CSI: Vegas (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - Eyeballs - full transcript

Previously on CSI: Vegas...

Three cases we've worked
on in the last few weeks?

They're all connected.

Richard
Sloan? Anyone home?

Stop!

Sloan's being
manipulated by somebody.

I mean, odds are it's the
same person behind all of it.

A guy told me
that you were attacked,

put in the hospital
and nearly died.

You sleeping okay?
Since your attack?

I know nights can
be the hardest part.



You're the most important
person in my life here.

But you're with Chavez now.

We can't be friends.

Let's do some sponsored posts.

Guys, we have to get these
dance moves down by tonight.

This dance is gonna
be dead by Monday.

Let's go.

All right, ready?

Three, two...

one!

Aah!

Dude, tell me you
didn't post that.

Wow.

That is a lot of blood.

Halfway to a paint job.

Maybe we'll
catch a break,

and this guy live-streamed
his own murder.

You never know.

Something Nateorious would do.

I'm not familiar.

I knew I liked you.

Nate and his friends,
the kids who found him,

they're all social
media influencers.

Basically, professional
narcissists.

You sure none of
them are lumberjacks?

Boy.

Somebody really
didn't like this guy.

That looks like at
least four deep slashes

to the throat.

Empty solo cup.

I wonder if he was passed
out when they got him.

Would explain the lack
of defensive wounds.

Well, could be
bruising we can't see.

I'm gonna switch to infrared
for a sub-dermal look.

No bruising on the
hands or forearms.

Serena?

Oh, man.

That's not good.

All right, maybe
this is something.

Unsolved homicide in Henderson.

Case number 16-90030.

Housewife's head got smashed

into a full-length
mirror in 2016.

Hmm, it's a little dusty.

Do you think there's some
connection one of our perps

or victims from the
Silver Ink cases?

Nothing solid, but...

mirror as a murder weapon.

Shades of
Alan Herskovitz.

I mean, it's worth a look.

Uh, Allie?

Isn't this your day off?

Yeah. I just, I
thought I'd come in

and look for some new leads.

See if there's any related
cases we might find.

And did you find any?

Nope. Okay.

So you go home, you come
with me. Boss, can I just...

Allie, I appreciate
your hard work.

But we don't have an open case.

It's been three weeks

and I need you working
on active files.

And I need you rested.

Personally, I find this
place very peaceful.

Okay, stay.

Hey, come on.

Where to?

Joshua caught a juicy
one in Green Valley.

And he asked for you by name.

Somebody call for the cavalry?

Something like that.

Heard I was your first
choice. I'm flattered.

This one has Chris
written all over it.

Blood spatter central
and it's very reminiscent

of one of your how-to videos.

Hey, it's just a side hustle.

Slice of CSI life,
forensics I find cool.

I never post about anything
confidential or sensitive.

Don't undersell it, Chris.

It's getting to be
a big deal. How big?

You've got a hundred
thousand followers?

112,126.

How much time you
spending on this?

None at work, I swear.

Chavez really enjoyed "What
To Expect When Dating a CSI."

Thanks for that. All right.

So you asked for him
specifically. Why?

Because the killer did, too.

You're gonna want to see this.

Killer wrote your
handle in... something.

It really pops
under black light.

Sodium carbonate.

I did a post on
invisible ink last week.

Somebody's been
paying attention.

And now they want you to
pay attention to them.

It's worse
than you think.

I know this guy.

It's gonna be all right, Chris.

Boss, please.

You got to let me
work this case.

The killer wrote your
name on the victim's face.

What if he'd written
all of our names?

Would the entire crime
lab be disqualified?

That's a nice way to
get away with murder.

Man has a point.

No, he doesn't.
The victim, Nate?

It's not like I
knew him personally.

I knew of him, but, then again,

a lot of people
do. He has close

to three million followers.

Had close to three
million followers.

I guess we
can't have killers

kicking us off cases, huh?

You can work it, but
you're riding shotgun.

You're point. Come on,
what's going on here?

Tell me about Mr. Popular
and all his friends.

I think it's some sort of...

weird revenge thing.
Four years ago,

Nate was charged with
killing a woman with an axe.

I knew his name
sounded familiar.

Not me. I was in Chicago.

My whole class at the
academy was, like, obsessed

with the entire
trial. It was Nate

and his roommate,
Warren, who were accused.

Two young guys like me...
You know, "extremely online."

Cops said that they
killed their neighbor.

Ana Reynolds. Someone
slashed her throat.

Just like today.

Warren's boot
prints were found

Mm-hmm.

Nate's camping axe turned
up in the dishwasher.

Bleached. They said
that the stab wounds

matched the axe's
pick end, but...

They beat
a murder charge.

I might've had a little
something to do with that.

I, uh, made a video
about the murder

and it sort of went viral.

How do you "sort of" go viral?

Fine. It completely
blew up. Show me.

Come on, show me.

Axe murders are crazy and nasty

and out of control.

But the castoff
is way more boring

and predictable,
and nothing like

what we saw in the
leaked crime photos.

The cops found blood ten
feet above Ms. Reynolds.

Why? How'd it get there?

No way an axe did that, chief.

Nothing in this case adds up.

I don't think Nate
and Warren did it.

You posted

about an ongoing murder trial?

There are rules about
this exact thing.

Wait, this was before I
was a CSI. Yeah, but look.

You're still posting.

I mean, like...
like, a ton of them.

Never about an ongoing case.

Not since you hired me.

Look, I was right.

A few days after I posted this,
I got DM'd by Greg Sanders.

I remember Greg. I
mean, did you two

overlap at the lab?

He left before I started,
but the point is,

he had a lot of the same
questions about Ana's case.

But the D.A. was overzealous.

Took the whole thing
to trial before

anyone could figure out
what really happened.

But you figured out
what didn't happen.

Nate and Warren's
lawyers actually

used my theory in court.

It's probably what got
them the acquittal.

I got a lot of flak from
other armchair detectives,

but I was right.

An axe like this

just does not explain

the spatter around Ana Reynolds.

What, is that the
same type of axe?

Actually, I-I...

I think it's the exact same axe.

No. You
think he just had

it lying around, his
old murder weapon?

Alleged murder weapon.

I just do not like
the look of this.

A vengeance killing.

Someone mad at
you about a trial.

We are talking about
something that,

that could be dangerous
for you, Chris.

Nobody knows Nate Taylor's
case better than I do.

LVPD will review
your social media.

And, uh, if they find
anything... They won't.

Okay, you two keep
processing up here.

And I'll make sure
we're collecting

DNA from Nate's housemates.

You know, I never needed a
reason to avoid social media,

but I... appreciate you
inventing a new one.

So, like, physically,
I was here last night.

But psychically, I was
on a whole other plane.

Yeah. I've read about
astral projection.

I don't think it's widely
recognized as a viable alibi.

Uh, fair warning, my dude, my
DNA is copyright protected.

Like, legally.

I'm not sure how to
respond to that, either.

Warren, you let us know

when we have your
attention, huh?

You got to get those
likes, huh, Warren?

My best friend
was just murdered.

Okay? Nate was, like...

he was, like, a legend.

I'm devastated.

And I have to share my pain.

Emotional honesty,
that's my brand.

Does your brand have an alibi?

Yeah, I was out last night.

So we had this little pre-party

at the new club at the Bellagio.

I got so messed up
that by the time

we got back, I-I
missed our own shindig.

I went straight to bed.

That's not exactly an alibi.

Okay, fine, but...

it's the truth.

I didn't think you'd
be a wristband buddy.

Come on, what club were you at?

Oh, this
isn't from a club.

I got hit on the
head a while back.

It's a nasty business, trying
to cover up for murder.

So I was partying at
WLVU Medical Center.

But, hey, better drugs there.

Uh, let's get specific, Warren.

What time did you get
home last night? Uh...

probably like...

lawyer o'clock.

Excuse me?

I've been through this before.

Okay? You've probably
heard about me.

I'm Warren Bart. I was
falsely accused of murder.

I'm zipping my lips.

I'm not saying another word
without my attorney present.

Thanks, gents.

Honestly, I don't see how
anyone could've done this.

Look.

Those footprints are Nate's,

we made the rest, but the
killer didn't leave any?

How is that possible?
It gets weirder.

Look at the spatter
pattern, what do you see?

Uh, blood. Everywhere.

You'd expect to
see a break in the blood

where the killer
was standing, right?

But there's no break.

There's no void.

Almost as if Nate was alone

on the balcony when
his throat was slit.

Right. So how does a
killer leave behind

a murder weapon and a body,

but not a single trace
that he was ever here?

I don't know.

It's like he was
killed by Batman.

Oh.

Sorry to interrupt. I-I
just, I'm expecting some...

It's okay.

You work here. You
don't have to apologize.

Hey, Beau told me

that you guys got to
meet some e-celebs

whilst you was out on the scene.

Must have been exciting for you.

Well, I quit Myspace
and never looked back.

Sometimes I forget
you're kind of ancient.

Oh.

It's all Nate's blood.
If the killer got nicked

swinging that axe,

he didn't leave
any on the blade.

There's no prints
either. Really?

Wait, wait,
wait, wait a second.

Wait, go back to your left.

What are those white crystals?

Sort of looks like salt.

Do you think the killer
could've sweat onto the axe?

Gloves don't cover
the whole arm.

If there's sweat, there's DNA.

Thanks.

So you're as
millennial as Chris.

You hiding some secret

internet following,
too?

I lurk. I browse.

But nope.

I'd rather not have my life

under the scope for everyone.

I don't see the attraction.

I guess Chris does.

He wanted to be an influencer

before he put the lab coat on.

I think... I think he
likes the attention.

In case you're living

may finally be taking the
L he so richly deserves.

Now some of us have always known
that Warren Bart is a killer.

We didn't need him dropping a
second body to confirm that.

to once again
helping the guilty.

Not sure that's the healthiest
use of your time, my friend.

Nate's murder is trending.
And everyone's talking

about the old Ana
Reynolds case again.

This is why I tell my
daughters they'll get a car

before they get Instagram.

Don't you think that'll
just make them want it more?

That's what
spyware is for. Oh.

You're that dad.

#ThatDad.

Wait, I got to go.

Allie ID'd the guy who
sweat on the axe handle.

Really?

Well, who was it?

Okay, Warren.

Why was your sweat
on that camping axe?

Sorry, Dr. Roby, but the scope

of your warrant is
limited to a blood draw.

My client isn't compelled to
answer any of your questions.

I thought he'd like a chance
to explain why the axe

that was at the center of
the Ana Reynolds murder case

was still in his house.

I appreciate
your curiosity.

But he's not answering
any questions.

You folks falsely
accused him once before.

If Ms. Willows was in
town to explain herself...

It doesn't matter. What
matters is you have

what you need,
and we're leaving.

Wait, wait.

Warren, wait.

We're trying to find the person
that killed your best friend.

I know you can help us.

No, you need to help me, dude.

You found me innocent once.

You got to do it again.

I didn't kill Nate.

Then who did?

I don't know. I don't. Dude...

My client has nothing
more to offer.

You have his DNA on an implement

you found in his house.

That's all you have.

That's all you'll ever have.

He's innocent.

We'll see.

I can tell you one
thing about this killer.

He hates subclavian arteries.

This one got severed in
four different places.

Hmm. Brutal.

Extremely. You want
to see something wild?

The blood vessels in
his conjunctiva flared.

That's... wild?

Well, it's not every day
you see trauma so pronounced

that it enflames the
membrane over the eye.

There's a new nightmare.

The lack of defensive wounds
is a lot less surprising.

Tox showed blood
alcohol was at 0.185,

and he had 260
milligrams per liter

of gamma hydroxybutyrate
in his system.

That's a lot of GHB.

If the killer was planning
ahead, maybe he drugged him.

Some people do take
it recreationally.

Ugh. These kids today.

Anyway, I'm just
getting started here.

But barring any surprises, I
think we all know the cause.

The killer struck
Mr. Taylor's neck

with so much force
that it left grooves in

his clavicle and first
rib here and here.

Wounds generally
consistent with an axe.

"Generally consistent"

is not what we're here for.

What? You want to start
with tool mark analysis?

Better we check the
grooves in his bones

before you make
the "Y" incision.

Warren Bart has a great
attorney, and a history

of tap-dancing his way
out of murder charges.

We can't leave any doubt

that those wounds

were inflicted by this
axe. Well, then...

swing away.

♪ ♪

Okay.

Let's try a
different angle. Yep.

Sonya? Yep.

Let's try the other
side of the axe.

Yeah.

It's not a
question of what angle

or what part of the blade.

Nothing matches.
There's no way

that that axe left those
marks on Nate's neck.

But if the axe isn't the
murder weapon, then...

Then the presence
of Warren's sweat

on the handle is
irrelevant. No.

I think the sweat being on
there is the whole point.

Warren Bart is being framed.

He's innocent.

Again.

Your friend Warren
is gaining followers.

Are we sure he's being framed?

The tool mark analysis was
as conclusive as can be.

The axe Warren handled
didn't kill Nate.

The sweat on the handle
actually helped his case, too.

How?

The blood that we drew
from Warren has high levels

of HGH and gonane.

Warren's taking steroids?

It's bulking season, I guess.

But neither chemical was present

in his sweat on the axe.

So, whoever left
the axe for us knew

that Warren had touched it
at some point in the past,

and they just figured,
"Good enough."

There's a new one. "I-I couldn't
have done it, Your Honor.

I'm taking illegal
steroids now."

So if Warren's innocent, and
the axe is out, we're nowhere.

We don't even know what kind
of weapon was being used.

That's your domain. Get
to it. You got it, boss.

You two, the killer
knows a lot about you,

Nate, Warren, and
the Reynolds case.

You better get shopping
online for followers.

You think it's someone
who follows me and Warren?

That's a suspect pool
of thousands of people.

Yup. You better get started.

The blood drops on the balcony

that we want to replicate were
all smaller than one millimeter.

Whatever the killer was
slicing and dicing with,

it was moving fast.

All right, hope you
stretched, Beau.

Let's figure out what it was.

♪ ♪

Grief and pain.

Product placement.
Grief and pain.

I mean, that is a proper
social media sandwich.

Got to pay the bills.

I once shilled for cat food

in a video I made about
the Menendez brothers.

Chris, you're
allergic to cats.

Warren Bart has killed again,
and now, the only question is,

will Chris Park help him
get away with it... again?

Who the hell is this guy?

Kind of like the Lestrade
to my Sherlock Holmes.

Oh. Sherlock would have a
suspect by now, so, uh...

Sorry. Mm-hmm.

Warren and Nate are
still gaining followers.

For every suspect we eliminate,

ten more names pop up
that we need to check out.

It's like troll whack-a-mole.

Well, human tragedy does
bring the boys to the yard.

Take a look at this.

Wow. There's nothing

like a few hundred people
sliding into your DMs.

With pitchforks in hand.

Forgive me, Chris.

I'm gonna have to be
your mom for a second.

Are you out of your damn mind?

You cannot put yourself out
there like this. It's dangerous.

My little corner of the
Internet was never this extreme.

Well, now someone in your
little corner is killing people.

You never know who
is watching you,

or what they are capable of.

Now, the next Mark David
Chapman could be lurking

in your damn comments.

Who?

Now I'm gonna talk to
you like your boss.

You need to start carrying a
service piece around the clock.

At home, too? Mm-hmm.

Don't you always say a CSI's
mind is their best weapon? I do.

But someone threw your
name into the mix.

So I'd say this case requires
more tangible protection.

And I want you safe.

Keep your head up, mate.

I'm not sifting through
this toxic cesspool alone.

And this is the
crime scene from above...

Hey, that's illegal.

You can't film an active
crime scene like that.

Check it out. Okay, I
know I'm breaking the law

by shooting this, but...

Well, at least she's self-aware.

Don't forget to like,
comment. Love ya.

Aah!

Nope. Uh-uh. Pay up, Beau.

Damn. Thought for sure
it was a power tool.

Not the first time Bob
Vila's let me down.

Now you know how I felt
when the halberd failed.

And the poleax.

You guys find the murder weapon?

No. We are officially
out of weapons and ideas.

Pretty much the only thing that
we haven't tried is that, like,

razor-sharp boomerang
from The Road Warrior.

I know you're joking, but...

you might be closer
than you think.

This was filmed by
the murder weapon.

Hey, Beau, don't drones
have, like, safety features

that stop them from hitting
buildings or... people?

Yeah, those are
easy to override.

First thing I did when I bought
one of these for my daughters.

Was it really for
your kids, Beau? Yeah.

They love watching me fly it.

Whoa. Whoa. I got it.

And that, gentlemen, is how
you make the perfect mess.

No footprints, no
void in the blood.

Because there was no killer
there. We-we got our answer.

Only one of them...
how, not who.

I guess we got to hope that
the killer left a trace

of himself at the house
when he planted the axe.

They'd never need
to get that close.

The largest
commercially-available drones

could carry a tool
that size as payload.

Well, drones like that are
standard tool of the trade

for some influencers.

Doesn't narrow it down much.

I think MurderHouse might be
a good place to start looking.

MurderHouse?

That's what
they're calling it.

Some of Nate's roommates

have rebranded.

Who would want that
kind of a brand?

Bro, check out my
first search warrant.

It's just like on TV.

Do you really need
to be filming this?

You better believe
it, lady.

Just another day in MurderHouse.

It's nonstop over here, man...

This is harassment, okay?

I'm not talking to you
guys without my lawyer.

Well, you don't
need to talk at all.

We just need to see your drone.

I don't own a drone.

You and literally every one

of your housemates have
posted drone footage.

Someone in this house has one.

Warren, if it's here, it'll only
take us five minutes to find it.

Forget it. It won't
even take that long.

Hey.

Two minutes and 45 seconds.

The propellers are damaged.

We got blood.

We got the murder weapon.

Actually... What?

It's all rusted where
the blade broke.

I don't think this thing's
been air-worthy for a while.

Could you, uh...

hold that, please?

Nate had O positive
blood, but this...

It's not his blood?

Wonder how long it's been here.

Four years and three months.

That test did not tell you that.

The woman Nate and Warren
were accused of killing?

She had A positive blood.

That drone didn't
kill Nate Taylor.

It killed Ana Reynolds.

They really did murder her.

And I helped them
get away with it.

Look at the photos, Warren.

Look at them.

You can't, can you? I get it.

What you did to Ana was...

We found Ana Reynolds's
dried blood on your drone.

Blood leaves DNA, and
DNA leaves no doubt.

He's not going to
talk. How about this?

Why don't you stop me when
I get something wrong?

Around 11:00 a.m...

What is it you're hoping
to... Around 11:00 a.m.

on August 5, 2018,

you took your new
quadcopter drone

out for a spin.

You saw Ana sunbathing

and decided to
get a closer look.

Maybe you wanted to prank her.

I checked. The drone's safety
features were disabled.

That allowed you to
get way, way too close.

When you ran into Ana's yard,

she was bleeding out, dying.

But instead of calling
911, you panicked.

You didn't want her telling
the cops what happened,

so you finished the job yourself

with Nate's camping
axe.

Perhaps Mr. Taylor...

You ransacked Ana's house

to make it look like a
robbery, you washed the axe

to destroy the evidence.

I want to know why you
kept the damn drone.

I don't own a drone! Warren.

No, that's right.

We found it in Nate's closet.

He's the one who kept it.

Well, that's
telling. It tells me

that by the time Nate
found out what happened,

he was already
charged with murder.

Your fates were tied together.

Maybe he kept it for leverage.

Is that what this was
all about, Warren?

CSIs only found your footprints
in Ana's yard, Warren.

Was Nate even there?

Or did you just let your
best friend stand trial

for murder with you
to save yourself?

Was he threatening
to come forward

about what really happened?

Is that why you killed him?

Even if this story was true...

Which, for the
record, it is not...

My client can't be charged.

- He's protected by double
jeopardy. - Your client

killed Ana Reynolds.

Mr. Bart was acquitted
of those charges,

so the story you cooked
up is just that: a story.

Wrong. It's what happened.
We have new evidence.

Not nearly enough evidence

to overpower Mr. Bart's
constitutional protections.

My client can never
be charged again.

And as for Nate Taylor's murder,

Mr. Bart's alibi
remains unchanged.

He was asleep when
Nate was killed.

She's right.

You're free to go, Mr. Bart.

I helped a man get
away with murder.

You knew there
was something wrong

with the prosecution's
case, and you said so.

They hadn't figured out the MO.

Look, Warren's acquittal's
on the D.A., not you.

Not even this lab.

We can't change the past, Chris.

We have to focus on Nate now.

I am.

And I think Warren did it again.

He could have used a new
drone to fake being framed.

What better way

to get away with murder
for a second time?

I can barely track that logic.

I sincerely doubt
that Warren could.

He just doesn't have
enough going on upstairs.

Okay, I want to talk
about upstairs, actually.

The balcony. So,

the killer never set foot
up there, which means

that the killer wrote on Nate's
eyelid before he went outside.

Another guest at the party.

That only narrows
it down a little.

It was practically an
open house that night.

Anyone could've gone in
and out. True, but what is

the one thing that everyone
at that party was doing?

Filming.

Constantly.

Maybe one of them caught
the killer on camera.

I'll scrub all the
housemate's accounts,

try to find anyone who
was hanging around Nate.

Maybe catch Warren in a lie.

Okay, so, I think it's time

that you and me learn a little
more about invisible ink.

Hey.

Thought you'd
want to know. Hmm.

LVPD finished its investigation
into Chris's social media.

And? He didn't
break any rules.

At least not since
joining the lab.

No sanctions recommended,
no suspension.

Good. I'd love to go a full year
without a scandal in my lab.

But there is something
you should see.

Try searching #ChrisFails.

Okay.

Who's this guy?

Keep scrolling.

you'll wish you'd
have ended it."

Okay, that's basically
a death threat.

And that's just
the public posts.

I mean, his DMs are worse.

I told him that he
should be carrying.

What do you think about
putting a uni on him?

At least till this blows over?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

You know, he does seem
a little... idealistic.

Not always conscious of taking
precautions in the field.

Uh-huh.

Sorry. I'm just...

How did your doctor's
appointment go?

It was a routine
post-concussion checkup.

You were admitted to a hospital.

For an overnight
sleep test. I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Okay.

Good.

Lot of people been asking,

"Vincent, how did Warren Bart
get away with murder again?"

Well, let's start
from the beginning.

Hello, Unknown Blonde
Guest Number 14.

You've won an
all-expense-paid trip

to my spreadsheet of suspects.

I mean, there weren't this
many people at my wedding.

It's gonna take days
for us to log everybody

Nate's interacted with.

We out of
here... free Warren!

Peace, love,

truth prevails, baby!

Truth prevails! Let's go!

Excuse me. If you're
gonna self-flagellate,

could you find
someplace private?

We got a lot of
party to go through,

and I can't give it the
Zapruder treatment solo.

Can you tell me why anybody
would want to do this?

Be a... be an influencer?

Yeah, I can.

Having thousands
of people tell you

that what you're doing
is cool feels... awesome.

A little too awesome.
It's addicting, really.

I've been there.

I mean, kind of.

Getting praise for
the wrong reasons.

That's the reason I left Dow.

I started to care more about
the attaboys than the...

- the work itself, the...
- All right, so,

invisible ink was a bust.

It just came from a
generic, store-bought pen.

Nothing traceable.

But I did solve
one minor mystery.

Hmm. Oh.

Did Sonya take that for her
collection? I know she was

jazzed about the
burst blood vessels.

No, I-I took that,
thank you very much.

And look... Those aren't
burst blood vessels

that caused the
trauma after all.

See that? That's mucus
under the invisible ink.

Nate had conjunctivitis.

The victim had pink eye?

Probably not the worst infection
bouncing around that house.

Boy, he's a tough
crowd today. Usually...

Guys, guys.

I think I found the drone.

In the parking lot earlier,
Beau almost crashed

after slicing the
dummy's neck, right?

Excuse me. Landed
it just fine.

Right, right, but maybe
the killer didn't.

This video was
posted within minutes

of Nate's estimated
time of death.

So where did it land?

Yeah, the drone had to have
landed right around here.

Damn.

Well, it's already
been two days.

We're not that lucky.

But you see that?

What?

Oh, man.

Oh, this bush is attacking me.

Gotcha.

What is that?

I think it's a
piece of a wet wipe?

Looks like a little-little
critter kind of got to it.

Shredded it up pretty good.

Yeah, looks like a rat
tore it up for its nest.

Oh. Oh.

That is definitely blood.

So the killer
cleaned Nate's blood

off the drone after the murder.

A rodent saved a piece
of evidence for us.

If the killer wasn't wearing
gloves, we could have DNA.

Stuart Little might've just
solved your case, Chris.

♪ ♪

Still inconclusive?

Looks like any touch DNA

on your sample is beyond hope.

But you still have
the partial alleles.

Can't you reconstruct the DNA
with the PCR thing that you do?

You know, how they
fill in the gaps

like they do in Jurassic Park?

So, first of all,
that's not a thing.

And secondly, no,
because your sample...

It took a bath in Clorox.

Oh, man. Mm.

If I had thought about
how much bleach is baked

into these wipes, I would've
spared myself the pain.

You got to get some
antibacterial on that

'cause it could
still get infected.

Whoa, hold on. Scratches.

No, it's fine. No.

Scratches.

welcome, my friends, to
the right side of history.

Hold still.

No. It hurts.

Isn't swabbing,
like, CSI 101, Chris?

Hey, can you be careful
with that stuff, please?

That's my livelihood. CHAVEZ:
We got a warrant, bud.

This is a big-time setup.

You can
call me Vincent.

And, gosh,

I don't know.

How about those scratches?

Where'd you get them?

I went hiking at
Lost Creek last week.

Lost Creek?

That's a paved trail.

I like to go off

the beaten path, Chris.

Got a little too ambitious.

I know you follow me online.

I follow you, too.

You reviewed

a heavy-duty quadcopter
drone six months ago.

I sold it a week later.

It was just too
big, hard to fly.

It didn't, uh...

elevate my content.

It's not here.

All right, well,

if you guys are done, I have

a live stream in ten
minutes, thank you very much.

Take off your glasses.

No. Why?

You can do it, or I
can do it for you.

Our warrant covers
your physical person.

Okay.

Thank you, Vincent.

I'm gonna get to
practice my swabbing.

Right in your eye.

♪ ♪

Got some
bad news for you.

The kind of pinkeye you have?

Antibiotics won't help.

It's gonna linger for a while.

Okay.

I guess nobody should
borrow my mascara.

What are we talking about?

We're talking about
the adenovirus

that's causing your
conjunctivitis.

And the fact that it's...

100% identical

to the strain we found
in Nate Taylor's eye.

You got it when you scribbled

my internet handle
on Nate's face.

You steered Nate
out onto that balcony.

And then you revved up that
drone that you claim you sold.

And you slit his throat.

You can
deny it, but, uh,

going viral here?

It's gonna put you behind bars.

See, Vincent,
it's the little things.

Like, microscopic.

But you already know that,
you're a super sleuth.

I was right.

The whole time.

About everything.

I always said that Warren
and Nate were guilty.

And you said I no idea
what I was talking about.

That my grasp of evidentiary

procedure was weak.

You remember that?

Do you know what that
did to my credibility?

Do you even realize
what that video cost me?

I lost 20% of my
followers overnight.

You only had 8,000 followers
at your height, Vincent.

You really think that...

a couple thousand people
clicking unsubscribe

justifies murder?
Shut up, boomer.

It's not just the followers.

'Cause you rode that momentum

all the way here.

All the way to my dream job.

If you wanted to be a CSI,
you could've just applied.

I did. And I got rejected twice.

So I used it as fuel.

For what? To get
the truth out there.

About Warren Bart...
and Nate Taylor.

So I did what you
people couldn't.

I figured out how Ana
Reynolds was killed.

All right, let's go. Now
everybody knows, Chris.

Everybody knows
that you're a fraud.

Hands
behind your back.

You don't even deserve
to wear a lab coat.

I found you, didn't I?

You helped a
murderer walk, Chris.

I just punished one. Let's go.

I have some good news.

LVPD has cleared you.

You are off the hook with them.

But you are not off
the hook with me.

These videos that you post.

Just putting yourself
out there, it's...

After this, I promise I get it.

And again...

I'll never post about
an ongoing case.

These days...

every time you
leave this office,

you are at risk.

We have to be smart.

And we have to
protect ourselves.

From now on...

I'll stick to Instagram.

Are you kidding me?
Instagram...

I'm kidding. Kidding, boss.

Do not make yourself a target.

I need to set
the record straight.

I was wrong about the
Ana Reynolds case.

My theory that Warren Bart

didn't kill Ana with an
axe missed the point.

This was the murder weapon.

By now you've all
heard we found one

just like it in Warren's house.

I don't get to say that
Warren Bart is a murderer.

But I can say

that he shouldn't
benefit from the deaths

of Ana Reynolds and Nate Taylor.

So don't like.

Don't subscribe.
Unfollow Warren.

Don't give people like
that any more eyeballs.

Me?

I'm signing off.

For good.
