CSI: Las Vegas - S08E07
Sorry, no ID
It's ok, Brass has a line on the resident director
Lanie, oh my God, no!
Hey, let her on through. Yes ma'am
- Lanie!Don't you ever die on me, promise! - I won't, I promise.
Ok, come on
It's the third jumper on campus this year
Maybe it's contagious
I saw this documentary once on suicides off the Golden Gate bridge
And they interviewed a survivor, and he said the moment that he let go of the railing
he realised that all of his problems were fixable
Except having jumped
Hey, Catherine
Yeah, Nicky what you got?
Chains and padlocks. There's no roof access from the dorm.
Well the body landed close to the building so if she didn't come from the roof, she must've come out of her room
OK, I'll work my way down
Nick, you in the dorm?
That's affirmative
I'm with the resident director, he's ID'ed the victime as Kira Dellinger she is in room 807
She's a freshman from McLane, Virginia.
I guess I'm gonna go notify the parents
- Perks of the job - Yeah
Hey, Catherine.
Do you see any wounds on the body inconsistent with the fall?
Hang on
Well, there's this
Yeah, there's a long para-mortem abrasion on her lower back.
I think I know how it got there
Drag 'n' drop
- Oh! - Oh
- Where's the fire? It's alright - Oh, sorry
Ah, Zolpidem
It's good stuff
Yeah, it's to help me sleep, I've been having the hardest time lately
Me too
Well, you're just coming off of Grave after all these years
you know, it takes a while to adjust
You're a tough cookie, I'm not worried about you
Take care of yourself, alright?
- Thanks - Yeah
- Sweet dreams - Thank you
- Hey, Sara you done with your scene? - Yeah
Great because we just caught another one: 425 off Craig Road
Busy shift! But you know I like that
- I'll see you outside, ok? - OK
What've you got?
Neighbours called in a domestic disturbance between Adam and Kim Jimenez
I responded, knocked, and didn't get any answer so I looked through the window and this is what I saw
No one's home so I called you guys
Blood but no body
- No sign of the couple - Nope, nothing
Lots of blood activity here
And someone ran out the door
Stop right there, hands where I can see them!
This is my house
Mrs Jimenez?
Where've you been?
My husband and I had an argument
I went on a walk
Where is your husband now?
I, uh... I don't know
Mrs Jimenez, are you ok?
Bad back
Sara, she's got a very bad back
Dispatch, this is CSI Lake We need paramedics right away at our location
Copy that CSI, will notify
- Hey - Hey
What do you think this might be?
Possibly a tooth fragment.
- High fall? - Yeah, we think she was pushed
So, between her knuckles, suggests a strugle?
Was she raped?
There's no trauma, but the wet mount indicates that she definitely had sex.
- Well, no condom, good for us. - Yeah
Such a scary thing sending your kid off to college
Is Lindsey looking already?
Yeah, in fact we looked at WLVU last month
Well, at least she'd be close to home
When she's free on campus, may as well be 1000 miles away
- Hey - Hey
Any luck with dorm security?
Nope. There's no cameras, only key-cards But according to the residence director
the door is propped open all the time anyway
OK
Kinda hard to tell the difference between a strugle and a typical college dorm room
Yeah, you should've seen mine it was really bad
X marks the girl
Symbol for a straight-edge lifestyle
Abstinence from drugs, tobacco, alcohol
but not sex
Sexual lubricant? Gimme that
- Still, pretty brave for college - Yeah, or just another way to get attention
Looks like our vic was in a goth band
- You know, I used to be goth. - Mmm-hhh.
Yeah, the goth thing was just an act, chicks dug it
How does that work?
You act depressed to get chicks, you get depressed chicks.
Baby are you ok? Are you alright? You doing ok? Huh? You alright? You ok? Yeah?
You call these cops on me? No. Did you call the cops on me?
- Why don't you finish upward - Wait a minute, how are we going to handle this?
- The guy is under arrest - He'll be free by tomorrow
Her husband is obviously abusing her There's got to be something we can do
We'll be back for her body next month or his, or both
There is nothing you can do about this Ronnie don't kid yourself
Sara, got something really good on that definistrated college kid
Oh that's Catherine's case, or you know what? Talk to Nick
No, no, no, no. You're really gonna love this. A print on a lube tube matched a print on her windowsill
AFIS got a hit
Every think you'd see that guy again
Marlon West was on trial for the murder of Stacy Vollmer.
He confessed, it was later thrown out on a technicality
We really didn't need it, the prosecution's case against Marlon was very stong
Until Marlon's little sister Hannah got on the stand and condessed to the murder herself
Marlon didn't kill Stacy, I did. And I was wearing this when I did it.
Oh yes, I remember this case. High school senior at age 12
- She's a prodigy - She's a pint sized Machiavelli
She manipulated events, fabricated evidence, and in the end...
We the jury find the defendant Marlon West, not guilty.
Hannah you are smart
But you have to be really smart to make people believe things happened, that never did
What do you mean, exactly?
I didn't kill Stacy. Marlon did.
She claimed that she did it because she loved Marlon, some warped sense of justice.
She graduated later that summer, became legally emancipated from her parents
and went off to Harvard, pre-Med.
You keeping tabs on her?
Not recently.
Look accident or no accident, Marlon killed before, Hannah sunk this case, M got a free pass and now he's killed again.
Well, we don't know that just yet. I mean we don't have Marlon's DNA to compare
with the semen that was found in the victim.
all the old evidence was expunged with the verdict.
- I want this case - The one that got away?
We're not supposed to let them get away, right?
Ok. I'll see if I can clear it with Ecklie.
Catherine has to supervise though, you report to her.
Hello Marlon
What are you guys doing here?
We're here to talk to you about Kira Dellinger
- Kira commited suicide - Actually she was murdered
Somebody I know ends up dead and I'm automatically a suspect?
History has a way of repeating itself Marlon
- You killed before - That was an accident
And I admited I was responsible from day one
Kira was forced out her dorm window, your prints were there
My prints were there because I've been in there a million times
Kira and I were in a band
Your prints were also found on a tube of sexual lubricant
- Were you having sex with her Marlon? - Yeah, we were having sex
- Last night? - No, we had a gig last night, we got into a fight
Did she give you that fat lip?
No, not exactly.
Kira! Kira! Keep your hands off her
I'm done. From now on, just stay out of my life, psycho.
I don't know who the guy was, I'd never seen him before.
After that, I just wandered the campus most of the night by myself.
So you don't have an alibi
I guess I don't
I'll tell you what. We will give you the benefit of the doubt.
In exchange for this. You remember this.
I assume you have a DNA warrant Sara?
Because if you don't, you certainly don't have his consent.
Isn't that right Marlon?
Hannah, I heard you were studying back East. What're you doing here?
Graduate school
- 'Scuse me. - 'Scuse me.
You are not gonna muddy the waters this time
Are you sure you'd know if I had?
You're welcome to stay. You might learn something.
Please turn to page 187
Oh, by the way, professor Calston said it'll be on the exam
I don't know Sara, it's going to be tough to get a warrant
I need Marlon West's DNA. If his semen is in Kira Dellinger it puts him at the murder
Look, they had a known sexual relationship, so there's no evidence of rape.
and I don't know if you know this, but Marlon's mother and father were killed in a car accident last year
Judge Bowman is going to be very sensitive to that. It could look like harassment
Jim, are you gonna talk to the judge or not?
Wow, you really got it out for this kid. What's the deal here Sara?
Marlon West has killed before
Not according to a jury of his peers.
Did you have fun talking to Kira Dellinger's parents?
Excuse me?
Must've been alot of screaming and crying and despair
There usually is, what's your point Sara?
My point is, if we had done our job right the first time Marlon West would be in jail
and Kira Dellinger would still be alive
Talk to the judge
HPLC found high levels of Gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid in Kira Dellinger's blood
GHB does occur naturally in the body You sure she was drugged?
Pretty sure. It'd started to metabolise in her blood and urine when she died
That typically indicates dosing
Ok, so then maybe she was roofied, raped, then murdered.
And no vaginal trauma because she was too numb to resist
it's possible
You know, some people take GHB recreationally
I didn't find any drug paraphernalia in her room
It was pretty consistent with a straight-edge lifestyle
You know that just sounds like something a girl tells her parents
in order to make them feel better
I mean, we know she had sex, there was GHB in her system
I think you just need to test everything in her room that she may have ingested
Ok
If you've got a band, you've got a blog
Got emails, IMs, text messages
A minute by minute diary of Kira Dellinger's life
With the last post a couple of hours before she died
What made you think to check her twitter page?
Well, most date rape victims know their assailants and Kira was an active blogger,
so I figured if she was having trouble with anyone she'd probably talk about it online
Some people just don't value privacy
They don't expect privacy. They value openness.
Whatever
It shouldn't suck when two boys fight over you, but it does
Drummerboy19 won't be a man
and TorchX wants what he can't have
They both bug
Looks like a virtual love triangle to me
My guess is Drummerboy19 is Marlon
TorchX responded to that
KiraEDGE, you know I never give up
That could be a threat
Lets see if this TorchX has a real name
Jordan Rockwell
I guess he values openness too
Mr Rockwell, do you know this girl?
I should. It's Kira Dellinger.
When was the last time you saw her?
Last night
Where?
At her place
We had sex
Nice, how'd that happen?
We used to date in high school, then we reconnected online
I came down to the campus to check out her band
So she gave you a roll for old times' sake
Well, I kinda helped her out with a boyfriend problem
Is this the problem?
Yeah, yeah that's the guy
He was into her, but she was not into him
Then he started giving her static so
I knocked the little douches' teeth out
I guess she kinda liked it cause she took me back to her place after that
Then what?
I wanna know everything up until the time when you wrapped you car around a telephone pole
She fell asleep and then I started feeling sick
So I got my car to drive home
But then I got really dizzy, and, wham
That's it
So she was alive the last time you saw her
What do you mean "she was alive"?
She's dead
According to Brass officers at the crash scene suspected that Rockwell was under the influence
so the hospital ran a tox panel
Positive for GHB
Really? So this guy roofies himself along with Kira?
Did they share a drink?
Well if they did it wasn't in anything we tested
Hodges ran all the water bottles and soda cans we collected from the room
No GHB in anything
Wait a minute. I think I know what they shared
- Kira and Jordan had unprotected sex, right? - Yes
That means they both came in contact with this
Kudos to you. The lube was indeed laced with GHB.
Not hard to do if you know a little chemistry
Marlon takes chemistry. Hannah teaches it.
We know Marlon's fingerpints are on the lube tube we know he was jealous
Maybe the GHB lube was his way at getting back at her
you know? give a drug free girl a bad trip
Which became a really bad trip
Yeah, but still it doesn't conclusively put anybody at the crime scene
There's one thing we have that does
We can get a warrant for this
I'm telling you I didn't kill Kira
I've never lied to you, not once You just never believe me
When I'm guilty you want me to be innocent when I'm innocent you want me to be guilty
Hey you know what Marlon? You can save it
Cause unlike most people you're not gonna get me to underestimate you
I already know you're every bit as smart as your sister
Especially when it comes to creating confusion
Open up
Bit down. Let it sit.
He didn't kill Kira, he cared about her
Hannah, what makes you think that I would believe anything that you told me?
I suppose I'm an optimist
College has been a difficult adjustment for Marlon especially after we lost our parents
I'm sorry about that
You're not really though
When will Marlon be able to leave?
Well we are going to keep him here as long as we possibly can
At least that's honest
It also seems a little vindictive
Given your brother's history I think it's pretty sensible
What's wrong Sara? You're different than you used to be
You're angry. And a little sad too. Why?
If you wanna spend more time with your brother
I recommend you invest in a good lawer Hannah
It's a physical match. Puts Marlon at the scence
It's probably not enough to put him in jail
I think I might be able to help you out there
I found a Friend Agenda page for Kira and Marlon's band "The Death Crusade"
Seems like alot of pictures for a college band
Well TDC, as they're called, has quite a solid fan base on campus
- Hannah was there - Yeah, Marlon must've been thrilled
What guy would like having his little sister around to watch as he gets his ass kicked in front of his girlfriend
You know what, just stay out of my life psycho
- Marlon, it's ok - Kira don't do this to me
So, this new guy pops Marlon in the mouth, chips his tooth Marlon's humiliated, decides to take it out on Kira,
kills her and then tries to make it look like a suicide
and in the midst of their struggle his tooth fragment ends up in her fist?
- What're you looking for now? - I'm not sure
- What are you doing? - I'm just taking a closer look at Marlon's chipped tooth
Look at the orientation of the fragment in the mouth
And now look at the way the tooth ended up in Kira's right fist
- Looks like it's backwards - I don't think Kira punched Marlon
I think Hannah picked up the tooth from a fight Marlon had earlier in the evening and I think she planted it on Kira
- That's crazy - It's possible
This kid is spinning me in circles. Again.
You know Sara, some cases, some suspects
can get under your skin. Like this tooth.
But you can't let it make you feel bad
If you want we can put Nick on this
No! No, I need to finish this case. I'll be ok.
Ok
What is that? In your hand.
I think it was a gum wrapper. It's wrong to litter
It's a piece of a tooth.
The one that Kira Dellinger's new boy-toy knocked out of Marlon's head
You had already spiked Kira's lube with GHB
All you had to do was wait
A piece of his tooth in her fist
A little bit of leverage, and your brother's a killer again
That's a highly unlikely series of events
You don't expect me to confess to something I didn't do
I am just putting you on notice. You are not fooling me anymore
I think I know why you're so angry Sara
I did some research. I read about what that serial killer did to you
- out in the desert, under that car - We're talking about you, Hannah
It must've been so terrible being trapped like that, all alone
- Did your life flash in front of your eyes? - That is none of your business
It must've been so sad knowing that you were going to lose
- everyone who mattered to you - Stop it, Hannah
Look I know how it feels! One moment my parents were alive
-and the next they're gone, my life changed in that moment -Answer the question
All that I have left is Marlon, why would I do anything to hurt him?
Stop playing games with me
You're the one who's playing games
- Hey - What are you doing here?
I was gonna ask you the same question
- Listen I'm worried about you - That just makes this worse.
I can't talk about this right now, I can't.
- Feel free to call me at any time, stay in touch ok? - Ok
What happened, her husband attack her again?
No she came in voluntarily. It took some convincing, but she's agreed to go to a shelter.
- She won't stay - Maybe not, but at least now she has a chance
Look I did it all on my own time, no OT
I know it's not the way you do things but I think it's part of the job
At least that's how I want it to be for me
- Why would Hannah want to frame me? - I don't know Marlon, she's your sister.
Hannah's always been kinda weird but since the trial and after our parents died, she started getting really weird
Like how?
Really clingy I guess, always wanting to hang around with me
And that changed when you met Kira
Yeah, but not for Hannah
Get out of here you little freak! Aren't you going to get her out of here?
I hope you two are really happy together, freaks
After that Kira said she was done with me
Marlon, don't be sad. She doesn't deserve you.
You're right, she doesn't.
You wanna help me teach Kira a lesson?
I asked Hannah to teach me how to make GHB and how to get it into Kira
I just wanted to mess her up a bit
I snuck it into Kira's room a few days ago, I still had a key
Hannah must've made a copy
I believe you, Marlon, I really do
But the only thing that a jury is going to see is your prints on the lube
your prints on the window sill, and another dead girl
- Why is Hannah doing this to me? - I don't know
All I know is you don't deserve to take the fall for this
And the question is are you going to let your sister get away with this
And spend the rest of your life in jail
If Hannah wants me in jail, that's where I'm gonna be. There's nothing I can do about it.
There is one thing
One foot away from the bars at all times, and no contact, understand?
Yeah, I understand
Thanks for coming
- The police said you needed me? - Yeah, I do
I need to know what I did to deserve this
- You killed Kira - We both know I didn't do that
You look a little flushed Marlon, are you feeling alright?
No, I'm not feeling alright
Kira always brought out the worst in you
Hannah, they're going to put me away for the rest of my life
The evidence is against you, particularly given your history of violence
Please, after everything I've done for you after everything we've done for each other
At least tell me why
Because I love you
And I love you too
No, you don't.
But you will
I promise I'll visit you every week
We're done
Well you gave it a shot, but she is way out of his league.
She's out of mine too
- Hi - Hi
- Ok, what's up?
- I'm sorry
I've been a ....
This is Sara
I'll be right there
Guard found him about an hour ago said he didn't even make a sound
- You need to talk to me again? - I do
I know that you killed Kira Dellinger
I just can't prove it
That must be frustrating for you
Hannah
Marlon's dead
Wow, that's a really sad and desperate ploy Sara
It's beneath you
He was doing well here, wasn't he? Making friends, joining a band, falling in love
But you're still a freak just like high school
You're lying, no this is a lie
His world got bigger and yours stayed the same and you killed Kira so you could keep him all to yourself
- Didn't you? - It's a lie!
- Judy have you seen Sara?
- She left a few minutes ago sir, but she did leave something for you
- Thank you
Gil, you know I love you
I feel I've loved you forever
Lately, I haven't been feeling very well
Truth be told, I'm tired
Out in the desert under that car that night I realised something and I haven't been able to shake it
Since my father died
I've spent almost my entire life with ghosts
we've been like close friends
and out there in the desert it occured to me
that it was time for me to bury them
I can't do that here
I'm so sorry
No matter how hard I try to fight it off I'm left with the feeling that...
I have to go
I've no idea where I'm going
but I know I have to do this
If I don't, I'm afraid I'll self-destruct and worse
you'll be there to see it happen
Be safe
Know that I tried very hard to stay
Know that you are my one and only
I will miss you with every beat of my heart
Our life together was the only home I've ever really had
I wouldn't trade it for anything
I love you
I always will
Goodbye
