Look out!
Move it.

Councilwoman?

Councilwoman Escalante?

Relationship with Abby ...
was she more than a housekeeper?

Was she more than
a housekeeper?

Councilwoman?

... how will your
husband's murder trial...

affect your
reelection campaign?

Stop! Let me go!

I'm going to tell your wife!

Take your seats.

Court will be in session
in five minutes.

Straighten your tie.

Hey, Horatio,
we got a problem.

Speed, I'm under subpoena.
I'm about to testify.

You might want
to reconsider that.

Remember that call I
rolled out on this morning?

The Jane Doe?

She was familiar.

How familiar?

Young, pretty Latina.

Single gunshot,
close range, left temple.

Okay.

Alexx, Jane Doe?

I just got her, Horatio.

I'll have results within the hour.

Okay, Alexx, I need
something right now.

Mint leaves in
her stomach.

Swallowed whole.

I'm guessing tox will say
they're from a mojito,

just like Abby Sandoval.

Okay, thank you.

There's a flag
on the play, Don.

I can't testify today.

Why the hell not?

I've got a family emergency.
My grandmother's ill.

You were the last
nail in the coffin.

That's why I've
been saving...

you for last.
I understand that,

but I need more time.
I've got none to give you.

Don, I need you
to make more time.

Your grandma better be
bleeding from her eyeballs.

Twenty-four hours.
Okay.

Fastest scalp on the east.

I think I just set some kind
of postmortem speed record.

Is she that similar
to Abby Sandoval?

Like looking in the mirror.

Both victims in
their early 20s.

Pretty, Latina,
shot once in the head,

left temple,
mint leaves in the stomach,

both worked with their hands.

Now,

I'm thinking Jane Doe here
may have been a domestic,

just like Abby was.

She couldn't have been
killed by Lorenzo Escalante,

because he was in custody
at the time of her death.

How are they different?

Abby Sandoval has glass
frag in her wound track.

Not surprising since she was shot
through the window of her car.

Didn't find any
glass on Jane Doe.

Where did you find her?

Dumped roadside, no car.

Or maybe we haven't
found her car yet.

You thinking we
got a serial?

I don't know.

But we better find out before we
send an innocent man to jail for murder.

1x17 Simple Man

Nice shot.

Hey.

You busy?

Oh, I'm up to
my ass in alligators.

There was a big shooting
on the causeway yesterday.

Fifty-four expended rounds.

Not to mention,

Detective Hagen is riding me
like a gulfstream park pony.

John Hagen?

Yeah.

Listen, I need a favor.

Sure.

Nine mil, hollow point.

It's brass-jacketed.

So my guess is it's
a golden talon.

Here's what I need.

I'd like to lift the bullet from
the Abby Sandoval case...

and compare it to that.

Isn't that case
on trial right now?

Okay. Quickly and quietly.

Thank you.

What'd you get?

Denise, the court reporter,
told me that Escalante's lawyers...

have been filing
motions all morning.

It means they're moving to get
the case thrown out of court,

so we have to work fast.
Here you go.

Jane Doe's clothes?

Tape it and scrape it.

You know what
we're looking for, right?

Two fibers we found
on Abby Sandoval.

Worsted wool and
tropical weight.

Exactly right.

Just like Escalante's
$2,000 suits.

Speed, keep me posted.

Eric.

H.

Listen, sorry to bug you
on your day off.

It's not a problem.

I was, uh, thinking of doing
some diving anyway.

Might as well do it
on the county time, huh?

One question.
What's that?

Speedle's Jane Doe --
she wasn't a floater.

Why do you want me to bring
my dive gear to the crime scene?

Abby Sandoval.

Sandoval?

I thought that investigation
was closed.

Officially it is.

Horatio?

I'll meet you out there.
Yeah?

How's grandma?

It's too soon to tell.
Still running tests.

Anything you'd like to share?

Not just yet.
Grandma likes her privacy.

You want to know
what I really like?

What's that?

I like smoking a
Monte Cristo number two...

after winning a
slam-dunk case.

Your grandma wouldn't be trying
to screw me out of a good cigar?

Want to make sure
that we find the right guy.

We've got the right guy.

Lorenzo Escalante.

He had an affair with the maid.

He admits to getting
rough with her.

Got his semen inside of her,
his DNA under her fingernails.

Yes, Don, but we
don't have the gun.

Look, Horatio,
we're on the same side.

I'd like to think so.

Yeah, well, we are
in the middle of the trial.

We've already picked the jury.

We've called our experts.

We spent over a million
dollars in taxpayers' money.

We have new evidence.

Yeah, well, that's what
appeals are all about.

Listen, this is not about
the case anymore.

Now, it's about winning.

Well, you know what then?

We're not on the
same side.

H.

What do we got?

Park Ranger found our Jane
Doe on the side of the road.

Okay.

Here we go.

All right.

Well, she wasn't killed here.

There's not enough blood
for a head shot, right?

She could have
been dumped.

I've got a couple of guys on the
road preserving some tread marks.

Okay.
Eric?

Check this out.

All right, blood trail.

Adell, pull your men
off the road.

We're going to expand
the crime scene.

She crawled to here ...

probably rested
for a moment ...

losing a lot of blood...

continued to travel...

and somehow got up.

Fell again right here.

Wait a minute.

Is that a shadow right there?

That's definitely a car.

Looks like a compact.

Never turtled.

The water's too shallow.

So, she crawled from here
all the way to the road.

A quarter of a mile
on her belly,

with a nine-millimeter
round in her head.

All for nothing.

Not if we can help it.

The window's
spider-webbed.

Could have shattered
when Jane Doe got shot,

just like Abby Sandoval.

The difference is,

Jane Doe had no
glass in her wound.

I'll SPR the steering wheel,

see if we can lift a
print give her a name.

You know what?
Don't bother.

I got her purse here.

Any I.D.?

Hang on.

There's no driver's license,

but here's a
check-cashing card.

"Bonita Cruz,
Southwest Tenth Street."

It's a couple of blocks
from my folks.

Abby Sandoval lived in
the same neighborhood.

She did. Southwest
14th street, right?

Yeah, I know a lot
of girls like that.

They come from Cuba,
Honduras,

Nicaragua looking
for a better life.

They wind up cleaning
toilets in Bal Harbour.

It's the
"invisible ones."

Perfect victims.

No one gives them
a second look.

Somebody gave this
one a second look.

Whoop.

Someone also
left us a present.

Let's bag that.

Eric, you used to play right
field for the 'canes, right?

See how far you
can throw that.

Nice throw.

Okay, here's what
we need to do.

Let's set a grid from the car
to where the rock landed.

In case the guy
tossed the gun.

Yup. Keep in touch.

Duquesne.

Detective Hagen.

You got my results?

Not since you
called me an hour ago.

You told me you'd have
it done this morning.

John, I have got
fifty-four rounds,

and your being down here isn't
going to help me solve it any faster.

I'm sorry.

Am I bothering you
here in your nice,

air-conditioned crime lab,

'cause I'm sweating
my butt off...

trying to get my causeway
shooter into arraignment.

All right.

Your personal hygiene aside,
I'm really sorry.

Something came up,
and I got backed up.

Something?
What kind of something?

I can't tell you, but
I promise you as soon as

I get this other thing off
my scope I will finish yours.

Whatever it is better be big.

It's the biggest.

Big like Abby Sandoval?

I heard about what happened
in court this morning.

Word is Horatio
really stepped in it.

We'll get your shooter.

I just need you to
give me some time.

I can't hold him
past noon.

Cut him loose.
Rearrest him again tomorrow.

What if he skips?

Put a radio car on him.

I don't know, John.
I have to do it.

I hope Horatio knows
what he's doing.

He's been doing
it a long time.

Hope he gets
to keep doing it.

Hey.
Hey.

I found a whole bunch of
fibers on Bonita Cruz's dress.

You get a match?
Yeah.

Tropical weight
worsted wool.

Same like the two we
pulled off of Abby Sandoval.

I hate to say it,

but I think we've got
the wrong guy in custody.

Okay, but you just said you got
multiple fibers off Bonita's dress.

Over fifty.

You got two off Abby's.
That doesn't track.

Neither does a
serial killer...

who wears $2,000 suits
and kills maids.

Unless he's not a serial.

I think I figured out how
he picks his victims.

Take a look at this.

Did you get something
off the purse?

Take a look.

Looks like newsprint.

The ink's way too
degraded to read.

Okay, let's look deeper.

Freeze-drying.

It's a way to remove the water
without damaging the paper.

Ready?

Now try green
with an IR filter.

"Empleos domesticos."

These are ads
for housekeepers.

From a cuban
newspaper.

Diarios Las Americas.

So, Bonita Cruz was
looking for a job.

You want me to take this?

Uh, no, I'll take it.

You find Eric.

Yelina.
Horatio.

I heard about the
surfside triple.

Nice going.

Well, thank you.

Just came to pick up
the final labs.

Okay, let me walk you.

Okay.

Sorry about dinner.

We've been
really backlogged.

Yeah, I heard.

Seems like a lot of cases are been
moved to the back burner lately.

Call the city council and
send me more criminalists.

Let's talk about
Abby Sandoval instead.

What about her?

Don't, okay?

Word around the department
is you've reopened the case.

Word travels fast.

This is Miami.

There are no secrets, Horatio.

I have some concerns
about the case.

Yeah.

We've had this
conversation before.

Well, then you
know how it ends.

How long are we going to
keep dancing around in circles?

I don't know.

Someday we have to
talk about that, don't we?

Yeah.
Someday.

Just be careful, Horatio.

If I did that, it would
take all the fun out of it.

I'll call you.

Any trouble?

Hey.

Editor gave the usual
first amendment defense.

How'd you flip him?
I know the publisher.

Any matches?

Not yet,

unless you're interested in
meeting a 300-pound transvestite.

I'll pass.
Hang on a second.

Horatio.

Hey, it's Speed.

We came up empty
on the canal.

So, no gun?

Actually, Delko
found three guns...

and a washing machine,
but, uh, no nine mils.

Any chance that he missed it?

Let me ask him.

Any chance you could
have missed it?

It's pretty murky
down there.

We did a hand-over
hand rigid-grid search...

100 yards downstream.

You get that?

All right,
I'll tell him.

What did he say?

"Throw another rock."

What does that mean?

It means we got a long
night ahead of us.

Okay, looks like Bonita Cruz circled
three ads for domestic work.

Any stand out?

Yeah, this one.

600 bucks a week.
Rates have gone up.

Okay, seems like a
good place to start.

The number listed in
the ad doesn't answer,

but the prefix strikes me as one
of those prepaid cell phones.

Use it, toss it,
you can't trace it.

Looks like that ad you're
looking for was a mail-in.

Printed on your basic
laser jet, huh?

Do you have the envelopes
these come in?

We've got mail.

There's no return address.

But that's a postal
code right there.

You guys,
we need to talk.

Did you see this?
Did you see this?

Councilwoman
Mercedes Escalante.

You don't think she had
anything to do with it?

I don't know.

Let's find out.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I'm Carl Galaz.

I'm Special Assistant
to the Councilwoman.

How can we assist
Miami's finest today?

Here's what we need, Carl.

I need to know who has
access to your office machines.

Well, that's everyone
in this office.

We have six staffers and
about a dozen interns.

What's this about?
Two things.

I'm going to need a list
of those names,

and I'm going to need to
take the machines to my lab.

Oh, afraid we can't do that.

Not without our
lawyers present.

You want to make
that call, please?

Actually, it's my call.

Lieutenant Caine.
Mercedes Escalante.

I have followed your
career for many years.

Likewise, Councilwoman.

You will have our
full cooperation.

The sooner we can
get to the truth,

the sooner my husband
can come home to his family.

Please take anything
you need...

and we'll be happy to supply
you with a list of everyone...

that has worked in the office
for the past twelve months. Carl?

This is very generous of you.

Oh, well,

we're really looking forward to
putting all of this behind us,

Lieutenant.

Um ... would you
give us a second?

Oh, absolutely.

Thank you, Carl.

Adelle.

Be right there.

The Councilwoman
knew we were coming.

It's not what you think.

What do I think?

I know Mercedes,

since we were kids at San Juan
Bosco but she runs the community...

and when I need information,
she gives it to me.

One hand washes the other.

Together they wash the face.

Come on, H.,

You know that's the way things
get done here in Miami.

I understand that, Adell.

H., It was a courtesy heads-up,
nothing more.

Nothing more than I would have
done in any other knock-and-talk.

Okay.

Let's not give her any
more help, all right?

Okay.

Hey, where's that pistol?

Uh, I checked it into
evidence a couple hours ago.

What are you talking about?

You mean it's just
been sitting there?

Yeah, I paged you and
you never answered.

I turned my pager off
when I was on the range.

I tried to get in
touch with you.

I've been chained at the lab
with a 54-round shooting ...

that was supposed to be
processed twelve hours ago.

Yeah, well I spent
the same twelve hours ...

inhaling sewage at the
bottom of the Tamiami Canal,

so everyone's
got a sad story.

I'm sorry.

Me, too.

Okay.

We're due in court
in two hours,

is there any way
to link these two?

Not with the
bullets alone.

The rifling on Abby's
bullet is good,

but Bonita's is damaged.

But there's no way to match
this to Abby or the gun,

but there might be
another way.

Cartridge casing we
found in Bonita's car.

Exactly.

So if I can get a
test-fire on the pistol,

then I get match the rifling...

on Abby's bullet to the firing-pin
impression of Bonita's casing.

The gun is the key.

Without it we've got nothing.
We've got to get it.

The clock is ticking.

Misfire.

Okay, we've
got a problem.

Can't get a test-fire.

Not with this weapon ...

and not in the amount
of time we have left.

What's your Plan B?

Gun vault.

Be still my heart.

Hey.
How'd we do?

I did a mix and match from the
vault and finally got a test-fire.

Bottom line?

Bonita Cruz and Abby Sandoval
were killed by the same weapon.

We got a match.
We got a match.

Excellent.
Nice going.

Thank you.

Based on what I was just given,
this is pretty much a bombshell, so ...

I'm going to rule on it now.
Please step back.

It has come to
my attention...

that the crime lab has uncovered
new evidence in this case.

Evidence of an exculpatory
nature to the defendant.

As such, defense counsel
has moved for a mistrial.

So granted.
This court is adjourned.

Horatio,

I'm not going to take the fall with
you on this one, I warned you.

It's not an acquittal.
It's a mistrial.

You can re-file.

You got the extra million
bucks for the new trial?

I'm about to bring you
two defendants.

Yeah, you do that.

In a stunning setback for
the Miami-Dade Crime Lab,

and the State
Attorney's office,

Real Estate Developer Lorenzo
Escalante was released today ...

after a mistrial was declared
in the Abby Sandoval ...

I can't believe we're
letting this jackass walk.

I hope H knows
what he's doing.

You know what they say,
no guts, no glory.

What else could we do if
you want to catch the killer?

Yeah, killers.

Okay, well,
say there's two killers.

How do you explain
the same fibers,

the same murder weapon,
same taste for mojitos?

Apples and oranges.

We got two fibers you find on Abby,
but over fifty on Bonita.

Abby's killer keeps the gun,
Bonita's tosses it in the canal.

Okay, how did the second killer
get their hands on the gun...

from the first murder?

You talking about the
apple or the orange?

Oh, dear god,
I'm hungry.

I'm just saying there's
two killers out there.

Okay, and the second
killer couldn't possibly ...

have all the details
from the first murder.

Maybe he did.

Maybe he did have the details
and that would make him...

a copycat, wouldn't it?

Ready?

So I'm a copycat...

and I want to make Bonita Cruz
look like my second victim.

I've selected Bonita...

because she is almost
identical to Abby Sandoval.

So you place a want ad for
a young Latina housekeeper.

You offer top salary.

You buy a disposable cell
phone so you can't be traced.

And like Abby,
she has to be pretty,

so you meet her in person,

someplace public so
she doesn't get spooked.

And when you
meet Bonita Cruz,

you know you
have your victim.

Right, so you hire Bonita.

You follow her.

You pull her over,
and then you shoot her.

With the gun you've procured
from your first murder.

Then you plant the fibers.

Push the car
into the canal.

And throw the gun
in for us to find.

Let's prove that.

Alexx ...

how tall was Bonita Cruz?

About five six.

And her wound track?

Left to right, angle is downward
an inch below the hairline.

Show me.

They don't line up.

Here's why.

The shot that killed Bonita Cruz
did not go through this window.

Bang to the temple.

Bang through
the window.

There were two shots.
There were two shots.

Another nine mil.

There you have it.

That means the killer copied
everything down to the...

smallest detail including shooting
out the driver-side window.

You can't plan detail
because events are random.

They can never be
perfectly recreated.

One thing he didn't count on was
her rolling down the window.

We know of two people
that directly benefit ...

from the existence
of Bonita Cruz, right?

Lorenzo Escalante.

Guy has motive,
he's got connections,

so he hires a guy.

Well, it doesn't
have to be a guy.

Women commit 17%
of all homicides...

and being connected
to a murder conviction ...

could ruin
your political career.

You're still thinking
it's the wife?

It seems out of character.

What I hear, she used to run
with a pretty rough crowd.

She campaigned on it,

but we still have to put
her outside this car.

Horatio.

I have someone
you should meet.

She claims she's more
comfortable in Spanish.

This is Carmen Abregon.

She's one of those...

43 women we tracked
down via cell phone records.

She responded to
that ad in the Diario.

Okay.

El homble?

Si.

Bad feeling?
Por que?

Con este calor,
con este clima en Miami.

Mojitos.
Mojitos.

Carmen, do you remember
what the man looked like?

Hey, what's up?

You still got that list
Galaz gave us?

Yeah, it's ...

... right here.
I think I've got an idea.

I think I've got an idea.

Speed, see what else
you can do with this.

Will do.

It's just a list.

Actually, it may be much more.

Writing on a notepad leaves
indentations on the pages beneath.

We should be able to see
what was written...

up to seven
layers above.

Crespo.

El nariz no t�n polea.

Un poco de masa.
Pero mas escuro.

Ojos negros.
No t�n poleo.

See anybody you know?

Carl Galaz.
Escalante's handler.

Let's see how
Carl handles this.

Carl Galaz, you're under arrest
for the murder of Bonita Cruz.

You know what you just did?

Your career is over.

When I'm through with you,

you're going to be doing
time cards at county lockup.

Still got the phone, Carl.

You still have
the phone.

You've got seven dollars
of call time left, Carl.

Seven dollars in exchange
for the rest of your life.

Take him.

Carl, I think I understand
what's going on here.

You killed Bonita Cruz to get
Lorenzo off the hook for murder.

I understand that part.

What I'm curious about
is whose gun was it?

It was my gun.

I have advised my client
not to speak further.

I want that on the record.

Counselor,
I'll get you a copy.

How would that be?

Carl, you are about
to take the fall.

Now, is that what this is?

I killed them.

I killed them both.

Why, Carl, are you
protecting the Escalantes?

The Escalantes gave me
their trust and their friendship.

They gave me respect.

Now I owe
them everything.

This is your last chance.

You can either ride their
coattails or you can ride mine.

You decide.

Carl ...

I killed them.

All right.

Lieutenant ...

Lieutenant Caine.

I just wanted to
thank you ...

for all your hard work
on behalf of the city.

You can't imagine how...

shocked we all
are to learn about Carl.

Councilwoman,

I'm certain this has been a
very difficult period for you.

I also wanted to
thank you as a ...

as a wife --
for clearing my husband.

If there's anything I can
ever do for you,

for your aspirations ...

Right now, councilwoman,

my only aspiration is to find
out who killed these women.

So don't thank me yet.

I'm not done.

How we doing on
the employee list?

It matches the handwriting
sample from Carl Galaz.

It was pretty messy
and overlapping,

but I measured the
stroke depth and ...

I managed
to isolate the layers.

There were seven pages in all,
dating back week by week.

We get to the fifth week,
he writes a to-do list.

"Buy gloves, clean gun,
disposable cell phone."

To-do list.

He's not the first to do that,

but it doesn't confirm who
killed Abby Sandoval, does it?

No, but that's why I went
back to the second week,

and "barbecue."

I'm thinking that's
not a lunch order.

And it's not Galaz's
handwriting.

No, it's not.
But guess whose it is.

I got this from
public records.

A city lease drafted by ...

Lorenzo Escalante.

Lorenzo ...

you're about
to lose your lease.

John! I got the results for
your causeway shooter.

It matches across the aboard.
He's going away.

You got that right.

Patrol picked him up already.

I thought you needed
ballistics to file on him.

We got ballistics.

He shot someone else
after we cut him loose.

I thought you were
going to watch him.

We did.

He got into a beef with
a street-level dealer;

grabbed his gun ...

and put two rounds in him before
our guys could get out of the car.

God, I am so sorry.

Hey, one lowlife
pops another.

The streets are safer for it.

Just be glad it wasn't a taxpayer,
for you and Horatio's sake.

Oh, no, that release
was my call.

He didn't have anything
to do with it.

Listen, I know you
look up to the guy ...

Sure, I do.

I'm just saying,

it's a hell of a lonely
road he's walking.

Well, that's why
I'm walking it with him.

I don't know what we
think we're going to find.

We went over the Escalante
place about eight months ago.

Canine units,
metal detectors -- the works.

Now, there's nothing inside.

No hidden safes inside,

and there's nothing
buried in this backyard.

Did you check
the barbecue?

Seven across ...

three down.

Golden talon ...

just like the one we
took out of Abby Sandoval.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Lock that elbow,
Lorenzo.

Well, we'll have to talk to
the membership committee.

They're letting anyone
in these days.

Speaking of which ...

tell him what he's won, Adelle.

It's a new kind of membership:

Gated estate, private room,
high security.

And here's the best part:

It's for life.

Mercedes ...

Call the lawyer.
This is harassment.

Take him.

You can't do this.

You can't do this.
Mercedes ...

Mercedes.

Mercedes ...

Que pasas chica.

Mercedes!
Mercedes!

Ayuda-me.
I'll have your jobs for this.

You want to take a walk?

So what does Carl get?
A pardon in four years,

after you take residency in the
governor's mansion in Tallahassee?

Be very careful,
Lieutenant Caine.

False accusations
can ruin a career.

I'd hate for that
career to be yours.

Councilwoman ...

that is a blade that
cuts both ways.

Councilwoman ...
care to comment,

Mrs. Escalante?

Mrs. Escalante, how do
you respond to this?

Your public awaits you.

Councilwoman Escalante,
do you think he did it?

How will this affect
your reelection campaign?

Councilwoman, do you
have any comment?

This is a tragedy.

It has affected
my family deeply.

I will persevere ...

as I always have.

Knowing that,

my first responsibility is to the
good people of this community.

Hi.
Hi.

Are you ...

hungry for some
ropa vieja?

I already ate.

How about dessert?

Finished that too.

You should've called.

You're right.
