THACKER:
DOA is Michael Starling.

Bike messenger
for Speedball Express.

Several unpaid summonses
for reckless bicycle riding,

and one prior for assaulting
a cab driver.

That's still a crime
in New York?

Hey, these guys
consider a summons

a badge of honor.

Okay, we've got a stab wound
to the upper right thigh.

This guy was training...
He's wearing one of those

high tech heart monitors.

Do you have any witnesses?

There was a crowd of people
standing on the corner

waiting for the light to change,

and the victim comes
barreling towards them...

He wasn't stabbed here,

so this is
our secondary crime scene.

Who knows where
this guy was stabbed.

Somewhere between Wall Street
and right here.

What?

Delivery manifest.

Last drop, 200 Wall Street.

Next stop, 33rd and 8th.

He's going to be a little late.

♪ Out here in the fields ♪

♪ I get my back into my living ♪

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

♪ Yeah. ♪

Watch your back.

Can I help you with something?

Yeah, who's in charge
here, you know?

In the back.
Hang on, I'll show you.

Thanks.

So what you,
an inspector
or something?

Yeah, something like that.
NYPD crime lab.

That's your man.

See you, copper.

She could handle
my package any day.

Am I right or am I right?

Maybe not.

Yeah, you know Michael Starling?

Yeah, what'd he do now?

He died.

Stabbed today
while making a delivery.

What happened to his packages?

You're all bent
out of shape about it, huh?

Is there anything
you can tell me

about him?

What's there to tell?
He took things from A to B...

Well, not today, he didn't.

What do you want from me?
I don't know.

Maybe if he had
a problem with anyone?

Somebody, uh,

maybe another messenger
gunning for his route?

I don't know what the hell
you're talkin' about.

Come on, I know how
this business works.

The faster you are,
the better your route.

The better your route,
the more cash you make.

Hey, look, I don't know nothin'
about no stabbin', all right?

I gotta hire a new guy now,

and-and you're lookin'
to take down one more?

I'm lookin' for the truth.

You don't seem so eager
to deliver.

Funny. Good pun.

Thanks for nothing, eh?

ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen,

due to circumstances
beyond our control,

we regret to announce

that today's events
have been suspended.

Elaine Curtis,
elite dog handler.

Specialized in
"large sporting dogs."

"Dog handler"?

Yeah, it's someone
who shows other
people's dogs.

Can be a full-
service commitment.

You're the dog's doctor,
nutritionist, personal valet...

For people who want
to leave the dirty
work to professionals.

Oh, I'm all for that.

Where's the victim's dog?

Animal control.

She still had it on a leash,
and it was going crazy.

They tranquilized it,
took it to the pound.

Any witnesses?
FLACK:
None.

When the dogs are showing,
this grooming area

completely empties out.

The show vet, Ross Howell,

he found the body.

Detective Mac Taylor,
NYPD Crime Lab.

You found the body?

Uh, yes, I did.

Anything you'd like
to add to that?

Uh, well, I came
out of my, uh, clinic,

and I found her lying there.

You hear anything?

Uh, no, nothing at all.

You touch her?
Try to revive her?

No. It was clear
she was deceased.

Take Maxwell back
to the Saint Regis.

He can have anything
from room service

except the shrimp tray.

And don't let him know

his event's been suspended.

You remember what
happened last time.

Yes, ma'am.

Sorry, ma'am.

It's imperative

that I speak to the doctor.

Dr. Howell,

you assured me that
Maxwell's medication
would be ready.

Do you have it?

If it's an emergency...

Well, of course
it's an emergency.

These animals are athletes.

Their metabolisms are
calibrated to the enth degree.

Any disruption
of medication schedules can be

disastrous to their performance.

Mrs. Soon,
as I told you,

this medication
is not indicated...

Thank you, Doctor.

I believe I know what's
best for my dog.

Ma'am, we have a
crime scene here.

If you could...

Did you know

it's harder to get
into veterinary school

than med school?

And here I am.

Every one of these dogs

has at least nine
or ten medications in them.

Where's the victim's
grooming station?

Over there.

He says he didn't hear anything.

Mac, I found the twin
to our murder weapon.

We got an owner for this?

Yoo-hoo, that belongs to me.

Well, I'm-I'm sorry,

we're going to have
to hang onto this, Miss...

Millie Hanford.
And it's Missus.

This is terribly disruptive.

People who do this sort of thing
don't usually come

to dog shows.

Could I just have my bag?

We're going to have
to hang onto that as well.

You only have one of my needles.

Has someone stolen
my other knitting needle?

( gasps)

Apparently, riding
a bike in New York

is as dangerous as fighting
with Mike Tyson.

Well, playing
chicken with buses
and cabs'll do that.

Multiple healed fractures,
collar bone...

couple of ribs,

seven out of ten fingers.

Three more, and
he gets a free sub.

Here's the only one
that's fresh.

Hairline fracture to the pelvis.

Consistent with where
the victim was stabbed.

Used a lot of force.

What's this?

I was waiting for you.

Your killer left part
of the murder weapon behind.

Looks like half a pair
of scissors from a pocket knife.

Transected
the external iliac artery.

Lost a lot of blood.

He kept riding
after he was stabbed?

It's unclear if he was riding
when he was stabbed.

If he was, the adrenaline

probably kept him going
for a while.

Ride like the wind.

Thank you.

She wasn't well liked.

You saw her.

She shopped

for her show wardrobe
in Milan... Italy.

The focus is supposed
to be on the dog.

There was a judge

in Cincinnati who developed
an infatuation.

We circulated
an anonymous petition,

and he was forced
to recuse himself.

It was a terrible scandal.

Would anyone have disliked
Ms. Curtis enough to kill her?

Detective, you seem
like a nice man,

but obviously, you don't know

the first thing
about animal people.

We wouldn't hurt a soul.

Mrs. Hanford,
can you explain

what your knitting
needles were doing

in the grooming area?

Hercule.

I knit him things

like his blanket.

It has a calming effect
on both of us.

Doesn't it, Hercule?

( snarls, then barks)

Well, thank you
for letting me sit.

Hold him for a minute.

Enough, Hercule.

( barks)

Thank you.

Mac?

Come check this out.

I LCV'd the floor.

Paw prints leading away,

so they couldn't have been
the owner's dog.

A second dog?

We have a witness.

( dog barking)

Where do we find him?

Our vic was stabbed
in the right leg, yes?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, looks like our killer
left more than just a piece

of the murder weapon behind.

I've got blood
on the left pedal.

Whoever stabbed our victim

also transferred his blood
onto the bike.

I've got a red mist here,

but it's too fine
to be blood spatter.

And also a gray,
granular compound

on the back of the jacket.

Yeah, I have the same compound
on the bike.

Let's see what we got.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

Two gray fibers
on the knife are wool.

I'm going to take
this blood sample down to DNA,

see if I can't get a hit
off the second bleeder.

What about the jacket?

Red paint and concrete.

Well, that could tell us
where he's been,

help narrow down
the primary crime scene.

I'm thinking we can
track the vic's path

using this heart rate monitor.

Transmitter's worn
around the chest,

picks up signals from the heart.

It's interpreted wirelessly
through this wristwatch.

Which records distance,
speed and heart rate.

Thinking maybe we can figure out

where he was riding
with this thing.

Hook it up.

Hawkes?

( loud bang)

One of the trainees

left the door open last weekend.

A couple of pipes iced over.

Places a horrible burden

on the whole system.

We run the risk of
blowing a compressor.

But you're here
about your dog show DOA.

Cause of death:
ruptured aorta.

Internal hemorrhaging, shock.

Dead in a matter of minutes.

That's some savage needlework.

Yeah. She was unlucky.

The needle could've
easily passed straight through

without doing
any serious damage,

but the point caught
the aorta just right...

and the dam burst.

Other than

the leash marks,

no injuries on her hands.

Suggests she didn't try
to break her fall.

But there was

major disturbance at the scene.

I did find materials

under her nails.

Looked like skin.

I sent it over to DNA.

So she could've been attacked.

No defense wounds,
no torn clothing,

no recent contusions.

Now, I did find foreign hairs
under her clothing.

And this...

was in her mouth.

Looks like latex.

I'll take a look at
it. Anything else?

I saved the best for last.

You always do.

When I first saw this, I thought

it might have been a postmortem

dog bite.

Those are no canine's canines.

Uh-uh.

We know our victim's last
delivery was made right here.

Okay, and then he ends up dead

on the corner
of Hudson and Jane,

which is consistent
with our 4.8 miles

recorded on the wristwatch.

His heart rate indicates

that he was riding
a continuous path,

which means that he was riding

when he was stabbed.

All right, let's highlight

all possible routes

that he took to get
from point A to point DOA.

BONASERA:
Whew!

We have to narrow that down.

MESSER:
All right.

Well, look here.

His heart rate goes up
roughly a mile in.

Speed drops, so it looks

like he's pumping pretty hard.

Show me elevation gradients
on all routes.

Now eliminate all routes
without an incline at mile 1.2.

( beeps)

All right,
his heart rate plateaus.

The next mile or so,

no change in speed.

He was pedaling a straightaway.

Eliminate all the routes

that have him weaving
in and out of side streets.

Okay. What do you make of this?

He slows down briefly,
heart rate drops,

then accelerates hard.

He's coasting
into a turn, maybe.

And a couple more turns,

into a downhill
at roughly mile 1.8.

And boom...

That's the route he took.

Now we just got to figure out
where he was stabbed.

Hold on. See this?

Right here.

There was a spike
in his heart rate

at mile 2.1.

Something made his heart jump.

Somewhere between

Clarkson and Walker.

Medullary index value
of the hair on our DOA

is more than 50%.

The index in human hair
is less than 30.

Well, she was a dog person.

It makes sense that she'd have
animal hair all over her.

One reason why
I can't own a dog.

Did you I.D. our dog witness?

Pad size

and gait length

make a pretty reliable
I.D. possible.

I'd say it's
some kind of spaniel

or a small hunting dog.

It's time for a lineup.

MAN:
This is outrageous

and cruel.

Do you have any idea
of the stress

this is placing
on these animals?

I have already spoken
to my attorney,

and we will be disputing

any unfavorable results
of the competition.

Can you tell us what
you're looking for, at least?

If you'll run your dogs, please.

Can't you see the effect
this is having?

Look at my dog.

He's almost in tears.

Okay, place your dogs
on the podium

one at a time, please.

It's going to be all right,
Gwyneth.

Do you realize my dog feels this
as a rejection?

It's appalling.

Have you no shame, sir?

Didn't you teach your dog
to wash his hands?

Elaine and I were involved
for about six months.

That's why your dog's hair
was all over her.

Why didn't you tell us sooner?

I would've been dismissed.

We worked for rival owners,

and we're not supposed
to fraternize.

There have been issues.

Gambling...

Big money.

The dog world's
not the paradise people think.

Do you know anything
about this bite mark?

Oh, my.

Elaine has some, uh...

strange peccadilloes.

( dog barking)

My dog adored her.

So...

he found her and
came to find you.

I was going crazy
trying to find him.

If a dog's found running loose,

it could mean disqualification.

And you didn't notice
the blood on his paws?

No. I swear to you.

Please don't leave town
without notifying

the NYPD.

Of course not.

Tomorrow is the finals.

We're odds on
to be Best in Show.

Frisky little fella.

Friendly.

We know our victim's
heart rate spiked

between these two blocks,

so we can assume
that he was stabbed

somewhere along this path.

I can use the jacket

to provide a
sequential timeline.

What do we have?

We've got the red
paint and cement.

You know what... I think he might
have done some off-roading.

That's a safe bet.

Check that out.

We still have the pictures
of the victim's bike?
Yeah.

Hey, we got a match
on the tires.

Nice. Looks like he took
this turn

and came right through here.

Paint's still fresh.

Hold on, hold on, hold on!

And our victim's speed never
went under 25 miles per hour,

so he was flying through here.

These bike messengers
are out of their minds.

Hey, Danny.

Looks like we may have found
our primary crime scene.

So what is this, like,
a crime scene or something?

Or something.

Nice.

It's the real deal here.

Great.

There's no blood drops leading

up to this point,
so this is where

our victim was stabbed.

Hey, Danny.

Yeah.

Bring me that telescopic magnet,
will you?

Here.

Thanks.

Good for a million and one uses.

♪ ♪

DNA came back
on the blood sample

from the victim's bike pedal.

Tell me we got a hit.

Brett Stokes.

Reference sample came
from a prior assault

on a hansom cab driver.

He threw down
with a horse and buggy guy?

She. She also works
at the same company

as our victim.

I think I might've spoke to her
this morning.

Really? She seem suspicious?

I didn't think anything.

Because she's a girl?

What'd you get on the knife?

Found some oily residue caked
on the tip of the blade.

Got long-chain
and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Could mean some sort
of lotion or something.

I'll work
on the source. And...

Brett Stokes did some
fingernail scraping for us.

Nice. Well, if her DNA's
on the murder weapon,

she'll be delivering mail
at Hudson Correctional.

Mac. Tox results
from Elaine Curtis.

She was on antidepressants.

Phenelzine: one of the monoamine
oxidase inhibitors. MAOIs.

Pretty high dose.

What's this other peak?

BURN:
Clomipramine.

Another antidepressant.

One of the selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors.

SSRIs and MAOIs

taken together would
likely trigger

serotonin syndrome.

Would induce nausea,
disorientation, hypomania.

That's why she was heading
to the medical tent.

( gasping)

Maybe she was overcome
by the symptoms

and fell

onto the needle.

Accidental overdose?

She handled medications
for a living.

Do we buy that she would
make that type of mistake?

Could she have been poisoned?

We're going to find out.

Where's your partner?

Excuse me?

That guy who was here
yesterday. Mr. Crime Lab.

Guess you're stuck with me.

Hmm. Pretty smart

sending a woman... figured I'd

warm up to you?

We'd have a little
Oprah Winfrey heart-to-heart,

I'd tell you who killed Mikey?

Don't expect me
to buy you a car,

but since you're
in the chatty mood,

let's start with that.

It comes with the job.

What about murder?
Is that part of the job, too?

Found your blood

on Mikey's bike.

You're way off base here.

These guys here
are like my family.

We always hurt the ones we love.

What you want to hear?

That I hated Mikey?

I did.

Dispatcher gave me

his route last week,
so jackass slashed my tires.

And you never slashed his?

I wouldn't do that...
out of respect... for the bike.

You still haven't explained

how your blood got
on a dead guy's bike.

All right, listen.

We got into it yesterday,
but not the way you think.

We was racing.

That's the last time I saw him.

When I turned around,
he was gone.

So... am I under arrest?

We're running some tests
on the knife

that was used
to kill Mr. Starling.

If your DNA shows up on it,

I can guarantee you,
you will be under arrest.

( phone ringing)

Bonasera.

All right, Danny,
how does the DNA

from the fingernail scrapings
on the knife

not match Brett Stokes?

She's got motive

tattooed on her forehead.

Hey, don't kill the messenger.

See what I just did there?

Yeah, it's cute.

All right, whose DNA is it?

Theodore Gates.

Convicted seven years ago

on sexual misconduct
with an eight-year-old boy.

And he's out?

Living on Hudson and Walker.

That's one block from where

our victim was stabbed.

Exactly.

You must be a mind reader.

I wish.

I was about to call your office.

I got a full DNA profile
from the skin

underneath your victim's
fingernails.

Nice work.

And... I matched it
to a name in CODIS.

Several priors,
all through the '90s.

Picked up in a couple
of bookmaking stings.

In the last one,
he lost the plot entirely

and assaulted an officer.

Gets him a lifetime
pass to CODIS.

You're a compulsive gambler.

You bet a lot of money
on another dog

in Elaine Curtis' group to win.

No, that's all behind me.

You don't think the NYPD knows
who runs book in this town?

Want me to bring in
the bartender

from the Charlton Lounge?

So I had a slip.

What are you going to do,
tell my sponsor?

We matched DNA found

under Elaine Curtis' fingernails

to samples taken from you.

How'd you get that scratch

on your hand, Doctor?

One of the dogs.

You offered her money
to take a dive.

She blew you off,

so you decided to
poison her instead?

Opportunity,

means, motive, Dr. Howell.

She was one
of those people, you know,

works the angles;
I figured

I could get her on my team.

Works the angles?

You know, like the way
she dressed,

the way she acted.

She was working it.

Someone wears a
nice shirt, and that
makes them a player?

She wasn't interested.

I grabbed her.
That's when she scratched me.

No, I'm not interested.

As a matter of fact...

I'm reporting you
to the Oversight Committee.

Oh, come on, lighten up.

It was just an offer.
What do you care?

Some people like to maintain
their integrity.

Yeah, you're one
of those people?

I'm going to the committee.

Oh, wait a minute.

Let me go.

Ow!

So when she came
to look for you,

crashing and banging

around the grooming area,

you just figured
you'd just let her die?

I wasn't there.

I was at the Charlton.

When I came back and found her,
I pretended I hadn't heard her

so no one would know
I wasn't there.

You don't want me
to check this out

and find out
that you're lying, now.

Oh, do whatever you want.

I became a vet

because I wanted to alleviate
some suffering,

and I end up dealing drugs
to manic-depressive shih tzus.

Hey, sweetie.

Where's your mommy?

Let's go see Mommy.

Come on.

( whistles)

I registered my change

of address
with the proper authorities.

We're not here

for a Megan's Law
visit, Mr. Gates,

although seeing you
within ten feet of a
child is nauseating.

We're here about
Michael Starling.

I'm sorry, am I supposed
to know who that is?

Usually when you stab somebody,

you know the guy's name.

Just common courtesy.

Well, I didn't stab anyone.

What on earth
is he talking about?

Your DNA was found on the knife

that was used
to stab Michael Starling.

I see.

Was it a Swiss Army knife?

Nice job... you got
it on the first try.

Is it necessary that he be here?

Why, what's the matter?
Am I too old for you?

I lost my knife
about a week ago.

God only knows where.

You know, I go fishing

for change in my pocket
and pull it out

and leave it somewhere.

Where were you
yesterday morning?

The Javits Center.

There's a model airplane
convention there until Friday.

I have a brochure
if you'd like to see it.

Did you buy something
while you were there?

Yes. I bought
a special adhesive.

It helps to preserve...

Oh, you just want to know
if I have a receipt, right?

Right.

I think so.

( coins clatter on floor)

Thanks for stopping by.

If you're still here
in five minutes,

it'll be your parole officer

thanking me for stopping by.

I've told you everything I know.

Mrs. Hanford,
take a seat.

You put some of your dog's

depression medication into
Elaine Curtis' water bottle.

Don't be ridiculous.

When you closed the bottle,
one of the hairs from your dog

was sealed
into the screw-on top.

That might have been
from any dog.

The hair was consistent

with that
of a West Highland Terrier.

It could've been anyone.
It could've been weeks ago.

Elaine had a feeding schedule.
She kept very accurate records.

That bottle was empty

until an hour

before the qualifying round.

( sighs)

All right.

It was stupid of me.

I just got so tired of her
wearing those low-cut dresses

when she was meant
to be showing the dog.

Hercule's medication comes in

liquid form.

I put a few drops of it
in Elaine's dog's water.

To slow it down a little,
make it sleepy.

That's all.

But I had nothing to do
with her death.

You had everything to do

with her death, Mrs. Hanford.

I don't understand.

Elaine Curtis

was taking her own medication.

When she ingested
the dog's water...

the reaction between the two
caused her to collapse.

Onto your
