All language subtitles for CSI Miami - 5x05 - Death Eminent.en

Suffered eight stab wounds.

I put the time of death...

about four days ago.

Don't tell me this
is your first bloater.

It's my third.

And it just reinforces
the fact that we are...

we're all meat.

We're also bacteria farms, Ryan.

Right after we die, autolysis begins.

Yeah, self-digestion.

That's right.

Our bodies literally begin
to eat themselves, inside out.

When bacteria feed,
they produce methane gas,

which builds up.

And which causes the bloating.

Wait a second.

You are not going to pop
that body in here, are you ?

If I don't, Mr Man is going
to blow in my nice, clean van.

You want to clean that up ?

No, please, no.

Well...

All right then.

Horatio.

Who called it in, Frank ?

That guy over there.

Lives two doors down. Dog hit on the
smell, started acting a little crazy.

He came over to check it out.

Man stabbed to death four days ago
in an empty home, but no one notices.

First murder on the books
in this part of town.

Not what you bargain for when you
buy your chunk of the American dream.

And then your dream becomes a nightmare.

So i asked almost two weeks ago.

Owners took off for Texas.

They got an alibi.

Driver's test.

So who purchased the house, Frank ?

Well, it's not who, Horatio, it's what.

Some company called Apias Conglomerate.

It's going to take some time
to check out who's behind it.

Someone knew this
house was empty, Frank.

I hear you got a popper.

Biohazards.

That's major OT for us.

Really nice way with words, Nick.

You know, I got an extra pair of
overalls in the back of the van here.

In case you want to get dirty.

What did you find ?

Multiple stab wounds, no murder weapon.

Blood spatter indicates that
he was murdered where he fell.

I don't see any signs of forced
entry, so how did he get in here ?

That's a good question.

The house has been empty since
the Apias Conglomerate took over.

Empty house seems like an
odd place to do business.

Why don't you check out that briefcase.

Yep, somebody wanted whatever
was in this briefcase.

You know, it's hard to know what we're looking for
when we don't know what was missing in the first place.

Well, there's a PDA charger, no PDA.

I guess he had one of those.

He also had a big-time job.

Got an ID on the victim.
It's Chad Bridges.

City Councilman Bridges ?

Yeah, I didn't recognize
him through the decomp.

I wonder if whatever was on
his PDA was worth killing over.

There were no workable prints on the
briefcase.I hope you he better luck.

He did quite a number on that lock, too.

I'm hoping he sloughed off just
enough of himself to get a profile.

You got him.

Gary Logan.

In the system for B&E petty theft.

Oh, well, wait a minute.
Would you look at that address ?

It's right next
door to the crime scene.

Looks like our petty thief
just escalated to murder.

Mr. Logan?

I'm clearing leather.

I still haven't qualified,
but backup's on its way.

Don't move.

Miami-Dade PD.

Got a nice boat out front, Mr
Logan. Are you leaving town ?

I'm moving.

Boat's cheaper than a rental truck.

I'd move, too, if there
was a murder next door.

What do you know about that ?

Nothing.

We found your DNA all
over the man's briefcase.

I didn't kill him, okay ? I
just took some of his stuff.

Look, I happened to
be going by his house,

I looked in, saw that the guy was
dead and I figured, what the hell,

I was going to help myself.

Wasn't like he was going to miss
it. That guy was already dead.

Did you decide to bury the councilman's
body, but we got to it first ?

I see a little yard around here.

What are you digging up ?

A pipe burst, all
right? I had to fix it.

It's a milky substance. It's almost...

... like wax.

It's adipocere.

Soap formed from decomposed human fat.

Exactly.

It usually takes months to form,
and based on the seepage in here,

I would say there's no
way it's from our victim.

Well, if this grave wasn't
dug for our councilman, then...

..who would Gary Logan have buried here ?

That's the million-dollar question.

So, Alexx, what'd you find
out about the councilman ?

The wound tracts are shallow.
The cuts almost seem...

tentative.

I don't think you can
be tentative eight times.

Or he was stabbed with a short blade.

Kitchen knife, maybe ?

And one other thing, Ryan.

Once our bloater regaid his fighting
weight, I was able to see this.

- Is that a bite mark ?
- Sure is.

And there's bruising, which
means he got it antemortem.

It's on the wrist.

Probably defending
himself from the killer.

Only if the killer was of
the four-legged variety.

Human bites cause crush
injuries. Dull teeth grind.

But canine teeth ?

They lacerate.

The guy who found the body had a dog.

Oh.

Oh, thank you, Officer.

You're welcome, uh...

..., Mrs. Wells. I'm here to talk to
your husband about your dog. Is he home ?

No, I'm sorry; he's at work right
now, but, um, I'd be happy to...

Stop!

Put it back in the house !

Oh, wait a minute.
That's my son. Austin !

You cops don't listen. This
is this guy's stuff. Come on !

You know what ? Stay here.
I'll take care of this.

Put his stuff back in his house.

You ought to be proud of yourselves.

And ladies and gentlemen,
your tax dollars at work here !

And you're not taking my satellite !

Mr. Nash, get down from there.

I grew up on this street.

You think we're going to put
up with this ? Get out of here.

Go home, kid.

Hey, Austin,

do what he says. I don't want
you getting in trouble here.

Hey, Wolfe. PD. What's, uh...

What's going on here ?

Talk to them.

They're making their way down the block,
throwing everybody's stuff out on the front lawn.

I'm trying to evict the owner, but
he refuses to vacate the premises.

Oh, yeah ? Why are you
trying to evict him ?

Eminent domain.

Eminent domain ?

Those are fancy words for when
the government takes your stuff

whenever they want, aren't they ?

Look, man, I'm just following orders.

Isn't there a way that you could
follow them a little more, um...

respectfully ?

Stash of Cuban cigars right here.

Guy's lucky I don't arrest his ass...

Officer Wolfe.

They're forcing
us to sell our home.

- The whole neighborhood.
- hey !

let me look into this and
see if I can do something.

It's already being done.

H, it's Wolfe.

Yeah, Daniel Wells is at work.
I'm gonna swing by and pick him up.

Listen, I was able to dig up some
more information on Cobalt Drive.

And eminent domain.

That's right. In the
past, the city was able

to force land owners to sell their
property if it was for public use.

Highways, railroads, schools.

But that's changed, hasn't it, Eric ?

Yeah, the US Supreme Court ruled that
state and local governments can seize homes

and, uh, sell them for
private development.

Catering to big business.

Now, our governor is against the ruling.

There's a law being written
to change that here in Florida.

So, the Apias Conglomerate is
purchasing properties on Cobalt Drive.

And the company's run
by a Mr. William Preston.

William Preston ?

The biggest developer in the city, Eric.

Where did our councilman stand on it ?

It's hard to say. He was the swing vote.

Did your dog bite the councilman ?

My dog ?

Yeah. He was bitten before he died.

We can run an odontology sample
for comparison if you'd like.

Couple of days ago.

It was his fault.

He was trespassing in my backyard.

Hey, what do you think you're doing ?

Just looking around the property.
I knocked. No one answered.

Yeah, well, you can't just
barge onto my property.

Said he wanted to
take some measurements.

Measurements for what ?

Didn't ask. Didn't care. Just
wanted the guy off my property.

So, you got violent ?

I mean, you had plenty
of reason to get angry.

Are you kidding me ?

For what these people are
doing, they deserve to die.

That's an interesting choice of words.

Look, I'm not going to
grieve over the guy's death,

but I had nothing to do with his murder.

I guess we'll see about that.

William Preston.

You must be Lieutenant Caine.

I was told you were looking for me.

I'm interested, Mr. Preston.
Your plans for Cobalt Drive.

Well, you name it.

That is prime waterfront property.

I'm building a luxury hotel,

a spa, three restaurants.

All of Miami will gain.

Yes, by displacing hardworking people.

I'm doing them a favor.

The neighborhood's
not what it used to be.

Crime rate's tripled
the last year alone.

Vandalism, robberies, the recent murder.

If an area is blighted,

the city has no choice
but to rectify the problem.

A blight that took place
after you became interested.

In my career, I've often
benefited from luck ...

...and good timing.

Me, too.

I got your call.
What's going on, Austin ?

My parents aren't even
home, and they're trying to evict us.

Wolfe, tell your buddy
he's working my last nerve.

You're gonna have to wait
until after the hearing.

Aren't they entitled to a hearing ?

Talk to the judge.

Yeah, an Order of Possession.

Signed and sealed. They got to vacate.

The county is taking this land.

Look, you don't know which way
this hearing is going to go...

Doesn't matter.
Hearing's just an appeal.

Judgment was issued; money
turned over to the court.

We're taking the house.

Yeah, but the hearing could
go in their favor, you know ?

Done 100 of these things,
Wolfe. They only go one way.

Listen, man, I'm asking you as a favor.

Please give this family a break.

I'm at the tail end of a double shift.

I'm all out of breaks.

That's it. We're taking it.

what the hell are you doing ?

Breathe too many fumes
in the lab, Wolfe ?

You just earned yourself a complaint.

Tape it to the door yourself.

Hey.

It was great to hear
from you again, Ryan.

Yeah, listen, I wish I had
time for small-talk, Erica,

but I need some information.

A while back, you did a three-part
series on eminent domain.

So, you still check out my work ?

As long as I'm not in it.

What do you need to know ?

Chad Bridges was murdered.

The councilman ? Oh, my God.

Yeah, and word is he was the swing vote
behind a development on Cobalt Drive.

Well, Bridges was good at
playing the middle,but...

.. my sources said he was against it.

That gives Preston motive.

And stop salivating, 'cause
I'm gonna give you the story.

- I need you to find something out for me.
- Name it.

I need to know where this
hearing is going to take place.

The city posts hearing notices
where people can't find them.

Buried in a government Web page,
or tacked to a telephone pole.

I can't believe that
goes on in our country.

Capitalism opens a lot of doors.

Yeah, well, tell that to the people who
are being screwed out of their houses.

I'll ask around, and get
back to you as soon as I can.

Thank you, Erica.

Did you page me ? I'm

... sort of running with
something, but, um, what's up ?

Yeah, well,

slow down for a second. Horatio
asked me to pull some old evidence.

Thought it might lead back
to your eminent domain murder.

Okay. What is it ?

Well, there were ten reports of vandalism
on Cobalt Drive in the last year,

and just three of them
left any evidence behind.

We never ran 'em before ?

They were just property crimes.

We didn't think anything of it,

but, uh, let's hope it
leads to something bigger.

You got anything workable ?

No, not from any of these,

but I'm about to check out this
envelope here from a vandalized car.

You got any prints ?

No ridge detail. Just smudges.

That's all right. Smudges might not
tell us who the person is, but...

... maybe they'll tell us what they do.

Can't say I ever swabbed
a fingerprint before.

Well, it's possible to find trace
elements in skin secretions. Uh...

..anything the person touches
frequently can be left behind :

nicotine, cologne, food.

Shot in the dark, but it's worth a try.

Got something.

Tobacco.

What kind ?

Acid profile says it's a Cuban cigar.

That's great. Narrows it down to
about half the people on Calle Ocho.

I'm thinking of a different street.

It's a stash of
Cuban cigars right here.

Guy's lucky I don't arrest his ass...

Officer Wolfe.

We know you've been
vandalizing Cobalt Drive.

Messing with my own neighborhood ?

You got to be kidding me.

You sure about that, Mr Nash ?

'Cause the more I look into this,

the more charges I'm
going to file against you.

Why does it matter anyway ?
They're tearing the block down.

Why does it matter !

You caused the crime rate to
rise. You blighted the area.

You got the city to condemn
the properties, didn't you ?

What did you get out of this ?

50 grand.

Yeah.

City's stiffing me on the house,
may as well get something, right ?

Who made you the offer ?

No.

No way.I'm not saying anything.

- Hey.
- No.

You don't tell me, I got
another place for you to live.

Lieutenant,

... what is this about ?

Mr. Preston, you hired Timothy
Nash to vandalize Cobalt Drive.

Desperate people will
say desperate things.

Well, your pockets weren't deep enough
to reel in the councilman, were they ?

Anyone can be persuaded, Lieutenant.

This city needs my hotel,
and I'm going to build it.

- Hey, Preston! * I
think we have a visitor.

Do I have your attention now ?

Stay here.

You've gotten everybody's
attention, friend.

What's your name ?

Ethan Danbury. I live on Cobalt Drive.

Ethan, you got a family ?

It doesn't matter.

It does, Ethan.

It does. It matters to them.

Listen to me.

That man is destroying what
I've worked my whole life for.

You don't know what it's
like to lose everything.

Ethan... Ethan, I do.

I've lost everything, Ethan.

But what I know is that

if you let this man
destroy you today,

you'll give him a satisfaction
he doesn't deserve,

and I'm asking you
not to do that.

Ethan. Ethan,

I want you to let me
worry about this, okay?

Go ahead.

You see this?

Now do you see what
I'm up against here?

I want police
protection.

You'll probably get it,
Mr. Preston.

Whose get a protection from me.

Lieutenant Caine?

You again.

I was very sorry to hear about
what happened to your wife.

Is this job, Caine ?

Our loved ones seem to always
get hurt far worse than we do.

Now why,

why would a criminal judge

preside over an
eminent domain case?

I was assigned to it.

With all the backlog in civil,
we just want to make sure

that these cases
were treated fairly.

Undervaluing people's homes.

The City Council condemned
those people's neighborhood.

I set the price at whatever
the market would allow.

Forgive me, Your
Honor, but I think

that you're benefiting
from this.

You know what
this is really about?

Your frustration at not being
able to solve that murder case

that you tried to hang
on me a few years ago.

The murder, Your Honor,
that you committed.

Oh, come on Lieutenant...

Caine, that case was dismissed
on a technicality.

Ancient history, Lieutenant.

I choose to forget
about the past.

The past, Your Honor,
is my specialty.

Hey.

Did you get anything
on the adipocere

from a shallow grave?

I got enough
for a profile.

- What about CODIS?
- Got a match.

Missing Persons.

Marta Argenta.
Yeah.

I ran her DNA against a sample
submitted 11 months ago,

right after
she disappeared.

It's still an open case.

Not for long.

I always wondered when
this call would come.

I'm so sorry
for your loss.

Marta was a great kid.

Not that we didn't
have our problems.

Where was the last
place you saw Marta?

My house.

We had a fight,
and she took off.

Her biological parents
were never in her life,

and she began resenting it.

Resenting me.

I'm so sorry.
I must be mistaken.

But I thought
that you were...

I'm actually her uncle.

My sister was
only 17 at the time

and couldn't handle it...
I, uh...

I adopted Marta right
after she was born.

You always expect to pick out
a crib for your baby.

But never a coffin.

You have her body?

No.

Then how do you know
for sure that it...

I promise you

that you are going to be able
to put Marta to rest.

Be back in one minute.

Frank, I need that warrant
on Logan ASAP.

House, boat,
everything you can get.

So Tripp just ran histories

on the grave digger
and Marta Argenta,

but he couldn't find a single
connection between them.

All right, well, look,
if there's a connection

it's going to be here
on Logan's boat.

Yeah

Like this.

There's only one reason
to have cinderblocks on a boat,

- and that's to weigh something down.
- Yeah, check this out.

Looks like more adipocere.

So that means she had to been
on this boat at some point.

Or she never left.

Look, there's more adipocere
here on this suitcase.

No.

Why did he take her
out of that hole?

I don't know.

But, hopefully,
this will give us enough

to prove Logan's a murderer.

I'll get her
to Alexx and, uh,

and she can tell us.

All right.

I had to boil her bones
to get to her story.

Didn't have a good ending.

Poor girl experienced
a lot of trauma.

So Marta Argenta
was beaten to death.

Argenta?

Interesting.

When I measured
her cranial vault,

I classified her ancestry
as African American.

Well, her mother was Mexican.

Then her father
certainly wasn't.

Based on her injuries,

it appears as if the killing
blow was to Marta's skull.

Any tool marks?

None from the skull.

But there are
plenty other places.

The marks left some
unique characteristics.

You mind if I cast this?

You sure do like your
tools, don't you?

I make my living with them.

And your killing, so it seems.

We found that pry-bar
on your boat.

So?

So we have a few
tools of our own.

We were able to match the marks

on Marta Argenta's bones
to your pry-bar.

Anyone could have thrown
that thing in my junk.

Boat's wide open.

See, I don't think you get it.

When you put it all together,
we know that you killed Marta.

You know what?

If this girl was killed
with that bar,

bet it only took one hit.

First one probably cracked
her skull like a melon.

Whoever did this,

I bet they just kept on going.

Because it felt good.

Why do you think
this "someone" did it?

Got a deal for me?

No.

I'd like my phone call now.

Thank you.

H, can I just
say something first?

Please.

I know I crossed the line
when I shoved Biggs,

and I'm going to take

whatever IAB is going
to dish out at me,

but I got some
unfinished business here.

Does it have to do with
the Wells family?

Yeah.

I told that kid I was going
to show up at his hearing.

But the other reason
I want to go there is

'cause every single suspect in
this case is going to be there.

Mr. Wolfe, you have
to be careful

that you're not creating
a conflict of interest.

I will.

So am I in deep
with IAB?

Ryan, I've talked
to Deputy Biggs.

He's agreed to drop
the complaint,

but I need something
from you.

I know.

No more blowups.

Mr. Wolfe, I may not be able
to help you next time.

Hey, you came.

And thanks for letting us
know where the hearing is.

Well, I told you
I would, didn't I?

Did you get in trouble?

For what happened at the house?

You could say that.

That sucks.

Yeah.

50 cents on the dollar.

You call that fair market value?

Hey, don't blame me.

Court puts the value
on property in eminent domain.

Yeah, well, how are my family and
I supposed to find a new place to live

with half the money?

You're lucky
you're getting that much.

You should have taken
better care of the property.

You punk.
Hey.

Relax, man, relax.

Honey, don't make it worse.
Let's go inside.

Save it for the
hearing, Wells.

Save it for the hearing.

Relax.

Hey.

I understand you've closed the missing girls murder.

Well I know the grave digger did out.

But you're still bothered by on you.

I am.

I don't know why Logan want hold onto murder's
body if he's likely downdraft the bow.

Is only one reason to keep
that body and it's leverage.

Everyone must getting paid half price for
her house except for Logan he got full price.

Precisely, so he was hired by someone
had real development to murder that girl.

Ok.

So we're back to who?

Going back to Marta's DNA.

Which samples
should I run it against?

Against the sample
that we already have.

Nick, I've got to go, because I'm here
with the councilman's family right now.

Really?
Mm-hmm

I don't see anybody.

Nice try, though.

What do you want?

Do you remember that time

that you forgot your
wedding ring in that elevator?

Come on.
You remember.

You were getting so crazy.

Your hand kept getting
caught in that railing...

Stop, uh... Nick.

It's not the only time
you forgot a wedding ring.

- Where'd you find that?
- The crime scene.

No, 'cause we went over
the entire place.

Not after the body popped.

If you find something
at a crime scene,

you're supposed
to notify someone.

I just did.

I'm gonna get
this to Trace.

Hey, Nat... Nat.

I still have
your wedding ring.

When you walked out.

If you want it back.

So the question is:
Whose ring is it?

I was hoping you could tell me.

The initials on
here are "J.W."

Does that match up

with anyone on the block?

That's Julie Wells.

That's Austin's mother.

I know, I'm so stupid.

I don't know where I lost it.

Well, we found your ring,
Mrs. Wells.

Right next to
Councilman Bridges' body.

Please, don't tell my husband.

He wouldn't understand.

Killing a man?

I wouldn't understand, either.

No, no.

I-I mean, I just...

I just tried to sleep with him.

He seemed like
the kind of guy who...

I thought I could work out
some kind of arrangement

so he'd leave us alone.

So you had him meet you
in the empty house.

I felt so guilty.

I thought if
I took off my ring...

You didn't go through with it?

I tried to explain.

He got so mad.

Way to present
your case.

Go home.

While you still have one.

- Please.
- Get out of here!

Okay, when did all this happen?

Four days ago.

Same day he was murdered.

Do you really believe that I
could kill a man twice my size?

Stabbings were very shallow.

That's indicative
of a female assailant.

I don't even know
where I'd get a knife.

Grab one from
my silverware drawer?

Well, that's funny.

Funny that you would
mention a kitchen knife.

Yeah.

Kitchen knife could have
definitely made those tears.

Yeah.

Hey, come here and take a look
at the councilman's tie.

That's no accidental contact.

No.

I think the killer wiped
the murder weapon off

on the back of the tie.

Small knife.

Yeah, but it's not
a kitchen knife.

You see that void there?

That's a divot where
you pull out the blade.

Killer used a pocketknife.

Well, that's not usually
something women carry.

No, but teenage boy would.

You can't make me.

Yeah, I can.

Empty your pockets.

I was never near that guy.

Let the knife prove it.

Empty your pockets, Austin.

Come on. Empty your pockets.

What does that mean?

It means you killed
Councilman Bridges.

But... but he was
taking everything.

The neighborhood
I grew up in, my house.

And then he took my mom.

He wouldn't stop taking things.

Austin, your mom

and the councilman...

nothing happened.

She didn't go
through with it.

All you saw was your mom
running away down the street.

So all this time,
you were just trying

to make me feel sorry
for you, is that it?

Don't act all hurt.

You guys make us live
by these laws, but you don't.

I saw you shove that cop.
Nothing happened.

You change them whenever you
want something you can't have.

What's wrong?
You look concerned.

That's 'cause I am.

I ran Marta
Argenta's DNA

from that missing
girl from that case.

Case Horatio was talking about?

Yeah.

It's a familial match
to the suspect in that case.

Really?

And look at whose name
is on the sample.

Marta Argenta is your daughter,
Your Honor.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant.

Name doesn't ring a bell.

Turns out that
Marta's mother Carmen

came through your courtroom

and then visited you
in these very chambers.

Now, Caine,
where'd you dig that up?

Gary Logan's backyard,
Your Honor.

So that's what happened
to that girl, huh?

She did call a few times, yes.

Claimed she was my daughter.

But why should I believe
a teenage runaway?

The same reason
you had Gary kill her.

All right, Caine, that's enough.

I've had enough of
your accusations.

You get out of my chambers.

I hate to inform you,
Your Honor,

but these are no longer
your chambers.

You know there's no way you're
gonna prove all this in court.

Seems that Mr. Logan
held onto Marta's bones

for just such an occasion.

So, you see, I can.

Caine, you ought to know
better than that.

You can't touch me.

Your Honor, I don't have

the slightest desire to.

You are under arrest.

Officers.

Don't think this
is over, Caine.

I got the best legal mind
there is.

You're gonna need it.

Lieutenant.

Mr. Wells.

I can't say
it's good to see you.

Mr. Wells, I
wanted you, uh,

I wanted you to
hear firsthand

that your home is
still your home.

Yeah.

At the cost of my son.

Mr. Wells,
you still have your son.

And he needs you
more than ever now.
