Oh, wow.

What?
No. I...

I don't even want to say it.

I don't want to jinx it.

What are you talking about?

You guys playing
freeze tag again?

Henry seems to be having a,
uh, Beautiful Mindmoment here.

The cycle.

Yeah, I just closed a homicide,

and I think Ray closed an
accidental about an hour ago.

And I logged
a suicide.
Well, there you go--

homicide, suicide,
accidental. Gentlemen...

we here on grave shift,

are one natural death away
from hitting for the cycle.

I can't believe you;
you said it.

So, what's your problem?

A guy's pitching
a perfect game,

you don't say
he's pitching a perfect game.

Do you know how long it's been
since grave hit a cycle?

Four years,
seven months, 13 days,

two hours and ten minutes.

Henry, we're men of science,
not men of superstition.

Oh, my band of brothers,

we will hit the cycle--
of this I am certain.

I am so certain
that I propose a little action.

A little action, huh?

Yeah. Let's do it.A wager to see

which CSI brings in the natural,

and thereby brings
the cycle home.

It's luck of the draw.

You can't predict
who's going to pull a natural.

It's a numbers game--
the more cases you get,

the more chances
you have to win.

And, uh, I'm on a roll,
right now, boys.

I wouldn't bet against me.

Or me.
I got a body, right now,

in autopsy, that's looking
pretty au naturel.

I got a hundred bucks on Nick.

And it's not because
you are the co-shift supervisor.

Thank you. I am also...

in on me for $100.
You know what?

Uh, make it $200.

Like a man...

All right, I'm in.

Yeah, and Hodges,
let Henry be the bank.

What, you don't trust me
with our future earnings?

Come on.

This is so wrong.

You don't just shove dollar
bills into the Holy Grail,

like she's some...
: you know.

That's true, Henry.

But this is Vegas.

Uh, we have a cycle
going on, people!

Anybody else want in?

Go see Henry.

Easy money, Sanders.

It's like picking it up
off the ground.

Yeah, well, don't
hurt yourself.

Oh, come on!

No... Seriously?

Abdomen is distended.

Hard to the touch.

She's not pregnant.

Tumor, maybe?

That would be
a natural.

Maybe the chick's just fat.

Stuffing her face
with Twinkies and chalupas.

Wouldn't be the first.You'll have to
excuse Kevin,

my new assistant--
transfer from L.A.

Just used to
hotter-looking corpses, Doc.

Ah, that's gross.It's pus, Kevin. Beaker.

That is a lot of pus.

And one serious
infection.

Question is, what caused it?

Infection.

That would be
a natural, right?

Would you give the cycle a rest
for a second, please?

Cycle?SANDERS:
It's, uh...

when you get a homicide,
accidental, suicide,

and natural death,
all in the same shift.

Kind of like banging
a white chick, black chick,

Mexican and Asian chick
all in one night, right?

Been there. Oof.

The colon appears punctured.

Did you say she die at her desk?

I did.

People like to chew on office
supplies while they're working.

Swallow them.

So... paper clip.

Accidents happen.

Definitely not
a natural.

Sorry to burst two bubbles.

We have another
call out: 419.

Well, where there is death,
there's hope.

Hey, hey.

Welcome to the apocalypse.

Aeron's Legion.Sweet.Meet DV8Avenger.

Huh! Nice chair.

So, at 4:38 a.m.,
we got a call

from LeftBrain528,
in Vancouver.

He was concerned because
his buddy was AFK

for the past five hours.AFK?

It's "away
from keyboard."

It's a gamer thing.

DV8's real name is Steven Pyles.

Unfortunate name.

You guys smell that?

Check under the blanket.

Um...

Mr. Pyles is wearing a diaper.

Guy's a serious gamer.

No time for
bathroom breaks.

Right.
Didn't want to be AFK.

Well, good luck
with this.

I'm out of here.

Whoo! Sorry we're late
to the party.

Grandma here was driving.

Oh, God, it reeks in here.

This isn't too good
for my hangover.

Have you all met Kevin?
Yeah.

Yeah, we've had
the pleasure.

Possible cardiac flush.KEVIN:
Oh, you think?

Lookit: pepperoni pizza,
hot wings, French fries--

I'm just gonna go out
on a limb here...

and say that, uh,
Moby Dick stroked out.

Congrats.

Got your natural.

Oh, Well, I guess we can all
go home then.

I don't know how you
do things in L.A.,

but in Vegas,
we wait for autopsy.

Yeah, you could do that.

86 degrees-- it's odd.

Based on lividity,

I'd say T.O.D. was
six to eight hours ago.

Body temp should be
higher than that, right?

More like 91 degrees.

Could be the AC,

or the guy just runs cold.

Doesn't rule out a natural.

No, but it also
doesn't rule out a homicide.

I guess we should
get to work.

Sucks.

Gardener found the body.

Homeowners are
on vacation in Europe.

Victim was house-sitting.

We got an I.D.?

Yeah: Benjamin Fowler,
age 39.

Supposedly, the guy just
went through a divorce,

and was just
crashing here.

Come on.

Forced entry.

Yeah, looks like it.

I have a shoe impression here.

Herringbone pattern.

Glass still in the window frame
and on the ground.

Radial fracture,
right angle, rear side.

This window was broken
from the outside in.

Dead bolt still works.

So...

the perp tried to kick

the door open,
it wouldn't budge...

So he breaks a window,

reaches in and unlocks
the dead bolt.

Whoo!

No TV. No tunes.

Somebody got
ripped off.

Victim wanders into a robbery,
gets himself killed.

Straight-up
robbery-homicide.

Works for me.

Now, where the hell
is Super Dave?

Man, I want to get
this one wrapped up;

get back in the game.

So this is DV8Avenger.

From what Sara said,

I'm glad you got
that diaper off.

I had my new
assistant do it.

Kevin.
Mmm.

Well, it's a perfect job
for that guy.

So, uh, you got any C.O.D.
on the gamer?

Well, our victim's gullet
was congested with vomitus.

Undigested food.
Mmm.
What is that?

Pepperoni?
With onions.

Our friend's unhealthy
habits caught up to him.

But it wasn't his heart
that gave out.

What was it?

His stomach.

Our victim experienced
a violent regurgitation.

Generally speaking, when someone
reacts to a choking gag-reflex,

undigested food
will be hurled back up

and be expelled
through the mouth and nose.

In this case,
that didn't happen.

Our victim succumbed

to food being trapped
in the vocal folds.

Asphyxiation.

Kind of like what happened
with Mama Cass,

and choking on
her ham sandwich.
Actually,

the coroner's inquest
found Cass Elliot died

from "fatty myocardial
degeneration, due to obesity."

There was no obstruction.

Well, at least Mama
was a natural.

Ah, yes-- the cycle.

How much is the pot up to now?

It's a couple grand.

Crazy, right?

Mm. How much
you in for?

$200.
On whom?

Nobody. I mean, most people
die of natural causes,

without suspicious circs--
we don't roll on them.

So, I'm betting
that we are not

going to be
hitting for the cycle.

Well, you are a smart lady,

which is why you're
probably asking,

how was our victim unable
to expel the vomitus?

And I have an answer.

These healed contusions
along the tongue

say that our victim appears

to have had a history
of seizures.

Seizures caused by what?

I haven't had a
chance to review

his medical
records yet.

All I know is that a seizure

would've been a major
contributor to his death.

Guess what I found
in DV8's apartment--

carbamazepine.

Anticonvulsant
used to treat epilepsy.

You know, I read a case

about a person diagnosed
with epilepsy

who suffered a seizure
while playing a video game.

You think a video
game killed our vic?

Preexisting condition,

but death brought on
by external circumstances.

You know,
I hate to say it,

but the needle's tipping
from natural to accidental.

So the cycle
takes a backseat,

but it's still
speculation.

I mean, we have
no way of knowing

what happened to DV8
after he went AFK.

Actually, there is.

Serious gamers don't
just wear diapers,

they also record their games.

Like chess players,
they want to review their moves

and learn from
their mistakes.

We did pulls all the hard drives
from his apartment.

I'll look through them,
see if I can find a recording

of our victim's virtual death.

♪ ♪

Yo, dude, what the hell?

There could be biologicals
on that gun.

You just can't put it
into plastic.

Yeah, I don't need a forensics
lesson there, Mr. Wizard.

The serial number's etched off.
I'm going to let it air dry.

I'm not putting it in the bag,
I'm putting it on the bag.

Believe it or not,
I know what I'm doing.

Whatever.

Dr. Langston, I presume.

You're the fella who

crossed swords
with Nate Haskell.

Saw you on
America's Most Wanted.

Cool.

Kevin! Gurney!

Now!

Kevin, do this,
Kevin, do that.

I'm getting sick to my
stomach with your crap.

Hey, don't...

What was that?

I'm sorry.
He's from L.A.

That explains it.

Wrists are bound,
overhand knot.

That cord is
from inside the house.

Restraints are loose.

He probably tried
to set himself free.

Contusions on his face.

What appears to be
a broken nose.

All signs of blunt-force trauma.

That's not what
killed him, though.

It was a single GSW
to the back of the head.

Can't find the exit wound.

It's probably still holding.

More than likely the bullet's
still in his head.

Yeah...

No cash.
It's consistent with robbery.

So Mr. Fowler
interrupts a burglary.

There's a struggle.

The killer punches him,
ties him up.

Then Fowler makes
a break for it.

The killer follows after him,

shootshim
in the back of the head.

What do you think,
new girlfriend?

Personal experience says
it's probably his ex-wife.

He's still wearing
his wedding ring.

Taking a break?

Reliving the last exploits
of DV8Avenger.

Guy kept recordings
of all his games,

including the final two minutes
of the last game he ever played.

Now DV8 was not just
playing Aeron's Legionsolo.

He was playing MMORPG.

English?

Massively multiplayer on line
role-playing game.

Meaning there a lot

of people playing
against him.

That is a lot
of people.

Well, it's Aeron's Legion.

See, we're talking
34th century,

when all of humanity has
been whittled down

to a small but contentious

band of warriors called
the Descendants.

Mm-hmm.

The point is, you've
got all these weapons,

but the only one
that you don't want to use

is the flash-bang.

Excellent distraction,
but takes major points

off your score.Greg...

All right, well, during
DV8's last game,Uh-huh.

one player
pulled a radical move

and just started unloading

with flash-bangs.

54 in just one minute.

A move like that

just deducts points
from your score.

You don't gain a single point.

Unless the point is to give
your opponent a seizure.

A type of attack
like this would do it.

The strobing imagery
in the game

generated
a photosensitive reaction,

which produced impulses

that traveled through
the optic nerve

and into the temporal lobe
of the brain--

frying the circuits, triggering an epileptic seizure.

Who launched the attack?

NinjaAssassin.

So if NinjaAssassin knew
that DV8 was epileptic,

and intentionally
triggered a seizure,

we're looking at
a homicide.

Geeks and freaks,
give it up

for Cyber Bowl 2011!

Aeron's Legion Semi Number One
pits two hot-wired warriors.

First, Las Vegas native,

and future Hall of Gamer,

NinjaAssassin!

Hi-yah!

Game on, gamers!

Whoo! Let's do this!

I think we found
our assassin.

These people need
to get a life.

I think you'd like
video games.

You get to shoot people.

When I was their age,
I was on a real battlefield

with a real weapon
in a real jungle.

I don't need to play war
with my thumbs.

And uploading from
San Juan, Puerto Rico,

The rico suave of gaming,

last year's rookie of
the year, Murd3er-1.

You know what the winner
of this takes home?

100 grand.

100 G's?

Now I want
to shoot someone.

Fire up your controllers.

It's game on, bitches.

Okay, let's go.

Las Vegas police.

Hold on, guys.

Get outta here, man!

Game's over... bitches.

Am I in some kind of trouble?

This isn't about
the Girls Gone Wild

file share, is it?

You, uh, you know this guy,
Ninja?

Oh, man!

Who filleted DV8Avenger?

No wonder he didn't
show up for the semi.

Dude, put that thing away.

So you can toss fake grenades
at a guy,

but you can't stomach seeing
what it did to him?

What are you talking about?

DV8Avenger was playing
against you when he died.

Virtually.

I didn't actually kill him.

I-I mean

I have killed him

on the fields of Crador.

Though, admittedly,
he had the edge.

Hey, real world.

Did DV8 ever mention to you that
he had a medical condition?

He had a lot of conditions.

Yeah, like epilepsy.

Did you know that?

Kind of.

2009, El Paso finals,
I saw DV8 popping pills.

Figured they
were uppers.

Told him I was going
to the judges...

Yeah, and he told you they were
his epilepsy meds.

Kind of.
And you kind of knew

that all the flash-bangs
you threw at him

would trigger a seizure.

Look, I'm an athlete.
I'm a competitor.

I was looking for an edge.

I get it.

100 grand.

You can't die from a seizure.
That's a fact.

I looked it up.
It's on WikiMeds.

I think you're gonna
kind of need a lawyer.

Hey, Doc.I know, I know, you
want a quick C.O.D.

so you can get out
of the pits

and get back
into the race.

It's not just me, man.

I got a lot of people
riding on me.

Yeah, well, for the record,
I am not among them.Oh, yeah?

Well, who'd you put
your money on, Greg?

You might as well just give it
to me right now.

I hold my cards

close to the vest and
my cash even closer.

Yeah, yeah, okay.
What's up with this guy?

I found these fibers
in his chompers.

They match the
restraints on his wrists.

He was probably trying to undo
that knot with his teeth.

Mr. Fowler's X-rays.

Extensive damage

to the cervical vertebrae
and the occipital bone.

You see the beveling?

Inside to out.

So the bullet went out
the back of his head.

We initially thought that
exit wound was an entry wound.

The real entry wound
is in the oral pharynx.

No soot around
the hole,

so he was shot from
at least three feet away.Mouth open.

No!

It's a penetrating wound.

Through and through.

Okay, so the bullet's got
to be back at the house.

Well, if you're lucky,

you might catch a natural
on the way over.

Thanks.

I'm very sorry for
you loss, Mrs. Fowler.

What happened to Ben?

He was house-sitting
for some friends.

There was a break-in.

He was shot.

The house in Seven Hills?
The Alexanders' place?

You know them?

They were friends,
before the divorce.

People choose sides,
you know how that goes.

Yes, I do.

Tell me...

when was the last
time you saw Ben?

Just a couple
of days ago.

He got pulled over
for DUI.

He called me, I bailed him out.

I took him back to the house.

I got to go.

I just poured you
a glass of wine.

Come on, stay, please?

I'm tired. I don't want
to do this anymore.

You won't have to, I promise.

Ah, shoot!

I'm sorry.You know, what, next time,
just call somebody else.

Olivia, please wait.
You're all I got.

I was the last person
in the world that he could call

and I turned my back on him.

Sounds like he was in
a pretty dark place.

He wasn't always.

He lost his
contracting business.

Couldn't find
another job.

Started drinking, gambling.

It got out of hand.

I filed, he left.

I thought when
the Alexanders' took him in

that he'd be okay.

I just wish I could
take back what I said.

I never did stop loving him.

Why didn't you find
the bullet the first time?

We thought it
was still in him.

Are you questioning
my work?

I've got one large
riding on you.

Relax.

It's got to be
in the pool.

Oh, no-- I'm having
a good hair day.

Well, maybe neither one
of us has to get wet.

No!

A little ballistics,
a little case closed,

and then Team Stokes
is on the hunt

for the elusive natural.

Go, Stokes.

A little faith, baby.

Ah, here to lay down
some more action?

Actually, I'm here for
my tox results.

Right. Found sleeping pills
in your gamer's bloodstream--

Zolpidem.

High therapeutic levels.

A gamer on Zolpidem?!

That's like a sumo
wrestler on diet pills.

Yeah. Listen,
thanks to you guys,

I'm really busy here.

The point is, your victim was
staring at the inside

of his eyelids when those
flash-bangs were going off.

So NinjaAssassin's off the hook.

So, why would a hardcore gamer
pound sedatives

the night before the big game?

Maybe someone spiked
his joystick.

Can you solve this
someplace else?

What about his
stomach contents?

Yeah, it just went
to the top of my stack.

I'll have it in twenties.

Or 20 minutes.

Forget it.

I just got flowers from one
of the day shift guys.

Does he know
you're married?

Yeah.

He was wishing me luck in
the cycle.

Henry found Zolpidem in
our vic's system.

I'm guessing this is how
it got into there.

You know, I did find
a prescription bottle

for Zolpidem in the trash,

but it belonged
to somebody else,

and there was still
a few pills in it.

You know the rules:
I couldn't collect it

because there was no
direct link to the case.

Did you get a pic?

I did.

Label got wet.

But I think I can still
scan the bar code.

Bottle belonged
to an Evan Ferrari.

All right, well, based on DV8's
social calendar,

my bet is that
Mr. Ferrari is also a gamer.

It's like finding
a nerd in a haystack.

Maybe she can help.

Excuse me.

I'm with the Crime Lab.

Yeah, I remember you.

And your sidekick,
Commander Buzz Kill.

Listen, sugarbug,

we're looking for
Evan Ferrari.

So if you don't want
another buzz kill,

just point him
out to me.

The blonde.

That's Evan Ferrari?

Sweet ride.

I knew something was wrong.

I kept calling him,
but no answer.

But then when he didn't show up
to the semifinals...

poor Stevie.

Did he have
a heart attack?

How well did you
know Stevie?

He was my boyfriend.

Really?

I'm sorry for your loss.

We found your Zolpidem
in his apartment.

How many pills did you give him?

What?

You crushed up his pills,
spiked his drink

and put him
to sleep forever.

I didn't crush any pills.

The only thing that I had
a crush on was Stevie.

He had trouble sleeping.

He was a gamer and...

there was
always someone on line

that was ready to thumble,

and he just could
never back down,

so, sometimes I would give him
sleeping pills,

but never more than the
recommended dosage.

I think you're lying.

And I think big Stevie
got nervous

when his fine Italian
sports car girlfriend

was strutting her stuff for
a thousand amped-up geeks.

I work all kinds of events:

conventions, fight nights.

It pays the bills.

And Stevie knew that.

He liked a woman
with her own career.

You're a cyber
league girl.

You don't make
a lot of money.

So maybe some nerd offered to
pay you to dose Stevie,

knock him out of
the tournament

and share some of the
prize money with you.

No, I would never do that.

I loved Stevie.

And for the record,
I didn't need his money

or anyone else's.

I make enough off
my looks to have anything

that I could ever want--

except for a man who can see
past them.

So, the pot on the cycle
is up to four grand

if you want
to get in on this.

If I want to gamble,
I'll go to a casino.

Fair enough.

I got back DNA on the blood
from the house.

Two contributors.

One was our victim,

the other
an unknown male.

I may be able to help there.

I ran the prints.

Most came back
to our victim Ben Fowler,

a few unknowns,
but we did get one hit

in the system:

Carl Jansen.

Nice rap sheet--
burglary, larceny, assault.

Did you check with PD?

Yes. He's a loan shark.

I also checked our
victim's phone records,

and you can see, that our loan
shark has been calling him.

Calling him a lot.

Mm-hmm. Well, Carl doesn't
look like somebody

you want to owe money to.

These are your
fingerprints,

this is your blood,

and I'm guessing
that's your gun.

Used to shoot Ben Fowler.

How much
did he owe you?

All right, Carl, come on now.

You save us a little time here,

we might be able
to return the favor.

Does that line ever really work?

Actually, it does.

It did with Armin Kosh.

Yeah, when you get
out of the joint,

I'd suggest
finding yourself a new fence.

Your boy gave you up
real quick.

He paid you $3,000
for the items

that you stole from
the Alexander house.

After you put a slug in Ben's
head and dumped him in the pool.

Sounds like I need to have
a little talk with Armin.

Threatening to kill someone in
front of a cop?

That's not real smart.

I don't kill people.

Dead people
don't make me money.

It's my blood,

my prints.

I was there... to collect.

Just give me till Tuesday.

Tuesday, huh?

Are you sure
you won't forget?

Because I think
you're gonna forget.

I swear I won't.

I think you will.
That's why

we're gonna settle right now.

Take the TV...

take everything.

Guy owes me money.

Now, the way this works,
he's gonna owe me more money.

You want to hook me up
for stealing a TV?

Go ahead.

That's all you got.

Wow-- Kevin,
charming.

I hate him...

to the very core
of my being.

Oh, I hear you.

I don't even want to tell
you what he just said

to me in the washroom,
but do me a favor.

and take a good look at the D.B.
Thank you.

Dude, I'm rolling
a natural here.

I told CSI Redhead I'm
putting five large on her.

I'm gonna score and
then I'm gonna score.

If you think
for one second

that Catherine would actually
lower herself--

There's no way this old lady
didn't die of old age.

Paramedics found her on
the stairs.

Dude, that's my corpse.

Shh.

Hear that crepitis sound?

She has osteoporosis.

Yeah, Grey's Anatomy,
she's old.

Well, the injury indicates
that she probably fell

and fractured her femur;
caused a blood clot.

No way her death was a natural.

It was an accident.

Can we just keep this
between us?

No.

Diagnose this, Quincy--

why does my head ache
the more I'm around you?

Hey, got an AG waiver on Evan
Ferrari's phone and ISP.

Our cyber league girl wasn't
kidding about loving DV8.

If anything, she might have
loved him a little too much.

"Find another beer belly to rub.
DV8's mine."

"Text DV8 again and your phone
will blow off your fingers."

Do gamers have groupies?

Haven't you seen
The Social Network?

Hey, bank. Hope you got
my stomach contents there.

Look, I'm really sorry
I fell a little behind.

I can't believe I got roped
into being everybody's bookie.

So, your gamer didn't just
have Zolpidem in his system.

The extended tox panel says

his pizza had an extra topping:
Emetine.

Hm. Primary alkaloid in ipecac.

Used to induce vomiting.

If you knock
somebody out

with Zolpidem,
and then feed him a pizza

with ipecac...

Hello Jimmy Hendrix,
good-bye DV8.

He chokes to death on his vomit.

So, Evan's pissed
at her boyfriend

for doing a little
groupie-grabbing.

What do you got for me,
LeftBrain?

You walked right into my trap.

She mixes him
a nightcap.

Don't think I don't
need to see you

behind that
rock to kill you.

There you are.

Adds in some
special sauce.

Looks like you could use
a midnight snack, baby.

I buy it.

But how do you prove it?

Well, we still have
her bottle of Zolpidem.

Now we can actually print it.

I'll go get it.

And I'll print
the pizza box.

If she served him his last meal,
that puts the pizza in her hand.

:
Pizza, pizza.

Sorry. I had to.

What are you delivering, Greg?

Oh, just our
prime suspect.

Sara and I ran prints on the
pizza box and Zolpidem bottle.

Both came back to a work card
for a Monica Gimble--

better known
as DJ Drang.

She's working the
Cyber Bowl-- the emcee.

For a big guy in a diaper,

DV8 sure knew how to
attract some killer babes.

So you were moonlighting
as a pizza delivery girl.

Excuse me?

Well, you delivered
a pizza to DV8Avenger

the night he choked and
croaked... didn't you?

So I delivered
a pizza to a friend.

The man liked to eat.

No, I understand.

Hey, listen,
I love pizza, you know?

I'm from the East Coast.

I like it, you know,
I like New York style pizza.

You know, I never had a pizza
to go that had ipecac on it?

It must be a Vegas thing.

You know, ipecac, you gotta get
it from an on line pharmacy.

and you gotta use
your credit card.

And you used your credit card.

So, we got you for
the ipecac.

And the lab guys told me

it was combined with
a drug called Zolpidem.

And here's where it gets
a little salacious.

Your fingerprints
are on the bottle,

and Evan Ferrari's name
is on the script.

So we know
you know her.

The question is how well?

We're just friends.

"Just friends" with benefits?

We thought you were
in on it together

until we read the e-mail
where she dumped you.

You were girlfriend
and girlfriend.

You shared everything;
you shared the Zolpidem.

But you didn't share her
newfound taste in men, right?

I thought she was going through
some weird experimental phase.

Yeah, I know what you mean,
I saw the guy.
Right?

I mean, if you're going to
go join the other team,

at least make it
a model or a jock,

not... Jabba the Hutt.

The bastard even
threw it in my face.

How his thumbs had
given her more pleasure

than she'd ever known.

So he had to go.

I loved Evan, and he
stole her from me.

And then he's about
to win the Cyber Bowl,

walk away with
a hundred grand?

He didn't deserve
any of that.

So you spiked his
pizza and his soda.

I knew the fat pig couldn't
turn down free food

and a little come-on.

Double bonus!

I just wanted to
wish you luck.

Want some company?

I thought, fat guy,
stuffing his face,

chokes on his own vomit...

who's going to
investigate that?

Let me guess.

Me?

Hey, Catherine, I ran
ballistics on our bullet.

It came from
the gun in the pool,

but the gun's
not in the system.

Well, it's not like we expected
loan shark Carl to get sloppy.

So I got a call from the
Alexanders' insurance adjustor.

He accounted for all
of the electronics

that Carl boosted
from the house,

but there was one additional
item missing-- a sculpture.

Is it valuable?

Worth about ten grand, so Vice
talked to Carl's fence,

he never saw it, and PD's
canvassing pawn shops.

We'll see what we get.All right.

This case will just not
die a natural death.

I pulled some very interesting
trace from your gun.

Uh, more specifically,
from the front sight--

human tissue.

The killer's?

Unfortunately for
Nick's and my

apparently ill-advised wager,

it belongs to the victim.

Tissue from his tongue.

So the killer shoved the
gun into Fowler's mouth.

That's not possible.

There was no GSR
around the wound.

Maybe Fowler was
shot underwater?

Sorry, boss.
It's just a theory.

I mean, we're all under a lot
of pressure here, but...

All right, so, if you found
tissue from the victim's tongue

on the sight,

that means that not only was
the gun inside his mouth,

but that it was upside-down.

And a gun in this position,

looks more like
suicide than murder.

Which is consistent with
Ben Fowler's state of mind.

Divorced, in debt...

What about the break-in?

The guy was tied up
and dumped in the pool.

You saying it was staged?No.

The evidence
is saying it.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

The shoeprint on
the door was a match

to a pair of Ben Fowler's shoes.

So, he kicks in the door,

punches a hole
in the window,

then tries to make it all
look like a break-in.

Doc Robbins found rope
fibers in the victim's teeth.

And Hodges proved
that it is possible

to tie yourself into knots.

So he wasn't trying to
loosen his restraints,

he was trying to tighten them.

Apparently.

And when he fired
the gun underwater,

the flames were extinguished,

which explains why there
was no GSR in his mouth.

Now why would he go through so
much trouble to make a suicide

look like a homicide?

Because he wanted
to make amends.

Look, the man's life
was in pieces.

He's divorced, he'd gotten
pulled over for a DUI.

His ex-wife had to
come bail him out.

That couldn't
have felt good.

Then Carl Jansen beats him up.

And while he's watching
Carl and his thugs

tear apart his friend's home,

maybe Ben thought there was a
way for him to be a man again,

to be a husband, a provider.

The pawnshop
owner I.D.'d Ben

the morning of his death.

Said he came into shop
and pawned the sculpture.

A thousand bucks.

A million, actually.

What do you mean?Ben didn't take the cash.

He had the pawnshop wire the
money to an insurance company.

Life insurance.

Had a million dollar policy.

He was behind on some of the
payments, but he used the money

from the sculpture to pay off
the remaining balance.

He killed himself
so I could have the money?

You said you never
stopped loving him.

Well, clearly, he never
stopped loving you.

You know, when a man

lets his wife down,
loses her...

sometimes he can
lose himself.

When your marriage fails,
what no one tells us is that

it makes us feel like
we've failed somehow.

I'm not sure who failed who.

Last body of the shift.

Dare I ask?

Homicide.

Liquor store robbery.
Single GSW.

So much for hitting the cycle.

Unbelievable.
It's one shift,

five homicides, two suicides,
three accidentals,

not a single natural.

All it takes is old age,
heart attack, stroke, aneurysm.

Well, you and Kevin get
our vic washed up and prepped.

Then go home.

Got it.

Kevin.

Wake. Up.

Kevin! I need help!

Okay, you are
such a sack of...

Doc?

David, don't be a snitch,
just wake him up

so I can fire him.

Uh, he's dead.

Yeah, he said
he had a headache.

He's been popping
aspirin all day.

Thought he was hung over.

Blown pupil.

Aneurysm.

Well, there's your natural.

We completed the cycle.

Yeah.
But nobody won.

Au contraire.

I did.

You found the body,
did you not?

Yeah. So?My money was on you.

Most natural deaths
aren't investigated by CSI.

But when a body drops,
you're always there.

Even when the body
drops in your lap.

Sorry, Kevin.

Uh, are you calling 911?

No, I'm calling Henry.
