S08E10. Body Ink… (CSI: BA – 100 EPISODES!!!)
Night in the city and we see a hotel room, its dark, there's silence but, suddenly, the doors opens and… Bruce arrives carrying King both laughing and happy… they got married!!!!
King takes off her wedding dress while Bruce takes off his and they make love…
TWO WEEKS LATER
Night in the city and the police arrive at a crime scene where there's a dead man on the floor and Det. Seeley arrives with Det. Morgan and the officer reveals to the that the guy was shot when he got inside the house and saw a "shadow" trying to rape his girlfriend
When they see the guy's girlfriend, who's still alive, they notice something really familiar on her right ankle… she has the "fleur-de-lis" tattoo!!!!
(Opening Credits)
Bruce arrives to the CSI: BA Building and he gathers with Reggie in the "behavior office" were he was working on "The Gentleman" case and, after asking him how was the honeymoon in Paris, Bruce asks about the girl that was found with the "fleur-de-lis" tattoo… alive!!!
Det. Seeley shows up saying that, apparently, "The Gentleman" followed Sofia Hagen (the girl) and try to do HIS JOB but he didn't expect Tommy (Sofia's boyfriend) to show up so they imagine that "The Gentleman" murdered Tommy and run away leaving Sofia behind…
The cause of death is clear (Dra. Danvers): shot to the back of the head, blood spread all over the walls and floor so Dr. Tossi, the NEW Ballistics Department Technician, determines that the bullet came from a Taurus PT92AF
Dets. Riggs and Danko are trying to interrogate Sofia about the moment when she was attacked but she's very afraid, and scared, to recall the moment so they call an expert… Dr. Steven Hamilton
Dr. Hamilton success, using some techniques, in making Sofia to take a deep breath, calm-down and to make her "believe" that she's SAFE NOW… that it's all over
He asks Sofia about what happened and Sofia recalls what happened:
She was on a bar with Tommy, her boyfriend, until he got out to the bathroom and, suddenly, a guy showed up asking her if she wanted to join him on a party but she wasn't interested… she accepted one drink only and, between drinks, she asked him about the party (She was thinking on assisting the party… BUT WITH HER BOYFRIEND) so the guy told her about the party and, suddenly, she started to feel dizzy and she remembers been dragged to a car and, been dizzy, she remembers the guy asked her where she lived and, when she asked about Tommy, the guy told her that Tommy was with them in the car… she gave him the address before fainting… then she woke up and saw the guy and she realize that she was tied-up to a bed, naked, face-down and the guy was making her a tattoo on her right ankle before proceeding to rape her…
She heard a door, she heard Tommy screaming and a shot… then the fainted… and the police arrived…
The story has some issues so the entire CSI: BA Team debate about the incident:
-Reggie and Bruce are 100% sure that it was "The Gentleman" for the "fleur-de-lis" tattoo but WHY DID HE USED THE VICTIMS HOME? WHY NOT A HOTEL? HE DIDN'T KNEW THAT THE GIRL HAD A BOYFRIEND? THAT SHE WASN'T, PROBABLY, VIRGIN LIKE THE OTHER VICTIMS?
-Morgan adds that, maybe, it wasn't a "regular" attack so Seeley says that, maybe, it wasn't "The Gentleman" itself who attacked Sofia but his apprentice…
Reggie says that maybe the apprentice was alone and, when he saw Sofia, he saw the "opportunity", even without been a regular attack, to HAVE SOME FUN…
He attacked Sofia trying to make it look like a regular attack but things got out of his hands… Dr. Hamilton arrives saying that Sofia described the attacker and they have a face…
The police take down a door and arrest a man inside his home and, when Reggie, Bruce and Seeley check the premises that find an old Ford Falcon XR… they finally caught "the Gentleman"? :D :D
The arrested man is interrogated by Det. Seeley and Det. Morgan while Reggie and Bruce observe behind the glass wall but the man doesn't seems to respond to his real name… Bruce and Reggie talk in private and they think that the guy may be "the Gentleman" apprentice
Det. Seeley pressure him saying that when he saw Sofia tried to make his OWN job, his first HUNT alone without his Master present, but he forgot some rules… he didn't notice, pay attention, to the boyfriend and, by killing him, he left a trail behind…
Sofia recognizes the guy as her attacker so, now, they have to crack "The Wingman" if they want to catch "The Gentleman" but hes making things very difficult specially, when the guy asks for his "call", a woman named Emily Rhodes shows up claiming to be the guy's lawyer…
Chuck, the guy, denies any kind of speech or word now that his lawyer is present and, regarding no substantial evidence, Mrs. Rhodes demands that Chuck must be set free
Sadly the CSI: BA evidences seems to play against them because Sofia claims that she recognize Chuck as her attacker but, showing Dr. Gibbons toxicology tests, Mrs. Rhodes says that Sofia suffered from a high drug that could make her mistake Chuck as her attacker (dizziness, blurred vision, the lack of senses) so, while everyone look at Dr. Gibbons and he says "Ah I prefer a firing squad…", Mrs. Rhodes argues with Det. Seeley about Chuck's condition
Reggie and Bruce also are in the argument saying, and showing pictures, things about the Ford Falcon XR but, besides claiming that there are thousands of people not just in South America that likes old cars, she asks Chuck about the car and he claims that someone stole his car two months ago… and that, when the police found it they return the car
There's a police record in the West District about an abandoned Ford Falcon XR found on a nearby alley that was returned to its owner so, without confession, Sofia's recognition been disaccredited and NO murder weapon Chuck is set free…
Reggie is frustrated about the situation because HE KNOWS, HE FEELS that Chuck it's "The Gentleman" apprentice but Bruce tells him to calm calm-down and to think about their next move…
The entire case is standing on cracking ice and, in any minute, it could be cracked apart so they have to think clearly the next move…
Bruce returns home and King is sleeping but, when he sits on in, she asks him about what happened but Bruce says that it doesn't matter and he says that it would be nice to MOVE AWAY FROM their old lives… King looks at him and Bruce says that maybe they should think about moving…
Chuck and Mrs. Rhodes are on a hotel talking about things, arguing about things and Mrs. Rhodes is yelling at Chuck bout what he did and if he thought that HE WAS MORE SMART THAN HER and Chuck, apologizing, calls Mrs. Rhodes "The Lady"
Mrs. Rhodes says that it doesn't matters and grab Chuck to kiss him and, when they are about to make-out, she uses gloves and grabs a belt suggesting domination and, when she places the belt around Chuck's neck she strangles im to death…
She gets out of the hotel and a fancy car picks her up and, when the driver asks her about Chuck, she refers to him as "The Gentleman"!!!
"The Gentleman" remarks that they need to pick-up someone that could hurt them and Mrs. Rhodes, aka "The Lady", remarks that THEY NEED A NEED DRIVER and "The Gentleman" says "YES DEAR…" and they drive-off into the night…
The Lady?!?!??!!?!??!!? The Gentleman?!?!?!? Two serial killers?!?! A couple?!?!?!?!?
