S07E13. Tomorrow, Part 01… (CSI: BA – CSI: NY CROSSOVER!!!!)
Darkness… heavy breath… cold… confusion…
The episode starts with a "Hello?" asked by someone but we cant see anything because the screen is all black when, suddenly, the lights illuminated what it seems a room and, the individual that talk earlier, is Det. Bruce Chase…
Bruce gets up from the floor and sees that he has no gun, no cell-phone and no badge and, a bit dizzy, he recalls an event while trying to maintain stand and not to fall to the ground:
Bruce and Det. King are having a dinner on a restaurant and King asks him about leaving the CSI: BA Team and Bruce confesses that he feels that a "stage" in his life was completed… he wants to retire…
Bruce leaves the table and, in the bathroom, he calls to Det. Serinda Seeley when, suddenly, a hooded figure injects him with something…
Bruce sees that there's another man in the room, still unconscious, and, when Bruce comes close to the man, we see his face… Det. Mac Taylor!!!!!
(Opening Credits)
Day in the city and, in the CSI: BA Team Building, all the detectives are gathered because Bruce has dessapeared last night when he was having a dinner with King on a luxury restaurant…
King, second in command, takes the role of "leader" of the team while explaining to Dets. Morgan, Riggs and Danko the situation: as they all know… they are interrupted by Dets. Josephine Danville and Donald Flack from the CSI: NY division because they have a problem… Det. Mac Taylor has dessapeared as well and, "who Bruce and Mac are connected?" because both, the CSI: BA and CSI: NY division, received the same letter with a "?" carved in the back… so the same kidnapper has both Bruce and Mac hostage…
The "?" is quickly explained by Det. Morgan who, in the last case, investigate along with Bruce a series of kidnapping related to a man they call "The Riddler": a sadistic serial killer that kidnap its victim and "challenge" them to a simple riddle that, in case of finding the wrong answer, they'll die… They didn't catch him yet but they saved the last victim in time… so "The Riddler" is pissed… that's why he abducted Bruce… it was, according "The Riddler", HIS TURN TO BE TESTED…
Det. Flack and Danville are puzzled: Why Mac? When Danko asks them about what was Det. Taylor doing at the time of his abduction Det. Danville answers that he was with her on a benefit act involving the widows of police officers that "fall" in the line of duty…
Morgan reveals that Bruce had a theory about "The Riddler": that it may be an ex-cop because of the knowledge in machinery, explosives and other areas related to the complexity of the devices he uses in its victims… also that it could be a fireman is a viable theory…
Inside the room Det. Taylor wakes up, a bit dizzy, and asks Bruce about were they are but Bruce says that he don't know… Det. Taylor sees that he has nothing with him (no cell-phone, no gun and no badge) and Bruce tells him that he's the same way…
Mac looks at the room and both Detectives realize that there a surveillance camera in one of the corners… someone is hearing and watching!!!
Meanwhile Dets. Karla King and Josephine Danville talk about "The Riddler" and the "connection" between victims is that they all have some "enforcement" connection:
-The first victim was an ex-marine
-The second was an ex-cop
-The third was a lab technician
-The fourth, the one they saved, was recently sent to the streets as a Police Officer… he's still a rooky
Det. Flack and Morgan talk about the relation between the victims and they "plant" a riddle: How it was possible, been 8-hours-away, that "The Riddler" could kidnap Mac and Bruce the same night? The answer is so simple: "The Riddler" has an accomplice
The most "logic" move is to try to find answers with the victim they saved: Officer Bobby Brown…
Inside the room Mac and Bruce try to find a way to open the steel-door but they also see that there's a table with three glass jars and, inside, a bombs with nails on it… they are programmed to explode and kill them…
Suddenly a voice is heard in the room: WELCOME DETECTIVES TO THE TEST OF YOUR LIVES… OR I SHOULD SAY THAT COULD COST THEM? AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE THREE BOMBS CAREFULLY BUILTED ON THAT TABLE MY ADVICE TO YOU TWO IS NOT TO TOUCH THEM THEY HAVE A SENSOR IF YOU MOVE, OR TRY TO DISARM THEM, TRUST ME… THEY WILL BE SET-OFF AND YOU'LL BE HISTORY…
Bruce recognizes the "scenario" and calls the voice by its name: "The Riddler" and "The Riddler" smiles answering by "HELLO DET. CHASE…" but Mac interrupts asking what's going on so "The Riddler" continues with its game: NOW, AS DET. CHASE KNOWS, THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THAT ROOM BEFORE THE BOMBS EXPLODE IS BY GIVING THE RIGHT ANSWER TO A SIMPLE RIDDLE ILL ASK AND THE PRICE OF THE RIGHT ANSWER WILL BE THE KEY THAT WILL SET YOU FREE… THE WRONG ONE WILL INSTANTLY ACTIVATE THE BOMBS AND IT WILL BE THE END…
Bruce asks about the riddle and "The Riddler" reveals it: HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL GATHER, THE WAVE AND THE CLOUD WILL BECOME STRANGLED, WHEREVER YOU'LL GO YOU´LL ALWAYS SEE, BUT EVEN WHEN YOU RUN YOU WILL NEVER ARRIVE…
The Riddler also mentions that they have, as the complexity of the riddle, "30 MINUTES" to find the RIGHT answer or the bombs will explode… LIVE OR DIE YOUR CHOICE!!!!
Mac asks about "The Riddle" but Bruce tells him that he will explain everything ones the game is over now they need to think in the right answer with no mistakes because either if the clock gets to zero or they answer the riddle the wrong way they'll die so… think!!!!!
Dets. Danko and Flack interrogate Officer Brown about anything he can recall from his abduction any clue either from the kidnapper or any place he was taken to… anything!!!!
Officer Brown says that it was late at night and he went to a bar after his shift because he had a bad day… he had shot, for the first time, to a human being when it was going to kill him because he was chasing him (Even when he's a police officer and the guy he shot was a criminal the "first time" is always hard…) so he drank a bit, he talk to a blonde lady…
Stop… Det. Flack asks him about the "lady" and Officer Brown says that they talk, had some drinks, to a hotel and… everything becomes confusing since… the Dets. asks for the name of the bar and/or the lady's name…
With only SEVEN MINUTES left Bruce and Mac are thinking the answer to the riddle but they also have thousands of questions, and enigmas, in their heads regarding thousands of things even "The Riddler" is pressuring them by asking them the answer, why they're taking so long, that the clock is ticking, if they have a lot to think of, when, suddenly, both Dets. look at each other… everything merge… its there… we all see it… the answer is simple… THE HORIZON!!!!
Suddenly a medic-kit box near the door opens and reveals the key so Mac takes it and opens the door revealing a large hall so both detectives get out off the room sealing the door behind them and they hear an explosion… the bombs explode when they closed the door behind them…
The two walk to a steel door they see at the end of the hall and Mac asks Bruce about "The Riddler" and Bruce reveals some details about the "Serial Kidnapper" when they get inside a another room and the door shuts itself behind them… they are trapped yet in another room and "The Riddler" talks: WELCOME TO THE SECOND TEST DETECTIVES NOW AS YOU SEE YOU BOTH ARE STANDING OVER A GRID AND, UNDERNEATH YOU TWO, THERES WATER SO, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, YOU BOTH ARE INSIDE A HUGH WATER TANK AND, THIS TIME, THEY HAVE 15 MINUTES TO FIND THE RIGHT ANSWER OR, VERY SLOWLY, THE WATER WILL START TO RISE-UP UNTIL THEY'LL DROWN… READY?
Mac asks for the riddle and it's revealed: "WHAT IS GREATER THAN GOD, MORE EVIL THAT THE DEVIL ITSELF, WHICH THE POOR HAS IT, THE RICH DON'T NEED IT, THE DEAD THINK ABOUT IT AND IF YOU EAT IT YOU'LL DIE?"
The police and Det. Riggs arrive at the location given from the bartender about the girl that flirted with Officer Brown the night of the abduction (They took her as a possible accomplice in the kidnapping) but, when they arrive at the apartment, they found her dead on the floor with a "?" note on her chest along with a knife!!!!
The note says "I HAVE MANY FRIENDS EVEN WHEN THEY'RE DEAD MY JOB IS TO HELP THEM TO FEEL SAFE ONES DEATH COMES TO THEM" but Det. King, who reads the riddle, is puzzled…
Dra. Peters and Det. Danko get to the room and both agree to work together on the "lab examination" of the entire room in search for clues while, in the bar, Dets. Morgan and Danville receive the bad news about the girl
Meanwhile, in the hotel were Officer Brown said he went with the girl, Det. Flack is searching clues in the room and, suddenly, he discovers a hidden camera inside the ventilation system… he talks to the hotel owner and he discovers that the owner is a "pepping tom" that use the hidden cameras to catch the couples having sex and then he sees them alone… it's a great clue because, if he "catch" Officer Brown and the girl having sex, he probably caught the moment of the kidnapping!!!
Inside the tank-room Bruce and Mac are trying to figure out the riddle and they come up with "POISON" as the answer regarding the "… AND IF YOU EAT IT WOU'LL DIE" but it doesn't fit with the rest of the riddle…
They have only NINE MINUTES LEFT when, suddenly, they hear some sort of mechanism activating and water starts coming out of one of the pipes filling the room!!!!!!
THE END
SO!?!?!? RATE IT!!!
