Double-decker murder: Mourners came out to pay their respects to a local high-school coach, but the pallbearers buckled under the weight of the coffin, and finally, two bodies broke through the bottom. One was Coach Bell, the other was a private investigator named Lenny Harper, who had been suffocated. Greg told Catherine that mobsters often disposed of bodies by sticking them in someone else’s coffin. It turns out that Greg’s Las Vegas mobster knowledge is paying off. He finished his book and was flying out in a few days to meet up with publishers. But it was Warrick who recognized Lenny. And he didn’t look too happy about it.
Eavesdropping isn’t nice: While Grissom and Nick checked out Lenny’s office, which was completely clean, Warrick sat alone in Grissom’s office in the dark. Hodges happened to walk by just as Warrick got a mysterious call that upset him. Nick and Archie checked out Lenny’s hard drive and found out that Warrick had hired Lenny to investigate Lou Gedda, who Warrick suspected in stripper Joanna’s death (in “thingyroaches” from earlier this season). When they told Grissom, he was not pleased and quickly phoned Warrick.
Warrick, a killer? Warrick, however, had problems of his own. He was at Gedda’s club, Pigalle, and Lou Gedda was handcuffed to a chair (with Warrick’s handcuffs) and had been shot (with Warrick’s gun). The worst of it: Warrick had no idea whether he’d done it or not. Ecklie quickly shooed Grissom and the other CSIs from the scene because of the conflict of interest. But even Ecklie seemed concerned about Warrick. “Get a lawyer,” he told him as he took his clothes for processing. “In 48 hours, they’re going to charge you.”
Blast from the past: Internal Affairs Officer Wagenbach (played by “The Shield’s” Jay Karnes, who plays Wagenbach on that show) grilled Warrick about the crime. He reminded him of the death of Holly Gribbs (from the “CSI” pilot) and blamed Warrick for her death. He tried to convince Warrick to confess, saying that everyone hated Gedda and they’d go easy on Warrick, but Warrick wasn’t buying it. “Don’t waste your game on me, pal,” Warrick said, and then asked for a lawyer.
Team takes over: Grissom and the team weren’t ready to give up on Warrick. They discovered chloroform on Gedda’s body and thought perhaps Warrick had been drugged, too. Unfortunately, nobody ran a tox screen on Warrick in time to tell. Grissom noticed that there was no blood in the armpits of Warrick’s shirt and he had Nick hold Hodges up as if Hodges were unconscious and Nick were the killer, who helped Hodges pull the trigger. Then he sprayed Hodges with liquid. The patterns matched. “Consistent, but not conclusive,” Nick said. “If we’re right, Warrick was framed,” Grissom said.
Making the connection: Though they were not allowed to officially investigate Gedda’s death, they still had Lenny. Catherine discovered there were traces of chloroform in Lenny’s tox screen as well. And they’d noticed before that the ligature marks on Gedda’s wrists were a different size than Warrick’s handcuffs, which lead them to suspect a cop. They checked out the cops from both scenes. One, Daniel Pritchard, had left a fingerprint on Lenny’s coffin. He was gone, but when they checked his locker, the key to his cuffs tested positive for Gedda’s blood.
Lucky break? Grissom went to tell Warrick he’d been framed and the two embraced. Grissom said that Warrick would be suspended and demoted for hiring Lenny to investigate Gedda, but it was likely that Undersheriff McKeen was just trying to make him sweat. Then Brass walked Warrick out to process him. “Don’t ever forget how lucky you are,” he told Warrick.
Celebration time: Warrick, Greg, Grissom, Catherine and Nick gathered at their usual diner to celebrate Warrick’s release. Nick checked out a pretty redheaded waitress, and one by one the CSIs left until it was just down to Nick and Warrick. “I guess it’s just you and me, Serpico,” Nick said before inviting him out for a beer. But Warrick turned him down, saying he just wanted a shower. “I’m really glad you’re OK,” Nick said.
Last shot: Warrick walked to his car and was about to pull away when Undersheriff McKeen knocked on the window. He told Warrick that he was a good CSI and he didn’t want to fire him. He asked Warrick if he would keep investigating Joanna's death. “I’m done being a rogue in the streets,” Warrick said. “But this one son of a pregnant dog is still out there. And I promise you we’re going to get him.” “You never give up,” the undersheriff said. “That’s what makes you a great CSI.” Then the undersheriff shot Warrick. Turns out that Daniel Pritchard wasn’t working alone. The real dirty cop was McKeen. Rest in peace, Warrick.
