Season 14 Episode Guide

Episode 1 - Bodies

A teenage girl is found dead in an alley, with evidence of strangulation, blunt force to the head and sexual violation. She is Sally Galan, a 17-year-old who had been out drinking with her boyfriend, left the bar quite upset and never came home. M.E. Rodgers says that the bite marks on Sally's breasts were eerily similar to an unsolved case in Brooklyn five years ago. Briscoe and Green talk to the detective on that case and the best they can come up with is it was another teenage girl who disappeared on her way home from the library. At the time, there was a mysterious man at the library and they had a sketch. The detectives show that sketch to Julie, a waitress at the bar. She confirms it could have been someone she saw following the victim out of the bar. They are also concerned that he could be a serial killer as there are numerous unsolved missing teenage girl cases, which were all outside and walking distance from home when they disappeared.

  

Episode 2 - Bounty

A man is found dead in a seedy hotel, and it appears to be a perverse sexual encounter gone awry. It takes awhile but Briscoe and Green find the identity of the victim. First by tracing a phone call to a hooker named Cosette, then by talking to the manicurist near his hotel, who tells them the victim had been there a couple of days before he died and told the manicurist he drove around the country and was from Philly. They find his car, with a stack of clips about Mitchell Maas in the trunk. Maas is a bookstore heir and fugitive rapist, and the victim is "Bobcat" Rovelli, bounty hunter. They find his cell phone records that show he made three calls to Brian Kellogg, a star reporter for the venerable New York Tribune. African-American and young, Kellogg was on the fast track and had just done a controversial interview with Maas. But he refuses to give up his whereabouts.

  

Episode 3 - Patient Zero

A woman is killed after her SUV is carjacked, and when Briscoe and Green finally locate the vehicle, there's a vial of SARS in the back. They find the killer, a young black man who signs a confession, knowing there's enough evidence against him to make his case almost hopeless. His victim, Anna Hopkins, worked for world-renowned biochemist/virologist Dr. Charles Blanchard, and he claims he knew nothing about the traveling SARS vial. But Anna's friend Kate tells a different story. She reveals to the cops that Anna would do anything Dr. Blanchard asked her to. Coincidentally, a SARS epidemic breaks out and the doctors at St. Mark's Hospital isolate "patient zero," a journalist named Janine Wilson, who just returned from a conference on infectious diseases in Toronto.

  

Episode 4 - Shrunk

An attractive young woman is found naked and stabbed to death in the elegant town house of Tony-winning composer John David Myers. His assistant, Margot Dalton, found the body and Myers is upstairs in complete shock. Briscoe and Green consider Myers a suspect, but also believe it could have been a burglar because of an unlocked window and dirt found on the carpet. The dead woman is an aspiring actress named Carrie Gunderson. She had attended a Broadway premiere where she met Myers, went to the after party with him, and then back to his place for drinks and sex.

  

Episode 5 - Blaze

Danzibar nightclub is packed and multiple generations of rock fans are on hand to see Wotan perform. They reached their peak in the early 1980's but still have a following. But a massive fire turns the evening into tragedy. Twenty-two patrons and the band's bassist are burned to death, and many others are injured. Wotan's trademark was pyrotechnics and even though they were in a smaller club, they insisted on performing their trademark flamethrower effects. Terry Connor, a.k.a. Wotan, the lead singer, claims he didn't know their contract for the club prohibited fireworks. Maxie Broome, their manager, claims they had performed the fire tricks the night before and no one said anything. Nick Stoller, who is in charge of the props, claims he checked everything and there's no way they caused the fire.

  

Episode 6 - Identity

Daphne Hitchens returns home with her two kids, and finds her husband shot to death. She doesn't know why he wasn't at work, but it turns out he lost his job nine months before, and had been living off a $400,000 mystery deposit. Hitchens got the money in a very circuitous fashion, working backwards, from cashier's checks to the sale of diamonds to money from the refinancing of a Harlem brownstone. The brownstone belonged to an elderly black man named Lonnie Jackson, but he defaulted on his payments. It takes Briscoe and Green awhile to find Lonnie and when they do, it's discovered he's a proud, hardworking man who has some senility issues. His prints were found in Hitchens' apartment and it also appears Hitchens had assumed Lonnie's identity.

  

Episode 7 - Floater

A floater is found in the Hudson, and with the body so badly decomposed it's very difficult to make an identification. After an exhaustive search of the west side, Briscoe and Green find a locket in Ft. Tyron Park and inside is a photo of a girl in a school uniform. They track the girl, Lena Marchetti, and discover her mother, Arianna, is missing. Arianna is the victim and the Detectives question her father, Gene. Apparently, Arianna went to the corner store and disappeared, but a witness claims to have seen her getting into a black sedan. The Detectives question Gene, who says his marriage was perfect and there wasn't a third party involved. But Gene's ex-wife gives a different idea, claiming he cheated on her with his personal assistant, Arianna. They get the feeling Gene's current assistant is sleeping with him as well, and also happens to be his alibi.

  

Episode 8 - Embedded

Frank Elliot is a hotshot television reporter who has just returned from an embedded stint in Iraq. He is shot outside the hip bar Lotus, but survives. Briscoe and Green are investigating and it's clear Briscoe isn't fond of the reporter. At first the Detectives think a defense attorney, Barry Boyd, could be the suspect because Elliot exposed him. But he has an alibi, and besides, he says the publicity, even bad, has really helped his business. Boyd also informs them he's representing the families of three soldiers from the 81st battalion who were killed. The families are suing Elliot and his employer because he divulged the battalion's whereabouts on television, making them sitting ducks for the enemy, thus causing the deaths.

  

Episode 9 - Compassion

A middle-aged man, Gideon Blake, drops dead in an Oyster Bar. Detective Green detects the smell of bitter almonds, indicating cyanide poisoning. His lunch date, a pediatric oncologist named Bethany Allison, arrives after Blake's been taken away. The cyanide came from the hot sauce, which he brought himself. Blake had a strange profession. He "talked" to the dead and people paid him a hefty sum for his services. Briscoe and Green realize there could be many disgruntled former clients but discover his prints match a guy the Feds have been looking for, named John Wayne Mapes. Mapes/Blake bilked doctors out of millions of dollars and Dr. Allison is on his list.

  

Episode 10 - Ill-Conceived

Arnold Zachary, owner of a successful clothing factory, is found beaten to death in his office. Even though he ran a "sweat shop," he was much more pleasant than most bosses and his employees were not disgruntled. A security tape shows the killer arriving and leaving but it's difficult to see his face. But Detectives Briscoe and Green canvass the employees to see if there were any problems. One of his workers, Maria Villanueva, just had a baby and had a longer than usual maternity leave. They talk to her and Briscoe holds the baby, who drools on his shirt, therefore supplying the DNA to determine the victim is the baby's father. Now they think Maria's boyfriend, Miguel Comacho, is the killer for obvious reasons. They pick up Miguel and his English isn't very good but he's still mirandized in English and then confesses to killing Arnold.

  

Episode 11 - Darwinian

The body of a homeless man who was run over by a car is found in Roosevelt Park. He's been dead about a week but his body had most likely been somewhere cold, then it was dumped in the park. Briscoe and Green talk to other homeless people in the park, including a man named Max, but they have a hard time identifying the victim. A key from a locker leads them to his personal belongings, stored at a YMCA, and they discover he's Alan Fisher, a schizophrenic who had been on the streets for about two years. It takes awhile, but CSU Tech Julian Beck figures out Fisher was run over by a vehicle whose automakers use lasers to microscopically etch the VIN number on the windshield, only found on Aston-Martins. And the one that killed him was green. The car in question belongs to a hot publicist named Carrie Salter. She is nervous when questioned and a trip to the Aston-Martin body shop gives the Detectives the evidence they need.

  

Episode 12 - Payback

Jerry Tortino, a part-time buggy driver, is found shot to death with a crescent moon branded on his neck at the West Side stables. Jerry was a former bookie who served two out of a ten-year sentence in Sing Sing and he got off easy because he ratted out a major crime boss, Federico Righetti. Three weeks after Righetti gets out of prison, Tortino is killed. Briscoe and Green talk to Righetti's nephew Peter, which doesn't get them very far. Nonetheless, there's a connection they find between the Righetti's and Tortino. It seems they share the same real estate agent, Cary Stillwell.

Lisa Winslow is very successful, one of the country's top motivational speakers and a former world-class athlete. She is found dead in the courtyard of a luxury hotel, hours after a speech. She lived in Riverdale and was using the hotel room to freshen up. At first, Briscoe and Green question some pro basketball players, last seen with her at the bar, but discover Lisa was gay.

Episode 14 - City Hall

There's a shooting at City Hall; Councilman Clarence Clark is killed and a water inspector, Ron Tabachnik, is injured. It's assumed Clark was the target, so Briscoe and Green start their investigation by talking to the security guards. They suspect the shooter was a "regular" because "regulars" were allowed to bypass security, and the shooter did just that. The Detectives believe Clark's most recent opponent, Sonny Rodino, could be the shooter, but he had an alibi which checks out. Then they realize there was a meeting taking place that very day, consisting of people upset about their water bills, and they now think Tabachnik was the target.

  

Episode 15 - Veteran's Day

Brian Teague, a college student, is found strangled to death. The killer used a type of choking move that is learned in the military or in the past at the police academy. Brian was confrontational, spoke his mind, organized protests and had a rap sheet of domestic disturbances to prove it. Brian was supposed to be at a rally that day, and Briscoe and Green try and trace his last steps. First he had a beef with a mailman outside a newsstand, but the mailman, Kenny Silva, claims it was just words. Then it turns out, he was arrested that afternoon, and they think the cop who caught him might be the suspect. Even though he was brought in, he started making so much trouble and threatening to call the ACLU, the supervisor cut him loose. Dawso, the officer who arrested him, claims he gave him a "tune up" but didn't kill him. Meanwhile, they find his parents' Lexus defaced, and the repair shop owner says that Brian had called for the tow, from a bar. The bar is a watering hole for veterans, and they realize Brian was in enemy territory.

  

Episode 16 - Can I Get a Witness?

A young black male is shot point blank at a park in Harlem. The only thing the witnesses nearby can say, is the shooter, who rode a bicycle, had a weird eye. It takes awhile, but Briscoe and Green find the shooter, Foster Keyes, through the eye center since he had a glass eye. When they go to his apartment, they find his cousin Ronald, a.k.a. "Slug," is not very helpful. But with all his tattoos, it's obvious he's a prison veteran.

A young boy finds a hand wrapped in a plastic bag while looking in a dumpster for his misplaced braces. Soon other body parts are found in neighboring dumpsters.

His name was Roger Barry and he was a crotchety old tenant who annoyed all of his neighbors. Apparently, he'd been spending time with the woman across the hall, Jennifer Shelby, who a neighbor says is deaf. In Jennifer's apartment is a fillet knife with blood on it, and a yearbook from Cedar Hill Academy, a very well to do private school. They track her down, but Jennifer has been married and is now Jennifer Teller, living in luxury on the Upper East Side. It's obvious someone has assumed her identity.

But both drivers had alibis for the time of the murder. The driver dropped Leah off at the Federal Building and it's revealed she was a witness in the deportation trial of Stefan Anders, a Nazi. Leah was a slave laborer at Bobrek, a satellite camp of Auschwitz, which manufactured airplane and submarine parts and was in the process of giving her version of events as part of the Shoah project.
