"They never listen."

Episode Recap: After a thief makes off with $3.2 million in an armored truck heist, the money is found to be counterfeit. Someone replaced the real loot with fake bills before the robbery - but who?

Body count: 2


The Crimes:

Victim(s): 1 Armored Guard and 1 criminal

Suspect(s): Paul Donlan (other armored Guard Driver), Robert Mackenzie (The Bank Manager)

Whodunit: The sister of the Armored Guard Driver and Robert Mackenzie


Path of evidence:

From the field:
  • Powdered sugar on dead armored car driver
  • GPS on stolen money (the counterfeit)
  • One thief found running with money
  • Horatio sees that Paul is nervous, and asks him if he is covering for someone to which Paul confesses that a man with an accent called him and said to leave the money at a warehouse or his little sister would die.
  • Substance on tarp used to cover the real money at the warehouse
  • Marine organism that turns into limestone at warehouse
  • Rented counterfeiting machine in the basement of a house
  • Blood and binds in basement; the blood did not have serum around it, which Speed finds suspicious
  • Laminate, which means that they could also be counterfeiting ID's
  • Emails on Paul's computer saying that he bought a ticket from Miami to Argentina
  • Picture of Robert and Mary Donlan
  • Robert had transferred the money to Mary's account

From the morgue:


From the lab:
  • Money stolen is found to be Iraqi dinars that had been bleached and then printed, as the dinar's paper are the closest compostion to federal money
  • Powdered sugar on odometer cable
  • Paul Donlan's fingerprint on the GPS in the stolen money which proves that he swapped the money out
  • Address to a house with a basement, the only place that the marine organism could be
  • House with a basement had a spiked electricity bill, which could mean that they were using a counterfeiting machine
  • Laminate found at crime scene is found to be for passports
  • Blood at crime scene had acid citrid dextrose, an anticoagulant. Which leads suspicion that the sister planted the blood
  • Dandruff medication on tarp, and Eric remembers that the bank manager was itching his head

Personnel issues:
Yelina tells Horatio that she knows about Madison and Suzie and that she is okay with it.

This is the first time Calleigh meets Peter Elliot.
