We heard him. 435 00:21:06,164 --> 00:21:08,783 Are you sure? Yeah. I'm sure. 436 00:21:10,580 --> 00:21:12,336 Tommy, wait for us outside. 437 00:21:12,757 --> 00:21:14,928 Are we through here?

Which leaves us right back... 440 00:21:20,948 --> 00:21:22,061 where we started. Maybe not. 441 00:21:22,132 --> 00:21:25,263 Lab just called. Says they got something to show us. 442 00:21:25,972 --> 00:21:29,714 The semen on the sheets from the Hotel Decameron came back as two distinct types. 443 00:21:30,452 --> 00:21:33,681 She had sex with two men. Because it's a hotel, we can't be certain. 444 00:21:33,747 --> 00:21:37,325 But check this out. Look at the fingerprint pattern on the ashtray. 445 00:21:38,132 --> 00:21:39,790 The perp's a lefty. 446 00:21:40,275 --> 00:21:43,438 All the wounds were on the left side of the victim's head. 447 00:21:44,019 --> 00:21:48,393 Now, I reach with my left hand for the ashtray, I am holding it like this. 448 00:21:49,011 --> 00:21:53,134 Pattern of the wounds only fit the edge of the ashtray next to the heel of my hand. 449 00:21:53,235 --> 00:21:54,925 That's impossible. Exactly. 450 00:21:54,994 --> 00:21:57,994 It's even more pronounced with the telephone. The attacker grabbed it with... 451 00:21:58,065 --> 00:22:01,776 the thumb on top of the receiver, fingers underneath the cradle, like this. 452 00:22:03,057 --> 00:22:05,959 There's no way that she could do that from her position underneath... 453 00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:08,684 and cause that wound pattern on the left side of Victor's head. 454 00:22:08,754 --> 00:22:10,761 Meaning somebody else was in both rooms. 455 00:22:10,832 --> 00:22:12,775 Prints on the phone and the ashtray are identical. 456 00:22:12,849 --> 00:22:14,571 So she had a partner in her little game. 457 00:22:14,641 --> 00:22:16,976 Judging from the second semen stain, yes. 458 00:22:17,073 --> 00:22:20,749 So, he saves his damsel in distress from her would-be rapist and then they have sex? 459 00:22:20,817 --> 00:22:22,955 While the victim lays bleeding on the floor. 460 00:22:23,888 --> 00:22:25,644 What kind of fantasy is that? 461 00:22:29,679 --> 00:22:31,141 CSU found prints in the closets... 462 00:22:31,215 --> 00:22:33,637 of both hotel rooms, and the prints match up... 463 00:22:33,713 --> 00:22:34,825 with the ashtray and the phone. 464 00:22:34,895 --> 00:22:37,035 They also found semen in both of the closets. 465 00:22:37,103 --> 00:22:41,031 The DNA is identical to one of the two stains found on each of the hotel beds. 466 00:22:41,103 --> 00:22:43,405 Whoever Jack and Jill are, they're not in the system. 467 00:22:43,471 --> 00:22:47,845 So Jack warms up for the big event as he watches Jill and the victim get it on. 468 00:22:47,982 --> 00:22:50,087 Everybody has fantasies.

The guy had a baby fetish... 473 00:22:58,862 --> 00:23:00,389 he wore diapers underneath his clothes. 474 00:23:00,494 --> 00:23:03,341 We go to his place.

Probably by accident. 499 00:24:06,858 --> 00:24:10,655 Couple's making love, she fights him a little bit. It excites her. 500 00:24:10,763 --> 00:24:13,183 He fights her back, it excites her even more. 501 00:24:13,257 --> 00:24:16,966 Turns out to be the best sex they ever had. Until the fantasy wears thin. 502 00:24:17,770 --> 00:24:19,809 And then they get somebody else to play the part. 503 00:24:19,881 --> 00:24:22,914 And the husband gets to be the hero. Maybe they start with a friend. 504 00:24:22,986 --> 00:24:24,807 Or they pick up a businessman from St. Louis... 505 00:24:24,873 --> 00:24:26,116 only he doesn't want to play along. 506 00:24:26,377 --> 00:24:29,639 So, then they turn to male escorts. And when the fantasy evolves? 507 00:24:30,409 --> 00:24:35,045 It becomes such a part of their sexual ritual, it's the only way they can get aroused. 508 00:24:35,144 --> 00:24:38,276 Their last victim is in a coma. So, it progresses to violence. 509 00:24:38,376 --> 00:24:41,060 As they sink deeper into the delusion, the madness escalates. 510 00:24:41,128 --> 00:24:44,543 They become addicts, they need a stronger fix more often. 511 00:24:45,832 --> 00:24:47,687 Listen, we are going to have to cut this short. 512 00:24:47,752 --> 00:24:48,701 What's up? 513 00:24:48,904 --> 00:24:52,798 Maid at the Broadway Hotel found a body in another room.

That's not enough to arrest her. 583 00:28:31,130 --> 00:28:33,879 It's enough for a search warrant. But you serve it and she's tipped off. 584 00:28:33,945 --> 00:28:35,188 You're left with pimping and... 585 00:28:35,258 --> 00:28:37,199 one uncorroborated statement from a co-conspirator. 586 00:28:37,273 --> 00:28:39,728 Any suggestions, counselor?

Not to the Broadway Hotel. 603 00:29:36,374 --> 00:29:37,803 Client wants you to spend the night... 604 00:29:37,878 --> 00:29:40,114 it's part of the job. You get well paid for it. 605 00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:42,644 Getting bludgeoned isn't part of the job. 606 00:29:42,965 --> 00:29:45,420 Greg's dead, Victor's still in a coma. 607 00:29:45,621 --> 00:29:49,069 I am sorry about your friend.

Ask your attorney to explain it to you. 650 00:32:06,380 --> 00:32:09,862 You set Dowd up, Moore was killed in his place. That makes you responsible. 651 00:32:10,477 --> 00:32:13,575 Tommy Dowd with his disfigured face should be a very compelling witness. 652 00:32:13,709 --> 00:32:15,432 He won't testify against me. 653 00:32:15,533 --> 00:32:17,386 Why do you think he agreed to wear a wire? 654 00:32:17,708 --> 00:32:20,577 He knew you were trying to kill him. I didn't try to kill anyone. 655 00:32:20,652 --> 00:32:22,310 It was just business. Leslie... 656 00:32:22,379 --> 00:32:24,966 These women don't know if someone loves them or their money. 657 00:32:25,036 --> 00:32:26,563 I provide companionship. 658 00:32:26,635 --> 00:32:28,326 You are nothing but a high-priced pimp. 659 00:32:28,683 --> 00:32:31,269 And like a pimp, you use violence to keep your stable in line. 660 00:32:31,340 --> 00:32:33,282 I still haven't heard the word "Deal." 661 00:32:33,868 --> 00:32:36,452 Man one on Gregory Moore and she gives me the couple who killed him. 662 00:32:36,778 --> 00:32:38,567 She didn't kill him.

I didn't know it was the same couple. 669 00:32:59,849 --> 00:33:02,566 Leslie's not lying. Second and third escort reservations... 670 00:33:02,633 --> 00:33:04,542 were also made with stolen credit card numbers. 671 00:33:04,617 --> 00:33:08,195 We checked the names against the guest lists in both hotels. No matches. 672 00:33:08,265 --> 00:33:09,923 The perps had to get the numbers somewhere. 673 00:33:09,994 --> 00:33:10,976 Common denominators? 674 00:33:11,049 --> 00:33:14,180 All of the cards were used within the last month for purchases from... 675 00:33:14,248 --> 00:33:15,492 different mail order companies. 676 00:33:15,561 --> 00:33:16,969 That doesn't sound promising. 677 00:33:17,032 --> 00:33:19,520 Except that the companies operate out of the same warehouse. 678 00:33:19,593 --> 00:33:21,251 Scott Distributing, Dutchess County. 679 00:33:21,321 --> 00:33:24,223 So, whoever's billing the credit card companies is stealing the numbers. 680 00:33:24,297 --> 00:33:27,428 Their accountants handle the billing. A powerhouse firm on 3rd Avenue. 681 00:33:30,535 --> 00:33:34,332 I'll help you any way I can, detectives, but I'm sure nobody here is responsible. 682 00:33:34,696 --> 00:33:36,997 Who can we talk to about the Scott account? 683 00:33:37,063 --> 00:33:40,772 Gary Sutton's the senior who runs it, but I think he left early today. 684 00:33:41,126 --> 00:33:43,876 In the middle of tax season? Even accountants have a life. 685 00:33:43,944 --> 00:33:47,042 It's his anniversary. I think they were going to a show and dinner. 686 00:33:49,191 --> 00:33:50,914 Is there any way that we could reach him? 687 00:33:50,982 --> 00:33:53,371 I doubt his cell phone is on if he's in the theatre. 688 00:33:53,446 --> 00:33:54,974 Is this Mrs. Sutton? 689 00:33:55,206 --> 00:33:58,075 Darlene.
