3:05 am
(computer trilling) it's window glass, but it's tempered. like from a car window? right. but you see these dark spots? seems like it's some kind of tar. you know, tempered glass is often recycled to make asphalt. i have to say that combination seems an awful lot like a city stet and not at all like the everglas. so cassandraray didn't cut her hand with a knife, did she? , she cut 'em on the pavement. why would anyone crawl down the road? she was running? she fell? (gasping) she's not covering for somebody. she's running from them. it's safer in custody. but to take a murder rap? who would make a person that scared? the russian mob.
3:06 am
horatio, i heard cassandra gray's confession was a dead end. you want me to release her? not just yet, frank. since both our vics were fighters, i checked out all the fight clubs, see where they train. any of them russian-owned? yeah. uh, an ivan sarnov, aegis fighting club. start there. (shouting in russian) (shouting in rusan) whoo! (men shouting in russian) beautiful! that's the way!
3:07 am
finish him! take him down! what are you doing?! my job. those badges are worthless in here, bro. weller, go cool off. go cool off. i'm sorry for his mouth, but he's correct, lieutenant. there are no laws being broken here. till now. i'm ivan sarnov. i own the aegis. everything is aboveboard. these men are all protected under a combative sports agreement. too bad andrew brodsky and vince koslov didn't have that same sort of protection. caine: yes, and in case you didn't know, mr. sarnov, both of those men were found dead in the everglades today. i'm sorry to hear that, but i didn't know these men. what is this? is this tattoo equipment?
3:08 am
look at this. this is the exact same stag's head we found on andrew brodsky's neck. (whirring) i run a clean club. what my men do outside my doors, i can't control. what is this? new mat? you don't mind, do you? look at that. h, we got dried blood here. in a fighting club, blood is an occupational hazard. a cut lip didn't produce that amount of blood, ivan. i suspect it came from several.
3:09 am
uh, it's a continuous pool. whathat means is it's from one donor. you are training killers here, aren't you? i think you have wasted enough of my time. did you get any results from the bod i found at the fight club? the one that you told me to drop everything for? yeah, that one. yes, sir. i'm running it through codis now. did you get any hits on andrew brodsky or vince koslov? no, it didn't match either reference sample, but let's see what codis tells us. (computer blips) the blood belongs to nathan madden. nathan madden. probably works for ivan, he's probably got a record. no, you know what, it's exactly the opposite. he was reported missing two days ago by his wife susan madden.
3:10 am
so she must've provided a reference sample to the department just in case. wolfe: their address is a yacht in wayside marina. i'll call h. thanks, natalia. yeah. h, yeah, we got a lead on the blood pool. susan madden? i'm susan madden. miami-dade police, ma'am. can i see some id? we're here about the missing persons report you filed on your husband. did you find him? we think he may be in some danger, ma'am. delko: we found traces of his blood at the aegis fighting club. we wanted to know why he might be at the club. i don't know. a man came to see nathan a couple days ago. you recognize this man? no.
3:11 am
i heard nathan say his name. weller. they were in an argument. get out of here, weller. it's gonna happen one way or the other. i will not let you do this. honey, what's going on? listen... i like that you're willing to fight for something. so i'm gonna give you a chance. how about we have a little bet? you win, we'll go away. we win, you do as we ask. you know what this wager was about? the last thing that he said was that he would never let anyone take our home away from us. honey, where are you going? you're scaring me. don't worry. i have to take care of something. be careful. he took off in our sport boat. it's the last time i saw him. i'm sorry. i...
3:12 am
i can't say anymore. you mean you won't say anymore. no, i can't say anymore. delko: well, it was one of ivan's guys at the fight club. why would he want to take madden's yacht? let's ask him. yeah, and i took on all the bigger, tougher ones. but now that mr. clean's got this new select-a-size magic eraser,
3:13 am
i mean, he can take on any size job. look how easily he gets things cleaned. it's enough to make you cry. you, specifically. not me. i'm just happy we don't go near rex's mobile home as often. because it's hard to clean or because you're scared of an itty-bitty doggy? [ dog barks ] aah! oh! [ clears throat ] yeah, that was a sneeze. i think i sprayed myself.

3:16 am
how's that possible? because the cupelo corporation is buying them. looks like it's some sort of an offshore company. so it's probably a shell. means it's gonna be next to impossible to get their records. this corporation is strong-arming the owners into selling their slips and then renting them back to them. so it looks legal, but it's extortion. i think our missing yacht owner was trying to buck the trend. he has the one slip that didn't sell. well, then now we know why he went down to the russian fight club. he was trying to keep them from taking his slip. he was last seen on his sport boat. let's put out a bolo. (over radio): yamaha 230 spotted in biscayne national park.
3:17 am
i think this is it. delko: there's no sign of nathan madden. you think that belongs to our missing boat owner? no. calleigh rushed dna testing and it's arterial spray. it's consistent with andrew brodsky's cod. (grunts) this is the boat that was at the ime scene in the everglades. maybe madden's still alive. i don't know, but we're gonna have to figure out who was on this boat. they might've missed the blood on the hull, but they definitely wiped down the inside. i've dusted the console, all of the railings. i'm not finding any usable prints. what's with the mirror, wolfe? it's gray carpet. if there were any shoeprints, we would've seen them already.
3:18 am
not if the dust particles are the same color as the carpet. okay, take the mirror and move it back, like, 20... 20 degrees, 20-degree angle. little bit more. back, back, and stop. stop it right there. see that? see, the light illuminates the front side of the dust particles. mirror's letting us see the other side because it's shadowing the dust against the light surface. now we lift them.
3:19 am
if this doesn't match, how many do we have left? two. but they both look like the patterns from the victim's shoes. (computer blips) this one doesn't. i think we got our killer's shoe. the brand is surf glide. let me check the known dealers. it's gonna be a long list. yeah. but we only need one. diver tech supply. where greg donner works. greg donner said that he sold the knife that killed vince to cassandra. but his was the only print on it.
3:20 am
now we can put him at the scene. a shoe print? (scoffs) a lot of people wear these shoes. not all of them have the same nick in the tread that you do. only your shoes were at the murder scene of andrew brodsky and vince koslov. we already have your fingerprints on the knife. i think we've been over that already. i sold it to that little... that little what, greg? we know you lied about selling the knife. it was business. didn't have anything against andrew, he just didn't follow orders. what are we doing all the way out here? sorry, andrew. you just d't have your priorities in the right order. no, no, come on, guys. look, i'm sorry. i don't know what...
3:21 am
so you had vce kill andrew. why stab vince?owling) vince was becoming a liability. he lacked subtlety. it's done. not quite. (grunting) in other words, you're russian mob. does "donner" sound russian to you? it's not your real name. yes, it is. no. you changed it to blend in. is that the new way of the bratva? subtlety? what the hell, i'm a dead man anyway, right? yeah, i'm bratva. you don't have the tattoos of a vor, so you don't call the shots. who ordered the hit?
3:22 am
i don't ask those questions. neither should you. what about this question: where's nathan madden? we know that you were on his boat. you mean the rich guy from the marina? i don't know. i just borrowed it while he was sparring at the fight club. i heard the idiot was fighting for his boat slip. my guess is he lost more than that. (grunting) no! please! (grunting) (grunting) who was he fighting? aw, gee, officer, i just don't know. all those big men at the gym-- they all look the same to me. so cassandra saw. that's why you lied to us about selling her the dive knife. she was a loose end needed tying.
3:23 am
figured you could flush her out for us. thanks. delko: get him out of here. well, we solved our everglades murder. now all we need to do is find nathan madden. they were very interested in cassandra. let's ask her. it turns out, miss gray, that we've apprehended mr. koslov's killer. so you have to let me go now, don't you? it seems clear that you confessed to us because you were afraid the mob was gonna kill you. i just thought i was safer in here. that's why i couldn't talk. yes, which is precisely why you need to talk now. no. it was easy for you to find me. it'll be easy for them, too.
3:24 am
tell me what happened. andrew and i were outside of his gym. now, you know what i want to do tonight? what's that? i want to go see a movie. (door opens) (loud thud) i didn't see him, but he saw us. i think andrew knew him. why do you say that? andrew's reaction. he wasn't surprised. and then they shared this look. like they recognized each other. and then andrew pulled me away. andrew, what the hell are you doing?
3:25 am
i'm sorry, but you saw. that body. i-i won't say anything, i swear. you don't have to do this. i got no choice! (whimpering) shut up! i love you. please. (gunshot) (yells) get as far away as you can. don't let them see you. i'm dead if they see you. (panting) which is why you were attempting to leave town. i went back to my place to grab some things. i thought i was careful, but someone must have seen me. it's my fault. he couldn't kill me, so they killed him. who's that? he's with the u.s. marshal service, miss gray, and the witness protection program. he's gonna help you disappear.
3:26 am

horatio gave her protection. she's got no reason left to lie. but still, it seems to lack sense to dispose of a body outside your own establishment. russians don't lack sense; they lack fear. best way to get caught. it's emp. it's trash day-- it could be in a landfill by now. (mechanical rumbling) or not. hey! hey! stop the lift! hey, hey! stop this! stop this. stop the dumpster. looks like cassandra was telling the truth.
3:30 am
(indisnct radio transmsion) where's calleigh? she went to the mari to notifhis wife. according to the id, this is nathan madden. wow, these guys really stop at nothing. they stab, they bite. now they beat. the means don't matter as long as it ends in death. the means matter to me. what are you thinking? they fight bare- fisted in there, which means the killer had his hands all over him. so with permission, i'm gonna dust the body for prints you realize that that's impossible without a fuming chamber, right? it's like you said-- different means, same ends. i mean, i can't fume him-- he's been out here too long at this point. if i can get even a wisp of a print to fluoresce... well, i'll let you get to it. ♪

3:33 am
wolfe: you wanted his million-dollar boat slip for ten grand. we found your fingerprints all over his body. this man you mention, nathan madden, was he a short man? (laughs softly) i remember him-- not a good fighter. and you're right, there was a lot of blood. i tried to help him when he fell. (gasping breaths) you'll be okay. you're all right. you'll be okay. (coughing, gasping) stay with me. help is on the way. you helped him into a dumpster after you beat him to death. but you know what? cassandra gray saw you. you mean andrew's girlfriend, yeah. you know, she's had some problems in the past. not a reliable witness. is there someone else who can corroborate this story? caine: ivan,
3:34 am
if you didn't kill nathan, who did? you remember the man fighting this afternoon? mm-hmm. jason weller? (grunting, yelling) i'll talk to him, make sure he turns himself in. and why would he do that, ivan? he trusts me, lieutenant. weller just got carried away; he's a good kid. who would follow your every command, including confessing to murder. whether you like it or not, jason weller's testimony will exonerate me. is that the man who killed my husband? his testimony confirms it.
3:35 am
am i gonna be safe? you are now. mrs. madden, if you have any problems, you don't hesitate to call me, okay? thank you, lieutenant. thank you, ma'am. a shame. he was one of my best. you trained him well, ivan. we live in a world where it's necessary to get results, lieutenant. well, then it turns out we share the same philosophy. what is it you are after? i'm after you, ivan, and i'm gonna get you.
