We get shots of New York’s drug scene. A pothead counts Monopoly money. A coke addict snorts it off some prostitute that looks like Amanda Bynes. Another guy snorts coke before going to a club where he takes some pills, one he gives to a woman via a kiss. The pothead opens the door and gets shot. The coke addict is about to score and gets shot. Our clubbing pill-popper drinks with some girls and gets shot. Danny gets the class filled scene. Lindsay and Stella get our coke addict. And Mac and Hawkes get the pothead—along with Flack.
Mac and Hawkes continue to investigate the pothead, whose Monopoly money was what he rolled his stuff in. He had an inhaler and was only known as Scooby but the apartment belongs to Michael Jones. Danny and Emmanuelle Vaugier deal with our clubbing druggie. The girls he was drinking with don’t recall the shooter but one does know where the gun went. Stella and Lindsay continue with our boxer-clad coke addict. They realize he was dumped and that car was the crime scene. Stella realizes the shooter was on the outside.
Everyone gets to see Sid! If only they weren’t dead. Adam rambles to Mac who has no clue what the tech is going on about. Adam gives him his pink slip, saying he’s leaving at the end of the month. They can’t let Adam go! I can use a dedicated yet devastatingly handsome lab tech! Call me! Mac however, can also use him and promises to deal with the pink slip.
Sid reveals that tox must’ve had a field day with these two—they were their own pharm party. Mac reveals he knows all three people. We cut to a court scene. The judge does some counting: 12 jurors, 1 ADA, 3 defense attorneys. No defendants. One attorney is about to speak up when Mac interrupts to let the court know the defendants are chilling out in the morgue.
Mac reveals he collected the evidence that was going to convict these three victims. The ADA reveals the victims were going to give her a name in a plea. She refused to release druggies back on the street but Mac says attorney-client privilege is over. She gives him the most likely to give up the name. Meanwhile, Danny unloads the glass on Adam, who rebuilds the bottles and glasses. Mac goes to talk to Michael Jones’ lawyer, Donovan. After a lawyer joke and bantering, he gives up some guy named Patrick. He asks Mac not to reveal he has a heart. Because you know they take it away once you pass the bar.
Danny works on the gun while some nice music plays in the background. Hawkes works on some of the Monopoly money. The gun comes back to the murder the three guys did. And the Monopoly was very special money—it was covered in drugs to enhance the marijuana. Apparently, this is what Patrick sells, according to Flack. He and Danny take a field trip to a playground. Patrick calls Flack and Danny the “murder police and the cleaning crew.” I like him. Flack flashes a Monopoly $100. Patrick smart-mouths and gets pushed off a swing. They tell him it was found on a dead guy. They figure it was jacked and he was getting revenge, but he says they were going to merge. He walks away with his CFO and COO.
Emmanuelle finds the crime scene and the prostitute, who doesn’t look like Amanda Bynes anymore. She pisses off Emmanuelle, who threatens to rat her out to her pimp. The prostitute can only describe someone in blue hoodie. She thought about calling 911 then went, “Mercedes-Benz. SWEET!” Especially since he was going to pay her in Monopoly money—she dumped it. Meanwhile, Mac’s yelling at the Chief for letting Adam go. Stella comes in during this and learns Adam is on the chopping block. Mac thinks holding off on some sweet technology for the lab. Stella’s like, “Umm…no.” She argues it could put a rapist away sooner. Mac argues the same. Meanwhile, Adam is eavesdropping.
Lindsay reveals the gun was also used to kill the guy the year before and had traces of Limonene on the handle—it’s in make-up, cleaning products and bio-fuel. Well, that narrows it down. Meanwhile, Stella finds the stun gun used on the three druggies. One traces back to a witness. Mac goes to find her and she’s all sliced up. The three druggies attacked her. That’s when she used the stun gun. Maggie’s brother is ready to beat Mac up since he promised she wouldn’t have to testify. Maggie’s more clear-headed than her brothers who can’t see that Mac’s just as confused about the subpoena. Wait…three brothers, one sliced up sister, three dead guys who did the slicing and dicing. I think I smell the murderers!
Mac asks the ADA why Maggie was called. Apparently, the evidence was suppressed because someone checked it out without signing the log. Mac’s upset and this is just proving that budget cuts are evil.
Petrix (Patrick) is the best suspect but some suit reveals he’s been trailing Petrix. Lindsay connects the gun found with the prostitute to Kevin, Maggie’s brother. Can I call it? They haul them in while Flack says if he had done it, the bodies wouldn’t be found. Danny reveals that the jury will be sympathetic and acquit. The brothers aren’t talking so they try to get more evidence. Mac sees Adam, leaves just as they get a hit. Turns out the brothers are innocent. It was the lawyers! Turns out Donovan worked Legal Aid and so had to give his finger prints, which left while gathering some liquid courage. He was impressed with Maggie and her decision to do the right thing. But he’s sure he’ll get off.
Meanwhile, everyone gives up one of their paid vacations to save Adam. I love Hawkes. “Turns out San Francisco is closed in January. Who knew?” San Fran, I can understand. But Costa Rica? Italy? Buenos Aires? C’mon.
No new episode next week? What? It’s November Sweeps!
