CSI: New York Recap 4.19 - Personal Foul
Air Date: 7 May 2008
The Cabbie Killer leaves another victim.
Danny and Don are at a basketball game. A fan –Dugan Stipe- is selected to make a half-court shot to win $1,000,000. He makes his way to the floor, getting kissed by all the cheerleaders on the way. Seconds after he –amazingly- makes the shot, though, he collapses and dies. Danny and Don go down to the floor. Stipe’s face shows signs of poisoning. Something quick, though, since he looked fine less than a minute before he died.
The team finds that Stipe was a season ticket holder. Danny finds blood splattered on one of the seats in Stipe’s row.
Mac and Stella are on the scene of the cabbie killer’s latest body dumping. Mac notices the fountain had been emptied already. They find the cleaner, and take the yet-uncleaned
The victim had been poisoned with atropine (Nightshade), at a very potent dosage. No inhalation or punctures. He had consumed a considerable quantity of arena food and beer. He also displayed 12 lip prints on his face, from the cheerleaders. They determine which lip prints were the source of the atropine.

Reed calls Mac’s cellphone, trying to get information on the Cabbie Killer.
The blood from the bleachers matches Lamont Henford, an arena vendor, on parole. A couple weeks earlier, Lamont had fought with Stipe in the stands. Stipe had embarrassed him, loudly pointing out that Lamont’s fly was open. Lamont shoved him. Stipe gave Lamont Henford a fat lip –and splattered some of his blood on the seat.
At a station steps press conference, Reed asks Mac if he would take a New York cab, right now. Mac responds, “No.” Afterwards, Jordan chastises Mac for his statement, even threatening to relieve him of his duties, if he insists on scaring people from taking cabs.
Sheldon and Stella go over the trademarks of the Cabbie Killer: carbon monoxide poisoning and scratch markings on the back of the neck. They discover peculiar bird droppings on the tarp that lead them to Kings County College, the home to a non-indigenous flock of parrots. Nearby, they find the construction site where the tarps have come from.
The team wonders, if the poison was on the her lips, why isn’t the cheerleader dead, too. Paula Tolomeo’s lip print matches the tainted one from Stipe.
The team discovers a magnet used to track taxis on a metallic wall map. They find that only one company still uses that method, instead of more modern electronics –Zenith Taxi. One guy knocked a bunch of them off the board, when he punched the wall, angry over not making his lease for the month. Huggs finds DNA in the punched out hole, DNA that matches that from an unsolved murder.
Mac is moved and pensive, thanks to the Cabbie Killer. He tells Stella about his phone call with one of the widows. He said the kicker was that she couldn’t have been sweeter. She even thanked him.
The team watches the video of the arena incident. They notice that Paula had announced a different seat from the one she drew.
Stella and Sheldon isolate a sample of, supposedly, the Cabbie Killer’s blood. They find traces of a psychotropic medication.
The team searches Paula’s apartment. It’s a very nice place for a cheerleader with no roommate. They find calabar beans and belladonna plants. Lindsay indicates that she could have created an antidote from the calabar beans, along with the poison from the belladonna. They find a photo of an obese woman on the fridge, but the manager said that Paula lived there alone.
Mac chastises Reed for making up a story. Mac tells him to watch who he messes with. Then, Reed receives a text message telling him where to go to find out more about the cabbie killer.
Lindsay determines that the obese woman from the photo on the fridge is Paula. She admits that, two years earlier, Stipe taunted her in the stands during a game. She swore to do whatever it took to lose weight, get on the cheerleading squad, and poison him. [Not at all crazy.]
Reed finds the train station locked, and gets a cab. Rather, it’s the Cabbie Killer with his next victim.
