CSI:NY Season 10: 2013-11-17

EPISODE IX:

ONLY MISS THE SUN WHEN IT STARTS TO SNOW

Mac was standing in front of Angela struggling to identify fingerprints on documents Stella

"How is Adam?" Mac asked her

"He asked about Stella and you all the time!" Angela replied bending over the computer keyboard "Fortunately, the charred body was not Stella!" she took the scarlet pimpernel next to the documents of Stella "Have you watched carefully this pimpernel Mac?”

"I was hoping you'd tell me something!" he replied noting Angela look carefully at the flower

"This primrose is made of cloth!" she told him handing it to him "We have not even talked about the case to the press and we already have an emulator!"

Mac watched the primrose "I think here we have someone who wants to give us some clues! Shall we start from the corpse!" he turned to the photos and examined all the details "If we can get the identity of this person, we will have information about Stella”

Adam sat in his hospital bed looking out the window.

Mac walked into the room and watched him sigh with an expression worried and anxious "Hello Adam!"

"Mac!" he exclaimed turning "Tell me you've got some good news!"

"No, Adam! I have not managed to find Stella!" he said sitting beside him on a chair

"What happened to me?" Adam said with tears in his eyes "I remember that I was in the room and then I woke up two blocks from the department!"

"Calm down!" Mac smiled at him "We'll find out who made you shoved in a freezer to attract Stella in a trap!"

Adam scowled "I was the bait?!" he clenched his fists "I want him dead! Find him before they will resign me from the hospital, Mac, or I could not answer for my actions!"

"Adam, I talked to the doctors. You will be resigned tomorrow!" Mac said to him "You can lend us a hand with the case!" he said to him looking into his eyes "But you must promise me that you will do exactly what I tell you to do, when I will order it to you! Stella would not want you to do impulsive gestures!"

Adam nodded "Okay, okay!" he sighed looking Mac "I have feelings of guilt! I have brought her to risk her life!"

"Stella is still alive, Adam. Whoever next will be taken, however, he will not be so lucky!"

"The next he takes, he dies?!" Adam shuddered "When he's going to kill Stella?"

"From what I know, when Horatio and I are gonna be both dead!" Mac said frowning "It's a revenge that provides a sneaky role-playing and for the moment we're still playing by the rules of the Pimpernel!"

Adam had an idea "We will play with the -rules of Adam- as soon as I get out of here!” Mac peered at him "Let's have a meeting as soon as I get out of here!" Adam went on with a cynical smile "The Pimpernel will have big surprises from us!”

In the laboratory, Jo continued to receive suspicious emails who required to correct promptly.

Hawkes came in with the picture of the murder weapon "Here is our knife of ice!" he looked at the screen and was dumbfounded by what he saw "I thought that only computers in the lab and of the autopsy room were out to lunch!"

"What the hell is going on?" Jo asked looking at the computer to not respond to her commands.

Angela entered worried “Someone clever has slipped in the network and I cannot block him!" she snorted "You may know then, who watches over the boss's wife?"

Jo stood up and ran in the office of Mac "Oh no!" she exclaimed finding the office desert "Do not use the internal lines and do not touch the computer!"

Horatio appeared with Christine from the stairs

"What's wrong?" he asked in alarm

"Horatio! Christine!" Jo called them reassuring herself a bit "I was beginning to fear the worst!" she said hugging the wife of Mac "A hacker is shorting out the entire computer and telephone network of the building!"

"Jo! Come and see!" Sheldon yelled from down the hallway.

On each monitor was appearing the same message written in white on a red background scarlet:

-If you want any information about The Scarlet Pimpernel or Stella Bonasera, bring me 1.000.000 $ in a bag where you found the first dead! You’ve got two hours!-

"I'll call Mac, he must know it!" Jo said taking the mobile phone

"What I must know?" he said appearing behind them and seeing the monitor "Our tipster is not a good Samaritan!" he mused staring at that –You’ve got two hours!- "How long does it take to put together that amount?"

Danny rolled his eyes "Do you want to give in to blackmail?"

"He has locked the entire system to us, I want to take him and to do that I want to use this opportunity!" Mac exclaimed pointing at the screen "I will wring out him with more confidence if he is here in the department!" he turned to Jo "The meeting is postponed until tomorrow! Adam will give us a hand with the case and I want him to be properly informed!" he took by the way Jo and whispered her "I'm going effort to secure Christine!"

"How long will it take you?" she asked

"No more than two hours..." he said "Put the amount together, I warn Flack because he and his men to be ready! I want the informant alive!"

Christine and Mac got off the train that had brought them to Staten Island, she did not speak and remained to observe the suspicious look of Mac on anyone who would lay for too long time.

They walked for a few blocks, until reaching the colonial house that they had purchased

"Soon will come an escort too!" Mac said looking at the eyes of Christine a bit worried

"Mac!" Christine whispered pointing to a letter hanging with a red velvet rope to the handle of the door, he took it after he slipped latex gloves and began to read by sharing information with his wife

-Welcome home!

I know everything about you! You can’t run away!

No place will be safe! I will find you wherever you go!

The Scarlet Pimpernel-

Mac shivered "He is anticipating us!"

"What do we do now?" Christine asked "Are we the next in his plan?"

There was a gunshot. Mac protected Christine by forcing her with a maneuver in to crouch on the ground.

Not hearing other shots, Mac stood up and, while remaining in front of Christine, observed the hole left by the bullet in the wall of the house. He looked around, but everything was quiet. He took the pliers and pulled out the bullet from the wall, it was of large caliber. He realized that could be opened and pulled out a metal capsule inside which contained a message written on a slip of paper: "You'll find it out soon."

Mac became pale and looked around for the exact point from which the Pimpernel was watching them "Christine, stay close to me!" he said taking her hand "Stay behind me and call Jo!" he said passing the phone.

After a couple of rings she began to speak "Jo, we've just been shot!" she whispered on the phone

"What! How is Mac? Is he hurt? "Jo screamed terrified

"We're fine! The problem is that the Pimpernel is here and is watching us!" she said by noting Mac scrutinize every single colonial house within fifty yards and the few skyscrapers "Surely others have heard the shot, but they are all locked in the house!" Christine continued

"Flack is already moving! He will be with you in thirty minutes in the meantime continues to talk to me!" Jo told her to calm her

Mac beckoned Christine to pass him the phone "Jo, what did you find there?" he said after he brought the phone to his ear

"Here at the park we found a dead body signed by Pimpernel! This is our blackmailer / informant he's been dead for four hours!" Jo said "A hacker who, the Pimpernel called -The imposter- in his message!" she told him regretfully "I also have news on the body found last week : it is another victim of Pimpernel which, however, had been reported missing last month and recently the parents are disappeared!"

"So we're back to the starting point!" he said keeping an eye on the roofs.

Police sirens in the distance began to feel themselves "They've been quick!" Christine said reassuring herself

"I know the practice when some criminal sneaks into your home or finds the address! Will you put the home for sale?" Jo asked Mac to the phone

"I would say that yours is a useless question because you know the answer of it!" he said noting police cars move in front of them "I'll call you later!"

Flack got out and pointed the gun to the rooftops around "From where did this bastard shot?!"

"I swear that I'll find it out!" Mac said putting his hand to the gun too "Get in the car Christine, I got your back!"

Subsequent surveys in the surrounding buildings revealed the presence of gunpowder on the terrace of one of the skyscrapers and Mac was able to identify a potential weapon and with the handheld occurred in the database

"Someone stole an M40 to shoot!" he said to Horatio showing the search result "He could have killed me with one shot!"

"He didn’t do it because he wanted to scare you and send you a message!" Horatio replied noting the gunshot residue "Nothing cartridge case?"

Mac shook his head "He's really good to get rid of his tracks!"

"I wanted to tell you that I have to return in Miami for a while!" Horatio said with a sigh "My son is back in license and I wanted to spend time with him since my hour seems close!” Mac was shaken from it "You're not stupid! You understood everything!" Horatio retorted "Today's event has made it clear enough that he wants to keep for last!"

"You never told me of having a son!" Mac said standing up and taking off the gloves

"There are so many things we do not know about each other!" Horatio pointed out

"When do you leave?"

"Tonight! I will return to New York within a few days!" Horatio smiled walking toward the stairs

"And Calleigh? Doesn’t she come back with you?" Mac asked stopping the colleague of Miami

"No, she will be need more here!”

Mac nodded "Be careful and don’t get yourself caught!"

"I'll do my best!" he said leaving.

Adam made his entrance in the building of the Crime Lab and went immediately to the office of the Mac, he found him busy watching Christine sitting on the couch in his office.

"Boss!" Adam greeted him entering "Now there is me too!" Mac nodded and Christine smiled to see Adam healed.

"I would have sent someone to pick you up if you had communicated to me the time of your resignation!" Mac said to him

"Yesterday in the late Danny has passed, he told me that his shift began at 10:30 am and so he passed and got me!" he became serious "How can I help you to take that asshole?"

"Start by finding the IP addresses of the of hacker yesterday! Angela will give you all the instructions!" he said pointing to the colleague who fiddle around the PC in the office contiguous.

"No news about Stella?" he asked him in the doorway

Mac shook his head sighing "What worries me now is Horatio!"

"Danny told me that he returned to Miami! It's not safe for him! If the Pimpernel were to take him..."

"If the Pimpernel were to take him, he'll be the first to die!" Mac offered him the scheme of Maxwell's "Little anticipation before the meeting at 15.00!"

Adam looked at the pattern "If I think that I would have died if Stella not ... if she didn’t..." he gritted his teeth in the throes of anger.

"You can do something now Adam!" Mac said approaching him "You can go there on that computer and obtain information!” Adam frowned and Mac continued "Stella is waiting for us! She knows that we will come!"

Isabella sighed closing the last cold storage with the last dead body "Sheldon!" she called then with a folder in her hand "I know that you and Angela have passed the exam to become Detective second level, congratulations!"

Sheldon smiled "Thank you! I see here that you are trying to find out about our hacker! By the way, have you heard about the toxicological?"

"No, unfortunately! That madman makes first to strike again!" Isabella sighed leaning against the wall "You and Jo? Up as you go? With all that is going on you have little time for you!"

"I'm making friends with Ellie! You seem to appreciate me!" Sheldon smiled "But you? There is nobody?"

"At the moment ... no!" she admitted sheepishly "Or career or private life! I've already made my choice!"

Lindsay was examining the clothes the hacker "This guy was in a cooler!" she concluded watching Danny trying news on relatives of the boy charred "Did you hear me?" she asked him

"Yes, honey! Do you know where you should be now rather than to consider evidence?"

"Where would I be?" she asked putting her hands on her hips

"At home to rest!" he said to her protective

"My father didn’t care about me and you do it?" Lindsay laughed

Danny looked up from the file he was reading "He doesn’t care because he is not here, but in Montana and he doesn’t know what you're doing!"

Lindsay was about to reply when she saw Reed walking strode from the office of the Mac to the elevators "But what ...?"

Mac appeared behind him and at that point Danny also began to pay attention to the scene

"Reed! Wait! Let me explain!" Mac cried

"You lied to me! What else should I know? The truth is written in black and white on that file that your dangerous serial killer gave me!" the young man retorted loudly "My father is alive and is in jail because you put him there!"

"I know your father very well! Reynolds is a thief, a drug dealer and a criminal!” Mac explain to him

"But you didn’t tell me that! You could tell me that you found out he was my father!"

"I thought it was the right thing to do!" Mac retorted

Reed bit his lip and before he turned he said "You know what, Mac? Screw you!"

Lindsay still did not believe what she had seen and heard.

As soon as Reed went, Mac punched the wall leaving the sign and a trickle of blood came out of the knuckles of his right hand.

"Damn! Mac is really angry!" Lindsay commented

"I did not know that he had kept his mouth shut with Reed on that story!" Danny said.

Jo had seen the scene and went to Mac in the hallway "I understand your position Mac, but don’t tell him nothing was stupid! Now the Pimpernel will use your reaction as a weapon!"

Mac sighed "Forgive my behavior, it is as if the whole world was falling apart on me!"

Jo hugged him "We're all here to help you and then you have Christine and your son!"

Mac hugged her "I don’t want to lose Reed!"

"I understand! You'll see that he will switch it! He just needs to metabolize what happened!" Jo smiled

"I really hope you're right!" he commented and walked to the lab where Danny and Lindsay were watching the scene.

Mac came in taking off his jacket and put on his white lab coat "Any news?" he asked as if nothing had happened dabbing the hand with a paper towel

"On the charred victim's relatives, no!" Danny said showing him the files of two very normal American citizens with a complete clean criminal record

"The hackers, however, was in the same place of Adam! I found the same chemical components on the clothes except the DNA of the victim! For what little remains of the clothes..." Lindsay concluded showing him the remains of a red jersey.

Mac sighed, "Get ready to talk to the rest of the team and then go home and rest!"

"Are you starting too??" The woman snorted sarcastically "I'm taken with the kids! I'm not suffering from a mysterious virus!"

Mac half-smiled and shook his head.

Flack and Jaime were out together that afternoon and they met Angela sat at the bar sipping a cup of coffee impatiently

"Hey! Should not you be in front of a computer in the lab?" Jaime asked approaching with the companion

"Adam replaces me with dignity! He has already found an IP address to communicate to Mac!" she replied pushing away the empty cup

"Anyway, what are you doing here?" Flack said sitting down at the table

"I have a date!" she admitted "At this point, however, I believe that he won’t come!"

"Who won’t come?" Jaime asked sitting down on the other free chair

"Promise me you'll keep this secret from Mac especially," she said, lowering his voice

"Do not tell me that you go out with Reed!" Flack mischievous smile, the girl bit her lip

"No! With the stepson of the Big Boss!" Jaime laughed

"Nice friends! Thank you for giving joke! "Angela huffed crossing her arms and turning her gaze to the road

"Come on! Maybe he will come!" Flack said looking at the road "There he is! Look at that!" he observed him cross the street "He doesn’t seem quiet!" he concluded.

Angela stood up and ran to him "Can you tell me where were you?!"

In response he put his hand in a folder "That's where I was! To fight with Mac on the fact that he had lied to me about my father!"

Angela flipped through the folder as she headed for the table in the bar with Reed "That would be your father?" she said pointing to the picture "Flack, you know nothing about Reed's father?"

"We put him in jail in March, Mac and I, because he shot a cop!" he said to Angela "By mutual agreement we decided not to say anything to Reed!"

"Well, I want to know him! Take me to him!"

Mac listened patiently to Adam the meeting "I cannot do anything else and I'm so sorry! Besides the IP address, which led to a dead end, there is no other!"

Isabella stood up "Our hacker haven’t said much about the identity of Pimpernel and I don’t even know exactly if he died for bled or for hypothermia!" she looked at Mac with a sad face "I cannot actually do more!”

"All right, all right!" Mac sighed leaning on the chair "He will reappear, we just have to wait for his move!"

"I will warn Horatio of the fact that we haven’t discovered anything!" Calleigh commented getting up

"I think that both, you and Christine, require a rest!" Lindsay stepped in while everybody was getting ready to go out "Do you come to us for a few days?"

"We will not be a trouble?"

"Mac! These are not things to say!" Danny retorted offended

"All right then! We will spend the night with you!" Mac said looking at the phone “Horatio returns to New York tomorrow, there will be Eric Delko with him to replace Calleigh!"

"Apart from their trade on the job, they have nothing else to communicate inherent to the case?" Jo asked thoughtfully

"Only this!" Mac ruled placing the phone in the jacket

"I will go to Angela to learn of the powerful virus that has infected the computer thanks to the hacker dead!" Jo said going out for a secondary door

"We are all under pressure! The Pimpernel is reappeared again?" Mac asked in general

"No, we are waiting for a message from him!" Danny said "With Horatio in Miami I am more and more convinced that the next on the list is you!"

A bellman knocked on the glass door carrying a long rectangular package and entered the room "I have a delivery for Detective Mac Taylor!"

Mac was impressed "It's me! Who is the sender?" he said noting that there was no name on the card

"Detective, I just do deliveries! I don’t know truly what to say!" the boy said sadly.

Mac stared at the package on the table for a few seconds until he decided to open it, discarding the paper and then opening the cardboard box "Oh my God!" he said trembling "He also got Horatio!"

"What?" Danny asked in surprise "What's in that package?" Mac handed the pack to Danny and went out into the corridor.

Danny and Lindsay pulled away the tissue paper that covered a plastic bag "Oh shit!" Danny exclaimed

"Is that really an arm?" Lindsay asked shivering.

Mac and Christine stared at the empty office sat on the couch

"What will happen now?"

"I do not know Christine! Really! More I try to catch the Pimpernel and the more he escapes me!" Mac said in a sad tone "I lost a colleague and friend who could help me, and what is worse is that I have to tell it to Calleigh!"

Jo entered without knocking "The arm doesn’t belong to Horatio, but the clock yes and probably the messages that you have recived, they have not been shipped from Horatio!"

Christine shook "You mean he's still alive?"

"This is not known" Jo explained "Look what there was under the plastic wrap, Mac!"

"A scarlet pimpernel!" Mac ascertained, he looked into the eyes of Christine and he said turning "Jo, I need you to do me a favor with the FBI”

"What shall I do?" she asked

"You have to admit Christine in the witness protection program" he said lowering his eyes "I don’t care how you do it, just do it! Before tomorrow!"

"I will!" she said going away

Mac looked at Christine and saw her shudder and begin to cry "I want to stay with you! Do not send me away!"

"Do not cry! I want to protect you! You'll be fine with the baby! You will make it even without me!"

"But it's also your son! I do not want you ... we ... "she sobbed loudly and Mac took her in his arms "Don’t leave me Mac! I don’t want it!"

"I love you Christine!" Mac cried holding her "I wouldn’t it to end like this! There is no other solution! I want your own good!"

Jo was returning to the office with Hawkes and seeing the scene shook the hand of the Detective at her side "He is saying goodbye to her! I still cannot believe that he has made this decision!"

"He is saying goodbye to his son too!" Sheldon reminded her "Some time ago, he told me that he wished he could become a father! When he confessed to me and Flack that he had feelings for Christine, I thought he would finally be happy too!"

Jo watched the Mac’s tears fall unrelenting and his inability to break away from Christine and she said "We will pretend her death in a car accident tonight! I spoke with the FBI and I have to say it to Mac!"

"Don’t do it now! they are their last hours together! " Sheldon said looking at Mac who was crying

"What's going on here?" Calleigh asked, approaching "Why the newlyweds are in crisis?"

"Why Horatio was taken from primrose and because Mac has decided to protect his wife taking her away from him, she will start again to live far from here!"

Calleigh was surprised and shocked "How would be that Horatio was taken? He was in Miami with the rest of the team and his son! "

"Mac has received an arm with the watch Miami of Horatio and he is not found anywhere since this morning and not even throughout Florida," explained Jo

"I'll call Miami, to get more news," Calleigh said, heading for the stairs running.

Jo came in with Sheldon and Mac looked at her waiting for an explanation "Christine will be brought to New Jersey and will assume another identity! They planned everything and we will act tonight!" she turned to Christine "Your parents won’t ask questions!" she looked both "This means that you two won’t see you ever again! Mac Are you sure about what you do?"

"Yes, I'm sure!" he said looking Christine

"I'm not sure!" Christine objected "You cannot ask me to live with our son away from you knowing you in danger!"

"I do not want you to be in danger too, my love!" Mac explained "I'll protect you at any cost!"

"We are going to be at stake both, Mac!" Christine said sobbing "I want to share every day of my life with you!"

"Even I would do it!" Mac sighed

"Christine" Jo interjected "It's the only way that you have as Mac to be sure that you and your child are safe! When the Pimpernel will be brought to justice, perhaps, you will come back together!"

Sheldon walked over to Christine "All will be well! Mac will be fine and you too!"

"They will pass below the entrance at eleven p.m. This midnight you'll be on a plane to your new life!" Jo said.

Christine sighed and nodded sadly, Mac took her hand "We will spend the time we have left together!"

"We'll leave you alone!" Sheldon smiled melancholy coming out with Jo.

Reed was sitting with Angela on a bench in the park "I'm sorry for assaulting Mac! Now I have to apologize to him too!"

"You took time to understand that the Pimpernel wants to make him an easy prey!" she objected "Not only you'll have to apologize with him, you’ll tell him that you talked to your biological father and you will tell him the whole story!"

"Right! I am ready to assume the task of support him in this difficult time!" he smiled looking at the skyscrapers" The sun is sinking! Have you seen which wonderful show? Don’t you find it amazing!"

Angela smiled "For once we agree!" she tapped the index on his shoulder "Let's have dinner together?"

"Yes, if you tell me if the Detectives Flack and Lovato know something about us!"

"They know! They promised to held the secret!"

"I hope so! Mac has already sensed something but I won’t tell him the truth!" Reed said standing up "I'm embarrassed!"

Angela laughed and took his hand.

Mac looked at the darkness peep from the windows of his office, clutching Christine and looking into her eyes "Time to go!"

"Then you should loosen the embrace!" she said caressing his shoulder

"I do not want to! I know it was mine idea, but now..." he said holding her doubly "I don’t want you to leave!"

"You're a little inconsistent Mac!" she pointed out "Before you were so sure of your plan!"

"I know and you were the one who didn’t want to leave!"

"Mac!" Lindsay said knocking on the door "Can I come in?"

"Come in!" he said deep in thought "A pile of doubts are coming to me!"

"You did the right thing!" Lindsay said "You cannot take the Pimpernel and at the same time protect her and your son!"

Danny came on the door "Mac, Flack called! There is a message of Pimpernel for you in audio format, he has already examined it and it seems that Stella and Horatio are both alive!" then he turned Christine "I have orders to take you down when you're ready!"

"Soon I’ll come!" Christine said running a hand through her hair and seeing Danny leave. She turned to the Mac who looked at her "We have to say goodbye!"

"I'm not good at these things!" he took her hand and hugged her "This is not a goodbye!"

"No! It's a see you soon!" Christine smiled with tears in his eyes "I'm ready!" she said turning to Lindsay

"Well! I’ll accompany you to Danny!" she said going out followed by Christine

"Wait!" Mac said taking her hand "When he is born, promise me that somehow you'll do it know to me!"

"And you have to take care of my parents and tell them that I love them!"

"Discover you dead in a car crash will be a shock to them!" Mac told her "I'll be close to your parents! I promise you that!" and he kissed her gently on the lips "Now go!"

Christine turned one last time just past the door, looking at her husband smiling at her.

Christine was with Lindsay on the stairs

"Promise me that you care Mac!" Christine said glimpsing the output of the palace "I'll reappear only when the baby will be born! Mac made me promise that!"

Lindsay nodded "You'll use the famous code that he already uses with Reed I guess!"

"The little that I have learned I hope will be enough for me!" she smiled.

Jo was waiting next to the car, a black Volvo V40, alongside Danny "Are you ready?"

"Yes!"

Danny opened the door "Have a nice trip!"

"Come on! Get on!" Jo invited her "We don’t have much time!"

Christine turned toward the windows where Mac had the office, he was looking out at her even though she could not see him. Christine sighed and got into the car.

Jo leaned toward the window of the driver "You look like a clever agent! Try to arrive on time at JFK! That flight was anticipated at a quarter to midnight and won’t wait for long!"

The girl driving nodded without saying anything and put the car in motion.

"See you soon Christine!" Jo said to the woman sitting in the back seat

"You and Lindsay have to take care of Mac! He will have a difficult period!" she explained "You're a friend!" she said as the car started.

Flack and Adam watched a video message "We have seen at least six times, Adam! What do you hope to find? Rather, you focus on the address... what's his name?"

"IP! I’ll find it lather!" he said stopping and rewinding the movie at the beginning "Look at signboard at the beginning: -I wanna do bad things with you!-" he said pausing "It's definitely the handwriting of a woman!"

"And from what do you understand it?" Flack asked doubtfully

"It's ornamental and tends to press on the cardboard: it means safety! She leaves no margin to the left: she is tied to the past!" he said gesturing with his pen in his hand "Look how the letters tend upwards, how they are angular! It's another sign: she believes in what she does and she's selfish! It also has a tilt reversed: it is a bad sign because it is a symptom of closing affective and intellectual resistance against the other and the stimuli that surround her!”

"From what little I understand, you're talking about a crazy complexed!" Flack exclaimed "We will wait for Mac and that there of Miami! But the history of writing you explain it by yourself!"

Adam started again the video and stopped it on a frame when Stella was filmed as she tried to open the chain with tears in her eyes, the image was filmed with infrared and was poor quality, but Adam could not do without to stare at it "I'll find you! Whatever it costs, I'll find you!"

Mac suddenly appeared behind him "I promised you that we would find it and we will do!" Adam gasped "Let me hear the audio recording," continued Mac

"Actually, it's a video! Danny must have been confused!" Adam said "I’ll tell you lather about the personality of our subject! We now know with certainty that it is a woman!" he said bringing back the video to the beginning.

Mac looked at the initial frame and then the recording of the infrared:

"Horatio?"

Mac's face darkened and thoughtful to hear Stella's voice raspy and lower than normal

"Stella?! Thank goodness you're okay!"

Adam gritted his teeth

"How do you feel? Are you hurt?"

Flack stared at the screen with an angry look

"I'm fine! How long have you tied there?"

"From today! Before I was in a tight closet! I had just to breathe the air! I cannot rid!"

"Don’t shake like that! For sure they will find us! "

"It is best that you keep quiet about what you have discovered Horatio!"

"He is enjoying the show!"

"How is Mac?"

Mac lifted slightly from the chair where he was sitting

"In anxiety for his wife and on constant alert for anything! But you do not know that Adam is working hard to look for you!"

"Are you telling me that Adam is alive?"

"Yes!"

The video abruptly interrupted and Mac saw a small white writing in the background “Back slightly backward Adam!" the writing was another message:

“Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are?”

Adam had a temper tantrum "If that bitch touches her, I swear that I break her face!"

"You wouldn’t be able!" Flack replied laughing "She has put you in a freezer! You forgot it?"

Adam turned with the chair to Flack who was standing leaning against the door "What I wouldn’t be able to do?"

"Adam, calm down!" Mac intimated

"Asshole Detective first grade!" he growled through clenched teeth

"What!" Flack replied "Now I'll fix you Ross!"

Adam rushed like a fury to upon Flack, hitting him repeatedly with kicks and punches that were not going to sign

"Stop it now!" Mac ordered standing up and trying to get in the way "The first of you who throws a punch to me is off the case!"

"I know you won’t suspends neither of us because we serve to you, who do you think you fooling, you fool?!" Flack yelled pulling a punch that Mac dodged and ended straight on the nose of Adam

"You made me really pissed off Flack!" Adam said trying to get to get your hands around the neck of the Homicide Detective without regard of Mac who lay between them.

Hawkes, seeing the scene from outside, broke into the office and took Adam from behind, allowing Mac to focus on stopping Flack

"Stop it now!" Mac ordered imperative

"He started it!" Adam thundered

"I teased you! You're the one who insulted me!" Flack retorted

"Does it seems the best way to fix things in your opinion?" Hawkes asked "You look like two kids in kindergarten!"

"Think yourself lucky I won’t write anything about what just happened and I cannot remove you from the case!" Mac said letting go Flack "Now let's work!"

Flack saw the face of Mac getting serious and ask them "Have you noticed the quote in the video?"

"I do, Mac!" a familiar voice behind him said "-Saw-"

Mac turned and smiled, "Reed!"

"I wanted to apologize for how I treated you, but believe me I was really freaked out!" he said looking into his eyes

"No, I should tell you everything from the beginning!" Mac was interrupted by the phone ringing and answered with the hands-free "Detective Taylor!"

"Detective Bowen! I have to inform you of a fact about your wife took place less than half an hour ago!" the man on the other end of the phone answered

"I'm listening! What is it? "Mac asked

"A bad car accident and I should ask you to identify the body!" the man said with a tone of embarrassment “They will take her to the morgue soon!"

"All right! I'll be there!" Mac answered with a trembling voice

"I'm really sorry!" the detective said closing the communication.

Reed and everyone looked at Mac tremble and lean against the desk.

Sheldon was peering Jo intently watching the computer on the other side of the desk in the office of her

"Yes!" she exulted raising a fist upward with a smile

"What happened?" Reed asked approaching

"Where did you appear?" Sheldon asked

"Mac dumped me here as soon as he went down to the morgue! What's going on?"

"A new tool for the investigation comes!" Jo said hastily

"You will take the Pimpernel now?" he asked

"We'll see Reed!" Sheldon said looking at the screen and recognizing the coded message from FBI. A satisfied smile escaped him reading the whole message.

Jaime came to the three "So?"

"The package arrived and it was just retired!" Jo said closing the screen

"Really? Unfortunately Mac will have to wait to hear the good news! A certain Andrew Davis has escaped from prison and left a message in the cell!"

"It was not enough the Pimpernel! We also wanted the return of the stalker!" Sheldon snorted "Have you tried contacting Mac?"

Jo had a surprised look "Who is Andrew Davis?"

"I've already done that! He's coming here!" Jaime said in response to Sheldon "Now I also want to know who is Andrew Davis!"

"Since you're the only one here to learn about the history, Sheldon, why don’t you tell us?" Reed asked.

Mac had come out immediately after identifying the body and had arrived at the bar a ten minutes by car from the lab. He saw a man with a beard who was staring at him and approached him "Andy?"

"We meet again Mac!" the man smiled "My condolences for your wife! It must be terrible to be left alone for a second time!"

"You should be in jail!"

"Sorry Mac! I will not come back to it!" he smiled malicious trying to adjust his shirt

"What are you hiding under the shirt?"

"Take me to the crime lab or I won’t tell you anything about the Pimpernel!" he replied

"First tell me what you have under there!"

"A bomb, the timer is activated as soon the one there dumped me out of the car. The only way I can unlock it and save my ass is going to the 5885 Broadway!"

"Come in the car! Let's see what we are left!" Mac said.

He opened the door of the black SUV and made up Andrew and lifted his sweater "Half an hour! We must hurry!" and he sat to driving pressed the accelerator and turned on the siren" You know that thing on your chest could blow up half of the neighborhood?"

"She told me to tell you that a certain Horatio is a dead man walking! That within a month or so he will be definitely dead!"

Mac looked at him with a cold stare through an intersection and nailed in front of the palace of the Scientific and put his gun "Now the bomb is disabled, but, if you want to be sure to survive, come down and enter inside with me! We need to have a chat!"

Andrew followed him inside the building "I well remember where is your office: 35th floor! Who would have thought that you would have gotten so high?"

"Stop it!" Mac said through clenched teeth.

Flack began to look the bomb on the chest of Andrew with interest "What are you going to do Mac?"

"We detect to Danny and Lindsay some fingerprint!"

"She has used gloves! How do I have to say it?" Andrew huffed

"Dear Andy, I'm sorry but now you have to let us do our job!" Flack smiled

"A subtle and well-made bomb!" Mac commented

Danny walked into the office "If I didn’t know that we are seeking a woman, I would hypothesize it now!" he said pulling out a brush from the inside pocket of his coat "Stand still!" he passed the brush over the entire surface "No fingerprints and no residue!"

"What did I tell you? Now please disarmed it at all!"

"Meanwhile, tell us of your fantastic -farewell message- !" Flack said while Mac approached to remove the detonator

"Read vertically!" Andrew said looking at the face of Mac "The message is for you!"

"He knew you'd failed!" Mac said when Flack showed him the letter on an A4 sheet as he continued to tinker with the bomb.

-See you on the Statue of Liberty- was the message taken from the original text

-Stairs leading to the exit? I've just used them to leave ...

Everything I’m telling you now, it will be used against me!

Everything I’m doing is the result of revenge!

You know you'll get from you, and I will conclude what I started!

Our last meeting was before you throw me in here!

Until you're dead I will not rest!

Our next meeting you will die!
