CSI New York Episode XIII Season 10

EPISODE XIII: OLD YOUTH OF AMERICA

Mac was in his office, the clock showed 9:00 am, the slate of glass was covered with a white sheet and, before him, his entire team was gathered

"You have been called here today because this case requires your full attention tonight! It is a matter of utmost importance and marks a turning point" everyone looked at him raise the white paper "The counter-attack!" and he pointed to on the blackboard the football field drawn in detail "Only then we can beat the Department of the brigade fire!" he looked into the eyes of team members "If we don’t win the match I’ll halve to you the salaries! Is that clear?" the team nodded

"So, the new regulation provides for mixed teams. Sheldon to center field, Jaime on the right wing and Angela on the left. Flack you remain as the only central striker, since I don’t play, please score!" he turned to Danny "If you play with glasses bind them to you! Do not be like in 2004, you went to parry in the locker room!" he turned to the six Flack’s policemen "You others, do wall in defense!" he scanned the faces of colleagues and smiled "Are you all ready?"

"Yes!" was the unanimous cry that lift up in the office.

Mac began to beat his hands on the table and everyone followed him beating up the heel of the right shoe on the ground.

In the evening, Mac was sitting on the sidelines to give advice "Pass it to Flack! Jaime pass it to Flack!" and the ball was stolen by one of the firefighters who managed to tally all the opponents, dangerously approaching the goal of the NYPD and then to shoot. Danny threw himself into the air and managed to save it.

"Well done Danny!" Lindsay yelled from the stands standing and next to her Christine and Jo rejoiced clapping.

The match continued with a one to zero of the NYPD, thanks to a great goal by Flack, which unfortunately became, in the first part of the second half, a one to one and fifteen minutes from the end a one to two for the Fire Department of New York.

Mac had already put his hands in her hair. A few minutes from the end, Flack was landed and the referee announced the penalty for the NYPD.

Mac straightened up "Let’s drew and then let’s knackered  them on penalties!"

Sheldon was chosen to take the penalty and approached Flack with a smile "Now I make the Panenka kick!"

"No Hawkes! Please!" Flack begged him to no avail and then turned back to Mac who made ​​a gesture with his hand to ask for an explanation of what was happening. Flack spread his arms and pointed with concern to Sheldon who was placing the ball on the penalty spot.

Mac looked the other way, to not see, and closed his eyes while behind him Sheldon shot into the goal.

The goalkeeper of the firefighters took the ball on the fly.

"No!" was the cry that went up from the tribune of the NYPD, Mac put his both hands on his face and began to shake his head.

Two whistle of the arbitrator announced the end of the match.

Flack came to Sheldon with outstretched hands to his neck, but he withdrew them immediately.

The new head of the fire brigade came to Mac and smiled "Even this year, the victory is ours! It will get better next year for you!"

Mac walked into the locker room with a dark expression "Congratulations! Do you know how long is that we do not win a football match? Fourteen years! I won by chance a game of Baseball in 1998 and one American Football in 2000! This summer, no excuses! Who does not work trains!"

Sinclair came clapping "Congratulations! Because of you, the heads of Bureau want me to pay for dinner! By the way! There is a murder waiting to be solved! Lieutenant, I wish you the best in the job!"

Jo and Mac looked at the victim and found hard to believe their eyes

"They killed Spider-Man?" Jo said looking at Mac putting on his gloves and switch the flashlight on for bending over the corpse "C’mon that we’ll beat them next year for sure!"

"Actually, I was not thinking already more to the match!" Mac said taking samples of blood around the victim with a swab "Thanks for reminding me that we lost through the fault of Sheldon!"

"Mac! It's a friendly match!" Jo said trying other tracks "It seems that he has been dropped from the Empire!"

"It remains to determine from what height!" Mac said standing up and looking upward "Have we got witnesses?"

"Flack and Jaime are already querying them! Later we will know something!" Jo said "What are you thinking Mac?"

"That we're dealing with something more than a simple murder!" he said observing a man by the icy stare with a long jacket, brown hair perfectly combed back and mentioned white beard on his face coming toward them.

Jo studied him from afar "He does not look American!"

As soon as the man approached, smiled at the two and pulled out its distinctive

"I am the Commissioner Marc Andrea Mancini, Italian police! That boy is the reason why I'm here!" he said pointing at him.

Mac began to look at him "How are you connected to the boy?"

"I'm investigating his father! He is a well-known gangster of these parts: Roger Parker! He makes back and forth Milan to New York one week yes and two no!"

Mac peered at him "Why are you here?"

"Because he skipped a week! I was curious to see if he had business going on here and so I asked a lot of permits to investigate!"

Jo nodded "At this point it is better if we introduce ourselves! Detective Josephine Danville!" she said holding out her hand

"Lieutenant Mac Taylor!" the colleague mimicked her

"I hope that our cooperation will be very good!" the Commissioner smiled.

Jo received an SMS on her mobile "They found a seven year old girl and an adult died on the George Washington Bridge! Do you excuse me?"

"Take it easy, Jo! I will think about this case with the Italian colleague!"

Danny passed under the yellow tape that delimited on the highway the crime scene. He took a couple of pictures to blood stains and Lindsay, who followed him, stooped to pick up the samples.

Danny went on and saw Jo bent over the girl's body with Isabella and Sheldon on the man

"Beautiful night to investigate a case!"

"You have been assigned to this case, Danny?" Sheldon asked

"Yes! Why? "

"Because Mac is struggling with an Italian colleague and maybe it suits him someone who speaks the language a bit..." Jo answered

Danny smiled "Even Mac has very far Italian origins from his mother's side! If you want I'll tell you how I found it out!"

Jo stood up "Can we talk later of the various generational DNA and focus us on those of the victims now?"

"The cause of death is clear! I do not need to do an autopsy to tell you how they died! I just need to extract the bullets!" Isabella snorted

"About the streaks of tires instead? What do we know?" Lindsay asked approaching the team indicating them

"Nothing!" Jo said "I would say to go back to the lab and start with those!"

"That's great! I take care of the bullets!" Sheldon smiled

"I'll take the comparison of bullets! The ones of ballistics will be pleased to hear shoot at midnight!" Danny smiled

"My job will be to identify victims and to analyze DNA samples!" Lindsay smiled.

Jo smiled and took off the gloves "We are just an excellent team!"

Mac opened the door, making as little noise as possible, and accommodated the visitor

"Please, I believe that my children just fell asleep!"

"I have three little kids! I understand the situation!" the Commissioner Mancini said stepping and looking at the lights on in the room "But I reckon that you're wrong about the fact that they are sleeping!"

Mac stepped forward and saw Christine sitting on the couch with McKenna in her arms.

He smiled and knelt beside her "What takes him at this hour?"

"Sleeplessness Mac! I have to change him as well!"

"I'll do it!" he smiled

"Please! Don’t wake Faith!" Christine begged him to then turn her attention to the host "Good evening!"

"Good evening!" the Commissioner Mancini greeted her with kindness "Apparently, Lieutenant Taylor is a responsible parent! I've never had the courage to change one of my children!"

"When he works, he sees worst things!" Christine smiled standing up "My name is Christine!"

"Commissioner Marc Andrea Mancini!" he said clutching the hand of Christine

"I had guessed from the pronunciation that you weren’t American!"

"I'm from Milan! Well, actually I was born in Rome!" he smiled telling "Milan has become my home when I was transferred for work! I deal with Organized Crime!"

Mac returned without the baby "He fell asleep!"

"Little kids, little problems! The fact that when they grow up, even though the problems grow mustn’t scare you!" the Commissioner smiled "We end up discussing Peter Parker and then we go to sleep!"

"Besides the fact that his father was connected with an Italian mafia family, is there anything else?" Mac asked

"If you mean with -anything else- trafficking heroin and cocaine in Columbia University, yes! There's something else!" the Commissioner said sitting down "Peter Parker peddled on behalf of his father!"

"They are American illegal activities, why Italy it is involved in them?"

"The merchandise comes from Italy!" Mancini explained "I made the charge of the sale to arrest, but he was a small fish and he has been released because the offense has fallen into the prescription!"

"So now...”

"Now, our friend came to America to look for Roger Parker to have a -compensation for damages-, but he has found Peter... I know for sure that it was him to drop the guy from the Empire State Building!"

Peyton looked at the boy lying on his table and sighed, beginning to take off the Spider-Man costume. She watched every detail of the skin with the torch, she noticed a hematoma behind the neck and took photos.

Few moments later Mac and the Commissioner Mancini entered

"Good morning, Mac! I didn’t expect to see you arrive with someone!" she greeted him

"Peyton, this is one of our Italian colleague! He works with us at the case!"

"Commissioner Marc Andrea Mancini!"

"Pleased to make your acquaintance!" Peyton smiled "Your victim is not dead after the fall! Someone had hit him in the neck before with a heavy object that has left a precise form: a straight line! The neck was broken before touching the ground! The nose, teeth, arms and legs have been fractured and broken after death!" she said showing the marks on the body "What is striking about it is the white powdery substance that I found inside the collar of the costume: chalk!"

"The pedestal of a chalk statue is the murder weapon?" the Commissioner Mancini said shocked

"Excellent deduction! I'm surprised you haven’t had it Mac!"

"It's called -courtesy to the host-! You know me by quite a bit time Peyton!" Mac smiled "We have why, we have how and when ... what and the subject are lacking!"

"So much, I already know that with the latest information that will give you have already the primal scene!" Peyton smiled "Given the damage, the height from which Spider-Man is fallen is 373.5 meters! I simplify down your life by telling you that it is around the hundredth floor!"

"Thanks for the help Peyton!"

"Don’t mention it Mac!" Peyton smiled "You’ll receive soon even tox! Goodbye, Commissioner!"

Flack was already there at the door ready to stop Mac and the Italian colleague

"Who gave a party last night at the Empire State Building?"

"Enlighten me!" Mac said walking with the Commissioner Mancini at his side.

Flack did not ask for any better "The Greater New York Councils!"

"The plan where Parker was killed is too high! He could not be there for the event!"

"Instead, he was there for that reason! All participants were at the party dressed as superheroes, rigorously Marvel ones!" Flack explained " However, none of them saw nothing!" he said taking a different direction

"Don’t you come upstairs?"

"I have to reach Jaime and give her a bad news on the case she's working with Jo! If there are any updates contact me!"

Jo looked Angela at the computer "So? Did you manage that?"

"Yes! I calculated all the possible combinations, but I don’t know what they could have done since yesterday evening to today! They could have disposed of the car and have taken another!"

Jo walked back and forth to the lab "If only they weren’t fugitives! What came to mind to those of the prison to transfer them both!"

"When we discovered the two bodies on the bridge, I wasn’t thinking we would have had to deal with a so long trail of blood!"

Lindsay came into the lab with Danny "Flack told us that he had communicated to Jaime that we are dealing with two prisoners on the run!"

"That's right and we just found the bodies of two police officers who were in the car with them and other four of the police cruiser escort" Jo explained

"Which car are we looking for?" Danny asked

"Bmw X6!" Jo said "As soon as someone will let us know something, we will follow the track!"

"The guns used to kill Larry Porter and his daughter belong to the dead policemen!" Danny said

"The DNA samples belong only to the victims!" Lindsay said

"We know their names. The brothers Servillo without documents cannot go anywhere! I hope them to commit the mistake of being located!" Angela said looking at the computer "A stolen credit card was just used to the border with New Jersey in a clothing store for men! I’ll connect me security camera!" and on the screen appeared the two men wanted

"We're lucky!" Jo smiled

"I take the car!" Danny hastened to say "Lindsay go by helicopter with Jo!"

"Warn Flack!" Lindsay yelled "Don’t go alone!"

"I have already sent the alert! Be quick!" Angela said.

Mac and the Commissioner Mancini reached the lab and watched Angela give instructions to the microphone "Jo! They informed me that they had in those parts their lair! Beware! They might have weapons!"

"What's going on?" the Commissioner Mancini churches

"We'll find out soon!" Mac said.

Angela continued to look at the computer "Danny be careful! They have a bazooka! Get out of there!"

The car swerved as soon as the missile was launched and behind it, after the explosion, the flames rose higher.

Danny leaned out the window and took aim at the wheels of the car and managed to hit the right one.

The car ended off the road with two criminals and the police could surround it. The brothers Servillo went out raising their hands and they were handcuffed.

Angela from the lab looked at the scene and smiled "Well done guys!"

Mac clapped his hands observing the work of his team "Angela! When Danny comes back, send him to my office! "

"It will be done great chief!" Angela smiled.

Mac took ​​by the Commissioner Mancini “Do you know how to carry out the investigations of the Crime Lab?"

"Actually, no! I have a degree in biology, but I never analyzed anything in my entire career! You can be a Commissioner or a Scientist!"

"Let's get the lab coats and analyze the victim's clothes!" Mac smiled throwing one of them to the Commissioner

"With great pleasure! I hope I still remember how to do it!"

The two went into the lab and scattered on the table the victim's clothes.

Mac took the biggest part of the costume, while the commissioner touched gloves, shoes and mask.

Both found tracks and began to insert them into the spectroscope. When the printer printed out the results of Mac, there appeared a spectrum analyzed by the Commissioner on the screen

"Did you find anything?" Mac asked approaching with his result

"The chalk dust and the resin of a plant on the right glove ... I still have not figured out what species it belongs to..."

Mac smiled "Do the work program in your place!" he said pressing the keyboard

"Technology is a beautiful thing!" the Commissioner Mancini commented looking up the result "Oleander!" he paused thoughtfully "It makes no sense!"

"Why?" Mac asked

"Roger Parker has oleanders on the terrace of his villa! Charles Salieri, the man who had been arrested, has never been to the home of Parker! I was wrong to think in advance that it was he who had committed the murder! We absolutely have to analyze the scene of the crime!"

"Then let's find out the truth!"

Jo stepped pleased in the lab

"Hey Jo!" Sheldon stopped her in the hallway "Why didn’t you notified me that you were going to chase the two culprits?"

"Because I was forced to act in a hurry and I'd like you to note that I was careful!"

"We're still not a hundred percent sure that you are pregnant and you already want to get into trouble, risking losing the baby?" he asked following her into the hallway.

Jo turned to him and smiled "You don’t have to worry about anything!" and she closed the door of her office.

Danny and Lindsay appeared from around the corner with an amused smile

"She shut you out, huh?" He smiled squeezing his wife "We're going home to our children, since there is no Mac. If he were to come back, tell him to call me!"

"Do not worry for Jo, Sheldon! She can take care of herself!" Lindsay smiled friendly.

Mac looked out the window of the Empire State Building

"I'm sure that here is our crime scene!"

The Commissioner Mancini saw a piece of chalk with his flashlight and hurried to take it with pliers "Something tells me you're not wrong!"

Mac passed black powder, with a brush, on the window sill

"Two sets of fingerprints: one corresponds to the gloves, while the other is new!" he withdrew the fingerprints and began to be envelop the various evidences "This place is really too much in order!"

"Lieutenant, we do not have witnesses! If we want to arrest the culprit, we must dedicate ourselves to this place!"

"This place has nothing more to offer us!" Mac said "We have to work with what we have!" he said taking a fiber entangled in the handle of the window "This is the last thing that remains to us!"

Leaving the Empire, Mac and the Commissioner looked around

"I thought the car was here!" the Commissioner Mancini exclaimed shocked

"It was here!" Mac said walking toward a homeless man sitting on a bench

"And now what he wants to do?" the Commissioner asked to himself.

Mac walked over to the homeless

"Hey! The car that was parked there, do you know what happened to it?"

"They took it, two with a tow truck! If you're lucky it can be found at the store!" the man replied

"This thing in Italy would never have happened!" the Commissioner Mancini smiled

"Here we are in America! I’ll got told off for it from my boss... let's take the subway! At 5885 Broadway, Manhattan, we will not get there on foot!"

Flack and Jaime looked at Mac advance alone in their direction

"Hello, Mac!" Flack greeted him "You look like someone who needs a favor!"

"It is so!" Mac admitted "They took me the car! Could you retrieve it at my place, before Sinclair will make it a disciplinary case?"

"Your ability to combine messes grows in proportion to your uphill of degree, Mac!" Jaime joked "Flack has offered to help you and your Italian colleague, as soon as he's done in the lab! I'll go!"

"Thank you so much Jaime!"

"Don’t say it! You owe me a beer and a pizza!"

Mac came out and started walking towards the lab with Flack.

The Commissioner Mancini had just done to analyze the traces that were found

"Lieutenant, do you want the good news first or the bad news?"

"That good!"

"Peter Parker was not wearing gloves when he was killed! The fingerprints on the window sill belonged to him! The bad news is that we know who was wearing the Spider-Man gloves, but we cannot arrest him for the murder!"

"Start by giving me a name!" Mac became serious

"Tony Costantino!" he said passing him a picture "He is an Italian-American with connections to both the Parkers and with the family which I am investigating!"

Mac nodded "I don’t see where the problem is then! We have evidences, we have the culprit and Costantino will clarify to us the motive!"

"You cannot understand! That one is completely out of mind! He is one of the biggest drug dealers in the U.S. and Europe! If we arrest him now, I cannot complete the capture of the whole gang in Italy and Roger Parker would do away with it!"

Mac strove to understand "Mancini, it is against my principles to leave a criminal at large! I absolutely cannot do that!"

"Taylor, they are five years that this case haunts me! Five years that I wait a breakthrough and now I'm there next!"

Mac shook his head "No! You’ll think up another way! I cannot afford to endanger other lives!" he said pressing a button on the phone" You were so distracted to not notice that I had already called my colleagues! They're going to pick up Costantino now!"

The Commissioner Mancini drew his gun

"Recall them immediately!" he said pointing it against him.

Some of the lab technicians had already made ​​safe under tables and others were running in the hallway.

Mac stood motionless, almost amused by the scene, with the gun on his forehead

"You won’t do it! We both know it a very well!"

"We want to bet?" he said lowering the trigger

"Commissioner, you are in a den of wolves!" he said looking out and seeing Jo and Danny rush "I assure you that you have unknowingly three guns aimed against! Two are behind the glass, not yet ready to shoot, and you've got one stake in a place that I cannot name, in respect of my colleagues, since you have drowned your own! What do you want to do?"

The Commissioner Mancini lowered the gun and sighed "All right! We will do as you wish!"

"And no one will know this story!" Mac smiled showing his gun before put it back on the waist

"Now, if you want to come to the district to interrogate the suspect..."

"Of course!"

Flack was stationed outside the villa with his police cruiser and Jaime was coming to him with the suspect

"I was going to come looking for you! You had me worried!"

"Don! I'm still able to take care of myself!" Jaime said putting the suspect in the car who did not speak and looked askance at all the cops present.

The Commissioner Mancini and Mac were ready to interrogate the suspect.

Mac advanced solid steps toward the door of the district and greeted with a wave of his hand Flack

"Hello Mac!" he replied "Jaime is waiting for you!"

"Thank you, Don!" he said pursuing looking back to see if Commissioner Mancini was following him or if he was left behind.

The Commissioner Mancini had a dark look and followed Mac with a resolution between the various desks

"Do we want to query this scoundrel?"

Mac nodded and showed him in the interrogation room.

The suspect stood up and looked at the two policemen

"I did not know that now my countrymen were working for the Americans!"

"And I did not know that in the mafia entered so high stacks of shit!" the Commissioner Mancini smiled

"Be careful how you talk, Commissioner! I could make your tones present to the judge! We already know how it will end: I’ll go out of here smiling and I'll go back to my good life, you'll come back in Italy as mad as hell without having achieved nothing! The umpteenth failure of the Commissioner Marc Andrea Mancini!"

Mac looked at Mancini to clench the fists and his knuckles becoming white and he intervened

"You're not here as a gangster, but as a murder suspect!"

"Ah! I read a lot of articles about you! How's your name... Oh yes! Now I remember Detective Mac Taylor!"

"Now, actually, I became Lieutenant! Among the articles you read about me the one of this morning goes missing!" Mac smiled mockingly "I begin with the questions!"

"Please, Lieutenant!" Mancini smiled

"Let's start with something easy: are you Tonino Costantino, known as –Tony-?" Mac said sitting down in front of the suspect while Mancini leaned against the wall

"Yes I am!"

"Do you know who is this guy?" he asked showing a picture of the young Peter Parker

"Why should I know him?"

"In this way we do not go well! You have to be honest with us, if you really want to get out!"

"You think I was born yesterday?! I avail myself of the right to remain silent Lieutenant!"

"Well, then I'll indict you for murder!" Mac concluded "You'll spend your whole life in prison! If you talk now, instead... the prosecutor may be less cruel!"

"And you?"

"I won’t change my behavior! You have broken a life that could still redeem himself! Realize this!"

"I didn’t do anything! With the young Parker we were joking! There were Ciccio D'Ambrosio and I when I given back the gloves to Peter! II left, alone!"

"And this Ciccio D'Ambrosio?"

"He has reached me shortly after outside the Empire! He is one new at Parker’s home! Those draw at home only reliable people and he was also quite related to the lad!"

Mancini then stepped forward "We will keep you an eye on!"

"Go ahead with comfy!" he smiled.

Lindsay joined Mac in his office

"I got what you asked for: Francesco –Ciccio- D'Ambrosio. Drug dealer, receiver of stolen goods and a couple of reports for assault!"

Mac and Mancini smiled

"Do you even know where he is?" Mac asked

"Could I ever leave things halfway?"

Mac knew the answer.

The Commissioner Mancini and Mac were out again in search of the real culprit. They were joined by Flack, Jaime and Danny.

They entered, without too much difficulty, in the apartment of Ciccio D'Ambrosio and found him lying in a pool of blood

"Too late!" the Commissar Mancini spat

"Yes!" Mac said looking at a chalk cherub in blood-stained on the pedestal and next to it a card bearing the message: -Justice Has Been done!- "I just hope to not arrive late next time!"

"Something tells me that there will be a next time only for me!" Mancini spat

"No! This case is a murder! We are in too!" Danny smiled

"Let's back to Costantino?" Jaime suggested.

The home of Tony Costantino was reached quickly and the team was ready to enter the apartment.

Much to their surprise, the same Tony Constantine was to open "What brings you here?"

At the police station Costantino was again questioned

"Dead?!"

"Yes, Costantino! Ciccio D'Ambrosio is dead!" Mac said approaching with threatening step

"I'm glad he's not finished behind bars! Have you found something?"

"A note! We checked your calligraphy and it doesn’t match! There aren’t your fingerprints on the murder weapon!" Flack admitted

"So what am I doing here?"

"We offer you a deal!" Mac said with a friendly way, but at the same time determined and hard "You’ll help us to find Parker and indict him for the murder of D'Ambrosio and you’ll have a reduced sentence!"

"Lieutenant, do you think I am stupid enough to believe you?"

"Don’t you accept the deal? Guess what just arrived from Italy to me and what I’m about to do!" he said putting his hand on his cell phone

"What did you find out about me?"

"Receiving stolen goods... drugs... well, a bit of things! You will be on trial for your crimes here and then you will be extradited to Italy!"

"How scary! I do not care about the Italian justice! I'll be out before they can do whatever thing against me!"

"Of the American one instead?"

"You based on things that have come to you from Italy! Your government won’t trust on them! Believe me, I know how these things work!"

Mac smiled "You don’t calculate the unexpected!" he said showing him the phone "I just recorded it all!"

"Even this recording is all a supposition! There is nothing concrete!"

Mac smiled "A couple of statements are true!"

Mancini came in with a dossier "Doesn’t he speak? Now we do him sing! You'll end up in for murder! I just found something on the clothing of Peter Parker!" he took a cigarette butt "It was inside a shoe, there's your DNA and I know how it finished there! We have a bit of evidences!" he walked towards him "You have given a hand to Ciccio to get rid of the body and since now he is dead, you end up in for twenty years!"

"Weah! Stay calm and listen carefully! The one, the lad, has caused fucking problems even to his father! I didn’t want to do anything just to scare him! That's what I did! I reminded him that the head is only one: his father!"

"That's why you made dangle him from the window of the Empire?" Mancini churches

"And what would otherwise?" Mac and Mancini looked at each other and laughed "In order to what are you laughing at?"

"For the absurdity of your story!" the Commissioner Mancini smiled

"I have all the time you want and as long as you don’t talk, I'll stay waiting here!" Mac said "Commissioner Mancini, would you get me some coffee?"

"How do you take it, Lieutenant?"

"Black with two lumps!"

"Anything to eat?" he churches before leaving "I saw an Italian pastry shop near here, I would going to pick me something!"

"Then I let you choose!" Mac smiled looking at the Commissioner Mancini on the door.

Jo looked at the cases of Mac and started to put her hand to the one on top: -Romilda Bowns-.

A phone call stopped her and answered worried

"What’s up, Christine?"

"Mac has the phone off! I wanted to remind him that it was his turn to look after the children! He had promised it to me! My mother is in the hospital and I wanted to go and see how she was!"

"I will come to take care of children! I solved the case, it was not so complicated!"

"It's already Sunday! The last time I saw him was Thursday night!"

"Do not worry! His case with Mancini is..." she paused to find the right word "Obscure! They were going to shoot each other here in the office!"

"When did it happen?" Christine asked in anxiety

"Yesterday! Mancini has pulled out his gun and started to play the fool! Mac had to calm him down!"

Mac came out with a smile on his face from the interrogation room at the side of Mancini

"Who would have thought that was enough to eat and drink in front of him for two hours?"

"But now I have a stomach ache!" Mancini complained

"Even I'm not in great shape! I think I will send to Parker’s address Danny and Flack!"

Flack appeared from behind "I could not do without listen!" he smiled "How many cannoli have you eaten?"

"Better not tell you! The important thing is that Constantine has spoken!"

"Have you advanced someone for Jo?"

"Why?" Mac asked

"She's looking at your kids! Christine is in the hospital with your mother-in-law!"

"So, do you excuse me? I want to make sure it's nothing serious!" Mac asked worriedly

"I take care of Parker with Detective Flack and Detective Messer!" the Commissioner Mancini smiled to reassure him.

Within a short time, Mac reached the hospital and the room in which Christine flanked her mother in the bed and hugged her father

"Hello Christine! Good evening, sir!"

"May I know where you've been? You had to go home to the children!" Christine was crying

"Let's talk later!" Mac said sitting down next to her and the father of Christine "I am very sorry!"

"Thank you for being here!" Christine said taking his hand

"Thank you so much!" the father of Christine said patting him on the shoulder "She admired you! When he learned that Christine was going to marry you said: -Our daughter has made ​​the right choice!-. When you have been charged during the affair of Beirut and I have spoken bad about you, she told me: -It's not by Mac!- She was never wrong!"

"I only regret not having been able to do anything for her!" Mac shrugged and squeezed his hand with Christine "How did it happen?"

"A heart attack! So at least the doctors say!" Christine’s father replied.

Falck, Danny, Jaime and Commissioner Mancini were in the middle of a firefight

"Holy shit!" Danny yelled taking refuge behind one of the parked cars in the garden "Flack, I have them all around! I'm in very deep shit! Call your men!" he shouted into the transceiver

"Danny! The guys are the last card to play! Hang in there!"

"Fuck you! Do you want to find me drilled by the bullets of these assholes?!"

"And if Parker flees by one of the sides that I decide to leave out?! I do not take the responsibility for a wrong choice!"

"We will say that it was my fault! Do as I tell!"

In a short time a group of policemen entered the main gate and Flack made his way among the men of Parker's becoming more and more close to the entrance of the villa. Jaime followed him and went to the door first.

The house was semi-deserted and break down the few men in it was almost a game until Flack felt the barrel of a gun on his neck

"Stop where you are! One move and you're dead!" Jaime raised the gun at the man "Sweetness, low it! Don’t you want anyone to get hurt?" Jaime followed the instructions of man "No policeman had ever entered my house in this manner! I have to compliment you!" the man continued "Throw down the guns!"

"Throw you your own Parker!" the Commissioner Mancini yelled appearing from a broken window with other cops and Danny "It's over!"

Mac returned to the office with Jo and Christine. He had McKenna in his arms who was watching him with his big blue eyes

"They told me that they have solved the case of Parker!"

"Yes it is! Mancini wanted to say goodbye before going back to Italy! You can find him in your office!" Jo told him before taking leave.

Mac looked at Christine and Faith and exclaimed "She looks like me more and more every day!" then he looked at McKenna "While he's very much like you!"

"He has something that reminds me my mother! Faith on the other hand doesn’t look like yours!"

"You didn’t know my father!" Mac smiled "Do you want to call your father and tell him to come to our house for dinner tonight? I know the look he had! He needs someone close to him!"

"Yes Mac, he would like it!" Christine said catching sight of the door of Mac’s office and the Commissioner Mancini "Do you want to give me the baby?"

"No! Come in too! Number three fell asleep and I feel sorry to wake him! "

Christine shook her head "I remind you that your own identity card it says Mac Llewellyn Taylor! Only for the Church you're McKenna Llewellyn Taylor Jr.”

"The fact remains, anyway, that he is the third McKenna!" Mac smiled entering his office

"Good evening! You missed the whole action Lieutenant!" the Commissioner greeted him "For me it’s time to go back! I was fine here!"

"I hope we will still have the opportunity to work together! Why not in Italy?"

"Don’t fly too much with fancy Lieutenant! Unfortunately, it’s easier for me to come back here in the future!" he turned to Christine "I learned of the event only a few minutes ago! My condolences!"

"Thank you!"

"When my father passed away last year, it has been the worst period I've had to deal with, luckily I had the smallest of my three children to look after!" he smiled at the couple "See you next time then!" and he left the room.

Mac sat at his desk with his son in his arms and beside him sat Christine

"I will settle here for a moment and then we'll go!"

"Take your time!" Christine smiled and then turn his attention to the phone ringing "Speak of the devil!"

Mac lifted the receiver

"Taylor!" he listened and his eyes turned serious "How? Sure! I see! I will do my best to be there as soon as possible! I'll take the first flight to Chicago tomorrow morning!" he hung up the phone and stared at the baby in his arms for a while, noting that it was still asleep quiet.

Christine looked at him waiting for him to speak "Mac?"

"My mother is at the hospital! She had a respiratory attack and was told that for now is conscious and stable, but they said that the conditions are severe and... "

"Go to her! Stay close to her! I’ll take care of the children!"

"There's also the funeral of your mother and..."

Christine put her index finger on his lips "I'll think about it! Do not worry if you cannot be present! The others will understand!"

"Thank you!"

That night, New York had suddenly lost all its colors and its lights. Even the weather seemed to want to make more gloomy that evening with a drizzling rain that was falling slowly in the streets and along the windows of skyscrapers.
