"'''Crate 'n' Burial'''" is the third episode of the [[United States|American]] [[crime drama]] ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]'', which is set in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]]. It originally aired as Episode 3 of [[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (season 1)|Season 1]] on October 20, 2000. |
|||
==Plot== |
|||
Laura Garris has been kidnapped and buried alive. At the Garris' residence, [[Jim Brass|Brass]] attempts to discourage Laura's husband, Jack, from paying the [[ransom]], while [[Gil Grissom|Grissom]] and [[Nick Stokes|Nick]] analyze the tape-recorded message for evidence. Noticing a gap of silence and a low-frequency buzzing sound, they speculate that Laura is buried in the desert near [[electric power transmission|power line]]s. [[Sara Sidle|Sara]] does a walk-through of the house and sees numerous signs of struggle. When Grissom joins her, he notices dirt on the bedroom carpet and a [[halothane]]-soaked handkerchief lying on the ground outside. |
|||
An analysis of the dirt from the Garris' home reveals traces of [[gold]] and [[cyanide]], a [[Gold mine#Cyanide process|combination]] commonly found at [[gold mine]]s. Grissom and Sara search the desert with an infrared camera and spot the glowing image of a thrashing body underground. They frantically dig until they unearth Laura. |
|||
Unable to discourage Jack Garris from paying the ransom, Brass tails him to the drop site. When a young man retrieves the bag containing the money, the police move in. |
|||
When Grissom interviews Laura Garris at the hospital, she says she remembers being grabbed from behind in the hallway of her home and having something clamped over her mouth, but she cannot remember anything about her assailant. Grissom asks her for a [[DNA]] sample to compare to the [[duct tape]] used to silence her, and to the truck belonging to the man caught at the ransom drop-off site, Chip Rundle, Jack Garris' [[personal trainer]]. Brass tells Rundle that his [[fingerprint]]s were found on Laura Garris' makeshift [[coffin]]. Rundle explains that he helped Jack move crates. Brass releases Rundle but recorded the interrogation to use as a vocal comparison to the ransom message. |
|||
The AV lab matches Rundle's voice with the voice on the ransom message. After finding strands of hair in the front passenger seat of Rundle's truck, Sara asks Grissom to help her reconstruct Laura's abduction. She notes that the fibers from the sheepskin seat covers were found on the back of Laura's sleeves, which could only have happened if Laura were sitting in an upright position like a normal passenger. A blood test confirms that Laura never ingested the halothane. The CSIs realize that Laura was an accomplice in her own "abduction". |
|||
Laura persistently denies any relationship with Rundle. Sara says they staged the kidnapping as part of a plan to run away together with a lump of Jack's fortune. Nick plays a cleaned-up version of the ransom recording for Jack; on it, Laura is heard telling Chip to "Hurry up!" As Laura is arrested, her angry husband asks Grissom why she didn't just give Rundle up. "Self-preservation," Grissom explains. "If she rats on him, she rats on herself." |
|||
[[Catherine Willows|Catherine]] and [[Warrick Brown|Warrick]] are assigned to the case of the disturbing hit-and-run of a young girl, Renda Harris. The only evidence they find, however, is a common car-paint scrape on the girl's scooter, so they return to the lab. In [[autopsy]], Doctor Williams shows them a partial [[license plate]] number made visible on a bruise imprinted on the body of the girl. |
|||
A hit on the partial license plate number brings Catherine and Warrick to the home of Charles Moore, a courteous seventy-three-year-old. He claims his car was stolen but a search of the house reveals the car to be in the garage. Moore confesses that he was behind the wheel, that he spotted Renda in the middle of the road but accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. |
|||
Catherine and Warrick examine Moore's car and they notice the driver's seat is pushed too close for his height and that the car stereo has been set to a hip-hop station and is on full blast. They ask Moore if anyone else drives his car, just as his grandson, James, enters. Moore admits that after hitting Renda he'd banged his head and James drove him home; neither Catherine nor Warrick believe his story. |
|||
Catherine takes a closer look at Charles Moore's car and finds a small piece of tooth lodged in the steering wheel; the tooth belongs to James. James is arrested and Charles is released. An understanding and sympathetic Warrick accompanies James and offers advice before he's taken into custody. Warrick also writes his cell number on James' hand and tells him to contact him just in case trouble arises. |
|||
