"CSI: NY" - "Tri-Borough" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Slick

The first victim of this episode is unidentifiable in the beginning because he has no wallet, keys, or identification on him. He was found on subway tracks having evidently zapped himself on the third rail. At the lab, Hawkes refers to the unnamed victim as 'Slick' because of a hydrophobic substance on the victim's skin.

This means that the substance does not like water. They find that the victim died of a heart attack which would have been triggered by a current different from the one used on the subway system.

Therefore, the body was placed on the third rail to cover up a different electrocution.

Answer: Elbow

In the second case, Danny talks to Detective Maka who was shot earlier and had to have a metal elbow. The victim in Danny's case is an art dealer named Leo Whitefield. The victim was found by the owner of the bookstore across the street, Ron Leatham. When Danny investigates the body, he finds that Whitefield was shot at close range, and the gun was left behind. Along with the gun was a single red string from a cloth used to wipe the fingerprints off.
Detective Maka also finds an insurance document for a painting that was destroyed in a fire nearly two hundred years ago.

Answer: Olive oil

Mac searches 'Slick's' clothes in the lab and finds a small piece of paper saying 'GAP Noon' on it as well as a stone with a fingerprint on it. After this, Stella says that the hydrophobic substance was olive oil. They decide that the stone was probably a piece of broken statue and that they couldn't possibly figure out what 'GAP' store was being talked about, but they also figure that with all of the power absorbed by Slick's body, a transformer could have blown elsewhere.

The fingerprint from the statue piece does not come up with a match, but Stella finds a digital camera in Slick's bag.

Answer: Inhumanity

Gianetti bought "Inhumanity" from Leo Whitefield before he was killed, but Detective Maka found the insurance documents saying that the picture burned in the fire. Gianetti's gun was used in Whitefield's murder as well as in a murder two years earlier. Gianetti claims that he needed Whitefield to get him that painting, so he never killed him.

Answer: Performing parkour

Mac and Stella find a transformer which experienced difficulties the previous night and found that twenty houses lost power due to the body on the tracks. One of these had limestone statues on its property, so Mac and Stella went there first. Here the owner, Bob Galanis, claims that he doesn't know the victim.

When they check the digital camera, they find that the victim was at Grand Army Plaza (GAP), so they head to Prospect Park. Here, Mac spots someone from the video, but when they approach him and his friends, they run off jumping over cars and through the city (parkour). Luckily, they get Alex Hopper's print from a newspaper and they bring him in for an interrogation.

There, they discover that the victim's name was Randy, and they get his address.

Answer: False

The insurance document that was in Whitefield's office was a fake, but "Inhumanity" was real. Detective Maka finds the painting and Danny examines it in the lab. After many different methods of determining a fake painting, Danny concludes that it wasn't burned in the fire, and it wasn't recreated.
Meanwhile, Aiden works on a case where a victim was killed by a blow to the skull after filling in for a fired construction worker.

Answer: Deodorizers

After taking a sample of the substance causing the odor in her victim's hair, Aiden discovers that the smell was a mix between deodorizers and human feces. This leads her to think that the murder occurred in a port-a-potty. Here she finds that the victim was pushed around in the small area. Meanwhile, Mac and Stella arrive at Randy's apartment to find that he was making adult movies and that he was covering his body with cooking oil.

Answer: Ryan Brocco

Ryan Brocco was laid off from his construction job before Bob LaMakkia filled his position. Angry with his bosses decision, Brocco pushed Bob LaMakkia's port-a-potty around while he was in it. Meanwhile, Danny discovers that the insurance paper is also authentic, as is the painting.
Mac and Stella discover that Bob Galanis is the only one in New York that sells the olive oil that Randy used in his videos, but Randy's name is not in the company's database. On the way out of the warehouse, Mac and Stella find the statue with the broken finger in Bob's truck.

Answer: Julie

When Mac and Stella investigate the Galanis household, they discover that the Julie G from Randy's videos is actually Julie Galanis, Bob's daughter. They find olive oil in her bed and a handprint on her windowsill. This means that Randy used his parkour techniques to get in and out of the house.

They discover burnt skin on the flagpole outside and figure that someone hooked jumper cables to a power box and used the flagpole to electrocute Randy. They take both the box cover and the burnt skin into the lab. Meanwhile, Danny finds that the Reason Street from the insurance form is actually Barrow Street in Greenwich Village. Since the person who wrote the form got the dates of the fire and the streets wrong, he thinks that Whitefield forged it. Since both the owner of the painting and the buyer knew it was real, they had no motive to kill Whitefield.

Answer: Yes

In Aiden's case, everything in the victim's skull fracture is accounted for except one substance, which she believes is used in an aircraft. A leak of fluid fell from an aircraft, froze in the air, and smashed LaMakkia when he took off his hard hat. Case closed.
In Danny's case with the artwork, he and Detective Maka find a book called 'The History of Ink' and cross the road to the bookstore to find more info from the owner from the beginning of the case. When the man wipes his brow with a red handkerchief, he's arrested, because the handkerchief was used to wipe the gun at the crime scene. Leatham killed Whitefield when he discovered that his books were being mutilated at the art gallery to make forged documents from old papers. He shot Whitefield and took Giamatti's $50,000 payment for "Inhumanity".
Mac and Stella also finish their case. It turns out that Bob Galanis' son, Will, set up the flagpole ruse to kill Randy, and Randy knocked the statue's pinky finger off when he fell to the ground. Randy used his red wagon, and with his father's help, they dumped him onto the subway tracks.
