Tonight’s CSI Vegas episode begins with someone holding a power saw with a mask on. A woman is tied up and bloody, and crying. It is actually a horror house for Halloween, there are people there and it is closing time. All of a sudden a mannequin falls to the floor and smashes, the smell is overwhelming, there is a body inside. Everyone starts screaming and running.
Beau is on the scene collecting evidence. None of the employees remember where they got the mannequin. There is a handprint on the face.
Catherine is at the casino and is flagged, security comes downstairs and tells her she is not supposed to be there. She tells them there is some security footage that she needs to take a look at. They call Mr. Alonso down and say she is going to be a problem.
Mr. Alonso tells her that he has 2000 employees and one doesn’t show up and she thinks there is a problem. Jodi escorts her out. Jodi tells her that she voted against her being thrown out of the casino, she doesn’t know what happened to this girl, but she wants to help.
The owner of the horror house, Mr. Carter, is thrilled with the media attention.
Fine Farrow, a fan of the horror house, says Fred, the mannequin has been there for five months. He says its his crime scene too, he has been there since the beginning and wants to see how it ends.
Gene’s fingerprints are all over the victim’s face. He makes creatures as well, but he is a superintendent for his building. He says he has always loved horror. His condition, vertigo, has always kept him indoors and he has pretended to be a vampire.
Allie goes to the morgue, Sonia and Jack are working on the mannequin. Sonia says he is about 6’ 2” and his death was about five months ago. His fingers on his right hand was broken, Jack thinks it happened when he fell.
Max calls in Joshua with her and Catherine, she says they don’t have enough evidence to open up an investigation for the disappearance of Grace Huong. She was a rockstar in Catherine’s program, she got her a job at Eclipse. When Catherine asked around at the casino, they fired her. She has surveillance video that she got from a friend at the casino. Joshua says lets find your friend.
The mannequin is sawed in half They take off the top shell and get a good look at the corpse. Beau shows up, Allie says she needs him.
Catherine and Joshua look at the video, Grace looked happy, she was on her way to there car but she never made it there. They see an SUV, it is one of the casinos, they take people to the airport in it.
Back in the morgue, they try to match the skeleton with a face in the missing persons database and they find one, Tim Harker, a veterinarian assistant who was reported missing by his fiancee Elena Tran. The match probability is 97%. He was 36 years old, he got taken from his home five months ago. And just by coincidence the creepy Mr. Farrow who was on the scene at the horror house.
Max goes to speak to Tim’s fiancee, she says that morning the place was trashed, everything was knocked over. She still has his stuff, she had hope that he would come back. Max shows her a photo of Mr. Farrow. She says the haunted house people didn’t like Tim, he wanted it shut down. Beau calls in Max and Allie, he found some evidence, millwork scrap that he found at the haunted house. But, he forgot to put booties on so the evidence is tainted, they can’t use it. Max says they need a murder weapon, they need more, mistakes happen, you move on and adjust.
Joshua gets one of his buddies to get him Grace’s car, he checks the Navis to see where she went.
Allie says the paint that was used on the mannequin is industrial latex grade. Beau is very upset about his screwup, Allie tells him to move on, she is sorry for being hard on him.
Allie finds something, more metal blue dust between the paint layers.
Max and Allie head back to the horror house and tell the owner the name of the victim and he laughs and says that’s why he shut up. Allie says someone applied 57 coats of paint to Harker’s body and they think they did it there. He brings them in to show them a place where it could have happened. The room is where they create all the gruesome props and everyone has access to it, the locks on the door don’t work. Max notices a fake wall. She gets it removed and they find the place where Harker was not only painted but he was also killed in there.
Beau is on the scene with Allie, she found a white eyelash and Mr. Farrow has vertigo. They speak to Mr. Farrow and he says he was in that room, he borrowed some tools for a special project. He brings them to a room in his apartment and it is really creepy, Allie sees that there is a doll that looks like her, he is arrested. Max walks in, sees the doll, and says that is not good, but it is just a 24 hour hold, she just made this crazy guy angry and he will be out soon.
Catherine and Joshua are in the desert where Grace’s car went and they are flagging the whole area and trying to find out if something may have been buried there. Catherine finds something, a hole that was filled back in. Catherine is convinced they know she is looking, they moved her body.
Beau has gone through Mr. Farrow’s whole apartment and can’t find anything. Allie is freaking out, he gets out of jail in 14 hours. Joshua is with Allie and there is no light in the room, so he turns on a light and Allie gets an idea, to look under the table she finds the murder weapon but the prints are too light. Allie has an idea and she gets a print. Max checks it and it is a match, but not Mr. Farrow, it is because to someone they eliminated, Lue Jasper, who worked on construction at the horror house and works on that table on a daily basis.
Allie takes samples from the doll made of her, the paint doesn’t match the mannequin. She can’t use it to link Mr. Farrow to the murder.
Beau and Joshua are back at Harker’s apartment, they missed it the first time, his running shoes. There is blue dust in the treads. It looks like the shoes were not Harkers, they may bring to Mr. Farrow because they are too small for Harker.
They bring Lue in, and Allie tells him that he killed Tim Harker. He works in the same room where Tim Harker was killed. His prints are on the murder weapon. His motive was his fiancé, it was his trainers that tracked that blue dust in. He is sleeping with Tim’s fiance, he has been before Tim Harker disappeared. Tim confronted him and it got out of hand. They arrest Lue and Tim’s fiance because she knew about it and did nothing.
Joshua and Catherine are going through samples of dirt from the desert and find a very tiny piece of a tortoise shell. Catherine gets a call from a blocked number, she takes it and leaves.
Catherine got to the underground parking and meets Jodi, she says they took her phone and beat her. She says she is not going to the police, she gives Catherine an envelope and there are photos of her. Catherine says she went to the desert and she thinks she found what was Grace’s grave. Jodi says she wants nothing to do with it and walks away.
Mr. Farrow shows up at the station, he came to collect his doll. He says he is getting evicted because of the stolen tools. He tells off Allie, he tells her that he is evicted and that just cause he is a little different, doesn’t make him a bad person. She asks why he made the doll and he says she inspires him and she can have it if she wants.
THE END!
