"CSI: Miami" - "MIA/NYC Non-Stop" Quiz

Answer: She wasn't home at the time of the murder

In the beginning of the episode, the CSIs investigate a double homicide at a local house. They determine that the murderer entered through the back door, walked past the bedrooms, and decapitated the mother sitting in the living room. He then returned to the bedroom with the intent of murdering the husband.

The man was attacked, but he managed to run down the hall before the killer finally used a single-edged knife to put him to a stop. The husband tries to go down the hall to warn his daughter, but she was out at a club until 2:00 am.

She came home and found her parents murdered.

Answer: Copper

Calleigh investigates a spit mark found on the hardwood floor of the crime scene and she finds components of jet fuel. This phlegm, produced by upper respiratory inflammation is a symptom of those who were situated near ground zero at the 9/11 attacks in New York. Meanwhile, another piece of evidence is found.

When a piece of paper with a shoe print on it is run through a computer, a piece of a logo for SunStar Auto Rental is found, and the CSIs determine that the paper is from an auto rental company at Miami International Airport.

These clues point to the fact that the killer flew down to Miami from New York.

Answer: Maybach Air

After discovering purple and orange fibers on the male victim's clothing, and after finding the auto rental company, Horatio and Speedle head down and they narrow down the search. Although hundreds of male travelers have come from New York and rented a car, only a couple dozen returned their car the previous night.

They match up the orange and purple fibers to a colour scheme used by Maybach Air and determine that the name of the driver was Nick Murdock. When they find the car, they find a blood stain on the steering wheel and the lot employee gives them a copy of Nick's driver's license.

In order to fulfill his promise to the girl who has just lost her parents, Horatio decides to fly to New York to catch the criminal himself.

Answer: Strangled

Mac Taylor arrives at a crime scene in New York to find that an undercover cop has been strangled to death. A wallet was found, but no ID was inside. As he checks it, Horatio introduces himself. Horatio is surprised to find that Nick was killed, and they figure that the real murderer stole the man's identification, used the identity to rent a car, and killed the two victims in Florida.

They make a deal to have the real murderer prosecuted in Florida so that Horatio can give Laura (the daughter of the victims) piece of mind.

They find a partial whirl of a fingerprint and do a search on it.

Answer: Arson

After searching the print, Mac and Horatio find a suspect named David Penrod and they get his address. When they arrive at the scene, the guy climbs out the fire escape and Mac and Horatio chase him over the rooftops of the apartment until he jumps into a dumpster full of boxes.

He manages to get away, but they hang around to check the crime scene. Horatio finds the Maybach Air airline ticket and an address written on it, and Mac finds fresh blood in the drain of the kitchen sink. Horatio realizes that although the address on the ticket is for 702 Star Island, the victims were at 720 Star Island. Penrod was at the wrong house, so Horatio calls the Miami Crime Lab and finds that the owner of 702 Star Island is named Michael Hanover Sr. and he also has a residence on 5th Avenue in New York City, so they check his luxurious apartment and follow a trail of blood to Hanover's and his wife's dead bodies in the bedroom and the study.

They also find the victims' son still alive in his bedroom.

Answer: Through a hidden entrance

After finding the bodies, the team investigates the apartment. Mac finds blonde hairs in the study near the male victim's chair as well as semen and they determine that the female victim took drugs before going to bed. Meanwhile Stella checks the entrance that was used by Penrod and finds blood along the wall.

They decide to take the lock apart to see how Penrod entered the room and they find no scratches inside it. However, red acrylic shavings were found when the lock was observed, so they determined that a duplicate key was used to unlock the door.

It is also found that the Hanovers were killed similar to the way that the Miami victims were.

Answer: Blue

The CSIs find a stage show that isn't closed on Mondays, and they find the only member of the cast that wears a specific blue make-up and find that she was in a relationship with Hanover. She admits to having been at the crime scene, and she decided to end her relationship with Hanover.

She used her key on the door and left it open when she left. She hands over the key and the clothes she wore the previous night, but they don't find any blood. They do, however, find semen on her clothes, but it doesn't link to Hanover Sr.

Instead, it links to Hanover Jr. Mac and Horatio talk to Mike Jr. about the mistress (Renee), and he says that they have been a couple for many months.

Answer: Mrs. Hanover's

Stella is told about this by another CSI and figures that Mrs. Hanover must've been involved with Penrod. Meanwhile, Mac and Horatio try to talk to Hanover. Jr about his wounds, but Jr's lawyer won't let them see it or Hanover Sr.'s will. Mac looks over the photos that Stella took earlier while Horatio checks the bodies of the parents.

They both discover that there are hilt marks from the knife on the parents, but none on the son. This shows that there were two knives involved, and there could've been two attackers, but they only have one knife. Mac decides to go back to the apartment to look for the second knife.

Answer: A knife

Mac finds the second knife at the bottom of the elevator shaft and he also finds one piece of crucial evidence. He takes the doorman into custody and reveals everything. The DNA on the knife matches DNA found on the doorman's clothes. He also reveals that he found a tassel in the bottom of the shaft.

The tassel was cut off the sleeve of the doorman's uniform when he tried to wipe the blood off the hiltless knife. After stabbing Hanover Jr., the doorman simply dropped the knife down between the elevator doors, and the tassel fell in with it.

It turns out that the doorman was in Hanover Sr.'s will because he saved his life.

Answer: True

The doorman hired Penrod to kill the Hanovers for a half of his earnings from the will. When he took down the Miami address, he wrote it down wrong because he's dyslexic. This caused him to kill the wrong family. He also killed Murdock for the identity, but this also brought him down because he killed an undercover cop.

When the Hanovers returned to Manhattan, the doorman took the key and copied it. He went to the apartment with Penrod and decided to attack the son. He left him alive to take the suspicion off of himself.

The murderers are arrested, Hanover inherits millions and gets Renee, and Horatio heads back to Miami where Laura realizes she's safe.
