Summary: Junkie Jordy Thompkins was shot dead in an alleyway, but the bullet
that killed him is missing. Taylor and Hawkes soon realise that a rat
may have eaten the bullet, and finding the rat leads them to a robbery
that occurred earlier that day. After Robin Prescott is found raped and
beaten in Central Park with only a peony leaf on her clothing, Stella
and Flack have the daunting task of trying to find the man who raped
her, but Prescott has no memory of the crime.
A Red Carpet event is disturbed by the arrival of a young woman, covered in blood and dirt.
She collapses in the arms of her father. Flack tells Mac that the victim is Robin Prescott. She is
barely conscious and came out of Central Park. Stella takes pictures of the victim and will make
sure the clothes get to the lab to be processed. Danny has to handle all possible traces at the
Museum. Mac is called to another scene. Jordy Tompkins has been killed by a revolver shot to
the abdomen. As Aiden and him study the corpse, they wonder about the wound as it doesn’t
seem consistent with gunshot. After bagging the victim’s clothes at the lab, Stella goes to Robin
at the hospital to further their inquiry. She takes pictures, removes traces from a wound, scraps
under her nails. The young woman doesn’t remember what happened to her only hours before.
Back at the lab, Danny processes her clothing. He finds residues of different plants, which allow
them to narrow down where the crime scene could have been. They check the map of the city
to determine her journey through Central Park and find the only probably crime scene: north
of Strawberry Fields, west of Ramble. Hawkes gives his report about the gunshot victim to Mac.
The man bled to death after being shot. The problem is that there was no bullet in his wound.
The likely culprits are rats, as his body shows numerous bite marks. Stella is at the crime scene
in Central Park. She looks at the marks on the ground and takes pictures. She finds the victim’s
lost shoe, the discarded contents of her purse,as well as a food container with a steak in it.
Danny notes that there were possibly two aggressors, as two different sets of footprints can be
found. Checking one of the prints more closely, they find a nose ring with traces of blood. Aiden
and Mac are searching the alley, in which Tompkins has been killed. They look for rodent activity
and soon spot the building most likely to house the rats. Armed with a scanner to analyze metal
residue, Mac checks the ceiling of a small market. The results indicate that the rat that ate the
bullet is among the crowd. They need now to trap it. The food container with the steak found in
