S01E11.The Third Horseman

Day in Buenos Aires

Its a sunny day in "Palermo Woods" a hugh park situated in downtown for people to take sun, have picnics and enjoy some fresh air

A family is enjoyining some picnis when the little girl start walking far away the family so, when the parents notice their little daughter is gone, they search for her finding her feeding a black horse with an apple from the picnic-basket

The parents suddenly see, near the horse in some bushes, a human hand half-burried and they scream... the scene change to Dets. Bruce Chase & Karla King arriving to the scene and the police has finished to dig-up the hand... its a hole body of a man not just a hand

The dets. analyse the body noticing that the man is wearing an uniform... hes a granadier from the Regiment of Mounted Granadiers of Buenos Aires and bruce notice that, for the appearence of the body, it has signs of desnutrition so whoever killed this masn just burried him alive to let himself diead from starving...

(Opening Credits)

In another part of the city Dets. Lopez & Morgan arrive at a 911 call because the police found a naked man dead in the bathroom and Dra. Violet Danko smiles when they mention that the guy is naked but Det. Lopez says that the guy is dead so she has to calm down and Javier mentions that if she wants some action better watch over the livin but Dra. Danko says that both (Javier & Lopez) couldnt satisfy her "needs" and they are NOTHING COMPARE TO HER (Making an obvious machism-feminism remarks)

Thje dead man, actually a 22-years-old kid, name its Jeffrey Dickens and the kid has lipstick in his neck so Dra. Danko takes a sampke to analyse

The cause of dead is obvious marking the bruises all over the guy: he was killed because of a beat-up someone beat him to death

In the central moruge Dr. Ignacio Parkman is analysing the body of the death granadier called Roberto Suarez and dr. Parkman deduce that the body is, at least, 100 hours death and he died from famine (also known as starving)

Dr. Parkman finds two marks in the body:

1.A fatal hit in the head that doesn't killed him just leave him inconscious

2.A broken nose but that hit was done when the granadier was still alive

Bruce is thinking and Det. King ask him what he's thinking bruce says in the "bible" and he recits, making a connectionn between the black horse of Suarez and the cause of dead (famine), a passage from the Bible that says:

"When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" (Revelation 6:5-6 NIV)

Bruce says that Suarez had a black horse and died of famine like in the Bible the "Third Horseman" of Apocalypse name was "famine" and it had also a black horse... so they figure that, maybe, the killer may be a religious man or it coulb be just coindicence

And, when Dr. Parkman shows the duo, the mark of a "balance" (or scales as it says in the Bible) made in Suarez hand its the third connection with the Bible: the black horse, "famine" ande the balance... the weapon the third horseman of apocalypse, aka Famine, carry with him (For futher info about the F.H.O.A click here)

In the street Javier aproachs a prostitute and ask her name when she says Ruby Javier shows his badge and ask for a girl called Angela but, when with Det. Lopez, they get to Angela two man (a white guy and a black guy) aproach them

The white guy, identifying himself as Jose Bermudez the pimp of the place, ask the dets. what they want and the black guy, Gabriel some sort of "monkey" bodyguard of Bermudez, ask the dets. to leave in a bad tone

Det. Lopez try to provoque Gabriel but Bermudez calm Gabriel down Gabriel order Angela, in a bad tone, to "get back to work", Bermudez insists in what the dets. want and when they mention that Angela's lipstick was in Jeffrey Dickens neck and that the guy is death Bermudez seems angry when he hears the name "Dickens" but he says that they leave off "HIS STREETS" and the dets. agree... but Angela has to come with them

In the Headquarters of the Mounted Granadiers Dets. Bruce Chase and Karla King talk with some granadiers and one the granadiers, Manuel Ortega (The guy is very religious because he carries a Bible with him), cant believe Suarez is dead and, when the ders, ask why they didn't notice that one granadier was missing, another granadier, Thomas Gallo, say that there are 7 squads of 850 soldiersand 350 horses in the HQ so they cant notice if someone is missing or not

A granadier appears commanding Ortega and Gallo to work and bruce figures that he must be the Captain and the guy identify himself as Captain Pedro Aznar the commander of the HQ and when the Dets. ask about Suarez the Captain Aznar says he didn't knew Suarez but the granadier Ortega says that Suarez hadf a girlfriend... Samantha Maryland

Captain Aznar ask Ortega to go back to work and the Dets. notice that Ortega has a bandage on his hand but he didn't answer how he hurt the hand so, when the guy throw the bandage to the garbage to change for a fresh one they grab the old bandage that has blood in it to analyse

In the interrogation room Javier y Lopez talk with Angela about Dickens because her lipstick was in his neck so Angela says shes a prostitute so yeah Dickens pay her for a long night, the sleep together and they she left

Javier ask her if when she left Dickens was naked iven when Angela says if that's important so, asking again, Angela responds that yes Dickens was naked when she left indicating the dets that Angela was the last person on see him alive before the killer made the killing

Alone the dets. theorised calling Bermudez "Mr. Pimp" and Gabriel "Mr. Monkey" so they mention that "mr. Monkey's" hand where marked so maybe he killed Dickens and that "Mr. Pimp" was angry when he heard that Angela was with Dickens again so maybe both had something to do with Dickens death

Bruce rings a bell in a door and a girl opens and Bruce sees the girl is Samantha Maryland (Suarez girlfriend) but the girl denies to talk with Bruce iven when bruce mention the bruises and scratches in her arms and, when Samantha closes the door, Bruce says "ok i will have to do it the hard way" and Dr. Parkman calls him saying he identify some sort of sustance in Suarez head around the area were he was hit... it was excrement... from horses

In the lab Dra. Danko analysed the blood in the bandage from Ortega's hand and they where two samples of blood:

1.His...

2.Suarez blood

Det. King says that maybe that explains how Suarez broke his nose maybe Ortgea hit him across the face

On the streets Lopez catchs Gabriel, "Mr. Monkey", and tries to make him hit him and, when Gabriel trows a fist, Lopez grabs the hand with his and Gabriel decides to stop fighting him and leaves... but Lopez smiles because, when he caught gabriel's fist some of the samples from Gabriel's hand were left in his own hand (Watch in the pic the hand the woman has high in the sky Gabriel has residue of somthing in his hand so, when it comes into contact with Lopez hand he left soem of that residue in Lopez hand)

Mainwhile Ortega is in the interrogation room and Bruce interorgates him for Suarez blood in his hand and about the religious marks regarding Suarez way to die but Ortega denies everything Bruce explains that when he hits Suarez and broke his nose some blood of Suarez was left in his hand and mix with his own blood so Ortgea made a mistake not cleningf his hand first before putting himself a bandage and, being that the case, he did not change the bandage earlier so both samples of blood where left in the bandage after a lot of time being under the same bandage

Ortgea says he hit Suarez and broke his nose because he talk bad about tha Captain and, when Bruce ask about what, Ortega points Samantha... Suarez girlfriend

Mainwhile Dr. Parkman analyse the samples left by Gabriel's first in Lopez hand and its skin and blood... from Dickens so Gabriel was the one that killed Dickens beating him to death!!

Javier arrives saying that Angela likes Dickens more as "just a client" so sometimes she stays with Dickens all night without asking Dickens to pay her so they start theorising that maybe Mr. Pimp (Bermudez) was angry and forbide Angela to see Dickens but, when he finds out she was again with Dickens, he sends "Mr. Monkey" (Gabriel) to gasve himm a "lesson" and maybe the lesson went to far...

Bruce arrives at Samantha's apartment and convince her to let him get inside and Bruce notice that shes crying for "something else than just the death of his boyfriend" and, after a little "push", Bruce succed in make Samantha tell him why shes crying

Mainwhile Gabriel is in the interrogation room but denies Lopez advances iven when they have Dickens blood in Gabriel hands but when Lopez says that Bermudez set him up trying to make him talk Gabriel says that Bermudez is smart Angela was the stupid because she couldn't understand a simple rule: "NO pay NO sex" so Dickens fall in love with her and viceversa so Angela stop asking Dickens for money after their "sessions" and he bussiness was bad so he did what he had to do to keep the bussiness running and Javier arrives to cuff him up

In the streets Captain Azanar and ther granadiers are preparing a parade in honour of Suarez death but bruce arrives saying to the captain that he has to come over with him and, when Aznar says he already told him all he knew, Bruce says that "Samantha already told me everything" so Aznar, withour saying a word, decides to go with Bruce to the central (While this is happening Det. King is on the stables of the HQ looking for something... a shovel she founds hidden behind some boxes and Dra. Danko analyse it... it has blood)

In the street javier is talking to Ruby and he arrests Bermudez after telling him that Gabriel tld them the truth

In the central Bruce is interrogating Captain Aznar but he deines knowing anything so Bruce tell him that Samantha conffesed that he raped her the night she come by to the HQ to visit his boyfriend Suarez so when she told Suarsz abput it Surarez look for him that night and, while he was cleaning the horses excrement in the stables, Suarez told him that he was going to make him fired from the HQ for raping his girlfriend and there no wosrt shame for a granadier that being fired from the HQ so Aznar took the shovel he was using to clean the horse excrement and hit Suarez in the head to burried him alive but Bruce says he knew and that he mark his hand with a collection coin (side with a scale/balance) to make them think that Ortega, the religious man of the group, could have killed him but Det. King has found a Bible also in Aznar's lockeroom and a bag of coins that reveal that Aznar was a coin collector so, searching, they found a coin that matches with the mark in Suarez hand and, running them tests, it came up possitive for blood... Suarez blood

Aznar admits he didnt know that Suarez was still alive but bruce says than that doesn't change the subject and that hes arrested for rape and murder

The episode ends with a divided screen that shows Aznar being arrested by Det. King, Bruce arriving at the cementery to leave flowers in his wife's gravestone and Javier in his apartment waiting for someone that, when the doorbell rings, its Ruby...

Honestly the show has a mix (mostly) of CSI: NY & NYPD: Blue because of the characters backrounds, their quimestry and the drama some CSI about some ferocity in the cases and some CSI: Miami

I've gotta ask: What is this fascination with blood and murder? Do you need a hug? You're an interesting gal. I'd like to meet you and see what makes you tick.

I always love it when episodes include themes from the Apocalypse. By the way a blow is only fatal if it actually kills you. Not if it makes you unconscious. The story is a little convoluted in this episode. You really have to follow it through to make sure you understand all the motives as the reader. A pretty good episode overall though. Good job. I would give it a 9 as the subject matter was well thought out and more complex than usual. Thanks, Jeffery

NOTE: I wrote "fatal" indicating that was the last blow before the mans death like the last hit the man received before he dies burried alive

sorry for the lateness
Posted Nov 3, 2009 12:10 pm PT
i like how you blended those aspects into this, with added religous parts for a bonus. I give this a 9
Posted Nov 3, 2009 12:25 pm PT
Sorry for being late but i have been behind on some work but wow i see you have gotten alot better so probs but for me this one deserves a 7.5.
Posted Nov 7, 2009 11:26 am PT
This episode is different from the others. I concider that a bonus. Nice to see that you are adding diversity to your episodes. I liked the inclusion of religious aspects. Reminds me of an episode of The X-Files. I give it a 8.9
