Get Me Out of Here! - Recap

“Stop running, you can’t get away…You can’t run forever!” A boy yells. His calls to her echo off the gravestones and trees, as she runs. He holds a flashlight as he chases her. “We found her!” As a single boy breaks off from the group to chase her. “This way!” She hears them and hides behind a tree; footsteps still quickly approaching. She stops at a Marble Cross, a gravestone big enough to hide behind to catch her breath. She is alone…For the moment. She catches her breath and relaxes for a second leaning up against the gravestone. She puts her head down and looks at the ground. The voices in the background begin to fade. She draws her breath; when all of the sudden. A man puts his arm around her neck holding her against the cold marble. She screams as he reaches for her throat…Playfully. They begin to smile. “Told you I’d nail you.” He says. Out of breath from running. She smiles and replies: “You haven’t nailed me yet.” She asks if he has a condom and he reaches for his wallet to grab one. She takes off again. “Annie!” He screams as he gives chase. “C’mon Brian!” she says “Did you think I was gonna make it that easy?” Looking behind her as she screamed at him Annie ran as fast as she could until there was nothing under them. She had fallen into an open grave and landed with a thump. Brian still giving chase; runs up to the grave. “Annie?” He calls to her. She begins to get up and feels a body below her. A man with a dirt covered fraternity shirt on. Annie begins to scream!

The man’s eyes open and red, his fingernails dirty and broken. He had blunt force trauma to his head. He had been hit before he was dumped in the grave. His nails dirty meant he had tried to claw his way out. The man had no identification but he did have 4 cell phones. The interview with the grounds keeper did not help much. He noted as he rubbed his temple; “Detective, there are more people buried beneath New York city as there are living in it.” Back at the lab Dr. Hammerback and Sheldon are discussing the body. Sid tells Sheldon that the Mac was right when he had stated that the man died from a blunt force trauma to the head; but Sid believes the man would have died even if he had not been struck in his head. His toxicology report showed Arsenic in his blood. He may have been poisoned. Hit in the head and left for dead in an open grave. The grave was too deep for somebody with a head injury as serious as his; to get out of. Adam had been working on the cell phones that they found on the victim. They had revealed his name. Paul Warren. There was a small movie found on Paul’s phone showing a boy named Anthony D’corda asking “Seriously do we have to do this?” He looked scared and he was sweating. “I mean…what if.” Then the movie stops. The pictures found on Paul’s phone show fraternity gatherings with the owners of the cell phones in them. They all had Theta Delta Pie in common. A fraternity. When Adam and Danny show up at the frat house they find beer cans and bottles everywhere. They approach a man sleeping on the floor. “Tool” written on his face in marker. His body was surrounded by beer bottles. As if his dead body was chalk outlined with them. He gets up and introduces himself. “Matt…Mathew Cane” They ask if he knows the people in the picture. He quickly identifies Paul Warren, he speaks as if practiced when he talks about him. He tells them he is a great man before they him that Paul is dead. Matt continues to tell Adam and Danny that Paul was the “Pledge-master” it was his job to make pledges lives living hells. He was especially mean to the three boys who’s cell phones he had. The three pledges had just become the prime suspects in Paul’s death.

In the lab Sheldon and Lindsay are going over and analyzing the evidence found in Paul’s grave. Sheldon identified a piece of metal as an artificial eye, for cosmetic purposes. It was used in the past to preserve a person’s face after death. To give the illusion that their eyes were closed it held the cadaver’s eye lids shut. Lindsay finds that there are more than one dirt samples on Paul when he died. Their theory now was that Paul had been left in one grave and stumbled into another. His trauma would explain how he could fall in and not be able to get out again. Mac believed Paul crawled out of a shallow grave and had been buried alive. He escaped and feel into the other. Lindsay and Danny begin to collect dirt samples in the graveyard. They begin talking about their future and their burials. Lindsay tells Danny not to spend the assumed 20,000 dollars it would cost. He should keep it to give to their children. While talking to each other Danny sees a beer can on top of a gravestone behind Lindsay. He stops their conversation and grabs the beer can. He sees on the bottom of it there is a code. A code that matched a random code on Paul’s phone. Sid walks into Mac’s office. He had been working on Paul’s head and was able to retrieve a mold of the impact wound. It appeared to have been made by a tool, a crowbar or a wrench. Sid then awkwardly stops and asks Mac how he sleeps at night. He presents a pillow that he had made himself and wants Mac to test it and tell him how he likes it. He wants his honest opinion on “The Hammerback” Pillow. It’s catch phrase went “You’ll sleep like a corpse.” Mac agrees and takes the free tote bag that came with it. Sheldon and Danny are trying to identify the code on the beer can and the video. They figure out the code and it tells them cemetery plots and locations. They have to play the scavenger hunt to find the next clue. They begin to check the cemeteries. Sheldon walks up on 2 panicked “frat boys” They have a beer can in their hand and they are trying to figure out where to go. Sheldon emerges from behind a pillar. When they see him they begin to run. They don’t get far with a gun stopping them, pointing at them as soon as they turn the corner. “Were sorry” They plead; “We were just trying to find our friend.” They spread their hands and lay on the ground.

Now 2 out of 3 of the frat boys had been found. The only one missing was the one in the video. The 2 boys told them that they didn’t kill Paul. They had been doing what he told them. It was called the 6 pack challenge. 6 Beer cans would be hidden in cemeteries around the city, they had to find them all or all 3 of them would get “Dinged.” Which meant they would be kicked out of the Frat House. 2 out of 3 of them had gotten to the 5th beer can and they did not know what to do when they got there. The beer can left there had the last boys name on it. “Anthony” it gave them no clue how to find him. They did not know that Anthony’s life rested in their hands and they didn’t have any cell phones to get any help. Paul had taken theirs. Sheldon confiscated the beer from the 2 boys and found something in one of the cans. An old Crypt key with a “W” Etched into the handle. After finding high levels of arsenic in the soil at the original cemetery they believed the Groundskeeper may have known more then he was telling them. He showed signs of arsenic poisoning. Mac and Don go to investigate the cemetery. It is now dark and when they approach the front gate they hear work being done, and large bulldozers being used. They had been exhuming bodies to create room for more paying customers. They walk in and identify themselves as police. The groundskeeper begins to fight Mac as Don deals with the man driving the bulldozer. The man in the bulldozer reaches for his gun and Don shoots him dead. The mans body forces his hand on the lever it was leaning and it knocks the groundskeeper into a pile of wreckage. Mac quickly arrests him. While further investigating the dig sight they had just found. Mac and Don find another interesting piece of evidence. A crowbar. They believe Paul walked up and saw what the Groundskeeper was doing. When the man found out he struck Paul with the crow bar and drug him through the dirt to throw him in the hole with the other skeletal remains. The Groundskeeper confessed to killing Paul but he didn’t know where or who Anthony was.

Sheldon runs to Mac to tell him about the crypt key. Anthony must be in a crypt somewhere and the only person that knew where he was; was dead. Paul was the only one who could decipher the code. The team begins to comb cemeteries for a crypt. A very old crypt to match the key and dirt samples. After finding a mineral sample in the key they are able to identify where it had come from. They race to free this poor boy from his crypt. When they get there he is scared and had been without food or water for 2 days. Paul had played a sick game with Anthony’s life but he was dead. While watching Halloween the movie for Halloween the holiday Sid asks Mac about the pillow. Mac tells him how much he loved it…But he had to change the catch phrase.
