Trama

A man who works at a half-way house is found dead in an area filled with drug addicts and prostitutes at night. His belongings were stolen, from car to shoes. Another body is found wearing only his boxers, with signs of a clown's make-up.

In a rough quarter where prostitutes and drug doses are picked up, two men are found killed and robbed. Ed Burnell, well-groomed and wealthy, seems the victim of blatantly abusive junkie Jamal, but he only stole Ed's shoes and car. The rare drug indocaide he's on leads CSI to investigate the half-way house Burnell worked in, run by an ex-con and with an addicted clientèle collecting criminal records... The second victim is hard to identify, but traces of -unique, registered- clown grime allow professional agent Buddy Ween (who doesn't mark faces) to recognize Donny 'Doodles' Zanko, who had a quarrel with a 'rival' mime and possibly did more then a disappointing birthday party performance for his last clients, Al and Merill Maguire...—KGF Vissers

A man drives though a red zone of Las Vegas in the middle of prostitutes, homeless and drug addicted people. He stops his car and walks in the middle of the outcast people. Grissom and Capt. Brass arrive in the place and find the man stabbed several times in the chest. In the autopsy, they identify the man as Ed Burnell and learn that he worked in a half-way house, using the drug Ibogaine in drug addicted persons to heal them. Ed was addicted and had used this drug in the past and now he was clean. They go to the half-way house and the worker Sinclair says that Ed Burnell was obsessed to heal junkies, and shows his last case with Mindy in a videotape that was clean after the treatment. Meanwhile, Catherine, Sara and Det. Cavaliere investigate the murder case of a man in a notorious junkyard used by travesties. Their investigation shows that the man is the clown Donny Zanko. Now they look for his last steps to find where and when he was murdered.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
