COLD OPEN:

[EXT. VARIOUS LAS VEGAS CITY (STOCK) - NIGHT]

CUT TO:



SCENE #01:

[INT. HOTEL MONACO - HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT]

(Camera close up of a tumbler.  Someone drops three ice cubes and pours the rest 
of the vodka from the bottle into the glass.)

(He picks up the glass and walks around the room.  He sits on the bed and drinks 
from his glass.)

(He stands up and walks into the bathroom to stand in front of the foggy mirror.  
He uses the back of his hand to wipe it clear.  He stares at himself and sighs.)

(He turns around.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #02:

[INT. HOTEL MONACO - HALLWAY -- NIGHT]

(GRISSOM turns the corner to the hotel hallway and makes his way to the officer 
who stands just outside the hotel room door. The OFFICER signals GRISSOM inside 
the room.)

[HOTEL ROOM -- CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM walks into the room.  BRASS is inside with two other OFFICERS.  He 
looks at GRISSOM.)

BRASS:  Oh ... you're going to love this.

(BRASS pulls out a cloth from his pocket to open the bathroom door.  They look 
inside.)

[BATHROOM -- CONTINUOUS]

(At the far end of the bathroom, is a tub ... with the dead body inside.)

BRASS:  Ring any bells?  Rub-a-dub-dub, dead man in a tub.

(BRASS and GRISSOM step into the bathroom.  GRISSOM puts his kit down near the 
door.)

BRASS:  Sleeping bag for easy cleanup.  Open window so the stench alerts the 
neighbors.

(GRISSOM looks around.)

GRISSOM:  It's Royce Harmon all over again.  

(Quick flashes of:  A shot of the chest bullet wound.  Flash to:  The revolver 
in the man's left hand.)

GRISSOM:  What do you think?  "Suicide" note in the same place?

(GRISSOM steps forward.)

BRASS:  You tell me, Karnak.  

(GRISSOM cautiously look, reaches out and finds the tape recorder clutched in 
the body's right hand.  He takes it and looks at it.)

BRASS:  Now, that's weird.

GRISSOM:  Not weird.  Intentional.

(GRISSOM presses play.)

RECORDED VOICE:  (from tape)  ... narl loop sair momoph reet reet seer pute 
narfenging ...

(GRISSOM shuts it off.)

BRASS:  What kind of language is that?  Swedish?

GRISSOM:  It's backward.  

(GRISSOM thinks about it for a moment, then turns around to look at BRASS.)

GRISSOM:  Would you excuse me a minute?

BRASS:  (nods)  Sure. Okay.

(BRASS steps out of the bathroom and closes the door behind him.)

[INT. HOTEL MONACO - MAIN ROOM - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(BRASS shuts the door.)

OFFICER ARVINGTON:  He okay in there?

BRASS:  Quincy wants to be alone.  We had a case like this three months ago -- a 
guy found dead in his bathtub.  Turned out the suicide was staged.  Found a 
mini-recorder as a suicide note.  

(BRASS turns to look at the closed bathroom doors.)

BRASS:  Killer may have struck again.

OFFICER ARVINGTON:  Why does he want to be alone?

(BRASS looks at OFFICER ARVINGTON.)

BRASS:  He wants to get his mojo working.

SCENE #03:

[INT. HOTEL MONACO - BATHROOM - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM turns the tape recorder on and plays it backward, then flips the switch 
to play it forward.)

RECORDED VOICE:  Man on mini-recorder:  My name is Stuart Rampler.  I reside at 
818 Noeing Hill Court, Las Vegas, Nevada.  I am 43 years of age, and I'm going 
to kill myself.  I just can't do it anymore.  I love you, mom.

(He shuts the recorder off and stands there a moment.  He turns to look at his 
reflection in the mirror.)

GRISSOM:  You're back.

FADE IN.

SCENE #04:

[INT. CSI - HALLWAY -- NIGHT]

(GRISSOM walks into the hallway reading the assignment sheets in one hand; the 
bagged tape recorder in the other.  He looks up and sees SHIBLEY walking toward 
him.)

GRISSOM:  Shibley, take this recorder to the print lab.  

(GRISSOM hands the tape recorder to SHIBLEY, then continues down the hallway.)

GRISSOM:  Have Manny dust it and run prints on it right away.

(SHIBLEY gives GRISSOM a large envelope.)

SHIBLEY:  Photos from tonight's suicide.  Put a "rush" on them for you.

GRISSOM:  Photos. Thank you.

(GRISSOM walks down the hallway and stops when he hears what sounds like a 
football game whistle coming from the break room.  He looks inside.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #05:

[INT. CSI -- BREAK ROOM - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(WARRICK and NICK play a video football game.)

NICK:  Oh!  
WARRICK:  Throw the flag, ref!
NICK:  Uncatchable, bro.

(GRISSOM walks into the break room.)

GRISSOM:  (irritated)  Hey!  You guys want an assignment slip or a pink slip?

(WARRICK stands up; NICK shuts the game off and also stands up.)

WARRICK:  Just taking a little coffee break.

NICK:  Is it true?

WARRICK:  Same guy?

GRISSOM:  (calmer)  I don't know.  We'll see.  Here. 410.  Reckless driver out 
at Hoover Dam.  Car went over a cliff.  Anonymous caller.  Could be foul play.

(GRISSOM gives WARRICK the assignment sheet.)

WARRICK:  Oh, me and him, working together?  Oh, it's on.

NICK:  You're going down, bro.

(WARRICK hands the sheet to NICK.  The two gearing up for the challenge ahead.)

GRISSOM:  (irritated)  Hey! Work together tonight.  All right?

(WARRICK nods demurely.  GRISSOM leaves the room.  Once his back is turned, NICK 
and WARRICK look at each other and smile ... gearing up for the challenge 
ahead.)

SCENE #06:

[INT. CSI - GRISSOM'S OFFICE -- NIGHT]  

(GRISSOM walks into the office.)

GRISSOM:  Okay, we're going off the board tonight.

SARA:  Off the board?

CATHERINE:  "The ones that got away."  Fish.

SARA:  Ah. I missed that one.

(GRISSOM stands in front of the large fish-shaped corkboard and takes down some 
photographs.)

GRISSOM:  First victim, Royce Harmon.  About three months ago, Brass and I found 
this guy dead in his own bathtub, but his "suicide" was staged.  I think the 
killer has killed again.  

(He hands the photos to SARA.)

GRISSOM:  Photos of tonight's victim:  Stuart Rampler.  Play the "pick six 
things that are different" game.  Bet you lose.

(CATHERINE looks at the photos.)

SARA:  This guy's good.

CATHERINE:  Not good.  Exceptional.  Print examiner lifted a thumbprint off the 
mini-recorder near the tub of our first victim.  The print came back this.

(CATHERINE looks around GRISSOM'S office and finds the fake hand.  She shows it 
to SARA.)

GRISSOM:  The killer purchased one of these rubber hands laced the fingertips 
with cooking spray and proceeded to place false prints all around the crime 
scene.

SARA:  This guy is good.  Whose prints are these?

GRISSOM:  Some guy who works in a warehouse making Halloween paraphernalia.  
Scary masks, air-brushed tombstones, rubber hands.  Turns out he used his own 
hand for the mold.

CATHERINE:  So what do we do?

GRISSOM:  We split up.  You and I go to the coroner.  Sara, you go to the hotel.  
Dust every inch of that bathroom. Here. Use this --

(GRISSOM reaches for a container on the shelf.  He gives it to SARA.)

GRISSOM:  "Red Creeper."  My own concoction.

SARA:  (impressed)  Wow.

GRISSOM:  Well, serious case, serious print powder.  Be thorough.  Don't take 
anything for granted.

SARA:  Yes, sir.

(SARA leaves the office.)

(CATHERINE and GRISSOM also leave the office.)

SCENE #07:

[EXT. HOOVER DAM - CRASH SITE - NIGHT]  

(NICK and WARRICK enter the crash site.  Emergency crew work on the car.)

WARRICK:  Everyone still breathing in that car?

PARAMEDIC:  So far.

NICK:  Call came in blind.  You see who could have made it?

PARAMEDIC:  No. We were first on the scene.  Fire department came in two minutes 
behind.  Place was dead quiet.

(The fire department crew cut the top off of the car.  They start working on the 
unconscious man in the back seat of the car.)

WARRICK:  Where's the driver?  He get thrown?

OFFICER:  Didn't find anybody.

(NICK and WARRICK look up above where the car fell.)

NICK:  I'm thinking DUI.

WARRICK:  You calling it?

(NICK looks around on the ground and finds something.)

NICK:  I'm calling that beer bottle.

(NICK uses a pen and picks it up to look at it.)

WARRICK:  How you know it's from the car?

NICK:  It's still cold.  Foam in the bottle.  Take it up top?

WARRICK:  After you ...

CUT TO:



SCENE #08:

[INT. CSI - FORENSIC AUTOPSY -- NIGHT]  

(DR. ROBBINS pulls the body out of storage.  He goes over the body with GRISSOM 
and CATHERINE.)

DR. ALBERT ROBBINS:  I've read Klausbach's report on Royce Harmon the first 
staged suicide.

GRISSOM:  Similarities?

DR. ALBERT ROBBINS:  Well, based on the entry wound, they were both murdered.  
But here's where it gets fun.

(DR. ROBBINS shows them the wound on the back of STUART RAMPLER'S left hand.)

CATHERINE:  That looks like he was shot trying to protect himself.

GRISSOM:  What else, Doc?  My mind is painting.

DR. ALBERT ROBBINS:  He was paid a little visit from Mr. Muzzle stamp.

(DR. ROBBINS shows them the bruise on the temple.)

(Quick flashback to:  The gun is against STUART RAMPLER'S temple.  End of 
flashback.  Resume to present.)

CATHERINE:  Forced into the tub at gunpoint?

GRISSOM:  Okay.  Let's play it out.

(GRISSOM turns around.  The clock behind GRISSOM reads 4:35pm.)

GRISSOM:  The killer's got him at gunpoint, right?  Standing over him like this.

(Quick flashback to:  STUART RAMPLER puts his hand up to block the gunshot.)

STUART RAMPLER:  No!!

(Quick CGI that follows the bullet as it pierces through flesh.  End of CGI.  
End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

GRISSOM:  But this time, things got messy.  Royce Harmon didn't fight back.  
That's why there was no muzzle bruising to his temple.

CATHERINE:  Stuart Rampler was resistant.  He didn't want to get into that tub 
too easily.  He took a few jabs to the temple.

GRISSOM:  But the killer just lost round one.  We know how he gets his vics into 
the tub and we know that both deaths were homicides.

CATHERINE:  Not a bad start.

CUT TO:



SCENE #09:

[EXT. HOOVER DAM OVERLOOK - TOP -- DAWN]  

(WARRICK stands at the top of the overlook near the broken railing.  NICK 
measures the tire marks on the road.)

NICK:  The skid start way up the road.  I got him doing at least 70.

WARRICK:  More like 80.

NICK:  These grooves are from the car's frame.  It balanced before it fell.  

(NICK looks a the shoe prints in the dirt.)

NICK:  This is where he bailed.  Wide spacing, slipping of the heel.  He ran.

(WARRICK takes a photo.)

WARRICK:  Who?

NICK:  The phantom driver.

(Quick flashback to:  [NICK'S VERSION]  Inside the moving car.)  

WALTER BANGLOR:  Hey, hand me another beer.

PHANTOM DRIVER:  No, you've had enough.

(The car heads straight for the truck.  Its horn blares.  The car swerves.)

PHANTOM DRIVER:  Hey, hey...!

(Tires squeal.  The car crashes through the railing and teeters on the edge of 
the embankment, its engine still running.  The PHANTOM DRIVER bails.  The Drunk 
Backseat Passenger, WALTER BANGLOR, stays in the car as it topples over and off 
the cliff.)

(The PHANTOM DRIVER runs away.  WALTER BANGLOR screams as the car falls down the 
ravine.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

WARRICK:  So your drunk driver just got out and ran away?

(NICK looks at WARRICK and nods.)

WARRICK:  Where to?

NICK:  I don't know.  That's why we're up here.  But he left his buddy hanging 
out to dry.  I can tell you that.

(WARRICK points to the tire marks on the roadway behind NICK.)

WARRICK:  Then how do you explain car number two?

NICK:  Driver ran to this point, car picks him up.  Here are your tracks ... 
probably took him to the hospital.

WARRICK:  Not if we have these.  

(WARRICK looks down at the tracks in the dirt.)

WARRICK:  They're kind of out of place.  A walking stride up to the edge.

(WARRICK takes a couple of photos.)

WARRICK:  No.  This is a crime, not an accident.

NICK:  You care to back that statement up?  My phantom driver against your 
criminal?

WARRICK:  How much?

NICK:  Fifty.

WARRICK:  I don't get out of bed for less than a bill.

(NICK laughs and they shake on it.)

SCENE #10:

[INT. HOTEL MONACO - BATHROOM -- DAY]  

(SARA walks into the hotel room bathroom carrying her kit.  She meets up with 
DET. B. EVANS.)

SARA:  Hey, Evans.

DET. EVANS:  Hi.

(SARA puts her kit and things down.)

DET. EVANS:  Victim's name is Stuart Rampler.  Lives in town reserved a room for 
one night because his house was being fumigated.

SARA:  Hmm.  Find anything unusual?

DET. EVANS:  I bagged a couple of utility bills.  

(He moves to the side and picks up a bag of bills and shows it to SARA.)

DET. EVANS:  Ready for mail.  It's almost as if he wanted to take care of some 
unfinished business before he checked out.

(SARA takes the mail out of the bag and goes through the bills.)

SARA:  Well, it's not likely.  His suicide was staged.

(She notices something.)

DET. EVANS:  It's an upside-down stamp.  What does that mean?

SARA:  I don't know.

SHORT TIME CUT TO:



SCENE #11:

[INT. HOTEL MONACO - BATHROOM - DAY]

(SARA uses the Red Creeper on the bathroom pipes.

SARA:  (impressed)  Wow.  This stuff rocks.  I love bathrooms.  Last time I 
printed a hotel bathroom, I had over 1,000 prints.

(SARA continues to dust the tub.  She finishes.)

SARA:  Okay ... close the doors and hit the lights, daddy-O.

(EVANS closes the bathroom doors and turns the lights off.  SARA uses her ALS 
and can't believe her findings.)

SARA:  Not a single print.  

DET. EVANS:  He wiped it clean.  

SARA:  Yeah.  This guy's a real pro.  Not only did he wipe it clean -- it's 
sterile.

FADE TO BLACK.

(COMMERCIAL SET)



FADE IN.

SCENE #12:

[INT. PAIGE HARMON'S RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM -- MORNING]  

(GRISSOM and CATHERINE interview PAIGE HARMON.)

PAIGE HARMON:  I thought you were going to tell me that you caught him.

GRISSOM:  Mrs. Harmon, we believe that the person who did this to your son may 
have done it to someone else and we need your help.

PAIGE HARMON:  Well, what can I do?

CATHERINE:  We talked to the second victim's girlfriend -- played his suicide 
recording for her.  She confirmed that it was his voice.  

PAIGE HARMON:  But I already told you that the voice on that tape was not my 
son's.

CATHERINE:  I know. We just need to be absolutely certain.  Do you have a 
recording of your son's voice so that we could tie the killings together?

GRISSOM:  Anything, Mrs. Harmon -- a home movie?  A recorded message off your 
answering machine?

PAIGE HARMON:  All I have are pictures.  

(She remembers something.)

PAIGE HARMON:  I may have something.

(She stands up and picks up a picture frame.)

PAIGE HARMON:  Royce gave this to me for mother's day last year.  (GRISSOM 
stands up.)  It's a talking frame.  It's all I have left.

ROYCE HARMON:  Hey, mom, it's Royce.  I know you're always complaining you don't 
hear my voice in the house anymore.  Well, now you can listen to it anytime you 
want.  I love you, mom.

PAIGE HARMON:  (softly):  I love you, too.

SCENE #13:

[INT. HOSPITAL - HALLWAY -- DAY]  

(WARRICK and NICK walk with DR. LEEVER down the hospital hallway.)

NICK:  Mr. Backseat going to make it?

DR. LEEVER:  Name's Walter Banglor.  He'll live.

NICK:  He well enough to talk?

DR. LEEVER:  Subdural hematoma, compound rib fractures ...

NICK:  All right, all right, I get the picture.  How long until we can see him?

DR. LEEVER:  I didn't say you couldn't see him.  

(DR. LEEVER turns and leads NICK and WARRICK into the hospital room.)

[HOSPITAL ROOM]

(He pushes the curtain aside.)

DR. LEEVER:  He's sedated.  If you want to talk to him you're going to have to 
wait until he comes off his meds in about 12 to 24 hours.

(NICK sighs.  WARRICK looks at WALTER BANGLOR.)

WARRICK:  Tan lines, no watch and no ring.

NICK:  Check his personal effects.  

(WARRICK picks up the envelope and checks its contents.  He spills it out onto 
the table.  A wallet falls out.)

NICK:  That's it?

WARRICK:  Must have been one hell of a fall to knock his watch and his ring off 
... 

(WARRICK shows NICK the empty wallet.)

WARRICK: ... and take his money.  

(NICK thinks about it.)

WARRICK:  So what do you say?  Do you want to up the stakes another hundred?  

(DR. LEEVER looks over at NICK.)

NICK:  To what, a deuce?

WARRICK:  (shrugs)  Say my foul play against your phantom driver?

NICK:  You bet.

(They seal the deal with a hand "shake".  DR. LEEVER watches and shakes his 
head, a half-smile on his face.)

SCENE #14:

[INT. CSI - DNA LAB -- MORNING]  

(SARA tests the "upside-down" stamp.)

GREG SANDERS:  Okay ... I've got Stuart Rampler's DNA profile ready.  All I need 
is something to compare it to.

SARA:  Coming right up.  Let's see if we can find out who this Licker is.  

(SARA hands the sample vial to GREG.  He puts it in the machine and switches it 
on.)

(Short time cut later:  The results print out.  GREG looks at it.)

SARA:  What do you got?

GREG SANDERS:  Well, according to the DNA Stuart Rampler licked the right-side-
up stamps.  

SARA:  What about the envelope with the upside-down stamp?

GREG SANDERS:  Well, it came back unknown.

SARA:  (thoughtful)  He's toying with us.

GREG SANDERS:  Who?

SARA:  Anonymous.

CUT TO:



SCENE #15:

[INT. CSI - GARAGE -- MORNING]  

(WARRICK walks into the garage to find NICK fuming the entire car.)

WARRICK:  Supergluing the entire car?  It's a little excessive, don't you think?

NICK:  Hey, man, this is war.

WARRICK:  (chuckling)  You know, I checked with six different medical centers, 
and no phantom driver at any of them.

NICK:  (waves it away)  Minor setback.  How about the 911 call?

WARRICK:  Las Vegas cell phone.  PD's putting a name to it.

NICK:  Good.

WARRICK:  What's all this?

NICK:  Car was rented from the airport three days ago.

WARRICK:  To ... ?

NICK:  Walter Banglor.  I figure Vegas vacation; side trip to Hoover Dam.

WARRICK:  Makes sense.

NICK:  Mm-hmm.

WARRICK:  You find his watch and ring?

NICK:  (grudgingly admits)  No.

WARRICK:  (laughing)  my pockets are getting fat!

NICK:  No, he travels light.  There was only a change of clothes in the damn 
suitcase.

WARRICK:  God, you see all that money in there?

NICK:  All right, the fumes have settled. Give me a hand.

WARRICK:  Yeah.

(They lift the plastic sheet off of the car.  NICK sees the prints on the 
wheel.)

NICK:  You can run ... but you can't hide.

(Camera cuts to the prints on the dashboard.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #16:

[INT. CSI - HALLWAY -- DAY]

(CATHERINE and GRISSOM walk through the hallway.)

CATHERINE:  "Disco Placid" -- what's that?

GRISSOM:  He's a jazz producer.  Specializes in audio.  Does voice comparisons 
for me from time to time.  He hears in perfect pitch.

CATHERINE:  Really?

GRISSOM:  He's gifted.

CUT TO:



SCENE #17:

[INT. BASEMENT - AUDIO ROOM -- DAY]  

(DISCO PLACID sits behind his equipment listing to the music on the ear phones 
and timing it with the watch in his hand.  Song overhead is "Ain't No Sunshine 
When She's Gone", by Bill Whithers.)

(GRISSOM and CATHERINE walk up to the doorway behind him.)

DISCO PLACID:  (sings along)  Yeah, better leave young thing alone / but ain't 
no sunshine when she's gone. 

(He sees them and smiles.  He takes off his earphones.)

GRISSOM:  I'm sorry to hear that.

DISCO PLACID:  Oh, that's Bill Withers, man.  The man cuts me up inside.

GRISSOM:  Catherine Willows, Disco Placid.

CATHERINE:  A pleasure.

DISCO PLACID:  A pleasure.

LYRICS:
 Ain't no sunshine when she's gone... 

GRISSOM:  How are we coming with our voice comparisons?

DISCO PLACID:  Got it right here.  All I got to do is, uh, heat this thing up.  
It's a mini-cassette recording of the first victim.  

ROYCE HARMON:  (on tape)  I'm going to kill myself.  

DISCO PLACID:  Comparing the "I love you's..."

ROYCE HARMON:  (on tape)  I just can't do it anymore.  I love you, mom.

DISCO PLACID:  Now the talking frame.

ROYCE HARMON:  (on tape)  Now you can listen to it anytime you want. I love you, 
mom.

DISCO PLACID:  Minnesota Twins.

CATHERINE:  The mother was wrong.  That is her son's voice.

DISCO PLACID:  I laid in both suicide notes in the computer, stripped the tracks 
one by one.  Picked this up in the b-ground.

(He plays the tape for them.)

ROYCE HARMON:  (on tape)  My name is Royce Harmon.  I reside at 7642 carpenter 
street, Las Vegas, Nevada.  I am 41 years of age.

GRISSOM:  What is that?

DISCO PLACID:  I don't know, man. It sound like a flag or a tarp or something.  
Give me a sec. I'll give it to you in a chinese to-go box.

CATHEIRNE:  Play the second victim's tape.

DISCO PLACID:  Okay.

STUART RAMPLER:  (on tape)  My name is Stuart Rampler.  I reside at 818 Boeing 
Hill Court, Las Vegas ...

(He turns the tape off.  Behind them, GRISSOM pulls out a sheet of paper and 
waves it making the same sound as the one on the tape recordings.)

CATHERINE:  No. Play it through.

STUART RAMPLER:  ... Nevada.  I am 43 years of age, and I'm going to kill 
myself.

GRISSOM:  Play them side by side.

BOTH RECORDINGS:  My name is Royce Harmon / Stuart Rampler / I reside at 818 
Boeing Hill / 7642 Carpenter Street.  Las Vegas, Nevada.  I am 41/43 years of 
age.

GRISSOM:  It's "fill in the blanks."

CATHERINE:  He's just reading from a suicide script.

(Again, GRISSOM waves the sheet of paper around.)

CATHERINE:  What do you think?

DISCO PLACID:  (smiles)  Disco.

CUT TO:



SCENE #18:

[INT. CSI - PRINT LAB -- MORNING]  

(NICK and WARRICK walk into the print lab.  MANDY doesn't look up from the 
scope.)

MANDY:  So I've got some good news and mysterious news.

NICK:  Give me the good news.

MANDY:  Well, your results are back from the prints on the car.  And your vic, 
Walter Banglor, is top of the list.

NICK:  It's a big list.

MANDY:  You fumed the entire car.  What did you expect?

WARRICK:  What's the mysterious news?

MANDY:  I found some speckles of blue dust in the ridges of Banglor's print.  
Here.  Look it.

(She steps aside from the scope.  WARRICK looks at it.)

NICK:  Let me see.  

(WARRICK moves aside and NICK looks at the scope.)

WARRICK:  What do you think?

NICK:  I have no idea.

CUT TO:



SCENE #19:

[INT. CSI - BREAK ROOM -- DAY]  

(SARA fills GRISSOM and CATHERINE in on what she's found.)

SARA:  I did some comparative digging on both victims -- Royce Harmon and Stuart 
Rampler.  Both are white males in their 40s, single and ... both have the same 
birthday.

GRISSOM:  Royce Harmon, born August 17, 1958.  Stuart Rampler, born August 17, 
1957.  One year apart.

CATHERINE:  Okay, so maybe it's some reverse or backwards pattern.  August 17, 
1958 ... 1957. The suicide message was recorded backwards; the postage stamp was 
upside-down ...

SARA:  Yeah.

GRISSOM:  Maybe he's telling us, in order to go forward, go back.  Sara, go back 
one more year -- August 17, 1956.  See if anything pops up with the same M.O.

SARA:  I'm gone.

(SARA leaves the office.  MANDY appears in the doorway.)

MANDY:  Mr. Grissom, the prints are back from Stuart Rampler's mini-recorder.

CUT TO:



SCENE #20:

[INT. CSI - PRINT LAB - CONTINUOUS]

(CATHERINE and GRISSOM walk into the lab where MANDY sits in front of the 
computer.)

GRISSOM:  Can we see the print?

MANDY:  Not print-- prints.

CATHERINE:  What do you mean?  It's more than one person?

MANDY:  It's two thumbprints overlapped.

GRISSOM:  Can you separate them?

MANDY:  Yeah.  Running both prints through AFIS.

(The first print comes back "UNKNOWN".  The second print comes back 
"COMPLIANCE".)

MANDY:  How can that be?

(MANDY works on the keyboard and stands up to look at the printout.)

CATHERINE:  "Compliance"?

GRISSOM:  Someone within the department?  

(MANDY looks at the results, then glances at CATHERINE.  She looks at GRISSOM.)

GRISSOM:  What?

MANDY:  Uh, Catherine, can you excuse us for a moment?  I need to speak with Mr. 
Grissom in private.

(CATHERINE glances at GRISSOM.)

GRISSOM:  Anything you have to say to me you can say to her.

MANDY:  Well, the top print came back Paul Millander.

GRISSOM:  I expected that.  He's the guy who makes the rubber hands.  I've 
already cleared him.  What about the compliance -- the bottom print?

MANDY:  It came back you.

CATHERINE:  It's Grissom's print?  

(MANDY nods.)

CATHERINE:  Wait a minute.  Somebody got ahold of your prints.

GRISSOM:  How?  I wear gloves at every crime scene.  I was printed for the job.  
We all were.

CATHERINE:  Well, somebody's obviously making this personal.  They could've got 
your print from a glass that you touched at a restaurant.  From a latex glove 
that you discarded and they turned inside out ... 

(CATHERINE sighs.)

CATHERINE:  Oh, god ... 

(GRISSOM thinks about it and something occurs to him.  He looks at the monitor, 
the one print over the other.)

GRISSOM:  I get it.  Whoever it is is telling me that he's got me under his 
thumb.

FADE TO BLACK.

SCENE #21:

[INT. CSI - BREAK ROOM -- DAY]  

(NICK is in the break room reading something.  WARRICK walks in.)

WARRICK:  So ... who's your phantom driver?

NICK:  Possibly a cop from Philly.  Or a ... a nurse from Omaha.  Don't forget 
the mail carrier from Nashville.  (NICK laughs as he looks at the list of 
names.)

WARRICK:  Man, it's a rental.  Those prints are probably older than you are.

NICK:  Well, this is going nowhere.

WARRICK:  You giving up?

NICK:  No, no, no, no.  We're still on.  I may be stalled, but I'm not out.

WARICK:  You want to take it to three?

NICK:  You want to take it to three?  

(They agree and seal the deal by knocking knuckles.)

NICK:  You still think he was robbed?

WARRICK:  Tan lines where his ring and watch used to be.  On vacation in Vegas, 
but no money in his wallet.  His face all bruised up before he took that 
cliffside tumble.  Damn right, I think he was robbed.

(Quick flashback to:  [WARRICK'S VERSION]  A man runs out into the street to 
flag down the moving car.  

MOTORIST:  Hey!

(Inside the car, WALTER BANGLOR puts the bottle down to brake.)

MOTORIST:  Hey!

(The car swerves and crashes through the railing and stops halfway over the edge 
of the hill.  WALTER BANGLOR leans back in his seat.)

(The front door opens and the MOTORIST

MOTORIST:  You all right, man?

WALTER BANGLOR:  Yeah.  Yeah, I guess so.

(The MOTORIST pulls a gun on WALTER BANGLOR.)

MOTORIST:  I want the ring, the watch and all your cash.

WALTER BANGLOR:  Okay, all right.

MOTORIST:  Come on.

WALTER BANGLOR:  All right, all right.

(He hands over money, watch and ring.)

MOTORIST:  Now get your ass in the back.

WALTER BANGLOR:  What?

MOTORIST:  I said get your ass in the back!

(WALTER BANGLOR crawls into the back seat.)

MOTORIST:  Strap in.

WALTER BANGLOR:  Okay.  

(He straps himself in.  The MOTORIST runs around to the back of the car and 
pushes it over.)

WALTER BANGLOR:  What are you doing?

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

NICK:  He lays in wait, he robs him, he tries to kill him, but he lets him 
buckle in?

WARRICK:  I don't think the robber expected Banglor to get drunk and go crash 
his car.  He probably freaked and put him in the back seat trying to fool me 
into thinking someone else was driving.  But he only fooled you.

NICK:  What about the blue dust, Warrick?

WARRICK:  What about it?

NICK:  Don't you think it matters?

WARRICK:  Maybe.  There's other questions to answer first.

NICK:  Okay, like?

WARRICK:  Footprints and tire tracks.

NICK:  (nods and whispers)  I hate you.

WARRICK:  You love me.  Who you kidding?

SCENE #22:

[INT. HOLLOWEIRD - MAIN WAREHOUSE -- DAY]  

(GRISSOM walks into the warehouse, looking for PAUL MILLANDER.  In the back of 
the warehouse, PAUL MILLANDER is working on a sculture.)

GRISSOM:  Mr. Millander?

PAUL MILLANDER:  Hey, it's the forensics guy.  I forgot your name.  I-I'm sorry.

GRISSOM:  Gil Grissom.

(They shake hands.)

PAUL MILLANDER:  Hi, Mr. Grissom.  It's been a couple of months.  How are you, 
sir?

GRISSOM:  I'm okay.  What are you making?

(He turns the head around to show GRISSOM.)

PAUL MILLANDER:  I-I-I call it ... "Good versus Evil."  You like it?

GRISSOM:  Yeah, it reminds me of our supervisor on days.

PAUL MILLANDER:  So, what brings you down to my humble abode?

GRISSOM:  I have a couple of questions regarding that staged suicide.  Remember?

PAUL MILLANDER:  Yeah. How's that going?

GRISSOM:  Not too well.

PAUL MILLANDER:  Say, w-would you like a cup of coffee?  I got instant.

GRISSOM:  Sure.  

CUT TO:



SCENE #23:

[INT. HOLLOWEIRD -- BACKROOM -- DAY]  

(PAUL MILLANDER walks in the back to get the coffee.  GRISSOM follows him and 
looks around.)

GRISSOM:  I envy you, Mr. Millander.  I do.  You can work by yourself ... no one 
around to bother you.  You just ... do what you do.  I'd love to have that kind 
of autonomy.  

PAUL MILLANDER:  It's really all I know.  I ... started out doing ice carvings 
but the artwork never lasted.

(GRISSOM chuckles.)

GRISSOM:  I know what you mean.  

(PAUL hands GRISSOM his drink.)

GRISSOM:  Thank you.

PAUL MILLANDER:  Let's sit.  

(They both sit down.)

PAUL MILLANDER:  How can I help you?

GRISSOM:  Do you remember the, uh, rubber hand mold that you made from your own 
hand?

PAUL MILLANDER:  How could I forget?

GRISSOM:  Well, whoever the perpetrator is has killed again.  And again, your 
print came up.  So I was hoping you could help me.

PAUL MILLANDER:  Sure.

GRISSOM:  The last time we talked, you told me that you had sold several 
thousand units last Halloween?

PAUL MILLANDER:  Bestseller. Yes, sir.

GRISSOM:  Could you provide me with a list of your distributors?

PAUL MILLANDER:  I really don't have a list.  Uh ... Why?

GRISSOM:  I was hoping to do a credit card search ... go back ten days before 
the first murder occurred ... try and run some names ... see if any priors pop 
up.

PAUL MILLANDER:  I would really love to help you, Mr. Grissom, but ... I just 
don't keep track of ... of individual purchasers.  I-I-I'm just a wholesaler.  I 
don't ... I don't crunch numbers.  I-I just ... spook the children.

GRISSOM:  Of course you do.  I'm sure you do it well.

(GRISSOM leans back in his chair and takes a sip from his cup.)

SCENE #24:

[INT. CSI - RESEARCH ROOM -- DAY]  

(WARRICK looks through a binder full of shoe prints.  He flips the page and 
finds the match.)

WARRICK:  Finally.

(NICK walks into the room.  He's eating an apple.)

NICK:  Hey, partner, you get a match yet?  Ooh! Converse all-star.

WARRICK:  Size 11.

NICK:  And you needed all the books for that?  

(NICK takes a seat.)

NICK:  Those soles have been around 20 years.

WARRICK:  I needed to be sure.

NICK:  You look tired, buddy.  You want me to make you a bottle, go nigh-nigh?

WARRICK:  You want me to clack that jaw, make you go nigh-nigh?

NICK:  (rubbing it in)  You should have worked the tire tracks.  Jimmy in trace 
put together a digital catalog of treads ... has thousands on file.  Took me 
three minutes.

(NICK tosses the file folder onto the desk in front of WARRICK.  WARRICK looks 
at the results.)

WARRICK:  Pirelli low profile p-zeros.  High performance.

NICK:  And standard on your alleged getaway vehicle ... the '99 Bentley Arnage, 
red label.  It's a sweet ride, man -- handcrafted.  So, how many people in Vegas 
you think drive that kind of price tag?

CUT TO:



SCENE #25:

[INT. CSI - HALLWAY]

BRASS:  Three.  Did a DMV search.

WARRICK:  Any reported stolen?

BRASS:  Yeah, one.  Last week.  It came in a couple of hours ago.  

(BRASS holds up the photos.)

BRASS:  Take a look.

(He gives them the photos.)

NICK:  Oh-ho!  So sweet!

(WARRICK grabs a photo and compares it to the tire marks in the folder.)

WARRICK:  Check this.  One-to-one says that's the car.

BRASS:  Yeah, well, don't bet the sub shop, Warrick.  That's about all the 
evidence you're going to get out of the Bentley.  We found it at a car wash off 
of warm springs.  It's been vacuumed detailed -- the whole works.  It's cleaner 
than brand-new.

(NICK smiles.)

NICK:  Well, I wish Banglor's rental car company were as considerate as your 
thief.

(He slaps WARRICK on the back and chuckles as he leaves.)

SCENE #25:

[INT. CSI - GRISSOM'S OFFICE -- DAY]  

(BRASS walks into GRISSOM'S office.)

BRASS:  Dr. Livingston.  Your dead man is making cash withdrawals.

GRISSOM:  Which one?  The first victim or the second?

BRASS:  The second. Stuart  Rampler.  The bank called.  His ATM card showed a 
couple of withdrawals  after his time of death.

GRISSOM:  (pleased)  ATM machines take photographs every three seconds.  Maybe 
we can get a Kodak moment of this guy.  I want the machine here.  I want prints. 
I want film.  I want everything.

BRASS:  The whole machine?

GRISSOM:  Yeah, the whole machine.

BRASS:  Okay.

(BRASS turns and leaves the office.)

SCENE #26:

[INT. CSI - EVIDENCE ROOM -- NIGHT]  

(NICK goes over WALTER BANGLOR'S clothing.  NICK finds a blue stain near the 
jean's button fly.  He takes a sample of it just as WARRICK walks into the 
room.)

WARRICK:  You got his clothes?

NICK:  That's right.

WARRICK:  What are you doing?  His laundry?

(NICK holds up the swab.)

NICK:  Something to compare our mystery blue dust to.

WARRICK:  Ah.

SCENE #27:

[INT. CSI - DNA LAB -- NIGHT]  

(GREG starts testing the blue substance.)

GREG SANDERS:  So ... what's the pot up to?

NICK:  (flatly)  We don't bet on cases.

GREG SANDERS:  Ah.  Of course you don't.  So who's winning?

WARRICK/NICK (BOTH):  I am.

GREG SANDERS:  Fiends.  

(GREG puts the sample vial in the machine and runs it.)

(Short time cut to:  The printer prints the results.)

GREG SANDERS:  Your mystery dust is ... silicon blue dye.

WARRICK:  What's that?

GREG SANDERS:  Pool cue chalk.

SCENE #28:

[INT. CSI - BREAK ROOM -- NIGHT]  

(Inside the break room, NICK and WARRICK revamp their scenarios.  WARRICK sits 
and listens as NICK stands, pacing the floor and playing with a football in his 
hand.)

NICK:  Banglor's shooting stick with the phantom driver ... tosses a few back 
... piles into the rental ... ...I-93, Hoover Dam.  But don't drink and drive.  
You might spill your drink ... car skids ... bangs into the railing ... 

(Quick flash to:  [NICK'S THEORY]  The car going through the railing.  End of 
flashback.  Resume to present.)

NICK:  ... see-saws ...

(Quick flash to:  The car teetering over the edge.  End of flashback.  Resume to 
present.)

NICK:  ... on the edge ... what does the driver do?  Man, he bails.  He leaves 
Banglor in the back seat to take the fall.  

(Quick flashback to:  The PHANTOM DRIVER leaps over the railing and runs down 
the road.  End of flashback  Resume to present.)

NICK:  Literally.

(Quick flashback to:  The car falls down the ravine, WALTER BANGLOR inside, 
screaming.  End of flashback  Resume to present.)

NICK:  Fingerprints, grooves, footprints:  All the bases are covered.  Victim, 
suspect, crime scene.  Like a laxative ... 

(Done, he tosses the foot ball to WARRICK, who catches it.)

NICK:  It works.

(NICK sits down and exhales.  WARRICK thinks about it and starts his own 
theory.)

WARRICK:  Banglor shooting stick -- I'll give you that.  Burping bourbons -- 
I'll give you that, too.  But he left solo.  A few miles down the road, 

(WARRICK stands up and starts pacing the room as he goes over his scenario, 
evidence by evidence.)

WARRICK:  ... Bentley thief flags him down ... 

(Quick flashback to:  [WARRICK'S THEORY]  The MOTORIST flags the car down.  End 
of flashback  Resume to present.)

WARRICK:  ... spooks him into a skid ... boom, crash!  

(Quick flashback to:  The car headlights.  End of flashback  Resume to present.)

WARRICK:  He's robbed ... forced into the back ... pushed over the edge.  

(Quick flashback to:  The MOTORIST pushes the car over the edge of the hill.  
End of flashback  Resume to present.)

WARRICK:  With Banglor out of the way, the thief gets in his stolen Bentley ... 
hightails it out of there.  No watch ... no rings, no cash ... stolen Bentley 
tire treads, converse all-star size 11 ... all bases covered.  Victim, suspect, 
crime scene.  Like a canary ... it sings.

(Done, WARRICK tosses the ball to NICK.  He catches it.  WARRICK takes a seat.)

NICK:  You know, I hate to admit it ... but I like your theory.  It does work.

WARRICK:  I was sitting here thinking the same thing about your phantom driver.

NICK:  So, what do you think?  Can two solid theories, each backed by evidence 
both be correct?

(WARRICK shrugs.  NICK tosses the football to WARRICK.)

SCENE #29:

[INT. CSI - PHOTO LAB -- DAY]  

(Everyone watches the bank ATM machine security camera footage.  On the monitor, 
a bum stands directly in front of the camera.  A second person stands off to the 
side directing the bum.  He hands the bum the card.)

GRISSOM:  (o.s.)  There. There's our guy ... handing it off.

(On screen, the man on the side hands the bum a stack of cue cards.  The bum 
turns the cards one after the other in front of the camera.)

GRISSOM:  Life ... like holding a dove.

GRISSOM:  Hold it too hard ... 

CATHERINE:  ... you kill it.

GRISSOM:  Hold it too soft ... 

SARA:  ...and it'll fly away.

(The bum continues to flip the cards.  Thinking that he's done, the bum turns to 
the side to walk away, but the man pushes him back in front of the camera to 
continue flipping the cards.)

CATHERINE:  :Have we located this bum?

GRISSOM:  Brass's guys are looking for him.  Okay ... significance of the 
flipping?

CATHERINE:  He's obviously making a point.

SARA:  What does the dove symbolize?  Peace.

CATHERINE:  But I don't think it's peace in terms of ... human civility or 
unrest.  I think maybe it's "peace of mind."  (beat)  What do you have to attain 
to have peace of mind?  (realizing)  Justice.

GRISSOM:  "I'm going to keep doing this over and over again until I get 
Justice."

HARD CUT TO BLACK.

SCENE #30:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM -- NIGHT]  

(GRISSOM opens the interview room.  Inside is the bum.)

BRASS:  How you doing?

GRISSOM:  (looking at the bum)  Hmm.  How'd you find him?

BRASS:  We canvassed a square-mile radius of the ATM machine.  Started throwing 
bums hamburgers out the car window in a nice tight spiral.  They ratted him out 
in 20 minutes.

BRASS:  You want to tell him how you were approached?

BUM:  You know, I think better when I eat.

BRASS:  No kidding?

GRISSOM:  Jim, call the steak house at Circus.  Get this fella a porterhouse.  

(BRASS picks up the phone.)

BRASS:  How do you like it -- Medium rare?  No, you look like a well-done kind 
of guy.

BUM:  Rare.

[INT. HOSPITAL - HALLWAY -- NIGHT]

(The door opens.  NICK and WARRICK walk into the room.)

NICK:  Hey, hey. How are you feeling, Mr. Banglor?

WALTER BANGLOR:  Uh, better, I guess.  I understand last night was exciting, 
though.

WARRICK:  Yeah.  

NICK:  I'm going to come right out and say it.  What happened to you is not 
right.  The person responsible needs to be brought to justice.  You tell me who 
that person is.  Who was driving that car?

WALTER BANGLOR:  Who the hell are you guys?

(WARRICK and NICK both talk at the same time.)

WARRICK:  I'm Warrick ...
NICK:  I'm Nick ...

(They stop and look at each other.)

NICK:  I'm Nick Stokes.  This is Warrick Brown.  We're with criminalistics.  
We've been working your accident.

WARRICK:  Actually, sir, I-I don't think it was an accident.  I think you were 
robbed and any information that you remember about your attacker would be very 
helpful.

WALTER BANGLOR:  I wasn't attacked.  

(At this, WARRICK'S face falls.)

WALTER BANGLOR:  I was drunk .. really drunk.  

(At this, NICK'S face falls.)

WALTER BANGLOR:  No way I should've been driving that car.

(Quick flashback to:  [POOL BAR]  WALTER BANGLOR looses another game and puts 
his pool stick down on the table.  He sighs.)

WALTER BANGLOR:  Yeah!  I guess that's enough for me.

POOL PLAYER:  Then it's time to pay up.

(Cut to:  WALTER BANGLOR looks into his wallet, then glances at the POOL PLAYER 
in front of him.)

WALTER BANGLOR:  Looks like I'm a little short.

(He chuckles.  The POOL PLAYER turns to the THUG behind him and motions to 
WALTER.)

POOL PLAYER:  Hit him.  Take everything he's got.

(The THUG hits WALTER in the stomach and in the face.)

(Cut to:  WALTER BANGLOR is driving home.  He's drinking as he's driving.  He's 
not paying attention to the road and is startled awake when the truck headed 
toward him honks his horn.)

WALTER BANGLOR:  Jeez!

(WALTER gets control over his car and swerves.  He crashes through the railing 
and teeters on the edge of the cliff.)

(To balance the car, WALTER crawls into the back seat.  He fastens himself in 
just as the car tilts over the edge.  And like a wild park ride, the car rolls 
down the hillside.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

WARRICK:  You mean you got hustled?

WALTER BANGLOR:  I won the first game.

NICK:  (astonished)  You climbed in the back seat yourself?

WALTER BANGLOR:  Yeah.

WARRICK:  So buckling up ... really did save your life.  You know that?

WALTER BANGLOR:  Yeah, I guess it did.

WARRICK:  You get well, okay?

NICK:  Glad we could help.

(They both walk out of the room.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #33:

[INT. HOSPITAL - HALLWAY - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]  

(NICK and WARRICK walk out of the room and into the hallway.)

NICK:  Well, the only thing we didn't factor in was his will to live.

WARRICK:  And the Bentley thief, size 11--  he could've been at that crime scene 
anytime last week.  So we push on the bet?  No winner?

NICK:  (agreed)  No loser.  

(NICK'S pager goes off.  The wall clock reads 4:02.  NICK checks his pager.)

NICK:  406.  Burglary.  Double or nothing?

WARRICK:  You're talking to the wrong guy.

(They both walk out.)

SCENE #34:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM -- NIGHT]  

(The BUM finishes his meal.)

BRASS:  Can we start again, please?

GRISSOM:  Now, how did this man approach you?

BUM:  He walked up to me.  Told me he'd give me a hundred bucks if I flip some 
cards.

BRASS:  He pay you cash?

BUM:  (nods)  Mm-hmm.  A hundred-dollar bill.

GRISSOM:  You still have it?  

(The BUM doesn't answer.)

GRISSOM:  How tall was this man?  Was he ... shorter or taller than Mr. Brass 
here?

(BRASS stands up.)

BUM:  A hair taller.

GRISSOM:  By a hair, do you mean the hair of a rabbit or the hair of grizzly 
bear?

BUM:  Somewhere in the middle.

GRISSOM:  Okay.  Let's say he was five-ten.  What else do you remember about 
this man?

(BRASS takes a seat.)

BUM:  He had a narrow chin.  Uh ... his eyes were blue -- deep-sea blue, you 
know?  Uh, jet-black hair uh, Spock-like ears pointed nose, bushy eyebrows.  
Sunken cheeks with a bad complexion, almost pock-faced.  

(As he talks, GRISSOM puts it together.)

BUM:  Uh ... thin as a soda cracker and his clothes were wrinkled, like, uh, he 
slept in them.  Oh ... and when he spoke, he spoke with a ...

GRISSOM:  (realizing)  ... stutter.

BUM:  Yeah.

GRISSOM:  Paul Millander.  He set me up.  (surges to his feet, angry)  Son of a 
bitch!  I had him and I let him go!

(Quick flashback to:  [HOLLOWEIRD]  GRISSOM talks with PAUL MILLANDER.)

GRISSOM:  You ever make any rubber hands?

(Cut to:  GRISSOM shows PAUL MILLANDER the rubber hand.)

PAUL MILLANDER:  I sold ten thousand of those units last Halloween.  Even used 
my own hand for the mold.

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

(GRISSOM is angry ... with himself.  BRASS watches GRISSOM.)

SCENE #35:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - HALLWAY -- NIGHT]  

(GRISSOM fills CATHERINE, SARA and BRASS in on his findings.)

GRISSOM:  So when I picked up the hand he must have lifted my print, Catherine.

CATHERINE:  Latex rubber surface, freshly dried paint a snip of scotch tape - 

SARA:  It wouldn't be that hard to lift and replant.

GRISSOM:  Sara, we'll be on headsets.  Run everything you can on Paul Millander.  
Use forenz-l use nexus, search anything and everything.

BRASS:  I'll call the brigade.

SCENE #36:

[INT. CSI - RESEARCH ROOM -- NIGHT]

SARA:  Typing in search word:  Paul Millander.  Here it is. Paul Millander:  

INTERCUT WITH:

[MOVING VEHICLE - NIGHT]

SARA:  (from radio)  Age 42, five-eleven, male caucasian.  Address not on file.  
No criminal record.

GRISSOM:  Keep looking.  Listen, check the business database.  Search word: 
"Halloweird."

(SARA does a search.)

SARA:  There's no listing, Grissom.

GRISSOM:  How can that be?  I was just there.

CATHERINE:  (to radio)  Change databases.  Newspaper index, periodicals index -- 
just keep trying.

SARA:  (from radio)  I got something out of the newspaper index.

GRISSOM:  What is it?

SARA:  (reading)  "Two hotel security guards exonerated in alleged 'staged' 
suicide.  Boy's testimony shaky.  Paul Millander, age ten, testified that he 
watched in the closet while his father, John, was escorted by two hotel security 
guards into his own bathtub at gunpoint where he was found shot to death.  
Official cause of death was ruled ..."

GRISSOM:  (to radio)  ... suicide.  (from radio)  Check the date.

(SARA runs the search.)

SARA:  Catherine, you were right.  August 17, 1959, it's a pattern.

CATHERINE:  So he was killing men who were born on the same day that his father 
died.

CUT TO:



[EXT. HOLLOWEIRD - NIGHT]

(The police vehicle stops.  OFFICERS suited up exit the back of the van.  
Additional OFFICER vehicles arrive at the scene.  BRASS exits his car, gun 
drawn.  GRISSOM and CATHERINE stick their heads out of the van after all the 
OFFICERS exit.)

(The OFFICERS break down the warehouse door.)

SCENE #37:

[INT. HOLLOWEIRD - WAREHOUSE -- NIGHT]  

(The OFFICERS search the warehouse.  It's completely empty.  Everything's gone.)

OFFICER:  All clear.  

(GRISSOM, CATHERINE and BRASS walk into the empty warehouse.  In the center is a 
single stool with an envelope on it.)

(GRISSOM takes out his gloves and looks at the envelope.  He opens it and takes 
out the single piece of paper inside.)

CATHERINE:  Blank.  What's that mean?

GRISSOM:  We have nothing.

CUT TO:



SCENE #38:

[INT. CSI - RECEPTION -- NIGHT]  

(The RECEPTIONIST looks up from her desk at PAUL MILLANDER.)

PAUL MILLANDER:  Mr. Grissom in?

RECEPTIONIST:  No. He's out on assignment.  

(PAUL looks around and sees the security camera in the corner nearby.)

RECEPTIONIST:  Do you want to leave him a message?

PAUL MILLANDER:   No. Just tell him a friend stopped by.

RECEPTIONIST:  A friend?

PAUL MILLANDER:  (nods)  A friend. He'll know. 

(PAUL steps away to leave.  He walks in front of the security camera and waves.  
He walks out.)

SCENE #01:

[EXT. COLLINS' HOUSE - NIGHT]

(Camera opens on the front of the Collins' mail box.  The sprinkler system is 
on.)

(Camera pushes in slowly to the bunny lawn decorations near the mail box.)

(The sprinkler system shuts off.)

(After a moment, the front door opens and a woman screams.)

TINA COLLINS:  (screaming)  Help me!  

(TINA COLLINS runs out of the house.)

TINA COLLINS:  (screaming)  Oh, god, help me!  Somebody, please!  Please ... oh, 
god!  Somebody help me!

(TINA COLLINS runs across the front lawn and out into the street, still 
screaming at the top of her lungs.)

TINA COLLINS:  Please!  Help me!  Help me!

(She runs to the next door neighbor's, the lights in the house having turned on 
at the screams.)

TINA COLLINS:  Help me!  Help me!  Please!

(She reaches the front door and starts pounding on it.)

SCENE #02:

[EXT. NEIGHBORHOOLD - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(Emergency vehicles and Officer cars surround the house.  GRISSOM drives up to 
the scene, the dispatch radio on in his car.)  

(GRISSOM parks the car and exits the vehicle.  He meets up with DET. O'RILEY.  
They head for the house.)

GRISSOM:  Hey.

DET. O'RILEY:  Heads up.  The press is going to be all over this one.

GRISSOM:  Did the count change since you called me?

DET. O'RILEY:  Four dead: Mother, father, two teenage boys.  The sisters were 
luckier.  

(He points to a girl talking with an officer off to the side.  She has a blanket 
wrapped around her.)

DET. O'RILEY:  Teen girl heard a noise, hid in the closet.  Alerted the 
neighbors after all the shouting was done.  

(He points to a little girl sitting in the front seat of the police car.)

DET. O'RILEY:  Younger sister's over there.  They couldn't have killed their 
father tag team -- soaking wet.

(GRISSOM looks at the house and sees an OFFICER run out of the house, a 
handkerchief pressed tightly to his mouth.  He rushes toward the bushes at the 
side of the house to throw up.)

GRISSOM:  What's the matter with your guys?

DET. O'RILEY:  They've been inside.

(DET. O'RILEY puts his notebook into his coat pocket and walks away.)

(Grimly, GRISSOM stares at the house.  He sighs.)

FADE IN.

SCENE #03:

[EXT. COLLINS HOUSE - NEAR FRONT DOOR -- NIGHT]

(GRISSOM and SHIBLEY walk toward the open front door.)

GRISSOM:  Put your equipment down, son.  

(SHIBLEY puts his kit down.  GRISSOM signs in and hands the board back to the 
officer at the door.  He hands a pair of latex gloves to SHIBLEY.  GRISSOM'S 
thoughts are at what lies beyond.  GRISSOM puts his own gloves up.)

GRISSOM:  Put these on.  I'm going to do a preliminary walk-through.  You're 
going to take my notes.  

CUT TO:

[INT. COLLINS' HOUSE - FRONT DOOR - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM and SHIBELY walk inside.)

(GRISSOM looks around.  He sees the framed family photograph on the wall.)

(SHIBLEY also looks around and sees the light switch.  He moves to turn it on.  
GRISSOM stops him.)

GRISSOM:  Don't touch that!  I want everything exactly the way it was.  

(SHIBLEY withdraws.  GRISSOM looks around and sees the stairs leading up to the 
second floor.  On the way up, they pass more framed family photographs hanging 
on the wall.)

GRISSOM:  The air smells like copper.  Lots of blood.  Breathe through your 
mouth.

SHIBLEY:  Yes, sir.

(On the stairway, they pass a statue of a rabbit in front of a photograph of 
rabbits.)

(They reach the second floor.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #04:

[INT. COLLINS HOUSE - SECOND FLOOR - HALLWAY - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(The first thing they see down the hallway is a pair of feet of the first dead 
body.  There is blood spatter on the hallway walls.  GRISSOM turns the corner 
and looks down at the body.)

GRISSOM:  Male caucasian approximately 40 years old lying in a pool of blood.  

(GRISSOM walks cautiously around the body.  SHIBLEY appears and takes a look at 
the body as he writes.  GRISSOM kneels down next to the body.)

GRISSOM:  No drag marks.  Body does not appear to have been moved.  Multiple 
stab wounds to the back and neck.  Looks like a single-edged blade.  Force to 
such a degree that the left and right internal jugular veins have been 
transected.  Head faces west.  Feet pointing east.  Approximately two feet from 
the north wall, one foot from the south.

SHIBLEY:  (swallows as he's getting sick)  Could ... could you take your own 
notes?  I think that I'm going to be sick.

(Behind him, SARA appears.  She looks at SHIBLEY and grabs the clipboard from 
him.)

SARA:  I got it.  Go get some fresh air.  

(SHIBLEY leaves, coughing as he goes.  GRISSOM stares at SARA.)

SARA:  I heard on the scanner.  Quadruple.  Figured you might need a hand.

GRISSOM:  You don't sleep, do you?

SARA:  (shakes her head, unoffended)  No.  

(GRISSOM turns back to look around.  SARA also looks around and latches on the 
bullseye symbol on the wall.)

SARA:  Blood swirl on the wall.  Are you thinking cult?  Manson?

GRISSOM:  (shakes his head, he doesn't know)  Somebody left a message.  I need 
to see the rest of it.

(GRISSOM looks around.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #05:

[INT. COLLINS HOUSE - SECOND FLOOR - MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM and SARA walk into the Master Bedroom.  They walk toward the bed.  On 
the bed, Mrs. Collins is dead.)

(GRISSOM recites; SARA writes.)

GRISSOM:  Female Caucasian.  Appears to be one stab wound to the throat.  
Transection of left and right carotid arteries with exsanguinating hemorrhage.  
No defense marks.  Cursory opinion:  She was killed in her sleep.

(SARA looks around.  Listening.  GRISSOM also stops and looks around.  In the 
silence, they can hear it.  Something's dripping.)

(They both lean in toward the body.)

(Her blood hasn't clotted and is dripping down her fingertips to the floor.)

GRISSOM:  (sighs)  Do you feel this?

SARA:  (nods)  (quietly)  Her soul's still in the room.

GRISSOM:  But there's something else.

CUT TO:



SCENE #06:

[EXT. COLLINS HOUSE - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(SARA takes a picture of the dead woman.  GRISSOM walks out of the room and down 
the hall.  He follows the blood spatter on the floor back to the body of MR. 
COLLINS.)

(GRISSOM stops in front of the door that MR. COLLINS is in front of.  It's 
BRENDA'S room.  GRISSOM pushes the door open and walks into the room.  He looks 
around.  It appears to be a normal little girl's room.)

(Cut to:  GRISSOM pushes the door open and walks into the sons' room.  One of 
the boys is dead on the bed.  GRISSOM lifts the sheet and looks underneath.)

(He checks the windows.)

(He looks at the other empty bed in the room.  On the mirror is another bull's 
eye symbol.  GRISSOM walks toward it and looks at it.)

(In the mirror's reflection, he finds the second son's body on the floor between 
the bed and the wall.  He turns around to look at the body.  The little boy was 
stabbed in the back.  GRISSOM looks up and sees two bloodied hand prints on the 
wall.  He closes his eyes at the sight.)

SHORT TIME CUT TO:



SCENE #06:

[EXT. COLLINS' RESIDENCE - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM walks out of the house.  He walks up to DET. O'RILEY.)

DET. O'RILEY:  You want a barf bag?

GRISSOM:  (firmly)  I want the paramedics that were in this house back here 
immediately -- police escort.  Get them on this front lawn now.

(GRISSOM walks up to the next OFFICER.)

DET. O'RIELY:  You'd think I work for you instead of the other way around.

GRISSOM:  (to the OFFICER)  Call dispatch.  You tell my entire graveyard shift 
that I want them here ASAP -- all of them-- no exceptions.  

(The OFFICER leaves.  GRISSOM turns to look at SARA.)

GRISSOM:  Sara, those photos -- blown up times ten.  Tell the lab that we need 
every forensics tool available to us here right away.  This is the only crime 
scene in Las Vegas tonight.

SARA:  Yes, sir.

(GRISSOM turns and walks away.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #07:

[EXT. COLLINS HOUSE - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(A reporter standing outside the house gives her news report.)

REPORTER 1 (WOMAN):  The fear in this neighborhood just South of Las Vegas 
Boulevard is almost palpable.  Scott Collins, his wife and two sons were 
brutally murdered in their beds.  

(Camera moves past the woman reporter to another woman reporter behind her ... )

REPORTER 2 (WOMAN):  ... the murder of four innocent ...

(Camera moves past the camera view screen for the first reporter ... )

REPORTER 1 (WOMAN):  Authorities thus far have offered no comment fueling the 
fears of the neighbors that a killer is on the loose.

REPORTER 3 (MAN):  (o.s.)  ... A multiple murder.  And we will have more on this 
...

(Camera lingers on the neighbors standing outside and watching.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #08:

[EXT. COLLINS HOUSE - FRONT LAWN - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM walks up to DET. O'RILEY who is talking with TINA COLLINS.)

DET. O'RILEY:  It's okay.  We'll give you clothes.  The lab guys just want to 
see yours.

GRISSOM:  Sergeant, may I?

(DET. O'RILEY steps aside.  GRISSOM looks at TINA.)

GRISSOM:  Tina ... I'm very sorry about what happened to you tonight.  But 
everything we take from your house can help us find out what happened to your 
family.

TINA COLLINS:  (crying)  When can I be with my sister?  She's so scared.

(TINA looks over at BRENDA who is sitting quietly in the front of the police 
car.)

GRISSOM:  Soon.  Detective?

(A woman detective steps up to stand next to TINA COLLINS.  GRISSOM turns and 
heads for the police car.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #09:

[EXT. COLLINS HOUSE - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]  

(GRISSOM walks up to the police car.)

GRISSOM:  (to the OFFICER)  Thanks.

(The OFFICER steps aside and GRISSOM kneels down in front of BRENDA COLLINS.  
BRENDA doesn't look at GRISSOM.)

GRISSOM:  Hi.  Is your name Brenda?  

(BRENDA blinks, then looks at GRISSOM.)

GRISSOM:  I'm trying to find out who hurt your family.  Do you think you could 
help me?  Did anyone come into your room tonight?  Through the door?  Through 
the window maybe?  

(BRENDA doesn't say anything.)

GRISSOM:  (nods)  Okay.

(GRISSOM stands up and turns to leave.  BRENDA stops him.)

BRENDA COLLINS:  (softly)  The buffalo.

(GRISSOM turns around to look at BRENDA.  He kneels back down in front of her.)

GRISSOM:  The buffalo?  Who's the buffalo?  

(BRENDA doesn't respond.  And she doesn't look at GRISSOM.)

GRISSOM:  Brenda?

(Sensing he's not going to get any more from her, he stands up and leaves.  
BRENDA watches him go.)

BLUR OUT TO:



SCENE #10:

[EXT. COLLINS RESIDENCE - NIGHT - SHORT TIME LATER]

(GRISSOM walks up to NICK, CATHERINE and WARRICK.)

GRISSOM:  First rule for this crime scene:  Do not do any interviews.  Second 
rule: Don't talk to the Sheriff either.

WARRICK:  Media have it right?  Four dead?

GRISSOM:  The killer was here not two hours ago.  He left part of himself 
behind.  Catherine, I need you inside, mapping and blood samples.

CATHERINE:  You got it.

GRISSOM:  Nick, Warrick-- the perimeter.  I want to know how he got here how he 
got in, how he got out, and how he left.

NICK:  I'll take the back.  Warrick, you get the front?

WARRICK:  You got it.

(Cut to:  A blurry image of the American flag.)

(Cut to:  Various shots of the spectators standing around watching.)

(Cut to:  The media crowd out in the front lawn.)

(GRISSOM heads back into the house.)

(Cut to:  DET. O'RILEY stands next to REPORTER 1 (WOMAN).  He looks up when 
someone calls his name.)

OFFICER:  (o.s.)  Hey, O'Riley, Grissom wants to see you.

(He ducks under the crime scene tape and heads back toward the house.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #11:

[INT. COLLINS HOUSE - KITCHEN -- NIGHT]

(GRISSOM walks cautiously in the kitchen.  DET. O'RILEY walks into the kitchen.)

DET. O'RILEY:  They said you were looking for me.

GRISSOM:  Hey, stop!  Evidence!

(DET. O'RILEY stops and changes his course, staying off of the main floor and on 
the sides of the room.)

DET. O'RILEY:  We got to hug the wall?  This is the only room with no blood in 
it.  There's nothing to disturb.

GRISSOM:  You guys will never get it, will you?

(GRISSOM continues to look around and notices the open knife drawer.  He reaches 
over and pulls it open.

GRISSOM:  Knife drawer.  One missing.

DET. O'RILEY:  It's the only drawer open.  The killer knew where they were 
going.

GRISSOM:  I think the suspect's been in this house before.  And this is the 
first place they stopped tonight.  

(GRISSOM looks down at the floor.)

GRISSOM:  Good. Linoleum.  The best surface.

DET. O'RILEY:  Best surface for what?

WHITE FLASH TO:

(GRISSOM is on his hands and knees mere inches from the floor holding a special 
light.  He finds some shoe prints.)

(Short time cut to:  GRISSOM has the print lifter on the floor.)

DET. O'RILEY:  (o.s.)  You guys got some toys ...

GRISSOM:  It's not a toy, O'Riley.  It's an electrostatic dust print lifter.

DET. O'RILEY:  Okay ... 

GRISSOM:  Like a supercharged lint remover only it lifts footprints.  Possibly 
our killer's.

(GRISSOM flips the sheet over and on the other side is a clear image of the shoe 
print.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #12:

[EXT. COLLINS HOUSE - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM questions the paramedics.)

EMS #1:  We did everything by the book, sir.

GRISSOM:  Relax.  I just want to know where you walked in the house and who you 
touched in there.

EMS #1:  Well, we did use the main entry, and up the stairs.  But once we saw 
the husband, we grabbed the walls.  I felt the pulses in each room.  Once I 
found they were dead, we booked.

GRISSOM:  Show me the bottom of your shoe.

(GRISSOM takes the shoe print and checks it against the EMS's.)

(The first one is not a match.)

GRISSOM:  Now yours.  

(The second EMS's shoes match the prints found in the kitchen.  He stands up.)

GRISSOM:  You fellows were both in the kitchen.

EMS #1:  We didn't see any bodies in there so I didn't think twice about walking 
on the surface.

GRISSOM:  All right.  Yours are the only clean prints I found.  Thanks.  You can 
go back to work.

(The paramedics leave.  DET. O'RILEY walks up to GRISSOM.)

DET. O'RILEY:  News bim's waiting for you.  Thinks you have an "interesting 
look."

(GRISSOM looks over at the media hanging just outside the crime scene tape.)

REPORTER 1 (WOMAN):  Any truth to the rumor that a cult may have committed these 
crimes?

GRISSOM:  I don't know that.

REPORTER 1 (WOMAN):  But you wouldn't rule it out?

GRISSOM:  I don't rule anything out.

(That small tidbid seemed to satisfy the news media.  From behind him, someone 
calls him.)

SHERIFF BRIAN MOBLEY:  Grissom.

GRISSOM:  Sheriff?

SHERIFF BRIAN MOBLEY:  The mayor has already called.  So what have you got?

GRISSOM:  Nothing.

SHERIFF BRIAN MOBLEY:  I'm not asking you to lay out your whole case.  Just give 
me something I can run with.  I have got to feed the press and defuse the panic.

GRISSOM:  As soon as I have something, you'll have something.

SHERIFF BRIAN MOBLEY:  Here's a thought.  Why don't you try being more like 
Ecklie?

GRISSOM:  I could speak volumes about Conrad Ecklie, but I have a crime scene to 
process so ... you'll have to excuse me.

REPORTER 1 (WOMAN):  Sheriff, can you tell me what went on inside?

(SHERIFF walks over to the media and talks with them.)

SHERIFF BRIAN MOBLEY:  Let me assure everyone that the situation is well under 
control.  We don't have any suspects at this time, but our forensic crew ...

(Still sitting in the front of the police car and temporarily forgotten is 
BRENDA COLLINS.  GRISSOM walks over to SARA.)

SARA:  You want me inside?

GRISSOM:  I need you to transport the little girl to the police department.  
Brass is waiting for you.

SARA:  You're kidding me, right?  I'm a taxi service on the biggest case of the 
year?

GRISSOM:  Sara ... I need one of us with that little girl.

(GRISSOM turns and walks back into the house leaving SARA with her mouth 
gaping.)

FADE TO BLACK.

SCENE #13:

[EXT. COLLINS HOUSE - YARD -- DAY]

(WARRICK finds some tire prints in the dirt.  He checks the dirt.)

(Cut to:  A bunny yard decoration.)

(NICK stands in the entryway taking pictures of something he's found just 
outside the door.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #14:

[INT. COLLINS HOUSE - MASTER BEDROOM - DAY]

(Camera opens on small framed photographs on the bedside table.  Camera moves 
over to show the bloodstained bedsheets, the body has already been removed.)

(CATHERINE takes a sample of the blood found on the bed.)

(Cut to:  [EXT. ENTRYWAY]  NICK steps just outside the entryway and sees a bidi 
in the bushes.  He takes a photograph of it.)

(Cut to:  [EXT. YARD]  WARRICK takes photographs of the tire prints in the 
dirt.)

(Cut to:  [INT. SECOND FLOOR HALLWAY]  CATHERINE takes another blood sample from 
the hallway floor.)

(Cut to:  [EXT. ENTRYWAY] NICK picks up the bidi from the bushes and looks at 
it.  He puts it in a bindle.  He looks down and finds a used match.  He picks 
that up also.)

(Cut to:  [INT. SECOND FLOOR BOYS' BEDROOM]  CATHERINE takes a blood sample from 
the hand prints on the wall.  She turns around and watches the CORONERS' remove 
one of the boys' bodies.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #15:

[INT. COLLINS HOUSE - FIRST FLOOR - DAY -- CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM watches as the body is brought down the stairs by the CORONERS.  
GRISSOM walks up to DAVID PHILLIPS.)

GRISSOM:  I want to see all of their personal property -- clothes, jewelry, 
whatever they have on.

DAVID PHILLIPS:  If there's something under all this blood you'll be the first 
to know.

(DAVID turns to leave with the bodies.  NICK stands in the doorway and lifts up 
the sheet to one of the little boy's bodies.  He looks under it and puts it 
down.  He looks at GRISSOM and sighs.)

NICK:  (upset)  This kid should be out playing Pop Warner.

(NICK heads back outside and hits the door with his fist in frustration.  
GRISSOM doesn't say anything, but watches NICK.)

SCENE #16:

[INT. COLLINS HOUSE - MASTER BEDROOM - DAY -- CONTINUOUS]

(CATHERINE reports to GRISSOM.)

CATHERINE:  I got the blood samples on the way to the lab.

GRISSOM:  Good.  You buy this cult thing?

CATHERINE:  You mean the blood swirls next to the father's body in the boys' 
room?  

(CATHERINE shakes her head.)

CATHERINE:  I studied pictures of the Manson Murders.  This isn't butter.  It's 
imitation.  

(GRISSOM nods in agreement.)  

CATHERINE:  What's your take?

GRISSOM:  Whoever did it killed the mother first.  In her sleep, quick.

CATHERINE:  Explains why the blood is confined to the bed and the floor under 
it.

GRISSOM:  Husband woke up.  Ran to protect his kids.  

(They start walking out of the bedroom as GRISSOM narrates.)

GRISSOM:  The killer nicked him here.  And then finished him off down the hall.

CATHERINE:  Gave his life for the little girl.  There should be more blood.

GRISSOM:  Yeah.  It's a hole.  We need to fill it.  If we start from the inside 
and fan out whoever's left at the scene ...

CATHERINE:  The first suspect.

GRISSOM:  The teen daughter?

CATHERINE:  Well, she'd need help.  Maybe a boyfriend?

GRISSOM:  (thoughtful)  I wonder if they call him "buffalo."

CUT TO:



SCENE #17:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM -- DAY]

(Camera close up of BRENDA COLLINS drawing.  She's using the black crayon and 
vigorously coloring.)

SARA:  (o.s.)  Look, brass, I don't see why I got to take her.  I'm a scientist.  
Catherine's the mom.  Ask her.

BRASS:  O'Riley was primary on this till it passed over to me. Big deal.

SARA:  What about Family Services?  Can't they take her?

BRASS:  They sent their caseworker over to the hospital so meet her there with 
the kid.

SARA:  I am not good with kids.

BRASS:  Look, I'm not asking you to adopt her.  Just take her over to sunrise 
for a Psych Eval, will you?

(BRASS turns and walks away.)

(SARA looks at BRENDA and walks over to her.  She glances back at BRASS, then 
kneels and looks at what BRENDA'S coloring.)

SARA:  That's very pretty.  

(BRENDA grabs the pink crayon and starts scratching out the picture.)

SARA:  Or not.  

(BRENDA puts the crayon down.)

SARA:  Want to go for another ride?  

(Without saying anything, BRENDA pushes the paper and all the crayons off the 
table and onto the floor.  She puts her hands flat against her ears.)

SARA:  I'll take that as a "yes."

CUT TO:



SCENE #18:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM -- DAY]

(BRASS and GRISSOM interview TINA COLLINS.)

BRASS:  Tina, do you know what time you heard those noises?

TINA COLLINS:  No, but they sounded like footsteps coming from the kitchen.

BRASS:  And that's when you hid in the closet?

TINA COLLINS:  Yes.

BRASS:  Does your family normally keep the doors locked at night?

TINA COLLINS:  I don't know.  My dad checks the house at night.  It's always 
been a safe neighborhood.

GRISSOM:  Tina ... do you ... go out with anyone special?

TINA COLLINS:  I hook up with different guys.  No one special.

GRISSOM:  Are any of them ... called "Buffalo"?

(TINA doesn't look at them.  BRASS notices this immediately.)

TINA COLLINS:  "Buffalo"?  No.

(GRISSOM notices it also.)

BRASS:  How about this, Tina?  You live in a house with six people, right?  You 
must be used to hearing footsteps in the kitchen late at night.  Why so scared 
last night?

TINA COLLINS:  I know my brothers' footsteps.  And my Dad's.  These were 
different.

SCENE #19:

[EXT. COLLINS HOUSE -- DAY]

(NICK and WARRICK kneel down looking at the tire print in the dirt.)

NICK:  How do you know it's fresh?

WARRICK:  I checked the sprinkler system.  It goes off every night at zero-two 
hundred (0200).

NICK:  (nods)  And paramedics pronounced at oh-two-forty (0240).

(WARRICK starts mixing the plaster cast.)

WARRICK:  So somebody came out of the house and got on what looks to be a step 
down from a motorcycle and drove it across the lawn.

NICK:  And I bet he dropped the bidi I found in the back on the way out.

GRISSOM:  Bidi?

NICK:  Yeah. Those hand-rolled cigarettes?  Probably a teenager.  They're always 
taking shortcuts.

WARRICK:  How's that hand?

NICK:  Hmm?

WARRICK:  I saw you beating up the door a little while ago.  You all right?

NICK:  Yeah.  It's cool.  I'll see you back at the lab.

(NICK stands up and leaves.  WARRICK takes the mixture and starts pouring it 
into the tire print.)

SCENE #20:

[INT. HOSPITAL - HALLWAY -- DAY]

(BRENDA COLLINS walks out into the hallway holding onto DR. LEEVER'S hand, a 
pink stuffed toy in her other arm.)

SARA:  Hey, Brenda.

(DR. LEEVER and BRENDA meet up with SARA and the FAMILY SERVICES REP, CONNIE 
BELLVUE.  They both stand up.)

DR. LEEVER:  Which one of you is with Family Services?

CONNIE BELLVUE:  I am.  Connie Bellvue.

DR. LEEVER:  (to CONNIE BELLVUE)  Brenda's fine but I'd like her to have a 
consult.  I've paged the psychiatric resident.  Should be here within the hour.

(DR. LEEVER completely ignores SARA.  He turns and leaves.  CONNIE BELLVUE steps 
up next to BRENDA and puts her hand on the little girl in a possessive manner.)

CONNIE BELLVUE:  (dismissing to SARA)  Thanks. I'll take it from here.

SARA:  What ... what's the head exam for?

(BRENDA starts playing with her hair.  CONNIE BELLVUE doesn't answer SARA'S 
question.)

CONNIE BELLVUE:  I said ... we'll take it from here.

SARA:  (insistent)  Look, if there's any forensic evidence found during this 
exam, I need to be there.

CONNIE BELLVUE:  (quietly dismissing)  It's already going to be tense.  

(BRENDA quietly steps away from CONNIE BELLVUE and around to SARA'S other side, 
the side with her gun.  She grabs the back of SARA'S jacket, which is tied 
around her waist, and starts tugging it to get SARA'S attention.)

CONNIE BELLVUE:  (continuous)  Go back to your crime lab.  I'll keep you posted. 

(SARA looks down at BRENDA, who is now looking up directly at SARA.  Her choice 
unmistakable.  SARA puts her arm around the little girl and nods.)

SARA:  (soothing)  It's okay, Brenda.  

(Though still talking to BRENDA, SARA looks at CONNIE BELLVUE.)

SARA:  (firmly)  I'm not leaving you.

Through its reflection, we see CATHERINE back inside the master bedroom with a 
clipboard in her hand.)

(Camera moves back to focus on a picture of BRENDA sitting at a soda pop counter 
and smiling for the camera.)

(Cut to:  [HALLWAY -- DAY]  CATHERINE starts mapping the blood spatter in the 
hallway.  She puts down evidence marker #1 and takes a photograph of it.)

(Cut to:  [DAY]  She puts down evidence markers #3 and #2.  She takes a 
photograph of evidence marker #2.  She takes photos of evidence marker #3.  She 
takes photos of evidence marker #4.  She takes the photo and looks out at the 
hallway.)

(Cut to:  [LATE DAY]  CATHERINE is still in the hallway, crouching between 
evidence markers #2 and #3.  Down the hallway near the bullseye are evidence 
markers #4 and #5.  CATHERINE picks up her clipboard and works on the photos.  
She writes on the photo with evidence marker #5, "Spatter found opp ... ".  
CATHERINE looks out down the hallway.)

(Cut to:  [EVENING]  CATHERINE finishes mapping out the blood on a plastic 
architectural layout of the second floor.)

(Dissolve to:  [NIGHT]  CATHEIRNE sits on the floor in the door way to one of 
the bedrooms, looking out at the blood spatter in the hallway; the evidence 
markers are removed.  She continues to work.  The clock chimes.  She looks 
around at the sound and checks her watch.  She finally realizes how late it is.)

[INT. CSI - LAB -- NIGHT]  

(GRISSOM is in the lab examining TINA'S clothes.  He turns on the ALS and cuts 
the top lights off.)

(Off to the side, there's a thud ... and a curse.)

WARRICK:  Damn!

GRISSOM:  (without looking up)  That you, Warrick?

(WARRICK walks up to GRISSOM.)

WARRICK:  You need to tell somebody when you're cutting the lights.

GRISSOM:  What, are you working for OSHA now?

WARRICK:  Grissom, you remember those tire treads ... I found on the front lawn?

GRISSOM:  mm-hmm.

WARRICK:  Well, I ran them through the FBI register and they belong to a '93 
Honda scooter.

GRISSOM:  That's good.

WARRICK:  I DMV'd it.  A kid four blocks away from the scene owns the same make.

GRISSOM:  That's very good.

WARRICK:  I might have just blown open the case and all you give me is a "that's 
very good"?

(GRISSOM looks up at WARRICK, changing the subject completely.)

GRISSOM:  If your whole family was murdered, wouldn't you run to them to check 
to see if they were still alive?

WARRICK:  Yeah.

(GRISSOM goes back to examining the clothes.  He doesn't find it and gives up.)

GRISSOM:  This is a Lady Macbeth.

WARRICK:  Lady Macbeth?

(GRISSOM turns the lights back on.)

GRISSOM:  "Out, out, damn spot."  There's not a trace of blood on the teen 
daughter's clothing.  Not a spot.

LINDSEY WILLOWS:  Mommy, hi!

(LINDSEY stands up and gives CATHERINE a hug.)

CATHERINE:  Oh, am I glad to see you.

(EDDIE gets up and turns off the stereo.)

LINDSEY:  Daddy came to ballet tonight.

CATHERINE:  I know.  I was just there.  Your teacher told me daddy came to pick 
you up.  Oh, you feel so good.  

(CATHERINE puts LINDSEY down and turns to look at EDDIE.)

CATHERINE:  Ed ... I'm working this quadruple.  Time got away from me.  I 
apologize.

EDDIE WILLOWS:  I figured that's probably what it was.  

CATHERINE:  Right.

EDDIE WILLOWS:  When they couldn't reach you, they called me.

CATHERINE:  Yeah.  Thank you.  I really, really ...

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Cath, Cath, Cath ... she's my kid too, okay?  All right?

CATHERINE:  Yeah.  

(EDDIE moves around CATHERINE and starts massaging her shoulders.)

CATHERINE:  (sighs)  Oh, god.

CATHERINE:  Yeah.

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Hey.

CATHERINE:  What?

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Are you hungry?  I made pancakes.

CATHERINE:  You made pancakes?

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Mm-hmm.

CATHERINE:  (chuckles)  For dinner?

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Yeah.

GRISSOM:  Please do.

(GRISSOM hangs up.)

CONRAD ECKLIE:  I just got off the phone with the Sheriff.  He wants results, 
Gil.

GRISSOM:  He should go to a sports book.  I hear the Stardust is good.

CONRAD ECKLIE:  No. What he should do is go to his first team-- my team.

GRISSOM:  Teams, Conrad?  I didn't know this was a competition.

CONRAD ECKLIE:  Well, it is, and my crew usually wins.

GRISSOM:  Really?  Didn't graveyard beat day shift in softball last summer?

CONRAD ECKLIE:  You know, you can joke all you want.  It's your ass on the line.

(GRISSOM heads down the hallway and turns around to glance back at ECKLIE.)

WARRICK:  The tire treads from the scooter place you at the scene of the 
murders.

OLIVER:  Look, I was in Hoover visiting my father.  I don't know anything about 
Tina's parents getting killed.

WARRICK:  Tina's parents?  So you know Tina Collins?

OLIVER:  Yeah, I know her.  A lot of guys know her.  She's a freak.

WARRICK:  You mean sexually?

OLIVER:  Yeah.  

WARRICK:  Where's your scooter now?

OLIVER:  I told him I don't know.

BRASS:  So it just disappeared?

OLIVER:  Look, it costs money, right?  And my dad's been slacking on support so 
I bought it with three other guys.  We share it.

BRASS:  Here's a pen.  Start writing.

[INT. CSI - BREAK ROOM -- NIGHT]  

(The door opens and SARA walks in to join the meeting.)

SARA:  Hey, heard you have a suspect.

WARRICK:  We got about four just on the tire prints alone.  Homicide's grabbing 
them up.

GRISSOM:  Let's talk about what else we have.  Tina Collins' pajama top from the 
murder scene without a drop of blood on it.

(SARA grabs a plate of food and takes a seat.)

SARA:  Hello.  How does she explain that?

CATHERINE:  We're about to go ask her.  Nick, what did you find out about that 
stuff that you collected at the back of the house?

NICK:  The bidi?  DNA's still processing but Tina said nobody in the family 
smoked.

SARA:  So a non-family member was out there.

GRISSOM:  Bidi?  Bidi?  I thought you found a cigarette and a match behind the 
house.

NICK:  Well, it's just like a cigarette.

SARA:  Kids smoke them.  They think there's less carbon monoxide.

GRISSOM:  What did you find out about the psych exam on the little girl?

SARA:  The shrink says the kid is in a catatonic state from a trauma.  I 
could've told you that.  But she did respond to the name "Buffalo."

GRISSOM:  Respond how?

SARA:  She freaked out.

(CATHERINE stares at SARA and takes a deep breath.)

GRISSOM:  And ... what are you doing about it now?

(SARA nods as she looks at GRISSOM.)

SARA:  Going back to the girl.  

(beat)  

SARA:  I left her in the car.  

(GRISSOM looks at her.  CATHERINE can't believe what she's hearing.)

SARA:  (deadpans)  The windows are cracked.  

(GRISSOM stares at SARA, absolutely no expression on his face.  SARA breaks out 
into a smile and stands up.)

SARA:  Give me a little credit.  She's at the hospital.

(WARRICK snickers at the fast one SARA just pulled on GRISSOM and CATHERINE.  
NICK also smiles appreciatively.)

(CATHERINE and GRISSOM re-question TINA COLLINS.)

TINA COLLINS:  I don't know why I didn't get blood on my pajamas.  I just 
didn't.

CATHERINE:  But your statement says that you bent down and hugged your mother 
who was bleeding profusely.  Then you ran out, tripping over your father's body 
in the upstairs hallway.

GRISSOM:  But there was no blood on you.

TINA COLLINS:  I saw my family dead.  I was scared.  I ran to the neighbors.  
That is the truth.

GRISSOM:  The evidence is telling a different story.

BRASS:  You want a lawyer?  Okay, we'll get you a lawyer.  Investigator Stokes

(BRASS glances at NICK, then leaves the room.  JESSE OVERTON nervously sits 
there for a moment, then reaches into his shirt pocket for a bidi.)

NICK:  There's no smoking in here.

JESSE OVERTON:  Sharon Stone -- "Basic Instinct", dude.

NICK:  And I'm not your dude.  This ain't a movie and Sharon Stone's fine.  
Let's go.  

(JESSE OVERTON tosses the pack at NICK.  NICK takes it and looks at the box.)

NICK:  Matches?

to having sex with your girl, and he's asking for a lawyer.  

(TINA COLLINS starts to react to what she's hearing.  GRISSOM and CATHERINE both 
notice her reactions.)

BRASS:  I want to get a warrant and search his house.  I'll keep you posted.

(BRASS leaves the room.)

(TINA looks at GRISSOM.)

TINA COLLINS:  I want to see my sister.

GRISSOM:  It's not going to happen, Tina.

CATHERINE:  It's a little too late to start coaching her now.

TINA COLLINS:  You don't understand.  I need to speak with her.

GRISSOM:  She won't speak.

CATHERINE:  The doctor says it's from trauma.  What happened, Tina?  Did you 
catch your boyfriend killing your family?

new?  

(GRISSOM picks up the tire.  BRASS looks inside the trash can and finds 
something else.)

BRASS:  Whoa.  Is this a pair of jeans under all that blood?

GRISSOM:  (sighs)  "Yet who would have thought the old man to have so much blood 
in him?"

LIE DETECTOR OPERATOR:  Did you kill her family?

CONRAD ECKLIE:  I don't care that you got some pimply-faced kid to confess.  You

arm.  The camera clicks.  SARA looks at BRENDA and smiles.)

SARA:  See?  It's okay.

looks at the photo of the blood drops found on floor, Case #00-398, Photo #36.)

TED GOGGLE:  Ted Goggle. I'm with Family Services.  Were you working the 
Collins' case?

CATHERINE:  (sighs)  You know, your department can't seem to get things 
straight.  If you're looking for the little girl, she's already got a 
caseworker.

TED GOGGLE:  Actually, I'm inquiring about your little girl.

CATHERINE:  My Lindsey? Why?  What are you talking about?

TED GOGGLE:  Your husband, Eddie, filed a report.  Says you neglected to pick 
her up after dance class last night.  That you routinely neglect her for your 
job.

CATHERINE:  (sighs)  Is this Eddie's idea of a joke?  What, are you in one of 
his bands?

TED GOGGLE:  I already made a field visit to your house.  Here's the form.  

(He hands her the form.  She looks at it.)

TED GOGGLE:  Lindsey seems okay but there is going to be an investigation as to 
whether there was parental neglect.  You're on notice.

(He leaves the garage.)

SCENE #40:

[INT. HOSPITAL - OUTSIDE X-RAY ROOM -- DAY]  

(Standing outside the X-Ray room, GRISSOM'S phone rings.  He answers it.)

GRISSOM:  Grissom.

INTERCUT WITH:

CATHERINE:  It's me.  Something's off on the map.

GRISSOM:  (from phone)  Off? How?

CATHERINE:  Uh ... I'm looking at dad's blood in the hall.  I found an 
interesting drop.  The droplet tells me that he wasn't running to the little 
girl's room.  

GRISSOM:  He was coming out of it?

CATHERINE:  Yeah.  

(Quick flashback to:  MR. COLLINS coming out of BRENDA'S bedroom when he's being 
attacked.)

CATHERINE:  (v.o.)  I filled one of your holes, Grissom.  

(JESSE gets up from over MR. COLLINS.)

CATHERINE:  (v.o.)  The father was killed first -- then the mother.  

(JESSE carries the dripping knife down the hallway.)

CATHERINE:  (v.o.)  And the blood that we found in the hallway was from the 
knife.

(End of flashback.  Resume to GRISSOM.)

(CATHERINE shuts her phone off and throws it on the table in front of her.  She 
picks up the Family Services form and looks at it.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #41:

[INT. CSI - BLACK ROOM -- DAY]  

(SARA develops the photos.  She flips it over and hangs it up.  She and GRISSOM 
both look at the pictures.)

GRISSOM:  Somebody was all over this kid.

CUT TO:



SCENE #42:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM -- DAY]  

(GRISSOM and BRASS re-interviews TINA COLLINS.)

(Camera opens on the photos on the table in front of TINA.)

GRISSOM:  We have forensic evidence that your father sexually abused your 
sister.  

(TINA reaches out a hand and touches the photos in front of her.)

GRISSOM:  We also know ... that he was in her room the night of the murders.

TINA COLLINS:  How can you tell?

GRISSOM:  Blood drops.  They fall a certain way depending on the motion of the 
victim.  

(TINA takes a deep breath, her eyes glued to the photos on the table.)

GRISSOM:  Something horrible happened in that house, didn't it, Tina?  Long 
before the night of the murders.

TINA COLLINS:  That was the last night he was going to touch her.

GRISSOM:  But why your mother?  And why your brothers?

TINA COLLINS:  (crying)  Because they should have protected me.

GRISSOM:  You?

TINA COLLINS:  My father ... 

(Quick flashback to:  A YOUNG TINA COLLINS sitting on her bed.  She looks up at 
her mother standing in the doorway to "TINA'S" room.  She leaves and shuts the 
door.)

(In the mirror, we see her father in the room alone with TINA.)

(White flash to:  The buffalo medallion on a chain around his neck.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

TINA COLLINS:  I was young.  I learned to deal.  But when he went for my 
daughter ...

GRISSOM:  (realizing)  Brenda is ... ?  And who is ... ?

TINA COLLINS:  The father?  I was thirteen ... and nobody noticed that my 
clothes were getting bigger.  Nice, huh?  Brenda may hate me for what I did ... 
but I protected her. I did that much.

CUT TO:



SCENE #43:

(SARA and BRENDA sit in the chairs in the hospital hallway.  BRENDA clutches her 
pink stuffed bear to her.)

(After a moment, SARA reaches over, picks up BRENDA'S hand and holds it.  BRENDA 
looks up at SARA.  She gives her a small smile, then turns and looks back 
blankly out in front of her.)

(SARA continues to watch BRENDA.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #44:

[INT. CSI - LOCKER ROOM -- NIGHT]  

(CATHERINE closes her locker and leaves.))

CATHERINE:  Night, guys.

NICK:  (o.s.)  See you, Cath. 

GRISSOM:  Good work.

(GRISSOM grabs his book and heads out.  He passes NICK, who is sitting on the 
locker bench with an ice pack on his knuckles.)

GRISSOM:  It'll be back to normal in 24 hours.

NICK:  Normal would be nice.

CUT TO:



SCENE #45:

[INT. CSI - HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM walks through the hallway and glances inside the break room.  He sees 
something, opens the door and walks in.)

[BREAK ROOM]

(GRISSOM picks up a red apple from the basket on the desk.  He takes a bite and 
glances down at the table.  He stops.)

(He leans forward, picks up the pencil on top of the folded newspaper and fills 
out an answer in the crossword puzzle.  He puts the pencil down to leave the 
room.)

(He takes a bite of the apple and turns back around to glance at the newspaper.  
He gives up, takes out his glasses and puts them on.  He sits down to finish the 
crossword puzzle.)

(In the hallway, WARRICK walks by and glances up.  He smile when he sees GRISSOM 
working on the crossword puzzle.)

(Camera holds on GRISSOM working on the crossword puzzle.)

FADE TO BLACK.

WHITE FLASH OPEN:

[EXT. LAS VEGAS CITY (STOCK) - AFTERNOON]

[EXT VEGAS SUBURB (STOCK) - AFTERNOON]

[EXT. RESIDENCE -- AFTERNOON]

CUT TO:



SCENE #01:

(Outside the home, PETE'S Pluming and Piping van is parked in the driveway.  
Camera moves downward below the ground level and under the house.)

[INT. CRAWLSPACE UNDER THE HOUSE]

(Under the crawlspace of the house, the plumber carries his flashlight and 
crawls, examining the pipes for the leak.)

WOMAN'S VOICE:  (o.s.)  What's taking so long?  I just wanted you to fix the 
leak!

PLUMBER:  (looks up)  Look, lady, to fix the leak I need to find the leak.  
(distracted)

(He continues to examine the pipes and crawls deeper under the house.)

(He crawls against the wall where his shirt catches on something, ripping the 
material.  He stops.)

PLUMBER:  Hold on.

(He grunts as he shifts around to look at the wall.  He turns up his flashlight)

WOMAN'S VOICE:  (o.s.)  Did you find the leak?

(He brings his flashlight down and finds the bony tips of a skeleton embedded 
inside the foundation wall sticking out.  He looks at it closely.)

PLUMBER:  I found something.

CUT TO:



SCENE #02:

[EXT. RALSTON HOUSE -- NIGHT]

(NICK closes the car back door and carrying his kit, he heads for the house.  He 
ducks under the crime scene tape toward the side of the house.)

[EXT. RALSTON HOUSE - SIDE YARD - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]

(NICK puts his kit down.)

NICK:  Okay, I'm ready up here.  

CUT TO:



SCENE #03:

[INT. CRAWLSPACE UNDER RALSTON HOUSE - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS

(Under the house, GRISSOM makes his way to the site.)

GRISSOM:  Hang on a minute.  

(GRISSOM crawls up to the fingertips sticking out of the concrete.)

GRISSOM:  Okay, I'm there.

NICK (over radio):  Can you confirm it's human?

GRISSOM:  Metacarpal, phalanges ... no question about it.  

SHORT TIME CUT TO:



SCENE #04:

[EXT. RALSTON HOUSE - SIDE YARD - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM walks over to and around NICK.)

GRISSOM:  Hold on, Nick.

NICK:  (sighs)  There's got to be an easier way.

GRISSOM:  When a body decomposes in concrete it leaves an air pocket, vacuum-
sealed.  We do this right, it'll open like a jar of pickles.

(GRISSOM starts to work on the bricks.  When he breaks through into the air 
pocket, we hear the seal being broken.)

(They continue to break through the cement and finally get the hole wide enough 
to see the skeleton inside.)

NICK:  Ten bucks says the owner sells the house.

GRISSOM:  By law, you got to disclose everything -- three bedrooms, two baths, 
and a skeleton.

FADE IN.

SCENE #05:

[INT. CSI - GRISSOM'S OFFICE - NIGHT]

(GRISSOM walks into the room carrying the assignment sheets.)

GRISSOM:  Okay, I'm late again.  Nick's going to work with me on that 
unidentified body at Summercliff.

SARA:  I hear it's just bones?  What a rush.

GRISSOM:  O.I.S. at the jockey club.

(GRISSOM holds out the assignment sheet.  SARA stands up to get it from him.)

SARA:  Officer-involved shooting.

WARRICK:  I'll take a piece of that.

GRISSOM:  Good, I want you to double up.  Listen, these deals are never easy so 
keep me informed, please.

WARRICK:  Will do.  

SARA:  I drive.

WARRICK:  Picture that.

(SARA and WARRICK leave the room.  GRISSOM looks back down at the other 
assignment sheet in his hand.)

CATHERINE:  So, what do you have for me?  I could use a rush.

(GRISSOM sits at the edge of the table.)

GRISSOM:  Well, this qualifies: 4-26.  But I can't give you the case.

CATHERINE:  Because?

GRISSOM:  Conflict of interest.  The alleged rape victim is an exotic dancer.

CATHERINE:  (offended)  Because I used to be one, I'll be biased?

GRISSOM:  No.  Suspect's your ex-husband.  (beat)  He's asking for you, but you 
can't take it.

(CATHERINE stands up and looks at GRISSOM.)

CATHERINE:  Just let me do the prelim.

GRISSOM:  All right.  (He gives her the assignment sheet.)  Do what you can.  
But after the preliminary, you pass it off, okay?

(CATHERINE doesn't say anything.  She turns and leaves the room.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #06:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - OBSERVATION ROOM - NIGHT]

(CATHERINE looks through the window at EDDIE WILLOWS, her ex-husband.  He's 
sitting in front of the table, a tape recorder and microphone set up in front of 
him.  She watches him for a long moment, then leaves the room.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #07:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROM - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]

(The door opens.  CATHERINE walks inside.)

EDDIE WILLOWS:  (relieved)  Thank god you're here.

(EDDIE gets to his feet.  CATHERINE closes the door behind her.)

CATHERINE:  Eddie.

EDDIE WILLOWS:  I didn't rape that girl.

(CATHERINE puts the open file folder on the table.  She sits down.)

CATHERINE:  According to the police report she's telling a different story.  I 
wonder what the rape kit's going to say.

EDDIE WILLOWS:  We had sex, okay?  But she was there with me one hundred 
percent.  

(CATHERINE looks down at the file.)

CATHERINE:  In the parking lot behind the club.

(She looks back at EDDIE.)

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Well, some women like the outdoors.

CATHERINE:  Melanie know about this?

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Mel and I split up a while ago.

CATHERINE:  You might want to call her anyway.  She can loan you the money for 
an attorney.

(CATHERINE picks up her bag, turns and heads for the door.)

EDDIE WILLOWS:  You're not going to help me?  (yells)  Cath, I am in a jam here!

CATHERINE:  A detective from sex crimes has been assigned.  I'm going to place 
another CSI.

EDDIE WILLOWS:  What about Lindsey?

(CATHERINE stops.)

CATHERINE:  (puzzled)  What about her?

EDDIE WILLOWS:  You want her spending sunday afternoons with me at Nevada State 
Prison ... or the mall?

CUT TO:



SCENE #08:

[INT. CSI - FORENSIC AUTOPSY]

(NICK and GRISSOM stand over the skeletal remains on the table between them.)

GRISSOM:  Based on the auricular surface I'd say she died when she was about 
twenty.

NICK:  She?

GRISSOM:  It's in the hips.  Pelvic bone is definitely female.  You know, for a 
ladies' man you don't know much about bone structure.

NICK:  I know all I need to know.  I figure she was killed before her cement 
bath.

GRISSOM:  Yeah, how?

NICK:  She was stabbed at least a dozen times -- a screwdriver, maybe ... 
like... a spike.

GRISSOM:  No.  The gouges on her ribs are unusual.  The instrument had to be ... 
slightly curved with some kind of serrated edge.  Like crocodile teeth.  
Whatever killed this girl was not a traditional weapon.

NICK:  Well, stabbings are personal.  She knew her attacker.

GRISSOM:  That's the rule.  

(GRISSOM leans in close to the head of the bones.  He places a gentle hand on 
her skull.)

GRISSOM:  Who are you?

CUT TO:



SCENE #09:

[EXT. PARKING LOT - STRIP CASINO HOTEL - NIGHT]

(WARRICK and SARA meet up with BRASS and the OFFICER, JOE TYNER.)

BRASS:  Sara Sidle, Warrick Brown?  Officer Joe Tyner.

SARA:  Hi.

(They shake hands.)

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  Hi.

WARRICK:  Officer Tyner.

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  How you doing?

WARRICK:  Want to tell us what happened here tonight?

(BRASS answers the question.)

BRASS:  He responded to shots fired.  The suspect fled the scene.

(WARRICK looks at OFFICER JOE TYNER.)

WARRICK:  Why don't you tell us what happened here.

(OFFICER JOE TYNER sighs.)

(Quick flashback to:  A speeding jeep, Nevada License #QLF 084, turns onto the 
main strip, tires screeching.  The officer car right behind him.)

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  (to dispatch)  Unit five.  In pursuit of the fleeing 413 
heading southbound on the strip.

(White flash to:  The jeep turns off of the road and into a parking lot.  The 
officer car follows.  The jeep stops.  The officer car stops.  OFFICER JOE TYNER 
gets out of his car and draws his weapon.

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  Get back in the car!  

(The SUSPECT gets back into his jeep and closes the door.  OFFICER JOE TYNER 
takes a step toward the jeep.)

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  Drop your keys to the ground!  

(The SUSPECT drops the keys outside the jeep.)

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  Put your hands on the wheel!

(The SUSPECT puts both of his hands on the steering wheel.)

SUSPECT:  I didn't do it ... whatever you think I did!  I'm looking at three 
strikes.  I'm not going back.  I'll show you my registration.

(The SUSPECT reaches for the glove compartment and opens it.)

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  No, put your hands on the wheel!

(The SUSPECT grabs a gun in the glove compartment, points it at his own head and 
fires.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  Then he turned the weapon on himself -- one shot -- right 
through the forehead.

SARA:  Where's his gun?

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  I left it in the jeep.

SARA:  I'm going to go bag it.

(SARA heads for the jeep.)

WARRICK:  Officer, we're going to need your weapon, as well.

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  I never fired.

BRASS:  Drawn but not fired.

WARRICK:  (shakes his head)  It's just standard procedure.

(OFFICER JOE TYNER sighs.)

BRASS:  It's okay.  It's okay.

(OFFICER JOE TYNER takes out his weapon and hands it to WARRICK handle first.)

(SARA approaches the jeep and looks inside.)

WARRICK:  (o.s.)  Were there any witnesses?

(She looks down at the body inside the front seat of the jeep.  She takes the 
gun out of the SUSPECT'S hand.)

WARRICK:  (o.s.)  We're going to need to seal off this lot.

(BRASS looks at WARRICK.)

BRASS:  Tyner told you what happened here.  Whose side are you on?

WARRICK:  The officer told me a fleeing suspect committed suicide.  I'm just 
verifying his account.  You know how this works, Brass.  Can we clear the jeep 
so I can do my job?

BRASS:  Well, at least test the dead guy's hands for gun residue.

(SARA steps up and joins them.)

SARA:  At that proximity G.S.R.'S invalid.  They'd both be covered, no matter 
who fired.

WARRICK:  Can we get back to work?

BRASS:  Yeah.

(WARRICK turns and leaves.  SARA stares at BRASS.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #10:

[INT. CSI - GARAGE - NIGHT]

(The lights flicker on.  GRISSOM stands in the middle of the garage over the 
large slab of rock that the skeletal remains were entombed in.)

(NICK walks in.)

NICK:  You brought the foundation of the house to our lab.

GRISSOM:  It's a six-by-three-foot section.  When the concrete dried it 
preserved a partial impression of our Jane Doe.  Did you find out anything about 
the house?

NICK:  I pulled the permits.  Summercliff was built five years ago on nothing 
but desert.

GRISSOM:  That would explain why the body was so desiccated.

NICK:  House was sold subsequent to completion, so the homeowner isn't a 
suspect.  Homicide is running a missing persons check.

(NICK reaches out to touch something.  GRISSOM clears his throat to stop him.  
NICK stops mid-reach and looks at GRISSOM.  NICK smiles and withdraws.)

GRISSOM:  Well, if it wasn't for a leaky pipe she might have been down there 
forever.

NICK:  I think our killer was counting on that.

(GRISSOM glances up at NICK, then turns back his attention to the slab in front 
of him.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #11:

[INT. CSI - LAB - NIGHT]

(WARRICK is sitting at the lab table.  SARA walks into the room behind him.)

SARA:  Hey.

WARRICK:  Why would a guy speed it all the way down the strip just to pull over 
and cap himself?

SARA:  What are you getting at, Warrick?

(WARRICK puts the pen down and picks up the weapon in front of him.  The one he 
was studying.)

WARRICK:  Officer's weapon:  Smith and Wesson 5906.

SARA:  Standard issue. 

(WARRICK puts the gun down and lifts up the cartridge in his other hand.)

WARRICK:  One bullet missing.  Nothing standard about that.

(SARA takes it from WARRICK and looks at it.  Camera close up of the bullets 
inside the cartridge.)

SARA:  Both gun's are nine millimeter automatics.  Brass isn't going to like 
this.

WARRICK:  I don't give a damn what Brass likes.

SARA:  Like I do?  If Tyner's dirty, he goes down.  I just know what happens 
when you piss off the P.D.

WARRICK:  Yeah, it's war.

CUT TO:



SCENE #12:

[INT. CSI - GRISSOM'S OFFICE - NIGHT]

(Camera close up of GRISSOM holding a tarantula in the palm of his hand.  A 
woman walks up to the door and knocks on the frame lightly.)

TERI MILLER:  Gil Grissom?  

(GRISSOM looks up.)

TERI MILLER:  Or should I call you spider-man?

GRISSOM:  It's harmless.

TERI MILLER:  Of course it is.  

(TERI walks into the office, her eyes on the spider in GRISSOM'S hand.)

TERI MILLER:  Orange-kneed tarantula.  Nice specimen.

GRISSOM:  The tarantula's touch is very gentle.

TERI MILLER:  It leaves no prints.  They move without a trace.  May I?  

(TER holds out her hand and to GRISSOM'S astonishment, takes the tarantula in 
the palm of her hand.)

TERI MILLER:  Ah ... 

(TERI looks at the spider.  GRISSOM stands up.)

TERI MILLER:  Maybe I should introduce myself.

(She holds out her free hand to him.  They shake hands.)

GRISSOM:  Teri Miller does not need an introduction.  (beat)  I need you to make 
me a face.

FADE TO BLACK.

(COMMERCIAL SET)



FADE IN.

SCENE #13:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM - DAY]

(SARA and WARRICK interview OFFICER JOE TYNER.)

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  (annoyed)  I didn't kill him.  That's what I told I.A.  It's 
what I told my superior.  It's what I'm telling you.

SARA:  Officer Tyner, your gun -- there's a bullet missing from the magazine.

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  I don't top off.  I know it's against regulation, but the 
14th bullet puts pressure on the spring, and the gun can jam.

WARRICK:  Can anyone confirm your story?

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  (surges to his feet)  It's not a story!  

SARA:  Whoa.

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  And no ... I don't tell people how I carry. 

WARRICK:  Do you?  

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  Check the other magazines.

(BRASS walks into the room.)

BRASS:  What the hell's going on here?

WARRICK:  We're just having a talk with Officer Tyner here.

BRASS:  Next time, don't start without me.  I'm the union rep on this one.

SARA:  Then you should know.  Tyner's magazine -- one bullet shy.

BRASS:  Is the expended round still missing?

SARA:  Yeah.  It's not in the body, bullet's a round point wound was a through-
and-through.

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  I did not fire a single round.

SARA:  And, with a record like yours we're supposed to just take you at your 
word?

WARRICK:  Five civilian complaints -- three for excessive force.  Two I.A. 
investigations.

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  I was cleared.

WARRICK:  I'm sure you were.

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  What is that supposed to mean?  I don't have to take this 
crap!

BRASS:  Tyner ... sit down, sit down.  What you do need is for these guys to go 
out and find the missing bullet.  

(BRASS turns and looks at WARRICK and SARA.)

BRASS:  So what are you waiting for?

WARRICK:  I guess it's a good thing I sealed off that crime scene.

(WARRICK turns to leave the room.)

SCENE #14:

[INT CSI - GARAGE - NIGHT]

(TERI works on the mold on the slab of foundation in the middle of the garage.  
GRISSOM watches her work.)

TERI MILLER:  It's like a human jell-o mold.  The impression's only a partial.  
It's not going to be easy.

GRISSOM:  They told me you were the top forensic artist in the country.  

TERI MILLER:  And Canada.  I didn't say I couldn't do it.  

(TERI turns and brings out a pail.)

TERI MILLER:  Give me your hand.  You'll enjoy this.  It's as much science as 
art.

(Using GRISSOM'S hand, she guides him as he takes a scoop of the molding 
substance and puts it in the indentation in the foundation slab.)

(He continues to work.  TERI takes the pail and lifts it to pour the rest of 
molding substance into the foundation.)

(Dissolve to:  The molding substance solidifies and TERI removes it.  She takes 
it over to the lamp and works on it.  GRISSOM looks over her shoulder.)

GRISSOM:  It doesn't really look like anything.

TERI MILLER:  No light, no shadows -- no shadows, no perspective.  

(She tilts the small sample and the impressions of a face can be seen.)

TERI MILLER:  Now look.

(Dissolve to:  TERI is sitting at the table with the head and half mold in front 
of her.  GRISSOM takes the seat next to her.)

GRISSOM:  So teach me.

TERI MILLER:  Okay.  First, I'm finishing off the plaster mold.  We can't give 
her life with only half a face.  Although most faces appear that way and the 
thin layer of slip makes the plaster and clay appear seamless.  

(TERI takes GRISSOM'S hands and guides him as he helps apply the plaster mold.)

(Dissolve to:  TERI finishes "painting" the face of the head in front of them.)

TERI MILLER:  Her cheekbones and nasal spine indicate nordic descent.  I've seen 
a few Norwegian brunettes but your girl's probably a blonde.

(TERI takes a blonde-colored wig and puts it on the head in front of them.)

(Dissolve to:  TERI looks at a couple of brown eyes.)

GRISSOM:  Brown eyes?  I thought you decided she was nordic.

(TERI puts the eyes in the "head".)

TERI MILLER:  But, in this country, brown is a dominant eye color.  And, more 
importantly, brown photographs better.  You want to get her face out there, 
don't you?

GRISSOM:  Yeah.  I'm sure someone needs closure and somebody else needs to go to 
jail.

(TERI finishes.)

TERI MILLER:  There she is.

(GRISSOM takes the camera and takes a picture of the head.)

PAULA FRANCIS:  (from tv)  As we first reported yesterday, the remains of an 
unidentified caucasian female were unearthed in Summercliff.  The five foot four 
inch woman was approximately 20 years old.

(In the break room, GRISSOM watches the news report.  NICK gets his cup and 
joins GRISSOM.  He hands GRISSOM his cup.)

NICK:  Here you go.

PAULA FRANCIS:  (from tv)  Authorities are asking for the public's help in 
identifying the victim.  

(On the monitor, they show a close up of the completed head.  A phone number 
appears on screen under it:  (702) 555-0199.)

PAULA FRANCIS:  (from tv)  If you have any information please call the Las Vegas 
P.D. Hotline.

(CATHERINE walks into the room.)

CATHERINE:  Hotlines ... hit or miss.

GRISSOM:  I don't know.  In my experience people usually remember a beautiful 
woman.  

(CATHERINE moves to stand in front of him.  She looks at him expectantly.  
GRISSOM glances at NICK.)

GRISSOM:  Uh, Nick, weren't you going to go and do the, uh... 

(NICK turns to look at CATHERINE.)

GRISSOM:  At the ... ?

(NICK gets the hint.)

NICK:  Yeah.  Yeah, okay, I'll do that.

(NICK leaves the break room.  GRISSOM turns to look at CATHERINE.)

CATHERINE:  So I saw Eddie.  He actually... seemed scared.

GRISSOM:  Did that make you happy?

CATHERINE:  Um ... no.  I'm not really sure what I ... feel.

GRISSOM:  You're not still in love with Eddie?  (She sighs.)  Catherine, you 
have to hand off the case.  Warrick can just double up.

(CATHERINE doesn't say anything.)

(DAVID PHILLIPS walks into the room.)

DAVID PHILLIPS:  Uh ... Grissom, Dr. Robbins wants to see you. Something about 
your skeleton.

(DAVID PHILLIPS leaves the room.  GRISSOM turns to look back at CATHERINE.  He 
stands up to head for the door, then turns around.)

GRISSOM:  Okay.  You have to pass off the case.  If you compromise the 
investigation there's no going back.  You could hurt Eddie just as much as you 
could help him.

at the door.)

GRISSOM:  Hey. I've already seen the marks on the ribs.

DR. ALBERT ROBBINS:  Uh-huh, but did you see the hairline fracture on the 
posterior skull?

GRISSOM:  No.

(GRISSOM puts on his glasses and leans in closer for a look.)

(Camera moves into the skull to show the light from the fracture.)

DR. ALBERT ROBBINS:  Easy to miss, but it screams blunt-force trauma.  Also, the 
middle ear has three bones.  They're dusted with sodium and lodged against the 
malleus.  I found a tiny ball of earwax with grains of sand.

GRISSOM:  Salt and sand.  Killed at the beach?

DR. ALBERT ROBBINS:  Not ruling it out.

(NICK walks into the room.)

NICK:  Grissom.  Hey, doc.  Hotline's lit up.  Five callers all I.D.'D the same

around them.)

GRISSOM  We're trying to figure that out for you.  

(GRISSOM looks down at the open album in front of him.)

GRISSOM:  She was quite an athlete, huh?

MRS. GREEN:  Mm-hmm. Yeah.

GRISSOM:  Did she scuba dive?

MRS. GREEN:  She had just been certified.

GRISSOM:  Did, uh, Fay ... before she disappeared, go on any vacation?  Go 
diving or spend time at the beach?

MRS. GREEN:  No, not that I recall.  No.

GRISSOM:  And she, uh ... lived here with you until she disappeared?

MRS. GREEN:  No, she had just moved in with her boyfriend, Jason Hendler.  He 
still lives on Medley Place.

GRISSOM:  And the, uh ... police interviewed him after she disappeared?

MRS. GREEN:  A couple of times.  He had nothing to do with this.

GRISSOM:  Well, how do you know that?

MRS. GREEN:  He loved my daughter.  He was good to her.

GRISOSM:  Did they... ever fight?

APRIL LEWIS:  (o.s.)  I've given Eddie Willows twenty lap dances.  He never got 
rough till last night.

DET. B. EVANS:  In the parking lot.

APRIL LEWIS:  Yeah, he asked me to go for drinks you know, but out in the 
parking lot he starts kissing on me and I kind of laughed it off, but ... then 
he grabbed me and he slams me against the wall and... that pig.

(CATHERINE appears in the doorway.  She looks into the room and sees APRIL 
talking.  She steps forward and looks into the exam room.)

CATHERINE:  Hi.  

(DET. EVANS stands up.)

CATHERINE:  Evans, I'm sorry I'm late.  I'm Catherine ... (hesitates) ... just 
Catherine.  I'm a forensic scientist.

APRIL LEWIS:  Scientist ... wow.  You look so normal.

CATHERINE:  Thanks.

DET. B. EVANS:  (quietly)  Catherine, you sure want ... ?

CATHERINE:  Yeah.

CATHERINE:  Those bruises from last night?

APRIL LEWIS:  Yeah.  A guy pinned me against a wall.

CATHERINE:  Sexual assault nurse collect a kit yet?

DET. B. EVANS:  She just finished.

CATHERINE:  Why don't you see if you can catch her.  I'd like her to get a 
sample from under her fingernails.

(DET. EVANS leaves the room.)

APRIL LEWIS:  (nervously)  Uh ... what kind of sample?

CATHERINE:  Anything that might, show up from a ... a struggle.

(SARA and WARRICK work on looking for the bullet in the parking lot.  SARA uses 
the metal detector and WARRICK searches the edges near the fence.)

SARA:  It's not here.

WARRICK:  Bullets just don't disappear.

(A young man wearing a red vest approaches them at the edge of the parking lot.  
SARA turns around and spots him.)

SARA:  Excuse me.  No one's allowed inside the tape.

VALET:  I saw what happened.

(WARRICK and SARA head for the young man.)

WARRICK:  Have you talked to the police?

VALET:  (shakes his head)  Police make me nervous.  You guys aren't cops, are 
you?

WARRICK:  We're Crime Scene Investigators.  We need to know what you saw.

VALET:  I was kind of taking a break, hanging out at the P.T. Cruiser.  I was 
laid back in the heated driver's seat when I heard the siren.

(Quick flashback to:  The VALET is sitting in the car.  He turns his head to 
look when he hears the police siren.)

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  (o.s.)  Put your hands on the wheel!

SUSPECT:  (o.s.)  I didn't do it ... 

(JERROD leans forward to get a better look.)

SUSPECT:  ... whatever you think I did!  Man, I'm looking at three strikes.  

(JERROD opens his car door and gets out of the car.

SUSPECT:  ... I'm not going back.  Just let me show you my registration.

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  No! Hands on the wheel!

WARRICK, then heads for his locker where he opens it and takes a seat on the 
bench.)

GRISSOM:  I heard about your eyewitness.  A valet who joyrides.  He sounds 
reliable.  (beat)  So, uh, how's the thing going on Eddie Willows?

WARRICK:  What thing?

GRISSOM:  The thing that I told Catherine to pass off to you.

WARRICK:  (realizing and trying to cover)  Oh, good.  Um ... we just put some 
stuff through the lab.

GRISSOM:  Get ahold of the DMV?

WARRICK:  I was just about to.

(GRISSOM slams his locker door shut and stands up.  CATHERINE walks into the 
locker room.)

GRISSOM:  Warrick? Why would you call the DMV on a rape charge?

(WARRICK sighs at being busted.)

CATHERINE:  Okay.  I didn't hand it off.

GRISSOM:  Really?

CATHERINE:  I'm sorry, Warrick.

WARRICK:  If you want me to suave anyone, I got to know the shot.

CATHERINE:  I know.  

(WARRICK leaves the locker room.)

CATHERINE:  (to WARRICK)  I'm sorry.  

(CATHERINE walks up to GRISSOM, trying to explain it to him.)

CATHERINE:  I'm doing this for Lindsey.

GRISSOM:  You so much as breathe on the evidence, it's contaminated and I end up 
the bad guy.

CATHERINE:  Eyes, no hands.

GRISSOM:  What's the status?

CATHERINE:  Skin samples from under the woman's fingernails are consistent with 
Ed's.  I saw some bruises but Eddie's style has always been very ... involved 
... vigorous.

GRISSOM:  (puzzled)  Vigorous?

(From the other side of the shelf, apparently WARRICK didn't leave the locker 
room.  He explains.)

WARRICK:  She's trying to tell you Eddie likes it rough.

CATHERINE:  Thank you, Warrick.  Eddie said that she was into it.

GRISSOM:  "He said.  She said?"  It's about the evidence, Catherine.

GREG SANDERS:  So how many grains of sand in the ocean, huh?

NICK:  I don't care about the ocean, just the sand in my skeleton.  Can you 
pinpoint a beach?

GREG SANDERS;  I don't know.  I might have to do some field research.  (Looks at 
NICK.)  Hey, you think Grissom would send me to Hawaii?

(NICK looks up and sees GRISSOM in the doorway, GREG'S back is to the door so he 
doesn't see GRISSOM enter the lab.)

NICK:  Why don't you ask him yourself?

GRISSOM:  Ask me what?

(GREG turns around and stands up.)

GREG SANDERS:  Oh, nothing. I, uh ... I was just telling Nick about your sand.  
Well, it's not sand.  It's not natural anyway.  Here, check this out.

(GRISSOM looks through the scope.)

GREG SANDERS:  Now, if this were natural sand, the surface would be smooth.  

[SCOPE VIEW:  GRAINS OF SAND]

GREG SANDERS:  (o.s.)  This looks more like Fremont Street on a Saturday night 
... rough.

NICK:  Could the particles be sediment from the concrete where we found her?

GREG SANDERS:  No. No way.  I analyzed the mineral content.  It's feldspar and 
quartz.  That's crushed gray sandstone.  It's man-made, in a rock crusher.

NICK:  What does that mean?

GRISSOM:  It means she wasn't killed in Hawaii.  

(GREG freezes at being busted and slowly turns to look at GRISSOM.  

GRISSOM:  Other than that ... he has no idea.

(BRASS walks through the hallway just in time to see WARRICK turn the corner and 
head his way.)

BRASS:  Is this payback, Warrick?  Is that what this is?  I was tough on you, so 
Officer Tyner takes my heat?

WARRICK:  That's how you think I work?

(SARA joins them trying to diffuse the argument building.)

SARA:  Brass, this has nothing to do with anything.

BRASS:  D.A. is filing charges.  On the testimony of a bleary-eyed car jockey 
who was 40 feet from the jeep.

(Behind them, OFFICER JOE TYNER appears in the hallway.  He's dressed down and 
carrying a duffle bag over his shoulder.  He turns and sees them arguing.)

SARA:  Eyewitness is a bonus:  Your cop's magazine was one bullet shy.

(He drops his bag and heads for the group, gearing up for a fight.)

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  That's you CSIs, always counting bullets.

(WARRICK turns around.)

WARRICK:  What's he doing here?

(BRASS moves to get between the OFFICER and the CSIs.)

BRASS:  Joe, you shouldn't be here.

OFFICER JOE TYNER:  You show up with your latex gloves and your little fancy 
metal boxes ... your little powders ... you have no idea what it's like to put 
your life on the line every day!

(OFFICER JOE TYNER'S voice gets louder as he finally shouts loud enough that 
GRISSOM stands up from the scope in one of the labs to look at what the 
commotion in the hallway is about.)

WARRICK:  Oh, you mean dealing with punk-ass cops who hide behind their union 
reps?

(OFFICER TYNER lunges for WARRICK and pushes him in the chest.  WARRICK takes a 
step backward.)

SARA:  Wow, wow guys.  Get off him.
BRASS:  Hey!  Hey!  Joe!

(GRISSOM heads out into the hallway.  NICK follows.)

(BRASS manages to get OFFICER TYNER away from WARRICK.)

WARRICK:  (egging him on)  You're just a psycho!  You don't deserve a badge!

(OFFICER TYNER breaks from BRASS and heads for WARRICK.  He reaches WARRICK and 
finds GRISSOM in his face.

GRISSOM:  Cut it out!  Not in my lab, pal.

OFFICER TYNER:  Scientists!  I bet you've never even drawn your weapon.

GRISSOM:  Yeah. I hope I never have to.  Nick, walk this guy out the door.

NICK:  Now, let's go.

(NICK walks down the hallway making sure that OFFICER TYNER leaves the 
building.)

GRISSOM:  Sara.

SARA:  Yeah.  Come on, Warrick.  Come on. Let's go.

(SARA leads WARRICK away from the hallway in the other direction.  GRISSOM turns 
around and sees BRASS walking straight for him, angrier than ever.)

BRASS:  (angry)  This is your fault, Gil.  Your nose is so far down a microscope 
you have no idea what your people are doing.

GRISSOM:  Yeah, I know one thing:  My guys will not bend and they will not be 
intimidated.

BRASS:  Hey, I sat in your chair.  Your guys have one job:  To find the 
evidence.  So where the hell is the missing bullet?  Huh?

(And with that, BRASS turns and walks away.)

WAITRESS:  Sure.

CATHERINE:  What are you doing here?

EDDIE WILLOWS:  I knew you'd be here.  You got a routine:  Turkey club, no 
bacon.

CATHERINE:  You could be a detective.  Thank you.

WAITRESS:  You're welcome.

CATHERINE:  (sighs)  Well, you obviously made bail.  Did you get a lawyer?

EDDIE WILLOWS:  I got you and The Truth.  Who needs a lawyer?  

(CATHERINE ignores him and picks up her Turkey club sandwich.)

EDDIE WILLOWS:  (looks away and sighs)  I came to tell you how great you are.  
It always comes out wrong.  When I married you, I married up.  I know that.

WARRICK:  Spare tire.

immediately notices the sound and turns to look.)

JASON HENDLER:  It's just a warped floorboard.

AMY HENDLER:  It's been like that forever.

GRISSOM:  Mr. Hendler, at any time, was your fish tank over here?

JASON HENDLER:  Maybe,  a while ago. Why?

GRISSOM:  Did it ever overflow?  (beat)  Break?

JSON HENDLER:  Not that I recall.

(CATHERINE walks into the lab.)

CATHERINE:  So, Greg, what did the rape kit say?

GREG SANDERS:  Nonoxynol-9, polyvinyl alcohol, and...

CATHERINE:  Glycerin?

(GREG looks up from the results, surprised that CATHERINE got it.)

GREG SANDERS:  Yeah.

(She holds up the box.)

CATHERINE:  It's a contraceptive film.  (She points to the mug in his hand.)  
What are you drinking?

GREG SANDERS:  Chamomile.

CATHERINE:  May I?

GREG SANDERS:  Sure.

CATHERINE:  Thank you.

(CATHERINE takes the mug from GREG and removes the tea bag inside.  She pours 
the liquid into a glass container.)

GREG SANDERS:  So you used to work at the French Palace?

CATHERINE:  That's right.

GREG SANDERS:  You know, my friends and I used to go there.

CATHERINE:  Really?

GREG SANDERS:  Payday fridays.

CATHERINE:  Uh-huh.

GREG SANDERS:  Maybe I saw you perform?

CATHERINE:  (sighs)  Oh, I doubt it.

GREG SANDERS:  Why?

(CATHERINE looks at GREG.)

CATHERINE:  You would have remembered.  

(GREG looks absolutely stunned.  CATHERINE turns her attention back to the 
experiment.  She removes one of the contraceptive films and dips it into the 
heated liquid.)

CATHERINE:  So, this film-- it's kind of hard to detect because it dissolves 
with body heat.  And, as you know, Greg, sex can make a body pretty hot.

(They wait for the film to dissolve.)

GREG SANDERS:  This stuff has to be inserted fifteen minutes to three hours 
before sex.

CATHERINE:  Which means that April inserted the film while she was still at 
work.

GREG SANDERS:  But how could she have known to put the birth control in before 
she was raped?

CATHERINE  Exactly.

(CATHERINE drops the film and forceps into the glass container, stands up and 
walks out of the lab.)

(GREG lifts up the VCF box and looks at the back of it.)

SCENE #31:

[INT. CSI - HALLWAY]

(NICK and GRISSOM walk through the hallway)

NICK:  Guess where Jason Hendler was employed five years ago.

GRISSOM:  Summercliff Housing Development.  A plumber, perhaps?

NICK:  Close. A subcontractor.  How did you know?

GRISSOM:  Why else would you be so excited?  

(TERI MILLER walks through the hallway pulling her bags behind her.  GRISSOM 
looks up and sees her.)

GRISSOM:  Hey!  You weren't going to say good-bye to me?

NICK:  I'll meet you outside.  Hi, Teri.

TERI MILLER:  Thought I'd let you off easy.  But I did tack up my number on your 
big fish corkboard ... under "cold cases."

GRISSOM:  The ones that got away.

TERI MILLER:  Let's hope not.

(TERI heads out the hallway.  She glances back at GRISSOM as she turns the 
corner and out of his sight.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #32:

[INT. CSI - GARAGE]

(WARRICK and SARA show BRASS what they discovered.)

WARRICK:  So, check it out ... the laser is the path of the bullet.  If you were 
Officer Tyner and you approached the suspect from the driver's side of the 
vehicle ... 

SARA:  Vic was shot in the frontal lobe through the windshield.  There's no way 
I could shoot the guy from here and mimic that trajectory.

WARRICK:  The laws of physics trump the eye witness.  There's only one way this 
could've gone down.

(Quick flashback to:  That night.  The SUSPECT reaches for the glove compartment 
and opens it.)

SUSPECT:  I'll show you my registration!

OFFICER TYNER:  Put your hands on the wheel!

(The SUSPECT reaches for the gun inside.  He pulls it out and shoots himself in 
the forehead.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

WARRICK:  Officer Tyner was telling the truth.

(cc)  BRASS:  And that's a surprise?  

(cc)  SARA:  Ease up.  Until now, none of us knew what really happened.

BRASS:  So I bet you think I owe you one, huh?

WARRICK:  We work. We get paid.  You don't owe me anything.

BRASS:  (smirks)  Fine with me. 

(He turns and leaves the garage.  SARA shakes her head and sighs.)

(WARRICK doesn't look too disappointed by BRASS' reaction.)

SCENE #33:

[INT. STRIP BAR - DRESSING ROOM]

(CATHERINE is with APRIL in the dressing room.  APRIL is getting dressed.)

APRIL LEWIS:  He promised me a million things.  I got tired of him lying.

CATHERINE:  Like what -- marriage, kids?

APRIL LEWIS:  Music videos.  He kept telling me he'd put me in one but he never 
delivered.

CATHERINE:  And for that you set him up for rape?

(APRIL sighs.)

APRIL LEWIS:  No, it wasn't supposed to go this far, okay?  I got this friend 
over at the trop.  She got this high roller on a rape charge.  He paid a ton to 
make it go away.

CATHERINE:  Wait a minute. You think that Eddie's got money?

APRIL LEWIS:  He is in the music business.

CATHERINE:  He reps some bands off-strip.

APRIL LEWIS:  (disbelieving)  No, I met a producer friend of his from L.A. and 
he's always throwing money around this place.  

(CATHERINE starts to laugh.  APRIL is puzzled by CATHERINE'S behavior.  She 
turns to look at CATHERINE.)

APRIL LEWIS:  What?  What's so funny?

CATHERINE:  (sighs)  Nothing.

(She shakes her head.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #34:

[INT. JASON HENDLER'S RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT]

(GRISSOM takes the floorboard off.  The HENDLERS watch.  GRISSOM looks under the 
floorboard and doesn't find the sand there anymore.)

GRISSOM:  I see you've cleaned house.  I thought you might.

JASON HENDLER:  I vacuumed up the sand.  Big deal.  Will you at least tell me 
what you're doing here?

GRISSOM:  I'm working, sir.  Officer, would you hit the lights, please?

(The top light turn off.  GRISSOM sprays the floors.)

JASON HENDLER  You're getting my floor wet.

(NICK enters the room.)

NICK:  It's luminol, sir.  It dries quickly.

GRISSOM:  Surface is non-reactive.

JASON HENDLER:  I know what you're doing.  You're looking for blood.

AMY HENDLER:  My husband didn't do anything.  Why are you harassing him?

GRISSOM:  Let's try the ALS.

NICK:  Why use the Alternate Light Source if the luminol didn't pick up 
anything?

GRISSOM:  Luminol works on the surface.  ALS chases the protein molecules in 
blood.  It actually penetrates the wood.  These floorboards are all made of 
maple -- high-end-but they've been lacquered.

(They look at each other.)

NICK:  Who lacquers maple unless they're trying to hide something?

GRISSOM:  Yeah.  

(NICK turns on the ALS and sweeps the floor.  They find glowing spots of blood 
drops and hand prints on the floorboards.  GRISSOM stands up for a better look.)

GRISSOM:  Turn it off, Nick.  Officer, hit the lights, please.  

(The top room lights turn on.)

GRISSOM:  Mr. Hendler let me tell you what I think happened to Fay.  On the 
night of her disappearance, the two of you got in a heated argument.

(Quick flashback to:  JASON HENDLER and FAY GREEN arguing and fighting.)

FAY GREEN:  Don't you walk away from me!

(JASON grabs FAY.  She pulls away and goes head first into the large fish tank, 
water spills everywhere.  FAY falls to the floor.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

GRISSOM:  Suffering a concussion, Fay falls to the floor.  In the heat of the 
moment you decide to make it final.  But Fay surprises you:  She fights back.  
She pushes you off.  She crawls a few feet away and you move in for the final 
attack.  

(Quick flashback to:  The fish tank breaks.  FAY is on the floor.  JASON HENDLER 
is above her, hitting her with the hand tool.  End of flashback.  Resume to 
present.)

GRISSOM:  One thing that I don't know, though.  What did you use to kill her?

JASON HENDLER:  I didn't kill her.

GRISSOM:  Well, whatever the weapon it wasn't a knife, but it worked.  You drove 
her body over to Summercliff where you were employed and you buried her in wet 
concrete.

JASON HENDLER:  I worked the Summercliff job less than a week.  Ask Amy. She 
worked for the same contractor.

AMY HENDLER:  That's right.  He got a better job in Reno.  Jason wasn't even in 
Vegas when Fay disappeared.

NICK:  And you painted the floors, covered your tracks for what, aesthetic 
reasons?

(AMY sighs.)

GRISSOM:  Five years is a long time but eventually the past catches up to 
everybody.

JASON HENDLER:  (insistent)  I didn't kill Fay!  I loved her.  I STILL love her.

(JASON stops when he realizes what he just said.  Everyone freezes.  JASON turns 
around to look at AMY, who shakes her head in denial.)

JASON HENDLER:  Amy, I'm sorry.  I'm sorry.

AMY HENDLER:  You still love her?

(He looks at her and sighs.  He doesn't deny it.)

NICK:  Officer, would you please arrest Mr. Hendler?

(A couple of officers walk into the room to handcuff JASON HENDLER.)

JASON HENDLER:  Call my father.  He'll get a lawyer.  I didn't do it.  It's 
okay.

GRISSOM:  (to NICK)  I'll ride along with the cops.  Bring homicide up to speed.  
This is now a fresh crime scene.

(GRISSOM heads out.)

NICK:  I'll get to work.

(NICK looks over at AMY who stands in the room, stunned.)

(NICK leaves the room to get his things.  In the next room, NICK reaches for his 
gloves.  As he puts them on, his eyes latch onto the framed photos hanging on 
the wall.  He looks at them absently, but something in one of the photos catches 
his eyes.)

(It's a black and white photo of a couple of people wearing mountain climbing 
gear.  He remembers what GRISSOM told him in the autopsy room.)

GRISSOM:  (v.o.)  "The instrument had to be slightly curved with some kind of 
serrated edge like crocodile teeth..."

(The camera moves in slowly to the climbing picks in the mountain climbers' 
hands.  NICK realizes what the murder weapon is.)

NICK:  (eyes glued to the photo)  Mrs. Hendler, do you and your husband do much 
rock climbing?

(The gun cocks.)

AMY HENDLER:  (o.s.)  Yes.  

(NICK turns to look at AMY and instead, finds himself staring down the barrel of 
a gun.)

AMY HENDLER:  That's what I killed her with.

CUT TO:



SCENE #35:

[EXT. HENDLER RESIDENCE - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]

(JASON HENDLER, the OFFICERS and GRISSOM walk out of the house.)

JASON HENDLER:  I can prove I was in Reno when Fay disappeared.  I've got 
records.  You don't want to talk, fine.  But I've got a question for you.  Why 
do you care so much about the floors?  I mean, Amy paints them every spring.  
It's no big deal.

(JASON shakes his head as the officers put him in the back seat of the car.  
GRISSOM stands there, thinking.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #36:

[INT. HENDLER RESIDENCE - NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]

(Staring at the gun barrel, NICK backs away slowly from AMY HENDLER.)

AMY HENDLER:  Jason was in Reno.  I came here to tell Fay that we would be 
together again one day.

NICK  Mrs. Hendler, put the gun down.

AMY HENDLER:  Do you know he was engaged to me when he met her?

(Quick flashback to:  FAY GREEN walks away from AMY.  AMY grabs FAY.  FAY pulls 
away; they struggle for a moment.  FAY hits head first into the fish tank.)

AMY HENDLER:  Where are you going?
FAY GREEN:  Stop it!

(While FAY is on the floor, AMY reaches for the mountain climbing pick and beats 
FAY with it.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

AMY HENDLER:  There was blood ... everywhere.  No one else could see it ... but 
I knew it was there.  A dead body is so heavy.

(NICK nods his head, tears in his own eyes.)

NICK:  Mrs. Hendler, I'm a good listener.  (swallows)  You got to give me the 
gun.

AMY HENDLER:  (cries)  I can't!  (whispers)  I'm sorry.

NICK:  No, wait.

AMY HENDLER:  But you arrested my husband.

NICK:  Wait!

GRISSOM:  (o.s.)  Mrs. Hendler.  

(AMY HENDLER swings around to find GRISSOM pointing his own gun at her.  His 
focus intent on her.)

GRISSOM:  Nick, don't move.

(AMY HENDLER holds the shaking gun on GRISSOM.)

GRISSOM:  Please.  I don't want to fire my gun any more than you do.  For five 
years, you've been washing the blood off your hands.  (She starts crying.)  
Let's put down the guns.

(AMY slowly lowers the gun.  GRISSOM slowly walks toward her.  NICK sees that 
it's going to be all right and turns around, his back to everyone.)

(GRISSOM takes the gun from AMY.)

GRISSOM:  You okay, Nick?

(NICK turns to look at GRISSOM.)

NICK:  Yeah.

GRISSOM:  Come on.

(GRISSOM leads AMY HENDLER out of the room.  NICK takes off his gloves.)

SCENE #37:

[EXT. PARK - DAY]

(CATHERINE sits on the park bench watching LINDSEY playing on the swings.)

LINDSEY WILLOWS:  Hey, mom!

(EDDIE walks up from behind and stands next to CATHERINE.  CATHERINE waves back 
to LINDSEY.)

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Morning.

(CATHERINE looks up at EDDIE.)

CATHERINE:  Morning.  

(EDDIE takes the seat next to CATHERINE.)

CATHERINE:  Please don't tell me that you're in trouble again already.

EDDIE WILLOWS:  You weren't home.  I figured you'd be here.  Lindsey loves this 
park.  So, I thought I'd take you out to breakfast.  Say thank you.

CATHERINE:  You're welcome.  

(CATHERINE takes off her sunglasses and looks at EDDIE.)

CATHERINE:  I don't think that's such a good idea, though.

(EDDIE nods.)

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Cath, when are we going to talk about what happened between us?

CATHERINE:  What's to talk about?  You cheated on me.  I caught you.  I've got a 
new life.

(They both turn to look at LINDSEY.  He reaches for CATHERINE.)

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Cath ... 

(CATHERINE pulls away.)

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Come on.  Why do you fight the one thing we're good at?

(He reaches for her again and leans in close ... just as LINDSEY looks up from 
her seat on the swing and sees him.  She runs over to them.)

LINDSEY WILLOWS:  Daddy!  Daddy!

EDDIE WILLOWS:  Hey!  There's my little girl.

(He turns away from CATHERINE and stands to pick up LINDSEY.  She jumps into his 
arms and hugs him.  Over her shoulder, EDDIE looks at CATHERINE.  She sighs.)

(The camera pulls away from them.)

FADE TO BLACK.

SCENE #01:

[EXT. DESERT - NIGHT]

(A naked man runs in the desert.  He looks desperately behind him as he runs 
away from something.)

(He runs and runs and runs.)

SCENE #02:

[EXT. DESERT - DAY]

(The camera shutter clicks as WARRICK takes a photo of the crime scene.  In 
front of him, GRISSOM kneels over the body while NICK stands behind him 
watching.)

GRISSOM:  Maggots.  This kid's been here awhile.  

(GRISSOM turns the body over to its side.  WARRICK continues to photograph the 
body.)

GRISSOM:  No gunshot wounds.  No stab marks.  No signs of strangulation.

WARRICK:  It's a long way out in the sticks just to drop dead.

(GRISSOM stands up and looks around.)

GRISSOM:  (sighs)  Not if you're being chased.  

(GRISSOM starts to walk around to look at the ground around the body.)

GRISSOM:  Look at the foot patterns leading up to the body.  See the strides?  
This kid was running.  

(GRISSOM kneels down by a footprint impression in the dirt.)

GRISSOM:  See the left foot impression?  It's straight; that's normal.  

(GRISSOM looks at the next print.)

GRISSOM:  But look at the right foot impression.  It's turned outward.  Almost 
90 degrees.

WARRICK:  He was looking over his shoulder when he was running.  Think there was 
somebody else here?

GRISSOM:  Based on these prints, it's hard to tell.

WARRICK:  (to the OFFICER)  Can I get this taped off here?

OFFICER:  Yes, sir.

(GRISSOM kneels down back at the body and looks at it again.)

WARRICK:  So you want to call it?  How do you think he died?

GRISSOM:  Fear.  (beat)  Someone chased this kid to death.

SCENE #03:

[INT. CSI - GRISSOM'S OFFICE - NIGHT]

(GRISSOM'S working in his darkened office.  He adjusts the overhead lamp, then 
writes something down.  He's working on an experiment.  He as a pan with a piece 
of paper in some kind of liquid with the different colored light above it.)

(He again adjusts the light and checks the meter reading.)

(GRISSOM'S phone rings.  He answers it.)

GRISSOM:  (to phone)  Grissom.  (pause)  No.  (pause)  No, yes, I did.  Thank 
you.

(GRISSOM hangs the phone up and puts it down on the table beside him.  He goes 
back to his experiment.)

(Someone knocks on the door lightly and it opens.  CATHERINE and WARRICK walks 
in.  They glance around in the darkened office looking for GRISSOM.)

CATHERINE:  Hey, you want to give us our assignments or do you want us to 
take... the night off?

(GRISSOM adjusts the light again.)

GRISSOM:  (irritated)  Paperwork, paper clips, paper-punchers -- all these 
people want me to do is push paper; nobody wants me to solve crimes.

CATHERINE:  Hey, (shrugs) ... you could've turned the job down.

GRISSOM:  Yeah, the grass is always greener, Catherine.

(GRISSOM adjusts the light again, not making a move to get up.)

(CATHERINE waits a moment, then reaches out to help him.)

CATHERINE:  Well let's just hurry this up.

(She grabs the lamp and pulls it down into the pan below.  It immediately 
catches fire.)

(GRISSOM sighs.)

WARRICK:  Cool.

CATHERINE:  You really want to see flash paper flash?  Walk in on a bookie.

GRISSOM:  That's what this was about-- bookies.

(GRISSOM'S phone rings again.  CATHERINE turns and walks over to GRISSOM'S 
desk.)

CATHERINE:  Don't answer it.  

(She grabs the assignment sheets off of the desk and hands them to GRISSOM.)

CATHERINE:  We've got work to do ... boss.

(The phone continues to ring.  GRISSOM grabs the assignments from CATHERINE and 
follows them out of the office.  He hangs the phone up and tosses it on the 
table as he leaves.)

SCENE #04:

[INT. CSI - HALLWAY - NIGHT]

(Walking through the hallway, GRISSOM hands out the assignments.)

GRISSOM:  Warrick, you and I are on the four-nineteen -- our dead body in the 
desert.  

(GRISSOM hands the assignment sheet to WARRICK.  He takes it.)

GRISSOM:  Sara, dead body of your own.  Dumpsite out near Henderson.

(SARA takes the assignment sheet from GRISSOM and looks at it.)

SARA:  Oh, I'll dress down.

GRISSOM:  Catherine, Verbum Dei Charter School.  Four-twenty homicide.  The 
school dean was killed in his office.  Suspect called it in; could be self-
defense.

(CATHERINE takes the sheet.  She and SARA continue down one hallway, while 
GRISSOM stops at the intersection.)

CATHERINE:  Did some kid off him with a silver spoon?

GRISSOM:  (calls back)  Suspect's not a kid.  It's the woman who founded the 
school.  Take Nicky with you.

CATHERINE:  Where is he?

(NICK rushes out from the room and into the hallway.  He catches up with 
CATHERINE and SARA.)

NICK:  Here I am.

CATHERINE:  You're coming with me.

(CATHERINE holds out the assignment sheet to NICK.  He grabs it and looks at 
it.)

SARA:  Glad you could make it.

(NICK stares at SARA.  SARA grins back at NICK.)

SARA:  I'm outta here.  Good luck tonight, you guys.

NICK  See you.

SCENE #05:

[INT. CSI - FORENSIC AUTOPSY - NIGHT]

(DR. JENNA WILLIAMS goes over the boy's body with GRISSOM and WARRICK.)

WARRICK:  Can't make a ruling?  Look at the bruise marks on John Doe here.  I 
call that suffocation.

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Not necessarily.  It could be the result of his face 
impacting the ground at expiration.

WARRICK:  I'm going to take a mouth swab.

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Go ahead.  Grissom, I have something to show you.  

(DR. WILLIAMS leads GRISSOM to the counter off to the side of the room.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  You know, when a kid this young drops dead smart money 
chases anesthetics, alcohol methanol, maybe even a little freon.  

(WARRICK takes the swab sample of the mouth.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  I got to be honest.  I've had a lot of dead bodies from the 
desert and when they're out there too long the elements tend to eat away the 
evidence.  My opinion is ... (she gestures down at the body) ... you are looking 
at the picture of health, internally.  Externally, it's another matter.

(She motions to the scope on the counter.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Skin sample.

(GRISSOM looks through the scope.)

[SCOPE VIEW of the skin.]

GRISSOM:  (o.s.)  This kid was dry as a bone.

(He straightens and looks at DR. WILLIAMS.)

GRISSOM:  From exposure?

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Skin's not consistent with elemental damage.  (stumped)  
Warrick told me what you said about the cause of death being fear.  I never read 
about that in any medical book.

GRISSOM:  Try the Forensic Medical Journal.  Read the four canons on the cause 
of death:  Homicide, suicide, natural and unexplained.  Talks about fear in the 
last part of "unexplained."

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  (to WARRICK)  I had to ask.

GRISSOM:  You want to know what killed this kid?  Benihana the maggots.

WARRICK:   What the maggots?

GRISSOM: Tox the maggots we found on the victim.  Whatever he ingested has 
probably evaporated from the sun.  But the maggots are like little 
refrigerators.  They preserve what we digest for longer periods of time.

WARRICK:  Entomology is our friend.

GRISSOM:   Yes.

WARRICK:  (to the maggot)  Sorry, little buddy.  

(WARRICK puts the maggot down on the table.  He holds out his hand like a 
surgeon about to perform surgery.)

WARRICK:  Scalpel.

(GREG sits in the chair next to him and hands WARRICK the scalpel.)

GREG SANDERS:  My name is Paul and this is between y'all.

WARRICK:  Talk about pulp fiction.  

(WARRICK chops the little maggot into maggot pieces and puts it in the mortar.  
He steps aside and motions to GREG.)

WARRICK:  It's all yours, doc.  

(GREG stands and smashes the maggot pieces into maggot mush.)

WARRICK:  Fire up that gas chromatograph mass spectrometer thing, will you?

GREG SANDERS:  No problem, son.  

(GREG takes a sample and tests it.)

GREG SANDER:  Fifteen seconds till pay dirt.

WARRICK:  Cool.

GREG SANDERS:  Play any pigskin, man?

WARRICK:  No, I'm off that.  

GREG SANDERS:  It's prime time for you.

WARRICK:  I haven't made a bet in a month.  I can't say I don't have that itch, 
though.

(The machine beeps and the results print out.  GREG grabs it and looks it over.)

GREG SANDERS:  Hmm. Haven't seen this stuff for a while.

GRISSOM:  What's that?

GREG SANDERS:  Jimsonweed.

DETECTIVE on the case and puts her kit down on the ground.)

SARA:  (motions to the dumpster)  Do you have a name?

DETECTIVE EVANS:  She's not exactly carrying a purse.

(He helps SARA step up to the dumpster.  SARA looks inside and sees the woman's 
body wrapped in plastic.  She snaps some photos.)

SARA:  Oh ... (camera shutter clicking)  okay, let's take her out.

DAVID PHILLIPS:  Well, here's the reason the skin was funny.

SARA:  Formaldehyde, right?

DAVID PHILLIPS:  Close. Biotone arterial. Promotes high diffusion and fast 
drainage in skin tissue.

SARA:  So I was right.  This woman's been embalmed.

(SARA takes the seat in front of the monitor.)

DAVID PHILLIPS:  Yeah. Yeah, I already ran her prints through work here.  Got an 
I.D. right here.

(SARA works on the computer and the computer beeps.)

DAVID PHILLIPS:  (flusters)  I, uh, I just want to say I-I ... well, I really 
admire the gusto with which you approach your job.

(DAVID walks around and stands in front of SARA.  He smiles.)

SARA:  (glances from the monitor to DAVID)  Are you hitting on me, David?

DAVID PHILLIPS:  Uh ...

(DAVID smiles and looks down at his shoes bashfully.  SARA is flattered.)

SARA:  Let me give you some friendly advice.  If you want to pull chicks, you've 
got to get aggressive.  You've gotta drop the glasses, lose the coat grow some 
scruff.  

(DAVID appears quietly dejected at the advice.)

SARA:  (smiles)  You do get a "C" for cute, though.

(DAVID glances back up at SARA, sees her smile and smiles back at her.)

DET. KANE:  Vernon Woods, Dean of the school.  Forty-nine, single.  Multiple 
blunt-force trauma wounds to the head.

CATHERINE:  With that, probably.

(Next to the body is a bloodied object.)

NICK:  I got it.  Man, check out all that blood spatter.

(Camera pans around the room to show the bloodied walls.  The camera also 
lingers on the blood spatter across a Teacher's award.)

CATHERINE:  Yeah. Blows to the head, up close and personal.  A lot of passion 
around this one.  (to the DETECTIVE)  How about the suspect?

DET. KANE:  Kate Armstrong.  Founded the school.  She called 9-1-1 herself.  She 
says he attacked her.  She's out in the hallway.

KATE ARMSTRONG:  He wouldn't let go of me.  He kept pawing.  I can still smell 
his aftershave.  (sobbing)  I mean ... it's all a blur.  I grabbed the closest 
thing I could and I hit him with it.

CATHERINE:  A rock?

KATE ARMSTRONG:  I don't know what it was.  I didn't care.  I just wanted him 
off of me.

CATHERINE:  How many times did you hit him?

KATE ARMSTRONG:  Once.

(Quick flashback to:  Inside Dean VERNON WOODS' office, he has KATE ARMSTRONG in 
his arms.  She struggles against him.)

VERNON WOODS:  What's the matter?  Come on. No one's going to hear.  Everyone's 
in class.  Where's the harm?

(KATE looks down on the desk and grabs the rock.)

KATE ARMSTRONG:  I said get off of me!

(She hits him on the forehead and he lets her go.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

CATHERINE:  Miss Armstrong ... were you and the Dean having a personal 
relationship?

KATE ARMSTRONG:  No.  No.  Vernon's a pig.

CATHEIRNE:  Then why did you hire him?  You founded the school.  It's your 
integrity on the line.

KATE ARMSTRONG:  He's great at raising money.  His donor list is huge.  I didn't 
mean to kill him.  (sniffling)  I just wanted him to leave me alone.

CATHERINE:  But you hit him more than once.

KATE ARMSTRONG:  Who knows. I ...

CATHERINE:  Well, you hit a man once, there's no blood.  The first hit's free.  
You hit him more than that ... (clears throat)  The walls in his office look 
like the Dean went a couple rounds with Mike Tyson.

KATE ARMSTRONG:  Then I hit him more than once.  Like I said, I just ... I 
wanted him off me.

CATHERINE:  Will you excuse me?  Officer. Thanks.

(CATHERINE steps away and motions for the OFFICER.  She meets up with NICK at 
the end of the hallway.)

NICK:  What did you find out?

CATHERINE:  Heavy on B.S., zippo on truth.

BRASS:  Where was the last place you saw your friend?

BOBBY TAYLOR:  After work, we went out.

(BOBBY absently scratches his right arm near the elbow and through his shirt.)

BRASS:  You two work together?

BOBBY TAYLOR:  No. A few blocks apart.  I'm over at Voosh's, you know?  Voosh's 
fireworks.  And he's at Element Sound, the music store.

BRASS:  You guys go into the desert?

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Yeah. A party out near red rock.  How did you know?

BRASS:  You just told us.

(BOBBY'S impressed.  He chuckles.)

BRASS:  So spill it.

(BOBBY absently scratches his arm and tries to remember what they did.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  We, uh, drank a couple beers hung out, and ... then I just lost 
track of him around midnight and I haven't seen him since.

GRISSOM:  Did you guys drop anything that night?  Ecstasy, crystal, "G"?

BOBBY TAYLOR:  No.  No way.  Look, do you ... do you know where Eric is or not?

BOBBY TAYLOR:  (sniffs)  Oh, god ... what happened to you, Eric?  Oh, god ...

(GRISSOM watches, not unaffected by the young man.)

(There's a light knock at the door.  WARRICK pushes the door open and signals 
GRISSOM with a file folder in his hand.)

WARRICK:  Hey, boss, I got something for you.  

(GRISSOM walks over to the door, leaving BOBBY with ERIC.)

WARRICK:  (sotto voce)  I did the whole tox-the-maggots thing like you said.  
Found jimsonweed in their blood.

(GRISSOM nods.)

GRISSOM:  Which means?

WARRICK:  Jimsonweed in Eric's blood.

GRISSOM:  Jimson Weed.  "dry as a bone, red as a beet blind as a bat, mad as a 
hatter."

WARRICK:  Really?  Cite your sources.

GRISSOM:  (shrugs and shakes his head)  Internet insomnia.

WARRICK:  I thought Brass just said that they weren't doing any drugs.

starts to dictate his notes.)

NICK:  (to tape)  Blood spatter on northwest wall.  Blood sprays northeast 
corner above ...

(NICK looks around.  The door opens and CATHERINE walks into the office.)

CATHERINE:  Wow.  

(NICK nods to CATHERINE as she closes the door.)

CATHERINE:  Now, there's a look I like to see-- confusion.

(NICK chuckles.)

NICK:  No, I'm not confused.  X marks the spot.  A blow here ... here ... and 
here.  Our dean received the majority of blows when he was on the ground.

CATHERINE:  Cast-off from the weapon against the window.

NICK:  Mm-hmm.

CATHERINE:  The back wall ... void... against the back wall.  

(CATHERINE points out the obvious empty spot on the wall to NICK.  She looks 
down.)

CATHERINE:  The floor under the body?

NICK:  The blood spatter has a void instead of one continuous line of spray.

CATHERINE:  There's an interruption -- a space where something or someone comes 
between the blood coming off the body and the wall.

NICK:  Which means our assailant was here and ... there was somebody else in 
this room.

CATHERINE:  Kate Armstrong is lying.

WARRICK:  Fruit juice, half ice.

GRISSOM:  Thanks, Warrick.

BOBBY TAYLOR:  The guy said it was natural -- that it wasn't a drug.  I mean, 
jimsonweed is a plant.

GRISSOM:  Most drugs derive from plants.  That doesn't make them safe.

WARRICK:  Or legal, for that matter.

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Yeah, but he said it was safe.  That's why we bought it.

(WARRICK sits down.)

WARRICK:  Did you take the drug, too?

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Yeah.  We both did.  You drink it.  It's a tea.

GRISSOM:  Who sold you this "tea"?

BOBBY TAYLOR:  He didn't give a name.  He just ... he told us that j-weed would 
be a cool high.  Mind-expanding.  I mean, that's the whole point of a rave is to 
experiment.

WARRICK:  Did you get a stamp when you got in?

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Yeah.  But that was, like, four days ago.

WARRICK:  Well, mostly they use water-resistant pads so you don't sweat it off.  
Could you hit the lights, Gris?

(WARRICK reaches for his kit and takes out a light.  GRISSOM turns out the top 
lights.)

WARRICK:  (to BOBBY)  Where did they stamp you?  

(BOBBY holds out his wrist, palm up and pushes his watch further up his arm.  
WARRICK turns on the black light.  The stamp is still visible.)

WARRICK:  Yeah, that's DJ Masterband's stamp.  He is the spinner in Vegas right 
now.  Must have been playing at the rave these two were at.

(WARRICK turns off his hand light.  GRISSOM turns on the top light.)

GRISSOM:  Is there any way for us to track this, uh, DJ person?

WARRICK:  The free papers, yeah.  They have ads for all sorts of raves.

SARA:  (laughs)  Are you telling me that someone dug up Stephanie Reyes and 
stole her body?

RANDY GESEK:  They do it for gold, trinkets or just kicks.  You should hear what 
I hear at conventions.

SARA:  Did you report the robbery of Mrs. Reyes' remains to the police?

RANDY GESEK:  As I say, we try not to discuss the issue outside of the

RANDY GESEK:  Well ... 

SARA:  There's nothing else in there.  I thought you said grave robbers only 
stole bodies.

RANDY GESEK:  This might have been an inlaid casket -- something of value that 
people would steal.

(SARA thinks about this for a moment.)

WARRICK:  Gris, I got the prelims back on that swab I took off of our desert 
guy.  Products trapped in nasal hairs.

GRISSOM:  And? ...

WARRICK:  Products found in mouth and nose:  Mentholated nose spray, patchouli 
and aluminum.

GRISSOM:  Nose spray?  He had a cold.

WARRICK:  Patchouli -- they burn it at music stores.

GRISSOM:  Aluminum's the odd man out.

(GRISSOM pours the hot water into the tea pot.)

WARRICK:  Yeah. I got trace putting together a list of products made with the 
stuff.  Something tells me that's not lemonade.

GRISSOM:  Jimson tea.  I like to see what I'm dealing with.  (beat)  Doesn't 
look lethal, does it?

WARRICK:  Doesn't look like tea, either.

GRISSOM:  You know what the japanese tea ceremony signifies?

WARRICK:  What's that?

GRISSOM:  That every human encounter is a singular occasion which can never 
recur again in exactly the same way.

WARRICK:  Does that apply to our case?

(GRISSOM pours some of the tea into a glass cup/container.  He looks at it.)

KATE ARMSTRONG:  She's a friend on the faculty but she had nothing to do with 
this.

CATHERINE:  The blood evidence is telling us otherwise.

NICK:  Look, homicide will give us her name if you won't.  There are detectives,

CATHERINE:  And when you were playing witness where were you standing?

JULIA EASTMAN:  At the doorway.

CATHERINE:  You're sure?

JULIA EASTMAN:  (nods)  Yeah.

He lets her go and steps backward.)

CATHERINE:  Nick reenacted the crime using blood spatter.

NICK:  No, I just strung it.  (to CATHERINE)  Thank you, anyway.  (beat)  No, 
the computer gizmo does all the geometry.  

(NICK starts the program.  The computer beeps.)

NICK:  You factor in the location of the body in relation to the blood on the 
wall in order to recreate the event.  Each hit that drew blood gets its own 
unique color as he fell. See?

NICK:  (points to screen)  Dean woods was not in a standing position when he was 
killed.  He was on the floor.  (beat)  So how could your friend Kate, who's 
roughly half his size, wrestle him to the ground and keep him there while she 
bludgeoned him to death?  Without help?

RAVE GIRL:  (smiles)  I love you.

(She gives GRISSOM a hug.)

GRISSOM:  Uh, thank you.  You're a total stranger to me.

(The RAVE GIRL doesn't care, she's in her own little world.  WARRICK takes pity 
on GRISSOM and explains.)

WARRICK:  It's ecstasy.  It makes everyone fall in love.  

(WARRICK pulls the RAVE GIRL off of GRISSOM.)

WARRICK:  Don't take it personally, miss.  He's kind of married to his job.

BOBBY TAYLOR:  You killed my friend!

GRISSOM:  Break it up!  Bobby, stop it!

night.

ETHAN:  Which trip was that?  The one to San Diego or the one to Mars?

BRASS;  To the impound, where your car is going.  Probable cause.

ETHAN:  You don't have to take my car to the impound, okay?  You can search it.  
But I got news for you.  Jimson's a schedule one controlled substance.  
Mandatory suspended sentence the first go-round for possession.  And you can't 
even prove that much.

BRASS:  Guy knows a lot about the Nevada State Penal Code.

GRISSOM:  Well, if you're gonna break the law, Jim you've gotta know the law.

ETHAN:  Exactly.  (He holds out the car keys to GRISSOM.)  Just don't scratch my 
puppy.

(Cut to:  The party raves on.  GRISSOM takes out his flashlight and looks around 
the front driver's side seat.  He looks around the dash, in the cup holders.  He 
checks out the seat cushions.)

(He looks on the floor.  There, he finds the seeds.  He reaches into his kit to 
take a sample.  GRISSOM looks pleased.)

(Holding the sample in his hand, GRISSOM turns back to ETHAN.)

GRISSOM:  What do you say, Ethan?  These seeds look familiar?

ETHAN:  (laughs)  You just fish these out of your undies?  Look, man, if you 
want to take me in take me in.  I'll be back before the party's over.

GRISSOM:  'Cause you know the law, don't you, Ethan?  "Mandatory suspended 
sentence for first possession." Yeah?

ETHAN:  Exactly.

GRISSOM:  Let me tell you something, Humbert.  You're twice the age of these 
kids and most of them couldn't find their ass with a map.  You prey on innocent 
children concocting god-knows-what from god-knows-where selling Russian roulette

(GRISSOM and WARRICK are back in the autopsy room going over new findings with 
DR. WILLIAMS.)

GRISSOM:  This Ethan was selling jimsonweed tea at the desert rave.  I believe 
Eric drank the most toxic part -- the dregs, the bottom of the batch the part 
that's full of seeds.

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Well, if that's true ...

(Quick CGI to:  Camera starts traveling down ERIC'S open mouth and down his 
throat, all the way to the intestinal tract where it stops on two small seeds.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  (v.o.)  ... then we might be able to catch up with some of 
those seeds because they have a way of hanging around the lower intestinal 
tract.  

(End of CGI.  Resume on a pair of forceps picking out the seeds.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  And the last ones to leave the party ... would be ... right 
about ... here.  

(She pulls out the small seed.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Jimson reduced his gastric motility which kept this in his 
system.

WARRICK:  Now we just tie that to the dealer.

GRISSOM  Well, we see if it ties to the dealer.

WARRICK:  That's not what you were saying out at that rave all up in that guy's 
face.

GRISSOM:  There's three things I got a real problem with:  Guys that hit their 
wives, sexual assault on children and the scum that deal death to kids.

SCENE #24:

[INT. CSI - DNA LAB - NIGHT]

(In the lab, WARRICK, GRISSOM and GREG go over the seed analysis.)

WARRICK:  The chemical compositions break down exactly the same.

GREG SANDERS:  Yeah, but that doesn't necessarily prove that the seeds from the 
dead kid's gut came from the same place as the seeds in the dealer's car.

GRISSOM:  We need the pods to do a DNA match and we don't have them.

GREG SANDERS;  The truth is, it wouldn't matter.  I ran the seeds Eric ingested.  
The toxic levels are low -- too low to have killed him.

WARRICK:  Square one.

CUT TO:



SCENE #25:

[INT. CSI - GARAGE - NIGHT]

(SARA stands in the garage next to COLLINS and in front of a bunch of caskets.)

SARA:  There is no way I'm going to end up in a dumpster wrapped in plastic.  
I'm going to be cremated -- dust in the wind, you know.  I don't want any part 
of these things.

COLLINS:  I've already got mine paid off.

SARA:  Are you serious?

COLLINS:  Yeah. It looks just like this one.

(COLLINS walks over to a particular casket.)

SARA:  How much did it run you?

COLLINS:  Ten thou.

SARA;  $10,000?  For a box ... buried in the ground that everyone's only going 
to see you in once.

COLLINS:  I like it.  It feels like a caddie.

SARA:  So when you buy one of these for $10,000, it's yours, right?

COLLINS:  Well, of course it is.

SARA:  No one else gets to use it.

COLLINS:  It's built for one.

(SARA opens the casket and looks inside.  She examines the inside and sees 
something.  She turns around to grab a roller off of the counter.  She rolls it 
on the inside casket lining and comes up with various hair samples.)

(Camera zooms in for an extreme close up of the hairs stuck on the roller.)

SARA:  Then how did all these people get in here?

CUT TO:



SCENE #26:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - HALLWAY - NIGHT]

(GRISSOM takes a drink of water.  WARRICK sees GRISSOM and approaches him.)

WARRICK:  Thought I'd find you here.

GRISSOM:  It's why I live.

WARRICK:  Evidence ... a double-edged sword. 

GRISSOM:  Yeah.  Nobody wanted to put that pusher in jail more than I did.  
Evidence sets him free.

WARRICK:  How do you feel about this?

GRISSOM:  It doesn't matter how I feel.  The evidence only knows one thing:  The 
truth.  It is what it is.

WARRICK:  You don't really believe that, do you?

GRISSOM:  I was flying to a seminar in New Hampshire a couple summers ago.  I 
was sitting on the plane next to this philosophy professor from Harvard.  He 
told me this story about how, every morning he takes a leak right after his 
three-hour philosophy class.  He'd flush the toilet there'd be this tiny, brown 
spider fighting for its life against the swirling water.  Come back the next 
day, flush same spider clawing its way back from oblivion.  A week goes by, he 
decides to liberate the spider.  Grabs a paper towel, scoops him up sets him on 
the floor in the corner of the stall.  Comes back the next day ... what do you 
think happened to the spider?

WARRICK:  Dead.

GRISSOM:  On his back, eight legs in the air. Why?  Because one life imposed 
itself on another.  Right then, I realized where we stand.  I understood our 
role.  We don't impose our will on a spider.  We don't impose our hopes on the 
evidence.

(WARRICK nods.)

(The door opens and ETHAN walks out into the hallway.  The lawyer leaves.  ETHAN 
takes his time and gloats his release.)

ETHAN:  (gloating)  Twenty, ten, five, boom!  Touchdown, baby.  What's my name?

(ETHAN laughs.)

GRISSOM:  You'll be back.

ETHAN:  Oh, really?  What, have you got a crystal ball in your pocket or 
something?

GRISSOM:  You're a creature of habit.

WARRICK:  I'll catch you later.

(ETHAN laughs.)

SCENE #27:

[EXT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - FRONT ENTRANCE - NIGHT]

(The door opens.  CATHERINE and NICK exit the building.)

CATHERINE:  Okay, so this is what we've got so far on our dead dean.  Blood 
spatter and blood cast-off on the walls.  Kate Armstrong's confession, her 
clothes.  Three void areas, and that's pretty much it.  Anything else?

NICK:  That's not enough.  It's not enough.  What's the one thing we're missing?

(CATHERINE stops.)

CATHERINE:  That's it.

NICK:  What's it?

CATHERINE:  The one thing we're missing.

NICK:  (realizing)  The blood.

CATHERINE:  On Julia's clothes.

CUT TO:



SCENE #28:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM - NIGHT]

(NICK closes the door to the room.  CATHERINE and NICK both re-interview JULIA 
EASTMAN.)

CATHERINE:  We need the clothes that you were wearing the day that The Dean was 
killed.

JULIA EASTMAN:  I burned them.

CATHERINE:  Why?

JULIA EASTMAN:  The blood wouldn't come out.  They were ruined.

CATHERINE:  Blood's funny that way.  In fact, I bet there's lots of blood on 
Dean Woods' shirt.

DISSOLVE TO:



SCENE #29:

[INT CSI  EVIDENCE VAULT -- NIGHT]

(CATHERINE and NICK examine Dean VERNON WOODS' shirt.  CATHERINE notices the 
void.)

CATHERINE:  Look at that void.  What a beaut.

NICK:  Oh, yeah.  You don't even have to know every star and you can draw a 
constellation.

(Taking a pen, NICK outlines the void.)

NICK:  And fill in the rest.  Whoa, look at that last finger there.

CATHERINE:  Talk about your unique attributes.  What do you think -- a bandage?

NICK:  We'll have to ask our ladies, but I can tell you this -- somebody's 
playing through the pain.

CUT TO:



SCENE #30:

[INT. CSI - GRISSOM'S OFFICE - NIGHT]

(BOBBY TAYLOR is in GRISSOM'S office again.)

GRISSOM:  I, uh ... just wanted you to know that Eric didn't die from Jimson 
tea.  It didn't have the chemical toxicity to kill him.  The seeds weren't 
strong enough.

(BOBBY quietly listens to GRISSOM.  He doesn't say anything.  He starts rubbing 
his arm.  GRISSOM notices the movement.)

GRISSOM:  Is your arm all right?

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Yeah, uh, spider bite.  I think it's infected.

GRISSOM:  May I take a look?

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Sure. You're a doctor.  

(BOBBY undoes the cuff of his shirt.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  You might be able to give me something for it.

(He pushes his shirt sleeve up above his arm.)

GRISSOM:  I'm a PhD, not an M.D.

(BOBBY chuckles.  GRISSOM looks at the bite on BOBBY'S arm.)

GRISSOM:  (grimly)  Bobby ... this bite is not from an insect.

(BOBBY looks quizzically down at his arm, then back at GRISSOM.)

FADE TO BLACK.

(COMMERCIAL SET)



FADE IN.

SCENE #31:

[INT CSI - FORENSIC AUTOPSY]

(DR. JENNA WILLIAMS puts her instruments into the cleaning machine and closes 
the machine door.  GRISSOM walks into the room.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Hey.

GRISSOM:  Hi.  

(DR. WILLIAMS sits down at her desk.  GRISSOM leans against it.)

GRISSOM:  I found a bite mark on Bobby's arm and I think it might be human.

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Do you feel like sharing?

GRISSOM:  (shakes his head)  Not really.

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Just a little?

GRISSOM:  (sighs)  I don't know, Jenna.  This whole case is going from bad to 
worse.  I mean, usually it's a body, it's a specimen, but when it involves kids, 
I just can't ...

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Gruesome Grissom ... Tin Man with a heart ... (beat) ... 
who knew?

(WARRICK walks into the room.)

WARRICK:  Hey, guys.  This came back for the test on aluminum products from our 
kid in the desert.  (pauses)  Fireworks.

GRISSOM:  (whispers)  That's where Bobby Taylor works.  Jenna, I need a mold of 
Eric's teeth ...

CUT TO:



SCENE #32:

GRISSOM:  (v.o.) ... and an impression of Bobby's arm.

(With an OFFICER and a lawyer in the room, someone takes an impression on the 
bite mark on BOBBY'S arm.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #33:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM - DAY]

(CATHERINE and NICK re-interview both JULIA EASTMAN and KATE ARMSTRONG.)

CATHERINE:  Julia, make a fist for me with your right hand.  I mean, count it 
down like so, starting with your thumb first.  Five, four, three, two, one.

(JULIA stares at them for a moment, then complies.  She tries, but she can't 
bend her pinky finger.)

JULIA EASTMAN:  I sprained it, at tennis.  

(NICK reaches into his shirt pocket and pulls out a finger splint.  He tosses it 
on to the table.)

NICK:  It heals a lot faster when you wear one of these.

(Both JULIA and KATE stares at the item on the table.  CATHERINE takes out the 
shirt and puts it on the table.)

CATHERING:  Dean woods' shirt.

(She spreads the shirt out on the table.)

CATHERINE:  Now, remember we said blood tells us everything?  Well ... so does 
the absence of blood.

(CATHERINE takes the finger splint and puts it on.  She puts her hand over the 
void area on the shirt.  It fits in the white area on the shirt.)

KATE ARMSTRONG:  (gasps)  Oh, my god.

(Quick flashback to:  Inside Dean VERNON WOODS' office, KATE ARMSTRONG swings 
the rock and hits VERNON WOODS on the forehead.  He goes down.  She swings the 
rock back and splatters blood on JULIA EASTMAN.  She hits him again and again.  
Blood spatters everywhere with each successive blow.)

(When VERNON WOODS falls to the floor, JULIA EASTMAN puts her hand on his chest 
to keep him down.  KATE ARMSTRONG continues to hit him with the rock.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

NICK:  You held him down ... while she killed him.

CATHERINE:  All because the guy was handsy?  Seems a little severe.

(Neither woman says anything.)

DET. KANE:  We're going to be placing you under arrest for murder.  Is there 
anything you want to say?

(He turns around and opens the door. They remain silent.)

(Two male OFFICERS enter the room.  The two women stand up and we see that they 
were holding each other's hands under the table in a tight grip, neither one 
wanting to let the other go.)

(They look at each other.)

(The officers take out the handcuffs and put them on.)

OFFICER:  Ma'am ... put your hands behind your back, please.

(They lead the women out of the room.  CATHERINE watches them leave and shakes 
her head.)

CATHERINE:  (quietly)  No, no, this isn't over.

(They start putting their things away.)

NICK:  For all forensic purposes, it is over.  They're going to eat bread and 
bang a metal cup against some bars.  That's it.  It's over for us.

CATHERINE:  We still don't know why.

NICK:  It's not our job to know why.  It's our job to know how.  You heard 
Grissom.  The more the 'why', the less the 'how', the less the 'how', the more 
the 'why'.

(CATHERINE stands up and turns around to look at NICK.)

CATHERINE:  Hey, Nick.

NICK:  Yeah?

CATHERINE:  Grissom's not always right.  Do yourself a favor and think for 
yourself. I mean that as a friend, okay?  Okay, detective, we got some more 
homework to do.

(CATHERINE picks up the package and puts it on the table.)

SCENE #34:

[INT. CSI - GARAGE]

(SARA opens the door and leads RANDY GESEK into the garage.)

SARA:  What are you selling-- time-share coffins?

RANDY GESEK:  Uh, there's no such thing as a time-share coffin.

SARA:  Sure, there is.  Once the funeral is over, you dump the body and use the 
same casket over and over.

RANDY GESEK:  You can't prove that.

SARA:  Yes, I can.  This is a set of prints on the inside of the plastic 
sheeting we found in the dumpster.  What are the odds they belong to you?  

(RANDY GESEK steps forward, shaking his head.  He's busted.)

SARA:  All you had to do was put the bodies back in the grave and no one would 
have been the wiser.

RANDY GESEK:  You have no idea what a cut-throat business this is.  The chains 
are moving in.  I have payments to make.  I see the world from a completely 
different perspective than most people.

SARA:  Yeah, I know.  You see dead people.  So do I.  And when they turn up in 
dumpsters, I like to see they get back to where they belong.

RANDY GESEK:  I'll repay the money.

SARA:  Minimum.  Then, you're going to pay for Stephanie Reyes' family to have a 
real burial.

RANDY GESEK:  Okay.

SARA  At a respectable mortuary.

RANDY GESEK:  Okay.

SARA:  Then, we're going to let the D.A. run the table.

SCENE #35:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - HALLWAY - DAY]

(DET. KANE fills CATHERINE in on his findings.)

DET. KANE:  Did some homework on Kate 

CATHERINE:  Mm-hmm.

DET. KANE:  Financial records for the last year.

CATHERINE:  Great.

DET. KANE:  Personal checks from Kate Armstrong to Vernon Woods over the last 
year.

CATHERINE:  $5,000.  Another for $5,000.  $3,000.  "Memo: Loans."  I don't think 
so.  I think she was paying him off for something.

CUT TO:



SCENE #36:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM - DAY - CONTINUOUS]

(Inside the Interview room, DET. KANE presents his findings to KATE ARMSTRONG.)

KATE ARMSTRONG:  Did Julia say anything?

DET. KATE:  Like what?  The real reason you killed Woods?

[OBSERVATION ROOM]

(Inside the observation room, CATHERINE and NICK watch DET. KANE with KATE 
ARMSTRONG.)

CATHERINE:  This is where Gris and I differ.  Forensics is about more than 
science.  Human behavior.  The inconsistencies of human behavior.  Yes, "how" is 
crucially important, but so is "why."

[INTERVIEW ROOM]

(KATE turns to her lawyer and whispers something to her.  The LAWYER nods her 
head.  KATE looks at DET. KANE.)

KATE ARMSTRONG  Okay.  

(Quick flashback to:  Inside Dean VERNON WOODS' office, KATE and JULIA confront 
him.)

KATE ARMSTRONG:  I'm finished paying you.  We're going to live openly, honestly.

JULIE EASTMAN:  It's a new century.  Parents are "evolved".

VERNON WOODS:  Not where their children are concerned.  I'll tell everybody that 
I caught you two having sex on school grounds.

KATE ARMSTRONG:  That's a lie!
JULIA EASTMAN:  What?!

VERNON WOODS:  Of course it's a lie.  That didn't stop the McMartin school from 
closing down.  (The two women look at VERNON WOODS like he's scum.)  (He sighs.)  
Yeah, I think I'll make a call.

(He turns to get the phone on the counter.  JULIA turns to look at KATE.  KATE 
reaches for the rock on the desk.  She grabs it, rushes forward and hits him on 
the back of the head with it.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

KATE ARMSTRONG:  Julia and I would never have survived a rumor like that.  We 
panicked.  The school is our whole life.

(KATE starts to cry.)

[OBSERVATION ROOM]

NICK  Hmm. You got your "why."  Crime of passion.

CATHERINE:  (nods)  Bigger "why":  Why did it have to come down to this?

(Inside the interview room, the officer moves to get KATE ARMSTRONG.)

NICK:  I guess they didn't feel like they had a choice.

CATHERINE:  Maybe they didn't.

(Inside the room, everyone leaves.)

CATHERINE:  A lose-lose situation.

CUT TO:



SCENE #37:

[INT. CSI - BREAK ROOM - DAY]

(BRASS, WARRICK and GRISSOM talk with BOBBY TAYLOR and his LAWYER, CASSANNO.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  I'm telling you, I didn't kill Eric.

BRASS:  Can you remember your last hours with him Saturday night?

CASSANNO (LAWYER):  Don't answer that.

BOBBY:  I want to answer it.  I just ... I can't remember anything after we took 
that stuff.

GRISSOM:  It's not about memory now, Bobby.  It's about the evidence and the 
evidence ... sucks.

(Quick flashback to:  The night of the rave party.)

GRISSOM:  (v.o.)   You and Eric bought Jimson tea from Ethan that night.

ETHAN:  Enjoy, fellas!

(ETHAN gives them the jimsonweed tea.  He laughs.)

(Flash to white:  ERIC and BOBBY drink the tea.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Cheers, man.

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

WARRICK:  But you guys have never taken j-weed before so you weren't aware of 
the side effects of photophobia.

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Ph-photo what?

WARRICK:  Photophobia.  It's just a big word for lights freaking you out.  You 
guys were hallucinating and whatever Eric was seeing was scaring him, big-time.

(Quick flashback to:  Night of the rave party.  The two boys, high, are running 
deeper into the desert.  The bright lights from the cars and the vibrant colors 
are powerful.)

(ERIC runs over the hill and falls.  BOBBY runs after him.  They're both running 
from the bright lights of the cars.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

WARRICK:  The coroner states that Eric's dose shot his temperature through the 
roof.  He was boiling in his own skin.  So he stripped which is why we found him 
naked.

(Quick flashback to:  ERIC is running down the hillside and rips off his shirt..  
The cars with their bright lights and vibrant colors continue to follow them 
along the desert.  ERIC runs.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

BRASS:  We just don't know if it was an act of aggression or self-defense.

BOBBY TAYLOR:  I loved that guy.

GRISSOM:  That's why I tend to believe it was an act of self-protection.  The 
lights were scaring him.  At the same time, we conjecture that you were 
suffering auditory hallucinations.  Both of these symptoms are routine with this 
drug.

(Quick flashback to:  ERIC is running.  BOBBY is behind him, yelling at him.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Shut up!  Shut up!

(Whatever BOBBY'S hearing, it's incredibly loud and annoying.  He covers both 
ears with his hands.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Shut up! Shut up!
BOBBY TAYLOR:  Shut up! Shut up!

(BOBBY catches up with ERIC and grabs him from behind.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Shut up! Shut... shut up!

(He covers ERIC'S mouth ... trying to get him to shut up.  ERIC struggles, but 
BOBBY has him firmly in his grasp.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Shut up ...

(ERIC grabs at BOBBY'S hands trying to get free.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  (stunned)  I just ... I-I can't remember, honest.

CASSANNO (LAWYER):  You can "believe" and "conjecture" all you want.  None of 
this is based on fact.

GRISSOM:  I'm afraid that it is.  The evidence tells us that Bobby suffocated 
Eric.

WARRICK:  We found traces of aluminum trapped in Eric's nostrils that are 
consistent with what we found in your client's hands and arms earlier today from 
his job at the fireworks plant.

BOBBY TAYLOR:  I don't think I would do that.

GRISSOM:  I know, Bobby, but you did.

(GRISSOM reaches to the side and pulls out a small plastic container.  He opens 
it and takes out the mold.)

GRISSOM:  This is a mold of the bite mark that we took from your arm today.  

(He puts the mold down on the table and reaches into the plastic container.)

GRISSOM:  This is a mold of Eric's mouth, postmortem.

(GRISSOM puts the teeth over the bite mark.  It's a perfect match.)

(BOBBY stares at the evidence in front of him and silent tears course down his 
cheeks.)

(Quick flashback to:  ERIC struggles in BOBBY'S grasp.  BOBBY doesn't let ERIC 
go.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Shut up! Shut up!
BOBBY TAYLOR:  Shut up! Shut up!

(ERIC can't breath and slowly falls to the ground as he continues to struggle.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Shut up. Shut up.

(ERIC bites BOBBY'S arm.  BOBBY grunts in pain.  He grabs ERIC'S nose and mouth, 
covering them with his hand.)

BOBBY TAYLOR:  Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

(BOBBY stares out in front of him, crying.)

GRISSOM:  You overpowered him, he suffocated ... and then, finally, the noise 
stopped.

(The LAWYER shakes her head.)

CASSANNO (LAWYER):  I can tell you right now we're going to plead diminished 
capacity.

GRISSOM:  Good.  I hope you win.

BOBBY TAYLOR:  (shakes his head)  It doesn't matter.  

CASSANNO (LAWYER):  It's the difference between prison and a hospital, Bobby.  
It matters.

BOBBY TAYLOR:  You don't understand.  I don't care what happens to me.  I killed 
my best friend.

(He looks up at GRISSOM.  Their eyes meet.  GRISSOM'S eyes full of compassion 
for the young man.)

SCENE #38:

[EXT. CSI - FRONT ENTRANCE - PARKING LOT]

(Camera opens on the front sign:  LAS VEGAS POLICE DEPARTMENT / AREA COMMAND.  
GRISSOM and WARRICK sit side-by-side outside.)

(They watch as the OFFICERS exit the building and lead BOBBY TAYLOR outside in 
handcuffs.  They put him in their vehicle and drive off.)

(Unable to watch anymore, GRISSOM stands and leaves.)

WARRICK:  Where you going?

GRISSOM:  Away.

105 Amitiés criminelles

Titre Original: Friends & Lovers
Première diffusion: 3 novembre 2000
Scénario: Andrew Lipsitz
Réalisation: Lou Antonio

Avec : Judith Scott (Dr. Jenna Williams), Kelly Connell (Randy Gesek), David Berman (Docteur David Phillips)

Trois enquêtes sont au programme :

Un jeune homme nu est retrouvé mort dans le désert. Grissom et Warrick se chargent de cette affaire.
Le corps d’une femme nue, emballée dans un sac plastique est retrouvé dans une décharge. Sara est chargée de cette affaire.
Le doyen d’une école est tué par une jeune femme affirmant avoir agi en légitime défense. Catherine et Nick sont chargés de faire la lumière sur cette affaire.

Grissom et Warrick se rendent dans le désert afin d’élucider le cas dont ils ont la charge. Une fois arrivés sur place, ils manipulent minutieusement le corps de la victime. Tout indique que le jeune homme, nommé Eric, serait mort de peur. Seules les larves de diptères présentes sur le corps de la victime peuvent révéler ce qui a causé le décès du jeune homme. Les analyses pratiquées sur le corps indiquent que le jeune homme a consommé de la Jimsonweed, une mauvaise herbe aux vertus hallucinogènes.

Sara a du pain sur la planche avec le nouveau cadavre dont elle chargée. Elle découvre rapidement que la jeune femme n’a pas été assassinée, elle est simplement morte de cause naturelle. Elle a été emballée dans un sac plastique pour être ensuite enterrée dans la décharge. Les indices retrouvés sur place et sur le corps de la victime amènent Sara dans un centre funéraire, le Desert Haven Funeral. Une fois sur place, elle est bien décidée à résoudre cette macabre affaire.

Catherine et Nick, une fois arrivés sur la scène du crime à la Verban Day Charter School, constatent rapidement que cette affaire fleure bon le crime passionnel. Ils découvrent que le crâne de la victime a été pulvérisé à l’aide d’un objet lourd. Les murs de la pièce sont souillés par du sang, cela indique que le doyen a eu une mort violente. Kate Armstrong, la suspecte, plaide la légitime défense. En effet, elle s’est défendue lorsqu’il l’a agressée.

Grissom interroge Bobby, ami et dernière personne à avoir parlé à Eric Berckley, le jeune homme retrouvé mort dans le désert. Il admet avoir consommé, en compagnie d’Eric, des graines de Jimsonweed, tout en pensant que c’était sans risque, lors d’une rave organisée dans le désert. Il peut toutefois donner le signalement du dealer qui leur a vendu cette drogue. Warrick décide de s’infiltrer parmi les raveurs, lors de la prochaine rave, afin de l’interroger.

Les analyses du sang découvert sur les murs du bureau du doyen Wood indiquent qu’il y avait plus de deux personnes présentes dans la pièce au moment du meurtre. Julia Eastman est la personne manquante au puzzle. Il apparaît clairement que les deux jeunes femmes ont été la cible d’un harcèlement sexuel de la part du doyen. Lors de cet ultime entretien, Julia l’a frappé, suivie de Kate.

Grissom assiste à sa première rave où il n’est assurément pas dans son élément, particulièrement lorsqu’il est abordé par une charmante blonde qui n’hésite pas à lui faire sa déclaration. Warrick le sort de ce pétrin peu commun, et ils finissent par retrouver le dealer, nommé Ethan, qui a vendu de la drogue à Bobby et Eric. Grissom découvre de la drogue à l’intérieur du véhicule d’Ethan et Brass se charge de l’interpeller afin de procéder à son interrogatoire. Mais les analyses toxicologiques pratiquées sur les échantillons de Jimsonweed retrouvés dans la voiture du suspect indiquent que leur toxicité était bien trop faible pour entraîner le décès d’Eric. Innocenté, Ethan est donc libéré.

Sara découvre que les cercueils ont été occupés temporairement par plusieurs personnes, car elle a trouvé des fibres capillaires issues de plusieurs individus exposées sur un modèle d’exposition.

Lorsque Grissom informe Bobby de ses découvertes, il est bien entendu bouleversé et il commence à se gratter, invoquant une piqûre d’araignée. Mais Grissom n’est pas dupe, il a remarqué qu’il s’agissait en fait d’une morsure humaine.

Les jeunes filles de l’école se trouvent dans un profond désarroi dans la mesure où Nick et Catherine étudient chaque indice à la loupe et ils ont maintenant une idée précise du déroulement des faits. Julia tenait Woods pendant que Kate frappait son crâne à l’aide d’une pierre. Les empreintes de main de Julia présentes sur le corps de la victime, car elle avait une attelle sur un de ses doigts, prouve qu’elle était présente au moment des faits. Les deux filles finissent par avouer leur crime. Wood exerçait un chantage parce qu’il avait découvert qu’elles entretenaient une relation homosexuelle. Il les a menacées de révéler leur secret lorsqu’elles ont décidé de ne plus accepter son chantage.

Sara rend visite au directeur du centre funéraire. Il finit par lui expliquer qu’il déposait uniquement les corps, sans leurs cercueils, dans les tombes tout en affirmant que personne ne pouvait avoir connaissance de ses pratiques macabres et irrespectueuses. Cependant, lorsqu’il a enterré le corps emballé de Stéphanie Reyes, il a laissé ses empreintes. Sa négligence a donc permis à Sara de le confondre. Il admet rapidement qu’il travaille en étroite relation avec des criminels. Ensuite, il remboursait les obsèques tout en couvrant le prochain meurtre. Sara n’est pas très impressionnée et s’empresse de confier cette affaire au District Attorney.

Le moule de la dentition d’Eric correspond parfaitement à la blessure relevée sur le bras de Bobby. Le scénario de la mort d’Eric devient de plus en plus clair. Les jeunes hommes étaient sous l’emprise des graines hallucinogènes, puis Bobby a commencé à paniquer, et il étrangla Eric. Son avocat souhaite plaider la crise de folie, mais Bobby reconnaît qu’il était bien conscient lorsqu’il a tué son meilleur ami. La Police interpelle Bobby et l’emmène au commissariat. En soirée, Grissom se rend dans un parc d’attraction afin de s’adonner aux joies des montagnes russes afin de décompresser après une dure journée…


106 Du sang sur le parquet

Titre Original: Who Are You ?

Scénario: Carol Mendelsohn & Josh Berman
Réalisation: Danny Cannon

Pré-générique

Las Vegas – Quartier Résidentiel. Un plombier intervient au sous-sol d’une maison afin de déceler l’origine d’une fuite d’eau. Malheureusement pour lui, ce n’est pas une voie d’eau qu’il découvre, mais la partie d’un squelette coulé dans le béton.
Grissom arrive sur les lieux où Nick l’attend déjà. Ils décident de libérer le squelette de son linceul bétonné. La décomposition d’un cadavre dans du béton crée une poche de gaz étanche, il suffit de frapper à un endroit précis pour que le mur se brise facilement, facilitant alors l’extraction du cadavre.


Générique

Au laboratoire, Grissom distribue les différentes affaires qui occuperont son équipe. Il charge Sara et Warrick d’élucider les circonstances d’une mort par balle ayant eu lieu sur un parking.
Il aurait voulu confier un 426 (affaire de viol) à Catherine mais il doit y renoncer à cause d’un conflit d’intérêt. En effet, une danseuse exotique aurait été violée par un certain Eddie Willows, l’ex mari de Catherine en l’occurrence ! Ce dernier a d’ailleurs demandé à ce que l’affaire soit confiée à Catherine, or Grissom s’est opposé. Cependant, Catherine parvient à le convaincre et se chargera alors de l’enquête préliminaire pour ensuite passer le dossier à une autre personne.

Catherine se rend à la salle d’interrogatoire où l’attend Eddie. Avant de le rejoindre, elle l’observe attentivement derrière la vitre teintée donnant sur la salle où elle le rejoint. Tout en confirmant le rapport sexuel sur le parking attenant à la boite de strip-tease, il nie les faits qui lui sont reprochés en attestant que la victime était consentante. Or le rapport de police affirme le contraire. Catherine lui demande alors des nouvelles de sa compagne du moment, Mélanie, à qui elle pourrait révéler cette histoire scabreuse afin de le gêner davantage mais ce dernier affirme qu’ils sont maintenant séparés. Visiblement nerveuse, Catherine lui indique qu’elle ne peut pas l’aider et que son cas relève de la compétence des spécialistes en délinquance sexuelle. Or, pour tenter de la convaincre de lui venir en aide, il évoque le sort de Lindsay qui pourrait être, selon lui, indisposée par la perspective de venir rendre visite à son papa à la prison du comté.

Salle d’autopsie du Laboratoire. Grissom étudie le squelette retrouvé dans les fondations de la maison, en compagnie de Nick. Gil parvient à l’identifier comme étant celui d’une femme d’après la forme des hanches. L’inspection de restes du squelette indique que la victime aurait été préalablement tuée avant d’être coulée dans du béton. Quant aux circonstances du décès, au premier abord, d’après les entailles visibles au niveau des côtes, il semblerait qu’elle aurait été poignardée une douzaine de fois, à l’aide d’une arme peu banale légèrement incurvée avec un bord dentelé. D’après le type d’attaque, la victime connaissait son meurtrier.

Sara et Warrick rejoignent Brass, alors accompagné de Tyner, l’agent de police ayant abattu un suspect, sur le parking de la mort par balle. Il fait part de sa version des faits. Il a réagi à des coups de feu et le suspect a pris la fuite. Il l’a alors poursuivi en voiture jusqu’au parking où le suspect s’est arrêté. Il s’est alors approché de son véhicule et a constaté que le suspect, très nerveux, tenait une arme à feu. Ne souhaitant pas retourner en prison en cas d’arrestation, il a préféré se donner la mort, laissant alors son arme dans sa voiture. Afin de respecter les procédures habituelles liées à ce genre de cas, Warrick demande alors l’arme du policier. Pendant ce temps, Sara en profite pour récupérer l’arme du suspect dans le véhicule ; quant à Warrick, il souhaite qu’un périmètre de sécurité soit installé sur le lieu de l’incident, ce qui pose visiblement problème à Brass qui voit alors d’un très mauvais œil la volonté affichée de Warrick de faire la lumière sur cette affaire.

Salle d’autopsie du Laboratoire. Grissom étudie de près la chape de béton (dimension : 2x1) entourant le squelette, sur laquelle l’empreinte partielle du corps de la victime s’est progressivement imprimée durant le processus de décomposition. Nick lui donne des précisions sur la maison. Le permis de construire de cette maison construite à Summer Creek (où le sol est désertique, ce qui explique l’état de dessèchement du corps) date d’il y a cinq ans. La maison a été vendue après sa construction, ce qui indique que l’ancien propriétaire n’était pas au courant de la présence du cadavre. Il l’informe aussi qu’il a effectué des vérifications sur la liste des personnes portées disparues.

Au Laboratoire. Sara rejoint Warrick. Ensemble, ils s’interrogent sur les réelles circonstances de l’incident et se posent des questions sur le rôle joué par l’agent de Police Tyner. Il a d’ailleurs constaté qu’il manque une balle dans le chargeur de l’arme de service du policier, ce qui n’est pas réglementaire. Les deux armes confisquées, celles du suspect et du policier, sont identiques. Ce sont des automatiques 9 mm. Ces premières constatations ne risquent pas de plaire à Brass et ils s’attendent à un véritable bras de fer avec le service de Police Criminelle.
Grissom, alors en train de s’amuser avec une tarentule, est rejoint dans son bureau par Terri Miller, la meilleure spécialiste en anthropologie médico-légale d’Amérique du Nord. Il lui demande son aide pour reconstituer un visage.

Salle d’interrogatoire. Sara et Warrick questionnent le policier. Il nie de suite avoir abattu l’homme. Ils lui signalent alors qu’il manquait une balle dans le chargeur de son arme. Il s’explique en affirmant qu’il ne complète jamais son chargeur car la 14eme balle peut faire pression sur le ressort est ainsi enrayer l’arme. Ils lui demandent aussi si des témoins peuvent confirmer sa version des faits. Il s’énerve et à ce moment là, Brass intervient dans la salle, en prétextant être le délégué syndical du policier en question. Warrick lui indique qu’il manque une balle dans le chargeur de son protégé, Brass les charge alors de retrouver la balle manquante qu’il aurait tiré, projectile à tête arrondie, afin de mettre un terme à cette affaire envenimée. Sara évoque ensuite le dossier chargé de Tyner, ce dernier comportant cinq plaintes, trois déposées par des citoyens pour usage abusif de la force et deux ayant débouché sur des enquêtes de l’inspection générale qui l’a alors blanchi. Le ton de la conversation monte et Brass tente de le calmer. Afin de faire définitivement la lumière sur cette affaire, il est nécessaire de retrouver la balle manquante, d’où l’intérêt d’avoir sécurisé la scène de crime à l’aide d’un périmètre de sécurité, comme l’avait demandé Warrick au début de l’enquête.

Salle d’autopsie du Laboratoire. Grissom se trouve en compagnie de Terri Miller qui s’apprête alors à réaliser un moulage des empreintes du visage de la victime, imprimé dans la chape de béton. D’après la forme du visage, il semblerait que la jeune femme a un faciès typiquement nordique, ce qui amènerait à dire qu’il y ait de fortes chances que ce soit une blonde aux yeux plutôt marron (car couleur couramment répandue chez ce groupe ethnique). Une fois le visage reconstitué grâce aux prouesses de Terri, Grissom prend plusieurs clichés photographiques. Il les transmet aussitôt aux médias afin qu’ils puissent diffuser le signalement de la mystérieuse victime. Catherine, pendant ce temps rejoint Grissom et Nick au laboratoire, afin de pouvoir s’entretenir en privé avec son chef à propos de l’affaire de viol dans laquelle son ex mari est accusé. Nick les laisse alors en privé. Catherine transmet alors ses premières impressions sur l’enquête tout en reconnaissant qu’elle est relativement mal à l’aise dans cette affaire, étant étroitement liée au suspect. Grissom lui demande alors de confier le dossier à Warrick.

Salle d’autopsie. Grissom rejoint le docteur Robbins, qui l’a fait mander. Il lui indique qu’il a repéré une entaillure à l’arrière du crâne du squelette, ce qui montre que la victime a reçu un coup violent, porté à l’aide d’un objet lourd. Il lui indique également qu’il a retrouvé du sodium sur les os de l’oreille interne ainsi qu’un bouchon de cérumen contenant des grains de sable. A la lumière de ces découvertes (sel et sable), la victime aurait-elle été abattue sur une plage ?
Nick apprend à Grissom que la diffusion du portrait robot réalisé à partir des empreintes laissées dans la chape de béton a porté ses fruits, la jeune fille ayant été identifiée par au moins cinq personnes dont sa mère. La victime s’appelait Faye Green.
Grissom se rend alors chez la famille Green afin d’obtenir des informations complémentaires sur la vie de la victime. Il y rencontre alors sa mère et lui pose une série de questions. Elle lui apprend qu’elle faisait de la plongée et qu’elle venait à peine d’obtenir son brevet. Elle lui indique également qu’elle avait emménagé avec son petit ami, un certain Jason Adler, qui habite encore sur place, à Medley Peace. La police l’a interrogé à plusieurs reprises. Elle affirme d’ailleurs qu’elle croit en son innocence parce qu’il aimait vraiment sa fille avec laquelle il ne se disputait jamais.

Pendant ce temps, l’inspecteur Evans procède à l’interrogatoire de la danseuse exotique victime du viol. Elle lui indique qu’elle a passé une partie de la soirée avec le suspect, puis ils se sont rendus sur le parking où il se serait montré plus entreprenant. Catherine prend alors le relais, rassurant Evans quant à sa capacité à mener l’enquête. Elle constate rapidement la présence de bleus sur les avant bras de la victime, celle-ci affirmant que le suspect l’aurait plaquée contre un mur. Elle effectue également un prélèvement sous les ongles de la victime afin de récupérer d’éventuels échantillons de peau appartenant à l’agresseur pour prouver qu’il y a bien eu lutte. La victime se demande alors pourquoi les enquêteurs ne se contentent pas des prélèvements vaginaux préalablement effectués.

Parking – Scène de Crime – Mort par balle. Warrick et Sara scrute la scène à la recherche de la balle manquante, sans succès. Or ils sont aussitôt rejoints par un jeune homme qui prétend avoir assisté à l’incident la veille. Il relate alors ce qu’il a vu. Le policier s’est approché du véhicule de la victime, visiblement très nerveuse et lui aurait subitement tiré dessus sans sommation… Cette affaire sent le roussi pour nos deux experts qui risquent d’être directement confrontés aux intérêts et à la solidarité de la Police Criminelle !

Vestiaire du Laboratoire. Warrick est rejoint par Grissom qui lui pose des questions pièges afin de vérifier si Catherine lui a bien confié son affaire. Il finit par découvrir que ce n’est pas le cas et il s’énerve… Catherine arrive à temps pour s’expliquer. Elle a décidé de mener cette enquête afin de préserver sa fille Lindsay et prétend prendre toutes les précautions possibles En effet, si elle se trouve en contact direct avec les preuves, cela invaliderait les conclusions de l’investigation, puisqu’elle a un lien intime avec le suspect, ce que ne manque pas de lui rappeler Grissom.
Selon ses premières découvertes, les traces de contusion ainsi que les fragments de peau appartenant visiblement au suspect, Eddie se trouve dans une situation délicate. L’enquête tend alors vers une confrontation entre les deux versions des protagonistes de cette affaire, seules les preuves feront la lumière sur cette sombre histoire.

Laboratoire. Greg étudie au microscope les grains de sable retrouvés dans l’oreille du squelette. Il constate alors que ce sable n’a rien de naturel (le fragment serait lisse si c’était vraiment du sable). L’étude des composants minéraux de ce sable indique la présence de feldspath et de quartz, deux éléments essentiels du grés. Ce sable provient alors de gré concassé.

Couloir du Laboratoire. Sara et Warrick croisent Brass qui est visiblement agacé par le tournant que prend l’enquête. Brass les intimide tout en arguant que Warrick essaie de se venger d’un passé relativement récent. Puis Tyner arrive, visiblement échaudé et leur reproche de n’être que des scientifiques, pas très conscients des réalités du terrain. Le ton monde et c’est le début d’une altercation entre Tyner et Warrick ! Heureusement, Nick et Grissom interviennent pour les séparer. Il leur est donc indispensable de retrouver la fameuse balle manquante…

Catherine, dînant dans un restaurant reçoit une visite surprise, celle de son ex mari Eddie, alors libéré sous caution. Il la remercie pour ce qu’elle fait pour prouver son innocence.

Laboratoire – Garage. Sara et Warrick inspectent le véhicule de la victime de fond en comble afin de trouver la balle. Ils démontent alors la jeep entièrement sans succès. Warrick décide alors de jeter son dévolu sur le pneu de secours. Son inspiration est la bonne ! Une balle y est bien logée. Il leur suffira de comparer cette balle avec celles de l’arme de Tyner. L’observation au microscope corrobore leur constatation. La balle correspond bien à celles de l’arme du policier. Or un technicien leur apprend que cette arme appartient en fait à la victime…

Catherine et l’inspecteur Evans se rendent à la boite de strip tease, se situant à proximité du lieu où aurait eu lieu le viol. Catherine navigue en terrain connu puisqu’elle était, dans le temps, une danseuse exotique travaillant pour le compte du gérant de la boite, Ted, qu’elle connaît alors très bien. Catherine inspecte le vestiaire de la victime et découvre une boite de pilules contraceptives vaginales.

Quant à Nick et Grissom, ils se rendent au domicile de Jason Adler afin de lui poser quelques questions au sujet de son ex compagne, Faye Green. Ils lui demandent si ils peuvent entrer, Jason lui affirme qu’il n’y voit aucun inconvénient. Au cours de son inspection, Grissom remarque la présence d’un aquarium dans le séjour. En marchant, ils découvrent aussi qu’une des lattes du parquet a du jeu, ce qui leur parait suspect. Grissom lui demande alors si son aquarium se trouvait à cet endroit à un moment donné. Grissom décide alors de découvrir ce qui se cache sous la latte, tout en demandant l’aval du propriétaire… Quelle est sa surprise lorsqu’il y trouve du sable ! L’aquarium se trouvait alors à cet endroit ! Ce constat gêne visiblement Jason qui leur demande alors de partir ! Grissom promet de revenir, la prochaine fois, muni d’une commission rogatoire…

Au laboratoire, Catherine demande à Greg les résultats des analyses concernant l’affaire de viol. Il a décelé des traces d’inoxinol 9 (alcool) et de glycérine qui provient, après test, d’un des films contraceptifs découverts dans le vestiaire de la danseuse. Ce film se dissout à l’intérieur du corps à cause de la chaleur produite. Ce moyen contraceptif doit être inséré de quinze minutes à trois heures avant le rapport sexuel. Or d’après le résultat des analyses, elle l’aurait inséré pendant ses heures de travail… Une question taraude alors l’esprit de nos experts. Pourquoi la victime aurait-elle inséré ce produit contraceptif juste avant d’être violée ?

Dans les couloirs du Laboratoire, Nick indique à Grissom que Jason Adler était employé pour le compte d’une entreprise sous traitante, il y a cinq ans sur le lotissement de construction de Summer Field. En même temps, ils croisent Terry dont le travail est désormais terminé…

Dans le garage. Warrick et Sara procèdent à la reconstitution des faits en fonction de la trajectoire de la balle et de l’endroit présumé où était placé l’agent, survenus sur le parking devant le capitaine Brass. Leurs conclusions sont sans appel. Tyner est innocent car les lois de la physique l’emportent sur les témoignages oculaires. Affaire classée !

Catherine rencontre à nouveau la danseuse exotique et lui demande pourquoi elle a simulé un viol pour faire plonger Eddie. Elle lui affirme alors qu’elle était blasée par ses mensonges multiples. Pour se venger, elle a alors mis sur pied cette histoire de viol, question de toucher le jackpot avec l’argent que lui aurait versé Eddie afin de ne pas être poursuivi. Catherine lui révèle alors qu’Eddie est un sans le sou et qu’elle n’aurait rien obtenu de lui… Affaire classée !

Grissom et Nick se rendent à nouveau chez les Adler, cette fois munis d’une commission rogatoire afin de fouiller minutieusement la maison. Ils constatent de visu que la maison a été nettoyée depuis leur précédent passage (il n’y a plus de sable sous la latte de parquet). Ils décident alors de rechercher d’éventuelles traces de sang grâce aux différents révélateurs dont ils disposent. Le luminol ne donnant pas les résultats escomptés, ils décident de s’en remettre à la lumière alternative dont l’écho peut traverser n’importe quelle couche de peinture et de vernis (d’ailleurs ils remarquent la présence de plusieurs couches de vernis sur le parquet…). Cela se révèle concluant ! Les tâches de sang apparaissent alors !
Grissom tente alors de reconstituer les faits qui se sont produits la nuit de la disparition de Faye. Jason se serait disputé violemment avec elle, suite à une bousculade elle aurait percuté avec sa tête l’aquarium qui se trouvait alors à son ancien emplacement. Sonnée, elle aurait tenté de s’enfuir et il l’aurait définitivement achevée… à l’aide d’un objet contondant peu banal. Cependant Jason nie les faits ! Grissom poursuit son récit. Il l’aurait ensuite emporté son corps sur le chantier de Summer Field afin de la couler dans du béton pour la faire disparaître définitivement. Il continue de nier les faits tout en affirmant qu’il l’aimait et qu’il l’aime toujours, ce qui a pour effet d’indisposer sa femme Emmy.
Grissom charge alors Nick d’inspecter minutieusement la maison pendant qu’il s’occupe d’avertir la Police Criminelle afin de procéder à l’arrestation de Jason pour le meurtre de Faye Green.
Un des cadres du séjour attire l’attention de Nick. Il y voit Jason muni d’un piolet et pense de suite qu’il pourrait s’agir de l’arme du crime. Malheureusement pour lui, Emmy visiblement très perturbée le menace avec une arme !
A l’extérieur, Grissom accompagne Jason, enserré par deux policiers, qui continue de clamer son innocence. Une de ses répliques attire l’attention de Grissom. En effet, il affirme que sa femme Emmy vernissait le parquet tous les ans. Il comprend alors qu’il s’est trompé de coupable et s’empresse vite de rejoindre Nick dans la demeure.
Pendant ce temps, Emmy le menace toujours avec son arme et finit par lui avouer ce qu’elle a fait la nuit de la disparition de Faye. Suite à une violente dispute, elle l’a tuée froidement pour se venger parce que Jason l’avait quittée pour Faye. C’est donc un crime passionnel. Nick est terrorisé et lui demande de déposer son arme, ce qu’elle refuse de faire… Heureusement Grissom intervient à temps pour tirer Nick de ce mauvais pétrin. Elle dépose alors son arme… Nick sort très bouleversé de cette expérience.

Au parc, Eddie rejoint Catherine et Lindsay. Il tient à la remercier pour ce qu’elle a fait pour lui en l’invitant à déjeuner. Mais elle décline son invitation. Elle ne veut pas parler de ce qui c’est passé entre eux tout en affirmant avoir une nouvelle vie…


107 Petits meutres en famille

Titre Original: Blood Drops
Première diffusion: 17 novembre 2000
Scénario: Andrew Lipsitz d'après une histoire de Tish McCarthy
Réalisation: Kenneth Fink

Casting : Skip O'Brien (Sgt O'Riley), Gerald McCullough (Bobby Dawson), Madison McReynolds (Lindsay Willows), Dakota Fanning (Brenda Collins), Aasif Mandvi (Dr.Leever)

Pré-générique

La quiétude d’un quartier de la banlieue de Las Vegas est soudainement troublée par les cris effroyables d’une jeune fille, sortant de sa maison, lieu de trépas de quatre membres de sa famille.
Grissom arrive sur place, où l’attend déjà le Sergent O’Riley qui lui signale alors que le bilan du massacre est toujours aussi lourd : le père, la mère ainsi que les deux frères ont été sauvagement assassinés, seules les deux jeunes filles de la famille ont été épargnées. Selon O’Riley, elles n’ont pas pu commettre les meurtres du fait de leur gabarit. La nature du massacre est tellement insoutenable que les agents de la Police en sont très perturbés…

Générique

Grissom décide de pénétrer à l’intérieur de la maison, la scène de crime, en compagnie d’un agent de la Police Criminelle qu’il charge de prendre des notes, afin de dresser un premier état des lieux. Il le défend d’ailleurs de toucher à quoique ce soit et lui demande d’enfiler une paire de gants. Grissom établit alors ses premières constatations : il y a une forte odeur de cuivre, ce qui indique qu’il y a beaucoup de sang, il conseille alors son accompagnateur de respirer par la bouche. Ils montent à l’étage et découvrent le premier cadavre gisant sur le sol dans le couloir. Il s’agit de la dépouille du père, homme de race blanche, la quarantaine, étendu dans une mare de sang ; il n’y a pas de traînées sur le sol le corps n’a donc pas été déplacé, Grissom constate des traces de coups de couteau multiples dans le dos et également au cou donnés par une lame à un seul tranchant au premier abord. L’arme a sectionné les veines jugulaires internes droite et gauche. L’agent ne se sentant pas très bien, il est aussitôt relayé par Sara alors venue en renfort, qui constate la présence d’un dessin sanglant sur le mur et pense qu’il s’agit peut être d’un rite satanique.
Leur visite d’inspection les mène dans la chambre des parents où gît le corps inanimé de la mère, morte après avoir reçu un seul coup de couteau au niveau de la gorge. Ils ne constatent aucune blessure de défense, donc elle serait morte durant son sommeil. Sara prend alors de clichés alors que Grissom poursuit sa visite d’inspection durant laquelle il remarque la présence de gouttes de sang à proximité du cadavre du père. Il constate qu’il n’y a pas de cadavre dans la chambre de Brenda, ce qui n’est pas le cas dans la chambre des deux frères. Le cadavre du premier gît sur le lit, visiblement tué durant son sommeil comme sa mère, et le corps de l’autre se trouve dans le dressing à proximité d’un autre dessin sanglant en forme de cercle concentrique.

Grissom sort de la demeure et demande à O’Riley de rappeler toute l’équipe de secours qui se trouvait à l’intérieur avant qu’il intervienne. Il demande également à un agent d’appeler son équipe de nuit afin qu’ils travaille de concert sur cette affaire prioritaire. Sara est aussi chargée d’étudier minutieusement les clichés qu’elle a pris. Pendant ce temps, les médias ont afflué sur place et commentent ce massacre particulièrement violent…
Grissom interroge Tina, l’aînée qui a donné l’alerte visiblement très choquée et demandant à voir sa petite sœur et aussi sa petite sœur Brenda, qui reste dans son silence pendant qu’il lui pose des questions. Au moment de la quitter, cette dernière lui dit que le « bison est venu », ce qui interpelle Grissom qui cherche alors a en savoir plus, sans résultat.

Il rejoint ensuite Catherine, Warrick et Nick devant la maison et leur donne ses instructions : ils ne doivent interroger personne et ne rien dire au sheriff. Il leur indique aussi que l’assassin était encore présent il y a deux heures de cela et qu’il a laissé des traces sur son passage.
Catherine est chargé de prendre dans la maison des plans et des échantillons sanguins.
Nick et Warrick sont chargés de fouiller le périmètre à la recherche d’indices sur le parcours du tueur. Quant à Grissom, il inspecte la cuisine à la recherche d’indices. Il est aussitôt rejoint par O’Riley, qu’il a appelé. Il remarque qu’un seul des tiroirs du buffet, contenant des couteaux de cuisine, est ouvert et constate qu’il en manque un. C’est le seul tiroir ouvert, donc le tueur a voulu aller droit au but, ce qui indique qu’il connaissait l’emplacement des couteaux dans la cuisine. Grissom inspecte ensuite le revêtement du sol de la cuisine à l’aide d’une source lumineuse à variation grâce à laquelle il repère une série de traces qu’il entend bien exploiter à l’aide de son révélateur d’empreintes électrostatique chargé, dans ce cas précis de récolter les poussières des semelles afin de dresser un modèle de la chaussure du meurtrier.

Grissom interroge ensuite les agents qui sont initialement arrivés sur place. Il leur demande où ils ont marché quand ils se trouvaient à l’intérieur et ce qu’ils ont touché. Ils affirment avoir pénétré dans la maison par l’entrée principale et être montés à l’étage. Il demande aussi à voir la semelle de leur chaussure afin de faire une comparaison avec l’empreinte de pas retrouvée dans la cuisine. Grissom découvre alors qu’il s’agit de l’empreinte des chaussures des premiers agents arrivés sur place qui sont finalement allé dans la cuisine sans prendre de précautions… Interrogé par les médias, Grissom élude la plupart de leurs questions. Le sheriff vient prendre des nouvelles de la situation, sans succès, puisque Grissom ne lui fournit aucune information exploitable. Le sheriff se charge alors de parler à la presse et leur dit que la police a la situation bien en main. Grissom charge Sara de s’occuper de Brenda qui devra la conduire à l’hôpital afin de subir quelques examens routiniers, ce qui la déçoit fortement, elle qui souhaitait faire partie intégrante des investigations dans la maison.

Les investigations peuvent alors se poursuivre. Warrick se trouve dans le jardin où il se charge de relever des empreintes et de trouver différents indices. Il remarque ainsi la présence d’une trace de pneu, profondément marquée dans la terre. Quant à Nick, il prend divers clichés des endroits clés de la demeure. Catherine prélève des échantillons sanguins à l’intérieur de la maison aux endroits où gisaient les différents cadavres. Warrick prend également des clichés de la trace de pneu qu’il a repérée dans le jardin et Nick découvre le mégot d’un cigare, dont il prend des clichés et qu’il prélève, dans un des massifs du jardin. Ce n’est pas sa seule découverte. Sur une dalle de l’allée menant à la maison, il repère également un morceau d’allumette qu’il récolte.
Grissom donne des instructions précises aux coroners venus récupérer les différents cadavres qui seront alors conduits à la morgue. Il leur demande de conserver tous leurs effets personnels (vêtements, bijoux, etc.).
Catherine indique à Grissom qu’elle a envoyé les échantillons de sang au laboratoire pour qu’ils soient analysés. Ils s’interrogent sur la nature du meurtre, en se demandant s’il s’agit bien d’un massacre rituel (d’après les différents dessins sanglants retrouvés sur les murs). Pour Catherine, il s’agirait d’une pale imitation du massacre perpétré par Charles Manson. Grissom émet une théorie au sujet du déroulement du massacre : la mère serait la première victime, tuée pendant son sommeil, le bruit aurait réveillé le mari qui serait alors sorti de la chambre afin de se rendre dans celle de ses enfants afin de les protéger, malheureusement pour lui, le tueur qui l’attendait, un couteau entre les mains, lui porta plusieurs coups de couteau, le premier sur le pas de la porte de la chambre et le dernier au bout du couloir pour l’achever. Or il n’y a pas assez de sang entre le premier point d’impact et l’emplacement du cadavre, ce qui constitue une zone d’ombre à élucider.
Ils décident de procéder par élimination et suspectent rapidement Tina, la grande sœur, premier témoin du massacre, qui aurait agi de concert avec son petit ami, qui serait alors le bison, pour organiser la tuerie.

Au département de Police, alors que Brenda s’occupe en dessinant, Sara se plaint auprès de Brass du rôle qui lui a été attribué dans cette affaire (elle est chargée de s’occuper de Brenda). Elle doit l’emmener à l’hôpital où l’attend une assistance sociale pour qu’elle subisse une série d’examens physiques et psychologiques. Sara s’approche alors de la petite fille qui réagit violemment en raturant le dessin qu’elle était en train de réaliser.
Grissom et Brass procèdent aussi à l’interrogatoire de Tina et lui posent les questions d’usage. Elle affirme avoir entendu des bruits de pas provenant de la cuisine et s’être cachée en conséquence dans la penderie. Elle leur indique aussi que ses parents n’avaient pas vraiment l’habitude de tout verrouiller la nuit et que son père faisait le tour de la maison chaque soir. Grissom lui demande aussi si elle a un petit ami, ce dont à quoi elle répond qu’elle en a plusieurs, mais aucun d’attitré… Aussi lui demande t-il si l’un d’entre eux est surnommé le bison. Sa réaction à l’évocation de ce surnom intrigue Grissom. Un détail interpelle Brass. Il se demande pourquoi elle a eu peur spécialement cette nuit là. Elle affirme qu’elle n’a pas reconnu les bruits de pas provenant de la cuisine, ce qui l’a effrayée.

Nick et Warrick étudient la trace de pneu située dans le jardin. Warrick se prépare d’ailleurs à réaliser un moulage de cette marque. Cette trace est fraîche puisque le système d’arrosage automatique se met en marche chaque nuit à 2h00 du matin alors que les meurtres ont été commis aux alentours de 2h40. Le suspect est sorti de la maison, a enfourché une moto légère, jeté son mégot de Bindy (marque de cigarette indienne fortement prisée par les jeunes) et a traversé le gazon, laissant alors une trace de son passage. Ce qui les amène à penser que le meurtrier pourrait être un adolescent, alors habitué à prendre des raccourcis…

A l’hôpital, le médecin ayant examiné Brenda rejoint Sara et l’assistante sociale dans la salle d’attente. Il lui indique qu’il souhaite procéder à des examens complémentaires psychologiques qui seront réalisés par un psychiatre, sur la petite fille. Sara est surprise et demande quelques explications à la représentante des services sociaux qui veut alors prendre la relève. Or Sara insiste pour rester auprès de Brenda afin d’être présente en cas de découverte d’un élément qui pourrait faire progresser l’enquête.

Quant à Catherine, elle analyse minutieusement les différentes projections et marques sanguines à l’intérieur de la maison. Elle place des écriteaux numérotés aux endroits où se trouvent les différentes traces, tout en prenant des clichés. Son but : dresser un plan exact où figure l’emplacement de chaque marque et déterminer les différentes trajectoires sanguines afin de mettre en évidence le parcours du meurtrier. Plongée dans son travail, elle en oublie même de récupérer Lindsay à l’école !

Au laboratoire, Warrick rejoint Grissom, alors en train d’inspecter à la loupe la chemise de nuit de Tina. Il lui fait part de ses découvertes au sujet de la trace de pneu découverte dans le jardin. Il s’agit d’une trace laissée par un scooter (année 1993) ; après quelques recoupements, il découvre qu’un adolescent vivant à proximité de la scène de crime a le même modèle.
Grissom est surpris de ne voir apparaître aucune trace de sang sur le vêtement qu’il analyse. (En effet, lorsqu’une personne découvre le corps d’un membre de sa famille, elle se jette dessus afin de voir si elle est toujours en vie, ce qui a pour effet de maculer de sang ses vêtements). La réaction de Tina lors de la découverte des cadavres (qu’elle n’a sans doute pas approché suffisamment pour tâcher sa veste) intrigue donc Grissom qui se demande alors ce qui s’est réellement produit.

Catherine rentre rapidement chez elle et découvre sa fille en compagnie de son ex mari Eddie, qui s’est alors chargé de la récupérer à la salle de danse. Catherine visiblement gênée lui explique sa défaillance, Eddie lui répond que cela n’est pas grave et qu’il comprend, ce dernier étant alors au courant de l’affaire sur laquelle travaille Catherine. Mais son bipper sonne… C’est Grissom qu’elle appelle aussitôt. Il lui demande de revenir rapidement au labo parce qu’il a de nouveaux éléments à lui soumettre.

Au labo, Grissom croise Ekley qui lui rappelle que le shérif veut des résultats. La compétition entre l’équipe de nuit et l’équipe de jour est au centre des débats…
Brass et Warrick interrogent Oliver, le propriétaire du scooter à l’origine des traces de pneu dans le jardin. Il affirme qu’il ne se trouvait pas dans le quartier au moment des faits, mais plutôt à Hoover chez son père, et qu’il ignorait que la famille de Tina avait été tuée. Il leur indique également que Tina multipliait les conquêtes masculines. Ce dernier leur révèle que le scooter est une propriété collégiale dans la mesure où il partage son utilisation avec ses amis qui ont investi dans l’achat de celui-ci.
Grâce aux traces de pneu, l’équipe tient quatre suspects mais il y a d’autres éléments intéressants à exploiter : la veste de Tina ne comporte aucune trace de sang, des analyses ADN de la cigarette Bidy et de l’allumette sont en cours sachant qu’aucun membre de la famille n’en fumait (d’après Tina) et les examens psychiatriques réalisés sur Brenda indiquent qu’elle est en état de choc dû au traumatisme – elle a d’ailleurs réagi à l’évocation du mot bison
Catherine interroge à son tour Tina sur l’absence de sang sur les vêtements qu’elle portait au moment des faits. Dans sa déposition, elle déclare avoir serré sa mère dans ses bras avant de trébucher sur la dépouille de son père dans le couloir, or cela aurait du laisser des traces visibles sur ses vêtements. Elle corrige alors sa déclaration. Elle prétend avoir vu ses parents morts puis être sortie rapidement de la demeure afin d’aller chercher du secours. Grissom évoque alors les indices qui lui rapportent une autre histoire…

Ensuite Brass et Nick procèdent à l’interrogatoire des trois autres suspects. Le premier indique qu’il a couché avec Tina mais qu’il était interdit de sortie depuis une semaine et nie avoir tué sa famille, le second déclare qu’il campait au moment des faits et le dernier nommé Jess Overtam, visiblement nerveux reconnaît avoir eu des rapports sexuels avec Tina et demande aussitôt un avocat. Nick reste avec lui au cas où il lui fournirait des indications sur l’emplacement du scooter. Excédé, le suspect sort de la poche de sa chemine un paquet de Bindy, ce qui interpelle Nick qui fait alors le rapprochement avec la cigarette retrouvée sur les lieux du crime. Il récupère le paquet ainsi que son boîtier d’allumette, sur lesquels il pourra effectuer des analyses et des tests de comparaison.

Brass rejoint Grissom pour lui donner les conclusions de l’interrogatoire. L’attention se porte dorénavant sur Jess, un des utilisateurs du scooter, ce qui fait réagir Tina, alors présente dans la pièce. Brass envisage de demander une commission rogatoire afin de fouiller chez lui. Tina demande à voir sa sœur mais Grissom n’accède pas à sa requête car elle ne se trouve pas dans les locaux de la police mais à l’hôpital où elle a subi des examens montrant qu’elle est en état de choc. Catherine lui demande alors ce qu’il s’est réellement passé. Brenda a-t-elle vu le petit ami de sa sœur tuer les membres de sa famille ?

Nick vérifie si le morceau d’allumette qu’il a découvert dans l’allée est bien issu du boîtier qu’il a emprunté à Jess, le morceau d’allumette s’y emboîte parfaitement, le test de comparaison se révèle alors concluant, Warrick confirme alors sa découverte. Nick tient la résolution de l’enquête et l’élément suffisant pour confondre le meurtrier !

Grissom, accompagné par Brass, fouille le garage de Jess, et découvre fortuitement la roue du scooter ainsi qu’un pantalon maculé de sang dans une poubelle… (Commentaire personnel : il faut vraiment être stupide pour laisser de telles preuves à son domicile !)
La culpabilité de Jess ne fait plus aucun doute ! Il passe alors au détecteur de mensonge, qui se révèle concluant (il indique qu’il a agi de concert avec Tina qui lui a alors demandé de tuer sa famille) sauf pour l’avant dernière question concernant le mobile du meurtre (a-t-il commis le meurtre afin de voir librement Tina ? il répond OUI alors que le détecteur indique qu’il ment). Suite à ce test, la culpabilité de Tina ne fait plus aucun doute ! L’affaire semble alors bouclée mais quelques zones d’ombre subsistent…

Grissom demande au docteur Robbins si ce dernier lui a bien fait parvenir les effets personnels de la famille Collins, il lui déclare alors les avoir confiés à Ekley, ce qui irrite Grissom qui se rend alors chez son « collègue » afin de les récupérer. S’en suit une discussion plutôt houleuse où la rivalité exacerbée existant entre les deux hommes est alors mise en lumière. Grissom insiste sur sa position prioritaire à propos de cette affaire. Il finit ainsi par récupérer ce qu’il est venu cherché. Durant ses observations, il découvre que le médaillon que portait le père est estampillé d’un bison… Ce qui intrigue Grissom, qui voit en lui le fameux bison dont parlait Brenda. Il appelle donc Sara pour lui demander si les médecins ont découvert des traces de violences sexuelles sur la jeune fille, ce que ne confirme pas Sara. Il lui demande de faire des clichés du corps de Brenda à l’aide d’un appareil photo à ultraviolets agissant comme une radiographie.
Quant à Catherine, elle établit des observations à partir des clichés et des échantillons sanguins, sur le cheminement du meurtrier dans la maison. Voilà ce qu’elle constate : l’agresseur tue la mère, le père va protéger sa fille, il passe alors devant le tueur qui le rattrape et l’immobilise avant de l’achever dans le couloir alors que le père s’apprête à entrer dans la chambre de Brenda. Or elle se rend compte que le père sortait en fait de la chambre de la petite fille, ce qui la pousse à donner une nouvelle version de la reconstitution. Le meurtrier a d’abord tué le père qui sortait de la chambre de Brenda, il s’est ensuite dirigé vers la chambre des parents (d’après les gouttes de sang provenant du père, indiquant que le couteau suintait durant le trajet), pour tuer la mère dans son sommeil. Juste au moment d’appeler Grissom pour lui faire part de ses constatations, elle reçoit la visite d’un agent de la protection de l’enfance lui indiquant que son ex mari Eddie a porté plainte contre elle parce qu’il lui reproche de délaisser souvent Lindsay pour son travail. Il lui indique qu’une enquête est en cours pour mettre en lumière les négligences qu’on lui impute.

Sara observe attentivement les clichés de l’appareil photographique à ultraviolets. Ils révèlent des traces de violences physiques… Ce qui atteste que le père abusait de sa fille sexuellement.
Grissom interroge à nouveau Tina et lui révèle ce qu’il a découvert. Elle passe donc aux aveux et décrit les atrocités qui se déroulaient dans sa maison bien avant la nuit du meurtre.
Elle avoue alors que Brenda est en fait sa fille et non pas sa soeur, née d’une relation adultérine avec son père. Elle explique pourquoi elle a chargé Jess de tuer sa mère et ses deux frères, alors coupables de ne pas avoir su la protéger… Elle voulait aussi surtout protéger sa fille afin qu’elle ne subisse plus le même sort…

Pré Générique

Un homme visiblement malheureux se sert un verre d’alcool avant de rejoindre son lit. Quelque chose l’intrigue visiblement… Il se dirige ensuite vers la salle de bain lorsqu’il entend quelqu’un pénétrer dans sa chambre…

…Grissom longe le couloir qui le mène à la chambre de l’homme précédemment cité. Brass l’y attend déjà avec son équipe. Grissom, en inspectant les lieux découvre un homme inanimé dans sa baignoire, la fente de la salle de bain ouverte, sans doute pour alerter le voisinage de la présence d’un corps en état de décomposition et il prend vite conscience que ce cas de suicide déguisé à un air de déjà vu. Il fait alors le rapprochement avec l’affaire Harmon (cf. épisode 1) qui eut lieu trois mois auparavant, toujours non résolue à ce jour. Le cadavre tient dans sa main un dictaphone avec un message enregistré sur K7 sur lequel la victime annonce son suicide. Curieusement, cette fois la bande est inversée et contient le message suivant : « Je m’appelle Stuart Rempler. J’habite au 818 Boeing Hilcove. J’ai 43 ans et je veux mettre fin à mes jours. Je ne peux plus continuer. Je t’aime maman. »

Episode

Grissom arrive au laboratoire, tenant dans un sachet plastique stérile le dictaphone. Il demande alors que la recherche d’empreintes sur cet indice soit prioritaire. Il se dirige ensuite vers la salle de repos où il trouve Nick et Warrick, en train de s’adonner aux joies d’un jeu vidéo. Grissom, passablement énervé et pas très sensible à leur humour, leur confie alors un 10.4 (accident de voiture). Le véhicule d’un automobiliste imprudent est tombé dans un ravin au niveau de Motherdam. Cet accident a été signalé par un appel anonyme. S’agit-il de la mise en scène d’un crime en accident ? Warrick et Nick devront faire la lumière sur cette mystérieuse affaire.
Grissom rejoint ensuite Catherine et Sara qu’il compte associer à son enquête. Grissom et Catherine se chargent alors de mettre Sara au diapason de cette affaire puisqu’elle ne faisait pas encore partie de l’équipe lors du premier meurtre déguisé. Rappel des faits : la première victime était Royce Harmon, son meurtre a été déguisé en suicide. La nouvelle victime, Stuart Rempler a connu le même sort. Quant aux différents indices sur ces affaires, ils sont bien maigres. Les Experts ne disposent que d’un dictaphone contenant le message annonçant le suicide du défunt, d’une empreinte digitale retrouvée sur le premier dictaphone dont l’exploitation n’a pas donné de résultats concluants (l’empreinte a été faite à l’aide d’une main en latex enduite d’un corps gras, empruntée à un concepteur d’objets de farces et attrapes, disculpé par Grissom lors de la première enquête) et le meurtrier présumé a pris le soin de disséminé une multitude de fausses empreintes tout en stérilisant les lieux…
Grissom distribue les tâches. Sara devra récolter et prélever traces et empreintes dans la chambre de la victime à l’aide d’un « mouchard rouge » délicatement conseillé par son mentor. Quant à Catherine, elle accompagnera Grissom chez le légiste.

Warrick et Nick se trouvent sur le lieu de l’accident alors que les secours tentent de désincarcérer la victime de son linceul de taules. Ils constatent rapidement qu’il n’y a pas de conducteur, juste un passager installé à l’arrière du véhicule, celui-ci est toujours conscient.
Nick découvre, en fouillant les lieux, un tesson de bouteille de bière, encore relativement fraîche. Quant à Warrick, il lui propose de gravir au niveau de la route afin d’inspecter minutieusement l’endroit où la voiture est sortie de route.

Morgue. Catherine et Grissom rejoignent le docteur Robbins qui a déjà procédé aux premières constatations sur la victime, à la lumière du dossier médical du précédent défunt. Il a constaté que les deux meurtres étaient similaires en principe mais il y a cependant quelques variantes non négligeables.
Ainsi, il a découvert deux impacts. Une au niveau de la tempe (ce qui est similaire à l’affaire précédente, le meurtrier a collé son arme contre la tempe de sa victime pour la forcer à se rendre dans la salle de bain) et une blessure au niveau de la main causée par un tir par balle, qui a d’ailleurs atteint le corps de la victime. Grissom tente alors de reconstituer les faits. L’assassin braque sa victime avec son arme et le tient en joue. Or ce dernier ne se laisse pas faire et tente de se rebeller, c’est à ce moment là qu’intervient le premier impact (contrairement à Royce Harmon, Stuart Rempler a lutté et a refusé d’entrer dans la baignoire). Les Experts ont bien affaire à deux homicides qui les conduits dans la salle de bain des victimes.

Nick et Warrick se trouvent sur le talus, à l’endroit même où le véhicule est sorti de route. Pendant que Warrick prend des clichés du lieu, Nick procède à l’étude des différentes traces de dérapage, qui indiquent que le véhicule a déboulé à 100 – 120 Kms. Nick s’intéresse alors de près aux tranchées du talus faites par le châssis de la voiture, qui est restée en équilibre un moment avant de tomber dans le ravin. Il remarque aussi des traces de pas, partant du véhicule, un pied dehors puis une grande enjambée (puisque la trace du talon est peu marquée), et il finit par conclure que la seconde personne présente dans le véhicule (alors au volant de la voiture) serait partie en courant, pour aller chercher du secours…Pour lui ce ne serait qu’un accident. Warrick a une toute autre théorie à ce sujet. D’après lui, les traces présentes sur place sont en inadéquation et il pense plutôt à un crime déguisé. Ils prennent alors les paris sur l’issue de cette affaire, toujours dans le cadre de la compétition sans merci qu’ils se livrent depuis toujours.

Chambre d’hôtel. Sara rejoint l’inspecteur Evans qui lui apprend que la victime était domiciliée en ville et qu’elle avait loué une chambre pour la nuit car sa demeure était en cours de fumigation. Il lui indique également qu’il a découvert plusieurs lettres, prêtes à être postées. Sara les inspecte minutieusement. Une des lettres attire son attention car son timbre est collé à l’envers. Elle décide alors d’embarquer le tout pour effectuer des analyses d’empreintes. Elle se dirige ensuite vers la salle de bain où elle compte faire un relevé d’empreintes à l’aide de la poudre magique délivrée par Grissom. Une fois les lieux saupoudrés, elle le scrute à la source lumineuse alternative mais cela ne donne pas les effets escomptés puisqu’elle découvre qu’il n’y a pas une seule empreinte d’exploitable, les lieux ayant été préalablement nettoyés et stérilisés par l’assassin.

Catherine et Grissom se rendent chez la mère de la première victime, Royce Harmon afin d’obtenir des informations complémentaires. Ils lui indiquent que la petite amie de la victime a bien confirmé l’identité de la voix laissée sur l’enregistrement du dictaphone (alors que Mme Harmon n’a pas reconnu celle de son fils). Ils lui demandent alors si elle possède des enregistrements vidéo ou audio de son fils afin que des comparaisons soient effectuées. Après réflexion, elle leur donne alors un cadre parlant contenant la voix de son fils.

Hôpital du Comté. Warrick et Nick se rendent au chevet de la victime, un certain Walter Mangler. Le médecin leur indique qu’il souffre de fractures multiples, qu’il est actuellement sous sédatif et qu’il ne pourra parler qu’au bout d’une vingtaine d’heures. Ils décident alors d’observer son corps. Ils remarquent alors des traces de bronzage indiquant la présence d’une montre et d’une bague. Ils regardent alors dans ses affaires personnelles et ne découvrent qu’un portefeuille vidé de son contenu. Devant ces constatations, Nick et Warrick décident de faire monter l’enjeu de leur pari.

Laboratoire. Greg procède aux analyses des différents timbres retrouvés dans la chambre de la victime. La salive relevée sur le premier timbre correspond bien à celle de Stuart Rempler, quant à la salive du second timbre, elle serait celle d’un individu dont le profil reste encore inconnu.

Garage du Laboratoire. Warrick et Nick se chargent d’étudier minutieusement la carcasse du véhicule que Nick a préalablement paraffinée, ce qui rend Warrick sarcastique…
Warrick a contacté six hôpitaux de la région afin de retrouver la trace du prétendu chauffeur ivre, sans succès. Quant à l’appel anonyme adressé à la police, il fut passé à partir du portable d’un individu se trouvant à Las Vegas. Nick lui apprend alors que le véhicule a été loué près de l’aéroport depuis trois jours au nom de Walter Mangler. Ils inspectent le véhicule et remarquent tout de suite des empreintes sur le volant, grâce à la paraffine utilisée par Nick.

Catherine et Grissom se rendent chez Disco Placid, un spécialiste en acoustique assez fantasque (d’ailleurs, il plait à Catherine :D) afin d’établir une expertise vocale. Première constatation, la voix sur le dictaphone de la première victime correspond bien à celle de Royce Harmon. Seconde constatation, ils détectent un bruit de fond, que le spécialiste décide d’isoler sur une piste à part. C’est un bruit de claquement… Sous doute le son produit par des feuilles en train d’être tournées… On forçait donc la victime à lire quelque chose : son message d’adieu !

Laboratoire. Nick et Warrick reçoivent le résultat du relevé d’empreintes effectué sur le volant du véhicule. Elles correspondent à une multitude de personnes, en fait la plupart des personnes ayant conduit ce véhicule. Nick se procure d’ailleurs la liste auprès de la société de location. Or, en observant attentivement l’empreinte de Walter Mangler au microscope, ils détectent la présence de résidus de couleur bleue.

Laboratoire. Sara rejoint Catherine et Grissom et les informe qu’elle a dressé le profil des victimes. Ce sont des célibataires de sexe masculin, la quarantaine et surtout nés à la même date, le 17 août (1957 pour Stuart Rempler, 1958 pour Royce Harmon). La bande et le timbre inversés intriguent Catherine, qui, après un éclair de génie, les considère comme un signe évident : il leur faut remonter le temps afin d’avance dans l’enquête ! Sara est alors chargée de rechercher toutes les informations disponibles et exploitables sur le 17 août 1956 (puisque c’est la prochaine date remarquable dans cette affaire).
Les résultats du relevé d’empreintes sur le dictaphone parviennent aux Experts. Il y a deux empreintes superposées. La première appartient à Paul Mylander, disculpé dans la première affaire et la seconde appartient, d’après les résultats à une personne interne au Département, cette personne n’est autre que Grissom ! Le tueur aurait alors utilisé une empreinte laissée fortuitement par Grissom afin de l’exploiter dans le cadre de son jeu macabre.

Laboratoire. Nick consulte la liste des utilisateurs du véhicule, mais cette piste se révèle être nulle. Warrick étant présent, ils décident ainsi de monter les enjeux de leur pari. Ce dernier pense que la victime a été braquée juste après son accident, bien avant que son véhicule ne tombe dans le ravin. Cependant, certaines zones d’ombre demeurent, comme la poussière bleue et les traces de pas et de pneus…

Grissom se rend au hangar de Paul Mylander afin de lui demander s’il lui reste un moule de la main qui a servi à déposer les empreintes ainsi que la liste de ses distributeurs afin de contrôler les relevés de cartes de crédit, mais Paul lui affirme qu’il ne garde aucune trace des ventes détaillées.

Laboratoire. Warrick consulte le référentiel des empreintes de chaussures afin de retrouver le modèle de la trace de pas laissée sur le lieu de l’accident. Finalement il s’agit d’une empreinte de tennis all star taille 43. Quant à Nick, il consulte une base de données afin de retrouver le modèle de la trace de pneu laissée au même endroit. Il s’agit d’une trace de dérapage d’un pneu monté sur un quidam. Il y en a trois à Las Vegas, deux sont déjà éliminés, le troisième vient à peine d’être nettoyé de fond en comble par son propriétaire.

Brass apprend à Grissom que la carte de crédit de la dernière victime a été utilisée quelques jours après sa mort officielle afin d’effectuer plusieurs retraits d’argent en espèce à un distributeur automatique de billets. Grissom souhaite alors réquisitionner le système d’enregistrement vidéo de cet automate.

Laboratoire. Nick effectue des prélèvements sur les vêtements de la victime afin d’obtenir un élément de comparaison avec la mystérieuse poussière bleue des empreintes. Pour analyses, il se rend alors chez Greg Sanders, le technicien de labo qui lui apprend que ce résidu n’est autre que du silicium bleuté (utilisé au billard). Nick et Warrick confrontent une nouvelle fois leurs points de vue à la lumière des indices actuellement à leur disposition. Nick maintient la thèse de l’accident alors que Warrick pense toujours qu’il s’agit d’un crime impliquant un voleur de voiture. Dans les deux cas, le triangle indices – suspect - indices prélevés concorde.

Grissom, en compagnie de Sara et Catherine, visionne les images de la caméra de surveillance du distributeur. Il y voit alors un clochard faisant visiblement défiler entre ses mains plusieurs pancartes illustrées par différents dessins. Ce serait un message codé : répétition des actes jusqu’à ce que la justice lui soit rendue. Brass intervient alors pour leur annoncer qu’il a retrouvé le clochard de la bande vidéo. Ils vont pouvoir l’interroger…

Hôpital du Comté. Nick et Warrick rendent visite à la victime présumée qui est maintenant réveillée. Ils lui posent la question fatidique ! Il leur révèle qu’il n’y a pas eu d’agression. Il était ivre et il a pris le volant après une partie de billard particulièrement arrosée durant laquelle il a perdu tout son argent, ne pouvant pas régler ses dettes, il a été quelque peu chahuté par ses créanciers. Sur la route, il a manqué de peu un camion et s’est ainsi retrouvé sur le bas côté, son véhicule restant en équilibre sur le talus. Il est alors passé à l’arrière et s’est solidement attaché avant que sa voiture ne tombe dans le ravin.

Salle d’interrogatoire. Grissom et Brass questionnent le clochard. Il leur raconte alors comment il a été démarché par le mystérieux meurtrier. Ce dernier lui a donné 100 dollars pour qu’il tienne des pancartes devant le distributeur automatique. Il leur donne son signalement qui visiblement correspond à celui de Paul Mylander ! Il les a donc grugés !

Grissom charge alors Sara, qui restera en liaison avec lui, d’effectuer des recherches approfondies sur Mylander dans toutes les bases de données disponibles. Pendant ce temps, Brass tient en alerte la brigade d’intervention de la Police Criminelle afin de procéder à l’arrestation du suspect. Sara trouve alors une information intéressante dans des archives. Le père de Paul Mylander est mort le 17 août 1959 dans ce qui semble être un suicide…

Hangar. La police intervient et constate que les locaux ont été vidés de leur contenu, le tout ayant été préalablement nettoyé. Seul reste un tabouret sur lequel est posée une lettre adressée à Grissom. Il prend ses précautions avant de l’ouvrir et découvre une feuille blanche (symbolique : ils n’ont rien)

Accueil Département de Police Scientifique. Mylander demande à l’hôtesse si Grissom et présent, elle lui répond par la négative. Elle lui demande si il souhaite laisser un message. Il lui charge de dire à Grissom qu’un ami est passé… Il s’en va tout en prenant le soin de saluer les caméras de surveillance…

SCENE #01:

[EXT. LAKE MEAD - NIGHT]

(HANK and GEORGE are sitting in a boat fishing.  HANK struggles to hook a worm.)

HANK:  Ah, these green worms ain't worth a damn.

(Something thumps against the boat.)

GEORGE  What the hell was that?

HANK:  I don't know, probably one of those eight-foot carp.

(Something thumps against the boat again.  GEORGE is spooked.)

GEORGE:  Let's get out of here.

(GEORGE reaches for the engine pull cord and rips it.  The engine sputters and 
dies.)

HANK:  Something probably caught on the blades.  Check the prop.

GEORGE:  I'm not sticking my hand in that water.

(HANK gets up to do it.)

HANK:  (irritated)  Move.  Move out of the way.  Okay.

(HANK reaches over the side of the boat and sticks his hand in the water.  He 
feels around.)

HANK:  Yeah, I got something.

(HANK pulls it up.  He has his hand wrapped around the high heel of a woman's 
shoe.)

through.

GRISSOM:  Like a ginsu through a banana.

(BRASS walks up to them.)

BRASS:  So, what do you think, drowning?

GRISSOM:  Yeah, probably, but under what circumstances?  You don't wear flippers 
at a five-star restaurant.  Why would you wear three-inch heels at a lake?  (to 
CATHERINE)  So, Watson?  The game is afoot.

CATHERINE:  Well, that's good news.

(DR. JENNA WILLIAMS covers the leg with the plastic.)

DR. JENNA WILIAMS:  How do you figure?

CATHERINE:  Well, do you want to be alive when your leg's being cut off?

(The door bursts open and GRISSOM appears pushing a gurney with a body on it.)

GRISSOM:  I believe this goes with that.  (beat)  Divers recovered the body 
about a half a mile east of Calville Marina.

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Female caucasian, mid-30s.  Left thighbone connected to 
nothing.  I believe this is our victim.

CATHERINE:  Well, she's wearing a wedding ring.

GRISSOM:  Will you collect a rape kit?

(DR. WILLIAMS looks up at GRISSOM.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Always do.

(She checks out the hand.)

GRISSOM:  How's it look for prints?

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Her skin's shriveled like a shar-pei.  No pressure, no 
prints.

(GRISSOM looks expectantly at CATHERINE.  CATHERINE knows that look.)

CATHERINE:  No.  No way, use your own hand.

GRISSOM:  Come on, Catherine, my hand's too big.

CATHERINE:  (firmly)  No!

GRISSOM:  It's the only way we can print her.  Her skin on your hand should fit 
like a leather glove.

(GRISSOM reaches for the hand and a knife.  CATHERINE watches as GRISSOM takes 
the skin off of the hand.  When he finishes, he looks up at CATHERINE and 
extends his hand to her.)

GRISSOM:  May I take your hand?

(CATHERINE puts her hand in GRISSOM'S and he leads her to the table where the 
fingerprint kit is.  Although we don't see it, GRISSOM puts the dead woman's 
skin on CATHERINE'S hand.)

GRISSOM:  On behalf of the decedent I thank you.

CATHERINE:  Is there anyone that you know of that might have wanted to harm your 
wife?

WINSTON BARGER:  No.  Everybody loved Wendy.

GRISSOM:  When was the last time you saw her?

WINSTON BARGER:  Tuesday morning.  She needed some time away ... to get 
perspective.  She did that sometimes.  Uh, we have a, a cabin up by Calville 
Bay.

(GRISSOM looks at CATHERINE.)

CATHERINE:  And when was the last time you had intercourse with your wife?

WINSTON BARGER:  Oh, that-that's personal.

CATHERINE:  It's part of our investigation, sir.

WINSTON BARGER:  Uh, well, the average is only once a week.  Saturdays.

(There's an uncomfortable pause.)

CATHERINE:  Mr. Barger ...

WINSTON BARGER:  (interrupts)  Probably three or four months ago.

GRISSOM:  Would you be willing to give us a DNA sample, sir?

WINSTON BARGER:  What's going on?  I thought Wendy drowned.

SARA:  "Get in" ... ?

JUDGE COHEN:  You do what I ask, slate's clean.  Henderson rape case.  State's 
evidence.

WARRICK:  Damn.  I knew you were in tight.

JUDGE COHEN:  Judges aren't appointed on a whim.  I owed the family.  I need you 
to compromise the chain of custody.

WARRICK:  Just like that?  

(The JUDGE nods.)

WARRICK:  We got a slam dunk on a three-time rapist and he's just going to walk?

JUDGE COHEN:  I have to have this case kicked.

charter.  We have a strict no-tolerance policy and as president, I enforce that 
to the letter.

NICK:  (laughs)  Come on, man, I was a Greek and we had all kinds of policies, 
too.  Guys still hazed.

SARA:  We found ink on James's penis.  Are you trying to tell us he was just 
practicing his penmanship?

jail plus expulsion.  We do not haze.

He wanted to belong.

questioned his chops.  I think we all did.

(NICK clears his throat.)

MATT DANIELS:  So, yeah, we gave the pledges an assignment:  They were to go to 
sorority row and, uh, get ... different parts of their bodies signed.

KYLE TRAVIS:  I mean, the menu was pretty straightforward.  Arms and legs:  Five 
points.  Ten points for your chest, 25 points for your butt cheeks and 100 
points for your Johnson.

SARA:  Your Johnson?

NICK:  Yeah, you know, your, uh ...

SARA:  (to NICK)  I know what it is.  (to KYLE)  Don't stop now.

KYLE TRAVIS:  And Johnson ... ...your sorry ass is so far behind in points that

at them.)

NICK:  (firmly)  Answer the question, guys.

KYLE TRAVIS:  I had no choice.  I had to ding him.

MATT DANIELS:  I mean, come on, you're only as strong as your weakest link.

KYLE TRAVIS:  We didn't pledge him.  He pledged us.  He knew what to expect if 
he didn't measure up.

CATHERINE:  What does that give us?

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Nothing yet, but when you find the murder weapon it might 
give you something to compare it against.  Moving down, three words.  Write them 
down.  Minimal pulmonary aspiration.

GRISSOM:  (surprised)  There was no water in her lungs?

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  All I'm saying is, if she died by drowning her lungs would 
be flooded.

(Quick CGI to:  Camera zooms down WENDY BARGER'S open mouth, down through her 
wind pipe and into her lungs where water fills them up.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  (v.o.)   But her lungs weren't flooded.

Wendy was going to do the same thing.

PHIL SWELCO:  No. No.  That's not what I meant.  I loved Wendy.  She said the 
marriage was over.  It's just that ... just ... she was scared.

CATHERINE:  Scared?  Why?

PHIL SWELCO:  She didn't want to hurt Winston.  She thought if she left, he'd 
... break.

GRISSOM:  Tuesday night you and Wendy had dinner at the grille?  Where'd you go 
after that?

PHIL SWELCO:  We went back to the marina in her car and then we took the 
outboard back here.

GRISSOM:  Why'd you take the boat?

PHIL SWELCO:  Wendy didn't want anybody to s-see her car in my driveway so we 
always met at the marina and then we'd take the outboard over here.

CATHERINE:  What happened once you got here?

You've been through a terrible ordeal.  You've asked us to keep you posted and I 
promise we will keep you posted.

WINSTON BARGER:  I just wanted to see if you guys have anything new.

CATHERINE:  As soon as we know, you'll know.  

WINSTON BARGER:  All right.

(WINSTON BARGER walks back to his car and gets in.)

GRISSOM:  Drive safely.

(The engine starts and he drives off.)

(CATHERINE and GRISSOM head back to their car.)

CATHERINE:  You know, eventually we're going to have to tell him that his wife 
was having an affair with somebody he knows.

GRISSOM:  No, we don't, Catherine.  We have to tell him how he died.  Just the 
facts, without all the other stuff.

CATHERINE:  When Eddie was cheating on me I sure wish somebody would have said 
something.

GRISSOM:  You mean me.

CATHERINE: Who else?

FADE TO BLACK.

[INT. CSI - GRISSOM'S OFFICE]

(GRISSOM looks a the tarantula in the tank he's holding up to his eye level.  
CATHERINE knocks on the door.  He looks up; she walks into the office.)

CATHERINE:  New pet?

GRISSOM:  The African  Red Baboon Tarantula -- the most feared of all arachnids.  
But basically harmless.

CATHERINE:  Yeah, well just keep the lid on it, okay?

GRISSOM:  I think you scared him.  All his hairs are standing up.

CATHERINE:  If you're through amusing yourself I have some news on the boat.

GRISSOM:  Was it at the Marina?

CATHERINE:  What do you think?

GRISSOM:  My spider sense says it wasn't.

CATHERINE:  Right. We need to find the boat.

SARA:  The coroner's prelim on the frat hanging.

NICK:  Bust it out.

(SARA lifts her head and sniffs.)

SARA:  What's that smell?

NICK:  I'm nuking a burrito.

SARA:  Mmm, junk food and radiation-- good combo.  

(SARA opens the file and starts reading.)

SARA:  A strip of raw calf's liver was found lodged inside the cleft of victim's 
throat.  Cause of death:  Choking.

SARA:  Microscopic threads of fabric were found embedded in the liver.

KYLE TRAVIS:  Microscopic fabric?  I have no idea what you're talking about.  
You just lost me.

NICK:  Kyle, I'm getting that "hazing" feeling.

SARA:  Did you stuff him?  Suffocate him?  Shove towels down his throat?

KYLE TRAVIS:  No.  Look, lady, I have no idea where you're going with all this 
but you're way off.

(NICK stands off to the side in the shadows.)

NICK:  Tell me about the liver.

KYLE TRAVIS:  What about the liver?

NICK:  Kyle ... Kyle ... eleven years ago I was you, man.  Smoking cigars in 
closets, playing tanks.  I wore a trout in my jean pocket for seven days till my 
leg went half numb.  I've been there.  So, don't ... don't tell me "what about 
it?"

KYLE TRAVIS:  (sighs)  Okay.  James begged us for one more shot so, we came up 
with a challenge.  

(Quick flashback to:  Camera close up of a bloody piece of liver in a 
container.)

KYLE TRAVIS:  (v.o.)  Swallowing raw liver.

(KYLE holds up the piece of liver.  JAMES JOHNSON opens his mouth.)

(Cut to:  JAMES coughs.  MATT DANIELS sits on the couch on the side watching.  
He starts to choke.)

KYLE TRAVIS:  Oh, man.  Oh, man, he's choking.

(MATT gets off of the couch.)

MATT DANIELS:  Give him the heimlich.  Give him the heimlich.
Give him the heimlich!

(They grab JAMES and try to get the liver out of him.)

MATT DANIELS:  He's turning blue!

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

SARA:  How does a kid choke to death and end up hanging from a rafter?

(KYLE doesn't look at SARA.  He looks at NICK.  NICK nods his head and steps 
away.)

KYLE TRAVIS:  (sighs)  Okay.  We freaked.  I mean, we had a lot to lose here.  
We could lose our charter or get kicked out of school or even go to jail.  So, 
me and Matt, we strung him up, and ... made it look like he'd committed suicide.

(NICK looks down and nods his head.)

SARA:  You do realize you just admitted to killing him?

KYLE TRAVIS:  We didn't kill him.  It was an accident.

SARA:  It was an accident.  But now it's beginning to look like Christmas.

KYLE TRAVIS:  Look, (sighs) ... my dad's a top defense attorney so, if charges 
are filed ...

(NICK grabs a chair and sits down.)

NICK:  Don't worry.  They will be.

KYLE TRAVIS:  It'll be manslaughter, not murder.  And me and Matt wind up with 
community service.

NICK:  We can hold him for manslaughter.

SARA:  Manslaughter -- are you kidding?  Are you willing to settle for that?  
Come on, Nick, you know as well as I do there is more to this.

NICK:  You're going 80 miles an hour in second gear.  Let's just slow down, all 
right?

SARA:  Okay.

NICK:  They said they performed the heimlich, right?

SARA:  Yeah. I don't believe them.

NICK:  Well, if they performed the heimlich, there'd be evidence of trauma.  

SARA:  Yes, there would.

DR. CORBETT:  Well, now, you're right.  If they gave this frat kid the heimlich 
chances are we'd find a broken rib.

NICK:  Not even a fracture.

SARA:  What about abdominal or thoracic bruising?

DR. CORBETT:  Nope. Photos are all negative.

SARA:  They lied.  When this kid was choking, no one tried to help him.

DR. CORBETT:  Take a look at this.  

(DR. CORBETT moves to the keyboard monitor.  He works on the keyboard.)

DR. CORBETT:  Now, we magnified Mr. Johnson's privates.  

(SARA glances back at NICK and sees that he's watching the monitor.  NICK 
glances at SARA.)

DR. CORBETT:  The ink is from a felt tip.  It's a paper max thin tip to be 
exact.

(SARA nods her head.)

SARA:  (reading)  "JILL W."  Two triangles.

(She looks at it, covers her eyes and laughs.)

JILL WENTWORTH:  (laughing)  Oh, my god.  Oh, where did you get that?

SARA:  Where do you think?

JILL WENTWORTH:  You don't think that has something to do with what happened?

NICK:  We don't know yet. That's what we're trying to find out.  How well did 
you know James?

JILL WENTWORTH:  Uh, he was pledging my boyfriend's house.  We're Greek, I mean

NICK:  Yeah, fibers liver-anything to implicate these guys.

empties its contents on the floor.  He picks up a piece of string with a

SANDERS who is wearing head phones.)

WARRICK:  Let me guess.  Radiohead or Rage against the machine.

GREG SANDERS:  Actually, it's an audio book on restriction enzyme analysis and 
DNA typing.  PCR fingerprinting.  Choice.

WARRICK:  Right.

(As they pass the garage, GREG looks in through the window and sees GRISSOM 
inside.)

GREG SANDERS:  What's Grissom doing in the garage?

WARRICK:  Oh, he's working that Wendy Barger case -- you know, the floater?

GREG SANDERS:  Oh.

WARRICK:  Only clue he's got is a missing boat which sucks, 'cause ... it's 
missing.

GREG SANDERS:  (chuckles)  He thinks he's going to find it in a bathtub?

WARRICK:  It's a simulation tank.  He's re-creating the conditions the night she 
died.  Body was dumped, like, a half mile from Calville Bay.  They think the 
boat must have drifted with the currents.

GREG SANDERS:  And let me guess -- Catherine got bored.

WARRICK:  Well, you know Grissom.  Shortest distance between two points is 
science.  And for Catherine, it's pounding the pavement.

GREG SANDERS:  Hey, I thought Grissom gave you the night off.

WARRICK:  (nods)  Yeah.  Something came up.  See you.

CATHERINE:  I took a walk.

(GRISSOM walks toward the water tank.)

GRISSOM:  Just South of Barring Point Bridge?  What color is the boat?

CATHERINE:  It's white with lime green trim.  Just like the splinters we found 
in Wendy Barger's head wound.

GRISSOM:  Well done, Catherine.  Well done.

(CATHERINE stifles a giggle.)

GRISSOM:  (from phone)  let's get the boat back to the garage.

JUDGE COHEN:  It's a two-way street, pal.  Did you do what I asked?

WARRICK:  I checked out the evidence, yeah.  But I'm not sure about the rest.

JUDGE COHEN:  What's the big deal?  You break the seal on the evidence box it's 
over.  We put it to bed, I tell Henderson "mission accomplished."

(WARRICK raises his hand and gives a thumbs up signal.)

WARRICK:  Why don't you let me do that?

GRISSOM:  We work as a team.  We're not competing.

(GREG gets his yogurt out of the refrigerator and opens it.)

GREG SANDERS:  Okay.  But, ah, she found it first.  Right?

GRISSOM:  "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and, sorry I could not travel 
both."

GREG SANDERS:  Robert Frost.

GRISSOM:  Very good, Greg.

GREG SANDERS:  Thanks.

(GREG takes a seat opposite GRISSOM.)

GRISSOM:  But actually, in this case, Mr. Frost does not apply.  When you have a 
partner you each take a road.  That's how you find a missing boat.

GREG SANDERS:  Come on.  Level with me.  Who do you think killed her -- the 
husband or boyfriend?

(GRISSOM looks at GREG.)

GRISSOM:  And you've narrowed it down to just two suspects?

GREG SANDERS:  Actually, you did.  You see, my second week at CSI, you told me 
that when a cheating spouse is murdered there's always two suspects at the top 
of the list:  The lover and the betrayed.

GRISSOM:  I told you this?

GREG SANDERS:  Mm-hmm.  You see, I'm thinking that the husband caught Wendy with 
the boyfriend and when she left his house, he killed her in a jealous rage.

GRISSOM:  And this theory is based on...?

(GRISSOM stands up.)

GREG SANDERS:  Nothing.  I'm just trying to help.

GRISSOM:  I'm going to the garage to meet Catherine.  (GRISSOM tosses his 
plate.)  You keep thinking, Butch.  That's what you're good at.

(GREG stands up to follow GRISSOM to the door.)

raise.

CATHERINE:  I think I may have found some skin.  When Wendy hit her head.  Did 
you hear what I said?

(GRISSOM picks up the camera and holds it.)

GRISSOM:  Blood.

CATHERINE:  Blood?  Well, you were at the autopsy.  The head trauma wasn't a 
bleeder.

GRISSOM:  Well, maybe she fought back.  Either way, we got to call Brass.  Tell 
them to bring the boyfriend in.

Swelco.

(BRASS walks up to GRISSOM.  CATHERINE joins them.)

GRISSOM:  How's it going?

BRASS:  Aah, you know, the usual beep-bap-bop, you know?  The guy said he cut 
his hand cleaning fish.  Got a tetanus shot.  That's his excuse for the blood we 
found on the boat.  But I'll call the Lake Clinic to confirm.

CATHERINE:  (teasing)  Damn, you're good.

(In the background, WINSTON BARGER appears in the hallway.)

BRASS:  Oh, shut up.  Stevie, hang with him.

WINSTON BARGER:  (o.s.)  Phil?  Phil Swelco?

(PHIL SWELCO looks up.)

(At the sound of his voice, GRISSOM and CATHERINE straighten and look back at 
WINSTON BARGER.)

PHIL SWELCO:  Winston.  (beat)  I heard about your wife.  I'm sorry.

WINSTON BARGER:  What are you doing here?  Why are you questioning him?

CATHERINE:  Mr. Barger, why don't you, um come over here with me.  Just walk 
over ...

(CATHERINE takes WINSTON BARGER down one end of the hallway.  GRISSOM goes to 
PHIL SWELCO.)

GRISSOM:  Mr. Swelco.  Why don't we go in here sit down.

(GRISSOM takes PHIL SWELCO back into the room.)

CATHERINE:  Have a seat.

(They sit down.)

WINSTON BARGER:  I always knew she was seeing someone.  I just didn't know who.

CATHERINE:  (sighs)  Oh, I'm sorry.

WINSTON BARGER:  She was having an affair with Phil Swelco?  And you think he 
killed her.

[EXT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - PARKING LOT - NIGHT]

(GRISSOM and CATHERINE argue in the parking lot.)

GRISSOM:  You just compromised our investigation.

CATHERINE:  He deserved to know the truth.

GRISSOM:  Knowing how she died, yes.  Knowing that she had an affair -- how does 
that bring closure?

CATHERINE:  I guess you just have to be on the wrong end of an affair to 
understand.

GRISSOM:  You can't make this about Eddie.  Look, you hurt our case because your 
ex hurt you.

CATHERINE:  We bring ourselves to our cases.  We can't help it.  I knew how 
Barger felt.  Would you just relax?  I didn't give him chapter and verse.

GRISSOM:  You can't give him anything, Catherine.  We're scientists.  We're not 
psychiatrists or victims' rights advocates.

CATHERINE:  You right, you know.  I should be just like you.  Alone in my 
hermetically sealed condo watching discovery on the big screen working genius-
level crossword puzzles, but no relationships.  No chance any will slop over 
into a case.  Right. I want to be just like you.

GRISSOM:  Technically, it's a townhouse.  And the crosswords are advanced, not 
genius.  But you're right.  I'm deficient in a lot of ways.  But I never screw 
up one of my cases with personal stuff.

CATHERINE:  Grissom ... what personal stuff?

NICK:  Jill.  (laughs) Man, Kyle must've been steamed.  His girlfriend signs a 
pledge's privates?

MATT DANIELS:  Yeah, Kyle, can take a joke.

SARA:  He didn't think it was funny enough to share it with us.  You know, I 
never met a guy who could just laugh that off.

NICK:  Hey, Matt you know why I joined a fraternity?  'Cause I wanted to belong 
to something -- the brotherhood.  That's what it was all about for me you know 
what I mean?  So, I'm going to cut to the chase here, bud.  You come clean, you 
might be able to save your house ... save the brotherhood, but ... if you don't 
... 

SARA:  You and Kyle both get charged with murder.  And the House goes dark.

NICK:  Everything you're trying to protect you'll destroy.  Matty, I found the 
string.  Now are you ready to tell us what happened after James got back to that 
house?

MATT DANIELS:  Okay.

MATT DANIELS:  Hey, let's see what Johnson came up with.

FRAT BOY:  Yeah?
FRAT BOY:  Yeah, let's see it, dude.
FRAT BOY:  Show it!

MATT DANIELS:  Dude ... that's your girlfriend.  She signed it.

background.)

KYLE TRAVIS:  Good.

(JAMES puts his pants back on.)

KYLE TRAVIS:  Meet me upstairs, pledge. 

(White flash to:  KYLE and JAMES are up in the bedroom.  KYLE holds onto the 
string with the piece of raw liver on it.)

KYLE TRAVIS:  You're still behind in points.  So this is what we're going to do.  
I'm going to put this down your throat you're going to swallow it and you're 
going to trust me to pull it back out.  Okay.

(KYLE holds out the piece of liver and JAMES swallows it.  He pulls on the 
string and it comes loose.  JAMES chokes on the piece of liver.  KYLE sits in 
front of JAMES and watches him.)

(Cut to:  MATT sees KYLE in the doorway.)

MATT DANIELS:  Dude, where's Johnson?

(MATT walks into the room and his smile freezes when he sees JAMES dead.)

(White flash to:  MATT stares at JAMES' body.)

KYLE TRAVIS:  All right, all right, all right, listen to me.  Anything goes down

CATHERINE:  What?

GRISSOM:  Get in the boat.

CATHERINE:  Why?

GRISSOM:  Just indulge me, please?

CATHERINE:  There's no gas.  It's not gonna start.

GRISSOM:  That's not the point.

(Again.)

GRISSOM:  More.

CATHERINE:  It's sore.  (realizing)  But you already knew that.

the water.)

GRISSOM:  (v.o.) ... Wendy goes under, where she remains until a barge's 
propeller severs her leg.

GRISSOM:  Well, sometimes it's about what didn't happen.

CATHERINE:  Well ... (sighs) ... I guess we better go talk to the husband.  I 
mean, unless you think I'm going to compromise the integrity of the case again.

WARRICK:  Yeah. Fine.  Thanks for letting Brass handle it.

[INT. PHIL SWELCO'S HOUSE - MORNING]

(The door opens.  GRISSOM and CATHERINE are standing outside on the porch.)

GRISSOM:  Hello?!  Mr. Swelco?!  Mr. Swelco?!  Mr. Swelco?

(They open the door.  CATHERINE and GRISSOM walk inside.)

(They both head upstairs.)

(PHIL SWELCO is on the ground, dead.  WINSTON BARGER sits in the nearby chair 
crying.  The gun still in his hand.)

WINSTON BARGER:  He killed my wife.

CATHERINE:  We just came from your house.  We wanted to tell you that your 
wife's death was an accident.

WINSTON BARGER:  What?

(GRISSOM walks over to WINSTON BARGER.  He takes a glove out of his pocket and 
grabs the gun from his loose grip.)

(CATHERINE kneels down to check on PHIL SWELCO.)

GRISSOM:  He didn't kill her.

(WINSTON BARGER whimpers and starts crying.)

FADE TO BLACK.

COLD OPEN:

NARRATOR:  Previously on:   

[Scenes from 1X01: Pilot]

[INT. CSI - HALLWAY]

(NICK moves the "SOLVED" magnet from the side and puts it right on top of the 
board on CRIME #99, UNIDENTIFIED PERSON, on his side of the board.)

(Cut to:  GRISSOM swings NICK'S new I.D. badge in front of him.)

GRISSOM:  Congratulations, Nicky, my boy.  You are now a CSI Level Three.

NICK:  (excited)  Whoo!



[INT. CATHERINE'S SISTER'S HOUSE - BEDROOM - MORNING]

(LINDSEY wakes up.)

LINDSEY WILLOWS:  Mommy?

CATHERINE:  I couldn't drive here fast enough to tell you how much I love you.

LINDSEY WILLOWS:  I love you, too.



[Scenes from 1X02:  Cool Change]

[INT. CSI - LAB]

CATHERINE:  Sara Sidle?

SARA:  (smiles)  I know who I am.  I think you're a little confused.



[INT. CSI - BRASS' OFFICE - DAY]

(GRISSOM checks into BRASS' office as he clears his stuff out.)

GRISSOM:  I just off the phone with the Sheriff.  He says he wants me to run the 
unit.

BRASS:  You're the boss.



[INT. CSI - HALLWAY]

(GRISSOM and WARRICK sit on the bench in the hallway.)

GRISSOM:  They say I got to let you go.

WARRICK:  I know.

(GRISSOM stands and moves in front of WARRICK.)

GRISSOM:  I don't care what the book says.  I lost one good person today, I 
don't want to lose another. 

(GRISSOM holds out WARRICK'S gun and badge back out to him.)

GRISSOM:  Here.

(WARRICK looks up at GRISSOM.)

CUT TO
END OF "PREVIOUSLY ON"



FLASH IN.

[EXT. VARIOUS NEVADA DESERT (STOCK) - DAY]

(Camera close up of a shovel dropping dry dirt onto the ground and patting it 
down.  A large booted foot steps onto the spot.)

(The MAN finishes and walks away from the spot with his shovel.)

HARD CUT TO BLACK.



(A lighter flame flickers on.  The woman holding the lighter is lying down in 
the dark.  She looks around at the enclosed space around her.  She starts to 
panic and cry.)

(She screams as she realizes that she's inside a box.)

FADE TO BLACK.



SCENE #01:

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE -- NIGHT]

(Scene opens on the tape machine playing the ransom note.  GRISSOM, NICK and 
JACK GARRIS listen to the message.)

ALTERED VOICE:  (o.s.)  (from tape)  Bring $2 million in hundreds to Charleston 
and Third in three hours or your wife dies.  (beat) Stop me from taking the 
money -- she still dies.

JACK GARRIS:  This guy thinks it's some kind of joke using a voice like that.

NICK:  He's altering his voice, sir, electronically.

GRISSOM:  We don't consider it a joke at all.

(GRISOM starts the tape over again.)

ALTERED VOICE:  (from tape)  Bring $2 million in hundreds ... 

JACK GARRIS:  (irritated and impatient)  You guys have listened to that tape 
like, twenty times.  Will somebody please go out and find my wife?

GRISSOM:  Mr. Garris, please.  Sometimes, if you listen closely you can hear a 
lot.

(GRISSOM rewinds the tape again.  He plays it and everyone falls silent as they 
listen to the low frequency buzz of the player.)

JACK GARRIS:  (after a moment)  I don't hear anything.

GRISSOM:  Right.  Where do you hear nothing in Las Vegas?

(JACK GARRIS doesn't say anything as he thinks about it.  GRISSOM answers his 
own question.)

GRISSOM:  The desert.  (beat)  And, judging by what sounds like a low frequency 
buzz in the background, possibly near power lines.

JACK GARRIS:  How'd you hear all that?

GRISSOM:  I listen.

(JACK GARRIS stares at GRISSOM and nods his head slightly.)

(In the background, we can hear someone talking on a phone.)

BRASS:  (to phone)  Right, okay, all right, got it.

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE -- CONTINUOUS]

(BRASS makes his way across the living room toward them.  He puts his phone 
away.)

BRASS:  (to GRISSOM)  I just spoke with the FBI.  They'll back us up if we need 
it, but we have to handle it.

(BRASS turns to leave.  JACK GARRIS stops him.)

JACK GARRIS:  Uh, detective, wait.  What are my chances here ... of-of Laura ... 
f-for Laura?

BRASS:  It's a three-hour window.

JACK GARRIS:  Will somebody just tell me the truth?

BRASS:  A ransom message with a short fuse means that the victim's situation 
will cause her to expire by or before the deadline regardless of what we do.

NICK:  In a car trunk -- that kind of thing.

BRASS:  It's a form of passive murder if you want to be, uh...
'honest' about it.

JACK GARRIS:  Then you guys have got to move.

GRISSOM:  Mr. Garris ... it's my experience that, in situations like this if you 
want to go fast, go slow.

FADE IN.

SCENE #02:

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE - BACK HALLWAY -- NIGHT]

(SARA walks cautiously into the hallway.  She looks at the security pad on the 
wall.)

SARA:  Get a picture of the security pad.  Someone touches it before it's 
dusted, I break their fingers.  

(SARA turns her head and works her way down the hallway.  The photographer/tech 
follows her.)

SARA:  Shoot the mirror, point of disturbance the lamp, point of disturbance ... 

(SARA puts an evidence marker on the mirror and she puts evidence marker #2 on 
the lamp on the floor.  The tech takes pictures of the security pad on the wall, 
then turns to take pictures of the mirror.)

(SARA looks up and sees something on the doorframe.  As she stares at it, NICK 
appears behind her also staring at the doorframe.  SARA turns around.)

SARA:  ... you're standing in my crime scene.

NICK:  No.  (he holds up the disk)  (beat)  You're in mine.

(NICK smiles and turns to walk out of the house.)

SARA:  (envious)  You're doing audio?  I wanted that.

NICK:  I outrank you.

SARA:  Technicality.  Who did Grissom handpick to work here?

(NICK chuckles dryly.)

NICK:  Keep telling yourself that.

(SARA turns back to look at the doorframe)

SARA:  (to the tech)  Get the lights, will you?

TECHNICIAN:  Got it.

(The TECHNICIAN turns the lights off.  SARA gets out her ALS and looks at the 
stuff on the doorframe.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #03:

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT]

(BRASS talks with JACK GARRIS.)

JACK GARRIS:  Shady friends?  No. Laura surrounds herself with quality people-- 
people of real substance.

(BRASS nods.)

BRASS:  Has her behavior changed recently -- drug use, alcohol, things like 
that?

JACK GARRIS:  (interrupts)  No, no, no, nothing like that.  

(BRASS doesn't say anything.  He stands up.)

JACK GARRIS:  She's a health nut -- we both are.

BRASS:  Uh-huh.

JACK GARRIS:  Look, I'm a rich man.  How do we let this guy know I'll pay?

BRASS:  We don't want to go there yet.

CUT TO:



SCENE #04:

[EXT. GARRIS RESIDENCE – SUV -- CURB -- NIGHT]

(NICK starts the car's engine.  GRISSOM leans in through the open passenger 
window to give NICK last minute instructions.)

GRISSOM:  Nick, tell lab to do a reverse algorithm on that tape and then get it 
into enhancement.

NICK:  I know what to tell the audio guy.

GRISSOM:  You've been a Level Three for what, two weeks?

NICK:  I got it under control.  

(GRISSOM stares at NICK and doesn't say anything.  NICK smiles.)

NICK:  Swear.  

(GRISSOM moves away from the window.)

NICK:  Later.

(NICK shifts the car into gear.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #05:

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE - BEDROOM]

(Camera opens on a broken picture frame on the floor next to evidence marker #6.  
A camera flashes.)

(GRISSOM walks into the bedroom.  SARA is standing at the dresser taking 
photographs.  GRISSOM walks in and looks around.)

SARA:  Cursory call -- looks like a professional job.  

(GRISSOM doesn't say anything.  He leans over to look at the various framed 
pictures on the tabletop.  SARA continues to call it.)

SARA:  (continuing)  Our guy bypasses the security system, surprises the wife in 
the back hall.  Drags her in here.  She grabs onto the doorway -- sign of 
struggle.  No sign of sexual assault.  He's in, they're out.  

(GRISSOM glances down and sees a smudge on the carpet.  It grabs his attention 
and he leans in low to examine it closely.)

SARA:  (continuing)  Probably ... egress through those doors.  Excuse me, is my  
evaluation interrupting you?

GRISSOM:  No, no, no.  I barely heard you.

SARA:  Glad I have a healthy ego.  You find something interesting there?

GRISSOM:  Dirt.

SARA:  You're ... so ... technical ... I can hardly keep up, but ...

GRISSOM;  Oh, sorry, but, uh ... out of context, it's ... just dirt.

CUT TO:



SCENE #06:

[EXT. GARRIS RESIDENCE - BACKYARD - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM steps through the open balcony doors and out into the backyard patio.  
SARA follows him.)

(He looks around.  SARA sniffs.)

SARA:  Did you just slap on bad cologne?

GRISSOM:  I never wear it.  It interferes with the job.

SARA:  It's almost sweet.

(GRISSOM sees something.)

GRISSOM:  Hmm.

(He finds a cloth on the ground.  He picks it up and smells it.  He offers it to 
SARA to smell.)

SARA:  Can't be chloroform.

GRISSOM:  Halothane, maybe.

SARA:  We'll confirm it in GC mass spec.

(SARA reaches into her bag for an evidence bag.)

GRISSOM:  "Looks like a professional job," I think you said.  

(SARA glances up at GRISSOM and smiles.)

GRISSOM:  Care to amend your evaluation?  I mean, if the guy forgets the rag he 
used to knock her out, he can't be much of a pro.

(He puts the cloth in the evidence bag SARA holds open for him.)

SARA:  (smiles)  I keep trying to be your star pupil.

GRISSOM:  Sara, that was a seminar.  This is real.  Pebbles, tile -- the front 
is all concrete.

SARA:  No dirt.  Context-- there is dirt on the carpeting inside.

GRISSOM:  In an otherwise spotless house.

SARA:  You're saying kidnapper tracked the dirt in.

GRISSOM:  Possible.  As of now, that's about all we have, so ... I guess we 
follow the dirt.

(GRISSOM walks past SARA and back into the house.  SARA looks up, shakes her 
head and smiles.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #07:

[EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREET -- NIGHT]

(Cameras flash.  The female in the body bag is covered and the bag zipped up.)

(Cut to:  The ambulance door closes and the vehicle drives off.)

CATHERINE:  How many hit-and-runs we had this year?

WARRICK:  Too many.  One thing I can't stand is a punk coward.

(CATHERINE looks down at the roadside and stares at the scooter that the little 
girl was riding.  It's on its side next to evidence marker #1 and a ruler.)

CATHERINE:  My daughter wants one of these scooters.  Says she's the only kid in 
the world who doesn't have one.

(CATHERINE steps up to the fallen scooter and kneels down next to it.  WARRICK 
looks at CATHERINE'S back.)

WARRICK:  You want me to take this case alone?

(CATHERINE turns around to look back up at WARRICK.)

CATHERINE:  You feeling all right, Warrick?

WARRICK:  Oh, I'm fine.  I'm ... I'm looking after you.  (He shakes his head.)  
It's that thing with Holly Gribbs.  

(CATHERINE stands up and looks at WARRICK.)

WARRICK:  It's made me think of who I am to my partners, you know?

CATHERINE:  So this is what-- your new leaf?

WARRICK:  (embarrassed, yet serious)  You keep on busting on me, you won't see 
any kind of leaf.

CATHERINE:  (smiles)  Hey, relax.  I'll play nice.  Thank you for the offer.  
I'm okay.  I can handle this one.  

(CATHERINE turns back to look at the scooter.  She kneels down next to it.)

CATHERINE:  It'd be nice if this paint transfer had just one special property.  
(beat)  You want to call it?

WARRICK:  (points)  Vehicle's humming down Rochester.  The vic was on her 
scooter, heading eastbound.  Car brakes here ...

(WARRICK points to the tire marks on the road next to evidence marker #3.)

WARRICK: ... impact here.  The vic was thrown -- what-- twenty meters?

CATHERINE:  And all we've got is some paint that's going to match up to about 20 
million other vehicles.

WARRICK:  (sighs)  Yeah.

CATHERINE:  Bastard.

CUT TO:



SCENE #08:

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE - FOYER -- NIGHT]

(JACK GARRIS heads out the front door.  He turns around to look at BRASS.)

JACK GARRIS:  Are you ordering me not to pay the ransom?

BRASS:  It's a very strong suggestion, yes.

(Behind BRASS, GRISSOM turns the corner and heads slowly toward the men.)

JACK GARRIS:  After you told me she could already be dead?  I don't believe you 
guys.  This is my wife.  I'm paying the ransom.

BRASS:  Look, if you give up the cash the kidnapper has no reason to communicate 
with us.

JACK GARRIS:  Does anyone on your team know where Laura is right now?

GRISSOM:  We have an entire forensics lab working on this.

JACK GARRIS:  Yeah?  Something tells me I'll see her before you do.

(And with that, JACK GARRIS walks out of the house with the money in a 
briefcase.)

BRASS:  Well, your job just got harder.

GRISSOM:  Yeah.

BRASS:  (sighs)  I'll stay close to the money.

(BRASS heads out the front door to follow JACK GARRIS.)

CUT TO:



[SCOPE VIEW OF THE DIRT]

GRISSOM:  (v.o.)  This dirt has interesting properties.



SCENE #09:

[INT. CSI - LAB -- NIGHT]

(SARA and GRISSOM are in the lab.  SARA is looking through the scope at the 
dirt.)

GRISSOM:  The gold flecks -- that's easy -- it's gold.  The little gray 
squiggles?  Cyanide.

(She looks up from the scope.)

SARA:  Cyanide?  He poisoned her?

GRISSOM:  No.  Did you know that Nevada produces 80% of the country's gold?  
Miners drop cyanide powder into the dirt and it draws the gold to the surface.

SARA:  And how does a bug specialist know so much about dirt?

GRISSOM:  I had a case five years ago.  We found a skeleton in an abandoned gold 
mine.  I thought it was a murder.  Turned out the guy passed out drunk and the 
cyanide leached into his system.

SARA:  Gruesome, Grissom.

GRISSOM:  You know, it's funny but every case teaches me something about the 
next.

SARA:  So when you said, "Follow the dirt"...?

GRISSOM:  Gold mine -- it's possible that's where he's got her.

SRA:  Great.  There's got to be 100 gold mines in Nevada.

GRISSOM:  True, but how many are near power lines within range of the drop zone?  
(He unrolls the map in front of him.)  Three.  (He points.)  One ... two ... 
three.

HARD CUT TO BLACK.

(COMMERCIAL SET)



FADE IN.

SCENE #10:

[INT. CSI - FORENSIC AUTOPSY -- NIGHT]

(DR. JENNA WILLIAMS uncovers the little girl.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  This is your hit-and-run victim.  Bad thing about this job 
is you stop asking yourself 'why'.  Here's the bruise I was telling you about.  

(She lifts up the blanket to show CATHERINE the bruise on the little girl's 
thigh.  CATHERINE leans in for a better look.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  You see it?

(WARRICK moves around to look at the bruise.)

(Quick flashback to:  The little girl screams.  The car impacts her on the 
thigh.  End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

CATHERINE:  (straightens)  Oh, my god.  Plate numbers.

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  From the license plate when it impacted her skin.

WARRICK:  Looks like a "four" and a "J."

CATHERINE:  Yeah.

WARRICK:  Not like he left us any evidence.

CATHERINE:  Call DMV.

WARRICK:  I'll get them to cross-check this partial within a five-mile radius 
see how many hits they come up with.  You'll have those pictures for me?

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Yep.

(WARRICK heads out of the autopsy room.)

CATHERINE:  I'll meet you out front.

WARRICK:  All right.

CUT TO:



SCENE #11:

[INT. HELICOPTER (MOVING) - OVER DESERT -- NIGHT]

(SARA and GRISSOM are sitting in the moving helicopter looking through a heat 
sensor.)

SARA:  Freaky.  Is that what I think it is?

GRISSOM:  It's a pack of coyotes.  The sensor picks up any form of body heat, 
two-legged or four-legged.

CUT TO:



[EXT. DRIVING RANGE - NIGHT]



SCENE #12:

[INT. BRASS' UNMARKED CAR - STREET ACROSS DROP POINT -- NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]

(BRASS sits in his car keeping his eye on the trash can just outside the driving 
range grounds.)

(He watches as a sports car drives up to the trash can.  JACK GARRIS gets out of 
the car with the bag full of money.  He looks around and walks toward the trash 
can.  He lifts up the lid and dumps the bag inside the trash can.)

NICK:  (o.s.)  Captain Brass. Hey.

(NICK opens the car door and gets inside the passenger seat, startling BRASS.)

BRASS:  Geez, you scared me.

NICK:  Sorry.  Sorry.  Grissom told me to hook up with you.  He says the drop 
place will be a crime scene.

BRASS:  We hope.

(BRASS turns to look outside just as JACK GARRIS gets back into his car.  He 
closes the door.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #13:

[INT. HELICOPTER (MOVING) -OVER DESERT -- NIGHT]

(The heat sensor tracks a coyote running across the desert.)

GRISSOM:  Come on, give us something

NARRATOR:  Previously on:   

[Scenes from 1X01: Pilot]

[INT. CSI - HALLWAY]

(NICK moves the "SOLVED" magnet from the side and puts it right on top of the 
board on CRIME #99, UNIDENTIFIED PERSON, on his side of the board.)

(Cut to:  GRISSOM swings NICK'S new I.D. badge in front of him.)

GRISSOM:  Congratulations, Nicky, my boy.  You are now a CSI Level Three.

NICK:  (excited)  Whoo!



[INT. CATHERINE'S SISTER'S HOUSE - BEDROOM - MORNING]

(LINDSEY wakes up.)

LINDSEY WILLOWS:  Mommy?

CATHERINE:  I couldn't drive here fast enough to tell you how much I love you.

LINDSEY WILLOWS:  I love you, too.



[Scenes from 1X02:  Cool Change]

[INT. CSI - LAB]

CATHERINE:  Sara Sidle?

SARA:  (smiles)  I know who I am.  I think you're a little confused.



[INT. CSI - BRASS' OFFICE - DAY]

(GRISSOM checks into BRASS' office as he clears his stuff out.)

GRISSOM:  I just off the phone with the Sheriff.  He says he wants me to run the 
unit.

BRASS:  You're the boss.



[INT. CSI - HALLWAY]

(GRISSOM and WARRICK sit on the bench in the hallway.)

GRISSOM:  They say I got to let you go.

WARRICK:  I know.

(GRISSOM stands and moves in front of WARRICK.)

GRISSOM:  I don't care what the book says.  I lost one good person today, I 
don't want to lose another. 

(GRISSOM holds out WARRICK'S gun and badge back out to him.)

GRISSOM:  Here.

(WARRICK looks up at GRISSOM.)

END OF "PREVIOUSLY ON"



FLASH IN.

[EXT. VARIOUS NEVADA DESERT (STOCK) - DAY]

(Camera close up of a shovel dropping dry dirt onto the ground and patting it 
down.  A large booted foot steps onto the spot.)

(The MAN finishes and walks away from the spot with his shovel.)

HARD CUT TO BLACK.



(A lighter flame flickers on.  The woman holding the lighter is lying down in 
the dark.  She looks around at the enclosed space around her.  She starts to 
panic and cry.)

(She screams as she realizes that she's inside a box.)

FADE TO BLACK.



SCENE #01:

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE -- NIGHT]

(Scene opens on the tape machine playing the ransom note.  GRISSOM, NICK and 
JACK GARRIS listen to the message.)

ALTERED VOICE:  (o.s.)  (from tape)  Bring $2 million in hundreds to Charleston 
and Third in three hours or your wife dies.  (beat) Stop me from taking the 
money -- she still dies.

JACK GARRIS:  This guy thinks it's some kind of joke using a voice like that.

NICK:  He's altering his voice, sir, electronically.

GRISSOM:  We don't consider it a joke at all.

(GRISOM starts the tape over again.)

ALTERED VOICE:  (from tape)  Bring $2 million in hundreds ... 

JACK GARRIS:  (irritated and impatient)  You guys have listened to that tape 
like, twenty times.  Will somebody please go out and find my wife?

GRISSOM:  Mr. Garris, please.  Sometimes, if you listen closely you can hear a 
lot.

(GRISSOM rewinds the tape again.  He plays it and everyone falls silent as they 
listen to the low frequency buzz of the player.)

JACK GARRIS:  (after a moment)  I don't hear anything.

GRISSOM:  Right.  Where do you hear nothing in Las Vegas?

(JACK GARRIS doesn't say anything as he thinks about it.  GRISSOM answers his 
own question.)

GRISSOM:  The desert.  (beat)  And, judging by what sounds like a low frequency 
buzz in the background, possibly near power lines.

JACK GARRIS:  How'd you hear all that?

GRISSOM:  I listen.

(JACK GARRIS stares at GRISSOM and nods his head slightly.)

(In the background, we can hear someone talking on a phone.)

BRASS:  (to phone)  Right, okay, all right, got it.

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE -- CONTINUOUS]

(BRASS makes his way across the living room toward them.  He puts his phone 
away.)

BRASS:  (to GRISSOM)  I just spoke with the FBI.  They'll back us up if we need 
it, but we have to handle it.

(BRASS turns to leave.  JACK GARRIS stops him.)

JACK GARRIS:  Uh, detective, wait.  What are my chances here ... of-of Laura ... 
f-for Laura?

BRASS:  It's a three-hour window.

JACK GARRIS:  Will somebody just tell me the truth?

BRASS:  A ransom message with a short fuse means that the victim's situation 
will cause her to expire by or before the deadline regardless of what we do.

NICK:  In a car trunk -- that kind of thing.

BRASS:  It's a form of passive murder if you want to be, uh...
'honest' about it.

JACK GARRIS:  Then you guys have got to move.

GRISSOM:  Mr. Garris ... it's my experience that, in situations like this if you 
want to go fast, go slow.

ROLL TITLE CREDITS

(COMMERCIAL SET)



FADE IN.

SCENE #02:

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE - BACK HALLWAY -- NIGHT]

(SARA walks cautiously into the hallway.  She looks at the security pad on the 
wall.)

SARA:  Get a picture of the security pad.  Someone touches it before it's 
dusted, I break their fingers.  

(SARA turns her head and works her way down the hallway.  The photographer/tech 
follows her.)

SARA:  Shoot the mirror, point of disturbance the lamp, point of disturbance ... 

(SARA puts an evidence marker on the mirror and she puts evidence marker #2 on 
the lamp on the floor.  The tech takes pictures of the security pad on the wall, 
then turns to take pictures of the mirror.)

(SARA looks up and sees something on the doorframe.  As she stares at it, NICK 
appears behind her also staring at the doorframe.  SARA turns around.)

SARA:  ... you're standing in my crime scene.

NICK:  No.  (he holds up the disk)  (beat)  You're in mine.

(NICK smiles and turns to walk out of the house.)

SARA:  (envious)  You're doing audio?  I wanted that.

NICK:  I outrank you.

SARA:  Technicality.  Who did Grissom handpick to work here?

(NICK chuckles dryly.)

NICK:  Keep telling yourself that.

(SARA turns back to look at the doorframe)

SARA:  (to the tech)  Get the lights, will you?

TECHNICIAN:  Got it.

(The TECHNICIAN turns the lights off.  SARA gets out her ALS and looks at the 
stuff on the doorframe.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #03:

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT]

(BRASS talks with JACK GARRIS.)

JACK GARRIS:  Shady friends?  No. Laura surrounds herself with quality people-- 
people of real substance.

(BRASS nods.)

BRASS:  Has her behavior changed recently -- drug use, alcohol, things like 
that?

JACK GARRIS:  (interrupts)  No, no, no, nothing like that.  

(BRASS doesn't say anything.  He stands up.)

JACK GARRIS:  She's a health nut -- we both are.

BRASS:  Uh-huh.

JACK GARRIS:  Look, I'm a rich man.  How do we let this guy know I'll pay?

BRASS:  We don't want to go there yet.

CUT TO:



SCENE #04:

[EXT. GARRIS RESIDENCE – SUV -- CURB -- NIGHT]

(NICK starts the car's engine.  GRISSOM leans in through the open passenger 
window to give NICK last minute instructions.)

GRISSOM:  Nick, tell lab to do a reverse algorithm on that tape and then get it 
into enhancement.

NICK:  I know what to tell the audio guy.

GRISSOM:  You've been a Level Three for what, two weeks?

NICK:  I got it under control.  

(GRISSOM stares at NICK and doesn't say anything.  NICK smiles.)

NICK:  Swear.  

(GRISSOM moves away from the window.)

NICK:  Later.

(NICK shifts the car into gear.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #05:

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE - BEDROOM]

(Camera opens on a broken picture frame on the floor next to evidence marker #6.  
A camera flashes.)

(GRISSOM walks into the bedroom.  SARA is standing at the dresser taking 
photographs.  GRISSOM walks in and looks around.)

SARA:  Cursory call -- looks like a professional job.  

(GRISSOM doesn't say anything.  He leans over to look at the various framed 
pictures on the tabletop.  SARA continues to call it.)

SARA:  (continuing)  Our guy bypasses the security system, surprises the wife in 
the back hall.  Drags her in here.  She grabs onto the doorway -- sign of 
struggle.  No sign of sexual assault.  He's in, they're out.  

(GRISSOM glances down and sees a smudge on the carpet.  It grabs his attention 
and he leans in low to examine it closely.)

SARA:  (continuing)  Probably ... egress through those doors.  Excuse me, is my  
evaluation interrupting you?

GRISSOM:  No, no, no.  I barely heard you.

SARA:  Glad I have a healthy ego.  You find something interesting there?

GRISSOM:  Dirt.

SARA:  You're ... so ... technical ... I can hardly keep up, but ...

GRISSOM;  Oh, sorry, but, uh ... out of context, it's ... just dirt.

CUT TO:



SCENE #06:

[EXT. GARRIS RESIDENCE - BACKYARD - NIGHT -- CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM steps through the open balcony doors and out into the backyard patio.  
SARA follows him.)

(He looks around.  SARA sniffs.)

SARA:  Did you just slap on bad cologne?

GRISSOM:  I never wear it.  It interferes with the job.

SARA:  It's almost sweet.

(GRISSOM sees something.)

GRISSOM:  Hmm.

(He finds a cloth on the ground.  He picks it up and smells it.  He offers it to 
SARA to smell.)

SARA:  Can't be chloroform.

GRISSOM:  Halothane, maybe.

SARA:  We'll confirm it in GC mass spec.

(SARA reaches into her bag for an evidence bag.)

GRISSOM:  "Looks like a professional job," I think you said.  

(SARA glances up at GRISSOM and smiles.)

GRISSOM:  Care to amend your evaluation?  I mean, if the guy forgets the rag he 
used to knock her out, he can't be much of a pro.

(He puts the cloth in the evidence bag SARA holds open for him.)

SARA:  (smiles)  I keep trying to be your star pupil.

GRISSOM:  Sara, that was a seminar.  This is real.  Pebbles, tile -- the front 
is all concrete.

SARA:  No dirt.  Context-- there is dirt on the carpeting inside.

GRISSOM:  In an otherwise spotless house.

SARA:  You're saying kidnapper tracked the dirt in.

GRISSOM:  Possible.  As of now, that's about all we have, so ... I guess we 
follow the dirt.

(GRISSOM walks past SARA and back into the house.  SARA looks up, shakes her 
head and smiles.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #07:

[EXT. RESIDENTIAL STREET -- NIGHT]

(Cameras flash.  The female in the body bag is covered and the bag zipped up.)

(Cut to:  The ambulance door closes and the vehicle drives off.)

CATHERINE:  How many hit-and-runs we had this year?

WARRICK:  Too many.  One thing I can't stand is a punk coward.

(CATHERINE looks down at the roadside and stares at the scooter that the little 
girl was riding.  It's on its side next to evidence marker #1 and a ruler.)

CATHERINE:  My daughter wants one of these scooters.  Says she's the only kid in 
the world who doesn't have one.

(CATHERINE steps up to the fallen scooter and kneels down next to it.  WARRICK 
looks at CATHERINE'S back.)

WARRICK:  You want me to take this case alone?

(CATHERINE turns around to look back up at WARRICK.)

CATHERINE:  You feeling all right, Warrick?

WARRICK:  Oh, I'm fine.  I'm ... I'm looking after you.  (He shakes his head.)  
It's that thing with Holly Gribbs.  

(CATHERINE stands up and looks at WARRICK.)

WARRICK:  It's made me think of who I am to my partners, you know?

CATHERINE:  So this is what-- your new leaf?

WARRICK:  (embarrassed, yet serious)  You keep on busting on me, you won't see 
any kind of leaf.

CATHERINE:  (smiles)  Hey, relax.  I'll play nice.  Thank you for the offer.  
I'm okay.  I can handle this one.  

(CATHERINE turns back to look at the scooter.  She kneels down next to it.)

CATHERINE:  It'd be nice if this paint transfer had just one special property.  
(beat)  You want to call it?

WARRICK:  (points)  Vehicle's humming down Rochester.  The vic was on her 
scooter, heading eastbound.  Car brakes here ...

(WARRICK points to the tire marks on the road next to evidence marker #3.)

WARRICK: ... impact here.  The vic was thrown -- what-- twenty meters?

CATHERINE:  And all we've got is some paint that's going to match up to about 20 
million other vehicles.

WARRICK:  (sighs)  Yeah.

CATHERINE:  Bastard.

CUT TO:



SCENE #08:

[INT. GARRIS RESIDENCE - FOYER -- NIGHT]

(JACK GARRIS heads out the front door.  He turns around to look at BRASS.)

JACK GARRIS:  Are you ordering me not to pay the ransom?

BRASS:  It's a very strong suggestion, yes.

(Behind BRASS, GRISSOM turns the corner and heads slowly toward the men.)

JACK GARRIS:  After you told me she could already be dead?  I don't believe you 
guys.  This is my wife.  I'm paying the ransom.

BRASS:  Look, if you give up the cash the kidnapper has no reason to communicate 
with us.

JACK GARRIS:  Does anyone on your team know where Laura is right now?

GRISSOM:  We have an entire forensics lab working on this.

JACK GARRIS:  Yeah?  Something tells me I'll see her before you do.

(And with that, JACK GARRIS walks out of the house with the money in a 
briefcase.)

BRASS:  Well, your job just got harder.

GRISSOM:  Yeah.

BRASS:  (sighs)  I'll stay close to the money.

(BRASS heads out the front door to follow JACK GARRIS.)

CUT TO:



[SCOPE VIEW OF THE DIRT]

GRISSOM:  (v.o.)  This dirt has interesting properties.



SCENE #09:

[INT. CSI - LAB -- NIGHT]

(SARA and GRISSOM are in the lab.  SARA is looking through the scope at the 
dirt.)

GRISSOM:  The gold flecks -- that's easy -- it's gold.  The little gray 
squiggles?  Cyanide.

(She looks up from the scope.)

SARA:  Cyanide?  He poisoned her?

GRISSOM:  No.  Did you know that Nevada produces 80% of the country's gold?  
Miners drop cyanide powder into the dirt and it draws the gold to the surface.

SARA:  And how does a bug specialist know so much about dirt?

GRISSOM:  I had a case five years ago.  We found a skeleton in an abandoned gold 
mine.  I thought it was a murder.  Turned out the guy passed out drunk and the 
cyanide leached into his system.

SARA:  Gruesome, Grissom.

GRISSOM:  You know, it's funny but every case teaches me something about the 
next.

SARA:  So when you said, "Follow the dirt"...?

GRISSOM:  Gold mine -- it's possible that's where he's got her.

SRA:  Great.  There's got to be 100 gold mines in Nevada.

GRISSOM:  True, but how many are near power lines within range of the drop zone?  
(He unrolls the map in front of him.)  Three.  (He points.)  One ... two ... 
three.

HARD CUT TO BLACK.

(COMMERCIAL SET)



FADE IN.

SCENE #10:

[INT. CSI - FORENSIC AUTOPSY -- NIGHT]

(DR. JENNA WILLIAMS uncovers the little girl.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  This is your hit-and-run victim.  Bad thing about this job 
is you stop asking yourself 'why'.  Here's the bruise I was telling you about.  

(She lifts up the blanket to show CATHERINE the bruise on the little girl's 
thigh.  CATHERINE leans in for a better look.)

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  You see it?

(WARRICK moves around to look at the bruise.)

(Quick flashback to:  The little girl screams.  The car impacts her on the 
thigh.  End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

CATHERINE:  (straightens)  Oh, my god.  Plate numbers.

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  From the license plate when it impacted her skin.

WARRICK:  Looks like a "four" and a "J."

CATHERINE:  Yeah.

WARRICK:  Not like he left us any evidence.

CATHERINE:  Call DMV.

WARRICK:  I'll get them to cross-check this partial within a five-mile radius 
see how many hits they come up with.  You'll have those pictures for me?

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Yep.

(WARRICK heads out of the autopsy room.)

CATHERINE:  I'll meet you out front.

WARRICK:  All right.

CUT TO:



SCENE #11:

[INT. HELICOPTER (MOVING) - OVER DESERT -- NIGHT]

(SARA and GRISSOM are sitting in the moving helicopter looking through a heat 
sensor.)

SARA:  Freaky.  Is that what I think it is?

GRISSOM:  It's a pack of coyotes.  The sensor picks up any form of body heat, 
two-legged or four-legged.

CUT TO:



[EXT. DRIVING RANGE - NIGHT]



SCENE #12:

[INT. BRASS' UNMARKED CAR - STREET ACROSS DROP POINT -- NIGHT - CONTINUOUS]

(BRASS sits in his car keeping his eye on the trash can just outside the driving 
range grounds.)

(He watches as a sports car drives up to the trash can.  JACK GARRIS gets out of 
the car with the bag full of money.  He looks around and walks toward the trash 
can.  He lifts up the lid and dumps the bag inside the trash can.)

NICK:  (o.s.)  Captain Brass. Hey.

(NICK opens the car door and gets inside the passenger seat, startling BRASS.)

BRASS:  Geez, you scared me.

NICK:  Sorry.  Sorry.  Grissom told me to hook up with you.  He says the drop 
place will be a crime scene.

BRASS:  We hope.

(BRASS turns to look outside just as JACK GARRIS gets back into his car.  He 
closes the door.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #13:

[INT. HELICOPTER (MOVING) -OVER DESERT -- NIGHT]

(The heat sensor tracks a coyote running across the desert.)

GRISSOM:  Come on, give us something

[INT. JIM BRASS' OFFICE - NIGHT]

(In CAPT JIM BRASS' office, GRISSOM takes a seat on the couch near the window, 
HOLLY remains standing in front of his desk.)

JIM BRASS:  (angry)  Well, congratulations, Gribbs.  You're the fifth person 
I've been forced to hire.  

HOLLY GRIBBS:  Well, that's not fair.

JIM BRASS:  Putting a juiced-in Lieutenant's daughter on the shift is fair?

CUT TO:



[INT. COFFEE SHOP - NIGHT]

HOLLY GRIBBS:  I'm fulfilling her dreams, not mine.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  I can sit here, and I can baby you and I can tell you to 
quit, but I'm not going to do that at least until you've solved your first, and 
if, after that, you don't feel like King Kong on cocaine, then you can quit.

CUT TO:



[INT. CSI - BRASS' OFFICE - MORNING]

JIM BRASS:  Grissom!

(GRISSOM, standing out in the hallway, turns and heads for the office.)

JIM BRASS:  Have Warrick shadow Gribbs for the next three weeks or until Nicky 
makes his 100th, whatever comes first.

WARRICK:  People walk every day because of you.

GIL GRISSOM:  That's enough.  Warrick, let's go!

officer here.

CUT TO:



[EXT. JUDGE COHEN'S HOUSE - NIGHT]

WARRICK BROWN:  I'm sorry, Judge.  Captain Brass wouldn't call you for a search 
warrant.  I got a whopper on the line with a 100 pound test.

JUDGE COHEN:  You got a winner for me?

WARRICK BROWN:  Favre.

JUDGE COHEN:  You put $5,000 down on the Pack for me I'll give you a blank

SCENE #01:

[INT. HOTEL CASINO - MAIN FLOOR -- NIGHT]

(The camera pans around the busy casino floor.)

(A Young Man and Young Woman hesitantly walk along the casino floor.  JAMIE 
spots the large $40 Million MegaMillion Jackpot sign.)

JAMIE:  Hey, look.  Oh, $40 million.  Could you imagine?

TED SALLENGER:  Never happen.  You got a better chance of going to the moon.

JAMIE:   Oh, give me a $20. Hurry!  I just got a premonition.

TED SALLENGER:  You got your own money. Go play.

JAMIE:   But I left my purse in the room.

(TED SALLENGER takes out a twenty, but doesn't give it to her.)

TED SALLENGER:  I'll play.  Wait here.

(He sighs and heads for the slot machine.)

CLERK:  (to TED)  Is this your slot card?

TED SALLENGER:  No.

(The CLERK takes the card and leaves.  TED looks over at JAMIE and without 
looking, turns the handle to the machine.  JAMIE cranes her neck from the side 
to see his results.)

(TED turns the handle again.)

TED SALLENGER:  Your little premonition has cost me $20.  Happy now?  Here.

(For a third time, TED turns the handle again.  Without even looking or waiting 
for it to stop, TED leaves the machine and heads back to JAMIE.)

TED SALLENGER:  (sarcastically)  Watch out.  Here come the millions.

(JAMIE watches as the machine stops on the three jackpot dollar signs.  She 
starts screaming with excitement.)

JAMIE:  (pointing and screaming)  Oh, my God! 

(Sirens start blaring.  JAMIE jumps into TED'S arms.)

(The sirens continue to blare and JAMIE screams.)

JAMIE:  We won!

CUT TO:



SCENE #02:

[INT. HOTEL MONACO - MAIN CASINO AREA - LATER]

(TED holds up a large check for $40,002,349.00 over his head.  JAMIE stands next

hand.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #03:

[INT. CORRIDOR - HOTEL MONACO -- NIGHT]

(ELIAS leads TED SALLENGER and JAMIE down the hallway toward their room.)

ELIAS TEMPLETON:    $40 million.  You'll be having lobster tonight.

(TED tries to put the card key in the lock, but can't do it.)

JAMIE:  (puts her arms around TED)  They gave us the presidential suite.  Can 
you believe it?

ELIAS TEMPLETON:  Here, Richard Gere, why don't you let me help you with that?

(ELIAS chuckles, then opens the room door.  The lock beeps and the door opens.)

TED SALLENGER:  Thank you.

(JAMIE rushes into the room.  TED takes the large promotional check from ELIAS 
and follows her inside.)

[INT. PRESIDENTIAL SUITE - NIGHT]

(JAMIE runs across the room for the balcony.  TED puts the fake check aside and 
takes off his t-shirt.)

JAMIE:  Oh! Look at our view!  

(JAMIE opens the balcony doors and looks outside.  TED joins her and stops 
behind her.)

JAMIE:  Wow!

[EXT. BALCONY - PRESIDENTIAL SUITE - NIGHT]

TED SALLENGER:  (quietly)  Take a hike.  

(JAMIE can't believe what she just heard.)

TED SALLENGER:  Get lost.

(She turns around to look at TED.)

JAMIE:  Excuse me?

TED:  Come on, Jamie.  I'm a millionaire now.  Now, why would I want to waste 
anymore time with you?

(There's a knock at the front door.  They both turn to look at the door.)

VOICE OUTSIDE:  (o.s.)  Room service?

SCENE #04:

[EXT. HOTEL MONACO - FRONT SIDEWALK - MORNING]

(GRISSOM approaches the scene.  He's on the phone.)

GIL GRISSOM:  (to phone)  All right, the minute you hear anything on Holly 
Gribbs's condition I want you to page me. 

(He ducks under the crime scene tape.)

GIL GRISSOM:  (to phone)  All right?  Bye.

(He hangs up.)

DISPATCHER:  (from b.g. radio)  ... Call back at 4-7-7 Desert Inn Road.

GIL GRISSOM:  So he pulled a "Louganis", huh?

DETECTIVE BARNS:  Yeah, 150 feet.  The giga-millions curse strikes again.  Past 
four winners ended up dead or missing.  What do you think, Grissom?  It's a 
conspiracy.

GIL GRISSOM:  Coincidence.  I worked those four cases.  There was never any 
evidence of foul play.  Was he in town with anybody?

DETECTIVE BARNS:  His girlfriend.  She's upstairs in police custody.  Do you 
want to talk to her?

GIL GRISSOM:  Not yet.  Right now, I want to talk to him.

DETECTIVE BARNS:  How do you talk to a dead body?

(GRISSOM moves in closer to the body and kneels down to look at it.)

GIL GRISSOM:  I let him talk to me, actually.  

(He pulls off his dark glasses and reaches out for something next to the body.)

GIL GRISSOM:  In fact, he just spoke.  Didn't you hear him?  He just told me 
that he didn't commit suicide.

(GRISSOM holds up a pair of broken glasses.)

DETECTIVE BARNS:  No. You-you lost me.

GIL GRISSOM:  This guy fell to his death wearing prescription eyeglasses.  
Jumpers take their glasses off.  Suicide is the ultimate form of selfishness, 
Detective.  It's unlikely that anyone cowardly enough to take his own life would 
be brave enough to watch his own death.

DETECTIVE BARNS:  (laughs)  You can tell all that just by looking at a pair of 
eyeglasses?

GIL GRISSOM:  You have no idea.

[INT. CSI -- RECEPTION AREA -- MORNING]

(GRISSOM walks in past the receptionist.  More out of habit, then really 
expecting anything, GRISSOM asks for his messages and continues walking past the 
receptionist.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Messages?

(Without a word, The Receptionist reaches for the stack of white telephone 
messages slips in front of her.  GRISSOM stops, surprised.  He takes them and 
leafs through them.  He heads on down the hallway.)

run the unit.

JIM BRASS:  You're the boss.  

(GRISSOM walks into the office.)

JIM BRASS:  I mean, I can't say I didn't do it to myself.

GIL GRISSOM:  Where are they going to place you?

JIM BRASS:  Homicide.  Believe that?

(He chuckles humorlessly.)

JIM BRASS:  Instead of moving up, I'm moving back in a time capsule, like it's 
1979 again.  So, I guess, this might put you and me at odds.

(BRASS picks up his box and starts toward the door.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Cop versus scientist.  Interesting, huh?

(BRASS stops and looks at GRISSOM.)

JIM BRASS:  (nods quietly)  Yeah.

(BRASS continues to head toward the door carrying his file box.)

GIL GRISSOM:  You got any advice for me?  

JIM BRASS:  Yeah, cover your ass ... and hide.  They're all yours, pal.

SCENE #07:

[TELEVISION SCREEN NEWS REPORT]

PAULA FRANCIS:  (on tv)  Tragedy struck early this morning when an on-duty Las 
Vegas Criminalist was brutally gunned down.  

[INT. CSI - BREAK ROOM - MORNING]

(CATHERINE and NICK stand in front of the television set watching the news 
report.)

PAULA FRANCIS:  (on tv)  It was her first night on the job.  Victim Holly Gribbs 
was investigating a robbery/homicide in an apartment on the corner of M.L.K. and 
Warm Springs.

(WARRICK sits off to the side.  He's also listening to the news report.)

PAULA FRANCIS:  (on tv)  The crime lab now faces the daunting task of 
investigating the shooting of one of their own.  The wounded C.S.I. has been 
taken to Desert Palm where she is listed in critical condition.  The suspect is 
still at large.  

NEWSCASTER (MALE):  (b.g.)  In other news ...

(CATHERINE turns around to look at WARRICK.  NICK also turns around.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Weren't you supposed to be shadowing Holly?

NICK STOKES:  Warrick, man, what happened?

WARRICK BROWN:  I left her to hook up with Grissom on that toenail case ... and 
then, I came back here.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  You left Holly solo?

WARRICK BROWN:  It was just supposed to be an easy print job.  Look, I feel bad 
enough, okay?

(The door to the break room opens and GRISSOM walks in.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Here's what we know.  Brass assigned Warrick to shadow Holly on a 
robbery.  

(GRISSOM heads for the coffee pot to pour himself a cup of coffee.  In his other 
hand, he holds the assignment sheets.)

GIL GRISSOM:  He left her at the scene.  The suspect returned and Holly was 
shot.  The sheriff phoned me earlier this morning.  Brass has been moved back to 
homicide.

NICK STOKES:  Who's going to run the unit?

GIL GRISSOM:  For now?  Me.  

(CATHERINE looks at GRISSOM.)

GIL GRISSOM:  (looking at CATHERINE)  I know.  We'll just play it by ear, okay?  

(GRISSOM turns his head to look at WARRICK and it's the first that we notice 
that WARRICK is standing way on the other side of the break room, separate from 
the others.)

GIL GRISSOM:  All right.  Last night, a jackpot winner took a swan dive off the 
Hotel Monaco about the time Holly was shot.  I'm going to work the leaper.  
Nick?

NICK STOKES:  (stands up)  Yes, sir.

GIL GRISSOM:  You work the Holly case.

(GRISSOM gives the assignment sheet to NICK.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Wait a minute.  Uh, you-you can't give him the Holly case.  
I mean, all due respect, Nick.  I want this one.

GIL GRISSOM:  Nicky is the only one that didn't have any personal contact with 
Holly.  I don't want you on this, Cath.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Why?

GIL GRISSOM:  Because you're emotionally involved.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Yeah. She was going to walk.  I convinced her to stay.  If 
anyone's to blame here, it's me, and I want this case.  

(CATHERINE grabs the assignment sheet from NICK.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Fire me.

GIL GRISSOM:  I'm not firing anybody.  Look. I know we're pulling a double.  
We're on edge 'cause of Holly.  I just want everyone to stay calm and to do 
their jobs for the next ten hours.  And as of now we're short of help.  So, I'm 
bringing in Sara Sidle to give us a hand.  

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Sara Sidle?

WARRICK BROWN:  Who's that?

GIL GRISSOM:  She's a CSI out of San Francisco.  She's a friend of mine, someone 
I trust.  She's going to handle our internal investigation and I want to keep 
this in-house.  I don't want I.A. Involved.

(NICK nods his head.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  (shakes her head)  Great, that's just what we need, somebody 
sniffing around.

(CATHERINE leaves the room.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Nicky, you can back me up on the D.B. at the Monaco.

(GRISSOM hands the second assignment sheet to NICK.)

NICK STOKES:  You got it.

GIL GRISSOM:  That's it.

(NICK glances up at WARRICK.  He doesn't say anything and leaves the room.)

WARRICK BROWN:  That's it?  What about me?

GIL GRISSOM:  You're on leave.  You get some personal time.

WARRICK BROWN:  I don't want any personal time.  I want to help.  You're the 
boss now.  You can reinstate me.

GIL GRISSOM:  Go home, Warrick.  Get your story straight before Sara gets here.

OFFICER:  What do you think happened here?

(CATHERINE looks around.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  First blush?

(Quick flashback to:  JERROD COOPER reaches for his gun tucked in the back waist 
band of his jeans.  In front of him, HOLLY GRIBBS turns and continues to dust 
for prints near the window.)

JERROD COOPER:  (muffled)  Don't move.

(HOLLY turns around at the intrusion.  She puts her hands up.)

HOLLY GRIBBS:  Hey, it's okay.  I'm not a cop.  I just ... I just analyze the 
scene.

(JERROD COOPER raises the gun and fires.  HOLLY falls down.  She hits the couch 
and the table, bringing the phone down to the floor with her.)

(HOLLY is on the floor.  She exhales.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

(CATHERINE picks up the gun on the floor and looks at it.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  This is Holly's gun.

It's been three weeks since my last jumper.  At least this one died a 
millionaire.

(GRISSOM manages to move the arm.  He looks at the markings on TED SALLENGER'S 
inner wrist.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Geez, these look like defensive wounds, maybe.

NICK STOKES:  Somebody came after this guy with something pretty sharp.

GIL GRISSOM:  You have any idea what it might be?

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Glass, maybe.  We found tiny shards in the incised wound.  

(She comes up behind GRISSOM and takes out a piece of glass from the wound to 
show GRISSOM.)

NICK STOKES:  Hey!  

(NICK kneels in front of the couch and holds a broken champagne bottle neck.  
GRISSOM walks over to take a look.)

NICK STOKES:  Defensive wounds.

GIL GRISSOM:  Champagne bottle.  Black glass.  I missed that.

(NICK stands up and looks at GRISSOM.)

NICK STOKES:  What do you think, boss?

GIL GRISSOM:  You're C.S.I. three, now.  You call it.

NICK STOKES:  What? You want me to play it blind?

GIL GRISSOM:  You've read the woman's statement.  The room is full of 
evidentiary clues.  

(GRISSOM backs away and takes a seat.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Talk it out.  What does the room say?

(NICK looks around.)

NICK STOKES:  Okay.  Well, according to the girlfriend's statement they were on 
the balcony when they had a lovers' quarrel.

(Quick flashback to:  TED and JAMIE are on the balcony arguing.)

TED SALLENGER:  Come on, Jamie.  I'm a millionaire now.  Now, why would I want 
to waste any more time with you?

TED SALLENGER:  Thank you.

BELL BOY:  You're welcome.

(TED SALLENGER calmly pours himself a glass of champagne.)

JAMIE:  (crying)  So what was I this whole time, huh?  Just someone to bang?

TED SALLENGER:  Yeah.

TED with the broken bottle.)

JAMIE:  He took off.  I cut him up pretty good.  He probably went to the lobby 
to fetch some first aid.

GIL GRISSOM:  And he never came back to the room?

JAMIE:  No.

GIL GRISSOM:  You sure?  The Presidential Suite at the Hotel Monaco is a secured 
room.  They keep a log.  Every time someone enters with a card key ...

JAMIE:  Well, if they keep a record check it for yourself.  Why are you 
bothering me?

GIL GRISSOM:  Nicky, what does the log say?

NICK STOKES:  Well, she's right.  The only entry I see here is when hotel 
security checked them in.

JAMIE:  Can I go now?

GIL GRISSOM:  Yes, ma'am.  

(JAMIE stands up and heads for the door.  She stops when NICK reaches over for 
the door knob to open the door for her.  JAMIE leaves the interview room.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Her story checks out.

(The door shuts.)

GIL GRISSOM:  She doesn't have any financial motive.  She was his girlfriend, 
not his wife.  Any money won by the deceased goes directly to the family estate.

NICK STOKES:  Well, if he didn't fall from his own balcony where else could it 
have happened?

GIL GRISSOM:  (to NICK)  You'll never get that off.  It's Meyer's roof dust.  
All the hotels use it now.  It diverts the sun's rays.  Keeps the utility bills

Let him fly.

The crowd cheers.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Norman "pushed".

GIL GRISSOM:  Norman "fell".

SARA SIDLE:  (o.s.)  Wouldn't you if you were married to Mrs. Roper?

her bag down on the ground, a huge grin on her face.)

GIL GRISSOM:  I don't even have to turn around.  Sara Sidle.

SARA SIDLE:  That's me.  Still tossing simulation dummies?  There are other ways 
to tell, you know?

GIL GRISSOM:  How? Computer simulation?  No thanks.  I'm a scientist I like to 
see it.  Newton dropped the apple, I drop dummies.

SARA SIDLE:  You're old school.

GIL GRISSOM:  Exactly.  And this guy was pushed.

(SARA'S faces changes, as she as talks about more serious issues.)

SARA SIDLE:  How's the girl?

SARA SIDLE:  That's too bad.

JUDGE COHEN:  So what are you breathing here for?  Get out there and get my 
money.

WARRICK BROWN:  Hey, look, a girl was shot on my watch 'cause I was doing you a 
favor.

JUDGE COHEN:  Hey, you came to me.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Let me guess ... Sara Sidle?

SARA SIDLE:  I know who I am.  I think you're a little confused.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  If you think you're taking my case ... forget it.

SARA SIDLE:  Look, we can stand here and argue ... or ... we can get out there

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Pager.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Found at the crime scene.

SURVEILLANCE DIRECTOR:  Sure.

make a little pit stop?  

(WARRICK doesn't say anything.)

SARA SIDLE:  Look at me.  Did you log on ... tell dispatch where you were going?

WARRICK BROWN:  Do you know how many times I've been left alone at a crime scene 
when I was a rookie?

SARA SIDLE:  Yeah, well, this time is different.

WARRICK BROWN:  Yeah, why's that?

SARA SIDLE:  Holly Gribbs died on the operating table twenty minutes ago.

(WARRICK turns to look at SARA, shocked by the news.  He's absolutely stunned.)

SCENE #23:

[INT. CSI -- HALLWAY DAY]

(SARA walks into the break room.  CATHERINE'S inside, leaning against the 
counter, her hands rubbing her temples.)

SARA SIDLE:  Mind if I get a soda?

(CATHERINE looks at SARA, puzzled by the request.  SARA indicates the 
refrigerator behind CATHERINE.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Oh, yeah. Sorry.

(CATHERINE moves.)

SARA SIDLE:  You want one?  

(SARA holds out the soda can.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Is there anything in there with alcohol?

SARA SIDLE:  Root beer.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  No.

(A pager beeps.  Both CATHERINE and SARA check their pagers.  The pager 
continues to beep.)

(CATHERINE grabs the bagged pager on the table, the one from the crime scene.  
She checks it.)

CATHERINE:  Oh ... god.

(CATHERINE scrambles to get her cell phone out.  SARA hands her the pager.  
CATHERINE dials.)

SARA SIDLE:  (smiles)  What are you going to say?  "Hi, I'm a Criminalist.  I 
was in the neighborhood ... "

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Shh. It's ringing.

INTERCUT WITH:

[THREE ACES MOTEL - ROOM 202]

JERROD COOPER:  (to phone)  Hello.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  (from phone)  Uh, hey.

JERROD COOPER:  Who's this?  I just dialed my own damn beeper.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Uh-uh. It's my beeper now.  I found it.

JERROD COOPER:  It ain't your beeper, girl.  It's mine.  

(SARA sits down and listens intently as CATHERINE talks on the phone.)

JERROD COOPER:  I do a lot of business on that beeper.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  What kind of business?

JERROD COOPER:  You know -- slinging a little something-something.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Oh, a little something-something.  Or maybe a little bling-
bling?

JERROD COOPER:  So what you know about some bling-bling?

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Well, invite me over to your crib, baby and you might find 
out.

JERROD COOPER:  It's on.  Three Aces Motel, Room 202.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Three Aces Motel, Room 202.

(She sighs expectantly.)

JERROD COOPER:  See you soon.

(CATHERINE smiles and hangs up.  She turns to SARA.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Did I just do that?

SARA SIDLE:  What's a "bling-bling"?

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Got me.

(SARA stands up.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #24:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM -- DAY]

(NICK and GRISSOM question RED CARLTON.)

RED CARLTON:  Yeah, I was up on that roof.  I didn't push him off.  I did talk 
to him, though.

NICK STOKES:  We know.  Hey, what did you drink?  Gin and tonic or amaretto 
sours?

RED CARLTON:  Amaretto sours.  How'd you know that?

NICK STOKES:  We got a record of the victim's room charges.  Chief.

GIL GRISSOM:  At 1:27 A.M.  Our victim, Ted Sallenger, made a couple of 
purchases in the gift shop--

(Quick flashback to:  TED SALLENGER grabbing his package and leaving the gift 
shop.)

GIL GRISSOM:  (v.o.)  ... band-aids and antiseptic.  At 1:40 A.M ...

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

GIL GRISSOM:  ... we tracked a purchase at the la promenade--

(Quick flashback to:  TED SALLENGER looking into the display window of the store 
and smiling.)

GIL GRISSOM:  (v.o.)  ... a $30,000 designer watch.  

(He walks into the store.)

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

GIL GRISSOM:  At 1:45 A.M., you both started knocking them back in the hotel 
bar.

(Quick flashback to:  TED SALLENGER at the bar admiring his new watch.)

TED SALLENGER:  Sweet.

(RED CARLTON walks up to TED SALLENGER.)

RED CARLTON:  Hey.  You won my money.

TED SALLENGER:  What?

RED CARLTON:  That was my machine.  I put everything I had in that machine.  

TED SALLENGER:  So you're a degenerate.  What do you want from me?  

(RED CARLTON turns to leave.  TED SALLENGER stops him.)

TED SALLENGER:  Hey, old timer, come on, sit down.  I'll buy you a drink for 
second place.  What are you having?  It's on me.

RED CARLTON:  It's on you?  All right.  In that case, I'll have a, uh ... 
Amaretto Sour.

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

NICK STOKES:  The first hour, you both drank tit for tat but by hour two, Ted 
started ordering doubles ... and you quit drinking.

GIL GRISSOM:  Drank decaf coffee instead.  My guess is that you were getting him 
lathered up for your little elevator ride.

(Quick flashback to:  TED SALLENGER and RED CARLTON appear in the hallway.)

TED SALLENGER:  Have a nice life, huh?  I know I will.

(TED laughs.  End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

GIL GRISSOM:  And from there, you went to the roof.

(Quick flashback to:  Camera close up of a man's foot close to the roof's edge.  
It's RED CARLTON.  He takes his glasses off and looks down.  He cries.  End of 
flashback.  Resume to present.)

RED CARLTON:  (cries)  I couldn't go through with it.  I'm a born failure.  I 
failed at my marriage; I failed at my work.  Then I couldn't even commit suicide 
right.  One pull away ... the story of my life.

GIL GRISSOM:  Mr. Carlton, we're not detectives.  We're crime scene analysts.  
We're trained to ignore verbal accounts and rely instead on the evidence a scene 
sets before us.  But I have to be honest with you, Red ... I believe you.  I do.  
(pause)  So ... here's what we're going to do:  You're going to stay here until 
we get back.  If you pushed this guy off the roof he will, without a doubt, have 
roof dust on his shoes.  If he does, we'll have you arrested for murder.  But if 
dust is not present, then you'll be free to go.

(RED CARLTON thinks about it.  He smiles a bit.)

RED CARLTON:  I like this guy.

(NICK looks at GRISSOM and smiles.)

SCENE #25:

[INT. THREE ACES MOTEL - SECOND FLOOR - ROOM 202 -- DAY]

(The OFFICERS clear out the motel rooms.  CATHERINE is standing on the stairway.  
BRASS rushes up the stairs and takes out his gun.  He cocks it as he passes 
CATHERINE.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  What are you doing here?

(BRASS turns around to look at CATHERINE.)

JIM BRASS:  Guilt therapy.

(BRASS leads the officers as they surround the door to room 202.  He hits the 
door with his foot.)

JIM BRASS:  Police officers! Open up!

(The OFFICER kicks the door in.)

(JERROD COOPER is lying on the bed.  He jumps out and heads for the window when 
the OFFICERS burst in through the door.)

OFFICER:  Get down.
OFFICER:  Hold him down on the ground!
OFFICER:  Put your hands behind your back!
OFFICER:  Get him down!

(The OFFICERS successfully apprehend JERROD COOPER.  CATHERINE walks in through 
the doorway.  The OFFICERS push JERROD COOPER face down into the bed.  He looks 
up and sees CATHERINE.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Now that's a bling-bling.

JERROD COOPER:  That was you on the phone?

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  (nods)  Yep.

(The OFFICERS get the handcuffs on him and push him toward the door.  As they 
pass CATHERINE, she notices something.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  Where'd you get that scratch?

(Camera close up of the scratch to his right eye.)

SARA SIDLE:  For a conviction, we're going to need a DNA sample.

JIM BRASS:  Okay, let's sit him down.  Let's get a saliva sample.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  (to radio)  Hey, guys, it's Catherine.

(Cut to:  WARRICK pulls out his radio and listens.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  (to radio)  For whoever is listening we got him.  Repeat. 
Holly Gribbs' suspect is in custody.

CUT TO:



SCENE #26:

[INT. "THE SPOT" - PARKING STRUCTURE - DAY -- CONTINUOUS]

(WARRICK puts the radio away as he walks around the parking structure toward 
JUDGE COHEN who is standing next to his parked car.)

(WARRICK hands the cash to JUDGE COHEN.)

WARRICK BROWN:  Ten Thousand.  See you around, Judge.

(WARRICK turns to leave.  JUDGE COHEN stops him.)

JUDGE COHEN:  You don't leave until I tell you to leave.

WARRICK BROWN:  What?  What are you going to do, hold me in contempt?

JUDGE COHEN:  You're already in contempt with me.  We're in bed, pal.  I own 
you.

WARRICK BROWN:  Nobody owns me.

JUDGE COHEN:  Yeah?  Let me tell you something.  You ever heard of a wolf in 
sheep's clothing?  You and me -- we're going to do business together whether you 
like it or not.  Keep your cell phone charged.

(JUDGE COHEN gets into his car and leaves WARRICK standing there.)

SCENE #27:

[INT. FORENSIC AUTOPSY - FORENSIC SCIENCE/LABORATORIES DIVISION - HALLWAY -- 
DAY]

(GRISSOM leans against the wall.  CATHERINE walks down the hallway toward him.  
She's carrying her kit.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  You didn't have to come.

GIL GRISSOM:  I know.  I wanted to.  In case you need me.

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  I probably do.  But this is something I'd rather do alone.

(CATHERINE walks past GRISSOM toward the door.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Fifteen seconds, you're in, you're out we make a DNA match and 
it's over, okay?

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  (nods)  Okay.

CUT TO:



SCENE #28:

[INT. FORENSIC AUTOPSY - FORENSIC SCIENCE/LABORATORIES DIVISION - DAY]

(Camera opens on the morgue cabinet label for "GRIBBS, HOLLY".  CATHERINE stares 
at the card.  She closes her eyes for a brief moment.)

(CATHERINE opens the cabinet door and pulls out the table.  She unzips the bag 
and reaches into her kit.  She takes HOLLY'S hand and gets the sample.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  (whispers)  I'm sorry.

CUT TO:



SCENE #29:

[INT. CSI - TEMPORARY EVIDENCE ROOM -- DAY]

(GRISSOM and NICK examine TED SALLENGER'S shoes.)

NICK STOKES:  Will the real Red Skelton please ... stand up?

GIL GRISSOM:  You're too young to remember who Red Skelton was.

NICK STOKES:  Hey, Nick at Nite.  You should check it out.  

(GRISSOM looks for dust.)

NICK STOKES:  No dust.  Great.

GIL GRISSOM:  I thought so.  Turns out he's red herring.  There's got to be 
something else.  

(GRISSOM cuts the envelope open and empties its contents on the table.  He 
examines the watch.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Nice watch.

(He sees something.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Look at this.  

(Camera zooms in to the fibers caught in the watch.)

GIL GRISSOM:  These look like fibers.

NICK STOKES:  Yeah. You think he was dragged?

GIL GRISSOM:  Maybe.

NICK STOKES:  Well, I'll go back to the Presidential Suite ... take a swatch of 
the carpet, see if we can match the fibers.

GIL GRISSOM:  Get a hold of the girl while you're at it.

NICK STOKES:  Why, is she a suspect?

GIL GRISSOM:  She is now.

(NICK nods and leaves the room.  GRISSOM continues to examine the watch.)

SCENE #30:

[INT. CSI - FORENSIC AUTOPSY -- ROOM A -- DAY]  

(GRISSOM walks into the room.)

GRISSOM:  All right.  What do you have?

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Hey. I thought you might like to see this.

(She shows him the mark on TED SALLENGER'S head.)

GIL GRISSOM:  What the hell is that?

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  I found it after I shaved his head.  Something hard with a 
diamond insignia on the back.  You find that, I bet you find your killer.

GIL GRISSOM:  Was this first blow?

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  First and fatal.  Crushed his skull.  So he was killed, 
then he was pushed.

DR. JENNA WILLIAMS:  Without a doubt.

CUT TO:



SCENE #31:

[INT. CSI - BREAK ROOM / DNA LAB -- DAY]

(SARA and CATHERINE are sitting in the break room.)

SARA SIDLE:  Nicorette?

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  No, thanks.  Got my own.

(GREG SANDERS opens the door to his lab and calls out to CATHERINE.)

GREG SANDERS:  Boss, your DNA results are back.  

(CATHERINE and SARA stand and rush into the DNA lab.  GREG looks at the 
results.)

GREG SANDERS:  Well, according to my DNA data the types are 814 quadrillion to 
one that your suspect is our killer.

SARA SIDLE:  Pretty good stats! Whoo!

CATHERINE:  Yeah, considering there's only about six billion people in the world 
... ah, thanks.

(CATHERINE looks at the results, shakes her head and sighs.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  She gave me just enough ... just enough to catch him.

(Quick flashback to:  JERROD COOPER advances into the room, the gun in his hand 
and pointed at HOLLY GRIBBS.)

JERROD COOPER:  Don't move!

(HOLLY turns around and raises her hands.)

HOLLY GRIBBS:  Hey, hey, it's okay.  I'm not a cop.  I just ... I just analyze 
the scene.  This is my first day.  Believe me, I'm-I'm no threat.  

(Cut to:  HOLLY rips the phone out of the wall.  She holds it out to JERROD 
COOPER.)

HOLLY GRIBBS:  Um, look ... phone with your prints on it?  Here, take it.  Okay? 
Here.

(His pager beeps.  He's distracted for a moment and looks down.  HOLLY uses it 
and throws the phone at JERROD.  She hits him and he drops his gun.  He goes for 
her gun.  They struggle.)

CATHERINE WILLOWS:  (v.o.)  but she held on long enough to give us a clue.

(HOLLY reaches up and scratches him in the eyes.  He yells.  He manages to get 
her gun.  He takes a couple steps back, aims and fires.)

(JERROD drops HOLLY'S gun, he grabs his gun and runs.  HOLLY looks up and pushes 
JERROD'S pager under the couch.  Camera holds on HOLLY GRIBBS.)

fibers from the carpet.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #33:

[INT. HOTEL MONACO - PRESIDENTIAL SUITE -- DAY]

(GRISSOM walks into the room and puts his kit down.  He sees the large square 
cut out in the middle of the room.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Nice swatch, Nick.  Pizza box-sized.

(GRISSOM looks around and sees something.  One of the candlestick holders has a 
card suit symbol on each of its sides.  He picks it up.  He smiles.)

(GRISSOM walks over to the balcony doors and puts his kit down.  He opens it and 
takes out the luminol.  He sprays the carpet in front of the balcony and finds 
the blood stains.)

(GRISSOM'S phone rings.  He answers it.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Grissom.  

NICK STOKES:  (from phone)  It's Nick.  I just finished the carpet swatch 
comparisons.  Got a match.

GIL GRISSOM:  I'm starting to get that feeling, Nicky, my boy.

NICK STOKES:  (from phone)  Yeah, so am I.

GIL GRISSOM:  Listen, I'll meet you at the interrogation.  I still got one more 
thing I want to check.

NICK STOKES:  (from phone)  Okay. Bye.  

(GRISSOM hands up.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #34:

[INT. HOTEL MONACO - HALLWAY IN FRONT OF PRESIDENTIAL SUITE - ROOM 1227 - DAY - 
CONTINUOUS]

(GRISSOM opens the door and shows the card key to ELIAS.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Okay, I'm ready to try this now.

ELIAS TEMPLETON:  (to radio)  Stand by, house.

(With the door open, GRISSOM puts the card key into the lock, then closes the 
door.  He opens the door and removes the card key.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Did your security log record that?

ELIAS TEMPLETON:  (to radio)  You guys get that?  (to GRISSOM)  No.  Well, I'll 
be damned.  The curse.  Hell, I ain't playing those machines no more.  It's 
true.  You win, you die.

(GRISSOM takes his things out of the room and hands the card key to ELIAS.  He 
walks down the hallway.)

GIL GRISSOM:  (under his breath)  Gotcha.

CUT TO:



SCENE #35:

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM -- DAY]

(GRISSOM and NICK interview JAMIE again.)

JAMIE:  Got me with what?

GIL GRISSOM:  Capital murder.

JAMIE:  Oh, are you kidding me?

GIL GRISSOM:  I never kid about murder.  What do you think, Nick?  My turn to 
play it "blind"?

(Quick flashback to:  TED SALLENGER and RED CARLTON walk into the hallway after 
their drinks at the bar.)

TED SALLENGER:  Hey, Red, have a nice life, huh?  (laughs)  I know I will.

(TED staggers down the hallway toward his room.)

(Cut to:  TED uses the card and tries to open the door.  He's not too 
successful.  JAMIE rushes up to the door carrying the candlestick holder.  She 
peeks in through they peep hole.)

TED SALLENGER:  What the ... ?  What the hell's with this thing?

(TED still has problems with the card key.  JAMIE jerks the door open and TED 
stumbles into the room.  She hits him on the head with the candlestick.  He 
falls to the floor.)

(Quick flash to:  JAMIE drags TED across the room toward the balcony.)

GIL GRISSOM:  (v.o.)  Now, the funny thing is if Ted didn't come back to the 
room then why were presidential carpet fibers found in the band of his brand-new 
watch?  'Cause he did come back.  

(JAMIE drags TED across the room floor.)

(Cut to:  JAMIE cleans the carpet.)

GIL GRISSOM:  (v.o.)  And you do the smart thing:  After you throw him over the 
balcony you cleaned up the crime scene.  You left blood-soaked towels in plain 
sight.  Your alibi? The blood came from Ted's forearms.

(End of flashback.  Resume to present.)

GIL GRISSOM:  How am I doing so far, Nicky?

NICK STOKES:  Yeah, I'm into it.

GIL GRISSOM:  According to your statement, you felt slighted 'cause Ted had just 
won $40 million and dumped you within half an hour giving you motive enough to 
kill him and you exercised that motive.

(Without saying a word, JAMIE holds out her wrists for them to cuff.  GRISSOM 
looks at her, then heads for the door to get an OFFICER.)

(NICK leans forward.)

NICK STOKES:  Can I ask you a question?

JAMIE:  Sure.

NICK STOKES:  How are you so cool?  You took someone's life.  Don't you care?

JAMIE:  No.

(GRISSOM opens the door and calls out to the OFFICER outside.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Deputy, we're going to have her arrested.

JAMIE:  (to GRISSOM)  So, could I ask you a question?

GIL GRISSOM:  Maybe.

JAMIE:  All that stuff you rattled off.  How'd you know about all that?

GIL GRISSOM:  Your boyfriend told me.

(The door closes behind them.)

CUT TO:



SCENE #36:

[INT. HALLWAY -- DAY]

(WARRICK sits alone in the hallway.  GRISSOM and NICK walk down the hallway.  
GRISSOM sees WARRICK.)

GIL GRISSOM:  (to NICK)  I'll see you outside, okay?

(NICK leaves.  GRISSOM approaches WARRICK.  He sits down next to him.)

GIL GRISSOM:  They say I have to let you go.  You violated the policies and 
procedures for clearing a scene.  I read Sara's report.

WARRICK BROWN:  I know.  I messed up.  And Holly's dead.  

(WARRICK reaches for his gun and badge and hands them to GRISSOM.)

WARRICK BROWN:  I'm sorry, Gil.

GIL GRISSOM:  I'm sorry, too.  I don't want to do this.

WARRICK BROWN:  You got to.  You know where I was?

GIL GRISSOM:  I think I have a  pretty good idea.

WARRICK BROWN:  I went to lay a bet.  I didn't even think I was doing anything 
wrong.  Never occurred to me.

GIL GRISSOM:  It never occurred to me, either.

(GRISSOM stands up and stands in front of WARRICK.)

GIL GRISSOM:  You know what?  If I let you go I got to let me go, too.  (beat)  
And Catherine ... and Brass.  We're all culpable in this.  (beat)  I don't care 
what the book says.  I lost one good person today.  I don't want to lose 
another-- here.

(GRISSOM hands WARRICK back his gun and badge.  WARRICK looks at them, takes 
them and stands up.)

WARRICK BROWN:  I won't let you down again.

CUT TO:



SCENE #37:

[EXT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - PARKING LOT - DAY]

(All the CSIs are standing in the parking lot under the hot sun.  NICK looks up 
and signals to CATHERINE.)

(BRASS walks outside with JERROD COOPER in handcuffs.  He looks up at all the 
CSIs standing there and walks JERROD COOPER to the vehicle where they both get 
inside.)

(The Vehicle drives off, past them.)

GIL GRISSOM:  Let's go home.

(One by one, they leave.  Camera holds on WARRICK as he lingers.)

TED SALLENGER: Mets ton argent, joue, vas-y !

LA JEUNE FEMME : J’ai oublié mon sac dans ma chambre.

TED SALLENGER: D’accord, tu restes là et tu me laisses faire…

LA CAISSIERE : C’est à vous la carte ?

TED SALLENGER: Non… (à la jeune femme). Ta petite prémonition m’a coûté 20 $, tu es contente maintenant ? Tiens… Attention chérie, voilà tes millions de dollars !!!

LA JEUNE FEMME (voyant qu’elle a gagné) : AH !!!!!

GIL GRISSOM (au téléphone) : Dès que vous avez des nouvelles de l’état de santé de Holly Gribbs quelqu’elle soit, vous me prévenez, merci… (à un policier) Alors, il a fait le grand saut ?

LE POLICIER : Oui, presque 20 mètres. C’est la malédiction des millionnaires, ça fait le 5e gagnant qui meurt ou qui disparaît, à votre avis ça peut être un complot ?

GIL GRISSOM : C’est une coïncidence, j’ai étudié les 4 autres cas, il n’y a pas de preuves de tricherie avec les machines. Il était venu avec quelqu’un ?

LE POLICIER : Sa petite amie, elle est en haut sous surveillance de la police, vous voulez lui parler ?

GIL GRISSOM : Pas encore. Pour l’instant c’est à lui (désignant le mort) que je veux parler.

LE POLICIER : Comment vous faîtes pour parler à un mort ?

GIL GRISSOM : Eh bien je dirais plus tôt que c’est moi qui l’écoute. Vous voyez, là il vient de s’exprimer, vous avez entendu ? (ramassant des lunettes) Là il vient de me dire qu’il ne s’est pas suicidé.

LE POLICIER : Là j’avoue que je ne vous suis pas.

GIL GRISSOM : Ce type là a trouvé la mort avec ses lunettes correctrices. S’il s’était suicidé, il les aurait enlevé. Le suicide est considéré comme une forme ultime de l’égoïsme et quelqu’un qui est assez lâche pour mettre fin à ses jours n’est vraisemblablement pas assez courageux pour regarder la mort en face.

LE POLICIER : Et vous arrivez à me dire tout ça en voyant simplement une paire de lunettes ?

GIL GRISSOM : Ah si vous saviez…

GIL GRISSOM : Et ils vont vous mettre où ?

JIM BRASS : à la crim’, vous vous rendez compte ? Au lieu d’avancer comme tout le monde, je me retrouve à la case départ et je ne touche pas 20000 balles… ce qui va certainement nous mettre tous les deux à égalité.

GIL GRISSOM : La police contre la science, mm… c’est passionnant.

UNE JOURNALISTE (à la télévision) : Une jeune criminaliste a été brutalement abattue très tôt ce matin en pleine ville de Las Vegas alors qu’elle était en service. C’était la première nuit que la victime dénommée Holly Gribbs passait à ce poste. La tragédie a eu lieu alors qu’elle procédait à des recherches sur un cambriolage dans un appartement de Worm Spring. Le laboratoire de la police a maintenant pour tâche d’effectuer une enquête sur cette tentative d’homicide. La jeune femme oficiée de police scientifique avait été conduite à Desert Palm, son état est considéré comme très critique, le suspect n’a pas encore été retrouvé…

CATHERINE WILLOWS (à Warrick) : Tu ne devais pas la protéger ?

NICK STOKES (à Warrick) : Enfin qu’est-ce qui s’est passé ?

WARRICK BROWN : Bah je l’ai laissé, elle pouvait appeler Grissom, ce n’était pas difficile… et puis je suis revenu ici.

CATHERINE WILLOWS : Et tu l’as laissé toute seule ?

WARRICK BROWN : ça devait être un simple relevé d’empreintes… c’est pas la peine d’en rajouter, d’accord ! Je me sens assez mal comme ça.

GIL GRISSOM (qui vient d’entrer dans la pièce) : Ce qu’on sait pour l’instant c’est que Brass avait chargé Warrick de la chaperonner sur un cambriolage… il a quitté les lieux, le suspect est revenu et Holly a été gravement blessée. Le shérif m’a appelé tôt ce matin, Brass a été muté à la criminelle.

NICK STOKES : Alors qui va diriger notre unité ?

GIL GRISSOM : Pour l’instant ? moi… Je sais, on va improviser, on est obligé… Bon, hier soir un gagnant du Jack-pot a fait un grand plongeon depuis l’hôtel Monaco et je prévois de m’occuper personnellement de cette affaire. Nick ?

NICK STOKES : Oui monsieur ?

GIL GRISSOM : Prenez le dossier Gribbs.

CATHERINE WILLOWS : Non, attendez euh… non ce dossier là pas à Nick. Excuse-moi Nick mais, ce dossier je le veux.

GIL GRISSOM : Nick est le seul qui n’ait pas eu de contact avec Holly, je ne veux pas que vous vous en occupiez.

CATHERINE WILLOWS : Pourquoi ?

GIL GRISSOM : Parce que vous êtes impliqué émotionnellement.

CATHERINE WILLOWS : ça oui, elle voulait partir, je l’ai convaincu de rester ! Si quelqu’un est responsable c’est moi et je veux ce dossier ! Virez-moi !

GIL GRISSOM : Non, je ne vire personne, je sais que tout le monde est troublé à cause de ce qui est arrivé à Holly et ce qui est important, c’est que nous restions calme pendant les 10 heures à venir… et j’ai pensé qu’il nous fallait du renfort… alors j’ai demandé à Sara Sidle de venir nous aider.

CATHERINE WILLOWS : Sara Sidle ?

WARRICK BROWN : Qui est-ce ?

GIL GRISSOM : Elle est de l’identité judiciaire de San Francisco, c’est aussi une amie, une personne de confiance. Elle sera chargée de toute l’enquête interne, je ne veux pas que l’IGPN soit alertée et se mêle de l’enquête.

CATHERINE WILLOWS (pas enthousiaste) : Formidable… c’est ce qu’il nous fallait, une personne qui fouine partout.

GIL GRISSOM : Nick vous pouvez m’aider pour l’affaire du Monaco.

NICK STOKES : Entendu.

GIL GRISSOM : C’est tout. (Catherine et Nick ont quitté la pièce.)

WARRICK BROWN : C’est tout ? … et pour moi ?

GIL GRISSOM : Pour vous c’est repos. Vous allez prendre un congé.

WARRICK BROWN : Je ne veux pas prendre de congé je veux vous aider ! … C’est vous le chez maintenant, vous pouvez me reprendre.

GIL GRISSOM : Rentrez chez vous Warrick et profitez-en pour mettre au clair votre version.

LA LEGISTE : Il est tellement rigidifié qu’on dirait le bras d’une machine à sou. Mon dernier suicidé-sauteur date d’il y a trois semaines, celui là au moins il est mort millionnaire.

GIL GRISSOM (forçant sur le bras pour le bouger) : Ah ! On dirait qu’il s’est blessé en se défendant.

NICK STOKES : Il s’est fait frapper avec quelque chose de pointue, je me trompe ?

GIL GRISSOM : Vous avez une idée de ce que ça peut être ?

LA LEGISTE : Du verre probablement. On a retrouvé des petits éclats dans la blessure. Regardez…

GIL GRISSOM : Ce n’est pas simplement du verre, c’est du verre noir (Gros plan sur un éclat).

GIL GRISSOM : Une bouteille de champagne bien sûr, c’est ça le verre noir.

NICK STOKES : … alors chef ?

GIL GRISSOM : Il n’est jamais revenu dans la chambre ?

LA JEUNE FEMME : Non !!

GIL GRISSOM : Vous en êtes sûre ? A l’hôtel Monaco il y a des chambres sécurisées et vous étiez dans une de ces chambres. Quand une personne entre, un système enregistre son passage avec la carte…

LA JEUNE FEMME (coupant Grissom) : Eh bien s’il enregistre tout, allez donc vérifier vous même ! Pourquoi vous me cassez les pieds ?!

GIL GRISSOM : … Nick, que dit l’enregistrement ?

NICK STOKES : Elle a raison, la seule entrée que je lis là-dessus c’est quand on les a conduit dans la chambre.

LA JEUNE FEMME : Je peux me casser maintenant ?!

GIL GRISSOM : Oui madame… (elle sort) Son histoire tient debout. Elle n’a pas de motif financier, c’était sa petite-amie pas sa femme. La somme gagnée va aux ayant-droits de la personne décédée.

SARA SIDLE : Et Holly Gribbs ?

GIL GRISSOM : Elle est encore au bloc, il y a peu d’espoir.

SARA SIDLE : … c’est terrible…

WARRICK BROWN : Il y avait un agent en faction.

SARA SIDLE : Donc vous vous sentiez libre de partir. Vous devez connaître la procédure qui permet de quitter son poste ?

WARRICK BROWN : Ouais…

SARA SIDLE : Alors pourquoi êtes vous quand même parti ? qu’est ce qu’il y avait de si urgent pour que vous partiez ?

WARRICK BROWN : Je l’ai dit tout à l’heure… je voulais boire un café.

SARA SIDLE : C’était avant ou après avoir fait vos paris ? … Dimanche, Las Vegas, un match de football, des gens qui jouent et vous, vous ne vous seriez pas arrêtez pour parier sur la bonne équipe ? … Regardez-moi… est-ce que vous avez prévenu le central ? est-ce que vous avez dit où vous alliez ?

INTERIEUR – BUREAU DE CRIMINALISTIQUE – SALLE D’INTERROGATOIRE – FIN DE JOURNEE

GIL GRISSOM : Ce qui est curieux c’est que si Ted n’est pas revenu dans la chambre, pourquoi avons nous retrouvé les fibres de la moquette sur sa montre toute neuve ? Parce que justement il est revenu et vous avez fait un truc astucieux : après l’avoir jeté par dessus le balcon, vous avez tout nettoyé, vous avez laissé bien en vue les serviettes pleines de sang votre alibi, le sang provenait des avant-bras de Ted. Ça va jusque là Nick ?

NICK STOKES : Je vous suis.

GIL GRISSOM : Selon votre déclaration vous vous êtes sentie atteinte parce que Ted, qui venait de gagner 40 millions de dollars, vous a plaqué dans la demi-heure, vous donnant une bonne raison de le tuer. Vous aviez donc un excellent mobil…

NICK STOKES : … Je peux vous poser une question ?

LA JEUNE FEMME AVEC TED : J’écoute.

GIL GRISSOM : J’ai une petite idée.

WARRICK BROWN (en colère contre lui même) : Je suis allé parier… j’ai même pas pensé que je faisais une erreur, ça ne m’est même venu à l’esprit !

GIL GRISSOM : Je ne l’aurais pas imaginé non plus… En fait, si je vous fais partir, alors je dois m’en aller aussi… et puis Catherine, Brass, on est tous coupable dans cette histoire.
