00:00:01,267 --> 00:00:05,338
( rock music playing )

2
00:00:30,770 --> 00:00:36,110
You're late. Thursday night traffic on the Strip. Every night traffic on the Strip. We're on a deadline. Let's go.

3
00:00:42,492 --> 00:00:47,660
( siren wailing ) Man versus gravity.

4
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:50,330
Man lost.

5
00:00:51,020 --> 00:00:52,400
I think that was his point.

6
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:54,410
Hello, Bob. Hey, Brian.

7
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,810
Grissom, what are you doing here?

8
00:00:57,110 --> 00:01:00,110
What do you think? I didn't alert homicide.

9
00:01:00,470 --> 00:01:04,760
Dispatch called. The body's on County property. Well, we're not looking at a crime here.

10
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:14,330
Bob explained it to me on the phone. His guy was alone up there. He jumped. This is suicide. Then why are you here, Sheriff?

11
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,540
Look, Roger Valenti was an unhappy guy.

12
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,090
Money problems, family problems.

13
00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:21,650
He took the easy way out.

14
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:25,340
It's a tragedy, but it is not a crime.

15
00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:27,560
Suicide, huh?

16
00:01:28,580 --> 00:01:34,280
I don't know, Brian. On the day you decide to end your life why would you go to work?

17
00:01:34,756 --> 00:01:38,326

18
00:01:42,740 --> 00:01:43,670
Who... are you?

19
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:46,280
Who, who, who, who?

20
00:01:47,780 --> 00:01:49,250
Who... are you?

21
00:01:50,900 --> 00:01:51,860
Who, who, who, who?

22
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:54,470
I really wanna know

23
00:01:59,690 --> 00:02:00,500
Who... are you?

24
00:02:00,770 --> 00:02:07,396
Oh-oh-oh Who... Come on, tell me who are you, you, you Oh, you!

25
00:02:11,030 --> 00:02:18,800
SHERIFF: 1,400 new beds means 1,400 criminals off the street. That old jail's maxed.

26
00:02:19,070 --> 00:02:28,730
Prison population's increased by ten percent in one year. If this place isn't built soon, you do the math. You look like the Sheriff, but you talk like the Mayor.

27
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:38,750
Mr. Harris, you get an extra bonus for early completion? 20 grand a day. I'm ten days ahead. Wow, $200,000. You must work your guys pretty hard, huh?

28
00:02:48,530 --> 00:02:57,380
GRISSOM: Where exactly was Valenti's work station? He had the whole floor to himself. Valenti was usually my first guy up. HE would drill the holes for the safety cables.

29
00:02:58,430 --> 00:03:02,480
No one walks a new slab until the cables are looped around the perimeter.

30
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:16,730
Terminal velocity's 9.8 meters per second, squared. He would've hit the ground in under five seconds.

31
00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:25,028
( distant siren wailing ) ( tapping lightly )

32
00:03:56,690 --> 00:04:01,250
Did this belong to Mr. Valenti? Well, like I said he was the only one up here.

33
00:04:04,730 --> 00:04:06,590
This drill is shorted out.

34
00:04:07,220 --> 00:04:10,760
Do you think he "jumped" before or after he got the shock of his life?

35
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:19,700
GFCI would have prevented shock. What is GFCI? A ground fault circuit interrupter. Big words meaning you won't get electrocuted.

36
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:27,770
You see, if there's an electrical imbalance then the GFCI trips the circuit. and the tool is supposed to shut itself off.

37
00:04:32,090 --> 00:04:36,950
But if the third prong of the plug is compromised, the interrupter won't work.

38
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:44,900
Will it, Bob? The third prong grounds the drill. Without it, the interrupter's useless. These prongs don't usually snap off by themselves.

39
00:05:03,620 --> 00:05:06,200
Are all your workers this careless with their tools?

40
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:12,560
SHERIFF: You mind telling me what you're doing?

41
00:05:12,830 --> 00:05:24,740
These cutters may have been used to tamper with the grounding prong. What happened to good old-fashioned dusting for prints? When your crime scene is 12 stories up... I don't want to take any chances.

42
00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:29,390
I'm going to lock in these prints.

43
00:05:37,066 --> 00:05:44,060
( hissing ) Hey, O'Riley, we got the 419.

44
00:05:44,810 --> 00:05:48,170
Dylan Buckley-- 14 years old.

45
00:05:52,290 --> 00:05:54,350
O'RILEY: Paramedics pronounced.

46
00:05:54,650 --> 00:05:56,210
Coroner's on his way.

47
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,720
Was he home alone?

48
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:03,440
Not alone. And not his home.

49
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,800
Catherine Willows, Nick Stokes, Crime Lab.

50
00:06:10,460 --> 00:06:14,090
Dr. Leigh Sapien. This is her residence. WILLOWS: Oh, good.

51
00:06:14,750 --> 00:06:35,480
Then you can fill us in. We were in the middle of a session. You're a therapist? Psychiatrist. And why were you seeing Dylan? Doctor-patient privilege. Privilege doesn't extend post-mortem. We can always get a warrant to get your records. No need. Dylan suffered from reactive attachment disorder. Issues with his mother. I'd been treating him for 16 months.

52
00:06:35,851 --> 00:06:36,950
It's 10:00 at night.

53
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:49,670
Is this your home? I see my patients whenever they need me. On weekends, at night, at the office or here. Why don't you just tell us what happened? Dylan had an argument with his mother. He needed to unload.

54
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:56,780
He was complaining about his curfew blaming his mother for problems at school. Suddenly he began to convulse.

55
00:06:59,210 --> 00:07:03,110
I tried to stabilize his head but it was a grand mal seizure.

56
00:07:05,420 --> 00:07:07,010
Dylan was an epileptic.

57
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:08,570
He hit his head.

58
00:07:08,990 --> 00:07:11,270
And when the convulsions stopped he was dead.

59
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:18,110
Did you try to revive him? Of course. Standard CPR. Cleared his airway worked his chest.

60
00:07:21,980 --> 00:07:27,260
Uh, I take it this wasn't his first convulsion. He was diagnosed with epilepsy at age three.

61
00:07:28,650 --> 00:07:30,170
Well, what are you doing?

62
00:07:31,130 --> 00:07:33,680
Catherine, we need to get a tape lift here, please.

63
00:07:39,710 --> 00:07:42,050
Look, I dialed 911.

64
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,120
I'm not hiding anything.

65
00:07:45,110 --> 00:07:48,080
Well... I can see that.

66
00:07:57,290 --> 00:08:01,250
Quick. Name three human bones that can withstand a 12-story drop.

67
00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:08,119
Bones of the inner ear. Malleus, incus, stapes. High cellular density completely protected by the skull. Why?

68
00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:11,300
They appear to be the only bones not fractured or broken.

69
00:08:11,540 --> 00:08:25,490
I want to see the entry and exit wounds. Gil, he wasn't shot. This is the guy that fell off the new jailhouse. Are we talking about the same case here? He fell after he was electrocuted. News to me. I didn't find any physical evidence of electrocution. Faulty drill.

70
00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:28,670
There should be burn marks on one of his palms.

71
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,020
ROBBINS: Negative on the burn marks.

72
00:08:34,010 --> 00:08:43,220
In most electrocution cases, capillaries rupture hemoglobin leaks into the perivascular tissue. Right. Creating a fern-like pattern on the chest.

73
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:51,950
His body contradicts your crime scene.

74
00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:56,120
I don't care what his body says. This guy was electrocuted. It was not an accident.

75
00:09:10,340 --> 00:09:24,920
What? I don't know what I'm looking for. Signs of charring or melting. You've done this before. Yeah, but we always go back to the body. The body tells the story. And in this case, the body says there was no crime, and you're not listening.

76
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:34,610
Why? Every now and then, we have to break the rules. Start with a conclusion and work our way backwards. Like, for instance when we don't agree with the coroner's report?

77
00:09:34,910 --> 00:09:56,510
Like for instance in the 1800s when surgery was Russian roulette and the patients were dying on the tables. Germs. Until Louis Pasteur theorized that something we could not see-- microscopic organisms-- were attacking the patients. Relevance? Bodies tell us stories because we interpret them the way our predecessors taught us to. Just because we don't see something we're supposed to see doesn't mean that it's not there.

78
00:10:09,470 --> 00:10:10,880
Wires are crossed.

79
00:10:12,260 --> 00:10:14,150
Polarity's been reversed.

80
00:10:16,970 --> 00:10:20,150
This confirms that someone tampered with Valenti's drill.

81
00:10:23,420 --> 00:10:26,930
The rubber soles of his boots should have protected him from electrical shock.

82
00:10:27,980 --> 00:10:32,210
That's why you're safe in a car during a lightning storm. You're insulated by the rubber tires.

83
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:43,490
Rubber's an insulator but metal's a conductor. What form of metal hides in plain view at a construction site?

84
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:50,750
A nail.

85
00:11:00,170 --> 00:11:01,550
SIDLE: Hey. Hey.

86
00:11:01,820 --> 00:11:11,360
How's that palm print Grissom got off those cutters? Good. I'm running it through AFIX right now. The good thing is that the jailhouse is a union gig and all the union guys are already in the database.

87
00:11:11,780 --> 00:11:19,160
What I did for the print was I lined up a ridge detail from the partial that I found on each handle. Nice.

88
00:11:20,415 --> 00:11:25,940
( sighs ) So... you think that guy fried before he fell? I don't know.

89
00:11:26,540 --> 00:11:35,690
We found a nail in his boot. It could have pierced the protective rubber. It might have allowed electricity to course through his body. Bobby Dawson's taking odds.

90
00:11:36,350 --> 00:11:44,360
Two to one, Grissom's wrong. Five to one, he gets suspended for shutting down that jailhouse. And ten to one... Fired?

91
00:11:45,162 --> 00:11:47,597
( computer beeps )

92
00:11:51,620 --> 00:11:53,000
GRISSOM: Sounds like you got a match.

93
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:54,620
BROWN: Hey, Griss.

94
00:11:56,510 --> 00:11:58,970
How long you been standing there? Yeah, yeah, we do.

95
00:12:00,170 --> 00:12:08,390
The, um... It's a former union guy turned night shift project manager. Robert Harris. Does that name mean anything?

96
00:12:08,810 --> 00:12:09,620
Yeah.

97
00:12:10,130 --> 00:12:11,750
Especially if you bet against me.

98
00:12:21,770 --> 00:12:45,950
My prints are on the metal cutters because my prints are all over everything at the site. I'm the project manager. There's no mystery here. You're the project manager but you don't actually use all the tools, right? I'm vigilant about safety. I'm always inspecting the equipment, tools... Look, this is what's going to happen here. The construction site is going to reopen, and the investigation goes away. Sure. After the lab processes all the evidence.

99
00:12:47,690 --> 00:12:48,410
Excuse me.

100
00:12:52,580 --> 00:12:54,710
For the record, I don't like being put in the middle.

101
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,450
Who does? I did a little homework on the guy who took a nosedive after he was electrocuted.

102
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,730
Three days ago, he was voted union rep.

103
00:13:02,030 --> 00:13:04,820
Demanded more overtime pay, pressed for a walkout.

104
00:13:05,330 --> 00:13:06,320
Motive?

105
00:13:06,950 --> 00:13:07,550
( whispers ): Right.

106
00:13:09,020 --> 00:13:12,860
Well, in case you're interested Bob Harris was the Sheriff's best man.

107
00:13:18,590 --> 00:13:20,180
Well, what was that about?

108
00:13:20,690 --> 00:13:24,890
Ah, we're in a bowling league together. Can we wrap this up? Sure.

109
00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:27,800
Someone tampered with Roger Valenti's drill.

110
00:13:28,730 --> 00:13:37,010
And I have only one suspect. I read the coroner's prelim. There is nothing in it about electrocution. That's why they call it a prelim.

111
00:13:38,300 --> 00:13:47,510
Mr. Harris, were you opposed to Roger Valenti's union activities? Of course not. I'm a union man myself. You're fishing, Gil. We're done here. Moving on.

112
00:14:40,820 --> 00:14:43,070
Mrs. Buckley, do you have someone to drive you home?

113
00:14:45,410 --> 00:14:49,310
Mrs. Buckley? Yes? Do you have someone to drive you home?

114
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,220
No, uh, thank you. I'll be all right.

115
00:14:56,930 --> 00:14:58,310
Mrs. Buckley? Yeah?

116
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,590
I'm Nick Stokes from the Crime Lab. I've been assigned to your son's case. Crime Lab?

117
00:15:03,830 --> 00:15:05,840
It's protocol.

118
00:15:07,580 --> 00:15:35,570
We were just having pizza together. He seemed fine. And I dropped him off at Dr. Sapien's and... My husband passed away three years ago and now my... my baby's gone.

119
00:15:38,450 --> 00:15:39,170
I understand.

120
00:15:41,450 --> 00:15:44,240
If you'll excuse me, I need to go make arrangements. Sure.

121
00:15:47,420 --> 00:15:49,340
I'm sorry for your loss.

122
00:15:51,650 --> 00:15:52,670
Thank you.

123
00:16:06,140 --> 00:16:08,330
My youngest just turned 14.

124
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,830
Tough age.

125
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:14,060
Cause of death?

126
00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:18,740
Cranial-cerebral injuries. Comminuted fractures of the occipital bone.

127
00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:33,170
Injuries consistent with a grand mal seizure? First blush? Yes. Waiting on toxicology. In the meantime, check out his torso.

128
00:16:34,580 --> 00:16:38,690
He's covered in bruises. Possibly from being thrashed during the seizure?

129
00:16:39,050 --> 00:16:40,130
Possibly.

130
00:16:41,450 --> 00:16:47,090
I found tan fibers on his boxers. You, too, huh? His body's covered in them.

131
00:16:47,810 --> 00:17:00,740
Fibers on his body and his underwear but not on his shirt and pants, why? Well, maybe it was as simple as he wasn't wearing his shirt and pants. Okay, then at some point he was with his shrink in his underwear. Exactly what kind of therapy was this?

132
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:36,530
Gil Grissom? Yes. I have information about Roger Valenti. Call Jim Brass at Homicide.

133
00:17:39,620 --> 00:17:46,850
I was the union rep before Roger. The walkout was my idea. Bob Harris threatened me and my family.

134
00:17:47,750 --> 00:17:51,260
I wouldn't betray the union so I gave up my position at the Local.

135
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:57,260
Roger picked up where I left off. Why are you telling me this? Because it could have been me.

136
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,110
Cheese.

137
00:18:01,670 --> 00:18:02,450
Milk.

138
00:18:03,770 --> 00:18:04,940
Sweaters.

139
00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:07,550
What do these things have in common?

140
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:22,790
Goat cheese, goat milk. Goat... sweaters? Angora. Ding, ding, ding. Fibers from the lady shrink, fibers from the boy. Both are angora. Angora is processed goat hair? Mm-hmm. Sheared, washed, spun and dyed.

141
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:24,800
Angora's 100% goat.

142
00:18:26,270 --> 00:18:27,350
You didn't know that, Nick?

143
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:30,410
Must be a chick thing.

144
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:36,890
I need to see the body again.

145
00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:39,680
No can do. Released six hours ago.

146
00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:45,680
Final report? Another 24, but there's nothing in there to support Valenti was electrocuted. Doc, please?

147
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,330
You want to look at my notes?

148
00:18:50,690 --> 00:18:51,950
So, what have you got?

149
00:18:52,370 --> 00:18:54,980
I mean, anything unusual, even the mundane.

150
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,520
His troponin enzymes are elevated.

151
00:18:59,450 --> 00:19:10,310
Troponin levels become elevated following ventricular fibrillation which could be caused by electrocution, right? Sure, but troponin's found in all victims of cardiac arrest, most of whom have not been zapped. Work with me, will you?

152
00:19:10,670 --> 00:19:17,870
Uh, Vic also had an elevated concentration of iron in his blood-- six, seven times normal. Life-threatening? No.

153
00:19:18,770 --> 00:19:22,910
What else? Well, it fits the bill of "mundane." His skin looked jaundiced.

154
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,890
Postmortem deoxygenation.

155
00:19:25,370 --> 00:19:28,340
Dead or alive, your vic's epidermis is yellow.

156
00:19:31,220 --> 00:19:33,350
Tell me about his testicles. What?

157
00:19:35,930 --> 00:19:48,620
Okay, I'm working with you. Uh, I don't remember. I mean, genetics can be fascinating-- and there are things I take note of-- but I didn't focus on his genitals.

158
00:19:50,030 --> 00:19:51,080
Thanks, Doc.

159
00:19:53,780 --> 00:19:55,190
You're welcome.

160
00:20:02,090 --> 00:20:03,290
What're you guys doing?

161
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:12,380
Waiting for an assignment. You got a new case for us? A new case? BROWN: Well, we heard the Sheriff put the brakes on the investigation. You didn't hear that from me, did you?

162
00:20:14,510 --> 00:20:18,170
I think I smell something burning in the DNA lab.

163
00:20:18,410 --> 00:20:24,920
Love to stay and chat, but... Greg... I hope that's not the crossword puzzle.

164
00:20:37,460 --> 00:20:45,890
What about the nail that we pulled out of Valenti's boot? Dusted? No, because... Process the nail, please. And if you get a print... I'll compared it to Bob Harris's ten card.

165
00:20:46,820 --> 00:20:48,050
Anything else?

166
00:20:48,530 --> 00:20:54,350
Yes. Metal cutters. I need you to prove or disprove whether they were used to sever the drill's grounding prong.

167
00:20:58,190 --> 00:20:59,210
And you're with me.

168
00:21:00,258 --> 00:21:03,695
( Vivaldi's Four Seasons plays )

169
00:21:23,050 --> 00:21:26,020
( music volume increasing )

170
00:21:33,290 --> 00:21:34,460
Mr. Gesek!

171
00:21:37,070 --> 00:21:41,900
You're conducting. ( music stops ) I didn't hear you come in.

172
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,760
Vivaldi, Four Seasons.

173
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:46,040
Vivaldi, Valenti.

174
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,610
Both Italians. It's like being in Venice.

175
00:21:51,860 --> 00:21:53,240
Why are you here?

176
00:21:53,990 --> 00:22:04,310
Do I need a lawyer? Have you prepped him yet? I was just about to commence draining when I got distracted. Yeah, I know, Venice. I need to see his testicles. I always thought there was something weird about you.

177
00:22:04,970 --> 00:22:08,300
Excuse me. You can't just come in here and look at my guy's goods.

178
00:22:08,810 --> 00:22:11,180
If I let you see them I have to let everybody see them.

179
00:22:12,470 --> 00:22:19,430
But... perhaps we can work something out. What? Do you want us to pay to see them? That's a good idea, but no.

180
00:22:19,730 --> 00:22:24,080
I'm starting a new business. Crime scene cleanup. I'm going to want some referrals.

181
00:22:24,770 --> 00:22:26,360
I'll put you on the list.

182
00:22:30,740 --> 00:22:33,830
Testicular atrophy. They're the size of peas.

183
00:22:34,250 --> 00:22:35,210
Poor guy.

184
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:41,300
Yeah, that's rough. And the significance of this evidence? Hemochromatosis.

185
00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:55,160
Valenti had elevated levels of iron in his blood. yellow pallor, shrunken testicles... I think he's been ingesting trace amounts of iron over a long period of time. Why'd he eat iron? Trace amounts are odorless, tasteless. He probably didn't even know.

186
00:22:55,460 --> 00:23:13,400
You're saying he was poisoned? No. Iron molecules take a long time to build up. Could have been his diet repeated blood transfusions, excessive smoking possibly hereditary abnormalities. So, where does this get us? One step closer. Mr. Gesek? Stick a syringe in his carotid all the way to his clavicle.

187
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,580
You want his blood? One pint, to go.

188
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:23,660
Warrick.

189
00:23:25,970 --> 00:23:31,370
Hey. I got a thumbprint off that nail. Cool. Only a partial. Print lab's running a comparison.

190
00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:36,500
Whatever happened with those metal cutters? Serrations didn't match up. They weren't used on the grounding prong.

191
00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:44,390
What's in the envelope? Roger Valenti's blood. Grissom wants it packaged in plastic. I don't know. Don't ask.

192
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,520
You want lunch?

193
00:23:46,940 --> 00:23:47,570
Later.

194
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,100
STOKES: Hey, Catherine. Yeah?

195
00:23:53,150 --> 00:23:54,350
You ever been in therapy?

196
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:55,550
Who hasn't?

197
00:23:56,630 --> 00:23:57,890
Didn't save my marriage.

198
00:23:58,220 --> 00:24:02,360
And you were okay sharing your problems with a complete stranger? You rather I tell them to you?

199
00:24:03,980 --> 00:24:09,200
Somebody order a warrant? Yeah. Mustard and relish. Hold the onions. I hope it's a general.

200
00:24:09,410 --> 00:24:12,308
Epilepsy. Eyewitness physician dials 9-1-1.

201
00:24:12,590 --> 00:24:22,970
Coroner's not making any noise. You're lucky to get a limited. What do you mean, we're lucky? We've got fibers on a 14-year-old kid and the shrink's clothing. Which would have got you nothing. But I did a background check on the good doctor.

202
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:26,690
While back, she had her license suspended. Sex with a patient.

203
00:24:27,110 --> 00:24:35,600
Teen's parents filed a complaint with the A.P.A. Sex with a minor. Suspension's a joke. Should have lost her license, minimum. Yeah, well, this time, maybe she will.

204
00:24:59,570 --> 00:25:00,710
Okay, Gris.

205
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:04,160
Valenti's blood.

206
00:25:04,910 --> 00:25:07,190
Packaged, ready to go. Thank you.

207
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,950
You want to fill me in here? I mean, this wasn't covered in any science class I took.

208
00:25:16,550 --> 00:25:18,770
Well, iron is a conductive mineral.

209
00:25:19,700 --> 00:25:25,370
I want to know if there was enough iron in Valenti's blood to conduct electricity.

210
00:25:25,730 --> 00:25:29,810
That's far out. Yeah, well... we'll see.

211
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,970
Plug in the blood.

212
00:25:43,632 --> 00:25:45,367
( slight buzzing )

213
00:25:50,330 --> 00:25:51,590
Angora fibers?

214
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:53,930
What does that have to do with anything?

215
00:25:58,010 --> 00:26:02,540
Excuse me. I don't appreciate being treated like a suspect. Then maybe you should wait outside.

216
00:26:03,470 --> 00:26:13,640
Do you consider me a suspect? Because that's how I'm feeling. ( clicks ) ( beeps ) ( humming ) Fine. Don't answer me. It's your choice.

217
00:26:13,910 --> 00:26:17,930
That's the funny thing about choices. Once you make them you have to live with them.

218
00:26:20,570 --> 00:26:22,730
Dylan Buckley was just a boy.

219
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,450
He trusted you and you abused that trust.

220
00:26:30,860 --> 00:26:33,140
Linen closet, top shelf.

221
00:26:33,740 --> 00:26:37,580
Was that blanket here... on the floor? Were you and Dylan under it?

222
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,030
It's going to be okay.

223
00:26:50,660 --> 00:26:51,830
That's it. That's it.

224
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:54,860
That's it. That's it.

225
00:26:55,788 --> 00:26:58,820
( grunts ) STOKES: He was a 14-year-old kid.

226
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:30,290
What's the matter with you? He resisted; you persisted. Then what? Look, I don't know the basis of your allegations but I have never crossed the line with a patient. That's not what your rap sheet says. "Rap sheet"? Sex with an underage patient. I was a resident. He was 17. We were in... Look, no criminal charges were filed. It should have been expunged from my record. It doesn't make you any less guilty. Lady, I'm not a saint but I am not a killer or a child molester.

227
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:36,380
Dylan Buckley was an epileptic. He had a seizure. He hit his head.

228
00:27:36,950 --> 00:27:40,490
That's the truth. You don't like it, you can leave.

229
00:27:42,230 --> 00:27:44,120
We got what we came here for.

230
00:27:48,740 --> 00:27:51,200
What's going on with you? I'm on a case.

231
00:27:51,410 --> 00:27:52,880
We're on a case.

232
00:27:53,390 --> 00:27:54,320
Right.

233
00:28:11,660 --> 00:28:13,070
Hey, is that from the deli?

234
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,550
Egg salad sandwich. You want half? No. Can I have your pickle?

235
00:28:16,790 --> 00:28:17,480
Yeah.

236
00:28:20,510 --> 00:28:21,530
You can have it.

237
00:28:23,180 --> 00:28:24,260
Oh, that's a nice one.

238
00:28:41,395 --> 00:28:47,390
( buzzing ) You turned my pickle into a light bulb. I'm electrocuting it. You sure are.

239
00:28:48,170 --> 00:28:49,550
That would explain that smell.

240
00:28:50,510 --> 00:28:52,340
This is how I cooked my hot dogs in college.

241
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,410
Check out the burn marks.

242
00:29:02,180 --> 00:29:04,700
There are none. Just like Valenti's body.

243
00:29:04,970 --> 00:29:16,712
No evidence of electrocution. Pickles are high in sodium content. And sodium is conductive, just like iron. Normally, the flow of electricity through a body generates heat. ( crackling and buzzing )

244
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,370
Burn marks are the physical evidence of that heat.

245
00:29:25,610 --> 00:29:32,270
But... if the body offers no resistance to the flow of electricity-- no heat, no burn marks.

246
00:29:32,510 --> 00:29:42,500
Roger Valenti's body offered up no resistance because of the excess iron in his blood. The iron conducted the electricity. Making his body one big wire-- path to ground.

247
00:29:43,130 --> 00:29:49,820
In through his hand from the drill; out through the nail in the boot. No burn marks, but he was still electrocuted.

248
00:29:55,676 --> 00:29:58,979
( crackling and hissing )

249
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,950
So, you've just proved murder.

250
00:30:10,850 --> 00:30:13,220
I wouldn't break out that champagne just yet.

251
00:30:14,030 --> 00:30:17,180
Don't go shooting the messenger. Thumbprint from the nail.

252
00:30:19,550 --> 00:30:54,080
SHERIFF: Bob Harris's prints were not on the murder weapon. Is that what you're telling me? They were not on the nail. You see, I think that someone stuck a nail in the victim's boot and it evidently wasn't Bob Harris. In other words, you made a suspect out of an innocent man. Obviously, that wasn't my intent. Oh, good. Then maybe you'll want to bring that up in the newspaper article. What are you talking about? What newspaper article? The one I'm arranging for your public apology. I'm not making an apology. Oh, yes, you are. You don't go after a friend of mine sully his reputation and then walk away. Actions have consequences, Gil. Even yours.

253
00:31:14,570 --> 00:31:20,420
I heard the Sheriff chewed you a new one. You get my message? Yeah, you want me to check out your "Deep Throat?"

254
00:31:23,450 --> 00:31:37,130
Well, that was fast. Ian Wolf Union of Electrical Workers, Local 37. He wanted to make sure that I stayed on Harris for the murder of Roger Valenti. Doesn't that tell you something? I told him to talk to you. I'll check out the guy.

255
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:47,240
Gil, why do you do this to yourself? What? The guy's dead. It could have been suicide, accident.

256
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,950
But you've always got to push it. Just like any other case. You know what I think?

257
00:31:52,910 --> 00:31:54,020
Adrenaline.

258
00:31:54,230 --> 00:31:55,670
You need the rush.

259
00:31:57,050 --> 00:31:58,070
But that's just me.

260
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:56,450
STOKES. Okay.

261
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,790
Thank you, David. No sweat.

262
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,310
Hey, he asked for it.

263
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,740
How many swabs does it take to process a blanket? I'm thorough.

264
00:33:07,010 --> 00:33:14,600
The lab tested Dylan Buckley's blood for creatine kinase which would be elevated post-seizure... ...but Dylan Buckley's levels were normal.

265
00:33:15,050 --> 00:33:17,060
I just got my own copy of the report.

266
00:33:17,540 --> 00:33:19,340
Dr. Sapien lied.

267
00:33:19,610 --> 00:33:22,790
You're racing me, Nick. We're driving the same car.

268
00:33:23,570 --> 00:33:24,350
Nick!

269
00:33:26,150 --> 00:33:28,970
Nick, I'll have you removed from the case.

270
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,160
You're confronting suspects before the evidence is processed.

271
00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:40,010
You're flying solo, cutting me out.

272
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:42,800
What's going on?

273
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:45,890
Okay.

274
00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:51,800
There are some people you're supposed to be able to trust, you know?

275
00:33:54,740 --> 00:33:58,640
I was nine. And she was a last-minute baby-sitter.

276
00:34:02,390 --> 00:34:09,530
All I can remember doing afterwards is sitting in my room in the dark, staring at the door waiting for my mom to get home.

277
00:34:14,449 --> 00:34:16,219
But I've never told anyone before.

278
00:34:23,389 --> 00:34:24,380
I'm sorry.

279
00:34:26,090 --> 00:34:27,800
It's what makes a person, I guess.

280
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:32,689
I'm sorry, Catherine.

281
00:34:38,420 --> 00:34:45,139
You checked me out. So what? Worst thing I've done is get a speeding ticket. And take a pipe to Roger Valenti's head four days before he died.

282
00:34:45,739 --> 00:34:53,840
No, it wasn't on the foreman's report. Valenti's widow told me. It's a work site. Guys get in beefs all the time. But this guy died and Bob Harris had nothing to do with it.

283
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:59,030
Despite your efforts to make it seem that way. Look, I'm n saying another word till I talk to a union lawyer.

284
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,910
I pay my dues and these guys play hardball.

285
00:35:10,460 --> 00:35:11,660
He's guilty.

286
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,120
Let's not make the same mistake twice.

287
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:22,820
SANDERS: FYI. 3O swabs in six hours? Not realistic, all right? Even for me. Come on, Greg, I thought you liked a challenge. What are we looking at here?

288
00:35:23,270 --> 00:35:34,940
Lots and lots of epithelials. There were skin cells shed all over the blanket. Dylan Buckley's. Dr. Sapien's. You're two-thirds of the way there. I also isolated a set of cells from another individual. Identity unknown.

289
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,830
But when it's important to Nick here, I push further.

290
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,890
Seven of the 13 markers matched your dead kid.

291
00:35:43,370 --> 00:35:51,320
Familial DNA. Father's dead, means we're looking at Mom. Naked kid under a blanket at his shrink's late at night and his mother's there.

292
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,530
Yeah, your case just entered a whole new dimension of weird.

293
00:36:04,190 --> 00:36:18,980
Where's Mandy? She's cross-eyed from running our partial. I didn't want to lose any time, so I took over. The database is 70,000. It could still take a while. What if I narrowed the scope? To one. We got a suspect? Ian Wolf. Like the animal not the authors.

294
00:36:30,950 --> 00:36:38,660
Partial overlay. Perfect match. Now we've just got to place him at the crime scene. Warrick's on it. I got a warrant for his tool belt metal cutters included.

295
00:36:46,670 --> 00:36:47,300
Doc?

296
00:36:48,050 --> 00:36:54,140
The kid in his underwear-- tell us about the Y-incision. Leftovers from my anniversary dinner. Congratulations. Thanks.

297
00:36:54,710 --> 00:37:04,430
Same tan fibers I found on the outside I found on the inside. Mouth, nasal passages, both lungs. He was wrapped in that blanket. Mm-hmm. Head-to-toe.

298
00:37:10,910 --> 00:37:13,850
Mrs. Buckley, we know that your son didn't have a seizure.

299
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:26,030
We also know that you were at Dr. Sapien's house with Dylan the night that he died. He was in his underwear wrapped in a blanket fighting for every breath. I loved my son.

300
00:37:27,290 --> 00:37:28,850
That's what every parent says.

301
00:37:30,620 --> 00:37:35,120
This... This was therapy. I had tried everything else.

302
00:37:35,390 --> 00:37:50,000
Taken him to so many specialists. But I couldn't reach him. So we... We tried the... We... I have to tell them.

303
00:37:54,590 --> 00:37:56,180
It's called rebirthing.

304
00:37:57,170 --> 00:38:11,660
Rebirthing? It's a technique used to treat extreme behavioral disorders. Idea is to turn back the clock. Wipe the slate clean. Allow the child to rebond with his mother. WILLOWS: What is the blanket for? It represents the birth canal.

305
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:22,820
So you wrapped Dylan up... ...beat the hell out of him and hocus-pocus, he's supposed to love you again?

306
00:38:23,630 --> 00:38:44,120
Rebirthing may not be a recognized therapeutic procedure, but it's not illegal. Last time I checked, murder is. I begged her to do it. SAPIEN: All other methods of therapy had failed. Dylan was becoming more belligerent, withdrawn, even dangerous. I just wanted my son to love me. That's all. Dylan was a willing participant. He was 14.

307
00:38:44,810 --> 00:38:48,050
DR. SAPIEN: I instructed Dylan to lie down on the floor.

308
00:38:48,980 --> 00:38:50,120
In a fetal position.

309
00:38:50,540 --> 00:38:56,000
As part of the process I asked him if he wanted to be reborn to his mother. He said yes.

310
00:38:56,540 --> 00:38:58,370
Now we're going to close the womb.

311
00:39:01,220 --> 00:39:02,009
And twist it.

312
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,720
So, then what happened?

313
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:13,700
Things got out of hand? He changed his mind? WILLOWS: Somewhere in the middle of an angora birth canal? It is time to be reborn.

314
00:39:14,690 --> 00:39:16,820
That's it, Dylan. Push harder, push harder!

315
00:39:17,540 --> 00:39:18,230
That's it. Try again.

316
00:39:19,730 --> 00:39:32,780
A little harder, come on. Mom, stop it! I can't breathe! Push hard. Mom, please just stop. Do you want to be reborn or stay in there and die? Quit pushing on me, please! Mom, please, Iwat this to stop. Maybe we should. No, this is what happens.

317
00:39:33,170 --> 00:39:36,830
We can't stop now. Trust me. This is a normal response.

318
00:39:37,970 --> 00:39:43,550
I thought it was part of the process. It is. She told me that that's what he was supposed to say.

319
00:39:43,820 --> 00:39:47,450
That babies don't want That's right. to come out. That's right. That that's why it's such an ordeal for the woman.

320
00:39:52,670 --> 00:39:55,520
So you pushed on him like a mother in labor?

321
00:39:57,170 --> 00:40:00,680
Come on. Push harder. No, Mom, I can't breathe!

322
00:40:00,929 --> 00:40:06,230
( Dylan groaning ) Push harder! ( groaning ) That's it. ( groaning ) Okay.

323
00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:16,040
Honey?

324
00:40:17,502 --> 00:40:19,370
Dylan? Honey?

325
00:40:23,510 --> 00:40:26,930
When we opened the blanket, his eyes were closed.

326
00:40:27,470 --> 00:40:30,050
I thought he was pretending to be asleep.

327
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:38,810
So much for your... therapy.

328
00:40:43,074 --> 00:40:45,010
Excuse me.

329
00:40:51,116 --> 00:40:57,170
( door closes ) And that's why we tried to hide it. We knew you wouldn't understand.

330
00:41:14,420 --> 00:41:17,450
Twin moons of Venus. Overlap to one.

331
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:21,680
Striations match.

332
00:41:22,460 --> 00:41:30,770
SIDLE: Wolf stuck a nail in Valenti's boot compromised the drill and cut the grounding prong with his own cutters. This seems like a lot of work to kill a guy. Not for an electrician.

333
00:41:31,070 --> 00:41:32,450
I'm going to find Brass.

334
00:41:33,050 --> 00:41:33,200
Hey, Griss.

335
00:41:34,130 --> 00:41:38,990
I think I can speak for both of us when I say I'm sorry that we let you down. We quit before we should have.

336
00:41:39,770 --> 00:41:41,330
Yeah, you did.

337
00:41:47,277 --> 00:41:50,347
( hammering and drilling )

338
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:55,910
Mr. Wolf.

339
00:41:56,810 --> 00:41:58,370
We got you for murder.

340
00:41:59,270 --> 00:42:03,680
Premeditated. You know this from my cutters? They're just part of the story.

341
00:42:07,220 --> 00:42:10,910
GRISSOM: You spiked Roger's boot with the nail compromised the insulation.

342
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,420
You reversed the polarity in his drill.

343
00:42:14,810 --> 00:42:20,450
You cut the grounding prong, planted evidence... and killed a man.

344
00:42:26,978 --> 00:42:30,548
( electrical charges buzzing )

345
00:42:34,610 --> 00:42:37,980
You're under arrest. ( handcuffs clicking )

346
00:42:45,770 --> 00:42:46,490
SHERIFF: Grissom.

347
00:42:49,310 --> 00:42:50,300
It's all you, man.

348
00:42:56,270 --> 00:42:56,960
Sheriff.

349
00:42:57,740 --> 00:42:59,390
Well, you got the bad apple.

350
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:01,370
Yeah, how about that?

351
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,770
Just in time for my big public apology.

352
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,250
I may be changing the tenor of that piece somewhat.

353
00:43:07,610 --> 00:43:11,060
You won't be the goat but you won't be the hero, either.

354
00:43:11,780 --> 00:43:16,730
Good. I'll leave that to you. That's why we will continue to work well together.

355
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:20,660
Grissom.

356
00:43:29,710 --> 00:43:33,380
