WOMAN: His fingerprints were all over that belt. That's the only way it could have happened. I'm with Lizette, all right? We heard from the DA. They called the cops last week on a domestic disturbance. Kimble was just getting warmed up. Believe me. I know the type. Husband was a casino host. Just happens to come home in the middle of a shift? Come on. Oh, look, we've really talked this thing to death, haven't we? Chris, can we please put this to another vote?

Cable guy's got priors. He skipped town. You're still on the cable guy theory? His fingerprints weren't even on the belt. He could have worn gloves. I can't take this anymore! Who keeps shutting this damn window? Lunch will be here soon. Let's take a break.

Thanks, man. Stokes. Detective. Hey. Hey. Hey. You've got a minute? Yeah. Sure, what's up? Four years ago, you and Grissom worked a missing persons out in Moapa Valley? She lived on a farm with her husband? Wow. Um... Yeah, I remember. Uh-uh, Rita? Rita Westonson. Found nothing suspicious. Nothing criminal. Figured she wanted to skip town, disappear. Rita's sister is in interrogation. She's claiming Rita was murdered. Faye, it's been four years since your sister went missing. Now, CSI conducted a full investigation-- found nothing suspicious, nothing criminal. Why are you coming forward now? I lied to you back then, and I live with the guilt every day. Miss Minden? It's my duty to advise you of your right to counsel. I don't want an attorney. I admit I withheld information. That's why I'm here. And if I have to go to jail, so be it. I just want to do right by my sister.

22
00:06:33,159 --> 00:06:44,103
Okay. Let's start from the beginning. Your sister disappeared over a weekend... Rita didn't disappear. Her business trip to Fresno got cut short, and she came home early.

23
00:06:46,472 --> 00:07:26,579
Found Aaron, her husband, in the barn with another woman. Rita freaked out and started screaming and saying she was going to leave him. Aaron saw red and lost it. (  blows landing  ) (  body thuds  ) Now if memory serves, her husband had an alibi? Yeah. He was camping in Red Rock with Harris Mathey. That's his business partner, right? Yeah, but Harris owed Aaron a lot of money. He would have said anything. If that's true, Mr. Mathey is guilty of conspiracy after the fact. He died last month. And he's the only one who knew, besides me. Do you know what Aaron did with Rita's body?

24
00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:52,138
He drove her out to the river, about a half mile from his farm, and, um, set her on fire. She burned all night, and then in the morning, he dumped her ashes in the water.

25
00:07:56,642 --> 00:08:01,881
Miss Minden... how did you come across this information?

26
00:08:09,722 --> 00:08:11,724
You were the other woman.

27
00:08:31,711 --> 00:08:48,527
Hey, Sara. Any jurors have blood on their hands? WILLOWS: Mr. Jervis. Why are your fingers bloodied? You ever been on a jury before? How many grad students does it take to screw in a lightbulb? I can't take this anymore!

28
00:08:51,063 --> 00:09:28,100
It's the worst experience of my life. Would you hold your hands up for me, please? The case was a lock anyway. I mean, Kimble obviously had... Mr. Jervis. I need to remind you that you're still under judge's orders not to discuss the case. That's great. This guy's dead, and I still can't go home? Let me tell you something. From the very beginning, day one day after day, this guy is the only holdout. Do you want to know what my boss calls me? Mr. Replaceable. I had to get back to work. (  yelling  ) I lost my temper. You sure it's lost?

29
00:09:42,148 --> 00:10:21,120
Homicide just called. They're reopening the Rita Westonson case based on new information from the eyewitness? File's thinner than I remembered. You think we missed something? We figured she skipped town, wanting to disappear. At the time, that was a reasonable conclusion based on the evidence. Does the witness seem credible to you? Well, if she's lying, she's obstructing justice and wasting my time, but if she's telling the truth, we may have closed the investigation early. At the time, you were a Level Two, I believe. So closing the case would have been my decision. Yeah, it would have. I'm checking out her story. I'll see if it holds up. Let me know. Mm-hmm.

But this might have. Hives? Whoo. Severe allergic reaction. Cause of death: anaphylactic shock. Outer skin becomes irritated, the eyes inflamed, throat closes... (  gasping, choking  ) He was allergic to penicillin, but that's not the kind of thing you can just easily slip someone. No, but you can inject it.

So the soil doesn't support the eye witness testimony. No. So I stuck a moisture testing probe into the ground at the burn site, registered 18%. Now anything over 10% is indicative of full saturation over the last couple of years. The river might have washed away all trace of hydrocarbons. Exactly, but before it washed away, some of the hydrocarbons could have seeped into the ground into the tree's roots. Roots carry nutrients to the tree. Some of the hydrocarbons could have hitched a ride. Oaks don't bear fruit, but this one bears witness. Every year, a branch grows a new ring composed of alike, dark band. Counting from the outside in, going back four years-- one, two, three, four... The ring from four years ago is thinner and distorted. Yeah, the same distortion is present in ring four of every branch. And distortion could mean evidence of a toxic event. I'm thinking the burning of gasoline under the tree.

They've been locked in deliberations for two and a half. Sequestered? Well, it's a high-profile case. Judge Slater limited contact, censored newspapers, no television, shuttle between here and their hotel. That's a juror's life. What about the food, how does that work? This case, uh, jurors had breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Lunch, I brought in a menu, they order... Gee, let me guess. For the 17th day in a row, you're going to order chili. Oh, now you're criticizing my food choices. Chris Gibbons had chili the day he died. Yeah, the guy had food allergies. We had one place we ordered from. He had chili every day. Did jurors have access to these vending machines? Uh, yeah, that's why they're here. It's their nickel. I mean, they got to have something. They're away from their families. I have all their cell phone... Well, almost all of them. Caught a guy double packing. (  beeping  ) Can't anybody make a battery that lasts more than a couple of hours?

(  chuckling  ) How do you burn out your cell phone battery when you're not allowed to use your phone? They don't make cell phones like they used to. That's true, actually. Now they make them better. Did you know that this one takes pictures? And having met your fellow jurors, I think you really captured them. Okay, let's start with the misdemeanor. Cell phones and cameras or cell phones  withcameras are prohibited in the jury room. Somebody must have told you that. See, after a while they're family. I-I thought I could throw a scrapbook together for everyone for after the trial. Oh, and-and when where you planning on handing that out? At Mr. Gibbons' funeral?

80
00:25:51,883 --> 00:26:19,878
I guess you would consider the folks at the credit company family, too. What? Yeah, according to them, uh, you got a little bit of a gambling jones, hmm? $25,000 in markers all over town. So what's your game, dice, cards, sports book? Or all of the above? Let's just say it was a bad month. Not that bad. $30,000 deposit two days ago. All right, now the questions get hard. I mean, you can't be getting rich on jury duty, 40 bucks a day.

00:26:22,147 --> 00:26:45,170

00:28:39,050 --> 00:28:53,164

But at the last minute, I couldn't do that.

97
00:31:00,158 --> 00:31:00,592
Oh!

98
00:31:02,393 --> 00:31:06,497
Oh, I'm so sorry. No, that's okay, I'll take yours. You can reorder.

99
00:31:09,467 --> 00:31:22,113
Then I cleaned up and I walked out. You had to know it was going to kill him. No, I didn't know it was going to be lethal. When Bob was flicking peanut shells at him, it's not like he choked up.

100
00:31:23,681 --> 00:31:34,225
I swear, I didn't know it was going to kill him. I just thought that it would get him replaced with one of the alternates who would vote guilty. Well, Miss Newsome, you are officially off of jury duty.

101
00:31:35,994 --> 00:31:54,545
I killed him. No, she didn't. Greg, she told Warrick she put peanut butter in the chili. I don't care if Mr. Peanut was taking a bath in the vic's lunch. It's not what killed him. Be specific, Greg. I got the detailed results back from the assay test. The level of immunoglobulin E was insufficient to cause a lethal reaction.

102
00:31:57,515 --> 00:32:16,567
Well, that does go along with what the bride-to-be said about the victim. That he had a dermatological response to the allergen and not a respiratory one. GRISSOM: Did the assay test show any other food allergies? No, uh-uh. So the cause of death is still anaphylactic shock. Okay, what caused it? And who?

103
00:32:32,150 --> 00:33:05,149
I got your page. Who shot your dog? Trace tech. He analyzed the fuel from Aaron's pump. Confirmed it's diesel. The hydrocarbons found in the tree were from unleaded gasoline. Means the fuel on Aaron's farm was not used to cremate Rita's body. Maybe it pumped unleaded four years ago. Converted to diesel at some point since. Ah, I thought the same thing myself, so I called the NDEP. Mm-hmm. E Permit for Aaron's fuel tank was specifically for diesel. Where does that leave us?

104
00:33:06,718 --> 00:33:17,161
NDEP's database for Clark County. Now, the red dots represent the areas of permitted fuel tanks. Isolate Moapa. Yeah.

105
00:33:20,198 --> 00:33:25,002
Aaron's farm's located at the cross streets of White Oak and Stansberry.

106
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:30,241
The burn spot is a half mile east along the river. Mm-hmm.

107
00:33:34,178 --> 00:33:41,152
Only two permitted fuel tanks up in that area. The one on the left is Aaron's. We can exclude that one. Who owns the other one?

108
00:33:49,127 --> 00:33:50,194
Faye Minden.

109
00:33:51,462 --> 00:34:09,246
ROBBINS: We've ruled out food allergy as the cause of death. If it was an environmental agent, I expect one of the other jurors had a reaction as well. His body reacted to something. It's why I'm reexamining the exposed areas of his body-- face and the neck.

110
00:34:15,119 --> 00:34:16,654
Look at this.

111
00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:25,096
Apis Mellifera Linnaeus.

112
00:34:27,899 --> 00:34:29,534
We're looking for another body.

113
00:34:40,210 --> 00:34:52,089
Greg ran the assay test for bee venom on Chris Gibbons. IG levels were spiked. Was Gibbons even aware that he had a bee allergy? Brass finally tracked down his allergist. Gibbons was allergic to a lot of things.

114
00:34:58,930 --> 00:35:01,632
The killer, I presume.

115
00:35:11,642 --> 00:35:15,346
Or what's left of him. (  buzzing  )

116
00:35:22,353 --> 00:35:49,747
(  gasping  ) He had an immediate reaction to a bee sting. Lost consciousness, fell forward, hit his head on the table. You know how Gervis was complaining that it was too hot. He said he opened the window. I can't take this anymore! Who keeps shutting this damn window?! Well, that explains it. It was an outside job.

117
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:57,688
Okay, good. Thank you.

118
00:36:03,227 --> 00:36:47,939
Hey. Heard you were over at Aaron's farm. Yep. I bet that shook him up. Thank you for pushing forward with the investigation. And we continue to push forward. We need to take a sample of fuel from your pump. Yeah. Yeah, you wouldn't mind, would you, Faye? My pump? Yeah. Well, what'd he say? Didn't I tell you he'd turn on me? Oh, he didn't say anything. Just want to take a look. My trees are Douglas firs. The... the needles grow in spirals around the twigs. It's amazing. Any time you guys want, you come back here, take your pick. Free of charge. The pump on Aaron's farm is diesel. Your sister was cremated with unleaded.

119
00:36:52,343 --> 00:37:04,422
You know what? Thinking back now, I-I remember Aaron's pump was empty, and, uh, he insisted we drive over here. He used mine. Sorry for the confusion.

120
00:37:06,290 --> 00:37:10,861
Excuse me. Please say you believe me.

122
00:38:12,990 --> 00:38:15,726
I believe you, Faye.

123
00:38:17,428 --> 00:38:25,903
You see, blood evidence doesn't disappear over time. Your sister was murdered... by you.

124
00:38:26,203 --> 00:38:29,440
Faye? Faye, you in here?

STOKES: Unleaded gasoline, barrels for incineration, cast off on the walls. DNA consistent with Rita Westonson. Then he killed Rita to be with Aaron. And a couple of weeks ago, hears he's getting engaged to her younger sister Terry. They couldn't handle it, man. She just freaked. So she tried to pin Rita's murder on Aaron. Four years ago when I decided to close the case, did you agree with my decision? Well, you were following protocol. And now? Now I'd fight you on it, yeah.

126
00:39:21,125 --> 00:40:01,031
Why? Rita Westonson was a dependable, predictable girl. We never answered the question why she just woke up one morning and walked away from the rest of her life. It happens. And that's what the evidence was telling us. Well, that's what the  physical evidence was telling us. We should have dug deeper. You can't just ignore the human element, Grissom. I agree, Nick. But when you start to have feelings for the people involved, you risk your objectivity. So what? You know, I'm always getting criticized for empathizing with the victims and their families, but that's who I am. That's how I do my job. And as far as the promotion goes, it's all good, man. I can live without it. I'm not you.

127
00:40:07,505 --> 00:40:11,041
Good. We certainly don't need another me around here.
