Is it bad when you start thinking none of this sounds too weird anymore?
Oh, it's a bit too freaky how these cases are connected.
Greg
Grissom, you always say that there is no such thing as coincidence...
Oh, come on. You got the guy who bursts into flames, just divorced from the woman who was fighting squirrel wars with the Martins...
Greg
... Who had hired the exterminator who's drugs were turning everybody's blood green.
And one of his green blooded customers was Evelyn, our lady of tinfoil, who was the last person that Kyle Plank touched before he died.
There's one more connection. Evelyn had 200 bucks, and I'm thinking that when she was run over, she was on her way to buy more Thyocite. I think that Wayne Connor was with Dave Boer waiting for the money to arrive.
Greg
Only Evelyn never showed up, Connor lost his temper and Boer killed him in a fight.
And it all started with Kyle Plank, lonely guy with a gut full of moonshine.
Grissom theory. This is better than a bedtime story.
String theory is "the theory of everything." Quantum mechanics tells us about the very small. The theory of relativity explains the immense. String theory ties it all together. It proposes that atomic particles are made up of infinitesimal vibrating loops of energy or strings. Each string vibrates at its own frequency, like on a violin, producing notes and these notes make up everything in the universe.
These strings have been combining and recombining ever since the Big Bang. So, the connections between our victims or any of us are not that extraordinary.
But every one of them thought they were alone.
Too bad they didn't know about Grissom's theory.
Greg
In a parallel universe, maybe they're all having breakfast together.
In this universe, maybe we are.
(to Grissom) And you're buying.
He didn't wanna go, Sara.
I was holding him. ... God, I could feel his life, ... I guess I felt that if I could hold him tight enough, he'd be okay.
You know that there is no place in the world that he would have rather been at the end. ... He loved you.
[holding back tears] Yeah, I loved him. [Catherine comes in and sees Sara, Sara walks up to her and hugs her]
[while hugging Catherine] I'm so sorry.
It's so good that we can all be together. [Greg and Nick walk in and Sara hugs them both]
Greg
I'm glad you're here.
Look, um, maybe I can pick up some of the slack. I... I know I can't work the case, but maybe I can make some of the, uh... arrangements.
Greg
I'll help you.
You know, since his grandmother passed, we were the only family that he had. He once told me that he'd like to be buried next to her.
I went to her funeral with Warrick. She's, uh, buried at the Baptist cemetery on Eastern.
We're gonna need, uh, a key, I guess to his place.
I've got one. I... went over to his place and got him some fresh clothes when he was in custody.
Warrick was right about Gedda and he was right about the department. [looks at everyone then at Grissom] Let's finish this for him.
So, let's assume that 'shoe print' was involved in all four murders. It's possible he knew, Gerald, right? Is it also possible that he was an accomplice of D.J.K.?
Greg
That would explain the 9 post-mortem stab wounds in Ian Wallace. It's a continuation of the master's work.
But if he was D.J.K.'s helper, back in the day, why go quiet for 10 years and then suddenly start killing again?
Greg
Maybe he was doing time?
Catherine And when he realized that his old partner turned informant, he got scared and killed him.
Maybe that's what brought the old thrill back. Once these guys get a taste, it never seems to go away.
HHaley
But I told her forensics is just science, you know? It's what you go to school for and... But you don't look like my chem teacher.
[Greg walks in as Haley leaves.]
Greg
You do know, uh, crime scene's in the next room? I always look for the yellow tape.
I need side-arm clearance and I've got to take a look at the tactical manual again, these codes are very, very confusing.
Ah, the most important signal's a code 4.
Situation secure. Code 4.
Greg
Second most important: 4-82.
I know this, 4-82 is... What is it?
Greg
Lunch!
Greg
So Elvis, how'd you get these injuries?
EElvis
I'm a landscaper. Got a lot of cactus orders because of the drought.
Or maybe they're from when you raped your ex, Kayla Newtons.
EElvis
I didn't rape Kay. We had sex.
Greg
Open up [swabs him.]
You had the kind of sex where she said no.
Greg
Uh, Langston sent us some souvenirs from Miami and New York.
Catherine [unwraps a mini-statue of Liberty]: Mm. I was kinda hopin' for a little somethin', somethin' from Burgdorff's.
Hodges [puts on sunglasses with palm trees on the side]: How do I look?
Greg
Bitchin'.
SShirley
You think I don't know what you see when you look at us? [takes a sip of her martini] Bunch of ignorant drunk crackers. Shiftless peckerwoods. Lemme tell you somethin', we built this place outta nothin' with our hands, and our sweat and our determination. Mayor of Vegas used to eat here.
Greg
[whispers to Hodges] Alright, if I can't find a phone, I'm gonna make one. Keep an eye on her. [walks off]
SShirley
We had politicians, celebrities, rubbin' up elbows with the common man. Some nights, we had eight, ten limos stacked out up front. Then Harry took off, it all went to hell. He didn't care who he hurt. [making another martini] Are you sure, that I can't fix you boys one of these?
You know, I could use the little boy's room.
SShirley
Ah, toilet is all stuffed up. There's one in the basement. But, you don't wanna use that one, believe me. There's like, a million black widow spiders down there. It's like a black widow convention is what it is. You just like puff up and die, so... Use the bushes. [Hodges goes to leave]
[grabs his arm and whispers] Whoa, whoa, what am I supposed to do?
You heard Greg, keep an eye on her.
SShirley
[pours Henry some whiskey] You are gonna drink a man drink, just like that. [Henry chuckles nervously]
