Pig and the piglets are in the pigpen.
WarrickAbout time. Finally some good news.
Did you know that Pig, a.k.a Cole Tritt, was the only adult? The rest of 'em were all under 18. One was 14.
Warrick
Are you kidding? Who raises these kids?
I mean, they weren't all delinquents. Demetrius James was a college student.
Hangin' out with the wrong crowd in the wrong town. I'm tellin' ya, a fake I.D in Las Vegas is like havin' a--a free ticket on the hell train. Sex, drugs, gambling, no adult supervision, 24/7, by the time they're 21 they've done and seen it all.
Make me slit my wrists why don't ya? I'm raising a teenager here.
Warrick
Ah, you're doin' a great job, Linds is gonna turn out to be a beautiful young woman. Besides, I grew up in Vegas, I didn't turn out so bad, did I?
Yeah. That was pre-Mirage. Back when you were a little squirt goin' to the casino, playin' the arcade games. Nah, Vegas is a different animal now.
Warrick
Yeah, these kids need to beat people up in the street to be entertained. They need some good discipline, they need their grandmother whuppin' their ass like I had.
You know, it kinda sounds like you guys are blaming everybody but these kids. I mean, you don't get a bye just because you grew up here or your parents are on drugs or--- those kids were perfectly capable of telling the difference between a wild night out and beating somebody to death.
The truth is, a moral compass can only point you in the right direction, it can't make you go there. Our culture preaches that you shouldn't be ashamed of anything you do anymore. And unfortunately this city is built on the principle that there's no such thing as guilt. "Do whatever you want, we won't tell." So without a conscience, there's nothing to stop you from killing someone. And evidently you don't even have to feel bad about it.
Warrick Brown
You trying to do a geographic profile of your serial?
Yeah, most of these guys tend to operate out of one place. In theory, as the killer gets more and more comfortable with each act, the locations of the bodies should spiral outward from one central point.
Warrick Brown
I'll tell 'ya one thing your dump sites do have in common.
Warrick Brown
When the bodies were found in the location they were at the time had the highest crime rate in the city.
Smart. Your crime center sure seems to move around here a lot, huh?
Warrick Brown
Well, in Vegas, new is old in five years, old is history in ten, and nothing ever seems to leave a mark.
MWMary Wilson
Warrick Brown. I remember you standing on my steps with those guilty green eyes, afraid to come in because you knew your grandma would size you up no matter what kind of trouble you got into.
Warrick
I don't remember any trouble.
MWMary Wilson
Like when you were thirteen years old, and you took her new Buick out for a spin.
Warrick
Oh... that bang with the bumper trying to parallel park. I forgot about that.
My God. She was at the crime scene.
So she salvages the car, and somehow gets it out to the desert, and grabs Sara, and puts her under it?
Warrick
I don't get it. What does Sara have to do with bleach?
I don't know. This just feels different.
It is different. [flashback to crime scene where Grissom takes a camera from Sara and caresses her arm] This girl holds me responsible for the death of Ernie Dell. I took away the only person she ever loved, so she's gonna do the same thing to me [everyone looks confused]
Warrick
Well, it's a crowded restaurant, somebody must have seen something.
Not exactly, welcome to the latest fad, dining in the dark. [presses a remote that makes the room pitch black] The waiters are blind. No one sees anything. Piece of cake, huh?
Warrick
I think so.
[anxiously] Guys...I have a dead body here...
Regal Sanitation was owned by Anthony Pezzulo. I'm studying mob history for a book I'm writing.
Warrick
Pezzulo? Wasn't he the mob boss who, uh, owned the Starfly?
They called Pezzulo "Whacko," not so much for his wacky personality as for his love for whacking guys.
Until he himself got whacked at the Wisconsin Dells in 1983. Every mob-owned business in Vegas shut down when Pezzulo died.
Warrick
These scumbags like roaches. Just when you think they're gone, they pop back up again.
Warrick
Oh, man, you look beat up.
Warrick
Why don't you ... uh ... take a break. I got this.
No, no, I'm cool. I can push through it.
Warrick
Yeah. You're ... uh ... breaking the lab's budget for rubber gloves here, dawg. Listen, get some rest, man. You'd do the same for me.
Is it bad when you start thinking none of this sounds too weird anymore?
Warrick
Oh, it's a bit too freaky how these cases are connected.
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...
... 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.
Only Evelyn never showed up, Connor lost his temper and Boer killed him in a fight.
Warrick
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.
Warrick
Too bad they didn't know about Grissom's theory.
In a parallel universe, maybe they're all having breakfast together.
In this universe, maybe we are.
(to Grissom) And you're buying.
