Nobody knew he was coming, Conrad. Nobody knew his name. Yeah, well, if you'd stop talking for a minute you'd understand. The investigation's been compromised. Lives are at risk. How many people do the right thing anymore? Have a conscience? Don Cook, didn't even know what he saw. El Mataocho doesn't kill for the thrill, or because he was abused as a child, he kills because it's his answer to everything. I had him eye-witnessed, it was enough for an indictment. No indictment, no trial, he goes free and La Tierra gets stronger, so don't patronize me by saying this might be an accident. I'm not asking you for advice here, I'm telling you. I want Grissom.
“Grissom's Divine Comedy” · Season 8, Episode 12
In this episode: Madeline Klein (4), Gil Grissom (3), Nick Stokes (2), Warrick Brown (2), Catherine Willows (1), Greg Sanders (1), Jim Brass (1), David Hodges (1)
(to Greg who has a scarf wrapped around his neck) What are you doing, a catalog shoot? Where's your matching hat with your pom-pom?
Leave me alone. I have a cold.
[to Grissom] Boy, you look like hell. I need sugar. You got a soda?
Nice to see you, too, Maddy.
6 months' worth of investigation; two months working with the grand jury; 5 low-level indictments against the LAT. Why you? 'Cause you're the only one who won't screw it up.
My team won't screw it up.
Oh, right. Your team. Warrick Brown got mixed up with a crooked judge. Sanders ran down a civilian while on duty. Ms. Willows lied about being at a crime scene, among other things. And who can forget Stokes, your straight arrow? Suspected of killing his hooker girlfriend. How does the song go? "You call me up, I get 'em out of it"? If it weren't for me, you'd have no team.
[to Warrick] Hey.
Oh, man, you look beat up.
I feel beat up.
Why don't you ... uh ... take a break. I got this.
No, no, I'm cool. I can push through it.
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.
[to Donny Gomez] And why that apartment? Who do you know lives there?
DGDonny Gomez
Nobody. I got a mental illness. I'm a firebug. I'm loco.
You're loco?
DGDonny Gomez
Who knows? (Madeline walks in) Maybe I'll set the lawyer lady's house on fire.
Hey, little man with the big mouth. It doesn't matter what you say, 'cause all your boys are going to hear is that you rolled on Alvarado. (Gomez surges to his feet. His hands are cuffed behind his back. The officer grabs his shoulders)
Sit down.
Just bought yourself another ten years. I'm going to hand-pick your cell mate.
[Brass and Maddy leave]
Well, that didn't help.
That kid wouldn't roll if I gave him a night with Jessica Alba.
You're really good at making enemies, Maddy.
That's why I'm unlisted, divorced and carry a gun.
Did you take Cook back to Little Gordo's house? You know, maybe to verify his story?
Yeah, I always take my secret witnesses on a bus tour of the hood.
You know, when Don Cook first refused to testify that he saw Alvarado come out of Little Gordo's house, you know what I did? I took him to an out-of-town diner and bought him a cup of coffee. What'd you do?
I went to Little Gordo's. (Brass nods, Maddy gets it now) Damn it. Good job, Maddy. They saw me. I can't even blame it on the booze. All they had to do was trail me back to the courthouse and watch me go into the security entrance with 18 escorted jurors. That's how they knew grand jury. Damn it! This is where you're supposed to say, "It's okay. It could happen to anyone. It's not your fault Don Cook is dead." Like hell it isn't.
(after Nick coughs) You know, in China people wear masks when they're sick. It's considered impolite to infect your co-workers.
Maybe you should go work in China.
Maybe you should wear a mask.
Never thought I'd be disappointed that we solved a case.
Hmm.
Court personnel files?
Reading upside down is a talent.
What are you looking for?
The leak. 90 minutes after the warrant was issued, Alvarado's apartment went up.
So you're looking at the judge, his staff, the clerk that issued the warrant, court reporter, any cops who knew...
Yeah, but according to this, everybody cleared. The only ones left are the grand jurors and Maddy Klein.
Well, I was right about Alvarado, he was leaving Vegas. Otherwise, he would have killed me himself.
You okay?
Yeah. Guess now, I owe you one, huh?
I don't keep score, Madeline.
You know what Gilbert? You're the only man I know that's never let me down. Which means either that your a classic enabler or my soulmate.
