[to Dr. Gerard] What happened to you? You were a pioneer in forensic science. How many bad guys did you put away in Hennepin County?
My share. How many innocent men have been locked away since then because of sloppy investigating shortcut forensics?
You look for mistakes in any lab, you'll find them.
I shouldn't be able to, Gil.
Humans are fallible.
Not this fallible: compromised blood, sweetheart deals...
No, no, no, no. You're subverting good evidence. These are good people.
The accused is entitled to the best defense possible.
The accused is entitled, yeah. He's a movie star, that's why he's entitled. He's killed two women. You know it. But you're willing to decimate these CSIs so that you can spoon-feed a jury into letting him walk.
A jury believes me because of my reputation just like they do you.
The difference is, Philip, I get the same paycheck regardless of what I testify to.
I'm saying this as a friend. For the reputation of CSI, tell the D.A. to drop this, re-file down the road.
What about the victims' families? Who's their friend? [Dr. Gerard doesn't answer] My guys will see you in court.
