Oh, I love it when you dress up.
Well, you know whatever it takes to get some time with you. How's the study going? Any sign of colony-collapse disorder?
Nope, so far, it's healthy.
Nothing too healthy about smoking.
Well, the scent confuses the guard bees, they won't emit the pheromone that tells the colony there's an intruder.
Oh, don't worry, he's harmless. Who's who?
These are the workers, infertile females.
Well, not unless you swat one, close one up in your hand or freak out. Go ahead, take off your glove.
See, it's cool. The worker bees defend the hive, procure the pollen, make the honey, nurture the larvae and pupae in each of these group cells...you know, maybe we should get married.
[The bee on Sara's hand stings her]
Sorry. Don't pick it out, makes it worse, releases the venom into the blood stream. It's better to scrape it. So, er, what do you think, you know, about-
[She laughs, they try to kiss but have trouble in the bee suits]
Bring us up to speed Greg.
Okay, sure, um, Carmen Davis' keys were still in her purse, car's outside, no cash in the wallet and the credit cards have been removed and neatly stacked on the table. It appears as though they've been wiped clean. Killer was smart enough not to take anything that could be traced.
Which suggests that he was an experienced criminal. What do you know about this guy?
JMAgent Jack Malone
Including everything you just told me? Everything you just told me.
I'll call in some additional AV techs to help Archie get through the footage, but you know, I've learned that sometimes you can go faster by going slow.
JMAgent Jack Malone
Yeah, well I like to go faster by going fast. Waiting around isn't really my best thing.
I've gathered that from your interrogation technique. You know, maybe you should go back to your hotel and take a nap.
JMAgent Jack Malone
[looks around] Is this your office? Really? I mean, by choice? It's not some kind of, uh, surplus overflow issue?
What's wrong with my office?
JMAgent Jack Malone
Oh, I don't know. Uh, [Looks at pig in jar] why don't you tell me. [Puts on glasses for a closer look]
That's an irradiated fetal pig. I used it to determine the effects of radiation on tissue.
JMAgent Jack Malone
For what?
Such a scary thing, sending your kid off to college.
Is Lindsey looking already?
Yeah. In fact, we looked at WLVU last month.
Well, at least she'd be close to home.
She's free on campus, may as well be a thousand miles away.
[about Marlon West] He confessed. It was later thrown out on a technicality. We really didn't need it. The prosecution's case against Marlon was very strong.
Until Marlon's little sister Hannah got on the stand and confessed to the murder herself.
Oh, yes, I remember this case. A high school senior at age 12.
She's a pint-size Machiavelli. She manipulated events, fabricated evidence, and in the end...
She claimed that she did it because she loved Marlon. Some warped sense of justice. She graduated later that summer, became legally emancipated from her parents and went off to Harvard, pre-med.
Not recently. Look, accident or no accident, Marlon killed before. Hannah sunk this case, Marlon got a free pass, and now he's killed again.
Well, we don't know that just yet. I mean, we don't have Marlon's DNA to compare with the semen that was found in the victim. All the old evidence was expunged with the verdict.
We're not supposed to let them get away, right?
I don't know Sara, it's going to be tough to get a warrant.
I need Marlon West's DNA. If his semen is in Kira Dellinger, it puts him at the murder.
Look, they had a known sexual relationship, so there's no evidence of rape. And I don't know if you know this, but Marlon's mother and father were killed in a car accident last year. Judge Bowman is going to be very sensitive to that. It could look like harassment.
Jim, are you going to talk to the judge or not?
Wow, you really got it out for this kid. What's the deal here, Sara?
Marlon West has killed before.
Not according to a jury of his peers.
Did you have fun talking to Kira Dellinger's parents?
Must've been a lot of screaming and crying and despair.
There usually is. What's your point, Sara?
My point is, if we had done our job right the first time, Marlon West would be in jail, and Kira Dellinger would still be alive. Talk to the judge.
I'm telling you, I didn't kill Kira. I've never lied to you. Not once. You just never believe me. When I'm guilty, you want me to be innocent. When I'm innocent, you want me to be guilty.
Hey, you know what, Marlon? You can save it, 'cause unlike most people, you're not going to get me to underestimate you. I already know you're every bit as smart as your sister, especially when it comes to creating confusion.
He didn't kill Kira. He cared about her.
Hannah, what makes you think that I would believe anything that you tell me?
Hannah (smiles sweetly): I suppose I'm an optimist. College has been a difficult adjustment for Marlon, especially after we lost our parents.
You're not really, though. When will Marlon be able to leave?
Well, we are going to keep him here as long as we possibly can.
At least that's honest. It also seems a little vindictive.
Given your brother's history, I think it's pretty sensible.
What's wrong, Sara? You're different than you used to be. You're angry. And a little sad, too. Why?
If you want to spend more time with your brother, I recommend you invest in a good lawyer, Hannah.
I don't think Kira punched Marlon. I think Hannah picked up the tooth from a fight that Marlon had earlier in the evening. And I think she planted it on Kira. [Grissom is silent as he thinks about it] That's crazy.
This kid is spinning me in circles, again.
You know, Sara, some cases, some suspects, can get under your skin. Like this tooth. But you can't let 'em make you feel bad.
