This is our investigative team on the Jessica Drake murder. All the evidence will be processed by the people in this room and only by the people in this room. We start over on everything. Chain of custody of evidence stays within this group. If something needs to go to DNA, one of us drops it off, oversees the analysis, and then retrieves the results. If the killer had access to trace evidence we collected from the scene, it could already be compromised. So pay attention and triple-check all your results.

I'm coming to the rescue, 'cause it looks like you have wrinkles all over your forehead...
It's not a wrinkle. It's a frown.
Oh, um, that anniversary party for my parents tomorrow night, uh, you agreed to endure...don't worry about it.
Whoa, you're dumping me?
No. I just don't want you to feel obligated with all that's going on. I mean, my whole family would love to see you, but, well, you know how they can be.
I'm sure I can handle it. I'll be here.
Okay. I gave you an out. You've been warned.
You make it sound dangerous (Both smile).
Mac Taylor, I adore you. I value our friendship more than words can express. And you don't need to feel any obligation to... (sighs) ...share any mushiness. Your smile is adequate enough. I just... I just needed to get that out. We just work so hard, day in and day out, and we never really turn to those around us and tell them how we feel.
Mac (to Jo): Who do you see in this picture?
You, me, Sheldon, Danny, Lindsay.
How many lab techs?
Three. They were assigned to the scene.
The only people taking crime scene photos were Danny and Hawkes. We're all in the picture, including the techs... so who took that picture?
Jo: You're thinking the killer, and this photo was a message.
Someone who could get access to our cell phones and send us that photo, someone who wouldn't look out of place at the crime scene, who could gain entry to the evidence, someone who's playing "catch me if you can." Not only was our victim part of the crime lab, I'm thinking so was our killer.
Are the other lab techs still being questioned? It just seems, you know, we've decided guilt by job description, and Harlan seems like our primary suspect.
You think he did it, Adam?
Uh, no.
Do you know who did?
No.
We have a responsibility to Jessica Drake. Someone in this lab thinks they have the advantage. If it's Harlan, we'll prove it; if it's not... then we continue to do our job. There's an unspoken rule of trust within these walls. That gets broken... it's inexcusable.
This is personal for Mac, Adam. He's not gonna treat anyone with kid gloves.
Well, it's personal for me, too. More than anybody in this room, I spend the most time with the lab techs. I-I started where they did. They don't want to be treated with kid gloves. They just want to be treated with respect. Look, Jessica, um... she's not just another girl in a white lab coat. Okay? She was a friend.
We could build a profile, you know... a woman, size seven shoe, six one.
We're off to a really bad start there, buddy. Not one of our suspects fits that profile. None are that tall.
JLJo and Lindsay
(Looking at each other) High heels.
