After The Show
Rating 85
Catherine takes the lead in finding a missing model, believed to be dead, after the prime suspect insists on talking only to her. The news doesn't sit well with Sara and Nick, who each hope to use the case to improve their chances of getting a promotion.
Catherine: "Who reported Julie Waters missing?"
Nick: "Her mom. She said she talks to her every day. Called the station when she couldn't reach her by nightfall."
Sara: "Grissom sent Nick and I to her apartment on the missing. Her bills were paid, ready to mail."
Nick: "Doesn't look like any of her toiletries were missing."
Sara: "She even left her birth control pills. Strange."
Nick: "Her mom said she had dinner with the producers of Real Vegas Showgirls."
Catherine: "What's that?"
Nick: "It's a reality-based show shooting here in Vegas."
Catherine: "What about her car?"
Nick: "It was found four days ago at Dante's pizza on boulder highway -- parking lot."
Gil walks into the room, joining in the conversation.
Sara: "Locked. No signs of foul play."
Catherine: "Purse?"
Sara: "It's the only thing that was missing."
Gil: "What about the drunk guy?"
Nick: "A professional photographer, lives alone ..."
Gil: "You collected everything at his house -- no evidence of Julie?"
Catherine: "Although the place was papered with articles about her, all acquired after the fact."
Officer Joe: "I was following protocol."
Brass: "Come on, Joe, I ask you to do one thing and this happens?"
Officer Joe: "I'm sorry, Captain. I got called away on a PCP ..."
Gil and Catherine turn the corner and Brass stops the officer from continuing.
Brass: "Joe."
Catherine: "Where is he?"
Brass: "Getting stitched up, but he left something for you."
Gil and Catherine walk into the interview room and see the message written in blood on the wall.

Catherine: "'I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt anyone.'"
Gil looks at the table, the metal lining on it is broken and has blood on it. There is also blood on the floor.
Catherine: "'Anyone'? What's that supposed to mean? That Julie Waters isn't his first victim? He's done this before?"

Howard Delhomme is being escorted past the room just as Catherine turns around. Howard stares at Catherine, transfixed on her. Gil looks up and watches Howard staring at Catherine.
Gil: "You want to take him into the next room, please?"

Howard is pulled out of the doorway, still staring at Catherine.

Gil and Catherine walk Howard back to the car.
Gil: "We're not finding anything. You said she was here."
Howard: "I'm getting confused. All these people here."
Catherine: "You'd be less confused if it was just you and me?"
Howard: "I see pictures of her on tv, in the magazines, the newspapers..."
Gil: "Mr. Delhomme, we're going to take you back to the station."
Howard: "I'd rather go home."
Catherine: "Not yet."
The officer pushes Howard into the car.
Officer: "Get in."
Catherine: "Hey, uh ... We need him in one piece."
Howard stares at Catherine from inside the car. She sees his stare and he smiles at her, then the car pulls away.
Catherine: "All right, at least we can hold onto him for a while."
Gil: "Well, the public defender may have him out on bail by tomorrow morning."
Nick: "Meanwhile, we still haven't found anything. Now, did anyone stop to think this guy might just be nuts?"
Catherine: "Well, until we find the body, he is all the evidence we've got."
Sara: "We don't even know if he did it."
Catherine: "Oh, I've got a good feeling about this."
Sara: "So does the suspect. The only reason that we're out here today on this wild goose chase is because he wanted to hang out with you. It's weird."
Catherine: "Believe me, I'd rather follow the evidence, but if it takes having the evidence follow me ..."
Nick: "The original missing persons call was mine and Sara's."
Catherine: "I'm the Senior CSI here."
Gil: "Uh-uh. I'm the Senior CSI here."
Catherine: "You want it?"
Nick: "Hold on, now. This is a career case, Grissom. You know Sara and I both put in for a promotion. If we work this, we're on departmental radar here."
Catherine: "I got the most high-profile cases under my belt; I think that the Sheriff would rest easier knowing that I was heading it up."
Sara: "It's a big department. There's a lot of room at the top."
Nick: "We wouldn't ask for it if we couldn't do it."
Gil looks down, thinking, then looks back up at the group, not saying anything.
Sara: "Fine."
Nick doesn't say a thing. He just leaves with Sara. Catherine turns and looks at Gil.
Catherine: "You going to have my back?"
Gil: "I always have your back."

Catherine: "He wanted me. He's got me."

Catherine watches an interview with Julie Waters on tv.
Julie (on tv): "The first day that I got here I went straight to the Tropicana. I walked right past all the slots and the tables, to the tiffany theater. I snuck in, and I just sat there in the back row, just watching. I couldn't get the smile off of my face. I didn't even see when the security guard came up to me, and he told me that I had to leave. You know, 'all rehearsals are closed'."
Gil walks into the lab and watches the video with Catherine.
Julie (on tv): "So I got up. And then he turns to me, and he says, um ... 'go ahead and stay'."
Gil: "Is there anything on these tapes?"
Catherine: "Nothing. How's it going with the Sheriff?"
Gil: "He wants to know why you're working with young Greg. You could have had Warrick, you know. Or asked Nick to help."
Catherine: "I need someone without an agenda."
Gil: "Like when Fung brought in Mazzola? Everybody lost."
Catherine: "This isn't O.J."
Gil: "Could be. A trainee on a career case..."
Catherine: "I know what I'm doing."
Catherine: "Robbins rushed the protocol. Released Julie's body to her parents."
Gil: "So they could take her home to Provo."
Catherine: "Mmm. Thousands of girls come to Vegas every year just hoping to beat the odds."
Gil: "Mmm, some of them do."
Catherine: "And some of them don't."

Gil: "Multiple abrasions on her cervix."
Catherine: "Sexual assault kit had no semen, no trace evidence."
Gil: "So, it's possible he used a foreign object on her."
Gil: "You did good, Cath."

Catherine: "I had help."
Gil: "How are things with you and Nick and Sara?"
Catherine: "They're good. They're pros."
Paula Francis (on tv): "This case has been one of the most high-profiled in this reporter's memory. Never before have I seen ..."
Catherine: "All he had to do was stay quiet."
Gil: "Unlike Robyn Knight, Julie Waters became Las Vegas' postmortem sweetheart. The media as moral conscience."

Catherine: "She couldn't get away from him and he couldn't get away from her."

Julie Waters (on tv): "I think that is why I would be perfect for your show. Well, at least, that's what my dad thinks. He always says, 'Julie, people can't help but love you'. And it's true."
