Early Rollout
Rating 80
The investigation reveals that a fortune in jewelry was stolen and that the victims were once involved in the porn industry. Back at the lab, Catherine makes a startling confession to Grissom, and Brass questions Sara about an alleged health problem. Warrick confronts Greg over unprofessional conduct after Greg shows up on the scene ill-prepared.
Catherine: "Early morning call-out, the worst. Where did you come from?"
Gil: "Home."
Catherine: "Did you get any sleep?"
Gil: "No. You?"
Catherine: "About a half an hour."

Gil: "I was watching the world series of poker. Waiting for Sam Farha to light his cigarette."
Catherine: "Mm-hmm."
Brass: "Ever been to the Acid Drop?"
Catherine: "I try to avoid those places."
Brass: "The victims were the owners. Mike Trent and his wife Laurel. Both shot execution-style back of the head. A neighbor walking the dog found 'em. Mike used to own a semi-pro hockey team with some other guy. He made a ton of money, sunk it all into clubs like Acid Drop, uh, Psychedelic Hoe-Down ..."

Officer: "Captain Brass."
Brass: "... fun joints."
Brass turns and leaves with the Officer who had called him.
Catherine: "Looks like they never got out of the driveway."
Gil: "She dropped where she was shot, but he looks like he was dragged."

Catherine: "You drag a body away to hide it, not down a driveway for the world to see it."
Gil: "Unless that was the point."
Catherine: "We're mid-case. Why do we have to do this now?"

Gil: "I have to get this evaluation in, or I'm gonna get written up."
Catherine: "Okay. My goals. Mm ... oh, all right, okay."
She takes a seat in front of Gil's desk.
Catherine: "For starters, I'd like two consecutive nights off. I would like to cut my triples down to ten a year instead of the usual twenty, and, uh, I would love to find a reliable baby-sitter, so I could have myself some kind of a personal life."
Gil: "You don't have a personal life?"

Catherine: "I ... write this down: I haven't had sex in six -- no -- seven months."
Gil: "How can I help?"

Catherine stares at Gil in shock, her eyes wide open.
Gil: "You. Advance, I mean. Do you ... have any interest in changing sections in the lab, for instance?"
Catherine: "Gil, how do you do this? Honestly, how do you juggle scheduling and vacations and ..."
Gil: "The goal of any supervisor is to teach someone how to take his place someday."
Catherine: "Are you going someplace?"
Gil: "You never know."
Catherine: "Are you considering me?"
Gil: "Why not? You're certainly qualified. But ... a CSI who uses the DNA lab to establish her own paternity ... calls into question ... her judgment, don't you think?"
Gil moves the paperwork in front of Catherine so she can see the evaluation.

Catherine: "You've left that out. Are you covering for me?"
Gil: "I believe that we've dealt with this issue, handled it internally. As far as I'm concerned, it's dead. Besides, you'll never do it again. So just sign your name by the red 'X.'"
Catherine: "Before I sign, um, since we're putting all of our cards on the table, there's something you should know. Sam Braun wrote me a check, and ... I cashed it."

Gil: "For how much?"
Catherine: "Enough to where Lindsay and I can do anything and ... not enough to where we can do nothing."
Gil: "Sam Braun was a murder suspect in one of your cases. How does this not look like a payoff?"
Catherine: "I consulted an attorney. It is a check from a father to a daughter. It is completely out of departmental jurisdiction."
Gil: "What about conflict of interest? Not just for you but for this lab."
Catherine: "Gil, I would never compromise you or the lab."
Gil: "Maybe not legally, but ethically? What else should I know, Catherine?"

Catherine: "That's everything."
She signs the evaluation, stands up and walks out of the office.

Catherine: "Oh ... you're still here. Uh ... So I'm leaving. Need anything?"

Gil: "No, I'm good."

Catherine: "Are we good?"

Gil: "We'll be fine."
Catherine: "Okay. I'll see you tomorrow."
Gil: "Going out?"
Catherine: "I've got some unfinished business to take care of. I'll see you."
She turns and leaves as Gil watches her go.
