Fun and Games: Episode Ratings: I Like To Watch

I Like To Watch Rating A camera crew from a reality series follows the CSI team during the first 48 hours of an investigation involving an upscale real estate agent found dead in her glamorous high-rise apartment. The cameras reveal the intricacies of how the CSIs piece together the case, but also delve into how each member of the team deals differently with the emotional and physical demands of their work.
Sofia: "Vic's name's Christina Hollis. She's a sales agent for the building. Neighbor said she just came running out of the unit, delirious and hysterical." Catherine: "Sexual assault?" Sofia: "Definitely. I'm gonna go with her to the hospital, see if I can get a statement." Catherine: "Okay." Gil: "Video cameras. That's good for us." Catherine: "Vic probably thought it was good for her, too." Camera Man: "Excuse me, hi, can you identify yourself for the camera, please? Just look right into the lens." Gil: "What is this?" Camera Man: "It's a reality crime show. We're following you for this investigation. Sheriff promised full cooperation." Catherine: "We got that memo. They're Hard Crime." Camera Man: "That's us--we put the folks who look in the microscopes under the microscopes." Catherine: (to Camera Man) "Right." (To Gil) "You see, it's good P.R. for the department. Try not to bust their chops, okay?" (Gil and Catherine get on the elevator.) Camera Man: "You ever see the show? It's got a lot of forensics." Gil: "There's too many forensics shows on TV." (At the crime scene) Brass: "The door knob, the frame, the strike plate are all clean. No sign of a forced entry." Gil: "So she might have known her assailant." Catherine: "Either that or he talked his way in." (Catherine and Gil walk under the yellow crime tape.) Brass: (To Camera Crew) "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Stay behind the crime tape." Camera Man: "Don't cut. Can you get all that?" (Gil and Catherine shine their flashlights at the crime scene.) Camera Man: "Mr. Grissom, can you please describe what you're seeing?" Gil: "A long night." (Gil and Catherine take pictures of the scene.) Catherine: "Candles burned down. A bouquet in the trash. Flowers and candles--sure seems like a date." Gil: "Some date." Catherine: "Got a void in the wax." (She takes a picture.) Gil: "Some kind of white flaky substance." (He tape lifts the stuff.) "This looks like blood, but..." (He swabs the place, but it's not blood.) Catherine: "I think it's nail polish." Catherine: "Wendy ran the semen, no hits in CODIS." Gil: "Yeah, the, uh...ex-boyfriend didn't match any of the prints on the duct tape, either." Catherine: "SAE found oral, vaginal, and anal smears positive for semen. Degraded and intact sperm suggests multiple deposits." Gil: "Which means that he probably raped her on and off for a long time." Catherine: "Yeah, well, tox cam back--lorazepam in the vic's blood." Gil: "I didn't find any prescription bottles in her apartment." Catherine: "No, nor did I. Lorazepam is a hypnotic sedative, and I know in high doses, it causes acute amnesia. Maybe that's what he was counting on to cover his tracks." Gil: "Well, it usually takes an hour for a drug like that to kick in. How did he subdue her in the meantime?" Catherine: "Low-profile entry, sedatives, duct tape--I mean, if he's not a serial, he will be soon." Archie: "According to surveilence, the victim came home at 6:19 p.m. And the firemen were in her building at approximately 7:00. They took the stairs, so we don't have them on this camera. But take a look at this--parking structure entrance." Catherine: "Well, he certainly looks the part." Archie: "He touched the door with his bare hands. Might get prints." Catherine: "The time code says 6:36 p.m., but the alarm went out at 6:58. That's 22 minutes later." Archie: "What kind of fireman comes before the fire?" Gil: "Someone who knows it's coming." Camera Man: "Mr. Grissom, we may have missed that. Can you say it one more time for the camera?" (Gil glares at the Camera Man.) Gil: "A foot fetish is a visual pathology. The suspect would have had to be close enough to the vic to see her toes and then get aroused." Catherine: "We live in a desert, Gil. You want to see a woman's bare feet, all you have to do is look down." Sara: "Turnouts were a dead end. And there's nothing to track off of the smoke bombs." Greg: "I've got hundreds of names of people who purchased nitrous oxide in the last six months." Catherine: "Well, you've got to narrow that down." Greg: "That is narrowed down." Catherine: "Okay, Our rapist is a foot fetishist. That's what gets him off. He has to see his victim's feet somewhere. If we can figure out where, maybe we can find him." Greg: "What do the victims have in common?" Catherine: "Christina Hollis. African American. Single. Lives and works at the Omni. She lives on the 11th floor, so there's no real way for a peeper to see in. And she uses the gym, but not the pool." Sara: "Stephanie Daniels lives across town. Caucasian. Also single. No gym membership, but she does use the pool at her apartment complex regularly. There's a couple of adjacent buildings. It's possible that somebody could see into her place with a telescope, but she has shades and curtains. I kind of doubt it." Greg: "So they have nothing in common." Gil: "Sure, they do. They both have feet. We may have a third victim who may also be our first victim. Tara Weathers. Last month, she claimed she was drugged in a bar and woke up in her apartment with her toes freshly painted. They did a tox on her at the time. Found lorazepam in her system." Catherine: (Takes picture from Gil.) "Well, she does have nice feet. And the nail polish looks like a similar shade to Christina Hollis's." Gil: "Yeah. So the pattern starts a month ago. Our guy drugs Tara Weathers in a bar, takes her to her apartment, paints her toes, leaves. Two weeks later, he steps it up." Sara: "Poses as a firefighter, places smoke bombs in an apartment building, only things don't work out the way that he planned. The building catches fire, and he runs." Catherine: "He waits a couple more weeks, does it again, but this time he goes all the way." Gil: "Yeah. And now he's escalating." Greg: "Where does he go from here?"
