Jackpot
Rating 90
Grissom visits a small Nevada town to investigate the death of a man whose severed head was found by a dog in some nearby woods; and Catherine receives an unexpected and unwelcome gift from her dad, which prompts her to visit him.
Gil (on phone): "Grissom."
Catherine: "Is the service actually bad out there or are you just keeping your phone off?"
Gil: "I'm sorry. I should've called."

Catherine: "This trip wouldn't have anything to do with you ducking case reviews, now would it?"
Gil: "How can you think that? You wouldn't mind taking care of those for me, would you?"
Catherine: "Oh, your job, my pay. Why would I care?"
Gil: "I'll make it up to you."
Catherine: "Yeah, you had better."
Catherine get's to Gil's office and her jaw drops open at the sight of his desk.

Catherine: "Hodges ID'd your leaf litter."
Gil: "Good. Thanks. I owe you one."
Gil hangs up the phone.
Alan Brooks: "Trouble with the wife?"
Gil: "Yeah. She hates it when we're apart."
Gil: "Hey, you think you can fix this window?"
Marty Cooperman: "Yeah, I think I can fix that."
Gil: "You know that kid that got murdered? We found his car up in the hills. In your uncle's old barn."
Marty: "Oh, I haven't been up there for years."
Gil: "That's understandable. It's hard to get to. Not too many gas stations around here. You must do pretty good business."
Marty: "Yeah, I got the only pumps for 23 miles. I do pretty good."
Gil: "You know, uh, the victim's car was full of gas. So you must've seen him, right, even though you said you didn't?"
Marty: "I can have your window fixed in a couple hours, Mr. Grissom, and then you can get back home. I think you should do that."
Marty turns and leaves as Gil's phone rings.
Gil (on phone): "Grissom."
Catherine: "Everybody in Sleepy Hollow still drawing a blank on the victim?"

Gil: "More or less."
Catherine: "Well, then somebody's lying. Ross Jenson was having a relationship with someone in Jackpot. Greg traced a series of romantic I.M.s from your victim's computer."
Gil: "Greg did?"
Catherine: "Yeah, he knows stuff. Pretty hot, too. Sounds like he was in love. Brass is still working on a court order for the name. You ever coming back?"
Gil: "Hopefully."

Scene stays with Catherine and Judy walks up to her handing her an envelope.
Judy: "Ms. Willows, this came for you, certified mail."
Catherine: "Oh. Thanks, Judy."
Catherine hangs up the phone and takes the envelope walking towards Gil's office. Looking at the envelops she sees that it is from the Rampart Casino. Opening the envelope she reveals a check.

Dale Sterling: "Hey ... you have a phone call. Line two. I think it's your wife."
Gil: "Thanks."
Gil picks up the phone: "Hello, dear."
Catherine: "The day Ross Jenson left Vegas, he used MapQuest to get directions from his dorm to Jackpot."

Gil: "Well, that makes sense. From what I've been able to gather, this was his first and only visit up here."
Catherine: "Well, that doesn't make sense. He was involved with someone in Jackpot for several months. There were traces of aspen leaves in his dorm room closet. I just assumed he'd been there before."
Gil: "Well, if I believe this was his first and only visit, how do we explain the leaves in his closet?"

Catherine: "He has a roommate."
Gil: "Does the roommate have a name?"
Catherine: "Yeah, his name is ... Eric Brooks."
Gil: "Eric Brooks?"
Dale: "Oh, yeah, that's Leland's boy. You guys going to tell him about his dad?"

Gil: "I don't suppose that comes with a warranty?"
Marty: "Nothing around here does, Mr. Grissom. Thanks for the business."
Alan: "Hey, Marty."
Marty doesn't reply, he simply heads back to the gas station.
Gil: "Does he ever talk to you?"
Alan: "Not one word since high school. Listen, when we found that torso in the hole, on the crest of that hill ... I recognized the kid's shirt, and I knew he'd been with Leland, so ..."
Gil: "So you assumed your brother was capable of murder."
Alan: "Didn't even ask him what happened."
Gil: "Questions, remember? Not asking them is what got everybody in trouble here in the first place."
Alan: "You don't keep any secrets, Mr. Grissom? Not even from your wife?"
Gil: "I used to. I'm trying to change."
Brooks: "It's a bitch. Have a good trip."
