Fun and Games: Episode Ratings: Pirates of the Third Reich

Pirates of the Third Reich Rating When the body of a young woman is found half-buried in the desert outside of Vegas, Grissom teams up with Lady Heather (Clarke) to discover the cause of the victim's unusual death. The mystery deepens when the CSIs discover that the woman was participating in a clinical study where doctors performed experiments for sleep deprivation.
Brass: "Apartment 106. Landlord was getting ready to evict her." Gil: (Reads authors' names of some books on the table.) " 'Freud, Goethe, Rilke.' In German. Briefe an einen jungen Dichter." Brass: "Nothing sounds good in German." Catherine: "How did she get from Harvard to here?" Brass: "Practice, practice, practice." Gil: "How do you know she was at Harvard?" Catherine: "Lady Heather told me. She was very proud of her. Well, it looks as though she hasn't checked her mail in ten weeks. The postmark dates back to November 12th." Brass: "Well, she died yesterday. Where's she been all this time?" Gil: (Finds note on the table.) "This looks like an appointment. 'Betz, 11/12, 7:00 pm.' " (Presses 'Play' button on the answering machine.) Machine voice: "First message:" Audrey: "Hi, this is Audrey at the Betz Clinic. We're calling to see how you're feeling. Give us a call." (machine beeps) Machine voice: "Second message:" Audrey: "Hi, this is Audrey from the Betz Clinic. We didn't hear from you, and we have some follow up questions about your test. Please call us." (machine beeps) Machine voice: "Third message:" Woman 2: "This is Citibank. We're trying to reach Zoe Kessler..." Catherine: "Betz Clinic?" Brass: "Yeah. I'll check it out." Gil: (Picks up a picture from the drawer.) "Heterochromia. It appears Zoe had one blue eye and one brown eye." Brass: "The pirate had one blue eye." (Catherine and Greg have been watching videos from the Betz Clinic's sleep study.) Catherine: "Wolfowitz works at the clinic. He has access to both victims. One victim is found less than a mile from his house, which smells like human decomp. How do we get to him?" Gil: "Rambar checked rare book collections. This guy likes to steal in his own backyard. UNLV library is missing plate 62. It's enough for us to get a warrant." Catherine: "Gil, I saw him. Yesterday. He wasn't frozen. I mean, maybe he knew too much and someone at Betz sensed that we were getting too close and..." Gil: "So what? They dunked him in liquid nitrogen? Cryogenically froze him?" Catherine: "Well, I know what I saw." Gil: "You've got to find some explanation." Catherine: "I'm on it." Catherine: "So, none of the fingerprints from the car belong to Jacob Wolfowitz. They're all a match to a Leon Sneller." *Interesting note: CC reads, 'John Sneller.' It also appears that Catherine/Marg says, 'John Sneller,' although we distinctly hear, 'Leon Sneller.' The name on the computer screen is 'Leon Sneller.' ** Gil: "Who?" (Close-up of computer screen.) Catherine: "That's Leon Sneller." [CC reads: 'John Sneller.'] Gil: "Looks like Wolfowitz, only younger." Catherine: "Which explains how I saw and how Lady Heather...did a dead guy." Gil: "Identical twins." Catherine: "I thought that she killed him, too. I would've. I mean, I wouldn't have slept with him first, but..." Gil: "Same DNA, different prints. So all the DNA that we attributed to Wolfowitz, could be Sneller's." Catherine: "Which makes you wonder who's on the autopsy table. Sneller joined the army in 1985. He was stationed at a field hospital near Berlin until about a year ago." (Flashback with Catherine's voice-over.) "At which point, I think that he came to Vegas, put his brother on ice, started impersonating him. I mean, I know this theory's a little out there, but given the evidence...it's the only conclusion that makes any sense." Gil: "Occam's razor, principle of parsimony. If you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." Catherine: "Given twins...go with twins." Gil: "Well, this isn't a torture chamber, it's a time capsule." Brass: "Wolfowitz, uh, inherited this place from his parents. Took over the deed ten years ago." Catherine: "Love what he's done with the place." (Picks up a pill bottle.) "I found a blue pill in the car. Tox came back, didn't match any known pharmaceutical." Brass: "Sampling the company candy." (Catherine opens a drawer, finding a Menorah, while Gil walks across some creaking floorboards.) Catherine: (Holds up Menorah.) "Shabbat shalom." Brass: "Jewish?" Gil: (Pulls back the carpet covering the creaking floorboards.) "Well." (Pulls up the handle of the trap door that leads down a set of stairs.) (Brass, Gil, and Catherine descend the stairs and enter a makeshift laboratory. They look at different sections of the laboratory.) Gil: "It appears he was meticulously documenting experiments. This one looks like it deals with craniometry. I think he was measuring skulls to determine intelligence." Catherine: "I think this is a gynecological device from a hundred years ago." Gil: (reads from a plaque on the wall:) " 'Arbeit macht frei.' Work will set you free. These words hung over the gates at Auschwitz." Catherine: "Zoe Kessler would've made the perfect uberwoman except for her one brown eye." Brass: "So I guess, uh, what nature couldn't fix, our Dr. Mengele could, is that it?" (Picks up a sharp instrument.) Catherine: "Hey, check out the face of the clock." (Shines her flashlight on the clock. It has no numbers.) Gil: "No numbers." (They hear groaning coming from a secret room behind the clock. He and Brass move the clock aside.) (On the floor inside the room are Conjoined twins. Catherine goes to one, Gil to the other.) Catherine: "Sir? Sir?" (Gil removes the sheet covering one twin.) Brass: "I'll call a paramedic." Gil: "This one's dead."
