CSI Files
Captain
According to CSI Files sources, “Living Doll” will open with an aerial view of the Las Vegas strip. The focus blurs, details flatten and colors shift, until the image appears as if the city has been transformed into a miniature.
Inside a 24 hour mini-mart at 2:00 a.m., a janitor mops the floor as a hooker thumbs through tabloids, a stoned teenager microwaves a burrito with the foil wrapper still on and the store clerk stares at his television, which is airing breaking news coverage of the death of boxer Happy Morales (a storyline featured in episode 721). The janitor’s mop slops water out of the bucket and onto the floor, accidentally spattering a pair of old red Keds sneakers.
A blood curdling scream fills the air. Natalie is revealed. Staring down at her shoes, she screams, frightening the janitor who is freaked out by her reaction. The janitor apologizes. Natalie says he’s using bleach. The janitor is confused as Natalie kicks off her shoes and runs out the door.
Natalie goes home to her apartment. The inside resembles a dollhouse with lace curtains, an electric candle in each window, Easter egg colored furniture with gingerbread trim, chintz pillows, silk lampshades with fringe, neatly arranged Limoges boxes and glass figurines. She goes to an armoire and pulls out a pair of lace trimmed socks, the kind little girls wear only they’re in her size.
There is a corkboard behind the armoire displaying photographs of the dead doll placed in each of the miniatures. Neatly taped to a nearby shelf are several clothing tags that all say, “Do not use bleach.”
Natalie hums a creepy tune as she pulls out two tiny pieces of white muslin cut in the shape of a human torso. She picks up a needle and thread and begins sewing the muslin pieces together, quick and efficiently. Then she begins stuffing the torso.
The next day Natalie heads to Art’s Hobby Shop. The store is filled with shelves of tiny food, tiny people, tiny toys, etc. The store owner, Art Schuster, is busy with a customer. Natalie tells him she needs to place a special order and amuses herself in the store while Art helps the customer. Natalie examines a model train car. Her hand shakes as she touches it. A flashback reminds of Ernie Dell’s train village.
In a second flashback, Natalie is in her apartment putting the finishing touches on the Barbara Tallman miniature (Tallman was killed in episode 716). Suddenly there is a knock on her door and she freezes. It’s Ernie Dell. They have a strange exchange, riddled with sexual undertones. Dell tells her she’s his special one; his best one. She kisses him on the nose, then mouth. He wants to know what she did with the miniatures. She looks away. He wants to know what any of the people ever did to her. She doesn’t want to talk about it. Dell explains that he’s just returned from the police station. They know he helped with some of the parts and that he delivered one of the miniatures to the old lady’s house. The police suspect him. She admits to killing the people and explains that it’s because they used bleach. Dell is saddened, recognizing that he loves her, but she’s crazy. He tells her he may have to go to jail. She says he can’t. Dell doesn’t want her to go to jail either and says he’d rather kill himself than lead her to slaughter.
Dell pleads with her to end the bleach crusade and do right by him on this. She tells him she understands.
The flashback ends, returning to present day with Natalie saying she’ll do right by him. Apparently, she didn’t understand at all. The doll she was constructing earlier now has chin length brown hair, a t-shirt, pants and a CSI vest. Natalie consults a sketch book. The doll is Sara Sidle.
