Finally got to re-watch this episode. And I found this to be one of the most intriguing, intense eps. of this season. So many twists and turns. And if someone had a serial killer nipping at their heels for 2 years taunting and tormenting them, plus a string of dead bodies in the wake, I might do excatly what Ray did. He was out of line in many ways in this episode, but he didn't care. I found Cath to be extrodinary in this epsiode. She was confidant and showed her supervisory skills extremly well. The whole CSI team were fantastic:bolian:
My summary of this stunning episode~
Watching the cunning Haskell eating a sweet treat, and acting all cool, all the while planning his next vile act. Poor Phil and Gloria having drinks with him and his also dreadul "wife" Tina. Putting a sedative powder in their drinks EWWW:klingon: Showing Langston having a restless night while trying to sleep. Nate asking Gloria how she met her husband pertaining actually to Ray, then she passes out. The he brutally kills Phil
Ray wakes up in a cold sweat jumps in the shower, then it shows Nate showering while blood goes down the drain, and him screaming, he's such a psycho:scream:
Cath calls Ray tells him they found another body in L.A. She's so right on so perfect in this one. Ray arrives in L.A. This is Det. Sosa's terriotory and he resents them being here >we meet Brodie, no real opinion yet I can't tell till I see her more. The only thing I did see that she was similar to Riley when she first arrived on the scene. Time will tell for me on her
dead body is Phil, he's all f...ed up. The all cover the crime scene so gory, Cath: "Ray I don't think you should be here", but Ray just forges thourgh and starts touching evidence anyway. Cath:: "Ray what are you doing"? He's not being reasonable nor would
I In a box Ray finds Gloria's music sheet and her ring.
Greg finds video of the last 3 nights, He's so adorable and so good at ths so proficent. It shows Phil and Gloria and Tina & Nate. Sosa:: '" I thought he changed his face"? Cath:: "We were wrong". Cath tells Greg what to do. Sosa:: "Don't forget it's till my city" [mine too, I was born there] Some great shots of this fabulous great city.. Ray thinks Gloria is dead, the 72 hour thing Cath:: "we'll see what the evidence says". Ray::" I don't think I can do this boss" So a cop starts to take him to the airport driving by the ocean, and he's got flashbacks of Nate, "you never forget your first The close up of Ray [gorgeous lips]
Ray asks the officer to stop at a bar, he wants a drink. So how did he know there was a bar here? A tacky little hole-in-the-wall place he downs a couple of shots:wtf:, then calls Doc "Your the only one who will understand, we all make choices, and she was the only only one I ever loved, is dead now and I have to do this, goodbye" enter Nick, Mr. handsome and the rock of CSI. He looks worried. And then Sara always wonderful and so pretty. Sara and Brodie process the crime scene. Sara:: "He popped 2 in Vegas, I hope Gloria wasn't one of them". She finds one of the weapons, he wanted ray to see tHe horror of this". Sosa:: " Ray ditched his ride he's dangerous, tell me he isn't armed"? Ray in the gun store those eyes, when he gets that intense stare-glare, he's scary, not like Haskell just serious right on serious. So he's got mega $$$, and buys a gun and a laptop. [where'd he get all that money?]
Cath calls Nick "I need you here in L.A., I can't find Ray. Nick: "I know he called Doc and it sounded like he was in a dark place, I'm on my way, I'll find his ass:rommie:
Greg researching Willoughby a guy who shot his wife in the '40's Ray is also reseaching stull on his new laptop, finds the
Penwick Hotel a seedy place from that era. He goes there, watches across the street, Tina sees him, runs but he catches her "You know why I'm here"? such great acting:thumbsup:
Nick arrives Cath introduces him to Sosa, he goes "Anyone left in Vegas to catch the crooks"? Nick "yeah there's still a couple of us, he's so cute
They find Tina dead, so gross and of couse it points to Ray, but Sara goes "Ray's not a murderer" Nick finds the creepy ticket "you never forget your first"
Ray enters his sleazy flea-bag hotel, and sitting in the shadows is a figure. [ I thought it was Nate] but it was Nick:bolian: Ray ::"How'd you find me"? Nick:: "I'm part hounddog":lol: it was the cell ping, so anyway "I'm not here to take you back I'm here to help you out" so sweet. He tells Nick about Tina, and says "you realize what he's doing don't you"? Ray :" yes he's isoloating me" Nick: "This sick bastard is leaving us a breadcrumb trail"
Greg runs the ticket stub with Hodges hovering as always, and he keeps bugging Greg about Ray and finally Greg goes "Shutup":rommie: He grabs the phone and asks Nick if he's going to go all "Dirty Harry" on him and if he knows where he is" he goes "NO"
The amusement park off the Santa Monica Pier, wow, I've been there many moons ago. It's really ancient. The
CAROUSEL Ray and Gloria had their first date in Baltimore on a carousel, Nick: "might be going into something here
Ray:: "You got my back"? Nick::
"ALWAYS", yes he does. So the Ray and Nate confrontation on the merry-go-round, he screams
"Gloria is still alive" and Nick comes in and says "Your under arrest you son-of-a-bitch", he splits and the cat and mouse chase begins. A cop tells both of them to put their guns down and handcuffs them Nick "I'm not getting down on my knees":guffaw: so once again he escapes, He's so cagey, crafty and cunning and keeps up the same crap over and over.
Sosa and Ray :where'd you get that gun" he lies and he goes "I don't care if he's in your head or you inside his, but you know what's going on here". Ray "Am I being charged with a crime"? Cath is pissed off at Nick says "I told you to find him and you had to have his back and go all on a cowboy vigilante mission" and to Ray "I'm sending you back to Vegas, do I have to post a guard at your door"? Ray: "No, that won't be necessary boss" Nick:: "We'll get him"
Doc meets Ray at the airport and they go back to the office, Doc: "I would have been here anyway"
Hodges lets Ray use his password cause Cath revoked his PC priviledges. he goes if you don't I'll go all "Dirty Harry" on you so Hodges knows her heard him on that earilier call:evil:
He asks him to get coffee and Greg arrives and Ray goes You could be part of the problem or part of the soulution" He's so distraught, that he's being a bit disrespectable to his co-workers wih good reason. Greg: "The solution" they're all understanding of this whole scenerio. So this Willoughby is Nate's dad by his 2nd wife and she was committed to a mental ward. Go figure.
Ray goes out to the farm and he sneaks around with his trusty flashlight finds Mr Thorpe half dead on the stairs, then he does die. He creeps to this room and wa-la there's Gloria all chained up. He goes "I'm going to get you out of here" she's all dazed and confused. The the door creaks open and there stands crazy, creepy, nutty freaky Haskell
"Welcome home Ray" :klingon:
