Episode 1 - Why We Fight
SPEEDLE (VO)
The following events occur a day
after the events in CSI: Miami -
Race Against Time.
FADE IN:
INT. DUQUESNE'S APARTMENT BUILDING - MORNING
SPEEDLE walks up the stairs and checks his watch to make
sure he's not waking up DUQUESNE.
SPEEDLE
(thinks aloud)
Ten-thirty.
(he looks at the door
to DUQUESNE's apartment)
CUT TO:
INT. DUQUESNE'S APARTMENT
DUQUESNE is sitting in her kitchen with a mug full of coffee
in her hand as she reads the Miami Sun which is on the table
in front of her when she hears a knock on the door.
DUQUESNE
(stands up and walks
over to the door)
Who is it?
SPEEDLE (VO)
(muffled because of
the door)
Cable.
DUQUESNE
(smiles as she opens
the door)
Hey, Tim. How did you sleep last
night?
SPEEDLE
Not real well, the hotel I'm
staying at has the lumpiest
mattresses you've ever layed on.
That's not why I'm here though.
DUQUESNE
Well, then, by all means, come in.
(she opens the door
wider and moves out of
the way to allow
SPEEDLE to come into
her apartment's living room)
SPEEDLE
(walks in and sits
down on the couch)
Thanks.
DUQUESNE
(closes the door
behind SPEEDLE)
Would you like anything to eat or
drink?
SPEEDLE
I'm fine, thanks.
DUQUESNE
Alright
(she grabs her mug of
coffee and sits down
on a love-seat across
from SPEEDLE)
So, what's up?
SPEEDLE
I owe you an explanation about
the whole me "dying" thing.
DUQUESNE
(nods)
SPEEDLE
I was working on a case in July
when apparently the evidence got
contaminated and I was supposedly
the last person to handle it.
Stetler instantly placed the
blame on me and told me he was
getting me a job in undercover in
Houston. He told me that my
mistake would put the lab in a
very bad position, possibly even
start an investigation into the
lab's integrity. Which is
something I didn't want to happen.
DUQUESNE
(sips her coffee)
Well, why didn't you just quit?
SPEEDLE
Hold on, I'm getting there. Well
Stetler said that if I quit then
I'd have to give a reason and
that'd also open the lab up for
investigation. The only option he
gave me was faking my death.
DUQUESNE
So. Now what are you gonna do?
You helped save me, don't you
need to get back to Houston?
SPEEDLE
I quit that job.
DUQUESNE
Why?
SPEEDLE
While we were looking for you I
expressed my regrets and H told
me that there will always be a
place for me here at home.
DUQUESNE
So you're joining CSI again?
SPEEDLE
After H and I take care of Stetler.
DUQUESNE smiles before she gets up and gives SPEEDLE a hug.
DUQUESNE
Welcome back.

(appears on screen)
Meanwhile...
(fades)
STETLER is sitting in his chair awaiting CAINE's arrival.
He's looking through an old file on SPEEDLE which was
possibly going to be used if SPEEDLE decided to stay on CSI
instead of faking his death and going to Houston.
CAINE
(walks into STETLER's office)
Rick, you wanted to see me?
STETLER
Yes, sit.
CAINE
I prefer standing, thank you.
STETLER
What is this I'm hearing about
Speedle being back in Miami?
CAINE
Speedle is back in Miami, that's
correct. He wanted to help find
Calleigh.
STETLER
Do you realize what this could
possibly do to the lab? I don't
want the FBI swarming this place
should they figure out what's
going on. And besides there's no
place for him here. He's supposed
to be in Houston playing dead for
your CSIs.
CAINE
My CSIs have gone through enough
in the past year. They just found
out that one of their closest
friends didn't really die. I had
to tell Calleigh to go talk to a
professional about her depression.
Speedle's back in Miami and I'm
not forcing him back to Houston
anytime soon.
STETLER
Then I will.
CAINE
No you aren't because right now
this is out of your power.
Speedle isn't back at the crime
lab and you can't do anything
about it yet.
STETLER
Sometimes I honestly wonder why
we fight, Horatio.
CAINE
You're just trying to get back at
me because I got promoted to
lieutenant first. That's your
answer...
(he turns and walks to
the doorway)
that's why we fight.
(he leaves the room)
