Re: Gil <3 Cath #22: PureJoy - What Would He Do WO her
So, has everyone finished up with Still life then? Again, not one of my favorites. We can move on and get done with these season 6 episodes. (getting close)
Now - Werewolves - me likes! Very much!!!
* --Allison--
Leisha Hailey did an incredible job playing Allison. I can only imagine the hours spent sitting in the make-up chair getting all of that hair attached. Speaking of Leisha - I'm listening to The Murmurs right now "la di da"
* --cranky David?--
CATH: Hey, Dave, James.
(David struggles with the gurney)
DAVID PHILLIPS: Aw, c'mon.
CATH: Hey, Dave, you've got to pick it up.
NICK: Lift with the knees, Super Dave, lift with the knees.
CATH: Yeah.
DAVID PHILLIPS: (irritated) Thanks, I ... have done this before.
Awwww. Super Dave is having a bad day.
* --think outside the box--
BOBBY: Most bullets are copper, but take a look at the fatal bullet. It's silver.
CATH: How do you kill a werewolf?
Awwww Cath, you're so sharp!
* --once a CSI, always a CSI?--
SOFIA: I've been waiting for you.
SARA: Sorry. I headed out as soon as I got your page.
SOFIA: Really? 'Cause, uh ... I left a voicemail several hours ago.
SARA: What's up?
SOFIA CURTIS: The anonymous call was traced to this phone booth, so I figured you'd want to process.
SARA: There is fingerprint powder on the phone.
SOFIA: Yeah, I got bored waiting. I thought you might need some help. No usable prints, but check out the floor.
SARA: There's a lot of hair. Similar to the crime scene.
Sara's met her match!
* --Cath finds Allison--
CATH: Would you step out? Please?
ALLISON BRADFORD: You want to see what I look like?
CATH: No, I ... no. I don't want you to have to hide from me. Allison ... I'm a scientist. Excess body hair does not evoke fear ... or morbid fascination. It's simply a genetic quirk, like ... blue eyes or flat feet.
(they shake hands)
CATH: It's nice to meet you, Allison.
ALLISON BRADFORD: How can I help you, Ms. Willows?
*sigh* that handshake was so cute.
* --help me?--
ALLISON BRADFORD: I hope ... I hope you'll help me.
CATH: Help you-- with what?
ALLISON BRADFORD: Staying secret. It's best for everyone.
How could you say "no" to that?
* --cut him off at the knees--
HODGES: Oh, good, you're here. I love an audience.
GREG: Well, don't expect any applause.
This strikes me as funny, because I remember all of the times that Greg would say when he was doing DNA, that he liked to be able to make a presentation.
* --she calls herself a mother?--
GRISSOM: Mrs. Bradford, why does Allison think you're dead?
RITA BRADFORD: I thought it would be easier.
GRISSOM: Easier than what?
RITA BRADFORD: I did the best I could, Mr. Grissom. Their father couldn't look at 'em. Took off when they were a few weeks old. Babies are supposed to be cute.
GRISSOM: Mrs Bradford....
RITA BRADFORD: At the time, we were living in Fresno. Family, friends stopped visiting. They were scared of my children. Especially Allison. She ... she looked like ... when she started nursery school, the kids teased her, called her names,, made her cry.
GRISSOM: So you moved to Vegas and decided to keep her a secret?
RITA BRADFORD: It was best for everyone but she became completely dependent on me, and for eighteen years, I took care of her.
GRISSOM: I'm sorry, but I still don't understand why she believes you're dead.
RITA BRADFORD: One day, Allison wanted to take a walk ... outside. I didn't want anyone to see her. We had a fight. I locked her in her room -- my own child - because she wanted fresh air. At that moment, I knew I needed to leave. I told Hayden to tell her I was in a car accident. Two days later, he put on a black suit, told her he was going to my funeral.
GRISSOM: And she didn't go because she couldn't leave the house.
GRISSOM: You thought it would be easier for her to accept your death than your abandonment?
RITA BRADFORD: Please don't judge me. I spend enough time doing that.
Gil's judging again? Go figure!
* --Good cop/bad cop--
CATH: Did you kill him?
ALLISON BRADFORD: What?!
CATH: Did you?
ALLISON BRADFORD: Hayden's all I had. He's the only one that knew about me. Why would I kill him?
CATHE: Because he was going to leave you ... for Michelle. That had to have been scary for you.
ALLISON BRADFORD: You think I'm some sort of animal? I wanted him to be happy. I loved Hayden, I wanted him to be happy.
SOFIA CURTIS: Did Michelle know about you?
ALLISON BRADFORD: No, but he said that he was going to tell her and that she was going to move in here and she would accept me -- Hayden promised.
CATHERINE: Allison ... if you didn't kill him, who did?
SOFIA CURTIS: Okay, I'm sorry. We can do this here or we can take this downtown.
ALLISON BRADFORD: No, please. Please.
CATH: Okay, okay. I know that you're scared ... but you have got to tell us what happened.
You could see the hard time Catherine was having at trying to be tough with Allison, all the while hoping that Allison was as innocent as she had thought to begin with.
* -- rock n roll, baby--
GRISSOM: You can't get a warrant unless she goes on record.
CATH: Well, just hear me out. We have a rock with Brent Moyer's fingerprints on it.
GRISSOM: Yeah, but Allison told you that Brent entered through the front door. The rock is extraneous evidence, isn't it?
CATH: Well, let's just leave Allison's testimony out of it. We simply inform the judge that our suspect's fingerprints were on a rock that may have been used to break a window at the murder scene.
GRISSOM: If you have no qualms about filing the petition, then file it.
CATH: Oh, no, I don't have any qualms. It's just that my moral compass doesn't always point in the same direction as yours.
GRISSOM: So if I tell you not to file it, you won't?
CATHERINE: I'd take it under advisement. Why, is that what you're recommending?
GRISSOM: How many times have we been prevented from getting a warrant when we knew we had the right guy?
CATH: Way too many.
GRISSOM: Right. So rock and roll.
*squee* Cath's little shoulder roll & giggle - awwwwww. Interesting to note that this is one of the first times that Gil doesn't go by the book, and in a sense, allows Cath to "hide the evidence". Also cute to see that Cath still seeks Gil's approval for something like this. I like her "i'd take it under advisement" line.
* --the guy's an ass--
CATH: And the silver bullet?
BRENT MOYER: Figured it was appropriate.
CATH: So you left your parents', you went back to your place to make the bullet and then you went over to Hayden's.
BRENT MOYER: Yeah.
CATH: So it was premeditated. I guess you can forget heat of the moment as a mitigating factor here.
BRENT MOYER: I did the right thing. My sister's out there waiting. Since I confessed, can I at least go out and talk to her? Explain why I did it.
SOFIA CURTIS: Why don't I do that for you.
You know, I kind of like Sofia in this episode. She & Cath worked well together. They should've had Sofia on Cath's team when the shifts were split - than again, TMTB couldn't have played their Sara/Sofia angst-for-Gil card.
* --Cath/Allison part 3--
CATH: Allison ... what are you going to do now?
ALLISON BRADFORD: I'll be okay. It's not like when I was a kid. I can pretty much get anything I need off the Internet.
CATH: And you're set with money?
ALLISON BRADFORD: I'll manage.
CATH: Allison, I have every confidence that you're going to be just fine here, but ... If you ever need anything, would you please give me a call?
ALLISON BRADFORD: I-I will, Ms. Willows.
CATH: Catherine.
ALLISON BRADFORD: Catherine. I haven't been completely honest with you. I told you my mother was dead, but that's not true.
CATH: I'm not sure I follow.
ALLISON BRADFORD: Hayden told me she was in a car wreck ... and I called the funeral home to send flowers and they had never heard of her, so I called the local hospitals. Same thing. .... Recently, I contacted peopledetectors.com and, apparently, she lives in Las Vegas. She just couldn't live with me.
CATH: So you were the one that contacted peopledetectors.
ALLISON BRADFORD: Yeah. When my brother was out, I used his computer.
I believe this is one of the very few times that a CSI has become friends with a victim or suspect after the case was done - and not in a romantic way!! (Nicky/Kristy, Cath/Chris, etc) If only there was a way to have Allison back again (not as a killer, or a corpse either)- but then that would mean some form of continuity for TMTB. We can't have that, can we?
