The opening scene -
SARA: I think Malibu Barbie did it.
GRISSOM: Well then there's a lot more to Barbie than just a pretty face, cause this is a
perfect half-inch scale model of the room. And assuming that the killer is the same person that made the miniature...
SARA: It would have taken weeks, maybe even months to create with this kind of detail. Certainly qualifies as premeditiation.
GRISSOM: Yeah but take a look at the blood pools.
SARA: They're identical.
GRISSOM: There's no prediciting a bloodpool. It's inherently random.
SARA: Killer must've stuck around and matched the scene.
(Grissom tests the blood in the diorama)
GRISSOM: It's real blood.
(We see the killer dripping the blood into the scene)
SARA: That is a level of obsession that gives even you a run for your money.
(Grissom gives her a look)
SARA: "If Dusty Fell - Izzy Delancy"
GRISSOM: It was his biggest hit.
SARA: I have never heard of him.
GRISSOM: Probably before your time.
SARA: I'll download it.
(Beat) I checked the perimeter, property is gated with a code, there is no sign of forced entry on the windows or the doors, of course - if a girl could get into Brad Pitt's underwear drawer and take a nap on his bed, I guess anything is possible.
(Beat) Lividity suggests he hasn't been moved, he was probably sitting right here when he was killed.
(Beat) Looks like blunt force trauma, no spatter or cast off, which suggests a single blow.
GRISSOM: Sometimes it only takes one hit.

The Ecklie scene -
(Grissom cuts the shirt off the Izzy doll. There's a photo layout of the crime scene on the table in front of him. He autopsies the doll with a scalpel)
SARA: Find something?
GRISSOM: No.
(Beat) No prints, no hairs, no fibres, materials are common hobby-shop issue, but the
blood matches the victim's.
SARA: You interested in motive? Sofia, just spent the last two hours with the sheriff, the head of the Olympia Casino and a couple'a dozen lawyers. Apparently Izzy Delancy owned the rights to his own songs, the Olympia was negotiating to purchase them for a medley show based on his music. Izzy never got a chance to sign the contracts. Dead rockstar, nut-job family, and a company hungry for the next Mamma Mia...
GRISSOM: Who inherits the music rights?
SARA: The son, Sven. But he's a minor, so the rights would be controlled by his mother, Dusty.
GRISSOM: It's illegal to benefit from a criminal act. If either one of them committed the murder...
SARA: Then the rights would go to Izzy's current wife, Madeline.
GRISSOM: Well, that's motive for her, but how does this fit in?
(Grissom points to the diorama. Ecklie walks in)
ECKLIE: Maybe we should release it to the media. Someone might have unwittingly made a component of the miniature, if they came forward, that could help us.
GRISSOM: What's the point of gratifying the murderer with publicity?
ECKLIE: Izzy Delancy is famous - the press wants answers.
GRISSOM: Don't we all?
ECKLIE: Sara, this is your case, too, what do you think?
SARA: I, uh...agree with Grissom.
(Ecklie nods snarkily and looks between them, beaten)
ECKLIE: Of course you do.
(Ecklie leaves. Sara follows his exit with a quizzical expression. Grissom looks up at Sara with a look of shared confusion re: Ecklie's final comment. Sara looks over at him, then back up again toward where Ecklie left again, mouthing "No.." and shaking her head)
-----
Their final scene together (this ep) -
(Grissom sits in his office at his desk, looking over the diorama with a flashlight. Sara walks up, stopping in her doorway, rapping on the frame)
SARA: I hear we're outta suspects
GRISSOM: Not necessarily. Could be anybody in town. Or anybody outta town for that matter. That's a lot of suspects.
SARA: What do you want us to do?
(He thinks for a moment)
GRISSOM: I dunno
(Grissom puts on his glasses with the mounted magnifiers)
GRISSOM: I'll deal with it.
(Sara looks on wearily [for his sake] as Grissom flicks down the magnifiers to take a better look at the diorama)
-----
So there you go. Of course they're better if you actually SEE them, though. So if anyone in the states missed the episode, CBS has it up on
Innertube now. Those of you outside of the US won't be able to watch it there, unfortunately, but I'm sure there are...*cough*...
other ways for you to see the scenes.
ANYWAY...
O/T: Was watching
Friends tonight. The Tom wasn't in it, but it was the one where Joey considered buying his apartment (actually, technically it was "The One With Ross's Inappropriate Song") so he was mentioned a lot. Chandler made a lot of nasty comments:
"
I just hope the (golf) club doesn't slip out of my hand and beat the moustache off his face."
"
So how come Richard's selling the place? Went bankrupt? Medical malpractice? Choked on his own moustache?"
"
Just'd be another saucy anecdote for him to share at his men's club over brandy and moustaches."
*pets the 'stache*
