Scene from 'Big Shots'--my new favorite Sandley episode, because he went to HER for help when he wanted to know more about the Demetrius James' brother's case and he was kicked off.
[INT. CSI – HALLWAY – DAY]
(Sara and Greg walk through the hallway.)
SARA: You observed the interview? If the undersheriff had seen you, he
would've gone ballistic.
GREG: Well, I'm still off the case. Besides, I just happened to be listening,
and I heard Aaron say that he didn't kick the girl out of the limo.
(Sara looks at Greg.)
SARA: You want me to check the body?
GREG: Well, bruises get more distinguished as a body decomposes, so just see if
there's anything we missed.
(As they talk, they don’t notice the commotion going on at reception.)
MARLA JAMES: (b.g.) That's the one I want to talk to.
SARA: (to Greg) I'm on it.
MARLA JAMES: (b.g.) That's the one I’m looking for.
(Marla James steps into the hallway.)
JUDY TREMONT (RECEPTIONIST): Miss, excuse me. You're not allowed back there!
(She heads over toward Greg.)
MARLA JAMES: Taking one of my boys wasn't good enough for you, was it? Now
you've got to take both? What did we ever do to you?
GREG: Mrs. James, I don't have anything against you or your family.
MARLA JAMES: Then what is it? Is it about the money? Then take it! I just
want my boy back!
(An officer runs into the hallway.)
SARA: Mrs. James, you need to calm down ...
MARLA JAMES: I'm not talking to you!
SARA: Well, you're going to get yourself into trouble here.
OFFICER: Ma'am ... you're going to have to leave.
MARLA JAMES: (scoffs) Protecting the nice white boy from the mean black lady.
(The officer leads her back out to reception.) You've got to help me. You owe
me. You owe me!
(The officer escorts Marla James back to reception.)
(Greg turns the hallway and follows her.)
GREG: What do I owe you?
MARLA JAMES: Yeah, like you don't know.
GREG: I'll tell you what I know: I know that Demitrius was a killer. And
Aaron -- Aaron made the decision to hang out with Drops. He made the decision
to do drugs, and to bring that girl into the limo. That's not on me. It's on
him, and you.
(She turns and looks at Greg.)
MARLA JAMES: Aaron is all I have left.
(Marla turns and leaves.)
