"So, we've been trying to contact Mr. Dell for a couple of weeks." "Have you heard from him?" "No, but that's probably 'cause the rent's due."

"Could be a couple of days to a few weeks." "Miniature killer?" "it's hard to say." "Haven't found a miniature of the scene yet." "Just this." "Clothes match." "The, uh, vic's a P. T. Nurse, but there's no blood on the doll, and it's not posed like the body." "Bleach at the scene, just like the others." "Maybe this one wasn't planned." "Maybe the killer has to make the miniature after the fact, which is why it's so cold in here, to preserve the body." "I don't think we can rule anything out." "It's all yours, my dear." "comparing construction materials of the new doll to see if it's the same work as the others?" " yeah." " Is there any doubt?" "I live by the uncertainty principle." "The mere act of observing a phenomenon changes its nature." "So in trying to catch the killer, we've changed his behavior." "I'm certain we have." "what?" "A fingerprint." "Well, there was no physical trace on any of the other dolls or the miniatures." "Maybe he's finally gotten careless." "Uh, natalie?" "Davis?" "Natalie davis?" "You're next," "Izzy delancy."

"Delusional psychosis in women... rarer still." "Well, "female" cuts the list down a little bit." "We could also narrow it down even further by cross-referencing the dates that trevor lived with ernie." "I mean, that's got to be enough to get the foster records released,right?"

"I have to go see the shadowcaster of the forgotten realms." "Unless the female killer was an amazon," "I kind of doubt a guy like this was just...beat around his own bathroom."

"All the outlets in the bathroom are dead." "Must be on a separate circuit than the lights." "I just reset the breaker." "That do the trick?" "we're hot." "What you got?" "Possible burn mark on the tile." "If this is where trevor's foot grounded out, he must've been at the sink when he got zapped." "The outlet doesn't look scorched." "Looks like some burned skin." "The sink is still damp." "Hey, hit that crack." "I think we may have found the mini killer's booby trap." "hot wire's touching one of the metal brackets that's holding up the sink."

"Congratulations." "Do you take a photo of every child?" "Every single one, their first night here." "I just feel like it gives them a sense of belonging right away." "Most of them come to us so damaged they don't know what it's like to belong to anything." "Here we are." "Oh, natalie." "Yeah, shy as anything until I tried to do her laundry and then she screamed her little head off." "Do you use bleach, mrs." "Wetzel?" "Have you ever even seen a load of kids' laundry?" "Of course I use bleach." "Excuse me a second." "According to child services, she only stayed with you a week." "Do you remember why?" "Yeah, a couple of nights into her stay, she climbed up to the top bunk and pushed another little girl out." "Of course we talked to her about it, but she did it again the very next night, almost broke her collarbone." "So you just sent her back?" "After a few dozen kids, you get real good at knowing the difference between damaged and broken." "And natalie was broken." ""Great rainone and his little bisque doll."" "Oh, that looks like the doll images from the miniatures." "What's a bisque?" "Fired unglazed pottery." "Her biological father was christopher davis, a ventriloquist." "A grown man who sticks his hand up the back of a doll and speaks like a girl." "Sounds healthy." "I googled him." "Who's chloe?" "Natalie's younger sister." "1981, she fell out of a tree house and died." "But her father's still alive." "And still performing." "So how do you feel today, chloe?" "I'm not doing so good, daddy." "Well there, what's the matter, doll face?" "Well, I feel like a hobo." "A hobo?" "Now you know what that stands for don't ya?" "That stands for "homeward bound."" "But, I ain't got no home, daddy." "Well now, that's silly." "Chloe, everybody's got a home." "Where do you live?" "I live in a box." "In a box?" "A box that's giving me a pain in my sawdust." "a pain in your sawdust?" "I got a pain in my sawdust that's what's the matter with me" "something is wrong with my little inside" "I'm just as sick as can be don't let me faint, someone get me a fan someone else run for the medicine man everyone hurry as fast as you can" "I got a pain in my...sawdust." "okay, we're in a david lynch movie." "Where's the dwarf?" "As sure as the stars shine above you are nobody till somebody loves you so find yourself somebody get yourself somebody you are nobody, nobody... yeah, that was my other daughter." "So, being a performer and a parent had to have been hard at times." "Well, my folks were in vaudeville." "It wasn't hard until my wife passed away." "Natalie was six and chloe was four." "It was, um, pepper and salt." "Darkness and light." "Within the year, my whole family was just... poof." "Gone." "What happened?" "Can I tell the story, daddy?" "Sure, sweetheart." "It was a sunny day in june." "And my sister who couldn't hold a tune was playing with me in our house in the tree..." "Hi, daddy." "Hey, chloe." "I love you baby." "I fell to the ground with an awful sound." "A puddle of blood as big as the sea was all that was left of dear old me." "Had the girls been fighting?" "Chloe would never fight." "How did natalie deal with it?" "I don't know." "It was hard on both of us." "I tried for a while,but I just couldn't handle it." "I had to give her up." "The great rainone is in denial." "Of course,losing a child at the hands of another could do that to you." "You do agree that natalie killed chloe,right?" "Yeah,I was just wondering what it must've looked like to her." "Sara?" "Control,this is Jin Brass" "Yeah,we found sara sidle's car, but she's missing." "There's no sign of her." "Looks like an abduction." "Come on,sara,pick up." "Please pick up." " Who was in my office while I was gone?" " No one." "Just some girl from janitorial." "She went in,vacuumed,emptied out the trash." "That's all." "The doll's still alive." "That means sara's still alive." "Generic stretch of desert." "She could be anywhere in a four-state radius." "Let's just focus on the details." "There's always something to go on." "She has to make these in advance,right?" "But how do you plan a car wreck?" "There's no way to know how the car's going to land." "Unless you wreck the car first,and then put her under it." " I think I got a vin number." " Give me the first six." "King-sam-victor-four-five-three." "Her name is natalie davis, and she works for our janitorial service." " What?" " Here in the lab?" "For over a month." "She's never been arrested, so there's nothing to flag on a security check." "She used ernie dell's address on her work form." "She has no home phone and no driver's license." "okay,I got it." "A 2007 red mustang totaled outside the trip wire bar six weeks ago." "Driver fatality." "Dwi." "Cawent to scrap." "Lead csi on the case-sara sidle." "Pull up the case photos." "my god." "She was at the crime scene." "So,she salvages the car, and somehow gets it out to the desert, and then grabs sara,and puts her under it?" "I don't get it." "What does sara have to do with bleach?" "I don't know." "This just feels different." "It is different." "This girl holds me responsible for the death of ernie dell." "I took away the only person she ever loved, so she's going to do the same thing to me." "It's not about a psychotic reaction to bleach, or some dead sister or the doll." "Notur little bisque doll..." "Notur little bisque doll..." "This is gil grissom at csi." "I need to get an attorney general's waiver." "She went out the window!" "She's headed for the alley." "I don't want to waste time screwing around with this nutcase." "I'm going to get some bleach and drip it on her until she gives up the location." "And they can't accuse us of police brutality for that." "I want to talk to her,jim." "Alone." "Hi,natalie." "My name's gil." "It's so nice to finally meet you." "I,uh... probably shouldn't say this, but..." "I'm a huge fan." "I've been a crime scene investigator for 22 years." "I've worked over 2,000 homicides, and you are by far... the best I've ever seen." "I mean... you're such a great artist." "And to be so young and so talented and... so pretty." "I've thought about you every night for the last nine months." "I even tried to do what you do." "I built my own miniature." "You saw it?" "How'd I do?" "Do you play chess?" "I play as a hobby." "It quiets my mind,you know?" "Soothes me." "At one point,I became so consumed by it that whenever I closed my eyes," "I could see the chess pieces moving all around the board." "I was obsessed with correcting all my bad moves." "I wondered if a game could ever be played without a mistake." "I'd love to play you sometime." "I'm so impressed by the way you embrace your passion." "You'd make a great csi." "This last one was brilliant." "You studied our crime scene so well." "Tracking the car to the junkyard and then towing it all the way out to the desert where you knew we wouldn't find it." "And then... the way you killed sara." "I didn't kill her." "You didn't?" "This is about her." "Her,her,her!" "It's always about her." " No,it isn't,natalie." "It's about you." " It's always about her." "sad was the day for the little bisque doll, for they cut all her stitches away, and found the seat of the terrible ache t'was a delicate task... natalie,listen to me-tell me where she is." " For none of the doctors had ever before - natalie..." " performed on a dolly's inside." " Please tell me where sara is." "They tried to restuff her "but didn't know how," " and this was her wail as she died..." " stop it!" "Just stop this!" "Tell me where sara is!" "I've got a pain in my sawdust." "That's what's the matter with me." "Something is wrong with my little inside." "I'm just as sick as can be." "Don't let me faint." "Someone get me a fan." "Someone please run for the medicine man."
