"Tina, do you Know what time you heard those noises?" "No, but they sounded like footsteps coming from the Kitchen." "And that's when you hid in the closet?" "Yes." "Does your family normally" "Keep the doors locked at night?" "I don't Know." "My dad checks the house at night." "It's always been a safe neighborhood." "Tina..."

"Grissom, you remember those tire treads" "I found on the front lawn?" "Well, I ran them through the fbi register and they belong to a '93 Honda scooter." "That's good." "I DMV'd it." "A Kid four blocks away from the scene owns the same make." "That's very good." "I might've just blown open the case and all you give me is a "that's very good"?" "If your whole family was murdered wouldn't you run to them to see if they were still alive?" "Yeah." "This is a Lady Macbeth." "Lady Macbeth?" ""Out, out, damn spot.""

"I didn't Know this was a competition." "Well, it is, and my crew usually wins." "Really?" "Didn't graveyard beat day shift in softball last summer?" "You Know, you can joke all you want." "It's your ass on the line." "I thinK it was 14-3." "like I said, it's all about results and if you don't get them" "I will." "The tire treads from the scooter place you at the scene of the murders." "look, I was in Hoover visiting my father." "I don't Know about Tina's parents getting Killed." "Tina's parents?" "So you Know Tina Collins?" "Yeah, I Know her." "A lot of guys Know her." "She's a freak." "You mean sexually?" "Yeah." "Where's your scooter now?" "I told him I don't Know." "It disappeared?" "look, it costs money, right?"

"We got about four just on the tire prints alone." "Homicide's grabbing them up." "Let's talk about what else we have." "Tina Collins' pajama top from the murder scene without a drop of blood on it." "Hello." "How does she explain that?" "We're about to go ask her." "nick, what did you find out about that stuff you collected at the back of the house?" "The bidi?" "DNA's still processing, but Tina said nobody in the family smoked." "So a non-family member was out there." "Bidi?" "Bidi?" "I thought you found a cigarette and a match behind the house." "Well, it's just like a cigarette." "Kids smoke them." "They think there's less carbon monoxide." "What did you find out about the psych exam on the little girl?" "The shrink says the Kid is in a catatonic state from a trauma." "I could've told you that." "But she did respond to the name "Buffalo."" "Respond how?" "She freaked out." "And... what are you doing about it now?" "Going back to the girl." "I left her in the car." "The windows are cracked." "Give me a little credit." "She's at the hospital." "I don't Know why I didn't get blood on my pajamas." "I just didn't." "But your statement says that you bent down and hugged your mother who was bleeding profusely." "Then you ran out, tripping over your father's body in the upstairs hallway." "But there was no blood on you." "I saw my family dead." "I was scared." "I ran to the neighbors." "That is the truth." "The evidence is telling a different story." "I did the nasty with her, yeah, but I didn't Kill her family." "Besides my dad grounded me last week." "I share the scooter with Oliver but I was camping last night." "ask my mom." "She made me go." "Church group." "We had sex." "So what?" "I want a lawyer." "You want a lawyer?"

"Yeah, and I'm not your dude." "This ain't a movie and Sharon Stone's fine, so..." "Matches?" "The Kid's name is Jesse Overton." "He time-shares the scooter." "He admits to having sex with your girl and he's asking for a lawyer." "I want to get a warrant and search his house." "I'll Keep you posted." "I want to see my sister." "It's not going to happen, Tina." "It's a little too late to start coaching her now." "You don't understand." "I need to speak with her." "She won't speak." "The doctor says it's from trauma." "What happened, Tina?" "Did you catch your boyfriend Killing your family?" "StoKes:" "Ha-ha-ha." "Houston, we have lift-off." "Let me take a look." "You see how each half of the match lines up?" "I see." "Ah... who broke the case?" "Well, if you believe what you hear in the halls-- EcKlie." "EcKlie?" "Day shift." "Day shift." "Sophisticated criminal, huh?" "Hmm?" "This is the getaway vehicle." "Tossing it in his own trash?" "What else is new?" "Whoa." "Is this a pair of jeans under all that blood?" ""Yet who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him?"" "What was that?" "That's shakespeare." "The lawyer's pleading him guilty." "Had to, once I put the murder weapon in his mug." "Man:" "Remember-- yes or no." "Got it." "Did Tina Collins approach you at school and ask you to Kill her family?" "Yes." "Would you lie about that to escape the death penalty?" "No." "Did you Kill her family?" "Yes." "Did Tina let you in the front door the night of the Killings?" "2:00." "I waited till it was straight up." "Man:" "Yes or no?" "Sorry." "Yes."

"Was Tina mad at her parents for not letting you see each other?" "Yes." "Did Tina Collins tell you she wanted them dead so you could see each other?" "Yes." "Well, the sick bastard is on the up and up." "Except your last question." "Why?" "That they Killed the family so they could be together?" "Operator says his respiratory reactions were inconsistent." "He's lying." "StoKes:" "We got them both." "I don't much care why they did it." "I'm with you there." "I care." "I don't like holes." "What are they hiding?" "Did you collect the property from the Collins family?" "Right after the autopsies;" "sealed them myself." "Why?" "I told one of your assistants to make sure that I got them." "Well, I gave them to EcKlie." "He said he'd deliver them to you." "He was down here on another case." "EcKlie!" "I want everything right now." "I've been going over it." "The Collins case is my shift." "You are completely off base." "What, you're afraid" "I'll find something that might show you up?" "Oh, I'm sure if you could you would have by now." "Where is it?" "I don't care that you got some pimply-faced Kid to confess." "You Kept the Sheriff out of the loop." "That's a career-Killer, Gil." "That's what so sad, Conrad." "You think of this as a career." "The buffalo." "Yeah?" "Sara." "When they examined the little Collins girl did they check for sexual abuse?" "Sara:" "There were no overt signs." "Why?" "Grissom:" "Have some ultraviolet photographs taken." "This... is a very special camera." "It can see deep into your skin." "It can see things nobody can see."

"Ted Goggle." "I'm with Family Services." "Were you working the Collins case?" "You Know, your department can't seem to get things straight." "If you're looking for the little girl she's already got a case worker." "I'm inquiring about your little girl." "My Lindsay?" "Why?" "What are you talking about?" "Your husband, Eddie filed a report says you neglected to pick her up after dance class last night that you routinely neglect her for your job." "Is this Eddie's idea of a joke?" "What, are you in one of his bands?" "I already made a field visit to your house." "Here's the form." "Lindsay seems okay but there is going to be an investigation as to whether there was parental neglect." "You're on notice." "( phone rings )" "Grissom." "It's me." "Something's off on the map." "Off?" "How?" "Uh, I'm looking at dad's blood in the hall." "I found an interesting drop." "The droplet tells me that he wasn't running to the little girl's room." "He was coming out of it?" "Yeah." "I filled one of your holes, Grissom." "He Killed the father, then Killed the mother." "The dad's blood we found in the hallway must've dripped off the Killer's Knife." "Damn it." "look at all those bruises." "Grissom:" "Somebody was all over this Kid." "We have forensic evidence that your father sexually abused your sister." "We also Know... that he was in her room the night of the murders." "How can you tell?" "Blood drops." "They fall a certain way depending on the motion of the victim." "Something horrible happened in that house, didn't it, Tina?" "Long before the night of the murders." "That was the last night he was going to touch her." "But why your mother and why your brothers?" "Because they should've protected me." "You?" "My father..." "I was young." "I learned to deal but when he went for my daughter..." "Brenda is...?" "And who is..." "The father?" "I was 1 3... and nobody noticed that my clothes were getting bigger." "Nice, huh?" "Brenda may hate me for what I did... but I protected her." "I did that much." "Night, guys." "See you, Cath."
