Nesting Dolls

____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________	_________________________________ The bodies of two women are found covered in tar in a pit. The body in the bottom part of pit cannot be identified. The one on top was a mail-ordered-bride who died approximately 2 years ago. The prime suspect is her husband who claims that she disappeared and has already 'purchased' a new Asian wife. Grissom meanwhile visits Sara at home and she finally reveals the source of all her anger, opening up to Grissom and telling her about her abusive father and how her mother eventually stabbed him to death. Grissom decides not to fire Sara which displeases Ecklie greatly. _________________________________
____________________________ Sara helps them out until a run-in with Catherine and with Ecklie gets her suspended without pay for a week. Grissom discovers why Sara is so angry. ____________________________ Quote Sara: Look, all I am asking is to have a black-and-white do regular welfare checks. Catherine: Did the wife ask for help? Sara: Well, that's kind of hard to do when you don't speak English and you're a sex slave. I'm sure she doesn't know her rights. Catherine: (sighs) You can't arrest someone for marrying the wrong person. Sara: You would know. (Catherine lets that one slide) Catherine: "If the guy's an abuser, if he killed his first wife, we will build a case and we will nail him." Sara: "And in the meantime, he can just keep using her as a punching bag." Catherine: "Sara, I was there -- there wasn't a mark on her." Sara: "Not that we could see, Catherine." (They stop walking. In the back of the hallway, Conrad Ecklie steps out of the lab and sees Catherine and Sara) Catherine: "You know ... every time we get a case with a hint of domestic violence or abuse, you go off the deep end. What is your problem?" Sara: "Yeah, I probably do, and you let your sexuality cloud your judgment about men, and I'm gonna go over your head." Ecklie: "Sidle." (Sara turns and looks at Ecklie) Ecklie: "Get in my office. Now." _____________________________	=_______________________________ _______________________________ ____________________________________ _____________________________________
_______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________	______________________________________________ _____________________________________________ Sidle: It's funny ... the things that you remember and the things that you don't, you know. There was a smell of iron in the air. Cast-off on the bedroom wall. There was this young cop puking his guts. I remember the woman who took me to foster care. I can't remember her name. Which is strange, you know, 'cause I couldn't let go of her hand. Grissom: Well ... the mind has its filters. Sidle: I do remember the looks. I became the girl whose father was stabbed to death. Do you think there's a murder gene? Grissom: I don't believe that genes are a predictor of violent behavior. _____________________________________

___________________________________ Quote (Grissom heads for Ecklie's office. Inside the office, Catherine and Ecklie are going over some files) Catherine: (to Ecklie) "Okay, here's what I wanted to show you. The facts just don't match up." (Grissom walks up to the table where the two are seated) Grissom: "You wanted to talk to me about Sara?" Ecklie: "I haven't received her disciplinary action. What's the holdup?" Grissom: 2Well, I'm not firing her." Catherine: What action are you taking?" Grissom: "I've taken it." Ecklie: "I thought I was clear." Grissom: "You were. Now let me be clear. Sara's behavior is a direct result of my management. Ecklie: So I should fire you. Grissom: But you won't. Ecklie: "Look, Gil ... I've been there. We're human. We get attached to people, we try to fix their problems. It doesn't work." Grissom: "She's a great criminalist, Conrad. And I need her." Ecklie: "I'm sure you do. You know what?" (He stands up) "She's a loose cannon with a gun. And she's all yours." (Grissom watches Ecklie. He shifts his gaze from Ecklie to Catherine, who looks at Grissom) ___________________________________
