I’m of no help whatsoever, but I had to laugh at my son who is in law enforcement. He said when they arrive at a crime scene, inevitably an on-looker will say, indignantly, “Mai, hey, ya’ll gonna do what dem people do on CSI?!!” Or, “Mai, dat’s not what dey do on CSI!!”
Me. I love the show.
SCENE #31: [INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT - INTERVIEW ROOM - NIGHT] (GRISSOM and SGT. O'RILEY interview SUSAN HILLRDIGE.) SUSAN HILLRIDGE: Mr. Grissom. You're looking grim. I'm afraid I don't have a supplement for that. GRISSOM: We found blood in your kitchen blender. The lab has matched it to the dead jogger. SUSAN HILLRIDGE: It had to happen eventually. GRISSOM: Why? SUSAN HILLRIDGE: You're the scientist. I should have thought you'd figured that out. GRISSOM: I haven't. SUSAN HILLRIDGE: Think of the bugs, Grissom. Cycle of life. Angels versus insects. When we die the fable we tell ourselves is we go toward a white light and angels. But you and I both know the hard reality is that insects arrive immediately and begin turning us back to earth. GRISSOM: Yes. But the insects haven't killed anyone. SUSAN HILLRIDGE: No. But they'd die if they didn't have bodies to feed off of. And so will I. (GRISSOM looks at SUSAN HILLRIDGE.) SUSAN HILLRIDGE: Porphyria. GRISSOM: The madness of King George. SUSAN HILLRIDGE: Or the Legend of the Vampire. Which makes it a real hard disease to have. But it's real for me. GRISSOM: It's genetic. SUSAN HILLRIDGE: The only thing my father ever gave me. The first time it presented was after a minor sunburn. My lips receded -- so did my gums. I increased my glucose intake and I was fine ... for a while. I began a drug regimen but they only treated the symptoms. I had my spleen removed because it absorbed my blood. But nothing helped. Lesions started forming on my face. That's when I bought my first dog. Bullets and poison leave residue in the blood. Dogs kill clean. Imagine what I'd look like by now without them. (Quick CGI POV of: Camera close up of SUSAN HILLRIDGE as she is now. Then slowly her face morphs and her skin wrinkles, legions form. End of CGI POV. Resume to present.) GRISSOM: You could've tried intravenous hematin. SUSAN HILLRIDGE: Human blood is the richest source of heme. GRISSOM: And so you extracted the organs with the most blood-- the liver, the spleen, the heart. SUSAN HILLRIDGE: If you lock me up, I'll go mad. GRISSOM: Unfortunately, a symptom of your condition. But you've been killing people, doctor. SUSAN HILLRIDGE: I'll die in prison. GRISSOM: Yes, but the people you'd be feeding off of will still be alive. Cycle of life. (She smiles at him as he throws her own words back at her.) GRISSOM: (to O'RILEY) Sergeant. (SGT. O'RILEY stands up and walks over to her. He puts the hand cuffs on her.) OFFICER: You're under arrest for the murder of Terry Manning. (GRISSOM sits stoically in his chair. SUSAN HILRIDGE stops as she passes GRISSOM.) SUSAN HILLRIDGE: You have one more question. How could I consume raw organs? Not morally -- aesthetically. I dried them and ground them into powder. GRISSOM: Protein powder. (She turns and leans in close to GRISSOM. There are tears streaming down her face, knowing that she's going to die and exactly how it's going to happen. Nothing matters now. She gives it all up to him.) SUSAN HILLRIDGE: You want an empirical experience? There's a fresh shake in my fridge. (O'RILEY leads SUSAN HILLRIDGE to the door where he hands her over to an OFFICER standing just outside in the hallway.) SGT. O'RILEY: Let's go. Officer. (He closes the door and turns back to GRISSOM.) SGT. O'RILEY: She is nuts, right? (GRISSOM turns and looks up at SGT. O'RILEY.) GRISSOM: She's a cold blooded killer. CUT TO: SCENE #32:
