CSI: Dead Ringer

« prev episode next » episode

Grissom, Catherine and Nick investigate the death of a runner during a competition. Meanwhile Sara and Warrick investigate the death of couple in a hotel room, initially thought to be a murder-suicide. Both cases take place during this 'cop' competition , with more than 20.000 attendants (all of them cops). This gives the investigations an interesting turn, as almost all the suspects and all dead people are cops. Add a recap »

That race actually exists but it's called the "Challenge Cup Relay," otherwise affectionately known as Baker-to-Vegas. ( www.bakervegas.com ) edit »

Warrick: This is, like, a two- $300 la Perla Nightie, ripped to shreds.
Sara: Oh, looks comfortable.
Warrick: It's not designed to stay on that long. edit »
Warrick: Break the bad news to the wife?
Sara: Oh, I didn't have to.
Warrick: Women always know, huh?
Sara: Not always.
Warrick: I think so. Women always know when the man is straying.
Sara: What are you, the voice of experience?
Warrick (laughs): No. I'm a really nice guy.
Sara: Oh, I believe you. edit »
Mrs. Senteno: I married a cop. With that comes alcohol and women to take the edge off. First time ... he said it meant nothing. He promised never to do it again. By the third time ... I told him to stop confessing. I wasn't going anywhere.
Sara: Don't ask, don't tell.
Mrs. Senteno: I wasn't willing to trade my family for the flavor of the month.
That doesn't make me pathetic. edit »
Will Warshall: If I'm going to kill a guy, I'm not going to do it with twenty thousand cops around.
Catherine: Well ... sounds like you've been giving it some serious thought.
Will Warshall: Well, every cop does. My way? A sniper shot ... two hundred meters out. Coleman'd never even hear the "am" in "blam." edit »
Doc Robbins: Well, the race isn't the only reason these guys come to town. It's a good party.
Grissom: Too much running, too much partying?
Doc Robbins: L.A. S-E-S. They go all out.
Grissom: Work hard, play hard, die young, leave a good-looking corpse. edit »
