Hawaii Calls

At a crime scene in a downtown Miami parking structure; Two shooting victims- one in critical condition headed to Dade General, the other DOA and on the way to the morgue; Eric and Calleigh processing the scene:

Eric: Hey, Calleigh. (walking over to her; she is pulling rounds out of a column about 10 feet from where the DB was) What’d you find?
Calleigh: (pulling out the fourth bullet) Well, I have two rounds from a 9-mil, and two from a .45. That’s not counting the three extra 9-mil casings.
Eric: We’ve got two shooters?
Calleigh: That’s what it looks like. I won’t know which one killed our John Doe until I get the bullets from Alexx.
Eric: Okay. I’ve got a couple of footprints where our other vic was found. It looks like there was a scuffle before the bullets started flying. (quietly as he leans closer) So, can we do dinner at your place tonight?
Calleigh: (smiling as she bags and tags the rounds) I think so. (looks up at him) Anything in particular?
Eric: (grinning) No…(grins mischievously) As long as you’re there.
Calleigh: (blushes slightly and looks away, then looks at him again with an impish grin) You got it.
Eric: (grins, then picks up her kit as she strips off her gloves) Let’s get back to the lab.

Outside of the lab; Eric and Calleigh returning from the crime scene:

Eric: Calleigh, watch out. (grabs her from behind at the hips as the girl coming out stops just inside the door)
Calleigh: (smiles at him over her shoulder) Thanks, Eric. (looking at who she almost walked into for the first time) Kenzie? Is that you? (puts down her kit to hug Mackenzie)
Mackenzie: (smiling as she hugs Calleigh) Hey! They said you were out at a crime scene!
Calleigh: When did you get here? What are you doing here? And why are you here? (rapid-fire questioning)
Mackenzie: (laughs) Um, I got here this morning , I transferred to Dade University and do you mean here, Miami here, or here, crime lab here? And aren’t you gonna introduce me? (gesturing to a confused Eric)
Calleigh: (turns to Eric) Oh gosh, Eric. I’m sorry.
Eric: (smiles) That’s okay. So, are you gonna introduce us?
Calleigh: Oh. Right. (pause) Kenzie, this is Eric Delko. Eric, this is my cousin Mackenzie Davis.
Mackenzie/Eric: Hi. Nice to meet you. (shake hands)
Calleigh: (to Mackenzie) So, why are you here at the lab?
Mackenzie: I got the lab internship through Dade University and I came in to get my ID and security clearance.
Calleigh: Congratulations!
Eric: Great job! (to Calleigh) Cal, I’m gonna start processing some of this evidence. (picks up Calleigh’s kit)
Mackenzie: Oh, don’t let me hold you up. You guys have work to do. I’ll talk to you later.
Eric: (stopping her) No, it’s fine. Really. (starts to walk inside; Calleigh follows, but he stops) Go. I’ll take care of it.
Calleigh: We’re still on for dinner tonight, right? (quietly)
Eric: Definitely. (turns back to Mackenzie as the idea hits him) Mackenzie, why don’t you join us for dinner?
Mackenzie: Oh, I couldn’t. I don’t wanna intrude on your plans.
Eric: (looks at Calleigh, who nods) You’re not. We insist.
Mackenzie: But…
Calleigh: Don’t argue, Kenzie. You know you won’t win.
Mackenzie: (reluctantly) Okay. Dinner would be nice.
Eric: Good. I’ll see you later. (to Calleigh) I’ll meet you inside. (goes inside)
Calleigh: So, meet me here at 5:30? My shift ends at 5.
Mackenzie: (hesitantly) Are you sure? (Calleigh gives her a look) Okay, okay. You want me to pick up anything?
Calleigh: No, thanks. I’ve got everything at home. Where are you headed?
Mackenzie: Back to the temp dorms. I don’t start classes until tomorrow.
Calleigh: (stares at Mackenzie) Why are you in the temp dorms?
Mackenzie: (looking a little guilty) My transfer was a little sudden and the dorms are full.
Calleigh: Why didn’t you say something? You can stay with me. (sees Mackenzie start to argue) At least for tonight. I have an extra bedroom that’s always open. You know that.
Mackenzie: But…
Calleigh: Don’t argue. (gives Mackenzie a stern look)
Mackenzie: Okay. I’ll stay tonight. (looks at the building) You better go. (smiling slyly) I think Eric’s waiting for you.
Calleigh: (shocked) What’s that supposed to mean?
Mackenzie: (innocently) Oh, nothing. (laughs at Calleigh’s expression)
Calleigh: (composing herself) Haha. (takes Mackenzie’s hand) I’m glad you’re here. See ya later. (goes into the lab)

In the morgue, Alexx is finishing with the autopsy of John Doe; Calleigh walks in:

Calleigh: Hey, Alexx. You got anything for me?
Alexx: (giving Calleigh a container with two bullets in it) I think you want these.
Calleigh: (looking at the rounds) These look like 9-mils.
Alexx: You were expecting something else? (confused)
Calleigh: No. We found two 9-mil rounds and two .45s at the scene, with 3 other 9-mil casings.
Alexx: Well, baby, those are the only bullets I found in this guy. Maybe your other vic…?
Calleigh: (contemplative) Yeah…thanks, Alexx.
Alexx: No problem, honey.

End of shift, in the parking lot:
Mackenzie: (sees Eric heading to a Hummer parked two stalls away) Where’s Eric goin’?
Calleigh: (getting into the Hummer) He wanted to pick something up; then he’ll be over. (watching Eric drive away)
Mackenzie: Oh. (gets in the Hummer; Calleigh drives for a bit, causing her laugh) I see you still drive like a mad woman on a wild stallion!
Calleigh: (smiles) Yeah.
Mackenzie: So, what’s the deal with you and Eric? (a little too brightly; causing Calleigh to stare)
Calleigh: (trying to play it cool) What are you talkin’ about?
Mackenzie: (laughs) C’mon, Cals. I see the way you look at each other. And the way he grabbed you earlier. (pause) So spill!
Calleigh: (hesitantly; then bowing to the pressure) Okay! We work together, so we shouldn’t be dating.
Mackenzie: (grinning) But you are.
Calleigh: (stops in front of her house) Yeah…in secret. There’s department policy…
Mackenzie: (disgusted) Well, that’s dumb! (considering) But I guess it’s understandable, in case things don’t work out, they don’t want any fallout. (looking at Calleigh) But I don’t think that’s gonna be an issue.
Calleigh: (walking into the house) What do you mean?
Mackenzie: (smiling) I see the body language. You’re totally into each other.
Calleigh: (quietly) I never could keep things from you, could I?
Mackenzie: (laughing) Nope. (pause; then seriously) I don’t care either way as long as he makes you happy. (studying Calleigh’s face) You are happy, right?
Calleigh: (smiling a little) Yeah, I am. (still trying to place Mackenzie’s attitude)

In the kitchen- doorbell rings as Kenzie and Calleigh continue making dinner:

Mackenzie: (smirking as she stirs a pot) You should get that.
Calleigh: I’m goin’. (opens the door for Eric, who has flowers in one hand and a bag in the other) Hey. What’s all this?
Eric: (puts the bag down; separates a bouquet of wildflowers from a bouquet of peach roses and holds the roses out to her) These are for you. (gestures to the bag) That is a bottle of white Zinfandel and a bottle of Merlot. (shows her the wildflowers) These are for Mackenzie.
Calleigh: (quietly so Mackenzie doesn’t hear) Eric, they’re beautiful! Thank you. (tiptoes to kiss him quickly; turns towards the kitchen) Kenzie’s in here.
Eric: (smelling dinner) What smells so good? (hiding the flowers behind him)
Mackenzie: (busy with the pot) That would be dinner. (turning to face them) Hey, Eric.
Eric: Hey. (pause) Um, these are for you. (pulls out the flowers; Calleigh is pulling out vases)
Mackenzie: (smiling brightly) Wow. They’re beautiful. Thank you. (taking the flowers over to Calleigh, who is putting her flowers in water; quietly to Calleigh) I really like him, Cals.
Calleigh: (smiling; quietly but sternly) You can’t have him. (Mackenzie laughs)
Eric: So, do you need any help? (looking between Calleigh and Mackenzie)
Calleigh: Actually…(Mackenzie interrupts)
Mackenzie: No, thank you. Why don’t you two sit and relax while I finish dinner. (smiles at Calleigh mischievously)
Calleigh: Let me just finish this. (puts Mackenzie’s flowers in the second vase; stalling)
Mackenzie: Fine. Then scoot. (gestures toward the living room; phone rings in her pocket; looks at the screen, but ignores it)
Calleigh: (takes Mackenzie’s actions in) Who was that?
Mackenzie: (shrugging it off, but avoiding eye contact) It’s just a text message. I’ll look at it later. (turns Calleigh toward the living room with a push) Go keep Eric company. I’ll holler when dinner’s ready.
Calleigh: Fine. I’m goin’.
Mackenzie: Good. (makes a face at Calleigh; pulls out phone again when Calleigh leaves) That can’t be.

Calleigh and Eric in the living room, talking in hushed tones:

E: So have you two caught up on things? (Calleigh sits next to him and curls her legs up)
C: More or less…(preoccupied) Something’s not right though.
E: Like what?
C: I don’t know yet. (changes the subject) She likes you. (smiles) E: Really? You think so?
C: She told me that she doesn’t care either way as long as I’m happy. But when you gave her those flowers…
E: She knows about us? (concerned) C: (sheepishly) I never could keep things from her. (pause) She got it out of me in less time than it takes for me to drive home from work.
E: What? (shocked but laughing, since Calleigh is usually hard to break) Wow.
C: Yeah. Just watch out.
E: (confused) Why?
C: She’s been known to get defensive if someone hurts me.
E: (seriously) Who’s hurt you?
C: Ex-boyfriends, mostly. Take Jake for instance.
E: What about him? (trying to play cool, but clenching his jaw) C: Well, you know we dated in the academy. Back then, things were fine. But we broke up after graduation. It wasn’t pretty. (Eric takes her hand, only to release it when Mackenzie walks in) M: It was far from pretty, Cals. (looks at Eric, who still looks a little guilty) That jerk broke her heart! (livid at the memory) C: Kenzie…(admonishingly) M: No, Cals. (cooling down a little) You should have let me rip his throat out.
E: (chuckling nervously) Remind me not to make you upset with me. (looks at Calleigh) But if that is the case, you should’ve let her at Berkeley. Calleigh, I had no idea.
C: (quietly) I think that’s a good thing. You would’ve beaten him to a pulp, I think…if you’d known.
E: You’re probably right. (to Mackenzie) We have that in common, I guess.
M: (confused) When did you meet him, Eric?
E: (looks at Calleigh before answering) A couple of years ago. Here in Miami…
M: Cals, you didn’t…you didn’t tell me he came back.
C: No, I didn’t tell you that I was seeing him again. (defensively) I knew you wouldn’t like it, and it didn’t last for long, anyway.
M: (heated) I hope you kicked him to the curb this time.
C: Yes, I did. (pause) Is dinner ready?
M: (distraced) Um, yeah.
E: Good. (trying to change the subject) I’m starving. (helps Calleigh up from the couch and follows both ladies into the kitchen; whispers to Calleigh) I’m gonna head back to my place after dinner.
C: Eric…(trying to change his mind) You don’t have to.
E: No, but it’s the right thing to do. (pause) You need some time with her.
C: (understanding his reasons) Okay. (pause; changes subject) Did you get the other rounds from our other vic?
E: He was still in surgery at end of shift. We can get them tomorrow. (Mackenzie starts serving dinner)
C: Okay. Calleigh’s Spare Room: M: (looking around as Calleigh gets out bedding) Cals, you’re sure about this?
C: (looking at Mackenzie) Will you stop arguing? Staying in the temp dorms is not an option.
M: All right. (pause) But, only until I get a dorm room. (adamant)
C: (recognizing the tone) Fine. (pause) But you can always stay here, no questions asked.
M: (smiling distractedly) Thanks, Cals. (phone buzzes in Mackenzie’s pocket; she pulls it out and reads the message, then pales and drops the phone on the bed)
C: Kenzie? (worried by Mackenzie’s reaction) Who was that?
M: It’s…it’s nothing. (trying to pull herself together) I’ll deal with it in the morning.
C: (hesitant) Okay…(unconvinced; sees the number before Mackenzie picks up the phone and puts it back in her pocket) I’ll see you in the morning, then. (leaves the room and closes the door, but stands outside for a few minutes) M: (taking the phone out again and looking at the message) Oh, no. In the kitchen in the morning- Kenzie at the table with breakfast; Calleigh walks in dressed for work and makes tea: M: (looking up from the papers in front of her) Good morning.
C: Morning. (bringing a cup to the table, but not sitting) So you’re gonna bring your stuff here until you find a place, right?
M: If that’s okay. Not that I have a lot of stuff. Mostly clothes and books. (pauses; distracted) Cals, are you sure about this?
C: (concerned about Mackenzie’s distracted attitude) I thought we cleared that up last night. (studying Mackenzie) Kenzie, is everything okay?
M: (snapping out of her funk; overly peppy) Yeah, everything’s fine. I think the jet lag is finally catching up. That’s all.
C: (resigned to believing the obvious lie) Okay…(puts a set of keys in Mackenzie’s hand) You’ll need those.
M: (confused) What are these for?
C: There’s a key to the front door, and a key to my car.
M: But…I can’t take your car. (Calleigh walks over to the refrigerator and roots around)
C: You can. I have the Hummer for work and I only use my car on my days off, which are few and far between due to staff shortages. Just use it. (starts to walk of the room) M: (tentatively) Calleigh?
C: (turns, expecting another argument) Yes?
M: Thanks, for everything. (smiles slightly)
C: (smiles) You’re welcome. (looks at her watch) I gotta go. See ya later.
M: Bye. (Calleigh leaves) In her Hummer, Calleigh calls Eric: E: (on the phone, shown split screen) Good morning. (smiling) C: (smiling) Morning. Listen, could you do me a huge favor?
E: Name it.
C: (worried) I’m headed to Dade General to pick up those rounds from our vic- he didn’t make it. (pause) I have a phone number that I’d like traced.
E: (concerned by her tone and the request in general) Calleigh, what’s this about?
C: I’m not sure, Eric. Kenzie got a text message last night from this number that really spooked her. Could you check it out?
E: Sure. (walking into the lab) What’s the number?
C: 808-276-7467.
E: I’ll get on it. (concerned) Are you okay?
C: It’s not me I’m worried about. (pause) Thanks, Eric.
E: You’re welcome. See you when you get here. Dade University- Kenzie during lunch: M: (on the phone with Calleigh, shown split screen) Hey Cals.
C: Hey. How’s your day goin’?
M: Not bad. I only have one more class, then I’m done for the day.
C: Any problems with your stuff?
M: None at all. Hey, after my last class I was gonna head back to your house. What did you want for dinner?
C: Surprise me. (walking into the lab to meet Eric)
M: Okay…(pause) Is Eric coming tonight?
C: Umm…I’m not sure. (holds the phone and whispers to Eric) Are you comin’ for dinner?
E: (pauses as if in thought, then nods) Yeah.
C: (on the phone) Kenzie, he’ll be there. (pause) We’ll see ya later.
M: Okay. See ya later. (hangs up; receives another text message)
C: (at the lab; to Eric) Did you get something?
E: (very serious) I think we may have a problem.
C: (worried by his expression) What kind of problem, Eric?
E: If the reports I found on this guy (pulling up a mug shot of the owner of the phone) are completely accurate…(looks at Calleigh) Kenzie is in more danger than if she were dealing with the Mala Noche.
C: (panicked) What do you mean?
E: Calleigh, these guys are literally into every form of trafficking you can think of. (pulling up more pictures) Kenzie helped put four of their top guys in prison, and they’re all under the age of 30.
C: (scared) How did she get caught up in this?
E: According to the reports, she had been dating one of the guys she put away. These guys (scanning through the pictures) were initially charged with aggravated assault, and things compounded from there. Kenzie was the star witness for the prosecution, and she still had the bruises when she testified.
C: (shocked) Bruises? What bruises? Eric…
E: (looks at Calleigh) Calleigh…(pause; then turns to face her) these guys assaulted Kenzie.
C: (freaking out) What?!
E: She had the sense to speak up, Calleigh. She kept her head- she went to the campus infirmary, had a friend call the cops. She made the nurse document everything with the police detective present, made a statement, filed charges. (making Calleigh look at him) She testified against these scumbags, and won. She’s strong, like you said.
C: (calming down a little) Why did they attack her, Eric?
E: I don’t know. But she had just dumped her boyfriend a week before. (pause) I think she dumped him because she found out what he was into.
C: Eric, she’s got to be terrified!
E: We need her to tell us what’s going on so we can help her.
C: What do we tell her? She’s hiding it as it is. She won’t just tell us if we ask.
E: We should tell her the truth; you’ve been getting this feeling that there’s something bothering her, and that we want to help. (Calleigh turns to leave) And Cal?
C: (turns to face him) Yeah?
E: If it goes beyond these messages, we need to tell H. We won’t be able to hide it for long if it escalates.
C: (comes back to Eric) Eric, that would mean telling Horatio about us.
E: (looks at Calleigh intently) I don’t care. I’ll transfer to nights if I have to.
C: But Eric…(protesting) E: Calleigh, you mean more to me than this. (gestures to encompass the lab) I like working with you, and we make a good team, but I…(pauses) I would rather be with you.
C: I don’t want you giving up anything just to be with me.
E: I’m not giving anything up. (grins, trying to get her to smile) Besides, maybe H won’t care.
C: (looking up at him) I don’t think Horatio will be the problem…but let’s talk about this later.
E: Okay. See ya after work. (Calleigh turns to leave; Natalia sees Eric stare after her) Outside Calleigh’s house; Eric has just arrived and Calleigh is walking out to meet him: C: Hey. (stops a few steps away from his car as he gets out) E: Hey. (looks at her; sees the worried expression) You okay?
C: I haven’t said anything to Kenzie yet. (pauses) I don’t want to think about it.
E: We just need to find out what those messages say.
C: (looking up at him) They must be terrifying if she reacts the way she did last night.
E: Then we need her to show us. (touches her arm) C: (pauses; takes a deep breath) Okay. No time like the present. (Eric follows her into the house) In the living room; Kenzie comes out of the kitchen: M: (overenthusiastically) Oh, perfect timing! Dinner’s ready.
C: Kenzie, can we talk to you for a minute?
M: (suspicious) Uh, okay. What about?
C: (pause) Why don’t we sit? (Eric sits next to her; Mackenzie sits across from them) M: Cals, what’s wrong? (worried) Did something happen?
E: Kenzie, it’s okay. Nothing’s wrong.
C: Kenzie, you know I don’t like to pry, and I try not to lecture.
M: Yeah…Calleigh, what is this about?
C: (pause) I’ve had this feeling that something’s bothering you, and I think it’s pretty serious because you haven’t said a word.
M: Calleigh…
C: Kenzie, I know you. There’s something you’re not saying and it’s got you running scared. I…(looks at Eric) We want to help.
E: We don’t want anything to happen to you.
M: (stands and starts pacing) Cals, you’re right. Something is bothering me, but you can’t help. I can’t…I won’t let you get involved in my problems.
C: Kenzie…
M: No! I don’t want them coming after you, too!
C: Kenzie, who? (pause; no answer) Kenzie, here’s the thing: I memorized that number last night.
M: (stops pacing) You what? C: I memorized the number and asked Eric to run a trace for me.
E: The ID that popped was for a guy in Honolulu, currently serving a 20-year prison sentence. (Calleigh stands to go to Mackenzie, who is holding back tears) That information also gave us the entire case file, and any linked cases.
C: What I don’t understand is what you have to do with those cases. Who is this guy? (waits for an answer) Kenzie, please tell us.
M: (letting the tears fall) He’s my ex!
C: Your ex-boyfriend?
M: (through tears; Calleigh hands her some tissue) Yeah. (deep breath) I met him last summer. He worked in a club that Sage and I used to go to. We started dating a month later. (Calleigh pulls Mackenzie to the couch to sit between her and Eric) E: (confused) Who’s Sage?
M: My roommate. We’ve known each other since the beginning of high school.
C: What happened?
M: Last August, Sage and I went to the club and Derek was supposed to be working. When I asked for him, the manager told me he’d fired Derek two weeks before for stealing from the safe and suspected drug possession with intent to sell.
E: Did they have proof?
M: (calming down) Nothing concrete, but with his suspicious activities leading up to his termination, it didn’t look good.
C: What did you do?
M: I waited until he came by the next day and asked how work was. (pause) The bastard lied to my face and I made sure he knew that I knew the truth. Then I kicked him out of my and Sage’s dorm and told him it was over.
E: (calculating in his head) That was a week before you were attacked.
M: (dabbing at her eyes, then looking at Eric) Yeah. He kept trying to get in touch with me the whole week after I dumped him and I finally told him to come and get his stuff. Then I found the memory card- proof of what he was into, and proof that he’d been cheating on me for months. Sage stayed with me while he was in our dorm room. He left the memory card behind.
C: That’s why you were attacked. He realized you had the memory card, and he couldn’t risk you turning it in when you realized what was on it.
M: I went to the police the morning of the attack to turn it in, and make a statement.
C: Could he have followed you?
M: I doubt it. One of the girls across the hall said he spent most of the morning pounding on our door when Sage and I were gone. If he’d known I’d taken it to the police, I don’t think he would’ve bothered.
E: How did they catch your attackers?
M: (smiling for the first time) I’m not majoring in criminal science for nothing. (looks at Calleigh) I remembered what you told me, Cals, about not panicking, and I made sure to scratch them. Lucky for me, Derek never paid any attention when I talked about discussions from class, and none of them figured I was identifying them under the guise of fighting back. When Sage brought the detectives to the infirmary, I told them everything I could remember and made sure they collected trace and nail scrapings.
C: Were all of them in CODIS?
M: All but one. I found out during the trial that he was a new recruit and his initiation was attacking me.
E: How long did the trials last?
M: They were tried together. (pause) Those were the longest two months of my life.
C: (quietly) When did you start getting these messages?
M: Last night when I was here with you. (Calleigh looks at her) I swear.
E: I don’t understand. Why did they wait so long to start sending these messages?
M: (looks at Eric) I don’t know, Eric. I think it may be because the rest of the gang has been laying low…and the appeals were denied the day before I left Oahu. I just can’t figure out how they got my new number. (to Calleigh) That’s why I was so shocked after that first message.
C: How many of these guys are there?
M: I don’t know, but they are part of the reason I came to Miami. The state prosecutor couldn’t guarantee that the trouble would stop once Derek and the others were in prison. He recommended an “extended vacation”. (to Calleigh) Then Dad got transferred to Germany and Mom was going with him, so I decided to come here- closer to family.
E: That was smart, considering the situation.
M: (looking at Calleigh with apology) But I didn’t come here to pull you into this, Cals. I prayed this (gesturing to mean the whole situation) wouldn’t happen.
C: (comforting) Kenzie, I’m glad you’re here. We’ll get through this.
E: (looks at Calleigh and Mackenzie) We can do this.
M: (looking at Calleigh and Eric) What about work? I know the department’s policy on relationships between coworkers. This’ll cause trouble for you guys.
E: (looks at Calleigh, then Mackenzie) It’s not even an issue. If it becomes an issue, I’ll transfer to the night shift.
M: (thinking, then realizing what Eric means) Eric, I can’t let you do that, not because of me!
E: (smiles) What is it with the Duquesne and Davis women? They’re so bossy.
C: (sarcastic laugh a she shakes her head) Ha! (Calleigh remembers when Eric wouldn’t let her go home alone) E: (to Mackenzie) Calleigh means more to me than the job. (pause) We’ll figure it out.
C: (hesitant to agree with Eric) Kenzie, as much as I dislike the idea myself, Eric’s right. But we’ll deal with that if and when we have to.
M: But…(starts to argue, then stops) Okay. So…what do we do in the meantime?
E: (looking at Calleigh for agreement) We wait. We can’t do anything until you get another message.
M: Okay. (looks at both of them) Thank you. (stands) Now, just give me a few minutes to warm up dinner. (goes to the kitchen) E: (stopping Calleigh before she can follow Mackenzie) Wait.
C: (turning to look at him) Eric…(questioningly) E: (looks at Calleigh, puts his hands on her hips) Calleigh, I meant what I said. I want you in my life…always.
C: Eric, I’m not going anywhere. (Eric starts to interrupt, only to stop when Calleigh puts a finger to his lips) If this goes to where we need to tell Horatio about us, then that’s what we’ll do. (tiptoes to kiss him, then takes him into the kitchen) Later in the living room, Eric standing at the window, looking out: C: (coming up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist) What are you thinking about?
E: I was thinking about how much Kenzie reminds me of Mari.
C: (pause) You miss her.
E: It’s not so much that I miss her. It’s the fact that there’s so many things that I see in Kenzie that remind me of how Mari was: the tenacity, the courage…and that protective streak. (Calleigh moves to his side)
C: Marisol was a great woman, Eric, and a great sister, I think.
E: (turning to look at her) What I mean is that I feel protective toward her, like I do with my family…and with you. (walking to the door)
C: (pause) Thank you, for being willing to protect her.
E: You’re welcome. (leans down to kiss her) I’ll see you in the morning. At the lab- Kenzie’s first day: C: (to Mackenzie as they walk through the lab) Did you sleep okay?
M: (walking beside Calleigh, deep in thought) Well enough. (looking at Calleigh, who looks tired) Did you sleep at all? (concerned) C: Don’t worry about me. (walking into Natalia’s lab) Hey, Nat.
N: Hey, Cal. (reaching for the results of her analysis) Here’s the results from the DNA I got off of your vic. No hits in CODIS yet, but that’s the local search. I’m expanding to national, but that could take awhile.
C: Thanks. (turns to Mackenzie, who is quietly observing from the doorway) Nat, I’d like you to meet someone. This is Mackenzie Davis, our new lab intern. Kenzie, this is Natalia Boa Vista.
N: (shaking Mackenzie’s hand) Nice to meet you, Mackenzie.
M: Same here. And please, call me Kenzie…(phone buzzes in her pocket; Mackenzie freezes as Calleigh comes over to her)
C: Kenzie? (seeing the instant fear on Mackenzie’s face) M: Cals…(pulls out the phone slowly ad if it might blow up)
N: Cals’ what, wrong?
C: Kenzie, what is it? (watches as Mackenzie answers, only to pale and sink to the floor with Natalia and Calleigh ruching to her) M: Cals, it’s them. But this is different. It’s a video.
N: Calleigh, what is going on?
M: (to Calleigh as she watches the video, then shows it to Calleigh) Cals, tell her. They have video- they know I’m in Miami!
N: Calleigh, what is this? (gesturing to the video, which she is watching over Calleigh’s shoulder) M: Calleigh, that video is from yesterday at school! (curls up) N: (impatiently) Calleigh…
C: Nat, Kenzie is my cousin. She’s been getting threatening text messages since she arrived in Miami two days ago. (takes out her phone and gives it to Mackenzie; quietly) Call Eric, Kenzie. Tell him to get in here now.
N: Who are these messages from? (trying to get a grip on the situation) M: Cals, what about…?
C: Now, Kenzie. (shakes her head when Mackenzie starts to argue) N: Calleigh, what the hell is this? (following Calleigh to the door) This can’t be about a case- she just started.
C: This has nothing to do with the lab. This is aimed at Kenzie personally.
N: (concerned to see Calleigh flustered) What can I do to help?
C: (bends to comfort Mackenzie; quietly to Natalia) Could you find Horatio and Ryan?
N: Sure. (leaves to find Horatio and Ryan) M: (hanging up the phone and giving it to Calleigh) Eric’s on his way. (urgently) Cals, you can’t tell Horatio and Ryan. It’ll screw things up for you and Eric!
C: It’ll be fine.
M: (looking at her phone in Calleigh’s hand; then looking at Calleigh in horror with tears in her eyes) One of the Bishops is here in Miami…I’ve put you in danger- they know where you live!
C: Kenzie, I’ll be fine. We’ll be fine.
E: (running in; frantic) What happened? Calleigh?
C: We’re fine…but it’s escalating. (hands him Mackenzie’s phone) They know where she is.
E: (watches the video, then looks at Mackenzie) Kenzie? Listen to me. They won’t get near you. I won’t let them.
H: (coming in with Natalia and Ryan; quietly) Who exactly are you talking about?
E: (turns and looks up at Horatio) H…(pause) These guys are worse than the Mala Noche, but we don’t have jurisdiction. (shows Horatio the video) H: We do now, Eric. AV Lab, Mackenzie’s phone on display. Eric and Horatio check it out as Kenzie and Calleigh wait outside: H: Eric, the young woman outside…
E: (pause) Her name’s Mackenzie Davis. She’s MDPD’s new lab intern. (pause) And she’s Calleigh’s cousin.
H: I saw the memo on the internship. I didn’t realize Calleigh had family in Miami besides Duke.
E: (hesitant) Kenzie transferred to Dade University from Hawaii. (Horatio notices Eric’s use of the nickname, but says nothing) H: (studying Eric, who’s extremely tense) All right. What’s going on?
E: (continues manipulating the display) She’s been getting these threatening text messages since she arrived in Miami. This last message was the first video.
H: So the situation’s escalating.
E: Yeah. (pause) These guys are dangerous, H.
H: (turns to go out to Calleigh and Mackenzie) Eric, I have no doubt about that. (goes outside)
C: (to Mackenzie) Kenzie? You okay?
M: (looks up at Calleigh) I think so. Calleigh, I’m so sorry. (Horatio comes over; hears the last) H: Calleigh.
C: (turns to him) Horatio. (looks at him expectantly) H: May I have a word with Ms. Davis, please?
C: (hesitant) Sure. (looks at Mackenzie, then goes into the AV lab with Eric) H: Ms. Davis, my name is Horatio Caine. Can you tell me what this is about?
M: (looking up from her lap) Please, Lieutenant, it’s Kenzie.
H: (nods) All right. Kenzie, what is this all about?
M: I helped put members of the Black Bishops in prison and now they’re coming after me.
H: The Black Bishops?
M: They’re called Na Pahoa `Ele`ele on Oahu. The case files are public record.
H: I’m sure they are. Do you have somewhere to stay?
M: I’ve been staying with Calleigh. (tears up again) But they know where she lives. I’ve put everyone I care about in danger.
H: Mackenzie, we won’t let anything happen. (Eric comes out of the AV lab) E: H, another message just came in…It’s another video.
H: Thank you, Eric. (to Mackenzie) Hang in there, Mackenzie. (turns to follow Eric) M: Lieutenant. (Horatio stops and looks at her) I need to see this.
H: (pause) All right. (holds the door open) M: (stops in front of him) Thank you. (Horatio nods) H: (in the AV lab) Eric, what do we have?
E: It’s another streamed video…all we can get from it is that it’s from the same source as the first.
M: The first video was taken yesterday on campus.
C: (standing next to Eric) This video…(sees herself with Mackenzie) This was taken…
E: (in realization) Outside your house.
M: They must have followed me from school. (frustrated) How did they find out I came to Miami? (stands next to Calleigh as Eric manipulates the controls) C: Kenzie, who knew you were coming here?
M: Only Sage and Matt, her boyfriend…and my professors. Sage and Matt would never tell anyone where I am, unless…unless they attacked Sage. (thinking) Derek never liked her. She stood up to him.
H: Mackenzie, is there a way to get in touch with Sage?
M: I can try. (Calleigh holds out her phone) Thanks, Cals. (dials Sage’s number; no answer) It’s going to voicemail. (calculates time difference) Let me try Matt. (dials again; Matt picks up) Matt?
MT: (shown split screen) Who is this? (groggily) M: Matt, it’s Kenzie. Where’s Sage?
MT: Kenzie? (alert; concerned) What’s up?
M: Never mind, Matt. Where’s Sage?
MT: She’s in the shower. Kenzie, are you okay?
M: I’m fine, Matt. I just need to talk to Sage.
MT: (to Sage, who has just come out of the shower) It’s Kenzie. She wants to talk to you.
S: Kenzie? (confused; then worried; grabs the phone) Kenzie? What’s wrong?
M: Sage, are you and Matt okay?
S: Yeah, we’re fine. What’s going on?
M: You’re not hurt? No one’s been hassling you?
S: Kenzie, we’re fine. I’m more worried about you. Are you okay?
M: I’m fine. Listen, who else knows where I am?
S: I haven’t told anyone. Neither has Matt, and none of the professors have mentioned you in class.
M: Okay. (pause) I need you and Matt to stay together. Don’t go anywhere alone.
S: Okay. (worried) Kenzie, what’s going on?
M: (quietly) They found me. I don’t know how they did it, but at least one of them is here in Miami. (pause; thinking) Sage, do you have your address book?
S: Let me get it. (searches her purse and backpack) It’s not here. I know I put it…(confused; frantic) Kenzie, it’s gone. I can’t find it.
M: (thinking fast) When did you use it last?
S: The day you left. Remember? I wrote down your new information because my phone was dead…(catching on) Oh no, Kenzie!
M: (to Calleigh, who is listening to the conversation intently with Horatio and Eric) Her address book is gone. That’s how they got my number.
S: Oh my God, Kenzie! This is my fault!
M: Sage, listen. Have you run into anyone new on campus? At the club?
S: I haven’t seen anyone new on campus and I haven’t gone near the club since your attack. I’m sorry, Kenzie.
M: Sage, it’s not your fault. I don’t blame you.
S: Will you be all right? Are you safe?
M: I’m fine. (looks around- Calleigh & Eric, Horatio and Natalia & Ryan, who just walked in) And I’m completely safe.
S: Kenzie, catch these bastards.
M: Thanks, Sage. (hangs up) E: Does she have any idea who it could’ve been?
M: No. She hasn’t seen anyone new at school and she’s avoided the club since I was attacked.
C: So there’s no way to figure out who we’re dealing with from the gang.
M: Probably not, but Sage will let us know if she thinks of something. (quietly to Calleigh) She’s blaming herself, and she’s afraid for me.
C: Nothing’s gonna happen to you. (bumps her) Anyone who tries to come near you is gonna have to go through about half of MDPD first…(looks around) In case you didn’t notice.
N: (coming over to Calleigh and Mackenzie; to the whole room) So what now?
R: (watching the videos on the screen) We could try analyzing the videos again.
N: What do you mean?
R: What if we tried for a reflection image?
E: (manipulating controls, then stopping to look at Ryan) You wanna try getting a reflection of the person who shot the video.
R: Yeah. (tapping a control) There’s a few reflective surfaces we could work with.
C: It’s worth a try. (looks around; Horatio nods) R: (to Horatio) I’ll see what I can do. Maybe I’ll pull Dave in.
H: (to Calleigh) Calleigh, get me those case files, please.
C: (squeezes Mackenzie’s arm, then heads for the door) I’m on it.
M: Horatio? (waits for him to turn) I’d like to help.
H: Mackenzie, I can’t put you on this.
M: Oh no. I meant help with the backlog. I know I can’t work this case because I’m involved in it. But I would like to do something- anything is better than just waiting.
N: (to Horatio) Actually, Horatio, I could use her. There’s about another dozen or so samples that need DNA results.
H: All right. (Mackenzie walks out with Natalia; to Ryan) Mr. Wolfe, let me know when you get something.
R: (already working the controls) You’ll be the first.
H: (stepping outside with Eric) Eric, do you have a minute?
E: Sure, H. (walks with Horatio to the parking lot) H: (by his Hummer) How involved are you in this, Eric?
E: What do you mean? (trying for oblivious and failing)
H: You and Calleigh…(sees Eric’s face) You know department policy.
E: Yeah…
H: I know you and Calleigh are close.
E: I love her, H. The change in department policy was IAB’s issue with Stetler and Detective Salas’ relationship.
H: I know, Eric.
E: I’ll transfer to the night shift if I have to, H. I’m not giving Calleigh up.
H: (looks Eric in the eye) I’m not telling you to. But I will tell you this: tread lightly. (waits to see if Eric understands) E: (with gratitude) Thanks, H.
H: (getting in the Hummer) Anytime, Eric. Anytime. DNA Lab #1, Kenzie and Natalia running analysis: N: So you and Calleigh are pretty close.
M: I guess you could say that. I’ve always thought of her more as a big sister.
N: When did you move to Hawaii?
M: (taking samples, running tests, etc.) When I was 14. My dad was transferred to Schofield Barracks.
N: Your dad was military? (surprised)
M: (smiles affectionately) Still is. He and my mom just moved to Germany.
N: Is that why you came to Miami? (running a search through CODIS) M: Mostly. Then all of this (gesturing) happened. (pause) I just wanted to feel safe again, and Calleigh’s always been there for me.
N: She’s pretty fierce when someone she cares about is threatened. (smiling) I’d hate to be on the receiving end of her wrath.
M: (laughs for the first time) I know. (machines beep and reports print out) That’s the last one.
N: Great. (takes the reports) Thanks for helping out.
M: No, thank you for keeping me busy.
N: You’re welcome. (pause) Why don’t you go check with Calleigh? I’ll get these filed.
M: Okay. (pause) Thanks, Natalia. (leaves) In Calleigh’s lab:
C: (seeing Mackenzie walk in) Hey. You finished with Natalia already?
M: Yeah. (pause) It was good to get my hands into it. (looking at the screen) What have you gotten so far?
C: I’m just waiting for the last batch of trial transcripts to come through, then we can check with Ryan in AV.
M: (quietly) Okay.
C: Kenzie, it’ll be fine.
M: I know. I just feel horrible for getting you and Eric involved in my mess.
C: About that…(Mackenzie looks at her) Eric talked to Horatio. Horatio’s not gonna report us to IAB.
M: Wow. (pause) But what about IAB finding out on their own?
C: (with a disgusted, but determined look) We’ll deal with Rick Stetler when we get to that point. (picks up the last of the reports) Let’s get down to AV. AV Lab- Ryan with Dave (AV guy): C: Hey Ryan, Dave. Have you gotten lucky yet?
R: Not yet, but I think we’re close.
D: We just need a clearer picture. (pauses as he moves things around) I need to change the resolution, and zoom in a little more…(working the controls; Eric comes in with Natalia) E: Did you get anything? (moves to stand behind Calleigh and Mackenzie) R: I think we’re just…about…there! (Dave stops; Ryan pulls out his phone to call Horatio) Hey H. We’ve got something. (hangs up) E: (studying the picture as Dave continues to clear up the facial features) Kenzie, do you know that guy?
M: (as the picture finally clears) I can’t believe it! How could I have missed that?
C: Kenzie, who is he?
M: His name’s Jacob…He used to hang out with Derek at the club, until he got busted for being a bookie.
C: What does he have to do with this?
M: My guess is he joined the Bishops when he finished his stint in community service. He was always at the club.
E: So he knew you.
M: Yeah. And he wasn’t my biggest fan.
E: What do you mean?
M: We had almost identical class schedules at UH. He’s really smart. We competed for a couple of internships. When he got busted, he lost his scholarship and had to do work study to finish a few classes.
C: So you got the internships, and he got nothing.
M: Yeah.
C: Maybe he’s not doing this for the Bishops. Maybe he’s getting revenge. (Horatio walks in) H: What do we have, Mr. Wolfe?
R: We’ve got a clear reflection of the suspect and we’re starting a triangulation on the cell signal. (Dave takes over the controls) As long as the phone stays on, we should be able to pinpoint him.
H: Send me the location when you get it.
R: Will do.
H: Eric, let’s get him. (walks out)
E: Right behind you. (to Mackenzie and Calleigh) We’ll get him. (follows Horatio at a run)
N: Now what? (watching the screen as the signal holds on a location) C: (looks at Natalia, then at Mackenzie) Now, we wait. (to Mackenzie) They’ll get him. (pause; then to distract Mackenzie) Let’s go to the firearms lab. I’ve got an idea for my open case.
M: (looks at Calleigh after turning away from the screen) Sure. Horatio and Eric at Dade University: H: Where’s the signal, Eric?
E: (watching the scanner) We’re heading straight for it.
H: (spotting Jacob) There he is…let’s take him, Eric.
E: (at Jacob) Miami Dade PD! Put your hands up! (Jacob runs; Eric chases him down and tackles him, then proceeds to cuff him; Horatio catches up as Frank comes over) H: You okay, Eric?
E: (winded) Yeah. (hauls Jacob off the ground; Frank takes hold of him) Get this guy outta here, Frank.
F: (handling Jacob roughly) Will do. (to Jacob) Move it, pal. (loads him into a cruiser) H: Nice work, Eric.
E: (catching his breath) Thanks.
H: Let’s get back. At the lab, in interrogation- Frank and Eric with Jacob: E: (shows Mackenzie’s picture to Jacob) Why have you been stalking her?
J: (sarcastically) I ain’t been stalkin’ no one. E: That’s bull, and you know it. Why?
F: Hey wise guy. Answer the question.
J: (defiantly) Or what?
E: Why are you after her? (shows Mackenzie’s picture again) J: (pause; then with punk attitude) I was just havin’ some fun.
E: Who sent you after her?
J: What? What are you talkin’ about?
E: Who sent you to stalk her?
J: Dude, nobody sent me. I came on my own?
E: So where’d you get this from? (shows a picture of the phone they’d tracked)
J: I found it.
E: You took it. (Calleigh and Mackenzie stop outside of interrogation) J: (looks out at Calleigh and Mackenzie in shock) You can’t prove a damn thing with that.
E: (smirks as he notices Jacob’s reaction to Mackenzie) That’s where you’re wrong. I can prove that this phone belongs to a friend of yours who’s currently doing 20. That friend is a known member of the Black Bishops.
J: So what’s that got to do with me? I haven’t done anything illegal. (finally dropping the punk attitude) F: Pal, you better check your definition of illegal.
J: So I sent a couple of messages to scare her. That’s all.
E: You’d better be sure that’s all you’ve done, or I’ll be seeing you again soon. (to Frank in disgust) Let this creep out.
F: (to Jacob) Beat it. (looks at Eric) You wanna tail this guy?
E: Yeah. Let’s see how far this jerk goes, who he talks to.
F: Can do. (walks off, after nodding at Calleigh and Mackenzie) C: (to Eric) So how’d that go?
E: We can’t get him on connection to the Bishops with circumstantial evidence. Frank’s putting a tail on him.
M: So why is he here? (pacing back and forth) E: He claims that he’s here on his own- no Bishop influence. We may be able to get him for harassment, but nothing solid yet.
C: Then we hang on a little longer. (pause) All the evidence we have here is in order. (to Eric) And I’ve run all the ballistic evidence on our other case. No priors for either weapon, so there’s no way of pinning down our shooter, or shooters. Dade University campus:
J: (on a prepaid phone) What’s up?
BB1: Get out to the ferry dock.
J: Okay. (starts walking) BB1: Be quick about it!
J: Okay! (reaches the ferry dock) What’s goin’ on?
BB1: What’d the cops want?
J: They wanted to know why I was chasin’ after Derek’s ex.
BB1: What’d you tell ‘em?
J: Relax, man. I told em’ I was trying to scare her.
BB1: She’ll be plenty scared when we’re doing here… She’s gonna wish she never met No Pahoa `Ele`ele. (pause) And you better keep your trap shut!
J: Hey, I ain’t saying a damn word!
BB1: It better stay that way!
J: (hesitant) What are you gonna do to her anyway?
BB1: We’re gonna make sure she can’t contest another appeal to get Derek and the others out. If we can’t get them out of Halawa with the next appeal, they’re headed to Arizona for the rest of their sentences.
J: What makes you think she’s gonna go back to Honolulu just for the appeal hearing?
BBI: Because the little ***** know too much! (pause; then snickers) We’re gonna make her look like a fool…and then nothing she’ll say will pass muster.
J: Then what?
BB1: We get rid of her completely…(thinks for a minute) Better yet, we’ll just take her out now, before she even has a chance at the appeal hearing!
J: (shocked and confused) Wait, what?! Are you crazy?! We can’t kill her- her new friends are cops!!
BB1: All the more reason to be quick about it! (gives Jacob a gun) Dade University, the next day:
D: (answering phone) Hello?
E: (on the other end; shown split screen with Calleigh) Hey Dave. It’s Eric.
D: (stopping outside a building) What’s up?
E: (looking at Calleigh) Could you do me a favor?
D: I have class in 15 minutes. Can it wait until this afternoon?
E: Actually, you can do this while you’re in class.
D: (confused) What are you talkin’ about?
E: Calleigh’s cousin, Mackenzie…She’s in your class. You think you could kind of watch out for her? She shouldn’t be alone because we don’t know what that creep is up to. But I have a really bad feeling.
D: I take it you don’t want her to know you sent me. (grinning) E: (smiling sheepishly) I’d rather she not find out. (pause) You met her yesterday, right?
D: Yeah, kind of. (pause) We weren’t properly introduced, I’m sad to say.
E: (grinning) Just keep her company, would you? That creep is up to something.
D: Sure, Eric. (pause) By the way, you owe me. (laughs) Just kidding.
E: Thanks, Dave. Call me or Calleigh if something looks wrong, okay?
D: Sure. (hangs up and walks to class, where he spots Mackenzie) Hey. You’re Calleigh’s cousin, right? Mackenzie?
M: Yeah…(thinks about his identity) You’re Dave, from the AV lab, right?
D: Yeah. I’m taking a couple of classes while working towards a degree in criminology. I’m just a tech right now.
M: Cool. I think that’s great. (pause) I love the AV lab, by the way.
D: Maybe we’ll get a case together some time. (smiling; pause) You don’t mind if I sit here, do you? (pointing at the seat next to her) M: Not at all. (pause; quietly to him) Actually, I’d welcome the company of a familiar face. I haven’t met a lot of people since I got here.
D: (smiling as he sits) Well, at least you know most of the people in the lab by name. That’s at least a dozen or so.
M: Thanks. (pause) So, what classes are you taking?
D: I’ve got Physics and this Chemistry class. I’m also planning on taking Psychology at some point. What about you?
M: This is actually my last Chemistry course. I’ve already finished Physics and Biology- I guess you could say I’ve majored in the practical sciences. Then I have to finish my internship at the lab.
D: Cool. (grinning) You’re really smart! (professor walks in; talking ends) Eric heading to firearms to see Calleigh; phone rings: E: (answering) Delko.
F: Eric, I’ve been tailing this guy for the last six hours and he hasn’t even put one toe out of line.
E: What about last night?
F: All reports say he spent the night on campus in the dorms, except for about five minutes down on the ferry dock.
E: He stayed on campus?
F: He didn’t come out until this morning. (pause) You think he’s a registered student?
E: No, that would’ve come up when we ran his prints. Maybe he’s got a friend? (walks into the firing range as Calleigh fires test shots)
F: I’ll check it out. (hangs up) E: (watching her finish up, then take off her safety gear) Hey.
C: (jumping a little at the surprise) Hey! (smiling and breathing fast) You scared me!
E: (grins) I couldn’t help it. (seriously) Frank called.
C: (all business as she picks up her test rounds and equipment) What’d he say?
E: Jacob never left campus after a short visit to the ferry dock when we cut him loose.
C: (putting it together in her head) You think he knows someone on campus?
E: (nods) Frank’s gonna check it out. (pause) I’d like to know why he was at the ferry dock. All reports say he was there for maybe five minutes, but no mention of him meeting someone. Dade University- Dave and Kenzie leaving class: D: (picking up Mackenzie’s books and his own) So where are you headed?
M: This is my last class for the day. I have to get to the lab this afternoon. What about you?
D: (following her out into the courtyard) Well, this is my last class until 7. And it’s my day off, so I’m totally free. (pause) You wanna grab something to eat before you head to the lab?
M: (debating on whether to flirt, decides to go for it) Sure. What sounds good? (heading to the parking lot) D: (following her to Calleigh’s car; stunned) Wow.
M: (looking at him and reaching for her books) What?
D: Nice ride! (staring at it) Yours?
M: (smiling and taking her books) No, Calleigh’s. I just get to use it since she’s always in the Hummer. (affection in her voice) D: (looking at Mackenzie; hearing her tone) You two are really close, huh?
M: (looking up at him) She’s one of my best friends, and she’s…(cut off as Dave pulls her down and covers her as shots are fired) D: (shots stop; checks Mackenzie for wounds) Are you okay?
M: (looking at him, checking him; in shock) I think so. What about you?
D: I’m fine. (pulls out his phone; hears sirens, so calls Eric instead of 911) Eric, it’s Dave. Get down to Dade U. That jerk just took a few shots at Mackenzie.
E: (shown split screen with Calleigh in the Hummer) We’re on our way. We heard the dispatch. (pause) Are you both okay?
D: We’re…fine. Just a little shook up. We’ll see you when you get here. (hangs up as Mackenzie starts to protest) Eric made me promise not to tell you he’d asked me to stay with you. They’ll be here soon. (looks up as Frank drives up, followed by a squad car and two uniforms) F: Dave? Is she…?
D: She’s not hit. How’d you get here so fast?
F: I was headed this way when I heard the shots. I just left the admissions office.
D: You called it in.
F: Yeah. (pause) You sure you two are okay?
D: (looking at Mackenzie) Yeah. (Frank goes over to the squad car; Dave bends to look at Mackenzie) Mackenzie?
M: (looking at him) Why did Eric make you promise not to tell me? (Dave looks away; Mackenzie turns his head so she can see his eyes) Dave, why?
D: He didn’t say why. (putting his hands on hers) I think he and Calleigh figured you’d object to protection.
M: (pausing as she checks him over again) Normally, they’d be right. But…you just saved my life. Thank you. (pulls him to sit next to her; leans on him) D: You’re welcome. I’m glad you’re okay. (gives her a hug as Eric and Calleigh pull up) Stay here. I’ll be right back. (stands to meet Eric; Calleigh continues past him to Mackenzie)
C: (kneeling) Kenzie?
M: (looking up) I’m fine, Cals. (trying to joke, but tearing up; Calleigh hugs her) He saved my life, Cals. (realizing the car might be damaged) Oh my God! Your car! Did he hit your car? (rushing to check) C: (follows Mackenzie as she checks the car) Kenzie, it doesn’t matter. I’m just glad you and Dave weren’t hurt.
M: (looking up, confused; not finding any bullet holes) Something’s not right.
C: (following Mackenzie’s gaze) There isn’t any damage…no bullet holes…
E: (to Dave while watching Calleigh and Mackenzie circle the car) You sure you’re okay?
D: Yeah. (looking at Calleigh and Mackenzie) Not a scratch.
E: Thanks, Dave, for being with her.
D: (watching Mackenzie with more concern) Is she gonna be okay? She was in shock.
E: (recognizing the look and concern) I think so. She’s tougher than she looks. (pause) Why don’t you get her outta here? You don’t mind taking her to the lab, do you?
D: Not at all. (pause) The guy that did this? I don’t think he was really trying to hit her.
E: What do you mean?
D: It felt, and looked like, he was putting on a show of trying to kill her. (pause) And from looking at Calleigh’s car, his aim was wide.
E: (thinking) Thanks, Dave. (both go over to Calleigh and Mackenzie) D: (to Mackenzie, when she looks at him) How about we get out of here?
M: (looks at Eric, than at Calleigh, who nods slightly) I’d like that. (pause; to Dave) You don’t mind?
D: (grinning) Not at all. (flirting) I believe we still have lunch plans. (turns and winks at Calleigh, who smiles) We’ll see you guys back at the lab. (leads Mackenzie to his car) C: Eric…(Eric looks at her) I think Dave is smitten with my darling cousin.
E: (grinning) I think you’re right. (pause) I know exactly how he feels. (looks around) Dave said it didn’t feel like Jacob was really trying to kill Kenzie.
C: (thinking as they walk the scene) Dave and Kenzie were on the driver’s side of my car, so Jacob was shooting from the passenger side. (walking to the end of the parking lot; finding casings and footprints) 9-mil.
E: He was shooting from here. (follows the footprints into the shrubs; finds a gun) Calleigh, I think this may be our weapon.
C: It’s consistent with the casings. Let’s see if we can find any of the bullets. (continues to process the scene with Eric) At the lab; Dave and Kenzie waiting outside on the bench when Eric and Calleigh pull up: D: (sitting next to Mackenzie, watching the parking lot) Here they come.
M: (looking up) I hope they found something.
D: (tentatively taking her hand) Of course they did. This is Eric and Calleigh we’re talkin’ about. (squeezes her hand; Eric and Calleigh walk up) M: Cals, did you find anything?
C: Kenzie, relax.
M: But Cals…(Eric steps up and lays his hand on her shoulder) E: Kenzie, we’ll fill you in when we’ve got everything processed. (to Dave) Can you hang out awhile longer? (sees Dave and Mackenzie’s hands) D: Sure. (holds Mackenzie’s hand firmly so she doesn’t bolt) No problem.
E: (to Mackenzie) We’ll figure this out, Kenzie. (pause) Something’s not adding up. (motions for Dave and Mackenzie to go in; turns to Calleigh and sees Jacob coming up) Calleigh, either this guy is really cocky, or he’s got a death wish.
C: (turns and sees Jacob) This is absolutely insane! (confused)
E: (starts over to Jacob; Calleigh follows) You!
J: (stopping; scared) I came to turn myself in- They wanted me to kill her! Please tell me I didn’t hurt her!
C: Who wants her dead? The Black Bishops?
J: Yeah! They want her dead, but I couldn’t do it! I couldn’t kill her! (hysterical) Is she okay? Please tell me I didn’t hit her! (Dave and Mackenzie come out to see the commotion) M: Cals?
J: (looks at her as Eric grabs him and cuffs him) Mackenzie- you’re okay! (pleading) I’m sorry! I was just doing what they told me!
H: (coming over) What’d they tell you?
J: (turning to Horatio as Frank approaches) I swear I’ll tell you everything! They’re going too far this time!
H: (to Frank) Frank, escort this young man to interview, please.
F: Sure thing. (grabs Jacob) Nice to see ya again. (takes Jacob to an interview room) H: (to Eric) I heard about the shooting. Everything okay?
E: Yeah, well, our one suspect just turned himself in. (looks at Calleigh with Dave and Mackenzie) Kenzie’s…she’s holdin’ her own, H.
H: I have no doubt about that, Eric. (eyeing Eric) What’d you get from the scene?
E: A gun that’s the same caliber as the rounds we found, and a good set of footprints.
H: Why don’t you get that processed? I’m willing to bet that gun has a history.
E: You got it. (goes to the others) In interview- Horatio and Frank with Jacob: H: Why are the Bishops trying to kill Mackenzie?
J: They don’t want her to have a chance at testifying at the next appeal hearing for the Derek and the others.
F: Why are you helping them anyway? We’ve checked your record- you’re not their typical type of recruit.
J: I owed them money. They covered a few of my gambling debts in exchange for my help with things like this. But I swear I never would’ve agreed if I had known they were thinking murder.
H: Who gave the order?
J: (hesitant) His name is Cory. He’s Derek’s cousin.
H: Is he here in Miami?
J: Yeah. I met him at the ferry dock last night. That’s when he gave me the gun and told me to kill her.
H: I’d think you’d want Mackenzie gone, too, considering your history with her.
J: No! I mean, yeah, I was angry- everything came easy for her! But I never wanted to kill her. (pause) I think she deserves all of the good in her life.
F: So what are the Bishops gonna do now? I’m pretty sure they know you flaked by now.
J: All I know is that they’ll keep coming until you stop them. (pause) I want to help. It’s the least I can do…and I owe here that much.
H: (quietly) You realize they’ll be coming for you, too.
J: Yeah…but I deserve it. She doesn’t. Firearms Lab- Eric and Calleigh: E: (bringing in the gun from the crime scene) Hey.
C: There you are. Did you get prints off of the weapon?
E: Yeah. Two sets- Jacob’s and an unknown. But there was only one set on the rounds in the clip- the unknown.
C: (taking the gun) Now we need to see if the rounds we found at the scene came from this gun. (pauses and gets ready for a test fire) Was Horatio still in interview?
E: (watching her) Yeah. I don’t know what they’re getting out of him. (Calleigh looks at him) You don’t think he’s conning us, do you?
C: I don’t know what to think…(pause) but I do know he looked terrified at the thought that he might’ve killed Kenzie. (pulls on safety gear) Let’s just follow the evidence. (Eric leaves as Calleigh continues test fire, then analysis; on the phone after getting the results) Eric, you are not gonna believe this. Staff Lounge- Dave and Kenzie waiting for news; Kenzie getting impatient: M: (pacing) What’s taking so long?
D: (standing to stop her in her tracks) Mackenzie, stop. (holds her arms) You know they’ll come when they have something to tell you. (pulls her into his arms) Although, I agree with you. I’d rather be working this instead of sitting on the sidelines. (Mackenzie steps back)
M: Thanks, Dave. (turning to look out a window) I just wish this were over. (Dave wraps his arms around her)
E: (walking in with Calleigh; hearing Mackenzie) It will be if we have anything to do with it.
M: (turning with Dave to face them) So?
C: Jacob’s prints are all over the gun we found at the parking lot, but not on the casings we found or the rounds in the clip
M: Which means he didn’t load the weapon. He only fired it.
E: All of the spent rounds from the scene were from this gun…(looks at Calleigh)
C: We also found a set of unidentifiable prints on the gun and the casings. (pause) We’ve also found that this gun was used in another crime a few days ago.
E: The prints that were found at that crime scene were a match to the unidentifiable set from this.
D: So, now what do we do?
C: Now, we wait to see what Horatio gets out of Jacob. Outside of interview- Horatio and Frank still inside with Jacob; Eric, Dave, Calleigh and Kenzie waiting: C: (trying to be optimistic) Horatio will get something that will lead us to these guys. (Horatio comes out) Horatio?
M: Horatio, what did he say? (Dave stays at her side) H: (looking at all of them) He’s willing to help us get the leader. (to Mackenzie) Do you know Cory?
M: No. Who’s he?
H: He’s apparently the head of the Bishops, and Derek’s cousin. He’s also a founding member of the Black Bishops.
M: I never met Derek’s family. I think if I hadn’t found out about him when I did, it may have gotten to that point and I thank God now that it didn’t.
H: Did you ever see him with the same people?
M: There were a few people that he always had with him.
H: Could you pick them out?
M: (considering) Yeah. (Horatio nods, thinking) C: So what’s our next move?
H: We’re cutting Jacob loose, with a wire and GPS transmitter.
E: Are we monitoring on the move?
H: Ryan and Natalia are taking care of that.
C: What do you want us to do?
H: Follow the evidence. Everything by the book- we’re not giving these guys any loopholes to wiggle through.
M: Horatio, what can I do? Sitting here and waiting is driving me crazy!
C: Kenzie…
M: I can’t sit here and do nothing!
H: Mackenzie, I need you to stay out of danger so you can ID these people and put them away. (Mackenzie starts to protest until H puts his hand up) You and Dave can help here. I can’t let you work this case- you know that. But there are still pieces of video and audio evidence from other cases.
M: Horatio, I…(starts to argue, then stops and thinks) Okay. Anything is better than doing nothing.
H: Okay. (turns to Dave) Dave, I know it’s your day off.
D: I’m stayin’. I want to see this through. (earns smiles from Calleigh and Mackenzie) We’ll be in the AV lab. (takes Mackenzie’s hand and leads her out; Calleigh and Eric smile at the image) C: Okay. We’ll go back through the evidence, make sure there’s no leaks. (pause) And I’m gonna try IBIS again, see if I can get more history on the gun.
H: Thank you. (Natalia and Ryan walk in from another scene, answering Horatio’s page)
N: What’s happening? I just saw that kid Jacob leaving.
H: He’s helping us bring the Bishops in.
R: He’s wired?
H: Yes.
N: What do you need from us?
H: I want the two of you running surveillance. Frank’s already tailing him. If things are the way Jacob said they’ll be, then the Bishops will be looking for an outlet. Calleigh and Eric can start on your evidence.
R: Okay. We’re on it. (he and Natalia leave) H: (to Eric and Calleigh) Keep me posted. (Calleigh nods) Eric running prints from Natalia and Ryan’s case; running another analysis on the mystery prints from the shooting: E: (on the phone; shown split screen with Calleigh) How’s it goin’ in IBIS?
C: I’m runnin’ Nat’s slugs through IBIS, but I’m still trying to get more on our weapon. (pause) What about you- any luck?
E: I just finished running the prints Ryan collected. (pause; thinking) I think I’ll try one more filter through AFIS. (pauses again) We have to find a way to nail these guys.
C: I know. I’ll talk to you later. (Calleigh hangs up; Eric continues working the prints) Abandoned warehouse on the dock- Bishop temporary headquarters: BB1: (to no one in particular) That bastard! I should’ve known better than to trust that sniveling jackass!
BB2: Dude, maybe he’s waiting out the cops- you saw the tail they had on him yesterday.
BB1: (calming down a little) Maybe…but why hasn’t he shown his face?
BB2: You told him not to come here until it was done.
BB1: When has that ever stopped him? He…(stops as a side door opens and Jacob walks in) Speak of the devil! Jake, what’s goin’ on?
J: (shaking) I need another gun. I dropped the other one when I heard the sirens.
BB1: (getting upset again) You left it there?
J: I don’t think they’ve tied it to me. They would’ve pulled me in again by now. And I don’t know how the cops got there so fast!
BB1: Okay. So what’s your plan now?
J: I overheard her talkin’ about some class. She should be back on campus tonight. I’ll get her then.
BB1: Good idea. There’s more cover after sunset. This time Jerome goes with you. (BB2 nods) J: Okay. (hesitant) Whatever you say, Cory.
BB1: (turns to a laptop and starts typing) Now beat it. Surveillance; Nat and Ryan in the Hummer; Frank in an unmarked cruiser: F: (on radio with Horatio; Natalia and Ryan listening in) You heard all of that, right?
H: Yes. Ryan?
R: H, according to Calleigh, Mackenzie doesn’t have class tonight.
N: But Dave does. (confused) What is this guy pullin’?
H: Frank, can you stay on him without being made?
F: Sure, but what are we gonna do?
H: I think…our young friend is trying to give us an opening. Mr. Wolfe, I want you and Ms. Boa Vista at Dade University. Wait there.
R: Okay, H. (starts the Hummer and heads out) H: (on the phone as he runs back to into the lab from his Hummer) Eric, meet me in the AV lab. Bring Calleigh. I think we have our next move.
E: (split screen) Okay. (hangs up as he walks into firearms) Hey.
C: (turning) What’s up?
E: H has an idea. We gotta get to AV.
C: Okay. (finishes locking up evidence, then walks with Eric to AV; to Mackenzie and Dave) Hey guys.
M: (turning from the screen) Hey. (confused) What’s going on? (Horatio walks in)
H: Jacob told Cory that he’d get Mackenzie tonight after a class. (looks around) Here’s the plan… Dade University, Calleigh and Nat watching the parking lot from the Hummer; Jacob pulls in with Jerome: BB2: Where is she, Jake?
J: She’s inside. The class started at 7.
BB2: How do you know?
J: Because she’d never miss a class. Remember? I went to school with her.
BB2: She better be here, or Cory’s gonna kill you.
J: (shuddering with realization at this statement) I know.
BB2: (hands Jacob a .45) Here ya go. (sees Mackenzie walking, apparently alone) There she is. Get it over with.
J: (getting out of the car) I’ll be right back. (cocks gun and walks toward Mackenzie; into the wire) If you cops are out there, now would be a good time to show yourselves.
H: (to Eric and Ryan, who are hiding- Eric in the bushes near Mackenzie, Ryan behind Jacob’s car) He’s coming. Get ready.
E: Copy, H.
H: (to Calleigh and Natalia in the Hummer) Where’s Mackenzie?
C: She’s 20 feet from Eric. Where’s Ryan?
R: (over radio) I’m behind Jacob’s car. (looks in and sees BB2) Cory made good. The other guy’s still in the car, waiting for Jacob.
J: (to Mackenzie, who freezes 10 feet from him) You thought you had me, huh? (waves the gun) Thought I wouldn’t try again? (quietly into the wire) Please tell her I’m sorry for everything I’ve done. (louder so BB2 can hear on the far side of the parking lot) Come on, *****! You got nothing to say?!
C: (over radio) Eric…
E: I’ve got her, Calleigh. H?
H: On my count, Eric, Ryan. (pause) Go! (Ryan pops up by the car, Eric comes out of the shadows nearest Jacob) E: Drop it! Get on the ground! (Jacob drops the gun and gets down; Eric comes over and frisks him, then quietly) We’ve gotta get this wire off of you. (takes the wire and cuffs Jacob) R: (at the passenger window of Jacob’s car) Hands where I can see ‘em! (BB2 puts his hands out the window; Ryan opens the door) Get out! On the ground!
E: Kenzie, get to the Hummer. (bends down to pull Jacob up) You’re under arrest. (drags Jacob to his feet as Mackenzie reaches the Hummer) H, we clear?
H: Hang on, Eric. (to Ryan as he cuffs BB2) Mr. Wolfe?
R: Clear! (dragging BB2 over to the squad car that just pulled in) Where’s Mackenzie? (tossing BB2 over to the uniform)
H: She’s with Calleigh and Natalia. Nice work, Ryan. (turns to see Eric bringing Jacob over) Well done, Eric.
E: Thanks. (starts to hand Jacob over; sees movement from the side and a glint of metal) Everyone down! (tries to pull Jacob down as shots are fired; Jacob drops with two holes in his chest; Calleigh yelling over the radio; Horatio fires and hits the stray shooter; Ryan runs over to grab him) We need an ambulance NOW! (tries to stop Jacob’s bleeding; Mackenzie and Calleigh run over; Jacob dies) M: Jacob? Jacob! (turns to Calleigh; Ryan brings the shooter, Cory, over and throws him into the squad car with a flesh wound on the arm) H: (reaching the small group) Eric?
E: (looks up at Calleigh, Mackenzie and Horatio) He’s gone. Both rounds center of the chest. (looks down at Jacob and at his own bloody hands) He didn’t have a chance. Next Day; at the lab, Dave works on reviewing the wire recording; Eric comes into the AV lab: E: Hey Dave. Anything?
D: (quietly) I think he knew they’d kill him anyway.
E: Do we have enough to nail them?
D: I think so. Everything on here is crystal clear. We’ve got the entire conversation planning Mackenzie’s shooting, including names. (pause) He wanted her to know that he was sorry for everything. (looking at Eric) How is she?
E: (hesitant, but noticing the feelings raging in Dave) She’s…struggling with the fact that Jacob was helping her when he was killed. She’s blaming herself. (pause) She’s with Calleigh in firearms.
D: (quietly) Okay. Would you…never mind.
E: Dave, you should tell her how you feel. (Dave looks at Eric) Don’t wait. Tell her.
D: (curiously) Speaking from experience?
E: (thinks about his close calls with Calleigh) Yeah. And I almost lost my chance.
D: You don’t think it’s too soon?
E: It doesn’t matter what I think. It’s what you feel.
D: (considering) Thanks, Eric.
E: (walking out to meet Calleigh and Mackenzie) No problem. (Dave signs off on the recording, signs out for the day; Eric meets Calleigh and Mackenzie in the parking lot)
C: (turning) Hey. The rounds Alexx got from Jacob match the .45 from our parking structure shooting.
E: Our mystery prints were Cory’s, and I found Jerome’s on the casings of the .45.
C: We’ve got them nailed.
E: Yeah, on both cases. (looks at Mackenzie) They’ll be going away for a long time.
C: The only question I have is why the random shooting at the parking structure?
E: It turns out it wasn’t so random. The two vics were rival drug dealers. (pause; offers his arm to Calleigh and slings his arm around Mackenzie’s shoulders) What do you ladies say to getting out of here?
C: (smiling slightly) Let’s go.
E: Where to? (heads for Calleigh’s Hummer)
D: (running towards them) Mackenzie! (Mackenzie turns and starts to walk back to Dave)
E: (quietly to Calleigh) Maybe it’s just us tonight. (Eric and Calleigh turn to watch Dave take Mackenzie’s hand and talk to her before she steps into his arms)
C: (nods and smiles) I think it’s just us tonight. (takes his arm again as he leads the way to her Hummer) Shall we? (Eric smiles as he helps her into the Hummer before looking back at Dave and Mackenzie, then gets into the driver’s seat)

Kidnapping

maui_mandy85 — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 21:34:23 CST

I walked out to my car in the blistering heat of the Miami sun. I started unloading groceries from my car when suddenly, I was hit over the head from behind. Everything went black...
I woke up and found myself in some kind of small, contained space. I felt around and immediately recognized it, I was trapped in a car trunk.
I reached in my pocket, hoping my cell phone was still with me, it was. I opened it up and looked in my contacts for the phone number of the person who could help me in this situation. I found the number and dialed it.
* * *
In a house in central Miami, a tall, thin man seemed to rise higher then all the others around him. The man stood six-feet tall, with fiery red hair and bright electronic blue eyes.
A young Cuban came to his side and spoke in a whisper.
"H," he said,"this woman was really torn up, and it looks like she fought back."
"Okay," the man turned and looked over the crime scene," collect, bag, and tag."
"Right, H" the Cuban nodded and turned to walk away.
"And Eric," the red-head called after him,"make sure Alex gets all the stab wounds,this girl's been butchered."
"okay, on it," Eric nodded and returned to his work.
The red-head's phone went off without warning, he answered, "Horatio."
"Lt. Caine?" a panicked, muffled voice responded.
"who is this?" Horatio's voice filled with concern.
"It's Hailey,a few months ago you worked on my husband's murder case," she whispered.
"Yes, Hailey, I remember..." Horatio recalled," what's wrong? Are you okay?"
" I don't know, I've been kidnapped..." a tear fled down her cheek, " I think..."
"Do you know where you are?" the red- head asked.
"Not really, I'm in a car trunk and my kidnappers are taking me somewhere..."Hailey answered.
"Okay," Horatio sighed," did they hurt you?"
"I was hit in the back of the head, hard," Hailey moaned and rubbed her bloody wound on the back of her head,"oh, my head hurts."
"Okay, don't panic," Horatio comforted," I'll track your call, don't worry."
"Thank you," Hailey began to sob,"please hurry."
"I'm on my way,"Horatio clipped his phone shut.
"You being called out?" Eric called over to Horatio.
"Yeah, Eric," Horatio slid his sunglasses over his beautiful blue eyes," keep me posted."
Horatio rushed out the door and got into his Hummer.
* * *
I shut my phone and quickly shoved it in my bra, making it less noticeable.The car stopped and I heard two car doors open and close.
Before I knew it, two men were pulling me out of the car trunk.
"Please don't hurt me!" I pleaded as they dragged me into a warehouse and strapped me to a chair.
"Shut up," one of the assailants yelled.
"What do you want from me?" I sobbed behind the gag they had put around my head and in my mouth.
"Well, I guess you gotta right to know," the taller assailant toyed with the gun in his hands,"you see, the reason we killed your sweet little husband was because he witnessed a drug deal between me, my pal, here, and some of our other buddies, so we couldn't risk him going off to tell the cops so we took care of him."
"And now, you see, we are going to make sure he didn't tell you so you can go off taddle-telling to the cops," the chubbier man spat out.
"But he never told me anything like that! I promise!" I cried,"Please let me go!"
"Well, it's too late now," the one holding the gun said,"there's only one way to be sure."
The taller assailant aimed the gun to my head and cocked it.

"No! Please!" I begged,"Please don't kill me!"
It was too late, that horrid blasting sound rang through my ears.
I opened my eyes, 'Am I dead?' I asked myself. In front of me the taller assailant with the gun fell to the floor, dropping his weapon. Another shot rang out and the other assailant fell lifelessly to the ground as well.
I looked over to where I thought I heard the shot come from. Horatio lowered his weapon and returned it to its holster. His oceanic eyes met mine, he smiled, and quickly rushed over to me to untie me.
The red-head's gentle hands swept over my bonds gracefully, and helped me stand up. He untied the gag, making sure to be gentle, and dropped it to the ground with the others.
I blinked, trying to keep my hot tears at bay, but failed; the tears rolled down my cheeks consecutively. I ran and embraced Horatio's thin, strong body.
At first I caught Horatio off-guard, but he soon returned the embrace.
"Hailey," he whispered,"are you okay?"
"I don't..." I hesitated, "I'm not sure."
"We'll need to get you to the hospital to make sure," he added.
"All I know is that I feel safer with you," I cried into his chest.
"It's okay," Horatio cooed, " you ARE safe now."
"Please don't leave me," I sobbed.
"I won't," the red-head tightened his grip around me,"I promise, your safe with me."
* * *
At Miami, Dade General Hospital, Horatio sat waiting in the lounge for the doctor to finish checking Hailey over. A graceful blonde flitted to his side and sat down in the chair next to him.
"Horatio," she greeted,"you waiting for Hailey?"
"Yeah," he flicked a smile, but his mind seemed to be wandering elsewhere, "I am..."
"How's she doing?" the blonde smiled trying to get the red-head's attention.
"She's doing fine, Calleigh," he sighed, and kept his eyes dazing out the window,"I guess..."
"Well," Calleigh sighed, failing at getting Horatio's attention,"that's good..."
Horatio didn't answer, he kept his eyes wandering out the window, and a strange smile dancing on his lips.
"Okay," Calleigh ended the awkward silence," I guess I'll go check on Eric."
Calleigh patted Horatio on the shoulder and left his side as gracefully as she had come.

Only Time Will Tell by maui_mandy85

maui_mandy85 — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 01:04:46 CST

Eric has been found and the bullet removed. Now the team holds vigil, with Horatio and Calleigh at the hospital, willing him to wake up. Everyone, except Horatio it seems, was shocked when they were told that any decisions regarding Eric's care were to be made by Calleigh. The question on everyone's minds is "Why Calleigh?" Calleigh is sitting at Eric's bedside, holding his hand and quietly willing him to open his eyes. Alexx walks in to check on her "babies."

Calleigh: (holding Eric's hand between hers, rubbing it absently; whispering) C'mon, Eric. Wake up. Open your eyes for me, please. (barely holding back tears)
Alexx: (walking in; sees Calleigh pleading with an unconscious Eric; goes to her) Calleigh...(no response) Calleigh, baby. (touches Calleigh's shoulder)
Calleigh: (jumps a little, then settles when she realizes it's Alexx) Alexx. I didn't hear you come in.
Alexx: You wouldn't have, the way you were pleading with Eric to wake up. (keeping a hand on Calleigh's shoulder and stroking her hair with the other)
Calleigh: (tearing up) We can't lose him, Alexx. Not like this.
Alexx: (looking beyond the words for the real reason for the tears) Calleigh, honey. (sits next to Calleigh and turns Calleigh's head so she can see her eyes) What's really behind these tears, baby? (wipes the tears away, only to have them replaced by more)
Calleigh: Alexx, I put him here. I shot him!
Alexx: Oh, baby! It was an accident. There's no way you could've known he was the one driving that car.
Calleigh: But...(turning away from Alexx)
Alexx: No buts. (turning Calleigh back to her) Ryan told me what happened.
Calleigh: (crying) If I had only realized it sooner...
Alexx: (semi-sternly) Calleigh, Eric is alive. Now you have to give him a reason to wake up. You need to be strong for him, baby.
Calleigh: Alexx, I...I don't know if I can do what he wants if it comes to that. I can't make that choice.
Alexx: (intrigued, as are the others, as to why Eric put his power of attorney in Calleigh's hands) Why did Eric leave the decision to you instead of his parents?
Calleigh: (slightly dodging the question) He's my best friend. I figured that after Marisol, he didn't want to put that on his parents.
Alexx: (not believing this explanation for a second) Baby, what's the real reason? (talking to Calleigh's back now that she has turned back to face Eric) I know you two as well as if you were my own kids, Calleigh.
Calleigh: (looking at Eric and squeezing his hand; willing him to squeeze back) I love him, Alexx. (tears falling silently) I love him so much.
Alexx: (slightly shocked by the outright response, but not at the response itself) Honey, tell me something I don't know.
Calleigh: (shocked; turning to look at Alexx) You knew? How? I mean, we never...
Alexx: (smiling as Calleigh stumbles over the revelation) Baby, he almost NEVER left your side when you were in here. I almost had to kick him out of the ER when they brought you in.
Calleigh: (remembering waking up with Eric at her side) That was the day he told me...(tearing up) that he couldn't imagine his life without me. (letting the tears fall) I never told him how much that meant to me, Alexx.
Alexx: (squeezing Calleigh's shoulder) Tell him now, Baby Girl. Give him something to fight for. (stroking Calleigh's hair) I'll be outside if you need me. (walks out)
Calleigh: (rubbing Eric's hand between hers; then standing and leaning closer to his head) I love you, Eric. Come back to me...please. (pauses to squeeze his hand) Wake up Eric. Open your eyes for me. (brings his hand to her cheek; squeezes again) I love you.

Unbeknownst to Calleigh, Horatio has joined Alexx outside and has witnessed the entire confession. He, like Alexx, is not at all surprised by it- just by the intensity of it.

Alexx: Horatio...(questioningly, to gauge his response to this revelation)
Horatio: (looking at Alexx, then through the window again to his CSIs) I think I understand now.
Alexx: (smirking at him) I think you always knew. (seriously) Now, what do you do about it, Horatio?
Horatio: (watching Calleigh with Eric) Time will tell, Alexx. Time will tell.

As Calleigh keeps vigil at Eric's side, Ryan and Natalia take over tracking down the stolen arsenal from the armory.

Ryan: (running dash cam footage with Dave in AV) I wish we would get just one plate...just one could lead us to the Russians.
Dave: Well, we've only just started on the dash cams. How many squad cars were at the scene?
Ryan: Four, I think. I'm not sure which ones had good angles, though.
Dave: Well, we'll just go frame by frame then. (pause) Anything on Eric?
Ryan: (quietly) Nothing new. He's still in a coma...Calleigh said she'd let us know as soon as there's a change.
Dave: (shuffling through the photos) She's been at the hospital for hours now.
Ryan: Yeah...uh, H is letting her stay there...she's positive that she hit Eric, and she's feelin' really guilty right now.
Dave: WOW. That's tough...shooting someone you've worked with for so long. (looking at Ryan) They've always been pretty tight, right?
Ryan: (awkward silence, considering his suspicions) Yeah. (pauses; then takes up the controls) Let's find these guys.

Elsewhere in the lab, Natalia is getting a handle on what was in the armory.

Natalia: Oh my God. We had enough weapons in the armory to outfit three small countries!
Frank: Yeah. That's almost every weapon ever taken in to evidence or confiscated since Horatio took over as head of CSI.
Natalia: WOW. That's just...(speechless)
Frank: Insane? Yeah.
Natalia: Do we know what portion of this the Russians got away with?
Frank: Not yet. There's a few uniforms down there checking the "inventory", but it could be awhile. There were only two vans at the armory. (pauses as he scans the list over her shoulder) I'm guessin' that the Russians were only after the weapons we confiscated from Sarnov's organization.
Natalia: Let's hope so. Otherwise, we're gonna have some serious problems.

Back in AV, Ryan and Dave are working on dash cam #3. Yelina, still slightly in shock after her ordeal with Sarnov and Gregor, walks in.

Yelina: Ryan. (stepping up behind Ryan and Dave)
Ryan: (turning; surprised) Detective Salas.
Yelina: (motioning to the photos onscreen) Are those from the armory shooting?
Ryan: Um, yeah. (gets an idea) Maybe you can help us.
Yelina: What do you need?
Ryan: Well, you were undercover in Sarnov's organization, right? (Yelina nods) Do you recognize anyone? Anyone look familiar?
Yelina: (studying a few of the photos) No one up there. Are there more?
Ryan: Yeah...well, if you have the time.
Yelina: (looking at him with a determined expression on her face) Anything I can do to help you catch them before they put those weapons on the street.
Ryan: Great. (pulls a chair up for her) Let's nail these guys.

At Dade Memorial, Alexx and Horatio keep an eye on Calleigh, who has refused to leave Eric's side. They watch as she continues pleading with him to fight.

Alexx: (with a worried expression on her face) Horatio, she's exhausted. It's been almost 12 hours.
Horatio: I know. (rubbing a hand over his tired face) I don't know what to say to her.
Alexx: We have to do something. She's dead on her feet, and she hasn't eaten anything since you brought him in...She won't leave until he opens his eyes, Horatio.
Horatio: Maybe we should get something to eat.
Alexx: (looking at him and seeing the fatigue in his eyes) Why don't I go? You should think about getting some rest yourself.
Horatio: (smiles weakly) I will, Alexx.

Alexx heads off in search of food, and Horatio weighs his options in dealing with his assistant supervisor. Finally coming up with a game plan, he quietly enters the room and pulls up a chair next to Calleigh.

Horatio: (softly) Calleigh. (no response) Calleigh, listen to me. Eric wouldn't want you to neglect yourself. You need to be strong when he wakes up.
Calleigh: (finally looking at Horatio) I can't go until I know he's gonna come out of this. (tears falling silently) This is my fault. I should've trusted him to do the right thing.
Horatio: There was no way for us to know what Eric was going to do. You can't blame yourself for not anticipating every angle...Have you been able to reach the Delkos?
Calleigh: They're out of town. I called Carmen's cell phone and left a message for them to call me as soon as possible. (wiping her eyes) I've left two more messages since he's been out of surgery.
Horatio: Calleigh, I know what Eric means to you.
Calleigh: (looking up at Horatio, shocked) What?!
Horatio: (avoiding eye contact) I've seen the two of you together. There's a connection between you that won't easily be broken. And you both deserve to be happy.
Calleigh: (confused) Horatio, what about department policy? We both know Rick Stetler will have a field day with this if anyone finds out.
Horatio: (looking at her) Is that really your only concern, Calleigh?
Calleigh: No...(quietly) I'm afraid Eric won't trust me after this. I should've been there for him- instead I preached at him! Maybe if I had listened to him, he would've told me what he was going to do.
Horatio: Then we would've lost you both. (putting a hand on her shoulder) Leave Stetler to me. I want you to focus on taking care of yourself so you can be here for Eric. (smiles) I can't think of anyone he'd like here more than you. (standing) Hang in there, Calleigh. (walks out)

Back at the lab, Natalia has a report from the uniforms who checked the armory "inventory".

Frank: (walking in as Natalia starts comparing lists) What've you got?
Natalia: I think you were right, Frank. The Russians were only after Sarnov's weapons. (frowning as she speaks)
Frank: Well, that's good news, isn't it? (confused by her reaction)
Natalia: (looking up at him) Not necessarily. We still don't know where the Russians are. These weapons could be anywhere.
Frank: What's Wolfe working on?
Natalia: Ryan's trying to get some idea as to where they could be hiding. He's down in AV going over dash cam footage with Dave.
Frank: (sarcastically) And that's gonna help us how?
Natalia: Why don't we go check it out?

In AV, Ryan, Dave and Yelina have made headway on the dash cam footage, but are slowly getting discouraged by the lack of clues to the Russians' whereabouts.

Dave: (manning the controls) Okay, this is the last dash cam.
Ryan: (defeated) And we haven't found anything in the first three.
Dave: (trying to be optimisitc) That's not entirely true. (looking over at Ryan, then back up at the screen) We've gotten a couple of partial plates that we can run through the DMV. It's a start. (continues going through the photos)
Yelina: (watching the screen intently; finally spotting a face) Dave, wait a minute. Could you go back to that last frame?
Dave: Sure. (reverses the frame and freezes)
Yelina: I know him.
Ryan: Really?
Yelina: Well, I recognize him from the bar. He's been in there a lot the last few weeks.
Dave: (to Ryan) You wanna run it through facial recognition?
Ryan:Yeah...and I guess we should run those partial plates, too. (to Yelina) That was great. Thanks.
Yelina: Glad I could help. (walks out)
Dave: Okay. I got somethin'. (reading results) Sergei Milanovich...and he's red-flagged by Interpol.
Ryan: Not surprising. (running the partial plates through DMV records) Dave, I think we just got lucky. One of the partial plates is from a black Dodge cargo van, like the ones at the shooting. It's registered to...a Mikhail Milanovich. (Natalia and Frank walk in)
Natalia: Hey Ryan. Did you guys get anything from the dash cams?
Ryan: We just got a couple of leads...thanks to Yelina.
Frank: She was here?
Ryan: Yeah. She just left. So...we've got two possilbe links to Sarnov's organization: Sergei and Mikhail Milanovich.
Frank: Brothers?
Ryan: Cousins, I think.
Natalia: Is there an address?
Dave: 1650 Brickell Avenue, Miami.
Ryan: (to Natalia) What'd you get on the weapons?
Natalia: They were only after the weapons we confiscated from Sarnov.
Ryan: Let's check this place out. (following Natalia and Frank out) Thanks, Dave.

Back at Dade General, Alexx has just returned with food.

Alexx: (walking over to Horatio) So much for getting some rest, huh? (following his gaze)
Horatio: (looking in at Calleigh) She just put her head down. (Calleigh is still holding Eric's hand, even in sleep)
Alexx: (taking his arm) You need to eat. (pulls him to where she's set the food) And then you're going to rest. Doctor's orders.
Horatio: (almost mockingly) Yes, ma'am.
Alexx: (handing him a sandwich and looking up at the woman approaching them) Then again, maybe not.
Horatio: (follows her gaze over his shoulder and nods slightly at the woman) Thank you, Alexx. Excuse me. (meets the woman at the door) Yelina.
Yelina: (concerned after seeing his face) Horatio, are you okay?
Horatio: I'm...I'm fine. How are you?
Yelina: I'm...good. (Horatio gives her "the look") A little rattled...(the look again) Okay...I'm more than a little rattled. (quietly) How's Eric?
Horatio: He's...hanging in there. (looking through the window)
Yelina: (following his gaze, lingering on Calleigh and Eric's joined hands) And Calleigh?
Horatio: She's trying to be strong. (watches as Calleigh squeezes Eric's hand in her sleep)
Yelina: They've found it, haven't they? (Horatio looks at her expectantly) That...connection between two people that links them to each other forever. The connection we never could...
Horatio: Yelina...
Yelina: Why haven't we ever been able to get past this?
Horatio: I...I don't know.
Yelina: Horatio...I'm sorry. This is neither the time nor the place. (looking him in the eye) You'll let me know about Eric?
Horatio: (nodding) Yes...Yelina? (as she turns to leave) Can we talk later?
Yelina: (considers) Sure...You could...come by the house. Ray Jr. would love to see you.
Horatio: Okay. I'll call you. (she nods and leaves)
Alexx: (joining him at the window) What was that about?
Horatio: Umm...unfiinshed business.
Alexx: (looking through the window at Calleigh, who is waking up) I'm gonna try getting her to eat. (going into the room) Calleigh, honey?
Calleigh: Alexx. You're still here.
Alexx: Of course...I brought you something to eat. It's...(interrupted by Calleigh's phone vibrating)
Calleigh: (checking the display) It's Eric's mom. (instantly nervous)
Alexx: (waving Calleigh out of the room) Go on. I'll sit with him until you come back.
Calleigh: But...
Alexx: (seeing Calleigh's nervousness) It'll be fine, honey. They need someone who cares to tel them what's going on. (Calleigh nods and goes out to take the call)
Calleigh: Hello?
Carmen: (questioningly) Ms. Duquesne?
Calleigh: Yes, Mrs. Delko, but please call me Calleigh.
Carmen: Of course...Your message sounded urgent. Is something wrong?
Calleigh: Mrs. Delko, I have some bad news...about Eric.
Carmen: What?! What's wrong? Where is he?
Calleigh: Mrs. Delko...he was involved in a shooting.
Carmen: Oh my God! Is he...?
Calleigh: No, no! Mrs. Delko, he's at Dade General Hospital. His condition is stable, but he's been in a coma since he got out of surgery.
Carmen: Oh dear God!
Calleigh: Mrs. Delko, Lieutenant Caine and I have been here with him since he was brought in. He's in very good hands.
Carmen: Can we see him?
Calleigh: Yes...(Carment cuts her off)
Carmen: We'll be right there...and Calleigh?
Calleigh: Yes, ma'am?
Carmen: Thank you. (hangs up)

Fifteen minutes later, Calleigh has resumed her position at Eric's bedside. Mr. and Mrs. Delko have just arrived from Miami International Airport.

Carmen: (from the doorway to the waiting room, tentatively) Horatio?
Horatio: (turning from his post at the window) Carmen...Pavel.
Pavel: What happened, Horatio?
Horatio: He was involved in a shooting. (Alexx joins them) This is Dr. Alexx Woods. I'll let her explain.
Alexx: The trauma shifted the bullet fragment in his head and he suffered another superficial bullet wound. They've already taken care of the bullet fragment...He just needs to wake up on his own.
Pavel: What about brain damage? (Carmen moves to the window)
Alexx: The preliminary scans show no significant damage or trauma, but we won't be sure until he wakes up and another scan can be done.
Pavel: Thank you, Doctor.
Carmen: Can I sit with him? (Her back to them)
Alexx: Certainly. (Carmen opens the door and listens as Calleigh talks to Eric)
Calleigh: Your parents are on their way. I finally got in touch with them...They're worried about you. (takes his hand) Wake up, Eric. I need you to wake up.
Carmen: (quietly) You must be Calleigh.
Calleigh: (startled) Mrs. Delko! I didn't hear you come in. I'll...I'll step outside so you can have some time with...(standing)
Carmen: There's no need for that. (waving Calleigh back into her chair) Please, sit.
Calleigh: Oh. Um...okay. (fidgeting through the awkward silence)
Carmen: (stroking Eric's head) I didn't quite put together your name and the woman that Eric talks about.
Calleigh: He talks about me?
Carmen: All the time. 'Calleigh found this', 'Calleigh helped me with that...'. You've been such a good friend to my son. (finally turning to look at Calleigh) But it's more than that now, isn't it? (no response) I've never seen him so...dedicated to something, to someone, except for his sisters.
Calleigh: I...I didn't know that. I...I don't know what to say.
Carmen: You are very special to him, Calleigh.
Calleigh: (quietly) He's...very special to me too, Mrs. Delko.
Carmen: Carmen, please. (studying Calleigh's face) Have you rested at all since he's been here?
Calleigh: I'm fine, really. I slept for a bit earlier...(Carmen clearly doesn't believe her) I'll be fine.

Ryan, Natalia and Frank, with six uniformed officers, approach the suspected house on Brickell Avenue, and find a black van parked in the back alley.

Frank: (checking the plates on the van) This is one of the vans from the shooting. (waves over two of the uniforms)
Natalia: So we're in the right place.
Frank: I hope so. (to the uniforms) On three...(counts on his fingers, then the uniforms pull open the doors and reveal several boxes of weapons) We're definitely in the right place.
Ryan: (heading up the back steps; to two uniforms) Cover the front. (they get into position) Miami Dade PD! Open up!

Noises are heard inside the house. Through the window, Ryan sees two suspects attempting to flee. He kicks the door in as the first suspect reaches the front door. The uniforms in front grab the suspect as Ryan takes down the second and cuffs him.

Ryan: You're under arrest...(finishes the Miranda; to Frank) Let's haul 'em in, Frank.
Frank: You got it. (following the two suspects and three uniforms outside)
Natalia: (holstering her gun) Ryan, let's check out the rest of this place...See if we can't get some idea where they would put the rest of the arsenal.
Ryan: I'll go call in for the tow truck to pick up the van, and bring in the kits.

Back at the lab after a thorough inspection of the house, Ryan and Frank double team Suspect #1, identified as Mikhail Milanovich, while Natalia starts analysis on some "out of place" evidence found in the house. Suspect #2, identified as Nikolai Petrov, is being held in a separate interview room.

Ryan: So Mikhail, where's Sergei hiding?
Mikhail: (thickly accented) Don't know. No tell nothing.
Frank: You really expect us to believe that, cowboy? If that were true, why'd you try to run?
Mikhail: Scared. You catch, they kill.
Ryan: Wait a minute- they're gonna kill you because we arrested you?
Mikhail: Like Ivan...Dead.
Ryan: So help us catch them so we can put them away where they can't hurt you.
Mikhail: Don't know...location. Cannot tell.
Frank: Can't tell or won't tell?
Mikhail: Know nothing. I swear! (panicked)
Ryan: Okay. Okay. (passing a pad and pen to Mikhail) I want names. Anyone you've had contact with, anyone involved in the armory shooting or with moving the weapons. (walks out)
Frank: (to Mikhail) Let's go- start writin'.
Ryan: (in Interview #2, to Nikolai) Nikolai. Where's Sergei? (no response) What'd they promise you? Money, status in the Brotherhood? What?!
Nikolai: (thick Russian accent) Does it matter? I am dead either way.
Ryan: (sarcastically) Oh, that's right. The death gag order- you got caught, so now you die.
Nikolai: All I control now is how I die...by what means.
Ryan: So why not give us something on them? Tell us where they're hiding.
Nikolai: What purpose would that serve for me? There is already a target on my head. Nothing I tell you will change that. (Natalia waves to get Ryan's attention)
Ryan: Now I guess you won't find out. (stands up and walks out, as an officer takes Nikolai to booking)
Natalia: I've got another location. The muddy footprints in the house...
Ryan: Where?
Natalia: Port of Miami. I'm thinking they aren't stupid enough to use Sarnov's storage unit, but they'll be close by. (walking with him to the elevator)
Ryan: We're close, Natalia. I'll call Horatio.

At the hospital, Horatio, Pavel and Alexx continue waiting for any signs of improvement. Carmen now sits watching over Eric and Calleigh, who she has finally convinced to sleep on the cot that was brought in- with the promise to awaken her at the slightest change in Eric.

Alexx: Horatio, has there been any news from Ryan?
Horatio: Not yet, Alexx. (phone rings) Hang on. (answering) Mr. Wolfe?
Ryan: H, we picked up two of the Russians and maybe a third of the weapons stolen from the armory. We just got a lead on the rest.
Horatio: Where?
Ryan: Port of Miami...
Horatio: I'll meet you there. (hangs up) We may have something.
Pavel: You've found the scum that's responsible for my son being here?
Horatio: I don't know for sure yet, Pavel. But I'm going to find out. (heading out)
Alexx: (calling after him) Horatio, be careful.

Meanwhile, in Eric's room:

Calleigh: (as Carmen finishes humming a Spanish lullaby) That's beautiful.
Carmen: (startled) Oh my- I didn't mean to wake you.
Calleigh: It's a side effect of being in law enforcement- I'm a light sleeper. (sitting up) I've never heard that tune before. What is it?
Carmen: It's a lullaby I used to sing to Eric and his sisters when they were babies. I doubt he'd remember it now. I...(stops as Eric's hand tightens over hers, then releases) Eric?
Calleigh: (standing to join Carmen at Eric's side) Carmen?
Carmen: He squeezed my hand. Eric? Squeeze my hand again, mi hijo...(Eric squeezes again, stronger this time; Callleigh sees it)
Calleigh: (at the door) Alexx! Quick!
Pavel: What is it?
Calleigh: I think he's pulling out of it! He squeezed Carmen's hand!
Alexx: (at Eric's other side) Calleigh, baby, get one of the nurses to page Dr. Jacobs. (Calleigh goes; leaning over Eric) Eric, honey? It's Alexx. Can you hear me?
Pavel: Carmen, let's give the doctor some space. (gently pulling Carmen out to the waiting room as Dr. Jacobs and a couple of nurses rush in)
Carmen: Where is Horatio, Pavel? (sitting next to him as Calleigh enters the room)
Pavel: He went to meet the team that's looking for the people that put our boy here. He'll let us know when they find anything.

As Calleigh and the Delkos wait for the doctors to finish checking on Eric, Horatio pulls up next to the group of police vehicles at the Port of Miami. Ryan approaches to brief him on the current situation.

Ryan: H!
Horatio: Mr. Wolfe...
Ryan: We've narrowed down the possibilities to the last five units at the end. They're close enough to Sarnov's own storage unit without being obvious and they're the only ones with recent leases. (quietly) Any change?
Horatio: (hesitantly) Not when I left...Okay, how many officers do we have to work with? (Frank and Natalia walk over)
Ryan: I was able to scramble about 15 off-duty patrol for the searches.
Frank: We've got another 20 combined on-duty and ATF. I called in a favor.
Horatio: Okay. Wolfe, take six and check out the closest unit. Frank, you and Ms. Boa Vista take five and check the one next to that. Put two groups of seven on the other two units, with someone from ATF on point for each team. I'll take the last group and check the one nearest to Sarnov's. And everyone...be careful. (Ryan's team enters a unit)
Natalia: You too, Horatio. (moves to join Frank)
Ryan: (on the walkie) Unit #1, clear.
Horatio: (heading to the last unit, on the walkie) Join up with the ATF teams.
Ryan: On it, H. (the teams keep searching; after radio silence for ten minutes)
ATF #1: Storage Unit #3, clear. This one's got small moving boxes.
ATF#2: Unit #4, clear.
Frank: Horatio, Unit #2 is empty. We're headed your way.
Horatio: Okay. (to his team) On three. (counting down; motioning to move in)

The unit in front of Horatio's team is by far the largest of the suspected units, almost the size of a full warehouse. At his signal, and after a scan for trip wires, etc., two patrolmen move in the push up the door. Inside, mixed with large shipping crates, are the weapons crates. Off to one side, in plain sight, not one but two black cargo vans are parked with doors wide open. Then chaos erupts as two men appear from the back of the unit.

Patrolman Diego: Miami Dade PD! (shots fired, bringing out a dozen other gun-toting men)
Horatio: Take cover! (ducking to dodge bullets)
Ryan: (appearing at his side with Frank and Natalia not far behind) Sergei Milanovich's gotta be in there! (searching quickly, then finding his quarry, points) There! That's who we want!
Horatio: Let's take'm!

The collective team surges into the warehouse and after some very intense exchange, the Brotherhood members are brought out in cuffs and taken to MDPD. Half of the search team stays to collect the stolen weapons and take everything back to be logged. At the lab, Natalia cross checks everything recovered with the original missing inventory list.

Horatio: (walking in as Natalia finishes with a crate) How are we doing?
Natalia: So far, everything is checking out.
Horatio: Have we been able to find any prints on the weapons or the crates?
Natalia: I haven't found anything yet. Is there something in particular...? (stops as Horatio's phone rings and he checks the ID)
Horatio: No...just let me know if you find anything, okay? (turning to walk out and answering the phone) Calleigh? (indistinct chatter on the other end) I'll be right there. (hanging up)
Natalia: Horatio?
Horatio: (deep breath) He's awake.
Natalia: (sigh of relief) Oh, thank God!...I'll get any information to you as soon as I get it, Horatio.
Horatio: Thank you.

In interview, Ryan and Frank double team Sergei to get the name of whoever is taking over as head of Sarnov's organization and the Brotherhood.

Ryan: Who takes over now that Sarnov and Gregor are dead? Who gains from taking on the operations?
Sergei: Glupi Tolchok! (Stupid Jerk!) Why should I tell you anything?
Frank: You will if ya know what's good for ya! Or would you rather take the rap for someone else's screw ups?
Sergei: You have nothing on me!
Ryan: (showing him a file folder) We may not have anything...but Interpol's got a lot a of bones to pick with you. They can't wait to get their hands on you. (phone rings in his pocket; text message notification)
Sergei: (unconcerned) What can they do to me? (smirking)
Ryan: (reading his message) I guess you'll find out. (to Frank) Toss him in holding until his ride gets here.
Frank: You got it. (Ryan walks out) Let's go scumbag. (pulls Sergei up roughly)
Sergei: Slaboumni Durak! (Stupid Idiot!)
Ryan: (on the phone) Natalia, you're sure?
Natalia: Yeah. I got tons of prints, but none of them are Sharova's He was there, but he didn't touch anything. His story holds up.
Ryan: That's great news. Thanks.
Natalia: Hey, Ryan...Horatio left about ten minutes ago. Calleigh called.
Ryan: What's the news?
Natalia: Eric's awake.
Ryan: That's great! Hey, I'll be there in a minuted to help you with the rest of the evidence. (hangs up with a smile on his face)

At the hospital, the crowd in the waiting room grows. Pavel, Carmen and Calleigh have been joined by Alexx and Horatio. Yelina walks in and takes a seat next to Horatio just as Dr. Jacobs enters the room.

Dr. Jacobs: (smiling) Well, he's certainly got quite the support group!
Pavel: How is he, Doctor?
Dr. Jacobs: Well, Mr. Delko...The results aren't definite yet, but as far as I can tell, there's no permanent damage. He's still a little groggy, and he may tire easily, but I believe he'll make a complete recovery.
Carmen: Oh thank you! (everyone heaves a collective sigh of relief) Can we see him?
Dr. Jacobs: (nodding) They're bringing him back up from CT now.
Pavel: Thank you, Doctor.
Dr. Jacobs: You're welcome. If you'll excuse me... (walks out)

As they wait for Eric, Carmen takes Calleigh's hand and squeezes reassuringly. Calleigh smiles slightly, then sinks back into quiet thoughtfulness. Alexx gets paged and leaves, and Yelina hesitantly takes Horatio's hand in hers. Eric is finally wheeled back into his room and settled before the transporters leave. Pavel and Carmen are the first to go in.

Pavel: (approaching the bed) Son?
Eric: Dad. (regretfully) I'm so sorry!
Carmen: Sorry for what, mi hijo? (taking his hand)
Eric: Mommy...for putting you through this.
Pavel: It's all right, son. We're just happy that you're okay.
Carmen: Horatio is outside. Dr. Woods was here, too.
Eric: What about...Is Calleigh...?
Carmen: She's outside, too. (squeezing his hand) She's been here the whole time.
Pavel: That young woman...She wouldn't leave your side, son.
Eric: I...(stumbling over how to ask them to leave so he can talk to Calleigh)
Carmen: (smiling) I'll go get her. (kissing his hand, then going to the door) Calleigh? (Calleigh lifts her head and looks at Carmen) He wants to see you. (Calleigh doesn't move, so Carmen walks over and offers a hand) Mi hija, he's asking for you. (Calleigh hesitates, then takes Carmen's hand and allows Carmen to lead her into the room)
Yelina: (quietly watching Calleigh; to Horatio) They're gonna make it. (smiling) They deserve it.
Horatio: (nodding) Yes...they do.

In the room, Carmen leads Calleigh to Eric's left side, where she'd kept vigil while he was unconscious.

Pavel: (looking at Carmen) We'll give you some privacy, son. (taking Carmen's hand and leading her outside)
Calleigh: (quietly) I'm glad you're okay. (not meeting his eyes)
Eric: Calleigh...look at me, please. (pleadingly)
Calleigh: (looking into his eyes) You had us all scared there, you know.
Eric: I'm sorry...for everything.
Calleigh: It's fine...as long as you're okay.
Eric: I'm okay, but that's because I heard you. (Calleigh looks up in shock) I heard everything you said. You kept me going. I couldn't...I couldn't let you down again.
Calleigh: You didn't let me down.
Eric: I think I did...because I didn't trust you to understand. I didn't think you'd understand what I was trying to do. Maybe...things could be different if I'd found another way.
Calleigh: (confused) What are ya talkin' about?
Eric: When you found my father's picture...yousaid you wouldn't watch me...watch me cross the line. (hesitantly) I crossed it.
Calleigh: You didn't cross the line, Eric.
Eric: But...I helped Sharova...
Calleigh: Sharova told Horatio that you were there to keep him from committing a crime. You were trying to do the right thing.
Eric: But...
Calleigh: (taking his hand and stroking his cheek) I'm not going anywhere. I meant what I said. (looking into his eyes) I love you, Eric.
Eric: (entwining his fingers with hers, then grinning and pulling her closer) Well, that's a relief...because I love you, too, Cal.

THE END

What is your favorite episode?

glasses — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 22:13:52 CST

My favorite episode is any episode where Horatio gives an honest to goodness smile. He smiles so seldom that seeing one is like a ray of sunshine.

What's yours?

The one with Hurrican Anthoney & some others.

A Married Couple's Worries

alischmitz — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:26:01 CST

This is a fanfiction about Calleigh and Eric, and their family. What happens when Eric comes home to the family after a week long confrence out of town and they aren't there? Where are the kids, and where is his wife? Read on to find out. Ya know actually I think I'm getting off topic with the whole nightmare and past thing. So I guess this whole thing will be a surprise the whole time.

Chapter 1. Leaving

"A week Eric, a week?" Calleigh asked quietly; careful not to wake Marisol or Cameron.

"Cal I have to go to the meeting, I'll only be gone for a week, and I'll call you every night, I promise." Eric reasured her and hugged her tightly.

"Eric I don't know if I can handle a week without you. Eric. I can't, I can't handle this place alone. The kids are a lot of work, and I'm pregnant and, work, and." She laid her head against his chest.

"Sh, baby. I know it's going to be hard. I'll have H stay with you, or you can go to Alexx's. And you are strong quarida, I know you can take care of 3 kids." Eric kissed her.

"Eric..STOP, I don't think I can. I don't know if you've realised but I'm pregnant and hormonal. And I can't handle 3 children, and a lab all alone." She reaised her voice mare than intended. And as soon as she stopped, a baby's cries were heard.

"Great." Calleigh murmered and walked out of the bedroom.

"CAL." Eric called after her.

"Shh Mari, baby Mamma can't keep doing this. Sweetie you have to go easy on me okay." Calleigh said with tears in her eyes, and she choked out the words. The one year old only looked at her with confussion.

"Yeah I know you don't understand me sweetie. Ya know sometimes Mommy doesn't even understand herself; or Daddy. I don't understand why Daddy would want to leave, or go to that stupid meeting. Leave us here all alone for a week. Leave Mommy with 3 kids and a lab to tend to all by herself." Calleigh choked up again. Though she didn't know, Eric was right behind her listening to every word.

He walked away without saying a word, and slipped back into bed. Not the bedroom but instead the couch; he felt Calleigh would like to sleep alone tonight.

**************************************************************************

Eric awoke to the sound of his son crying; Cameron was awake.

"Hey little man, how come Momma didn't come a get you?" Eric just realised how mean that sounded. These are his kids too, he has the same amount of responsability to them as she does.

He peered into his bedroom, and saw his wife sleeping, clinging to his pillow with tears streaked down her cheeks.

He saw her moving slightly, no wait not moving....tossing. She was having another nightmare. They hadn't exactly figured out why these nightmares had started, the docter thought that maybe they were related to her pregnancy. But Calleigh, she knew better. Now she never told Eric about what happened to her back in Darnell, and she didn't plan to. Not just yet anyway.

"Cal, Cal; sweetie I need you to wake up for me. Cal?" Nothing, no response.

"Calleigh, please sweetheart; wake up! Cal; please baby, please." Eric shook her alittle bit; that woke her up.

"ERIC! oh god what happened?" Calleigh had sweat on her forhead.

"Hey shh, shh sweetie it's alright. I'm here. You had another nightmare. Calleigh please sweetie tell me why you're having these, what are they about?" Eric pleeded.

"Eric I can't, I just can't." Calleigh burst into tears at that moment and clung to his shirt.

"Hey baby shh I've got you, you're safe. Now tell me what they're about." Eric in return hugged her tight, like he'd never let go.

She took a deep breath and swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Back in Darnell, about a year before I left. It was late one night and I decided to take the back way home. Stupidest move I've ever made, ever." At this time she choked up and almost completely lost it, but she had to tell him; so she continued. "A couple of guys were back there, and..... and I uhm...they grabbed me, and the one threw me against the wall, while the other..he uhm..he rapped me, Eric." Calleigh lost it, she just broke down.

Eric was speechless, he didn't know what to say. Yeah he had worked with rape victims before. But Calleigh, she was NOT a victim, nor will she ever be a victim. How could someone do this to Calleigh, his Calleigh; the love of his life, the mother of his kids? So he just held her tightly, kissed her forehead, and put his hands around her stomach; around the baby; and they stayed like that for about half an hour to 45 minutes.

Quoted Dialogue of Eric and Calleigh- Season 8

maui_mandy85 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:00:00 CST

8.01 "Out of Time"
Alexx: (taking Calleigh's hands and sitting next to her) "Listen. He's young and he's strong." (nods and squeezes Calleigh's hands)
Calleigh: (tearing up and starting to cry; pulls it together and puts on a brave face) "Is he gonna be okay?" (continues to smile slightly until Alexx doesn't answer; cries as Alexx pulls her into a motherly hug)

Calleigh: (flashback) "Hey. You must be the tow truck driver."
Eric: (smirking) "I prefer automotive recovery expert."
Calleigh: (smiling) "Detective Caine asked me to come over and get the vehicle, so..."
Eric: "It's all yours. You can take it. I just have one question." (smirks) "You wanna give me your phone number now, or later?"
Calleigh: (pause; laughs) "Does that work?"
Eric: (laughs) "It works all the time...Well, most of the time." (pause) "Actually, it's never worked, but I'm gonna keep trying."
Calleigh: (smiles) "Well, I wouldn't bother with me, seriously, because I wouldn't even socialize with anyone remotely related to my job."
Eric: (putting on his shirt) "Okay. We'll see."
Calleigh: "Well, thanks a lot, Mr...?"
Eric: "Delko. Yeah, but you can call me Eric." (smirks)

8.02 "Hostile Takeover"
Natalia: (walking to the lab) "Hey Calleigh."
Calleigh: "Hey." (locking her car)
Natalia: (walking with Calleigh) "I sure am surprised to see you here. I thought you'd be takin' a personal day."
Calleigh: "Why's that?"
Natalia: (confused) "Well, didn't Eric get out of the hospital yesterday?"
Calleigh: (avoiding eye contact) "Yeah, he did. The department lawyers have advised that he and I not have any contact until the investigation into the armory shooting is closed."
Natalia: "Well, you at least got a chance to tell him that you didnt' try to shoot him on purpose though, right?"
Calleigh: (matter-of-fact) "But I did shoot at him. He was a suspect fleeing an active crime scene." (Natalia stares at Calleigh, speechless)

8.03 "Bolt Action"
Calleigh: (walking into the locker room) "Hey."
Ryan: "Hey."
Calleigh: "I hear we have a little mother/daughter love triangle goin' on."
Ryan: "Yeah. Apparently, the electricity isn't the only shocking thing about this case."
Calleigh: "You think the daughter did it?"
Ryan: "Ah, she's got motive. Nobody can back up her alibi. What about you? You guys find anything?" (Calleigh doesn't respond, but smiles slightly as Eric walks in; to Eric) "Hey! What's up man? How ya doin'?"
Eric: (shakes hands) "I'm good. Yeah, I'm good."
Ryan: "How're the headaches?"
Eric: "They come and they go, but...the meds help." (looks at Calleigh but says nothing)
Ryan: "Cool. Cool. Well, when are you comin' back to work?"
Eric: "I don't know. I"m on administrative leave until the investigation's over." (walks over to his locker by Calleigh) "Excuse me."
Calleigh: (stepping aside; quietly) "Yeah. Sure."
Eric: (closing locker and heading out) "All right. Later, Wolfe."
Ryan: "Later, man. Good to see you." (pause; to Calleigh) "What's with the big freeze?"
Calleigh: (quietly) "We're not allowed to talk . No contact until the investigation is closed."
Ryan: "And when is that?"
Calleigh: (trying to smile and failing) "Well, the interviews are today, so hopefully the nightmare'll be over, and Eric can come back to work."
Ryan: (pause; quietly) "Or you could both lose your jobs."
Calleigh: (pause) "That's not very positive." (walks out)

Calleigh: (in Interview) "The vehicle was leaving an armed robbery. It was advancing toward me rapidly. In order to protect myself and others, I took my only available option and fired."
Stetler: "And inside that vehicle were CSI Delko and Alexander Sharova, correct?"
Calleigh: "CSI Delko was attempting to do the right thing and help his father. It's the only logical explanation."
Stetler: "But on that day, he didn't alert anyone in the department, including you, to his plans."
Eric: "My plan was to accompany Alexander Sharova, my father, when he turned himself in."
Stetler: "Okay, so why did your vehicle end up in the Everglades?"
Eric: "I don't know. Doctors say that the bullet fragment in my brain shifted, causing memory loss."
Stetler: "That occurred after CSI Duquesne fired at you."
Eric: "Apparently, yeah. But she didn't hit me. The fragment was from an old injury."
Stetler: "Okay. As a police officer, Ms. Duquesne is trained to react to a perceived threat. Your vehicle must've appeared to have been a threat."
Eric: "Yeah, it must have. I trust CSI Duquesne's judgment. If she fired at the car, she didn't know that it was me."
Stetler: "Okay. So how fast would you say your vehicle was going?"
Eric: (estimating) "40, 45..."
Calleigh: "Approximately 50, 55 miles an hour. It was accelerating towards me, so I took the shot."
Stetler: "At CSI Delko, who was fleeing a crime scene with a known felon?"
Calleigh: "He appeared to be fleeing the crime scene at the time but, uh, I know now he was not."
Stetler: "You were instructed not to speak to CSI Delko."
Calleigh: "I have not spoken to him. But I know what kind of a person Eric Delko is."
Stetler: "So you maintain that you were not involved in any criminal wrongdoing or violation of agency policy whatsoever?"
Eric: "No, I wasn't engaged in any criminal activity."
Stetler: "Okay. Why would your partner, and girlfriend's, first instinct be you were aiding and abetting a felon?" (Eric smirks when Stetler says girlfriend)
Eric: "I don't know where you're gettin' your information from, Stetler." (pause) "My former partner, maybe she has some trust issues..."
Stetler: "According to your former boyfriend, you have a hard time depending on certain men in your life. Would you say that's true?"
Calleigh: (keeping a straight face) "Former boyfriend?"
Stetler: "That's how he put it."

Jesse: (to Calleigh in the lab) "IA interview didn't go well, hmm?" (Calleigh shakes her head) "Did their decision on Delko come down?"
Calleigh: (tries for a smile; fails) "I haven't heard."
Jesse: "You ever noticed that those IA guys all look alike? They've all got that square jaw. It's so weird." (gets Calleigh to smile)

Calleigh: (outside the lab; both reach for the door at the same time; laughs) "Sorry. After you."
Eric: (grins) "No. You go first."
Calleigh: (smiling up at him) "We're allowed to talk again."
Eric: (grins and nods) "Yeah. Without Stetler in the middle." (Calleigh nods; seriously) "I think he twisted a few things up."
Calleigh: "Yeah. I do, too."
Eric: "IA, uh, recommended that the state attorney's office not take the case any further."
Calleigh: (happily) "You're kidding, they're dropping it? How'd you find that out before the final report?"
Eric: (grinning) "You're gonna laugh- Twitter."
Calleigh: "Unbelievable." (smiling) "So we're workin' together again."
Eric: "Yep. I have a series of medical clearances to get first, but it looks that way, despite the fact that you...shot at me." (smirking)
Calleigh: "Well, you drove a car at me." (mock serious)
Eric: "I didn't aim a gun at you."
Calleigh: "You drove a car at me." (staring each other down; then laughing)
Eric: "Okay. Truce?"
Calleigh: "Truce..." (smiling)
Eric: "I'll see you at work?"
Calleigh: (happy) "See you at work." (glancing back at him and smiling)

8.05 "Bad Seed"
Alexx: (hugging him) "Eric! I hope you're here to take me to breakfast."
Eric: "Actually, I just got done seeing Dr. Jacobs."
Alexx: (questioningly) "So?"
Eric: (smiles) "I'm good. I'm great even. No residual brain damage from the surgery, and I start back to work immediately."
Alexx: (smiling) "That's so wonderful, honey. I'm so happy for you." (studies his face) "So why aren't you?"
Eric: "No, I'm good. I'm happy."
Alexx: "How long have we known each other, Eric?"
Eric: (grins) "What, 8, 9 years?"
Alexx: "Hmm. Long enough for you to know better than to lie to me."
Eric: (smiles; then seriously) "Look, you ever regret leaving PD?" (interrupted as an emergency comes in)

Eric: (at the lab) "Why would the suspect poison his girlfriend and then himself?"
Ryan: "Well, he wouldn't unless he pulled a Romeo and Juliet."
Natalia: "Yeah, but he was just getting ready to propose to her."
Eric: "Exactly. And the last thing they did before Lauren got sick was go out to eat. So I ran a food-borne illness tox. This is what I got." (puts the test plate on the table and shines the UV light on it)
Calleigh: (looking at the result) "Lauren tested positive for E-Coli."
Natalia: (confused) "Okay, so then she wasn't poisoned?"
Horatio: "E-Coli is poison."
Eric: "We checked with Alexx. She confirmed it. Based on how quickly this killed Lauren and put her boyfriend Ethan on life support, Alexx believes this is a new and very deadly strain."
Horatio: "And Alexx is concerned that the health agencies are moving too slow."
Calleigh: "Well, I can understand why. By the time they finish their studies, her ER is gonna be a morgue."
Horatio: "So we must find the source before another outbreak occurs."
Ryan: "Look, I don't wanna be that guy, but is this anywhere in the corner of our jurisdiction?"
Horatio: "We must investigate every death."
Eric: "E-Coli doesn't just appear. Someone allowed this to happen. Someone allowed her to die- that's negligent homicide."
Horatio: "E-Coli can only be ingested, so the first step is to find where the infected food came from." (to Natalia) "Ms. Boa Vista, we need a DNA fingerprint to track the strain."
Natalia: (standing) "I'll go pull in Valera."
Ryan: "I'll grab Walter and Jesse. We'll, uh, read up on E-Coli."
Calleigh: (looking at Eric) "Then Eric and I will go to the restaurant where they ate."
Horatio: "Now listen. We treat this as we would any other murder, okay?"
Calleigh: "Right." (Horatio walks out; to Eric with a smile) "Welcome back."
Eric: (hesitantly) "Thanks."
Calleigh: "So, how do you wanna find the restaurant?"
Eric: "I've got an idea."

Calleigh: (sitting next to him) "I haven't gotten a chance to tell you, but I was so happy you're okay." (quietly; with a smile) "I'm really glad you're back."
Eric: "I wish I felt the same." (looks up as she turns to look at him) "I watched that girl die in front of me, and now the same thing's happening to Ethan."
Alexx: (walking quickly toward them) "Eric! It's not E-Coli. Ethan doesn't have an E-Coli infection."
Calleigh: (confused) "What do you mean?"
Alexx: "We didn't find any of the bacteria in his blood. At first I thought his symptoms were the same as Lauren's, but they aren't. His heart stopped beating because he's in total paralysis. The only thing keeping him alive is the respirator."
Eric: "What do you think is causing this?"
Alexx: "I don't know. That's why I brought tissue biopsies and blood. Our lab is too slow."
Calleigh: "I'll have Walter run a tox screen." (holds out her hands for the samples)
Alexx: (as Calleigh starts off to find Walter) "Thank you, Calleigh."

Calleigh: (in the locker room; on opposite sides of a wall of lockers) "Eric?"
Eric: (surprised that she's there) "Hey Calleigh. What are you still doing here?"
Calleigh: "I just needed to catch up on some of my cases." (pause; deep breath) "So I figured out what you're doing."
Eric: "I can't wait to hear where this is going."
Calleigh: (sadly) "You're leaving CSI, aren't you?"
Eric: (slight smile; walks around the lockers to face her and puts down his bag) "You always were good at reading me." (Calleigh smiles a little with tears in her eyes) "Look, um, let's not tell anybody else, for now. 'Cause I don't feel like answering lots of questions."
Calleigh: (shaking her head; tearing up) "I wouldn't." (voice cracks) "So why are you goin'?"
Eric: (hesitantly) "A lot of reasons."
Calleigh: (trying to laugh) "Life's too short?"
Eric: (smiling) "Yeah, basically."
Calleigh: (smiling hesitantly) "And what about you and me?" (Eric looks at her intently and smiles, but doesn't answer verbally) "I guess CSI's not the only game in town."
Eric: "Like I said." (grins) "You know me too well." (steps towards her and kisses her briefly then hugs her; she holds on a little longer with tears in her eyes then steps back. Eric cups her face in his hand then turns and walks out. Calleigh watches him leave as the tears come closer to falling. Eric gets to his car and finds a note from Horatio on his windshield- "I'll always be here. H"- and grins)

8.11 "Delko for the Defense"
Calleigh: (smiling as Eric approaches) "There's our expert witness." (Eric grins)
Eric: "I'm sure you've heard: Tripp thinks I went over to the dark side."
Calleigh: "What do you think?"
Eric: "I didn't go looking for the job. Vilanni got my name off a list of former CSIs."
Calleigh: "But you said yes."
Eric: "Yeah. It seemed like a good chance to help people."
Calleigh: "Provided they're innocent."
Eric: "Vilanni's been right about her clients eighty percent of the time."
Calleigh: "But in this case, the suspect ran from the house covered in blood, he spent the night in the victim's bed and claims he never heard a thing. Do you honestly think he's innocent?"
Eric: "I think that we're both after the same thing- the truth." (grinning) "But I'm only here to observe. That's it." (grins more as Calleigh comes over to him and grabs her kit)
Calleigh: "Excuse me." (smiling at him over her shoulder as he starts videotaping the scene)

Calleigh: (walking to the morgue with Eric) "That explains why Zack didn't want his blood drawn."
Eric: "And why he drew me a bird's eye view of the murder."
Calleigh: "He didn't want the whole world to know his condition."
Eric: "Poor guy. The whole thing's gonna be on the six o'clock news now."
Calleigh: "Yeah." (stopping outside the morgue; turning to face him and smiling) "All right. That's it. No more observing now that your client is in the clear."
Eric: (grinning) "Right. Okay. Take care." (turns to walk away)
Calleigh: "What are you gonna do- go back to Puerto Rico?"
Eric: (turning back) "You know...I love it there but, um, I missed Miami." (looking at her intently)
Calleigh: (returning his intense gaze) "Miami missed you."
Eric: "Vilanni offered me a contract, but um...if her next client's guilty, I don't think I could live with that."
Calleigh: (thoughtfully) "Yeah. You know, I heard the state attorney's office is looking for a forensic expert."
Eric: "Talbot? All right. Good to know...I'll think about it."
Calleigh: (smiling) "See ya." (goes into the morgue)

Quoted Dialogue of Eric and Calleigh- Season 7

maui_mandy85 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 15:54:29 CST

7.03 "And How Does That Make You Kill?"
Calleigh: (to Eric as he comes up the steps) "This is the door our killer came through. It's been jimmied open, but there're no prints." (pause as Eric sees Dr. Marsh walking out) "You know her?"
Eric: (hesitant) "She's my therapist."
Calleigh: "I thought you were seeing someone in the department."
Eric: "I switched doctors after we found out that the other office was bugged. Dr. Marsh is contracted with the county."
Calleigh: "So she sees ex-cons and probationers? Broadens our suspect pool."
Eric: "Yeah. It could've been any one of her clients. They all know about the private entrance."
Calleigh: "So sad- Tripp said she lost her husband last year, too."
Eric: "I had no idea."
Calleigh: "Now she only has a son left."
Eric: (scoffs at himself in disgust) "You know, I didn't even know she had children? It's amazing that she knows so much about me and I didn't know anything about her."
Calleigh: (concerned) "Are you gonna be okay going in there?"
Eric: "Yeah, I've been in there dozens of times."
Calleigh: "Not like this."
Eric: (walking past her) "It's time to give something back."

Calleigh: "Eric, I'm so sorry about Dr. Marsh." (looks at what he's reading) "Are those her files? 'Cuz I thought I put 'em in lockup."
Eric: "These are the key to finding Dr. Marsh's killer."
Calleigh: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but patient-doctor confidentially remains intact after her death unless there's a court order."
Eric: "That could take days. In the meantime, her killer's still out there and we don't know who he's gonna kill next."
Calleigh: (quietly) "But none of this evidence will be admissible."
Eric: (frustrated) "That's fine. Maybe it can lead to something we can use as evidence." (pause; looks at her) "Listen. My secrets are in here, too. I'm okay with this."
Calleigh: (studies his face) "Okay." (pulls up a chair)

Calleigh: (Calleigh reads the notes of Eric's psych session; Eric's voice) "After I got shot, it really put things in perspective. Made me think about my future, settling down. Be nice if it were Calleigh." (Calleigh pauses)
Eric: (inquisitively) "Find something?"
Calleigh: (pauses) "Uh, no. I think this is a bust."

Calleigh: (outside of the lab) "It was a rough day."
Eric: (slowly) "Listen, I'm sorry if I forced you to compromise your ethics."
Calleigh: (smiles slowly) "No, you didn't force me into anything. Besides, I think the end result was worth it."
Eric: (nods) "Yeah. Dr. Marsh was a good lady."
Calleigh: (tentatively) "You know that you can talk to me about anything, don't you?"
Eric: "Of course." (Calleigh nods) "When we were going through the files, did you happen to read mine?"
Calleigh: (hesitantly) "Would it matter if I did?"
Eric: "It just wasn't in my batch, so I figured..."
Calleigh: "We make a good team." (smiles) "Well, I'll see you tomorrow." (smiles and walks away)

7.09 "Power Trip"
Calleigh: (going over the infrared photos) "There's some clear bruising, but it doesn't look like he strangled her."
Eric: "Yeah, there's only four markings, all from fingers. Some blood jump- pinch the carotid and the jugular, cut off blood to the brain. Hypoxia sets in and in a few seconds, it's lights out."
Calleigh: (contemplating the theories) "So we're looking for someone with specialized hand to hand training...maybe military."
Eric: "Or a cop."
Calleigh: (stunned) "Are you saying that you think Reggie killed Allison Nouvell and Kathy Meyers?"
Eric: "I'm saying that he's been all over this case since it started."
Calleigh: "Yeah, because he wants the guy to be caught."
Eric: (arguing) "Or because he wants to make sure that we have a suspect at all times."
Calleigh: (hesitantly) "Okay, look. I'm willing to admit that Reggie can be a bit of aggressive, but he's a good cop."
Eric: (trying to calm down) "In Allison Nouvell's case, they used infrared photography, too. There were no markings. The killer's getting angrier and all I'm saying is that I've seen Mastow. He can come unhinged."
Calleigh: (quietly) "In my opinion, all you've got are a few bruises and I think you need to have a lot more than that before you take this theory out in front of the rest of the department."
Eric: (stubbornly) "I don't agree."

7.10 "Deluca Motel"
Eric: (processing the crime scene) "Who would have thought hazing would help us solve a crime?"
Calleigh: (turning from the dummy to look at him) "Well, my guess would be the same people who would think you were living here."
Eric: (looking at her; quietly) "I was wondering how long it was going to take before you asked."
Calleigh: "Why didn't you tell anybody that you moved into a motel? Does it have anything to do with your family?" (concerned)
Eric: (looking away) "I'm just trying to figure some things out."
Calleigh: (quietly) "I just don't want you to get hurt."

7.12 "Head Case"
Calleigh: "You doing okay?"
Eric: "No, not really. I just found out that Doug is all alone, doesn't have a wife, family."
Calleigh: (concerned) "You know you're not Doug, right?"
Eric: "Yeah, I do."
Calleigh: (nods) "Okay."
Eric: "Your friendship means a lot to me, Calleigh."
Calleigh: (smiles) "I didn't know you felt that way."
Eric: "How can you not know that? You read my file."
Calleigh: (pauses) "That was an unrelated case. It's important to me to respect your privacy."

Calleigh: (at the lab; waiting for Eric to get off the elevator) "Hey. I was waitin' for you." (hands him a file folder) "Uh, this is the file Horatio wanted." (awkward silence)
Eric: "Thanks." (turns to leave, then stops to face her) "About what happened earlier...I didn't mean to put you on the spot."
Calleigh: (smiles; pause) "Forget it."
Eric: (pause; quietly) "What if I don't want to?"
Calleigh: (pause; seriously, but quietly) "Eric, I am so confused. What do you want?" (pause; waits to see if he'll answer) "You are gonna have to tell me, because until I actually hear you say the words...I don't even know if you believe it yourself." (pause) "Do you know what I'm saying?" (Eric stares at her, then she walks away)
Eric: (to himself as he watches her leave) "Yeah, I do."

7.13 "And They're Offed"
Calleigh: (walking into the room) "So what have we got besides a killer view?"
Eric: "We've got a man shot in his own luxury suite."
Calleigh: "Any witnesses?"
Eric: "Doesn't appear that way. He was here alone."
Calleigh: (opens her kit) "All right. Let's see what our shooter left for us."
Eric: (processing the scene) "So what happened to you last night? Thought you were coming by Brennans. We had a table in the back."
Calleigh: (sheepishly) "Oh, I just went home, did some emails, went to sleep. I was tired. I'm sorry."
Eric: "No. No reason to be sorry. You just missed out on a good time, that's all."
Calleigh: (working the scene) "Looks like the victim dropped a pair of binoculars on the floor."
Eric: (checking it out) "It's a combination binocular/digital camera."
Calleigh: "Maybe Bannion was killed over something he saw."
Eric: "Yeah, maybe he took a picture of it. I'll get them to AV."
Calleigh: (surveying the food) "Well, he sure liked fine wine. Also, this food looks like it could've been prepared at the track." (picks up the box) "Except for this."
Eric: (looks at it) "What's that?"
Calleigh: "They're Grand Dame truffles." (looks up at him with a smile) "They are delicious. They are my favorite, and because of that I happen to know you can't even get them in Miami."
Eric: (confused) "What does that get us?"
Calleigh: (smiles) "A place to start."

7.14 "Smoke Gets in Your CSIs"
Ryan: (to Calleigh at the crime scene) "Do you realize that you drive like a madwoman?"
Calleigh: "Well, if you don't like it, next time you drive."
Ryan: "Well, maybe I will." (pause) "So, uh, what is going on with you and Delko by the way?"
Calleigh: (stunned) "What are you talking about?"
Ryan: "Come on, Calleigh. You know exactly what I'm talking about."
Calleigh: "Oh, please. Give it a rest."

Calleigh: (in interrogation- coughs; then to suspect) "Can you..." (coughs again; to Eric) "You got some gum?"
Eric: (gives her gum; then quietly) "You okay?"
Calleigh: (nods) "Uh-huh." (to suspect) "Mr. Astor, you said you were playing basketball with, um..." (coughing gets worse)
Eric: (concerned) "Calleigh, you okay?" (comes to her side; coughing persists)
Astor: "What is this- good cop, crazy cop?"
Eric: (really concerned; Calleigh continues to cough) "Calleigh..."
Calleigh: (panicked as she tries to catch her breath) "I can't breathe." (coughs persistently as she slides to the ground and falls back into Eric's arms)
Eric: "Hey, hey." (catches her; then to people outside) "Hey, officer down in here! I need an ambulance! Officer needs a 42! I need help NOW!" (holds Calleigh and brushes back her hair with a panicked look on his face)
Alexx: (to Eric at the hospital) "What happened?"
Eric: (following the gurney) "There was a fire this morning. She was fine at the scene. Then she crashed."
Alexx: "Smoke inhalation is a quick change artist. Patient seems fine initially, then crashes. We need to intebate." (to Calleigh) "Stay with me, Calleigh."

Eric: (to Calleigh as he sits at her bedside) "You know, the docs have you on this nitric oxide to help you breathe better. But you can't stay on it forever. It'll turn on ya if your lungs don't start to breathe on their own. So you gotta get that peep number down to four, okay?" (holds her hand and stands next to her bed to lean closer to her) "You're gonna get through this, okay? I know you will. You have to." (quietly) "I can't imagine going to work without you...I can't imagine living my life without you."

Calleigh: (stretches and smiles) "Hey."
Eric: (smiles back) "Hey. I, um, I put my watch on you so you'd know I was here in case you woke up when I was out on the investigation."
Calleigh: (smiling up at him) "I knew you were here."
Eric: (slightly confused) "How'd you know I was here? You could..." (hesitantly) "Could you hear me? You heard what I said?"
Calleigh: (quietly) "Yeah. It was like a dream."
Eric: "It was real."
Calleigh: (hesitantly) "Will you...stay with me?"
Eric: (looking serious) "No. No..." (shakes his head, then grins) "Yeah. As long as you want me to." (sits by the bed and holds her hand) "As long as you want me to."

7.16 "Sink or Swim"
Calleigh: (In immigration holding- quietly) "What did the immigration attorney say?"
Eric: "He said the state is fast-tracking my deportation hearing. He said there's no due process for illegal immigrants."
Calleigh: (pauses; then quietly) "Why didn't you say anything to me? I mean, you found out your birth certificate is a fake. That's a huge deal, don't you think?"
Eric: "I just couldn't wrap my brain around it."
Calleigh: (urgently) "We're supposed to do stuff together now, though, right? I mean, all the stuff that you said to me at the hospital about us."
Eric: (seriously) "I meant all of it."
Calleigh: (small smile) "Yeah." (nods)
Eric: (sighs) "It's like all of a sudden my life is a lie."
Calleigh: (laughs softly) "It's all right. I happen to like the lie."
Eric: "What?" (laughs)
Calleigh: (pauses; then softly) "You could have told me."
Eric: (sighs) "This is crazy."
Calleigh: "Yeah." (nods and smiles reassuringly) "We'll get through it."

Calleigh: (running a test in the lab) "We have got to get Eric out of this mess. Do you think this will work?"
Horatio: "It has to."

Calleigh: (smiling and laughing with her arms spread wide) "You missed out!" (hugs him, then steps back with her hands at his waist; his hands at her hips) "I was gonna marry you, but your dad stepped in." (smiling up at him)
Eric: (laughs) "What makes you think I would say yes? Maybe I met somebody special on the inside."
Calleigh: (coyly) "I doubt his cooking is as good as mine." (looks up at him) "Hey, why don't I take you back to my place? I'll make you a traditional American dinner since you're new to our country." (smiles)
Eric: (chuckles) "That sounds good." (pauses; looks down at her) "But danger has been following me everywhere I go." (she kisses him, then pulls back) "Calleigh, I'm serious. I don't want anything to happen to you." (she kisses him again, then pulls back and looks up at him)
Calleigh: "Come on. I have the safest house in Miami." (leans closer and whispers) "Do you know how many guns I have?" (smiles as they walk with their arms around each other) "You protected me; I'll protect you."

7.18 "Flight Risk"
Calleigh: (in the plane restroom) "Welcome to the smoking lounge."
Eric: (stepping in behind her) "Or the plane's personnel motel room. Come in here, sneak a smoke, have sex..."
Calleigh: "Maybe kill a flight attendant. So either someone flushed the cigarette, or they hid it." (finds the butt)
Eric: "Now it's time to find who."

Calleigh: (Eric daydreams about him and Calleigh flying somewhere together in first class) "Eric...Eric...Eric..." (snaps him out of it and smiles at him) "This is nice." (looks around) "How can you afford to sit up here and still have money for your destination?"
Eric: "Yeah, well the destination didn't seem to matter for Suzanne Grady. All we know right now is this is where her last night of life began." (finds the stash of bottles) "Remember when I told you I smelled alcohol on her?"
Calleigh: "Suzanne Grady was going for some sort of record."
Eric: (looks up at her from where he's kneeling) "You think this is a freak accident?"
Calleigh: (contemplative) "Maybe. I mean, drunk people do stupid things, but I can't imagine she would shut herself in a case. I think someone overpowered her."
Eric: "None of the crew said they say anything out of the ordinary." (they hear rustling and find another flight attendant cleaning, so they question her)

Natalia: (with Ryan; shocked when they find the plane's romp room) "Wow."
Ryan: "Well, I guess we found the mile-high club, huh."
Natalia: "And the last place Suzanne Grady was seen alive."
Ryan: "Well, this backs up the captain's story. I can't believe they have these little love nests in planes. You know, I think we need one of these."
Natalia: (jokingly) "Yeah, right? We could convert firearms."
Ryan: "Sure. I can think of two people that would enjoy that."
Natalia: "No...Who?" (looks at him questioningly as he just looks at her; then stunned) "Calleigh and Delko? No way! Do...do you have proof?"
Ryan: "I don't have any proof. I just have a feeling. But I don't want any..."
Natalia: (cuts him off) "Oh...lalalalala...Okay. Let's see if we can find where everything went south for Suzanne."

Calleigh: (Eric is in the lab running a test. No sound except background music; Calleigh walks in with a cup of coffee) "Here you go." (read her lips)

7.19 "Target Specific"
Calleigh: (in the lab, to Eric with a smile) "All right. I have stolen this can of mineral spirits from our maintenance guy. So, I say if he comes looking for it, we throw Wolfe out of the bus."
Eric: (grins) "It's for a good cause."
Calleigh: (laughs) "I also talked to Natalia. All the blood we found on the knife and the floor belongs to Megan. She didn't find any from the attacker."
Eric: "She didn't shoot him after all."
Calleigh: (shakes her head) "No. It doesn't look that way." (watches Eric wipe the blade with the solvent) "Hey, what are you doin'? That's gonna destroy the print."
Eric: (with a grin at her shock) "The only way to lift this print is to destroy it. When I tried to dust the blade before, the powder wouldn't take. I realized the print was trapped under a layer of wax."
Calleigh: (confused) "Who waxes a knife?"
Eric: "Collectors. They use a product called Renaissance Wax to preserve antiques."
Calleigh: "So whoever applied it would've left behind a print."
Eric: "Yep. So I needed this solvent to remove the wax. Luckily we know that fingerprint oils corrode metal."
Calleigh: (watching and understanding) "Oh. I get it. You apply a charge to the blade and then add a conductive powder."
Eric: "Exactly. Hopefully the powder attracts to the fingerprint." (grins when it works)

Calleigh: (to Eric on the phone) "Hey. Yeah, no I know she said she shot the guy, but the only blood we found was hers." (smiles) "Yes, I'm goin' to look for the hidden cash in the drawer. All right. I'll see ya in five." (door opens) "Hey Eric. I think Megan was telling the truth." (guy puts a bag over her head and she struggles) "You're making a big mistake. I'm a police officer. Don't do this." (guy takes her gun and runs; Eric comes in)
Eric: (frantic) "Hey, I heard a gate slam. What happened?"
Calleigh: (breathing heavily) "The attacker came back." (walks quickly to the kitchen)
Eric: (following her into the kitchen) "What do you mean the attacker came back?! You okay?" (talking to her back)
Calleigh: "I need some gauze."
Eric: "Hey. Calleigh, talk to me. You okay?"
Calleigh: (rifles through the cupboards) "Yeah. I'm fine. He put the bag over my head." (sounds choked up) "He took my weapon. Made me drop the evidence." (continues going through cupboards)
Eric: (stops her by holding her arms) "What do you need me to do?" (holding her still)
Calleigh: (frantic) "I need you to get me some gauze, please."
Eric: (lets her go) "All right." (goes through her kit) "Gauze is in here?"
Calleigh: "Yeah." (when he gets the gauze) "Put it in here." (gestures to the bowl in her hand)
Eric: "All right. Here." (puts the gauze in the bowl and watches as she adds the bag)
Calleigh: "I couldn't see him but i could smell him. Scents are invisible to the eye, but they're really just volatile chemicals that are floating through the air. Any leftover scent from the bag will be absorbed by the gauze and we can analyze that."
Eric: "Sounds like a long shot."
Calleigh: "It's all we've got."

Eric: (to Ryan in the AV Lab) "Hey. I heard you got a warrant to go through that paparazzi's pictures."
Ryan: "Yeah, I did. I was hooking them up now."
Eric: (looking at the pictures) "He wasn't there for celebrities. Let's find out what he was really doing."
Ryan: "Here's Zoe Belle with Natalia and Horatio. Here's her mansion."
Eric: "Wait a minute. That's Patrick Garredy. Both he and Belle reported break-ins."
Ryan: "I think that's what we're gonna find with most of the mansions in these photos."
Eric: "This Cameron West is casing houses. I don't know how that's connected to Megan Hamilton. She's hardly rich and famous." (continuing to scan photos)
Ryan: "Yeah, neither do I. She's not in any of these photos."
Eric: (sees a photo of Calleigh) "Hey, that's Calleigh."
Ryan: (picture is of Calleigh riding a horse with the horse trainer) "Who's that guy she's with?"
Eric: "A horse trainer from Bayside. Remember that horse owner that got shot in his luxury suite?"
Ryan: "So Cameron West took a picture of a famous horse."
Eric: "Or the trainer. Hey, uh, what's the date on that picture?"
Ryan: "Uh, two months ago. Let's keep looking." (pause) "Looks like you got some competition."
Eric: (slightly shocked) "What do you mean?"
Ryan: "Come on, Eric. I see how you and Calleigh ignore each other at crime scenes."
Eric: "You don't know what you're talking about."
Ryan: (grins) "Yeah, whatever, man." (sees pictures of the other CSIs) "Wait a minute. Take a look at this. He's not just taking pictures of Calleigh. He's taking pictures of all of us."

Horatio: (on the phone) "Eric."
Eric: "Cameron West is taking pictures of our whole team. And he knows about my father. I think he's working for the Russians."
Horatio: "Did he mention Ivan Sarnov?"
Eric: "No, he didn't. What do you wanna do?"
Horatio: "We're gonna put him on notice."

Calleigh: (in the morgue to Eric) "What's going on? You wanted to see me?"
Eric: (quietly after she closes the door) "Yeah." (pauses) "We're being watched."
Calleigh: (looks around) "Somebody knows about us?"
Eric: "No. Not you and me. Our entire team. We're all in danger."
Calleigh: (looks at the pictures on the table) "Who took these?" (concerned)
Eric: "One of Ivan Sarnov's people. This is serious, Calleigh. Sarnov put a target on us and is trying to intimidate us the way they do in Mexico City so he can take the run of Miami."
Calleigh: (looks at the picture Eric holds up) "That's Terrence."
Eric: "Yeah. That's your horse trainer friend. He might be in danger, too."
Calleigh: (clicks through her cell phone) "I should call him."
Eric: (jealous about her talking to the other guy) "Yeah. Yeah, you should call him."
Calleigh: (stops going through her phone and smiles at Eric) "That was one afternoon. You know that, right?"
Eric: "Then why is his number in your cell phone?"
Calleigh: (smiles and shrugs) "I don't know. It was before you and me." (pauses; then quietly) "Can we talk about this tonight?"
Eric: (nods, then smiles slightly) "All right, we'll talk about it later."
Calleigh: (nods) "Okay."

Eric: (walking into Calleigh's lab) "Hey. I got your call. Have you figured out who your attacker is yet?"
Calleigh: "I'm just analyzing the scent now."
Eric: "All signs point to either Cameron West or his partner."
Calleigh: (working the test) "I'm hoping that this is gonna be able to narrow it down." (pause) "The main component is silver sulfurdiazine."
Eric: "That's an antibiotic cream. It's used mainly to treat burns."
Calleigh: (realizing a possibility) "Or bites."
Eric: "That means that Megan Hamilton's dog bit off more than just clothing. She got a piece of flesh, too."
Calleigh: "Yeah, but Ryan said he didn't find blood on any of the clothes, so how are we gonna figure out who got bit?"
Eric: "I'm gonna call Animal Control and process the dog from head to toe."
Calleigh: (smiles) "Great." (looks down at the counter, then up at him again)
Eric: "We're gonna get this guy."

7.22 "Dead on Arrival"
Eric: (walking to the passenger side of the Hummer) "The whole lab's buzzing about Grace Carlson's murder. I feel like I'm in a foreign country, and I don't speak the language."
Calleigh: (walking the crime scene) "It's a girl thing."
Eric: "Wait a minute. You watch, too?"
Calleigh: (smiling) "Maybe...Well, I used to."
Eric: (chuckles) "All these years, you still manage to surprise me."
Calleigh: "I'd like to think that's possible."
Eric: (walks the opposite side of the scene, then stops to look at her) "Wait a minute. You said that you used to watch it. Why did you stop?"
Calleigh: (pause) "Well, I got this new diversion." (gestures as she describes him) "Um, he's really cute. He's about this tall. He's wearing a white shirt..." (laughs)
Eric: (chuckles) "Hmm. As much as I'd like you to continue, take a look. We've got two sets of tire treads. Same as the limos from the show."
Calleigh: "Acceleration marks prove that the limos took off in a hurry on the way back to the mansion."
Eric: (measures the marks) "Wheel base is sixteen feet center to center. That's the same as the cars from the show."
Calleigh: (finds something that was crushed) "What do you think this is?"
Eric: (looks at it; smiles) "In the death business, we call that a great start." (Calleigh laughs)

7.24 "Dissolved"
Calleigh: (at the crime scene, walking towards Eric and Travers) "So Travers, have you figured out what this is yet?"
Travers: "Just about." (walks away)
Eric: (smiling) "Uh, you mind lending me a hand?"
Calleigh: (smiling back) "I'll give you two." (neutralizing the pool, then checking the pH level) "All right. The pH is at 7. It's perfectly neutral. So it's safe to get the body out. Do you think you wanna use your hands, or use the hook?"
Eric: (smiles) "No, you can use the hook. I'll get my hands dirty."
Calleigh: "Thank you." (pulling the body out of the water) "That's really interesting. His clothes are in tatters, but his shoes are intact."
Eric: "Yeah. They must have been synthetic or they'd look as bad as Mr. Cattigan here." (phone rings, looks at it) "I have to take this call. Can you guys finish this up?" (Calleigh nods)
Calleigh: (in the filtration shed) "Who was that on the phone?"
Eric: "It was the lab. I called in about some prints I lifted yesterday."

Calleigh: (walking into the lab) "Sean Echols is a dead end, but Tripp is still looking."
Eric: "Rebecca Barnett's still out there?"
Calleigh: "Yeah."
Eric: (looks at her intently) "Listen. Before, when I was on the phone, you asked me who I was talking to. My father- Sharova."
Calleigh: (shakes her head, worried) "Eric..."
Eric: "Calleigh, I know what I'm doing, all right?"
Calleigh: (looks at him pleadingly) "I just want you to please be careful, okay? He is connected to so many dangerous people." (Eric nods, then changes the subject)

7.25 "Seeing Red"
Eric: (outside of the lab) "Hey."
Calleigh: (serious and quiet) "I need to talk to you."
Eric: "About what?"
Calleigh: (shows him the folder) "This."
Eric: (looks at the photo) "That's my father. Where...where'd you get this?"
Calleigh: (looks at him) "It was taken from the dash cam of the trail car that was in the attack this morning." (pause) "Eric, we're gonna have to bring him in."
Eric: "This doesn't mean he had anything to do with it."
Calleigh: (urgently) "He was there when they tried to kill Sarnov."
Eric: (defensively) "He wouldn't do this. You don't know him."
Calleigh: (disbelieving) "I'm sorry. Do you know him?"
Eric: (pause; quietly and urgently) "I was going to be deported, Calleigh. He risked his life to stand up for me."
Calleigh: "He is a part of a crime organization. We need to talk to him, unless you've already done it."
Eric: "I haven't."
Calleigh: (pause; quietly) "Can I look at your list of recent calls?" (Eric stares at her disbelievingly) "You cannot cross this line." (pause; looks up at him) "I won't watch you do it."

Eric: (in the lab) "So that's the decoy car from this morning."
Calleigh: (distant) "Yeah. Somebody just called it in. An anonymous tip."
Eric: "That's good. That's a good break."
Calleigh: (looks at him) "If you wanna call it that."
Eric: (chuckles) "What's that supposed to mean?"
Calleigh: (quietly) "Where'd the car come from?"
Eric: "Calleigh, you just told me. You got an anonymous tip."
Calleigh: (heated; disbelieving) "So you really expect me to believe that this crackerjack evidence just fell down from the sky?"
Eric: (slightly angry) "What's your problem?"
Calleigh: "Does this have something to do with your father?"
Eric: "No."
Calleigh: (urgently) "Okay. You know that if you have talked to him, if you have helped him, it makes you an accessory."
Eric: "I know the law."
Calleigh: "Do you? I mean, do you really?"
Eric: (pause) "Let's talk about this later." (walks away)

Ryan: (after the shootout) "Are you okay? I think they got away with hundreds of automatic weapons."
Calleigh: (breathless) "The silver car that fled the scene?"
Ryan: "Yeah, I'll put out a BOLO."
Calleigh: "It was Eric."
Ryan: "Excuse me?"
Calleigh: "He was driving and Sharova was in the car with him."
Ryan: (confused) "Wait a minute. What?"
Calleigh: (panicking) "It was Eric. I shot at him."
Ryan: "Are you sure?"
Calleigh: "Yes." (walks away)

Horatio: (after finding the escape car; to Sharova) "Where's Eric?"
Sharova: "I don't know."
Frank: "What do yo mean, 'you don't know'? You left the armory with him."
Horatio: "You're covered in blood, my friend."
Sharova: "It's not my blood."
Calleigh: (panicked) "Whose blood is it? Is it Eric's?"
Horatio: "What happened?"
Sharova: "He was there to help me. He was getting me out before I committed a crime."
Calleigh: (urgently; really panicked) "Was he hit? Did I hit him?"
Sharova: "All I know is he was bleeding. He kept driving and then he lost control of the car. That's all I know."
Horatio: (to Sharova) "If anything's happened to him, you're gonna get what your friends got."
Frank: (pulling Sharova up) "Get up. You're under arrest."
Calleigh: (to Horatio) "If he's not in the car, where is he?"
Horatio: "We'll find him."
Calleigh: (nods; fights back tears) "We can't lose him."
Horatio: "I'm not gonna let that happen." (Horatio walks away and finds footprints leading to the water; Calleigh walks away in another direction and starts cying)

Quoted Dialogue of Eric and Calleigh- Season 6

maui_mandy85 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 14:39:02 CST

6.01 "Dangerous Son"
Calleigh: (walking in) "Hey Eric."
Eric: (jealously) "Nice tan."
Calleigh: "Yeah. Five days in Antigua. First vacation I've had in a long time."
Eric: "Saw Jake outside." (resentfully; quietly) "He's got the same tan."
Calleigh: (awkward silence) "What'd you get from the wall?"
Eric: "Two rounds. Looks like they might be .45 caliber."

Eric: (walking to the boat) "Calleigh. What have you got?"
Calleigh: ".40 caliber casing. Same as the casing that you pulled from the wall at the crime scene."
Eric: "SWAT incident report indicates he fired one round from the boat." (sees the mangled casing) "What the hell happened to it?"
Calleigh: "I don't know. It must have struck something on the boat."
Eric: "The only thing that could've done that kind of damage would be the engine. Why would you ride around with that hatch open? It just causes extra drag."
Calleigh: (looking) "Hey Mama! Maybe because you need to get to your drug stash?"
Eric: (grinning) "Oh!" (Calleigh holds up a bag of cocaine)
Jake: "Hey, ran the numbers on our boat. It's registered to a business. The Mix Cafe."
Eric: "The kid I talked to, Kyle, got a job at that place. Maybe the owner believes in second chances."
Calleigh: "Unfortunately, not everybody deserves one."

6.04 "Bang, Bang, Your Debt"
Calleigh: (walking over) "Hey. Wanna catch me up?"
Eric: "Yeah. We've got one dead, one critical."
Calleigh: (to Mike) "Can you take a couple of pictures of the crowd? I wanna have the faces on record, just in case."
Mike: "You got it, CSI Duquesne." (with a huge smile)
Calleigh: (to Eric) "I think we should probably go ahead and get the car back to bay."
Eric: "I already called it in, CSI Duquesne." (laughs)
Calleigh: (scoffs, then sees his face when he thinks he sees Speed) "Are you okay?"
Eric: "Yeah...no, I'm fine."
Calleigh: "You don't look fine." (worried)
Eric: "I just stood up too fast, that's all."
Calleigh: (smiling, but not believing it) "All right." (walks away as he ponders)

Calleigh: (in the lab) "Did you get a print?"
Eric: (working a run) Yeah. Now we just need to connect it with a face."
Mike: (walking in) "CSI Duquesne."
Calleigh: (smiling) "You can call me Calleigh."
Mike: "Oh, right. Calleigh, I, uh, have those pictures you asked for."
Calleigh: "Thank you, Mike." (Mike leaves)
Eric: What'd he get?"
Calleigh: (studying the pictures)"You. I thought you looked like you saw a ghost out there."
Eric: "Don't worry about me."
Calleigh: "You don't have to be embarrassed. The doctor said after your injury you might be up and down, possibly for years.
Eric: "Can we just stay on target?"
Calleigh: (quietly) "C'mon, Eric. It's me. What'd you see out there?"
Eric: (pause) "I saw evidence of arson." (avoiding the question; Calleigh nods in acceptance) "Andrew Hillman."
Calleigh: "Great."

Eric: (grinning) "Buckle up."
Calleigh: (laughing) "I'm tryin'."
Eric: (grinning as he watches her struggle with the latch) "What, are you diggin' for change?"
Calleigh: (exclaims in delight when she pulls out a credit card) "Ooh, I think I found something even better." (sees the name) "Oh my God."
Eric: (grinning) "What, is it a platinum card?"
Calleigh: (quietly) "This is Speedle's credit card."
Eric: "I knew it."
Calleigh: "What is going on?"
Eric: (distractedly) "Nothing."
Calleigh: "Look Eric, if we're gonna work together, you have to talk to me."
Eric: "I said it's nothing."
Calleigh: "Does it have something to do with me and Jake? Is there a problem?"
Eric: "No, Calleigh, don't be ridiculous."
Calleigh: "Well, you've been acting weird with me all day. So what else am I supposed to think?"
Eric: "Let's just forget about it. Can I have Speedle's card, please?" (Calleigh gives it to him)

6.05 "Deep Freeze"
Eric: (on the phone) "Calleigh, it's Delko. Listen, I think I may have just put you in a jam. Call me as soon as you get this, okay?" (hangs up; frustrated)

Eric: "Calleigh, what's up?"
Calleigh: (walking away) "Nothing."
Eric: (chasing after her) "What's wrong? Did I interrupt something?"
Calleigh: (turning to face him) "How does Rick Stetler have even the faintest idea of what's going on in my personal life?"
Eric: (shamefully) "It was an accident. I left you a message...I called you."
Calleigh: (almost accusingly) "I didn't get it."
Eric: (starting to get upset) "I never intended for this to happen, okay? I don't like the situation with Jake, but I wouldn't rat you out. You know that."
Calleigh: (turning away) "Let's just work the case."

6.06 "Sunblock"
Calleigh: (walking into the lab) "Is that the stuff that Mario stole?"
Eric: "You mean the Wolf Man? Yeah, this is everything he scavenged from Ronnie Temple's briefcase." (pause) "At least Montero wasn't lying...embryonic hormones...canius lupus."
Calleigh: (shocked) "He injects wolf hormones? Why?"
Eric: "The guy wants to turn himself into a wolf."
Calleigh: (pause) "Well, Mario made bail, and he's gotten a big firm to represent him."
Eric: (pause; looks at her) "Lawyers, vampires and werewolves- they all run in the same circles." (Calleigh tries to smile) "You're still angry with me about the thing with Jake, right?"
Calleigh: (quietly) "No. I'm not. You know what? It...it probably would've gotten out eventually, even if you hadn't told Stetler, and you probably just sped up the inevitable."
Eric: (quietly, staring at her) "If it would've been me, I would've transferred to the night shift."
Calleigh: (pause; speechless) "That's sweet."

6.09 "Stand Your Ground"
Calleigh: (sitting in the ambulance) "I don't know what happened. I was just at a brunch down the street."
Eric: (sitting next to her) "Are you gonna be okay?"
Calleigh: (nods; pause) "There was a woman in that building. An innocent woman."
Eric: (quietly) "Listen, Calleigh, I gotta ask you something and I don't want you to take it the wrong way...I know you're off-duty, but have you been drinking?"
Calleigh: "You know, the paramedic asked me that question." (pauses; fights tears) "I had two mimosas but it doesn't have anything to do with what happened. It's my day off."
Eric: "You don't have to explain it to me. I understand. I believe you. It's just not me that you gotta worry about." (hugs her; she squeezes his hand on her shoulder)

Calleigh: (at the crime scene) "Hey. Why'd you want me to come down?"
Eric: "Keith Morton told Horatio that there was a truck parked at this corner, blocking their escape."
Calleigh: "Yeah, I told Stetler that it wasn't there, but then again, he thinks I was drunk." (laughs sarcastically)
Eric: "You were right. Take a look at this hole here." (shows her a bullet) "I pulled this out of it. Look familiar?"
Calleigh: "Yeah." (smiles) "It's a .45."
Eric: "I'm willing to bet it's yours. Missed the suspects' car and shot the tree."
Calleigh: "You know that proves there was no way there was a truck there."
Eric: Keith Morton's story's B.S. They weren't looking for an escape route." (pauses) "They were coming back to kill you. Stetler's wrong. You did what you had to do."
Calleigh: "Thanks, Eric."
Eric: "Don't thank me. Thank, uh, thank Jake. He just called me down here and asked me to handle it."
Calleigh: (surprised) "Jake asked you to do this?"
Eric: (shrugs) "Guess he's a stand up guy after all."

6.10 "My Nanny"
Calleigh: (searching the closet) "Can you imagine raising a family without any help? I mean, give the hours we work..."
Eric: (looking for the scuba kit) "Yeah, I could. Definitely."
Calleigh: (shocked; turning to look at him) "Really?"
Eric: (slightly offended by her shock) "Yeah, why? You don't think I'd be a good dad?"
Calleigh: (turning back to the closet) "No, I think you'd be a great dad. I just never heard you mention having children before." (smiling slightly)
Eric: (quietly) "Yeah, well...maybe when I find the right girl." (Calleigh hides the last hint of a smile and bites her lip as if to keep from saying something)

6.13 "Raising Caine"
Calleigh: (walking into the lab) "I heard Horatio may have found the murder weapon."
Eric: (processing fingerprints on the gun) "Yeah. In Julia Winston's Mercedes."
Calleigh: (watching him) "How diabolical. You know, if her husband had signed the annulment, she wouldn't have anything, and now she's a wealthy widow."
Eric: (grinning at her) "Hang on, Calleigh, okay? Let's see what the evidence tells us."
Calleigh: "Okay."
Eric: (analyzing the print) "Now, I've got some pressure distortion here, but I, uh, think I've got enough to make a comparison."
Calleigh: (thinking out loud) "I know that Julia's a savvy con artist, but I'm thinking she's a rookie killer."
Eric: (smiling and handing her the comparison) "You're so sure of yourself that I am going to let you confirm it."
Calleigh: (taking the card and magnifier) "My pleasure."
Eric: "Ten card's right there." (pushing the elimination card towards her)
Calleigh: (checking and double checking; then frustrated) "Okay. This print you gave me is not Julia's."
Eric: (grinning) "I said it. I told you she was framed." (working the computer) "Gonna widen the search, run it through AFIS." (pause) "I got something. Ron Mason."
Calleigh: "The guy in the basement. Thanks. I'll bring him in." (leaves)

6.14 "You May Now Kill the Bride"
Eric: (at the crime scene as Calleigh guides the driver back) "How do we know where the car was parked?"
Calleigh: (guiding the driver; then making him stop) "The driver left very clear acceleration marks."
Eric: (bending down in front of the car) "We know where the shot came from, and the altar is about twenty feet behind you." (installing the laser) "As soon as we install this laser on the gun mount, we should be able to follow the beam to our victim." (finds the beam's target) "Homing sensor sends a signal, gun finds it...locks on...circuit's complete, target's found."
Calleigh: (watching from the altar) "So whoever was sitting in that chair was our intended victim."
Eric: (confused) "Yeah, but why did the shot kill the bride?"
Calleigh: "I don't know. Let's recreate the moment." (moves into position, puts on the veil; smiles) "If you tell anyone I did this, I'll kill you."
Eric: (smiling slightly) "You are the same height as the bride, right?"
Calleigh: "And I'm wearing her fake veil."
Eric: "With the lighter stones."
Calleigh: (moving towards him) "And with a protection shot like this, as little as a millimeter can mean life or death. So the fake stones put Susan Austin in the line of fire. The bullet hit the zirconium and fragmented into her head."
Eric: "So the true target was behind her."
Calleigh: All we need now is a name."

6.15 "Ambush"
Calleigh: (at the crime scene) "It always makes me nervous when the crowd is so close."
Eric: "There's not a lot of dry land to stand on here."
Calleigh: "Yeah, but it's such a gruesome thing to watch."
Eric: "I don't know."
Calleigh: (taking photos) "Something's off."
Eric: "What's that?"
Calleigh: "Her Sun Pass is missing. Remember? We tracked her as far north as Boca."
Eric: "Yeah, and then her car ends up all the way down here..."
Calleigh: "Yeah, that doesn't add up."
Eric: "All right. We still have the court order to check the Sun Pass archives. Might be worth looking into."
Calleigh: "Yeah. Maybe the killer made a mistake. The Sun Pass could take us right to him. (Eric walks away and drops a paper with notes on scene processing; Calleigh picks it up and looks worried when she realizes what it is)

Eric: (storming into Cooper's condo) "Where is she? What are you doin', huh? What are you doing, Cooper?" (knocks Cooper on the ground)
Cooper: "I was just havin' a little bit of fun, all right? Little Miss Perfect needed to be taken down a notch or two, so I videotaped her. So what?"
Eric: (grabbing Cooper by the shirt front, getting more angry by the second) "Videotaped her? You've been harassing her on the website and now she's missing."
Cooper: "Well, Calleigh's a big girl. She can take care of herself."
Eric: (getting in Cooper's face) "She can take care of herself?! You posted her new number on the website!"
Cooper: "It's not against the law.
Eric: (really angry) "Yeah, well what if some felon...What if some felon calls her out to a location, huh?! You think about that?!" (pauses and watches Cooper realize his oversight) "Yeah, that's what I thought." (slams Cooper down on the ground and turns to storm out) "Something happens to her, Cooper, I'm gonna come back here and kill you!" (leaves)

6.16 "All In"
Natalia: "There's a lot of similarities between Kathleen Newberry's case and Calleigh's: chloroform, they were both kidnapped in public places..."
Eric: "And Ron Saris doesn't have an alibi for either one. I'm not gonna let Calleigh end up like that other woman."

Eric: (walking side by side with Calleigh to the Hummers) "You sure you're okay?"
Calleigh: (nods) "Yeah, I'm okay."
Eric: "What are you gonna do- take some time off?"
Calleigh: (stops at her Hummer) "I really don't know to be honest. I think I just wanna go home. Think about what happened." (turns to get in the Hummer)
Eric: (steps closer) "Hey, you're not going home alone."
Calleigh: (turns to look at him) "Eric, I'm fine. I really am, I promise, but thank you." (turns around again)
Eric: "I'm not." (Calleigh turns) "I don't know what I would've done if something were to happen to you today."
Calleigh: (pauses and looks him in the eye) "Okay." (Eric opens the door for her on his Hummer, then goes to the driver's side, which she has opened from the inside)

6.21 "Going Ballistic"
Eric: (seeing Calleigh) "Calleigh...Guess if you're here, that means, uh..."
Calleigh: (smiling) "Yeah, I finished my proficiencies."
Eric: (smiling back) "I think you mean my proficiencies."
Calleigh: "You know, Eric, I just don't think we even need to talk about it. I really didn't mind the refresher course. It was good for me." (pause) "Anyway, this is terrible, I don't even know what to say."

Eric: (walking into the firearms lab) "Thank God you're okay."
Calleigh: "It was crazy. The bullet just rolled off the table and the lab catches on fire."
Eric: "Normally bullets don't discharge when they hit the ground."
Calleigh: (beating herself up) "I know. It's because they were old. I should have known something because of the oxidation."
Eric: (kneeling in front of her and taking her hands) "Don't beat yourself up over it."
Calleigh: (quietly) "Because of me, the entire case is probably compromised."
Eric: "There were three unspent bullets at the scene, right?"
Calleigh: (thinking) "Yeah."
Eric: "How many of them were compromised?"
Calleigh: "I think two. There's probably another one in the rubble."
Eric: (standing up and putting on gloves) "All right. Let's find it." (roots around; finally finds the bullet and picks it up) "Hey. Here it is. I found it."
Calleigh: (smiling up at him and breathing a sigh of relief) "You are my hero."

Quoted Dialogue of Eric and Calleigh- Season 5

maui_mandy85 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:37:39 CST

5.01 "Rio"
Eric: (answering his phone) "Calleigh. Hey."
Calleigh: "Hey. How's it goin'?"
Eric: "It's been tough."
Calleigh: (concerned) "Is everything okay?"
Eric: No. They, uh, released Riaz."
Calleigh: "I heard." (changing the subject) "What's it like down there?"
Eric: Beautiful. Couldn't be farther from Miami, other than the weather. Wherever you turn, there's a skyscraper or a mountain. The shanty town wields all the power. They've already had two police actions today."
Calleigh: "What about the people?"
Eric: "The people are great."
Calleigh: (smiling) "Are they just everywhere?"
Eric: "That's the thing. Eleven million and it feels less crowded than Miami. It's like they're waiting for something."
Calleigh: "For what?"
Eric: "I don't know. I'll let you know when I find out."

Horatio: (answering his phone) "Hello?"
Calleigh: (slightly concerned) "Is Delko with you?"
Horatio: "No. Why?"
Calleigh: His signal just died. I've been monitoring you guys."
Horatio: "Okay. I know where to find him."

5.02 "Going Under"
Horatio: (by the canal) "What can you remember?"
Calleigh: "It was a blur. It just...just came out of nowhere."
Horatio: (nods) "Okay."
Calleigh: (head in hands) "I'm an unreliable witness."
Horatio: "No worries." (Eric walks up)
Eric: (concerned) "Calleigh, you okay?"
Calleigh: (looks up at him) "Yeah, I'm okay."
Eric: "Somebody doesn't want your evidence to see the light of day. Can you think of anything, something for us to go on?"
Calleigh: (thinking) "The car was black...maybe." (frustrated) "I don't know."
Horatio: "No worries, ma'am. Eric." (walks off to the side to talk to Eric) "I'm gonna need you in the water, Eric."
Eric: "What am I looking for?"
Horatio: "Anything from the other vehicle. And Eric?" (Eric turns to face him) "That Hummer doesn't leave your sight."

Calleigh: (on the phone) "Duquesne."
Eric: (at the canal gathering evidence) "Yeah. Calleigh. Listen, you were right. The vehicle that ran you off the road was black. I turned up a piece of grillwork."
Calleigh: "Are you gonna be able to get a make off of it?"
Eric: "As soon as I do, I'll put out a BOLO, alright?"
Calleigh: "Fantastic. Thanks, Eric."
Eric: "You got it."

5.07 "High Octane"
Calleigh: (walking into the lab behind Eric) "Whoo! 99 bottles of beer on the wall!" (smiling) "You and Ryan collect all these from the parking lot?"
Eric: "Yeah. He's running all extracted liquids, cigarette butts and drug paraphernalia."
Calleigh: (confused) "So he's got DNA and trace...You win the coin toss?"
Eric: (grins) "No. I pulled my seniority card."
Calleigh: (smiling) "Ah. Perfect. Hey, I heard that you had a visitor at the crime scene."
Eric: "Yeah. Some Michael Moore wannabe. I told him to get lost."
Calleigh: "Unfortuanately, I'm afraid someone's gonna get stuck with the guy."
Eric: (grinning) "Well, I can tell you that that somebody is not goin' to be me."
Calleigh: (somewhat sarcastically) "Haha."
Eric: (turning back to the fuming chamber) "All right. Start your engines." (turns on the heat, waits for it to finish; examining the bottles) "Does that look like a tented arch to you?"
Calleigh: (studies the print) "Yeah, it does. It's rare."
Eric: "Very rare. Less than five percent of the population have it. And every one of these bottles has the identical print."
Calleigh: "That would mean that the same guy would have had to have passed all of them out. Must have been the life of the party."

5.13 "Throwing Heat"
Calleigh: (sees Eric) "Hey hot stuff. I thought this was your day off." (smiling)
Eric: (grins) "Yeah. They called me in to testify, but I'm done now."
Calleigh: "Ah, too guilty to take a day off?"
Eric: "Well, you're the same way. You know how it is."
Calleigh: "That's true."
Eric: "What are you working on?"
Calleigh: "A Cuban refugee stepped on a land mine this morning. It's not the typical case. It seems the refugee had quite a bit of money."
Eric: "Really? Well, if he had a lot of money, someone would have been waiting for him." (pause) "Look, I know a bar where Cubans go to get help with their citizenship papers."
Calleigh: "Really? Where?"
Eric: (grins) "Somewhere you'd have a little trouble fitting in. You have a picture?"
Calleigh: "You sure? It's your day off."
Eric: (insisting) "No, no. I'll go. It's on my way home."
Calleigh: "All right."
Eric: "I'll call you if I find anything."

Calleigh: (end of shift; stopping next to Eric) "Are you signing out?"
Eric: (filling out forms) "I won't be signing out for awhile."
Calleigh: (stunned) "Are you having your wages garnished?"
Eric: "Yeah. 20% of every check now goes straight to the court."
Calleigh: (quietly) "To pay off Conners."
Eric: (subdued) "She wins."
Calleigh: (pause; then quietly) "Eric, let me ask you something. Why did you just decide to settle instead of going to court?"
Eric: "Because I don't want anyone looking into this lab more than they have to."
Calleigh: "But you didn't do anything wrong."
Eric: (quietly) "Not in this country, but Horatio and I going to Brazil? That wasn't exactly sanctioned. I need to make this go away and it's gonna take money to do that."
Calleigh: "Is there anything that I can do?"
Eric: "Yeah, I'm gonna have to start pulling some extra shifts, so..."
Calleigh: (nods) "All right. I got your back, so don't worry."
Eric: (smiles slightly) "It's hard not to, but thanks."

5.15 "Man Down"
Ryan: (at the hospital) "Calleigh, dispatch said that Eric is dead. What is going on?"
Calleigh: "I don't know. I'm trying to find out." (to a nurse) "Excuse me. Is there a place where we can give blood to CSI Delko?"
Nurse: "Your friend isn't going to need it anymore."
Ryan: "Are you saying he's dead?"
Nurse: "No. No. I'm saying he's lost too much blood. He's on plasma now to get his volume back up."
Ryan: "All right. I don't understand. Is he okay or is he not okay?"
Nurse: "They're doing everything they can."
Calleigh: "Excuse me. Can we please just get a straight answer? Professional to professional."
Nurse: "Okay. They've been trying to resuscitate him for the last eleven minutes. If he doesn't respond in the next five, they'll call it."

Calleigh: (in the room with Eric; puts a cross pendant and chain in Eric's hand, then closes his fingers around it; walks out to Horatio) "What do you wanna do?"
Horatio: "Catch the guy."

Calleigh: (on the phone with Ryan) "I'm at the hospital. They just recovered the bullet from Delko's head."
Ryan: "That's great." (subdued) "How's, uh...how's he doin'?"
Calleigh: "I'm about to find out."
Ryan: "Oh. Okay. I'll talk to you soon."

Calleigh: (to Eric in a whisper) "Eric. Hey, it's Calleigh."
Eric: (drowsy; still out of it) "Cal..."
Calleigh: (smiles around tears) "You look good." (Eric laughs quietly) "Your parents are on their way. They're gonna be here really soon, and Horatio was here, and Alexx."
Eric: (dazed) "Where's my sister?"
Calleigh: (stunned) "What?"
Eric: "Marisol...where's my sister? I wanna see my sister."
Calleigh: (trying to calm him down) "Hey. Why don't you rest? Just rest."

Calleigh: (at the hospital- walks up to Alexx) "Alexx." (Alexx turns and sees Calleigh fighting tears)
Alexx: "You okay?" (Calleigh tries to smile; Alexx holds up a bag) "It's what they could get of the bullet. I warn you it's not much. The rest is lodged in his temporal lobe."
Calleigh: "He's different."
Alexx: "I tried to catch you before you went in. Patients with a hematoma like Eric's, lack of oxygen, deficits are natural."
Calleigh: "Like what?"
Alexx: "Compromised motor skills, slow speech..."
Calleigh: (quietly) "He thinks Marisol is still alive."
Alexx: "Memory loss..."
Calleigh: (teary) "So what's gonna happen?"
Alexx: "It already has, honey. He just might not be the Eric we know him to be." (Calleigh tears up and nods slowly)

5.16 "Broken Home"
Calleigh: (to Eric as he passes her at the crime scene; with a smile) "Hey." (to Natalia) "It's nice to see Eric back at work."
Natalia: "Yeah. It's pretty amazing- it's only been a few weeks since he was shot." (Calleigh kind of zones out and frowns)

Eric: "You wanted me to bring my kit. Why- what's up?"
Calleigh: "Well, the babysitter was lying and I"m just trying to find out if she's covering for Mr. Montalvo."
Eric: (sees what she's reading) "Are you going over my evidence reports?"
Calleigh: (smiles) "I'm just makin' sure we crossed all our T's."
Eric: "I swabbed the babysitter for blood- she's clean." (pause) "If there's a competence issue, Calleigh, why don't you just say so?"
Calleigh: (trying to be gentle) "You're recovering from a brain injury. I don't think it hurts anybody to be absolutely certain."
Eric: "I know I've been a little slow lately. I've had to relearn the basics on a lot of things, but I do them all step by step and I get them right."
Calleigh: (pause) "I'm looking at these reports and your phenolphthalein test is out of order."
Eric: "No, it can't be."
Calleigh: "I need to see your kit." (looking) "Do you normally keep these reagents in order of application?"
Eric: "Of course."
Calleigh: (pause) "Then I think we have a problem." (pulls out the bottles) "The peroxide and the water are switched, which creates a false negative."
Eric: (disbelieving) "No...no, it can't be."
Calleigh: "I've got H2O, H2O2...it's a really easy mistake." (pause) "It's a big one."
Eric: (upset) "I wouldn't have done that."
Calleigh: (quietly) "You did." (pause) "We may have lost our shot at the killer. We need to figure out how to get this guy."

Calleigh: (to Eric outside of interview) "You ready?"
Eric: (staring straight ahead) "I'm not goin' in."
Calleigh: "Come on. It'll be good for your confidence."
Eric: "No. You were right. I made a mistake that almost cost us the case."
Calleigh: (quietly; trying to be encouraging) "Hey. You were the one who figured out the murder weapon. You broke the case."
Eric: (shaking his head) "I came back too soon."
Calleigh: (pause) "All right. I'll go this one alone, but we can't do it without you."

5.21 "Just Murdered"
Calleigh: (interrupting) "Eric, could I speak to you for just a moment?" (to Carmen) "Excuse us." (on the side) "Unfortunately, you do know her. Right before the accident, you helped her out and she sued you."
Eric: (confused) "Sued me for what?"
Calleigh: "I'll explain it to you later, but you didn't do anything wrong." (pause) "Eric, you've got the shoeprint from the Lamborghini to process, so how about you take that and I'll handle her."
Eric: "Yeah, okay. Thanks."
Carmen: (to Calleigh as Eric passes her) "What's Officer Delko trying to pull, pretending like he doesn't recognize me?"
Calleigh: (trying to be diplomatic) "Look, Carmen, you're gonna get your check. It's just that Delko has been out on medical leave and his paycheck garnishment hasn't kicked in yet."
Carmen: "Medical for what?"
Calleigh: "It's none of your business."
Carmen: "Will if affect my settlement?"
Calleigh: (disgusted) "If you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my job. Some of us work for a living." (walks away)

Calleigh: (in the lab)"That dust lift you collected is pristine."
Eric: "Thanks. I'm comparing it against the pool boy's shoes now. These must be his favorite pair. They've got a nice wear pattern in them."
Calleigh: "Is it unique enough for a match?"
Eric: (checks the sample) "I'll tell you what- why don't you tell me?" (smirking as he turns the sample towards her)
Calleigh: (studies the comparison) "That's a match. We've got him for killing our Lambourginhi guy."
Eric: "Yeah." (pause) "Calleigh, I've been wanting to thank you for taking care of that girl today."
Calleigh: (smiles; shrugs it off) "It's not problem. You would've done the same thing for me."
Eric: "Yeah. It's just that you've helped me out a lot this year."
Calleigh: (stands) "Well, I appreciate you for appreciating me." (kisses his cheek, then leaves; Natalia passes Calleigh as she comes in)
Natalia: "What was that all about?"
Eric: "Nothing."

Calleigh: (walking into the lab) "Hey."
Eric: (looking up at her; discouraged) "Hey."
Calleigh: "You know you didn't do anything wrong." (getting upset at the idea) "That lawyer is sleazy. They're using you as a scapegoat for a client."
Eric: "No. Everything Wakeman said was true."
Calleigh: (quietly) "There's truth and there's relevance."
Eric: "Look, all I know is we lost a key piece of evidence that could have convicted the pool boy."
Calleigh: "You heard Horatio. We know he killed Lockland. All we have to do here is find another way."
Eric: "No, you need to find another way. I'm on desk duty."
Calleigh: (gestures at the lab table) "Looks like a desk to me." (mischievously) "Besides, have you got something?"
Eric: (holds out the picture) "Yeah. Pool boy's arm- look at the ant bites."
Calleigh: "You mean how they only go halfway up his arm?"
Eric: "That's right. When we picked him up, he had a short-sleeved shirt on. The ants, they would have swarmed further up his arm."
Calleigh: "You think maybe he was wearing something over it when he killed him?"
Eric: "Yeah, I think a jacket with elastic at the end of the sleeves."
Calleigh: "I bet I know where to find it."

Calleigh: (looks up as Eric comes in, smiling) "Well, I haven't seen that smile for a while."
Eric: "Horatio's having Wakeman disbarred. Means I'm greenlit to go back in the field."
Calleigh: (standing and smiling) "Well, all right. Grab your kit. We're going to the Atherton house, see if we can find a murder weapon."

5.22 "Burned"
Natalia: "So, um, so Calleigh seems to have taken an interest in you since you got back."
Eric: (smiles) "Yeah. Yeah, she's, uh, she's been great. Very helpful. Everyone has."
Natalia: (smirking) "Yeah. Not really what I meant, though."
Eric: "What?" (grins)
Natalia: (laughing) "Nothing. Never mind."
Eric: "What? You thought me and Calleigh...?"
Natalia: "I saw her kiss you."
Eric: (smiling and shaking his head) "Yeah, only on the cheek."
Natalia: (shrugs) "I"m, uh, just...sayin'."

Eric: (catching Calleigh as she comes out of the elevator) "Hey."
Calleigh: "Hey."
Eric: "You got anything on Ron Cramer?"
Calleigh: (walking through the lab) "He copped to being outside the house, but claimed he never went in."
Eric: "Well, now we can prove it. Fire Rescue just released the scene, so we can go back in."
Calleigh: "Great. I'll grab my kit. You wanna ride together?"
Eric: (smiles) "Sure."

5.23 "Kill Switch"
Eric: (walking in, seeing Calleigh smile as she talks on the phone; she hangs up) "Hey. Great to see that smile."
Calleigh: "Um, it's nothing."
Eric: "Was that Jake?"
Calleigh: "Um, yeah. I told him that if people would stop killing each other, we could have a proper meal."

5.24 "Born to Kill"
Calleigh: (walking with Eric) "I spoke to the ER. Jake's gonna be all right."
Eric: (sarcastically) "Oh, I'm sure he would love for you to go visit him in the hospital."
Calleigh: (pause; quietly) "Yeah, you know what? I came to see you at the hospital, too."
Eric: "Yeah, that was different."
Calleigh: (heated) "It is different, because you and I work together."
Eric: (retorting) "You work with Jake, too."
Calleigh: "He's in homicide. You and I are in the lab day and night." (pause; quietily) "You know that I trust you with my life. I don't even know how I feel about Jake yet."
Eric: (pause; smiling to lighten the mood) "All right. Maybe we should get back to work." (metal detector goes off) "We've got something." (digs up handcuffs) "Somebody cut the handcuffs off, then buried them. It confirms he's got an accomplice."
Calleigh: "Lucky for us no one stepped on 'em. Whoever kicked the dirt around it left a real nice footprint. It's a biker boot."
Eric: "And I know exactly which biker."

4.05 "Three- Way"
Calleigh: (getting in the elevator) "Who borrowed the back up kit last?"
Eric: "I did."
Calleigh: "There are no swabs, evidence bags and the mag light's dead."
Eric: "I forgot to restock it. Sorry."
Calleigh: "Let me borrow some of yours." (opens his kit)
Eric: "Actually, I need those."
Calleigh: "But I don't have any..." (taking stuff from his kit)
Eric: "Could you at least leave me an extra pair of gloves?" (smirking)
Calleigh: "Yes. Yours don't fit me anyway."

4.08 "Nailed"
Ryan: (to Calleigh as Eric walks over) "Oh, there he is." (to Eric) "Nice of you to show up."
Eric: (heated) "What's your problem, Wolfe?"
Ryan: "Must be nice to work on Delko time- cherry pick cases, show up when you want..."
Eric: "I had something I had to take care of." (to Calleigh) "Now, you need any help, Calleigh?"
Ryan: "Yo, Eric. It's too little, too late."
Eric: (in Ryan's face) "If I thought that you could even understand what I'm going through, I'd explain it to you."
Calleigh: (stepping in between them) "Okay. You know what? That is enough. I get it. Eric, we are fine. If we need extra help, I will call you." (to Ryan) "You, in the elevator with me. We're leaving now." (walks away)
Ryan: (in elevator) "You always take his side."
Calleigh: (quietly) "Funny. He always says the same thing about you."

Calleigh: (sees Eric talking to Marisol; walks over as Marisol leaves) "Hey Eric. She's a pretty girl."
Eric: "Yeah. Look I, uh, I was just going in to see Wolfe's doctor, get the nail."
Calleigh: (nods) "I already picked it up."
Eric: "Beat me to it."
Calleigh: (nods; seriously) "Hey Eric, whatever you've got going on with that girl, you need to do it on your own time, okay?"
Eric: "Before I lose my job?"
Calleigh: (smiles slightly) "Before you lose respect."

4.09 "Urban Hellraisers"
Calleigh: (as Eric scans through a database) "How many people are in there?"
Eric: (with a grin) "17,000 guys."
Calleigh: "Oh my God" (smiles) "Looks like you're in for some overtime." (walking out) "Let me know."
Eric: (calling after her) "Will do."

3.02 "Pro Per"
Eric: (to Middlebrook) "Sir, you have no right to come into this lab."
Middlebrook: "Law says, as a pro per defendant, I can inspect this facility."
Calleigh: "The law says that you can hire a court certified expert to examine the evidence and the procedure in the lab."
Middlebrook: "Who's the best one? Give me some names, Britney." (snidely)
Eric: "Look, your legal aid can help you out with that. In the meantime, you need to leave."
Middlebrook: "Apparently, all y'all not hearing me!"
Eric: "No, I'm hearing you just fine."
Middlebrook: "Okay, then just get out of my way, Jack. Allow me to exercise my rights." (tries to swagger past; Eric pushes him back) "Oh. Oh ho! Now you done did it! You messed up! You assaulted an officer of the court!"
Calleigh: (stepping in) "You know what, Mr. Middlebrook? We will be happy to forward all of the appropriate legal documents through the right channels. You have every right to use your power of subpoena."
Middlebrook: "Power of subpoena...A'ight. I'm goin' play your little game." (looks back as he walks away; with a smirk) "I'll get with you."
Calleigh: (to Eric when the elevator closes) "You undermined me."
Eric: (stunned) "What?!"
Calleigh: (quietly) "You made it look like I couldn't stand my ground."
Eric: "I thought you could use a little help."
Calleigh: "I know, but I had it under contol."
Eric: (slightly angry) "From my point of view, it looked like he was gonna run a blitz on you. I'm sorry that I tried to help." (walks away)
Calleigh: (quietly) "So am I."

Calleigh: (walking into the lab) "Hey. Did you use a small particle reagent on Middlebrook's weapon?"
Eric: "Yeah, and I got zero prints."
Calleigh: "What about Sudan Black?"
Eric: "Did it. Nothing."
Calleigh: (grasping) "Jessin Violet?"
Eric: "I tried them all, Calleigh, and there are no prints on that gun." (smiles) "If I didn't know better, I'd say you're trying to undermine me."
Calleigh: "Oh." (sheepishly) "I'm sorry. I probably played right into Middlebrook's hands by squabbling with you like that."
Eric: (grinning) "It's okay. We're cool."
Calleigh: "You know, I admire you. This case is falling apart and you are staying right on keel."
Eric: "It's because I just found something interesting."
Calleigh: "Fingerprints?"
Eric: (showing her) "Four digits. Pulled this off the boat."
Calleigh: (looking at the prints) "They're interrupted."
Eric: "That's not the interesting part. Try a look through the loupe."
Calleigh: (studying the prints) "There's foreign residue. I can barely see it."
Eric: "I've still got to analyze it."

3.04 "Murder in a Flash"
Calleigh: (walking into the lab) "Anything on Danny's clothes?"
Eric: "Our Danny was a real player. Found some red lipstick on his boxer shorts."
Calleigh: (surprised) "Really?"
Eric: "Yes, but the components were a little strange." (hands her the printout with a confused look on his face)
Calleigh: "Ginger, cinnamon, oil of wintergreen- that's lip plumper." (reading off the results)
Eric: (more confused) "Lip what?"
Calleigh: (laughs) "It's the latest in beauty trickery. The ingredients make all the blood rush to the lips and stain."
Eric: "And what's the purpose?"
Calleigh: (pouts) "To look like Angelina Jolie."
Eric: (understanding) "Ah...I like that."
Calleigh: (looking at other evidence) "Did you determine what's in the tread?"
Eric: "Yeah. It's a unique mixture. Take a look." (gestures to the microscope) "Ground oyster shells."

3.07 "Speed Kills"
Calleigh: (walking into the lab) "What ya doin'?"
Eric: (looking up) "Confirming Mary Kinnon's story. She poured at least four liters on Richard Laken's car. It's evaporated in 30 minutes."
Calleigh: "Yeah, it was gone when we got there."
Eric: "So, if Richard Laken was murdered while his car was being vandalized, the acetone would've still been wet, and dripped on his shoe. I checked- there's not a drop."
Calleigh: "Meaning she ruined his paint job at intermission, not at the end of the night."
Eric: "Meaning our divorcee was telling the truth."
Ryan: (walking in) "Hey guys. Alexx called. She's got Richard Laken on deck."
Calleigh: (Eric smiles mischievously) "You go." (looking away and smiling)
Ryan: "To the autopsy?"
Eric: "Yeah, to the autopsy. What, are you scared?"
Ryan: "No. Not at all. I'll go...Thanks, guys."
Calleigh: "Have fun." (Ryan walks out)
Eric: (laughing) "It's a head trauma, right?"
Calleigh: (laughing) "Uh-huh."

Alexx: (to Ryan, after seeing his face when she pulled the skull out of the pot) "Ryan, you okay?"
Ryan: (looking sick) "I think I understand why Calleigh and Eric sent me."
Alexx: "Why don't you go over to trace? I'll finish up here." (Ryan nods and walks out; Alexx tries not to laugh)

Eric: (walking in) "So how'd it go in autopsy?"
Ryan: "I handled it." (Eric smirks) "Who hazed you?"
Eric: "Speedle. Headless woman. Freaked me out a little, too."

Calleigh: (at the crime scene) "Hey, Eric, would you check this out? Does this look like it belongs here to you?"
Eric: (studying Calleigh's find) "Definitely not. Looks like caked gravel, maybe crushed stone."
Calleigh: "But the color's off, like it's been treated."
Eric: (figuring it out) "It's cast stone, a durable building material. A-list architects use it. You put the right finish on it, it looks just like granite."

3.20 "Killer Date"
Eric: (frustrated) "My badge is being used in murders and I've got no one to blame but myself."
Calleigh: (quietly) "If it helps, this is atypical behavior for you."
Eric: "Stetler seems to think this has something to do with Speedle."
Calleigh: "That's interesting."
Eric: "You know what I think of Stetler."

3.23 "Whacked"
Calleigh: (pulling on gloves) "We need to examine Mike Lewis' clothes."
Eric: "Speedle already did- 5 years ago."
Calleigh: (quietly) "You need to move past it, Eric...And I think you were a little hard on Ryan earlier."
Eric: (getting angry) "You're always protecting him."
Calleigh: "Speedle's case has been reopened and I know that you're frustrated, but you can't start taking it out on other people."
Eric: (sarcastically) "So are you goin' to analyze me now?"
Calleigh: "How are things goin' with the union shrink?"
Eric: "They're going." (pause) "Why don't we just get to this."
Calleigh: "I just know from my own experience that when people are upset they make mistakes."
Eric: (sarcastically) "Yeah. Thanks for the vote of confidence."
Calleigh: (quietly; gently) "Eric, I trust you with every fiber of my being...and you know that, okay?" (pause) "Will you walk me through Speedle's original examinations?" (Eric smiles slightly as she looks at him hopefully)

3.24 "10-7"
Eric: (walking into firearms) "Everything okay?"
Calleigh: (studying the test weapons cage) "I wish people would stop asking me that."
Eric: "Calleigh, you had a gun pointed at your head. I'd be pissed if people weren't asking."
Calleigh: "I need to figure out who was at the crime scene. They saw me notice the void."
Eric: "So there's a chance they took the evidence. The void looks like it's about three by four inches. You don't want to try the booking photos?"
Calleigh: "I never saw him." (still studying her arsenal)
Eric: (confused) "So how are you gonna make an ID?"
Calleigh: (opening the cage to pull out a gun) "One click at a time."

Alexx: (to Eric; worried) "She won't go."
Eric: "She can't work it. She knows that."
Alexx: "You try telling her, Eric. Either way, I've got to get Hagen's body out."
Eric: "All right." (going over to Calleigh) "Calleigh, I'm really sorry this happened to you." (pause) "I'm gonna go out and grap a cup of coffee or something."
Calleigh: (ironic laugh) "It should be my case."
Eric: "You know it doesn't work like that. You're a material witness."
Calleigh: "Well, then put Camden on from nights. He's solid."
Eric: "Okay. We'll keep you informed every step." (trying to get her to leave) "Come on."
Calleigh: "I've got 12 open cases. I need to get back in there." (Alexx and her team start out to the morgue) "Wait."
Alexx: "Calleigh. Honey, let him go."
Calleigh: "There's something in his jacket."
Eric: (pulling out a paper) "It's our dead bomber, with some weather report. Smoke damaged."
Calleigh: "It's what caused the void. That's why John put the gun to my head. He was afraid I'd see him."
Eric: "Why would Hagen take a piece of evidence fro his own case?"
Calleigh: (shrugs) "Because the right piece of evidence can make you a hero."
Eric: "And then he couldn't put it back."
Calleigh: "I guess he felt he'd run out of options."

2.02 "Dead Zone"
Calleigh: (on the boat) "What'd you find?"
Eric: (smirking as he takes off his gear) "I swear I saw a mermaid."
Calleigh: (laughs) "Dream on, Diver Man."

2.03 "Death Grip"
Calleigh: (walking over) "Hey. You okay?"
Eric: (angry) "Blonde girl's missing and the National Guard turns out to help. Hispanic girl and no one gives a damn."
Calleigh: (looks back at the group) "I think there are a lot of people here."
Eric: (really pissed) "Oh, come on, Calleigh. You saw the media's response to Lana Walker. Where...where were the yellow ribbons for Consuela Valdez? The Recovery Center? The same song, you know. You want any real attention in this world, you gotta have blonde hair and blue eyes!" (pauses, looks at Calleigh) "No offense."
Calleigh: (smiles at him) "None taken. My eyes are green."
Eric: (quietly) "I'm just mad we couldn't save her."
Calleigh: (pause; quietly) "Let's go get this guy."
Eric: (nods) "Okay." (Calleigh takes his arm and walks back with him)

2.04 "Hard Time"
Horatio: (at the crime scene, to Calleigh) "By the way, I thought Eric had the call out."
Calleigh: (quietly) "He got caught in traffic."
Horatio: "Just him?" (drops the subject)

Eric: (catching up to Calleigh) "Hey Calleigh."
Calleigh: (rushing into the lab) "Hey."
Eric: "Hey listen. Thanks for taking that DB call out at that condo. I really appreciate it."
Calleigh: "Sure."
Eric: "You know how traffic's a ***** getting over to Biscayne..."
Calleigh: (opens the door with a slight fake smile) "Yeah, people say..."
Eric: (follows her in) "Everything go okay?"
Calleigh: (cataloguing evidence) "Uh, let's see. We may have a timeline off some wood, got some shoe prints, possible DNA off of a Kleenex...oh, and the dead girl wasn't dead."
Eric: (shocked) "What?!"
Calleigh: "No, she was hangin' on by a thread."
Eric: (disbelieving) "You're kidding!" (notices Calleigh's silence) "Where is she?"
Calleigh: "Over at Grace Memorial." (finally looking at him) "By the grace of God, I might add."

Speedle: (checking evidence) "So...is Calleigh mad at you?"
Eric: "I don't know. I can't tell."
Speedle: "Well, then she's probably mad at you."

2.05 "Best Defense"
Calleigh: (peeking at the evidence) "That looks like it could've been done with a screwdriver."
Eric: (smiling) "I thought you were going to be hands off."
Calleigh: (smiling and showing her hands before putting them behind her back) "Do you see any hands?" (pause) "But you're gonna check it, right?"
Eric: "Yes. As a matter of fact, I'm just finishing up right now." (pause) "You're worse than Hagen."
Calleigh: "Did Hagen ask you to check that?" (surprised)
Eric: "No, actually. He asked me not to bother."
Calleigh: (pause) "That's interesting."
Eric: (checking the analysis) "Hmm. The indent matches the business end of the screwdriver. And there isn't a drop of blood on it."
Calleigh: "So it could've been the boyfriend's first act of aggression."
Duke: (at the door) "Which could mean that everything she did after that was self defense."
Calleigh: (turning and smiling) "Dad, you walk as quiet as a mouse."
Duke: (to Eric) "Young man, you're gonna put that in your report, right?" (Eric nods) "Okay then. Got a case to prepare."
Calleigh: "That's just a start, Dad."
Duke: "I know there's other stuff to analyze, but that colleague of yours, Detective Hagen? I'm gonna put him in the box, get his feet to the fire." (fails to see the look on Calleigh's face) "Uh-huh. All right. Bye, sweetie." (to Eric) "I appreciate it, young man."
Eric: "Just doing my job, sir." (to Calleigh after an awkward silence) "Your old man doesn't know about you and Hagen, does he?"
Calleigh: (turning; surprised) "I didn't know that you knew."
Eric: (smiling) "Oh, right. Big Secret."
Calleigh: "Does everybody know?"
Eric: (smiling again) "Calleigh, we're CSIs. I mean, if we can't figure out something goin' on between two people..."

2.07 "Grand Prix"
Eric: "Calleigh, when you're done admiring the wax job, we've got a car to process." (grins)
Calleigh: (shrugs) "Just savoring the moment."
Eric: "Yeah, I know what you mean. These champ cars are the most sophisticated vehicles you'll see besides the space shuttle." (pause) "I didn't know you're a race fan."
Calleigh: "Oh, I'm not. I like a car just for itself, not for how fast it goes compared to other cars." (smiles)
Eric: (shocked) "Are you kidding me? I mean, racing is one of the only pure sports left. Fastest guy around the track wins. No ifs, ands or buts."
Calleigh: "With the exception of Jimmy Hutton. He hardly ever wins, but he's very cute."
Eric: "He's also missing in action."
Calleigh: (surprised) "Really?"

Calleigh: (walking over) "Hey. How's it comin' with the samples?"
Eric: (collecting samples) "Got everything our human torch might've touched- hose, rags, floormats- and I put 'em in these paint cans."
Calleigh: "Oh, that's good. That'll contain any vapors until we can identify our mystery accelerant."
Eric: "Only one problem- I haven't been able to get any control samples."
Calleigh: "Really? Did you check with the other pits, 'cause I would think that they would have plenty of samples."
Eric: "Been asking all morning, but no one's been jumpin' up to volunteer."
Calleigh: (smiles at him playfully) "Well maybe you just haven't been askin' the right way." (smiles and walks over to the drivers; Eric grins) "Excuse me. I was wondering if y'all could give me a hand."
Paolo: "Anything you want...if you let me show you my car."
Calleigh: (looks over at Eric; smiles) "I'd like that."

2.10 "Extreme"
Calleigh: (collecting evidence) "Have you talked to Eric?"
Speedle: (taking pictures) "No. He's really screwing up."
Calleigh: (playfully) "He must have a new lady friend."

Calleigh: (walking into the lab) "Hey, prize fighter."
Eric: (looking up) "Hey." (pause) "More like prize punching bag." (continues collecting evidence)
Calleigh: (recognizing the shirt he's working on) "That's your shirt. Did you forget your lint brush?"
Eric: "No. Just lookin' for evidence."
Calleigh: (smiling) "Okay. Let me get this straight: You were walking by, you found a chop shop. You stopped and got into a fight."
Eric: "Not exactly."
Calleigh: (smiling; teasingly) "How old is she?"
Eric: (seriously) "It's not like that." (Calleigh stares at him disbelievingly) "Seriously." (finds contact lense)
Calleigh: "Is that yours?"
Eric: "Nope. It's the bad guy's. It's all dried out."
Calleigh: "If you check the prescription, you might get something off it."
Eric: "Actually, I think I have another idea."
Calleigh: (leaving) "Okay, I'm gonna be doing some business in the AV lab if you need me."

2.11 "Complications"
Calleigh: (teasingly) "Are you tied up?"
Eric: (grinning as he analyzes the rope) "Cute."
Calleigh: "Did somebody beat me to it?"
Eric: (looking up and laughing) "How about the entire shift?"

2.14 "Stalkerazzi"
Calleigh: (watching him curiously) "What are you doin'?"
Eric: "Makin' a kinescope." (continues gathering photos)
Calleigh: "A what?"
Eric: (smiling) "It's a little experiment, okay? You'll just have to wait and see."
Calleigh: (realizing what he's doing) "Oh! It's a flip book."
Eric: "Check out the heads." (flipping the pages)
Calleigh: "They're definitely looking at something."
Eric: "See the birds? Something startled them- a noise or something."
Calleigh: (looking up at him) "The ghost image is probably a gunshot."

Eric: (in firearms) "Hey. So, uh, what's the deal with the camera?"
Calleigh: (smiling mischievously) "Just a little experiment. You're gonna have to wait and see." (showing him the pictures) "There's no starburst."
Eric: (confused) "What's the translation for that?"
Calleigh: "Okay. The photo on the left is from the propl gun Danny Kato gave Horatio. The photo on the right is from a real 9- millimeter that belongs to us."
Eric: (studies the photos) "Okay. The muzzle flashes are different."
Calleigh: "Exactly. And a muzzle flash is basically a combination of hot dust and carbon monoxide followed by a projectile. Now, prop pistols don't use a projectile."
Eric: "Yeah, but they're still dangerous. I mean..."
Calleigh: "Yes, potentially. What prop pistols use is a blank firing device and it creates a slide that causes a star-shaped burst."
Eric: "The muzzle flash from Danny Kato's house has no starburst pattern, so it was a real gun."
Calleigh: "And he also lied about owning a gun."
Eric: "He registered a firearm?"
Calleigh: "9- mil."

2.15 "Invasion"
Calleigh: (walking with Eric; whining) "That's not fair. Why do you get to go?"
Eric: "Because I was there when Horatio ordered the helicopter."
Calleigh: "But if you're gonna search the whole city by air, don't you need an extra set of eyes?"
Eric: (waiting for the elevator) "We're just working Zeller's and Davis' comfort zones. Thermal viewer." (getting in the elevator)
Calleigh: "The body's cold by now!"
Eric: "The thermal viewer can detect vegetation distress caused by proximity to a decaying cadaver."
Calleigh: (pouting; as the elevator doors close) "I expect pictures."

Eric: (searching the parking lot in the Hummer) "Do you remember H said Davis had a souped up car?"
Calleigh: "Something about an after market spoiler." (finds the car, with Davis dead in the front seat) "Well, that explains why he never clocked in." (finds the weapon) "I've got a sawed off .22 rifle. Got our shooter. Three bullets to the chest. Maybe the guilt got to him."
Eric: (on the other side of the car) "Well, if you don't believe that, he left a suicide note." (reading) "Forgive me. I didn't know that this would happen and I deserve to die. Signed Steven Davis." (looking at Calleigh) "I don't know. Suicide with three bullets in his chest? I don't buy that."
Calleigh: "22-caliber might take three. I've seen it." (pulls out a swab) "I'm gonna test for GSR."
Eric: (surprised) "You're gonna touch the body before the ME?"
Calleigh: "I'm not. The swab is." (tests) "Blue. Gun shot residue."
Eric: "Question is were his hands the only ones involved?" (finds hair) "I've got a dark hair here. Might be Zeller's."
Calleigh: "Gonna take more than hair color to nail Zeller."
Eric: (grins) "That's what the DNA lab is for."

2.18 "Wannabe"
Eric: (outside the club) "All right. You ready for a little dumpster diving?"
Calleigh: (stalling) "Ummm...okay. You know I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I mean, maggots, wet trash- I am the first one in."
Eric: (smiling) "Okay...So what are you waiting for?"
Calleigh: "Ants."
Eric: (laughs) "Ants."
Calleigh: (flipping out) "Yes, I have got a problem with ants. They are sneaky, they are mobile and when they get on you, even if you get them off..."
Eric: (cutting her off) "Okay, Calleigh, chill. I'll take care of it. You...can get our next floater."
Calleigh: (breathing a sigh of relief) "I would love that. Thank you."

Eric: (in the lab with the aquarium of ants) "I'll get this."
Calleigh: (taking a deep breath) "No. The best way to deal with fear is to face it, right?"
Eric: (chuckles) "Absolutely."
Calleigh: (climbs into the aquarium and roots around until she finds the lottery ticket; quickly hops back up to sit on the edge of the aquarium) "$250,000 winner."
Eric: (takes the ticket) "Now it's evidence." (helps Calleigh down the ladder)
Calleigh: (making a beeline for the restroom) "I'll just be a minute."
Eric: (chuckling) "Stragglers?"
Calleigh: (continuing out of the room) "A few."

2.21 "Not Landing"
Eric: (following the scanner) "Ten dollars says it's the business partner, Wes Gallagher."
Calleigh: (smiling at the challenge) "Oh, you're on. I'll take Maken, the resident stud."
Eric: (grins) "All right, you're on."
Calleigh: (following the scanner; stopping and smiling at him over her shoulder) "Ten dollars, please."
Eric: (smirks and hands over the money) "At least it buys us a warrant."

Calleigh: (walking in) "Reality TV. Can I watch?"
Eric: "Sure. Have a seat."
Calleigh: "Tell me when I have to look away."
Eric: (shaking his head) "That's the thing. You never do."
Calleigh: (surprised) "Really? Why?"
Eric: (smirking) "I'm thinking Mr. Latham needs to see a doctor about the little blue pill."
Calleigh: "That explains why he didn't want us to watch the tape."

2.23 "MIA/NYC- Non-Stop"
Eric: (walking in) "Hey, Cal."
Calleigh: (looking up from the microscope) "We narrowed the geographical profile of our suspect."
Eric: (laughs) "What'd he do, hock up his address?"
Calleigh: "Yeah. Take a look."
Eric: "What is it?"
Calleigh: (reading the printout) "Mercury, asbestos and lead. Kerosene, distilled petroleum...it's jet fuel."
Eric: "Ground zero."
Calleigh: (looking up at him) "There are thousands of cases of upper respiratory inflammation reported by people who were living in the vicinity of the 9/11 attacks. So I'm thinking our suspect routinely expectorates phlegm in order to clear his throat."
Eric: "Dad might've been in New York on business during 9/11."
Calleigh: "Except I don't think the Spellmans are the kind of people who spit in the house. I'm gonna compare the DNA to the parents, but I'm thinking the spit belongs to our killer."
Eric: "They call Miami the sixth burrow. Guy might have moved down here- to be a local by now."
Calleigh: "I'll check local databases."

1.03 "Wet Foot/Dry Foot"
Eric: (walking with Calleigh) "Hey Calleigh. Listen, I was wondering if, uh, maybe I could crash at your place tonight. I'm trying to keep a low profile and H has been stirring up the neighborhood."
Calleigh: "You know how he is- he's like a dog with a bone."
Eric: "Yeah, well, he needs to learn how to let go, because this girl's family doesn't care about solving the crime. Their niece is already dead. You know, they're thinking we gotta protect the living."
Calleigh: "I can't say I blame them." (checking her test results while he waits by the door; smiles) "On the couch. No midnight tiptoe. Deal?"
Eric: (grins) "Deal." (walks up behind her)
Calleigh: "Check this out." (puts the results on the screen) "Bullet on the left- Elena DeSoto's leg. Bullet on the right- from John Doe torso."
Eric: "They're twins."
Calleigh: "They're triplets. They also match the bullet you guys pulled out of the Luna Nueva."
Eric: "Must have been some massacre on that boat."
Calleigh: (quietly) "Did your parents make that journey?"
Eric: (smiles) "Actually, we all did." (Calleigh looks at him) "I was in my mother's belly."

1.13 "Bunk"
Eric: (walking towards the crime scene) "I'd never put my grandmother in a place like this. When she dies, she's gonna be in my house, with our priest, surrounded by family."
Calleigh: (smiling and walking beside him) "Oh, not my grandma. I want every day for her to be New Year's Eve- drinking mimosas, givin' old men a hard time."
Eric: (chuckles) "Southern."
Calleigh: "Cuban."

1.14 "Forced Entry"
Eric: (to Alexx after she puts a hand in the microwave) "Let her rip."
Calleigh: Wait! Y'all actin' like this is no big deal. That's someone's hand!"
Alexx: "Calleigh, you've picked up body parts before."
Calleigh: (nervously) "Yeah, but I've never microwaved one, and it...sort of freaks me out that y'all have." (pauses as they look at her; reaches for the keypad) "Okay then, I'll do it." (pushes start; sparks fly)
Eric: "Oh. Fireworks."
Alexx: "It must be something metal."

1.15 "Dead Woman Walking"
Speedle: (to Eric) "What's up?"
Eric: (walking over to Speedle and Calleigh) "Guy said my exposure was equal to what a pilot would get on a flight to Paris."
Calleigh: (smiling) "Well, next time take the trip to Paris. It'll be easier on all of us."
Eric: "Tell me about it. I heard radioactivity can cause temporary infertility."
Speedle: (sarcastically) "So you and your girlfriend are temporarily in luck."
Eric: "Yeah, or terminally screwed."
RC Guy: (to Eric) "Hey. Heard you're worried about havin' children?" (gives Eric a radiation meter) "That should keep you safe."

1.17 "Simple Man"
Calleigh: (walking with Eric) "Hey, where's that pistol?"
Eric: "I checked it into evidence a couple hours ago. What are you talking about?"
Calleigh: "You mean it's just been sitting there?"
Eric: "Yeah. I paged you and you never answered."
Calleigh: "I turned my pager off when I was on the range."
Eric: "Well, I tried to get in touch with you."
Calleigh: (frazzled) "It's just I've been chained to the lab with a 54-round shooting that was supposed to be processed 12 hours ago."
Eric: "Yeah, well I spent the same 12 hours inhaling sewage at the bottom of the Tamiami Canal. So everyone's got a sad story."
Calleigh: (deep breath, then steps toward him and puts her hands on his waist) "I'm sorry."
Eric: (rubs his hands up her arms) "Me too."
Calleigh: (deep breath) "Okay." (walks away)

Calleigh: (trying to test the suspected weapon) "Misfire." (tries again; nothing) "Okay. We've got a problem."
Eric: "Can't get a test fire."
Calleigh: (takes off her goggles as he takes off his headset) "Not with this weapon, and not in the amount of time we have left."
Eric: "What's your plan B?"
Calleigh: "Gun vault." (walks into the gun vault; smiling) "Be still my heart."

1.18 "Dispo Day"
Eric: (looking up as Calleigh takes a soda from the fridge) "Uh-uh. Cola has caffeine."
Calleigh: (pauses; rolls her eyes at herself) "Oh, you're right. Thank you." (walks over to him)
Eric: "You nervous?"
Calleigh: "Well, I think if I passed the polygraph that got me through the academy it should be smooth sailing. Are you?"
Eric: (grins sheepishly) "I don't know. Stuff like this makes me feel guilty."
Calleigh: (smiling and laughing) "Why do you feel guilty when you haven't done anything?"
Eric: (grins) "I'm Catholic. I don't know. I always feel guilty."

1.20 "Grave Young Men"
Eric: (at the door) "Hey. How's it look?"
Calleigh: (running the x-ray machine) "Like a starry, starry night. We've got rifle ammo, some buck shot...come on in. Take a look for yourself."
Eric: (hesitantly) "Nah, I can't find another lead apron, and Alexx isn't around."
Calleigh: (tongue in cheek) "Well then, by all means, stay out." (smiles; Eric grins)

1.21 "Spring Break"
Eric: (looking into the pool) "He hasn't been down there long. It usually takes awhile for the body to float. The body gases have to have time to build up."
Calleigh: (smiling at him) "I guess somebody's getting wet."
Eric: (grins) "Music to my ears." (strips down as the girls in the crowd cheer; dives in)
Girl: "Excuse me, ma'am?"
Calleigh: "Yeah?"
Girl: "Can we talk to you?"
Calleigh: "If you promise not to call me ma'am." (smiles)
Girl: "Your friend is totally hot. Do you know if he has a girlfriend?"
Calleigh: (turning away, embarrassed) "Not currently."
Girl: "Well, how old is he?"

Eric: (watching the girls) "Cute girls."
Calleigh: "Yeah, they thought you were cute, too."
Eric: (grinning) "Yeah? What'd they say?"
Calleigh: "They were wondering if you had a younger brother." (smiling)
Eric: (laughs) "Funny."

Chapter 16: Diversion

outlaw393 — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:45:13 CST

We drove for a few minutes. We didn’t do a whole lot of talking. From what I could tell, both of us were tired but feeling calm and collected at the moment. “So…” I began, “You know that I trust you more than anyone. But what about you? Do you trust me?” He hesitated. I sensed that he didn’t really know what to say at first. “Yes,” He replied, “I trust you.” “But how much?” I asked again, squinting at him with a slight smile on my face, “Would you trust me with your life?” More hesitation. He eventually nodded. “Yes, I would. I trust that you love me enough that you’d protect me with your own life. Just as I’d do the same for you.” I nodded. I looked around suddenly and realized he wasn’t driving us in the location of the safe house. “Hey, wait a minute,” I began, “Where are you taking us?” He looked over at me and gave me that cute smile. “I have a surprise for you.” “Surprise?” “Yeah. It’s almost sunset and I’m sure you’ll love it.” I returned his smile, I couldn’t help it. “You’re plotting something again.” “I am. Why don’t you trust me on this, and wait for me to show you?” I nodded and sighed. I began to recognize the area slightly. Mostly from my years of playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. It very much resembled that. We pulled out onto a main street. To the right were palm trees lining the street. Beyond that was a very long beach. Beyond THAT was a beautiful sunset that absolutely stunned me. He caught me off guard when he pulled the hummer off the road and began driving toward the beach off-road. “What are you doing?” “Driving us onto the beach.” He drove us about seventy yards off of the road and stopped the hummer. We both got out. We both walked around in front of the hummer and I stopped. He stood at my side. I was stunned beyond words at first. “I knew you’d love it.” I glanced at him. “Yeah. It’s beautiful.” “It’s quite a trip off of our planned route to the safe house but I figured a diversion would be nice.” “It is very nice. Thank you. I needed this.” “I know. That’s why I brought you here. Today has been a long day and a lot has happened. I want you to know that you don’t need to worry. And…I want you to know how much I love you.” He paused. The colors in the sunset were beginning to dim, but it was still unbelievably pretty. “I’d do anything for you. And just like you told me…you don’t need to be alone anymore. I know that other men have broken your heart before. I would never hurt you. I know that you need me, and I’m here. And I love you…more than anything in this world.” “I know that you’d never hurt me, baby…that’s why I trust you. I know how much you love me because I can feel it too. And…I haven’t been alone…not since I found you.” He wrapped one arm around me. I enjoyed his touch, it both relaxed me and made me feel safe. I cuddled close to him as the remaining colors began to fade, and the landscape began to get darker. “You’ll never be lonely or alone again. I love you.” “I love you too.” And he kissed me. He was more romantic than I had ever suspected.
