Synopsis:
Grissom, Warrick & Nick investigate the death of a young man found hanging from a tree. They believe this to be a hate crime as the man had breasts and is believed to be a pre-operative transsexual. As the investigation continues however, they learn he worked at a local water treatment plant and may have been up to something else entirely. Sara and Veronica Lake investigate when a skeleton is found at the construction site for a new hotel. The site was once the Rampart Hotel owned by Catherine Willows' father. Her mother provides valuable information on the case. Grissom and Sidle decide on their future.

Construction Worker (after finding a body, on the site of Sam's new casino): You know, these casinos weren't built by saints.
Catherine: Oh, I know. My dad built this one.


Grissom or Sara related quotes:

Ronnie: What made you pick Vegas?
Sara (smiles): Well, it uh, kinda picked me.

Greg: Wow! The original plans for the Rampart! Opening day, New Years, 1964... Half of the hotel tower was still under construction but Sam decided to have the party anyways. He had the Midas touch. And help from the boys in Kansas City. This is the ultimate.
Sara: Don't you have work to do?
Greg: Fill me in.
Sara: Well, the workers found the bones here, which corrosponds to this area.
Greg: Bottom of the construction shaft. Wonder if it's Gus 'Da Beauty' Finkle. Snitch. Disappeared in '64.
Sara: The skull shape is Monogolod.
Greg (excited): Maybe it's Eddie Chang! The Peking Pimp. Caught Dean at the Sans, went out for eggs, never came back.
Sara (shows him a picture): Did the Peking Pimp ever wear anything like this on his arm?
Greg: Nope. Just french cuffs and plantium blondes. (Sara starts to roll up the blueprints) Whoa, be careful with those, they're like the dead sea scrolls of Las Vegas.
Sara: I have to get back to the scene.
Greg: I'm off the clock, if you need a hand. (Sara smiles)

Ronnie: Hey, check this out. Turquoise and silver beads. I got the matching necklace at the Indian market in Santa Fe.
Sara: Everybody stop! Stop what you're doing!
Foreman: What is the problem now?
Sara: We have just found evidence that this might be a Native American burial site. We have to notify the Inter-Tribal Council. Until they say so, nobody touches anything.

Doc Robbins (looking at bones from what could be a Native American): Teeth from ancient tribal graves usually have distinctive wear marks. Grooves from pipe smoking, rope making, but no cavities. (Sara looks at the jaw bone) You look disappointed.
Sara: I was hoping that just once Vegas would have to honor its past.

Greg: This is great work for my book.
Sara: Your what?
Greg: Oh, just this little piece of Vegas history. Stuff that didn't make the papers.
Lily: Honey, if there's anything that you wanna know, you could just ask me. I was there.
Greg: Well, how about I buy you dinner tonight? Bottle and a bird, we'll talk about the Peking Pimp.
Lily: Eddie Chang. They shipped him home in pieces.


Nick: Mutilated tranny, strung up in a tree. I bet I know how he got up there.
Grissom: Hate.

Grissom: According to Cydan's research the hormone levels in the tap water are nearly equal to the water in the reservoir.
Catherine: I thought they drink ground water.
Grissom: They do. Cydan was convinced that the ground water was contaminated.
Catherine: How?
Grissom: He discovered that the reservoir was improperly lined allowing grey water to leach into the ground water.
Nick: Well, if that's the case, why didn't any of the other boys develop breasts?
Grissom: There's a good chance that others have been affected. Especially children who were born to women who were living there while they were pregnant.
Catherine: Because the womb is the only place that human lives in fluid, like a fish.
Nick: That reservoir is supposed to be lined to prevent contamination. The lining is ineffective.
Grissom: Obviously it's not. Which I think is the conclusion that Cydan came to the night before he was shot.

Catherine: Towne goes free.
Grissom: It's all out of our hands now.
Catherine: It's not enough for me. If their lawyers can hog-tie the EPA for years, then somebody's gotta go around them. They gotta take Brian's story and the research to the press. I mean, if this happened here, who's to say there aren't other Brian's out there?
Grissom: You can't give information about a case to the media. You'll get fired.
Catherine: As a mother, maybe I don't care.

GSR moments:
The proposal was unexpected but nicely done giving both characters justice.
Grissom: You know, maybe we should get married. (Sara gets stung by a bee which distracts them for a moment) So, uh... What do you think?
Sara (smiles): Yes. Let's do it. (they go to kiss but can't as they are both wearing bee helmets)

GSR quotes:
Grissom (Sara has on bee suit): Oh, you know I love it when you dress up.
Sara (laughs): Well, whatever it takes to get time with you.

Funny moments:
(After Grissom asked Sara to marry him)
Hodges: You look like you're having a good day.
Sara (a little taken aback, trying not to smile): Thanks.

(After Grissom asked Sara to marry him)
Catherine: Hey, what are you up to?
Grissom (defensive): Nothin'. Why? (pauses) What's in the cooler.
Catherine: Carp. Paul Cyden died holding one. He had a freezer full of them, some kind of an experiment.
Grissom: Huh. I can process those fish if you want.
Catherine: Do I know how to turn you on or what?

Henry: Hey, Grissom. About your hanging victim, the one with the chesticles, manboobs. (Grissom stares) Uh, the gynocamasta, sorry.


Eww! moments:

Interesting facts:
Knowing Grissom and Billy Petersen are farsighted - how can he scrape the sting off Sara's hand without wearing his glasses?

Episode was going to be called 'High Roller'.


Louise Lombard (Sofia Curtis) was removed from the opening credits and Wallace Langham (Hodges) has been re-added in this episode.

This episode deals with water contamination and its effect on local wildlife and people, which is the main storyline in the 2000 film Erin Brockovich, which also starred Marg Helgenberger.

gsrbritfan Do you think if Grissom comes back in a guest appearance in. (page: 1 2 3) 49 Apr 1 2009, 9:41 AM EDT by gsrbritfan

the show, we should either get a flashback to his & Sara's wedding ceremony, or at the very least some indication that they are now married? and if so, what sort of thing could they do to indicate it?
Do you find this valuable?
