MAN: I don'��t know how you saw anything

in this weather, but thanks a lot.

(coughing)

Thanks.

Guy was on his way to a landscaping job

in Palm Springs.

Saw a body stickin g out of the sand.

p. Well, out this far, it'��s probably a body dum

Looks like they starve d her to death first.

Well, Jesus fasted in the desert.

Yeah, but he had a choice.

es, No clothes, no sho

no hair.

BRASS: Maybe her dome was shaved

'��cause she spent time in the pen.

No right hand, either.

Could have been

disarticulated by a wild animal.

The only wild animal was the one who left her out here.

Hey, Grissom.

Conditions are less than ideal.

Is it okay if we just do a scoop-and-run?

Yeah, David.

Shoe prints, tire treads-- all they are is...

Dust in the wind.

Looks like she was branded.

Emaciated, bald and numbered.

What does that remind you of?

?? Who... are you? ??

?? Who, who, who, who? ??

?? Who... are you? ??

?? Who, who, who, who? ??

?? I really wanna know ??

?? Who... are you? ??

?? Oh-oh-oh ?? ?? Who... ??

?? Come on, tell me who are you, you, you ??

?? Oh, you! ??

PHILLIPS: Branding.

A brand is a kind of contract.

STOKES: Tell that to a bul l

when he gets stuck on his rear with a hot ir on.

In that case, it signifies ownership.

To a Maori tribesman, or a Marine,

it signifies belonging.

Did you get a liver temp?

Couldn'��t get an accurate reading.

You want me to pull vitreous from the eye?

Yeah.

One eye is much more desiccated than the other.

Could be an infection.

Take samples from both.

The eye is sequestered space.

Changes that happen in the blood after death

happen more slowly in the vitreous.

Could give us more accurate levels.

Um... Dr. Robbins...

Well, the optic nerve'��s been severed.

That kind of defeats the purpose

of an eye transplant, doesn'��t it?

Well, an eye transplant'�� s just the cornea;

it'��s not the whole eye.

David, check the other ey e.

This one'��s still connected.

Clip it.

Nick, send both eyes

to DNA . Yeah.

Pull up a chair.

It'��s been a long, strange trip

for this poor girl .

I found puncture wounds around her glandular areas,

from large-gauge needles commonly used

to draw out fluids.

Maybe she was undergoing

some kind of medical treatment.

What'��s in this?

sure. ROBBINS: I'��m not

I found it in her teeth.

Could be from her last meal.

Also, anot her surprise:

She had a D & C.

Abortion?

Well, maybe polyps, hyperplasia.

Infection? And how.

Starvation shrinks a lot of things,

but not your organs.

They'��re all abscessed.

r. Yeah, which explains why I couldn'��t find the live

There'��s not much left.

What, some kind of flesh-eating disease?

Necrotizing faciitis.

I'��ve never seen anything like this.

Typically, streptococcus enters through an open wound

and starts eating through the skin,

then uses the bloodstream as a conduit

to reach the internal organs.

But in her case, the bacteria started

; in her bloodstream

hence her skin is fine.

Maybe the puncture wounds were used to put something in

rather than take something out.

So Henry found oxycodone and chlorpromazine

in both the right and left eye.

Now, one kills pain

and the other puts a lid on panic.

Chlorpromazine-- they give that to mental patients.

Yeah, but this get s so much weirder,

because that dried-up eyeball--

it actually belongs to somebody else.

What?

See, the vitreous fluid from her eyeball showed

that she'��d only been dea d for a day;

but the DNA from the other eyeball--

well, it was male, and it seems to have been separated

from its owner for about a week.

So I ran it through CODIS,

and the eyeball belonged

to a Jack Landers,

who is a convicted sex offender.

Would sticking your eyebal l in a woman'��s eye socket

se? constitute a sex offen

Well, rape is legally defined

as putting an unwanted foreign object into a genital opening,

so sexual... no...

But offensive... yea h. Yeah.

Look, guy got out of jail six weeks ago.

A weenie wagger with two eyes.

As a parolee, he has to check in with me once a month.

Missed our las t appointment,

but before I could file the paperwork,

he showed up here, across from his halfway house,

. thinking he'�� s Captain Crunch

g, They thought he was piped up on somethin

but his ur ine was clean

and his high hasn'��t faded.

Hey, Jack.

Captain Jack to you.

Ahoy, mateys.

PAROLE OFFICER: Captain Jack, these people want

Orphaned at the age of five.

Spit me out and fed me to the beast.

A puppet I am.

Jack, were you in an accident

or a recent fight?

Captain Jack... don'��t do much recallin'��.

Did he have an ocular tumor or recent surgery?

I have no idea.

He'��s a suspect in a murder investigation.

Do you think he'��s crazy, or...?

Right, right, but lobotomies-- they'��re not

a common practice today?

DOCTOR: Hardly.

Nick...

take a look at his arm.

He'��s not a suspect; he'��s a victim.

Jane Doe is number 19.

I know it'��s tough,

but we'��re go ing to need you

Fine.

For reasons I think we both understand,

I would appreciate some level of anonymity.

Sure, I'��ll do my best.

Thank you, Captain Brass.

The mother'��s a friend of yours.

Who'��s that?

er. Lady Heath

Apartment 106.

Landlord was getting ready to evict her.

"Freud, Goethe...

Rilke..." in German.

Briefe an einen jungen Dichter.

Nothing sounds good in German.

How did she get from Harvard to here?

Practice, practice, practice.

How do you know she was at Harvard?

Lady Heather told me.

She was very proud of her.

Well, it looks as though

she hasn'��t checked her mai l in ten weeks.

The postmark dates back to November 12th.

BRASS: She died yesterday.

This looks like an appointment.

"Betz, 11-12, 7:00 P.M."

Was there a problem?

No. Some people just get freaked out spending the night

We'��ll need to see those testing rooms.

Okay.

As you can see, we try

to make the facility as normal as possible.

Put a TV in there, it wouldn'��t be half bad.

But that would defeat the purpose.

We can'��t have anything in there that would reveal

the actual time.

How do you monit or your patients?

Our monitoring process is twofold.

Electrodes measure E KG and REM sleep,

and we have a vid cam in the room

to help insure t he patients actuall y stay in bed.

You worried about hanky-panky?

Zoe'��s car was found at an impound lot downtown.

"Left early" seems to be a euphemism.

was her own.

Yeah. Now, I don'��t know abou t you, but I would rather die

of starvation than to eat my own hand.

Animals in traps do it all the time.

You think she was trapped?

Like a rat.

A hand in the desert is worth two in the bush.

Okay, Grissom.

Come on. What are we doing here?

What are the odds that this hand is

Hey, look, the condition she was in,

Maybe if we find the hand,

we find the torture chamber.

Torture chamber?

All right, everybody gather around.

Let me have your attention.

We'��re going to proceed forward covering the immediate area

bordering the road to the south,

Yeah.

That'��s funny, you don'��t strike me

as the delayed gratification type.

Right.

There are some freaky-looking plants in here.

Yeah, it'��s all about genetic modification.

Well, if this is where they genetically modify the plants,

there'��s got to be a hous e around here somewhere.

"Jacob Wolfowitz."

Isn'��t that the same guy from the Betz Clinic?

ah. Ye

(clanging)

Mr. Wolfowitz?

w. Mr. Wolfowitz, come out of there no

b. We'��re from the Crime La

We need to speak with you.

We can hear you, sir.

Just open the door.

He'��s not home.

Yes.

Why?

Multiple reasons.

e? Which ar

You told me Zoe was having tests done at Betz.

I found out who oversaw the tests-- Mr. Wolfowitz.

He lives close to where you found Zoe.

If I'��m caught stealing,

he may want the police to investigate.

BRASS: We know the woman who broke into your house,

and you don'��t want to press charges?

She'��s clearly disturbed.

She just lost her daughter,

le and I was one of the last peop

ve. to see Zoe Kessler ali

I'��m sure she w as just looking for a connection.

You don'��t want us to look around,

see if anything else was stolen?

ly, I live pretty simp

g, and I don'��t have anything worth takin

but I appreciate your concern.

However, if he refus es to press charges...

I'��d have to ask myself what kind of person would do that.

Someone with something to hide.

Precisely.

GRISSOM: Why, uh, steal this?

It'��s one of the earliest illustrations

of the Romulus and Remus myth.

e. It'��s printed from a plat

Must be worth thousands.

So?

Well, it looks like a page from a book.

I find that people who don'��t respect books

have a general disregard for keeping things whole.

So you think he stole it?

I think a pencil pusher in a pharmaceutical lab

couldn'��t afford it.

BRASS: How long have you worked at Betz?

18... 18 years.

18 years. Oh.

But that'��s a long way from your home

to your office, isn'��t it?

I like the solitude and, uh, space for my plants.

Did I do something wrong, Captain?

Even if all this is true,

we still don'��t know if he killed your daughter.

Too many coincidences.

You have to stay away from him.

You forfeited the right to give me advice some time ago.

But thank you.

Ah, I believe this is authentic.

Iron-gall ink from the 16th century

tends to turn a brownish color.

Especially when it'� �s been sitting around

for a few centuries.

See how the ink bites into the parchment of the page.

Is that an acidic compound?

Gall inks are often made with wine or vinegar.

Recipes were specific to the manuscript illuminator.

So it is from a manuscript?

The edge appears fairly pristine.

How could he remove it from the book so cleanly?

My guess? Classic spit and string.

You use saliva.

It'��s absorbed into the fabric of the paper

and softens its fibers.

Even if this tests positive for DNA,

I'��m gonna need the book to match it.

Here'��s Zoe Kessler at the start of her session.

And here she is at hour number four.

Here'��s Jack Landers.

A trip to the bathroom, maybe?

Except he never returned.

Wolfowitz works at the clinic.

He has access to both victims.

One victim is found less than mile from his house,

which smells like human decomp.

How do we get to him?

Rambar checked

This guy likes to steal in his own backyard.

No signs of trauma or blood.

and that could take a while.

How long does it take to freeze an entire body?

To the core?

Two solid days.

His heart'��s completely frozen.

Before the Y, I found bruises

and puncture wounds all over his body.

Over the glands, too?

Yep. Same as Zoe.

So is this.

So what? They dunked him in liquid nitrogen?

Cryogenically froze him?

People have used sex for much less worthy causes.

tested positiv e for human DNA.

And I mean a lot of it , over a dozen profiles.

And one of them matched Zoe Kessler.

the DNA from the condom, it matches both the saliva

Jacob Wolfowitz.

Thanks.

I have a question.

How do you have sex with the guy who killed your daughter?

Revenge is an act of passion.

(computer beeping)

So, none of the fingerprints

from the car belong to Jacob Wolfowitz.

They'��re all a match to a Leon Sneller.

GRISSOM: Who?

WILLOWS: That'��s Leon Sneller.

Looks like Wolfowitz, only younger.

Which explains how I saw and how Lady Heather...

did a dead guy.

Identical twins.

I thought that she killed him, too.

I would'��ve.

I mean, I wouldn'��t have slept with him first, but...

. Same DNA, different prints

z So all the DNA that we attributed to Wolfowit

�s. could be Sneller'�

. Which makes you wonder who'��s on the autopsy table

Sneller joined the Army in 1985.

He was stationed at a field hospital near Berlin

until about a year ago.

(knocking)

At which point, I think that he came to Vegas...

...put his brother on ice...

started impersonating him.

z. Good morning , Mr. Wolfowit

Good morning.

I mean, I know this theory'��s a little out there,

but given the evidence...

it'��s the only conclusion that makes any sense.

Occam'��s razor, principle of parsimony.

If you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.

Given twins...

go with twins.

Everything is code four.

OFFICER; Central, this is two Baker 16.

Incident number four-three-four- eight-six is code four.

GRISSOM: Well, this isn'��t a torture chamber,

it'��s a time capsule.

Wolfowitz inherited this place from his parents.

Took over the deed about ten years ago.

Love what he'��s done with the place.

I found a blue pill in the car.

Tox came back, didn'��t matc h any known pharmaceutical.
