Get up, doll.

- Shut up!
- Agnes...

Agnes!

- [screaming]
- [knife scrapes, slashes]

- [Langston] What do we got?
- [Officer] Guy driving by called it in.

Checked it out,
found a body at the bottom-- DOA.

[Sanders]
Middle of nowhere.

Any idea how he got here?

No vehicle in the vicinity.

I've just been keeping the buzzards
off him till you guys got here.

Don't you think you should
tape off the crime scene?

- I'm on it.
- [Langston] Thank you, Officer.

We'll take it from here.

Hey, guys, I'm sorry I'm late.

That's all right.

Why can't people die
closer to the road?

He's still smoking,
so he hasn't been here long.

The ground is soft,
loose gravel.

No footprints out here
but our own.

- Body dump?
- Possibly.

Looks like he might have
rolled down the hill

from up on the road.

- Greg, a little help?
- Yeah.

One, two, three.

[Langston] Tongue's blackened,
swollen... teeth clenched.

Nearly bit his own tongue off.

[Phillips] Looks like somebody
took a flame thrower to his head.

But his hands aren't burned.

His clothes aren't burned either.

[Sanders] Except for a bit
of singeing on the collar.

Any guess on time of death?

Give me a second.

- [yells]
- Whoa! Oh!

He's alive!

[rapid panting]

Roll medical! Stat!

You guys stay here
and process the scene.

I'll ride back with the victim.

Push one mil adrenaline.
Let's go.

Well, my work is done here.

Call me if his condition worsens.

- I'll get it to him now.
- All right.

So he didn't find
any I.D. on the victim.

What do you got down there?

Uh, burned brush
and crushed vegetation

and bloodstains running
down the hill from the road

to where he came to a stop.

The guy's on fire, he rolls,

the dust and vegetation
put him out.

Good thing he didn't start
the whole hillside on fire.

Yeah.

These tire tracks
go onto the shoulder,

and then back onto the road
again without even stopping.

Think he was tossed
from a moving vehicle?

Maybe.
But the vehicle was a dualie.

You can see here, four wheels
on the back axle. You see that?

Mm-hmm.
Could have been a hate crime

or a narco hit...

Could have been anything.

Hopefully, this poor guy survives.

He can tell us himself
what happened out here.

[monitor beeping steadily]

[camera shutter clicking]

Pardon me.

I want to sample that, please.

[Langston]
As you can see,

our victim has third-degree burns

covering approximately 90%

of his head and face.

In addition,
there are ligature marks

at the wrists and the ankles.

- He was tied up?
- Correct.

[Stokes]
And now here,

the abrasions across
the chest would indicate

that he was restrained
with some kind of strap.

Don't see that every day.
Nor this--

a distinct burn pattern
at the right ankle.

- [Stokes] It's within the ligature mark.
- And not only that,

there's an even more intense
circular burn at the crown of his head.

Burn trauma radiating outward.

So, Doctor, what turned him
into a Roman candle?

[Langston]
Well, I have a theory.

The distinctive burn pattern,

the five-point restraint--

all classic signs that this was
execution...

by electric chair.

So, you're saying
somebody juiced this poor son of a bitch

and just left him
on the side of the road?

- It's a theory.
- Oh, man, that ain't right.

Okay, next up,
we have the layout room.

Group, I'd like you to meet
Dr. Raymond Langston,

Nick Stokes, and Greg Sanders.

These are our CSI field agents.

They go out and collect
all those little bits of evidence,

and then they bring them
to me for answers.

Ooh! Looks like they're cooking
up a searing mystery today.

Are these pictures
of a murder victim?

Attempted.

I hear he's hanging
by a thread.

- You mean to say that is still alive?
- Mm.

You know, Greg here
is our lead man on the case.

So if you have any questions,
you can direct them to him.

- Are you Mr. Lodges' boss?
- Hodges.

Uh, not exactly.

That's so horrible.
Is he gonna live?

I'm sorry, but this is
an ongoing case.

I can't really discuss
any of the details.

Sorry.
[chuckles]

I understand.

What brings you here?

I teach fourth-grade science

and wanted to see if this
is appropriate for a field trip,

but I'm afraid
it's a little too gory.

Oh, honey, this is nothing.

I could tell you stories

that would just curl your hair.

[Sanders]
The tour can definitely be cleaned up

for more innocent eyes.

[Langston] If it wouldn't be
too much trouble,

do you mind taking these things
down to the lab

and running them
for trace, please?

Oh, don't worry.

I'll take over the tour for you.

You go right ahead
and carry on, Mr. Lodges.

Alas, ladies and gentlemen,
duty calls.

I bid you adieu.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,
if you'll follow me--

this way to reception.

Uh, I can introduce
you to Judy,

who will then explain to you
the intricacies of dispatch.

[Stokes]
You really shouldn't let her leave

without getting her number.

She didn't come here
to get hit on.

Dude, it's a pop fly
hit right to you.

All you gotta do is put
your glove up and catch it.

Uh...

[mocks]
Trust me. Go. Go now.

Hi. Um, I'm not trying
to be pushy or anything,

but I was just thinking

if you really want
to know more about the lab,

maybe you could
give me your number

and we could go out sometime
and talk about it.

Normally, I wouldn't,

but who could be
safer than a cop?

Plus you seem really nice.

- Why not?
- All right.

[chuckles]

All right, thanks.

- Okay.
- I'll call you.

- Bye.
- Bye.

♪♪

♪♪ [continues]

[beeps]

What did Jell-O Man
ever do to you?

Eh, some men
were just born to suffer.

Since there's been
no call from the Governor...

See, in an electrocution,

current enters the head
through the skullcap

and is drawn through the body
by the grounding wire,

which is attached to the ankle.

[screaming]

Amperage flows through
the heart long enough

to ensure that it arrests.

So we have...
18.5 milliamps.

That's more than enough juice
to stop a man's heart.

But not enough
to light him up and cause

the burns that we saw
on the vic's head.

So either my theory's wrong
or we missed a variable.

[Hodges]
Try missing a variable.

I analyzed the black flecks you pulled

from Almost Dead Guy's head.

The material came
from a polyethylene sponge--

synthetic, like this one.

That explains it.

[Langston]
A saline-solution-soaked

sponge is used
to conduct electricity.

But... the sponge
has to be natural.

Otherwise...

it impedes the charge.

Using a synthetic sponge
increases resistance...

[man screaming]

...converting most of
the electrical current to heat,

literally cooking the victim
in low amperage.

There's not enough
to stop his heart.

[Langston] But definitely enough
to set his head on fire.

You ever been to Burning Man?

I have now.

So our killer is using an electric chair.

Which is easy enough to construct.

Yeah, you just proved that.

It's got to take a ton
of juice to fry someone.

Maybe we can check
with LV Power and Water,

see if there were
any surges on the grid.

Well, unfortunately,
it's not about voltage,

it's about amperage.

If your connection
was strong enough,

you could plug this thing
straight into the wall.

So you're saying
that chair could be

in any house in the city?

Or truck.

The evidence at the crime scene says

that the victim's head was on fire

when he was thrown
from a moving vehicle.

- Which means he had just been fried.
- Right.

- So, a mobile killing machine?
- Right.

[Sanders]
Catherine...

Got a match.

Tire tracks were made

by LT245/75R16 Michelin
light truck tire.

Too bad it's only
the most common light truck tire

in the Southwest.

Well, truck had two axles.

Two tires in the front,
four in the back.

Could be we're looking

for a pickup or a cube van.

- All right.
- Also...

got an I.D. on our John Doe.

Carlton Doreen.

His, uh, wife reported him
missing two days ago.

We matched his DNA
to exemplars from his home.

And who is he?

Uh, regular guy.

Uh, works at a hardware store.

Uh, no record,

no known enemies,
no outstanding debts.

You look tired, Greg.
You should go home.

Yeah, you're right.

I'm burnt.

Sorry. Unfortunate choice of words.

Go home.

[sighs]

Did you call her yet?

You don't want me
to call her, do you?

Don't let that
number go cold, now.

[laughing]

You don't waste
much time, do you?

Did I call too soon?

I hadn't even gotten home yet.

But I'm glad you did.

I was surprised
you were available.

I've pretty much given up
on the dating scene.

It's too painful.

I feel wicked.

I never drink on a school night.

Actually, I hardly ever drink at all.

Good thing I took the bus.

What, you don't have a car?

Mm-mmm.

Schoolteacher's salary.

I figure if it's good
enough for my students,

it's good enough for me.

Your students must love you.

Well, I don't know about that.

But I bet they'd get a kick

out of a visit from a real scientist.

- I'd be honored.
- [chuckles]

To your students.

- Another toast.
- All right.

- To us.
- To us.

- [chuckles]
- Oops. Oopsy.

[both chuckling]

[no audible dialogue]

I think they're going
to kick us out soon.

We're the last ones here.

All right, we should probably go.

[sighs]

- It's getting cold out.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm not letting you ride the bus.

- Let's share a cab.
- Okay.

- I don't want this night to end.
- Doesn't have to.

[Sanders]
She's amazing.

Smart, grounded, and-- get this--

the rarest of all things,

she's a beautiful woman

who has no idea how
beautiful she is.

Yeah! I wouldn't steer
you wrong, bud.

Oh, get this.

She smells like fresh peaches.

Peaches?

Yeah, you know, like peaches.

Like, what a peach smells like.

Yeah, nice.
So you didn't, uh...

No, you know what?

Don't tell me.
I don't want to know.

Dualies.

Man, I don't like the look of that.

Well, you're not going to like
the look of this, either.

Moderate burns on the crown,

but no collateral burns
to the head like the last victim.

[Sanders]
Clenched teeth,

swollen tongue.

[Stokes] Same ligature marks
as Carlton Doreen.

You mind if I lift his shirt, Doc?

Be my guest.

Five-point restraints.

Same burn within the ligature mark.

Looks like somebody else
got the chair.

[Sanders]
Storage facility over there.

Maybe we can pull surveillance.

Yeah, all right.

Now, wait a minute, now.

- You sure you want to do that?
- Hmph.

This one is actually dead.

So we've got two victims,

both fried in some kind
of mobile electric chair.

Right. But our first guy,
Carlton Doreen, didn't die.

We I.D.'d our second victim.

Elijah Newbloom lll.

Any connection to Doreen?

Not really.

Both are about the same age,

both from Vegas money.

But Doreen's family
lost its fortune.

Now he's a working stiff.

Newbloom, on the other hand,
is a trust-fund kid

who's never had to work
a day in his life.

Sounds like they don't
travel in the same circle.

I doubt it.

But they do intersect

at the corner of Doreen Avenue
and Newbloom Boulevard.

Really?

So maybe somebody's picking
out victims by street names.

Well, if your intent is just to kill,

it's not a bad way
to randomize your targets.

Found something interesting.

Both the victims' skin and clothing

showed trace amounts
for ammonium perchlorate.

But exemplars from the soil
at both crime scenes

were negative for the chemical.

Perchlorate?

That's the industrial oxidizer

that contaminated a large section

of ground soil in Henderson

after the Phosphodyne
explosion in '88.

Ground's still contaminated there.

Maybe that's where
our electrocutioner is set up.

I'll have Brass run
some unis through the area.

Hey.

I think I found our truck.

Elijah Newbloom's T.O.D.
was between midnight and 3:00 a.m.

The storage facility
across from the body dump

has surveillance cameras.

So we caught this truck
on the move at 2:30 a.m.

It was the only vehicle
on the road at the time.

Truck belongs
to one Johannes DeSmoot.

Guy owns an appliance
repair shop in North Vegas.

[cell phone ringing]

Excuse me.

- Hello.
- [Ellen] Hi, Greg.

We still on for tonight?

Oh, you know...

I'm sorry, but I-- I don't think so.

We're making some headway
on the case,

and, uh, I think it's going
to be a late night.

Oh, don't worry,
I completely understand.

Hey, that's great
about the headway.

Yeah.

Do you think I could get
a rain check for tonight?

Rain, sun, sleet, or hail.

Just call me when you can.

But don't wait too long, okay?

I won't.

Problem, "Lodges"?

Don't let us interrupt
your personal life.

[sighs]

So, uh...

you run a background on DeSmoot?

Yep. He used to work
as an interrogator

for the South African secret police,

before he fled the country
at the end of apartheid.

Probably no stranger
to throwing a guy in a chair

and sending a few volts through him.

Where's your truck, Johannes?

[thick accent]
I told you, I sold it,

and I can't find the paperwork.

And you can't
remember a description

of the buyer, either.
Try a little harder.

Uh, it was raining, man-- and dark.

The guy was wearing a fedora.

His face, it was in the shadows.

He was a right tall regular giant.

Ooh, spooky.

And in a hurry.
He paid cash.

I had my stooky, hot to trot,

out in the back room,
so I signed over the deed

and he chucked out quick
without so much as a thank you.

You remember all that,
why can't you remember his handle?

I'm telling you, I can't,
and that's the truth.

You know, the truck is still
registered in your name.

Hey, if the oak never
switched over the deed,

it wouldn't be my swakkie,
now, would it?

What?

If I was lying, don't you think

I'd be doff not to make up
a name and a description?

If not, you're dumber
than you look,

and that'd take some doing,
now, wouldn't it?

You know, it's bad form
to insult the guy

who holds your future
in his hands.

Your work permit
expired six months ago.

That means I can hold you.

I'm going to find your truck, Johnny,

and when I do, I'm going to put you
in a box marked "perishable"

and ship you back to South Africa.

Then I'm going to
e-mail all the guys

you put a cattle prod into,

tell them you're coming home,

and maybe they'll have
a clambake for you.

Knock, knock.

You have a visitor.

Thank you, Lodges.

I brought sandwiches.

I didn't want you to think
I'm the kind of girl

that falls into bed
on the first date.

Oh, I don't.

[chuckles]

I know this is all
happening really fast,

but I can't get you
out of my mind.

Well, I feel the same way.

I'm glad.

Hey, how's that poor burn victim

in the hospital doing?

He's actually making progress.

We're hoping that he'll help us
identify our killer.

That's great.

I'll pray for him.

Uh...

Tox panels came back
on your victims.

Excuse me.

Uh, Carlton Doreen
and Elijah Newbloom

both had chloroform
in their system.

They were knocked out,
probably how they were abducted.

- She is cute.
- Thanks.

No, I mean, like, really cute.
You dog!

Does anything remain
private around here?

No. Look, if she has a sister,
you think you can--

I'll take the report.

Oh, sure.

All right, thanks.

What are you doing at my desk?

Leaning.

Ooh, suspicious.

You want to lock me up?

That material is confidential.

I'm sorry, Greg.
I wasn't looking at it.

Ooh, I have to go.

I have to get up early,
and you have work to do.

I'll stay out of your stuff
from now on, I promise.

- [Man] Do you know what time it is?
- Sorry.

[Man shouting, indistinct]

And who do you think you are?
You're supposed to get--

Get over here.

Look, I get it. She's gorgeous.

But you got to cut

Get out of there.
She's trouble.

She told you she was a teacher,
and she's a stripper.

She is a teacher.

And the term is
"burlesque dancer."

[chuckles]
What's the difference?

I called her.

Now, why'd you go and do
something like that?

I wanted an explanation.

She told that she was just
doing it for the extra money.

She couldn't make it
on a schoolteacher's salary alone,

and she didn't tell me

because she didn't
want to scare me away.

She lied to you, Greg.

And if she lied to you once,
she'll lie to you again.

Now, who is this

It's Hammerbacher.
Roderick Hammerbacher.

Yeah, yeah.
Who is he again?

He's her manager,

What kind of bad news?

Well, I pulled his sheet.

He's got a long history

Great.

This just keeps

Huh. I'm worried about her, Nick.

She might be in danger.

Well, you better make sure

I'm telling you.

All right, I'll catch

Thank you.

[Man]
Adams Elementary School.

Yes. May I please speak
to Ellen Whitebridge?

One moment.

[Langston] Calvarium burn
has a much narrower diameter.

[Phillips] And no collateral
burns around the head.

It's a cleaner kill.

These ligature marks
are less distinct, as well.

Means he struggled for less time.

[Man]
She's in class right now.

If it's urgent, I can get her.

Oh, no, no,
that won't be necessary,

but could you please
ask her to call Greg Sanders

when she has a moment?

Certainly.

Uh, she has my number,

but, uh, I'll leave it again,
just in case.

They used some kind
of conducting gel, as well.

So our killer seems to be
improving his technique.

Which means our electrocutioner
is not just a sadist.

He wants to get it right.
He's a perfectionist.

- So another sparker, huh?
- [Phillips] Yep.

And no I.D. on this one, either.

And again, no attempt
to hide the body.

They seem to be just
left out here deliberately,

- like little presents.
- Yeah?

I had a cat once that used
to do that with sparrows.

[cell phone ringing]

Sanders.

[Sanders]
Yeah.

I see.

All right, thanks for calling.

Was that her?

No. It was the hospital.

Our first victim,
Carlton Doreen, just died.

[Langston groans]
Infection in the exposed tissue,

fluid builds up in the lungs.

It happens to burn victims
all the time.

There goes our best witness.

[Langston]
And our best suspect.

DeSmoot was in custody
when this poor guy bought it, so,

that lets him off the hook.

[whirring]

[beeping]

[beep, whirring]

[Langston] Our third victim's
name is Hammish Hershkowitz.

Hershkowitz?

You know him?

He was a professor at WLVU.

Listed in the system
as a foster parent.

[Stokes] So much for your theory
about pulling names off a map.

There's no streets in Vegas
named Hershkowitz.

But you can't tell me
that our three victims aren't related.

- The Rat!
- The what?

Herzog Hershkowitz.

The Rat!

[sighs]

[sighs]

[Sanders]
Our victims are connected,

but the story begins long
before any of them were born.

At the end of World War ll,

Bugsy Siegel plucked

the great French chanteuse,
Agnes LaPlouffe,

from the ruins of Europe
and brought her to Vegas

to make her a star.

During the war,

Agnes had lost her life's
true love-- or so she thought--

the great Ballet Russe dancer,

Boris Kuchko,
in the siege of Leningrad.

But Kuchko survived,

and made his way barefoot
across Siberia,

and secretly reunited with Agnes

in Vegas in 1946,

when they had a
daughter out of wedlock.

I remember this story.
It was Las Vegas legend.

My father's idea of

a soothing bedtime tale
for a little girl.

Agnes and Kuchko
had to hide their love from Bugsy,

who considered Agnes his property.

[Sanders]
She spent furtive weekends

with Kuchko holed up
in an anonymous motel in Santa Fe,

plotting her escape
from Bugsy's clutches.

As his suspicions grew,

Bugsy had his henchmen follow
Agnes and Kuchko to New Mexico.

[man grunts]

[screaming]

No!

Agnes!

Agnes! Agnes!

Agnes!

Agnes!

[screaming]

[Willows] They dragged her out
and they decapitated her,

leaving her body

in this hideous dance pose
to implicate Kuchko.

Where we going
with all this, Greg?

Bugsy framed Kuchko
for Agnes's murder,

relying on the bogus
eyewitness account

of a stoolie and small-time
operator for the Mob--

Herzog "The Rat" Hershkowitz.

Grandfather of our third victim--

- Hammish Hershkowitz?
- Right.

Ambrose Doreen

and Elijah Newbloom the First--

the prosecutor
and defense attorney--

were both in Bugsy's pocket,

- paid to throw the case.
- There's our connection.

Doreen and Newbloom
are the grandfathers

of our first and second victim.

Bugsy made them both rich men.

[Sanders] And they became
pillars of Vegas society,

with streets and parks
named after them.

Now, everybody knew Kuchko
was innocent of Agnes' murder,

but the fix was in.

Tabloids had a field day

and a jury in New Mexico
demanded Boris Kuchko's life.

He went to the chair
proclaiming his innocence to the end.

[Langston]
Ironic, to say the least.

Two survivors of the Nazi
and Stalinist killing machines

come to the land of the free

only to die because they ran afoul

of a psychotic Jewish mobster.

Well, this is one hell of a story,

but what are we really saying here--

that there's a psychopath out there
with a mobile electric chair

who's killing the descendants

of the men who killed some French singer
and her Russian boyfriend?

- I buy it.
- Someone's avenging history.

- [Langston] Why not?
- This is very strange.

Well, it's about to get
a whole lot stranger.

- [Stokes] You gotta be kidding me.
- [Willows] What?

Well, that's Greg's girlfriend.

[Sanders]
Actually,

that is Agnes LaPlouffe.

This is Ellen.

[Langston]
They could be twins.

Born 70 years apart.

Ellen is Agnes's granddaughter.

[Willows]
Rita Von Squeeze.

A.k.a. Ellen Whitebridge?

[Willows]
Greg...

- your girlfriend is not looking so good.
- I know.

But I also know that she's not
capable of killing three men.

- She wouldn't do it.
- You don't know that.

And what about her
manager/boyfriend

Hammerbacher?

[Langston]
I hate to say it, Greg,

but it looks like you're in
over your head here.

That's what I keep trying to tell him.

Have you had any conversations
with her about this investigation?

- No.
- No?

I mean... I don't know, maybe.

- Maybe?
- [cell phone ringing]

Excuse me.

- Sanders.
- It's Ellen.

I'm in trouble.

[Ellen]
Greg, I need to see you.

- I need to explain.
- Explain what?

Please, I'm scared.

I think someone's trying to kill me.

Who?

Give me a name.

There's a diner on the northwest
corner of Grant and St. Marie.

I know the place.

Meet me there.
You're the only one I trust.

This is Ellen Whitebridge

Is there something
I can help you with?

[sighs]

I think there's been
some kind of mistake.

Sorry to bother you.

Vartann called from a diner--
attempted hit-and-run.

Shots were fired,
nobody was hit,

but one of the patrons described

the target fleeing the scene

as a slender white male,
30s, sandy hair.

Says he tore off in a black SUV.

That sounds a lot like Greg.

Yeah, I've been trying
to get him on the horn.

- Have you talked to him?
- I tried, but he's not picking up.

What was he doing in a diner
where shots were fired?

And why hasn't he
checked in with us?

This woman's got him
really twisted up.

Found trace on our third victim--

not just perchlorate,
as we found on the first two,

but also magnesium oxide.

[Langston]
That's used in the manufacture of paint.

I just checked.

The Dunley Paint Company
is within the radius

of perchlorate contamination.

Factory's been shuttered ever since.

Okay, Ray, check it out with Nick.

I'll have Brass send backup.

- Right.
- [cell phone rings]

[Man over P.A.] ...to Los Angeles
now boarding at terminal seven.

[sirens wailing]

[Officer] This is King 320.
We have shots fired!

I repeat. we have shots fired!

[grunts]

[sighs]

[Brass]
Hammerbacher, open up!

There's no way out!

[Hammerbacher]
No! She's coming,

and we're going to blow
out of here together!

Who's coming out?

- Who?
- Ellen!

She said that if I did
everything she told me,

that we were going
to disappear together.

We were going to find
an island somewhere.

Hammerbacher, she's not coming.
She's gone.

You're surrounded,
so give yourself up.

[engine whirring]

- That's a generator.
- Deploy.

Flash shots!

[three explosions]

Hold your fire.

[grunting]

Hammerbacher, look,
you don't have to...

I'll see you in the next life!

[screaming]

[groaning]

[electricity crackles, buzzes]

Ellen?

Oh, Greg.

Thank God you're okay.

When I heard the gunshots,
I panicked and I ran.

I thought you were dead.

I had to get out of town.
I knew I'd be next.

You used me.

No, you've got it all wrong.

It was all Hammerbacher's idea.

We fell for each other hard,

but then I realized
he was a monster.

Yeah, then why didn't
you leave him?

I did.
That's what set him off.

He was in love with me,
like, crazy in love.

- Crazy's right.
- You met the man.

He thought he could win me back

by avenging my family's honor.

You set me up to die tonight.

No, I swear,
I had no idea he was gonna--

You were playing me from the start.

You came to my lab,

you looked through my files.

You saw that we had
a picture of the truck,

so you went
and you switched trucks.

Hammerbacher made me do it.

I don't think you know
where the truth ends

and your own lies begin.

We got the truck,

and we both know your prints
are going to be all over it.

My grandparents
didn't deserve to die that way.

The slate's been
wiped clean now.

You can understand that,
can't you, Greg, baby?

[Man over P.A.]:
Now departing for Los Angeles-- last call.

Come with me.

I'll make you happier
than you ever dreamed.

We'll leave this
place of death behind

and find an island somewhere.

I'll do anything you say.

Anything.

[bus engine starts]

[air brakes hiss]

Greg, please, no.

- Take her in.
- Let's go.

For what it's worth...

I've loved you since Tuesday.

You did good.

Yeah, well, most bosses
wouldn't have given me

the chance to make it right.

Oh, make no mistake,
I'm pissed off at you, Greg.

You disappeared on us,
you walked into an ambush,

you almost got yourself killed,

and then you left
the scene of a crime.

- Am I on suspension?
- You should be.

But I'm the last one
who should be throwing stones.

I've been blinded
by lust once or twice.

Just do me a favor.

The next time you get the hots
for a mysterious babe,

let me check her out for you.

[scoffs]

I got an eye for the rotten ones.

Deal.

[sighs]

Catherine...

Yeah?

Why do the rotten
ones smell so good?
