#722 : Y'a pas de lézard

Une femme a été assassinée. Les Experts mènent l'enquête. Bientôt, ils remontent jusqu'à un club de passionnés d'ovnis. Ces ufologues ont en commun de penser que des extraterrestres prennent forme humaine pour dominer la Terre et les humains. Un membre de cette association aurait-il pu commettre un meurtre pendant une phase de délire psychotique ? Les Experts s'interrogent.

[EXT. DESERT ROAD – DAY]

CU:  LIZARD ON A ROCK

(Officer cars rush down the road and are headed toward the lizard.  Sirens 
blare.  The lead car suddenly turns right and smashes through the wooden fence.  
The other cars follow.)  



[EXT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – DAY]

(The officer cars rush down the long driveway and stop in front of a house 
complete with pigs in a sty out front.  Car doors open and officers with their 
guns out take position behind the doors.  The SWAT team moves out toward the 
house.  Brass gets out of the car and yells through the bullhorn.)  

BRASS:  Hank Connors, Las Vegas Police.  Come out with your hands above your 
head.  Come out slowly.

(Gunfire erupts from the house.  Officers duck as bullets shatter car glass.)  

(The officers return fire.)  

(A couple of SWAT move in closer and take cover behind an old tractor.)

(The gunfire from the house continues.)  

(The two SWAT officers move in closer to the house.  One of them is hit.)  

BRASS:  Officer down!

(They continue to exchange gunfire.)  

HANK CONNORS:  (shouts)  Go back where you came from!  You're not taking me!

(He continues to fire on the officers outside.)  

(He stops and looks outside.)

SLOW MOTION:  Three SWAT officers move in toward the house.

(Hank Connors takes a moment, then he runs into the house.)

(The officers reach the front porch.)



[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – HALLWAY – CONTINUOUS]

(Hank Connors makes his way through the hallway to the door in the back.)  



[EXT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – FRONT PORCH –C ONTINUOUS]

(One of the officers kicks the front door in.)

his back to the door.)  



[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – LIVING ROOM – CONTINUOUS]

(SWAT officers enter the house and head for the hallway.)  

REVERSE VIEW

(The SWAT officers appear in the hallway entrance and make their way toward the 
back door.)  

(Hank Connor appears to stand in front of the back door.)  

(SWAT officers continue to make their way toward him.)

(Blood spatters on the back door window.)  

CUT TO:  



[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – LIVING ROOM / HALLWAY – CONTINUOUS]

(The guns found in the house are on the table.  Nick walks in and heads for the 
hallway where Hank Connor’s body is slumped up against the back door.)  

(Along the hallway walls, Nick notes the guns and ammunition stacked on the 
side.  He stops in front of the body and notes the handgun in the victim’s grip.  
He also notes the large water bottles in the room beyond the back door.) 

(Brass enters the hallway.)  

BRASS:  MREs, automatic weapons, ammo, water -- this guy Connors was ready for 
the end of days.

NICK:  Which, in his case, was today.  Bomb squad find any booby traps?

BRASS:  No, he liked it mano a mano.

NICK:  Any sign of Chyna De Vere?

BRASS:  Not yet.

CUT TO:  



[EXT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – FRONT YARD -- DAY]

(Grissom and Warrick walk along the house where the pigs in the pen are.) 

WARRICK:  You know, there's some food, you just shouldn't see where it comes 
from.

GRISSOM:  Did you know that pigs are very intelligent animals, right behind 
chimps, dolphins and elephants?

WARRICK:  Ahead of dogs?

GRISSOM:  And certain politicians.

(Warrick chuckles.)

(They look around.)  

WARRICK:  I don't see Connors' truck anywhere.

GRISSOM:  Let's look in the barn.

(They head for the barn.)  

CUT TO:  



[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – BARN -- DAY]

(The cat runs down the steps and out the door as it opens.  Grissom and Warrick 
walk in.)  

WARRICK:  There's the truck.

(Warrick steps up to the area where the blue truck is parked.  He and Grissom 
look at the truck.  They find bloodstains in the bed.)  

WARRICK:  If this is Chyna De Vere's blood, we're getting warmer.

(Warrick snaps photos of the blood.  Grissom turns and looks around the barn.  
They note the items on the desk and the stuffed animals on the side.)  

WARRICK:  Looks like he had a hobby -- stuffed animals.

(Warrick stops near the table and looks at the items on it while Grissom 
continues toward the other side of the barn.  He looks at the various stuffed 
animal heads up on the wall.)  

GRISSOM:  Hey, Warrick.

WARRICK:  Yeah?

GRISSOM:  I feel like Marco Polo.

(Warrick heads over toward Grissom.)  

WARRICK:  Why's that?

GRISSOM:  I just discovered Chyna.

(Chyna’s head is mounted up on the wall.)

(David Phillips is standing up on a chair and looking at Chyna’s head up on the 
wall.)  

DAVID PHILLIPS:  This is a career first.

(Warrick is working on the table in the back.)  

WARRICK:  A little tip for you:  The new Mrs. Phillips doesn't need to hear 
about this.

DAVID PHILLIPS:  Are you kidding me?  She'll want to hear every detail.  Why do 
you think I married her?

CUT TO:  



[EXT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – FRONT YARD -- DAY]

(Sara walks around the house and finds Nick in the sty with the pigs and the 
mud.  He’s trying to round them up.)  

NICK:  Come on, pretty girl, come on.

(The pigs squeal.  Sara watches him.)

NICK:  Come on.

SARA:  Hi.

NICK:  Hey.

SARA:  What are you doing?

NICK:  Well, I read about this farmer in Canada who killed a bunch of women and 
fed them to his pigs.

SARA:  Oh.

NICK:  Yeah, their health department had to put out a bulletin that said, 
"Warning: your pork may be contaminated with human."

(Nick pushes a pig toward the container opening.)  

SARA:  I'm so glad I'm a vegetarian.

(The pig snorts as Nick grabs him and pushes him through the opening.)

NICK:  Get through there!

(The pig goes through the opening.)  

NICK:  Well, no one has seen or heard from the victim's husband, so ... I kind 
of figured he may have been dessert.

(Nick herds another pig to the opening.)  

SARA:  I think the fat one likes you.

(Nick smiles and sighs at Sara.)  

NICK:  They always do.

CUT TO:  



[EXT. LAS VEGAS CITY (STOCK) – DAY]



[INT. CSI – GARAGE -- DAY]  

(Greg and Catherine walk into the lab.)  

GREG:  We went to Connors' ranch because a week ago, Chyna De Vere went missing.  
She just separated from her husband, got her own place.

(They stop in front of a large piece of carpeting on the floor.)  

GREG:  This is a large section of her living room carpet -- wet to the touch, 
pheno confirmed a blood pool.

CATHERINE:  Well, it's certainly enough blood to suggest foul play.

(Greg looks through the file.)  

GREG:  There were also traces of perchloroethylene, phosphates, alcohol, ethers 
and sodium hypocholorite.

CATHERINE:  Used a steam cleaner.  Would've denatured any DNA.

(She stands up and walks around the carpeting.)  

GREG:  Yeah, we checked all the local places that rent them.   Connors' name 
didn't come up.

CATHERINE:  How about the husband's?

GREG:  Nope.  And he's still missing.

CATHERINE:  So what's this?

(She points to a circle on the carpet marked GS 102.)  

GREG:  That is a single, distinct blood drop -- not from the victim, not from 
the husband.  They didn't clean the whole carpet.  Unknown female.  We also 
found soil trace, identified as scheelite, a tungsten ore.  Apparently, Connors' 
ranch is near old tungsten mines by McCade.

CATHERINE:  (shakes her head)  How is Connors, this pig farmer, connected to the 
victim?

GREG:  Oh, he's in kind of a club with the victim's husband.

CATHERINE:  Kind of a club?

CUT TO:  



[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – BACK ROOM  -- DAY]

(Grissom flips through a book of drawings of aliens, UFOs and other unidentified 
creatures.  He closes the book to look at the title, “To Walk Among Us.”)  

(He puts the book down.  The next book on the bookshelf is, “Serpents of the 
Universe: A Comprehensive Account of the Reptilian Conspiracy.”)  

(He turns and looks at the various items on the table – UFO magazines, a photo, 
tin foil, tape.  He picks up the photo of two men and a woman.  He puts the 
photo down and opens a magazine to a yellow flyer.  It reads:  
     APRIL 15, 2006
     FRIENDSHIP AUDITORIUM
     McCADE, NEVADA
     SPECIAL PRESENTATION
     BASED ON THE WORK OF DR. SIDNEY BUCKMAN
     WE ARE NOT ALONE.  COME HEAR THE TRUTH.  )

(He picks up the flyer and looks at it.)  



[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – LIVING ROOM / BACK ROOM -- DAY]

(Sara walks into the house as the coroners are wheeling out the body.  She walks 
through the hallway and into the back room where Grissom is.)  

SARA:  Want me to take the living room?  Looks like Armageddon came on a 
Thursday.

GRISSOM:  Do you believe that intelligent life exists on other planets?

SARA:  I'm not sure there's intelligent life on this planet.

(He gives her a look.)  

SARA:  I'll get started.

[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT – INTERVIEW ROOM -- DAY]  

(Brass walks in and talks with Shannon Turner.)  

BRASS:  Ms. Turner.

SHANNON TURNER:  I already went through this a week ago.

BRASS:  You know, you're right.  But let's go through it again.  Chyna De Vere 
is dead.  And her remains were found on your boyfriend's ranch.

SHANNON TURNER:  Yeah, not my boyfriend -- my friend.  And furthermore, I never 
knew Chyna De Vere.

BRASS:  She wasn't a member of your club?

SHANNON TURNER:  No.  If she was, I would have known her, and I didn't.

BRASS:  Her husband was.  And he's MIA.  You know, the club's getting smaller 
and smaller by the minute.  This morning, Hank Connors died.  

(Shannon Turner appears shocked and upset by the news.)  

BRASS:  When we went up there to arrest your friend, he shot himself.  And I'm 
getting the feeling that you're going to be missing a meeting, too.  Look, 
Shannon, you alibied a killer.  You're already an accessory to one murder.  If 
Hank Connors killed Chyna's husband, too ...

SHANNON TURNER:  Oh.  Oh, is that what you think happened?

BRASS:  Tell me where he is.  Hmm?  You know, this can work in your favor with 
the DA.

SHANNON TURNER:  Oh, you know what?  I'm not really worried about that.

[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – BACK ROOM -- DAY]

(Grissom is looking at the notices and clippings pinned to the bulletin board.  
He looks around and notices the pull-down projector screen up on the ceiling.  
He pulls down the projector screen and looks around for the projector.)  

(At the end of the room, the projector is set up in the closet.  Grissom turns 
the closet light on and switches on the projector.)  

(The image of Dr. Sidney Buckman appears on the screen.)  

SIDNEY BUCKMAN:  Adam and Eve were not only the first humans on the Earth, they 
were bait ... for intelligent life forms elsewhere in the cosmos, refugees from 
planets that could no longer sustain them.  But why Earth?  Deoxyribonucleic 
acid.  DNA.  The blueprint of human life is the key to their survival.  Without 
it, they will perish.

CUT TO:  



[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT – INTERVIEW ROOM – DAY]

(The door opens and Greg walks in with his kit.)

GREG:  Hi, Ms. Turner.  My name's Greg Sanders; I'm with the Crime Lab.  I have 
a warrant to take a sample of your DNA.

(He puts his kit on the table and gives the warrant to her.)  

SHANNON TURNER:  You're not touching me.

GREG:  Well, ma'am, this is standard procedure.

(Greg opens his kit and takes out a swab.)  

SHANNON TURNER:  I know who you are.  

GREG:  I'm just going to swab the inside of ...

(He approaches her with the swab.  She stands up and violently pushes him away 
from her.)  

SHANNON TURNER:  Hey! Not!

(The woman officer grabs her and holds her as she struggles.)  

OFFICER:  Calm down.

SHANNON TURNER:  Get off of me!

OFFICER:  Calm down, ma'am.  Calm down.

SHANNON TURNER:  All of you get away from me!  Get him away from ... !

OFFICER:  Calm down.

(They force her to sit down on the floor.)  

SHANNON TURNER:  No!

GREG:  Let's try this again.

(He tries to get the swab in her mouth and she bites down on his hand.)  

OFFICER:  Let go of his hand!  Let go of his hand, ma'am.

(Greg looks at the bite mark on his hand.)  

GREG:  That bitch bit me.

(Greg turns and swabs her saliva from his hand.)  

GREG:  I got my sample.

(He turns and heads back to his kit.)

[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – BACK ROOM -- DAY]

(Grissom continues to watch the film.)  

SIDNEY BUCKMAN:  (on film)  The first encounters between humans and 
extraterrestrials took place over a hundred thousand years ago in Atlantis, and 
in its sister civilization in the Pacific, Lemuria.  Ancient civilizations on 
every continent have recorded evidence of these encounters.  These visitors were 
highly advanced and did not appear in human form.  Now, the Mayans called them 
Chanes -- people of the serpents-- and in Hebrew legend, the snake represented 
knowledge.  Of course it did.  It was not human.  Not of this Earth.

CUT TO:  



[INT. TURNER RESIDENCE – DAY]

(Catherine and Brass walk into the living room.  Catherine puts her kit down 
while Brass looks at the books on the shelf.)  

BRASS:  Shannon sure has a lot of books.

(There are titles for ‘Foundation for “A Course in Miracles”’, ‘Flying Saucers: 
Top Secret,’ ‘The Handbook of Artificial Intelligence,’ ‘Astronomy: The Cosmic 
Journey,’ and  A Different Approach to Cosmology. )

BRASS:  UFO's, alien abduction ...

(Catherine is looking at the mail on the desk.  She flips the card over.  The 
address on the other side is to:  
     SHANNON TURNER
     1654 HILLIS AVE
     LAS VEGAS NV  89101  )

CATHERINE:  Chyna was a dealer at the Palermo.  Looks like Shannon was a player.  
Gold level.

(The card is for PALERMO PLAYER’S CLUB, LOOSEST SLOTS IN VEGAS.

BRASS:  Yeah, tell me they never met.  We'll check the Palermo security.

(Catherine opens the desk drawer and takes out a sketchbook.  Brass walks over 
as Catherine flips through it.  She sees sketches of various designs and 
reptilian creatures.)  

CATHERINE:  Reptiles ... UFOs ...

(She turns the page over to a sketch of a warrior woman.)  

BRASS:  Xena, Warrior Princess.

CUT TO:  



[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – BACK ROOM -- DAY]

(Grissom continues to watch the film.)  

SIDNEY BUCKMAN:  (on film)  History is replete with stories of the heroic 
destruction of serpents: Perseus and Medusa, St. George and the Dragon, St. 
Patrick and the Snakes of Ireland.

(Sara walks in and stops to watch the film with Grissom.)  

SIDNEY BUCKMAN:  (on film)  But these are not merely legends ...

SARA:  What is this?

GRISSOM:  I think their UFO club is based on the teachings of this guy.

SIDNEY BUCKMAN:  (on film)  ... and the natural form of these invaders is not 
human.  They are described in ancient accounts as serpents and dragons.  And 
man's weapon against them is the sword.  Cut off the tail, the serpent lives.  
Cut off its head, and it dies.

SARA:  So Connors cut off her head because he thought she was a serpent from 
outer space?

(Grissom turns and looks at her.  The film ends.)  

CUT TO:  



[INT. TURNER RESIDENCE – DAY]

(Catherine continues to flip through the sketchbook to show more reptilian 
creatures.  Brass is in the kitchen.)  

BRASS:  Catherine ... check this out.

(Catherine heads for the kitchen.  Brass shows her a mug with a photo of Preston 
De Vere and Shannon Turner.  The caption reads:  Chillin’ in Cabo.)  

BRASS:  Chyna De Vere's husband, Preston.

CATHERINE:  What's Shannon doing with him?

BRASS:  "Chillin' in Cabo."

(Catherine sees something black like a handle up on the top cabinet shelf.  She 
takes the stepladder out to see what it is.)  

(A brown cat trots into the kitchen.)  

BRASS:  Aww.  Well, while Mommy's in custody, I guess the kitty's hungry; I'll 
call Animal Control.

(Catherine climbs up the stepladder and finds a long blade sword.)  

CATHERINE:  Oh, Jim ...

BRASS:  Well, hello, Xena.

[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – FRONT YARD -- DAY]

(The pigs are sunning in the mud on one half of the pen.  On the other side of 
the pen, Nick digs through the mud and finds what looks like a human bone.)  

NICK:  Oh, boy.

[INT. CSI – FORENSIC AUTOPSY – NIGHT]  

VARIOUS CUTS OF:  

(David Phillips and Robbins use a drill to unscrew Chyna’s head off the mounting 
board.)  

(They remove the board and cut the wire holding the sides of the head together.)  

(They unwrap the skin and hair from around the skull, which was padded with dry 
straw.)  

ROBBINS:  Look what he used on the incision.

CUT TO:  



[INT. CSI – FORENSIC AUTOPSY – NIGHT]

(Robbins shares his findings with Grissom.)  

GRISSOM:  Duct tape?

ROBBINS:  Yeah, he used it to close up the laceration from a sharp force 
perimortem wound.  Corresponds to the indentation in the skull.

(He picks up the skull and shows Grissom the mark.)  

GRISSOM:  Could that be the fatal wound?

ROBBINS:  Give me the rest of the body and I can tell you.

GRISSOM:  Nick's working on it.

(Robbins peels back the duct tape.)  

GRISSOM:  Almost three inches, smooth-edge blade; you know, Catherine found --

ROBBINS:  (interrupts)  Yeah, I heard.  A sword -- everyone's talking about this 
one.  

(He glances over his shoulder at Hank Connors on the table behind him.)  

ROBBINS:  Why would anybody want to taxidermy a human head?

GRISSOM:  I'm still working on the "how."

ROBBINS:  That, I can tell you.  Mounted one myself.  A deer-- Dad was a hunter.  
First, our guy had to separate the head from the body.  For that, he used a 
serrated-edge knife.

(Robbins shows Grissom the pattern on the bottom of the skin.)  

ROBBINS:  Dad used a carving knife, same one we used at Thanksgiving.  When mom 
found out, she almost killed him with it.

GRISSOM:  Heartwarming.

ROBBINS:  Yeah, so then ... he had to flesh the skin away from the underlying 
muscle.

(Quick flash of:  Hank peeling the skin off the muscle.  End of flash.)  

ROBBINS:  Next, he would've stretched the skin out on a board, -- 

(Quick flash of:  Hank rubs rock salt into the skin.)  

ROBBINS:  (v.o.)  -- rubbed it with rock salt ...

(End of flash.)  

ROBBINS:  ... then waited two days.  Then he tanned the skin to preserve it, 

(Quick flash of:  Hank working on the head.)  

ROBBINS:  (v.o.)  -- hydrated it with a borax and water solution to keep the 
bugs off.

(End of flash.)  

ROBBINS:  Next, he cleaned the skull, filled the imperfections with clay, 
sawdust, anything at hand.  Popped in two glass eyes, and then ...

(Robbins puts the skull back in the skin.)  

GRISSOM:  And he's got the best-looking wall mount in the neighborhood.  (smiles 
and nods.)  We're going to need to process that toolmark.

ROBBINS:  Yeah, I'll get it over to CSI.

CUT TO:  



[INT. CSI – LAB -- NIGHT]  

(Catherine dusts the blade for prints.  She finds several.  She takes a print 
lift of the prints.)  

(Mandy walks in and finds Catherine in her chair.)

MANDY:  Oh ... nice sword.  Mm-hmm!  I dated a guy on the fencing team.  His 
thighs were incredible.  (She takes a lift of a print on the hilt.)  Did you 
want to show me something?

CATHERINE:  Yes, the, uh, tip has been wiped clean.  Negative for blood.  But I 
did find a couple of partials on the blade just above the hilt.

(Catherine takes her gloves off.)  

MANDY:  Okay.

CATHERINE:  And a couple of full prints on the handle.

(She takes her coat off.)  

CUT TO:  



[INT. CSI – FORENSIC AUTOPSY -- NIGHT]  

(Nick measures the length of the bone he found.)  

NICK:  The femur measures 461 millimeters.  (He checks the height chart.)  Gives 
us a height for a white female of 5'6".

GRISSOM:  Exactly Chyna's height.  How about for a male?

NICK:  5'7".

GRISSOM:  Preston De Vere is too tall.  Did you measure the head of the femur?

NICK:  No, sir, I was just about to. 

(He measures the head.)  

NICK:  41 point s ... point five millimeters.

GRISSOM:  It's a female.

NICK:  You want my theory?

(Grissom listens and Nick ticks off the items on his fingers.)  

NICK: This little piggy went to market.  This little piggy stayed home.  This 
little piggy had Chyna.

GRISSOM:  Yeah.  (He looks at the markings on the bone.)  Human teeth aren't 
strong enough to leave these marks.

NICK:  And it is consistent with Connors chopping off her head and tossing his 
"girls" a bone.

GRISSOM:  (sighs)  Okay ... go back to the ranch.  See if you can find the rest 
of her.

CUT TO:  



[INT. CSI – LAB]

(Greg is in the lab when Catherine walks in with her sword.  Greg’s hand is 
bandaged.)  

CATHERINE:  Hey, Greg.  You up for a bite?

(Greg laughs like it’s the funniest joke ever.  He pounds on the table as if 
unable to control his laughter.)  

(Catherine watches him as she takes her jacket off.)  

(He continues laughing, then stops.)  

GREG:  No.  I am on antibiotics, I had a tetanus shot--  I'm having a pretty bad 
year.

(Catherine puts her lab coat on.)  

CATHERINE:  Oh, it's only a bad year if you do a bad job, Greg.  You're having a 
great year.

(She winks at him.)  

GREG:  (suggestively)  I got that gel ready for you.

(Catherine picks up her sword and starts cutting into the gel.)  

VARIOUS DISSOLVES OF:  

(As Greg works on one side of the table, Catherine cuts impressions into the gel 
on the other side of the table.  She makes several cuts working her way down the 
sword.)  

(Meanwhile, Greg prepares the cast and makes an impression of the marking in the 
skull.)  

(Catherine stands the gel impression on its edge and makes a cast impression of 
the sword cuts.)

(Greg removes the cast from the skull.  He puts it under the scope.)  

(Catherine peels off the impression from the sword cut and gives it to Greg, who 
puts it under the second scope to compare.  He looks under the scope and finds a 
MATCH.)  

GREG:  Voila!

CATHERINE:  We have our weapon?

GREG:  Yeah, and a mounted human head, a suicidal pig farmer, a missing husband, 
and a bunch of UFO believers.  What could be next?

CUT TO:  



[INT. CSI – GRISSOM’S OFFICE]  

(Grissom’s lizard is in its tank.  Grissom sits at his desk looking up a website 
on the DRACO CONSPIRACY.  The lizard on the monitor removes its mask to reveal 
photos being morphed into reptilians.)  

(Warrick walks in.)  

WARRICK:  Wendy got results back on the blood from Connors' workbench in the 
pickup truck.  It's Chyna De Vere.

GRISSOM:  Good. Come here, take a look at this.

(Warrick walks around the desk to look at the humans morphing into reptilians.)  

WARRICK:  Hey, isn't that, uh ... ?

GRISSOM:  Yeah.  You can see Dick Cheney, Al Gore, all nine Supreme Court 
Justices shape-shift into reptilians.  Did you know that, for thousands of 
years, creatures from the constellation Draco have been mating with humans to 
form a super-race that includes 43 US presidents, most members  of Congress, and 
the entire British royal family?

(Catherine walks in.)  

GRISSOM:  Hey, did Shannon Turner have a cat?

CATHERINE:  Yeah.

GRISSOM:  So did Hank Connors.  See, it figures.  Cats are a natural enemy of 
reptiles.

CATHERINE:  I'll keep that in mind.  The sword I found at Shannon Turner's made 
the tool marks on the skull.  Shannon's prints were all over the handle.  And 
the partials on the blade, above the hilt -- Chyna De Vere's.

GRISSOM:  She tried to defend herself.

(Quick flash to:  Shannon is sparring with Chyna, who is unarmed.  Chyna grabs 
the sword’s blade to avoid getting hit.  End of flash.)  

CATHERINE:  Did Wendy find anything on that drop of blood on the carpet?

WARRICK:  Came back to Shannon.

GRISSOM:  Yeah, but Brass interviewed her last week.  She didn't have any 
visible cuts.

CATHERINE:  Warrick?  Come at me with a sword.

(Warrick steps forward and Warrick advances toward Catherine with a make-believe 
sword.  Catherine puts her hands up and pushes Warrick’s make-believe sword back 
in his face.)  

CATHERINE:  All right, so I push back hard enough ...

(Quick flash to:  Shannon comes at Chyna with the sword.  Chyna pushes the sword 
back and hits Shannon in the face.)  

CATHERINE:  (v.o.) --  bang you on the nose.  Brass wouldn't have seen that.

(End of flash.)  

(Grissom concedes the possibility.)  

GRISSOM:  But what I don't understand is if Shannon Turner and Hank Connors 
really believed in a reptilian conspiracy and they felt threatened by the

[INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE – LAND AROUND AREA -- DAY]

(Officers are moving slowly around the area looking for evidence.)  

(Warrick walks around the house.)  

WARRICK:  Hey, Nick!

NICK:  (o.s.)  Yeah?

WARRICK:  I got something over here.

(Warrick walks over to a circular stone formation on the ground with ashes in 
the center.  He uses a stick and pushes the ashes and dirt aside.  Nick walks 
over to him.)  

(Nick kneels down in the dirt as Warrick picks up a bone.)  

NICK:  Man, that looks human.

(He puts the bone down and picks up his camera to snap a photo of it.)  

(Nick pushes the ashes and dirt around with a stick and picks up a fabric 
remnant.)  

(Warrick sifts through the ashes and finds a ring.  He reads the inscription 
inside.)  

(Nick finds a second ring and reads the inscription.)  

WARRICK:  (reads)  "To Chyna, Love, Preston.”  

NICK:  “To Preston, Love, Chyna."

WARRICK:  Till death do us part.

(They look at each other.  Nick holds the ring up.)  

FADE OUT.

[INT. CSI – A/V LAB -- DAY]  

(Sara and Archie go over the Palermo security video.)  

ARCHIE:  According to the Palermo, Shannon Turner joined the Player's Club last 
month.  Whenever a player uses a club card at a table game, the floor man writes 
down what game you played, where you sat, what time you started, time you quit.  
Then they estimate your average bet, win-loss ratios ...

SARA:  No wonder she believed in conspiracies.

ARCHIE:  Well, this is the first time Shannon used her card.

(He fast-forwards the video and stops on Shannon at Chyna’s table.)  

SARA:  And the dealer is Chyna.

(He puts up different video.)  

ARCHIE:  A week later.  By now, she's a regular.

SARA:  Looks like they're best friends.

(He puts up another video.)  

ARCHIE:  Two weeks ago.
 
SARA:  Table's full.  She's waiting for a seat.

ARCHIE:  Shannon only gambled at Chyna's table.

SARA:  Maybe Chyna was her lucky charm.

ARCHIE:  That depends on how you define luck.

(Archie puts up Shannon’s tally sheet showing losses every week.)  

SARA:  She never walked away a winner.

ARCHIE:  Maybe she blamed Chyna for her losses.

SARA:  She's too friendly.  I think she was gaining her trust.  Stalking her.

ARCHIE:  Well, it's Las Vegas.

CUT TO:  



[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT – INTERVIEW ROOM – DAY]

(Brass and Grissom interview Shannon Turner.)  

SHANNON TURNER:  It's not a crime to play blackjack.

BRASS:  You're right, it's Las Vegas.  But it is a crime to lie to the police.  
We found your blood in Chyna's apartment.

SHANNON TURNER:  Then it was planted.

BRASS:  By whom?

SHANNON TURNER:  How should I know?  Maybe you planted it.

BRASS:  Look ... you killed Chyna, and you got Connors to help you move the 
body.  And Connors killed Preston, because he was obsessed with you and wanted 
to eliminate the competition.  

(Brass puts a photo of the SHANNON AND PRESTON mug on the table.  Shannon 
swallows.)  

BRASS:  You lied about knowing Chyna; you going to lie about this, too?

SHANNON TURNER:  Preston can't be killed.  His cells don't die.  He's over 4,000 
years old.

BRASS:  Oh, 4,000.  The new fifty.

SHANNON TURNER:  You just don't know the truth when you hear it.  Preston is a 
great man.  He has the wisdom of the ages.  Beyond your capacity to understand.

GRISSOM:  Ms. Turner ... was Chyna a reptilian?

(She doesn’t answer him.)  

(Grissom opens the folder and takes out a sketch of a reptilian with a crown.)  

GRISSOM:  Who is this?

SHANNON TURNER:  The Reptilian Athena.

GRISSOM:  Is that Chyna De Vere?

(Again, Shannon doesn’t answer him.)  

(Grissom shows her the sketch of the warrior princess.)  

GRISSOM:  Tell me about this one.

(She smiles.)  

SHANNON TURNER:  That's the Protector of Mankind.

BRASS:  Is that you?

(Brass sips from his water cup.  Shannon sees his snake-like forked tongue slip 
out of his mouth and drink from the water.)  

(Brass stops drinking.  He looks at Shannon.)

SHANNON TURNER:  Hmm?

GRISSOM:  Did you slay the Reptilian Athena?

SHANNON TURNER:  I did what I had to do.

(Quick flash of:  Shannon is dressed in her warrior princess outfit.)  

CHYNA DE VERE:  What’s this all about?  

SHANNON TURNER:  I have to kill you.

CHYNA DE VERE:  What?!

(Shannon takes out her sword and attacks Chyna.  Chyna fights back.  Eventually, 
Shannon knocks Chyna back.)  

(End of flashback.)  

SHANNON TURNER:  It's not like there's nothing at stake here.  Just the survival 
of the human race.

BRASS:  Yeah, I'm just a phone booth away from changing into my tights and 
saving the world.

CUT TO:  



[INT. CSI – A/V LAB]  

(Archie is in the lab going through the security video.  Warrick walks by.)  

ARCHIE:  Hey, Warrick, I got something.

(Warrick walks into the lab.)  

ARCHIE:  I was scanning the casino footage from the day Chyna disappeared.  And 
she had a visitor--her husband.

WARRICK:  She doesn't look so happy to see him.

(On the video, Chyna and her husband are arguing.  She holds out the palm of her 
hand.  He takes his ring off and gives it to her.)  

WARRICK:  Well, we don't need words to get that.

ARCHIE:  "Give me your ring.  I really, really hate you.  Our marriage is over."

(She takes her ring off and slips both rings in her pocket.)  

WARRICK:  Well, that means she was killed before she had a chance to change her 
clothes.  That would explain why we found both rings in the ashes.  But it 
doesn't explain what happened to him.

CUT TO:  



[INT. CSI – FORENSIC AUTOPSY -- DAY]  

VARIOUS DISSOLVES OF:  

(David brushes the ashes and dirt off the bones and hands them to Robbins, who 
sets them in their correct place on the table.)  

(When they’re done, David looks at the table.  Robbins snaps a photo of the 
bones.)  

(David turns over a vertebra with a bullet inside.  Robbins takes a photo of 
it.)

(Robbins extracts the bullet from the vertebra.)  

CUT TO:  



[INT. CSI – FORENSIC AUTOPSY -- DAY]  

(Robbins shows Warrick the bullet.)  

ROBBINS:  I found it embedded in this.  T-9 vertebra.

WARRICK:  But that means the bullet had to pass through at least one vital 
organ.

ROBBINS:  Yeah, heart, lung, and then the dome of the liver.  That's your COD. 

WARRICK:  And you're sure these are Chyna De Vere's bones.

ROBBINS:  Yeah, pelvis is female.  No duplicate bones.  The femur's the same 
length as the one the pigs were chomping on.  It's her.

(Warrick holds out the open bindle.  Robbins drops the bullet inside.)  

WARRICK:  Okay. Well, we'll run this against Connors' guns.

CUT TO:  



[EXT. LAS VEGAS CITY LIGHTS (STOCK) – NIGHT]

CUE SOUND:  (v.o.)  GODZILLA ROARING



[INT. APARTMENT – BEDROOM – NIGHT]

(Sara and Grissom are watching an old Godzilla movie on the television set.  
Godzilla stomps through the city.  People scream and run.  Godzilla uses his 
tail and smashes into a building.)  

(Sara is leaning back against the bed headboard while eating yogurt.  Grissom 
sits near the foot of the bed with Bruno the dog.)  

SARA:  I always feel sorry for the monster.

GRISSOM:  (amused)  Then you better turn it off before they use the Oxygen 
Destroyer on him.

(Grissom gets up and leaves the bed.  He whistles.  Bruno gets up and follows 
Grissom.)  

(After a moment, Sara puts the yogurt down on the bedside table and turns the 
television set off with the remote.  An envelope stuck in between the pages of a 
book catches her eye.  It has her name on it.)

(She takes the envelope out and looks at it, partially addressed to her.)

(She looks at it for a moment, then opens it.  It’s the letter Grissom wrote to 
her back in 7X13-Redrum.  He never sent it to her.  Sara reads it.)  

GRISSOM:  (v.o.)  I don't know why I find it so difficult to express my feelings 
to you.  Even though we're far apart, I can see you as vividly as if you were 
here with me.  I said I'll miss you, and I do.

(In his study, Grissom takes a photo off his desk and moves to the worktable 
where he’s constructing 

GRISSOM:  (v.o.)  As Shakespeare more ably wrote my sentiment in Sonnet 47, 
     "Thyself away art present still with me;  
     For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move, 
     and I am still with them ...  

(Grissom is in the next room working on his miniature scene.)  

GRISSOM:  (v.o.)  
     Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight, 
     Awakes my heart to heart's and eye's delight."

(We hold on Sara.  She turns and looks over in Grissom’s direction.)  

WARRICK:  (PRE-LAP)  Fire in the hole!

CUT TO:  



[INT. CSI – BALLISTICS LAB]  

(Warrick files into the tank.  BANG!)  

(Nick jumps.  His earphones aren’t on yet.)  

NICK:  You're supposed to let me get these things on.

WARRICK:  Hey, you were supposed to be ready.

(Warrick puts the gun down and opens the container to get the can with the 
bullet in it.)  

WARRICK:  I don't know, man.  Maybe it would have worked out if Tina was someone 
who did what we did.  At least she'd understand the hours.

(Warrick empties out the contents of the can.)  

NICK:  Oh, I don't know.  I don't think it's a good idea to date somebody you 
work with.  You never really get away from work or them the way you need to, you 
know?

(Warrick picks the bullet out and juggles it from hand to hand.)  

WARRICK:  You mean, like me and you, baby?

NICK:  Yeah, exactly, honey.

WARRICK:  Mm-hmm.

(He gives the bullet to Nick.  Nick looks at it under the scope.  It looks like 
a match.)  

NICK:  Yeah, it looks like the bullet that killed her came from Connors' Walther 
PPK.

(Quick flash of:  Chyna is on the floor crying.  Hank Connors stands above her 
with the gun pointed down at her.  He fires.  End of flash.)  

FLASH TO:  



[EXT. LAS VEGAS DESERT (STOCK) – DAY]



[EXT. LAS VEGAS DESERT ROADWAY – DAY]

(Brass parks his car on the side of the road.  The officer car following him 
stops as well.  A sheriff’s car is parked on the opposite side of the road with 
the sheriff waiting for them.)  

JOE VASQUEZ:  Captain Brass?

BRASS:  Jim.

(They shake hands.)  

JOE VASQUEZ:  Joe Vasquez.

BRASS:  How you doing, Joe?

JOE VASQUEZ:  I got a call from a passing motorist.  Naked guy running around in 
the desert.  That may not be so strange where you work, but out here, it gets 
our attention.  I recognized him from the news.

BRASS:  Thanks a lot, Joe.

(Brass looks into the back of the car.)  

BRASS:  Preston De Vere?

PRESTON DE VERE:  Very glad to be back home.

BRASS:  What are you doing out here, Preston?

PRESTON DE VERE:  I was a captive, held against my will.  From what the sheriff 
tells me, I've been gone over a week.  Feels like just seconds.

BRASS:  Can you describe these people to me?

PRESTON DE VERE:  Well, yes, but you won't believe me.

BRASS:  Try me.

PRESTON DE VERE:  They were very tall ... with reptilian features: large, 
almond-shaped, red eyes.

FADE OUT.

(COMMERCIAL SET)  



FADE IN:  

[INT. HOSPITAL – PRESTON’S ROOM -- DAY]  

(Brass walks in.  Preston is in bed.)  

BRASS:  Hey, what’s happening, Lizard King?

PRESTON DE VERE:  I appreciate your skepticism.  I anticipated it.  Insight 
begins with asking the right questions.

(He sits up and puts his glasses on.)  

BRASS:  Okay, then, when exactly were you abducted?

(Preston takes his glasses off and looks at Brass.)  

PRESTON DE VERE:  Nine days ago.

(He puts his glasses on.)  

BRASS:  Oh, so you were abducted before your wife was missing.

PRESTON DE VERE:  What do you mean Chyna is missing?  What happened to her?

BRASS:  What are you trying to tell me?  You don't know your wife is dead?

PRESTON DE VERE:  That was callous of you.  Unnecessarily cruel.  I had no idea.  
That sweet girl ... 

(Preston takes his glasses off, covers his face with his hand and sobs loudly.  
Brass is unmoved.)

BRASS:  Stop the crocodile tears.  Come on.  Preston.  If she was so sweet, what 
were you doing Chillin' in Cabo with Shannon Turner?

PRESTON DE VERE:  Are you suggesting that was romantic?

(Preston puts his glasses back on.)  

BRASS:  Well, you got your pictures on the coffee mug.  That's romantic to me.  
You better come up with an alibi -- on planet Earth -- of where you were the 
night your wife was killed.

PRESTON DE VERE:  That's easy.  

(Preston slides off the bed and stands up.)  

PRESTON DE VERE:  There's a woman, and it is romantic, very romantic.  I was 
with her when they took me.  Her name is Clarissa Niles.

CUT TO:  



[EXT. LAS VEGAS CITY (STOCK) – DAY]



[INT. ROOM -- DAY]  

(An Alien Abduction Survivor’s Group meeting is being held.)  

MAN:  We are victims ... and no one is listening to us.  We're powerless against 
what's going on.

(Brass and Grissom arrive with several officers.  They wait in the doorway while 
the group meeting continues.)  

MAN:  We're not crazy.  If you look at who has had contact, we're airline 
pilots, professionals, teachers, scientists.  I don't know how to get the truth 
out, but we have to.

(Some of the members nod in agreement.)  

BARBARA:  Has anyone talked to Shannon in the last couple of days?

(Several members shake their heads.)  

MAN:  They've got her.

GRISSOM:  It's like we're witnessing some form of mass hallucination.  You know, 
they think the cops are part of this reptilian conspiracy as well.  That's why 
Shannon attacked Greg.

(Quick flash to:  [INT. P.D. -- INTERVIEW ROOM]  The officers hold Shannon down 
while Greg stands over her.)  

GREG:  Let’s try this again.

(As she looks at him, his hand turns scaly and green with webbed fingers.)  

(Shannon looks at Greg and his face turns reptilian.)  

(End of flash.)  

BRASS:  And why Hank Connors shot himself.

(Quick flash to:  [EXT. CONNORS RESIDENCE]  Hank looks out his window.  The 
officers are advancing toward the house with their guns.  A cloud of dust blocks 
his view.  When it clears, Hank sees reptilians dressed as officers and carrying 
guns as they advance toward the house.)  

CUT TO:  

(Hank stands in front of the door to his back room.  He sees a reptilian 
advancing toward him down the hallway.  He puts the gun under his chin and 
shoots himself.)  

(End of flashes.)  

(Brass steps into the room and holds up his badge.)  

BRASS:  Sorry to interrupt.

MAN:  Don't make eye contact with them.

(Everyone in the group looks away.)  

(Brass looks at Grissom.)  

GRISSOM:  Please, we come in peace.

BRASS:  Which one of you is Clarissa Niles?

(The man looks at Clarissa and shakes his head.)

MAN:  Don't.

(Clarissa raises her hand.)  

CLARISSA NILES:  It's all right.  I'm not afraid.

CUT TO:  



[EXT. LAS VEGAS CITY (STOCK) – SUNSET]

GREG:  (v.o.)  Got a warrant to tow in Clarissa Niles' car.



[INT. CSI – GARAGE]  

(Greg shows Catherine what he’s found on the tires under the ALS.)  

GREG:  Blue fluorescence is one of the properties of scheelite.

(Catherine puts her gloves on.)  

CATHERINE:  Which was found in the soil at Hank Connors' ranch.

GREG:  (nods)  And Preston beamed down in the same area.

CATHERINE:  Have you looked inside yet?

GREG:  Naw.  I was just about to.

(Catherine opens the back door and looks inside.  She finds men’s shoes and 
clothing.)  

CATHERINE:  Preston was found naked, right?

GREG:  Yeah, it's a recurrent theme in tales of alien abduction.  I practically 
grew up on ‘The X-Files.’

CATHERINE:  Preston's wallet.  Somehow I doubt aliens would have folded his 
clothes when they abducted him.  

(Greg pops the trunk.)  

CATHERINE:  So Clarissa drove him out there and he left his stuff in her car.

GREG:  That's not all he left.

(Catherine joins Greg and she chuckles at the contents in the trunk.)  

GREG:  Steam cleaner.  Just what every estranged husband needs to clean up his 
dead wife's blood.

CATHERINE:  This case just came down to Earth.

CUT TO:  



[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT – INTERVIEW ROOM]

(Brass interviews Clarissa Niles.)  

CLARISSA NILES:  Yes, Preston was at my home in Summerlin.  We were asleep and 
suddenly the room turned very cold.  Freezing.  I woke up and looked over and 
Preston was gone.  I ... I searched the house, outside ... It was as if he 
evaporated.

BRASS:  (SIGHS)  Come on, Clarissa, you're a smart woman, I mean, really.  I 
mean, you have a beautiful home, you're a good citizen, you pay your taxes, you 
vote, you even play a little golf.  You got way too much on the ball to fall for 
this con man.

CLARISSA NILES:  Con man?  You think I'm gullible?  He's a brilliant man.  He 
saved my life.  When we first met, I was very ill.  It was cancer and he cured 
it.

BRASS:  Really?  How'd he do that?

CLARISSA NILES:  He knows how to prevent human cells from dying.  He has 
injections; they're, they're radioactive.  Hospitals won't do it because it 
would make everyone well.  It would put them out of business.

BRASS:  Do you really think he's four thousand years old?  Here.  Let me show 
you something.  (He opens a file folder.  She puts on her glasses.)  Look at 
this.  He's 42.  He claims he's a nutritionist.  He's not.  And look.  Look at 
all these schools and labs he said he went to.  They never heard of him.  He has 
no place of business, no job.  He just preys on vulnerable women.  He got 
Shannon Turner to kill his wife for him.  Got you to give him money.

CLARISSA NILES:  He never asked for it.  I wanted to give it to him.

BRASS:  You would have done anything for him, whether he asked for it or not.

(Quick flashback to:  Preston talks with Clarissa at a group meeting.)  

PRESTON DE VERE:  Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?  (She blushes.)  I 
mean really, really, really beautiful.  More so every day.

CLARISSA NILES:  That's because you cured me.  I-I-I've never felt better or 
happier.

PRESTON DE VERE:  You know, I didn't want to alarm you, but they put an implant 
in you.  They do it while you're sleeping so they can manipulate your thoughts.  
My injections disabled it.  You're not only cancer-free, you're free of their 
control.

CLARISSA NILES:  Oh, my God.  How am I ever going to be able to thank you?

(End of flashback.)  

BRASS:  You drove him out to McCade, you dropped him off, you brought back his 
clothes.  The evidence is all over your car.

CLARISSA NILES:  He loved me.

BRASS:  He used you just like he used everybody.

CUT TO:  



[INT. CSI – TRACE LAB]

(Hodges opens the steam cleaner and finds a single strand of hair in the 
bristles.  He removes the hair.)  



[INT. CSI – FORENSIC AUTOPSY]

(David opens the drawer and takes a single strand of Chyna’s hair.)  



[INT. CSI – GARAGE]

(Greg dusts the plastic steam cleaner water container and finds a print under 
the cover.  He lifts it and scans it into the database.)  



[INT. CSI – HALLWAY/ DNA LAB]

(Hodges shares his findings with Catherine.)  

HODGES:  If they were trying to clean up all the blood, they did a good job.  
Steam cleaner tested positive for blood, but there wasn't enough for DNA.

CATHERINE:  Did you find anything?

(They enter the DNA Lab.)  

HODGES:  Funny you should ask.  Found a hair in the brushes.

CATHERINE:  Oh.

HODGES:  It's on the left.

(Catherine looks in the scope at the two strands of hair.)  

HODGES:  The one on the right is Chyna De Vere's.

CATHERINE:  They're both Chyna's.

(Hodges nods.  Greg bursts into the lab.)  

GREG:  Hey.  So, that steam cleaner was completely wiped down, couldn't find any 
prints.  But then I remembered this story about a CSI down in LA.  Nobody could 
find any prints on a gas can from an arson, but he realized that you got to grip 
it underneath in order to pour out the gas.  And you know what?  He broke the 
case.

CATHERINE:  So whose prints are on the steam cleaner?

GREG:  I just got an AFIS hit:  Preston De Vere.

(Quick flash to:  [INT. CONNORS RESIDENCE]  Chyna is on the floor.  Hank paces 
nearby.  Preston talks with Shannon.)  

PRESTON DE VERE:  You have a destiny.  You were chosen.  You are a Protector of 
Mankind.  Have no fear.  (to Hank)  Cut off her tail, she lives.  Cut off her 
head, she dies.

HANK CONNORS:  No problem.

(Hank picks Chyna up.  There’s a large bloodstain on the carpet.)  

CUT TO:  

(Preston steam cleans the carpet.)  

CUT TO:  

(Preston removes the plastic water container and empties the bloodied water down 
the drain.)

(End of flashback.)  

GREG:  It wasn't a reptilian conspiracy, but it was a conspiracy.

CATHERINE:  Men are snakes.

CUT TO:  



[INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT – HALLWAY]

(The officers lead Preston out through the hallway.  Preston smiles and nods to 
everyone.  Brass follows behind him.)  

BRASS:  So we checked Chyna's bank account.  She had a tidy little inheritance 
until she met you.

PRESTON DE VERE:  Chyna was sucking the life out of me.  She deserved none of 
what she wanted and all of what she got in the end.  I'm glad it took a long 
time for her to die.  I can only imagine the pain.

BRASS:  You know, every time I think about leaving this job, a guy like you 
comes along and reminds me why I can't.

(Brass leaves.  Preston turns and sees Clarissa Niles walk up to him.  She spits 
on his face.  The officer leads her away.)  

SIDNEY BUCKMAN:  (v.o.)  History is replete with stories of the heroic 
destruction of serpents.  

CUT TO:  



[EXT. LAS VEGAS CITY LIGHTS (STOCK) – NIGHT]

SIDNEY BUCKMAN:  (v.o.)  Perseus and Medusa, St. George and the Dragon,  St. 
Patrick and the Snakes of Ireland.  



[INT. GRISSOM’S RESIDENCE – NIGHT]

(Grissom works on constructing his miniature scene while Bruno slobbers at his 
feet.)  

SIDNEY BUCKMAN:  (v.o.)  These are not merely legends.  These are accounts of 
battles for the survival of the human race -- a battle we will lose unless we 
stop killing one another and focus on the real enemies.  

(Grissom applies glue to a piece and puts it on the grid of the room he’s 
constructing.)  

SIDNEY BUCKMAN:  (v.o.)  They are among us.

FADE TO BLACK.
