[edit] Catherine's Suspession

CATHERINE: CSI Brown and I had collected evidence on a case involving a woman whose husband had collapsed. We suspected poison. When we returned to the lab ...

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: You hadn't identified the liquid?

CATHERINE: Not yet, no.

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: And it was consumed in the explosion so I guess we'll never know what it was. In any event, you placed this unidentified chemical under the fume hood.

CATHERINE: Right.

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: Next to an active heat source.

CATHERINE: I didn't know that at the time.

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: Because you didn't check.

(Quick flashback to: CATHERINE walks into the lab. She opens the fume hood and puts the bagged container with the green liquid under it next to the burner. End of flashback. Resume to present.)

GRISSOM: Unlogged evidence gets placed under the fume hood. A hot plate was left on. It's a lab. It's nobody's fault.

CATHERINE: It's my responsibility. I didn't follow procedure.

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: Why not?

CATHERINE: Because there's 24 hours in the day and I'm pulling 16 for the county, spending three pretending to sleep and the other five lying to my daughter that everything's going to be all right.

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: There were 13 active cases in DNA. They are all now tainted or destroyed.

CATHERINE: What do you want to hear? I screwed up. I'm sorry.

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: "Sorry" doesn't cut it. You're on suspension. Five days unpaid leave.

(CATHERINE stands up and leaves the office. GRISSOM gets up to follow her. DIRECTOR COVALLO stops him.)

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: Grissom. We're not done here. I've heard rumors that you've been kicking back Willows' reports.

GRISSOM: One report. The Jenkins case. She made a miscalculation. I've asked her to reissue the report.

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: Great. Well, while you're at it, maybe she can reissue the lab explosion. (beat) Let me explain something to you.

(DIRECTOR COVALLO turns sideways to face the wall away from GRISSOM.)

AUDIO STARTS TO FADE OUT

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: Every one of us ...

(GRISSOM focuses in on DIRECTOR COVALLO'S lips and tries to read it.)

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: (audio fading) In this building, all of us ...

AUDIO FADES OUT COMPLETELY

(DIRECTOR COVALLO continues to speak. GRISSOM interrupts him.)

GRISSOM: Robert. If you have something to say to me, say it to my face.

(The DIRECTOR turns to look at GRISSOM.)

DIRECTOR ROBERT COVALLO: Okay. It's not your job to protect your people. It's to protect the integrity of this lab.

GRISSOM: Without the people, there is no lab.
