- Warrick Brown: Oh, you're only agreeing with Sara's theory because you have a crush on her.
- David Phillips: No, that's why I wore a clean coat.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: [to Dr. Robbins] Hey, Doc, you have a comb?
- [Dr. Robbins and Nick look at her]
- Nick Stokes: Your hair looks great, Cath.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Gee, thanks, Nick.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: [to Dr. Kane] Thanks for your insights, Philip. I'll let you know how this unfolds.
- Dr. Philip Kane: Gil, be careful. Sociopaths are dangerous because they don't function by the same moral code as the rest of us.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: Welcome to my world.
- Sara Sidle: [to Warrick] Interesting voice mail you left me.
- Warrick Brown: What's that?
- Sara Sidle: Meet me behind CSI and bring a cotton nightgown. I'd wear it for you but... uh, I prefer pajamas.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: [about the murder victim] Multiple contusions to the back of the skull. Might've been taken by surprise.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Robbery interruptus?
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: Yeah, I think our robbery suspect is a homicide victim.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: One way to beat the rap.
- Warrick Brown: Spontaneous human combustion is science fiction.
- Sara Sidle: I know.
- Warrick Brown: There's no such thing as a human torch.
- Sara Sidle: What if it is real and we've uncovered it?
- Warrick Brown: Sara, this is a crime scene. Stay with me here, okay? Don't lose it.
- Sara Sidle: I'm not. I'm just open to all theories.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: [to Grissom after Mrs. Marlowe meets her daughter] What were you thinking?
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: [sighs] I don't know. I wanted to observe them, I guess.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: That woman hasn't seen her daughter in 21 years. You actually thought a glass wall would keep them apart?
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: I never thought about that.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: I know. You're not good with people.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: Yeah.
- Tammy Felton: You're making a mistake. I didn't kill my father. We weren't alone.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: I'm sorry, but there's no evidence to indicate that there was a third person present at the crime scene.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Who else was there?
- Tammy Felton: I tried to stop her. I swear.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Tammy, who was with you?
- Tammy Felton: Melissa Marlowe, but that bitch wouldn't listen.
- Sara Sidle: I checked with Homicide again. They found no evidence of foul play.
- Warrick Brown: What about the husband, is he still a suspect?
- Sara Sidle: No motive. O'Riley spoke with friends and relatives. They were a loving couple.
- Warrick Brown: What about, uh... life insurance policies?
- Sara Sidle: No, and you're reaching.
- Warrick Brown: I'm not the one who's reaching here.
- Sara Sidle: We're scientists, right? We want answers, the satisfaction of certainty. I'm not ignoring scientific method. I'm just keeping an open mind. If we eliminate all the alternatives, we're left with spontaneous combustion. That's exciting!
- Warrick Brown: That would be cool, but you've been jumping to conclusions from minute one.
- Sara Sidle: She's a pile of ash.
- Mrs. Marlowe: Twenty-one years ago, the chief of police sat in our living room told us our daughter was dead.
- Hank Marlowe: After all this time, she's in Vegas? That's a hundred miles from our home.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: Well, we still don't know where she is. Her prints in the pottery store tell us that she was here possibly a few weeks ago, but Vegas is a tourist town.
- Hank Marlowe: But you know she's alive.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: I'm still not sure we can find her.
- Mrs. Marlowe: She's our only child. We never gave up hope. We're not giving up now.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: [about Tammy Felton] Dr. Kane, this girl was kidnapped at age four. Would she have any recollection of her prior life?
- Dr. Philip Kane: The theory of infantile amnesia suggests that we have no cognitive memory before the age of three but since Tammy or Melissa was taken from her biological parents at age four, she may remember something of her former life.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: But these memories would be tenuous?
- Dr. Philip Kane: A sound or a smell might awaken some latent image or feeling but she'd have difficulty contextualizing these sensations.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: That's got to be frustrating.
- Dr. Philip Kane: And it's precisely that frustration which dominates this woman's present state of mind. Kidnapped children at that age tend to exhibit some degree of sociopathy as adults.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Such as?
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: Inability to feel guilt, compassion or love, right?
- Dr. Philip Kane: Correct. But the most defining characteristic is their instinct for survival. There's nothing that they won't do.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Tammy Felton needs help. She may be a suspect, but she's also a victim.
- Captain Jim Brass: [about Melissa/Tammy] So we're looking at a split personality?
- Dr. Philip Kane: Quite possible. Two personalities in one.
- Captain Jim Brass: Is there any scientific evidence that supports this disorder?
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: Brain scans have documented changes in the hippocampus of individuals shifting from one personality to another, but would these two personalities be aware of each other?
- Dr. Philip Kane: Well, usually the dominant personality is aware of everything. The subjugated personality is only aware of itself.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: Tammy's the dominant personality.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: But Melissa killed Joseph Felton, Tammy's father.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: Who was also Melissa's kidnapper.
- Captain Jim Brass: Revenge for a kidnapping 21 years after the fact?
- Dr. Philip Kane: Well, it is possible. It may have taken that long for the subjugated personality to break free.
- Captain Jim Brass: Maybe, uh, Miss Mirror-has-two-faces is playing us for fools. We corner her with the evidence, she goes nuts, sets the groundwork for an insanity plea.
- Hank Marlowe: We have no idea where she is.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Look, you're here, she's not and we know that you helped her flee the jurisdiction.
- Mrs. Marlowe: What?
- Captain Jim Brass: Twenty-two bus tickets bought with your credit card to 22 different states? You made sure that we couldn't track her. Now, that's aiding and abetting the flight of a suspected felon.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Wherever you think she is, wherever you're planning on meeting her, she's not there. She played you. Now, if you'll just tell us where she is, we won't file charges, right?
- Captain Jim Brass: Well, if she's apprehended, yes. Otherwise it's a felony. You're going to jail.
- Mrs. Marlowe: [stands up along with her husband] Arrest us.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Think about what you're doing.
- Hank Marlowe: We know exactly what we're doing.
- Mrs. Marlowe: Melissa's free. That's all that matters.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: [as Catherine visits Melissa/Tammy in jail] Thank you. I got a call that Melissa wanted to see me.
- Tammy Felton: Thanks for coming.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Am I speaking to Melissa or Tammy?
- Tammy Felton: Melissa. I know who I am now after spending time with my real parents.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: [shakes her head] I'm not an attorney. There are no privileges here. Whatever you say...
- Tammy Felton: [interrupts her] What are my chances... . in court?
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: The evidence is damaging.
- Tammy Felton: If I plead insanity...?
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: You have a lawyer. Why are you asking me?
- Tammy Felton: You wanted to help me. When I I.D.'d Joe, you were kind. I need you to testify that I was not sane at the time that I killed Joe. My lawyer says that would go a really long way with a jury.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: [shakes her head] I'm not an expert.
- Tammy Felton: But it doesn't matter. You spent time with me. You could answer questions the right way. I can't explain what happened in that room today, but it's like... the only memories I have are of being a little kid. The last 21 years are blank, like they never happened.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Then you shouldn't have any memories of me... . Tammy. There is no Melissa, is there?
- Tammy Felton: Get the hell out of here.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: I'm gone.
- [turns to leave]
- Tammy Felton: [in a little girl voice] Don't go!
- [Catherine stops to look at her]
- Tammy Felton: Don't leave me here with her.
- [in her normal voice]
- Tammy Felton: Just practicing for court. Not bad, huh?
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: [to Grissom] Hey, come on. We're going to be late for the prelim.
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: Tammy Felton's prelim has been postponed indefinitely.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: What, why?
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: She left town. Skipped bail.
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: How much did the parents lose?
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: Their house and their life savings.
- [Catherine sighs]
- CSI Dr. Gil Grissom: It's over. Case closed. We move on.
- [takes off his glasses]
- C.S.I. Night Shift Assistant Supervisor Catherine Willows: Right.
- [turns and walks out of Grissom's office]
