CSI: Vegas (2021) s02e02 Episode Script

The Painted Man

1
Previously on CSI: Vegas
- Why do you want to come back to CSI?
- I got kicked off the board.
- Of the Eclipse?
- Mm-hmm.
Beau Finado. You can call me Beau.
Or Finado. Or Beau Finado.
He ran R and D for a few different
Fortune 500 chemical companies.
Al, you're here.
You said you needed me.
Got a real mess here.
Is this Allie?
- Sure is.
- Hi, I'm Serena Chavez.
Josh, we've talked
a dozen times since then.
Yeah, I should've mentioned it.
It was casual and then
But it's more now, is it?
- Something brought you back.
- Grace Huang.
Grace has been missing for three weeks.
Nobody at the Eclipse
even seemed to care.
I really have no idea
what they're covering up.
Oh, no!
No, please.
No, no!
I'm begging you!
Weak. So weak.
This place sucks.
- I want a refund.
- Seriously.
You won't be saying that in the end.
Necropolis is now closed.
Las Vegas's scariest year-round haunt
reopens tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m.
See you then if you dare.
They should just pay that guy
to stand there with the lights on.
Forget it, man. They're just kids.
Oh, God.
What is that smell?
I think it's coming from the mannequin.
Oh, God, there's a body in there!
Hey, don't leave me!
Guys!
Help!
Got some weird metallic
blue powder here.
Need collection tape. Collection tape
Collection tape. Collection tape.
- Where the hell is the collection tape?
- Beau
- What?
- It's in your pocket there.
- There you go.
- Honestly, it amazes me,
how many people love gore.
Yeah, those in glass houses,
though, right?
So this mannequin,
none of the employees
remember where they got it.
Can't find a purchase order.
I guess he just sort of showed up.
- Got about a zillion cameras.
- Yeah, we'll check,
but the footage gets erased every month.
I hear the guy's been
around longer than that.
Why do this to a body?
Who did this? That's the question.
You're point on this.
You know, my parents
almost named me Stew?
Oh, sorry, I just
never even heard of a body
being this viscous.
The seal must've been airtight.
Any idea what this shell is made of?
It's hardened paint, I think.
FTIR can tell us what kind.
Holds a print really well.
Look, someone loved what they did.
This is Porter in roulette.
I've got a bogey
on the No-Fly list at Table 3.
Show me.
I need all floorhands to Table 3.
Nearing Table 3.
I see her.
You know you're not supposed
to be here, Ms. Willows.
I'm sorry, Frank. I missed you.
Hey, I need a favor.
There's some security footage
I need a look at.
She's gonna be a problem.
I need Mr. Alonso down here.
Copy that.
Fellas, if this is gonna take all day,
could I at least get a club soda?
All the phone calls weren't enough.
You're harassing us in person now.
Just not gonna let this
cocktail waitress thing drop.
My friend went missing.
I'm sorry to be such
a stickler about it.
We've got 2,000 employees, Catherine.
One of them stops
showing up for work, and
suddenly you're implying
Oh, no, I wasn't implying anything.
What-what is it that you think happened?
She thinks
someone on our board
sold this woman to a Sultan.
Or something.
There's no specific
accusation, no evidence
- This is pathetic!
- I'm pathetic?
You don't need this. I've got it.
Come on. We're leaving.
Jodi, I can't believe you of all people
- would cast your lot with that scumbag.
- Please.
Alonso might speak for the board,
but he doesn't speak for me.
I voted against his
motion to remove you.
And now you're physically removing me
from the casino my father built.
It's just so we can talk.
I don't know
what you think happened to this girl,
but I want to help.
Oh, man.
In the ten years since we've been open,
we have never had a crowd this big.
You do realize that's
a real dead body, right?
I know. It's amazing.
I mean, how many haunts can say
Death came through their doors?
Mr. Carter, we need
to know when the deceased
first appeared on your property.
Do you have any idea?
Uh, not really. Um
I mean, we're open year-round,
and I give my people
a lot of creative freedom
to swap out props and gags.
- You know, you got to keep it fresh.
- Mm.
Oh, uh my assistant can answer.
You're asking about Fred, right?
- Uh
- He's been here five months.
I'm sorry. Who's Fred?
The mannequin that fell.
Fred. That's what us
Necropolites call him
in our little fan club.
Do you come here a lot?
Oh, yes. As much as I can.
I know the place inside and out.
Every way in and every way out?
And every ghost, goblin,
and ghoul in between, hmm.
And you're sure that
Fred has been here
Yes, since April 15. Tax Day.
That's why I named him Fred,
after my accountant who
died.
Fred's such a special creature.
You know? He's
I wish I could say goodbye
just one last time.
Okay, um, would you would you mind
just staying put for
one second, Mister ?
Farrow.
But please, it's Gene.
And I'm happy to stick around.
Thank you.
I've got a guy at the tape
with a real Dahmer vibe,
and he basically just admitted
to touching the victim's face.
Who? Show me.
Um, I need an ATL on a man.
About five six,
150 pounds. A dark gray hoodie.
Um, bald. I-I-I just lost him.
I'm right here.
Sir, you're on
the wrong side of the tape.
- You can't be here.
- No, no, please. This is where I belong.
In our crime scene?
It's my scene, too. In a way.
I've been here since the beginning.
I really want to see how it ends.
Yeah.
So do we.
Really appreciate
you taking the time
to talk to us, Mr. Farrow.
It's Gene.
And it's no trouble.
Your prints do appear to be
all over the victim's face.
I'm sure they were.
I always thought he was beautiful.
I actually make creatures myself.
I have a little workshop.
Is that what you do
for work, Mr. Farrow?
- Make creatures?
- It's Gene. Gene.
And no.
I'm the building
superintendent where I live.
253 West Orange.
Um that's right up
the block from Necropolis.
Yes.
How often do you visit?
Four or five times a week, I'd say.
I've always loved horror, see?
When I was little, my condition
kept me out of the sun.
It's, uh, vitiligo.
I burn very easily,
so I just stayed in and
pretended I was a vampire.
Feasting on innocent victims?
Dracula is always misunderstood.
- Um, let's get back to Fred.
- Okay.
Now, you said that you
- named him.
- Mm-hmm.
I was just wondering, um
Well, was that his real name?
Oh.
You think I killed him.
You do.
Don't you?
Well, I am trying to solve this murder,
so I'm taking a close look
at everyone, Mr. Farrow.
It's Gene!
And I had nothing to do with this.
I didn't even know
Am I free to go?
You're the one that volunteered
to talk to us, remember?
No one's keeping you here.
Right.
It's Gene.
Jack, I can't take measurements
with you in my light.
Sonya, are you trying
to ask me nicely to move?
It's like you want me to stab you.
I already measured the shell.
3,154 microns.
Did you calibrate the calipers?
Hey, Hugo.
Guess who's back?
If you're looking for
Dr. Ramirez, he's in Vienna.
Sorry, what?
Some gallery there gave him
a big art show, and
Yeah.
Wow, that's, uh
Yeah, no, good for him.
I'm Allie. This one's mine.
3,157 microns.
I'm Sonya.
Sonya Nikolayevich.
Head Medical Examiner.
Jack Nikolayevich. Her older brother.
My assistant.
So
Your 4-19. The Painted Man.
He is about six foot two, 200 pounds.
35 to 45 years old.
PMI puts death about five months ago.
Well, that's right when he turned up.
He's had a rough time in there.
The shell created an ideal environment
for anaerobic bacterial hydrolysis.
His organs, muscles, skin
all of it was reduced to adipocere.
The fingers on his right
hand are broken.
Correct.
Two fractured distal phalanges.
Right where he cracked open.
Probably from the fall.
If you don't mind, um,
I'd actually like to help.
My, uh, thesis was actually
on rates of decomposition
in unique environments.
- You're Ahalya Rajan.
- Mm-hmm.
I read that paper.
Stay. I could use the help.
Hey, boss.
"Git in here"? What's going on?
That was a formal invitation
to an informal investigation.
We do not have enough evidence
to open up an official case
into a disappearance.
- Grace Huang.
- One of your scholarship students?
Rockstar in my program.
I got her a job at
the Eclipse to pay bills
until she could graduate and start here.
How long has she been missing?
She left work one night last month
and no one's seen her since.
When Catherine asked
around at the casino,
they fired her.
You think your partners
at the Eclipse
Look, I don't know how they're involved,
but I had to break into my own office
to get my file on Grace.
I do have surveillance footage
that I got from a friend at the Eclipse.
Mm.
I mean, this has to be
your own decision, Joshua.
I can do my best to protect you, but
you know, if you get caught
Let's find your friend.
There must be at least
50 distinct layers here.
I guess he just kept painting Fred
until he was rigid
enough to stand upright.
Might have cause here.
Could be postmortem,
but looks like enough blunt force
and penetrating trauma to do it.
What causes a wound like that?
A wrench?
Maybe that hammer in the conservatory?
There's no hammer in Clue.
I'm sorry, have you ever
beaten me at a board game?
Whoa! Uh Max said you might need me?
Yeah, we do. Uh
DNA is dissolved.
So, without fingers to print
or a face to match
in missing persons,
all that's left is dental.
We don't like dental?
Without a presumed-to-be name,
forensic odontology
- can take months.
- Ah.
I might have a faster way
to find out who Fred really is.
Um you're pretty good
with putty, right?
I lowered the silicone
curing rate by 15%
when I worked at Dow,
so, no, I'm not "pretty good".
I'm your huckleberry.
Let's do it.
There.
That's Grace.
End of her shift, headed home.
She looks happy.
Always. It's infectious.
Not seeing any signs of distress.
Mm.
She's not being followed.
She's headed to that silver Camry.
That's Grace's car.
Where'd she go?
She never made it over here.
Is there really not a camera
covering the area between those angles?
The only other movement is that SUV.
That's one of ours.
Takes whales to the airport.
You think she was pulled into it?
We got to get a look at that vehicle.
I doubt Jodi can get us
that car without questions.
And forget about a warrant.
There's no official case.
Well, there's nothing official
about the guy I'm calling.
I think he's ready for his close-up.
Okay, searching missing persons
around the time Fred appeared
at the haunted house.
Everybody, meet Tim Harker.
A missing person
not named Fred.
Mm.
Mr. Harker was 36.
A veterinarian assistant.
His fiancée reported him missing.
Looks like he got taken from
his home five months ago.
He sure didn't get far.
Lived right up the street
from the haunted house.
You know who manages
the apartment complex next door?
Who?
I-I don't understand.
If-if you found Tim, then
then why can't I see him?
- Why-why can't
- Ms. Tran, your fiancé's body is
The state it's in.
You don't want to put
yourself through that.
But you're sure it's him?
Yeah.
Can you take us through
the morning he went missing?
- I-I just came home from a double.
- Mm-hmm.
I thought Tim would be
eating his oatmeal,
like normal.
But instead, this place is trashed.
His chair, that bookcase,
everything's knocked over.
All this time, I-I couldn't
get rid of Tim's stuff.
Seeing it all gave me hope
that that he might
When we found Tim,
this man was at the scene.
He's part of the group
they call Necropolites?
- The haunted house people.
- Yeah.
- They did not like Tim.
- We saw on Tim's Facebook,
he wanted the haunted house shut down?
Do you think that guy killed Tim
over a stupid haunted house?
- It is a theory.
- I begged Tim
to make peace with the owner there,
- but he refused to set foot in that place.
- Boss?
- Bosses?
- Come on.
- Boss people?
- Any luck in the kitchen?
Oh, luminol's having a field day.
It's probably all bleach,
but I'll just keep testing.
Check it out.
Same blue dust I found next to the body.
Metal scrap, from mill work
at the haunted house.
- Are you sure?
- Mm.
If it's here and there,
then that means
- Nothing.
- Are you sure?
- Mm-hmm.
- It sounded like Tim never went to Necropolis.
This-this could be from
the killer's shoes.
Or someone else's.
Booties. Oh, my God.
We're supposed to wear booties.
I-I Man, I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry.
- Did you track that dust in, Beau?
I don't know, I-I, I mean,
I've been working in the area,
but the-the-the dust
The-the-the dust,
the dust doesn't count.
Not anymore.
It's tainted evidence.
We can't use it to put the killer here.
- We can't
- Listen.
We need more than dust.
We need a murder weapon.
We need to know where
this man was painted.
Where he was taken.
Mistakes happen. We adjust.
Oh, there he is.
I owe you one, Trey.
- No way, man.
- You sure you won't get in trouble?
I'm not that good at my job.
Tow the wrong car
at least twice a month.
What's one more little mix-up, right?
God. Miss you, stranger.
You ought to come around more.
My sister asks about you.
Yeah, tell her, uh, tell her I said hi.
- Hell no, I won't.
- Ha, ha.
All right, look, text me
whenever you're done
- with whatever, you know, this is.
- All right.
- All right, thanks.
- Pick her up.
Hey. What's up?
Hey. Look what I got.
My buddy won't say a word. Really.
We go way back.
Vegas born and raised. I know the type.
Big fan of the type.
Let's see where the nav system
says this car has been.
Okay. Two trips the day she disappeared.
One to a gas station.
And the other
60 miles into Ralston Desert.
Wonder what's out there.
Nothing good.
Paint. No trace.
Paint. No trace.
No trace.
Huh.
FTIR says the paint is
industrial grade latex.
The stuff you use to stop
metal from rusting.
Cool.
Are you not gonna tell me
the history of latex paint?
Are you still thinking about earlier?
My massive screwup? Just a bit.
Hey. I was too hard on you.
Okay? Please don't be
too hard on yourself.
What do you tell your kids
when they make a mistake?
That I'm deeply ashamed of them,
but their mother still loves them.
All right, then, Beau.
Your mother still loves you.
No moping.
All right. Let me help you out.
- Yes, please.
- Okay.
We need to find something
that shows Gene's the one
who painted this body.
What have we here?
Check this out.
More blue metal dust.
Mm. Between paint layers.
That didn't come off
the bottom of your trainers.
You think the victim
got painted at Necropolis?
Gene did say he knew every way in
- and every way out of that place.
- Yeah, but
he couldn't turn a man into a mannequin
in the middle of a crowd, right?
There's Michael Myers again.
He doesn't look too happy to see us.
Nikki, you got to keep it moving.
We can't have 'em
bottlenecking like before.
Copy that.
Fans sure don't scare easy.
Eh, a body cracking open
like an Easter egg?
You got to admit, pretty great.
Uh, that "body" has a name.
One you know, actually.
Tim Harker.
You're kidding me.
So that's why he shut up.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
I mean, just
just 'cause he wanted
us out of business
I'm
I'm not a suspect, am I?
'Cause I-I'm not sick enough
to dream up something
You about to say something?
Sir, someone applied
57 coats of paint to Mr. Harker's body.
Now, we think they did it here.
Is there some place that they'd
have enough time or privacy?
Maybe.
If you don't show us,
then you'll be arrested
for obstruction, so
- Right.
- Right.
And here it is.
Uh, gentlemen, excuse me.
Gentlemen?
Um, is this your entire crew?
Who else has access to this area?
How about the whole world?
Most of the doors don't lock.
Security is crap.
It's a damn parade back here.
Crazy fans sneaking in for a peek.
This place must really be haunted.
Our tools sure do have
a way of ghosting.
What's behind this wall?
That's not a wall.
It's a construction flat.
So when was this put up?
About five months ago.
Sorry, guys. This is coming down.
How about that?
That's a lot of paint.
They didn't just paint him here.
They killed him, too.
I can't think of a happy reason
anyone would drive Grace out here.
You have arrived at your destination.
Not to second-guess sultry map lady,
but we sure this is the spot?
SUV stopped here,
turned around and went
back to the Eclipse.
All right, so
Blue is for undisturbed ground.
Red is
Not what we're hoping for.
So, what? We're all suspects now?
Just elimination prints, bud.
You and your guys belong here.
We think we might find
someone who doesn't.
Whoa. This place is a mess.
Carter could make some real
money bringing CSIs back here.
A high-traffic crime scene.
It's my nightmare.
I got to admit, I don't even
know where to begin.
A murder weapon would be a start.
Somebody punched a very strange hole
in Tim Harker's braincase,
right where we are.
And don't be shy with your luminol.
- You might find what they used.
- Well, I can try.
But what if, in some crazy scheme
to avoid getting captured,
the killer disposed of
the murder weapon, huh?
Ooh.
- Tough crowd.
- Sorry. Found an eyelash.
A white eyelash?
There can't be that many people
walking around with a white eyelash.
Gene Farrow has vitiligo.
So, care to explain
how your eyelash ended up
in the Employees Only section
of the haunted house?
Well
I have snuck back there a few times.
To see how the alien
autopsy room is coming.
- It's really exciting.
- So
just curious. That's all?
No.
I might have borrowed some
tools for a special project.
We are going to need to look
at those tools, Mr. Farrow.
It's G
They're in my bedroom.
Ah, this is such a strange feeling.
Nobody's ever seen these guys before.
Wow.
I mean wow.
Thank you.
I-I really am proud of them.
- Arrest him.
- What?
Oh, Gene.
Oh, no, no.
No, no, no.
I-I'm innocent.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and
will be used against you
in a court of law.
You have the right for an attorney.
If you can't afford an attorney,
one will be provided for you.
Hey. What just happened?
That ain't good
but it's not evidence.
That man's going behind bars.
And if you want him to stay there
He admitted to trespassing and burglary.
The arrest is justified.
That's a 24-hour hold.
Wind the clock forward a day,
you got nothing tying him to the murder.
He is back out on the street
and you just made a man
who lives like this
angry.
That looks like
Dig carefully.
This is as deep as it goes.
There's there's nothing here.
Maybe there never was.
Showed her an empty hole to scare her,
told her to disappear?
All right, and then filled it back in?
They know I'm looking.
They moved her body.
Well
let's get this back to the lab.
We can sift for trace there.
Please tell me you found something.
I wish I could. I-I combed through
the entire apartment. No dice.
Gene gets out in 14 hours.
He's made a mistake somewhere.
Check it all again.
Hey. There you are.
Heard you were having a tough time.
- Can't find the murder weapon.
- Mm-hmm.
It's a strange object. Blunt force.
Happened in this room.
I was hoping the killer
might have cleaned
the tool he used and put it back, but
I need to reprocess everything.
We need to.
Are you sure Serena won't mind?
It's gonna be a long night.
Well, then, can we get
some more light in here?
I don't have raccoon vision like you.
Whoa.
Wow, that, that thing is loud.
Tell me about it!
I wonder how they're gonna
get that out of here?
Pieces, probably.
Pieces.
What?
You see?
You didn't need all night.
Just needed a little Folsom Time.
The heat from the saw
must've cooked the oil
in the latent.
- Huh.
- So you can forget about DNA.
- Print's too faint to lift.
- Mm-hmm.
I don't know.
There's something I learned
in one of my FBI classes.
Fluorescent fingerprint tagging.
Hmm.
You tent and fume.
But instead of counting on
the cyanoacrylate
to capture,
it's just a sticky base
for Lycopodium powder.
This stuff's so fine,
it adheres where regular
print powders can't.
And fluoresces under UV light.
Hope you got an A+ in that class.
I'll give you partial credit.
That's not our guy.
You've matched one of
the elimination prints.
What?
- Who-who's Lue Jasper?
- We met him.
He works construction
at the haunted house expansion.
He operates that machine
on a daily basis.
His print there,
it doesn't mean a thing.
We've still got nothing on Gene.
He's
He's gonna get out.
You know, when I was eight,
I had this Bratz doll.
Detective Alicia Keys.
Took her everywhere with me.
You?
I was, uh, never much for dolls.
I'm still learning
how to play with them.
So, what kind of paint
your guy use on Lil' Allie?
It doesn't match.
That's acrylic, and it looks
like it was applied differently.
Well, Gene's not covering a body.
Maybe maybe his
style's evolving, too.
Well, there's lots of
possible explanations.
There's just no proof.
I can't use this to link him
to Tim Harker's murder.
What time is it?
Gene Farrow's getting out of jail?
Right now, all we can prove
is that he stole some tools,
but if we can link any
of them to Tim's abduction
Well, please. Stay as long as it takes.
Ugh.
Beau, you got to stop
beating yourself up
- over the whole shoe thing.
- No. We missed it.
Okay, okay.
Okay, so what are y'all
so excited about?
I think that I screwed up
when I thought I screwed up.
But the real screwup
Slow down, man.
I don't think I contaminated
the victim's bedroom at all.
I found these on a shelf
in Tim's closet.
Blue dust in the treads.
I sure as heck didn't walk there.
So, do you think that the victim
tracked this stuff in after all?
Actually, we're not so sure.
Those are nine and a half,
and Tim was six foot two.
And then
there's this.
Do these belong
Gene is a little guy.
I don't know why
he would leave his shoes
in the victim's bedroom.
Then again, why paint a dead body?
Or turn me into a Cabbage Patch doll?
Let's find out whose shoes these are.
Then we can ask all
the questions we want.
- Hey, Beau.
- Yeah?
Thank you.
All right.
- Now, I did not see that coming.
- No.
Is someone gonna tell me why I'm here?
I can.
You killed Tim Harker.
What?
Do you know what the holy trinity
of crime solving is, Mr. Jasper?
Means, motive, opportunity.
Opportunity.
You work in the same room
where Tim Harker was killed.
And you spend a lot of time there alone.
Means.
That's your print on the murder weapon.
Took us a while to find
since you hid it in your table saw.
If that's my print,
it's because it's my machine.
I work with it all the time.
Yeah, you're right.
We always knew that you had
opportunity and means.
But we didn't consider you a suspect
until we found your motive.
What motive? I don't know that man.
But you know his fiancée.
Biblically, even.
This is crazy.
- I-I didn't
- Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
Just watch.
That's how little bits
of your work ended up in her bedroom.
Just pack up a bag and then we'll go.
Sounds good.
It was your trainers
that tracked that dust in.
Men's clothing in the living room.
Men's shoes in the closet.
Elena said that was all Tim's stuff.
But the DNA tests said otherwise.
It's all yours, Lue.
You're sleeping with Tim's fiancée.
You have been since
before Tim went missing.
We thought he was abducted.
Now it seems a lot more likely
Tim trashed the place when he found out.
I don't know why anyone else
would punch that bookcase.
See, you said that Tim never set foot
in the haunted house.
That's another lie, right?
I mean, he went in once
He just never came back out.
Tim confronted you, right, Lue?
And things got out of hand
and you used a weapon of convenience.
The table saw's tilt shaft.
But, I mean, now you had a problem.
What to do with the body.
You'd killed Tim in the back.
No cameras, no tourists.
But getting him out?
Ooh. Impossible.
So you didn't.
You used your surroundings.
A place where one more creepy monster
would just blend right in.
This wasn't some
horror-obsessed sociopath
living out a deranged mannequin fetish.
No.
This was just a run-of-the-mill murderer
covering up a crime like only he could.
What was I supposed to do, huh?
To get away with murder?
I don't know.
Maybe next time try 60 coats of paint.
Wha-what is this?
You knew who did it,
you stayed silent, and
you lied to the police.
You're accomplice after the fact.
But I'm not a killer!
Yeah, and you're still
going to the same place.
Go figure.
Um Missed a spot.
- Is that tortoiseshell?
- Last I checked,
there weren't many
tortoises roaming around
that far north in the desert.
Maybe from Grace's sunglasses?
Hey, it's something.
It ain't much.
No, but we know what we know.
The amount of bacteria that I'm finding
suggests remains were buried there.
Might not give us an ID, but
It didn't even give us a species.
We-we took a drive to some vacant lot
in the Ralston Desert
that we can't explain,
and all we have is
a hole full of bacteria
and whatever that thing is.
And we still don't have
enough to open up a case.
All right, whoever this is, I am not
Okay, yeah.
Uh, uh, look, I'm sorry to leave you
to clean this mess up.
- I got to go.
- Yeah. Yeah.
Jodi.
Hey, what's going on?
I mean, we got to meet in person.
You're calling from a burner
- They took my phone.
- Who's they?
I don't know.
- I didn't see him.
- Oh, Jodi.
Your face.
- Who did this?
- I don't know.
And you can't tell anyone.
I'm not going to the police.
- Why not?
- Because he left me with this.
What have you gotten me into, Catherine?
All right. I went to the desert today.
And I found
It has to be Grace's grave.
- And we have got to
- No. No.
I'm not doing anything.
Just be careful.
I don't want you to be the next
woman buried in the desert.
Hey, boss?
I'm so sorry.
We got the right guy, didn't we?
Yeah, I know.
I was just so convinced.
Everybody gets one.
I had a priest arrested for arson once.
Turns out it was a freaking nun.
Uh-oh, this the nun story?
You better leave me alone, Joshua.
Y'all be good. Good night.
Night, boss.
- What?
- Nothing.
I just, um I missed this.
Uh-huh. So did I.
Hey, we haven't really had
the chance to talk
since I've been back.
- We will.
- Ms. Rajan.
Hey, listen, man. Hey,
hey. It's after hours.
If you want me to call security
I am supposed to be here.
I was told that I could come
- and collect this.
- Okay.
Do you want to know what happened
after my arrest?
Those stolen tools cost me
my job and my place.
I'm getting evicted.
- Gene, I am sorry.
- No, no, no, no.
There's something you
need to understand,
doing what you do.
People who may
act a little different
or look a little different,
it doesn't make them a bad person.
Why did you make that?
You inspired me.
Mm?
If you don't want me to have it, here.
Go ahead.
Just take care of her.
You know, if you don't
want to keep that,
my niece has a birthday coming up.
Are you gonna hang on to it?
Just collect the whole CSI set?
