whee yeah did you watch the one when sara came into the lab where niick and willam (David) Nick: sara come look at this
Sara: (she said some bug name) Nick: how do yo uknow
Sara: grissom gave me this bug book for christmas
Nick: didnt get a christmas present from grissom did you
William: no i diint
uhrm.. that's kinda... all... wrong...
neutral sorry... it's like this...
sorry i just had to correct that...
DAVID HODGES: The white fibers from the head wound were straight out of any
Wal-market.
(HODGES hands the sample bag to NICK as he reports to him and SARA.)
DAVID HODGES: Seventy-eight percent cotton, fourteen percent polyester and seven percent nylon elastic.
NICK: Sounds like we're looking for a lethal pair of white underpants.
DAVID HODGES: Yeah, or a bra, pair of socks. The skin discoloration, that was a real challenge. You know, uh, on her forearm. Looked like a birthmark. Yeah, that skin sample was supposed to be sent to histology. Yeah, well, they kicked it back to me. Uh, the coloration was an adulterant. Aluminum chelate of carminic acid.
NICK: Aluminum ch ... ? I've never heard of this before.
SARA: It's a cochineal.
NICK: A what?
SARA: A cochineal. They're scaled insects. Carminic acid is found in their
intestines.
(Quick flash of the bug eating a leaf.)
SARA: (v.o.) It's bitter, so it discourages predators.
(End of flash.)
SARA: As a dye, it's been prized for centuries.
DAVID HODGES: Since when did you become an insects expert?
SARA: Entomology textbook. Grissom gave it to me last Christmas.
DAVID HODGES: Oh.
SARA: When I can't sleep, I read.
(HODGES turns to look at NICK.)
NICK: Funny, I didn't get a Christmas gift from Grissom. Did you?
DAVID HODGES: No. Uh, so, assuming that she was tattooed in prison, how'd she get a hold of the bugs?
