Channel Nine replayed my favourite CSI episode tonight: "2X21: ANATOMY OF A LYE". (I'm no geek - I didn't know that these episodes had a title.)

I didn't even realise that these shows are transcripted by fans until I Googled "You were off the hook until he died CSI scripts" which includes a line in the episode. The search led me to http://www.crimelab.nl/ which is CSI heaven to any fan.

In my opinion this is the best episode due to the ending. The ending gives the a little twist in the end... have a little read:

BEN WESTON is the criminal lawyer who is under investigation of running a pedestrian over.

SARA and GRISSOM are both Las Vegas CSI's

....
(SARA closes the door, sits down and hands the paper to GRISSOM. GRISSOM puts
his glasses on to read it. He looks over at SARA. GRISSOM takes off his
glasses and turns to BEN WESTON.)

GRISSOM: When a driver hits a pedestrian the presumption is the driver is
negligent. When a driver's been drinking and he hits a pedestrian it's no
longer negligence, it's reckless homicide. But when a pedestrian intentionally
throws himself in front of a moving vehicle then the driver's no longer
responsible. Legally, he's off the hook.

SARA: This suicide letter was written by Bob Martin to his wife Charlotte.
When you hit him Monday night it wasn't an accident.

(Quick flashback to close up of BOB MARTIN standing behind the bus stop. As the
car driven by BEN WESTON approaches, BOB MARTIN deliberately walks toward it,
stops and stands in front of the car waiting to be hit. Cut to BEN WESTON
looking to the side presumably to put his cell phone down. The car impacts BOB
MARTIN and he crashes in through the passenger wind shield. End of flashback.
Resume to present.)

SARA: You were off the hook.

GRISSOM: Until you let him die.

(Camera holds on BEN WESTON.)

FADE TO BLACK.
