CSI: Crime Scene Investigation2000

Gil Grissom:
[to Gerard] What happened to you? You were a pioneer in forensic science. How many bad guys did you put away in Hennepin County?

Dr. Phillip Gerard:
My share. How many innocent men have been locked away since then because of sloppy investigating shortcut forensics?

Gil Grissom:
You look for mistakes in any lab, you'll find them.

Dr. Phillip Gerard:
I shouldn't be able to, Gil.

Gil Grissom:
Humans are fallible.

Dr. Phillip Gerard:
Not this fallible: compromised blood, sweetheart deals...

Gil Grissom:
No, no, no, no. You're subverting good evidence. These are good people.

Dr. Phillip Gerard:
The accused is entitled to the best defense possible.

Gil Grissom:
The accused is entitled, yeah. He's a movie star, that's why he's entitled. He's killed two women. You know it. But you're willing to decimate these CSIs so that you can spoon-feed a jury into letting him walk.

Dr. Phillip Gerard:
A jury believes me because of my reputation just like they do you.

Gil Grissom:
The difference is, Philip, I get the same paycheck regardless of what I testify to.

Dr. Phillip Gerard:
I'm saying this as a friend. For the reputation of CSI, tell the D.A. to drop this, re-file down the road.

Gil Grissom:
What about the victims' families? Who's their friend? [Gerard doesn't answer] My guys will see you in court.
