Synopsis  

Grissom, Catherine and Nick investigate the death of a runner during a competition. Meanwhile Sara and Warrick investigate the death of couple in a hotel room, initially thought to be a murder-suicide. Both cases take place during this ‘cop’ competition , with more than 20.000 attendants (all of them cops). This gives the investigations an interesting turn, as almost all the suspects and all dead people are cops.

Quotes  

Warrick: What happened? Break the bad news to the wife?
Sara: Oh, I didn’t have to.
Warrick: Women always know, huh?
Sara: Not always.
Warrick: I think so. Women always know when the man is straying.
Sara: What are you, the voice of experience?
Warrick: (laughing) No. I’m a really nice guy.
Sara: Oh, I believe you.

Sara: That’s it? (Franco nods) Are you sure? (Franco looks at Sara, surprised that she’d ask) I-I’m sorry. It just doesn’t make any sense. The sex kits came back negative, and now this. I mean, that room reeked of musk.

Sara: I don’t know. Isn’t the prevailing male fantasy two on one?

Warrick: Well, someone was pissed. This is, like, a two, three hundred La Perle nightie, ripped to shreds.
Sara: (sarcastic) Oh, looks comfortable.
Warrick: It’s not designed to stay on that long.

Sara: How could you know that if the only part you know is his body?
Lopez Pedestal’s a little high, don’t you think?
Sara: Your best friend, your lover are dead. What do you expect me to think?

Sara: What do guys do when they’re drunk, and they have a number burning a hole in their pocket?
