The Official MCSK Spoiler Thread

[Chloe O'brien]

According to CSI Files sources, “Living Doll” will open with an aerial view of the Las Vegas strip. The focus blurs, details flatten and colors shift, until the image appears as if the city has been transformed into a miniature.
Inside a 24 hour mini-mart at 2:00 a.m., a janitor mops the floor as a hooker thumbs through tabloids, a stoned teenager microwaves a burrito with the foil wrapper still on and the store clerk stares at his television, which is airing breaking news coverage of the death of boxer Happy Morales (a storyline featured in episode 721). The janitor’s mop slops water out of the bucket and onto the floor, accidentally spattering a pair of old red Keds sneakers.
A blood curdling scream fills the air. Natalie is revealed. Staring down at her shoes, she screams, frightening the janitor who is freaked out by her reaction. The janitor apologizes. Natalie says he’s using bleach. The janitor is confused as Natalie kicks off her shoes and runs out the door.
Natalie goes home to her apartment. The inside resembles a dollhouse with lace curtains, an electric candle in each window, Easter egg colored furniture with gingerbread trim, chintz pillows, silk lampshades with fringe, neatly arranged Limoges boxes and glass figurines. She goes to an armoire and pulls out a pair of lace trimmed socks, the kind little girls wear only they’re in her size.
There is a corkboard behind the armoire displaying photographs of the dead doll placed in each of the miniatures. Neatly taped to a nearby shelf are several clothing tags that all say, “Do not use bleach.”
Natalie hums a creepy tune as she pulls out two tiny pieces of white muslin cut in the shape of a human torso. She picks up a needle and thread and begins sewing the muslin pieces together, quick and efficiently. Then she begins stuffing the torso.
The next day Natalie heads to Art’s Hobby Shop. The store is filled with shelves of tiny food, tiny people, tiny toys, etc. The store owner, Art Schuster, is busy with a customer. Natalie tells him she needs to place a special order and amuses herself in the store while Art helps the customer. Natalie examines a model train car. Her hand shakes as she touches it. A flashback reminds of Ernie Dell’s train village.
In a second flashback, Natalie is in her apartment putting the finishing touches on the Barbara Tallman miniature (Tallman was killed in episode 716). Suddenly there is a knock on her door and she freezes. It’s Ernie Dell. They have a strange exchange, riddled with sexual undertones. Dell tells her she’s his special one; his best one. She kisses him on the nose, then mouth. He wants to know what she did with the miniatures. She looks away. He wants to know what any of the people ever did to her. She doesn’t want to talk about it. Dell explains that he’s just returned from the police station. They know he helped with some of the parts and that he delivered one of the miniatures to the old lady’s house. The police suspect him. She admits to killing the people and explains that it’s because they used bleach. Dell is saddened, recognizing that he loves her, but she’s crazy. He tells her he may have to go to jail. She says he can’t. Dell doesn’t want her to go to jail either and says he’d rather kill himself than lead her to slaughter.
Dell pleads with her to end the bleach crusade and do right by him on this. She tells him she understands. The flashback ends, returning to present day with Natalie saying she’ll do right by him. Apparently, she didn’t understand at all. The doll she was constructing earlier now has chin length brown hair, a t-shirt, pants and a CSI vest. Natalie consults a sketch book. The doll is Sara Sidle.

Not sure what of this I've posted already but here goes (spoiler tagged in case you really don't want to know lol)

Spoiler:

INT. CSI - HALLWAY - NIGHT

as Natalie, in uniform, with gloves, pushes a cleaning cart down the hall, the cardboard box resting on top of it. She walks down the hall, completely unnoticed by those around her. Natalie works at CSI

She wheels the cart down the hall to Grissom's office. Nods to JUDY TREMONT at the Reception Desk. Judy is on the phone and casually waves back as Natalie enters...

INT. CSI - GRISSOM'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

Natalie wheels her cart in, past her Miniatures, all lined up in their cases. She doesn't want to look at them, so she turns away...

And sees Grissom's OFFICE MINIATURE on a shelf. For a moment, she stares. Not sure what to make of it...then, she shakes it off. No one else could possibly see what she sees.

She closes the office door, then takes her vacuum off her cart, plugs it in, and just lets it run, LOUDLY, not bothering to actually move it around.

She moves back to her cart, opens the cardboard box, and stares at her latest creation. She removes it from the box, puts it on Grissom's desk...but before we get a good look --

EXT. SARA'S CONDO/PARKING STRUCTURE - NIGHT

Sara walks from her apartment to her covered parking spacee. She's wearing a plain T-shirt and pants, holding a purse, a wheelie suitcase, her keys, and a phone. She's clearly stressed; it's going to be a long drive to San Francisco.

She BLEEP, BLEEPS! her car, and as she loads her stuff into the backseat (next to some extra CSI gear and field kit) -- She hears a VOICE coming from a neighboring parking spot --

NATALIE
(offscreen)
Sara?

Sara stands up and turns around. Before she knows what HIT HER, she's down on the ground.

ANGLE ON - SARA

On the ground, dazed. Keys and phone next to her on the pavement. She looks up to see --

NATALIE, coming toward her, giving her one more BLAST with a TASER. This time, Sara's out for the count...

...We can't waste time screwing around with this nutcase. Bleach is cheap. I'll bring in a gallon and drip it on her until she tells us where. No one's going to argue police brutality on that --

GRISSOM
Let me talk to her.

A beat...and then Brass nods. Grissom walks out.

INT. P.D. - INTERROGATION ROOM "A" - NIGHT

...and Grissom enters. Natalie barely looks at him as he sits down across from her.

GRISSOM
Natalie. I understand why those other people had to die. They used bleach...

This gets her attention. Now she looks at him.

GRISSOM
And Chloe. She stole your father. She had to die, too -

NATALIE
I don't want to talk about this --

GRISSOM
Sara didn't use bleach. And she didn't take anything away from you. I did. If you want to punish me for what happened to Ernie --

NATALIE
I didn't kill her.

GRISSOM
Where is she?

NATALIE
Do you love her?

GRISSOM
Yes.

NATALIE
Is she your special girl? Your best one?

GRISSOM
Yes. Tell me where she is. Please.

She leans in, making him lean into her. Then --

NATALIE
(a whisper)
No.

She slides her tongue inside her cheek, moving something around. She sticks out her tongue and before we can even see what the GLINT is, she's grabbed with her hand and is --

STABBING GRISSOM IN THE NECK with a small X-ACTO BLADE!

Grissom GASPS as he recoils, and BLOOD POURS out of a hideous GASH in his neck.

Brass rushes into the room, dives to help Grissom.

Brass puts his hand over Grissom's neck and SHOUTS to N.D. uniforms who come running in...

And in the confusion, Natalie darts out the other door...

INT. NATALIE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

Natalie slams the door behind her. And turns on the light of her lovely girly space. Just like we saw in the TEASER, calmed by her own sacred space. She takes a few deep breaths...and starts to SING:

NATALIE
"Oh, sad was the day for the little bisque doll, For they cut all her stitches away, And looked for the seat of the terrible ache: "T'was a delicate task" they all say...

Then, GRISSOM'S VOICE should be heard on the EDGES of her awareness...only slightly breaking through before she pushes them away by SINGING louder...

Natalie hasn't moved from her previous spot. The whole episode was a psychotic break. The only thing fantasy and reality have in common is the song she continues to SING:

NATALIE
"For none of the surgeons had ever before, Peformed on a dolly's inside..."

Grissom is still across from her, very much alive, completely unharmed, beseeching her.

GRISSOM
Just tell me where she is. Tell me where she is...

But Natalie just continues to sing:

NATALIE
"They tried to restuff her but didn't know how, And this was her wail as she died..."

EXT. DESERT - NIGHT

Somewhere in the Nevada desert. Sara lies under the wrecked Mustang. Wind is blowing. Nasty, sandy dirt clings to her face and arms. Is she dead? Hard to tell.

NATALIE
(voicover)
"I've got a pain in my sawdust. That's what's the matter with me. Something is wrong with my little inside. I'm just as sick as can be."

Sara's eyes flutter open. She opens her mouth slightly and tries to swallow. Then, she tries to breathe. Her chest heaves slightly and the pain of breathing casues an involuntary reflex in her free hand. It TWITCHES. Just like the doll...

END OF EPISODE

END OF SEASON 7

I was going to put a spoiler tag on mines but I wasn't really sure how to do it so apologies for those who didn't want to read it.

[Jojo]

Don't worry Kath - really I shouldn't have worried, but also because of the length of it thought it probably best.

To do the spoiler tags do [spoiler ] at the beginning and [/ spoiler] at the end, removing the spaces

[Chloe O'brien]

I've put a spoiler tag on this so be warned. Don't blame me if you wished you hadn't read it.

Spoiler:

May 2, 2007 -- JORJA Fox was supposed to die at the end of "CSI" this year - but she has refused to show up on the set to film her "death scene," according to a published report.

A salary dispute with CBS was at the bottom of the unusual stand-off.

Unhappy with Fox's demands, execs decided to kill off her "CSI" character, Sara Sidle, who's romantically involved with boss Gil Grissom (William Petersen).

Fox was scheduled to film Sara's death scene late last month, when her character was supposed to be crushed by a car for the May 17 season finale.

But Fox refused to show up on the set, according to a report that first appeared in the Star.

It forced the show to film an alternate ending - including last-minute script rewrites and flying co-star Marg Helgenberger from L.A. to Vegas for re-shoots,

Fox's rep told The Post yesterday that the actress' future on the show was indeed up in the air.

"Her contract is up and they are in conversations," said the spokeswoman.

The spokeswoman insisted however that Fox did appear on the set to shot the eventual finale, which she called "open ended."

CBS officials declined to comment yesterday.

The re-shoots, done on location over a weekend, cost CBS a bundle - pushing up costs on a show that, because of its heavy reliance on special effects, is already expensive to produce.

This was not Fox's first salary dispute with the show.

In 2004, she and co-star George Eads, who plays Nick Stokes, were fired by CBS after refusing to come to work during a contract dispute.

They were re-hired a few days later.

Fox reportedly rakes in $100,000-per-episode and was demanding a "major raise."

CBS reportedly offered her a "moderate raise," which she balked at.

The gap-toothed Fox, who turns 38 in July, has starred on "CSI" since the crime show launched in 2000.

omg i feel a sacking coming up!!!

[CrazyLea]

Spoiler:

Hmm, I'm not going to say it isn't true - as obviously I don't know. But it might just be one of them bad rumours.. like with the whole Jorja and George thing agessss ago. Wishful thinking for a bad rumour. Cause other wise, I agree with Lee I reckon.

[Jojo]

Well, if that is the case, get her out!!! Shes not the show. Who is she making demands like that - sorry Sara fans, but no one else seems to be quibbling their pay and yeah ok, she may be getting less than her co-stars possibly (I don't know) but bow down to one, and they'll all be doing it. I'm not one for the Sara/Grissom romance anyway, as you all know - I don't see the point - I like the forensics and the science, not the romances in the office bits and am still trying to figure out how, if having a relationship is against the policy there (with CSI's and their Supervisors etc) then how are they supposed to carry on with the same set up.

No one should think they are bigger than the show IMO.

Bye bye Jorja

[Luna]

Who is she making demands like that

are you having a nikki moment

i agree she's not the main star of the show and im sure we could live without her

[Jojo]

Who is she making demands like that

No, not really a Nikki moment, but like, who is she?!

I just think its wrong that some of these actors and actresses get paid the sums of money they do just to do a bit of prancing around in front of a camera (ok poss more than that but still.....) and now shes there, rejecting a pay rise already being offered to her - shes not IMO that good an actress anyway!
