Previously on CSI: Excolo:

Faith wiggles around a pole in Tony Marks's office. CUT TO Gaueko throwing someone out of the strip club. CUT TO Al with Tez pressed up against the stall of a toilet. Voiceover: "There are people you shouldn't betray, surely. I would have thought that the parent of your child is one of them." "Do you think it was an accident that a girl her age was in the Whitechapel, just waiting to be picked up by you? Everyone in this town screws everyone else over. You should know that by now." CUT TO Syl, Sayid, Johnny in Sayid's office. Sayid says: "You'll feel like you're betraying her. Which is cos you are. She'll probably end up hating you. I'm sorry. But this is more important than that."

OPENING CREDITS

FADE IN TO:

The Diabolique, two months later. It's fall now, the air getting crisp, and the Diabolique is back to its old self after the flood damage. Music is playing in the background. It gets louder as the camera focuses in on Valmont, sitting at the bar with a whisky.

In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute, things can get pretty strange
In a New York minute, everything can change
In a New York minute

Lying here in the darkness, I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency, somebody's going to jail
You find somebody to love in this world, you better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door

I've been smoking more, lately. I should give that up. It's a bad habit to have got into, especially when by and large so much in my life is going well. Hermia and I have been together for three months now. I've been certain for a while that I love her, although I haven't said it yet.

Partly that is because of what happened to Adams. I wish I had not had to kill him, but certain things made it unavoidable. But I was not the one to plant the photograph in his pocket. That has been keeping me jumpy for weeks. Someone must have been very close by when I did it. I keep waiting for a call that never comes.

I stub my cigarette out. I simply need to keep doing my job. That is why I am in this city, after all.
