TEXT: [EXT. LAS VEGAS CITY - TROPICANA/MGM (STOCK) - DAY] [EXT. LAS VEGAS CITY (STOCK) - DAY] [SCENE_BREAK] [EXT. -- DAY] (Camera close up of an old rusty toy truck, a turned over shopping cart and an abandoned toilet.) (Two racers on their quad-bikes ride in and out of the area, each pacing with the other.) (BILLIE, the rider in BLUE, on the red bike hits a large metal canister and falls to the ground. The rider in RED on the blue bike stops to render aid.) Rider In Red: Billie! (The RIDER gets off her bike. BILLIE takes off her helmet and looks at the canister.) Rider In Red: My God, Billie, are you okay? What did you hit? (They both look at the canister #3077 with a large yellow sticker on it labeled "HAZARDOUS WASTE / HANDLE WITH CARE". Camera cuts to a white sticker labeled: POISON.) [SCENE_BREAK] [EXT. - (RAINY) NIGHT] (BRASS shows GRISSOM and CATHERINE the body in the canister.) Brass: So, according to the girl, one minute she's blasting through the mud and having fun, everything's great, the next thing she knows, she's lying upside down in the dirt, staring at chemical waste. She called Hazmat. Now, it's not toxic. They saw the barrel was buckling, they thought it might explode, so they opened it. (They approach the barrel and immediately smell the body.) Catherine: Ugh! Grissom: Yeah, whoa-ho. Catherine: Soap mummy. Grissom: Adipocere, a.k.a. Mortuary wax. This is what you get when fatty tissue decomposes in an alkaline environment with limited oxygen. Catherine: All you need
