TEXT: [EXT. LAS VEGAS CITY (STOCK) - NIGHT] [EXT. VARIOUS DESERT (STOCK)- NIGHT] [SCENE_BREAK] [EXT. DESERT - NIGHT] (A naked man runs in the desert. He looks desperately behind him as he runs away from something.) (He runs and runs and runs.) [SCENE_BREAK] [EXT. DESERT - DAY] (The camera shutter clicks as WARRICK takes a photo of the crime scene. In front of him, GRISSOM kneels over the body while NICK stands behind him watching.) Grissom: Maggots. This kid's been here awhile. (GRISSOM turns the body over to its side. WARRICK continues to photograph the body.) Grissom: No gunshot wounds. No stab marks. No signs of strangulation. Warrick: It's a long way out in the sticks just to drop dead. (GRISSOM stands up and looks around.) Grissom: (sighs) Not if you're being chased. (GRISSOM starts to walk around to look at the ground around the body.) Grissom: Look at the foot patterns leading up to the body. See the strides? This kid was running. (GRISSOM kneels down by a footprint impression in the dirt.) Grissom: See the left foot impression? It's straight; that's normal. (GRISSOM looks at the next print.) Grissom: But look at the right foot impression. It's turned outward. Almost 90 degrees. Warrick: He was looking over his shoulder when he was running. Think there was somebody else here? Grissom: Based on these prints, it's hard to tell. Warrick: (to the OFFICER) Can I get this taped off here? Officer: Yes, sir. (GRISSOM kneels down back at the body and looks at it again.) Warrick: So you want to call it? How do you think he died? Grissom: Fear. (beat)
