BUT some 20 years later, his colleague turned up with a bottle of bugs, and suddenly "Gil" decides to betray his CSI team and forward all the Forensics Departments secrets to the Mafia, but not before running off with a woman, Maria (not Sarah, obviously) who he's been wildly in love with for over 20 years. He faces off against "Brass" on the top of the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas, Brass pleads with him, but yes, we know the end.

Does anyone think that CSI fans would accept this? Why should they?

Then please tell me why we should accept this for the character of Lucas?

Genius! Although, you left out the part where some rookie member of the CSI team suddenly notices after all this time, stuck to the wall of Arthur/Gil's office, the A4 sheet of paper reading "I am Arthur and I killed those people, yes I did, it was me. Did I mention my name is Arthur?".
