Episode 1: Pilot
The night shift begins: A suicide victim leaves behind
a tape recorded note – but the voice on the tape isn’t his, leading Grissom
to suspect homicide; Warrick and Nick compete to solve their 100th case –
one, a suspicious home invasion murder, the other, a series of “trick rolls”
in which the perpetrators and the victims wind up drugged; a rookie member
of the team, left unsupervised, encounters the killer who returns to the
scene, and Catherine comforts a sex crime victim – a little girl as innocent
as her own daughter.
Episode 2: Cool Change
A $40 million slot machine winner leaps to his death
from a casino hotel balcony, and Grissom’s “conversation” with the victim
tells the story of how he really died. Meanwhile, Catherine vows to solve
Holly Gribbs’ murder, and new hire Sara Sidle is on Warrick’s case,
determined to prove he’s lying about his whereabouts the night Holly died.
Episode 3: Crate N Burial
The wife of a rich man is abducted and buried alive in
the desert, but all is not what it seems, and it’s up to the CSI team, with
Captain Brass, to prove what really happened by dissecting the kidnapper’s
$2 million ransom message; and Warrick and Catherine investigate a
hit-and-run that leaves a young girl dead, and the wrong man accused of
leaving the scene.
Episode 4: Pledging Mr. Johnson
Fishermen on Lake Mead find a woman’s severed leg, and
Grissom and Catherine’s investigation of the mutilated victim leads them to
discover she was cheating on her husband. They think her lover raped and
murdered her after an argument, and so does her cuckolded husband.
Meanwhile, Nick and Sara are called to a fraternity house to investigate the
suicide of a despondent student, but someone in the house went to a lot of
trouble to stage the crime scene. And an influential judge offers to clear
Warrick’s gambling debt if he agrees to compromise the chain of evidence in
a rape case.
Episode 5: Friends And Lovers
The body of a naked young man is found in the desert,
and Grissom recognizes the cause immediately – the victim was chased to
death. This improbability and a witness lead Grissom and Warrick to the site
of Las Vegas’ hottest rave, where the new-age designer drugs that are being
peddled are taking a strange toll on the kids. Meanwhile, Nick and Catherine
read the blood spatter at the gruesome murder of a Catholic school dean, and
it leads them to a teacher who insists she was defending herself for the
last time against a sexual predator; and Sara’s call to investigate a body
in a dumpster turns into a shocking case of grave robbing.
Episode 6: Who Are You?
After the skeleton of a young woman is found under a
house, Grissom goes to the top forensic artist in the country to recreate
the victim’s face so he and Nick can find her killer; Catherine, despite a
warning from Grissom to remove herself, investigates a rape charge leveled
against her ex-husband; and Warrick and Sara must prove what really happened
in an officer-involved shooting – was the suspect murdered by the policeman
or did he commit suicide?
Episode 7: Blood Drops - If These Walls Could Talk
A brutal mass murder of an entire family leaves only
the two daughters alive to tell the crime scene investigators what they
remember, but it’s the horrifying evidence inside and outside the house that
lead Grissom and his team to the truth of what happened that night; and
Catherine, heavily involved in the investigation, pays the price when her
ex-husband reports her to child services for neglecting their daughter for
her work.
Episode 8: Anonymous
Grissom fears a serial killer may be at large when an
apparent suicide victim is found dead in a bathtub with a tape recorded
message, the same M.O. in an earlier murder that was staged in exactly the
same way; and Warrick and Nick argue over the hows and whys of what happened
when a tourist’s car flipped over a cliff overlooking the Hoover Dam, until
the victim, who survived, can tell them the truth.
Episode 9: Unfriendly Skies
Grissom and his team are called to investigate what
looks like the terrible consequences of an air rage incident, but when the
witnesses share their recollections as to how a fellow first class passenger
died, it’s up to the crime scene investigators to decide if they have
uncovered a murder or a case of self-defense at 30,000 feet.
Episode 10: Sex, Lies & Larvae
Lacking ballistics proof, Grissom and Sara must rely on
entomological evidence to determine whether an man murdered his wife, but
the bugs tell a different story, forcing the police to release the abusive
husband, and pushing the CSI team to try harder to nail him; Warrick and
Catherine, both battling personal problems, discover that their art theft
investigation is really a case of art forgery; and Nick’s initial belief
that a missing woman has deserted her husband changes when he finds blood
and hair fibers in the trunk of her abandoned car.
Episode 11: I-15 Murders
A woman disappears from a supermarket, and Grissom discovers a message scrawled at the scene: I Killed 5 Women…Catch me if you can. Tracing the murdered women to a lonely interstate stretch of the I-15 highway, Grissom is convinced that he’s looking for a female serial killer who may be freezing her victims once they’re dead. Meanwhile, the hooker involved in the trick roll Nick previously investigated asks for his help to clear her name in an assault on a hotel security guard; Warrick is reinstated despite his negligence in the Holly Gribbs murder, and Grissom assigns him to work as backup on Sara’s Cain and Abel murder case.
Episode 12: Farenheit 932
Suspecting unprofessional work by another CSI, Grissom,
Sara, and Warrick try to prove the innocence of a man accused of killing his
wife and death in an arson fire; and Nick and Catherine, investigating the
murder of a 16-year-old in the parking lot of a betting parlor, listen as
the boy’s own brother confesses to the crime, which the evidence tells them
he did not commit.
Episode 13: Boom
A deadly bomb explosion at a Vegas office building
sends Grissom and the CSI team in search of a serial bomber, but their
primary suspect is the building’s over-helpful security guard, who knows
more than he should about blowing things up; Nick’s one-night stand with a
call girl he’s helped in the past puts his DNA and fingerprints at the scene
of her murder, and it’s up to Catherine to try to prove his innocence.
Episode 14: To Halve and To Hold
When a single human bone is discovered in the desert,
Grissom and Catherine must cover miles of territory to find the rest of the
skeleton so they can make the identification – an elderly man who may have
been cut into pieces by his wife; and Warrick and Sara trace the death of a
male stripper to members of a wedding party who may have celebrated a little
too hard the night before the nuptials.
Episode 15: Table Stakes
A dead woman is found floating in a pool belonging to
a legendary showgirl, and it soon becomes clear that the showgirl herself is
missing, leading the CSI team to suspect a grifter couple’s involvement in
what may prove to be a double murder; Warrick’s investigation of a mob hit
in a Strip casino takes him to a place he’d rather not go.
Episode 16: Too Tough To Die
Sara becomes emotionally involved in the case of a
comatose Jane Doe who was shot in the head, raped and left for dead;
meanwhile, the CSI team uses scent dogs, a controversial and still unproven
aid, to track the gangbanger who committed the heinous crime; and, when one
neighbor kills another in a dispute over a motorcycle, the accused murderer
and the victim’s wife provide Catherine and Warrick with conflicting
accounts of what went down – only problem is, the evidence shows both their
versions to be true.
Episode 17: Face Lift
Grissom, Nick and Catherine tackle a case within a
case, with no obvious connection -- the fingerprimts of the victim in an old
kidnapping case show up at the scene of a homicide, while the actual murder
victim’s past suggests his killing may have been payback for sins committed
against his former partner in crime; meanwhile, Sara and Warrick investigate
the gruesome death of woman who fell asleep in a chair and was mysteriously
incinerated, with the evidence pointing to an improbable cause --
spontaneous human combustion.
Episode 18: 35K O.B.O.
The solitary witness at the rain-soaked scene of a
double homicide tells the CSI team the tale of a carjacking gone bad, and
that’s exactly what it looks like, until a third person appears caught up in
a twisted love triangle; Catherine welcomes the challenge of an engineer who
insists that death of three senior citizens in an apartment building
collapse was an accident – but the evidence tells her the mayor’s rushed
urban renewal program – and the engineer – may be responsible.
Episode 19: Gentle, Gentle
The CSI team are called in to investigate an infant
kidnapping case, but the evidence points to a cover-up of the truth no one
wants to believe – the baby’s mother, with a track record of abusive
behavior, may have murdered her own child.
Episode 20: Sounds of Silence
Vehicular manslaughter or murder? The battered body of
a deaf man tells the CSI team a troubling story, and in the course of their
investigation, the evidence leads them to those responsible for the young
man’s death, but also reveals surprising information about Grissom’s
personal life; meanwhile, Catherine and Nick deal with the carnage of a
coffee shop massacre.
Episode 21: Justice is Served
Grissom, Nick and Warrick investigate a vicious dog
attack on a jogger, leading them to suspect a doctor has been harvesting
human organs for profit – but they’re not even close to guessing the
doctor’s shocking motive; Catherine becomes emotionally involved in the
murder of a six year old girl, whose mother says the child fell out of an
unsafe carnival ride.
Episode 22: Evaluation Day
Grissom calls this one a real “head case” – the CSI’s
have a severed head on their hands, but no body, and when they do find a
skinned, headless torso to match, it doesn’t; meanwhile, Warrick agrees to
investigate the volatile murder of a gangbanger inmate witnessed by juvenile
offender James Moore, a young man he helped to incarcerate; and, it’s time
for Grissom to evaluate his team’s work over the last year.
Episode 23: Strip Strangler
An elusive serial killer has murdered three young women
in Vegas, so when the FBI offers assistance, the Sheriff agrees, much to
Grissom’s dismay. Special Agent Culpepper and Grissom are oil and water from
the get-go, especially when the fed reveals his plan -- he wants to bait a
trap for the killer with someone who fits the profile of his victims – Sara
Sidle. Then, a fourth woman dies, giving the FBI a prime suspect, but
Grissom thinks they have the wrong guy. When he publicly says so, he finds
himself on the outside looking in – the sheriff suspends Gil until he can
learn how to play nice with others.
