CSI: CRIME scene investigation

Season 6 - Episode 14 - Killer

Written by  Naren Shankar, Dustin Lee Abraham
Story by Erik Saltzgaber
Directed by Ken Fink

Erwin Nash is asleep in a crummy studio apartment when he is kicked awake by ex-con “Red,” aka Karl Cooper, who shoots him in the chest and mouth to settle an old score. Karl is an expert, cautious not to leave any trace of himself behind. He is carefully driving away from the scene free and clear when a convertible hops an intersection and crashes into him. Out of the convertible rushes Ally Sullivan, a young local party girl who insists on calling the police to file a report. Karl does not want police involved, and makes an instinctual decision fueled by self-preservation.

The CSIs arrive to find Ally alone, neck broken, cell phone still in hand. Days later the body of Erwin Nash is discovered, and CSI links a discarded silencer and hidden ATV from the two cases to the same killer. As the noose tightens Karl is forced to abandon the new life he had created for himself and plots an escape, but the CSI team quickly pieces together the killer’s near-flawless plan and corner him.
