The CSIs sift through the overwhelming evidence from a shootout with drug dealers in order to determine who is responsible for the death of a police officer killed during the incident.
Write a Recap »My personal favorite of the entire series. Incredibly moving 2 parter. hide show
Honestly, I think this is the best episode of CSI: Las Vegas ever. It's a real tearjerker, very powerful and engaging. I read in an interview that the writer, who is also a technical adviser on the show as well as a real CSI, wrote the plot by combining three real life shootout cases into one. It works!
I don't want to spoil *too* much so I'll stick to the beginning. In the first part, an officer is killed in a shootout between apparent drug dealers and the cops. Sophia and Brass are both involved in the shootout. The officer shot is a rookie. After the chaos is over, some suspects are dead, some have fled, and the CSI team is left to sort it all out.
The first episode is definitely setup and investigations. Part 2 is all about the consequences. It's very powerful stuff. You can really feel the strain on the characters are they deal with this very out of the ordinary crime scene. It's also a very personal story, especially for Brass. This is a must-see for any Brass fan, let me tell you.
Anyway, quit reading this review and go buy the DVDs or get them off Netflix, hurry! If you like CSI *at all*, or even if you don't, you will enjoy this episode.
One of the best episode. hide show
Good job. I don't expect this episode to be so good. This is probably the best episode in this series. The lab is about to be charge for the murder of a citizen during a shootout, and the CSI must clear their name before they have to face the court. Creative plot, it's just perfect. Grissom clears Sofia name, only to find out Brass is the one who accidentally killed Officer Bell. Poor Brass, he don't deserve that. This episode is amazing, perfect, interesting...It's just good. I love this episode so much, and this is one of my top 10 episodes.
The CSI team must investigate a case of a police shootout where 3 perps and 1 cop were killed and deal with the knowledge that the shot that killed the cop may have come from one of their own. hide show
The last few scenes made this episode. Grissom explaining the evidence to the distraught community and finally the cop's funeral. I wanted to hug Brass the whole time. Poor guy. He doesn't have a family to take the blow off this. His career is his life. The shot of his hands breaking was heart breaking. When he stood up to hug the wife all I could think was please don't let her slap him, please just let her hug him - to understand. And she did. It was beautifully done.
I've always been uncaring about the character of Brass, much as I am with the other detectives who work with the CSIs. But in this episode it really made him grow for me. It just added all of the knowledge I have of his character and what he's been through and then made it grow into this person. This fallible cop who has suffered because of choices in his family. It was really well done. Brought tears to my eyes.
i love it..! go brass.. hide show
i really love Bullet runs Through.., it's such an exciting episode.., the writer has done a great job..!! i loved the chase.., the gunfight.., and the very great confusion that was created due to the havoc of the gunfight.., but of course Grissom and his team are there to solve the case..!! but i really can't believe that Brass made a mistake like that.. i loved the last part of the episode.., Jim was such a very nice.., and BRAVE i say.., when he went to the funeral of Bell.., and it was such a very nice ending..!! well don CSI..!! i love this show very much..!!
Please may I borrow a tissue hide show
The second part to A Bullet was as brilliant as the first. I would have to say, that to me, these two episodes had to be the best CSI has had with all 6 seasons combined. I really felt the pain Sofia Curtis was in, as well as the concern Jim had for her. As for the other characters, mainly Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle, the disappointment was once again there. Gil, the man who gave that pivotal speech in 109 Unfriendly Skies, allowing Sofia to leave his office as she was without verifying her safety was appalling. And Sara, please someone get that girl a mirror so she can repeat the part about getting Sofia a shrink to herself.
