    A great episode!!!!!!!!!!!! hide show

    An aging rock star is killed at his house and their are many suspects.There are many family problems for cathereine after she was a victim but she figures out that it may be her family being targeted and not just her. This episode was great and it kept me wondering what was gonna happen and who killed the rock star and who may be targeting cath and her family. This episode is one of my favorites because it goes on to bigger and better things. IT is just building up to a climax mabe for now or later, if you havent seen this episode yet it is great and i really think its a good one to watch.

    The miniature crime scene case was ho-hum, but the resolution of Catherine's storyline saved this episode. No wonder this episode grabbed the number one spot in the ratings. hide show

    I like the idea of a killer taking his time to create such an intricate mini crime scene, but the execution of that storyline was poor. I was half-asleep throughout the time that storyline was on. However, Catherine's storyline was the one who saved this episode and kept me awake. Who would have figured that out of nowhere, Catherine and Lindsey would be in a car accident when minutes ago they were talking about Lindsey's school play. In the end scene, I was shocked that Sam's former casino partner popped up and in a split second, shoot Sam in the chest. It was heart-wrenching to see Sam die in Catherine's arms. I've always love the scenes between Catherine and Sam, and I bow down to both Marg Helgenberger and Scott Wilson for their great acting in this episode.

    Grissom and D-Rob duet!!!!! hide show

    This episode was equally sad as it was good. The first appearence of the Minature Serial Killer, (Danny Bonaduce!!!!!!) he kills an old rock star, driving Grissom and Doc Robbins to sing one of his hit songs. I laughed so hard I thought was going to pass out, and I said "you know Grissom got laid last night" to my 5 month old baby brother.
    Poor Cath! Everything bad happens to her, her only daughter gets kiddnapped (but returns unharmed), she suspects somebody raped her, and her casino mogul father gets gunned down by his adversaires, I'm going to miss old Sam, he was a big part of Catherine's live. R.I.P Sam Braun.

    I love this episode it is the best I think it is pretty sad though at certain points but so far this season it is my favorite. hide show

    Built to kill part 2 is a great episode I love it!!! Pretty much its my favorite because of catherine she is my fav. actress on there and the whole episode is about her pretty much! Well if you ask me at some points in this episode I think this is pretty sad expecially at the end when Sam and Catherine were fighting then all of a sudden that crazy dude comes up and shoots Sam I almost started crying it was pretty sad. The most in tense part in the movie is were catherine goes to get Lindsey her daugter and finds out that the rape kit she collected of herself is negative for semen and then she starts to bond with Lindsey and the people hit there car and take lidsey out I was like o my gosh wat the heck that is crazy but I am very glad that in the end catherine got her daughter back and lidsey got her mommy back!

  • Goof: In the beginning of this episode, while Grissom and Sara start to process the scene, the victim blinks, breathes and move his hand softly. []
  • Goof: Catherine finds Sam Braun saying "you come here every Sunday night," but the close-captioning for this scene has her saying "you come here every Thursday," which suggests whoever transcribes the dialogue for the episode for close-captioning watchers did so from an uncorrected alternate script. []
  • Goof: During the autopsy scene, depending on what camera angle was used, sometimes the victims eyes were open and sometimes they were closed. When they showed him from the front his eyes were open and when they showed him from the side his eyes were closed. []

  • Catherine: Joe Hirschoff and his partner invested everything they had in the Eclipse. But it went bankrupt before you broke ground. You formed a new corporation to finish the project, leaving those guys with nothing.
    Sam: Sometimes that's the way it goes in business.
    Catherine (nods): Uh-huh. O'Brien and Hirschoff lost $20 million, right? O'Brien caved and stuck a gun in his mouth. Hirschoff wants you to pay him back. So, where is he?
    Sam: I don't know.
    Catherine: Come on, Sam, this isn't old Vegas anymore. Let the police handle it. Or have you already killed him? (he chuckles. Behind him, we see Joe Hirschoff walking up to them, his right hand hidden behind his back)
    Sam: I give you my word, no. (Catherine looks at him and realizes he is the guy from the bar. Joe raises his gun at Sam. Catherine reacts. Joe fires twice, hitting Sam in the chest. Sam collapses backward into Catherine's arms) []
