    This my favourite episode of the season, Because it was very interesting and the case was very interest. My favourite part of the episode was when Grissom and Sara had their moment togther. Also it was very suspensful. It was a very great episode. In my opition this the best episode of Season 4 of CSI.

    It seems like the writers decided to try something different this year, with a couple of epsiodes deviating from the usual formula.

    This episode kicks off in the middle of a court hearing, where Warrick is giving evidence for the prosecution. All seems to be going well, until it is discovered that the search of the defendants vehicle was performed without a warrant, and the CSIs are left with 24 hours to come up with new evidence or the accused walks free. Within 24 hours, the CSIs are led to believe that the accused is not actually the killer, and indeed find evidence to that effect. The real killer is taken into custody, and in the end we see another court hearing taking place where Warrick is providing his evidence, and the Judge decides to take the case to trial.
    An excellent episode of CSI.moreless

    Warrick makes a mistake when he get the murder weapon without a warrant, and the team has to find new evidence.
    A good episode, but not the best in the fourth season.

    This episode written by Josh Berman and directed by Danny Cannon. During a preliminary trial for the rape and murder of a 19-year-old woman, the crucial evidence, a bloodied knife, is discarded because it was secured from the defendant's car without a warrant. With only 24 hours left before court has to let him walk, the team pools their resources together in an attempt to find other evidence that can place the defendant behind bars.moreless

    I thought that this was a fantastic example of such a great show. I alway love noticing the guest actors and recognizing them. The actor I noticed in this episode is Christian Camargo who played Michael Fife, he played Rudy on the show "Dexter". Anyway, one thing that has kept me watching and wanting to see more is the relationship between Grissom and Sara. I'm glad that it's drawn out and it's just a lot of good ol' sexual tension. I just think the anticipation is really hot. This episode had another great moment between the two when Sara asks Grissom to pin her arms down. *sigh* Just watch it already.moreless

    Poor Warrick Brown. He really doesn't have the best day in this episode. With the release of a rapist and killer on his shoulders, the pressure of the unsympathetic Sheriff, a fight with Nicky, an embarrassing trial- not even mentioning the fact he goes into a ladies bathroom- makes this a very Rick-centered episode. But that's not to say that our other favourite CSI's don't get a look-in.

    For a GSR fan- the sizzling sexual tention between Sara and the Bugman in this eppy is probably the reason why GSR exists in the first place. Let's just say it involves getting "Pinned Down" *smiles knowingly*

    If your taste is more YoBling- there is a scene where Catherine really comforts our defeated Mr Brown. And as stated above- the fact that it's in the ladies bathroom reminds us that this show likes to throw in a little humour. Never a bad thing.

    Even if you detest all the ships and romance- it's still a blooming good episode. The case takes a turn for the unexpected- and a time limit for the submission of evidence combined with the overall tense atmosphere of our favourite lab creates an "edge of your seat" mood.

    Definately above par for this show- and we all know how difficult that is!!moreless

    • Warrick: This case is twisting me up. Interrogation room ... was a bust. Fife can lie better than I can tell the truth. Catherine: Better to know his lies before we go to trial. Warrick: I don't think it's going to trial. Catherine: We've got time. Seminal DNA's being processed as we speak. This case can break any minute. Warrick: I'm not giving up. I'm just being realistic. Catherine: Come on, you know, Warrick, we don't just call these cases rush 'cause we're in a hurry. It's a rush 'cause our pulse races, it's a rush when we nail the guy ... Warrick: I like that. Edit
    • Sara: Grissom, um, I, um, wanted to talk to you about something. Grissom: Go ahead. Sara: Well, you know, I applied for the promotion for the key position. Grissom: Your application's on my desk. Sara: About that, I, um... I needed to know... I... I wanted to make sure, rather, that anything that happened or didn't happen between us won't be a factor. (Grissom looks confused) Never mind. I-I shouldn't have said anything. (Grissom still looks confused) I, um... I'm always over-talking around you. (Sara leaves the room, leaving Grissom still confused) Edit
