Episode Summary

An inmate at a massive Miami prison complex is stabbed to death in the prison yard. Shortly after Horatio arrives on the scene, a helicopter appears above the correctional facility. He immediately fears that the murder was a decoy to set up an escape. That's confirmed as three prisoners hop aboard the chopper and flee. As the investigation gets underway, the identities of the fugitives become known and a horrible realization sweeps over Horatio: two of the escapees are cold-blooded killers who already have their next victims picked out, one of whom is a child molester who he recently put away.moreless

    An inmate is murdered as part of a decoy to escape prison. Three inmates escape on a helicopter - one of which is shot, aswell as the pilot. One of the alive escapees is a paedophile, whilst the other is a murderer. I had high expectations for the very first season finale of CSI: Miami, and it exceeded those expectations. My other favourite episode of season 1 was "Broken" and I enjoyed how this episode features the same criminal from that episode. It was a very intense episode and a very good way to end a great season.

    If you haven't seen this episode yet, watch it. You will be pleasantly surprised.moreless

    Definitely the reason I watch CSI: Miami every week! Very intense up til' the end! The writers knew what they were doing and the camera work was great! It followed reality well. Especially in the beginning, when the toothbrush is carved into a weapon! It was great up until the very end! Some awesome lines were thrown in and many times when you just wanted Calleigh to be careful! Body Count makes MUCH since as a title, because the bodies just keep piling up! And definitely a great use of those traffic cameras that rushed drivers despise so much! Great!moreless

    A man switched wrist bands with a fugitive. A man was found dead on a helicopter that transported them to the beach. He killed a woman to steal her car. The child molester and child killer is free. The men killed the man in the helicopter. The molester killed his inmate to rape his little girl. He cut the girls hair to look like a boy. The man is going to bury Emma because there are shovel marks on the ground. He raped her. She told the killer where her cousin went to school. H catches him there and helps him off the ledge, then arrests him.moreless

    This was one nail biting edge of your seat show and that
    One of the best season finales not just on this show but also for all time.
    As one prisoner is stabbed and could be a decoy for a
    Prison escape. Horatio as always is cool, calm, and collective in the face of danger IMO!
