CSI: Miami

In this episode of CSI Miami, the following happens. Calliegh and Eric go to pick up an eye witness for a murder trail who is having second thoughts. They get him to come round to the idea again and he and Calliegh go through his testimony. Just then a cane comes crashing through the building. They all run and as the floor collapses the witness falls. Calliegh tries to hold on to him, but he's too heavy and he slips and dies. The team launch an investigation. Inside of the crane they find blood, through AFIS they discover a match and called the man, Kurt in for questioning. He claims the blood got there when he cut his arm on the job a few days before. Calliegh & Eric met with the witness's wife and son and they have a heated talk and the wife slaps Calliegh. Calliegh believes that they missed something at the crime scene and so she heads back there with Wolf. The team learn from the crane black box, that the crane wasn't operated from inside but from a wireless controller. The DNA on the neck strap matches that of his son. He is called in for questioning. He wanted to scare his father so that he would not testify, so that they didn't have to go into witness protection. But he couldn't control the crane and it lead to his father's untimely death. The team listen to his 911 call and hear that the killer flushed something down the toilet which may have been evidence, so they head there. They discover that the shell casing was flushed down there. They manage to get it out. They find a print on it that matches one of Joeys known associates. The team soon find the body of the victim. H gets Joey to admit that he murdered him. At the end of the episode we see Calliegh going to the morgue and says goodbye to the witness and cry's.

The untimely death of a witness that Calleigh and Eric were preparing for an upcoming trial was the only bit of excitement found in this episode. It isn't everyday that someone dies as the result of a crane smashing through a high rise unless one has vengeful family members who want to make a powerful point. What the witness told Calleigh was reminicant of the trial testimony given by Lindsay Monroe in the CSI:NY episode, Sleight of Hand. The greiving father looking for revenge failed to allude any sympathy from me. One cannot be expected to feel sorry for a man who can't grasp the concept that his daughter's death was accidental. There was a fairly reviting dialogue exchange betwee the greiving father and Horatio, who clearly loves and misses having a relationship with Kyle. Beyond that, the rest of the cast was poorly utilized. While season seven is still getting warmed up, I hope that the remainder of the season won't turn into an early frost.

Eric & Calleigh are trying to prepare a witness and protect that witness from getting hurt. In an upcoming big murder trial. But they both find themselves, fighting for their own dear lives. When the building is hit by a crane. We also learn that Ryan is afraid of heights. H must use his wits to bring down a local crime lord. And that the crime lord tries to play a game of cat and mouse with the team. We find out that the witness's young teen daughter. Was a victim of an ATV that ran over her. What is worse is that the person that operated the crane is the angry son of the witness. We haven't seen the last of the crime lord. Not by a longshot.

As is the case with a previous episode which began with a human fireball running through a party, this episode begins in a way that really grabs the viewer's attention. I wasn't too impressed with this episode but what helped this episode was the fact that a forulaic revenge story was taken and given some new twists to keep the viewer guessing. I'm sure the majority of viewers thought they had the case solved once that crane came crashing through the building. However, I had trouble buying the final solution to that part of the episode. Remote control? Yeah, right.

can sum 1 help me and telll me what the song is called in this episode its in the background playing in the club when the guys in the toilet and hears a gun shot ? dus any 1 know who sings the song and what its called plz ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? / / / / / // / / / // / / / / / // / / / // / / // / / / // / / / / // / yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

Okay, of course we have yet another bad guy for Horatio to trade barbs. But what I have yet to figure out is why two CSI's are protecting a witness. Where is the justice department, the DA's office or even simply regular detectives. I was thoroughly disspointed in revelation that it was the son behind the controls of the crane. I was also shaking my head at tracking down the bullet in the toliet, then leading them to the body buried at the beach and the biggest stretch is the pollen from the lilly's that is surprising linked to Horatio's new friend. Again, Calleigh was the highlight, we need more from the new ME and less of Horatio and bad scripts.

This was a pretty good episode from start to finish. I was glad to see some Calleigh/Eric screentime but what happened in the first few minutes just broke my heart for Calleigh. When the guy she was holding onto fell, I could almost feel her pain as he slipped away. Seeing her get slapped in the face (literally) by the victims wife was just awful and undeserved. But it was made even more so when we find out that the mans own son was the one operating the crane. I was glad that the team and Horatio were able to bring Salucci to justice, but I had to kind of feel sorry for the guy for losing his daughter in the first place...a fact that was not lost on Horatio.

This has got to be the worst, most un-original of any of the CSI: Miami episodes. It started out slow, and depite the whole crane crashing into the building and the witness dying, it never really picked up the pace.



We got to see the labs new toys the 'A/V Hummber', and the machine that can pick up fingerprints from corrosion caused by touching metal with human flesh. Both of which have shown up on other shows, and been shown better. Technology is supposed to be a tool in this show, not a centerpiece.



The only two characters to show any kind of emotion were Wolf and BoaVista, and that probaly because they had to go sewer pipes to get their shell casing. I know the show can do better. Just hope the writers start giving the actors more to work with. Sooner would be better.
