Storyline

A little girl dies in her bed when her house is bombarded with bullets from an automatic gun. Her father and brother are unharmed. Warrick knows the family and lets his emotions rule his objectivity by immediately assuming a suspect to be guilty. This leads to a tragic conclusion for the victim's father and the suspect. Nick works on the case of a dead computer geek in a sealed room with only one exit. His three employees who were working on the other side of the door are all suspects.

Goofs

When Nick and the other guy are walking into the Hypertrix Lab, the dark window at the back of the room reflects the camera and crew members. More specifically when the credit "Co-Producer Elizabeth Devine" appears on the screen. This is evident because only two people are walking, and more than two people walking are reflected in the glass.
