Storyline

A broker, a janitor and a secretary are expertly shot on a Miami shopping street, a fourth person in a passing-by buss with untraceable plastic-coated bullets. They aren't relevantly linked, but the team works out the sniper's position and from particles there correctly constructs his USMC-champion-MO and secret 'target-range', which ultimately yields a chilling 'motive'.

Trivia

Because of the October 2002 DC-area sniper killings, CBS considered delaying the broadcast of this episode. However, when two suspects were arrested and charged with the sniper slayings at the end of October, the network reconsidered, and chose to air the episode during the November 2002 sweeps as originally planned. (The episode was not inspired by the DC-area sniper slayings, since the script was written before the attacks took place.)

Goofs

Horatio repeatedly refers to the Japanese miniature tree as a banzai. In fact it is a Bonsai, which is pronounced, "BONE-SIE". A meticulous intellectual such as Horatio should know better.

Quotes

Horatio Caine: [measuring the distance of their sniper's nest] Six hundred and fifty yards.
Calleigh Duquesne: That's six and a half football fields.
Horatio Caine: One shot, one kill. This guy's either military trained or police.
Calleigh Duquesne: He's Marine Corps, probably. They're the best snipers in the world.
