Mac is sitting in his office when he gets a call. The caller states he committed a murder awhile ago and stashed the body in the north end zone at Giants Stadium. He can't get that memory of the victim's screams out of his head and needed to confess. He hangs up and puts a gun to his head and kills himself. Wow, what an attention-getter to start this episode. Mac goes to East Rutherford, N.J., and with cooperation from the police and CSI there, finds, indeed a skeleton buried deep in the end zone. The big story here is that Danny Messer of the CSI team is implicated in this murder and Mac must find a way to clear his name.
This is a very intense story with an emotional ending.
A second story as Danny and Stella checking out a murder of a bank CEO, found dead in a hotel room, apparently stabbed to death. There is a message on the bathroom mirror making this look like "a crime of passion."
This is a very seedy story and took away from the first one, which should have been the focus of the entire episode.
