Lt. Brass Takes Center Stage

We get a very dramatic start to this show, seeing a crime committed from the video room upstairs looking down at the casino's gambling area where security witnesses a man shooting an employee, then taking a hostage up to the third floor. As Jim Brass and the S.W.A.T. get set for a showdown, we suddenly flash back 15 hours earlier and see a married woman who is lying dead in her house, a bullet through her mouth. There is no sign of the husband.

In no time we find out the kid across the street who mows the lawn of the victim was screwing her when the husband came home and threw him out. This is so typical of CSI shows, where 80 percent of the victims and suspects are dirtballs. Later, we find that husband cowering under this desk at work, an apparent shooting victim with two other people dead in the office.

The biggest in this episode is whether the husband of the dead woman is a slimeball. He appears to be the killer of all of them. However, he could be just "having a bad day," as Lt. Brass puts it, having his wife, his boss and his co-worker all killed in the same day!

Surveillance tapes hold the key to this mystery which features a shocking ending with Lt. Brass, who shows a lot of guts by acting as a negotiator in a room with a killer.
