Storyline

A terribly violent gang wearing hoods terrorizes Las Vegas with blind violence. First a Latino man is beaten to death during a robbing, then a Jewish female tourist is kicked in hospital so she fears for permanent maiming. Yet it becomes clear that racism isn't the motive when Greg Sanders reports he's witnessing an attack on a white man, but when he tries to chase them in his jeep is attacked, dragged out and also lands in hospital. Fortunately there is plenty of physical evidence, clearly linking the attacks, which Gregs shocked CSI colleagues are now most eager to process and link to young suspects...

User Reviews

Fannysmakin

The majority of people voted it a ten, which is saying a lot. This episode is a great example that Eric Szmanda can act and that C.S.I has great potential to come through with good episodes in the next season. The people who voted it a one probably voted that way due to the casting of Federline. He didn't get a super big role, but since people don't exceptionally like him, this episode was voted poorly due to the feelings of him being in the cast. I think the episode is terrific and does not deserve to be voted poorly due to the cast. If the only reason this episode, or any other episode for that matter, is voted low, than I think that people should watch the show anyway seeing how it was a great episode and had great acting done.
