This was a very disturbing story, but an excellent one. It didn't have the ending I expected.

I've watched all the CSI stories to date, including the Miami and New York shows, and this ending surprised me, so kudos to the writers for going against the grain here.

Alan Tudyk is riveting as the prime suspect, "Carl Fisher," a child molester who is the number-one suspect when two neighborhood boys go missing. One of the boys winds up dead. Another suspect is the other boy's grandpa, who is nothing but a big bully.

Clifton Powell plays him. Powell is a veteran actor who has a long resume here on IMDb. He and Tudyk make this a particularly-fascinating episode. Beware, though: the subject matter is not pleasant.
