Storyline

Grissom's announcement he's planning to leave CSI takes a backseat when a nine-stab-wound corpse, bagged in water, is provisionally identified as the long missing adolescent son of the Jewish Stein couple, presumably the last victim of the infamously sadistic serial killer Nate Haskell. Further forensics show however their initial suspect, Gerald Tolliver, plausibly Haskell's accomplice, was murdered in his home. The team now searches for a copycat, believing a recent double murder also their work. Grissom attends a serial killers seminar from criminology professor Dr. Raymond Langston, who happens to have scheduled an interview with Haskell, whom Grissom manages to stimulate just right.

Quotes

Gil Grissom: So, let's assume that 'shoe print' was involved in all four murders. It's possible that he knew, Gerald, right? Is it also possible that he was an accomplice of D.J.K.?
Greg Sanders: That would explain the 9 post-mortem stab wounds in Ian Wallace. It's a continuation of the master's work.
Catherine Willows: But if he was D.J.K.'s helper, back in the day, why go quiet for 10 years then suddenly start killing again?
Greg Sanders: Maybe he was doing time?
Catherine Willows: And when he realized that his old partner turned informant, he got scared and killed him.
