Shooting Stars

During the night, Mr. And Mrs. Copeland hears noise in their home and their dog barking. He asks her to call the police while he goes downstairs with a pistol. He finds a dirty man eating inside his kitchen and he chases him. Out of the blue, he finds several dirty people in his garden that flee and he sees that they dumped a body on his garden. Capt. Brass and the entire CSI team investigate the case, and Grissom notes that there are shooting stars in the sky. He follows the track of the runaways on the desert with Catherine and they stumble upon an abandoned underground base, where they discover eleven bodies laying on the bed. Their further investigation shows that the group belonged to a cult organized by a con-artist named Joseph Diamond that recruit susceptible young people to believe that they would join a mother-ship in the sky. Now they are looking for Joseph and another possible survivor.

"Shooting Stars" is an interesting episode of "CSI", about a group of worshippers of a cult that believe the followers will have better life when they die and go to an UFO for better place. The cult is fruit of a scam, but something happens that makes it ending in a tragedy. Clea DuVall has a short, but important participation in the plot. My vote is eight.
