Frankie Reed, dumped in the garbage of a motel, and they learn that he worked for the gas company Conservo Solutions. The further investigation of the CSI team leads them to the rancher Bill Gibson, who commits suicide in front of Langston, Nick and Det. Reed to show what is happening to his water. Now the CSI investigators have evidences that Conservo Solutions is responsible for the deaths; but how to prove it?
"Fracked" is an episode of "CSI" with a realistic story. Corporations are powerful and hardly is possible to prove their responsibilities in crimes. The plot that recalls Erin Brockovich's story, with a fictional corporation responsible for spreading cancer and other diseases through the water to the resident of Cale Springs. But the team is not capable to proceed their investigation and prove the truth. My vote is seven.
