The police chase a car erratically driven by a man. When he stops in front of a casino, the officers realize that he has a wooden stake stuck in his head. Grissom and Nick investigate the case and the victim, Alex James, has no record. They go with Det. Lockwood to the company owned by James and find residues of gold and other precious metal melted in the furnace. Further, he owned also mines in Nevada. Meanwhile, Catherine, Warrick and Capt. Grass investigate the kidnapping of the boy Isaiah Jones-Tombs, the son of the wealthy basketball player Tavian Tombs. The note demands a five-million-dollar ransom, but the kidnapper never catches the money. When the police find the boy dead, the autopsy discloses useful information to the investigators.
