Finding The Kidnap Victim & Soap Opera In The CSI Office
ccthemovieman-126 December 2006
Some bimbo sipping her cocktail at an outdoor restaurant table gets a call on her cellphone from a desperate woman. She almost hangs up but stays on and hears this woman pleading for help, asking "Mitch" to save here. She obviously dialed the wrong number but at least the bimbo - who is shown to be really shallow - does the right thing by going to a nearby policeman. "Lt. Horatio Caine" (David Caruso) conveniently is nearby and he takes the phone from her and hears a man threatening the woman followed by a shouts from a male and then a gunshot.

The CSI quickly finds out who she was really calling. (It's a little too quick for believability considering all the numbers involved.) They discover that "Mitch" is her husband she was trying to call him. He knows about the kidnapping because he'd received a ransom and death threat if he called the cops. He's frantic, but cooperates with Lt. Caine.

The rest is the usual: every suspect they have who looks like the guilty party only leads them to the next step. This is typical for the CSI shows where you usually don't see the real killer until the end.

Anyway, nothing special but a decent show. A quick sidebar as "Ryan Wolfe" (Jonathan Togo) trying to date "Natalia" (Evan LaRue Callahan). She was Eric Delko's (Adam Rodriguez) former girlfriend who still, obviously, has feelings for the latter. It's all very soap opera stuff but the writers like to fit this kind of stuff in every show.

Mistake
drivertrainerbrett5 June 2023
A rich woman receives a call from a victim woman who has been kidnapped. The rich woman takes her phone to the police while still talking to the victim woman. The police have no way to get the victim woman's phone. The police supposedly are able to use the rich woman's phone to see what numbers the victim woman has called. They supposedly are even able to tell which numbers have been dialed by the victim woman on the rich woman's phone. This does not make any sense. Once again Hollywood does not accurately do their policing of the police. There is no possible way to see the numbers the victim woman has called without having her phone!
