Caleigh gets the scare of her life when another CSI suddenly pops up.—KGF Vissers
- We open in the slammer. Cons in the yard (well-lit, of course). Somebody in the kitchen dumps a powdery substance on the eggs. Russian gangster Ivan Sarnoff sits down and has himself a heaping helping. But wait. Something's not right. He starts choking and hacking then writhing on the ground.
A corrections officers calls Caine on the way to the ambulance, updating him that they're going to the hospital. Sarnoff has blood leaking from his eyes and mouth, but isn't dead yet. A car pulls in front of the ambulance. Another one rams it and pushes it onto the nearby - convenient! - train tracks. The officer races to free Sarnoff from the stretcher before impact. The driver doesn't make it out. Sarnoff stands up, bloody, but alive. He takes the corrections officer's gun and shoots his way free when men from the SUV that shoved the ambulance start shooting at him.
A shadow stands over the officer. He takes off his sunglasses and kneels down, telling the officer he knows he did his best. The officer tells Caine he has a daughter. Then he dies. Caine chokes back tears.
Roll opening.
Frank shows Caine transport camera footage of the sports car that blocked the ambulance. Caine announces that he is "done with these people."
Caine visits Sarnoff's old partner Gregor, who denies knowing where Sarnoff is. His "girlfriend" gives him an alibi. She throws her drink on Caine. He arrests Yelina.
Back at the station, he tells Yelina they had to make her arrest look authentic. She reports that three days ago the Russians lost millions when a gun sale fell through. It was set up by Sarnoff from the inside. Gregor Kasparov has been getting calls. They might be planning to steal back the gun shipment.
Caine tells her they need her to go back in. He gives her a GPS tracker with a panic button.
Calleigh and Eric question the owner of the beemer, Anthony Green (Brian Austin Green). He says he was carjacked yesterday and reported it.
Flash to someone putting a gun to his head in broad daylight and him handing over his keys. He was at work when Sarnoff was sprung.
Natalia sets up lasers at the scene to figure out where the shots came from. They show Sarnoff was shooting at the Russians. They weren't trying to free him, they were trying to kill him.
Ryan notices the VIN number scratched off of the SUV that pushed the ambulance onto the tracks. He finds another VIN elsewhere in the car and Natalia compliments him on this amazing feat.
Caine interviews the owner Jacob Yarovski. He's bruised. He doesn't talk at first by Frank leans in close and says if he doesn't they'll put him in a place that'll make the gulag look like a tennis camp. Jacob starts talking, saying Ivan messed up and word came down it was time for him to go.
Flash to someone in the prison putting rat poison on his food. The poison was to get him out of jail and into the ambulance and make a point by killing him publicly.
Calliegh looks at transport camera footage, watching as the face of the beemer driver comes into focus. Whatever she sees causes her to walk in slow motion toward Eric.
She shows him the photo. Alexander Sharova - Delko's dad - is behind the wheel. Calleigh wants to bring him in. Eric says he wouldn't do this. She asks him if he's already warned him then asks to look at his recent calls, displaying that there's a lot of trust in the relationship.
Yelina gets out of her car in the swamp. She puts a gun in her purse and goes over to Gregor, who's yelling in the phone that he wants 500 automatic rifles in his hands by the end of the day. He wants to show her something. They come around the corner to find a goon digging what looks like a grave. She asks who it's for.
He says she has to prove her loyalty. He has a new target for her: Ivan. Or she dies.
Frank and Caine figure Sarnoff would have to see a doctor for the amount of rat poison he ate.
Cut to Dr. Fordham getting into her car and Sarnoff, in the backseat, putting a gun to her head. He's bloody and gross and wants her help.
Then cut to Dr. Fordham telling Calleigh she didn't want to help but he had a gun. She says rat poison is a blood thinner, he'll bleed out if he's not treated. And he had a cut on his arm that she redressed. Ryan looks at the bandages and sees that they're from Sarnoff's boxing club.
Ryan and Caine go there and do some serious squinting and head tilting at a boxer. He offers to set up a meeting with Sarnoff, but only if Caine goes alone.
Sarnoff calls Caine from a few yards away at their meeting place. He says they both want Gregor. But he won't come in. He runs.
Eric finds his dad fishing on a pier. He shows him the photo of him in the beemer. His dad says he wasn't there by choice. Eric tells his dad this is his chance to get out. His dad says it can't be done.
Calleigh gets a call about a carjacking. The person won't leave their name.
Calleigh and Eric wait while Ryan goes over the recently discovered beemer. She thinks Eric's dad had something to do with the anonymous tip. She says if he's talked to his dad, it makes him an accessory.
Calleigh and Ryan go over the car. Montage time! Calleigh finds an ATM receipt for Anthony Green in the car, from the morning. He wasn't carjacked. Green's a part of it.
Frank and Caine grill him, informing him that lying to them is a bad idea. Caine practically turns his head sideways, so you know he's angry.
Yelina calls Caine with her next move. But Ryan checks out the location and it's empty. Yelina's GPS goes off. Caine calls for "full swat" and they head to the location. A gunfight breaks out, with the lab techs squaring off with Russian gangsters. A car makes its way out through the hail of bullets, including shots from Calleigh.
Then Calleigh gets a good look at the driver. It's Eric.
Calleigh stands by her man for about 2 seconds then tells Ryan what she saw, that Eric was driving his dad out.
Caine goes back to the office to watch Yelina's GPS. He narrates and heads to her location when she hits the panic button. It's Gregor's club. Caine goes there, gun drawn.
He finds Gregor, bloodied and wounded, inching his way across the ground. Caine tells him they both know he's not going to survive his injuries.
Flashback to Gregor dragging Yelina into the club and stepping on her GPS, then Ivan bashing him over the head and beating the crap out of him. He empties the gun of all but one bullet and gets lucky, shooting him in the leg. He takes Yelina.
Gregor wants his gun and Caine promises it to him as soon as he tells him where they are.
In the next scene we see a shaking Gregor slowly putting the gun to his head and cut away as he pulls the trigger.
In a parking garage, Caine stalks Ivan who now has Yelina hostage. He drives through the garage and Caine rushes down the stairs. Ivan drives over the tire spikes and pops his tires. He crashes. He tells Yelina to get out. She does, on the opposite side of the car. They walk slowly and we see Caine come up behind her. He says her name and she hits the deck, giving Caine a clear shot through Ivan's eye. He takes it.
She thanks him and Caine decides it's time to leave.
A helicopter flies over the swamp. A car is crashed on the side of a pond. The airbags are deployed. Eric's dad is slumped in the passenger seat. The driver's side is empty. Caine creeps up to the car and taps on the window to wake up pops. He helps him out and arrests him.
Calleigh drives up in her hilariously size-disproportionate Hummer and runs to the car. Alexander is covered in blood, but it's not his. Calleigh asks if she hit Eric. Alexander says Eric was there to get him out before he committed a crime.
"We can't lose him," Calleigh says to Caine. "Not gonna let that happen," Caine purrs. He follows the tracks that seem to lead into the swamp. Eric is nowhere in sight.
Calleigh walks in slow motion, choking back tears, worried that she accidentally shot her boyfriend while he was helping his felon father escape from a gun battle.
And...fade out.
