Finn receives a package at home apparently from her mother with the statue of twins and a severed finger in a jar. Then she receives a phone call from Paul Winthrop saying that this is the beginning of the end. In the laboratory, Russell recalls the legend of the twins Castor and Pollux and explains that Paul wants to say that now his brother and him are one and more powerful. Finn does not believe that Daniel Shaw, who is arrested, is Paul's partner. Daniel asks Finn to let him help her to find Paul's real partner. Daniel believes that Brother Larson was providing girls to Paul based on the lead he had followed to find his abducted daughter. Daniel is released to work with Finn and confronts Larson, but he says that the money he received was from Paul's father, Collin, who paid him for extortion. Hodges identifies a rare tattoo ink that was used in Jared's tattoos in the severed finger, and he locates the wife of the artist, Margo Vance, who is living in Las Vegas with her twin sister Amelia. Greg and Sara go to Amelia's apartment and find the place fully processed and no body. They find also a photo of Paul tattooed like his brother. Russell learns that Paul Winthrop's bank account is frozen, so Collin Winthrop is providing money to his son. Soon Russell learns dark secrets about the origins of Paul and Jared, disclosing the identity of their parents.
"The End Game" is the disappointing last episode of "CSI", since I was expecting an emotional story to end this series. The Gig Harbor Killer's plot is not engaging and should have ended a long time ago. The technology of listening to plants to hear a dialog between two men seems ridiculous to me. The subplot of Nick moving to San Diego is maybe the best part of this show and his farewell to Sara and Greg is nice. The open end with Finn in coma should have been better resolved by the writers, unless they expected a sequel. Paul Winthrop should have died in the end and disappoints that he has survived. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "The End Game"
