CSI: Miami Episode 8.01 – “Out of Time” Spoiler Photos

Lynn — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 20:29:40 +0000

Here are the very first episodic photos for the new season of CSI: Miami. In them, we see the entrance of the new regular cast member, Eddie Cibrian, some of what seem like flashback scenes and a photo of the entire team gathered around Eric Delko’s bedside as he lay in a coma.

The episode should be a very intense one, especially for fans of Adam Rodriguez. I don’t know about you, but I am so looking forward to finding out if Eric comes out of the coma…

As Delko’s (Adam Rodriguez, center) life hangs in the balance, Horatio (David Caruso, far left), Alexx (Khandi Alexander, left center), Calleigh (Emily Procter, far left) Frank (Rex Linn, center left) and Natalia (Eva La Rue, right) flash back 12 years to reveal how Miami’s CSIs first met and became a team, on the eighth season premiere of CSI: MIAMI, Monday, (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT)

CSI: Miami – Episode 7.04 “Raging Cannibal” Recap

Lynn — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:24:47 +0000

Episode 7.04 – Raging Cannibal
Air Date: October 13, 2008

A couple “exploring” in the Everglades are interrupted by what sounds like a panther. Suddenly, a man, bleeding fron his mouth, comes out of the brush. The woman calls 911.

As the man, lies dead, Horatio and Frank question the man who discovered the victim. The man says he is authorized to be in that restricted area, but his lady friend is not, “technically.” He appears to have brought her to the ‘Glades to “get technical.”

They identify the victim as Vincent Koslov. Price and Ryan inspect the Koslov’s bloodied abdomen. Price tells him that he must have been stabbed through to the stomach, leading to his spitting up blood. In autopsy, though, she finds his stomach and lungs were not pierced. A tattooed piece of flesh in the his stomach indicates he had another man’s blood on his face…he ate another man’s flesh. Horatio recognizes the stag design as a Russian mob tattoo, one that indicates he was “marked for death.” Who was the other victim, though.
(click on “Read More” for the rest of the recap)

Calleigh and Eric search the surrounding area, and find the other victim, Andrew Brodsky. Brodsky is also tattoed. Eric, who is half Russian and uncomfortably familiar with the Russian mob, tells her that they tattoo the story of their exploits. The cat on the victim’s chest indicates that he was a thief. Brodsky has a large bite mark on his neck, exposing the severed carotid artery. There is a bloodied diving knife at the scene. The other victim’s blood wasn’t on the knife handle, though. They now need to find a third man. At the lab, Eric finds prints on the knife handle, belonging to Greg Donner, who works at Diver Tech Supply.

[NOTE: Was I the only person who enjoyed the subtle irony of a character named "Donner" in an episode entitled Raging Cannibal...?]

Horatio questions Donner. He claims to have sold the knife to a blonde woman that morning. He had her number and name; Cassandra Gray. When Horatio and Eric confront Ms. Gray, she confesses…far too quickly.

When Horatio and Eric question her, they notice lacerations on Gray’s hands. Eric swabs the wounds for the lab.

The swabs from Gray’s hands yield bits of glass from the cuts. In fact, there are three different kinds of glass, including tempered window glass. This leads them to the idea that she must have fallen onto a city street while she was running from someone. Tempered glass is commonly recycled in asphalt, and may accound for the cuts. They believe Gray isn’t covering for anyone, but running from someone…someone scary enough to make it worth taking a murder rap.

Wounds on both bodies indicate that the men fought in ultimate fighting competitions, the all-out, no rules street fighting sport. Horatio and Ryan head to the one Russian-owned fight club, that of Ivan Sarnoff. In Sarnoff’s club, Ryan finds a large pool of dried blood hidden beneath a new mat.

In the lab Price identifies the blood as Nathan Madden’s. Madden’s blood was in the system, because his wife turned in a reference sample, after filing a missing person report two days earlier. She doesn’t know why Nathan would have been at the fight club. She says that a man visited the other day, and Nathan called him Weller. He took off after saying that he wasn’t going to let anyone take their home from them. She tells Horatio and Eric that she can’t say anymore.

Calleigh and Natalia find that the yachts in the area been sold recently to a single corporation, except for the Maddens’ boat. They all sold for $10,000. They figure that the mob was extorting the owners to sell, only to lease the boats back to them. Madden must have refused.

Searchers find Madden’s sport boat. Ryan and Eric find arterial spray high on the hull, consistent with the arterial wound on Brodsky’s neck. The rest of the boat seems to have been wiped of prints. Eric says no shoe prints showed up since the gray color of the carpet makes it impossible to find dirt. Ryan, though, shows him a crafty as usual technique, shining a flashlight from one direction, and using a mirror to look at the carpet from the opposite direction. One set of prints looks like the victim’s shoes. Another shoe, though, matches that of Greg Donner’s.

Donner claims “it was business.” Apparently Andrew just didn’t follow orders. He says he stabbed Vince because he had become a liability. Why do these mobsters talk so much? When they ask about the depth of his involvement with the Russian mob, Donner asks how “Russian” his name sounds. Eric replies that they know his real name is Bratva. Asked about Madden, Donner says he heard the naive man was fighting for his boat slip. He thanks Eric and Calleigh for flushing out Gray, a “loose end that needed tying.”

Horatio tells Gray that they have the real killer. Afraid of being set free, she tells how she and Andrew were outside the gym, when a man carried out a body. Andrew and the other man shared a look, then Andrew pulled a gun on her, and said he had to kill her for seeing the body. Down on the ground, he whispers to her to run and hide. Someone saw her go back to her apartment, so they had to kill Andrew. A U.S. Marshall shows up to enroll Gray into witness protection.

Calleigh and Eric go to the pier behind the fight club. The dumpster is empty, but they hear a garbage truck around the corner. They stop the truck and find a body inside, that of Nathan Madden.

Eric convinces Price to let him look for prints on Madden’s body. He tells her that the nature of fight club beatings should yield the prints of the murderer. Sarnoff’s prints are all over the body. Sarnoff is dismissive about Gray’s testimony, given the trouble she’s had in the past. When they humor his denial of guilt, and ask who did it, Sarnoff says he’ll talk to Jason Weller, and he’ll turn himself in. He smugly taunts Horatio with the fact that, no matter what, Weller’s testimony will exonerate him.

Outside, Horatio says goodbye to Gray, telling her to call him if she needs anything. Sarnoff says it’s a shame. Weller was one of his best fighters. “You trained him well,” retorts Horatio. Then, Horatio tells Sarnoff that his goal is to take him down.

So, we have a new season arc.

CSI: Miami – Episode 7.03 “And How Does That Make You Kill?” Recap

Lynn — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:53:03 +0000

CSI: Miami – Episode 7.03 – And How Does That Make You Kill?
Air Date: October 06, 2008

A man is talking to his psychiatrist, Dr. Marsh, telling her about his recurring dream. His words turn into a fantasy of sneaking into the doctor’s office, and killing her.

Horatio shows up at the scene where Dr. Marsh’s daughter Chelsea lies dead on the floor of Marsh’s office.

Horatio Opening Smart Aleck Comeback:

Dr. Marsh: You have to understand, Lieutenant. People tell me secrets all day. They have to know that I will keep them. I took an oath.
Horatio: So did I.

Delko struggles a bit upon entering the Marsh house, telling Calleigh that he saw Marsh professionally. He began seeing her…the department has a contract with her…after discovering that the staff psychiatrist office had been bugged.

Dr. Tara (the new M.E.) determines that she died of a single puncture wound, and had hit her head on the desk in the struggle. Liver temp indicates time of death between 1 AM and 4 AM. Delko finds blood on Marsh’s office sofa, nowhere near the body. Signs of a struggle include a broken decorative clock.
(click on “Read More” for the rest of the recap)

Wolf shows Horatio a piece of Dr. Marsh’s calendar, torn off by Chelsea, when she fell. It indicates that Dr. Marsh’s last patient was Nick Burnham.

Burnham tells Horatio and Frank about his dream. He claims to have merely thrown a paperweight, breaking her clock. He seems nervous, but not obviously guilty. He has no alibi, but insists his dream was only a dream.

Tara finds that the weapon was long enough that it chipped the back of one of Chelsea’s front teeth. She also shows no signs of a struggle. Someone, though, used a long, thin blade to punch through the back of her head.

Finally looking in the juvenile database, they match the blood from the couch to seventeen year old Allison O’Conner. Allison sees Dr. Marsh and attends Chelsea’s school. She acts surprised, and mildly defensive upon hearing that Chelsea has died. Allison denies killing Chelsea, and reveals cut wounds on her legs. She’s a cutter…a self-mutilator.

A tox screen shows that Chelsea was full of prescription anti-psychotics and anti-depressants. Dr. Marsh tells Delko and Horatio that Chelsea must have been in her office to write out prescriptions. Horatio asks about Marsh’s son. She says that he always took care of Chelsea.

Justin, Dr. Marsh’s son, tells Calleigh and Frank that Chelsea suffered from anxiety. He says that she had a boyfriend, and was going to break up with him. He says that he saw a woman drive up and look around their yard, and remembers her vanity plates. Pam Daschle…the plate owner…says that she followed her ex-husband Eddie to Dr. Marsh’s house to find negative information about Eddie to use in a custody case. She realized he was getting help, not cheating, so she left.

Natalia tells Ryan that a sex kit she ran on Chelsea found DNA for Shane Huntington, a Miami heir with a record for posession with intent to sell. Huntington tells Natalia and Wolf that he met Chelsea after one of his sessions with Dr. Marsh. He said she dumped him the night of her death. About his lack of grief over Chelsea’s death, he says that he’s in therapy because he can’t access his feelings.

Delko goes to Dr. Marsh’s office. She says her files are missing, thinking that the police took them. Delko, though, says they didn’t take them, and finds the lock was jimmied, and is covered in prints. She’s concerned about her notes full of patients’ secrets. They wonder if Chelsea stumbled across a burglar.

Horatio tells Eddie Daschle that they found his prints on the file cabinet. Horatio thinks Chelsea caught him stealing the files, so he killed her. Daschle says he looked at the files one day in the office, to see what she wrote about him, but he didn’t steal them. He claims his son as his alibi for the night of Chelsea’s death.

Horatio finds the son Cory at the salon where Pam Daschle cuts hair. Cory says his dad has changed. He says he went swordfishing with his dad. Cory’s mom tells him not to cover for him. She claims that Eddie leaves Cory alone and goes out drinking. Horatio notices Pam Daschle’s scissors.

Eric finds that Pam Daschle’s scissors match the depth of the wound, and finds a bit of Chelsea’s brain matter on them. She finally admits that she got angry when she saw Eddie in therapy. She isn’t willing to let Eddie regain shared custody, just because a shrink says he’s okay. She killed Chelsea by accident, intending to kill Dr. Marsh.

The team responds to a gunfire call at Dr. Marsh’s house. They find her bleeding in the driveway. Horatio finds Justin Marsh frantically rinsing his hands in the pool. After Dr. Marsh dies, Tara tells Wolf that it was a close range gunshot that probably passed through her aorta and lodged in her back. She gives the bullet to Wolf. Delko questions how Justin would have had time to stash a weapon, when Horatio found him with fresh blood on his hands.

Justin says he was inside the house and heard the shot. He ran out to find his mom lying on the ground. He pulls out a wad of cash that a patient…Shane Huntington…had paid him to steal the files. Shane tells Calleigh merely wanted the files to hide all the bad stuff he’d done from his father. He claims he torched his file, and threw the rest in the trash.

Calleigh finds Delko looking through Dr. Marsh’s files, and questions the wisdom of breaking the confidentiality to find inadmissable evidence. He convinces her to help him look through them to find any lead they can use. They can substantiate what they find in some other way. Calleigh sees Delko’s file, which reveals Delko’s feelings for her.

Delko, though, finds Nick Burnham’s file, which says that he actually broke the clock with a handgun. They match Burnham’s gun to the bullet from Dr. Marsh’s back.

Nick tells Horatio and Delko that he got angry when she canceled his upcoming appointments.

Calleigh and Delko talk about the files. He apologizes for talking her into compromising her ethics, and asks if she saw his file. She effectively evades the point, telling him they make a good team.

Horatio unites Eddie Daschle with his son.

I really enjoyed the twists and turns of this episode, without all the gang or mob confusion. Just an old-school, interesting case…my favorite! How did you like this episode?

So what do you make of the romantic tension between Calleigh and Delko in this episode? Do you think they will get together romantically?

CSI: Miami – Episode 7.02 “Won’t Get Fueled Again” Recap

Lynn — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:37:54 +0000

CSI: Miami – Episode 7.02 Won’t Get Fueled Again
Original Air Date: September 29, 2008

The episode’s primary crime takes off at a beach party, where the well-dressed scene is disrupted by a screaming man in flames. No one helps, but all manage to clear out of the flaming man’s way. [Wouldn't want to get cinders on those white linen jackets. Plus, it's 2008! Sure the man is freaking out, but no one else has heard "stop, drop, and roll" millions of times in any given week?!?]

The man was not a guest at the party, and no one recognizes the man. Dr. Tara Price, the new Medical Examiner, works on the poor man, as Horatio comes over to introduce himself. She explains the man’s status. Besides being badly burned, he is covered with an accelerant.

Cue, pointless one-liner setup…

Horatio: What does the position tell you?
Tara: Pugilistic pose… body contorts to after being badly burnt. From the Latin pugil, meaning “fights with fists”.
Horatio: A fight… to the death.

(click on “Read More” for the rest of the recap)

The party’s host, Paul Sanders, meets Horatio on the beach. The man is a bit cavalier, and very annoyed. H informs Mr. Sanders that his guests are all.

Calleigh and Eric follow the trail in hopes of finding the man’s starting point. At the point of origin, in the nearby parking lot, Eric spots a piece of melted garment. They don’t, however, find any signs of the accelerant.

Ryan finds a melted name tag, melted together with a piece of clothing. He and Horatio decide to use a liquid and a CT scanner to uncover any remnants of the engraving in the badge. The badge reveals the name “Sam” and the name of a valet service.

Calleigh and Ryan show up at the valet service. The first man they meet claims to be Sam, and that the badge must have been stolen. He gets a bit defensive about their assertion that he would have been near the murder scene. Sam says he’s the only valet, and works as an independent for private parties.

Eric meets Dr. Price, and is obviously smitten. She found high octane gasoline. He also had severe burns in his throat, indicating that he had swallowed gasoline. They deduce that he probably was forced to swallow it, rather than it being an indication of suicide. When Eric asks about the ID, she roughly yanks out a tooth, and tells him to take it up to DNA for the “old Nicholas II treatment.” Eric takes it to Natalia who tells him it’s a reference to cryogenic grinding, the technique used to ID the Russian Tsar’s family remains. She also tells Eric that she may have said that to impress him.

[So, the game is on between Eric and the new ME!]

The extreme cold preserves the sample, then it’s magnetically pulverized into a very fine powder. The man is Dan Granger, a Dade University student, with a record –trespassing and petty theft.

At Dade U., Horatio and Frank find Granger’s roommate, Johnny Young…selling gas cans from a pickup bed. Johnny and Dan were siphoning fuel from upscale cars at the beach, then selling it at a discount rate to students. This explains how he swallowed gasoline. He claims he saw Dan running, in flames. Dan had been siphoning from a black Escalade, when it happened. The SUV took off, at the same time that Dan caught on fire. Johnny gives them the can of fuel from the Escalade, but Frank and Horatio take him in for questioning.

Eric tests the fuel from the can, finding it’s high octane. It also has added toluene. This narrows it down to one particular station, Arago Fuel. Calleigh and Ryan talk to Mr. Nelson at Arago. He tells them that a black Escalade had been in…towing an Airstream trailer…the day before, but the driver hadn’t purchased any fuel. He was just looking under the hood, and hadn’t asked for any help.

Ryan asks the man about marks on the fuel tank filler covers. He says it looks like someone forced it open with a crowbar. He than finds that he is missing about 1,500 gallons. So, the Airstream owner must have pumped the fuel out through an opening beneath the trailer.

The man says he had a pretty customer that offered him “anything” for a tank of gas. She was the distraction for the fuel thieves, probably organized crime. Nelson tells them that the condom from the “payment” was in the ladies’ room.

DNA from the condom belongs to Andrea Rinell, who, of course, has a record…solicitation. When Horatio and Natalia question Rinell, she seems surprised about the fuel theft.

The surveillance cameras were out at the Arago Fuel, but Ryan shows Horatio video from the bank next door. The images reveal the hose extending from beneath the trailer, as well as the rear plate on the Escalade. The plate is bogus…a “cold” plate. Calleigh spots the Escalade at an intersection. She pursues, and calls for backup, but loses the vehicle. She catches up to it, though, as it’s sitting in the street on fire.

Ryan shows up at the torched Escalade scene. Calleigh has found a used flare, but no accelerant in the vehicle. Other evidence seems to have been wiped down, leaving little to work on, except a fingernail in the glovebox. It turns out to be Johnny Young’s fingernail.

Johnny admits to Frank and Ryan that he dug in the glovebox of the SUV, looking for cash. Instead, he found a plastic bag full of passports. He thought he could make money with them.

Frank finds all the passports belong to Central and South American women in their 20s. All of the women are in the country legally, having applied for student visas. All of them, though, have used the same address for their applications, leading Frank and Horatio to wonder if they’re being held. Police find Andrea Rinell. She tells Horatio that her captor had told them not to tell anyone, or they and their families would be killed. So, the team has uncovered a human trafficking ring.

Eric checks for hydrocarbons on the contents of the Escalade. After getting a hit on a cellphone, he finds that it has also been rigged as a stun gun. Prints on the cellphone/stun gun point to Sam Laughlin, the parking valet.

Calleigh tells Laughlin that they found the Airstream at his house, and are searching it. He admits to the fuel theft, but not the murder. When she tells him they know about the stun gun, he admits that he caught Dan stealing gasoline from him. He said he didn’t know the guy would ignite.

She then tells Laughlin that they know about his trafficking ring. He denies it. When Calleigh tells him that they have Andrea Rinell, he denies knowing her, and that he was only told there would be a distraction. He claims he was hired, and that the Escalade and trailer belong to someone else. He refuses to identify the ringleaders.

Ryan finds a hidden plate, belonging to Paul Sanders, the host at the party. Sanders owns a shipping business…one that transports women. Horatio leads the police to Sanders, and makes the bust in his usual, cool way. Sanders claims that he offers them a piece of the American dream…as he’s being handcuffed, and escorted out of the building.

CSI: Miami – 7.01 “Resurrection” Discussion Points

Lynn — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:20:11 +0000

Let’s discuss this season premiere episode! Here are a few thoughts I had when watching the show, but I hope you’ll join in with your thoughts too!

Was this resolved too fast? Was taking out Saris and Ortega, and removing all the fused alloy rounds all just a little too quick and easy? I know that Saris is technically at large, and will surface again, of course. Still, one episode to tie up so many problems in one big motion seems like a big deal, even for Horatio Caine.
Do you think it was really necessary for Horatio to fake his own death to accomplish his goal? It just seems a little extreme to me.
The sentiment among the criminals was that they would have a heyday, with Horatio dead. It seems to me taht the rest of the the team would be able to step up and keep crime under control, after all, Horatio did lead them for so long that surely they learned from him, right?
Is it just me, or is that Jake character a bit sketchy? I’m not totally sure I trust him at all. Calleigh could do much better…like Delko!
I’m no ballistics expert, but if the boat blew up, wouldn’t all those bullets start to go off in every direction? It wouldn’t be just one explosion, but a big one, followed by thousands of little ones when the bullets went off…?

Overall, though I really enjoyed the episode. I liked that they left things open for Calleigh and Delko to get together.

What did you think of this episode? Leave a comment and let’s discuss!

CSI: Miami Recap – 7.01 Resurrection Recap

Lynn — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:11:43 +0000

CSI: Miami – Episode 7.01: Resurrection
Air Date: September 22, 2008

This episode answers the question in everyone’s mind with a resounding YES! Horatio Caine DOES, in fact, have an endless supply of those Silhouette Titanium Model 8568 sunglasses!

The show begins with Ryan at the scene of Horatio’s shooting, helping load the body into a vehicle. Calleigh and Eric arrive. They are upset, especially since Ryan said that he’d already released the body. Eric is suspicious of Ryan, but Calleigh quickly turns the focus to the list of Horatio’s obvious enemies.
(Click on “Read More” for the rest of the recap)

Eric goes to the morgue, but doesn’t find Horatio. The tech enters and says that he released Horatio’s body to a federal agent. Upset, Eric questions why he would do that, but the tech says the man was credentialed.

Frank tells Calleigh that a private jet, bound for Puerto Rico, took off about the time of the shooting, and there were no witnesses. He also tells her that Julia and Kyle were on board the jet. Puerto Rican authorities, though, said there was no sign of them.

Eric returns to the airfield, where Boa Vista is processing the scene, and tells her that it was Ryan. Boa Vista, however, points out a footprint and a fleck of coagulated blood in the blood pool. This could be their first good break, assuming it belongs to the shooter.

In the lab, Boa Vista DNA got a match on the coagulated blood in the Codis. It’s Brett Hanson’s blood, but he was killed in jail, the day before. They decide the murderer must have stepped in Hanson’s blood before going to the scene of Horatio’s murder.

They bring in Miguel Diaz, the only inmate released from Miami-Dade detention within the past day, and an associate of Ortega. Diaz claims he took a cellphone photo of Horatio’s body to take credit for the hit.

In Diaz’ photo, Calleigh notices the reflection of a man standing on the roof of a nearby maintenance hangar. At the hangar, Calleigh finds a bandage identical to the one FBI Agent Caldwell was wearing when she talked him that morning.

Calleigh and Eric interview Evan Caldwell. He claims to have no involvement, but they insist that he might have had something to gain, if he could take sole credit for taking Ortega down. They show him that the handwriting of the FBI Agent that took Horatio’s body matches Caldwell’s.

They seize Caldwell’s phone, and find a text –”IT’S DONE”– from the same time as Horatio’s murder. They call the number of the recipient of the text. Ryan, standing right outside the lab, answers his phone.

When Calleigh and Eric confront Ryan, he says he was following orders…from Horatio. He tells them that Horatio is alive, and that he staged his own murder, when Ortega had ordered someone to kill him. Knowing this was the only way to survive, and he planned this ruse with Ryan and Caldwell. Horatio picked Caldwell as the shooter, and had Ryan take care of setting up the blood. Horatio told him to tell no one, until the plan was over.

Horatio tells Julia to go to a safe place to go hide, because he needs a few more hours.

Horatio meets with Miguel, a Cuban-American community leader. Miguel arrives with $10M to help Horatio get the fused alloy rounds off the streets, and out of the neighborhoods.

Caldwell and Eric talk to Ortega to get customer names. Ortega won’t talk, so Eric takes him “for a ride”, in the front of the car, the “informant’s seat.”

Horatio meets with Elena. He asks her to offer the $10M from to Saris, telling him that she works with foreign interests.

The car Eric is driving, with Ortega in the passenger seat, and Frank in back, gets stopped at a light, where an armored truck is gunned down by robbers armed with fused alloy ammo. Frank runs to assist the truck, while Eric jumps out to help a woman trapped in her burning car. Of course, Ortega manages to flee.

The only survivor from the armored car tells Eric about the shooting. He says they were stuck at the light for a long time, and that one man came up to the truck. They didn’t expect bullets to penetrate the vehicle. Eric meets Horatio, and tells him that they lost Ortega.

Calleigh finds epithelial sells on the glass of the armored truck. The robber must have left it, while reaching in for the keys. Boa Vista matches it to Todd Keener, affiliated with a local gang, but not one of Ortega’s. So, the rounds are on the streets. Eric interrogates Keener, but he refuses to talk.

Elena meets with Saris. She offers him the money for a large amount of fused alloy rounds…all of Ortega’s supply. Saris pulls his gun on her, and asks who she works for. She convinces him, though, that she works for a global military consortium. He agrees to buy back all the ammo, and sell it to her for twice the price.

Ryan and Eric check out the armored car scene, following Ortega’s trail of blood. It ends at a space in a nearby parking facility. He must have stolen a car.

Ryan determines that someone used the intelligent traffic light to stall the armored truck. They trace the override emitter to ATF agent (and Calleigh’s old flame), Jake Berkeley. Calleigh interviews Berkeley, who claims to have lost his emitter to the Crip Kings, while undercover. He agrees to find out what he can.

Saris meets with the Crip Kings, and buys their unused fused alloy rounds at $8 each, twice what they paid Ortega the month before.

Ryan and Eric check Diaz’ cellphone to see if Ortega called him, after his escape. He had called the phone from an airstrip at the edge of the Everglades.

The team descends on Ortega. For some reason, which seems unwise to me, Horatio nabs Ortega.

Berkeley shows up with all the firearms from the armored car job. He tells Calleigh that he was seen taking them, and she’s impressed that he made that sacrifice for this case. He tells her he’s going on another assignment, and wants her to wait for him. She says she can’t wait around.

Saris tells Julia about the bullets, and his plan to sell them to a South American buyer. After he lays out his plan to her, she says she wants a divorce, then walks off, as Horatio reveals himself, gun in hand. After a very quick exchange of only a couple of bullets, Horatio’s shot hits a propane canister, blowing up Saris’ yacht, and presumably all of the contraband ammo, and Saris himself.
