Fire and Ice

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 28 December 2020]

There are two distinct cases here. We have a man ready to go to trial for killing his wife and son. It is believed he set fire to the house and they died. He sends a videotape to Grissom to look into his case. Even though he may face the death penalty, Grissom can't get honest answers from him. Warrick, still in Sidle's doghouse, assists in the investigation. The second case involves a young guy who is sitting in his car and is shot in the head from the back seat. It turns out he is a "runner." These are young men who make bets for people outside of Las Vegas, and there is a network of them. His death causes a sort of sick domino effect. There is a third issue. We see Eckley's jealousy and tactlessness when it comes to Grissom. He will take on the villain's role more than a few times.

The Arson and the Runner

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 24 August 2022]

When Grissom receives a video tape from the inmate Frank Damon, he learns that he is accused of arson that killed his wife Jeannie and son Toby and Conrad Ecklie is the CSI that investigated the evidences. Damon claims that he is innocent and asks Grissom to reopen his case. Grissom travels to the prison and interviews Damon, who is also a volunteer fireman, but he finds that Damon is not telling the truth. Meanwhile, Catherine and Nick investigate the case of the sixteen-year-old runner Joey Hillman that was murdered with a shot in the head in his car in the parking area of a casino. Warrick explains them how the system works and they interview his mother Sandra and other runners that might get profit with Hillman's death.

"Fahrenheit 932" is another great episode of "CSI" with two good cases. The case of the death of the runner is well-resolved by Nick and Catherine. The case of Grissom is technically well-resolved but morally there is a question in the behavior of Frank Damon. My vote is eight.

CSI: Las Vegas --Fahrenheit 932

[Scarecrow-88 · 7/10 · 6 August 2015]

Anatomy of a fire and how a man on death row might just be rescued thanks in part to his appeal to Gil Grissom to explain his innocence. Glass melted into the floor of a closet due to a specific kind of accelerant. Credit card receipt showing the purchase of gasoline. The supposed night before a camping trip. A marriage about to fall apart, even though the man on death row was a good father. A frequent visitor he tells Grissom is his sister (but they are awfully chummy). A burnt hand and a door burn (alligatoring, Gil calls it) that might help the man even though he keeps concealing certain things from Gil. The man being a volunteer fireman, hoping to be a full time fireman prior to his conviction. Gil earning the ire of his dayshift equal, Conrad Eckle, who was the forensics lead on the case that led to the death row inmate's conviction. With Sara and Warrick's help, Grissom just might discover that the inmate could be innocent. Meanwhile, Catherine and Nick are working the case of a kid "running bets" who was shot in the back of the head when getting in his car…this could tie to another runner wanting his route. This episode will probably be best remembered for its dissection of an arson case, how a fire could start in a number of ways and examining the scene where it took place to possibly identify a different reason behind its cause. The tension between Conrad and Gil is once again exposed and, plain and simple, they don't like each other. Ego obviously motivates Conrad to confront Gil over looking at the case he supposedly solved, but the pursuit of the truth always trumps how a reevaluation might prove the former was wrong. Office politics also shows us how Conrad continues to dissuade Gil to leave the "done case" alone, regardless if the results might prove that an innocent man was put behind bars. In Cat and Nick's case, a sneeze and the mucus deposited from it might just implicate the shooter of the kid in his car. Tragically, the other loser brother and his use of a client's money blown in a casino could have been the catalyst in the shooting.
