‘CSI’ Goes ‘Old School’ In Upcoming Episode
1 min readCSI: Crime Scene Investigation follows a team of crime scene investigators using forensic science to solve cases, but what would happen if the science and technology wasn’t available? Well, CSI Files has learned exclusively that an upcoming episode will deal with just that. (Spoilers after the jump!)
This season’s sixteenth episode will find the Las Vegas Crime Lab facing a ticking clock.
“There’s a blackout in Las Vegas in the southwest,” a source tells CSI Files. “Our machines go down so some of our high-tech stuff is not available to us,” the source shares. Adding, “We have to go old school forensics and improvise some stuff to solve a crime that has a ticking clock.”
Episode Sixteen, written by Gavin Harris (“73 Seconds” and “Brain Doe”) will revolve around one of the most horrific crimes possible, and certainly one a CSI would not want to be under pressure to solve. “There’s a kidnapping, and during that kidnapping, the lights go out in Vegas and our backup generators are not working out the way they should be. Usually, when there’s been a kidnapping, if you haven’t found them in seventy-two hours you will probably not find them,” educates the source. “That creates an obstacle for our CSI team.”
In November, Harris spoke with CSI Files and teased that it would be a “departure episode.” Production will begin later this month and an airdate has yet to be scheduled.
Now that sounds interesting
Didn’t something like this happen on NCIS?
But CSI will do it better. Remember that NCIS use’s minimal science (except for Abbie and Duckie) and more in your face attitude to solve their case’s
That reminds me of Without A Trace where forensics played a minimal role.
