- A murder is caught on tape. With no body or a crime scene, Sara, Warrick and Catherine must get as much information as possible from the grainy 16 mm film. Grissom and Nick must brave a colony of fire ants to recover a body.
- Brass urges Grissom for hastily examination of a corpse that is covered in fire ants, who made their nest in the casket and completely cleaned up bones. A black fly pupa case allows Grissom and Greg Sanders to establish an entomological time-line of about 19 months. Facial reconstruction from the skull for victim identification is extremely difficult, so he enlists the help of specialist 'artist' Teri Miller- it's stable boy Randy Traschell, Down syndrome, missing for 17 months from a horse ranch, which fits the dun beetle found in the skull. Geometrical extrapolation allows Nick Stokes to conclude a cheep spur was used; the broken-off tooth fits present stable-boy Enrique Vasquez, an illegal immigrant. Two symmetrical wounds in the corps fit - Catherine and Warwick examine a pornographic snuff movie, send to a studio, about a murdered porn star. Archie's triangulation identifies the abandoned Mandolin Tower hotel where it was made. The security guard admits having had paid sex with her, and kept silent about the blood afterward for fear to lose his job. Some saliva leads to porn producer Douglas Samson, who has a sexual crime record. A corps is found in the river bed: actress Susan Hodap, HIV positive and hence quarantined from the legal porn circuit.—KGF Vissers
- When the distributor of porn movies summons the CSI team to see a film, Grissom realizes that the film is a snuff film and there is a murder filmed in 16 mm. They learn that the victim is Susan Hodap, who is HIV positive. Meanwhile, Grissom is also invited to see a corpse devoured by ants along a long time. The team investigates both murders and Teri Miller uses her expertise to find the identity of the victim. They learn that he is Randy Trachsel, who has Down Syndrome, and they head to the ranch to learn what has happened.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
