"Sounds of Silence" is the twentieth episode from the first series of the popular American crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, which is set in Las Vegas, Nevada.

[edit] Plot summary

When a car runs over a body, the team discover it wasn't the car that killed him as he was already dead. The investigation reveals personal information about Grissom, which surprises Sara and Nick. Catherine and Warrick, meanwhile, investigate what appears to be a mob hit in a coffee store that leaves 5 dead.

[edit] Trivia

At the end of the episode, Grissom talks to Dr. Gilbert in American Sign Language. What he is saying is that his mother lost her hearing when she was eight years old. He once asked her, 'What is it like to be deaf?' and she told Grissom, who loved to swim, that it was like being underwater. She also taught him that being deaf does not make one inferior and that deafness can be a blessing. The camera pulls back to reveal a fountain as the two continue signing, and the sound of the fountain becomes dominant as the scene fades to the closing credit slide.
