| The lives of two CSIs are put in danger when an old enemy of Horatio's returns. When a truck full of confiscated weapons is hijacked and the weapons are released back into the public, Horatio links the crime to Clavo Cruz, a man he put away for murder years ago. However, on the day of Clavo's arraignment, a confiscated missile is launched into the courthouse to aid his escape, with Alexx inside. This episode has the most glaring errors just to create the plot: Heavy crates are loaded on a truck with no security that they cannot move during the transport and weapons are carried to destruction with ammunition. In real life those weapons would have been made inoperable before the transportation and the crates would have been tied up within the compartment so that they cannot move during the transport. |
