Detective Mac Taylor becomes a witness in a crime scene when a shooting occurs while he is having breakfast. A gunman opens fire, leaving a waitress critically injured and a man dead, and Mac having to choose whether to chase after the gunman or save the life of the young woman.
He lets the gunman get away to treat the young women but they soon find evidence and clues that link them to multiple suspects. The csi team are lucky to have Mac as not many of the other witnesses saw very much. He is able to tell them what he saw and in turn find out who might have been the shooter. One of thee suspects are then shot and this leaves them with more evidence.
The codes and conventions used in this episode are things such as montages, evidence, technical and medical terms, and different types of jobs such as detectives and paramedics.
You see multiple women characters but most of them are the victims whereas there is only one main female investigator and lots of men.
The main character in this episode is Mac Taylor played by Gary Sinise. He has been in movies such as ‘Apollo 13’, ‘Mission to mars’ and ‘Of mice and men.’ These all represent him as real mans man and this is also how his character is portrayed in this episode.
Over all this episode was fast paced, but not as glamorous as over csi's. You can relate more with theese chatacters as they are more like everyday people.
