Trivia:

One of the drug lords calls Don Flack "Serpico" over the radio. Serpico (1973) is a film based on the true story of a New York cop who fought back against corruption in the department.

Goofs:

Factual errors: When the bad guys torch one sprinkler head the entire system shouldn't go off. Each head has a fusible element so that each head can apply water only to the hot spots. The master alarm is set off by the drop in water pressure not the sprinkler head itself.

Quotes:

Adam Ross: [Don Flack is about to shoot two masked men whose hands are duct taped to a gun. He doesn't realize that they are cops] No no no! Don't shoot them! Don't, they're cops, see... they're cops... do you see them?

Great Suspense Makes For Memorable Season Finale

The writers of these CSI shows usually end their seasons on dramatic notes, with either a two-or-three-part story or something that will leave you hanging and draw you back the next year. Well, they didn't hang us up wondering what will happen nor was it a two-parter, but it WAS a great season finale. It probably was the best episode of the season, at least to me. It couldn't have had more suspense!

This episode was loaded with suspense almost from the start. In a nutshell, a big bust goes down involving Irish mobsters and a big shipment of cocaine. The crooks who escaped make an elaborate and effective plan to get it back from the CSI and invade their building under disguise as firemen.

Meanwhile, back at the original crime bust scene - a warehouse - Danny and Adam are taken hostage by gang members still there. They are beaten up pretty bad.

So, the episode revolves around Mac, Stella and Sheldon defending the CSI lab and the two hostages doing what they can to stay alive....all very dramatic stuff.
