Edit Episode Summary
As a huge tsunami heads directly towards Miami, a
ten-hour warning gives citizens just enough time to
evacuate the city. In the chaos, two people are killed
in a parking lot and the evidence leads Horatio to
discover a plot to rob a bank timed to take advantage of
the evacuation. However, as the CSIs close in on the
robbery already in progress, they find that it's a more
elaborate crime than they previously thought. In the
wake of the storm, Ryan and Alexx discover a body washed
up from a local cemetery that may have a different cause
of death than originally recorded. Meanwhile, Horatio
suspects that Yelina is being physically abused by her
boyfriend, IAB's Rick Stetler.
