Calleigh and Ryan get a DNA match off a jacket in a trashcan at the scene to Tanner Wilcox, the man fleeing the scene of the rooftop shooting, but he proves to be a dead end when they learn he was there stealing from cars, not shooting at the CSIs. Natalia is surprised to discover an uncut diamond in Clavo's wake. He shoots Cruz and escapes, and the general dies in Horatio's arms.
His hunch proves right when they go to Cruz's house, but Clavo is already there. Tripp tells Horatio that General Cruz is in town, and Horatio suspects Clavo has broken out of jail to exact revenge on the man he thought was his father. She admits to helping Clavo escape, and Horatio tells her that she'll be charged with murder if Delko dies. She tells Horatio Clavo kidnapped her, but Natalia identifies a wound on her body as being from a hacksaw used to remove Clavo's cuffs. Horatio uses the GPS tracker in the money he gave Clavo to track him down, but he finds the tracker abandoned on the beach-along with Kathy Gibson. He tells them he recalls passing a man running down the stairs of the parking garage. Calleigh and Ryan process the scene where Delko was shot, and question a security guard named Keeler who arrived late on the scene. Picking up where "No Man's Land" left off, doctors are able to resuscitate Eric Delko, who barely clings to life after being shot twice, once in the leg and once in the head. The investigation reveals Cruz may be involved with selling illegal African diamonds. The woman was abducted by Clavo Cruz, who escaped from prison.
In the aftermath of the ambush at the car park, Delko finds himself fighting for his life after being shot in the head.
