A Sad Story
Hitchcoc24 February 2021
A little Korean boy witnesses a double shooting. He is a sad case because he is HIV positive and on experimental medication. It is tearing his body apart. But this episode is more about a community (Korea Town) in Las Vegas that lives in fear of police and outsiders. Well presented story with no winners.

In Las Vegas' Koreatown

Warning: Spoilers
During a party in a square in Koreatown, there are five gunshots and, in the end, a man and a woman are found dead on the ground. LAVP and CSI investigate the crime, but there is no witness. Soon the man is identified as Sung Bang, who has just been released from prison, and Grissom finds a boy's sunglass on the floor. Dr. Robbins finds that the shots are from two different weapons, and Catherine and Riley find that Sung was arrested for two DUIs only. When Brass retrieves a footage from a department store, they learns that the boy is Sung's nephew Park Bang, and the woman is the boy's mother, Kora Sil, and soon they find that Kora and Park are HIV positive. When Nick and Riley find the boy in a neighbor's house, the CSIs begin the process to discover what happened in the square.

"Say Uncle" is a sad episode of "CSI", with the story of an abused boy HIV positive. The plot takes place in Las Vegas' Koreatown, with people that have that own code of honor, and the work of the detectives and CSIs is more difficult since nobody points finger for what happened. The conclusion is also very sad. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Say Uncle"

Is this still CSI?
interestingstuff19 March 2022
This episode doesn't even have any actual CSI work in it. What happened to collecting evidence, analyzing evidence and finding suspects using scientific methods? In this episode you don't see any of that. All you see is them interviewing a sick kid trying to find the killer. This show isn't even CSI anymore.

Also the entire episode happens in slow motion, extremely predictable and easily forgettable.
