"CSI Miami" - "Kill Switch" (5.23) Quiz

Answer: Television reporter

At the beginning of this episode, Ryan Wolfe was seen using his CSI knowledge in his new job as a television reporter. After the carjacking of a young woman was captured by a security camera, it eventually made its way to a local news station, where Ryan was working. Viewers soon saw Ryan sitting opposite another television reporter, using his "forensic background" to tell the news station's viewers "about the scene of the crime".

Answer: True

Not long after Ryan used his CSI knowledge to identify a carjacker live on air, at a local Miami news station, the man in question was found dead. As Horatio approached the scene, he expressed surprise at the amount of people nearby. This prompted Tripp to comment that everybody was "clamouring to sneak a peek at Public Enemy Number One".

He also added that it looked like "vigilantes took it upon themselves to be judge and jury".

Answer: Calleigh

Calleigh said this to Alexx at the very beginning of this episode, on arriving at the scene of the carjacker's murder. As she walked towards the body, she observed a large crowd of people, all seeming to be enjoying themselves. Many of them were engaged in relaxed conversation, and some were even smiling and giggling as the CSIs got to work. Calleigh's words prompted Alexx to respond with, "It's easier when decomp's at a distance, believe me".

Answer: False

It was actually Calleigh, and not Natalia, who visited Ryan at his new place of work. On arriving, an angry Calleigh told Ryan that he "may have gotten a man killed today", prompting the latter to respond with, "I didn't think it would go that far". Unwilling to let him off lightly, Calleigh then retorted with "Well that seems to be a pattern with you." Indeed the more Ryan tried to defend his actions, the more Calleigh listed his failings.

She reminded him that he had "assaulted a police officer", "leaked information to Erica", and "burned the counterfeit money and promised not to bet".

Answer: The names and numbers of individuals who had made death threats against the victim

After Calleigh's angry tirade, Ryan called her back in order to give her the "names and numbers" of individuals who had phoned the news station to make death threats against the carjacker. Appearing remorseful and worn-out, Ryan added, "Hopefully, one of them is your guy".

Answer: True

The first person to be arrested on suspicion of killing carjacker, Jason Billings, was actually innocent of the crime. Nevertheless, he did confess to murdering the man, claiming that he "did to him what he did to that poor girl, with a little interest". Clearly a vigilante, he urged Horatio to "step outside the badge a second. You gotta admit, the streets are safer without this guy on 'em." However the evidence later revealed that the man could not have murdered Jason Billings, as he was proven to have died before his face was revealed on the news.

Answer: His leg got caught in a trap

When Ryan and his cameraman arrived at the beach to follow up on the carjacker's murder, they found that Natalia and Calleigh were also there. The cameraman wanted to get closer to them, in order to get a "decent close-up", but Ryan insisted that they stay back.

Informing the cameraman that he was not shooting the women, Ryan went on to state that they did not "get to interfere with a murder investigation". Moments later, however, Ryan was forced to draw Natalia and Calleigh's attention, after his cameraman stepped on a trap.

Answer: Drugs

When Natalia and Calleigh went to investigate the trap which had injured Ryan's cameraman, they discovered an extensive stash of drugs buried in the sand. The drugs were "wrapped in banana leaves to protect from moisture", prompting Natalia to state that "Jason Billings was in deep".

She then added that "If you bury something you don't draw attention to it by setting a trap". Calleigh then responded with "You do if you intend to kill the person who's following you."

Answer: Eric told Ryan to wear a visitor's pass

When Ryan visited Eric at the lab, he was upset when his friend told him to wear a visitor's pass. Clearly uncomfortable, Ryan asked if he was serious, prompting Eric to respond with "Yeah, I'm serious". Ryan was then seen clipping his visitor's pass to his suit, before muttering, "This is so strange".

Answer: Horatio

At the end of this episode, Ryan quit his job as a television reporter. From there he went to meet Horatio, which is when he came out with the above quotation. In response, Horatio replied that the team were not going to abandon him either. However, he did warn Ryan that everything he had done in the past was likely to "come under close scrutiny".
