Synopsis

A violent pack of teenagers start savagely beating tourists in Las Vegas, and one of the CSIs finds himself in danger.

Plot

A Hispanic man getting off work gets beaten to death in the parking structure of his job. Later in the night, a young woman is ambushed, but survives. A third crime scene is investigated at liquor store. Grissom sends Greg to the crime scene, but before he arrives at the scene, he finds a group of people beating someone up in an alley. Greg drives through the alley, beeping his horn and using his sirens to get the people to stop attacking. One man continues to beat the victim up. He grabs a rock, but instead of finishing off the victim with it, he goes after Greg. Making a split second decision, Greg hits the attacker with his car. Moments later, Greg is pulled from his car and beaten. At the hospital, Jim Brass interviews the victim, discovering he is a tourist. Grissom visits Greg, telling him that the victim would be okay, but the man he hit, Demetris, was in surgery. When Grissom asks Greg if he has told his parents, Greg tells Grissom that they think he is still in the lab. Greg mentions that his mom is going to freak, and Grissom tells him that she will be happy that Greg saved a man's life. Catherine interviews one of the people involved in the group beating people up. She tells Catherine that they were 'fannysmackin', which meant they were going around to beat up tourists. When another member, Tara, is arrested, Nick finds the her wallet and phone in the back of her car. Using a message written by Tara, the fannysmackin group is lured into a warehouse, where the police trap and arrest the attackers. Back at the hospital, Greg is thanked by the Stanley Tanner (the victim he saved) who shakes Greg's hand and thanks him for saving his life. After Tanner is wheeled out, a mournful wail comes from the room next door. Greg watches as Demetrius James' mother sobs over Demetrius' lifeless body. Demetrius' brother, Aaron, glares helplessly at Greg.
