Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) gets a cell phone call from a man filled with guilt and anguish. The man says a murder of a teenager took place several years ago and the body is under an end zone of the New York Giants stadium. By the time Mac and Det. Don Flack (Eddie Cahill) get to the man's location, he has killed himself with a gunshot to the head.
Once the man's phone is traced to an owner in New Jersey, Mac notifies the CSI team there. The leader is not too impressed by what could be an "urban legend." Mac tells him the rest of the story and says he will be the first to apologize if the digging was for naught.
Not only is a skeleton found, but a gun as well. Dr. Sheldon Hawkes (Harper Hill), newly arriving on the scene, mentions the death looks like an execution. Although the items are seriously decayed, they are taken back to the lab for testing.
When Dr. Sid Hammerback (Robert Joy), the medical examiner, looks at the body, and sees some sort of faint marking on his back. Using a microwave, Sid is able to raise the lettering — "Tanglewood."
Anyone who is a fan of this show knows exactly what that word means. It is a gang which has potential ties to the Mob. They are a particularly nasty group of characters who always seem to stay one step ahead of the law. While it is easy to arrest them, keeping them in prison has been next to impossible. Could they be going away for good this time?
Mac finds Det. Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo) who grew up where the Tanglewood gang hung out. He knows better than anybody how dangerous they can be. Even though they approached him about joining, he said no and ended up on the enforcement side of the law. Mac suggests Danny stay well away from the case, and Danny is only too happy to agree.
With one sentence, I saw Danny grow up. He isn't always good at following orders, even if Mac is the one issuing them. After a confusing display of gunfire a while back, an undercover cop ended up dead in "On the Job." Danny just might have been the one who shot him. Mac told him to sit tight and not to talk to Internal Affairs, the department's police watchdogs. Danny got tired of waiting and talked to them anyway. Mac was not happy, and told Danny any evidence clearing his name might have been compromised.

My problem was that viewers were not able to see what Stella was looking at. That promo works almost too well-I can tell exzactly what is going on without having to watch. And the grittiness and intensity also makes me think twice.
