The fourth season of CSI: Miami premiered on CBS on September 19, 2005 and ended May 22, 2006. The series stars David Caruso and Emily Procter.
Description
With a mole in their midst, Horatio and Calleigh head a team of elite Crime Scene Investigators as they enter their most challenging season yet. Under the roof of a state-of-the-art redesigned crime lab, the dynamic duo investigate a series of crimes including a night-club murder, the death of a pool boy, a cold case rape, and a murder with a double-jeopardy clause, all whilst under the scrutiny of an anonymous mole, and facing a series of cases that threaten the team. With Alexx accused of murdering a child molester, Horatio accused of murdering an innocent woman, Wolfe facing the loss of his eye, and Mac Taylor joining the team when a prisoner transfer goes awry, it's ultimately Delko who faces the greatest loss: his sister who was to marry Horatio is gunned down by the Mala Noche gang in an attack that will begin a narrative recurring throughout the next several seasons.
The team must find the connection between the two crime scenes: the killing of a drug dealer and the rape of an affluent family's housekeeper who happens to be pregnant.
The CSI's must investigate the dark side of Miami's nightclub scene when a teenage tourist goes missing. Sara Jennings was on her way to the Bahamas via Miami for a class trip when a wild night of partying, drinking and sex got out of control. Now, the CSI's must discover who she was with and what happened that night in order to find her. Meanwhile, Horatio's past in New York City resurfaces when an old unsolved case lands on his desk.
Three suburban housewives on a girls' weekend in Miami are the prime suspects when the hotel's handsome pool boy is found murdered. When Horatio is tipped off that his team is facing a surprise efficiency review, he must trust Calleigh, Eric, and Ryan to work together to find the killer. However, when they independently follow the evidence, each discovers that their analysis points to a different killer.
The CSI's must race against time when all evidence in a murder case points to Horatio. When a murdered woman is discovered, Horatio admits that he was seeing her and that he was the last person to see her alive. Although the evidence logically points to Horatio as the killer, the CSI's must now dig deeper to find the real killer and learn who would have the motive and the method to frame him.
A convicted serial killer escapes after sabotaging an airplane that was flying him from New York to Miami, where he allegedly buried a body. After fleeing the crash site, the man goes on a killing spree and abducts a college student. Mac Taylor arrives in Miami to help Horatio and the team track the killer, since Mac originally arrested the man in New York.
The CSIs are called out to investigate the murder of a young woman who was about to sign her divorce papers. Soon, the husband turns out to be the ideal suspect. The only strange thing about the case is the murder weapon: a nailgun. However, things become personal for the team when Ryan is attacked.
Eric finds himself in the middle of a robbery while at the bank. The team soon learns that the bank robbery is part of a video game called "Urban Hellraisers" being played out in real life. To stop them, Ryan must play the game and figure out the robbers' next move before another crime happens.
A drug lord is gunned in his Coconut Grove mansion and a suspect arrested at the scene claims he sells marijuana to Delko. Rick Stetler, from Internal Affairs, investigates and the case quickly becomes personal when Horatio gets involved. Calleigh makes a major decision concerning her job.
