CSI: Vegas season 1 episode 4, titled "Long Pig," starts off with the team investigating a shocking discovery: a human arm found among animal remains. The team quickly surmises that this is no coincidence and that someone is involved in illegal butchering and selling of human flesh.
The investigation leads to a website that specializes in cannibalism fetishization, where buyers and sellers meet to arrange for the purchase and delivery of human remains. Gil Grissom, the team's leader played by William Petersen, leads the charge to identify the person behind the website.
Meanwhile, the team is also dealing with a personal crisis as Grissom's ex-wife, Sara Sidle (Jorja Fox), joins the team, causing some friction among the team members. The episode delves into their complicated history and how it affects their working relationship.
As the investigation progresses, the team discovers that the human remains belong to a missing graduate student who was researching the illegal wildlife trade. Further digging reveals a network of poachers and smugglers who are involved not only in the illegal trade but also the illegal harvesting and selling of human flesh.
The team's quest for justice takes them from the seedy underworld of the black market to a high-end restaurant, where they find that the illegal sale of human meat has found its way onto the menu. The episode explores the horrifying reality of the demand for this taboo food and the lengths to which people will go to satisfy their cravings.
As the team unravels the layers of this gruesome crime, they eventually identify the mastermind behind the illegal enterprise, but not before some serious twist and turns in the plot that will keep viewers on their toes until the very end.
Overall, "Long Pig" is a gripping episode that explores a disturbing aspect of the human psyche. Despite dealing with a difficult and taboo topic, the show handles it with sensitivity and care, never letting the shock value overpower the storytelling. CSI: Vegas continues to deliver quality entertainment with intricate stories and multidimensional characters, making it one of the most anticipated shows of the year.
