What Season 5 of CSI: Miami

Season 5 of CSI: Miami opens with Horatio Caine and Eric Delko traveling to Brazil to secure the extradition of Antonio Riaz, whom Miami wants. The crime lab stays busy in the city with a wide range of cases: a biker gang trafficking in weapons, a jewelry heist at a party for the rich and famous, and the shady business of the fashion world. Some crimes bear the mark of Santería, and others involve foreign gangs. Clavo Cruz, the international mastermind behind the theft of weapons from a government truck, becomes Horatio's top priority. Calleigh Duquesne and the rest of the team gather evidence at every scene.
