Which two-part CSI episode was directed by Quentin Tarantino?

“Grave Danger” is the two-part CSI episode directed by Quentin Tarantino.

The episode serves as the Season 5 finale and centers on Nick Stokes after he is kidnapped and buried alive in a transparent coffin. The rest of the team races to locate him, turning the installment into one of the series’ most unusually tense and cinematic cases.

Tarantino directed the episode and also supplied its story, while Anthony E. Zuiker, Carol Mendelsohn, and Naren Shankar received teleplay credit. It aired on May 19, 2005, as the 24th and 25th episodes of the season. The story’s visual intensity and nonlinear structure reflect recognizable Tarantino influences.

The title is sometimes confused with other CSI episodes involving dolls, Warrick, or serial investigations. “Living Doll,” “For Warrick,” and “Built to Kill” are separate installments. “Grave Danger” is the Tarantino-directed two-parter, and Tarantino received an Emmy nomination for directing it.
