![]() Tying up loose ends and framing the dead driver for the murders. Greg and Reed figure out Conservo murdered the driver too. Meanwhile Greg phones to say he has found the Conservo truck used in the murders complete with blood stains and gun inside and dead driver. From a piece of fabric they find on a fence they figure out that Burns hopped the fence to get to the evap pool to get a sample for proof, someone saw him, drowned him in it and then dumped him in the springs. Nick and Ray head over to look at the trucks, which may have been used in the murders, and Ray asks after the evaporation pool. They finally break him and make him give them a warrant to search the place. The sheriff says he'll call the health department but still doesn't want to do more to the execs at Conservo Solutions. Some of the chemicals in the process go to an evaporation pool and the rest, if saftey protocol isn't followed, goes into the aquifer, i.e. Ray discovers that "fracking" is a way to obtain natural gas from shale rock. Catherine takes the news to the sheriff and says they need to warn the people of Cable Springs if the water is contaminated. Hodges reports to Robbins all the horrible stuff in the water that Ray and Nick collected from the well. She says she's missing one piece of her story and asks him to look up "fracking" and to give him a call. She says Conservo killed Gibson and Burns because they figured out what was going on. Ray talks to the reporter off the record for background. They realize this is what's making everyone sick. The water contains methane and who knows what else. Ray turns on the well faucet and puts a torch on it and lights afire. The man dies and Ray and Nick try to figure out what's up with the explosive water. To prove his point he drops his cigarette down his water well and it explodes in a ball of fire, engulfing him and throwing the CSIs and Reed back. He's mad that nobody cared about their problems before and says Walter was going to turn up proof that Conservo was poisoning everyone. That money only covered one round of his wife's chemo. He explains that Conservo Solutions came to town offering money for mining rights, in his case $50,000 but their operations contaminated the water which is making everyone sick. It turns out he just shot his goat, which was also sick. When they hear a shot fired they pull their weapons. There they find another local rancher, an elderly black man. An examination of the goat's head- also riddled with pre-cancerous lesions- leads Nick, Ray, and Detective Frankie Reed to another farm out in Cable Springs. The wife shows Nick a goat's head that she received, Godfather-style, the day before her husband's murder. Adams' wife doesn't want to talk about what her husband was talking to the pushy reporter about because she signed a non-disclosure agreement with the local gas mining company Conservo Solutions where Adams worked. Adams had ties to the reporter and to Walter. The next day the investigation turns up another dead body Richard Adams, found by Greg, Nick, and an assist from Detective Frankie Reed. She won't tell Brass and Ray what they talked about - she's working on a big story- but does tell them to look into Walter's wife also being sick. Something of a loner who lived on a farm, whose wife died last year, had final and constant contact with a reporter with a small local newspaper. Not in the sulfur springs it turns out, however, as the water from his windpipe is different from the water in the springs. ![]() The dude, Walter Burns, they discover upon autopsy was riddled with cancerous lesions but died of drowning. ![]() Three teens go skinny dipping in a sulfur spring and discover a dead man as they frolic.
