Anthony E. Zuiker says, 'CSI Alert. This is the first time CSI was ranked number 1 in the Neilson ratings. The year, 2001. It stars Captain Jim Brass's daughter Ellie (Nicki Aycox). Her relationship with her father is strained due to Brass being a Captain and Ellie a prostitute. The dialogue from Brass cuts a bit deeper in this show. 'Sometimes I hear your voice... even when you're not there' reflects a deeper pain about me not seeing my own kids due to being on CSI full time.' Air Date: Dec 6, 2001
