Too Tough to Die is the sixteenth episode of the American crime drama which is set in Las Vegas, Nevada. It originally aired as Episode 16 of on March 1, 2001.

Plot

A woman is carjacked and sexually assaulted; Sara goes to the hospital to collect an SAE kit and finds the woman in a coma with two bullets in her brain, and no ID. As she collects evidence from the woman’s body, Sara promises her that she will find out who did this. Grissom and Nick process the crime scene and find bullet casings and a belt loop.

Sara intently searches the missing persons database for a match to her Jane Doe and identifies her as Pamela Adler. Grissom, concerned, warns Sara against getting too close to the victim and advises her to develop a hobby outside of law enforcement.

The bullet casings match a shooting in a gang neighborhood in North Vegas. Grissom and Nick allow scent dogs to smell the belt loop and let them search; the dogs lead them to Tony Thorpse, who is wearing a pair of jeans with a missing belt loop. Sara and Nick match the belt loop to Tony’s jeans. During questioning, Tony gloats that Pamela is not dead yet, and he is a juvenile, meaning the law is on his side. However, Brass assures him that if she dies within a year, he will be charged with murder.

Sara visits Pamela in the hospital to tell her that they caught Tony, and meets Tom, Pamela’s husband. He tells her that Pamela is going to live, and that she will be moved to a facility; Sara promises to visit her and hastily leaves, holding back tears. She returns to the lab and cries over a system that rewards suspects when the victim is too tough to die.

Catherine and Warrick inherit an open murder case from a dayshift CSI who quit the day before. Roy McCall claims that Chuckie Hastings attacked him with a screwdriver, forcing McCall to shoot in self-defense. However, Mrs. Hastings claims that McCall shot her husband in the back. Catherine and Warrick learn that the previous CSI who worked this case lost the screwdriver before it could be processed, and realize that he left before he could be fired.

The coroner’s report confirms that Hastings was shot in the back, but McCall also has a scar that proves he was attacked with a screwdriver. Catherine and Warrick find unburned gunpowder on Hastings' shirt and realize that he was shot at close range. They reenact the fight using dummies and realize that McCall did indeed shoot once in self-defense but then shot Hastings again as he lay on the ground.

Catherine learns that Eddie took out a second mortgage on the house they own together. He visits the lab to see her and they get into a physical altercation, which Grissom breaks up. This convinces Catherine that she needs to finalize her divorce.
