13	!!Horatio Caine
14	--> '''Played By:''' Creator/DavidCaruso
15	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/s5_017.jpg]]
16	* AbusiveParents: His father was an abusive man who killed his mother in front of him. A young Caine killed him in an attempt to save her, but he was too late.
17	%%* AtonementDetective
18	%%* CoolShades: And how!
19	%%* DeathGlare: While PerpSweating.
20	* DeadpanSnarker: Considering how he is the king of QuipToBlack, he ''definitely'' qualifies.
21	%%* DramaticPause
22	* CartwrightCurse / FatalAttractor: He has notoriously bad luck with girlfriends. They always seem to die.
23	* CharacterTic: Turning his body to a side while looking at someone.
24	* {{Flanderization}}: He used to have moments when he would [[DullSurprise actually emote]].
25	* FriendToAllChildren: Caine is quite the example of HardBoiledDetective... but not to kids. Kids always bring out his soft side. [[PapaWolf And woe betide anyone who hurts a child near him.]]
26	* GlassesPull: Caine's main gimmick, always followed by a QuipToBlack and the ''''YEAAAAAAAHHHH--'''' sample.
27	* GoodIsNotSoft: His response to being told an adult film director suspected of murdering one of his stars has two daughters is a great example.
28	-->"Would they be appearing in your movies when they're older? Just out of interest."
29	* HardBoiledDetective: Though he's technically on the force, fits this trope to a T.
30	* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Seems to be going this way after his near-death experience. He is noticeably more vicious and ruthless, savagely beating a suspect and even letting a man fall to his death as he begged for Horatio to help him. Granted, one man had killed a police officer and was involved in a kidnapping, and the other man was a pedophile with a ''long'' history of abducting and molesting young female beauty pageant contestants, but ''still''.
31	-->'''Pedophile:''' ''[while hanging onto a ledge]'' I can change - I know it!\
32	'''Horatio:''' I doubt that.\
33	'''Pedophile:''' ''[His fingers starting to slip]'' You have to help me!\
34	'''Horatio:''' ''[Coldly and dispassionately, while stepping away from the man]'' Do I?\
35	'''Pedophile:''' ''[Falls to his death]''
36	* LukeYouAreMyFather: He has a son he didn't know about.
37	* OneLinerNameOneLiner: Making a drinking game out of the amount of times Caine does this in the show is just asking for alcohol poisoning.
38	* PapaWolf: Hurting kids is a gigantic no-no around Caine. To provide three examples: an ArcVillain that is a murderous pedophile ends up getting a MurderByInaction by Caine, a man who kidnaps a little girl gets ''thrown through a window'' when Caine interrogates him on her whereabouts and a man who brutalizes his family ends up [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown with the absolute shit pummeled out of him by Caine]] inside of an interrogation room [[OffscreenKarma after the episode cut to credits]].
39	%%* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Just about every line out of his mouth.
40	* RabidCop: Of the CSI leader bunch (Grissom and Taylor et al) Caine is the closest to this trope, with many cases ending with him pulling a ClickHello StealthHiBye, shooting, beating up, or plain threatening suspects. David Caruso's gravel voice helps plenty.
41	* RedBaron: The dude is so badass, his friends and coworkers often times just refer to him by his initial, H.
42	%%* TheStoic
43	%%* ShootTheHostage: Mostly averted.
44	* StealthHiBye: Master of Stealth Hi. Quite often appears out of nowhere; the audience doesn't even see him approaching.
45	* TeamDad: Refuses to let anyone - especially Rick Stetler from Internal Affairs - mess with his subordinates.

52
53	%%* CombatStilettos
54	* MsFanservice: She's prone to wearing extremely tight pants and four-inch heels (due to Procter being the shortest cast member at 5'2), which almost always comes with the camera panning back to [[LegFocus show her legs]]. She is the only other cast member apart from Horatio to appear on UK DVD set covers, likely for this reason.
55	* SouthernFriedGenius: Blonde, gorgeous Southern belle - who knows more about ballistics than the rest of the team combined.

63
64	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Speed, very rarely ever Tim or Speedle.
65	* {{Jerkass}}: Definitely has his moments, usually when speaking to women. He tells one victim of harassment that it was her fault, and that she'd led the guy on (she hadn't), and is rude to other female characters (excepting Alexx, Megan, Calleigh and Yelena).
66	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Speed is shot and killed halfway through the Season 3 premiere by security guards at a jewelry store when his gun jams thanks to negligent keeping.]]
67	* TemptingFate: When walking into a jewelry store with Horatio, Speed discusses expensive cars, disdaining them in favor of his bike. Caine mentions that he might need "something with doors" some day. Speed says he has plenty of time. [[spoiler:He is fatally shot not five minutes later.]]

81	* MysteriousParent: [[spoiler:His biological father is a very dangerous Cuban gangster.]]
82	* PutOnABus: To be on ''Series/UglyBetty''. Returned when it got cancelled.
83	* RevengeBeforeReason: During one case, he and Tripp escort a suspect to the lab: he is a football rising star who woke up next to a dead girl and tried to flee. He admits it was wrong to run, but swears also he is innocent and that he did what he did because he panicked. As they approach the CSI office, many reporters are waiting outside the building, so he begs them not to expose him to the media so blatantly, as it would ruin his image and career for nothing. Eric and Tripp, however, do not believe his version, and the former declares that his attempt to escape is proof of his guilt, so from now on everything is on him, and he needs to know that. [[spoiler:Too bad the boy eventually turns out to be innocent, but by then his football career is already in serious jeopardy thanks to what Eric and Tripp have done. And worst of all? [[NeverMyFault Neither of them is shown to be remorseful for acting completely inappropriately]] (although it is suspicious, to run away from police is not proof of guilt) and ruining a boy's life, all because they were clouded by prejudice]].

90
91	* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Holds a massive torch for Boa Vista for most of the series, but she doesn't reciprocate his feelings.
92	%%* DeadpanSnarker
93	* EagerRookie: When he first joined the lab, he was intent on proving himself to Horatio as much as possible. This results in him having a tendency to be competitive against his co-workers, which rubs them off in the wrong way for a while.
94	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Occasionally. He's usually called on it, though. Even so, he's proven to be a very capable cop, and extremely compassionate when he needs to be.
95	* LastNameBasis: Horatio calls everyone else by their first names. Ryan, tho, is always "Mr. Wolfe."
96	%%* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Speed.

After getting to know and befriend all of the [=CSIs=] and seeing them all as the good cops and even better people that they are, reveals her status to Horatio, and sides with her friends, quitting her job at the FBI, and becoming a CSI herself.

126	* MyNaymeIs: Spelled with one too many x's.
127	* PutOnABus: Alexx leaves the morgue in Season 6 to become an ER doctor. She's occasionally appeared since then, usually when one of the team have been injured in the line of duty. She returns for a few appearances past that.
128	* TeamMom: Mostly to the unfortunate victims who arrive in the morgue, but she's also the most compassionate and sympathetic team member, always willing to lend an ear/support her colleagues.

138	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: She replaces Alexx Woods as TheCoroner of the team in season 7, and is very similar in appearance to her.
139	* PutOnABus: Gets arrested for stealing drugs from the morgue (mostly due to her character being seen as a ReplacementScrappy).

158
159	* AdvertisedExtra: She featured prominently in ads and was supposed to co-star as a protagonist along with Caine, but the character gets PutOnABus after 10 episodes in season 1 due to Kim Delaney allegedly not having any chemistry with David Caruso.
160	* TheMourningAfter: Her detective husband died on duty and she never quite got over his death. The series starts with her coming back after a six-month leave, but she quits 10 episodes later, telling Caine working there reminds her too much of her dead husband.

179	* FakeGuestStar: Despite being the new ME and Alexx and Tara's permanent replacement, a role that's usually given main credit casting, he's only ever cast as a guest star.
180	* IKnowMaddenKombat: One episode reveals he's an ace tennis player, and the knowledge is used in helping to solve a case.

189
190	* ActionGirl: She's introduced as a lab tech, but was an ace marksman in the academy which earns her a promotion as a detective where she can work in the field.
191	* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:She ends up killing her boyfriend Josh by [[GrievousBottleyHarm hitting him with a bottle]] while [[KillingInSelfDefense he's attacking her.]] But she fails to be a SympatheticMurderer when she leaves an injured Ryan behind to take the blame.]]
192	* AffectionateNickname: Calls Walter "Teddy Bear".
193	* BadassInDistress: She's kidnapped by [[spoiler: the drug dealer working for Josh and Vogel in the last episode, who [[HostageSituation uses her as a getaway driver at knifepoint]]. But she manages to escape the situation mostly by herself by driving off a bridge, as the ensuing crash kills the dealer, but leaves her wounded.]]
194	* ChronicEvidenceRetentionSyndrome: [[spoiler:She's exposed as Josh's killer in the end because Ryan finds a piece of glass stuck to her boots after the car crash. Meaning she has been wearing the same boots she had the night of the crime for several days and didn't even think to clean them up.]]
195	* DudeMagnet: Walter, Eric, and Ryan are all shown to be attracted to her.
196	* FrameUp: She ends up being framed of tampering with evidence by [[spoiler:her boyfriend Josh under the orders of Vogel who wants to discredit Caine's CSI team.]]
197	** And then attempts to pull one of her own when she [[spoiler:murders Josh, albeit InSelfDefense, and leaves Wolf, whom he'd just worked over, to take the blame for it]], sending any sympathy that might have been had for her flying out the window.
198	* FakeGuestStar: Despite appearing in over half of Season 12 and receiving major focus, she is only credited as a guest star.
199	* HeadTurningBeauty: Both Eric and Ryan take notice of her good looks.
200	* IdiotBall: While Sam could possibly be forgiven for accidentally running evidence, her response to being framed for evidence tampering smacks of this. She confronts her boyfriend about it, putting herself in danger, and ends up having to shoot him in self-defense. Had she just called 911/Caine and explained herself, she might have been found justified since he had just badly beaten Ryan. If she had just left it alone in the first place as Horatio ordered her to, the lab would have eventually uncovered the truth and possibly cleared her of any wrongdoing. Instead, she flees the scene, leaving Ryan to potentially take the blame. On top of that, she doesn't even bother to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking change shoes]], which is what ultimately gets her caught. The bottom line, she completely forgets that she's surrounded by an entire lab full of highly trained, experienced forensics experts.
201	* LoveTriangle: At first she looks to be in the center of one between Eric and Ryan. But when Eric steps down, and she and Ryan get a lot of UnresolvedSexualTension while working together, it's revealed she already has a boyfriend.
202	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Her reaction when Wolfe calls her out for basically framing him for her boyfriend's murder is to start profusely apologizing. While she seems sincere in her remorse, Wolfe clearly isn't [[RejectedApology having it]].
203	* OldFriend: She and Walter became friends back when they were working the night shift together.
204	* ResignedInDisgrace: Narrowly {{Averted\|Trope}}. After Sam accidentally ruins a vital piece of evidence by accident, she gets majorly chewed out by Boa Vista who basically orders her to quit. Sam almost does, but a pep-talk from Walter encourages her to stay and try to redeem herself by trying to find evidence another way, which she does.
205	** [[spoiler: Likely played straight in the series finale. It isn't shown whether she's given the choice to resign or is simply stripped of her badge and duties after being arrested for murder and attempting to frame Wolf. Given that Horatio's patience with her for jeopardizing the entire lab had already worn thin, it's probably the latter]].
206	* SixthRangerTraitor: She's a new member of Caine's CSI team added in the final season and [[spoiler:ends up being the last murderer they catch when she kills her boyfriend and leaves Ryan to take the blame.]]
207	* WhatTheHellHero: Boa Vista rips her a new one for ruining a crucial piece of evidence and all but tells her to quit. She later does it to Sam again, thinking she had willingly tampered with evidence to protect her boyfriend although that was a FrameUp. Wolfe, the only one who defended her to the end, later gets his chance at this after Sam [[spoiler: murders her boyfriend in self-defense but leaves Wolf, who had just been beaten into unconsciousness, to take the blame]].
