CBS Releases 'Rain' Promo

[CSI Files]

Even though CBS replaced the final minutes of last Wednesday's CSI: New York with an Arafat telecast, it still managed to return to CSI in time for the preview of next week's episode, "Rain."

In the episode, a Chinatown robbery by three men goes south when one security guard is killed and the other mistakenly fires shots at a gas tank, burning two of the robbers alive. While investigating the heist, Stella uncovers a kidnapping plot involving the bank’s manager. Also, the team must find new clues when the kidnappers' ransom drop spot is blocked by an unannounced police terrorist response drill.

The trailer can now be streamed from the official CBS web site. For those of you with slower connections, here's a transcript:
