CSI Files

Captain
With the November sweeps still in full swing, CBS will continue showing only new episodes of the three CSI shows next week. Recently, the networked issued its official press releases for next week's episodes.

First up on Monday at 10:00pm is the CSI: Miami episode "Nailed." CBS described the episode as follows:

<font color=yellow><blockquote>A woman, who was just about to sign her divorce papers, is found shot to death with a nail gun in her soon-to-be ex-husband's new home. Suspicion falls on her ex-husband and his new fiancée; however, when Det. Ryan Wolfe begins to follow the evidence, he is shot in the eye with a nail gun. Now, as one of their own lies wounded, the team must find out who killed the woman and who may have ended Wolfe's career as a CSI.

</font></blockquote>This episode was directed by <Font color=yellow>Karen Gaviola</font>, whose previous Miami work includes the 90-minute episode "Crime Wave" and last season's "Killer Date." The episode was written by <Font color=yellow>Barry O'Brien</font> and <Font color=yellow>Corey Miller</font>, who this season already cooperated on "Prey."

Below is the relatively short guest cast list for "Nailed:"

<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>Rex Linn</font> as Det. Frank Tripp[*]<font color=yellow>Wayne Wilderson</font> as Dr. Stern[*]<font color=yellow>Lisa Waltz</font> as Brenda Hall[*]<font color=yellow>Mark Dobies</font> as Karl Lampley[*]<font color=yellow>Stephen Caffrey</font> as Gary Hall[*]<font color=yellow>Mark L. Young</font> as Lucas Hall[*]<font color=yellow>Jennifer O'Dell</font> as Charlene Hartford[*]<font color=yellow>David Lee Smith</font> as Rick Stetler[*]<font color=yellow>Brendan Fehr</font> as Dan Cooper[*]<font color=yellow>Joel West</font> as Officer Aaron Jessop[*]<font color=yellow>Alana De La Garza</font> as Marisol Delko[*]<font color=yellow>Eva LaRue</font> as Natalia Boa Vista[/list]

Besides recurring actors Rex Linn, David Lee Smith, Brendan Fehr, and Joel West, only two other actors have a previous CSI connection. Wayne Wilderson may be familiar to you from his background role as parademic Kelso in half a dozen episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, while you may recognise Lisa Waltz from her guest role as Jean Kingsley in the fifth-season original CSI episode "Who Shot Sherlock?" Keep an eye out on Alana De La Garza, as her character Marisol Delko is also scheduled to appear in the next two episodes, making this a new recurring character.

The second new CSI episode airing this week will be CSI: New York's "Bad Beat," this Wednesday at 10:00pm. This is what you can expect from the episode:

<font color=yellow><blockquote>A friendly poker game turns deadly when the players realize one of their own is cheating, beat him mercilessly and kick him out of their apartment. When a knock on the door is followed by a shotgun blast that kills the host, Mac and Stella follow their only lead, the ejected player. Meanwhile, Danny and Dr. Hawkes investigate the murder of a local news station's weather girl and their search uncovers a tape she was desperately trying to hide.

</font></blockquote>Director <Font color=yellow>Duane Clark</font> most recently worked on CSI: Miami's "Blood In The Water,", and before that on the CSI: New York first-season finale, "What You See Is What You See." Screenwriter <Font color=yellow>Zachary Reiter</font> last year worked on New York episodes such as "Grand Master" and "The Dove Commission."

The following actors will be making a guest appearance on "Bad Beat:"

<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>Robert Joy</font> as Dr. Sid Hammerback[*]<font color=yellow>Lochlyn Munro</font> as Ethan Fallon[*]<font color=yellow>A.J. Buckley</font> as Adam Ross[*]<font color=yellow>Michael Gilio</font> as Kelly Lindgren[*]<font color=yellow>Melinda Page Hamilton</font> as Tara/Kayla[*]<font color=yellow>Heather McComb</font> as Heather Davison[*]<font color=yellow>Oliver Macready</font> as Scott[*]<font color=yellow>Adam Nelson</font> as James Moore[*]<font color=yellow>Tony Daly</font> as Joel Ivey[*]<font color=yellow>Agim Kaba</font> as Eddie Brunson[*]<font color=yellow>Dan Milder</font> as Mike Hanson[*]<font color=yellow>John Colella</font> as Robert Dulcet[*]<font color=yellow>Troy Blendell</font> as Leonard Curson[*]<font color=yellow>Jake O'Flaherty</font> as Curtis Walker[*]<font color=yellow>Gwen Holloway</font> as Helen[*]<font color=yellow>Erica Jones </font> as Moore's Daughter[/list]

In addition to recurring actor Robert Joy, five of the above actors have a previous CSI connection. First up, with this episode Lochlyn Munro joins the elusive club of actors who've appeared on all three CSI shows, as he played Officer Hal Watson in the first-season CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "Invisible Evidence," and then appeared as Rick Adams in the third-season Miami episode "Nothing To Lose." A.J. Buckley played Ted Martin on last season's original CSI instalment "Crow's Feet;" Melinda Page Hamilton was Julie Bryant in the second-season Miami episode "Slow Burn;" and Adam Nelson was Reed Collins in the second-season original CSI episode "Anatomy Of A Lye." Finally, Heather McComb is another three-CSI-actress: she was Ginny Taylor in the first-season Miami episode "A Horrible Mind," and Annabelle Frost last year in the original CSI's "Spark of Life."

On Thursday at 9:00pm, CBS will be airing the conclusion to last week's "A Bullet Runs Through It, Part One." This is the network's official summary for the episode:

<font color=yellow><blockquote>The CSIs sift through the overwhelming evidence from a shootout with drug dealers in order to determine who is responsible for the death of a police officer killed during the incident. When a wild police chase of drug smugglers through the streets of Las Vegas leaves an officer killed, the CSIs suspect that the cop killed in the line of duty was shot by one of his fellow officers.

</font></blockquote>While last week's episode was directed by <Font color=yellow>Danny Cannon,</font> this week's conclusion was helmed by <Font color=yellow>Ken Fink</font>, who has also worked on episodes such as last year's "Weeping Willows." The writing team for "Part Two" is still the same as for "Part One," and consists of <font color=yellow>Richard Catalani</font> and <font color=yellow>Carol Mendelsohn</font>.

Below is the guest cast list for "A Bullet Runs Through It, Part Two:"

<ul>[*]<font color=yellow>Louise Lombard</font> as Sophia Curtis[*]<font color=yellow>Alex Carter</font> as Detective Vartann[*]<font color=yellow>Wallace Langham</font> as Hodges[*]<font color=yellow>Marc Vann</font> as Conrad Ecklie[*]<font color=yellow>Gerald McCullouch</font> as Bobby Dawson[*]<font color=yellow>Nestor Serrano</font> as Detective Ortega[*]<font color=yellow>Jose Zuniga</font> as Detective Cavaliere[*]<font color=yellow>Brennan Elliott</font> as Sergeant Carroll[*]<font color=yellow>Colby French</font> as Office Davis[*]<font color=yellow>Steve Ryan</font> as Sergeant Adams[*]<font color=yellow>Daniel Bess</font> as Officer Bell[*]<font color=yellow>Scott DeFoe</font> as SWAT Commander[*]<font color=yellow>Conor O'Farrell</font> as Undersheriff McKeen[*]<font color=yellow>A Martinez</font> as Danilo[*]<font color=yellow>Sophia Santi</font> as Stuckey's Mother[*]<font color=yellow>Seth Michaels</font> as Stuckey's Brother[*]<font color=yellow>Bre Blair</font> as Tracy[*]<font color=yellow>Yennifer Behrens</font> as Bianca Guerro[*]<font color=yellow>Marco Rodriguez</font> as Carlos' Lawyer[*]<font color=yellow>Liz Vassey</font> as Wendy Simms[*]<font color=yellow>Larry Mitchell</font> as Officer Mitchell[*]<font color=yellow>Jose Pillado</font> as Carlos[*]<font color=yellow>Charley Rossman</font> as Officer Beltran[*]<font color=yellow>Bill Jacobson </font> as Uniform[/list]

Louise Lombard, Alex Carter, Wallace Langham, Marc Vann, Gerald McCullough, Jose Zuniga, Scott DeFoe, Conor O'Farrell, Liz Vassey, Larry Mitchell, Charley Rossman and Bill Jacobson will all be playing previously established characters, although you may have only seen the characters of the last several actors a few times before. None of the other actors have a previous CSI connection -- beyond, of course, appearing in last week's "A Bullet Runs Through It, Part One."

Besides the above three new episodes, CBS will also be airing a repeat of CSI: Miami's "Recoil" on Saturday at 9:00pm, as part of its CrimeTime Saturday block. In this third-season episode, shots are fired outside the courthouse after a bitter custody battle, and the CSIs must find the shooter. Bullets fly and the target is the little girl's mother. Horatio goes after the father, who he suspects may not be the girl's biological father after all. However, when the mother's shady past is uncovered, the team finds that she has a lot of enemies who would like to take a shot at her. Meanwhile, Calleigh's father returns to the crime lab for her guidance but for an unexpected reason.
