Press Release:
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CSI HISTORY, ONE CHARACTER WILL APPEAR IN ALL THREE SERIES FOR A THREE PART CROSSOVER TRILOGY. CSI DR. RAY LANGSTON FOLLOWS THE EVIDENCE ON A CASE TO MIAMI, NEW YORK AND BACK TO LAS VEGAS

Laurence Fishburne Guest Stars in “CSI: Miami” and “CSI: NY,” and Wraps Up the Case at Home in Las Vegas on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”

Monday, Nov. 9 (10:00-11:00 PM)	CSI: MIAMI – Horatio Caine (David Caruso) calls Dr. Ray Langston (Laurence Fishburne) to come to Miami when a severed leg found in the Everglades is discovered to belong to a girl who went missing in Las Vegas a week earlier.
Wed., Nov. 11 (10:00-11:00 PM)	CSI: NEW YORK – Langston rushes to New York when Det. Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) and his team identify a woman hidden in a big rig following an accident as someone he interviewed in Miami related to his missing person’s case. Though the woman disappears after the accident, Langston and Mac discover they’re onto an interstate trucking ring that specializes in human cargo and black market organ harvesting. Scenes shot on location in New York City.
Thurs., Nov. 12 (9:00-10:00 PM)	CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION – Langston’s continued search for the young girl taken hostage as part of the human trafficking operation leads him to investigate a prostitution ring in Las Vegas that may harbor the missing woman.

Spoiler:
When a severed leg is discovered in the Everglades belonging to a girl who went missing from Las Vegas a week earlier, Horatio Caine (David Caruso) sends for Dr. Ray Langston (Laurence Fishburne).This launches a crossover that begins on “CSI: Miami,” moves to “CSI: NY” and finishes up in Las Vegas on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” making it the first time a “CSI” crossover has involved all three shows in the franchise.

“Everyone stays true to their writing style,” “CSI: NY” exec producer Pam Veasey tells ET. “What you fundamentally do is tell a ‘CSI’ story, which is what we all have in common. Once it gets to your show, you will see each of the show’s take a different approach to a story that starts in Miami. We did all get together and talk about what the through-line would be. Obviously, Ray Langston travels through all of the shows. You have to find the consistencies with his character, how he would flow into each story.”

Following Miami, Langston rushes to New York when Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) and his team identify a woman hidden in a big rig as someone Langston interviewed in Miami. Then the woman disappears and Taylor and Langston realize that they have uncovered an interstate trucking ring specializing in human cargo and black-market organ harvesting.

“The story is really a ticking clock story,” adds “CSI: NY” executive producer Peter Lenkov. “It is really a hunt for a suspect, but also saving a girl’s life. I think we put blinders on to get that done by the end of the episode. This [case] takes priority because it is real triage the way it lands in our lap. We realize soon after that time is of the essence. We elected in that episode to make it our sole focus.”

The search finally takes Langston back to Las Vegas, where the investigation leads to a prostitution ring that may be harboring the missing woman.
“They are all great episodes that blend together and lead you to the next,” Pam concludes.

The “CSI” crossover begins on “CSI: Miami” on Monday, Nov. 9 at 10 p.m., moves to “CSI: NY” Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 10 p.m., and wraps up on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” Thursday, Nov. 12 at 9 p.m. all on CBS. [Source: ET Online]

Spoiler:
CBS is planning a “CSI” extravaganza for November sweeps — star Laurence Fishburne (Dr. Raymond Langston) will appear in all three scene-of-the-crime shows in one week, and the whole thing wraps up on the flagship “CSI” on Nov. 12. Mild spoilers about the episodes follow.

Langston will first visit “CSI: Miami” on Nov. 9; he travels south in an episode titled “Bone Voyage” to investigate a case with ties to Las Vegas. Fishburne and “CSI: Miami” star David Caruso are pictured at left; perhaps Langston and Horatio Caine are talking about cool sunglasses, which Langston is still sporting when he arrives in New York on Nov. 11

In that “CSI: NY” episode, “Hammer Down,” according to CBS, “a big-rig accident results in the discovery of an interstate trucking ring that specializes in human cargo and black-market organ harvesting, and sets off a race against time to save a hostage.”

The three-part crossover concludes on Nov. 12 on “CSI.” In that episode, viewers will learn more about what Langston is investigating: “a nationwide human trafficking network that abducts young girls forces them into prostitution,” according to David Weddle, who penned the episode with his writing partner, Bradley Thompson.

Ubiquitious guest star Mark Sheppard, who played Romo Lampkin on “Battlestar Galactica” (a character who knew a thing or two about shades), has a guest role in that Nov. 12 “CSI” episode. Sheppard, who has a credit list as long as your arm and apparently by law must appear on every scripted show in existence, also appears on USA’s new show “White Collar” Oct. 23 and “Supernatural” on Nov. 19.

General Spoilers:

Spoiler:
CSI: Vegas’ Laurence Fishburne will work major overtime this season. The actor’s character Professor Ray Langston will crossover to both CSI: Miami and CSI: NY during November sweeps, studio confirms to TVGuideMagazine.com exclusively. The storyline will begin on Monday in Miami, continue on Wednesday in New York and wrap up the following day in Las Vegas.

This is the first time a crossover will involve all three of the CBS hit procedurals. The last crossover occurred in 2005 with CSI: Miami and CSI: NY, but the episode did not involve any of the characters from the original CSI. [Spoiler: TV Guide Magazine]

In dealing with Angel’s death, Flack has been a different character this season. How will his downward spiral play out on CSI: NY? — Clarisse

ADAM: Things are going to get worse before they get better. Executive producer Pam Veasey tells me that Flack will continue to fall until he hits emotional rock bottom. It’s only then that, with the help of friends and an unlikely ally, Flack will bounce back. [Source: TV Guide]

Got any scoop on the upcoming CSI: NY episodes that deal with the Compass Killer? — Jeremy

ADAM: Executive producer Pam Veasey tells me that the creation of the Compass Killer arc was about highlighting the show’s storied location. “We have the great, great privilege of being the New York show, and we thought all of this information is really worthy of more than one episode. So we created the Compass Killer… someone who is fascinated with this information.” Case in point: One upcoming episode deals with Manhattanhenge, a phenomenon in which the sun aligns with the city’s street grid.

Ausiello: I can’t, no.

He keeps this secret to himself for awhile.” [Source: EW]

I need scoop on CSI: NY’s Danny and Lindsay! — Meg

ADAM: Even though conventional TV wisdom suggests otherwise, executive producer Pam Veasey promises that this couple will remain rock-solid. “We’re not going to go the typical [route],” Veasey says. “They went through a lot to get together, and they will now go through things together. Something will happen — something has to happen in their lives. But it won’t be anything tragic.” [Source: TV Guide]
