THE WATCHER

UPDATE: I’ve added another clip from “19 Down…” below.  If anyone had trouble accessing the first clip earlier today, that has been fixed.  Take a look now.

Time is running out for Gil Grissom. Below is an exclusive Tribune clip from the Dec. 11 episode of “CSI,” which marks the beginning of the end of Grissom’s tenure in the Las Vegas crime-scene investigation unit.

To set up the clip from “19 Down…,” I’ll have to talk a bit about what happens in the episode. Stop reading (and watching) here if you don’t want to know a few general things about the episode’s plot.

In the episode, Grissom (William Petersen) sits in on the class of Dr. Raymond Langston (Laurence Fishburne). In his class, Langston is interviewing a serial killer, Nathan Haskell (Bill Irwin), the so-called “Dick and Jane Killer,” who killed several couples before getting caught. Haskell is none to pleased by Grissom’s questions during the Q&A part of the class

By the way, before he heads to Langston’s class, a weary Grissom tells his team that he’s going to leave the CSI unit, and they have varied reactions to his announcement, to say the least.

UPDATE: Here’s a clip of Grissom informing the team of his coming departure in “19 Down…”:

The Dec. 11 episode is the start of a two-parter; “CSI” returns Jan. 15 with the conclusion of the unusually intricate “Dick and Jane” case. According to a CBS press release, Grissom offers Langston, who has been assisting with the case, a permanent position on the CSI team in the Jan. 15 episode.

In that episode of the CBS drama, “One to Go,” Grissom will leave the team for good (though Petersen hasn’t necessarily ruled out returning to “CSI” on occasion in the future).

I’ll have much more to say about “19 Down…,” which was written by executive producers Naren Shankar and Carol Mendelsohn, in a full review that will appear next week.

Suffice to say that it’s a darkly fascinating outing, one that explores the twisted mind of Haskell, who is played with chilling precision by Bill Irwin. In this episode, which, to me, partly evoked “Silence of the Lambs,” there’s quite a bit of skilled interplay among Petersen, Fishburne, Irwin and Paul Guilfoyle, who plays investigator Jim Brass.
