Catherine becomes personally invested in the case of the girl found murdered behind a comedy joint.As we’ve previously reported, the story begins with an arrogant and tacky comedian delivering his act at a comedy club. After his performance, while searching for his car in the parking lot, the comic is nearly run down by a speeding car. When he manages to jump away from its path, the vehicle backs up and a man rolls his window down to tell comedian what a great show he just had. When the comic finally gets to his own car, he is stunned and shocked to find a box containing the dead body of a young girl, lying as though resting in a coffin.Tune in to “A Thousand Days on Earth,” CSI’s second post-strike offering, tonight at 9.-Rosario Santiago, BuddyTV Staff ColumnistSource: CBS, Spoiler TVYou can click here for a clip titled Patron Saint of the Desperate from tonight’s CSI episode A Thousand Days on Earth (wmv, 640×368, 9.67 MB).
