'CSI' Crosses Over With 'Without A Trace'

Without a Trace star Anthony LaPaglia (Jack Malone) heads to Las Vegas.

According to CSI Files sources, "Who and What" begins in the living room of a house downtown. It is night, and Kim Davis is playing Yahtzee with a ten-year-old boy. The boy seems slightly out-of-place, as if he does not belong here. He is not excited when he wins the game, and Kim gives up, handing him the television remote and leaving him to do whatever he wants.

Kim goes into the bathroom and draws a bath. She lights some candles and then lights a joint, inhaling the smoke from the marijuana before she gets into the bathtub. She relaxes in the water as the room begins to shake around her and a high-pitched whistle can be heard in the background. Train tracks run behind the house, and Kim is able to tune out a train as it roars by--she is clearly used to the noise. As the train continues to pass by, the shaking rattles the bathroom door. The latch comes open. Kim thinks that the boy might have opened the door, but he doesn't enter. It must have opened on its own.

Kim is buzzing from the marijuana, and she somehow finds the situation funny as she stares at the door, sitting partially open as the train barrels down the tracks behind the house. Then a hand appears through the crack in the door. It isn't the boy. It's a man's hand, pushing the door open farther. When the hand pulls back, it leaves a bloody handprint behind on the door. Kim does not even have the chance to scream before the man rushes into the room and drags her out of the tub. The room continues to shake from the train as he beats her viciously with an object in his hand.

Grissom's team must solve the double murder in the house, and things become more complicated when Jack Malone shows up at the lab. Malone heads the Missing Persons Squad of the FBI in New York City. He has come from New York to Las Vegas in pursuit of a missing boy. The dead child in Grissom's case is not the one he is looking for, but Malone is sure that the cases are connected. Not only that, but there is more to the story: the suspect in their cases, it turns out, is a serial killer.
