La Rue Makes A Daring Escape On ‘Miami’

Eva La Rue (Natalia Boa Vista) offers some information about this week’s episode and the rest of CSI: Miami’s ninth season. (Spoilers after the jump!)

As CSI Files previously reported, Natalia will be kidnapped by an escaped killer in “About Face”. “He’s hoping to convince her that he was framed, and that he really is innocent,” the actress told TV Line. She added that he chooses Natalia for a reason. “One of the things he says to her is he’s read a lot about me and feels like I will be open to listening to his plea. He feels like I was his best choice to convince somebody that he was innocent. But I think if somebody else had been available, he would have kidnapped them as well. It’s really not so much Natalia as who was easiest to kidnap—and that seemed to be me.”

La Rue was really tied up for one scene. “They let the camera roll while I was seriously duct-taped and zip-tied to the bottom of the van,” she revealed. “And with varying degrees of success I escaped… or didn’t. They didn’t [bind me] lightly, so I was really chewing through the duct tape.”

Later this season, the team will work a case involving a “co-ed found dead in a hot tub”, and that episode “involves a split personality”, La Rue shared. She also said there’s an episode “where Horatio is involved in the crash of a small plane.” However, those episodes pale in comparison to the season nine finale. “We just wrapped it, and it’s awesome,” La Rue said. “There are two team members down at the end of the episode, which makes for a really good cliffhanger.”
