Whether it's burying someone alive or having a shoot-out in the lab ... CSI is famous for its frenetic finales . When season 11 comes to a close , though , exec producer Carol Mendelsohn has something different in mind . This time "it's going to be emotionaally explosive ." Those internal fireworks start sparking in the next to last episode on may 5 , when the team travels to Los Angeles to follow a tip that a serial killer Nate Haskell (Bill Irwin ) is up to his old tricks , says Mendelsohn , "They'll find evidence that will call into question whether or not Nate Haskell is Nate Haskell . They'll uncover who hi is and how he was c reated ." Ever since replacing Grissom (William Petersen) on the CSI team , Ray Langston (Laurence Fishburne ) has been on a collision course with Haskell , and in the season finale , he'll finally taken matters into his own hands . Mendelsohn won't say what exactly those hands do to his nemesis , but she does add that Langston's decision leaves the whole team at odds with each other ."The finale won't end with a clean slate . It'll be a cliff-hanger , but more for the team in terms of their relationalship and dealing with the aftermath of what Langston does.
