CBS Wednesday premiered the spectacle-filled trailer for this week's new CSI: New York episode "Blood, Sweat & Tears," in which Mac and the rest of the team take a trip to the circus.

At the start of the episode, a 16-year-old contortionist is found dead and stuffed into a small box washed ashore on a Coney Island beach. Mac and Stella then go to question the victim’s family and their rivals -- trapeze artists who compete for attention as the circus’ main act. Meanwhile, a large pool of blood in a New York apartment leads Danny and Det. Flack to a dead woman disposed of in the building’s trash chute.

The 30-second promo video for the episode can now be downloaded from CBS.com. For those of you on dial-up, here's a transcript of the trailer:

WEDNESDAY ON A NEW CSI: NEW YORK

[A black and somewhat overweight swimmer tries to dig something out of the beach sand.]

[He clears the object: it's a trunk.]

THE NEXT CASE

[Stella talks with Mac.]

Stella: "This guy had no defense wounds."

[A contortionist is doing things with his body that would send normal people straight to the emergency room.]

WILL BE A THREE-RING CIRCUS

[An elephant trumpets while a glamourous handler rides on his back.]

[Acrobats soar through the air.]

[The circus show is in full progress: we see fire breathers, jugglers, and an elephant.]

LITERALLY

[With all the spotlights on him, a contortionist balances on one leg while he places the other in his neck.]

[Back at the CSI department, Stella looks amused.]

Stella: "Yeah, you got that right."

IT'S THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH

[The camera pans across the audience and ends on a clown.]

[As the crowd goes wild, the ringmaster extends his arms.]

[Overhead view of the ring, where a fire spews a plume of orange flame.]

[A young girl flies through the air, held by another trapeze artist - but then he lets go of one of her hands.]
