'Snakes' photo - courtesy CBS.com, copyright CBSNick has a slithery case on his hands in this Thursday's episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the first footage of which was recently made available on the Internet.

Entitled "Snakes", the episode deals with the murder of a investigative journalist who was writing an inside story on the world of Mexican drug culture. As the CSIs proceed with their investigation, they discover that the circumstances of the journalist's death are eerily reminiscent of a narcocorrido, or Mexican drug ballad.

The 20-second promo is available for download from CBS.com. For those of you with slower connections, here's a transcript:

Why can't the CSIs get dates?
All work and no play makes Greg a blue boy.
It probably has something to do with the fact that every time Horatio Caine has sex with a woman, she dies.
Shower sex loses its allure when there's lemons involved.
These people collect body fluids for a living. Then again, if David the coroner can get laid...
They can get dates, I bet. We just don't see it.
Three words: Hank the Skank.
