In a ritzy Las Vegas gated community, Mike and Laurel Tessler get ready to leave for work. She gets the car started and he grabs the morning paper. Suddenly, they are set upon by two figures, who shoot them execution style. It's up to Grissom and Catherine to get to the bottom of the puzzling double murder in the upcoming CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "Early Rollout."

CSI Files sources revealed the details for the fifteenth CSI episode of the season. The CSIs are all laboring on the high-profile case. Mike Tessler was the owner of some of the ritziest clubs in Las Vegas.

Brass interviews Rosa Cerna, the Tesslers' housekeeper, who found the bodies. She tells them the gated community is always guarded, and that anyone who doesn't live there has to be on a list to gain entrance. While Brass talks to Rosa, Warrick and Catherine lift prints off the alarm, and Nick, Sara, and Grissom examine the crime scene.

Catherine decides to go to one of Mike Tessler's clubs, Sandman's. There she meets the handsome Sebastian Taylor, the club's manager. They go to his office to talk, where Catherine finds herself susceptible to Sebastian's good looks and charming demeanor. He tells her about the animosity between Tessler and his former business partner Kyle Goode. The two were involved in a heated lawsuit that was never resolved.

Catherine also talks to the bartender, Jake Owens, an aspiring pornography star. He resented Tessler because Tessler refused to help him break into the business. Kyle Goode also seems like a likely suspect, but he has an airtight alibi...
