CBS has hired Quentin Tarantino to direct the season finale of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation." The episode will air on May 19th.

The story centers on a plot that finds one of the key members of the CSI team, led by Gil Grissom, in serious jeopardy. The script will be written by Carol Mendelsohn, Anthony Zuiker and Naren Shankar.

Mendelsohn said. "Quentin came in a couple of weeks ago. We had a story meeting with the writers. He had a great idea, and it was so much fun to have him in the room. ... We are positively giddy."
