呢個係咪咩大會嚟㗎？細細粒人大會。每年佢哋都會從世界各地嚟到一個指定城市——社交、建立人脈。呢個係佢哋嘅舞會、奧運會同除夕夜三合一。哦，喂。唔該借借。我唔係咁諗喎，方下巴。SIDLE：Grissom，你點知㗎？我收到通訊。
BRASS：Lawrence Ames，鳳凰城嘅服裝銷售員。佢35歲，4呎5吋高。係其中一個……大會搞手發現佢。佢當時檢查緊舞台。聽日有時裝騷，如果你有興趣嘅話。佢抬頭就見到佢。SIDLE：條友喺公眾地方自殺。佢想表達啲嘢。自殺？呢個係合理懷疑。STOKES：任何殘疾群體嘅自殺率都高過平均。矮人唔代表佢係殘疾，Nick。只係代表佢……矮啫。

（模糊對話）
似乎輪到我哋。
呢啲疤痕係舊嘅。話我知呢個唔係骨骼延長手術。大概係佢十幾歲嗰陣做嘅。手術針插入骨骼，連接到外部螺絲。扭螺絲，就會裂開骨頭。成骨細胞湧入。骨痂形成填補空隙。骨折癒合，骨骼變長。每四到六個鐘就要打斷骨頭一次，每次四分之一毫米。痛到死……為咗多幾吋。人為咗正常可以忍受幾多嘢。「凡人真係蠢。」嗯。咁，吊死？至少。死因係勒頸導致窒息。幫我手。耳後嘅瘀傷係吊死嘅特徵。呢個瘀傷唔係。呢個係咩？鈍器？睇下呢個。
死前第一同第二節脊椎分離。佢癱瘓咗？呢個只會發生喺有假性軟骨發育不全嘅矮人身上。生理結構會導致頸椎不穩定。所以做呢件事嘅人可能對矮人解剖有啲認識。

影像係由呢啲組成。
There's a theory in art that the Mona Lisa was really a feminized version of Leonardo da Vinci himself. Concept suggests... deep down, we're all narcissists? Yeah. What attracts us the most is ourselves.
Scale to match the original picture of Danielle.
SIDLE: Danielle is a virtual woman created to attract and lure Lawrence Ames... away from his fiancée, maybe? BRASS: Boy, do I have good timing, or what? I did a little checking with the phone company. In the past year, Lawrence Ames received over 200 calls from Melanie Grace. The same woman that found him dead. He got call-blocking against her two months ago. Well, that's interesting. That's the same time Danielle started sending him instant messages.
Yes, I called Lawrence. We met in a chat room. He also called me. Did you look at my phone records? He eventually blocked your calls. The same week he got engaged to Jessica Marcus. GRISSOM: It was at that time he began receiving messages from... a perfect woman... ...who doesn't really exist.
You think that I would do that? Present myself to a man as anything other than who I am? If it would break up his new engagement.
So what happened? You went to the convention, you saw him with his tall girlfriend, and you go to Plan B?
You think I'm capable of that? Killing because a woman has some height on me? Pretending to be an ideal... If you think that... then I was wrong about you.
( indistinct announcement )
( whirring )
Hey. Do you mind, little man? I'm trying to work here. Really? Yeah. You making any progress, CSI man?
Some. Uh-huh. Are we getting your A-game or your B-game? Come again? You see, us little people, we're used to getting the short end of the stick. ( chuckles ) You don't get to laugh at that.
What I want to know is, are you treating this like a case or like a joke? Well, a man was killed; that's no joke.
You got my A-game. Yeah? Yeah. Carry on.
This is very, very nice. It's very easy to articulate. It comes in several different colors. You will enjoy this very, very much.
Uh... Grissom. There's, uh... something weird going on with the hairs from the ropes. Well, not weird. More like... hair-raising.
Sorry. Bad one. Um... okay, at first I thought that maybe I was doing something wrong-- running too many DNA samples, you know? Seeing things. Greg? ( exhales ) Uh... the dwarf hair has seven alleles in common with Jessica Marcus's skin cells.
The two donors are related? Profiles say so. ( cell phone ringing ) Grissom. STOKES: He looked like he fit your profile, so I asked around. Two little people confirmed he has C.H.H. Okay, thank you. Yeah. 100% nylon-- it's very, very, very easy on the hands. Oh, yes, yes. Sure. Anytime. Mm-hmm. Kevin Marcus?
Buying or browsing? Maybe a little bit of both. Rope for makeshift banisters, huh? That rag rope... cuts the hands. Now, you feel this nylon. Go ahead, feel that. I do trade shows, mail order... I even sold to this convention. So what, do you, uh, buy from wholesalers and then repackage in your home? Yeah, Chicago. BRASS: Well, that explains how your daughter's skin cells got all over the rope that hung Lawrence Ames. Your daughter's name is Jessica, right? BRASS: The lab also found your hair all over that rope. Well, I touch all the merchandise. Nice try, Kev. The hair was caught in the noose.
Did you know your father killed Lawrence? That's what they told me, but I couldn't believe it. I still can't. So you created Danielle to break up your daughter's engagement. That's an interesting theory.
What? You guys trace an online account to my credit card or something like that? Oh, no, wait. Um.... I use a free ISP. That means no name, no trail, no case.
Mr. Marcus, in your business you deal with proportions, correct? You provide little people with what they need to compensate for their proportions, and to live with them. You know what little people aspire to be. Your, uh... logo is interesting. Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.
In the perfect human form, arm span equals height.
You're very aware of what, uh... people are looking for in a mate, aren't you? The night before he died, Lawrence and I had a fight about Danielle. Are you still in contact with her? She emails or I.M.'s. I don't answer. I love you. You're cheating on me!
And I ran out of the hotel, and I went to my dad. I was crying, and he told me to leave Lawrence, but I couldn't because... I... I loved him. And I'm having his baby. And I went back to our room and we made up.
And the next night... he said he was going out to meet a friend.
I'll be back in an hour, babe.
And he never came back.
So what did you have against the guy? What are you, blind? He was a dwarf. My wife and I-- our daughter-- a genetic miracle. One-in-four shot she'd be an average. And she was a beautiful average. So your wife is also a dwarf. Yeah. Jessica didn't have to fight the world every day, like we did. We freed her from all that. But that little bastard kept dragging her right back down into it. So you killed him. I said I didn't like the guy. I didn't kill anybody.
( exhales deeply ) Can we prove it? Not yet. The rope was anchored to the lighting truss, which was at least five feet over his head. So? Well, he can barely lift his arms above his shoulders. He suffers from lumbar lordosis-- swayback-- which is typical of C.H.H., and it limits his mobility even more. Hey, the guy put a rope around the victim's neck. Yeah, but how did he hang him?
Listen, Catherine, me and Warrick can handle this.
I'm going in. Well, the guy assaulted you. You don't have to put yourself through this, you know. I don't, I'll be scared of the next guy and the one after that.
Shoe tread, denim fiber, a lot of cooking grease. Based on that evidence, they all did it. All right, so we take them one by one. Transfer works both ways.
( unzipping ) Warrick?
Blow your nose. I don't gotta.
( blowing )
Guess.
( blowing )
I don't think so. Then I guess I'll just have to look for myself. You want to look at my boogers, lady, go ahead. Hey!
Nose hairs... are nature's filter. Traps all kinds of things. Dust, dirt... ...fingerprint powder. ( exhales ) You did it. ( grunting ) You inhaled the fingerprint dust I was using. We went up there to party 'cause the boss was out of town, and I saw the Z-Mover first, but Teddy... Teddy... Sweet. Z-Mover. I saw it first. What? I saw it first. It's mine. I saw it first. I called it.
I didn't mean to kill him. It was an accident. I mean, I... Get up. I didn't mean... You all right? Yeah. NICK: Hey, did you get anything else off that laptop? No. A bunch of the files were corrupted. Archie's taking another run at them. ( sighs )
The victim was paralyzed-- couldn't fight back. Kevin Marcus puts the rope around his neck, makes a slipknot. And ties off the other end on the truss even though there is no way he could have reached it. No way he could've reached it.
Nick, what are you doing? Changing my perspective. ( groans ): Oh, man. Can you imagine going through life at this height? They do okay. If the world doesn't adapt itself to you, you... Adapt yourself to it.
Where's Grissom? ( patrons talking )
Grissom?
We know how he did it. BRASS: Your wheelchair was in the booth at the convention. The fibers from the seat cover to your wheelchair match the fibers we found on the victim. Uh... faux-- fake sheepskin.
We also know how you got Mr. Ames into the theater. Our lab retrieved a final instant message to Lawrence from Danielle.
Mr. Marcus, what are you doing here?
It's enough to convict you.
GRISSOM: May I ask a question? How did you get him into the wheelchair?
Well... I appealed to his vanity.
I told him I needed a brochure model to sell my new chair. You don't want me near your daughter, but you want me to hawk your chairs? I never said you weren't handsome. I mean, come on-- your face, your build-- a million chairs: "Sold." Great. Come on. Hop in. Hop in. Let me see you in there. Come on. Model for me.
There you go. Wait, let me make an adjustment for you here.
I paralyzed him.
I couldn't let Jessica marry him.
Any kid they have... a 50% chance it would be a dwarf. You have to understand that.
( sighs ) It's genetics.
Mr. Marcus, I think you should know... your daughter is already pregnant by Lawrence Ames.
You know what's really sad? This wasn't just a murder. It was a hate crime. Kevin Marcus hated himself.
