"Tabling the ax." "Hammer time." "Um..." "Pretty close." "All right, I fed the measurements from the claw end of the hammer." "Something doesn't seem right about this." "Why would you use the claw end of the hammer to kill him and not the hammer end?" "Wait a minute." "Maybe it wasn't about hitting him in the head." "Maybe it was about fitting him in the locker." "So the footlocker had no headroom." "Exactly." "So, uh, Tricky Nick what did you get on your evaluation?" "It's private." "Yeah, but how many "outstandings"" "did Grissom give you?" "Enough." "What did he tell you to look for?" "Grissom didn't tell me anything." "I put this together myself." "Give me some light here, will you, partner?" "Yeah." "All right, it's like this:" "sock prints were found at the crime scene: size 11." "Shoes Grissom took from the closet here: size 11." "DaSilva's shoe size: ten." "So whose size 11's were they?" "Grissom missed something." "( sighs )" "SIDLE:" ""Spur's Corral."" "I know that place." "They give you peanuts for starters instead of bread or chips and salsa." "I'm calling Grissom." "Look, you obviously don't need my help." "I-I got go put something to rest." "See you later?" "All right." "Thanks." "The body from the storage shed-- it's Victor DaSilva, all right." "We ran his prints." "It's nice that he still had his hands." "I was wrong about the cause of death." "The hammer didn't do it?" "No." "He was shot point-blank in the heart." ".380." "Imagine the human heart as an apple." "Instant liquefaction." "We found everything else in that shed." "I don't know why we didn't find a gun." "Well, maybe he was shot somewhere else." "That would explain the plastic." "What plastic?" "You never told me about any plastic." "I didn't?" "Oh." "The victim was wrapped in a plastic sheet." "Victor DaSilva's entire house was covered in plastic." "He was having it painted." "Really?" "Who's the painter?" "Nobody famous." "Yet." "You had access to Victor DaSilva's house?" "Yeah, I was painting it." "You own a gun?" "I don't mean a paint gun." "No." "Okay, let's get right to it." "What's your shoe size?" "Why?" "I have a shoe fetish." "I love feet." "It's 13." "Take off your shoes and socks." "We need to verify." "Okay... step on the paper." "Two sizes too big." "You can go." "I'd tell you not to step on the evidence, but, uh..." "Yeah, but what's the point?" "Pretty good gimmick they got here, though." "You eat peanuts, toss the shells on the floor-- nobody gives a rat's ass." "STOKES:" "You sure you can't help me out?" "No." "Victor DaSilva never worked here." "We found one of your uniforms in his closet." "Any idea how it got there?" "Guys..." "Look, boss, I'm sorry." "I thought I was onto something here." "I had a conflict in shoe sizes so I thought I'd play a hunch." "Sara was right there." "We were checking out the shoes... ( Nick continues talking in background ) ...so that's why I buzzed you guys down." "You got to follow your hunches, right?" "Yeah, sure." "Tim, you still got that picture that you took from DaSilva's house?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Here it is." "What?" "You're looking at the sombrero?" "The earrings." "Victor DaSilva was here with someone he cut out of his life." "Probably his girlfriend." "Excuse me." "You recognize this ear?" "You got to be kidding me." "Wait a minute." "Yeah, I do." "I do recognize those earrings." "BRASS:" "Fred Applewhite?" "Y'all here for lunch?" "No." "Takeout." "I heard you were disassembling the gorilla." "For purposes of disease control." "Per the CDC, I have to take samples and dispose of this animal immediately." "Well, I've been trying to find out who did this to her and, um, I have some questions." "You ask, I'll answer." "Why did they amputate the gorilla's head?" "It's a trophy." "American fetishists would pay up to $10,000 for the head of a Lowland Gorilla." "The hands and feet?" "Novelty items." "Sold as ashtrays." "Here Nick and I were thinking it was to avoid I.D." "Why skin it?" "Purses, shoes, boots..." "it's sad." "Genetically we're 92.7% identical with gorillas." "It's hard to tell where the human ends and the animal begins." "Well said." "I checked out a couple of websites..." "Bushmeat.net, Gorilla.org." "I think she was killed probably in Cameroon or Congo transported to the Port of Los Angeles." "Dismembered, packaged... loaded onto a small plane." "En route, they dumped what they couldn't sell but, uh, I just have to find the plane." "Needle in a haystack." "Chances are, whoever did this are halfway around the world by now." "There has to be something I can do." "Actually, there is." "For every one that parts, one stands aboveground." "Okay, Mr. Applewhite... take a walk." "Okay, great." "Now, Mr. Applewhite... this time, I want you to do something different." "This time... run." "GRISSOM:" "Footprints are almost as reliable as fingerprints and every step tells a story." "The first few steps, you were walking." "See the complete heel, arch and five little piggies?" "The next few steps, however... the heel disappears." "All of the pressure is put on ball of the foot and toes." "Why?" "'Cause you were running." "And my guess is that, on the day you had a head in your hand." "STOKES:" "You see, everyone's foot makes a unique well impression." "Check it out." "The, uh width..." "ball of the foot... instep... arch..." "and, uh... size 11 for dessert." "GRISSOM:" "Mr. Applewhite your footprints... place you at the crime scene." "Victor and I were partners." "We shared everything including in our house and the storage shed." "We know that." "When did you move out?" "Three months ago." "He found somebody else... kicked me out." "And you took all your possessions with you?" "Not everything." "So, you were hoping for a reconciliation." "Yeah." "I thought, once Victor got this new guy out of his system he'd come around." "But he didn't, did he?" "That's why you went to his house last night." "Who said I went there?" "The plastic." "You know... the plastic that you lay down when you paint a house." "The kind of plastic that you, uh... wrap a dead body in." "The plastic that we that we found your fingerprints on." "Let me tell you what I think happened." "Take what you want." "I don't care." "I've moved on." "What do you think you're going to do, just paint me out of your life?" "Just take what you want and get out." "I'll tell you what I want." "Damn it!" "God!" "So, what did you forget?" "You wouldn't believe it, but I forgot to lock the shed." "BRASS:" "And when you came back out your car was gone." "Yeah." "I don't know who took it." "We do." "Wait, Lori!" "You know, that reminds me" "I got to remember to take Greg Sanders to lunch." "He did a nice job sniffing out those peanuts." "Yeah, he did." "We were waiting for you." "Meet Ronnie Connors." "Where's his attorney?" "What you talking to him about my business?" "Ask me." "Where's your lawyer?" "Ask him." "How's your plaque?" "My what?" "Your teeth." "I mean, how many toothbrushes does a guy need?" "Apparently, for you it's as many as it takes to make the perfect shank." "Let me tell you something, breeze." "I'm L.A. County/Slauson payback Crip, cuz." "I got a lot of offspring up in here-- black as night." "They answer to me because I'm the macaroni." "I mean, seriously... you have any idea who you talking to?" "Yeah." "So I don't have to testify?" "The evidence will testify for you." "Ronnie Connors..." "bought a toothbrush and some rubber bands at the commissary." "He didn't know it but that's the last shank he'll ever make." "How'd you know it was RC's?" "Before he made the shank he shaved with the same razor." "His DNA was all over the blade." "Oh, God." "I owe you, man." "It's not me you have to thank." "I love you, Grandpa." "You're all I got, James." "You're everything to me, you hear?" "I thought you said we were grabbing a beer." "We are, after this." "Grissom, you know, this is your thing." "Ah-ah-ah." "Every nine years and 34 days" "I feel like sharing." "You'll like it." "It cleanses you." "Cleanses me?"
