Gil finds a third miniature crime-scene replica at a murder site, and CSI tries to find a link between the three otherwise-unrelated murders. Meanwhile, Grissom and Catherine find a man (played by Matt Malloy) caught from the waist down in cement, besides a woman who was stabbed to death. Even after a long search it only makes sense after he tells his story, confirming his bitter uttering that his whole life is incredibly unlucky.
