When a well-known real estate developer is found in an elevator, the CSIs are called to investigate the murder. They realize that the crime scene has been tampered with -- the victim has been redressed -- which complicates the investigation. When the team learns that the cause of death was poisoning and that the man's organs have already been removed and donated, the crime becomes even harder to solve.

Gil: Where's the man?
(Grissom looks at the empty elevator. There are two cones on the floor ... and no body.)
Jim: Oh, he's unconscious, but breathing. So paramedics took him to Desert
Palm Hospital. There was no bullet wounds, no knife ... nothing.
Sara: You got a name?
Jim: Bob Fairmont. Upscale home developer.
Sara: "A Fairmont Home, You'll Never Roam?" Those billboards are everywhere.
Jim: Well, they took these pictures before they moved him.
(Brass hands Grissom a stack of photos. Grissom puts his kit down and looks through the photos.)
Gil: Well, this is as phony as a chappaquiddick neck brace. See how the clothes are all bunched.
Sara: Collar's off to the side, leg fabric's gathered.
Gil: It's impossible to redress an unconscious person to make it look like they dressed themselves. You notice anything about the suit coat?
(Grissom shows the photo to Brass. Brass takes it and looks at it.)
Jim: Well, unless he's going to court or to church, there's no way he buttons all three buttons.
(Brass gives the photo back to Grissom)
Gil: Very good, Jim. (to Sara) Why do they think they can fool us?
| Sara: I know... the room's talking to us. They had champagne.
(Sara walks into the room, Grissom remains by the door.)
Sara: They were celebrating something.
(She looks at the glasses.)
Sara: No lipstick on either glass. 9-1-1 did say it was a man's voice that placed the call.
Gil: Smell the musk? Hint of bleach?
(Grissom looks up at the mirror over the bed. He notices that the bed is mussed.)
Gil: Sexual intercourse.
(Sara turns around to look at Grissom.)
Sara: They kept the drapes open. A married man who's not worried about ... photographs, long lenses ...
Gil: Well, he's either careless or arrogant, maybe.
Sara: Or he has a death wish. (Sara looks down and picks up a bra.) 34 C? If he was with a woman, who was the guy on the 911 call?
| Gil: Brain dead at 38, otherwise healthy and strong. Is this a Frankenstein?
Al: I was wondering when you'd ask. Prime donor candidate. Next of kin signed off.
Gil: How many organs they take?
Al: Eight in under two hours.
Gil: Man, those harvest doctors move, don't they?
| Al: All may not be lost. Here... body of Robert Fairmont released at 0400 hours to the Desert Haven Mortuary.
Sara: I know that place.
Gil: Well, if they haven't embalmed him we can still get a blood sample test for heavy metal poisoning.
Sara: Good. I'll drive.
(Sara heads for the door. She turns around when she realizes that Grissom isn't moving.)
Sara: You're not coming?
Gil: (looks up) You found it, you run with it.
(Sara seems surprised.)
Gil: You can do it. Take Nick.
Sara: Okay.
(Sara leaves.)
(Sara looks in through the furnace window. Her face shows her shock and surprise.)
Sara: How long's he been in here?
Randy Gesek: 92 minutes at 1,600 degrees. At, exactly, was it that you wanted to see?
(Sara turns around to look at Randy Gesek.)
Nick: His fingernails.
Randy Gesek: I'm very sorry.
Nick: Who approved this cremation?
(Randy looks at his clipboard and sighs.)
Randy Gesek: His wife, Julia Fairmont.
Sara: Same person who approved the organ transplants.
| Sara: Most poisons would be completely burned off by cremation but heavy metals are very resistant to heat. This heavy metal -- selenium. Did you notice that your husband's breath might have been garlicky?
Julia Fairmont: Garlicky?
Sara: The body will excrete demethyl selenide -- smells just like garlic.
Julia Fairmont: Uh... no.
Sara: The white stripes on his fingernails--did you notice those?
Julia Fairmont: Um ... we didn't see each other a lot. Bob was busy building his company.
Sara: That bother you, him never being home?
(Julia Fairmont looks at Brass.)
Julia Fairmont: I think it would bother any woman.
Sara: Did you know that the most common choice of premeditated murder among women is poison? They cite its passivity.
Julia Fairmont: I did not poison my husband.
Sara: You cremated his body.
Julia Fairmont: He wanted to be cremated. I cremated him. He wanted to donate his organs. I did that, too. Now, if there's nothing else, I will be at home preparing for my husband's memorial service. Excuse me.
(Angry, Julia Fairmont grabs her jacket and stands up to leave. Sara stops her.)
Sara: Do you want us to notify you?
(Sara and Julia turn around to look at each other.)
Julia Fairmont: Of what?
(Sara stands up and walks toward Julia Fairmont.)
Sara: When we find out the exact amount of selenium given to your husband and over what period of time?
Julia Fairmont: I thought you couldn't tell.
Sara: Your husband's gone, but his organs are still out there.

An "Organ Grinder" used to be a type of street performer, usually one with an organ powered by a hand crank. The classic depiction of such "organ grinders" (called so because the crank looks like the handle on a meat/sausage grinder) is usually with a monkey on a chain running around collecting tips from observers in a tin cup. Such performers are now quite rare, usually existing only as novelty acts. In the context of this show, the title thus becomes a pun on the term and the relevance of peoples' organs to the plot, along with the notion of difficult, tedious work being a "grind".
