1
00:00:01,213 --> 00:00:04,444
7:30 right now.
Coming up, a recap of a disturbing story...
2
00:00:04,533 --> 00:00:07,843
Skeletal remains discovered
by a group of students...
3
00:00:07,933 --> 00:00:10,401
The remains
have not been identified.
4
00:00:10,493 --> 00:00:13,371
There's no word
as to whether foul play is suspected.
5
00:00:13,453 --> 00:00:17,844
Dale, the word most repeated
by the young witnesses we spoke to: horror,
6
00:00:17,933 --> 00:00:20,572
as in "it looked like a horror movie".
7
00:00:20,653 --> 00:00:23,929
Now we're going to go to another break.
8
00:00:24,013 --> 00:00:29,929
I hate press cases. More than three cameras
show, some detective kicks it to his captain
9
00:00:30,013 --> 00:00:32,402
who kicks it up to the chief and to the FBI.
10
00:00:32,493 --> 00:00:35,769
And you, bang, kick it down to me.
Which I thank you for, sir.
11
00:00:35,853 --> 00:00:38,845
I want this closed.
I don't want to pick up Sunday's Post
12
00:00:38,933 --> 00:00:43,529
and read, "Church kids find mystery corpse
dressed for Halloween, FBI clueless."
13
00:00:43,613 --> 00:00:47,492
I guarantee you won't read that, sir.
OK, I'm on it. Bones.
14
00:00:47,573 --> 00:00:50,041
- I got here as soon as I could.
- Yeah, great.
15
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:54,604
- I pull you from anything important?
- A 9,600-year-old Caucasoid female skeleton.
16
00:00:54,693 --> 00:00:57,082
It was found in the Kunlun mountains
in China.
17
00:00:57,173 --> 00:01:01,086
An investigation is under way.
I'm contributing stress-marker analysis.
18
00:01:01,173 --> 00:01:05,564
I think you're gonna find this
very interesting too.
19
00:01:10,893 --> 00:01:12,042
Ooh.
20
00:01:12,133 --> 00:01:14,044
What the hell is he wearing?
21
00:01:14,133 --> 00:01:17,409
It's lightweight. Composite.
22
00:01:17,493 --> 00:01:21,805
Some kind of sexual bondage suit.
And there's that bag. That's full of maggots.
23
00:01:21,893 --> 00:01:26,842
That looks like cellulose in there, degraded
from bodily tissues and decomposing fat.
24
00:01:26,933 --> 00:01:28,969
And maggots.
25
00:01:31,053 --> 00:01:35,012
Tibial fractures and ground disturbance
suggest total body impact.
26
00:01:35,093 --> 00:01:39,245
- OK, so did he jump or was he pushed?
- That's what we have to figure out.
27
00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:43,884
We can take the skeleton in.
Give you a report maybe after next week.
28
00:01:43,973 --> 00:01:49,764
No. Just tell me if I'm looking at a murder.
Maybe, you know, pull a quick ID?
29
00:01:49,853 --> 00:01:55,769
- Don't use your charm smile on me.
- What? It's a mark of respect, that's all.
30
00:01:56,573 --> 00:01:59,451
Epiphyseal union
with the diaphysis on the ankles
31
00:01:59,533 --> 00:02:02,923
suggests the victim
was between 14 and 18 years old.
32
00:02:03,013 --> 00:02:07,529
1.6m tall, of very slight build, suggesting
he was at the younger end of the scale.
33
00:02:07,613 --> 00:02:11,447
That tracks with the bag.
The cellulose we found is a graphic novel.
34
00:02:11,533 --> 00:02:13,444
- A what?
- It's a comic book.
35
00:02:13,533 --> 00:02:15,125
I never read comic books.
36
00:02:15,213 --> 00:02:18,364
Really? I had you pegged
for a graphic novel nut.
37
00:02:18,453 --> 00:02:21,923
The face and cranial vault are badly fractured.
38
00:02:22,013 --> 00:02:26,291
Blows have sent fracture lines between
the mid-frontal and anterior buttresses.
39
00:02:26,373 --> 00:02:28,762
- Why?
- Star Wars, Star Trek,
40
00:02:28,853 --> 00:02:30,844
Stargate, Battlestar Galactica.
41
00:02:30,933 --> 00:02:33,242
Focusing, gentlemen.
42
00:02:33,333 --> 00:02:35,528
Conclusion, a brutal assault killed him.
43
00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:39,322
He was dropped after he was already dead.
44
00:02:39,413 --> 00:02:43,008
His killer wanted it to look like a suicide.
45
00:02:44,933 --> 00:02:47,891
Get his dentals into the NCIC,
see if we can find a match.
46
00:02:47,973 --> 00:02:50,203
Zack, call Stockholm and Beijing.
47
00:02:50,293 --> 00:02:54,047
Our research data on the other thing
is going to be delayed.
48
00:02:54,493 --> 00:02:58,486
- It's Warren Granger, age 17.
- 17. Small for his age.
49
00:02:58,573 --> 00:03:01,041
Home-schooled. GED obtained last summer.
50
00:03:01,133 --> 00:03:06,844
Mother and stepfather reported him missing
from this very block two months ago.
51
00:03:06,933 --> 00:03:12,485
Bones, if you want to sit this part out, I know
you got some ancient Chinese bones waiting.
52
00:03:12,573 --> 00:03:14,768
No. I'm on this now.
53
00:03:21,493 --> 00:03:23,961
It looks like every other house.
54
00:03:24,053 --> 00:03:27,841
Every family has its secrets, Bones.
55
00:03:30,493 --> 00:03:33,087
This was Warren's room.
56
00:03:34,373 --> 00:03:37,524
No one's has been up here
since the detective looked it over.
57
00:03:37,613 --> 00:03:40,685
The news said there was
hardly anything left of him.
58
00:03:44,013 --> 00:03:48,882
Can you think of anyone who might've
wanted to harm Warren in any way?
59
00:03:48,973 --> 00:03:53,489
He was always by himself.
No friends, no enemies.
60
00:03:53,933 --> 00:03:58,245
Spent all his time up here
with his comic books and toys.
61
00:03:58,333 --> 00:04:02,531
He was a lonely kid.
Died before he even had a life.
62
00:04:02,613 --> 00:04:05,366
I really thought he had just run away.
63
00:04:10,773 --> 00:04:12,570
We tried.
64
00:04:12,653 --> 00:04:17,124
Tried to get him out of this place
into some kind of real life.
65
00:04:17,213 --> 00:04:19,886
I even got him a job at the bowling alley,
66
00:04:19,973 --> 00:04:21,725
but...
67
00:04:21,813 --> 00:04:25,601
he just spent all his money on this... stuff.
68
00:04:26,493 --> 00:04:28,802
Unbelievable.
69
00:04:32,733 --> 00:04:34,769
Quite the collection of comic books.
70
00:04:34,853 --> 00:04:39,563
Hodgins said that the cellulose mass
was a graphic novel.
71
00:04:39,653 --> 00:04:44,044
He sent it to Angela for analysis and recovery.
72
00:04:44,133 --> 00:04:45,930
- Sweet.
- Sweet?
73
00:04:46,013 --> 00:04:51,451
This is Batman number 127 featuring "The
Hammer of Thor". This is worth about $300.
74
00:04:51,533 --> 00:04:54,843
- Booth, are you a nerd?
- First of all, you mean "geek".
75
00:04:54,933 --> 00:04:58,846
And, no, I'm not. It's quite normal
for an American male to read comic books.
76
00:04:58,933 --> 00:05:02,050
I can't believe you have
anything in common with Warren.
77
00:05:02,133 --> 00:05:05,603
Oh, you mean isolated
with an inner secret life? No.
78
00:05:05,693 --> 00:05:08,207
Hey, I'd say you were more like Warren.
79
00:05:12,493 --> 00:05:17,283
Zack discovered some significant hairline
parry fractures on the right and left ulnae.
80
00:05:17,373 --> 00:05:20,410
- That's his arms.
- I know ulna means forearm.
81
00:05:20,493 --> 00:05:24,771
I pay attention. I also know
that parry fracture means the kid fought back.
82
00:05:24,853 --> 00:05:28,528
Small stature, a geek, and he fought back.
83
00:05:28,613 --> 00:05:31,571
He also got thrown from a roof.
84
00:05:33,773 --> 00:05:38,244
There's nothing but games on here.
There's no journal, there's no documents.
85
00:05:38,333 --> 00:05:42,963
Nothing personal. What did he do
at his desk? I mean, there's a light.
86
00:05:43,053 --> 00:05:47,365
The rug's worn.
He used this area for something. What was it?
87
00:05:47,453 --> 00:05:50,729
Probably where he read his comic books.
88
00:05:59,533 --> 00:06:04,766
I think Warren sat here
and wrote longhand with a ballpoint pen.
89
00:06:04,853 --> 00:06:08,209
That's pretty retro for a geek.
90
00:06:08,293 --> 00:06:13,162
Well, at least we know where
he got the idea for a costume. Citizen 14.
91
00:06:13,253 --> 00:06:15,244
A superhero.
92
00:06:48,493 --> 00:06:54,932
Hodgins dried out and separated the pages.
I digitised them and adjusted for ink seepage.
93
00:06:55,013 --> 00:06:59,086
- Was this printed commercially?
- No. It's handmade.
94
00:06:59,173 --> 00:07:02,643
- That's what he was writing.
- A comic book starring himself.
95
00:07:02,733 --> 00:07:06,362
A shy adolescent young man
renders himself as a superhero.
96
00:07:06,453 --> 00:07:10,651
Alone in that room all the time. Maybe
Warren got consumed by his own fantasy.
97
00:07:10,733 --> 00:07:14,487
- You think he was out fighting crime?
- Well, the boy got beaten to a pulp
98
00:07:14,573 --> 00:07:17,883
wearing his superhero outfit
in the heaviest crime area of DC.
99
00:07:17,973 --> 00:07:19,929
As you know, being a writer yourself,
100
00:07:20,013 --> 00:07:24,211
Warren's comic book could be infused
with his real-life fears and conflicts.
101
00:07:24,293 --> 00:07:26,409
Especially in the case of an adolescent.
102
00:07:26,493 --> 00:07:28,802
- Can you retrieve any more of this?
- Yeah.
103
00:07:28,893 --> 00:07:31,248
Fine. What's our next step?
104
00:07:31,333 --> 00:07:35,246
Oh, we'll go see if Warren had any friends
his mother didn't know about.
105
00:07:37,893 --> 00:07:41,568
Wait. Warren Granger was
the skeleton corpse those kids found?
106
00:07:41,653 --> 00:07:44,486
Yeah. Sounds like you were close.
107
00:07:44,573 --> 00:07:47,326
How long was he laying there
all dead like that?
108
00:07:47,413 --> 00:07:50,849
- For a while.
- How well did you know Warren, Mr Ellis?
109
00:07:50,933 --> 00:07:53,731
He came in here all the time.
110
00:07:53,813 --> 00:07:56,088
You know, he... he knew his stuff.
111
00:07:56,173 --> 00:07:58,209
He was a nice kid.
112
00:07:59,013 --> 00:08:02,767
- Really nice guy.
- Something you're not telling us?
113
00:08:02,853 --> 00:08:05,321
- What do you mean?
- You seem a little nervous.
114
00:08:05,413 --> 00:08:09,452
Well, you just told me that someone I know
is this rotting skeletal corpse
115
00:08:09,533 --> 00:08:12,445
that's been all over the news.
116
00:08:12,533 --> 00:08:14,967
Is there a party upstairs?
117
00:08:15,053 --> 00:08:19,922
Oh, it's the, uh, Doomsday Group.
I rent it out Thursday nights.
118
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:26,684
Hey, wait.
Um, Warren was actually one of them.
119
00:08:26,773 --> 00:08:30,686
Oh. That's a handy thing to remember.
Anything else you forget to mention?
120
00:08:30,773 --> 00:08:33,492
No, that's... that's it, I think.
121
00:08:42,693 --> 00:08:45,685
- I can't take that away.
- We can't break out of...
122
00:08:45,773 --> 00:08:48,333
Excuse me.
This is a private function. Goodbye.
123
00:08:48,413 --> 00:08:52,884
Go ahead. Don't let me stop you from...
What are you doing, exactly?
124
00:08:52,973 --> 00:08:57,728
Guys, this is actually a real live woman.
Something you don't see often.
125
00:08:57,813 --> 00:09:00,407
And like I said, this is a private function, so...
126
00:09:00,493 --> 00:09:03,644
It's the FBI. All right?
Turn it off for a minute, please.
127
00:09:03,733 --> 00:09:05,849
FBI?
128
00:09:05,933 --> 00:09:09,403
I'm Yasutani the Terrible.
I speak for this clan.
129
00:09:10,093 --> 00:09:15,008
OK, well, we'd like to ask you a few questions
if you're not too, uh... busy.
130
00:09:15,093 --> 00:09:17,561
The costumes, the social awkwardness,
131
00:09:17,653 --> 00:09:21,532
the active fantasy life -
the victim would fit into this subgrouping.
132
00:09:21,613 --> 00:09:25,049
OK, hey, Mr Yakatori the Horrible.
133
00:09:25,133 --> 00:09:27,567
- What's your real name?
- Jeremy Kuznetsky.
134
00:09:27,653 --> 00:09:30,087
Do any of you people know Warren Granger?
135
00:09:30,173 --> 00:09:34,086
- Something happened to Warren?
- Warren's dead. He was murdered.
136
00:09:34,173 --> 00:09:38,166
No, I never said anything about him
being murdered. Neither did the press.
137
00:09:38,253 --> 00:09:43,168
Obviously if you're the FBI he was murdered.
You don't investigate people hit by a bus.
138
00:09:43,253 --> 00:09:45,403
OK. When's the last time you saw Warren?
139
00:09:45,493 --> 00:09:48,326
- A couple months ago when he left.
- Left?
140
00:09:48,413 --> 00:09:52,770
Citizen 14 was one of us
until he went psycho and bugged out.
141
00:09:52,853 --> 00:09:55,447
- Called us all posers.
- Pathetic fantasists.
142
00:09:55,533 --> 00:10:00,448
- Was he wearing his, um... outfit?
- His identity, yeah.
143
00:10:00,533 --> 00:10:03,366
- Why do you wear these identities?
- For the game.
144
00:10:03,453 --> 00:10:07,241
- How serious do you take it?
- It's only fun if you take it seriously.
145
00:10:07,333 --> 00:10:11,292
- You always play here?
- "Play" is not exactly the right verb, OK?
146
00:10:11,373 --> 00:10:15,525
Shut up! Shut up! Who cares?
Didn't you hear? Warren is dead!
147
00:10:15,613 --> 00:10:17,490
It's OK, Minnow.
148
00:10:17,573 --> 00:10:19,609
- What's your name?
- Blue Minnow.
149
00:10:19,693 --> 00:10:22,969
When I ask your names,
I want the ones your parents gave you.
150
00:10:23,053 --> 00:10:26,602
Abigail Zealy. Citizen 14 was my partner.
151
00:10:26,693 --> 00:10:29,730
Is that what you call Warren? Citizen 14?
152
00:10:29,813 --> 00:10:33,010
Citizen 14 was my partner.
Warren was my friend.
153
00:10:33,093 --> 00:10:36,005
He was a little more than that.
154
00:10:37,493 --> 00:10:39,609
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
155
00:10:42,693 --> 00:10:46,891
I don't like to judge an entire subculture,
but those people gave me the creeps.
156
00:10:46,973 --> 00:10:49,168
That's because they are creepy.
157
00:10:49,253 --> 00:10:53,405
What I mean is those kids weren't
your harmless tutor-you-in-math geeks.
158
00:10:53,493 --> 00:10:57,168
They were the, you know,
set-the-school-on-fire geeks.
159
00:10:57,253 --> 00:10:59,926
Dark nerds. Columbine nerds.
160
00:11:00,013 --> 00:11:03,801
Columbine? You think Yasutani the Terrible
is capable of murder?
161
00:11:03,893 --> 00:11:07,010
I think they get high, they play these games,
162
00:11:07,093 --> 00:11:11,132
they lose their grip on reality
and they believe they are these characters.
163
00:11:11,213 --> 00:11:13,932
You mean like Warren, out fighting crime?
164
00:11:14,013 --> 00:11:17,688
You know, hey, maybe Warren and that guy,
the leader, Yasahama...
165
00:11:17,773 --> 00:11:20,241
- Yasutani the Terrible.
- Yeah.
166
00:11:20,333 --> 00:11:22,164
Maybe him and that guy,
167
00:11:22,253 --> 00:11:26,007
they got into this, you know, magic fight
and it became real.
168
00:11:26,093 --> 00:11:31,451
So you're saying it wasn't Warren who was
murdered, it was his character, Citizen 14.
169
00:11:31,533 --> 00:11:35,446
They're so delusional they don't even know
they've committed a crime.
170
00:11:35,533 --> 00:11:39,321
I'll get Hodgins to see if there's any signs
of drug use in Warren's hair.
171
00:11:40,173 --> 00:11:44,610
Oh, I managed to get some of the text
back from this panel. Cheerful little tyke.
172
00:11:44,693 --> 00:11:46,809
The writer was in pain.
173
00:11:47,253 --> 00:11:50,928
And I don't think it was purely
the adolescent angst of the outsider.
174
00:11:51,013 --> 00:11:54,244
I'd go so far as to say
it wasn't even psychological pain.
175
00:11:54,333 --> 00:11:58,087
He's afraid of actual physical death.
176
00:11:58,173 --> 00:12:00,368
Can you pull all that from a comic book?
177
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:03,923
Writers reveal more of themselves
than they intend on every page.
178
00:12:04,013 --> 00:12:08,165
I never bought all that English 101 stuff.
Sometimes a river is just a river.
179
00:12:08,253 --> 00:12:11,404
All due respect, but my writing is pure fiction.
180
00:12:11,493 --> 00:12:16,328
I fear you reveal much more of your
world view in your writing than you realise.
181
00:12:16,413 --> 00:12:17,402
Such as?
182
00:12:17,493 --> 00:12:21,884
Such as, archaeologists make good
administrators because they enjoy tedium.
183
00:12:21,973 --> 00:12:27,127
Artists are doomed to a life of loneliness cos
they can't think beyond instant gratification.
184
00:12:27,213 --> 00:12:30,364
Such as, FBI guys are hot
and Angela wants to have sex with me.
185
00:12:30,453 --> 00:12:32,011
Yeah.
186
00:12:33,413 --> 00:12:37,406
All I'm suggesting is that while Dr Goodman
goes through Warren's writing,
187
00:12:37,493 --> 00:12:41,725
we should concentrate on the hypotheses
congruent with forensic evidence.
188
00:12:41,813 --> 00:12:45,806
I'm going to take another look
at Warren Granger's remains.
189
00:12:45,893 --> 00:12:49,886
In the last 24 hours I've read several dozen
comic books and graphic novels.
190
00:12:49,973 --> 00:12:52,362
Did Hodgins find any sign of drug use?
191
00:12:52,453 --> 00:12:54,444
No.
192
00:12:54,533 --> 00:12:58,412
They're quite interesting.
The graphic novels especially.
193
00:12:58,493 --> 00:13:00,768
After you clean the bones, look for scoring
194
00:13:00,853 --> 00:13:04,004
on the occipital condyle
and the inferior nuchal line.
195
00:13:04,093 --> 00:13:06,766
They're basically a retelling
of the Greek myths
196
00:13:06,853 --> 00:13:09,890
with all superheroes standing in for Hercules.
197
00:13:09,973 --> 00:13:12,043
Half god, half human.
198
00:13:12,133 --> 00:13:14,044
OK, be very careful here.
199
00:13:14,133 --> 00:13:20,322
X-ray shows fragmentation of the cervical
vertebrae consistent with sharp force trauma.
200
00:13:20,413 --> 00:13:25,851
Invulnerability, super strength,
heightened senses, telekinesis...
201
00:13:26,813 --> 00:13:30,408
I'd love to have some of those powers.
202
00:13:30,493 --> 00:13:32,882
Why?
203
00:13:32,973 --> 00:13:38,764
- l-I don't really know. Is that an odd desire?
- Why fantasise? You're smart.
204
00:13:38,853 --> 00:13:43,131
In some ways my intelligence is a handicap.
Well, for one thing, I'm weird.
205
00:13:43,213 --> 00:13:47,923
For another, I tend to make people feel stupid
and they resent me for it.
206
00:13:48,013 --> 00:13:51,483
I suspect it's the same for superpowers.
207
00:13:54,213 --> 00:13:56,681
The victim was stabbed
at the base of the spine.
208
00:13:56,773 --> 00:13:59,685
The spinal cord was severed.
That's what killed him.
209
00:13:59,773 --> 00:14:02,651
I'll clean the bones and try to match a weapon
to the damage.
210
00:14:02,733 --> 00:14:06,043
Which will make you a real hero
in the real world.
211
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:12,609
In this restored panel from the second
and final volume of Citizen 14
212
00:14:12,693 --> 00:14:16,652
we begin to see a female presence,
beautiful, ethereal,
213
00:14:16,733 --> 00:14:19,452
which he calls the Opalescence.
214
00:14:19,533 --> 00:14:22,093
A girl he literally can't approach.
215
00:14:23,253 --> 00:14:26,086
What if Warren was only...
216
00:14:26,173 --> 00:14:30,007
you know, supplying
his own masturbatory materials?
217
00:14:30,093 --> 00:14:34,405
Yes. Lonely adolescent boy.
But the story moves beyond that dimension.
218
00:14:34,493 --> 00:14:38,327
Here we see the idolised female Opalescence
219
00:14:38,413 --> 00:14:43,009
cowering before a dark male figure
referred to only as the Twisted.
220
00:14:43,093 --> 00:14:48,008
So Citizen 14 wants to rescue
the Opalescence from the Twisted.
221
00:14:48,093 --> 00:14:50,926
Could this be Warren's mother
and stepfather?
222
00:14:51,013 --> 00:14:56,246
There are elements of romantic love.
This girl surrounded by blue...
223
00:14:58,893 --> 00:15:04,445
You know, they did mention that one of
those comic-book geeks was a blue girl.
224
00:15:04,533 --> 00:15:07,047
I'd say she's definitely worth questioning.
225
00:15:07,133 --> 00:15:11,684
- Blue Minnow. That's your alter ego.
- Abigail Zealy is my alter ego.
226
00:15:11,773 --> 00:15:15,049
Did you, Abigail, have a relationship
with Warren Granger?
227
00:15:15,133 --> 00:15:18,728
Or did the Blue Minnow
have a relationship with Citizen 14?
228
00:15:18,813 --> 00:15:22,692
- Or any combination thereof?
- Neither.
229
00:15:22,773 --> 00:15:25,810
Warren had a girlfriend. At Capital Bowl.
230
00:15:25,893 --> 00:15:29,932
- What's the girlfriend's name, Abby?
- He never told us her name.
231
00:15:30,013 --> 00:15:32,652
It was just a physical thing
232
00:15:32,733 --> 00:15:35,884
and... and it was almost over.
233
00:15:35,973 --> 00:15:39,568
Warren and I had a connection.
He couldn't deny that.
234
00:15:39,653 --> 00:15:44,568
Before he disappeared,
he gave me his entire Neil Gaiman collection,
235
00:15:44,653 --> 00:15:46,689
his favourite work beside his own.
236
00:15:46,773 --> 00:15:51,688
In his own work he describes a woman
known as the Opalescence.
237
00:15:51,773 --> 00:15:55,209
Do you believe that's supposed to be you?
238
00:15:55,293 --> 00:15:57,523
What do you think?
239
00:15:57,613 --> 00:16:00,650
We think it's another girl entirely.
240
00:16:02,613 --> 00:16:05,286
Does that bother you?
241
00:16:05,373 --> 00:16:07,443
OK...
242
00:16:07,533 --> 00:16:10,923
Maybe the others told you I'm obsessed.
I know.
243
00:16:11,013 --> 00:16:14,244
Because they never got Warren like I did.
244
00:16:14,333 --> 00:16:18,292
He was right. They are posers.
245
00:16:18,373 --> 00:16:21,046
- But Warren wasn't?
- Warren believed.
246
00:16:21,133 --> 00:16:25,285
He believed in truth.
He believed in doing what was right.
247
00:16:25,373 --> 00:16:27,409
He was Citizen 14.
248
00:16:27,493 --> 00:16:29,484
Citizen 14 is real.
249
00:16:29,573 --> 00:16:35,091
- Warren didn't fit in with the others?
- I just said! Warren was better!
250
00:16:35,893 --> 00:16:38,248
He was a really nice guy.
251
00:16:38,333 --> 00:16:41,564
Were you aware that Jeremy Kuznetsky
252
00:16:41,653 --> 00:16:44,645
and Kenneth Vert
253
00:16:44,733 --> 00:16:46,610
have police records?
254
00:16:46,693 --> 00:16:48,490
Yeah.
255
00:16:48,573 --> 00:16:51,963
It's nothing interesting, though.
256
00:16:52,053 --> 00:16:55,204
It's, like, vandalism and trespassing.
257
00:16:55,293 --> 00:16:57,329
You can't take them seriously.
258
00:16:57,413 --> 00:17:00,211
- What, as criminals?
- As anything.
259
00:17:00,293 --> 00:17:02,966
OK. Well, what would be interesting
as a crime?
260
00:17:03,053 --> 00:17:05,442
Something that took courage.
261
00:17:05,533 --> 00:17:08,172
Something that meant something.
262
00:17:08,253 --> 00:17:10,209
Like murder?
263
00:17:10,293 --> 00:17:12,488
Yeah. Like murder.
264
00:17:17,773 --> 00:17:21,482
Warren Granger on the night he died,
wearing his costume.
265
00:17:21,573 --> 00:17:23,564
Start the sequence.
266
00:17:25,733 --> 00:17:29,123
Cause of death was a severed spinal cord.
267
00:17:32,333 --> 00:17:35,131
- We can rule out Abigail Zealy.
- How do you figure?
268
00:17:35,213 --> 00:17:38,842
Abigail doesn't have enough strength
to sever Warren's spinal cord.
269
00:17:38,933 --> 00:17:42,812
What about his stepdad?
Or the other kids at the comic shop?
270
00:17:42,893 --> 00:17:46,772
Well, if the physicality of the murderer
is between 5'10 and 6'1,
271
00:17:46,853 --> 00:17:50,163
I'd say yes to them all,
depending on the weapon.
272
00:17:54,333 --> 00:17:56,722
What had he done
to make somebody so angry?
273
00:17:56,813 --> 00:18:01,091
Zack's cleaning the bones now. Maybe
we'll find something that we've missed.
274
00:18:01,813 --> 00:18:05,328
- What are you reading?
- I'm doing research.
275
00:18:05,413 --> 00:18:09,691
- By reading a comic book?
- Intensely allegorical modern myths.
276
00:18:09,773 --> 00:18:12,526
- You're reading Bugs Bunny.
- On the surface, yes.
277
00:18:12,613 --> 00:18:15,969
But if you dig deeper,
the subtext becomes apparent.
278
00:18:16,053 --> 00:18:19,170
The conflict is representative
of the Darwinian struggle
279
00:18:19,253 --> 00:18:21,528
between avians and mammals for dominance.
280
00:18:21,613 --> 00:18:24,571
Based on Bugs giving Daffy
a cigar made out of dynamite?
281
00:18:24,653 --> 00:18:26,450
Yeah.
282
00:18:27,053 --> 00:18:30,682
And then here he explodes, but not really.
283
00:18:31,613 --> 00:18:34,286
- You have a problem, my man.
- What?
284
00:18:34,373 --> 00:18:39,003
- It looks like you degraded the bones.
- Impossible. It's only a 4% peroxide solution.
285
00:18:39,093 --> 00:18:42,768
Then what's that bubbling and pitting
on the periosteum?
286
00:18:42,853 --> 00:18:48,849
- A 4% solution wouldn't cause that.
- Is it some kind of systemic deterioration?
287
00:18:51,973 --> 00:18:56,444
- Intertrochanteric crest is eaten away.
- What do you think it is?
288
00:18:56,533 --> 00:18:58,728
This kid was sick.
289
00:19:08,693 --> 00:19:11,446
- You smell that?
- Yes, I do.
290
00:19:11,533 --> 00:19:13,410
You know what that is, Bones?
291
00:19:13,493 --> 00:19:15,484
Wax, popcorn...
292
00:19:16,533 --> 00:19:18,171
feet, deodorant...
293
00:19:18,253 --> 00:19:23,168
- That is America, Bones.
- You keep your bowling ball in the car?
294
00:19:23,253 --> 00:19:28,850
Oh, I figure we ask a few questions about
Warren Granger, maybe bowl a few frames.
295
00:19:28,933 --> 00:19:32,926
- Nothing like sport to take the edge off...
- This is not a sport.
296
00:19:33,013 --> 00:19:36,847
- How do you figure?
- There's no physical benefit, so it's like golf.
297
00:19:36,933 --> 00:19:39,083
It's not a sport. It's an activity.
298
00:19:39,173 --> 00:19:44,008
Could you please, maybe just for once,
try not to piss everyone off around you?
299
00:19:44,093 --> 00:19:46,368
Yeah. Sorry.
300
00:19:46,453 --> 00:19:49,206
Are you good at this... sport?
301
00:19:49,293 --> 00:19:52,171
My average is over 200,
less than two opens per game.
302
00:19:52,253 --> 00:19:56,166
One match I had 211 strikes out of 431 shots.
303
00:19:56,253 --> 00:19:59,325
- 29 opens in 39 games.
- What does that mean?
304
00:19:59,413 --> 00:20:02,405
- I won bowling awards.
- I won the Marshall H Dixon Award
305
00:20:02,493 --> 00:20:05,690
for my paper on George Romanes
and physiological selection.
306
00:20:05,773 --> 00:20:08,685
My God, it's like we lead parallel lives.
307
00:20:08,773 --> 00:20:12,129
- You need shoes?
- Yeah. Uh, looking for the manager.
308
00:20:12,653 --> 00:20:15,611
Ted McGruder. FBI, huh?
309
00:20:15,693 --> 00:20:18,651
We're investigating the death
of one of your employees.
310
00:20:18,733 --> 00:20:20,371
Warren Granger.
311
00:20:20,453 --> 00:20:22,284
Warren?
312
00:20:22,373 --> 00:20:25,922
He didn't show up for his paycheck.
I thought he found another job
313
00:20:26,013 --> 00:20:30,404
and didn't want to give notice.
He's weird like that. Good kid, though.
314
00:20:30,493 --> 00:20:32,245
Bye-bye!
315
00:20:32,333 --> 00:20:34,767
Aw, don't pout!
316
00:20:34,853 --> 00:20:37,925
Ted, I talked to them
but they just keep giving me lip.
317
00:20:38,013 --> 00:20:42,564
Luce, these people are with the FBI.
They're here about Warren Granger.
318
00:20:42,653 --> 00:20:45,804
- Warren? What about him?
- He's deceased.
319
00:20:45,893 --> 00:20:48,532
Oh, my God.
320
00:20:48,613 --> 00:20:53,129
- I told you he didn't quit.
- I was wrong. This is my wife, Lucy.
321
00:20:53,213 --> 00:20:55,886
- Sorry.
- That's OK.
322
00:20:55,973 --> 00:21:01,252
- How often do those kids come in here?
- Those jokers? Weekends, mostly.
323
00:21:01,333 --> 00:21:04,723
They used to come in a lot more
but in these crazy costumes.
324
00:21:04,813 --> 00:21:09,125
I told them I'd allow it on Halloween
but that's it.
325
00:21:09,213 --> 00:21:14,651
Warren's girlfriend here? We were informed
that Warren's girlfriend worked here.
326
00:21:14,733 --> 00:21:18,328
If you ever met Warren
you'd know he's not the girlfriend type of kid.
327
00:21:18,413 --> 00:21:22,531
There was a girl
who came by to see him sometimes.
328
00:21:24,693 --> 00:21:27,412
Yeah. Yeah, that's her.
l-I don't know her name,
329
00:21:27,493 --> 00:21:30,485
but I don't think Warren
was all that glad to see her.
330
00:21:30,573 --> 00:21:34,009
If she called,
he'd ask me to tell her that he wasn't here.
331
00:21:34,093 --> 00:21:35,082
Brennan.
332
00:21:35,173 --> 00:21:41,282
- Maybe he was just trying to dodge her.
- Excuse me just one moment, please.
333
00:21:41,373 --> 00:21:43,523
OK, slow down, Zack, and repeat that.
334
00:21:43,613 --> 00:21:48,812
Hypercellularity with total effacement
of the marrow space. Osteoblasts at 26% .
335
00:21:48,893 --> 00:21:52,203
OK. Good work, Zack.
Keep working on the weapon ID.
336
00:21:52,293 --> 00:21:54,523
I take it we're not getting any bowling in?
337
00:21:54,613 --> 00:22:00,404
Zack said that if Warren hadn't been murdered
two months ago, he'd be dead by now.
338
00:22:02,813 --> 00:22:05,486
When you said Warren was sick,
you meant leukaemia?
339
00:22:05,573 --> 00:22:06,642
Yes.
340
00:22:06,733 --> 00:22:09,406
But by the time he was 11,
he was in remission.
341
00:22:09,493 --> 00:22:15,363
The hypercellular activity I saw
is only present in advanced cancer cases.
342
00:22:15,453 --> 00:22:18,092
He must have been very ill.
343
00:22:18,173 --> 00:22:20,004
You didn't notice?
344
00:22:20,093 --> 00:22:23,403
We tried to be there for Warren,
but he wouldn't let us in.
345
00:22:23,493 --> 00:22:27,452
Right when you thought you'd built
a bridge of trust, he'd quit on you.
346
00:22:27,533 --> 00:22:30,127
He quit trying to face reality.
347
00:22:32,653 --> 00:22:35,611
Maybe your son didn't want you
to have to face it.
348
00:22:35,693 --> 00:22:40,448
I mean, he knew his situation was dire,
and he decided to tough it out on his own.
349
00:22:43,013 --> 00:22:46,085
Yes. He saw what it did to me the first time.
350
00:22:46,173 --> 00:22:51,042
It's not that he quit.
It's that he didn't want me to suffer.
351
00:22:59,133 --> 00:23:02,762
You said her son didn't tell her he was sick
to make her feel better.
352
00:23:02,853 --> 00:23:05,526
- You don't believe that?
- People don't do that.
353
00:23:05,613 --> 00:23:08,446
- So you told her that to make her feel better?
- Right.
354
00:23:08,533 --> 00:23:15,166
You just did what you said people don't do.
I wonder why he didn't tell his mother.
355
00:23:15,253 --> 00:23:18,643
Maybe he was caught up in the romance
of being a dying superhero.
356
00:23:18,733 --> 00:23:21,327
Adolescent angst, all that.
357
00:23:21,413 --> 00:23:24,405
What do you really think?
358
00:23:25,373 --> 00:23:28,843
The truth is, I think the boy was looking
how to be a man.
359
00:23:28,933 --> 00:23:31,731
All on his own.
He was doing the best that he could.
360
00:23:31,813 --> 00:23:34,043
Heroes don't whine about being sick.
361
00:23:34,133 --> 00:23:38,524
- Something like that. Poor kid.
- Did they know about the leukaemia?
362
00:23:38,613 --> 00:23:41,002
- No. He kept it a secret.
- Tough guy, huh?
363
00:23:41,093 --> 00:23:45,166
You were right. The kid knew he was
facing death. This changes motivation.
364
00:23:45,253 --> 00:23:47,892
- The killer's motivation?
- Warren Granger's.
365
00:23:47,973 --> 00:23:50,168
He was emboldened
by knowing he would die.
366
00:23:50,253 --> 00:23:53,609
- He went looking for a fight.
- He went looking for the Twisted.
367
00:23:53,693 --> 00:24:00,371
Wait. Wait. We are allowing the comic-book
story to generate too many hypotheses.
368
00:24:00,453 --> 00:24:03,251
I only heard
the "go get the bad guy" hypothesis.
369
00:24:03,333 --> 00:24:05,449
- It's too general.
- Yes.
370
00:24:05,533 --> 00:24:09,287
Perhaps the Opalescence
represented Warren's better nature
371
00:24:09,373 --> 00:24:14,083
and the Twisted was a reflection
of his darker sexual impulses -
372
00:24:14,173 --> 00:24:18,007
a theme I assume is common
in teenage fiction.
373
00:24:18,093 --> 00:24:20,084
And the drawings...
374
00:24:21,573 --> 00:24:23,689
Hello? Bones?
375
00:24:23,773 --> 00:24:26,082
The drawings.
376
00:24:26,173 --> 00:24:30,610
Warren wrote the comics, but there was
no evidence that he knew how to draw.
377
00:24:30,693 --> 00:24:34,322
Dr Brennan, I found an extra piece of bone
I can't account for.
378
00:24:34,653 --> 00:24:36,962
Someone else drew the comic.
379
00:24:38,253 --> 00:24:39,322
Stew Ellis.
380
00:24:39,413 --> 00:24:41,608
- What about him?
- Look.
381
00:24:41,693 --> 00:24:46,721
Warren Granger wrote this comic book
but it was drawn by Stew Ellis.
382
00:24:49,853 --> 00:24:53,562
I told you, I knew Warren from the store, OK?
He was a serious investor.
383
00:24:53,653 --> 00:24:56,247
- Did he owe you money, Stew?
- What?
384
00:24:56,333 --> 00:25:01,691
Was it creative differences
or was it you just didn't get enough credit?
385
00:25:02,693 --> 00:25:05,332
No, it was none of that.
386
00:25:05,413 --> 00:25:09,167
Look, why didn't you tell me
you were partners when I asked you earlier?
387
00:25:09,253 --> 00:25:14,168
Cos we had a big argument.
I didn't want you to think I had a motive.
388
00:25:14,253 --> 00:25:18,212
OK. What did you argue about?
Abigail Zealy?
389
00:25:18,293 --> 00:25:22,411
- No, man. Just merchandising.
- You argued about merchandising?
390
00:25:22,493 --> 00:25:25,565
Yeah. Warren thought he deserved 70%
for the concept,
391
00:25:25,653 --> 00:25:28,042
but I think since I did the drawings, I...
392
00:25:28,133 --> 00:25:30,522
- Do you have a publisher?
- No.
393
00:25:30,613 --> 00:25:36,848
And now we never will. Look, if you think
that I killed Warren, I'm not that stupid, man.
394
00:25:36,933 --> 00:25:42,644
- So, who do you think killed Warren?
- I... I don't know. Definitely not me, OK?
395
00:25:42,733 --> 00:25:46,806
Well, Stew, as of this moment,
you're the prime suspect in Warren's murder.
396
00:25:46,893 --> 00:25:49,043
Why?
397
00:25:49,133 --> 00:25:53,604
You lied about your relationship with Warren.
If I were you, I would think really hard
398
00:25:53,693 --> 00:25:56,924
if there's anything else you haven't told me.
399
00:25:57,013 --> 00:25:59,288
All right. Abby.
400
00:25:59,373 --> 00:26:02,012
Abby?
401
00:26:03,853 --> 00:26:05,286
Triangle.
402
00:26:05,373 --> 00:26:10,163
I hooked up with her a few times,
but she was obsessed with Warren.
403
00:26:10,253 --> 00:26:15,247
- So, you did argue about her?
- No, man. Warren never wanted Abby.
404
00:26:15,693 --> 00:26:17,809
It made you jealous that she wanted him?
405
00:26:17,893 --> 00:26:21,010
Dude, Abby's cute
in a chick geek kind of way,
406
00:26:21,093 --> 00:26:24,369
but she's not that kind of Betty
you go to the death chamber for.
407
00:26:24,453 --> 00:26:27,650
OK. You're one of those guys
who's way too good at lying.
408
00:26:27,733 --> 00:26:30,770
Dude, I'm an artist. What do you want?
409
00:26:31,813 --> 00:26:37,888
I found the extra piece of bone
lodged here in the odontoid process of C2.
410
00:26:39,853 --> 00:26:45,803
l-I went through all the chipping and damage
again but I can't find where it came from.
411
00:26:45,893 --> 00:26:49,442
- It's not from the cervical vertebrae.
- Oh, it's not?
412
00:26:49,533 --> 00:26:53,162
It's from a long bone,
probably the deltoid process of a humerus.
413
00:26:53,253 --> 00:26:57,883
- An arm bone?
- I need you to set up the microtome.
414
00:26:57,973 --> 00:27:00,806
And get me paraffin
and an embedding mould.
415
00:27:00,893 --> 00:27:03,327
- Are you prepping your own bone slide?
- Yes.
416
00:27:03,413 --> 00:27:06,450
- Usually I do that for you.
- This is a tough one, Zack.
417
00:27:06,533 --> 00:27:11,129
The piece is small and I need to make sure
there's enough left for a DNA sample.
418
00:27:11,213 --> 00:27:13,852
Wait. Warren Granger's arm bones
are complete.
419
00:27:13,933 --> 00:27:17,369
This extra bone fragment
didn't come from Warren Granger.
420
00:27:17,453 --> 00:27:20,763
Warren was the victim of a violent attack.
He fought back.
421
00:27:20,853 --> 00:27:24,971
It's possible that during that struggle
he struck his attacker
422
00:27:25,053 --> 00:27:27,442
with the same weapon
that was used to kill him.
423
00:27:27,533 --> 00:27:32,243
Which means that piece of bone
could've come from his murderer.
424
00:27:38,773 --> 00:27:40,764
What are you doing?
425
00:27:43,733 --> 00:27:47,806
Breathing dissipates static electricity
and makes it easier to cut.
426
00:27:47,893 --> 00:27:50,202
You seem nervous.
427
00:27:50,293 --> 00:27:56,368
If I get this right I'll be able to tell you the age,
sex and race of Warren Granger's killer.
428
00:27:57,973 --> 00:28:00,362
Stew was the artist.
429
00:28:00,453 --> 00:28:05,208
Really? You think he killed Warren
over artistic differences?
430
00:28:05,293 --> 00:28:08,285
- He also had a thing for Abby.
- Wow.
431
00:28:08,373 --> 00:28:13,083
Yeah. For a recluse, Warren Granger,
he had his thumb in a lot of pies.
432
00:28:13,173 --> 00:28:16,961
You said before
that Warren reminded you of me.
433
00:28:17,053 --> 00:28:18,964
You think I'm just like him,
434
00:28:19,053 --> 00:28:24,605
that he hid from life by immersing himself
in a fantasy world where he fought crime,
435
00:28:24,693 --> 00:28:30,006
and I do the same thing,
only I don't have superpowers. I...
436
00:28:30,093 --> 00:28:33,449
- I have science.
- No, Bones, you do fight crime.
437
00:28:33,533 --> 00:28:38,732
It's not a fantasy. As far as any normal person
is concerned, you do have superpowers.
438
00:28:38,813 --> 00:28:41,247
- You're just saying that.
- I don't do that.
439
00:28:41,333 --> 00:28:46,805
Yes, you do. You lied to Warren Granger's
mother to make her feel better.
440
00:28:46,893 --> 00:28:49,407
That seems to be your superpower.
441
00:28:49,493 --> 00:28:52,565
Look, this piece of bone you're analysing,
442
00:28:52,653 --> 00:28:55,884
how did it get lodged
in Warren Granger's neck?
443
00:28:55,973 --> 00:29:00,569
It was deposited by the same weapon
that severed his spinal cord.
444
00:29:00,653 --> 00:29:03,372
Doesn't make it the killer's bone.
445
00:29:05,813 --> 00:29:08,611
You're thinking a separate murder victim?
446
00:29:08,693 --> 00:29:10,604
Opalescence?
447
00:29:10,693 --> 00:29:13,651
The woman he loved.
448
00:29:13,733 --> 00:29:16,327
- I don't think she's dead.
- Why?
449
00:29:16,413 --> 00:29:18,449
This is an arm bone.
450
00:29:18,533 --> 00:29:22,890
Has anyone we've seen on this case
been favouring her arm?
451
00:29:22,973 --> 00:29:24,645
Not that I've noticed.
452
00:29:24,733 --> 00:29:28,806
That's because you're not an anthropologist...
453
00:29:29,813 --> 00:29:32,327
- with superpowers.
- Ha.
454
00:29:32,853 --> 00:29:35,572
That's good.
455
00:29:37,853 --> 00:29:40,447
Oh. Hello.
456
00:29:40,533 --> 00:29:43,684
- Any news about Warren?
- We're still in the initial phase.
457
00:29:43,773 --> 00:29:49,405
You didn't happen to keep that last payroll
cheque for Warren that you told me about?
458
00:29:49,493 --> 00:29:52,530
- By law I have to, yeah.
- You mind digging that out for us?
459
00:29:52,613 --> 00:29:54,683
I apologise for the inconvenience.
460
00:29:54,773 --> 00:29:57,571
I guess. It's probably in the file somewhere.
461
00:29:57,653 --> 00:30:01,851
- What do you need the paycheck for?
- Ah, it's technical.
462
00:30:01,933 --> 00:30:03,730
Mrs McGruder,
463
00:30:03,813 --> 00:30:07,601
- what's wrong with your left side?
- Why would you ask me that?
464
00:30:07,693 --> 00:30:12,813
I noticed how you held yourself the last time
I was here. I didn't think anything of it...
465
00:30:12,893 --> 00:30:15,646
- What?
- She wants to know how you hurt yourself.
466
00:30:15,733 --> 00:30:19,931
You walk as though your left ribs are cracked.
Also, you favour your left arm.
467
00:30:20,013 --> 00:30:21,366
Oh! I, um...
468
00:30:21,453 --> 00:30:23,683
l-I fell on the lanes.
469
00:30:23,773 --> 00:30:25,968
They're very slippery.
470
00:30:26,053 --> 00:30:30,012
Falling would bruise a number of ribs.
You're favouring only one or two.
471
00:30:30,093 --> 00:30:33,210
The type of damage done by a fist.
472
00:30:35,213 --> 00:30:37,773
Look, were you and Warren close?
473
00:30:37,853 --> 00:30:39,889
He was a nice kid.
474
00:30:40,773 --> 00:30:43,003
A really nice kid.
475
00:30:43,093 --> 00:30:45,243
Here it is.
476
00:30:45,333 --> 00:30:49,167
You two want to bowl a few frames?
Got some empty lanes.
477
00:30:49,253 --> 00:30:53,132
- I'll see you in the comic books, buster.
- What?
478
00:30:53,213 --> 00:30:55,602
Thanks. I'll get this back to you.
479
00:30:55,693 --> 00:30:57,729
It's, "See you in the funny pages."
480
00:30:57,813 --> 00:31:00,611
OK, I took a liberty. Her husband beats her.
481
00:31:00,693 --> 00:31:03,048
Bones, talk about multiple hypotheses!
482
00:31:03,133 --> 00:31:05,601
It's a leap, yes, but it was bound to happen,
483
00:31:05,693 --> 00:31:09,322
me spending so much time with you.
I mean that as a compliment.
484
00:31:09,413 --> 00:31:14,282
OK. So Warren's former boss is the Twisted
and the boss's wife is the Opalescence.
485
00:31:14,373 --> 00:31:16,568
- Go back and arrest him.
- It's not enough.
486
00:31:16,653 --> 00:31:19,884
For that, we need something
just a little bit more real.
487
00:31:19,973 --> 00:31:22,692
- Evidence.
- Cold hard facts, baby.
488
00:31:34,493 --> 00:31:38,247
Dr Brennan,
based on your histology and the DNA,
489
00:31:38,333 --> 00:31:41,928
the bone found on Warren's neck
came from a Caucasian male, mid 30s.
490
00:31:42,013 --> 00:31:45,085
McGruder.
What? Can you get any more specific?
491
00:31:45,173 --> 00:31:48,643
- We need the weapon.
- I can get a warrant for whatever you want.
492
00:31:48,733 --> 00:31:51,042
We don't know what we're looking for.
493
00:31:51,133 --> 00:31:54,648
We hit a dead end reverse-engineering it
from the mark on the neck.
494
00:31:54,733 --> 00:31:57,452
- Too much fragmentation.
- Wait.
495
00:31:57,533 --> 00:32:00,809
You said that in books
you could find the real-world version.
496
00:32:00,893 --> 00:32:05,683
- Yeah. If you know you, it's pretty obvious.
- Well, give me an example.
497
00:32:05,773 --> 00:32:10,688
In your book, your partner's a former Olympic
boxer who spoke six different languages.
498
00:32:10,773 --> 00:32:13,082
In real life, you got me.
499
00:32:13,173 --> 00:32:18,770
So what you're saying is that
reality falls far, far short of the fictional.
500
00:32:18,853 --> 00:32:19,842
Yeah.
501
00:32:19,933 --> 00:32:22,128
Thanks a lot, Bones.
502
00:32:23,133 --> 00:32:29,129
Warren Granger's spinal cord was severed
by something sharp, but not a knife.
503
00:32:30,333 --> 00:32:33,245
OK, if it wasn't a knife, what was it?
504
00:32:33,693 --> 00:32:37,686
The closest match I could find would be
a corkscrew or a Tibetan skull knife,
505
00:32:37,773 --> 00:32:42,244
but neither of them explain how foreign bone
was left lodged in the vertebrae.
506
00:32:42,333 --> 00:32:47,566
- Pull up Citizen 14's weapon thing.
- It was a boomerang thing, like a sonic gun.
507
00:32:47,653 --> 00:32:51,362
A laser cutlass. That thing that allowed him
to hear through walls.
508
00:32:51,453 --> 00:32:55,685
We're looking for something that has
a drabber version in the real world.
509
00:32:55,773 --> 00:32:58,128
Why would he be killed by his own weapon?
510
00:32:58,213 --> 00:33:01,728
He had it on him the night
he decided to confront Ted McGruder.
511
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:05,601
- Citizen 14's arsenal.
- What's that?
512
00:33:05,693 --> 00:33:09,606
His main weapon. It's a three-sided
throwing knife that returns to him.
513
00:33:09,693 --> 00:33:15,404
None of them make the wounds that resemble
the one that severed Warren's spinal cord.
514
00:33:15,493 --> 00:33:17,484
- It was just an idea.
- Bones...
515
00:33:17,573 --> 00:33:21,043
No. l-I fell into the exact thing
that I warned you about.
516
00:33:21,133 --> 00:33:25,172
Developing too many hypotheses
not grounded in fact.
517
00:33:25,253 --> 00:33:28,484
No. Bones, I know exactly
which drab real-world thing
518
00:33:28,573 --> 00:33:31,645
was used to murder Warren Granger.
519
00:33:32,853 --> 00:33:36,129
He wants to feel like a hero.
He's facing a damsel in distress.
520
00:33:36,213 --> 00:33:39,603
- Lucy is ten years older.
- It's not the damsel part that matters.
521
00:33:39,693 --> 00:33:42,685
It's the distress that appealed to the kid.
I mean, look.
522
00:33:42,773 --> 00:33:45,287
It wasn't about sex or romance. It never was.
523
00:33:45,373 --> 00:33:49,446
He wanted to make a difference in the world
before he died.
524
00:33:51,933 --> 00:33:54,527
I told you he was more like you than me.
525
00:33:54,613 --> 00:33:57,173
22705. Dispatch.
526
00:33:57,253 --> 00:33:58,732
22705.
527
00:33:58,813 --> 00:34:02,488
Unit sent to suspect's residence
reports the domicile is empty.
528
00:34:02,573 --> 00:34:06,122
- What about the wife?
- Negative. Search team is inside the house.
529
00:34:06,213 --> 00:34:08,602
It's empty. Signs of flight.
530
00:34:10,053 --> 00:34:12,248
Affirmative, Dispatch.
531
00:34:12,773 --> 00:34:15,367
He beats her
but she takes off with him anyway?
532
00:34:15,453 --> 00:34:17,648
Spousal abuse syndrome.
533
00:34:19,293 --> 00:34:21,602
- Dispatch, 22705.
- Dispatch.
534
00:34:21,693 --> 00:34:25,606
Can you send a backup unit
to Capital Bowl, 1123 Seabolt?
535
00:34:26,693 --> 00:34:31,403
Domestic disturbances are always weird, OK?
The woman gets beat on by her husband,
536
00:34:31,493 --> 00:34:36,283
the cavalry saves her. You'd think she'd be
on the same side as the rescuers, but...
537
00:34:36,373 --> 00:34:40,252
You're saying watch out for the wife.
538
00:34:40,333 --> 00:34:43,052
All I'm saying is just stay alert.
539
00:34:43,133 --> 00:34:45,488
- OK, Bones?
- OK.
540
00:34:45,573 --> 00:34:48,690
- Ted, why are we doing this?
- Shut up!
541
00:34:48,773 --> 00:34:52,004
- You didn't do anything.
- I swear, if you don't shut up...
542
00:34:52,093 --> 00:34:56,405
- I know you wouldn't hurt Warren.
- Of course he would.
543
00:34:56,493 --> 00:34:59,565
- He likes to beat up people weaker than him.
- We're closed.
544
00:34:59,653 --> 00:35:03,771
You left your door unlocked. Probably
an oversight due to your state of panic.
545
00:35:03,853 --> 00:35:07,084
Yeah. Lights were on.
You see, we suspected a robbery.
546
00:35:07,173 --> 00:35:10,290
- Say, you have a bevel knife?
- A what?
547
00:35:10,373 --> 00:35:14,525
- It's a triangular three-sided knife.
- To clean out bowling ball holes.
548
00:35:14,613 --> 00:35:17,764
Say, I used to have one.
You wouldn't have one around here?
549
00:35:17,853 --> 00:35:20,572
You need a warrant to take any of my stuff.
550
00:35:20,653 --> 00:35:23,372
Lucy, we need a bevel knife.
551
00:35:27,853 --> 00:35:30,208
- We keep one in here.
- Shut up, Lucy!
552
00:35:30,293 --> 00:35:35,162
Why don't you smack her around a little bit
there, Ted, huh? Keep your woman in line.
553
00:35:57,853 --> 00:35:59,684
Yeah.
554
00:35:59,773 --> 00:36:02,162
- This could've done it.
- Say, Bones.
555
00:36:02,253 --> 00:36:05,370
That, uh, bone chip -
second victim or murderer?
556
00:36:05,453 --> 00:36:08,843
Well, for Warren's sake,
I hope it was the murderer.
557
00:36:08,933 --> 00:36:12,369
- Me, too.
- What are you talking about? Get out of here.
558
00:36:12,453 --> 00:36:15,013
- It'd be his left arm.
- What?
559
00:36:15,093 --> 00:36:19,211
Warren was right-handed, so the wound
would be on your husband's left arm.
560
00:36:19,293 --> 00:36:21,249
- Oh, my God.
- Bones...
561
00:36:24,653 --> 00:36:26,450
Right there.
562
00:36:28,413 --> 00:36:31,644
I got him. I got him.
I got him. I got him. All right.
563
00:36:31,733 --> 00:36:35,646
Aw, hell, Bones, it looks like you opened up
an old wound there. Let's go.
564
00:36:35,733 --> 00:36:38,167
You're under arrest. I hate a wife-beater.
565
00:36:38,253 --> 00:36:42,132
Almost as much as I hate
someone who kills a dying kid.
566
00:36:51,813 --> 00:36:55,249
Warren knew what Ted did to you.
567
00:36:55,333 --> 00:36:59,121
- Did you tell him?
- I didn't have to. He saw one night.
568
00:36:59,213 --> 00:37:02,888
Ted hit me, and Warren...
569
00:37:05,453 --> 00:37:08,490
- Warren ran away.
- Why didn't you go to the police?
570
00:37:08,573 --> 00:37:12,168
Because... it's not all the time.
571
00:37:12,253 --> 00:37:18,123
It's just when things go bad and he's
under a lot of strain. Ted has a bad temper.
572
00:37:18,213 --> 00:37:23,162
- Warren wanted to rescue you.
- Oh, my God.
573
00:37:23,253 --> 00:37:28,088
He probably just wanted to intimidate
your husband. Stop him from attacking you.
574
00:37:28,173 --> 00:37:31,210
Warren stabbed your husband in the arm
with the knife.
575
00:37:31,293 --> 00:37:33,045
Ted took the knife away from him.
576
00:37:33,133 --> 00:37:37,126
It wouldn't have been hard.
The boy was very ill.
577
00:37:37,213 --> 00:37:39,249
After that, it's like you said.
578
00:37:39,333 --> 00:37:41,927
Your husband has a bad temper.
579
00:37:53,413 --> 00:37:57,804
# And all my sorrows awaken
580
00:37:59,893 --> 00:38:05,013
