We'll be meeting with agents from the FAA, the NTSB and local police.
- Booth handles them. - Plane crashes don't belong to the FBI.
Why not? FAA is Federal Aviation Administration.
The NTSB stands for National Transportation Safety Board. That sounds federal. And FBI...
Zack.
- Investigating without Booth, I don't like it. - Why? He mostly ignores you.
Ignoring me is Booth's way of acknowledging my presence. It's a guy thing.
Here we are.
- Dr Brennan? - Yes.
- I'm lan Dyson with the NTSB. - This is my assistant, Zack Addy.
At approximately 0400 last night a private jet with five passengers on board
reported horizontal stabiliser trouble 200 miles southeast of Norfolk.
Yeager Airport tracked them for 30 minutes
until they dropped off the radar screen at 0430.
The plane tried to land here when it clipped some trees and slammed to the ground.
We found another mostly intact body over near the trees. The rest is bits and pieces.
- What makes this one of our cases? - I beg your pardon?
We're kind of special. We're elite. We don't sort through just any set of bodies.
It was a State Department flight with a bunch of VIPs on board. Special enough?
I apologise if I've offended you.
Usually we have an FBI agent who mediates our interpersonal encounters.
- We found another skull. - Two skulls.
Those pieces are from two different skulls.
I'll leave you super-elite types to it.
Zack, we don't need Booth to "mediate our interpersonal encounters".
OK. Pilot, copilot.
Brings our count to six.
Three mostly intact sets of remains, one partial and two fragmented.
Obviously bodies are burned to a crisp.
No dermis, very little soft tissue.
Indications of high impact trauma.
Fractures of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae
consistent with injuries caused by the impact of the falling aircraft.
Should I keep talking as though you're paying attention?
What do you make of this?
- Femur fragment. - No charring.
- You think this doesn't belong to the crash. - What are the odds?
Of a crashing plane falling directly on a human being?
One in ten million.
What I am about to tell you must not leave this room.
I am philosophically opposed to institutional secrecy in all forms.
Fine. Get out.
Two Communist Chinese trade attachés were on that plane.
- Both high-ranking party members. - Obviously we shot it down.
The FAA and the NTSB can prove that it was an accident.
Also on the manifest was an American businessman, a pilot and a copilot.
- Five people. - Dr Goodman.
We found six sets of human remains on that airplane.
And three bone fragments which were not on the plane.
- Is there any chance they were on the plane? - As carry-on luggage?
No. Everything on the plane burned. They were untouched by fire.
Forget about the bone fragments for the time being.
The State Department is anxious to find the identity of that sixth person.
No one wishes this to be an international incident, therefore this is our only priority.
- I disagree. - For the love of God, why?
Because the plane crash was an accident. The bone fragments were not.
- How do you know? - Zack found unusual cut marks.
Cut marks congruent with dismemberment.
People, one hour ago I received a call from the secretary of state
requesting that the unidentified extra passenger be our first priority.
So now politics are more important than murder?
I'm not saying please or being reasonable. I'm making the decision.
First and foremost, identify that sixth body.
- You got it, or you want me to explain again? - No, I got it, OK? The plane goes down.
There's an extra body you don't care about
cos you're more interested in these bone fragments that you found.
- Exactly. - Oh. This all you got?
So far. A piece of skull, a chunk of vertebra, part of a femur.
- Not much to go on. - These come from a person who was hacked.
- Hacked to little bits? - No, medium-size bits.
- I'm not sure how it turned into little bits yet. - OK, and I'm here why?
- Dismemberment, little bits... It's a murder. - FBI has no jurisdiction at a golf course.
- Who does? - I don't know. Try the PGA.
Uh-huh. You know, you've done a couple of cases without me and you miss me.
- Zack misses you. - Zack and I don't even talk.
- He thinks it's a male bonding ritual. - Maybe.
- No. - Could be.
- You just told him that. - It was nicer than shooting him.
Hm! Goodman has ordered me to investigate the other extra body.
You better get on that. Next time you miss me, call me. We'll do lunch or something.
- I do not miss you. - You miss me. Say it.
- I do not miss you. - Dr Brennan, Agent Booth, you have a visitor.
- No, I don't. - You miss me. You miss me.
- Dr Temperance Brennan? - Yes.
- Agent Seeley Booth, I'm Jesse Kane. - You're Jesse Kane?
- You've heard of me? - I haven't.
Jesse here's an expert on missing persons cases.
I've written on missing person laws and investigative techniques,
interagency cooperation, jurisdictional dispute.
- I heard about the bones you found. - I can't really talk about that.
- I don't mean the Communist Chinese. - Whoa, whoa, whoa. Communist Chinese?
- The other bones. The fragments. - How did you hear about the Chinese?
Those pieces of bone you found at the golf course,
I'm pretty sure that's my dad.
My expertise in missing persons derives from one thing - my search for my father.
He went missing five years ago during a trip to Virginia Beach.
What makes you think the fragments are your father?
There is a question of national security. He's not supposed to know about the Chinese.
My investigations lead me to conclude my father was murdered and his body disposed.
- And the police? - They gave up four years ago.
- No evidence of foul play. - The investigation was bungled.
The city police didn't have the manpower, state troopers said it was federal,
and you suggested a private investigator.
It was not bungled, OK? Because there was no evidence of foul play. It's a common story.
A guy goes in for a pack of cigarettes, he ends up renting out snorkelling gear in Guam.
He doesn't know what it's like to lose a parent. You do.
- You wanna back down there? - How do you know about that?
No offence, but you're a writer, a well-known scientist. It's out there.
- Plus, you're one of us. - One of us?
People whose loved ones have vanished. Both your parents.
OK. How do you know about the Chinese? Do not look at Dr Brennan, OK?
Whether you like it or not, this is an issue between you and the FBI.
If body parts are found where my father disappeared, I know.
Radio chatter, the internet, law enforcement...
That's all I'm prepared to tell you. You mind if I ask how many bone fragments you found?
Yes, I do. I don't discuss ongoing investigations.
She doesn't discuss ongoing investigations.
Fair enough. These are my notes from the last five years.
Every lead, clue, every person I've talked with is here.
- And why would Dr Brennan care about that? - Cos it will give her a candidate to eliminate.
He's got a point.
My father's medical records, pictures, last known whereabouts,
even a connection to the golf course.
Also my phone number.
But don't worry. If I don't hear from you, you'll hear from me.
Wow. Pushy.
Maybe he discovered being pushy gets cops to pay attention.
- What are you hawking at me for? - The Chinese, plane crash, that's geopolitics.
This is murder.
Will you help?
Well, you know, I guess if you're really asking me,
I guess I could, you know, fudge it with my boss
to make it look like it was attached to the Chinese plane crash thing.
- We've made progress on the passenger. - Fill me in.
Nasal ridges indicate she was a Caucasoid female approximately 5' 10".
Epiphyseal fusion puts her age somewhere between 20 to 25.
- I have a theory. - Femme fatale assassin.
- Unregistered flight attendant. - Young, beautiful girl,
doesn't appear on the in-flight manifest, group of high-powered politicos?
- Oh. - Wait, what? What?
Someone might've been doing his daughter's girlfriend a favour.
- You're so sweet, honey. You really are. - Oh!
You think she was the in-flight entertainment.
Anything you want to tell us about the bone bits you care about?
Supraorbital margin is rounded, suggesting a male.
There are signs of osteophytic lipping or polish on this piece of vertebra.
- Arthritis. - So middle-aged guy.
Weathering and discoloration suggest these bones have been out there
for approximately five years.
- I'm going to ask you to help me on this. - You mean after the Communist thing?
- No, immediately. - I'm in.
- You want us to defy Dr Goodman? - I'm in.
Not defy per se. Do both jobs but... but keep one a secret.
- I'm in. - We get it. You're a rebel.
Zack, I need you to analyse the cuts on the bone.
I was kinda hoping to keep my job.
There's not enough skull here for me to do a reconstruction.
If I gave you a picture you could tell me if it doesn't match?
I could construct a schematic and see if the shard fit the skull's shape, if I had a picture.
Has anyone noticed that I was the first to offer help and apparently I'm useless?
Not true. You're the one that's going to keep Goodman from finding out.
I'm in.
The fragments are the same sex and age as my father.
- Yes. - Thank you.
- It's a long way from conclusive. - Yeah.
I know at times like these not to get hopeful, but on the other hand you gotta have hope.
- Even after five years? - People are found after decades.
After centuries. You've done some of the finding.
Booth says you've made a living off of the disappearance of your father.
Six months after my father disappeared, I found out nobody was looking for him.
Next thing, I was an expert in motivating the police, victims' rights.
Becoming well known is a by-product of my search for my father, not the goal.
You should understand my motivation better than most.
I'm not really interested in bonding over the loss of my parents.
- Booth is looking over your file now. - I wasn't looking for his help.
We work together. Booth knows the bone fragments are evidence of foul play.
That's all the motivation he needed.
You didn't have to lean on him?
Not at all.
If you say so.
One fragment has distinctive ridge-mark indentations.
- Knife mark. - Specifically a carving knife.
What about the other ones, the jagged marks?
Some kind of machine blade.
What? Like a... a jigsaw or a chainsaw?
Are you suggesting a Chinese diplomat was wielding a chainsaw?
Good one, sir. Very droll. Zack knows much more about this than I do.
We weren't discussing a literal chainsaw cut but rather the pattern it leaves on the bone.
Right? Zack?
- Blades move in several distinctive ways. - Several distinctive ways.
Circular, elliptical, segmented. Chainsaws cut soft materials at high sped.
When cutting hard materials they create wave-edged walls. This pattern's too linear.
Therefore, no Chinese chainsaw massacre scenario.
Hm.
Fascinating. What has it to do with the victims of the plane crash?
We have to reassemble the crash victims and figure out how their remains were scattered.
Not by being cut up, that's for sure.
Now we've eliminated blades.
- Never freeze on me again. - I find Dr Goodman scary.
Well, I'm never trusting any of us again. We're that good at lying, huh?
We're gonna do much better.
Well, you know, I have to admit Jesse Kane's file on his father
is both well organised and complete. Yep.
- His main suspect is his father's girlfriend. - Karen Anderson.
No alibi. Since they were living together at the time of the disappearance,
she remains in the house and has access to their joint accounts.
- How much money are we talking about? - Max Kane was a stock broker.
He was worth millions. But after seven years missing, the courts will declare him dead,
but by that time she could've siphoned out most of the money.
So I say we go visit Ms Anderson and we'll know pretty fast if she's a suspect.
- How? - How? Subtle psychological indicators.
I looked those up on the internet. Body language, sweat, tonal quality, shifty eyes...
Hey, I don't go poking around your bone stuff, OK? Just leave the human stuff to me.
Why is Max's disappearance an FBI matter?
- Max's disappearance is not an FBI matter. - You're an FBI agent.
Human remains were found during a federal investigation.
Agent Booth is tasked with the job of identifying them.
I'd like to eliminate Max Kane as a possibility and move on altogether.
- So this is a pro forma interview? - Yes. Yes, absolutely.
Because I know Max's son Jesse accuses me of Max's murder.
- Why do you think he suspects you? - Because of the age difference,
because I'm still living in the house.
Because after five years I fell in love with someone new. Who knows?
Some people find it harder than others to get over the loss of a loved one.
- Bones. - What?
Jesse got to you, didn't he?
Yeah. The dimples and the sad smile and melancholy,
on a mission to find his beloved father and all that.
Jesse didn't love his father?
Max and Jesse didn't speak for the two years before Max disappeared,
and that was before I came into his life.
- What do you think caused the rift? - Max cut Jesse off financially.
Max thought Jesse was lazy, running around New York doing nothing with his life.
Well, Jesse was furious.
Hack marks were caused by a heidel carving knife.
The osteological profile suggests postmortem freezing.
Max Kane disappeared midwinter. What about the jagged cut marks?
This is the part that makes me queasy.
The victim was frozen, dismembered,
- and fed into a wood chipper. - And spread over a golf course.
Either talk loudly enough so I can hear all the way or whisper so I can't.
Maybe if we told Goodman this he'd authorise a change in priorities.
- Or he'd suspend us all for defying him. - Angela's right.
We're gonna drop this and get back to what Dr Goodman told us to do in the first place?
No. We are going to keep doing what we're doing behind Goodman's back.
That's the spirit!
Yeah, it's true.
My father cut me off financially. I take it you talked to Karen.
- Is there anything else you failed to mention? - I know I didn't kill my father,
so I'd rather you didn't waste your time on that line of investigation.
Too late. What happened between you and your father?
I was enrolled at NYU, but all I really did was go clubbing and have a good time.
My father was right to cut me off. I was a disappointment to him.
- But if he could see you now... - I like to think he can see me now.
Your father is dead. A dead person can't see anything.
Maybe that's true. Maybe it isn't.
But either way, at least I know my dad would be proud.
Bones, tell Jesse what happened to the victim.
- Really? - What?
Usually you tell me not to tell people.
Well, it can't be worse than some of the things that I've imagined.
The victim was frozen, dismembered and fed through a wood chipper.
Bones has figured out what type of wood chipper was used.
We'll see if one was sold in Virginia Beach.
I can't believe someone would do that to my dad.
We haven't identified the victim as your father.
I have our artist comparing the skull fragment to pictures of your dad.
Could I see the bone fragments?
- This is all of him? - Yes.
I mean...
It's all of somebody.
He was a big man, my dad.
It's hard to believe that this is all that's left of him.
How can you get anything from three small bits of bone?
It's more than a lot of people get.
I know where my dad was right before he disappeared.
I know my dad met with a client at the North Star Grill in Virginia Beach.
I know he had meat loaf.
I know he was supposed to meet Karen at the pier but he didn't show up.
I know she waited two days... before reporting him gone.
I have a good timeline.
And I have three small bits of bone.
You don't have any of those things and I realise how hopeless you must feel.
Come with me.
This is all you have?
Yes. You were right about how little it is.
No, I mean this is simply your copy of the official file.
Yes. What else would there be?
You never tried to hire any private investigators? Did any poking around?
Well, I'm pretty new at field work. I've mostly been a lab rat my whole career.
Plus, I trusted the authorities would do what they could.
The authorities have rooms filled with files like these, warehouses.
- I'm the authorities. Booth is the authorities. - Did you ever show this file to Booth?
No. No.
This is where I work.
Uh, which is my cue.
Uh...
Um, Angela, come in. This is Jesse Kane.
- Hello. - Hi.
Hi. Angela Montenegro.
- What's that? - Oh, uh, nothing that can't wait.
Is it about my father?
As far as I know, which is quite far, believe me,
no one has tried to kiss Brennan in this office and lived to tell.
Angela...
Would one of you please tell me what that piece of paper is?
It's a, uh... it's a schematic comparing the skull fragment we found on the golf course
- to pictures of your father. - And?
It doesn't not match your father.
So it could be him?
Yeah. There's a pretty good chance.
I knew it.
- Are you hooking up? - We didn't arrange anything.
- Why not? - Cos you were there, hovering.
- I was not. I was being your wingman. - What's that?
I was rendering assistance and enabling where needed.
Booth thinks he might be a suspect.
Now you're just looking for excuses not to get involved.
Plane crash victim number four, Captain Jacob Howard, pilot, age 47.
Height five foot six, weight approximately 167Ib.
Overlay the photograph.
Frontozygomatic sutures line up.
- Cranial meninges are in sync. - Excellent. That's one more off the list.
Victim number five, Shan Woo Fong, age 56.
Height five foot six, weight approximately 140Ib.
That's terrific, except we knew all of these people were on the plane.
What the State Department wants to know is the identity of our mystery woman.
I hope I can count on your full energies on this.
If I can be completely honest, sir...
Toxicology reports came back from all six victims. Pilot and copilot were clean.
Our two Chinese nationals had elevated levels of alcohol and sildenafil, or Viagra.
And our mystery girl showed traces of alcohol and cocaine.
So, will the cover-up start now or somewhere between here and the State Department?
- You were saying about being honest? - Yes. Regarding the bone shards...
The prostitute was six inches taller and she had occupational stress markers.
Let's not call her a prostitute yet, Mr Addy. What occupational markers?
- It's a foot thing. - She was a fetishist?
Both her cuboid and medial malleolus show signs of wear.
You can relax, Dr Goodman. She wore extremely high stiletto heels.
I reconstructed her face from the partial skull.
- She was hot. - What's our next move?
We match this reconstruction with escort ads, both internet and print, in the DC area.
Oh, I'll do that.
What? Was that overly enthusiastic?
Thank you for the update.
- This case continues to be your top priority? - If I could suggest...
Dr Brennan has been very clear about your priorities on this, sir.
What's that?
The only Blackmantis wood chipper in Virginia Beach.
I got the records from the manufacturer and traced it back to the yard.
- We couldn't find any blood residue. - That makes sense if the corpse was frozen.
Yeah. Not to mention this has ground up about 10,000 trees.
I figured you could match the blades to the cuts on the bones.
Or do something I haven't thought of much more confusing and scientific.
Booth, you're working this case?
Only two people have had access to this machine.
A foreman and a maintenance worker named Ray Sparks. Sparks has a jacket.
What do you say? You want to come with me to go talk to him?
Told you. It's a guy thing.
- Yes, I'd like to come. - All right. Here we go.
Let Angela do the matching. I have something more interesting for you.
- More interesting than escorts? - Run a dispersal test on the chipper.
- Using what medium? - Assume the victim was frozen solid.
- No way! - Correct response would be "Yes way".
Yes way.
You ignore Zack to make him think you've got some special bond.
- But it works. I'm happy, he's happy. - It's not the truth.
But it works. Ray Sparks, I'd like to have a word with you.
Zack wants to fit into the real world more than anything. You're not helping.
- FBI. Special Agent Booth.
He went around the back.
No, no. The other way, Bones.
FBI. Freeze.
- Bones, jeez.
- Ray Sparks? - Hey, I didn't do nothing wrong!
- I feel like kicking him. - That's normal after a pursuit. We try not to.
How are we gonna keep this from Dr Goodman?
Ah, he's having lunch with the president of Harvard.
What's going on? Why is every guy from the Jeffersonian out here?
They're scientists. This is a fascinating inquiry.
Oh, my God.
They're all out here because you're gonna feed something through this wood chipper.
Not just something.
Ta-da! A frozen pig!
Ugh.
Pig bones are almost identical to human bones.
By feeding the pig through the chipper we can determine a dispersal pattern.
By comparing the pig's remains to the fragments found at the golf course
we'll know if this is the chipper Max was fed through.
Liars. You just want to see what happens when you toss a pig into a wood chipper.
Ready? One!
Two!
Three!
OK. What do we got here? Breaking and entering, assault, drunk, disorderly. Wow.
I've been keeping myself out of trouble for the past four years.
- How long you been a maintenance worker? - Since '92.
- You ever meet a guy named Max Kane? - No.
- Karen Anderson? - Yeah, I know her.
- How? - She bartends at the golf course.
You don't strike me as a golfer, Ray.
City land is right across the creek from the course
and I go to the clubhouse a couple times a week to have lunch.
How did you pay for that house you live in? That's pretty nice.
You got a hard time sticking to one topic, huh? My mom left me the house.
She left it to me and my brother Frank five years ago.
Five years ago Max Kane disappeared. Karen's boyfriend.
So you can see how my suspicions might be a little aroused.
You know, but the thing is, I didn't live in Virginia Beach five years ago.
I was in Southampton Correctional Center
doing six months for skipping out on a DUI warrant.
Guess I don't need a lawyer, right?
There's no way that chipper experiment was connected to the plane crash.
- Look... - Don't say anything. Just listen.
Your primary job is to do as I say. Failing that, your job is to fool me.
- You failed to fool me, Dr Hodgins. - I'd have fooled you if you'd gone to lunch.
I'll find some way to punish you.
Parking, dining privileges, budget reviews. If it happens again...
- I got it. - No.
You don't.
You think I'm a kind and fair man.
Egoless, balanced, ruled by intelligent reflection.
But I do have an ego.
I can be vindictive and petty.
I will take you down
even if it means striking at you through your friends and co-workers.
Now you understand.
Ray Sparks was in jail when your father disappeared.
He might have put Karen in touch with the hit man.
One of the things you lecture about is that the simplest theory is usually true.
- Usually, not always. - What's the simplest theory in this case?
Disowned son realises that his father may remarry...
Booth, are you accusing Jesse of murdering his own father for money?
- Ever hear of the Menendez brothers? - I came to you about the bones.
Your father is declared dead, you get your inheritance before Karen spends it all.
You don't seem too upset about that.
For fours years I've been making enemies with law enforcement.
Attacking me is a pretty typical response.
Is this one of those times when you just poke to get reactions?
Listen, Bones. We have to treat him like a suspect. He is not a member of the team.
Look. I'm like you. I need the truth.
I have to get back to the lab.
Satellite imagery of the golf course.
These three dots show where the bone fragments were found.
Can you show me the results of the wood chipper test?
The V shape indicates the maximum distance a bone fragment could've travelled
given similar wind speeds and temperatures.
OK, and remove the plane crash. It's irrelevant to this.
The question is, in order to use the guys' pig-grinding experiment,
where do we place the wood chipper?
I bet the murderer aimed the wood chipper over the stream.
So the evidence would wash away.
Mm-hm.
What's that?
That is a small access road for maintenance vehicles.
Try putting the wood chipper there.
Oh, frisson of success.
We should see if we can find any more bone fragments here and here.
Are we closer to identifying our mystery woman?
Um, I'm not... I'm not certain.
- Brennan is still waiting for an update. - I saw you come in, sir.
I have a list of possible matches on our geisha in the sky.
She is Caucasian. Our mystery woman is definitely Caucasian.
We sent a list to the FBI. They're checking it.
Ah. Well, in that case, you might want to turn your attention back to the bone fragments.
I came for the file on my parents.
- You think I might've killed my father. - No. It's just...
I asked the wrong person to help me, and...
What?
I just don't think it's healthy, what you're doing. Putting your whole life into this.
And I suppose the way you're doing it,
putting nothing into solving the disappearance of your parents,
I suppose that's healthy?
We're searching the golf course for more bone fragments.
# I've got this feeling that there's something that I missed
# I could do most anything to you
# Don't you breathe
# I could do most anything to you
# Something happened that I never understood
# I could do most anything to you
# You can't leave
# I could do most anything to you
We found a piece of finger with the nail attached, and underneath...
Polyurethane. The tough stuff.
The victim was scraping at something before he died.
I can't identify this bone anomaly.
It's full of osteoids, thick. Maybe part of the mandible.
Human, something odd with the cell structure.
- A wood chipper wouldn't do that. - It's a nonmalignant bone tumour.
I need the most recent bone scans from Max Kane's medical records.
Hodgins.
It's Booth.
The locals arrested Jesse for attacking Karen Anderson.
Jesse showed up at Karen's house to confront her.
He was ranting about his dad. Eddie tried to throw him out. They exchanged punches.
- That doesn't mean he isn't the killer. - I know.
He might have done this just to make us think that he was angry at her, all right? He's smart.
Do you think Jesse murdered his father?
Bones, all I'm saying is we look into murders, we can't let our heartstrings get all plucked.
We poke at people's wounds, make 'em bleed a little.
Make 'em tell us things that they normally wouldn't tell us.
We gotta be willing to be hard on them, even when we know we're no different than them.
- You didn't answer my question. - Well, I have an opinion. You want to know?
- I'd say he didn't do it. - Me too.
I'm going off my gut. I mean, what... what's persuading you?
The bone fragments at the golf course, they didn't come from Max Kane.
That's great. You knew that when you asked me what I thought.
You testing out my instincts, Bones?
Poking and prodding.
I learned from the best.
It's not my dad?
- No. We don't know who it is yet. - How can you be certain?
We found a juxtacortical chondroma, a nonmalignant bone tumour.
- Your dad's X-rays showed no sign of one. - Maybe he got it after the X-rays.
The X-rays were taken two months before he disappeared.
It's a slow-growing tumour. It would've taken years to get to the size and density we found.
Look, I'm gonna see if I can get this assault stuff to go away and get you out of here.
I'm sorry, Jesse.
For what?
Suspecting that I killed my own father?
No. I'm not sorry for that.
I know what it's like not to know what happened.
I know how painful that can be.
And I'm sorry for you.
If the bones aren't Kane's who's our dead guy?
Send out a description of the chondroma to hospitals, see if it leads to missing patients.
Yeah, we can do that. List the pertinents.
Me? Are you talking directly to me?
Yeah. My eyes are looking at you, my mouth is aimed in your direction.
But what about our guy thing? If you're speaking to me,
then does this mean I'm not on the team?
Zack, let's concentrate on the work.
- Pertinents? - Pertinents.
The victim died. We don't know how. He was frozen, dismembered with a carving knife
and pushed through a Blackmantis 1200 wood chipper.
The exact chipper you fed the frozen pig through.
- The exact chipper Ray Sparks had access to. - But Ray Sparks was in jail.
- Ray was in jail when Max disappeared. - Our victim isn't Max.
Who else would Ray Sparks have motive to kill?
- The victim is a middle-aged male... - His brother.
- What motive? - They both inherited the house.
OK, you guys, you look at that tumour, and Bones and I will go talk to Ray. Come on.
- While you're there, look for a large freezer. - Why?
- The body was frozen. - Polyurethane is a common liner in freezers.
We found it under the victim's fingernail, like he was scratching to get out.
The detectives say Sparks claims his brother was alive and well the last time he saw him.
He might've been for 30 minutes until he ran out of air in here.
My guys found claw marks on the inner linings on both sides.
What kind of person could lock a living human being in a freezer?
- What is that? - A fingernail.
His own brother.
Hey.
Booth got you out.
1200 bucks bail. I promised to stay away from Karen and Eddie.
We solved the case.
I'm sorry it's not your father.
We identified the victim.
His name was Frank Sparks.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you, Jesse.
How do you live with it?
- What? The disappearance of my parents? - The fact that nobody's looking.
I never thought about it that way until I met you.
There's a Zen koan.
It says that if you want to find something,
you have to stop looking.
I can't do that. My dad's watching and I don't want to disappoint him again.
Even if you don't believe it, I know your parents are somewhere proud of what you do.
That's not rational but...
I love the thought of that.
- How did Jesse take it? - Like an orphan.
- What? - That's just... That's a little poetic for you.
I didn't mean it that way.
- I want to ask you a favour. - Oh, jeez. Another favour.
I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look at this.
File on your parents?
Yeah, OK.
Do you want to think about it? It's a pretty big favour.
You'd do it for me.
Yeah, I would.
I'm proud you asked, Temperance.
Uh, Dr Brennan? Uh, Angela wants to know if we should order anything for you.
No, I'm not staying. Thanks, Zack.
Guess we caught another one, right? All for one and one for all?
I'll take a look at this and see what they didn't give you, and I'll get back to you, OK?
Back to ignoring Zack?
All right, look. I know you don't approve but, you know, it works for us.
- It worked for him, so I... - Yeah, I get it.
And it... it's kinda sweet.
Hey, you know, your people are my people.
I have "people"?
Hey,
I have people.
# Is there anybody in there?
# How do you feel?
# Are you aware
# When you lay your head to sleep at night?
# How do you breathe?
# How can you live
# In a world made of make-believe?
# How do you dream?
