We're lost. We're totally lost.
We're fine, Tracey.
I told you hiking was crazy.
We should have just bought plaid shirts and gone to a resort.
We'll hit the trail as long as we keep heading west, and we're heading west.
You don't know that, Michael.
Tracey, that's the sun. So that's south, and that's west.
That's what you say.
It's not my opinion. It has to do with the position of the sun.
Oh, please. This whole direction thing is totally arbitrary.
We're lost, and we're gonna die out here...
and they're gonna find our bones one day, and I hate you.
You know what? Just follow me, or they will find your bones, because I'll kill you.
Now come on!
Great.
Oh, God. It's starting to rain?
- Look. There's a cave over there. - A cave?
Look. If you don't like it, then stay out here.
Well, don't leave me all alone.
Oh, we are so totally gonna die.
- You bastard. - We are not gonna die.
Says you.
Oh, my God. We're totally gonna die!
- So, have you talked to Hannah since you got back? - Oh, yeah. A couple times.
She said she's waitin' for her new assignment. Probably, uh, Southern Iraq.
I find it anomalous that you would leave her...
since you believe so emphatically in the mythic powers of love.
- Do you understand what she's sayin'? - Just nod.
Well, I'm just saying that you wanted to fall in love, and you did in Afghanistan.
- You were in Afghanistan? - Yeah. I just got back.
Ah. I, uh, was stationed as a staff sergeant in Kandahar.
Served with my brother in '04.
- I'm a- Well, I was a Ranger. - You guys were awesome.
- Yeah? - My brother didn't make it back.
Oh. Sorry.
It's worse for his wife and kid.
I take care of her now.
Sorry. I didn't mean to bring us down.
- You were, uh, sayin' somethin' about a woman you left behind? - Oh, I didn't leave her behind.
- It was her decision to stay. - Well, maybe you didn't really love her.
No, I- I do love her. I do.
- So, is this the cave entrance? - This is it.
This one is a male. Late 20s, early 30s.
This is a female. Same approximate age.
Kind of sad the way they're holdin' each other, right?
- Yeah. What happened there, Bones? - Well, multiple fractures.
More severe on the female. Appears they've been bludgeoned.
Oh- It's like he- he couldn't let her go.
Well, it would appear that way.
Wouldn't make any comparisons with your current situation.
Oh. Uh, thanks for that. Thank you.
Maggots and other insect activity seem to have cleaned the bodies of tissue.
Some of the bone of the skull as well.
Yeah, that'll happen pretty fast out here.
Well, it makes determining time of death more difficult.
I'll need the remains transported back to the Jeffersonian...
along with the rocks and the surrounding soil.
Right. Maybe you can lead the forensics team, Sarge. All right? So nobody gets lost.
- Yeah. - Let's go.
- Careful of your head. - Yeah. All right.
Great. So the forensic team says the remains should be at the lab in a couple of hours.
Seems like we were never away from each other, doesn't it?
Yeah. Are you okay with that?
- Of course. Why? - Why? Because seven months ago...
you said you didn't wanna be surrounded by, you know, crime and death and sadness.
Well, I needed some time to rationally assess the best use of my considerable skills.
Factoring in that we have such a strong and mutually beneficial relationship...
I concluded that I could be most useful solving crimes.
Right. So you're happy to be working together.
- That's what I just said. - Great. Me too.
So, do you miss her?
Yeah. Of course I do.
Well, if there's anything that I can do-
You know, I didn't leave Hannah.
You know, I had to come back here because of Parker.
I know.
I couldn't ask her to leave any more than she could get me to stay.
I- I'm sorry I brought it up.
Oh, my God.
Hannah. Hey.
- Oh! What are you doin' here? - We can talk in a minute.
I put in a request to be assigned to the Washington press corps.
That's something you said you'd never do.
That was before I realized how much I hated waking up alone.
Hello.
I'm Temperance Brennan.
Ah. I've heard a lot about you. Hannah Burley.
I assumed.
Yeah.
I was passed over for a promotion in Chicago.
And when I heard Dr. Brennan was back...
I just jumped at the chance to work here again.
That shows excellent judgment.
Most of the fractures on the female...
are localized to the left posterior side.
There are multiple breaks on the femur, pelvis, vertebrae.
So, what was it like to meet Hannah?
Oh, she seems very pleasant and attractive.
Her face fits comfortably within the golden ratio.
So you guys did math together.
No. The golden ratio is a formula that determines beauty.
One to 1.618.
For instance, the width of the mouth to the width of the cheek.
So she's hot.
I see some, uh, particulates here, Dr. Hodgins.
You know, if we still care about finding out what happened to these poor people.
I just assumed that when you guys got back from your trip, you'd be a real couple.
- We were never a couple. - Dr. Saroyan, you assured me...
that you would try to keep this workplace professional.
And I will, Dr. Edison.
No, no. No. You were a couple.
You just weren't having sex.
- Were you jealous? - Of course not.
I'm happy for Booth. Why would I be jealous?
Because it's obvious you and Agent Booth were attracted to each other.
I mean, a blind man could see that.
I just couldn't understand why you two...
just didn't rip each other's clothes off.
I mean, just get all butt naked and-
Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Uh-
I'm- I'm sorry. Uh, I-
It just popped out, okay? You guys weren't focusing.
Dude. A little self-control.
- I hitched a ride on a C-130 coming back from Baghdad. - Oh. Oh.
We got fired on twice.
I was sitting next to some guy from AP who wet his brand-new fatigues.
I can't believe you're here. It's so strange.
Truthfully, baby, neither can I.
Are you sure that the press corps...
is gonna be exciting enough for you?
I'll make sure it is.
God, I missed you.
Mmm. Ah, I wish I could take some time off...
but we're just in the middle of a double homicide.
Forget it. We have all the time in the world now.
They put me up at the Dupont Hotel.
Call me when you're free.
All right. Dupont. Place is a dump.
All right. Listen. Stop by later, okay?
Here's my key- to my place. What you gotta do...
is you gotta just get it in there, and you gotta move it left to right...
- and when you hear the lock pop- - Yeah?
- just give it a kick. - That sounds filthy.
- I should go. - See ya later.
- Sorry. Is this a bad time? - No. Come on in.
Come on in. Come in. How can I help you?
I thought your girl was still in Afghanistan.
She surprised me.
That explains the grin.
I'll make this quick. A guy I work with...
told me about another murder out there almost 10 years ago.
Some squatter lived out in the woods.
He went after someone that he thought was trespassing.
- On federal land? - Yeah. Well...
the squatter didn't recognize the federal government.
Anyway, he beat this guy so bad, he- he died.
I just wanted to give you a copy of the- of the original file.
- Why didn't you just call me? - Yeah, I could've.
When I heard we were both combat vets...
I guess I wanted in on a little bit more action than I get out in the park.
You know, look. We both have our jurisdictions. I can't authorize you to-
No, I just thought that-
No. I-I understand. You're right. Sorry.
Tell you what. When I'm in the park, you're my guy.
Thanks.
Thanks for this.
It's just that, uh, I always felt...
there was somethin' more I could've done for my brother...
and maybe he'd still be here.
I guess I'm still just tryin' to do that little something extra is all.
We always feel that way when we lose someone.
Yeah.
Hey. Tell you what. While you're here, why don't you go pick up an application?
The Bureau's always looking for a few good men.
And, I mean, with your service record-
Tell Jenny in Personnel that I sent ya.
I will. Thanks.
Okay. That's gross.
Vacuuming their noses-
or what used to be their noses- is fun. Want to help?
You are not playing with our children without supervision.
I'm retrieving pollen that would've been present when they took their last breath.
And I can match that with the daily pollen count chart that the Forest Service keeps.
Ah. Which gives us an accurate time of death.
Suddenly what I'm doing is pretty cool, isn't it?
Hmm. Kind of. A little.
- Yeah. - Mmm.
How are you feeling? The baby making you sick today?
Well, the only place I'm not nauseous is here...
which is weird, because this place always used to make me sick before.
Well, when you feel better, we can take off for our "babymoon."
Babymoon?
Yeah. You know, last trip before we lose all freedom and become our parents...
which in your case is okay, because, you know, your dad is pretty cool.
Well, we should go back to Paris.
Oh, but of course. Where else?
And you get to eat whatever you like, because you're gonna look like the Hindenburg anyway.
Nice. Nice.
More to love. You know.
- More to love. - Hmm.
Did you I.D. the victim yet?
Well, sort of.
The woman is Hillary Fuller.
I got a match through the D.M. V...
which led to a Missing Persons report filed by her boss.
But the guy's skull was a little bit harder.
George Clooney.
Victim's skull was funky, so this was the best that I could do.
O victim, who art thou?
- Oh! Agent Booth. - No.
- "No" what? - I'm not gonna talk about Hannah.
Oh, I just want you to know that I understand this could be a loaded situation.
- And if you need any help- - Maybe you should take care of your own house first.
I imagine you're referring to me and Daisy.
Yeah, that whole on-again, off-again thing- that's not good.
I know. I know. I'm trying to deal with it.
But I find that, if I consider making a clean break, you know...
- although it opens up my world sexually- - Oh!
- I might lose- - You're seriously talking about that now?
No. No. Of course not.
- That's good. Good, pal. - But to wrap up-
- Yeah. - Daisy and I have no obligations to each other.
No commitments. You know, we're just- we're just riding that wave.
Ride the wave. You hang ten. I'm gonna go try and solve a murder, okay?
Don't forget the S.P.F.
- So, you reported Hillary Fuller missing. - Yes.
She was my marketing manager.
Um, she'd only worked for me for a few months...
but, uh, it wasn't like her to just disappear.
So I called her place, her cell, and I got worried.
Right. Do you take an interest in all your employees?
What do you mean?
Oh, well, you're single. Hillary's very attractive.
Hey. I came down here to help. Now I'm a suspect?
Why are you so defensive? I'm just asking a question.
Look. Hillary- she seemed great.
We went out to lunch a couple times. She put on the brakes.
And you were okay with that?
Yes. Yes. She didn't want to get involved. It's cool. I'm a big boy.
You recognize this man?
Sure. It's George Clooney.
- She was killed by George Clooney? - It's not Clooney.
It's the other victim.
You know what I think? I think Hillary and this man...
were killed by somebody who was very jealous.
I reported her missing, remember?
I do. I remember. Yeah.
I'm here at the U.S. base in Afghanistan's Khost Province-
She is hot.
Yes. She's in Afghanistan.
The temperature is frequently over a hundred degrees.
- No. Attractive hot. Sexy hot. - Of course.
So, Booth seems happy with her, right?
Yes. He always wanted to find someone to share his life.
I don't think he expected it to happen like this.
Just like you.
Like me?
Well, you've also found a mate...
although you never expected to be in a long-term monogamous relationship.
Yeah. Well, love sort of decided that for me.
Like Cam. She never expected to be a parent.
So, I'm the only one living the life I expected.
Well, how's that, honey?
It's, um-
It's as I expected.
I have time of- Whoa.
Wow. Is that her?
Don't drool, Hodgins.
Huh?
No. No. No. Only when I look at you, Angie.
May I? I, uh, found time of death.
I cross-referenced the pollen from the nasal cavity...
with the pollen charts at the Forest Service.
They died two weeks ago, on the 13th.
I'll tell Booth.
The person might have gained entry onto the base.
This is the third time this year a suicide bomber has struck-
- She's not that great really. You know. - Hmm.
Homely. Homely, actually. I mean, compared to you.
Keep goin'. Don't stop.
Goddess on high.
Mother of my unborn child. Love of my life.
So, you're sure they died on the 13th?
Hodgins was certain. Why?
Well, park ranger mentioned a killing, you know, a while ago, so I checked it out.
Here. Let me use this computer here.
Winston Hinkle.
He had a history of mental illness.
Got into a big fight with a camper and ended up beatin' him to death.
Got eight years for manslaughter.
What does this have to do with the 13th?
Well, he was released two weeks ago, on the 11 th.
Parole officer says he lives right outside the park.
Uh-huh.
So Hinkle was diagnosed with bipolar and cyclothymic disorder...
with episodes of paranoia.
Okay. So, why would they let him out?
Well, the attending psychiatrist feels that his illness is under control.
He's taking his meds. Hasn't had a serious episode in over three years.
Booth.
Oh, hey. Uh-
No. Just, uh, working.
No. Not Bones.
Sweets.
Sure. All right. I'll see you then.
You too.
What are you staring at? Don't do that.
I just think it's-
it's interesting that you'd be so self-conscious on the phone.
Really? Interesting? Because I'm having a private conversation...
in front of someone who's really nosy?
Well, you could be self-conscious...
'cause I know your history with Dr. Brennan.
I mean, you know, it's natural to have mixed feelings.
- Do you wanna know what I'm feeling? - Yeah.
- You really wanna know what I'm feelin'? - Please.
Okay. When I left Afghanistan...
I was miserable, thinkin' that I would never see Hannah again.
And- And why do you think that is, huh, Dr. Phil?
- Why don't you tell me? - Because I'm crazy about her.
'Cause my life is just way better when we're together.
Right? Which is- Which is why I'm happy. All right?
The past is the past. Okay? I'm happy, Sweets.
- I believe you. - Yeah.
- You're a lucky man. - I know.
Now, just get on your little shrinky mojo...
so that you can pick up any leftover crazies that the other doctor might have missed.
- My "shrinky mojo"? That's how it works? - Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Yeah. That's how it works. Stop staring at me like that.
Oh. Okay.
- You did bring your gun, right? - Yeah.
This is private property. You're trespassing.
F.B.I., Mr. Hinkle. Just have to ask you a few questions.
I did my time. I check in with my parole officer every week.
Right. I could either tell your parole officer that you were belligerent or cooperative.
Which do you think he'd be happier with?
You got a question, you just ask it.
Yeah. A couple was found dead, here in the park...
two days after you were released.
I guess I should have expected this.
Expected to be caught?
He means he expected to be perceived as the man he was.
- That's what your doctor told you? - I'm on my meds.
I turned my life around. I know what I did was wrong.
Of course, why should anybody else believe that?
You have court-ordered therapy sessions twice a week.
- Any trouble making it out to those sessions from here? - No.
- Okay. You account for your whereabouts on the 13th? - No.
You recognize these people?
Him, yeah.
They showed us his movies in prison.
It's not George Clooney, okay? These are the victims.
Beaten. The guy you killed.
I deserve this, I know, but I didn't kill anybody. I swear.
I'm gonna keep an eye on you, Winston.
- So? - Well, he seems to be telling the truth...
but his meds could be masking a lot.
You know, honestly, your whole mojo is just disappointing.
But my mojo's good.
The injuries on the female indicate that the left posterior ribs-
8 through 11 - shattered...
piercing the heart, lungs and kidneys.
Her scapula is also broken, which could have pierced the lung.
His injuries were more presented in the anterior and weren't as severe.
Internal bleeding would have taken much longer to kill him. He could have gone for help.
The woman was bleeding out. Perhaps he didn't want to leave her.
So he stayed and held her.
And she died in his arms.
We need to discover why the injuries were localized.
His in the front, hers in the back.
No one would deliver a beating so carefully.
Seeley tells me you're the best partner he's ever had.
Well, I'm sure that's true.
I'm not only gifted intellectually and internationally known...
but I'm also highly skilled in various methods of self-defense.
I like a person who isn't hampered by modesty.
I have two Peabodys, a National Press Award...
and I've been wounded three times getting stories.
I kick Christiane Amanpour's ass.
We are both quite impressive.
Booth never told me how you met.
It was outside Marja.
The Taliban controlled the area, and I was going in to interview one of the leaders.
She was told not to go in, but, of course, that didn't matter. She goes in.
I was heading to a café...
walking across this little town square...
and an insurgent opened fire.
Anyway, Seeley was there.
I didn't notice at the time. He was hidden, of course.
I was scrambling for cover.
The sniper was still firing when I heard another shot ring out.
The sniper dropped, wounded- not killed...
because he might have information.
Seeley never went for the kill if he could help it.
He saved your life.
You know, well, we met on the field.
Let's just leave it at that, shall we?
Let's just say I was very appreciative.
You're implying that you showed your appreciation sexually.
- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.
- Under a fig tree. - I never liked figs. Now, I- I love 'em.
I know.
Brennan.
Oh, Booth is here too. I'll put you on speakerphone.
Hey. So, I found eggs from the Sternorrhyncha: Aphidoidea.
They were on George Clooney.
Oh, it's like pulling teeth from this guy.
Okay. Hodgins, the eggs- they come from chickens, or-
Yeah. I just told you. Aphids.
So I hatched the eggs, and it turns out the aphids are wingless.
- This is fascinating. - Who's that?
- Hannah. - Oh, hey. Uh, hi.
Uh, it's nice to meet you. I, um- I'm, uh, Hodgins.
Um, Dr. Hodgins. Uh, I am a big fan.
I just read the piece where you stuck it to CENTCOM in 2009.
- Thanks. - Hey. Maybe while you're here...
you can find out why every time there's a big story-
and I mean like an earthquake, or government corruption-
there's always some celebrity story that takes focus.
- You know? The BP oil spill- - Hodgins.
Lindsay Lohan goes to jail, and the country takes their eye off the ball.
- Hodgins. - Media's used to distract us all the time.
- You're taking him seriously? - Michael Jackson's funeral is on 24 hours a day...
and nobody finds out about the coup in Honduras.
- Felt fishy to me. - I love this woman.
We were talking about wingless aphids, Dr. Hodgins.
We were? Right. Yes. No. We were.
So, wingless aphids- they couldn't have existed where we found the remains.
They live in windier environments at a higher altitude.
So I checked the wind patterns at various altitudes...
and I found some cabins in the park that hikers use to rest.
- They must have been there. - The male victim may have left something which could I.D. him.
Thanks, Hodgins. We should get back to the park.
And I gotta get up to Capitol Hill. I'm covering the Armed Services hearing.
- I'll see you back at the apartment. - Yes.
If George Clooney had been up here, I'm sure I'd remember.
- Ah, it's not Clooney. - Apparently, it's not a very accurate sketch.
Sorry. I don't recognize either one of 'em.
But hundreds of people come to the park every day.
Ah, it's worth a shot.
Cabins are inspected weekly.
Anything was found, I'm sure it would be in lost and found.
There doesn't seem to be anything in the cabin.
Uh, I filled out my application like you said.
You know, if, uh, we work well together, maybe you can give me a recommendation.
- Brothers-in-arms and all. - Ah, we'll see what happens.
- Look at this, Booth. - Wow.
Look at all these names, huh? Talk about the Love Shack.
Couples have been known to use the shelter for the occasional romantic interlude.
- Like a fig tree. - Beg your pardon?
Nothing. I like figs. Look at this.
This is fresh. "9/13." The day they died.
H.F. "Hillary Fuller."
Yeah, but who's F. V?
I was trying anything to get an I.D. of the mystery man...
so I analyzed the strontium isotope composition of his teeth.
Now, it indicates that the victim spent his first 20 or so years in Central America.
Probably Guatemala, based on the oxygen ratios.
Well, the remaining tissue I collected from his hands shows a high level of nicotine.
So he had Green Tobacco Sickness.
He was a migrant worker picking tobacco...
which might be why we can't get a match for him.
So the initials F.V. would probably be Spanish in origin.
- Mm-hmm. - But Hillary Fuller was a college-educated woman...
with a good job at a marketing firm.
Why would she be romantically involved with a migrant worker?
See if the victims share any additional genetic or environmental markers.
So she was a marketing director, and he was a migrant worker.
I can't believe they were a romantic couple.
Just because they had different backgrounds, what, you're saying that they can't be in love?
Your belief in the power of love is admirable, Booth...
but an affair between these two is an anthropological anomaly.
Yeah. I mean, crossing class boundaries that extreme would be rare...
and indicate that our victims had something in common we haven't discovered yet.
So it's not possible for two people to overcome their differences?
We couldn't.
- What? - She's right.
This is not about us.
Sometimes when I was away, I would imagine us together.
Really?
While pleasant, it was clearly a fantasy...
because we are also anomalous.
But you were lucky enough to meet someone with whom you have parity.
Love. With whom I have love.
You guys wanna talk about this?
No.
No? 'Cause I figure since Hannah is now a part of your life-
Why don't you just focus on what connected them...
if they were so incompatible.
- Okay? That's easy enough for you to do, right? - Brennan.
I found the connection. Osteopenia.
Both victims exhibit low bone mass and suppressed bone formation.
- They were alcoholics. - Oh! That's the connection.
Yeah. Although Hillary Fuller's bones were still weak...
her osteoblasts did show evidence of a recent increase in bone growth...
sufficient to indicate that she hadn't been drinking for at least two years.
I did a count on the male victim's osteoblasts, too...
and found that they were also returning to normal.
So he had also stopped drinking.
But according to the figures, only within the last year.
All right. Thanks.
So both of them had stopped drinking.
She, more than two years ago. He, less than a year.
I know the connection.
A.A.
Hmm.
Excuse me. F.B.I.
I see you're wearing your chip, so you've probably been coming here for a while, huh?
This is a safe environment. We don't rat out our friends here.
Just wanna ask you a few questions about Hillary Fuller.
She used to live in this area, so this was probably her meeting.
- I ain't talkin' to no cop. - Don't be such an ass-hat, Hank.
I knew Hillary. What happened? She fall off the wagon?
No. But she is dead.
- We believe murdered. - Oh, God.
Still haven't learned how to ease into that one, right, Bones?
Do you recognize this man?
He killed her?
He seems so nice in the movies.
No. This is the other victim who was found with Hillary.
His initials are F.V.
F.V.
Oh, Felix!
He does kind of look like George Clooney.
Oh. Wait, I-I-I- I can't believe this. Felix is gone too?
They were found in Taylor National Park in a cave.
- Makes sense. - Why's that?
If Hillary was sponsoring someone, she would take them in the woods...
so they could get in touch with themselves.
That's a good way to assess the damages they've done...
- in their life and make amends. - Yeah.
- You in the program? - Ah, I'm a gambler. But I haven't laid a bet in years.
I do miss the coffee here though.
Were Hillary and Felix romantically involved?
It's not supposed to happen with your sponsor, but they just kind of clicked.
And he was having some trouble at home.
Guess his girlfriend was getting jealous because Hillary was helping Felix stay sober.
- Right. Uh, and they were falling in love. - That too.
I guess his girlfriend couldn't handle it.
That's life, right? Things change.
Do you know where we can find Felix's girlfriend?
Felix was no saint.
He might have been a teacher in Guatemala, but here he was just a drunk.
- You have his record there. - Right. Drunk and disorderly...
buying alcohol for a minor, petty theft- not major crimes.
You're defending him now? That kid he bought booze for got into an accident or something.
I'm just trying to find out who killed Felix...
and right now you're looking like a good suspect.
- Ah, screw you, man. - Screw me?
Yeah. Screw you. I was always there for him.
I bailed the bastard out of jail.
I cleaned him up after he was so drunk he slept in the street.
And then he cheats on me?
Well, you don't seem too upset to find out that he's dead.
You live with a drunk, you expect them to die. I guess I was ready.
All right. So, you weren't needed anymore...
once he got sober.
- Right? - I wasted my time with him. He wasn't a real man.
A real man can take a drink. He can still party. He was not a man.
He was to another woman. That must have made you angry.
Why didn't you report him missing?
Because I just thought he'd run off with that bitch.
So you followed him to the woods just to make sure that was true.
You found him in the woods?
I got allergies. I don't go to the woods.
Well, people do crazy things when they're angry.
Can you account where you were on the 13th, Lupe?
I don't have to talk to you. I don't have to say anything.
I know.
Well, this is the best lunch I've had in a long time.
- Yeah. - You want dessert?
- I gotta get back to work. - No.
There's always dinner, right?
You and Brennan-
You two seem solid.
Well-
happens after, you know...
workin' together for, what, five years.
You know, I-I'm a little jealous, actually.
What? You actually think that there's something goin' on between...
me and Bones?
No. Not that.
Unless there's something I should know.
No. Of course not.
I guess I'm just jealous of what you two do together.
The action in the field.
Oh.
So the Armed Service Committee is not doing it for ya.
I think I'm the only one in the press corps...
who refuses to write her stories from press releases.
You're gonna make trouble while you're here, aren't you?
As much as possible.
Isn't that why you love me?
It's definitely one of the reasons.
- I gotta get back to work, Hannah. - I know, I know.
But I'm trouble, remember?
Wait a minute.
Wait till you see it.
- All right. - I was told these are for you.
Yes. These are the tires from Lupe Rojas's car.
- She denies going to the park, but Booth doesn't believe her. - And if she's lying...
the tread should contain insect and plant matter that could place her there.
Yeah. Exactly. You know, you could be my lovely assistant.
Yes, but since I'm your boss, you're my lovely assistant.
Ah.
Yeah. Right.
Well, at least I'm lovely.
I've reexamined the injuries, but I haven't found anything new.
- And why do you think that is? - Because there's nothing new.
Because you've been looking at them as if both victims were attacked and beaten.
Of course. Wasn't that your supposition?
Yes.
But was it yours? Because an assistant who doesn't think for himself has no value to me.
- Okay, but I thought that my- - No, you didn't. That's the point.
You repeated an inconclusive assumption I made without all the evidence.
- Evidence, by the way, you were supposed to supply...
while I was busy with other duties.
Okay, I'm gonna assume that I missed something here.
I can guarantee that you missed something.
Perhaps this is the reason that you didn't get your promotion in Chicago.
- Dr. Brennan. - If you hope to redeem yourself in my eyes...
you will look at these remains and tell me exactly what it is that you missed.
I'm guessing this is about more than a mistake by an assistant.
Why would you think that? Do you know what she's talking about, or-
Yes. But I prefer to focus on my own failings at this moment.
Someone's altered your relationship with Booth, Dr. Brennan.
- Do you mean Hannah? - Yes.
Whether or not you're happy for him, you have to have feelings about it.
And if you can't keep that out of the workplace-
- Oh, my God. - I'm sorry, Dr. Edison...
but sometimes our personal lives directly affect our work.
No, no. I see what Dr. Brennan means.
These two people weren't beaten at all.
You see? This was about nothing more than Dr. Edison's incompetence.
That was very kind.
But if they weren't beaten...
why did Dr. Hodgins find traces of sedimentary rock in their wounds?
Because they fell on rocks.
And she broke his fall...
which is why his injuries weren't as severe.
Very good. You see? I was merely helping Dr. Edison to be a better scientist.
I apologize, Dr. Brennan.
Accepted.
Those people in Chicago...
were foolish to lose you, Dr. Edison.
Thank you.
It's actually quite amusing...
to think that Hannah could ever affect my work.
Oh! Oh.
So I input all of the injuries and breaks that were found on both of the victims.
You can see that they share mirror fractures on their chests and pelvises.
The compression fractures that they share because he landed on top of her.
This also explains why his zygomatic and maxilla are shattered.
His face struck the rocks directly.
Now, here are the injuries on her back.
And I found some photographs of the area surrounding the cave.
I used topographical overlay software...
to find the rocks that would match their injuries.
So this section of the rocks here...
is the section that matches their injuries.
It's about 250 feet from the cave.
Well, with the amount of blood loss they were both suffering...
they couldn't have made it any farther.
This is the spot.
I want a forensics team to come and, you know, brush through all these rocks.
They fell from up there.
Maybe it was a suicide thing.
No. Uh-uh. There was no note. And everyone who knew 'em said they were pretty happy.
- Wh-What's up there? - It's a vista point.
Beautiful view. It's just tough to access.
Usually only experienced hikers go up there.
Well, Hillary was experienced. She brought people from the program up here.
- Program? - Yeah. A.A.
So, there wouldn't be a lot of people up there?
No one would see if someone pushed the couple off the cliff?
God, no. I guess not.
Booth.
Great. Thanks.
That was Hodgins. Lupe lied.
He found evidence in her tire treads that she was up here.
This place is freaky. Why are we here? Is this some kind of torture place?
- We're just going to verify your story. - I didn't kill them.
Oh, really? Then why'd you lie about going to the park?
Because I knew you wouldn't believe me if you knew I drove out there.
Well, now that you lied, I believe you even less.
I am telling you, I got allergies.
I followed them, but then I started sneezing up there, my eyes puffed up.
- I couldn't see, so I went home. - Are you ready?
- All ready. - Ready. Ready. Ready. Ready. Ready.
Ready? Ready for what? What are we ready for?
I'm not ready.
- What are those? - Well, you said you followed them...
- to the top of the trail until you couldn't go any further. - 'Cause I was sneezing and stuff.
Yeah. So we're just gonna do a little experiment.
I feel really uncomfortable about this.
We usually don't do experiments on live humans.
I know. Should be fun.
You said you were gonna give me a chance to clear myself.
We are. Unless you want me to lock you up for a few weeks...
until a public defender comes along to take your case.
That's up to you. What do you think?
These are plants that grow at the higher altitudes in the park.
Trumpet honeysuckle...
red twig dogwood, Russian hawthorn.
Let's start with that one.
What, are you witches? 'Cause my grandmother knows spells.
Okay. Next one.
This is dogwood.
Not looking good, Lupe.
And this is honeysuckle.
Oh!
Geez!
Go! Get it away!
Clark, why didn't you say you were allergic?
I didn't know.
I'm calling my grandma.
She's telling the truth, Booth. Her allergies are severe.
She wouldn't have been able to continue following them up there.
Oh!
I'm gonna go get an antihistamine.
I think I found something.
Most of the flesh was decomposed or eaten by parasites...
except for this area around his eye and cheek.
The flesh is desiccated...
and seems to be untouched by scavengers.
If they ate everything else, why would the animals avoid that?
That's what I asked myself, so I did an analysis of the tissue...
and compared it with the tissue I took off other parts of the remains.
This tissue, from around his eye, contains capsaicin.
Pepper spray.
Yes, but at a very high concentration. Government issue.
- The scavengers wouldn't touch it. - Wait a second.
Forest Services issues a highly concentrated spray to park rangers...
who encounter bears or other aggressive animals.
Look. We looked at Felix's rap sheet a little closer...
and the minor he bought liquor for was your niece.
She drank too much and got into a car accident.
And she died. Isn't that right, Gary?
I saw him hiking with th-that woman.
I recognized him from court.
When they left the cabin, I... followed them.
Your sister-in-law's been through enough.
She lost her brother in Afghanistan, and then her daughter.
It's not fair.
Neither was killing those two people.
They let him off with a slap on the wrist.
Counseling. That's crap.
He needed to pay. We're both soldiers. You understand.
- No. I don't get that. - Come on, man.
When we were over there, we took care of business. We didn't wait for some trial.
- What about the woman? - She was defending him.
Saying that he turned his life around.
- Collateral damage. It happens. - This isn't war, Gary.
He killed Sarah.
She never had a chance to turn her life around.
So you sprayed them with pepper spray, and then you pushed them off a cliff.
I did the right thing.
For Sarah and my brother.
Nobody's ever gonna tell me I didn't do the right thing.
# Every day is a struggle #
# Between what I wanna say #
# And what I should keep to myself #
# And the words that manage to leave my lips #
# Don't hurt me #
# But they hurt everyone else #
# So #
# I find myself in need of a pause #
# I'm not sure why but I think that it's because #
# Of this desire to be what others want me to be ##
It's sad, you know, but at least they died in each other's arms.
How could that have made their deaths any less horrible?
Oh, 'cause it was love. I mean-
I mean, if you're gonna go, it's best to go with someone you love.
No, but he didn't have to go. He could have walked farther and gotten help.
At least one of them would have lived.
Well, he couldn't leave her, right? That-That's what love is.
So you're saying that love is foolish and illogical.
No. It's- It's thinking of someone before yourself.
It's giving your life, if necessary, to that person.
I mean, it's, uh- it's love.
And if a person falls out of love and meets someone else...
those selfless acts would suddenly appear to be...
dangerously irresponsible, wouldn't they?
No. It was still love.
Well, I could never live like that.
Survival is a human imperative.
If we don't look out for ourselves, nothing else matters.
That's not true. You know that, Bones. That's not true. You know that.
You're experiencing a rush of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin with Hannah.
Those feelings are wonderful. I've... felt them...
but I won't rely on the transient nature of chemicals for my happiness.
- There she is. Wow. - Hey.
Wow. That's a dress.
- Hey, Temperance. - Hello.
So you guys catch a bad guy?
Yes. It was a park ranger with a perverse sense of justice.
Oh.
So, this is like a post-criminal drink?
Yeah. It's a post- You want one?
I'll have one or two or three at dinner.
- We should go. We're gonna be late. - Yeah, yeah. We should get goin'.
- Do you wanna go? - Oh, no. Thanks.
I have to catalog all the forensics.
- Come on. Clark can do it. - I don't mind. Have a good night.
I'll see you tomorrow then.
Um, one night, you and me- girls night out.
- We'll dish about Seeley. - Come on. Let's go.
Okay, okay.
# I'll see better when the smoke clears #
# When the smoke clears inside my head #
# And I can listen when the screaming #
# Doesn't repeat everything I've said #
# All that remains is me and who I am #
# At the end of the day #
# Oh, and this happens every day ##
What's that mean?
