1
00:00:03,801 --> 00:00:06,669
See, this...
this can't be the place.
2
00:00:06,670 --> 00:00:08,923
Why would they leave a clue
for a treasure hunt here?
3
00:00:08,974 --> 00:00:10,558
Denise hired a professional
to plan the game.
4
00:00:10,592 --> 00:00:11,759
They know what
they're doing.
5
00:00:11,810 --> 00:00:12,977
Why couldn't
Denise and Joel
6
00:00:13,011 --> 00:00:14,261
just have
a dinner party?
7
00:00:14,312 --> 00:00:17,898
Watch out for that step.
It's... See?
8
00:00:17,933 --> 00:00:19,266
Told you.
Hey.
9
00:00:19,317 --> 00:00:20,684
Help me get some light
down here.
10
00:00:23,071 --> 00:00:25,523
Okay,
11
00:00:25,557 --> 00:00:26,941
nothing down there.
12
00:00:26,992 --> 00:00:28,108
Let's go.
13
00:00:28,994 --> 00:00:30,227
Seriously?
14
00:00:30,245 --> 00:00:33,330
This is awesome.
15
00:00:33,365 --> 00:00:34,731
Get a picture.
16
00:00:34,749 --> 00:00:37,001
Smells gross.
Man up!
17
00:00:37,035 --> 00:00:38,752
Do you want
Ryan and Kristy to win?
18
00:00:38,787 --> 00:00:40,337
Dig.
19
00:00:42,574 --> 00:00:44,875
Wait. I... I think
I found something.
20
00:00:44,909 --> 00:00:46,710
Feels like
a bottle.
21
00:00:46,744 --> 00:00:48,912
It'll have
the next clue inside.
22
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:51,265
Got to admit,
winning would be nice.
23
00:01:00,192 --> 00:01:02,610
I hate Ryan
and Kristy!
24
00:01:09,784 --> 00:01:12,786
Hey, Bones. She's sleeping.
25
00:01:13,771 --> 00:01:15,289
Shh. Look at this, huh?
26
00:01:15,323 --> 00:01:17,274
We have an artist.
27
00:01:17,292 --> 00:01:19,376
This is beautiful.
Yeah.
28
00:01:19,411 --> 00:01:20,961
It's truly exceptional.
29
00:01:20,996 --> 00:01:23,914
There are flashes of
Abstract Expressionism in this.
30
00:01:23,948 --> 00:01:25,282
Huh?
31
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:27,001
Abstract
Expressionism.
32
00:01:27,052 --> 00:01:31,622
You know, like Wassily Kandinsky
or... Friedel Dzubas.
33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,206
There's a real sweep
to these strokes.
34
00:01:34,231 --> 00:01:35,009
Right, right.
35
00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:37,094
Okay, well, the school
director, she wants to, uh,
36
00:01:37,128 --> 00:01:38,762
bring us in
and talk to us.
37
00:01:38,796 --> 00:01:41,465
So she recognizes
Christine's talent, too?
38
00:01:41,483 --> 00:01:43,150
Uh, no, Christine, she, uh...
39
00:01:43,184 --> 00:01:45,185
she bit a kid.
What?!
40
00:01:45,237 --> 00:01:47,404
No, th-that's impossible.
41
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:50,441
It's no big deal. I mean, kids bite.
No. Not Christine.
42
00:01:50,475 --> 00:01:52,493
She's not just any kid--
she's my daughter,
43
00:01:52,527 --> 00:01:53,694
and they made a mistake.
44
00:01:53,745 --> 00:01:55,312
Bones, just relax.
45
00:01:55,330 --> 00:01:57,164
I mean, the school
director, she felt bad.
46
00:01:57,198 --> 00:01:59,416
She was apologizing
for bringing it up.
47
00:01:59,451 --> 00:02:00,868
Well, then why did she?
Well, because,
48
00:02:00,919 --> 00:02:02,870
you know, a kid got
bit, that's why.
49
00:02:02,921 --> 00:02:04,288
Which kid?
50
00:02:05,757 --> 00:02:06,840
Thank God.
51
00:02:07,626 --> 00:02:09,492
Brennan.
Booth.
52
00:02:09,493 --> 00:02:11,118
Where is it?
Text me the address.
53
00:02:11,143 --> 00:02:12,596
Okay,
we'll be right there.
54
00:02:12,597 --> 00:02:14,548
We got a body.
I know. I'll call Max
55
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:15,883
to watch her.
56
00:02:15,934 --> 00:02:17,101
Which kid?
57
00:02:17,135 --> 00:02:19,803
Emma. One of the Emmas.
58
00:02:19,837 --> 00:02:22,139
Emma R. or Emma C.?
Emma C.
59
00:02:22,173 --> 00:02:26,009
Figures. She cries when
they sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider."
60
00:02:34,235 --> 00:02:37,571
Wow!
Look at those 'shrooms!
61
00:02:37,622 --> 00:02:39,073
Yeah. Spectacular, right?
62
00:02:39,124 --> 00:02:41,959
Ganoderma, enokitake,
63
00:02:41,993 --> 00:02:44,161
some beautiful
bunapi-shimeji,
64
00:02:44,195 --> 00:02:48,132
and just about the cutest
little hypholoma I've ever seen.
65
00:02:48,166 --> 00:02:50,167
- Okay, that's great. Let's move it along.
- The frontal eminence
66
00:02:50,201 --> 00:02:51,752
and the orbital margins
67
00:02:51,803 --> 00:02:54,138
indicate the victim was female.
68
00:02:54,172 --> 00:02:55,306
Caucasian.
69
00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:56,540
Cranial suturing suggests
70
00:02:56,558 --> 00:02:58,309
she was in her mid-20s.
All right,
71
00:02:58,343 --> 00:03:00,377
- any evidence of sexual assault?
- Not that I can see.
72
00:03:00,395 --> 00:03:01,712
Her pants are still on.
73
00:03:01,730 --> 00:03:03,380
I didn't think mushrooms
grew on bodies.
74
00:03:03,398 --> 00:03:04,682
Yeah, they don't.
75
00:03:04,716 --> 00:03:07,050
They are growing
through it and around it.
76
00:03:07,068 --> 00:03:10,237
Spores must have been
laying dormant underground.
77
00:03:10,271 --> 00:03:12,323
Fluid from the victim
could have seeped out
78
00:03:12,357 --> 00:03:13,991
and reactivated them.
79
00:03:14,025 --> 00:03:15,526
What proof do they have?
80
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,577
Huh?
81
00:03:16,611 --> 00:03:17,778
Hard proof.
Hard proof?
82
00:03:17,829 --> 00:03:18,829
I... I don't know.
83
00:03:18,863 --> 00:03:20,414
The teacher heard a scream,
84
00:03:20,448 --> 00:03:21,532
she turned around
and she saw
85
00:03:21,566 --> 00:03:22,700
Christine standing
next to C
86
00:03:22,734 --> 00:03:24,168
and she had a bite mark on her.
87
00:03:24,202 --> 00:03:25,869
Not about the case,
I'm guessing?
88
00:03:25,903 --> 00:03:27,921
It could have been
another child who ran away.
89
00:03:27,956 --> 00:03:30,007
Let's talk about this later.
Has Michael Vincent
90
00:03:30,041 --> 00:03:32,176
- ever bit anyone?
- Yeah, sure.
91
00:03:32,210 --> 00:03:33,761
I mean, th-there's
nothing weird about that.
92
00:03:33,795 --> 00:03:35,879
- It's average behavior.
- Average.
93
00:03:35,913 --> 00:03:37,681
Exactly.
Christine didn't do this.
94
00:03:37,716 --> 00:03:38,966
The teacher was mistaken.
95
00:03:39,017 --> 00:03:40,300
There was
no reports of a kidnapping
96
00:03:40,352 --> 00:03:42,136
or an abduction
in the area,
97
00:03:42,187 --> 00:03:43,804
so how long has
Mushroom Woman
98
00:03:43,855 --> 00:03:46,223
been down here, do you think?
Well, based on
99
00:03:46,257 --> 00:03:47,608
the size of the stems,
100
00:03:47,642 --> 00:03:50,093
I'd say somewhere
between 20 and 30 days.
101
00:03:50,111 --> 00:03:52,262
Hey, she could be homeless.
Her teeth
102
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,542
are pristine-- she doesn't
have a single filling.
103
00:03:54,567 --> 00:03:55,232
Look...
104
00:03:55,233 --> 00:03:57,117
at her fingernails.
105
00:03:57,152 --> 00:03:58,312
Wow, that's a manicure.
106
00:03:58,319 --> 00:03:59,770
It's a very good
manicure.
107
00:03:59,788 --> 00:04:02,072
She took very good
care of herself.
108
00:04:02,106 --> 00:04:04,274
Can I...
109
00:04:04,292 --> 00:04:06,960
see that?
Yeah.
110
00:04:08,713 --> 00:04:10,664
These shoes
are from Ava Lang.
111
00:04:10,715 --> 00:04:11,799
Beautiful.
112
00:04:11,833 --> 00:04:13,250
Incredible leather.
113
00:04:13,284 --> 00:04:14,218
Sounds very expensive.
114
00:04:14,252 --> 00:04:16,119
So, why did a woman
115
00:04:16,137 --> 00:04:17,755
who could afford shoes
like this end up
116
00:04:17,789 --> 00:04:19,757
in one of the worst
neighborhoods in D.C.
117
00:04:19,791 --> 00:04:21,675
with mushrooms
growing out of her?

The mushrooms?
Yeah.
123
00:05:07,329 --> 00:05:08,793
There could be
a market for these.

Yeah,

mushrooms grown locally

126
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:13,901
Are you two looking for some
kind of side business?
127
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:15,536
Oh, no.
Hey, I accept
128
00:05:15,570 --> 00:05:16,921
not being rich-rich,
but I wouldn't mind
129
00:05:16,955 --> 00:05:18,923
being a little richer
than we are right now.
130
00:05:18,957 --> 00:05:21,909
We're living off our salaries;
it's what people do.
131
00:05:21,927 --> 00:05:23,911
Well, happiness isn't tied
to how much money you make.
132
00:05:23,929 --> 00:05:26,464
Thank you, Opie-- but I'd
rather not have Michael Vincent
133
00:05:26,515 --> 00:05:27,765
eating squirrel gizzards
134
00:05:27,799 --> 00:05:30,301
and hillbilly broth.
We had to mortgage
135
00:05:30,352 --> 00:05:32,103
the house to pay off
a few final debts
136
00:05:32,137 --> 00:05:33,554
after the collapse
of the Cantilever Group.
137
00:05:33,588 --> 00:05:35,139
No, he's freaking out.
Yep.
138
00:05:35,190 --> 00:05:36,641
Totally. Okay,
finished with the photos?
139
00:05:36,692 --> 00:05:37,808
Right.
140
00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:39,861
Let's rattle them bones.
141
00:05:52,741 --> 00:05:54,608
Well, the victim's
clothing suggests
142
00:05:54,626 --> 00:05:55,927
she had expensive tastes.
143
00:05:55,961 --> 00:05:57,522
Come on, I need a
psychologist for that?
144
00:05:57,546 --> 00:05:58,746
The wear on her shoes
145
00:05:58,780 --> 00:06:00,298
indicates they didn't fit well.
146
00:06:00,332 --> 00:06:02,783
Her clothes were altered at home.
You know what?
147
00:06:02,801 --> 00:06:05,002
You're watching
way too much Project Runway.
148
00:06:05,053 --> 00:06:06,754
It was important
for her to look good.
149
00:06:06,788 --> 00:06:08,422
She was living
beyond her means.
150
00:06:08,456 --> 00:06:10,457
Maybe a social climber?
How's that gonna help me
151
00:06:10,475 --> 00:06:12,510
catch her murderer?
She showed a false front
152
00:06:12,561 --> 00:06:14,896
to the world-- it was a lie,
153
00:06:14,930 --> 00:06:16,180
if you will.
Enough with the clothes,
154
00:06:16,231 --> 00:06:17,682
all right?
Okay.
155
00:06:17,733 --> 00:06:19,400
Do you have anything else?
Um, yeah.
156
00:06:19,434 --> 00:06:22,353
The victim being buried
facedown-- that's significant.
157
00:06:22,404 --> 00:06:23,988
How so?
When the victim's turned away,
158
00:06:24,022 --> 00:06:25,806
the killer avoids a personal
connection, which means
159
00:06:25,824 --> 00:06:27,108
the killer probably
knew the victim.
160
00:06:27,133 --> 00:06:27,775
That's good.
161
00:06:27,776 --> 00:06:29,026
You know what?
I can work with that.
162
00:06:29,077 --> 00:06:30,278
Thank you.
163
00:06:31,496 --> 00:06:34,198
Hey, Sweets, uh,
biting is normal, right?
164
00:06:34,249 --> 00:06:36,584
Lab didn't mention
anything about biting.
165
00:06:36,618 --> 00:06:38,152
Did...
166
00:06:38,186 --> 00:06:39,670
did you bite someone?
167
00:06:39,705 --> 00:06:42,006
No. Christine bit someone.
Oh.
168
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,841
Oh, yeah. Her age--
totally normal.
169
00:06:43,875 --> 00:06:45,426
I mean, the average child...
170
00:06:45,460 --> 00:06:46,877
Don't say "average."
171
00:06:46,929 --> 00:06:48,245
Bones hears you
172
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,665
say "average," it's bad.
173
00:06:51,683 --> 00:06:54,719
Just... don't say
"average," okay?
174
00:06:54,770 --> 00:06:56,520
Okay.
Don't.
175
00:07:02,677 --> 00:07:04,812
I found hairline fractures
on the occipital.
176
00:07:04,846 --> 00:07:07,531
Did the victim die
from a blow to the head?
177
00:07:07,566 --> 00:07:10,284
No. The injury
was enough
178
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:11,953
to disorient
the victim,
179
00:07:11,987 --> 00:07:13,187
maybe even lose consciousness,
180
00:07:13,205 --> 00:07:14,872
but wouldn't be cause of death.
181
00:07:14,906 --> 00:07:16,574
I've got epithelial cells
182
00:07:16,625 --> 00:07:17,992
from under her fingernails.
183
00:07:18,026 --> 00:07:19,410
I'll run the DNA.
184
00:07:19,444 --> 00:07:21,662
If we're lucky,
she fought with her killer.
185
00:07:21,696 --> 00:07:22,897
Oh, well,
186
00:07:22,931 --> 00:07:25,032
multiple fractures
on the distal
187
00:07:25,067 --> 00:07:26,917
and medial phalanges
188
00:07:26,952 --> 00:07:29,136
as well as the metatarsals
could be indicative
189
00:07:29,171 --> 00:07:32,056
of a fight, yes.
Some of this
190
00:07:32,090 --> 00:07:34,258
is not skin.
What is it?
191
00:07:34,309 --> 00:07:36,260
Not sure.
192
00:07:41,883 --> 00:07:43,334
It's fibrous.
193
00:07:43,368 --> 00:07:45,102
I'll get Hodgins to identify it.
194
00:07:45,153 --> 00:07:47,238
Hey. I ran
a facial reconstruction
195
00:07:47,272 --> 00:07:51,409
through Missing Persons,
and I found a possible match.
196
00:07:51,443 --> 00:07:54,245
Rebecca Pearce, 25 years old,
reported missing
197
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:56,030
by Trudy Morris.
198
00:07:56,064 --> 00:07:57,531
Judge Trudy?
199
00:07:57,565 --> 00:07:58,699
I'm not familiar
with Judge Trudy.
200
00:07:58,733 --> 00:08:00,334
What circuit is she on?
201
00:08:00,369 --> 00:08:02,253
Citizen's Court.
Does that have something to do
202
00:08:02,287 --> 00:08:05,256
with the French Revolution?
No. Judge Trudy
203
00:08:05,290 --> 00:08:08,092
has a TV show where
she judges "small claims" cases.
204
00:08:08,126 --> 00:08:10,344
Why?
Because it's great drama.
205
00:08:10,379 --> 00:08:12,963
People just fight
over the silliest little things.
206
00:08:13,015 --> 00:08:15,266
You should see the way that they
yell and scream at each other.
207
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:16,467
Total guilty pleasure.
208
00:08:16,518 --> 00:08:18,469
Like watching a train wreck.
209
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,804
Train wrecks
are not pleasurable.
210
00:08:19,855 --> 00:08:22,456
No wonder
you feel guilty.
211
00:08:30,282 --> 00:08:32,817
I have a huge bone
to pick with you.
212
00:08:32,868 --> 00:08:34,485
Check out this
Synthesiomyia nudiseta.
213
00:08:34,536 --> 00:08:36,270
I'm serious. I'm steaming.
By the size
214
00:08:36,304 --> 00:08:37,938
of the larva,
I can narrow time of death
215
00:08:37,956 --> 00:08:39,540
to somewhere
between 20 and 23 days.
216
00:08:39,574 --> 00:08:42,660
Thurston, please
stop ignoring me.
217
00:08:43,912 --> 00:08:45,796
Did you finish this?
218
00:08:45,831 --> 00:08:47,665
There's still a bit left.
219
00:08:48,717 --> 00:08:51,001
Yes. It was delicious.
220
00:08:51,053 --> 00:08:52,452
This was my last bottle
of hot sauce!
221
00:08:52,453 --> 00:08:53,534
I didn't know it was yours.
222
00:08:53,544 --> 00:08:55,544
Well, if you wanted me
to believe you,
223
00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:57,925
you should have removed
the Post-it note.
224
00:08:57,959 --> 00:08:59,760
Okay, all right,
in my defense,
225
00:08:59,794 --> 00:09:02,146
it's a communal fridge.
I'll buy you a new one.
226
00:09:02,180 --> 00:09:03,964
No, no, you
don't understand.
227
00:09:03,982 --> 00:09:05,266
This was my granny's last bottle
228
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:06,934
of special sauce.
Well, call her up
229
00:09:06,968 --> 00:09:08,302
and tell her to, you know...
230
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,820
I can't, because she's dead!
231
00:09:12,407 --> 00:09:15,526
♪
232
00:09:19,364 --> 00:09:21,532
What have you
learned about Emma?
233
00:09:21,583 --> 00:09:22,950
Does she have a history
of false reporting?
234
00:09:22,975 --> 00:09:24,118
Oh, yeah.
235
00:09:24,119 --> 00:09:25,486
Numerous occasions,
police responded
236
00:09:25,504 --> 00:09:27,654
to reports of a
monster under the bed,
237
00:09:27,672 --> 00:09:29,673
but no monster
was ever found.
238
00:09:29,708 --> 00:09:32,343
I know that that's amusing,
but I don't feel like laughing.
239
00:09:32,377 --> 00:09:33,994
Bones, come on,
kids bite,
240
00:09:34,012 --> 00:09:36,263
and they grow out of it.
Really, just let it go.
241
00:09:36,298 --> 00:09:39,016
I would love to let it go.
Good. Let it go.
242
00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:41,719
Which is why I intend
to challenge the spurious
243
00:09:41,770 --> 00:09:43,721
circumstantial evidence
with empirical data.
244
00:09:43,772 --> 00:09:45,506
You're kidding.
245
00:09:45,524 --> 00:09:46,974
Not kidding.
Not kidding.
246
00:09:47,008 --> 00:09:48,675
Okay, th-the teacher
turned around
247
00:09:48,693 --> 00:09:50,436
and saw Christine
standing next to Emma.
248
00:09:50,461 --> 00:09:51,562
Hearsay,
249
00:09:51,563 --> 00:09:53,781
circumstantial,
and a possibly biased witness.
250
00:09:53,815 --> 00:09:55,533
Look, I'm just saying,
251
00:09:55,567 --> 00:09:56,984
if Christine did it,
252
00:09:57,018 --> 00:09:59,453
I'm sure she won't
do it again.
253
00:10:00,655 --> 00:10:02,573
If she did it
the first time.
254
00:10:02,624 --> 00:10:05,826
Which, probably,
you know, she didn't.
255
00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:08,963
Right.
256
00:10:09,798 --> 00:10:11,899
Your Honor,
257
00:10:11,933 --> 00:10:13,384
if you'll just
let me finish...
258
00:10:13,418 --> 00:10:15,202
Let you fin...?
I don't let you finish!
259
00:10:15,220 --> 00:10:16,537
You let me finish!
260
00:10:16,555 --> 00:10:18,339
Nowhere on this lease
does it say
261
00:10:18,373 --> 00:10:20,925
your tenant cannot have
a pet goldfish!
262
00:10:20,976 --> 00:10:22,343
Well, that is just
one woman's opinion.
263
00:10:22,377 --> 00:10:23,344
That is not
264
00:10:23,378 --> 00:10:24,678
"one woman's opinion."
265
00:10:24,712 --> 00:10:26,063
That is my ruling.
266
00:10:26,097 --> 00:10:27,982
And let's get
something straight, pal--
267
00:10:28,016 --> 00:10:29,433
no one comes into my courtroom
268
00:10:29,484 --> 00:10:31,735
and tells me how
to interpret the law.
269
00:10:31,770 --> 00:10:33,654
People love this freak show.
No. On the contrary.
270
00:10:33,688 --> 00:10:35,489
You know, it's about
the stern but effective
271
00:10:35,524 --> 00:10:37,224
administration
of justice.
272
00:10:37,242 --> 00:10:40,277
There has been a long
tradition of trial watching.
273
00:10:40,328 --> 00:10:42,029
Salem Witch Trials,
274
00:10:42,063 --> 00:10:43,330
the Nuremberg Trials.
275
00:10:43,365 --> 00:10:45,566
This show's just
a logical progression.
276
00:10:45,584 --> 00:10:47,501
Logical? Are you watching
the same trial I'm watching?
277
00:10:47,536 --> 00:10:48,569
They're talking about goldfish.
278
00:10:48,587 --> 00:10:50,588
Who is talking when I'm talking?
279
00:10:50,622 --> 00:10:52,072
I, uh... I'm sorry,
Your Honor.
280
00:10:52,090 --> 00:10:54,375
No, I was just
explaining to my partner
281
00:10:54,409 --> 00:10:56,844
that while these proceedings
may be unconventional, they are
282
00:10:56,878 --> 00:10:59,296
by no means a "freak show."
Who is this woman,
283
00:10:59,347 --> 00:11:01,549
and why is she
interrupting my courtroom?
284
00:11:01,583 --> 00:11:03,801
I-I have no idea,
Your Honor.
285
00:11:03,852 --> 00:11:05,719
I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan...
Bailiff Griff,
286
00:11:05,753 --> 00:11:08,422
- eject her now.
- Uh, you can't do that.
287
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,641
No, this isn't even
a real courtroom.
288
00:11:10,692 --> 00:11:11,942
There's no ceiling.
Don't even try it, pal.
289
00:11:11,977 --> 00:11:13,143
Hey, look,
we can either
290
00:11:13,195 --> 00:11:14,979
do this easy
or we can do it hard.
291
00:11:15,030 --> 00:11:16,063
You're not gonna
do it at all.
292
00:11:16,097 --> 00:11:17,481
Okay? FBI.
Special Agent Booth.
293
00:11:17,532 --> 00:11:19,149
This here is my partner.
Dr. Temperance Brennan.
294
00:11:19,201 --> 00:11:20,921
We already heard that, Bones.
And we're here
295
00:11:20,935 --> 00:11:23,120
to ask you a few questions
about a murder.
296
00:11:32,986 --> 00:11:34,786
Rebecca was murdered?
297
00:11:34,821 --> 00:11:37,039
Why? By whom?
That's what we're here
298
00:11:37,073 --> 00:11:39,241
to find out.
You reported her missing.
299
00:11:39,292 --> 00:11:41,243
I-I was worried;
she didn't show up
300
00:11:41,294 --> 00:11:43,884
for work, she didn't call.
Rebecca never missed a day.
301
00:11:43,885 --> 00:11:45,246
When was the last time
you saw her?
302
00:11:45,581 --> 00:11:48,583
Is this gonna take much longer?
The judge needs to be in makeup.
303
00:11:48,635 --> 00:11:50,919
Rebecca...
was murdered.
304
00:11:50,970 --> 00:11:52,203
Oh.
305
00:11:52,221 --> 00:11:53,639
Uh...
306
00:11:53,673 --> 00:11:55,507
oh, my God.
307
00:11:55,541 --> 00:11:57,175
Yeah, so you
better tell makeup
308
00:11:57,209 --> 00:11:58,543
it's gonna take a while.
309
00:11:58,561 --> 00:12:00,562
Well, what happened?
They don't know.
310
00:12:00,596 --> 00:12:03,015
When did I last see Rebecca?
Um...
311
00:12:03,049 --> 00:12:05,267
looks like the post-show
debrief on the 17th.
312
00:12:05,318 --> 00:12:07,686
The meeting went until 7:00.
I'm sorry.
313
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,987
Are you her assistant?
314
00:12:09,022 --> 00:12:10,238
No. Jill's our intern producer
315
00:12:10,273 --> 00:12:11,556
since Rebecca disappeared.
316
00:12:11,574 --> 00:12:13,659
So you replaced
Rebecca?
317
00:12:13,693 --> 00:12:16,061
No one could
really replace Rebecca.
318
00:12:16,079 --> 00:12:18,447
Her body was found
in an abandoned building
319
00:12:18,498 --> 00:12:19,865
on L Street.
320
00:12:19,899 --> 00:12:21,566
Do you know what
she was doing there?
321
00:12:21,584 --> 00:12:23,902
Probably recruiting litigants
for the show.
322
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,236
Becca would go anywhere
to get people
323
00:12:25,254 --> 00:12:27,839
on the show--
police stations, the DMV.
324
00:12:27,874 --> 00:12:29,257
She'd even camp out
in parking lots
325
00:12:29,292 --> 00:12:30,732
waiting for fender benders
to happen.
326
00:12:30,743 --> 00:12:32,344
She was committed.
327
00:12:32,378 --> 00:12:33,579
The night she went missing,
where were you?
328
00:12:33,604 --> 00:12:34,463
Home.
329
00:12:34,464 --> 00:12:37,632
Alone. Just
being truthful.
330
00:12:37,684 --> 00:12:40,635
I was here-- I had 20 hours
of video to get through.
331
00:12:40,687 --> 00:12:42,104
Alone, I assume?
332
00:12:42,138 --> 00:12:44,473
I liked Rebecca.
333
00:12:44,524 --> 00:12:46,308
In case both of
you are innocent,
334
00:12:46,359 --> 00:12:48,927
was Rebecca seeing anyone
romantically?
335
00:12:48,945 --> 00:12:51,429
- Not since Griff.
- The bailiff?
336
00:12:51,447 --> 00:12:53,231
Griff the bailiff
and your producer
337
00:12:53,265 --> 00:12:54,733
were having a relationship?
338
00:12:54,767 --> 00:12:56,201
They broke up
last year.
339
00:12:56,235 --> 00:12:57,903
But they got along fine.
340
00:12:57,937 --> 00:12:59,104
They're both
professionals.
341
00:12:59,122 --> 00:13:00,622
One more
question.
342
00:13:00,656 --> 00:13:02,457
If someone was accused
of biting,
343
00:13:02,492 --> 00:13:05,577
wouldn't you demand solid proof
for a conviction?
344
00:13:05,611 --> 00:13:07,212
Really?
345
00:13:07,246 --> 00:13:09,748
I would like her answer.
346
00:13:13,503 --> 00:13:16,588
Hey! I have got
the results!
347
00:13:16,622 --> 00:13:18,473
The fiber from
the victim's fingernail?
348
00:13:18,508 --> 00:13:20,458
What? No. No, no, I'm
still working on that. No.
349
00:13:20,476 --> 00:13:24,062
I have a molecular breakdown
of your grandma's secret sauce.
350
00:13:24,097 --> 00:13:26,648
Oh, forget it; I've moved on.
No, you haven't.
351
00:13:26,682 --> 00:13:28,299
You're still pissed,
and I don't blame you.
352
00:13:28,317 --> 00:13:29,851
All right? That stuff is awesome.
Yeah.
353
00:13:29,902 --> 00:13:31,686
My grandmother used
to put it on my catfish.
354
00:13:31,738 --> 00:13:33,071
Oh, you're killing me here.
355
00:13:33,106 --> 00:13:34,973
I'm not gonna let
that hot sauce die.
356
00:13:34,991 --> 00:13:36,658
Now, look at this.
I-I took a swab
357
00:13:36,692 --> 00:13:39,327
of the bottle and I ran it
through the Mass Spec, right?
358
00:13:39,362 --> 00:13:41,146
Now, I almost got
everything, okay?
359
00:13:41,164 --> 00:13:43,415
We've got red and yellow
peppers, okay,
360
00:13:43,449 --> 00:13:45,283
cayenne, tomatoes, of course,
361
00:13:45,317 --> 00:13:47,552
garlic, onions, cumin, salt,
Hodgins....
362
00:13:47,587 --> 00:13:49,337
brown sugar, vinegar-- it's
just, there's this one compound
363
00:13:49,372 --> 00:13:51,923
I cannot identify, and I was
hoping you'd know what it was.
364
00:13:51,958 --> 00:13:53,258
Yeah, sure.
365
00:13:53,292 --> 00:13:54,509
It's the one thing
you'll never find.
366
00:13:54,544 --> 00:13:55,660
Okay, but I've already got
367
00:13:55,678 --> 00:13:56,845
a portion of the
molecular chain...
368
00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:58,263
Love.
369
00:13:58,297 --> 00:14:00,082
It's love, Hodgins.
370
00:14:00,116 --> 00:14:02,167
That's not gonna show up
on your Mass Spec.
371
00:14:02,185 --> 00:14:03,935
Come on, let it go.
372
00:14:03,970 --> 00:14:05,804
No. Fi...
come on, hey...
373
00:14:05,838 --> 00:14:08,557
I-I'm one
compound away!
374
00:14:08,608 --> 00:14:10,175
I-I'm gonna burn
375
00:14:10,193 --> 00:14:13,511
the crap out of your mouth,
and you are gonna love it!
376
00:14:13,529 --> 00:14:16,615
Huh?
What's that about?
377
00:14:16,649 --> 00:14:19,818
We met when the show started.
378
00:14:19,852 --> 00:14:21,620
Trudy didn't want us
to date each other,
379
00:14:21,654 --> 00:14:23,855
but I guess Rebecca
and I were so in love
380
00:14:23,873 --> 00:14:25,824
that she didn't want
to be the Grinch.
381
00:14:25,858 --> 00:14:26,992
How long were you together?
382
00:14:27,026 --> 00:14:28,026
Four years.
383
00:14:28,044 --> 00:14:29,544
Lived together for the last two.
384
00:14:29,579 --> 00:14:31,029
With Iris.
Iris.
385
00:14:31,047 --> 00:14:32,047
That's interesting.
386
00:14:32,081 --> 00:14:33,465
Not really, Booth.
387
00:14:33,499 --> 00:14:35,533
For hundreds of years,
having multiple partners
388
00:14:35,551 --> 00:14:37,869
was quite acceptable.
Oh, no, no, no.
389
00:14:37,887 --> 00:14:39,221
Iris is a dog.
390
00:14:39,255 --> 00:14:42,057
Uh, she's a leopard hound
that we rescued.
391
00:14:42,091 --> 00:14:43,225
Never mind.
392
00:14:43,259 --> 00:14:44,259
So, what happened?
393
00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:45,760
Uh, not much.
394
00:14:45,812 --> 00:14:47,562
I mean, we saw Iris in a shelter
395
00:14:47,597 --> 00:14:49,855
and both of us thought
she was really...
396
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,682
No, no, not...
397
00:14:50,683 --> 00:14:52,901
not with the dog, Iris;
with you and Rebecca.
398
00:14:52,935 --> 00:14:54,152
Why'd you guys split?
399
00:14:54,187 --> 00:14:55,570
Oh, well, her job.
400
00:14:55,605 --> 00:14:57,989
I remember asking her
if it was worth it.
401
00:14:58,024 --> 00:15:00,058
I mean, she was always
dealing with lunatics.
402
00:15:00,076 --> 00:15:02,027
I told her,
one of them could snap.
403
00:15:02,061 --> 00:15:03,195
Did anyone ever
threaten her?
404
00:15:03,229 --> 00:15:04,446
Oh, yeah,
every day.
405
00:15:04,497 --> 00:15:06,064
Half the people who
lost blamed her,
406
00:15:06,082 --> 00:15:08,500
because she got them all
fired up before they went on.
407
00:15:08,534 --> 00:15:10,502
But she wasn't bothered?
Oh, she loved it.
408
00:15:10,536 --> 00:15:12,621
Then after Trudy promoted
her to be producer,
409
00:15:12,672 --> 00:15:13,905
nothing else mattered.
410
00:15:13,923 --> 00:15:15,257
The only time I
had a conversation
411
00:15:15,291 --> 00:15:16,741
with her was on set.
412
00:15:16,759 --> 00:15:18,553
She stopped seeing
friends and family.
413
00:15:18,578 --> 00:15:19,127
Was that
414
00:15:19,128 --> 00:15:21,429
why you sued her for palimony?
Hey, I supported Rebecca
415
00:15:21,464 --> 00:15:23,014
when she was
carrying coffee.
416
00:15:23,049 --> 00:15:25,750
By the time we split,
her salary was triple mine.
417
00:15:25,768 --> 00:15:26,801
You sound bitter.
418
00:15:26,826 --> 00:15:29,173
As long as I got my check
every month, I was happy.
419
00:15:29,722 --> 00:15:34,359
Problem is, now she's gone,
they're gonna stop.
420
00:15:34,393 --> 00:15:36,928
So from where I stand...
421
00:15:36,946 --> 00:15:39,397
Rebecca wasn't the
only victim here.
422
00:15:41,267 --> 00:15:43,818
I'm mad! I had every right
to burn his car!
423
00:15:43,870 --> 00:15:45,403
It seems like it to me.
424
00:15:45,437 --> 00:15:47,622
I would've liked to have
burned it with him in it!
425
00:15:47,657 --> 00:15:50,608
That's it! That is the anger
that I want to see in there!
426
00:15:50,626 --> 00:15:53,662
You're not gonna win
if you don't get mad.
427
00:15:53,713 --> 00:15:55,463
How long have you
been watching this?
428
00:15:55,498 --> 00:15:57,949
Three hours.
Three hours
429
00:15:57,967 --> 00:16:00,218
of raw footage of people
screaming at each other.
430
00:16:00,253 --> 00:16:02,337
The bailiff even told Booth
that these contestants
431
00:16:02,388 --> 00:16:03,722
could be pretty nuts.
432
00:16:03,756 --> 00:16:05,223
I can see that.
433
00:16:05,258 --> 00:16:07,092
One guy
went ballistic on his friend
434
00:16:07,126 --> 00:16:08,894
for not returning a magazine.
435
00:16:08,928 --> 00:16:11,062
And then he threatened to kill him.
Well, that's good.
436
00:16:11,097 --> 00:16:13,598
Um, not for the friend,
but for our case.
437
00:16:13,632 --> 00:16:15,100
He has an alibi.
438
00:16:15,134 --> 00:16:17,352
Rebecca was the one
who was really pushing it.
439
00:16:17,403 --> 00:16:20,989
She went out of her way to
push buttons on these crazies.
440
00:16:21,023 --> 00:16:22,490
Maybe that was part
of her job,
441
00:16:22,525 --> 00:16:23,992
to make the show
more interesting.
442
00:16:24,026 --> 00:16:26,477
Eh. The word I was going
for was "pathetic."
443
00:16:26,495 --> 00:16:29,497
The only one so far without
an alibi is this one.
444
00:16:29,532 --> 00:16:32,450
He said he was using the money
for an engagement ring!
445
00:16:32,484 --> 00:16:34,786
So he lied!
Now, you go in there,
446
00:16:34,820 --> 00:16:36,705
and you fight
for what you know is right,
447
00:16:36,756 --> 00:16:38,540
and you'll win.
You think so?
448
00:16:38,574 --> 00:16:40,775
Hell, yeah!
Are you a doormat,
449
00:16:40,810 --> 00:16:43,228
or are you a fighter?
A fighter!
450
00:16:43,262 --> 00:16:45,830
Now, you go in there
and you get some justice.
451
00:16:46,882 --> 00:16:48,934
Wow.
452
00:16:48,968 --> 00:16:50,518
Yeah.
453
00:16:50,553 --> 00:16:52,938
Then she lost the case
and had to be removed
454
00:16:52,972 --> 00:16:54,723
from the studio by security.
455
00:16:54,774 --> 00:16:56,641
She blamed Rebecca
for losing the case.
456
00:16:56,675 --> 00:17:00,228
You set me up!
You're a dead perra!
457
00:17:02,031 --> 00:17:03,214
Now, this was
458
00:17:03,249 --> 00:17:04,866
the day before
Rebecca disappeared,
459
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:06,851
and this woman
lives two blocks
460
00:17:06,869 --> 00:17:09,621
from where Rebecca's
body was found.
461
00:17:09,655 --> 00:17:12,157
Okay.
462
00:17:12,191 --> 00:17:14,242
Sure, I got mad--
she said I would win.
463
00:17:14,293 --> 00:17:16,027
Look, the show
paid you more
464
00:17:16,045 --> 00:17:18,363
for appearing than it would've
if you won the case.
465
00:17:18,381 --> 00:17:19,831
It was the principle
of the thing!
466
00:17:19,865 --> 00:17:21,199
Ain't you got no morals?
467
00:17:21,217 --> 00:17:22,968
Hey, you were betrayed
by your fiancé.
468
00:17:23,002 --> 00:17:25,412
Money couldn't heal that.
You wanted revenge.
469
00:17:25,437 --> 00:17:26,254
Yeah.
470
00:17:26,255 --> 00:17:27,389
He gets it.
471
00:17:27,423 --> 00:17:29,507
Revenge--
that makes things right.
472
00:17:29,541 --> 00:17:31,893
Seems like you got a lot
of revenge in the past.
473
00:17:31,927 --> 00:17:34,396
Huh? Let's take a look, huh?
Assault, breaking and entering.
474
00:17:34,430 --> 00:17:35,764
Oh, another assault.
475
00:17:35,815 --> 00:17:37,849
Look at this one--
my favorite--
476
00:17:37,883 --> 00:17:40,518
first degree murder.
That was dismissed!
477
00:17:40,552 --> 00:17:41,936
You seem to feel
that anger's a good solution
478
00:17:41,988 --> 00:17:43,605
to your problems-- which
I totally understand.
479
00:17:43,656 --> 00:17:45,740
Yeah?
Yeah. Sure.
480
00:17:45,775 --> 00:17:47,776
The release of adrenaline and
noradrenalin in your system
481
00:17:47,827 --> 00:17:49,194
causes you to feel
optimistic
482
00:17:49,228 --> 00:17:51,062
that your impulses are
causing you to make,
483
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,563
uh, reasonable
risk assessments.
484
00:17:52,581 --> 00:17:54,282
It's a common
correspondence bias.
485
00:17:54,333 --> 00:17:56,117
Are you screwing with me?
No, I'm simply pointing out
486
00:17:56,168 --> 00:17:57,585
that your lack
of self-control can
487
00:17:57,620 --> 00:17:59,754
cause you to make
extremely poor decisions.
488
00:17:59,789 --> 00:18:00,796
You said you were on my side!
489
00:18:00,821 --> 00:18:02,921
No, he said he understood
why you go psycho.
490
00:18:03,342 --> 00:18:04,676
Okay, I wouldn't use that word.
I know.
491
00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:05,960
That's why I'm here.
Okay, look,
492
00:18:06,012 --> 00:18:07,262
I caused a scene;
they threw me out.
493
00:18:07,296 --> 00:18:09,347
Why they got
to bring it up again now?
494
00:18:09,382 --> 00:18:10,632
Rebecca Pearce was found
murdered two blocks
495
00:18:10,683 --> 00:18:12,467
from your home.
She was killed
496
00:18:12,518 --> 00:18:14,519
right after you appeared on her show.
You just hauled me
497
00:18:14,553 --> 00:18:16,604
in here 'cause I live in
a crap neighborhood, and maybe
498
00:18:16,639 --> 00:18:19,441
ain't that smart,
but I got brains.
499
00:18:20,976 --> 00:18:23,278
I ain't gonna make this easy.
500
00:18:23,312 --> 00:18:25,480
I got nothing more to say.
501
00:18:28,067 --> 00:18:31,369
See how calm I could be?
502
00:18:34,156 --> 00:18:36,324
Fractures to the metatarsals
and phalanges.
503
00:18:36,375 --> 00:18:38,960
Which suggests that the victim
was defending herself.
504
00:18:38,994 --> 00:18:41,129
Fracturing
to the occipital.
505
00:18:41,163 --> 00:18:43,915
Right. Blunt-force trauma,
but wasn't enough to kill.
506
00:18:43,949 --> 00:18:46,000
But would certainly
be enough to daze the victim
507
00:18:46,052 --> 00:18:48,002
so the assailant
could gain control over her.
508
00:18:48,054 --> 00:18:49,254
And we also know
509
00:18:49,288 --> 00:18:50,755
that the underside
of her fingernails
510
00:18:50,789 --> 00:18:52,307
contained her own skin cells,
511
00:18:52,341 --> 00:18:54,342
which would indicate
that she was bound
512
00:18:54,393 --> 00:18:56,311
and that she tried
to claw at her restraints.
513
00:18:56,345 --> 00:18:58,646
None of which
gives us cause of death.
514
00:19:00,349 --> 00:19:02,300
Ma'am, if I could speak?
515
00:19:02,318 --> 00:19:04,269
You are.
Of course.
516
00:19:04,303 --> 00:19:06,938
Uh, I heard about
your little girl,
517
00:19:06,972 --> 00:19:08,806
and I just wanted
to say that
518
00:19:08,824 --> 00:19:10,525
there's nothing special
about biting.
519
00:19:10,576 --> 00:19:12,861
I mean, my mama said
I used to chew on folks
520
00:19:12,912 --> 00:19:14,312
like a cannibal
at Thanksgiving dinner.
521
00:19:14,330 --> 00:19:15,830
And I turned out okay.
522
00:19:15,865 --> 00:19:18,917
You served time in
a juvenile correction facility
523
00:19:18,951 --> 00:19:20,668
for stabbing your stepfather.
524
00:19:20,703 --> 00:19:22,420
But I stabbed him
in self-defense.
525
00:19:22,455 --> 00:19:25,423
I... I went to juvie for theft
and malicious mischief.
526
00:19:26,842 --> 00:19:28,093
Yeah, that doesn't sound good.
527
00:19:28,127 --> 00:19:29,844
All I'm saying
is that biting is,
528
00:19:29,879 --> 00:19:32,080
you know, pretty average behavior.
And since my daughter
529
00:19:32,098 --> 00:19:35,934
is not average, I'll prove that
she's being unfairly maligned.
530
00:19:37,770 --> 00:19:41,306
Did you see this, Mr. Abernathy?
531
00:19:41,340 --> 00:19:44,025
Uh... yes.
That's an antemortem injury
532
00:19:44,059 --> 00:19:45,860
to the right zygomatic.
Blunt-force consistent
533
00:19:45,895 --> 00:19:48,947
with a violent blow.
Degree of remodeling
534
00:19:48,981 --> 00:19:50,231
indicates
that the injuries
535
00:19:50,282 --> 00:19:52,033
occurred approximately
three months ago.
536
00:19:52,067 --> 00:19:54,903
Whoever murdered Rebecca Pearce
might have just been finishing
537
00:19:54,954 --> 00:19:57,822
what they started
three months ago.
538
00:20:04,472 --> 00:20:06,967
So, Pabla Sepúlveda's whole
family is saying that she was
539
00:20:06,968 --> 00:20:08,905
with them the night of the murder.
And you believe them?
540
00:20:08,906 --> 00:20:10,106
I believe it was enough
541
00:20:10,124 --> 00:20:11,625
for her lawyer to
get her released.
542
00:20:11,659 --> 00:20:13,099
Right, but the techs
are still seeing
543
00:20:13,110 --> 00:20:14,494
if there's anything
at the crime scene
544
00:20:14,546 --> 00:20:16,129
that ties her to the murder?
Yeah.
545
00:20:16,164 --> 00:20:19,132
But until then, I got another
loon for you to look at.
546
00:20:19,167 --> 00:20:21,351
Gordie Rand.
Rebecca and he met
547
00:20:21,386 --> 00:20:22,953
through an online
dating service.
548
00:20:22,987 --> 00:20:24,838
He looks 12.
Yeah, he's 22.
549
00:20:24,889 --> 00:20:27,174
Lied on his profile
and put up a fake picture.
550
00:20:27,225 --> 00:20:29,927
But they only met once...
for coffee.
551
00:20:29,961 --> 00:20:33,063
But, look, seems Gordie
didn't understand the word "no."
552
00:20:33,097 --> 00:20:34,972
Oh, she filed
a restraining order against him.
553
00:20:34,997 --> 00:20:36,856
Right, look at the date
of the restraining order--
554
00:20:36,857 --> 00:20:38,446
it was three months ago.
That's around the time
555
00:20:38,447 --> 00:20:40,374
Dr. Brennan said Rebecca
was hit in the face.
556
00:20:40,399 --> 00:20:41,655
Right. Now,
557
00:20:41,656 --> 00:20:43,657
look at the admitting
doctor's note for cause
558
00:20:43,691 --> 00:20:46,610
of injury.
"Accidental fall in home."
559
00:20:46,644 --> 00:20:48,612
So here's where Mr. Shrinky
comes into play.
560
00:20:48,646 --> 00:20:50,313
If Gordie Rand attacked her,
561
00:20:50,331 --> 00:20:52,482
why didn't Rebecca report him?
Uh, fear?
562
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:54,034
She probably thought
that by reporting him,
563
00:20:54,085 --> 00:20:56,920
she would incite him
and make matters worse.
564
00:20:56,955 --> 00:20:58,839
She had a restraining order--
one call, and the cops
565
00:20:58,873 --> 00:21:00,657
would have picked him up.
Yeah, but she knew
566
00:21:00,675 --> 00:21:03,293
the justice system-- she knew
that it didn't always work,
567
00:21:03,327 --> 00:21:04,995
so her survival skills
kicked in.
568
00:21:05,013 --> 00:21:06,880
Was there any additional contact
after this, uh, incident?
569
00:21:06,931 --> 00:21:08,432
Yeah. He sent
her these
570
00:21:08,466 --> 00:21:10,851
a week before she disappeared.
571
00:21:11,970 --> 00:21:13,503
That's...
572
00:21:13,538 --> 00:21:14,605
creepy.
573
00:21:19,176 --> 00:21:22,846
So, what can you tell me
about Rebecca Pearce?
574
00:21:22,864 --> 00:21:24,698
Uh, nothing to tell.
575
00:21:24,732 --> 00:21:26,400
Things got complicated,
so I broke it off.
576
00:21:26,451 --> 00:21:27,901
Did they get complicated
around the time
577
00:21:27,952 --> 00:21:29,686
that you started making
naked videos of her?
578
00:21:29,704 --> 00:21:31,388
She was totally into it, man.
579
00:21:31,422 --> 00:21:33,557
She was playing to the camera.
You're delusional.
580
00:21:33,591 --> 00:21:35,742
You know what?
You are a stalker.
581
00:21:35,793 --> 00:21:37,527
You delude yourself
582
00:21:37,545 --> 00:21:39,863
into thinking that there's
a real relationship...
583
00:21:39,881 --> 00:21:42,215
No.
and then it finally sinks in
584
00:21:42,250 --> 00:21:44,835
after hundreds of phone
calls and letters...
585
00:21:44,869 --> 00:21:46,753
Romance is a dance--
you move forward,
586
00:21:46,804 --> 00:21:49,473
they move back, and-and vice versa.
A dance? Really?
587
00:21:49,507 --> 00:21:51,041
Okay, give me
one example
588
00:21:51,059 --> 00:21:52,926
when she moved forward
to you, just once.
589
00:21:52,977 --> 00:21:55,378
It's a... it's
a subtle thing, man.
590
00:21:55,396 --> 00:21:57,848
What are these,
love tokens?
591
00:21:57,899 --> 00:21:59,399
Yeah.
592
00:21:59,434 --> 00:22:01,685
She liked the Halloween movies.
593
00:22:03,071 --> 00:22:05,522
It was on her profile.
All right, so if you guys
594
00:22:05,556 --> 00:22:07,436
were so right for each
other, why'd she take out
595
00:22:07,442 --> 00:22:08,492
a restraining order
against you?
596
00:22:08,526 --> 00:22:09,693
Well, all respect
to Rebecca,
597
00:22:09,727 --> 00:22:11,194
that's when she
took it too far.
598
00:22:11,228 --> 00:22:12,746
And then you
smacked her in the face.
599
00:22:12,780 --> 00:22:14,448
I would never do that;
I loved her.
600
00:22:14,499 --> 00:22:16,333
And I followed
every rule of that order.
601
00:22:16,367 --> 00:22:17,951
Where were you on the 17th?
602
00:22:18,002 --> 00:22:21,071
I was at-at home, I think.
603
00:22:21,089 --> 00:22:23,573
You think? Do you have someone
who can back up your story?
604
00:22:24,592 --> 00:22:27,094
My mom.
Your mom?
605
00:22:27,128 --> 00:22:28,345
You live with your mom?
606
00:22:28,379 --> 00:22:31,214
I bet Rebecca found that hot.
607
00:22:35,753 --> 00:22:37,420
I need your help
with something,
608
00:22:37,438 --> 00:22:39,639
but it must remain between us.
Yeah.
609
00:22:39,691 --> 00:22:41,925
For you, anything.
Christine has been accused
610
00:22:41,943 --> 00:22:44,644
of something based on the word
of a two-year-old
611
00:22:44,696 --> 00:22:47,105
whose neural connections
haven't fully formed yet.
612
00:22:47,130 --> 00:22:47,698
I heard.
613
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:49,116
She bit a kid.
614
00:22:49,150 --> 00:22:51,318
No. Allegedly.
A child was bitten,
615
00:22:51,369 --> 00:22:53,420
but... there's no
definitive evidence
616
00:22:53,454 --> 00:22:54,788
that it was Christine.
617
00:22:54,822 --> 00:22:57,491
You don't accuse
anyone, even a child,
618
00:22:57,542 --> 00:22:59,326
without proof--
photographs
619
00:22:59,377 --> 00:23:01,912
or measurement of the
alleged bite mark.
620
00:23:01,946 --> 00:23:04,047
What do you need?
I need you
621
00:23:04,082 --> 00:23:06,282
to access some records
from Christine's daycare.
622
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:08,335
You want me
to hack their server?
623
00:23:08,386 --> 00:23:10,670
I need you to pull
Emma Carter's records
624
00:23:10,722 --> 00:23:13,390
and see if there's any visual
evidence of the alleged bite.
625
00:23:13,424 --> 00:23:15,308
You know this is
pretty extreme, right?
626
00:23:15,343 --> 00:23:18,845
Motherhood makes demands
that you can't ignore.
627
00:23:22,567 --> 00:23:24,300
Did you identify
the fiber particulate
628
00:23:24,318 --> 00:23:26,636
I found under the victim's nail?
Copolymer
629
00:23:26,654 --> 00:23:29,322
of a six C diamine
and a 12 C diacid.
630
00:23:29,357 --> 00:23:31,691
Copolymer?
It's a synthetic fabric?
631
00:23:31,743 --> 00:23:33,693
Nylon-based velvet
treated with purple dye.
632
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:36,646
I've e-mailed you
the results.
633
00:23:36,664 --> 00:23:38,148
Did you find something?
634
00:23:38,166 --> 00:23:40,250
When I was examining the feet,
635
00:23:40,284 --> 00:23:43,319
I noticed, uh, perimortem
hairline fractures
636
00:23:43,337 --> 00:23:46,123
to the talus,
calcaneus and...
637
00:23:46,157 --> 00:23:48,925
distal fibula.
Could that result
638
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,710
from the victim
kicking her assailant?
639
00:23:50,762 --> 00:23:53,380
Well, that's more consistent
with damage by a jump
640
00:23:53,431 --> 00:23:55,048
down onto a hard surface.
641
00:23:55,099 --> 00:23:57,184
But in that case,
we would expect to see
642
00:23:57,218 --> 00:23:59,352
the tibias and fibulas
pierce directly
643
00:23:59,387 --> 00:24:01,138
through the inferior
portion of the feet.
644
00:24:01,172 --> 00:24:03,523
And there are
no compression fractures
645
00:24:03,558 --> 00:24:05,275
to the lumbar vertebrae.
646
00:24:05,309 --> 00:24:06,860
So a jump, but not
647
00:24:06,894 --> 00:24:09,229
from a great height.
Well, maybe she was dropped
648
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,231
from the top of the stairs
to the cellar floor.
649
00:24:11,282 --> 00:24:13,150
Now, that's a distance
of approximately
650
00:24:13,184 --> 00:24:15,452
ten feet, or just over three meters.
So...
651
00:24:15,486 --> 00:24:16,853
not high enough to kill her,
652
00:24:16,871 --> 00:24:18,572
but it sure would've
slowed her down.
653
00:24:18,623 --> 00:24:20,407
Yeah.
654
00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:27,497
I find for the plaintiff
655
00:24:27,531 --> 00:24:31,134
in the full amount of $243.
656
00:24:32,303 --> 00:24:34,337
You said I'd win, bitch!
657
00:24:34,371 --> 00:24:35,922
Why didn't you
arrest this man?
658
00:24:35,973 --> 00:24:38,374
Well, because he was in county
on a solicitation charge
659
00:24:38,392 --> 00:24:39,559
the night of the murder.
660
00:24:39,594 --> 00:24:40,977
All rise.
661
00:24:43,314 --> 00:24:45,265
Oh, wow.
662
00:24:45,316 --> 00:24:46,716
Weebles,
wobbles and...
663
00:24:46,734 --> 00:24:47,901
Ow!
664
00:24:47,935 --> 00:24:50,053
Wow. Okay, so what
do you think, Bones?
665
00:24:50,071 --> 00:24:51,404
The judge
might suffer
666
00:24:51,439 --> 00:24:54,341
from a neuromuscular
disorder.
667
00:24:54,375 --> 00:24:56,109
She's sloshed!
668
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,161
Drunk.
669
00:24:58,196 --> 00:24:59,996
Oh... that.
670
00:25:00,031 --> 00:25:02,415
...talking in my courtroom?
Yes.
671
00:25:02,450 --> 00:25:04,618
Oh! From
the looks of it,
672
00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:07,787
she is a mean drunk.
673
00:25:13,611 --> 00:25:16,112
Who's talking in my courtroom?
674
00:25:16,646 --> 00:25:19,295
Yeah, that definitely looks
like felony assault to me.
675
00:25:19,552 --> 00:25:21,837
You don't
have a good grasp
676
00:25:21,888 --> 00:25:23,639
of the law, do you,
Agent Booth?
677
00:25:23,673 --> 00:25:25,457
Since no charges
were filed, legally,
678
00:25:25,475 --> 00:25:27,977
that looks like nothing at all.
Ah, pretty cold.
679
00:25:28,011 --> 00:25:30,929
Yeah, I get that way when
I'm falsely accused of assault.
680
00:25:30,963 --> 00:25:32,348
Rebecca knew it was an accident
681
00:25:32,399 --> 00:25:34,299
and signed documents
to confirm that.
682
00:25:34,317 --> 00:25:35,818
The way you stumbled
and missed the steps...
683
00:25:35,852 --> 00:25:37,469
You had been drinking there,
hadn't you?
684
00:25:37,487 --> 00:25:41,523
I had come back
from a business lunch,
685
00:25:41,574 --> 00:25:43,659
probably had some wine.
686
00:25:43,693 --> 00:25:46,662
This line of questioning
is absurd.
687
00:25:46,696 --> 00:25:48,998
Move on with it.
This is not
688
00:25:49,032 --> 00:25:51,149
your fake courtroom, Trudy.
689
00:25:51,167 --> 00:25:52,668
I call the shots here.
690
00:25:52,702 --> 00:25:54,286
You're more than
a social drinker, aren't you?
691
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,956
I can tell by the way
your hand is shaking.
692
00:25:57,990 --> 00:26:00,426
I have an occasional drink.
693
00:26:00,460 --> 00:26:02,661
Occasional.
Right.
694
00:26:02,679 --> 00:26:06,298
Like you had the
occasional DUI.
695
00:26:06,332 --> 00:26:08,934
For me, it was gambling;
for my father, it was drinking.
696
00:26:08,968 --> 00:26:11,169
I know a problem when I see one.
697
00:26:18,278 --> 00:26:23,450
The Trudy you see on TV...
that's a performance.
698
00:26:23,451 --> 00:26:24,929
Some days I need help
getting there.
699
00:26:24,954 --> 00:26:25,534
Okay.
700
00:26:25,535 --> 00:26:27,018
So it must have
been difficult, then,
701
00:26:27,037 --> 00:26:28,537
when Rebecca banned alcohol
from the set.
702
00:26:28,571 --> 00:26:31,240
Nothing was banned from the set.
703
00:26:31,291 --> 00:26:33,075
According to this production
letter, you would've
704
00:26:33,126 --> 00:26:35,527
lost insurance on your show
if you didn't stop drinking.
705
00:26:35,545 --> 00:26:36,662
But you're
still drinking.
706
00:26:36,696 --> 00:26:37,817
You know,
addiction is tough,
707
00:26:37,831 --> 00:26:39,152
even when your career
is at stake.
708
00:26:39,165 --> 00:26:40,582
Your judgment's
impaired, you make
709
00:26:40,633 --> 00:26:42,584
impulsive and rash decisions.
Like getting rid
710
00:26:42,635 --> 00:26:44,035
of the people
standing between you
711
00:26:44,054 --> 00:26:45,871
and that drink that you need.
712
00:26:45,889 --> 00:26:47,539
I didn't kill Rebecca.
713
00:26:47,557 --> 00:26:49,341
But you did find
someone to bring
714
00:26:49,375 --> 00:26:50,809
your booze to the set, right?
715
00:26:50,844 --> 00:26:52,364
Maybe someone to get
on your good side,
716
00:26:52,378 --> 00:26:54,096
edge out Rebecca.
717
00:26:54,147 --> 00:26:57,382
I'm not answering
any more questions.
718
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:58,884
And that's your right.
719
00:26:58,902 --> 00:27:00,736
But can you see
the headlines now?
720
00:27:00,770 --> 00:27:02,521
"TV's Judge Trudy
721
00:27:02,555 --> 00:27:04,606
obstructs murder
investigation." Now,
722
00:27:04,641 --> 00:27:06,909
that is bad publicity.
723
00:27:13,166 --> 00:27:15,451
So, these are from
the little girl's file.
724
00:27:15,502 --> 00:27:18,987
You can see the bite marks.
Excellent. Now we can discount
725
00:27:19,022 --> 00:27:21,239
the validity of
their allegations,
726
00:27:21,257 --> 00:27:23,074
and I will be able
to submit evidence
727
00:27:23,093 --> 00:27:25,094
to Christine's
daycare director.
728
00:27:25,128 --> 00:27:26,178
Here.
729
00:27:26,212 --> 00:27:28,380
What is this?
We'll need
730
00:27:28,414 --> 00:27:30,799
to compare the injuries
with Christine.
731
00:27:30,850 --> 00:27:33,969
You actually took an impression
of Christine's teeth?
732
00:27:34,020 --> 00:27:36,722
Yes. I-I had her
bite into an apple,
733
00:27:36,756 --> 00:27:38,757
and then I
constructed the model.
734
00:27:38,775 --> 00:27:39,725
It was actually
735
00:27:39,759 --> 00:27:40,943
quite simple.
736
00:27:40,977 --> 00:27:42,478
And she loves apples.
737
00:27:42,529 --> 00:27:43,612
Okay.
738
00:27:56,576 --> 00:28:00,229
Oh. Aha! There is
a laceration here,
739
00:28:00,263 --> 00:28:01,797
in the area where
Christine's tooth
740
00:28:01,831 --> 00:28:03,132
hasn't yet fully erupted.
741
00:28:03,166 --> 00:28:04,666
Do you concur?
742
00:28:04,717 --> 00:28:07,336
Uh, well, since
the flesh is malleable,
743
00:28:07,387 --> 00:28:10,339
the computer can't confirm
or deny if Christine did this.
744
00:28:10,390 --> 00:28:11,673
Well, that is absurd.
745
00:28:11,724 --> 00:28:13,725
We can re-create
entire crime scenes,
746
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,979
complete assault scenarios...
Sorry, sweetie.
747
00:28:17,013 --> 00:28:19,681
The best that I can do
is give you odds.
748
00:28:19,732 --> 00:28:21,817
Okay.
749
00:28:21,851 --> 00:28:23,902
And you're not
gonna like them.
750
00:28:23,937 --> 00:28:27,022
Why? What do you mean?
Odds are
751
00:28:27,073 --> 00:28:30,893
78 to 21
that Christine bit the kid.
752
00:28:30,927 --> 00:28:33,745
21% plus my
knowledge of her.
753
00:28:33,780 --> 00:28:37,916
I am satisfied that
Christine is innocent.
754
00:28:37,951 --> 00:28:38,951
Really?
755
00:28:38,985 --> 00:28:40,485
Of course. Thank you.
756
00:28:40,503 --> 00:28:41,870
Oh, are we still on
757
00:28:41,921 --> 00:28:43,505
for Christine and
Michael Vincent's
758
00:28:43,540 --> 00:28:45,924
playdate on Saturday?
Uh...
759
00:28:45,959 --> 00:28:47,709
sure, yeah.
760
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,178
Great.
761
00:28:58,555 --> 00:29:00,556
I hope this is important.
762
00:29:00,607 --> 00:29:02,708
I'm trying to find
cause of death.
763
00:29:02,742 --> 00:29:04,009
What's that smell?
764
00:29:04,027 --> 00:29:06,845
It is catfish, Opie.
765
00:29:06,863 --> 00:29:08,680
Oh.
766
00:29:08,698 --> 00:29:11,116
That wasn't necessary, Thurston.
767
00:29:11,150 --> 00:29:14,036
But it was.
Come here, sit down.
768
00:29:16,489 --> 00:29:18,123
And this...
769
00:29:18,157 --> 00:29:21,192
this is the hot sauce.
770
00:29:21,211 --> 00:29:23,412
Taste it.
771
00:29:23,463 --> 00:29:24,796
You are gonna love it.
772
00:29:26,216 --> 00:29:28,333
Uh, this is...
773
00:29:35,675 --> 00:29:37,342
Oh, my God.
774
00:29:37,376 --> 00:29:39,511
How did you do that?
775
00:29:39,545 --> 00:29:41,563
Aframomum melegueta.
It's more commonly known
776
00:29:41,598 --> 00:29:44,215
as Guinea grain--
it's native to swampy habitats
777
00:29:44,234 --> 00:29:46,268
along the West African
coast. I have no idea
778
00:29:46,319 --> 00:29:48,403
how your granny
got a hold of it, but...
779
00:29:48,438 --> 00:29:50,522
She used to trade
with an herbalist in the woods.
780
00:29:50,556 --> 00:29:53,025
Damn, if you haven't brought
my granny back from the dead!
781
00:29:53,059 --> 00:29:55,944
Hey, I told you
I'd find it, right?
782
00:29:55,995 --> 00:29:58,196
And you were right--
the secret ingredient was love.
783
00:29:58,230 --> 00:30:00,249
That's the only
explanation
784
00:30:00,283 --> 00:30:02,067
for Hodgins spending
so much time and...
785
00:30:02,085 --> 00:30:03,785
and effort to do this.
786
00:30:06,539 --> 00:30:08,340
Eat. Go. Eat.
787
00:30:08,374 --> 00:30:09,758
Eat.
788
00:30:09,792 --> 00:30:11,472
Hey, we shouldn't keep
this stuff a secret.
789
00:30:11,511 --> 00:30:13,962
I mean, the world
would love this.
790
00:30:14,013 --> 00:30:15,797
Oh, very true, very true.
791
00:30:15,848 --> 00:30:17,049
You should slow down
792
00:30:17,083 --> 00:30:18,684
a little bit, Finn--
you don't want
793
00:30:18,718 --> 00:30:20,135
to get a bone stuck
in your throat.
794
00:30:20,186 --> 00:30:22,888
Not from a baby catfish.
795
00:30:25,275 --> 00:30:27,142
That's it.
What?
796
00:30:27,193 --> 00:30:28,727
Cause of death.
797
00:30:28,761 --> 00:30:31,697
Thank-thank you.
798
00:30:34,984 --> 00:30:37,369
You see these
micro-fractures
799
00:30:37,403 --> 00:30:39,738
on the transverse processes
of the C-four and -five?
800
00:30:39,772 --> 00:30:41,623
Yes.
Well, they appear to be
801
00:30:41,658 --> 00:30:44,275
consistent with strangulation.
Which is unlikely
802
00:30:44,294 --> 00:30:46,161
since the hyoid bone
remains intact.
803
00:30:46,212 --> 00:30:48,130
Unlikely, yes,
but not impossible.
804
00:30:48,164 --> 00:30:50,106
The victim was
in her mid-20s, yes?
805
00:30:50,131 --> 00:30:51,083
At that age,
806
00:30:51,084 --> 00:30:53,085
the hyoid bone
is still very flexible.
807
00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:54,836
And if the conditions
were right,
808
00:30:54,887 --> 00:30:56,555
she could've been strangled
without breaking her hyoid.
809
00:30:56,589 --> 00:30:59,007
The flexibility
of the young,
810
00:30:59,058 --> 00:31:01,960
semicartilaginous hyoid,
combined with
811
00:31:01,978 --> 00:31:04,179
a wide ligature,
could very well have caused
812
00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:05,514
these micro-fractures.
813
00:31:05,565 --> 00:31:07,599
Well done, Mr. Abernathy.
814
00:31:07,633 --> 00:31:10,836
Well, you should be thanking
my granny.
815
00:31:12,772 --> 00:31:14,272
Rebecca made it clear,
816
00:31:14,306 --> 00:31:16,141
if there was any booze
on set, I'd be fired,
817
00:31:16,159 --> 00:31:17,993
and then Trudy said,
if I didn't figure out
818
00:31:18,027 --> 00:31:19,494
a way to get her
some vodka,
819
00:31:19,529 --> 00:31:21,997
she'd fire me, too.
So you picked the judge.
820
00:31:22,031 --> 00:31:24,232
It was just a matter of time
before Trudy fired Rebecca.
821
00:31:24,250 --> 00:31:25,919
This job meant a lot to me.
822
00:31:25,944 --> 00:31:27,419
I'd say it worked out
pretty well for you.
823
00:31:27,420 --> 00:31:30,038
Your show is still going on,
you got Rebecca's job--
824
00:31:30,089 --> 00:31:31,840
sounds like
a motive to me.
825
00:31:31,874 --> 00:31:33,959
Rebecca was my mentor.
Oh, right, yeah.
826
00:31:33,993 --> 00:31:36,628
She treated you like crap,
you got paid next to nothing,
827
00:31:36,662 --> 00:31:38,597
and she took
all the credit.
828
00:31:38,631 --> 00:31:39,715
That's how everyone starts out.
829
00:31:39,766 --> 00:31:40,966
Trudy said
that you and Rebecca
830
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,517
used to fight all the time
831
00:31:42,552 --> 00:31:44,136
because she wouldn't
give you a promotion.
832
00:31:44,170 --> 00:31:47,522
Sometimes I have a temper.
833
00:31:47,557 --> 00:31:49,891
I can... get impatient,
that's all.
834
00:31:49,942 --> 00:31:51,977
I think you ran out
of patience-- I think
835
00:31:52,011 --> 00:31:53,862
you told her to go
to this abandoned building
836
00:31:53,896 --> 00:31:55,397
to interview
this fake guest, and...
837
00:31:55,448 --> 00:31:58,349
you strangled her... with this.
838
00:31:59,351 --> 00:32:01,870
Where... where did you get this?
839
00:32:01,904 --> 00:32:03,405
Got a search warrant
for your apartment.
840
00:32:03,456 --> 00:32:04,956
You see, the team
at the Jeffersonian
841
00:32:04,991 --> 00:32:06,241
said that Rebecca
was strangled.
842
00:32:06,292 --> 00:32:09,044
We found a fiber
underneath her fingernail.
843
00:32:09,078 --> 00:32:10,528
No. No, you've
got this all wrong.
844
00:32:10,546 --> 00:32:12,998
Rebecca lent me this scarf...
Oh.
845
00:32:13,032 --> 00:32:15,634
That's Rebecca's scarf.
846
00:32:15,668 --> 00:32:17,229
Oh, I didn't know that;
thanks for that.
847
00:32:17,253 --> 00:32:20,038
Wow, this is looking
worse and worse for you,
848
00:32:20,056 --> 00:32:22,190
isn't it, Jill?
849
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,334
Look, Jill Roberts has
motive and opportunity.
850
00:32:32,335 --> 00:32:34,954
Hell, she even got her promotion
courtesy of Rebecca's death.
851
00:32:34,972 --> 00:32:36,840
I believe our
killer acted
852
00:32:36,891 --> 00:32:38,458
on impulse and obsession.
853
00:32:38,476 --> 00:32:41,236
Jill Roberts is
methodical and calculating.
854
00:32:41,237 --> 00:32:43,185
Okay, you're saying
that she's innocent
855
00:32:43,264 --> 00:32:44,981
because her desk is neat?
856
00:32:45,015 --> 00:32:48,818
No, I'm saying that Jill is
only aggressive professionally.
857
00:32:48,853 --> 00:32:50,636
She didn't try to
hide her feelings.
858
00:32:50,654 --> 00:32:52,605
She seemed genuinely upset
about Rebecca's death.
859
00:32:52,639 --> 00:32:53,773
Hodgins identified
the fiber that was
860
00:32:53,807 --> 00:32:54,991
under the victim's fingernails.
861
00:32:55,025 --> 00:32:56,826
Some kind of a nylon, okay?
862
00:32:56,861 --> 00:32:59,746
This scarf...
probably matches it.
863
00:32:59,780 --> 00:33:02,148
No, see, this is wool.
864
00:33:02,166 --> 00:33:03,416
This is
South American
865
00:33:03,451 --> 00:33:04,751
vicuña-- it's very expensive.
866
00:33:04,785 --> 00:33:06,035
What?
It's not a crime
867
00:33:06,086 --> 00:33:07,653
to appreciate nice things.
868
00:33:07,671 --> 00:33:09,622
Okay. Doesn't mean that
869
00:33:09,656 --> 00:33:11,207
she's not the murderer, okay?
870
00:33:11,258 --> 00:33:13,259
Just means that
she didn't use this.
871
00:33:14,628 --> 00:33:17,013
I think you're reaching, Booth.
872
00:33:20,935 --> 00:33:23,219
Our assumption was that
the victim was strangled
873
00:33:23,270 --> 00:33:24,888
at the top of the stairs
874
00:33:24,922 --> 00:33:26,256
and then tossed
over the railing.
875
00:33:26,290 --> 00:33:27,624
But Finn and I
tried that
876
00:33:27,658 --> 00:33:28,858
every possible way.
877
00:33:28,893 --> 00:33:30,693
The yellow fractures
878
00:33:30,728 --> 00:33:33,897
show the injuries
from the simulated falls...
879
00:33:33,948 --> 00:33:36,699
and the red show the actual
fractures to your victim.
880
00:33:36,734 --> 00:33:39,986
Yeah, we couldn't match the same
fracture pattern that we found.
881
00:33:40,020 --> 00:33:43,022
What if the body dropped
at a 90-degree angle?
882
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,495
Well, how could that be possible
if she was thrown over the side?
883
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,192
It wouldn't.
884
00:33:46,193 --> 00:33:48,244
The calcaneal fractures indicate
885
00:33:48,295 --> 00:33:50,296
that her feet
hit the ground first
886
00:33:50,331 --> 00:33:51,965
and absorbed
most of the impact.
887
00:33:51,999 --> 00:33:55,034
So if I adjust the direction
of her body...
888
00:33:55,052 --> 00:33:57,303
and adjust
for the dead weight...
889
00:33:57,338 --> 00:33:58,888
Add a ligature around her neck.
890
00:34:05,262 --> 00:34:07,597
Well, I'll be damned.
She was hanged over that rail.
891
00:34:07,648 --> 00:34:09,549
And then cut down
after she died.
892
00:34:09,567 --> 00:34:11,568
Hairline fracturing matches.
But the victim's neck
893
00:34:11,602 --> 00:34:13,353
wasn't broken.
894
00:34:13,387 --> 00:34:15,355
Wouldn't your neck break
if you were hanged?
895
00:34:15,356 --> 00:34:17,441
It depends
on the length of the ligature,
896
00:34:17,442 --> 00:34:20,610
and if the noose
was wide enough,
897
00:34:20,661 --> 00:34:23,029
like so, it wouldn't
break Rebecca's neck.
898
00:34:23,063 --> 00:34:26,699
But... it would cause
tremendous impact
899
00:34:26,733 --> 00:34:29,168
to the jawline.
900
00:34:38,579 --> 00:34:39,963
Look.
901
00:34:40,014 --> 00:34:41,931
What are those?
Three small nicks
902
00:34:41,966 --> 00:34:44,884
on the anteroinferior aspect
of the mandible.
903
00:34:44,918 --> 00:34:47,720
Uniform and equidistant.
Small spikes.
904
00:34:47,754 --> 00:34:50,093
This could tell us
how she was strangled.
905
00:34:50,118 --> 00:34:50,923
And by what.
906
00:34:50,924 --> 00:34:53,693
I'll have Dr. Hodgins swab.
907
00:34:57,531 --> 00:34:59,866
They do seem to be spikes.
908
00:34:59,900 --> 00:35:01,784
Like maybe from
a bracelet.
909
00:35:01,819 --> 00:35:04,404
Like a punk would wear.
Exactly.
910
00:35:04,438 --> 00:35:07,457
So you think the victim
was struck in the throat
911
00:35:07,491 --> 00:35:10,076
by someone wearing a bracelet?
Impossible.
912
00:35:10,110 --> 00:35:13,162
There would be scraping,
as well as the indentations.
913
00:35:13,213 --> 00:35:15,999
These marks were made by
applying consistent pressure.
914
00:35:16,050 --> 00:35:18,468
Got it!
So, I swabbed
915
00:35:18,502 --> 00:35:20,215
Rebecca's mandible;
I found dander.
916
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,004
Dander,
917
00:35:21,005 --> 00:35:22,622
like from a dog?
Yeah, exactly.
918
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,257
- It's a dog collar.
Mm-hmm.
919
00:35:24,291 --> 00:35:25,958
Angie, can you call up
the file that I sent?
920
00:35:25,976 --> 00:35:28,061
So, I even found the breed.
921
00:35:28,095 --> 00:35:29,131
It was a leopard hound.
922
00:35:29,156 --> 00:35:30,796
Yeah. It's a Catahoula
leopard hound,
923
00:35:30,797 --> 00:35:32,932
to be exact.
How did you...
924
00:35:35,569 --> 00:35:37,303
That look familiar?
925
00:35:37,321 --> 00:35:39,138
What are you doing
with Iris's collar?
926
00:35:39,156 --> 00:35:41,157
We got a search warrant
for your home.
927
00:35:41,191 --> 00:35:43,443
Telling you, you've got
quite a shrine for your dog.
928
00:35:43,477 --> 00:35:45,144
The purple velvet
929
00:35:45,162 --> 00:35:46,746
matches perfectly
with the fibers
930
00:35:46,780 --> 00:35:48,648
we found under
Rebecca's fingernails.
931
00:35:48,666 --> 00:35:51,668
- Well, so? She was her dog, too.
- That's true.
932
00:35:51,702 --> 00:35:53,169
So, where's Iris?
933
00:35:54,088 --> 00:35:55,838
She... died.
934
00:35:55,873 --> 00:35:57,156
Before Rebecca was killed?
935
00:35:57,191 --> 00:35:58,925
Look, we know you had
a palimony agreement
936
00:35:58,959 --> 00:36:01,177
which gave you joint
custody of the dog.
937
00:36:01,211 --> 00:36:02,662
How did the dog die?
938
00:36:02,696 --> 00:36:05,014
Rebecca was
always working,
939
00:36:05,049 --> 00:36:07,350
so the dog
that you loved so much
940
00:36:07,384 --> 00:36:09,802
probably died of neglect,
am I right?
941
00:36:09,836 --> 00:36:12,055
There's a tribe
in Southern India
942
00:36:12,106 --> 00:36:15,341
that felt that a man's animal
was a part of him.
943
00:36:15,359 --> 00:36:16,976
Like his arm
or his heart.
944
00:36:17,010 --> 00:36:18,695
If another man
killed his animal,
945
00:36:18,729 --> 00:36:22,031
he was put to death... in
the same manner as that animal.
946
00:36:22,066 --> 00:36:23,366
Our FBI shrink
947
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,986
agrees-- Iris was hanged,
wasn't she?
948
00:36:27,020 --> 00:36:28,538
That's why you hanged Rebecca.
949
00:36:28,572 --> 00:36:31,407
We found the grave
950
00:36:31,458 --> 00:36:32,692
in your backyard.
951
00:36:32,710 --> 00:36:35,027
We can dig up the dog,
952
00:36:35,045 --> 00:36:38,331
and it'll be easy
to determine cause of death.
953
00:36:42,035 --> 00:36:43,970
I'll do that.
954
00:36:44,004 --> 00:36:45,838
Don't.
955
00:36:45,872 --> 00:36:47,890
Don't what?
956
00:36:49,510 --> 00:36:53,012
Don't... dig up Iris.
957
00:36:53,046 --> 00:36:55,615
Please.
958
00:36:56,934 --> 00:36:59,986
I went to pick her up...
959
00:37:00,020 --> 00:37:02,855
on Saturday, and...
960
00:37:02,889 --> 00:37:06,159
nobody answered the door,
so I... went around back.
961
00:37:06,193 --> 00:37:07,744
Rebecca
was working,
962
00:37:07,778 --> 00:37:09,245
like usual?
963
00:37:09,279 --> 00:37:13,116
She left Iris chained
to the porch.
964
00:37:14,835 --> 00:37:17,903
Who would leave a dog
tied up like that?
965
00:37:17,921 --> 00:37:20,840
I told her that
I would take her.
966
00:37:20,874 --> 00:37:23,760
But she said the...
967
00:37:23,794 --> 00:37:26,929
custody agreement was a...
legal contract,
968
00:37:26,964 --> 00:37:29,348
that the law was the law.
969
00:37:29,383 --> 00:37:31,801
Everything always
went back to that...
970
00:37:31,852 --> 00:37:33,519
stupid show.
971
00:37:35,255 --> 00:37:38,191
Iris was...
972
00:37:38,225 --> 00:37:41,978
she was more than an agreement.
973
00:37:42,029 --> 00:37:45,314
She was all I had left.
974
00:37:46,933 --> 00:37:48,901
And there she was...
975
00:37:48,935 --> 00:37:51,537
hanging off the...
976
00:37:51,572 --> 00:37:54,907
patio railing...
977
00:37:54,941 --> 00:37:57,877
dangling by her collar.
978
00:37:59,163 --> 00:38:01,631
Probably went
after a squirrel...
979
00:38:01,665 --> 00:38:04,383
or something.
980
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,758
I couldn't...
let Rebecca get away with that.
981
00:38:11,792 --> 00:38:15,895
That's what the law
is all about, right?

Listen, you guys, I thought
you were here to do an article.
992
00:39:01,508 --> 00:39:04,193
You know, my assistant
never would have set up
993
00:39:04,228 --> 00:39:05,978
this meeting for a tasting
994
00:39:06,012 --> 00:39:07,647
if my team hadn't
tasted it first.
995
00:39:07,681 --> 00:39:09,899
Especially if you want me
involved in the marketing.
996
00:39:09,950 --> 00:39:11,547
Come on, you guys, let's
go, get that food up.
997
00:39:11,548 --> 00:39:12,151
You're right, ma'am.
998
00:39:12,152 --> 00:39:13,361
Please accept our apologies...
999
00:39:13,386 --> 00:39:15,288
Okay, uh, but they do
not have your palate,
1000
00:39:15,289 --> 00:39:17,657
and we could not let you miss
an opportunity like this.
1001
00:39:17,691 --> 00:39:20,192
That's sweet, but you
need to talk to my staff.
1002
00:39:20,210 --> 00:39:22,361
Come on, let's go, let's go.
You're right, ma'am.
1003
00:39:22,379 --> 00:39:24,163
Okay? We're sorry...
Okay, what you can't see
1004
00:39:24,197 --> 00:39:26,082
is that he is actually the best
1005
00:39:26,133 --> 00:39:28,251
of what this country
has to offer.
1006
00:39:28,302 --> 00:39:29,919
Did he kill bin Laden?
1007
00:39:29,970 --> 00:39:32,054
Wow, you are a tough sell.
Taste it.
1008
00:39:32,089 --> 00:39:34,841
Relax, it's just a hot sauce
we're talking about.
1009
00:39:34,875 --> 00:39:36,926
No, it's not just a hot sauce.
1010
00:39:36,977 --> 00:39:39,762
My granny made this sauce,
and she took the recipe with her
1011
00:39:39,813 --> 00:39:41,981
to her grave.
1012
00:39:43,267 --> 00:39:44,650
Look me in the eye, kid.
1013
00:39:44,685 --> 00:39:46,719
Look me in the eye
and tell me
1014
00:39:46,737 --> 00:39:49,188
that you think this is the
most amazing hot sauce
1015
00:39:49,222 --> 00:39:51,908
I'll ever taste and I
should make an exception.
1016
00:39:51,942 --> 00:39:55,494
Ma'am, I promise you...
to my everlasting surprise
1017
00:39:55,529 --> 00:39:57,914
that this sauce tastes
every bit as good
1018
00:39:57,948 --> 00:40:00,366
as when my grandmother
made it for me.
1019
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:01,918
Now, men fought
for this sauce.
1020
00:40:01,952 --> 00:40:03,736
And I-I ain't proud
to say it,
1021
00:40:03,754 --> 00:40:06,255
but my cousin lost his hand
because of it.
1022
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,759
All right, give me a taste.
1023
00:40:27,728 --> 00:40:29,528
Not bad.
1024
00:40:31,097 --> 00:40:32,932
All right,
1025
00:40:32,950 --> 00:40:34,984
60 me, 40 you,
1026
00:40:35,035 --> 00:40:36,819
and we'll market
it with my name,
1027
00:40:36,870 --> 00:40:38,270
my logo, maybe we'll make
1028
00:40:38,288 --> 00:40:40,289
- a little bit of money.
- Please,
1029
00:40:40,324 --> 00:40:42,775
we're gonna be rich--
80/20,
1030
00:40:42,793 --> 00:40:44,443
our favor, and...
1031
00:40:44,461 --> 00:40:47,380
it's called
"Opie and Thurston's Hot Sauce."
1032
00:40:52,336 --> 00:40:54,303
Okay.
1033
00:41:01,812 --> 00:41:03,846
Now, I got to hand
it to you, Bones,
1034
00:41:03,897 --> 00:41:05,731
you always find a
way to amaze me.
1035
00:41:05,766 --> 00:41:07,183
I'm proud of you.
1036
00:41:07,234 --> 00:41:09,068
Solving this case
was a group effort.
1037
00:41:09,102 --> 00:41:12,304
But I am the most valuable,
so thank you.
1038
00:41:12,322 --> 00:41:14,807
No, I meant I'm proud
of you for not losing
1039
00:41:14,825 --> 00:41:17,036
your cool with the preschool
director, and Emma's mom.
1040
00:41:17,061 --> 00:41:17,977
Well, when it comes
1041
00:41:17,978 --> 00:41:21,080
to settling conflicts, it's
always better to be rational.
1042
00:41:21,114 --> 00:41:23,532
And the abundance
of forensic evidence
1043
00:41:23,583 --> 00:41:24,951
against Christine
1044
00:41:24,985 --> 00:41:27,620
was clearly tainted
by multiple sources.
1045
00:41:27,654 --> 00:41:29,288
Yeah, but the
part where
1046
00:41:29,322 --> 00:41:31,657
it became the O.J.
trial was a bit much.
1047
00:41:31,675 --> 00:41:33,209
But it worked.
1048
00:41:33,260 --> 00:41:36,462
Yeah. You know, Christine,
she's gonna misbehave again.
1049
00:41:36,496 --> 00:41:39,015
She's gonna break curfew, she's
gonna have a cigarette or two,
1050
00:41:39,049 --> 00:41:40,433
she's probably
gonna skip school.
1051
00:41:40,467 --> 00:41:41,684
I know.
1052
00:41:41,718 --> 00:41:43,519
It's a natural part
of maturing.
1053
00:41:43,553 --> 00:41:45,104
Natural?
Yes.
1054
00:41:45,138 --> 00:41:47,440
Really?
Yes. Acceptable behavior
1055
00:41:47,474 --> 00:41:48,975
can only be learned
through the experience
1056
00:41:49,009 --> 00:41:50,192
of unacceptable behavior.
1057
00:41:50,227 --> 00:41:51,477
Why the big change of heart?
1058
00:41:51,511 --> 00:41:52,445
I haven't changed.
1059
00:41:52,479 --> 00:41:53,846
What's that?
What?
1060
00:41:53,864 --> 00:41:56,015
On your neck. Is that a bite mark?
Nothing.
1061
00:41:56,033 --> 00:41:57,733
Christine bit you.
No... oh...
1062
00:41:57,784 --> 00:41:59,201
Christine got excited.
1063
00:41:59,236 --> 00:42:00,976
It doesn't mean
that she bit Emma.
1064
00:42:00,977 --> 00:42:02,495
Better not take her
to daycare for a while.
1065
00:42:02,496 --> 00:42:05,242
I'll just tell them that you did it
while we were making love.
1066
00:42:05,243 --> 00:42:06,714
No, you won't.
1067
00:42:06,739 --> 00:42:08,960
Well, it's a believable
explanation, Booth.
1068
00:42:08,961 --> 00:42:10,696
What...? What, that I
gave you a hickey?
1069
00:42:10,714 --> 00:42:12,031
No, I'm not in
eighth grade.
1070
00:42:12,949 --> 00:42:14,149
Ooh.
1071
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,600
Seriously?
You got to slow down.
1072
00:42:17,096 --> 00:42:19,287
Boy, she really did
lay into you there, huh?
1073
00:42:19,288 --> 00:42:20,955
It is a bit sore.
Yeah.
1074
00:42:21,006 --> 00:42:26,006
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
1075
00:42:54,703 --> 00:42:56,187
What's that mean?
