1
00:00:00,312 --> 00:00:01,473
Previously on
Bones...
2
00:00:01,474 --> 00:00:03,295
She thinks there's another
serial killer out there.
3
00:00:03,296 --> 00:00:05,146
Because that's what Pelant
told her before he died.
4
00:00:05,147 --> 00:00:06,980
If anything happens to me, uh, she...
she'll keep doing
5
00:00:06,981 --> 00:00:08,497
what she's doing.
6
00:00:08,498 --> 00:00:10,432
And you'll never
find out who she is.
7
00:00:10,467 --> 00:00:12,001
I believe Lana Brewster
8
00:00:12,035 --> 00:00:13,936
was the first
Ghost Killer victim.
9
00:00:13,970 --> 00:00:16,271
Trent McNamara was
a nasty piece of work,
10
00:00:16,306 --> 00:00:18,073
and that's his sister
Stephanie.
11
00:00:18,108 --> 00:00:20,576
We have evidence your father
paid off a medical examiner
12
00:00:20,610 --> 00:00:22,678
to cover up the fact
that Lana was murdered.
13
00:00:22,712 --> 00:00:25,481
You think I killed Lana?
This family's been harassed enough.
14
00:00:25,515 --> 00:00:29,051
I've seen this one before, on
one of the Ghost Killer victims.
15
00:00:29,085 --> 00:00:31,020
I'd like to help, Seeley,
but Dr. Brennan has
16
00:00:31,054 --> 00:00:33,422
no evidence to link these
cases to a serial killer.
17
00:00:33,456 --> 00:00:36,425
These are the files on
all six Ghost Killer victims.
18
00:00:36,459 --> 00:00:38,661
I want you to oversee this one.
19
00:00:38,695 --> 00:00:40,896
Does Dr. Brennan know you're
making me responsible for these?
20
00:00:40,930 --> 00:00:43,365
Why would you give those
remains to Dr. Edison?
21
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,934
A single gunshot wound
to the temple.
22
00:00:45,969 --> 00:00:48,037
This sure looks to me
like an admission of guilt.
23
00:00:48,071 --> 00:00:50,806
I read your autopsy
report on Trent McNamara.
24
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,608
Yes, his fingernail
was ripped off.
25
00:00:52,642 --> 00:00:56,145
Lana Brewster sustained
the exact same wound.
26
00:00:56,179 --> 00:00:58,380
What do you think?
I think we're gonna catch her.
27
00:00:58,415 --> 00:01:00,482
Her?
28
00:01:00,517 --> 00:01:02,284
That's what you said-- her.
29
00:01:02,318 --> 00:01:03,619
Well, you believe me?
30
00:01:03,653 --> 00:01:05,287
Mm-hmm.
31
00:01:06,423 --> 00:01:07,990
And the forest demon
took the shape
32
00:01:08,024 --> 00:01:09,391
of the last man murdered.
33
00:01:09,426 --> 00:01:12,194
He glided through the
woods on the wind,
34
00:01:12,228 --> 00:01:14,697
looking for new
victims to feed on.
35
00:01:14,731 --> 00:01:16,532
Stop, Dad,
this is stupid.
36
00:01:16,566 --> 00:01:18,267
You're just scared.
37
00:01:18,301 --> 00:01:19,186
Am not.
38
00:01:19,211 --> 00:01:21,184
Think you're going
a little overboard, Mike.
39
00:01:21,371 --> 00:01:23,038
That's what the demon's
last victim said.
40
00:01:23,073 --> 00:01:25,140
She was part of a family
just like us,
41
00:01:25,175 --> 00:01:28,477
sitting around a campfire,
marshmallows on sticks.
42
00:01:28,511 --> 00:01:30,879
We should've stayed in
the regular campground.
43
00:01:30,914 --> 00:01:33,382
It's creepy with
no one else around.
44
00:01:33,416 --> 00:01:34,383
I like it, Dad.
45
00:01:34,417 --> 00:01:36,518
Go on.
It was quiet that night.
46
00:01:36,553 --> 00:01:38,087
The family suspected nothing.
47
00:01:38,121 --> 00:01:40,456
Till the leaves
started rustling.
48
00:01:40,490 --> 00:01:42,658
It's just the wind, Allison.
Still oozing
49
00:01:42,692 --> 00:01:45,260
with blood from
his last victim,
50
00:01:45,295 --> 00:01:48,188
he catches the scent of
the innocent family.
51
00:01:48,189 --> 00:01:50,390
Okay, that's enough.
Stop it, Mike.
52
00:01:50,424 --> 00:01:53,093
Now.
It's just a stupid ghost story.
53
00:01:53,127 --> 00:01:54,661
It's okay, buddy.
We're here to have fun.
54
00:01:54,695 --> 00:01:56,329
Let's just roast
our marshmallows,
55
00:01:56,363 --> 00:01:59,666
and sing a few songs
before we turn in.
56
00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:02,902
Thank God.
57
00:02:02,937 --> 00:02:04,471
What was that?
58
00:02:04,505 --> 00:02:06,206
Nothing, honey.
59
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,375
Probably just a... a bunny
or a chipmunk or something.
60
00:02:12,246 --> 00:02:13,713
I swear to God, Michael,
61
00:02:13,747 --> 00:02:15,715
this is the cruelest thing
you've ever done.
62
00:02:15,749 --> 00:02:17,050
You're the best, Dad.
63
00:02:17,084 --> 00:02:18,251
I-I-I...
64
00:02:21,255 --> 00:02:23,790
Awesome!
65
00:02:29,196 --> 00:02:30,830
Hey. Oh,
66
00:02:30,865 --> 00:02:32,565
is that my Bureau assessment
you're filling out?
67
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,726
Yes. They wanted me to,
because we're partners.
68
00:02:34,727 --> 00:02:35,227
Oh.
69
00:02:35,252 --> 00:02:37,036
But you're not
allowed to look at it.
70
00:02:37,037 --> 00:02:38,371
It's confidential.
What are all those, uh,
71
00:02:38,405 --> 00:02:40,373
papers there?
This is my
72
00:02:40,407 --> 00:02:41,836
answer to question 3a.
73
00:02:41,861 --> 00:02:43,861
3a? They only have
three little lines for that.
74
00:02:43,911 --> 00:02:45,229
It says use additional
paper, if necessary.
75
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:46,492
You must have at least 15
pieces of paper...
76
00:02:46,517 --> 00:02:48,014
Eighteen.
77
00:02:48,015 --> 00:02:51,117
18. On comportment?
Well, okay, don't look.
78
00:02:51,152 --> 00:02:54,220
You know this promotion
affects you, too.
79
00:02:54,255 --> 00:02:56,099
I was told to be objective
and dispassionate.
80
00:02:56,124 --> 00:02:57,857
That sounds terrible.
81
00:02:57,858 --> 00:03:00,160
I think your comportment
is excellent, by the way.
82
00:03:00,194 --> 00:03:01,394
Thank you.
For the most part.
83
00:03:01,428 --> 00:03:02,996
Right. Ah.
84
00:03:04,498 --> 00:03:06,499
Booth.
85
00:03:06,534 --> 00:03:08,067
Hey, Camille.
86
00:03:08,102 --> 00:03:10,003
Don't-Don't call me Seeley.
87
00:03:10,037 --> 00:03:11,070
Right. Okay.
88
00:03:11,105 --> 00:03:12,639
On our way.
89
00:03:12,673 --> 00:03:14,307
Oh.
90
00:03:16,810 --> 00:03:19,045
I really don't think
that's a good idea.
91
00:03:19,947 --> 00:03:21,147
Look, I'm just saying...
92
00:03:21,182 --> 00:03:22,482
Okay, it's your call.
93
00:03:22,516 --> 00:03:23,950
Got it. Bye.
94
00:03:23,984 --> 00:03:25,218
What was that?
95
00:03:25,252 --> 00:03:26,719
It's a body in the woods.
Oh.
96
00:03:26,754 --> 00:03:27,787
Okay, I'll get ready.
97
00:03:27,821 --> 00:03:29,455
Cam just wants me to go.
98
00:03:29,490 --> 00:03:32,959
What? I always go with you
to a murder scene.
99
00:03:32,993 --> 00:03:34,928
We're partners.
She's bringing Clark out on this one.
100
00:03:34,962 --> 00:03:37,830
Clark? I'm the head of forensic
anthropology. What is going on?
101
00:03:37,865 --> 00:03:40,586
Well, she thinks that this has
something to do with the Ghost Killer.
102
00:03:40,601 --> 00:03:42,335
And since, you know,
Clark is heading this up...
103
00:03:42,369 --> 00:03:44,804
She thinks I'm incapable
of being objective about
104
00:03:44,838 --> 00:03:46,376
the Ghost Killer,
which is absurd.
105
00:03:46,377 --> 00:03:48,448
I'm being dispassionate
about you; I'm coming.
106
00:03:48,473 --> 00:03:49,475
Technically,
107
00:03:49,476 --> 00:03:50,843
you know, she has
the jurisdiction to decide
108
00:03:50,878 --> 00:03:52,912
which tech goes.
Technically?
109
00:03:52,947 --> 00:03:55,048
I laid all the groundwork
for the Ghost Killer case.
110
00:03:55,082 --> 00:03:57,951
I know, but you know...
you know how you and Cam
111
00:03:57,985 --> 00:03:59,886
got into it, last time,
on this one.
112
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,255
What about you? Do you think
that I'm the best person
113
00:04:02,289 --> 00:04:04,691
to investigate this case?
Of course I do.
114
00:04:04,725 --> 00:04:06,726
It's not my call, okay?
Don't shoot the messenger here.
115
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,362
You just... Just take the
high road on this, all right?
116
00:04:09,396 --> 00:04:11,764
Just show Cam that
you're a team player.
117
00:04:23,344 --> 00:04:24,978
You know Bones
is pissed, don't you?
118
00:04:25,012 --> 00:04:27,013
Hey, look, I'm just
doing my job.
119
00:04:27,047 --> 00:04:28,581
Just tell Dr. Brennan
it wasn't my fault.
120
00:04:28,616 --> 00:04:29,882
- Good luck with that.
- Sorry, Seeley.
121
00:04:29,917 --> 00:04:31,551
I'm not gonna have her veer
122
00:04:31,585 --> 00:04:33,219
an investigation off track
because she wants this
123
00:04:33,254 --> 00:04:35,054
- to be the Ghost Killer.
- Well, you must have
124
00:04:35,089 --> 00:04:37,357
suspected something or you
wouldn't have excluded her.
125
00:04:37,391 --> 00:04:38,825
I do, but it's not
conclusive yet.
126
00:04:38,859 --> 00:04:40,493
The victim appears
to have been stabbed.
127
00:04:40,527 --> 00:04:42,562
Whoa! And the head
was chopped off.
128
00:04:42,596 --> 00:04:44,430
Actually, no.
The victim was strung up
129
00:04:44,465 --> 00:04:45,732
after she was
already dead.
130
00:04:45,766 --> 00:04:47,267
Oh, wow.
131
00:04:47,301 --> 00:04:49,035
Yeah. The body separated
from the head during decomp.
132
00:04:49,069 --> 00:04:50,403
It fell on a family
that was camping.
133
00:04:50,437 --> 00:04:51,904
I have a feeling
they're gonna be staying
134
00:04:51,939 --> 00:04:53,300
in hotels from now on.
Right, so...
135
00:04:53,307 --> 00:04:54,874
it was killed, then hung.
136
00:04:54,908 --> 00:04:56,376
All right? There's no attempt
to hide the body.
137
00:04:56,410 --> 00:04:57,710
The lack of a prominent glabella
138
00:04:57,745 --> 00:04:59,212
indicates the victim was female.
Okay, well,
139
00:04:59,246 --> 00:05:00,813
the body is very gooey, here.
140
00:05:00,848 --> 00:05:01,668
Any, uh... you got
time of death, bug boy?
141
00:05:01,669 --> 00:05:04,190
Predation, blow flies and rove beetles
put time of death
142
00:05:04,191 --> 00:05:05,491
between eight and ten days.
143
00:05:05,525 --> 00:05:07,226
So far, I hear nothing
that connects this
144
00:05:07,261 --> 00:05:08,461
to the Ghost Killer.
145
00:05:08,495 --> 00:05:09,528
Well, I need to compare this
146
00:05:09,563 --> 00:05:11,430
to the other potential victims.
147
00:05:11,465 --> 00:05:13,099
That's gonna take time, Agent Booth.
I don't have time.
148
00:05:13,133 --> 00:05:15,101
And I can't start a serial
killer investigation
149
00:05:15,135 --> 00:05:16,802
unless we're certain.
Oh, God.
150
00:05:16,837 --> 00:05:18,938
Why didn't I just wait
for the pictures?
151
00:05:18,972 --> 00:05:20,339
You know what?
I know I'm supposed to be
152
00:05:20,374 --> 00:05:22,108
a good soldier here,
and I'm trying real hard,
153
00:05:22,142 --> 00:05:23,342
but we all know that
Bones should be here.
154
00:05:23,377 --> 00:05:25,378
Which is why I am, Booth.
Yes.
155
00:05:25,412 --> 00:05:27,146
Dr. Brennan, I specifically
told you to wait until called.
156
00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:30,549
You are not to touch the rema...
The third finger
157
00:05:30,584 --> 00:05:32,585
on the right hand has
an avulsion fracture
158
00:05:32,619 --> 00:05:33,886
on the superior aspect
159
00:05:33,921 --> 00:05:36,055
of the distal phalanx.
The fingernail
160
00:05:36,089 --> 00:05:38,257
has been ripped off, just like
every other Ghost Killer victim.
161
00:05:38,292 --> 00:05:39,692
Did you not see this?
162
00:05:39,726 --> 00:05:40,893
Yes, I did.
163
00:05:40,928 --> 00:05:42,395
And you can check my notes.
164
00:05:42,429 --> 00:05:43,663
Now can I please
get back to work?
165
00:05:43,697 --> 00:05:44,997
Fighting among the squints
166
00:05:45,032 --> 00:05:46,832
can compromise the case.
167
00:05:46,867 --> 00:05:48,868
You don't want this going on
the report when the muckymucks
168
00:05:48,902 --> 00:05:50,403
- are deciding who to promote.
- You know what?
169
00:05:50,437 --> 00:05:51,637
I don't care
about the muckymucks.
170
00:05:51,672 --> 00:05:53,039
Bones should have been here
from the beginning.
171
00:05:53,073 --> 00:05:54,640
Seeley...
This evidence should have been linked
172
00:05:54,675 --> 00:05:56,676
- to the Ghost Killer immediately.
- I did.
173
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:59,278
I also noted the other fingers.
Unless you're
174
00:05:59,313 --> 00:06:00,613
too arrogant to
look at my findings.
175
00:06:00,647 --> 00:06:02,715
Oh!
Uh-oh.
176
00:06:04,918 --> 00:06:07,186
All of them
have avulsion fractures.
177
00:06:07,220 --> 00:06:08,921
Yes, all the nails
were ripped out.
178
00:06:08,956 --> 00:06:10,723
The Ghost Killer's
never done that before.
179
00:06:10,757 --> 00:06:12,091
Those fractures are old.
180
00:06:12,125 --> 00:06:13,659
Just check the remodeling.
181
00:06:13,694 --> 00:06:15,795
With traces of
182
00:06:15,829 --> 00:06:17,730
what seems to be an adhesive.
183
00:06:17,764 --> 00:06:19,605
Well, that might explain these.
What are those?
184
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,168
Well, maybe the victim
185
00:06:22,202 --> 00:06:24,470
couldn't grow her own nails,
so she wore artificial ones.
186
00:06:25,806 --> 00:06:28,107
These aren't artificial.
187
00:06:28,141 --> 00:06:29,642
These nails are real.
188
00:06:29,676 --> 00:06:30,977
Real?
189
00:06:31,011 --> 00:06:33,879

The Ghost Killer exists.
196
00:07:15,014 --> 00:07:17,682
Every victim
has had the fingernail
197

of the third distal
phalanx torn off.
198

That signature suggests
the work of the same killer.

multiple sharp force
trauma injuries.
201

There are

than the others.
Until the bones are clean,
205
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:36,334
we can't determine
which are post-
206
00:07:36,369 --> 00:07:37,736
and which are perimortem.
207
00:07:37,770 --> 00:07:40,005
So you two are
cool with each other?
208
00:07:40,039 --> 00:07:41,206
Oh. Dr. Edison's
209
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,774
work has been excellent.
210
00:07:42,809 --> 00:07:44,309
And I imagine
he is relieved
211
00:07:44,343 --> 00:07:45,610
to be working with me.
212
00:07:45,645 --> 00:07:46,912
As soon as
213
00:07:46,946 --> 00:07:48,613
Dr. Saroyan apologizes
214
00:07:48,648 --> 00:07:50,849
for excluding me...
Which you ignored.
215
00:07:50,883 --> 00:07:52,784
And which I would
ignore again.
216
00:07:52,819 --> 00:07:55,454
Oh, boy... I poked
a hornet's nest, didn't I?
217
00:07:55,488 --> 00:07:56,855
Am I the only professional here?
218
00:07:56,889 --> 00:07:58,790
Well, this bladder
seems to be intact,
219
00:07:58,825 --> 00:08:01,593
which means I'll be able
to run a tox screen.
220
00:08:01,627 --> 00:08:03,428
Has Dr. Hodgins returned
from the crime scene?
221
00:08:03,429 --> 00:08:05,130
I need these
wounds swabbed.
222
00:08:05,164 --> 00:08:06,364
He's still there,
looking for
223
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:08,900
fingernails and any
other particulates
224
00:08:08,935 --> 00:08:11,236
- that'll tell us who this victim is.
- The skull is intact.
225
00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:13,738
So how long do you think
it'll take you to get an I.D.?
226
00:08:13,773 --> 00:08:14,888
As soon as Brennan gives it
to me, I can...
227
00:08:14,913 --> 00:08:16,041
I don't think
228
00:08:16,042 --> 00:08:17,642
that'll be necessary.
Can you bring up
229
00:08:17,677 --> 00:08:19,878
Trent McNamara's
skull X-rays?
230
00:08:19,912 --> 00:08:21,546
- The last victim?
- Technically, not a victim.
231
00:08:21,581 --> 00:08:23,148
His death was ruled a suicide.
232
00:08:23,182 --> 00:08:24,683
You may want
to re-evaluate
233
00:08:24,717 --> 00:08:25,984
that ruling.
234
00:08:26,018 --> 00:08:27,385
Notice the forward prominence
235
00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:28,587
of the lower mandible.
236
00:08:28,621 --> 00:08:30,155
This is a rare
genetic marker
237
00:08:30,189 --> 00:08:32,357
known as prognathism.
238
00:08:32,391 --> 00:08:34,326
Now, bring up this victim.
239
00:08:35,895 --> 00:08:37,128
Mm-hmm.
240
00:08:37,163 --> 00:08:40,265
Same prognathism...
I mean, albeit mild.
241
00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:42,067
You think this victim
is a McNamara?
242
00:08:42,101 --> 00:08:43,335
Statistically,
243
00:08:43,369 --> 00:08:45,036
that's a reasonable conclusion,
244
00:08:45,071 --> 00:08:47,739
and since there was only one
surviving member of the family,
245
00:08:47,773 --> 00:08:50,041
this must be Trent's sister,
Stephanie.
246
00:08:50,076 --> 00:08:51,243
Excellent.
247
00:08:51,277 --> 00:08:52,544
But why would
the Ghost Killer
248
00:08:52,578 --> 00:08:54,513
target the McNamaras?
249
00:08:58,918 --> 00:09:01,720
In most of the previous cases,
the remains were hidden.
250
00:09:01,754 --> 00:09:03,034
Or the killings
were made to look
251
00:09:03,055 --> 00:09:04,456
like an accident.
252
00:09:04,490 --> 00:09:05,824
Hanging the victim
from the tree was brazen.
253
00:09:05,858 --> 00:09:07,158
It was theatrical, even.
254
00:09:07,193 --> 00:09:08,693
The Ghost Killer
is upping his game.
255
00:09:08,728 --> 00:09:09,861
He's thumbing his nose at us.
Her.
256
00:09:09,896 --> 00:09:12,097
Bones thinks that
the killer is a woman.
257
00:09:12,131 --> 00:09:13,698
- She's never been wrong.
- Good enough for me, cher.
258
00:09:13,733 --> 00:09:14,900
But why two McNamaras?
259
00:09:14,934 --> 00:09:16,167
There's never been
a connection
260
00:09:16,202 --> 00:09:17,402
between the victims before.
261
00:09:17,436 --> 00:09:18,603
That we know of.
262
00:09:18,638 --> 00:09:19,905
The connections
could all just
263
00:09:19,939 --> 00:09:21,339
be in his-- or her-- mind.
264
00:09:21,374 --> 00:09:23,074
Serial killers
often develop
265
00:09:23,109 --> 00:09:24,543
elaborate rationalizations
266
00:09:24,577 --> 00:09:25,944
to justify their actions.
267
00:09:25,978 --> 00:09:27,479
Hence the creepy fingernails.
268
00:09:27,513 --> 00:09:29,748
They put me off manicures,
I can tell you that.
269
00:09:29,782 --> 00:09:31,049
You know, what ties
her actions together
270
00:09:31,083 --> 00:09:32,984
could be impossible
for us to know
271
00:09:33,019 --> 00:09:35,086
until we talk to her.
Or maybe the killer just thought
272
00:09:35,121 --> 00:09:36,454
that Stephanie McNamara
273
00:09:36,489 --> 00:09:38,189
was investigating
her brother's death
274
00:09:38,224 --> 00:09:40,292
and killed her because
she was getting too close.
275
00:09:40,326 --> 00:09:41,693
Incoming.
276
00:09:43,563 --> 00:09:44,863
The Deputy Director?
277
00:09:44,897 --> 00:09:45,897
He never comes down here.
278
00:09:45,932 --> 00:09:46,898
You want a breath mint?
279
00:09:46,933 --> 00:09:47,966
Breath mint? No.
280
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:48,767
Mm.
281
00:09:48,801 --> 00:09:51,169
Agent Booth.
Yes.
282
00:09:51,203 --> 00:09:52,737
Ms. Julian.
283
00:09:53,906 --> 00:09:55,106
Uh, Dr. Sweets.
284
00:09:55,141 --> 00:09:56,274
I'm a profiler.
285
00:09:56,309 --> 00:09:57,709
Of course. Dr. Sweets.
286
00:09:57,743 --> 00:09:59,578
Just wanted to tell you
we understand
287
00:09:59,612 --> 00:10:00,845
the importance
of this case.
288
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,047
We'll offer you
289
00:10:02,081 --> 00:10:03,448
any support you need.
290
00:10:03,482 --> 00:10:05,083
Because the McNamaras
are involved, right?
291
00:10:05,117 --> 00:10:06,418
I'm sure Agent
Booth merely meant
292
00:10:06,452 --> 00:10:08,253
that since Stephanie
McNamara was...
293
00:10:08,287 --> 00:10:11,022
I know what Agent Booth meant.
And I appreciate his honesty.
294
00:10:11,057 --> 00:10:11,994
That's why you're on our short
list for the...
295
00:10:12,019 --> 00:10:12,891
I'm not in it
296
00:10:12,892 --> 00:10:14,726
for a promotion, sir, I just
want to catch the murderer.
297
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,127
Of course.
298
00:10:16,162 --> 00:10:17,329
And you're right about
the McNamaras.
299
00:10:17,363 --> 00:10:18,830
They were a very
powerful family.
300
00:10:18,864 --> 00:10:20,098
Wealth has its privileges.
301
00:10:20,132 --> 00:10:22,634
Yes, it does,
Ms. Julian.
302
00:10:22,668 --> 00:10:24,135
And there are people
more powerful than I
303
00:10:24,170 --> 00:10:26,137
that want this resolved.
Quickly.
304
00:10:26,172 --> 00:10:27,739
It'll take
as long as it takes, sir.
305
00:10:27,773 --> 00:10:29,741
I want to give Ms. Julian
a case that sticks.
306
00:10:31,377 --> 00:10:33,445
I would expect nothing less.
307
00:10:33,479 --> 00:10:35,480
Glad you're running point
on this one, Booth.
308
00:10:35,514 --> 00:10:37,916
Thank you, sir.
309
00:10:39,385 --> 00:10:40,952
Hey. It took a while,
310
00:10:40,987 --> 00:10:42,787
but I retrieved the other nails
from the crime scene.
311
00:10:42,822 --> 00:10:44,456
At least pieces of all of them.
Great.
312
00:10:44,490 --> 00:10:45,790
I'll check for DNA under them,
313
00:10:45,825 --> 00:10:47,325
in case the victim
scratched her assailant.
314
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,594
And I'll look at the rope
used for the noose.
315
00:10:49,629 --> 00:10:51,363
Some of the killer
might be on that, too.
316
00:10:51,397 --> 00:10:52,297
Dr. Hodgins?
317
00:10:52,331 --> 00:10:54,065
Yeah.
I'm sorry,
318
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:55,934
by the way.
I know you knew the family.
319
00:10:55,968 --> 00:10:57,669
Oh, yeah.
320
00:10:57,703 --> 00:11:01,706
The truth is, the family
was always strange, you know?
321
00:11:01,741 --> 00:11:04,376
Like they were living under a cloud.
A very wealthy cloud.
322
00:11:04,410 --> 00:11:06,077
Yeah, tons of money,
323
00:11:06,112 --> 00:11:08,380
and all that's left is murder,
sadness and secrets.
324
00:11:08,414 --> 00:11:11,349
I'm telling you, I'm doing
a hell of a lot better broke.
325
00:11:13,019 --> 00:11:15,720
Well, got the blood results.
326
00:11:15,755 --> 00:11:19,924
Wait a minute-- she tested
positive for alkaloid cytosine?
327
00:11:19,959 --> 00:11:22,727
Which is what?
It's also known as sophorine.
328
00:11:22,762 --> 00:11:24,429
It's part
of the Fabaceae family,
329
00:11:24,463 --> 00:11:26,031
like peas, beans, legumes.
330
00:11:26,065 --> 00:11:28,833
Hey, if sophorine is mixed
with dimethyl sulfoxide,
331
00:11:28,868 --> 00:11:30,435
it becomes an anesthetic.
332
00:11:30,469 --> 00:11:31,836
So, she was drugged?
333
00:11:31,871 --> 00:11:33,232
It's probably how
she was abducted.
334
00:11:33,239 --> 00:11:33,972
Is there any way to trace
335
00:11:33,973 --> 00:11:35,582
where the killer got
the anesthetic from?
336
00:11:35,607 --> 00:11:36,307
No.
337
00:11:36,308 --> 00:11:37,776
It has to be homemade.
338
00:11:37,810 --> 00:11:39,477
Homemade and,
therefore, untraceable.
339
00:11:39,512 --> 00:11:43,381
There's a reason
why we call the killer a ghost.
340
00:11:45,017 --> 00:11:47,686
So, the gardener at
341
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,120
the McNamaras' compound
was the last person
342
00:11:49,155 --> 00:11:52,090
to report seeing
Stephanie McNamara alive.
343
00:11:52,124 --> 00:11:54,526
You think she could have
made that anesthetic?
344
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:56,961
I imagine she'd need
a science background.
345
00:11:56,996 --> 00:12:00,165
Well, she dropped out of high school
to work for the McNamaras.
346
00:12:00,199 --> 00:12:02,467
You know, I wrote seven pages
on your problem-solving skills.
347
00:12:02,501 --> 00:12:05,236
Wow. Seven.
Which I said were excellent.
348
00:12:05,271 --> 00:12:07,906
Thanks, Bones.
Although, I admitted
349
00:12:07,940 --> 00:12:11,242
to being skeptical
about your reliance on your gut.
350
00:12:11,277 --> 00:12:13,111
But I explained it...
Huh?
351
00:12:13,145 --> 00:12:15,714
...by referencing
studies showing that
352
00:12:15,748 --> 00:12:17,849
gut instincts are merely
highly-developed
353
00:12:17,883 --> 00:12:19,551
observational powers.
354
00:12:19,585 --> 00:12:21,888
So it's probably your eyes
more than your gut.
355
00:12:21,889 --> 00:12:23,099
You know, you're
amazing, you know that?
356
00:12:23,124 --> 00:12:24,055
Yes.
357
00:12:24,056 --> 00:12:26,257
However, I'm not sure
what exemplary quality
358
00:12:26,292 --> 00:12:27,959
you're referencing--
my intellect, or...
359
00:12:27,993 --> 00:12:29,928
Your support.
360
00:12:29,962 --> 00:12:32,297
Your... Thanks.
361
00:12:32,331 --> 00:12:33,832
Thanks.
362
00:12:33,866 --> 00:12:35,500
How could I not support you?
363
00:12:35,534 --> 00:12:39,504
You believed in me, even when
there's no tangible evidence
364
00:12:39,538 --> 00:12:41,372
the Ghost Killer existed.
365
00:12:41,407 --> 00:12:43,875
I guess it was my gut.
366
00:12:47,847 --> 00:12:49,647
The tack room was
the last place I saw her.
367
00:12:49,682 --> 00:12:51,182
It was Sunday.
368
00:12:51,217 --> 00:12:53,218
Stephanie left at 10:00 a.m.
for her morning ride,
369
00:12:53,252 --> 00:12:54,719
and she never came back
to the house.
370
00:12:54,754 --> 00:12:56,221
Why didn't you
report her missing?
371
00:12:56,255 --> 00:12:57,989
I'm just an employee
of the McNamaras.
372
00:12:58,023 --> 00:12:59,858
I don't know her schedule.
373
00:12:59,892 --> 00:13:02,093
Sometimes she'd be gone
for weeks on a trip.
374
00:13:02,128 --> 00:13:03,995
You just, uh, tend the garden.
375
00:13:04,029 --> 00:13:05,597
That's right.
376
00:13:05,631 --> 00:13:08,666
Do you have any plants
in the Fabaceae family here?
377
00:13:08,701 --> 00:13:11,636
Yes. Peas and beans. Why?
378
00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:13,071
Well, she likes to garden, too.
379
00:13:17,009 --> 00:13:18,409
Look at this, Booth.
380
00:13:18,444 --> 00:13:20,211
What's that?
381
00:13:20,246 --> 00:13:22,614
Scratch marks.
382
00:13:26,619 --> 00:13:28,753
Stephanie?
383
00:13:29,889 --> 00:13:31,956
I don't think so.
384
00:13:31,991 --> 00:13:34,292
This dried blood
is highly oxidized.
385
00:13:34,326 --> 00:13:36,828
This happened a long time ago.
386
00:13:36,862 --> 00:13:39,430
What's that?
387
00:13:45,538 --> 00:13:46,871
Fragment of a fingernail.
388
00:13:46,906 --> 00:13:48,506
A fingernail.
389
00:13:48,541 --> 00:13:49,941
Okay, looks like
somebody was trying
390
00:13:49,942 --> 00:13:51,342
to claw their
way out of this.
391
00:13:51,377 --> 00:13:52,811
Do you know anything
about this?
392
00:13:52,845 --> 00:13:55,213
No.
393
00:13:55,247 --> 00:13:57,448
Hold up a second.
394
00:13:58,350 --> 00:14:00,618
These markings look recent.
395
00:14:00,653 --> 00:14:03,488
Someone kicked out,
was trying to get away.
396
00:14:03,522 --> 00:14:06,391
This is probably where
Stephanie McNamara was abducted.
397
00:14:11,101 --> 00:14:13,669
I've finished cataloguing
Stephanie's perimortem injuries.
398
00:14:13,703 --> 00:14:16,338
In total, 16 sharp force
trauma injuries,
399
00:14:16,373 --> 00:14:19,875
most of which were concentrated
on the torso and neck.
400
00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:22,645
Based on the striae, the weapon
had an irregular serrated blade.
401
00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:25,047
Any idea what was
used in the assault?
402
00:14:25,081 --> 00:14:27,750
Not yet. I'm having Dr. Hodgins
swab the wounds for trace.
403
00:14:27,784 --> 00:14:29,251
If there are plant particulates,
404
00:14:29,286 --> 00:14:31,220
it could help point
to the McNamara's gardener.
405
00:14:31,254 --> 00:14:33,622
So far, we've found
nothing that ties her
406
00:14:33,657 --> 00:14:36,725
to the abduction or the
preparation of the anesthetic.
407
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,794
No.
408
00:14:38,829 --> 00:14:41,030
Dr. Brennan...
409
00:14:41,064 --> 00:14:43,265
I just have to say
how much I appreciate
410
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:44,700
how accepting you've been
411
00:14:44,734 --> 00:14:46,602
about me working
with you on this case.
412
00:14:46,636 --> 00:14:48,704
Yes.
413
00:14:48,738 --> 00:14:51,874
That is rare for me,
isn't it?
414
00:14:51,908 --> 00:14:54,243
Yes, it is.
415
00:14:54,277 --> 00:14:56,946
And I know Pelant told you
you would never be able
416
00:14:56,980 --> 00:14:59,348
to catch this Ghost Killer
without his expertise.
417
00:14:59,382 --> 00:15:02,284
I'm determined
to prove him wrong.
418
00:15:02,319 --> 00:15:04,887
I appreciate that, Clark.
419
00:15:04,921 --> 00:15:07,990
And the nails?
420
00:15:08,024 --> 00:15:10,826
Oh! Well, that's actually
the most interesting finding.
421
00:15:10,861 --> 00:15:14,663
Oh. Next time, please lead with
the most interesting finding.
422
00:15:14,698 --> 00:15:16,198
Well, I guess I like the build.
423
00:15:16,233 --> 00:15:20,736
I'm more of a crescendo
kind of guy.
424
00:15:20,770 --> 00:15:21,871
Now...
425
00:15:24,140 --> 00:15:25,774
Notice the nail beds?
426
00:15:25,809 --> 00:15:28,744
They're torn and remodeled.
Any new nails
427
00:15:28,778 --> 00:15:30,446
Stephanie grew would have
been irregular at best,
428
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,982
if not totally deformed.
And look at the remodeling.
429
00:15:33,016 --> 00:15:35,451
These nails
were torn away
430
00:15:35,485 --> 00:15:37,887
at least 15 years ago.
Bent back and torn out.
431
00:15:37,921 --> 00:15:39,622
From clawing at something.
432
00:15:39,656 --> 00:15:41,624
Stephanie might have
been the one who was
433
00:15:41,658 --> 00:15:42,992
locked in that stable.
434
00:15:43,026 --> 00:15:44,426
It was her.
435
00:15:44,461 --> 00:15:45,928
The nail fragment you found
436
00:15:45,962 --> 00:15:47,897
in the wood of the stable door
matches Stephanie
437
00:15:47,931 --> 00:15:49,598
McNamara's DNA.
What about
438
00:15:49,633 --> 00:15:51,901
the other nails
Dr. Hodgins found?
439
00:15:51,935 --> 00:15:53,335
None of the DNA
matches Stephanie.
440
00:15:53,370 --> 00:15:55,037
I'm going through
the nails now,
441
00:15:55,071 --> 00:15:57,006
to see if I can find any matches.
So, the Ghost Killer might
442
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,510
have glued the nails from her
other victims onto Stephanie.
443
00:16:01,544 --> 00:16:03,679
But why?
444
00:16:08,051 --> 00:16:08,997
The SEC?
445
00:16:09,022 --> 00:16:10,552
Yeah. The McNamaras
had billions.
446
00:16:10,553 --> 00:16:12,421
I want to know who benefits
from Stephanie's murder.
447
00:16:12,455 --> 00:16:14,189
The Ghost Killer doesn't
care about money, Booth.
448
00:16:14,224 --> 00:16:15,624
She's fulfilling
an emotional need,
449
00:16:15,659 --> 00:16:17,326
not a financial one.
450
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,928
What if the gardener killed her?
Wouldn't that give you both?
451
00:16:18,962 --> 00:16:20,763
None of the other victims
fit the money profile.
452
00:16:20,797 --> 00:16:22,264
Lana Brewster,
Chloe Campbell--
453
00:16:22,299 --> 00:16:23,966
neither one was rich.
I don't care, okay?
454
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,935
When it comes to fortunes
like the McNamaras', okay,
455
00:16:25,969 --> 00:16:28,304
murders like this--
it's always about the money.
456
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,042
I'm still not
entirely clear on
457
00:16:33,076 --> 00:16:34,276
how the SEC can assist with
458
00:16:34,311 --> 00:16:36,045
a murder investigation,
Agent Booth.
459
00:16:36,079 --> 00:16:37,646
Oh, the McNamaras--
they have been investigated
460
00:16:37,681 --> 00:16:39,114
by you in the past.
461
00:16:39,149 --> 00:16:40,482
Eight times to be exact.
462
00:16:40,517 --> 00:16:42,484
Eight.
Those cases are sealed.
463
00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:44,353
As are the
settlements we reached.
464
00:16:44,387 --> 00:16:45,921
I know there's always a turf war
465
00:16:45,956 --> 00:16:48,090
between agencies.
Just remember,
466
00:16:48,124 --> 00:16:49,825
we're gonna win this one.
So why don't you be
467
00:16:49,859 --> 00:16:51,894
a good girl and help?
I can tell you that the
468
00:16:51,928 --> 00:16:53,429
formal investigations launched
469
00:16:53,463 --> 00:16:55,297
over the last 18 years
have included allegations
470
00:16:55,332 --> 00:16:56,832
of insider trading,
accounting fraud,
471
00:16:56,866 --> 00:16:59,368
market manipulation
and disclosure violations.
472
00:16:59,402 --> 00:17:01,170
One of those cases involved
473
00:17:01,204 --> 00:17:05,240
$132 million in tax violations
and missing funds.
474
00:17:05,275 --> 00:17:07,443
But you didn't recommend
prison time.
475
00:17:07,477 --> 00:17:10,523
As a prosecutor, that makes me
want to slap someone silly.
476
00:17:10,548 --> 00:17:12,301
The responsible entity
received a cease-and-desist
477
00:17:12,345 --> 00:17:13,181
and paid a fine.
478
00:17:13,182 --> 00:17:15,183
Wait a second. Entity.
479
00:17:15,217 --> 00:17:18,186
Okay, Giles McNamara is an entity now?
We try to avoid prosecutions.
480
00:17:18,220 --> 00:17:19,854
They're time-consuming
and difficult to prove.
481
00:17:19,888 --> 00:17:22,223
Well, it didn't
take us long to prove
482
00:17:22,257 --> 00:17:23,624
that McNamara used one
of his shell companies
483
00:17:23,659 --> 00:17:25,059
to pay off a medical examiner
484
00:17:25,094 --> 00:17:26,761
in the tune of, what,
two million dollars?
485
00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:29,130
In the Madoff case,
we were looking
486
00:17:29,164 --> 00:17:30,999
at missing funds in
excess of $65 billion,
487
00:17:31,033 --> 00:17:34,502
so excuse me if two million
didn't raise a red flag.
488
00:17:34,536 --> 00:17:36,904
We're going to need
access to the McNamara
489
00:17:36,939 --> 00:17:39,741
financials
over the past 18 years.
490
00:17:39,775 --> 00:17:42,176
Corporate filings,
disclosure documents,
491
00:17:42,211 --> 00:17:44,512
regulatory examination
reports, penalties...
492
00:17:44,546 --> 00:17:49,417
That is all confidential,
proprietary information.
493
00:17:49,451 --> 00:17:51,853
I would like to help, but...
All right, you know what?
494
00:17:51,887 --> 00:17:53,755
You really don't want to
push me right now, Ms. Kent,
495
00:17:53,789 --> 00:17:55,156
'cause I will
get Ms. Julian here
496
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:57,658
to get the DOJ to issue
a warrant to put you
497
00:17:57,693 --> 00:18:00,928
in jail for impeding
a murder investigation.
498
00:18:07,503 --> 00:18:09,737
See how easy that was, cherie?
499
00:18:15,577 --> 00:18:17,211
Hey.
Hey.
500
00:18:17,246 --> 00:18:20,148
Booth and Caroline
forced the SEC
501
00:18:20,182 --> 00:18:22,016
to send over their
investigations
502
00:18:22,051 --> 00:18:23,651
of McNamara and his
holding companies,
503
00:18:23,685 --> 00:18:27,288
his offshore entities, the works.
That's great.
504
00:18:27,322 --> 00:18:29,357
Well, there's three
hard drives worth.
505
00:18:29,391 --> 00:18:33,394
There's over a million and a
half pages covering 18 years.
506
00:18:33,429 --> 00:18:35,730
It just feels like we're
being buried in paperwork.
507
00:18:35,764 --> 00:18:37,432
So show 'em you can't be buried.
508
00:18:37,466 --> 00:18:40,535
Hey, I may have found a link
to the gardener for Booth.
509
00:18:40,569 --> 00:18:42,003
So, look at this.
510
00:18:42,037 --> 00:18:43,571
I found phosphorous, nitrates,
511
00:18:43,605 --> 00:18:47,041
chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium,
Flumetralin,
512
00:18:47,076 --> 00:18:48,409
as well as organochlorides.
513
00:18:48,444 --> 00:18:49,944
Oh, I know that one!
514
00:18:49,978 --> 00:18:51,379
It's a pesticide.
515
00:18:51,413 --> 00:18:53,247
I use it for our vegetables.
Yeah.
516
00:18:53,282 --> 00:18:55,349
That's right. Well, Stephanie
actually had it on her clothes,
517
00:18:55,384 --> 00:18:58,052
so, it's enough for a search
warrant to match the chemicals
518
00:18:58,087 --> 00:19:00,154
that the gardener uses as well
as any potential weapons
519
00:19:00,189 --> 00:19:01,689
that Steph was stabbed with.
520
00:19:01,723 --> 00:19:04,592
Well, but couldn't Stephanie
just have had that stuff
521
00:19:04,626 --> 00:19:05,688
on her clothes just by
being on the estate?
522
00:19:05,689 --> 00:19:08,481
Yes.. Yes, but the Flumetralin
and the pesticide
523
00:19:08,482 --> 00:19:10,550
was inside the stab wounds
that I swabbed.
524
00:19:10,584 --> 00:19:13,119
They were on the murder weapon.
525
00:19:15,089 --> 00:19:16,823
It's always the help, right?
526
00:19:16,857 --> 00:19:18,258
The butler did it?
527
00:19:18,292 --> 00:19:20,593
We found trace
of the Flumetralin you use
528
00:19:20,628 --> 00:19:21,961
within Stephanie's injuries.
529
00:19:21,996 --> 00:19:23,429
"Flumetramin." Right.
What?
530
00:19:23,464 --> 00:19:25,031
Right. Translation is,
you stabbed her
531
00:19:25,065 --> 00:19:27,300
- with your gardening tool.
- My colleagues at
532
00:19:27,334 --> 00:19:29,302
the Jeffersonian are
testing your tools now.
533
00:19:29,336 --> 00:19:32,805
Can you turn your head
to the side, please?
534
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,440
What? No.
535
00:19:34,475 --> 00:19:35,775
Okay.
536
00:19:37,745 --> 00:19:40,513
I didn't kill Stephanie.
537
00:19:40,547 --> 00:19:41,981
I grew up on the estate.
538
00:19:42,016 --> 00:19:44,183
Stephanie and I played
together as kids.
539
00:19:44,218 --> 00:19:45,485
What is she doing?
540
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:46,586
I don't know, but, uh,
541
00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:48,154
you know,
if you have nothing to hide,
542
00:19:48,188 --> 00:19:49,589
why would you be nervous?
Why would I kill her?
543
00:19:49,623 --> 00:19:51,224
The McNamaras were good to me.
544
00:19:51,258 --> 00:19:52,859
Even if the estate sold,
545
00:19:52,893 --> 00:19:55,795
I still have a pension
and severance package.
546
00:19:55,829 --> 00:19:57,163
Maybe you felt you
deserved more.
547
00:19:57,197 --> 00:19:58,598
May I feel
your mandible?
548
00:19:58,632 --> 00:20:00,533
It'll just
take a second.
549
00:20:00,567 --> 00:20:01,834
Do I have to?
550
00:20:01,869 --> 00:20:03,836
I would.
551
00:20:03,871 --> 00:20:05,938
Fine.
552
00:20:13,714 --> 00:20:14,747
Hmm.
553
00:20:14,782 --> 00:20:16,949
You felt you deserved more
554
00:20:16,984 --> 00:20:18,851
because
you're Stephanie's sister.
555
00:20:18,886 --> 00:20:20,153
What?
556
00:20:20,187 --> 00:20:22,155
What?
Half-sister probably,
557
00:20:22,189 --> 00:20:23,723
but she has the same
slight prognathism
558
00:20:23,757 --> 00:20:25,024
as Stephanie, although
559
00:20:25,059 --> 00:20:26,759
hers was more prominent.
560
00:20:26,794 --> 00:20:28,227
She's a McNamara?
561
00:20:28,262 --> 00:20:30,063
Yes. I am sure
that a DNA test will prove
562
00:20:30,097 --> 00:20:31,731
that Giles McNamara
was her father.
563
00:20:31,765 --> 00:20:35,168
What? You're wrong and crazy.
564
00:20:35,202 --> 00:20:37,603
I assure you I am neither.
I wouldn't call her wrong and crazy.
565
00:20:37,638 --> 00:20:39,205
And it was common knowledge
566
00:20:39,239 --> 00:20:40,573
that Giles McNamara
wasn't a faithful husband.
567
00:20:40,607 --> 00:20:41,974
And your mother
worked on the estate.
568
00:20:42,009 --> 00:20:43,643
Why don't you
do the math?
569
00:20:43,677 --> 00:20:45,511
As the last
McNamara left alive,
570
00:20:45,546 --> 00:20:47,246
even as an illegitimate one,
571
00:20:47,281 --> 00:20:49,515
you stand to inherit
a significant amount of money.
572
00:20:49,550 --> 00:20:51,250
Billions of
dollars, Bones.
573
00:20:51,285 --> 00:20:53,526
Billions of reasons why you
would want to kill Stephanie.
574
00:20:55,689 --> 00:20:57,657
I ran the DNA
on each individual nail
575
00:20:57,691 --> 00:20:59,959
that was glued on Stephanie.
Mm-hmm.
576
00:20:59,993 --> 00:21:01,527
You were right.
577
00:21:01,562 --> 00:21:03,229
They match all the other victims
you identified.
578
00:21:03,263 --> 00:21:05,798
Chloe Campbell,
Lana Brewster, Carla Hopkins,
579
00:21:05,833 --> 00:21:08,368
Timothy Monroe, Michael Windsor,
Heather Mendez,
580
00:21:08,402 --> 00:21:10,636
Alex Webber and Trent McNamara.
And since Stephanie
581
00:21:10,671 --> 00:21:12,972
was wearing Trent's nail,
I can confirm that Trent is
582
00:21:13,006 --> 00:21:15,675
one of the victims of the Ghost Killer.
And the gardener
583
00:21:15,709 --> 00:21:17,076
would have had contact
with Lana Brewster,
584
00:21:17,111 --> 00:21:18,845
Trent and Stephanie.
585
00:21:18,879 --> 00:21:21,114
We should have her check the
other victims to determine...
586
00:21:21,148 --> 00:21:22,648
Angela already has.
587
00:21:23,717 --> 00:21:26,018
Hey, so, these
are the locations
588
00:21:26,053 --> 00:21:28,287
where each of the Ghost Killer
victims were murdered.
589
00:21:28,322 --> 00:21:31,124
Once Cam got me the names,
I was able to create
590
00:21:31,158 --> 00:21:33,793
a timeline of who was killed
where and when.
591
00:21:33,827 --> 00:21:35,094
The McNamara family
592
00:21:35,129 --> 00:21:36,696
expense accounts and
travel records
593
00:21:36,730 --> 00:21:38,831
were on the hard drives
the SEC sent over.
594
00:21:38,866 --> 00:21:40,333
I was able
to place Stephanie
595
00:21:40,367 --> 00:21:43,970
- at each of the murder sites.
- Stephanie?
596
00:21:44,004 --> 00:21:45,405
Yeah.
597
00:21:45,439 --> 00:21:47,407
Heather Mendez, California,
November 2004.
598
00:21:47,441 --> 00:21:49,776
Stephanie was
in Los Angeles
599
00:21:49,810 --> 00:21:51,477
hosting a McNamara Foundation
600
00:21:51,512 --> 00:21:52,779
charity event.
601
00:21:52,813 --> 00:21:54,580
Timothy Monroe,
Texas, May 2012.
602
00:21:54,615 --> 00:21:56,582
Stephanie was in town
for the wedding
603
00:21:56,617 --> 00:21:58,251
of her college roommate.
604
00:21:58,285 --> 00:22:01,754
So Stephanie put
those nails on herself.
605
00:22:01,789 --> 00:22:03,055
Stephanie McNamara
606
00:22:03,090 --> 00:22:05,091
was the Ghost Killer.
607
00:22:05,125 --> 00:22:07,927
But who killed Stephanie?
608
00:22:09,950 --> 00:22:12,556
The McNamaras are American
royalty, for God's sake.
609
00:22:12,557 --> 00:22:14,558
I mean, so what the hell
prompts a princess
610
00:22:14,592 --> 00:22:17,060
to go on a killing spree?
Her father's megalomania,
611
00:22:17,095 --> 00:22:18,929
for one thing.
Giles McNamara had
612
00:22:18,963 --> 00:22:21,198
a pathological need
to dominate and control
613
00:22:21,232 --> 00:22:23,761
every aspect of his life,
including his family.
614
00:22:23,786 --> 00:22:24,501
We found DNA
615
00:22:24,502 --> 00:22:26,270
and blood evidence
that indicates
616
00:22:26,304 --> 00:22:28,305
that Stephanie McNamara
was abused as a girl.
617
00:22:28,339 --> 00:22:30,641
When we pressed the
gardener, she admitted
618
00:22:30,675 --> 00:22:33,210
that McNamara used to lock
his daughter in the tack room
619
00:22:33,244 --> 00:22:34,812
if she did anything wrong.
And Stephanie
620
00:22:34,846 --> 00:22:37,881
- tried to claw her way out.
- Poor child
621
00:22:37,916 --> 00:22:39,188
tore her nails up so badly
622
00:22:39,213 --> 00:22:41,285
that eventually she had
none left, to speak of.
623
00:22:41,286 --> 00:22:43,720
Which is why she took
the fingernails from her victims.
624
00:22:43,755 --> 00:22:45,956
Symbolically,
she was replacing
625
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:48,492
something that she felt
her father had stolen from her.
626
00:22:48,526 --> 00:22:50,327
But you still have one nail
you haven't I.D.'d.
627
00:22:50,361 --> 00:22:51,895
We're working on it now.
Yes, and we have
628
00:22:51,930 --> 00:22:53,764
to assume it's another victim
we don't know about.
629
00:22:53,798 --> 00:22:56,767
My God.
And through all of this,
630
00:22:56,801 --> 00:22:59,036
no one at the McNamara estate
ever called in the abuse
631
00:22:59,070 --> 00:22:59,964
to the authorities?
632
00:22:59,989 --> 00:23:01,738
The gardener was
around Stephanie's age.
633
00:23:01,739 --> 00:23:04,741
She probably thought if she
said anything, she'd be next.
634
00:23:04,776 --> 00:23:07,010
So far this half sister's
our best suspect, though?
635
00:23:07,045 --> 00:23:07,945
Yes, sir.
636
00:23:08,947 --> 00:23:10,447
The whole damn country believes
637
00:23:10,481 --> 00:23:11,982
the government lets people
638
00:23:12,016 --> 00:23:13,450
like the McNamaras
get away with murder,
639
00:23:13,484 --> 00:23:16,320
and for the past
18 years, we have.
640
00:23:16,354 --> 00:23:18,422
I want this put to bed, Booth.
641
00:23:18,456 --> 00:23:20,123
I want convictions.
642
00:23:20,158 --> 00:23:21,625
No loose ends.
643
00:23:21,659 --> 00:23:22,593
Yes, sir.
644
00:23:28,833 --> 00:23:31,068
So, I was compiling the results
from the pollen and particulates
645
00:23:31,102 --> 00:23:32,023
I found on Stephanie...
646
00:23:32,026 --> 00:23:33,670
To match them to what's grown
on the McNamara estate.
647
00:23:33,671 --> 00:23:36,540
Yeah, but in the stab wound,
I found traces of Nicotiana tobacum.
648
00:23:36,574 --> 00:23:38,756
Tobacco? Wait a minute,
wasn't Stephanie a smoker?
649
00:23:38,757 --> 00:23:40,517
Well, she was,
but there was no other tobacco
650
00:23:40,527 --> 00:23:42,076
or traces of cigarettes
found on her.
651
00:23:42,077 --> 00:23:43,660
So why is there tobacco
residue on the murder weapon?
652
00:23:43,661 --> 00:23:45,228
I don't know, I don't know.
I'm gonna run everything
653
00:23:45,262 --> 00:23:46,463
through the mass spec again,
see if I missed something.
654
00:23:46,497 --> 00:23:47,931
The last fingernail
655
00:23:47,965 --> 00:23:51,267
gave me a DNA match
on the unknown victim--
656
00:23:51,302 --> 00:23:53,003
Maya Zinkow.
657
00:23:53,037 --> 00:23:56,106
15 years old. Died 20 years ago.
Well, that's by far
658
00:23:56,140 --> 00:23:57,907
- the youngest victim.
- Wait a minute.
659
00:23:57,942 --> 00:24:00,043
Maya Zinkow?
Well, she lived in the same town
660
00:24:00,077 --> 00:24:01,244
that Stephanie and I grew up in.
661
00:24:01,278 --> 00:24:03,146
I mean, they were classmates.
662
00:24:03,180 --> 00:24:04,992
Apparently, the murderer was
found and convicted.
663
00:24:04,993 --> 00:24:06,660
Well, yeah. He was a teacher
at the school; I remember this.
664
00:24:07,184 --> 00:24:08,685
I mean, everyone said
he was the nicest guy.
665
00:24:08,719 --> 00:24:10,587
Well, he might have been.
Dr. Brennan's
666
00:24:10,621 --> 00:24:13,857
having Maya's exhumed so she can
link Stephanie to the murder.
667
00:24:13,891 --> 00:24:15,959
You mean she started
killing at 15?
668
00:24:15,993 --> 00:24:17,994
I guess she was a prodigy.
669
00:24:23,501 --> 00:24:26,102
Dr. Herman Kessler--
served 20 years
670
00:24:26,137 --> 00:24:27,771
for killing that girl.
671
00:24:27,805 --> 00:24:30,407
He was her biology teacher.
No prior record.
672
00:24:30,441 --> 00:24:33,710
He was accused of rape, too.
No, that wasn't proven.
673
00:24:33,744 --> 00:24:36,880
It only took the jury
four hours to find him guilty.
674
00:24:36,914 --> 00:24:39,516
No juror wants to be responsible
for letting a monster go free.
675
00:24:39,550 --> 00:24:40,950
Kessler was released
six months ago.
676
00:24:40,985 --> 00:24:42,852
It sounds like he
had good reason
677
00:24:42,887 --> 00:24:44,721
to want revenge
against the person that actually
678
00:24:44,755 --> 00:24:46,149
committed the crime.
679
00:24:46,174 --> 00:24:47,690
So he killed
Stephanie McNamara
680
00:24:47,691 --> 00:24:49,826
to set the
record straight.
681
00:24:49,860 --> 00:24:51,394
But how did Kessler
know that Stephanie
682
00:24:51,429 --> 00:24:53,329
killed this girl?
We just found out ourselves.
683
00:24:53,364 --> 00:24:55,799
Well, it looks like
the casket's made of wood.
684
00:24:55,833 --> 00:24:57,834
Depending on how it's sealed,
we may have
685
00:24:57,868 --> 00:25:00,937
a viable set of remains
that could give us answers.
686
00:25:00,971 --> 00:25:02,272
Pull that bolt
out of there.
687
00:25:02,306 --> 00:25:04,174
Hang on, there's one more.
688
00:25:04,208 --> 00:25:05,475
All right.
689
00:25:09,380 --> 00:25:11,214
Mummified,
so she wasn't embalmed.
690
00:25:11,248 --> 00:25:12,982
I might be able to get
691
00:25:13,017 --> 00:25:15,285
tox results from the tissue.
These injuries
692
00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:17,687
seem to be stab wounds--
violent,
693
00:25:17,721 --> 00:25:20,623
like the wounds on Stephanie.
Bones, are you satisfied
694
00:25:20,658 --> 00:25:22,258
that this is, uh, Maya Zinkow?
695
00:25:22,293 --> 00:25:24,194
There's an excellent chance.
696
00:25:24,228 --> 00:25:26,896
All right, let's
get her back to the lab, ASAP.
697
00:25:26,931 --> 00:25:28,364
Um, is Caroline having
698
00:25:28,399 --> 00:25:30,033
the medical examiner's
report sent over?
699
00:25:30,067 --> 00:25:31,868
It's gonna be at your office
when you get back.
700
00:25:31,902 --> 00:25:34,704
I'm gonna get Sweets;
we'll try and locate Kessler.
701
00:25:38,142 --> 00:25:39,776
The M.E. report indicates
702
00:25:39,810 --> 00:25:41,744
that the victim was placed
inside the casket
703
00:25:41,779 --> 00:25:46,082
at the coroner's office and then
taken straight to the cemetery.
704
00:25:46,117 --> 00:25:48,451
Explains why
she wasn't embalmed.
705
00:25:48,486 --> 00:25:50,386
But it raises more questions
than it answers.
706
00:25:50,421 --> 00:25:52,055
Standard procedure
is to release the remains
707
00:25:52,089 --> 00:25:55,191
to the family and have them
go through a funeral home.
708
00:25:55,226 --> 00:25:57,193
None of the stab wounds
have been catalogued.
709
00:25:57,228 --> 00:26:01,131
Just the injuries
to the C3 and the clavicle.
710
00:26:01,165 --> 00:26:03,533
Well, even cursory looks
indicate that there's
711
00:26:03,567 --> 00:26:05,969
12, 13, 14 wounds
to the ribs, sternum...
712
00:26:06,003 --> 00:26:08,605
As well as the avulsion fracture
where her fingernail
713
00:26:08,639 --> 00:26:10,907
was ripped off.
These look like
714
00:26:10,941 --> 00:26:13,676
almost the same injuries
we found on Stephanie McNamara.
715
00:26:13,711 --> 00:26:16,112
This report is as incompetent
as any I've seen.
716
00:26:16,147 --> 00:26:19,048
Who would sign off
on a job like...
717
00:26:19,083 --> 00:26:20,416
Oh, God.
718
00:26:20,451 --> 00:26:22,085
What?
719
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,255
'Cause that sounded
like a bad "Oh, God."
720
00:26:25,289 --> 00:26:27,991
The M.E. who signed off
on Maya's autopsy,
721
00:26:28,025 --> 00:26:30,660
it's the same one who worked
on Lana Brewster's body.
722
00:26:30,694 --> 00:26:32,629
The one Giles McNamara paid off.
723
00:26:32,663 --> 00:26:35,131
Could he have known that
his daughter was killing
724
00:26:35,166 --> 00:26:37,333
all these people and not done
anything about it?
725
00:26:37,368 --> 00:26:39,469
Oh, God.
726
00:26:39,503 --> 00:26:43,306
How did Kessler get
this information?
727
00:26:49,813 --> 00:26:52,115
Like I said, I haven't seen
Kessler in awhile.
728
00:26:52,149 --> 00:26:53,550
What's "awhile"?
729
00:26:53,584 --> 00:26:55,952
Four or five days.
Could be longer.
730
00:26:55,986 --> 00:26:59,455
Kessler, he's a quiet one.
731
00:27:01,192 --> 00:27:03,326
Isn't that what they always say
about psycho killers,
732
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:04,627
"He was a real quiet one"?
733
00:27:04,662 --> 00:27:07,163
Nobody said anything
about a killer, sir.
734
00:27:07,198 --> 00:27:08,531
I read the papers.
735
00:27:08,566 --> 00:27:09,999
So what are we looking at here?
736
00:27:10,034 --> 00:27:11,901
It's gruesome, right?
Like, Dahmer gruesome?
737
00:27:11,936 --> 00:27:12,936
Just open the door.
738
00:27:12,970 --> 00:27:14,270
Give me one detail.
Something juicy.
739
00:27:14,305 --> 00:27:16,005
Now, look, you're familiar
with the term
740
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,273
"obstruction of justice"?
741
00:27:17,308 --> 00:27:20,510
Feds, you're always such
hard-asses.
742
00:27:20,544 --> 00:27:21,911
Okay, take care.
743
00:27:28,385 --> 00:27:30,320
Hmm.
744
00:27:30,354 --> 00:27:33,323
File boxes
and nothing else.
745
00:27:33,357 --> 00:27:34,991
No personal effects.
746
00:27:35,025 --> 00:27:36,593
He really did not care
747
00:27:36,627 --> 00:27:38,261
about building
a life after prison.
748
00:27:38,295 --> 00:27:39,562
Look at this, huh?
749
00:27:39,597 --> 00:27:41,864
Information
about McNamara.
750
00:27:44,568 --> 00:27:48,972
Hmm... It's like he made a hobby
collecting stuff about him.
751
00:27:49,006 --> 00:27:50,240
I'd say...
752
00:27:50,274 --> 00:27:52,475
it's safe to call it
an obsession.
753
00:27:52,509 --> 00:27:54,244
Obsession? I bet
all these boxes are full
754
00:27:54,278 --> 00:27:55,645
of stuff about McNamara.
755
00:27:57,047 --> 00:27:58,414
Look at this.
756
00:27:58,449 --> 00:28:01,084
What do those
blueprints say?
757
00:28:01,118 --> 00:28:04,320
The McNamaras' estate.
758
00:28:04,355 --> 00:28:06,456
Oh, my G...
So Kessler used that
759
00:28:06,490 --> 00:28:09,459
to plan Stephanie's
abduction.
760
00:28:09,493 --> 00:28:12,395
What about
that other set?
761
00:28:12,429 --> 00:28:14,697
This is from another house.
762
00:28:14,732 --> 00:28:16,933
Kessler's going after
someone else.
763
00:28:19,670 --> 00:28:21,501
So, Angela's looking through
the Hall of Records
764
00:28:21,502 --> 00:28:23,549
for a house that matches
the second set of blueprints.
765
00:28:23,550 --> 00:28:25,351
Yeah, we now know that most
of this was obtained
766
00:28:25,385 --> 00:28:26,485
while he was in prison.
767
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,521
He planned on
filing an appeal,
768
00:28:28,555 --> 00:28:30,256
so that gave him access
to everything
769
00:28:30,290 --> 00:28:31,624
even remotely related
to the case.
770
00:28:31,658 --> 00:28:33,526
He never filed for an appeal.
771
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,628
Yeah, that's 'cause it was
never about exoneration.
772
00:28:35,662 --> 00:28:37,329
It was always about revenge.
You're saying
773
00:28:37,364 --> 00:28:39,999
that he knew the McNamaras were
involved this whole time?
774
00:28:40,033 --> 00:28:41,801
It's the only thing
that makes sense.
775
00:28:41,835 --> 00:28:44,036
Kessler knew that he couldn't
fight someone as powerful
776
00:28:44,071 --> 00:28:45,538
as them in court.
777
00:28:45,572 --> 00:28:47,306
So the man
spent 20 years in prison
778
00:28:47,340 --> 00:28:48,741
finding a way
to even the score.
779
00:28:48,775 --> 00:28:50,443
In his mind,
it was the only way
780
00:28:50,477 --> 00:28:52,711
he could get justice--
but here's our biggest find.
781
00:28:52,746 --> 00:28:55,114
Those are the crime scene
photos of Maya Zinkow.
782
00:28:55,148 --> 00:28:57,683
Wait a second.
I thought these never existed.
783
00:28:57,717 --> 00:28:58,884
According to
the local police
784
00:28:58,919 --> 00:29:00,653
and the FBI,
they don't exist.
785
00:29:00,687 --> 00:29:03,889
Something about the original
negatives being "damaged."
786
00:29:03,924 --> 00:29:06,074
I can only assume
someone was trying to bury them
787
00:29:06,075 --> 00:29:06,836
for McNamara.
788
00:29:06,837 --> 00:29:09,395
McNamara must have someone
working on the inside.
789
00:29:09,396 --> 00:29:11,030
But how did
Kessler get them?
790
00:29:11,065 --> 00:29:13,266
You devote every waking hour
for 20 years,
791
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:14,734
you uncover a lot.
792
00:29:14,768 --> 00:29:17,770
Yeah, well, I want to know
who hid all this stuff.
793
00:29:17,805 --> 00:29:19,572
The bone defects
on the distal ends
794
00:29:19,606 --> 00:29:22,824
of the right radius
and ulna suggest
795
00:29:22,825 --> 00:29:26,728
the implement entered with
a left-to-right trajectory.
796
00:29:26,763 --> 00:29:28,363
I'm noticing the same thing
797
00:29:28,398 --> 00:29:31,934
on the anterior surface
of the manubrium.
798
00:29:31,968 --> 00:29:34,436
The directionality
on the report showed
799
00:29:34,470 --> 00:29:36,572
a right-to-left trajectory.
800
00:29:36,606 --> 00:29:38,674
We could go through
this all day.
801
00:29:38,708 --> 00:29:40,576
The M.E.'s report
is a complete fiction.
802
00:29:40,610 --> 00:29:42,878
It was clearly written
to set up Kessler.
803
00:29:42,912 --> 00:29:45,180
Yes, but what's most interesting
is what's left out.
804
00:29:45,215 --> 00:29:47,345
Stephanie McNamara's wounds
mirror almost exactly
805
00:29:47,346 --> 00:29:49,588
the wounds suffered
by Maya Zinkow.
806
00:29:49,589 --> 00:29:51,590
And as far as we know,
Kessler's the only one
807
00:29:51,624 --> 00:29:52,925
that had access to these photos.
808
00:29:52,959 --> 00:29:54,359
Which leaves little doubt
809
00:29:54,394 --> 00:29:56,261
that Kessler killed
Stephanie McNamara.
810
00:29:56,296 --> 00:29:58,297
There was a rape charge in here.
811
00:29:58,331 --> 00:29:59,698
Yeah, the charge was dropped.
812
00:29:59,732 --> 00:30:01,400
Because they didn't want
the body to be examined.
813
00:30:01,434 --> 00:30:03,969
The flesh is desiccated,
but I found some evidence
814
00:30:04,003 --> 00:30:05,671
of damage to the cervix,
815
00:30:05,705 --> 00:30:09,074
and microscopic sections show
816
00:30:09,109 --> 00:30:11,210
associated tissue disruption
and hemorrhaging
817
00:30:11,244 --> 00:30:12,978
which is consistent
with having been raped.
818
00:30:13,012 --> 00:30:14,546
There was no rape kit
in evidence.
819
00:30:14,581 --> 00:30:16,148
And how would Stephanie
be involved?
820
00:30:16,182 --> 00:30:17,583
I mean, she certainly
didn't rape Maya
821
00:30:17,617 --> 00:30:18,650
before killing her.
822
00:30:18,685 --> 00:30:20,252
Well, it appears
that someone did.
823
00:30:20,286 --> 00:30:23,255
You're going to retrieve
a sample from the victim?
824
00:30:23,289 --> 00:30:24,756
It's been 20 years.
825
00:30:24,791 --> 00:30:27,793
Seminal DNA yielding
a complete pattern
826
00:30:27,827 --> 00:30:29,928
after 20 years of decomp
is a long shot,
827
00:30:29,963 --> 00:30:31,363
but it's not impossible.
828
00:30:31,397 --> 00:30:33,298
And we don't have
any other options.
829
00:30:33,333 --> 00:30:34,766
Hey, Cam,
830
00:30:34,801 --> 00:30:35,801
I think I found something
831
00:30:35,835 --> 00:30:37,069
that you might want to see.
832
00:30:37,103 --> 00:30:39,304
I'd been searching
the Hall of Records
833
00:30:39,339 --> 00:30:41,440
and Building
and Safety for DC
834
00:30:41,474 --> 00:30:44,776
and Maryland,
Virginia, and Delaware,
835
00:30:44,811 --> 00:30:47,312
and I finally found
a match
836
00:30:47,347 --> 00:30:49,081
for the blueprints
Booth sent over.
837
00:30:49,115 --> 00:30:51,250
515 North Alfred
Street, Arlington, Virginia.
838
00:30:51,284 --> 00:30:52,251
Who lives there?
839
00:30:52,285 --> 00:30:53,719
Congressman Steven Palter.
840
00:30:53,753 --> 00:30:55,387
Why would Kessler be going
841
00:30:55,421 --> 00:30:56,622
after a congressman?
842
00:30:56,656 --> 00:30:57,823
Turns out
that Congressman Palter
843
00:30:57,857 --> 00:30:58,957
used to be Judge Palter.
844
00:30:58,992 --> 00:31:00,893
He presided over
the Maya Zinkow case.
845
00:31:00,927 --> 00:31:03,765
Two years later, the McNamaras
helped fund congressional campaign.
846
00:31:03,766 --> 00:31:05,067
Uh-huh-- through
shell companies.
847
00:31:05,101 --> 00:31:06,835
Of course it was
through shell companies.
848
00:31:06,869 --> 00:31:10,606
Cam got a viable semen sample
from Maya Zinkow's remains
849
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,074
and she got a DNA match.
850
00:31:12,108 --> 00:31:14,076
Well, I'm guessing
it's not Kessler.
851
00:31:14,110 --> 00:31:16,345
No, it was Giles McNamara.
852
00:31:16,379 --> 00:31:18,547
Stephanie's father raped
Maya Zinkow?
853
00:31:18,581 --> 00:31:21,316
Wait-- why would Stephanie
want to kill Maya?
854
00:31:21,351 --> 00:31:22,884
It's sick, but the victimology
855
00:31:22,919 --> 00:31:24,620
makes perfect sense.
Stephanie had
856
00:31:24,654 --> 00:31:26,321
an abusive relationship
with her father, right? - Right.
857
00:31:26,356 --> 00:31:29,391
She would do anything
to gain his attention.
858
00:31:29,425 --> 00:31:32,894
So... she was jealous
that he raped someone?
859
00:31:32,929 --> 00:31:35,564
Right. To her, someone else was
getting her father's attention.
860
00:31:35,598 --> 00:31:37,532
It could've easily triggered
a psychotic break,
861
00:31:37,567 --> 00:31:40,135
leading to the first murder.
Right, and McNamara
862
00:31:40,169 --> 00:31:42,571
paid off the M.E. and the judge
to make all this go away.
863
00:31:42,605 --> 00:31:44,373
Yeah, except he didn't care
about protecting Stephanie,
864
00:31:44,407 --> 00:31:45,641
only himself.
865
00:31:45,675 --> 00:31:47,309
No wonder
Kessler wants revenge.
866
00:31:47,343 --> 00:31:49,745
Congressman, uh,
Palter is next in line.
867
00:31:49,779 --> 00:31:52,681
Tell Stark, will you?
Okay.
868
00:31:52,715 --> 00:31:54,600
Geez!
There's no answer at Palter's.
869
00:31:54,601 --> 00:31:56,435
I hope he's out playing poker
or something.
870
00:31:56,469 --> 00:31:58,469
How did the Deputy Director
react when you told him
871
00:31:58,471 --> 00:32:00,239
that there might be someone
at the FBI
872
00:32:00,273 --> 00:32:02,140
who protected McNamara?
Well, he wasn't surprised,
873
00:32:02,175 --> 00:32:03,675
which was surprising.
874
00:32:03,710 --> 00:32:05,377
But he gave me a blank check.
Told me to find out
875
00:32:05,411 --> 00:32:06,845
who was behind it.
Whoever it is
876
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,447
let nine people die.
877
00:32:19,826 --> 00:32:22,794
Looks like a struggle.
878
00:32:28,201 --> 00:32:29,701
Locked.
879
00:32:29,736 --> 00:32:31,236
Booth?
Yeah.
880
00:32:33,406 --> 00:32:35,541
All right, stand back, will you?
881
00:32:54,203 --> 00:32:56,271
So any particulates
from the weapon
882
00:32:56,305 --> 00:32:58,740
will be on the shirt
as well as on the wounds.
883
00:32:58,774 --> 00:33:01,042
The left external
carotid was severed.
884
00:33:01,076 --> 00:33:03,444
Yeah, after he was stabbed
in the chest and spine.
885
00:33:03,479 --> 00:33:05,413
Well, Kessler clearly wanted him
to suffer.
886
00:33:05,447 --> 00:33:06,981
There are
clean incisions
887
00:33:07,016 --> 00:33:09,918
in the third costal cartilage
as well as the clavicle.
888
00:33:09,952 --> 00:33:11,252
And C3.
889
00:33:11,287 --> 00:33:12,654
One long slash
from the neck,
890
00:33:12,688 --> 00:33:14,856
across the chest
to the abdomen.
891
00:33:14,890 --> 00:33:17,692
I see a total
of 16 wounds.
892
00:33:17,726 --> 00:33:20,662
It's the same number we saw
on Maya Zinkow and Stephanie.
893
00:33:20,696 --> 00:33:23,631
More vengeance
from Kessler.
894
00:33:25,134 --> 00:33:27,502
This wound track is
deeper and more definitive
895
00:33:27,536 --> 00:33:29,637
than anything we ever
saw on Stephanie.
896
00:33:29,672 --> 00:33:31,272
Dr. Hodgins,
can you swab the wound?
897
00:33:31,307 --> 00:33:33,041
Then Clark can make a mold.
898
00:33:33,075 --> 00:33:36,177
I'm not done examining the...
We don't have the time.
899
00:33:36,212 --> 00:33:38,847
Finally getting a weapon I.D.
could lead us to Kessler.
900
00:33:38,881 --> 00:33:40,849
Okay, I'll cut away
the tissue.
901
00:33:54,697 --> 00:33:56,731
You were supposed
to handle this, Booth.
902
00:33:56,765 --> 00:33:58,800
Now I got a dead congressman
on my hands.
903
00:33:58,834 --> 00:34:00,768
Look, I'm willing to take
full responsibility, sir,
904
00:34:00,803 --> 00:34:02,207
but I'm more concerned
about who's next.
905
00:34:02,232 --> 00:34:03,004
Next?
906
00:34:03,005 --> 00:34:04,439
You got to be kidding me.
If Kessler
907
00:34:04,473 --> 00:34:07,575
sees this as a conspiracy...
Which it is.
908
00:34:07,610 --> 00:34:09,811
You don't know that, Ms. Julian.
McNamara gets away
909
00:34:09,845 --> 00:34:11,980
with paying off a judge
and a medical examiner
910
00:34:12,014 --> 00:34:13,448
to protect his daughter,
911
00:34:13,482 --> 00:34:15,283
frames Kessler
for murder,
912
00:34:15,317 --> 00:34:16,818
he escapes prosecution
by the SEC,
913
00:34:16,852 --> 00:34:18,653
somehow he gets the FBI
914
00:34:18,687 --> 00:34:20,822
to lose vital pieces
of evidence.
915
00:34:20,856 --> 00:34:23,725
Do I have to go on, sir?
Because I think I'm on a roll.
916
00:34:23,759 --> 00:34:26,094
You really think this Kessler
guy is gonna kill again?
917
00:34:26,128 --> 00:34:27,132
We have to assume that, sir.
918
00:34:27,157 --> 00:34:29,530
I've been through almost
1,000 pages Kessler compiled
919
00:34:29,531 --> 00:34:31,599
on the murder case,
as well as McNamara's
920
00:34:31,634 --> 00:34:33,501
business dealings, all right?
Kessler suffers
921
00:34:33,535 --> 00:34:35,615
from post-traumatic embitterment
disorder, dysthymia,
922
00:34:35,638 --> 00:34:37,805
as well as a comorbidity...
Okay, okay,
923
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,074
the guy's a sick bastard--
I get it.
924
00:34:40,109 --> 00:34:42,243
Who's next on his list?
925
00:34:42,278 --> 00:34:44,145
No idea, sir.
We're trying to find him.
926
00:34:45,581 --> 00:34:47,849
And?
Well...
927
00:34:47,883 --> 00:34:50,818
he's too smart to run, so he's
got to be hiding someplace.
928
00:34:50,853 --> 00:34:52,854
I'm guessing you have no idea
where that is.
929
00:34:52,888 --> 00:34:54,822
No. Which is why we should
get back to work.
930
00:34:54,857 --> 00:34:57,558
Then go. Get the hell out
of here before Congress hangs me
931
00:34:57,593 --> 00:34:59,727
from the Capitol Building.
932
00:35:04,333 --> 00:35:06,935
You wanted to see me, Dr. Hodgins?
Yeah, more tobacco, Dr. B.
933
00:35:06,969 --> 00:35:08,736
It was in the wound
934
00:35:08,771 --> 00:35:10,418
and on his shirt
where it was cut by the weapon.
935
00:35:10,419 --> 00:35:12,620
Was he a smoker like Stephanie?
No, as a matter of fact,
936
00:35:13,042 --> 00:35:14,802
his last piece of legislation
was an increase
937
00:35:14,810 --> 00:35:16,444
in the tobacco tax.
938
00:35:16,478 --> 00:35:18,846
So the tobacco was transferred
from the murder weapon.
939
00:35:18,881 --> 00:35:20,515
No other explanation.
940
00:35:20,549 --> 00:35:24,218
I'm also seeing methoxychlor.
It's a pesticide.
941
00:35:24,253 --> 00:35:26,788
Something the gardener used?
No, methoxychlor was banned.
942
00:35:26,822 --> 00:35:28,690
It hasn't been used in decades,
so... Hey, any luck
943
00:35:28,724 --> 00:35:30,858
with the murder weapon?
The mold gave us kerf marks
944
00:35:30,893 --> 00:35:33,061
on the blade-- they're
bent and irregular.
945
00:35:33,095 --> 00:35:35,129
The weapon seems
to be quite old.
946
00:35:35,164 --> 00:35:36,764
Well, that would explain
the pesticide.
947
00:35:36,799 --> 00:35:38,433
All right, I got to get back
to work-- I'm also seeing
948
00:35:38,467 --> 00:35:40,868
some fibers embedded
in the wound that might help us.
949
00:35:40,903 --> 00:35:43,571
I'm doing MRI scans
on both sets of remains.
950
00:35:43,605 --> 00:35:45,406
We don't have time to clean
the congressman's bones,
951
00:35:45,441 --> 00:35:48,209
but this should give us
a clear view of the damage done
952
00:35:48,243 --> 00:35:50,545
to both victims.
953
00:35:52,014 --> 00:35:53,748
Kessler had more
information than the FBI.
954
00:35:53,782 --> 00:35:55,383
All right, look,
McNamara might be dead
955
00:35:55,417 --> 00:35:57,218
but whoever protected him
could still be alive.
956
00:35:57,252 --> 00:35:59,153
Unless that's who Kessler's
going after next.
957
00:35:59,188 --> 00:36:01,322
I want to know who McNamara bought.
From all the information
958
00:36:01,357 --> 00:36:03,358
Kessler got, he knows.
Look, Stephanie
959
00:36:03,392 --> 00:36:05,093
and Palter were killed within
ten miles of each other,
960
00:36:05,127 --> 00:36:06,761
so he should be close.
I agree.
961
00:36:06,795 --> 00:36:09,464
He's revisiting the scene
of the crime, reliving it.
962
00:36:09,498 --> 00:36:12,166
Rewriting it, actually, so it comes out
the way he feels it should.
963
00:36:12,201 --> 00:36:13,701
So you're saying
that he's home.
964
00:36:13,736 --> 00:36:16,771
Psychologically, yeah.
965
00:36:16,805 --> 00:36:18,740
These "V" nicks on Stephanie's
third and fourth ribs,
966
00:36:18,774 --> 00:36:20,208
if we measure
the intercostal space,
967
00:36:20,242 --> 00:36:21,843
the distance between the ribs...
968
00:36:21,877 --> 00:36:24,278
It'll give us the width
of the blade.
969
00:36:26,415 --> 00:36:28,950
4.19 centimeters.
970
00:36:28,984 --> 00:36:31,419
Now the striation on
the right anterolateral surface
971
00:36:31,453 --> 00:36:33,287
of the body,
on the sixth thoracic vertebra.
972
00:36:33,322 --> 00:36:36,657
So the length of the blade
would have been
973
00:36:36,692 --> 00:36:38,292
20 centimeters.
974
00:36:38,327 --> 00:36:40,762
Please rotate
Stephanie's torso.
975
00:36:40,796 --> 00:36:43,131
The scrape
on the posterior aspect
976
00:36:43,165 --> 00:36:46,334
of the fourth sternal rib seems
to have been caused by trying
977
00:36:46,368 --> 00:36:48,269
to extract something
with a hooked end.
978
00:36:48,303 --> 00:36:50,505
As if caught and then
someone turned it.
979
00:36:50,539 --> 00:36:51,773
I see where you're going.
980
00:36:51,807 --> 00:36:53,107
The width of that scrape
981
00:36:53,142 --> 00:36:55,109
could give us
the size of the hook.
982
00:36:56,845 --> 00:36:58,285
Can you see
if the same kind
983
00:36:58,313 --> 00:36:59,981
of hooked blade was used
on the congressman?
984
00:37:00,015 --> 00:37:02,350
Yeah, give me a second.
985
00:37:05,721 --> 00:37:07,055
They're an exact match.
986
00:37:07,089 --> 00:37:09,323
He used the same blade
on both of them.
987
00:37:09,358 --> 00:37:11,959
Asbestos.
The fibers were asbestos.
988
00:37:11,994 --> 00:37:12,994
Tell us why you're happy.
989
00:37:12,995 --> 00:37:14,495
Oh, I understand.
990
00:37:14,530 --> 00:37:16,064
I am also happy.
991
00:37:16,098 --> 00:37:18,166
Okay. now this is not fair.
Tobacco, asbestos
992
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,801
and a banned pesticide.
993
00:37:19,835 --> 00:37:21,803
Well, asbestos was also
banned in the '50s.
994
00:37:21,837 --> 00:37:23,304
It was used in the manufacture
of cigarette filters,
995
00:37:23,338 --> 00:37:26,541
as if cigarettes
didn't kill you fast enough.
996
00:37:26,575 --> 00:37:29,243
So the weapon came
from an old tobacco factory?
997
00:37:29,278 --> 00:37:30,912
It makes sense.
Look at this.
998
00:37:30,946 --> 00:37:34,882
The weapon was
a tobacco scythe.
999
00:37:38,887 --> 00:37:39,987
Old Dominion Cigarettes.
1000
00:37:40,022 --> 00:37:41,322
They went out of
business in '68.
1001
00:37:41,356 --> 00:37:43,391
The factory is abandoned.
1002
00:37:43,425 --> 00:37:46,160
And it is eight miles
from the McNamaras' estate
1003
00:37:46,195 --> 00:37:48,596
and 15 miles
from Palter's house.
1004
00:37:48,630 --> 00:37:50,191
You know what?
That's a perfect location
1005
00:37:50,199 --> 00:37:52,166
for Kessler to retreat to
after an attack.
1006
00:37:52,201 --> 00:37:53,868
You guys did
a great job, Bones.
1007
00:37:53,902 --> 00:37:56,070
I'll only accept that compliment
if no one else dies.
1008
00:37:56,105 --> 00:37:57,505
Have you called
for additional support?
1009
00:37:57,539 --> 00:37:59,674
No, no, no.
Look, I know guys
1010
00:37:59,708 --> 00:38:01,442
like Kessler, all right?
The quieter we are,
1011
00:38:01,477 --> 00:38:04,345
the better chance
we have in getting him.
1012
00:38:13,856 --> 00:38:14,956
His light is on.
1013
00:38:48,690 --> 00:38:50,658
Don't do it, Kessler.
1014
00:38:50,692 --> 00:38:53,427
I did what I needed to do.
1015
00:38:53,462 --> 00:38:57,098
I set the record straight.
That's what I wanted.
1016
00:38:57,132 --> 00:38:59,200
If he jumps from that height,
his neck will snap.
1017
00:38:59,234 --> 00:39:01,202
We wouldn't have
time to cut him down.
1018
00:39:01,236 --> 00:39:04,805
You have information
that we need-- you can help.
1019
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,174
I have nothing.
1020
00:39:06,208 --> 00:39:07,975
I've had nothing
since they put me away.
1021
00:39:08,010 --> 00:39:10,811
You had missing
files on McNamara.
1022
00:39:10,846 --> 00:39:12,480
On the cover-up.
And you think
1023
00:39:12,514 --> 00:39:13,748
you can get justice?
1024
00:39:13,782 --> 00:39:16,017
The law isn't for people
like them.
1025
00:39:16,051 --> 00:39:17,351
You've got to try.
1026
00:39:17,386 --> 00:39:19,253
We can help.
1027
00:39:22,224 --> 00:39:23,457
I'm sorry.
1028
00:39:23,492 --> 00:39:25,326
I'm tired.
1029
00:39:30,132 --> 00:39:31,632
Why did you do that?
1030
00:39:31,667 --> 00:39:33,935
They'll never let me live,
anyway.
1031
00:39:33,969 --> 00:39:35,169
You'll live.
1032
00:39:35,204 --> 00:39:37,171
I promise that.
1033
00:40:12,374 --> 00:40:14,742
Hey.
1034
00:40:14,776 --> 00:40:16,510
Booth.
1035
00:40:16,545 --> 00:40:18,379
Look at that.
1036
00:40:18,413 --> 00:40:19,722
Oh, beer?
1037
00:40:19,747 --> 00:40:21,382
Well, it's all they had
at the convenience store.
1038
00:40:21,383 --> 00:40:24,986
And we have to celebrate 'cause
we caught the Ghost Killer.
1039
00:40:25,020 --> 00:40:28,823
Are you hungry? Because
I am pretty sure that...
1040
00:40:28,857 --> 00:40:31,058
beer from Missouri
goes very well
1041
00:40:31,093 --> 00:40:34,028
with leftovers.
Eh, just drink the beer
1042
00:40:34,062 --> 00:40:36,430
from... Missouri, huh?
1043
00:40:36,465 --> 00:40:38,165
Alexander's Famous.
1044
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,003
So, um, Stark
and Caroline,
1045
00:40:42,037 --> 00:40:43,838
they're trying
to figure out a deal
1046
00:40:43,872 --> 00:40:45,740
so Kessler
will cooperate.
1047
00:40:45,774 --> 00:40:48,909
He's a killer.
Yeah, but who he killed.
1048
00:40:48,944 --> 00:40:51,412
In the Old West, they would've
made him a sheriff.
1049
00:40:51,446 --> 00:40:53,414
So, um, Stark
1050
00:40:53,448 --> 00:40:55,416
has finally recommended me
for that promotion.
1051
00:40:55,450 --> 00:40:58,219
Course, I have to be confirmed
by the House subcommittee.
1052
00:40:58,253 --> 00:41:00,354
Congratulations, Booth.
1053
00:41:00,389 --> 00:41:02,390
This calls for a toast.
Mmm.
1054
00:41:02,424 --> 00:41:03,958
To you.
No, no, wait.
1055
00:41:03,992 --> 00:41:05,393
To us, okay? 'Cause I told him
1056
00:41:05,427 --> 00:41:06,594
no matter what happens to us,
1057
00:41:06,628 --> 00:41:08,162
we're still a team.
1058
00:41:08,196 --> 00:41:10,865
Well, that's
basically the definition
1059
00:41:10,899 --> 00:41:12,533
of marriage, isn't it?
1060
00:41:12,567 --> 00:41:14,568
Does that mean I...
don't have to finish
1061
00:41:14,603 --> 00:41:16,270
filling out this
questionnaire?
1062
00:41:16,305 --> 00:41:18,239
No, you know what, uh,
you should still do it.
1063
00:41:18,273 --> 00:41:19,974
The government,
they love their paperwork.
1064
00:41:20,008 --> 00:41:24,011
Okay. There was one question
asking if we had a relationship
1065
00:41:24,046 --> 00:41:25,083
outside of work, so...
1066
00:41:25,108 --> 00:41:27,230
You should probably
just skip that one.
1067
00:41:27,949 --> 00:41:30,685
Oh. Um, I wrote all this.
1068
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,253
You wrote all this.
1069
00:41:32,287 --> 00:41:34,555
Whoa! About our sex life?
1070
00:41:34,589 --> 00:41:37,491
Well, are you suggesting
that it isn't interesting?
1071
00:41:37,526 --> 00:41:40,127
No, no, but...
They told me to be thorough.
1072
00:41:40,162 --> 00:41:44,265
I also put that you never throw
your socks into the hamper.
1073
00:41:44,299 --> 00:41:46,600
In case the floor is cold,
I put the socks on
1074
00:41:46,635 --> 00:41:49,236
so my feet stay warm-- but they
don't really care about that.
1075
00:41:49,271 --> 00:41:51,205
What if I'm called before
Congress to testify,
1076
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:52,773
and they ask
why I ignored
1077
00:41:52,808 --> 00:41:55,176
the question?
Just ignore it for now, okay?
1078
00:41:55,210 --> 00:41:57,211
Here's to catching
the Ghost Killer.
1079
00:41:58,647 --> 00:42:00,683
To Missouri.
Beer from Missouri.
1080
00:42:00,684 --> 00:42:03,754
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
@elder_man
1081
00:42:03,755 --> 00:42:05,322
What's that mean?
