We're lost. We're totally lost.
We're fine, Tracey.
I told you hiking was crazy.
We should have just bought plaid shirts
and gone to a resort.
We'll hit the trail as long as we keep heading west,
and we're heading west!
You don't know that, Michael. Tracey,
that's the sun, so that's South and that's West!
That's what you say. It's not my opinion.
It has to do with the position of the sun! Oh, please,
this whole direction thing is totally arbitrary!
We're lost!
And we're gonna die out here, and they're
gonna find our bones one day, and I hate you! You know what?
Just follow me, or they will find your bones,
because I'll kill you.
Now, come on!
Great.
Oh, God, it's starting to rain?!
Look, there's a cave over there.
A cave? Look,
if you don't like it, then stay out here.
Well, don't leave me all alone!
Oh, we are so totally gonna die.
You bastard.
We are not gonna die!
Says you.
Oh, my God.
We're totally gonna die!
So, have you talked to Hannah since you got back?
Oh, yeah. Couple times.
She said she's waiting for her new assignment,
probably Southern Iraq. I find it anomalous
that you would leave her since you believe
so emphatically in the mythic powers of love.
Do you understand what she's saying? Just nod.
Well, I'm just saying that you wanted to fall in love
and you did in Afghanistan.
You were in Afghanistan? Yeah, I just got back.
Ah. I was stationed as a Staff Sergeant in Kandahar.
Served with my brother in '04. I'm a...
well, I was a Ranger.
Oh, you guys were awesome.
Yeah. My brother didn't make it back.
Oh. Sorry.
It was worse
for his wife and kid.
I take care of her now.
Sorry, I didn't mean to bring us down.
You were saying something about a woman you left behind?
Oh, I didn't leave her behind; it was her decision to stay.
Well, maybe you didn't really love her.
No, I... I do love her. I do.
So, is this the cave entrance?
This is it.
This one is a male,
late 20s, early 30s.
This is a female, same approximate age.
PARK RANGER: Kind of sad the way they're holding each other, right?
Yeah, what happened there, Bones?
Well, multiple fractures,
more severe on the female.
It appears they've been bludgeoned.
Oh. It's, like, he... he couldn't let her go.
It would appear that way.
I wouldn't make any comparisons
with your current situation.
Oh, uh, thanks... for that. Thank you.
Maggots and other insect activity
seem to have cleaned the bodies of tissue.
Some of the bone of the skull as well.
Yeah, that'll happen pretty fast out here.
Well, it makes determining time of death more difficult.
I'll need the remains transported
back to the Jeffersonian, along with the rocks
and the surrounding soil. Great. Maybe you can lead
the forensics team, Sarge, all right, so nobody gets lost.
Yeah. All right, let's go.
Careful of your head. Yeah. All right.
Great. So, the forensics team says
the remains should be at the lab in a couple of hours.
It seems like we were never away from each other,
doesn't it? Yeah.
You okay with that? Of course.
Why? Why?
Because seven months ago, you said you...
didn't want to be surrounded by, you know, crime and death
and sadness. Well, I needed some time
to rationally assess the best use of my considerable skills.
Factoring in that we have such a strong
and mutually beneficial relationship,
I concluded that...
I could be most useful solving crimes.
Right. So you're happy to be working together?
That's what I just said. Great.
Me, too.
So...
do you miss her?
Yeah, of course I do.
Well, if there's anything that I can do...
You know, I didn't leave Hannah.
You know, I had to come back here because of Parker.
I know. I couldn't ask her to leave
any more than she could get me to stay.
I-I'm sorry I brought it up.
Oh, my God.
Hannah. Hey.
What are you doing here?
We can talk in a minute.
Mm.
I put in a request to be assigned to the Washington Press Corps.
Something you said you'd never do. Well, that was
before I realized how much I hated waking up alone.
Hello.
I'm...
Temperance Brennan.
Ah. I've heard a lot about you.
Hannah Burley.
I assumed.
Yes.
♪ Bones 6x02 ♪ The Couple in the Cave Original Air Date on September 30, 2010
♪ Main Title Theme ♪ The Crystal Method -- sync, corrected by elderman -- -- for www.addic7ed.Com --
I was passed over for a promotion in Chicago,
and when I heard Dr. Brennan was back,
I just jumped at the chance to work here again.
That shows excellent judgment.
Most of the fractures
on the female are localized to the left posterior side.
Yeah, there are
multiple breaks in the femur,
pelvis, vertebrae...
So, what was it like to meet Hannah?
Oh, she seems... very pleasant
and...
attractive. Her face fits
comfortably within the golden ratio.
So you guys did math together?
No, the golden ratio is a formula that determines beauty.
One to 1.618.
For instance, the width of the mouth
to the width of the cheek... So she's hot.
I see some, uh,
particulates here, Dr. Hodgins.
You know, if we still care about finding out
what happened to these poor people.
I just assumed that when you guys got back from your trip, you'd be a real couple.
We were never a couple.
Dr. Saroyan, you assured me that you
would try to keep this workplace professional. And I will,
Dr. Edison. No, no, no.
You were a couple.
You just weren't having sex.
Were you jealous?
Of course not. I'm happy for Booth.
Why would I be jealous?
Because it's obvious you and Agent Booth
were attracted to each other.
I mean, a blind man could see that.
I just couldn't understand why you two
just didn't rip each other's clothes off.
I mean, just get all butt-naked and...
Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God. Uh...
I'm-I'm sorry.
Uh, I...
It just popped out, okay?
You guys weren't focusing. Dude.
A little self-control?
I hitched a ride on a C-130 coming back from Baghdad. Oh. Oh.
We got fired on twice.
I was sitting next to some guy from A.P.
who wet his brand-new fatigues.
I just, I can't believe you're here.
It's so strange.
Truthfully, baby, neither can I. So,
are you sure that the Press Corps
is gonna be exciting enough for you?
I'll make sure it is.
God, I missed you.
Mm.
I wish I could take some time off,
but we're just in the middle
of a double homicide. Forget it.
We have all the time in the world now.
They put me up at the Dupont Hotel.
Call me when you're free.
Dupont. Place is a dump.
All right, listen,
stop by later, okay?
Here's my key to my place.
What you got to do is, you got to just
get it in there and you got to move it left
to right, and when you hear the lock pop,
Yeah? just give it a kick.
That sounds filthy.
I should go.
See you later.
Sorry, is this a bad time?
No, come on in. Come on in. Come in.
How can I help you?
Thought your girl was still in Afghanistan.
Ah, she surprised me.
That explains the grin. Mm.
Um, I'll make this quick.
Um, a guy I work with told me about
another murder out there almost ten years ago.
Some squatter who lived out in the woods,
he went after someone that he thought was trespassing.
On federal land? Yeah, well, the squatter
didn't recognize the federal government.
Anyway, he beat this guy so bad, he died.
I just wanted to give you a copy of the original file.
Why didn't you just call me? Yeah, I could've.
When I heard we were both combat vets, I guess I wanted in
on a little bit more action than I get out in the park.
You know, look, we both have our jurisdictions.
I can't authorize you to...
No, I just thought that...
No, I-I understand, you're right. Sorry.
Tell you what,
when I'm in the park, you're my guy.
Thanks.
Thanks for this.
It's just that, uh...
I always felt there was
something more I could've done for my brother, and...
maybe he'd still be here.
Guess I'm still just trying to do
that little something extra is all.
We always feel that way when we lose someone.
Yeah.
Hey, tell you what, while you're here,
why don't you go and pick up an application.
The Bureau's always looking for a few good men,
and, I mean, with your service record...
Tell Jenny in Personnel that I sent you.
I will. Thanks.
Okay, that's gross.
Vacuuming their noses-- or what used to be their noses--
it's fun. Want to help?
You are not playing with our children without supervision.
I'm retrieving pollen that would've been present
when they took their last breath.
And I can match that
with the daily pollen count chart
that the Forest Service keeps.
Oh. Which gives us an accurate time of death.
Suddenly what I'm doing is pretty cool, isn't it?
Eh, kind of.
A little.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
How are you feeling?
The baby making you sick today?
Well, the only place I'm not nauseous is here.
Which is weird, because...
this place always used to make me sick before.
Well, when you feel better...
we can take off for our baby-moon.
Baby-moon?
Yeah, you know-- last trip
before we lose all freedom and become our parents.
Which, in your case, is okay,
because, you know, your dad's pretty cool.
Well, we should go back to Paris.
Ah, but of course. Where else?
And you get to eat whatever you'd like,
because you're gonna look like the Hindenburg anyway.
Nice, nice.
More to love, you know?
More to love.
Mm. Did you I.D. the victim yet?
Well, sort of.
The woman... is Hillary Fuller.
I got a match through the DMV,
which led to a missing persons report
filed by her boss.
But the guy's skull was a little bit harder.
George Clooney.
Victim's skull was funky,
so this was the best that I could do.
Oh, victim, who art thou?
Oh, Agent Booth.
No. No what?
No, I'm not gonna talk about Hannah.
Oh, I just want you to know that I understand
this could be a loaded situation,
and if you need any help... Maybe you should
take care of your own house first.
I imagine you're referring to me and Daisy.
Yeah, that whole on-again, off-again thing,
that's not good. I know, I know.
I'm trying to deal with it, but I find that
if I consider making a clean break, you know,
although it opens up my world sexually,
Oh-ho! I might lose...
You're seriously talking about that now?
No. No, of course not.
That's good. Good, pal.
But to wrap up, Daisy and I Yeah.
have no obligations to each other, no commitments.
You know, we're just riding that wave.
Ride the wave. You hang ten.
I'm gonna go try and solve a murder, okay?
Don't forget the SPF.
So, you reported Hillary Fuller missing.
Yes.
She was my marketing manager.
Um, she'd only worked for me for a few months,
but, uh, it wasn't like her to just disappear.
So I called her place, her cell.
Then I got worried. Right.
Do you take an interest in all your employees?
What do you mean?
Oh, well,
you're single; Hillary is very attractive. Hey,
I came down here to help; now I'm a suspect?
Why are you so defensive? I'm just asking a question.
Look...
Hillary, she seemed great.
We went out to lunch a couple times.
She p-put on the brakes.
And you were okay with that?
Yes. Yes, she didn't want to get involved.
That's cool; I'm a big boy.
You recognize this man?
Sure, it's George Clooney.
She was killed by George Clooney?
It's not Clooney; it's the other victim.
You know what I think? I think Hillary and this man
were killed by somebody who was very jealous.
I reported her missing, remember?
I do. I remember, yeah.
I'm here at the U.S. base in Afghanistan's Khost Province...
She is hot.
Yes, she's in Afghanistan.
The temperature is frequently over a hundred degrees.
No. Attractive hot.
Sexy hot. Of course.
So Booth seems happy with her, right?
Yes. He always wanted to find someone to share his life.
I don't think he expected it to happen like this.
Just like you.
Like me?
Well, you've also found a mate,
although you never expected to be in a long-term,
monogamous relationship.
Yeah, well, love sort of decided that for me.
Like Cam,
she never expected to be a parent.
So I'm the only one living the life I expected.
Well, how is that, honey?
It's, um...
it's as I expected.
I have time of... Whoa.
Wow.
Is that her?
Don't drool, Hodgins.
Huh?
No, no, no. Only when I...
look at you, Angie.
May I?
I, uh, found time of death.
I cross-referenced
the pollen from the nasal cavity
with the pollen charts at the Forest Service.
They died two weeks ago on the 13th.
I'll tell Booth.
...person might have gained entry onto the base.
This is the third time this year
a suicide bomber has struck... She's not that great, really.
You know. Homely.
Homely, actually, I mean, compared to you.
Keep going. Don't stop.
Goddess on high.
Mother of my unborn child.
Love of my life.
So, you're sure they died on the 13th?
Hodgins was certain. Why?
A Park Ranger mentioned a killing, you know,
a while ago, so I checked it out.
Here, let me use this computer here.
Winston Hinkle.
He had a history of mental illness.
Got into a big fight with a camper
and ended up beating him to death.
Got eight years for manslaughter.
What does this have to do with the 13th?
Well, he was released two weeks ago, on the 11th.
Parole officer says he lives right outside the park.
Uh-huh.
So Hinkle was diagnosed
with bipolar and cyclothymic disorder
with episodes of paranoia.
Okay, so why would they let him out?
Well, the attending psychiatrist feels
that his illness is under control.
He's taking his meds, hasn't had a serious episode
in over three years.
Booth.
Oh, hey.
Uh...
No, I'm just, uh, working.
No. Not Bones.
Sweets.
Sure.
All right, I'll see you then.
Okay.
What are you staring at? Don't do that.
I just think it's... it's interesting
that you'd be so self-conscious...
on the phone. Really? Interesting?
Because I'm having a private conversation
in front of someone who's really nosy?
Well... you could be self-conscious
'cause I know your history with Dr. Brennan.
I mean, you know, it's natural to have mixed feelings...
Do you want to know what I'm feeling?
Yeah. Do you really want to know what I'm feeling?
Please. Okay, when I left Afghanistan,
I was miserable, thinking that I would never see Hannah again.
And... and why do you think that is, huh,
Dr. Phil?
Why don't you tell me? Because
I'm crazy about her.
Because my life is just way better when we're together.
Right? Which is why I'm happy.
All right? The past is the past, okay?
I'm happy, Sweets.
I believe you.
Yeah. You're a lucky man.
I know.
Now, let's get on your little shrinky mojo
so that you can pick up any leftover crazy
that the other doctors might have missed.
My shrinky mojo-- that's how it works? Yeah.
Mm-hmm, yeah, that's how it works.
Stop staring at me like that.
Oh.
Okay.
You did bring your gun, right?
Yeah.
This is private property; you're trespassing. FBI.
Mr. Hinkle, I just have to ask you a few questions.
I did my time-- I check in with my parole officer every week.
I could either tell your parole officer
that you were belligerent or cooperative.
Which do you think he'd be happier with?
If you got a question, you just ask it.
Yeah, a couple was found dead
here in the park, two days after you were released.
Yeah, I guess I should have expected this.
Expected to be caught?
He means he expected to be perceived as the man he was.
That's what your doctor told you?
I'm on my meds; I turned my life around.
I know what I did was wrong.
Of course, why should anybody else believe that?
You have court-ordered therapy sessions twice a week.
Any trouble making it out to the sessions from here?
No. Okay, can you
account for your whereabouts on the 13th?
No.
Do you recognize
these people?
Him, yeah.
They showed us his movies in prison.
It's not George Clooney, okay?
These are the victims.
Beaten, like the guy you killed.
I deserve this, I know.
But I didn't kill anybody, I swear.
I'm gonna keep an eye on you... Winston.
So? Well, he seems to be telling the truth,
but his meds could be masking a lot.
You know, honestly, your whole mojo is just disappointing.
But my mojo's good.
The injuries on the female
indicate that the left posterior ribs eight through 11
shattered, piercing the heart, lungs and kidneys.
Her scapula is also broken,
which could have pierced the lung.
His injuries were
more presented in the anterior and weren't as severe.
Internal bleeding would have taken much longer to kill him.
He could've gone for help.
The woman was bleeding out.
Perhaps he didn't want to leave her.
So he stayed and held her.
And she died in his arms. We need to discover
why the injuries were localized:
his in the front, hers in the back.
No one would deliver a beating so... carefully.
Seeley tells me
you're the best partner he's ever had.
Well, I'm sure that's true.
I'm not only gifted intellectually
and internationally known, but I'm also
highly skilled in various methods of self-defense.
I like a person who isn't hampered by modesty.
I have two Peabodys,
a National Press Award,
and I've been wounded three times getting stories.
I kick Christiane Amanpour's ass.
We are both
quite impressive.
Booth never told me how you met.
It was outside Marja.
The Taliban controlled the area,
and I was going in to interview one of the leaders.
She was told not to go in, but,
of course, it didn't matter, she goes in.
I was heading to a cafe, walking across this little town square,
and an insurgent opened fire.
Anyway, Seeley was there.
I didn't notice at the time-- he was hidden, of course.
I was scrambling for cover.
The sniper was still firing when I heard another shot ring out.
The sniper dropped-- wounded,
not killed, because he might have information.
Seeley never went for the kill if he could help it.
He saved your life.
You know what, we met on the field.
Let's just leave it at that, shall we?
Let's just say
I was very appreciative.
You're implying that you showed
your appreciation sexually.
Oh, yeah! Yeah.
Under a fig tree.
I never liked figs,
now I... I love 'em. I know.
Brennan.
Oh, Booth is here, too.
I'll put you on speakerphone.
Hey. So I found eggs from the Sternorrhyncha Aphidoidea.
They were on George Clooney.
It's like pulling teeth from this guy. Okay, Hodgins,
the eggs, they come from chickens, or...?
Yeah, I just told you-- aphids.
So I hatched the eggs,
and it turns out the aphids are wingless.
Who's that? This is fascinating.
Hannah. Hannah.
Oh. Hey, uh, hi.
Uh, it's nice to meet you.
I, um...
I'm, uh, Hodgins.
Um, Dr. Hodgins.
Uh, I am a big fan.
I just read the piece where you stuck it to CENTCOM in 2009.
Thanks.
Hey, maybe while you're here,
you can find out why every time there's
a big story, and I mean like
an earthquake or government corruption,
there's always some celebrity story that takes focus.
You know? The BP oil spill, Hodges.
Lindsay Lohan goes to jail,
and the country takes their eye off the ball.
Hodgins. Media is used
to distract us all the time.
You're taking him seriously? Michael Jackson's
funeral is on 24 hours a day,
and nobody finds out about the coup in Honduras.
Felt fishy to me. I love this woman.
We were talking about wingless aphids,
Dr. Hodgins. We were?
Right, yes, no, we w-were.
So, wingless aphids, they couldn't have existed
where we found the remains.
They live in windier environments
at a higher altitude.
So I checked
the wind patterns at various altitudes,
and I found some cabins in the park
that hikers use to rest.
They must have been there.
The male victim may have left
something which could I.D. him.
Thanks, Hodgins.
We should get back to the park. And I got
to get up to Capitol Hill.
I'm covering the Armed Services hearing.
I'll see you back at the apartment.
Yes.
PARK RANGER: If George Clooney had been up here,
I'm sure I'd remember. Ah, it's not Clooney.
Apparently, it's not a very accurate sketch.
Sorry, I don't recognize either one of 'em.
But, then, hundreds of people come to the park every day.
Well, it's worth a shot.
Cabins are inspected weekly.
If anything was found, I'm sure it would be in the lost and found.
There doesn't seem to be anything in the cabin.
I filled out my application like you said.
You know, if, uh, we work well together,
maybe you'll give me a recommendation,
brothers in arms, and all.
We'll see what happens.
Look at this, Booth.
Wow. Look at all these names, huh?
Talk about the love shack!
Couples have been known to use the shelter for the...
occasional romantic interlude.
Like a fig tree.
Beg your pardon? Nothing.
I like figs. Look at this.
This is fresh. "9-13."
The day they died.
"HF."
Hillary Fuller.
Yeah, but who's FV?
I was trying anything to get an idea
of the mystery man, so I analyzed
the strontium isotope composition of his teeth.
Now, it indicates that the victim
spent his first 20 or so years in Central America.
Probably Guatemala,
based on the oxygen ratios.
Well, the remaining tissue I collected from his hands
shows a high level of nicotine.
So he had
green tobacco sickness.
He was a migrant worker picking tobacco.
Which might be why we can't get a match for him.
So the initials "FV" would probably be Spanish in origin.
But Hillary Fuller was a college-educated woman
with a good job at a marketing firm.
Why would she be romantically involved
with a migrant worker?
See if the victims share any additional
genetic or environmental markers.
So, she was a marketing director and he was a migrant worker.
I can't believe they were a romantic couple.
Just because they had different backgrounds,
what, you're saying that they can't be in love?
Your belief in the power of love is admirable, Booth,
but an affair between these two is an anthropological anomaly.
Yeah, I mean, crossing class boundaries that extreme
would be rare and indicate
that our victims had something in common we haven't
discovered yet. So it's not possible
for two people to overcome their differences?
We couldn't.
What? She's right.
This is not about us.
Sometimes when I was away, I would imagine us together.
Really? While pleasant,
it was clearly a fantasy,
because we are also anomalous.
But you were lucky enough to meet someone
with whom you have parity.
Love.
With whom I have love.
Do you guys want to talk about this?
Nope.
No?
'Cause I figure since Hannah is now
a part of your life... Why don't you just focus
on what connected them, if they were so incompatible.
Okay? That's easy enough for you to do, right?
Brennan.
I found the connection.
Osteopenia.
Both victims exhibit low bone mass
and suppressed bone formation.
They were alcoholics.
Oh. That's the connection.
Now, although Hillary Fuller's bones were still weak,
her osteoblasts did show evidence
of a recent increase in bone growth,
sufficient to indicate that
she hadn't been drinking for at least two years.
I did a count on the male victim's osteoblasts, too,
and found that they were also returning to normal.
So he had also stopped drinking.
But according to the figures, only within the last year.
All right, thanks.
So both of them had stopped drinking.
She more than two years ago;
he less than a year.
I know the connection.
A.A.
Excuse me.
FBI. I see you're wearing your chip.
So you've probably been coming here for a while, huh?
This is a safe environment.
We don't rat out our friends here.
Just want to ask you a few questions about Hillary Fuller.
She used to live in this area, so this
was probably her meeting.
I ain't talking to no cop.
Don't be such an ass-hat, Hank.
I knew Hillary.
What happen,
she fall off the wagon? No,
but she is dead.
We believe murdered.
Oh, God.
You still haven't learned
how to ease into that one, right, Bones?
Do you recognize this man?
He killed her?
He seems so nice in the movies.
No, this is the other victim
who was found with Hillary.
His initials are F.V.
F.V.
Oh, Felix!
He does kind of look like George Clooney.
Oh... wait, I-I-I...
I can't believe this-- Felix is gone, too?
They were found in Taylor National Park in a cave.
Makes sense.
Why is that? If Hillary was sponsoring someone,
she would take them in the woods so they could
get in touch with themselves. It's a good way
to assess the, you know, the damages they've done
in their life and make amends. Yeah.
You in the program? I'm a gambler.
But I haven't laid a bet in years.
I do miss the coffee here, though.
Were Hillary and Felix
romantically involved?
It's not supposed to happen with your sponsor,
but they just kind of clicked.
And he was having some trouble at home-- guess his girlfriend
was getting jealous because Hillary
was helping Felix stay sober.
Right, and they were falling in love.
That, too.
I guess his girlfriend couldn't handle it.
But that's life, right?
Things change.
Do you know where we can find Felix's girlfriend?
Felix was no saint.
He might have been a teacher in Guatemala,
but here he was just a drunk-- you have his record there.
Right, drunk and disorderly,
buying alcohol for a minor, petty theft.
Not major crimes.
You defending him now? That kid he bought booze for
got into an accident or something.
I'm just trying to find out who killed Felix,
and right now you're looking like a good suspect.
Aw, screw you, man. Screw me?
Yeah, screw you.
I was always there for him.
I bailed the bastard out of jail.
I cleaned him up
after he was so drunk he slept in the street,
and then he cheats on me? Well, you don't seem
too upset to find out that he's dead.
You live with a drunk, you expect them to die--
I guess I was ready.
All right, so... you weren't needed anymore
once he got sober.
Right?
I wasted my time with him-- he wasn't a real man.
A real man can take a drink,
he can still party-- he was not a man.
He was to another woman.
That must have made you angry.
Why didn't you report him missing?
Because I just thought he'd run off with that bitch.
So you followed him to the woods just to make sure that was true.
You found him in the woods?
I got allergies-- I don't go to the woods.
Oh, people do crazy things when they're angry.
Can you account for where you were on the 13th, Lupe?
I don't have to talk to you.
I don't have to say anything.
I know.
Well, this is the best lunch I've had in a long time.
Yeah.
You want dessert?
I got to get back to work. No.
Well, there's always dinner, right?
You and Brennan...
You two seem solid.
Well... happens after, you know,
working together for what, five years.
You know,
I-I'm a little jealous, actually.
What, you actually think that there's something going on
between... me and Bones?
No, not that.
Unless there's something I should know. No,
of course not.
I guess I'm just jealous of what you two do together.
The action in the field.
Oh.
So the Armed Services Committee is not doing it for you.
No. I think I'm the only one in the Press Corps
who refuses to write her stories from press releases.
You're gonna make trouble while you're here, aren't you?
As much as possible.
Isn't that why you love me?
That's definitely one of the reasons.
I got to get back... to work, Hannah.
I know, I know.
But I'm trouble, remember?
All right! I was told these are for you.
Yes, these are the tires from Lupe Rojas's car.
She denies going to the park, but Booth doesn't believe her.
And if she's lying,
the tread should contain insect and plant matter
that could place here there. Yeah, exactly.
You know,
you could be my lovely assistant.
Yes, but since I'm your boss, you're my lovely assistant.
Ah.
Yeah, right.
Well, at least I'm lovely.
I've reexamined the injuries,
but I haven't found anything new.
And why do you think that is?
Because there's nothing new.
Because you've been looking at them
as if both victims were attacked and beaten.
Of course. Wasn't that your supposition?
Yes. But was it yours?
Because an assistant who doesn't think for himself
has no value to me.
Okay, but I thought that... No, you didn't--
that's the point.
You repeated an inconclusive assumption
I made without all the evidence.
Evidence, by the way, you were supposed to supply
while I was busy with other duties.
Okay, I'm gonna assume that I missed something here.
I can guarantee that you missed something.
Perhaps this is a reason that
you didn't get your promotion in Chicago.
Dr. Brennan... If you hope to redeem yourself in my eyes,
you will look at these remains
and tell me exactly what it is that you missed.
I'm guessing this is about
more than a mistake by an assistant.
Why would you think that?
Do you know what she's talking about, or...?
Yes. But I prefer to focus on my own failings at this moment.
Someone's altered your relationship
with Booth, Dr. Brennan.
Do you mean Hannah? Yes.
Whether or not you're happy for him,
you have to have feelings about it.
And if you can't keep that out of the workplace...
Oh, my God. I'm sorry,
Dr. Edison, but sometimes
our personal lives directly affect our work.
No, no, I see what Dr. Brennan means.
These two people weren't beaten at all. You see?
This is about nothing more than Dr. Edison's incompetence.
That was very kind.
But if they weren't beaten,
why did Dr. Hodgins find traces
of sedimentary rock in their wounds?
Because they fell on rocks.
And she broke his fall,
which is why his injuries weren't as severe.
Very good. You see?
I was merely helping Dr. Edison to be a better scientist.
I apologize, Dr. Brennan.
Accepted.
Those people in Chicago...
were...
foolish to lose you, Dr. Edison.
Thank you.
It's actually quite amusing
to think that Hannah could ever affect my work.
So I input all
of the injuries and breaks
that were found on both of the victims.
You can see that they share
mirror fractures on their chests
and pelvises.
They're compression fractures that they share
because he landed on top of her.
This also explains
why his zygomatic and maxilla are shattered.
His face struck the rocks directly.
Now, here are the injuries on her back.
And I found some photographs
of the area surrounding the cave.
I used topographical overlay software
to find the rocks that would match their injuries.
So this section of the rocks here
is the section that matches their injuries.
It's about 250 feet from the cave.
Well, with the amount of blood loss they both were suffering,
they couldn't have made it any farther.
This is the spot.
Well, I want a forensics team to come and,
you know, brush through all these rocks.
They fell from up there.
Maybe it was a suicide thing.
Nah. Uh-uh. There was no note.
And everyone who knew them said they were pretty happy.
W-What's up there?
It's a vista point.
Beautiful view.
It's just tough to access.
Usually only experienced hikers go up there.
Well, Hillary was experienced.
She brought people from the program up here.
Program? Yeah. A.A.
So there wouldn't be a lot of people up there?
No one would see if someone pushed the couple off the cliff?
God. No, I guess not.
Booth.
Great. Thanks.
That was Hodgins. Lupe lied.
He found evidence, uh, in her tire treads
that she was up here.
This place is freaky. Why are we here?
Is this some kind of torture place?
We're just going to verify your story.
I didn't kill them.
Oh, really? Then why did you lie about going to the park?
Because I knew you wouldn't believe me
if you knew I drove out there.
Now that you lied, I believe you even less.
I am telling you, I got allergies.
I followed them, but then I started sneezing up there.
My eyes puffed up.
I couldn't see, so I went home.
You ready? All ready.
Ready? Ready, ready, ready.
Ready? Ready for what?
What are we ready for? I'm not ready.
What are those?
Well, you know, you said you followed them
to the top of the trail, till you couldn't go any further.
'Cause I was sneezing and stuff. Yeah.
Yeah, so we're just going to do a little experiment.
I feel really uncomfortable about this.
We usually don't do experiments on live humans.
I know. Should be fun.
You said you were going to give me a chance to clear myself.
We are, unless you want me to lock you up for a few weeks,
until a public defender comes along to take your case.
That's up to you. What do you think?
These are plants
that grow at the higher altitudes in the park.
Trumpet honeysuckle, red twig dogwood,
Russian hawthorn.
Let's start with that one.
What are you, witches?
'Cause my grandmother knows spells.
Okay. Next one.
This is dogwood.
Not looking good, Lupe.
And this is the honeysuckle.
Oh!
Jeez!
God! Get it away!
Clark, why didn't you say you were allergic?
I didn't know!
I'm calling my grandma!
She's telling the truth, Booth.
Her allergies are severe and she wouldn't have been able
to continue following them up there.
I'm going to go get an antihistamine.
I think I found something.
Most of the flesh was decomposed or eaten by parasites,
except for this area, around his eye and cheek.
Flesh is desiccated,
and seems to be untouched by scavengers.
If they ate everything else, why would the animals avoid that?
That's what I asked myself.
So I did an analysis of the tissue
and compared it with the tissue
I took off other parts of the remains.
This tissue from around his eye contains capsaicin.
Pepper spray?
Yes, but at a very high concentration.
Government issue.
The scavengers wouldn't touch it.
Wait a second. Forest Services issues
a highly concentrated spray
to Park Rangers,
who encounter bears or other aggressive animals.
We looked at Felix's rap sheet a little closer,
and the minor he bought liquor for was your niece.
She drank too much and got into a car accident.
And she died.
Isn't that right, Gary?
I saw him hiking with that woman.
I recognized him from court.
When they left the cabin, I... followed them.
Your sister-in-law's been through enough.
She lost your brother in Afghanistan
and then her daughter.
It's not fair.
Neither was killing those two people.
They let him off with a slap on the wrist.
Counseling. That's crap!
He needed to pay.
We're both soldiers. You understand.
I don't. I don't get that. Come on, man.
When we were over there, we took care of business.
We didn't wait for some trial.
What about the woman?
She was defending him,
saying that he turned his life around.
Collateral damage. It happens.
This isn't war, Gary.
He killed Sarah.
She never had a chance to turn her life around.
So you sprayed them with pepper spray,
and you pushed them off the cliff.
I did the right thing.
For Sarah and my brother.
Nobody's ever going to tell me I didn't do the right thing.

It's sad, you know? But at least
they died in each other's arms.
How could that have made their deaths any less horrible?
Well, 'cause it was love.
I mean... I mean, if you're going to go,
it's best to go with someone you love.
No, but he didn't have to go.
He could have walked farther and gotten help.
At least one of them would have lived.
Well, he couldn't leave her.
All right, that-that's what love is.
So you're saying that love is foolish and illogical.
No. It's-it's thinking of someone before yourself.
It's giving your life,
if necessary, to that person.
I mean, it's, uh, it's love.
And if a person falls out of love
and meets someone else?
Those selfless acts would suddenly appear
to be dangerously irresponsible, wouldn't they?
No. It was still love.
Well, I could never live like that.
Survival is the human imperative.
If we don't look out for ourselves, nothing else matters. That's not true.
You know that, Bones. That is... That's not true. You know that.
You're experiencing a rush of dopamine, norepinephrine,
and serotonin with Hannah.
Those feelings are wonderful. I've felt them.
But I won't rely on the transient nature
of chemicals for my happiness.
Here she is. Wow.
Hey!
Wow. That's a dress.
Hey, Temperance.
Hello.
So, you guys catch a bad guy?
Yes.
It was a Park Ranger with a perverse sense of justice.
Oh.
So, this is, like, a post-criminal drink?
Yeah. It's a post... Y-you want one?
I'll have one. Or two.
Or three at dinner. We should go.
We're going to be late. Yeah, yeah.
We should get going.
Do you want to go?
Oh, no, thanks.
I have to catalog all the forensics.
Come on. Clark can do it.
I don't mind. Have a good night.
So, I'll see you tomorrow, then.
Um, one night, you and me.
Girls' night out.
We'll dish about Seeley.
Come on, let's go. Okay, okay.
