1
00:00:01,173 --> 00:00:03,981
I had a feeling that my Melolontha
melolontha might hatch this morning,
2
00:00:04,050 --> 00:00:07,863
so I came in at the crack of dawn, and
there they were, lined up at the door.
3
00:00:07,898 --> 00:00:10,406
What, your Melolontha melolontha?
No.
4
00:00:10,590 --> 00:00:12,110
The Woodchucks.
5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,019
They appear to be little girls.
6
00:00:15,096 --> 00:00:16,877
Yeah. Woodchucks are like Girl Scouts,
7
00:00:16,912 --> 00:00:19,635
only scientific and
administered by the Jeffersonian.
8
00:00:19,653 --> 00:00:21,256
They brought in
the dead body.
9
00:00:21,387 --> 00:00:23,653
A bunch of little girls
brought a dead body here?
10
00:00:23,730 --> 00:00:25,957
Woodchucks are
very industrious marmots.
11
00:00:25,981 --> 00:00:29,209
Okay, now, this is
Dr. Temperance Brennan.
12
00:00:32,185 --> 00:00:33,510
Why are they applauding?
13
00:00:33,517 --> 00:00:35,365
Apparently,
you're their role model.
14
00:00:35,390 --> 00:00:38,798
What I want to know is why they aren't all
freaked out and getting trauma counseling.
15
00:00:38,833 --> 00:00:41,543
Because they're the type of
children who idolize Dr. Brennan.
16
00:00:41,578 --> 00:00:44,866
So, they were eco-camping on
the banks of the Savage River.
17
00:00:44,947 --> 00:00:47,017
These remains
are completely saturated.
18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,799
The girls fished the body out of
the river and brought it to us.
19
00:00:51,872 --> 00:00:52,811
How?
20
00:00:52,948 --> 00:00:56,186
In our Woodchuck bus.
Very impressive.
21
00:00:56,272 --> 00:00:59,368
I disagree. Those Woodchucks
disturbed a federal crime scene.
22
00:00:59,432 --> 00:01:01,751
The area should have been
secured, samples taken.
23
00:01:01,826 --> 00:01:04,148
Yeah. They did all that.
24
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:07,587
Uh, water samples from the
river where the body was found.
25
00:01:07,593 --> 00:01:09,646
Digital photographs
of the entire area.
26
00:01:09,735 --> 00:01:15,242
Plants, insects, soil samples
tagged with GPS coordinates.
27
00:01:15,277 --> 00:01:18,101
Now, I know my soil samples,
and let me tell you something.
28
00:01:18,192 --> 00:01:20,788
These ladies- they are pros.
29
00:01:20,875 --> 00:01:22,704
Perhaps you should throw them a bone.
30
00:01:22,854 --> 00:01:27,172
Not literally. Metaphorically.
After all, they were very professional.
31
00:01:32,290 --> 00:01:33,922
Attention, Woodchucks.
32
00:01:33,972 --> 00:01:39,268
You were thorough and assiduous in your
treatment of the body and the crime scene.
33
00:01:40,284 --> 00:01:43,137
But next time, please leave
the evidence where you found it,
34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,729
and let the experienced
professionals do their job.
35
00:01:45,821 --> 00:01:48,555
Boo!
But we helped!
36
00:01:48,816 --> 00:01:50,065
You're mean!
37
00:01:52,085 --> 00:01:53,610
Their moods are capricious.
38
00:01:53,645 --> 00:01:56,321
You couldn't have just let them
have that one, let it go by?
39
00:01:56,356 --> 00:01:57,903
Then they'd never learn.
40
00:02:02,970 --> 00:02:05,969
Ugh! What causes a corpse
to smell like a fart?
41
00:02:06,514 --> 00:02:08,069
A number of things.
42
00:02:08,101 --> 00:02:10,491
A compromised
intestinal tract,
43
00:02:10,657 --> 00:02:15,880
methane, some mining
processes, oil and gas refining.
44
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:17,268
Volcanoes?
45
00:02:17,349 --> 00:02:19,284
Volcanoes? Awesome.
46
00:02:19,419 --> 00:02:21,689
Which of those was it this time?
Probably sulfur.
47
00:02:21,724 --> 00:02:24,782
Tissue samples indicate a high
concentration of hydrogen sulfide.
48
00:02:24,817 --> 00:02:27,126
X- rays indicate this
is a middle-aged male
49
00:02:27,138 --> 00:02:30,002
between 170
and 190 centimeters tall.
50
00:02:30,127 --> 00:02:32,583
Skeleton is pretty banged up.
51
00:02:32,618 --> 00:02:35,695
Well, bouncing around the Savage
River for two months will do that.
52
00:02:36,824 --> 00:02:40,698
All the distal phalanges are missing
from the interphalangeal joints.
53
00:02:40,704 --> 00:02:42,816
He's missing his fingers.
What does that tell you?
54
00:02:42,857 --> 00:02:45,106
Tells me it was the mob,
snipping off fingerprints.
55
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:47,651
That very well may be,
but what it tells me
56
00:02:47,652 --> 00:02:50,925
is you're going out to look for fingertips,
in case the Woodchucks missed them.
57
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:53,308
The body was found
by woodchucks?
58
00:02:53,704 --> 00:02:55,737
Take Hodgins.
He'll explain.
59
00:02:57,491 --> 00:02:59,878
Hydrogen sulfide?
Yeah, guy's full of it.
60
00:02:59,989 --> 00:03:01,873
So he smells basically
like a fart?
61
00:03:02,203 --> 00:03:04,913
Had to be pretty strong to cover
up the rotting corpse smell, right?
62
00:03:04,948 --> 00:03:08,777
Hey, maybe somebody drenched him in
sulfur to deal with the dead body stench.
63
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,249
Or somebody tried to put him in suspended
animation. That involves sulfides.
64
00:03:12,258 --> 00:03:13,374
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
65
00:03:13,625 --> 00:03:16,102
Are you referring to
ultra-secret military experiments
66
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,743
to prolong life
by inducing hibernation?
67
00:03:18,867 --> 00:03:20,892
Uh, it's not
ultra secret.
68
00:03:21,173 --> 00:03:22,624
The Army is doing
field trials.
69
00:03:22,789 --> 00:03:24,989
I got a cousin in Iraq.
It maybe saved his life.
70
00:03:25,386 --> 00:03:26,795
It's not ultra secret?
71
00:03:27,135 --> 00:03:29,809
Look, man, the trouble with getting
your info from conspiracy nuts
72
00:03:29,908 --> 00:03:31,740
is they never know when to turn it off.
73
00:03:31,814 --> 00:03:32,754
Hey, you
wait and see.
74
00:03:32,843 --> 00:03:35,980
We're gonna find that our victim was
tortured a little too enthusiastically,
75
00:03:36,015 --> 00:03:37,960
and then the government tried
to bring him back to life.
76
00:03:37,995 --> 00:03:40,706
Proving my point there, Hodgins.
Totally proving my point.
77
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:43,472
Hey, should we call the military
possibility in to Booth?
78
00:03:43,578 --> 00:03:47,610
Yeah. Ooh, just leave
out my torture theory.
79
00:03:51,117 --> 00:03:52,770
Oh, so, you got a
face on the victim?
80
00:03:52,813 --> 00:03:54,581
Why are you here?
I- I would have called.
81
00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:57,825
Oh, I thought Hodgins might
have something on this whole
82
00:03:58,133 --> 00:03:59,913
suspended animation thing.
83
00:03:59,974 --> 00:04:01,176
Hey, you listened to Hodgins?
84
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:03,383
I listened to Wendell.
Well, what is DARPA?
85
00:04:03,508 --> 00:04:05,422
Uh, it's a Department
of Defense agency.
86
00:04:05,517 --> 00:04:08,017
The Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency.
87
00:04:08,072 --> 00:04:10,277
Hodgins says they're into
some pretty weird stuff.
88
00:04:10,309 --> 00:04:11,651
Like creating
super soldiers
89
00:04:11,741 --> 00:04:14,881
who don't need sleep and can
kill with their laser beam eyes.
90
00:04:14,925 --> 00:04:17,190
Right, well, I don't know
about the laser beam eye thing,
91
00:04:17,225 --> 00:04:20,444
but they did have a master sergeant go
missing about a couple of months ago.
92
00:04:20,523 --> 00:04:23,985
Was the sergeant involved with
the hydrogen sulfide trials?
93
00:04:24,067 --> 00:04:27,040
Well, they wouldn't confirm, but I'll
tell you what. They sounded nervous.
94
00:04:27,075 --> 00:04:28,530
There's no photograph
in here.
95
00:04:28,634 --> 00:04:30,778
DARPA doesn't give out any photos.
You give me the reconstruction, though,
96
00:04:30,851 --> 00:04:34,819
I can show them that, and they can
tell us if we got their guy. So,
97
00:04:34,937 --> 00:04:36,300
what do you have?
98
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,043
Okay.
99
00:04:39,082 --> 00:04:40,843
Before you freak out,
100
00:04:40,930 --> 00:04:44,925
you should know that I double and triple
checked the measurements and indicators.
101
00:04:44,976 --> 00:04:47,045
Okay, look, I don't freak out.
Do I freak out?
102
00:04:47,359 --> 00:04:49,884
Some... Sometimes.
Can we just see the image, please?
103
00:04:53,993 --> 00:04:55,720
Yeah. What's that supposed
to be?
104
00:04:55,812 --> 00:04:57,611
Half man, half chicken?
Come on.
105
00:04:57,654 --> 00:04:59,465
I believe this
to be fairly accurate.
106
00:04:59,543 --> 00:05:01,668
Okay, so you want me
to go ask the Defense Department
107
00:05:01,775 --> 00:05:05,955
if their experimental super
soldier is half man, half chicken?
108
00:05:41,584 --> 00:05:43,720
DARPA created a chicken soldier?
109
00:05:43,797 --> 00:05:46,624
I do not see the United States
Military making a chicken soldier.
110
00:05:46,706 --> 00:05:47,815
An eagle, maybe.
111
00:05:47,878 --> 00:05:50,209
Maybe that's why we couldn't
find his so-called fingers.
112
00:05:50,291 --> 00:05:52,402
'Cause they were transformed
into talons.
113
00:05:52,524 --> 00:05:55,148
I mean, talons... they
would be much better weapons.
114
00:05:55,223 --> 00:05:59,043
Human remains in water tend to lose all
their fingers and toes due to predation.
115
00:05:59,165 --> 00:06:01,636
But if I were going
to combine human and animal DNA
116
00:06:01,671 --> 00:06:05,315
with an eye toward creating a super
soldier, I'd go with a flatworm.
117
00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:06,218
Why?
118
00:06:06,295 --> 00:06:08,434
Self-regeneration, obviously.
119
00:06:08,557 --> 00:06:09,321
People!
120
00:06:09,421 --> 00:06:11,809
Let's break this down as though
we aren't in a comic book.
121
00:06:12,665 --> 00:06:15,985
No water in the sinuses or
lungs, no pulmonary edema.
122
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,089
He didn't drown.
123
00:06:17,162 --> 00:06:20,039
Oh, the sinus cavity
is abnormally large.
124
00:06:20,118 --> 00:06:23,144
His whole sinus cavity is
scarred. The septum's almost gone.
125
00:06:23,315 --> 00:06:27,485
Evidence of multiple constrictions of
the arterioles at Kiesselbach's plexus.
126
00:06:27,793 --> 00:06:29,326
Well, that is a lot
of scar tissue.
127
00:06:29,433 --> 00:06:31,241
What are we talking here,
plastic surgery?
128
00:06:31,435 --> 00:06:35,382
Well, the scarring could explain
why he has a beak-like nose.
129
00:06:35,567 --> 00:06:38,839
Polyps and tumors in the maxillary and
sphenoid could have enlarged the cavity.
130
00:06:38,872 --> 00:06:42,063
The closest thing I've ever seen to that
is a cocaine addict who ran out of drugs,
131
00:06:42,114 --> 00:06:44,595
and started snorting things like
sugar and powdered detergent.
132
00:06:44,658 --> 00:06:46,652
Does anyone have any
explanation for these red stripes
133
00:06:46,687 --> 00:06:49,546
extending from the soft palate
down the esophagus?
134
00:06:49,838 --> 00:06:51,807
Lacerations?
Hmm.
135
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,129
May I?
136
00:06:56,927 --> 00:06:59,466
I don't think
these are lacerations.
137
00:07:05,819 --> 00:07:09,244
Is that an organism?
Syngamus trachea.
138
00:07:09,323 --> 00:07:11,675
It's a gapeworm.
Where'd it come from?
139
00:07:11,710 --> 00:07:13,586
I don't think
you're gonna like my answer.
140
00:07:13,709 --> 00:07:17,210
Uh, it's a parasite found
in chickens.
141
00:07:17,245 --> 00:07:20,445
Do not tell me we're back to
super chicken soldier again.
142
00:07:26,857 --> 00:07:27,708
Why a chicken?
143
00:07:27,753 --> 00:07:30,060
Wendell thinks maybe he was
supposed to be an eagle.
144
00:07:30,118 --> 00:07:31,107
You should be getting it now.
145
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,005
You know, you make a super
soldier, you would think
146
00:07:33,057 --> 00:07:34,805
it would be like a robot
or something invisible.
147
00:07:34,815 --> 00:07:36,754
Now you're just delving
into pure science fiction.
148
00:07:36,789 --> 00:07:38,407
Like a flatworm-
that's not science fiction.
149
00:07:38,466 --> 00:07:41,054
Or a half chicken- that's not
considered science fiction.
150
00:07:41,188 --> 00:07:43,904
Yeah. Okay, so we agree that
it does look like a chicken.
151
00:07:44,077 --> 00:07:47,905
No, it is not a joke. Just tell me
if we have your missing DARPA guy.
152
00:07:48,871 --> 00:07:52,481
Does your missing sergeant look
anything like an animal?
153
00:07:52,516 --> 00:07:53,945
Any kind of an animal?
154
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:56,686
A bulldog.
155
00:07:58,658 --> 00:08:01,267
So the Defense Department
won't be claiming the body?
156
00:08:01,302 --> 00:08:02,509
Nope.
157
00:08:04,834 --> 00:08:05,957
Oh.
158
00:08:06,346 --> 00:08:08,738
Getting a hit off
of Angela's chicken man picture.
159
00:08:08,815 --> 00:08:10,344
Probably
from the animal shelter.
160
00:08:10,701 --> 00:08:13,125
Whoa. Oh, God.
What?
161
00:08:13,929 --> 00:08:17,074
Wow. Is Angela good, or is she good?
162
00:08:17,143 --> 00:08:19,927
Those are the same question.
Yeah.
163
00:08:24,403 --> 00:08:25,972
"Nick Rabin. "
164
00:08:26,035 --> 00:08:28,734
He's head of personnel
at Clucksten Farms.
165
00:08:28,930 --> 00:08:30,187
A chicken farm?
166
00:08:30,434 --> 00:08:32,659
This is getting
weirder and weirder.
167
00:08:38,909 --> 00:08:41,983
Save a chicken! Fry a worker!
Cluck you! Cluck you! Close down Clucksten!
168
00:08:42,184 --> 00:08:45,484
Cluck you! Cluck
you! Close down Clucksten!
169
00:08:45,585 --> 00:08:48,472
Cluck you! Clucky you!
Close down Clucksten!
170
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,122
Cluck you! Cluck you!
Close down...!
171
00:08:52,078 --> 00:08:53,539
Wonder what they're protesting.
172
00:08:53,789 --> 00:08:56,352
Well, my first guess-
the stench.
173
00:08:57,220 --> 00:08:59,304
At least they're not
throwing eggs at us, huh?
174
00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:01,133
Chicken killer!
Close down Clucksten!
175
00:09:01,194 --> 00:09:05,744
Cluck you! Cluck you! Close down Clucksten!
Hey, rest the voice, Josh.
176
00:09:06,213 --> 00:09:07,617
You the, uh, FBI folks?
177
00:09:07,621 --> 00:09:09,282
Yeah.
Come on in.
178
00:09:09,595 --> 00:09:12,686
We'll find a quieter place to talk.
You're working in a death camp!
179
00:09:12,884 --> 00:09:15,124
Cluck you! Cluck you!
Close down Clucksten!
180
00:09:16,618 --> 00:09:17,995
So, what's with the protesters?
181
00:09:18,178 --> 00:09:20,560
Oh, maybe half
are animal rights nuts.
182
00:09:20,771 --> 00:09:23,678
Ah. They might have a point.
183
00:09:25,450 --> 00:09:27,697
The other half must
just hate the smell.
184
00:09:27,746 --> 00:09:30,931
Clucksten Farms has
been here since the 1940s.
185
00:09:30,996 --> 00:09:34,353
We didn't ask anyone
to build a development downwind.
186
00:09:39,034 --> 00:09:40,705
What's that smell?
187
00:09:42,888 --> 00:09:44,137
Yeah?
188
00:09:45,779 --> 00:09:48,087
Hey, John.
Uh, Mrs. Rabin,
189
00:09:49,034 --> 00:09:52,139
this is Agent Booth and
his associate Dr. Brennan.
190
00:09:52,174 --> 00:09:53,468
They're from the FBI.
191
00:09:53,529 --> 00:09:56,556
This is Gaynor Rabin. She's, uh,
the accountant here at Clucksten.
192
00:09:56,649 --> 00:09:59,209
She's also uh, Nick's wife.
193
00:09:59,801 --> 00:10:01,350
Is this
about my husband?
194
00:10:02,157 --> 00:10:04,550
He's dead, isn't he?
I'm afraid so.
195
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:06,386
We're very sorry for your loss.
196
00:10:07,631 --> 00:10:08,807
What happened to him?
197
00:10:08,865 --> 00:10:11,327
We're still in the process
of figuring that out.
198
00:10:12,719 --> 00:10:14,030
You don't seem too surprised.
199
00:10:14,121 --> 00:10:15,652
Nick was never the type
to just disappear.
200
00:10:15,713 --> 00:10:17,621
I knew right away
it was something terrible.
201
00:10:18,168 --> 00:10:19,957
Where'd you find him?
In the Savage River,
202
00:10:20,019 --> 00:10:22,329
approximately 16 kilometers
from here.
203
00:10:22,643 --> 00:10:24,173
Nick drowned?
204
00:10:24,983 --> 00:10:27,359
I don't understand. He
never swam in that river.
205
00:10:27,394 --> 00:10:30,067
Your husband's nose and
sinuses were deformed.
206
00:10:30,169 --> 00:10:32,968
He didn't take the proper
precautions at work, did he?
207
00:10:33,020 --> 00:10:34,642
No, I told him,
but he didn't care.
208
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,622
Sorry. Precautions to keep
from turning into a chicken?
209
00:10:36,730 --> 00:10:38,855
It's the hydrogen sulfide
we smell.
210
00:10:38,914 --> 00:10:41,165
Without a breathing apparatus,
high concentrations
211
00:10:41,258 --> 00:10:44,452
over a period of time
would deform the sinuses.
212
00:10:44,516 --> 00:10:46,134
Nick worked here since
he was a teenager.
213
00:10:46,169 --> 00:10:49,175
He said he was a chicken farmer,
and he'd take the consequences.
214
00:10:49,788 --> 00:10:51,898
How did my husband end up
in the river?
215
00:10:51,971 --> 00:10:54,228
Well, we were hoping that maybe
you'd be able to help us with that.
216
00:10:54,251 --> 00:10:57,165
When I filed the missing persons
report, I told the police everything.
217
00:10:57,494 --> 00:10:59,853
He just disappeared.
We have reason to believe
218
00:10:59,959 --> 00:11:02,451
this wasn't
an accidental drowning.
219
00:11:04,045 --> 00:11:08,486
You think my husband was murdered?
Yes.
220
00:11:12,614 --> 00:11:16,684
Mr. Clucksten said that Nick was next
in line to take over the business.
221
00:11:16,767 --> 00:11:18,462
The first people that
you wanna check out
222
00:11:18,555 --> 00:11:20,929
are those anti-chicken
fanatics at the gate.
223
00:11:21,051 --> 00:11:23,775
They always threaten to make
an example out of someone.
224
00:11:33,813 --> 00:11:37,082
Five months and 14 days
I have been celibate.
225
00:11:37,168 --> 00:11:38,902
Angela, that is very impressive.
226
00:11:39,025 --> 00:11:40,306
Thank you.
227
00:11:42,010 --> 00:11:43,132
Sweets was right.
228
00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:44,566
Taking sex out of that equation
229
00:11:44,905 --> 00:11:46,887
made me relate to people
in a totally different way.
230
00:11:46,966 --> 00:11:49,760
Yeah, once you got past
the mega-horny stage.
231
00:11:50,405 --> 00:11:54,250
The point is, is that
my six months is almost up.
232
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,844
So...
233
00:11:56,824 --> 00:11:58,681
No.
No, what?
234
00:11:58,682 --> 00:12:01,115
I am not gonna be the
one that breaks your fast.
235
00:12:01,396 --> 00:12:03,051
I- I wasn't asking.
236
00:12:03,228 --> 00:12:06,194
In fact, you should know that I
was considering going for a year.
237
00:12:07,381 --> 00:12:10,653
That's definitely a chicken parasite
we found in the victim's esophagus.
238
00:12:10,756 --> 00:12:12,648
I wasn't asking, Jack.
239
00:12:13,074 --> 00:12:14,554
I was just...
240
00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:18,528
keeping you in the loop.
Okay.
241
00:12:19,955 --> 00:12:21,417
Okay.
242
00:12:26,025 --> 00:12:27,666
Cluck you! Cluck you!
243
00:12:28,253 --> 00:12:30,145
Save a chicken! Fry a worker!
244
00:12:30,380 --> 00:12:33,859
Cluck you! Cluck you!
Cluck you! Cluck you!
245
00:12:34,030 --> 00:12:35,376
MAN;
There's the employees!
246
00:12:35,510 --> 00:12:38,371
Hey, lady, you gonna go
kill some chickens today?!
247
00:12:38,414 --> 00:12:40,522
Cluck you! Cluck you! Cluck you!
248
00:12:40,614 --> 00:12:42,795
Get out of my face and go get a job!
Murderer!
249
00:12:42,884 --> 00:12:45,606
Murderer now?
What do you want me to do?
250
00:12:45,681 --> 00:12:47,995
Huh?! She's psycho! Psycho chicken killer!
I got kids to feed!
251
00:12:48,030 --> 00:12:50,239
Okay, Gina!
What do you want me to do?!
252
00:12:50,323 --> 00:12:52,968
Okay, Gina. Gina! Gina!
I got kids to feed!
253
00:12:52,994 --> 00:12:54,544
Look, you're just... you're
just giving them what they want.
254
00:12:54,629 --> 00:12:56,655
I'm doing an honest day's
work, damn it, that's all!
255
00:12:57,026 --> 00:12:58,144
Just go, just go.
256
00:12:58,179 --> 00:13:00,379
You don't wanna be late
for your shift. All right.
257
00:13:01,314 --> 00:13:02,728
Cluck you! Cluck
you! Close down Cluckster's!
258
00:13:03,156 --> 00:13:05,555
These people don't seem to like
the way you treat the chickens.
259
00:13:05,612 --> 00:13:06,908
So how do you treat the chickens?
260
00:13:06,968 --> 00:13:09,179
Like delicious birds
that people love to eat.
261
00:13:09,214 --> 00:13:12,439
Look, does anyone in particular here
have a beef with, uh, Nick Rabin?
262
00:13:14,265 --> 00:13:16,108
Josh Parsons.
263
00:13:17,154 --> 00:13:20,541
He snuck in, he took
some unauthorized video,
264
00:13:20,642 --> 00:13:23,490
cut it together in a very damning
manner and he put it on the Internet.
265
00:13:23,627 --> 00:13:25,099
Nick popped him one, too.
266
00:13:26,842 --> 00:13:29,170
Close down
Cluckster's! Veggies, not birds!
267
00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:31,482
FBI Special Agent Booth. This
here is Dr. Temperance Brennan.
268
00:13:31,566 --> 00:13:33,565
What, you're here to protect them
while they mistreat and torture
269
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,906
the chickens on this farm and the people
who live downwind of its foul emanations?
270
00:13:36,966 --> 00:13:39,757
You practice that speech much, pal?
We found Nick Rabin's body.
271
00:13:39,792 --> 00:13:41,940
As of now you are our
number one suspect.
272
00:13:42,065 --> 00:13:44,239
Please, I didn't kill anyone.
I'm an extreme pacifist.
273
00:13:44,313 --> 00:13:47,868
That's an oxymoron. You're either
extreme or pacifist. You can't be both.
274
00:13:47,934 --> 00:13:50,523
You are working as a tool
of the poultry lobbyists.
275
00:13:50,915 --> 00:13:53,006
Code Yellow!
276
00:13:53,284 --> 00:13:55,638
Oh! MAN: All
right, get 'em!
277
00:13:55,803 --> 00:13:57,824
They're with the
the chicken lobbyists!
278
00:13:58,270 --> 00:13:59,899
Joke's on you!
279
00:14:01,111 --> 00:14:04,114
Here's your feathers! Why
don't you fly back to Washington?
280
00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:09,305
Okay, you do know that
you're all under arrest, right?
281
00:14:09,366 --> 00:14:11,405
What are you
talking about? What?
282
00:14:15,434 --> 00:14:20,944
The stench of ammonia and feces
overwhelm you, as 30,000 silent chickens
283
00:14:20,949 --> 00:14:24,352
sit miserably in total
darkness waiting to die.
284
00:14:24,462 --> 00:14:27,322
That's your voice
narrating, isn't it, Mr. Parsons?
285
00:14:27,429 --> 00:14:28,569
Yes, I'm proud of my work.
286
00:14:28,662 --> 00:14:33,728
Well, the FBI believes that you snuck
onto the premises to record a second video.
287
00:14:33,868 --> 00:14:36,162
You were caught by
Nick Rabin and you killed him.
288
00:14:36,256 --> 00:14:37,504
That's exactly what happened.
289
00:14:37,598 --> 00:14:39,316
I don't think it
played out that way.
290
00:14:39,413 --> 00:14:41,208
Dr. Sweets here says
you're the type of guy
291
00:14:41,248 --> 00:14:43,669
who couldn't kill,
except in self-defense.
292
00:14:43,728 --> 00:14:44,792
I never attacked anyone.
293
00:14:44,854 --> 00:14:46,256
Oh, really? 'Cause you
tarred and feathered me.
294
00:14:46,338 --> 00:14:48,224
It was corn syrup
and paper feathers.
295
00:14:48,274 --> 00:14:50,312
And I didn't sneak in and
take that video footage.
296
00:14:50,347 --> 00:14:53,395
I got back to my bicycle one night and
there was an envelope in the spokes.
297
00:14:53,469 --> 00:14:56,122
You know what, I'm gonna need the
name of your chicken spy on the inside.
298
00:14:56,326 --> 00:14:58,536
No.
And the original footage,
299
00:14:58,660 --> 00:15:00,095
not the stuff
you cut together here.
300
00:15:00,189 --> 00:15:02,692
I will absolutely
not turn over to you
301
00:15:02,784 --> 00:15:04,519
any information
which was entrusted to me
302
00:15:04,595 --> 00:15:08,707
by the courageous individual who risked
his or her job to aid innocent creatures
303
00:15:08,781 --> 00:15:10,252
who are unable to defend themselves.
304
00:15:10,253 --> 00:15:11,809
You know what? You don't hand
over the original footage,
305
00:15:11,868 --> 00:15:13,760
I'm just gonna charge you
with assaulting a federal agent.
306
00:15:13,869 --> 00:15:17,972
Ooh, that's what? $200,000 fine
and one year in a federal prison?
307
00:15:18,035 --> 00:15:20,583
You know, if you're locked up, who's
gonna speak for the chickens, huh, pal?
308
00:15:21,423 --> 00:15:23,683
Okay, okay. Uh, just hold on.
309
00:15:32,004 --> 00:15:33,687
That's the raw
video footage.
310
00:15:34,573 --> 00:15:36,041
Exactly the way that I got it.
311
00:15:36,103 --> 00:15:37,776
See?
It all worked out great.
312
00:15:41,156 --> 00:15:42,736
Cause of death, Mr. Bray?
313
00:15:43,340 --> 00:15:45,181
Most of the fractures
are postmortem.
314
00:15:45,244 --> 00:15:47,378
And the bone bruising,
probably from going over the dam
315
00:15:47,452 --> 00:15:49,152
and getting stuck in the
whirlpool at the bottom.
316
00:15:49,196 --> 00:15:51,693
Like going through
a giant washing machine.
317
00:15:51,753 --> 00:15:57,545
Yeah, but this damage to the
cervical vertebrae is not postmortem.
318
00:15:58,379 --> 00:16:00,599
This is an undamaged
cervical section.
319
00:16:00,751 --> 00:16:01,999
Here is our victim.
320
00:16:02,096 --> 00:16:04,619
The C2 vertebra
rotated laterally
321
00:16:04,714 --> 00:16:08,958
while the ligaments and facets of the
transverse processes were subluxed and locked.
322
00:16:08,993 --> 00:16:09,855
A broken neck.
323
00:16:09,897 --> 00:16:13,177
The fracture pattern
suggests a wrenching motion.
324
00:16:13,595 --> 00:16:14,905
You mean wrung?
325
00:16:15,201 --> 00:16:16,320
Yeah.
326
00:16:16,384 --> 00:16:17,990
The chicken man was killed
327
00:16:18,029 --> 00:16:20,302
by having his neck wrung?
Yeah.
328
00:16:20,454 --> 00:16:21,467
Ironic, right?
329
00:16:21,548 --> 00:16:25,765
We are gonna have to catalog these
injuries chronologically. Talk to Angela.
330
00:16:25,821 --> 00:16:28,567
See if she has some kind of
imaging technique that can help.
331
00:16:31,067 --> 00:16:34,671
Nearly ten billion chickens are
hatched in the U.S. annually.
332
00:16:34,762 --> 00:16:37,484
Most in places like this.
It's like a warehouse.
333
00:16:37,571 --> 00:16:41,039
Yeah, each chicken is given less
than a half a square foot of space.
334
00:16:41,601 --> 00:16:45,702
And look at this part, the little
baby chicks get their beaks cut off.
335
00:16:46,103 --> 00:16:48,803
Why?
Supposedly to keep them from fighting.
336
00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:50,490
How do they fight
when they're penned up?
337
00:16:50,615 --> 00:16:53,235
Well, it's the stress
of being jammed together.
338
00:16:53,316 --> 00:16:54,529
I guess they go crazy.
339
00:16:55,513 --> 00:16:56,821
Are you upset?
340
00:16:57,123 --> 00:16:59,520
Yeah, I am.
341
00:17:00,694 --> 00:17:01,659
Aren't you?
342
00:17:01,740 --> 00:17:06,667
I'm not certain how sentient
chickens actually are, Angela.
343
00:17:06,729 --> 00:17:08,367
Yeah, but they can feel.
344
00:17:08,482 --> 00:17:09,927
I mean, you can see
that they can.
345
00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:11,850
And you know what else? If
it turns out that there was
346
00:17:11,939 --> 00:17:15,450
some kind of chicken revolution and
they offed this guy, I am with them.
347
00:17:15,547 --> 00:17:18,189
But it's our job to figure out
who killed the human being.
348
00:17:18,625 --> 00:17:19,771
Yeah, I guess.
349
00:17:19,806 --> 00:17:23,054
Because it probably
wasn't a chicken revolution.
350
00:17:23,094 --> 00:17:25,623
It was probably
another human being.
351
00:17:26,387 --> 00:17:27,639
Fine.
352
00:17:28,930 --> 00:17:32,861
I was able to extract the metadata that
was embedded in the original video file.
353
00:17:32,924 --> 00:17:34,940
Time and date that
the video was taken
354
00:17:35,045 --> 00:17:38,852
and aperture, make and model of the
camera including the serial number.
355
00:17:38,904 --> 00:17:40,322
Could you trace
the serial number?
356
00:17:40,412 --> 00:17:44,407
Yeah, the owner sent in
the manufacturer's warranty.
357
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:46,450
Which included
the serial number.
358
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,605
Gaynor Rabin.
The victim's wife.
359
00:17:50,492 --> 00:17:51,770
Thank you, Angela.
360
00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:54,172
And I'm sorry the chickens
make you feel bad.
361
00:17:57,363 --> 00:17:58,542
Hey.
362
00:17:59,795 --> 00:18:01,382
What about pigs?
363
00:18:01,464 --> 00:18:02,461
Pigs are sentient.
364
00:18:02,786 --> 00:18:04,315
That's a non-sequitur.
365
00:18:04,408 --> 00:18:05,601
Pigs make bacon.
366
00:18:05,969 --> 00:18:08,767
And not only are they sentient,
they're smarter than dogs.
367
00:18:08,822 --> 00:18:10,728
Well, I don't eat bacon.
I'm a vegetarian.
368
00:18:10,805 --> 00:18:13,594
Yeah, for health reasons.
Listen, Brennan.
369
00:18:15,625 --> 00:18:17,796
I want to save
this little piglet.
370
00:18:17,831 --> 00:18:19,967
That particular,
specific piglet?
371
00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:22,372
Yes.
It's gonna be $1,500.
372
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,928
Are you in?
No.
373
00:18:25,969 --> 00:18:27,590
Yeah, but look at his face.
374
00:18:28,277 --> 00:18:30,136
How can you resist this face?
375
00:18:30,185 --> 00:18:34,303
Saving one pig or chicken
is symbolic at best, Angela.
376
00:18:34,377 --> 00:18:35,566
This is not a symbol.
377
00:18:35,811 --> 00:18:37,297
This is a face.
378
00:18:38,132 --> 00:18:42,082
It worries me that you can look
into these eyes and be so cold.
379
00:18:42,744 --> 00:18:45,293
I'm sure he's
a fine piglet, but...
380
00:18:45,328 --> 00:18:46,956
How are we friends?
381
00:18:48,035 --> 00:18:50,958
H... How is it possible? I
mean, we have nothing in common.
382
00:18:51,018 --> 00:18:54,987
What, you don't wanna be friends
anymore because the pig is cute?
383
00:19:03,122 --> 00:19:05,335
What if the
victim used his wife's camera
384
00:19:05,379 --> 00:19:07,656
to strike back at the company
that disfigured him?
385
00:19:07,691 --> 00:19:09,966
Maybe he was
having an affair.
386
00:19:10,044 --> 00:19:13,073
Or maybe she was just sick
of kissing a guy with a beak.
387
00:19:13,167 --> 00:19:15,737
Hey, oh! Today's special: Chicken.
388
00:19:15,925 --> 00:19:17,362
Ironic.
Right, yeah.
389
00:19:17,422 --> 00:19:19,860
Everything okay there, Bones? I know
when something is wrong with you.
390
00:19:19,969 --> 00:19:22,709
Something's wrong, all right?
What can I do to help?
391
00:19:25,255 --> 00:19:27,108
Angela and I had a fight.
392
00:19:27,551 --> 00:19:29,079
Nothing I can do to help.
393
00:19:29,267 --> 00:19:31,245
You want to hear about it?
No.
394
00:19:31,296 --> 00:19:32,580
Why not?
Why? Because
395
00:19:32,662 --> 00:19:33,928
her and Angela are best friends.
396
00:19:33,992 --> 00:19:36,065
And Bones is going to
want me to take her side
397
00:19:36,104 --> 00:19:38,359
and agree that
Angela was wrong.
398
00:19:38,423 --> 00:19:39,660
And then, you know,
the two of them
399
00:19:39,695 --> 00:19:41,591
are gonna make up and then
they're gonna be mad at me.
400
00:19:41,636 --> 00:19:43,072
So, no, thank you.
401
00:19:43,227 --> 00:19:44,415
That's very interesting.
Mm-hmm.
402
00:19:44,491 --> 00:19:46,436
You know, the way you
say "very interesting"
403
00:19:47,131 --> 00:19:48,739
is very irritating.
404
00:19:49,437 --> 00:19:52,859
Listen, Bones, I would do
anything for you. I'd die for you,
405
00:19:52,901 --> 00:19:56,926
I would kill for you, but I am not
getting in between two best friends.
406
00:19:57,614 --> 00:20:00,179
Okay. What were you saying, Sweets?
407
00:20:00,563 --> 00:20:03,860
Hmm? Oh, I've,
uh, I've been considering
408
00:20:03,933 --> 00:20:06,044
the, uh, symbolism of this murder.
409
00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:08,995
Being tossed over a dam
isn't very chickeny, you know?
410
00:20:09,071 --> 00:20:10,688
You'd think that the
victim would show up
411
00:20:10,764 --> 00:20:12,788
in a rotisserie
or a deep fryer or something.
412
00:20:12,823 --> 00:20:15,823
I remember a month ago,
a chicken restaurant chain
413
00:20:16,146 --> 00:20:19,068
reported human phalanges
in some deep fried treats.
414
00:20:19,110 --> 00:20:21,382
Kid bit into a thumb.
Right, the mom hit a toe.
415
00:20:21,392 --> 00:20:23,496
It was, uh,
Bock Box Chicken Hut.
416
00:20:23,525 --> 00:20:25,789
Maybe the toe is our victim's.
Totally poetic justice.
417
00:20:25,884 --> 00:20:29,332
If you can get the body parts from
those chicken treats to the Jeffersonian,
418
00:20:29,408 --> 00:20:31,487
we'll see if they match our victims.
Okay.
419
00:20:31,968 --> 00:20:32,891
All right.
420
00:20:33,309 --> 00:20:36,784
I'm going back to the lab. Send
the fingers over when you get them.
421
00:20:36,853 --> 00:20:39,580
Whoa, whoa, listen, Bones,
everything is gonna be okay
422
00:20:39,704 --> 00:20:41,357
between you and Angela,
all right?
423
00:20:41,407 --> 00:20:42,731
You two are like sisters.
424
00:20:42,780 --> 00:20:45,636
I'm just not used to not
getting along with people.
425
00:20:45,671 --> 00:20:47,493
Seriously? 'Cause it seems
like...
426
00:20:48,711 --> 00:20:50,500
Thanks, Booth.
427
00:20:52,049 --> 00:20:55,044
Just bring in the human
parts tomorrow, and I'll...
428
00:20:57,535 --> 00:20:59,513
I'll take a look.
Okay.
429
00:21:02,319 --> 00:21:04,655
If you combine your
"don't get between women" rule
430
00:21:04,686 --> 00:21:07,672
and your "like sisters" observation,
you know what I come up with?
431
00:21:08,283 --> 00:21:11,821
You dated sisters.
They were identical twins.
432
00:21:12,153 --> 00:21:13,787
Oh, yeah, it was all wrong.
433
00:21:13,865 --> 00:21:16,329
Oh, no, it's all right. It's all right.
434
00:21:16,372 --> 00:21:18,049
We should stop.
Order your wings.
435
00:21:23,102 --> 00:21:27,131
These have been frozen,
flash-fried, microwaved,
436
00:21:27,241 --> 00:21:29,871
bitten, spat out, then
preserved as evidence.
437
00:21:29,967 --> 00:21:33,687
Bone density would indicate that all
four digits came from the same person.
438
00:21:33,744 --> 00:21:36,820
They all came from the same local
chain of chicken restaurants.
439
00:21:37,143 --> 00:21:38,723
Bock Box.
I beg your pardon?
440
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:41,113
Bock Box Chicken Huts.
Is Clucksten a supplier?
441
00:21:41,168 --> 00:21:41,906
They're one of them.
442
00:21:41,965 --> 00:21:44,901
No way of telling where these
particular human nuggets came from.
443
00:21:45,006 --> 00:21:48,881
There's a lack of bruising on
the bone at the incision point.
444
00:21:49,020 --> 00:21:52,089
Removed postmortem,
so not torture, obviously.
445
00:21:52,221 --> 00:21:54,573
There are symmetrical
slice marks.
446
00:21:54,634 --> 00:21:58,237
Also, pinching in the center
of the bone and tissue.
447
00:21:58,329 --> 00:21:59,629
Removed with shears?
448
00:21:59,937 --> 00:22:03,040
You should do a DNA test,
of course, but I'm confident
449
00:22:03,134 --> 00:22:07,033
*************
450
00:22:18,297 --> 00:22:19,739
Hey.
451
00:22:21,073 --> 00:22:23,933
Are you here because of your
argument with Dr. Brennan?
452
00:22:24,006 --> 00:22:26,117
No, I-I'm here for a donation.
453
00:22:26,230 --> 00:22:28,485
She told you about our fight?
454
00:22:28,726 --> 00:22:31,197
Booth figured it out. I
was just sitting there.
455
00:22:31,307 --> 00:22:32,755
A donation for what?
456
00:22:34,072 --> 00:22:37,798
It's going to cost $1,500
to save this piglet.
457
00:22:39,172 --> 00:22:42,193
How much are you in for?
Are those tears in your eyes?
458
00:22:42,718 --> 00:22:46,658
I'm just... I can't stop
thinking about this little piglet.
459
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:50,216
Okay, I'm going to suggest
that perhaps it's time
460
00:22:50,244 --> 00:22:53,919
for you to abandon celibacy
a little early.
461
00:22:53,962 --> 00:22:55,101
What does that have to do with anything?
462
00:22:55,102 --> 00:22:57,892
Well, you're forming
inappropriately strong attachments
463
00:22:57,927 --> 00:22:59,825
to photographs of baby animals.
464
00:22:59,881 --> 00:23:01,299
Your libido
is being rerouted.
465
00:23:01,417 --> 00:23:03,371
You need to come back to the world.
466
00:23:03,430 --> 00:23:06,241
W... Wait a minute.
Inappropriate, my ass.
467
00:23:06,606 --> 00:23:09,661
Can I ask you: what is wrong
with everyone here?
468
00:23:09,696 --> 00:23:13,058
Uh, well, you had a falling out
with your best friend over a pig.
469
00:23:13,432 --> 00:23:15,010
Your perspective
is skewed.
470
00:23:15,085 --> 00:23:19,503
It's time to reconnect with
humanity, gain a little perspective.
471
00:23:20,451 --> 00:23:22,917
Okay. All right, so...
472
00:23:22,994 --> 00:23:26,817
if I have sex,
will you donate to save my pig?
473
00:23:28,132 --> 00:23:30,570
That's not really the point
I was trying to...
474
00:23:32,826 --> 00:23:35,229
We'll revisit the pig question.
475
00:23:35,647 --> 00:23:37,083
You can keep this.
476
00:23:37,475 --> 00:23:38,943
I have multiples.
477
00:23:45,726 --> 00:23:50,252
You think I killed my
husband, cut off his thumbs,
478
00:23:50,437 --> 00:23:52,954
and then dumped him over
the Savage River Dam?
479
00:23:53,012 --> 00:23:54,682
Thumbs and toes, yes.
480
00:23:54,808 --> 00:23:57,363
Oh, do you recognize this?
481
00:23:57,898 --> 00:24:00,297
It's the video those PECT
people put on the Internet.
482
00:24:00,348 --> 00:24:01,667
Right, it was taken
with your camera.
483
00:24:01,702 --> 00:24:03,633
You're making that up.
You can't possibly know that.
484
00:24:03,668 --> 00:24:06,964
No, we can prove that. Let's
start this all over again.
485
00:24:07,161 --> 00:24:12,853
Okay, did you take thisfootage?
Yes, I took it.
486
00:24:12,902 --> 00:24:16,773
Did you give it to Josh Parsons?
Yes, I wanted Clucksten's shut down.
487
00:24:16,808 --> 00:24:19,177
Why? I mean, your husband
is next in line
488
00:24:19,212 --> 00:24:20,268
to take over
the whole business.
489
00:24:20,303 --> 00:24:23,173
Because I was tired of getting
threatening phone calls.
490
00:24:23,207 --> 00:24:25,874
I was tired of being hated
in my own town.
491
00:24:25,948 --> 00:24:27,477
But most of all, Agent Booth,
492
00:24:27,538 --> 00:24:30,095
I wanted my husband
to get his real face back,
493
00:24:30,130 --> 00:24:32,519
so I gave the footage
to the activists.
494
00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:37,319
How is it possible that your
husband's thumbs ended up on the menu?
495
00:24:37,896 --> 00:24:40,160
Easy. Toss them in with the nuggets
496
00:24:40,195 --> 00:24:43,359
just before they're breaded,
fried, and frozen for shipment.
497
00:24:43,435 --> 00:24:47,934
Are you suggesting that the killer
was working in Clucksten Farms?
498
00:24:48,162 --> 00:24:50,929
You realize Clucksten's
is doomed after this?
499
00:24:50,964 --> 00:24:53,546
Yeah.
So you got exactly what you wanted.
500
00:24:54,130 --> 00:24:56,020
No, Agent Booth,
I did not.
501
00:24:56,055 --> 00:24:58,741
What I wanted was
my husband back.
502
00:24:59,644 --> 00:25:01,485
I understand.
503
00:25:04,005 --> 00:25:08,194
Is there anyone else who benefits
from Clucksten Farms going under?
504
00:25:09,443 --> 00:25:13,022
Probably the anti-smell people,
the people who live downwind.
505
00:25:13,077 --> 00:25:15,108
I need a name, that's all.
506
00:25:15,139 --> 00:25:18,104
The main clean air nut is Roy Meyers.
507
00:25:18,366 --> 00:25:22,561
He's a baker with a shop about
two miles downwind of Clucksten's.
508
00:25:31,644 --> 00:25:33,889
Hey, I got some more data
on the bone bruising.
509
00:25:33,942 --> 00:25:37,951
Hey, so I need
$1,500.
510
00:25:38,003 --> 00:25:40,367
I need about $40,000
to repay student loans.
511
00:25:40,444 --> 00:25:42,067
What do you need
your money for?
512
00:25:44,472 --> 00:25:48,486
I need to save this pig.
What, from being made into bacon?
513
00:25:48,571 --> 00:25:49,494
Yeah.
514
00:25:50,443 --> 00:25:52,005
I love bacon.
515
00:25:52,898 --> 00:25:54,349
I love ribs.
516
00:25:54,594 --> 00:25:58,294
I love steak. I love
meat. I'm a meat eater.
517
00:25:58,953 --> 00:26:00,816
I'm not apologetic about it.
518
00:26:01,426 --> 00:26:02,973
Look at his face.
519
00:26:09,309 --> 00:26:11,013
Look, Angela,
I'm sorry.
520
00:26:12,970 --> 00:26:17,813
Here's, uh... 20... 25...
521
00:26:19,086 --> 00:26:23,065
$45? Take it all.
522
00:26:24,206 --> 00:26:26,442
We'll save your pig.
523
00:26:54,222 --> 00:26:56,201
Roy Meyers?
Yes?
524
00:26:56,236 --> 00:26:58,839
FBI, Agent Booth. This here
is Dr. Temperance Brennan.
525
00:26:58,869 --> 00:27:00,850
We understand that
you're trying to get the state
526
00:27:00,913 --> 00:27:02,540
to shut down
Clucksten Farms?
527
00:27:02,635 --> 00:27:06,577
Sure, because nobody will come in
and make them regulate the stench.
528
00:27:06,671 --> 00:27:08,069
They were here first.
Well, yeah,
529
00:27:08,104 --> 00:27:10,665
back when it was a free-
range chicken ranch.
530
00:27:10,717 --> 00:27:13,523
It's a different beast
now- factory farm.
531
00:27:13,558 --> 00:27:15,997
"Heartless," reasonable people call it.
532
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:20,577
Uh, you'll excuse me. I took this up
as a way of getting some fresh air,
533
00:27:20,654 --> 00:27:22,608
as ironic as that sounds.
534
00:27:22,631 --> 00:27:24,851
Considering your malodorous
habit, would you say
535
00:27:24,892 --> 00:27:26,421
that your dispute
with Clucksten Farms
536
00:27:26,501 --> 00:27:29,604
is more financially motivated
than health-related?
537
00:27:29,639 --> 00:27:30,151
Sure.
538
00:27:30,186 --> 00:27:32,110
You know how a baker
sells his wares?
539
00:27:32,145 --> 00:27:33,902
Yeah, people smell the bread
from the outside,
540
00:27:33,937 --> 00:27:35,159
they go in,
and they spend the dough.
541
00:27:35,197 --> 00:27:37,904
Thanks to Clucksten Farms,
to smell my cinnamon buns,
542
00:27:37,981 --> 00:27:41,398
people got to jam their noses
right in the damn thing.
543
00:27:41,462 --> 00:27:43,888
Clucksten Farms is trying
to put you out of business.
544
00:27:44,136 --> 00:27:45,834
Can I take a look at that?
545
00:27:45,956 --> 00:27:49,676
Yeah, me and anybody who relies on
a sense of smell, sense of taste.
546
00:27:49,794 --> 00:27:51,109
Will your thumb
fit in this hole?
547
00:27:51,172 --> 00:27:53,821
Wait, don't be sticking that on my
thumb. It's like a mini-guillotine.
548
00:27:53,872 --> 00:27:55,583
Yeah, look, you want
to be careful with that.
549
00:27:55,618 --> 00:27:59,565
It's sharp as razors. That'll
nip your thumb off in a jiffy.
550
00:28:02,673 --> 00:28:07,785
What, some kind of federal crime
************
551
00:28:13,894 --> 00:28:16,250
The human eye
can only perceive color
552
00:28:16,328 --> 00:28:20,198
between wavelengths
of 400 and 750 nanometers.
553
00:28:20,276 --> 00:28:24,541
This full-spectrum light source simulates
both the visible and UV spectrum.
554
00:28:24,584 --> 00:28:26,305
Angela is brilliant.
555
00:28:27,154 --> 00:28:29,745
So we run the image
through the spectroscope
556
00:28:30,869 --> 00:28:32,866
and now we can detect
color differences
557
00:28:32,944 --> 00:28:34,372
that are not visible
to the human eye.
558
00:28:34,417 --> 00:28:36,826
I was able to confirm
these as postmortem bruises
559
00:28:36,884 --> 00:28:40,453
likely caused by rocks and debris
from the victim traveling downriver.
560
00:28:40,462 --> 00:28:42,663
Right, then we assigned
all postmortem bruising
561
00:28:42,724 --> 00:28:45,392
with one distinct color
and perimortem with another.
562
00:28:46,371 --> 00:28:49,722
Now, injuries sustained
before death will appear red
563
00:28:50,213 --> 00:28:52,816
and after death, black.
564
00:28:52,929 --> 00:28:54,543
Saves me hours and hours
of work.
565
00:28:54,589 --> 00:28:56,556
This is what happens
when two people
566
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,651
from different disciplines find
each other and work together closely.
567
00:29:03,332 --> 00:29:06,449
Can you highlight
the perimortem bruising?
568
00:29:09,751 --> 00:29:13,881
Evenly-spaced circular impact bruises to
the right temporal and sphenoid region,
569
00:29:13,909 --> 00:29:16,502
continuing here along
the frontal and parietal bones.
570
00:29:16,550 --> 00:29:19,955
All of them... have
identical directionality.
571
00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:21,961
What the hell would leave
marks like that?
572
00:29:22,008 --> 00:29:23,196
Some kind
of machine.
573
00:29:23,231 --> 00:29:25,301
And why do
they stop there?
574
00:29:25,336 --> 00:29:30,063
Something stopped the weapon from
striking down to the skull in this area.
575
00:29:30,108 --> 00:29:32,448
The microscopic metal deposits
on the clipped thumb bone
576
00:29:32,483 --> 00:29:34,332
don't match
the baker's cigar cutter,
577
00:29:34,554 --> 00:29:38,342
but fortunately I'm extremely
thorough and tenacious.
578
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,180
There's evidence of streaming
nuclei in the bone cells.
579
00:29:42,273 --> 00:29:44,427
That was my job to
find. It's okay, kid.
580
00:29:44,507 --> 00:29:46,925
Around here we step in
for each other as needed.
581
00:29:46,970 --> 00:29:47,955
What?
582
00:29:48,486 --> 00:29:49,410
Hmm?
583
00:29:49,531 --> 00:29:50,909
Oh, y- oh, you mean work.
584
00:29:50,964 --> 00:29:52,136
Yeah, what did you mean?
585
00:29:52,196 --> 00:29:54,475
Work- no, I'm, I'm,
I'm agreeing- it's work.
586
00:29:54,510 --> 00:29:57,272
Uh, can we move on?
So we have electricity?
587
00:29:57,332 --> 00:30:00,361
Who does?
The streaming nuclei suggests voltage.
588
00:30:00,482 --> 00:30:01,728
Oh, I know.
Uh,
589
00:30:01,763 --> 00:30:03,602
a self-cauterizing blade.
Yeah, there's got
590
00:30:03,637 --> 00:30:07,727
to be something like that in a place that
kills thousands of chickens every day.
591
00:30:07,845 --> 00:30:08,662
Here we go.
592
00:30:08,704 --> 00:30:10,436
Ah, this might
narrow things down.
593
00:30:10,513 --> 00:30:12,966
He had
beak and feather disease virus.
594
00:30:13,026 --> 00:30:15,216
He had beak and feather
disease in his thumb?
595
00:30:15,217 --> 00:30:16,692
I'm going to go out on a limb here
596
00:30:16,753 --> 00:30:19,035
and guess that maybe
what we're looking for is
597
00:30:19,070 --> 00:30:23,008
a self-cauterizing instrument
that cuts beaks and feathers.
598
00:30:23,776 --> 00:30:26,332
Wait a minute.
The video.
599
00:30:26,832 --> 00:30:29,017
Pluckers beat the
feathers off dead chickens
600
00:30:29,109 --> 00:30:32,232
and beak clippers clip the beaks
off of baby chicks.
601
00:30:34,229 --> 00:30:36,567
That's you,
right, Ms. McNamara?
602
00:30:37,773 --> 00:30:38,469
Yeah.
603
00:30:38,533 --> 00:30:41,092
Your occupation is beak clipper?
604
00:30:41,156 --> 00:30:43,259
Baby chicks are jammed
so close together,
605
00:30:43,463 --> 00:30:45,054
they get stressed,
attack each other.
606
00:30:45,086 --> 00:30:47,052
It's my job to cut the tips
off their beaks.
607
00:30:47,113 --> 00:30:48,845
Really isn't a
good job to have.
608
00:30:49,175 --> 00:30:51,022
I got demoted from plucker.
609
00:30:51,045 --> 00:30:53,012
Bet you didn't know there was
something worse than plucker.
610
00:30:53,063 --> 00:30:54,039
When you were
demoted,
611
00:30:54,103 --> 00:30:57,317
was that before or after you charged
Nick Rabin with sexual harassment?
612
00:30:57,352 --> 00:30:58,407
After.
613
00:30:59,179 --> 00:31:02,527
Go figure. Nick was a groper.
Never heard the guy coming.
614
00:31:02,590 --> 00:31:03,775
It got old real fast.
615
00:31:03,810 --> 00:31:06,946
How much training does it take
to run the beak-clipping machine?
616
00:31:07,037 --> 00:31:09,016
None. Just got to be the kind of person
617
00:31:09,069 --> 00:31:12,605
willing to cut the beaks
off of newborn chicks. Why?
618
00:31:12,656 --> 00:31:16,995
Because your machine was used to
remove Nick's thumbs and big toes.
619
00:31:17,057 --> 00:31:21,842
Hey, if I was gonna cut something off
of Nick Rabin, it would not be his thumb.
620
00:31:21,877 --> 00:31:23,421
Okay, what people usually do right now
621
00:31:23,464 --> 00:31:25,772
is they insist
that they didn't kill anyone.
622
00:31:25,866 --> 00:31:26,928
Well, maybe
I fantasized
623
00:31:26,959 --> 00:31:29,393
about it so many times,
it's like I actually did it.
624
00:31:29,428 --> 00:31:31,328
Do you know anything
about Nick Rabin's death
625
00:31:31,663 --> 00:31:34,354
or the mutilation of his body?
626
00:31:34,389 --> 00:31:35,465
No.
627
00:31:36,682 --> 00:31:38,939
But still,
if you could arrange it,
628
00:31:39,006 --> 00:31:42,458
I wouldn't mind getting away from
Clucksten's and spending a few days in jail.
629
00:31:47,207 --> 00:31:50,296
I don't need a professional
consultation,Sweets.
630
00:31:50,374 --> 00:31:52,896
Well, this is not that. It's
just a friendly conversation.
631
00:31:53,532 --> 00:31:54,969
Angela will
come around.
632
00:31:55,087 --> 00:31:55,930
I'm certain
that she will.
633
00:31:55,992 --> 00:31:59,952
Yeah, eventually Angela will see
the rational nature of my argument.
634
00:32:00,471 --> 00:32:02,207
She will come around.
635
00:32:02,547 --> 00:32:03,651
I already
said that.
636
00:32:03,717 --> 00:32:05,593
Hey, crazy thought-
637
00:32:05,788 --> 00:32:08,414
what if, this time, you were
the one who came around?
638
00:32:08,473 --> 00:32:12,045
Saving one pig is an irrational act.
639
00:32:12,123 --> 00:32:15,009
Are you suggesting that I point
that out to Angela more clearly?
640
00:32:15,072 --> 00:32:16,665
Because that would
make this conversation
641
00:32:16,741 --> 00:32:19,347
very much like
a professional consultation.
642
00:32:19,410 --> 00:32:23,546
No, I'm suggesting, in a very
friendly, conversational way,
643
00:32:23,606 --> 00:32:25,555
that you help her save
that one pig.
644
00:32:25,588 --> 00:32:27,271
But we agreed that
that's a meaningless act.
645
00:32:27,372 --> 00:32:30,319
Meaningless by your
definition, not by Angela's.
646
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,692
My definition is correct.
647
00:32:31,766 --> 00:32:33,625
Yes, and
if life were
648
00:32:33,703 --> 00:32:36,885
simply a debate,
you would win, hands down,
649
00:32:36,966 --> 00:32:40,051
but we know
that it isn't a debate.
650
00:32:40,129 --> 00:32:42,035
It's something much tougher.
651
00:32:43,562 --> 00:32:45,587
You know, our very work shows us that,
652
00:32:45,822 --> 00:32:48,397
that those people that call the world
653
00:32:48,491 --> 00:32:52,943
an abattoir- a slaughterhouse-
they have a point.
654
00:32:53,516 --> 00:32:57,063
Now, you handle that knowledge
by imposing this...
655
00:32:57,104 --> 00:33:00,618
gossamer web of rationality
656
00:33:01,023 --> 00:33:04,423
over the ugliness.
657
00:33:06,044 --> 00:33:08,691
Angela has a very different way
of handling.
658
00:33:11,042 --> 00:33:15,052
Sometimes you don't save
the world, Dr. Brennan.
659
00:33:18,529 --> 00:33:21,523
Sometimes you just make
your friend happy.
660
00:33:22,627 --> 00:33:25,641
But even when it's irrational?
661
00:33:32,082 --> 00:33:36,294
He is very, very cute.
662
00:33:36,357 --> 00:33:40,862
I mean, it's almost
like he's smiling.
663
00:33:46,497 --> 00:33:49,007
Wendell and I have been testing
chicken factory implements
664
00:33:49,085 --> 00:33:52,364
in order to find something that would
leave the symmetrical marks on the victim.
665
00:33:52,615 --> 00:33:53,945
Searching
for the murder weapon.
666
00:33:54,079 --> 00:33:54,847
Did you find it yet?
667
00:33:54,891 --> 00:33:56,717
Uh, no, but we have
the parameters.
668
00:33:56,752 --> 00:33:58,843
Mr. Bray, please assume
the position.
669
00:33:59,791 --> 00:34:02,111
The skull was struck
repeatedly.
670
00:34:02,224 --> 00:34:04,800
We need someone to actually
spin Wendell on the stool.
671
00:34:04,835 --> 00:34:07,074
Yeah, I don't twirl the interns.
672
00:34:07,308 --> 00:34:09,108
Perhaps Angela would do it.
673
00:34:10,264 --> 00:34:11,802
I'll-I'll do it.
674
00:34:13,288 --> 00:34:17,575
Okay, now, it appears as
if the victim was turning,
675
00:34:17,658 --> 00:34:19,715
and/or rolling.
676
00:34:19,872 --> 00:34:22,057
Someone rolled him?
That's how it appears.
677
00:34:22,150 --> 00:34:23,833
The directionality
indicates that.
678
00:34:23,907 --> 00:34:26,185
Um, can I- can I stop turning
while you guys discuss this?
679
00:34:26,266 --> 00:34:28,360
Not yet, dude. Now, what
we haven't determined
680
00:34:28,395 --> 00:34:31,078
is what he was rolled on
that would've done this.
681
00:34:31,079 --> 00:34:34,194
What if... what if the
victim wasn't spinning?
682
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,952
What if the weapon
was spinning?
683
00:34:37,033 --> 00:34:38,137
Oh, thank you, God.
684
00:34:39,355 --> 00:34:41,352
Okay, the bruises had
common directionality.
685
00:34:41,488 --> 00:34:44,595
It's likely the victim
was face down at an angle.
686
00:34:44,892 --> 00:34:50,711
If the implement striking the
victim's head was spinning...
687
00:34:55,590 --> 00:35:00,078
I... I know which piece of
equipment caused these bone bruises
688
00:35:00,113 --> 00:35:03,519
***************
689
00:35:10,218 --> 00:35:11,173
There I go.
690
00:35:11,755 --> 00:35:12,932
Look at that, huh?
691
00:35:14,243 --> 00:35:15,854
Hey, Bones, look at this, huh?
692
00:35:15,929 --> 00:35:18,405
We served a warrant
for your chicken plucker.
693
00:35:21,876 --> 00:35:23,562
Oh, we've got blood.
694
00:35:23,587 --> 00:35:24,519
Is that from the chickens?
695
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,707
No, the chickens are drained
by the time they get here.
696
00:35:26,742 --> 00:35:29,113
There'd barely be
any blood left.
697
00:35:33,797 --> 00:35:35,743
Whoa.
Okay, what's that?
698
00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:37,838
Well, if my theory
is correct, it'll turn
699
00:35:37,839 --> 00:35:40,735
out to be a fragment
of the victim's necktie.
700
00:35:41,258 --> 00:35:43,418
I'm going to need your tie
to test the theory.
701
00:35:43,496 --> 00:35:44,965
You mean the one that
I'm wearing right now?
702
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,434
This tie?
Uh-huh. Yeah.
703
00:35:46,599 --> 00:35:48,889
I'm not certain the
tie will be ruined.
704
00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:51,561
The Jeffersonian will
reimburse you if it is.
705
00:35:51,647 --> 00:35:54,055
Just a tie.
The murderer and the victim struggle,
706
00:35:54,121 --> 00:35:58,038
the victim's tie enters
the chicken plucker...
707
00:35:58,537 --> 00:36:00,597
That amount of force would definitely
708
00:36:00,624 --> 00:36:03,061
have wrung the victim's neck.
Uh-oh.
709
00:36:03,068 --> 00:36:04,715
What? My reasoning
is flawless.
710
00:36:04,979 --> 00:36:06,349
Uh, shut that off,
will you?
711
00:36:06,929 --> 00:36:09,198
Your theory suggests
that it was an accident.
712
00:36:09,303 --> 00:36:10,738
No, I disagree.
They fight.
713
00:36:10,967 --> 00:36:12,654
The tie gets caught
inadvertently.
714
00:36:12,778 --> 00:36:16,380
No, this pattern has a
missing component. Here.
715
00:36:16,430 --> 00:36:19,739
It suggests that something
blocked the strike.
716
00:36:19,849 --> 00:36:21,530
Obviously, the murderer's hand.
717
00:36:21,893 --> 00:36:24,324
Like this.
See?
718
00:36:24,381 --> 00:36:26,352
We should see
if any employee
719
00:36:26,384 --> 00:36:29,349
of Clucksten Farms was treated
for a broken hand.
720
00:36:31,906 --> 00:36:35,813
These fractures to your second and
third metacarpals in your left hand-
721
00:36:36,044 --> 00:36:38,314
they were caused
by being struck.
722
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:39,614
That had to smart.
723
00:36:39,691 --> 00:36:40,725
How do you have my X-rays?
724
00:36:40,766 --> 00:36:44,938
Oh, see, a judge decided that we
had reasonable cause for a warrant.
725
00:36:44,989 --> 00:36:47,403
So, why is it that the
head of security reaches
726
00:36:47,462 --> 00:36:50,720
into a moving chicken plucker?
727
00:36:55,341 --> 00:36:59,074
Eight years I worked at
that hellhole. You know why?
728
00:37:03,764 --> 00:37:04,932
Your wife?
729
00:37:04,967 --> 00:37:06,543
We were going
to have kids.
730
00:37:06,759 --> 00:37:10,617
Only, she got sick, because
she worked at Clucksten's.
731
00:37:11,751 --> 00:37:13,238
Did you have evidence of that?
732
00:37:13,283 --> 00:37:14,872
That's exactly what
Nick asked.
733
00:37:14,934 --> 00:37:18,294
But we moved to the next
county and she got better.
734
00:37:18,381 --> 00:37:20,787
That's evidence enough,
if you ask me.
735
00:37:20,822 --> 00:37:25,012
All I wanted from Nick
was a gas allowance.
736
00:37:25,047 --> 00:37:26,293
He said no?
737
00:37:26,791 --> 00:37:29,215
We shoved each other a bit, I guess.
738
00:37:29,288 --> 00:37:31,815
His tie got stuck in
the chicken plucker,
739
00:37:31,845 --> 00:37:33,768
and I reached in.
I tried to save him.
740
00:37:33,797 --> 00:37:35,629
And that's how
my hand got broke.
741
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,762
But you didn't
intend to kill him.
742
00:37:37,838 --> 00:37:40,604
No. God, no.
743
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:43,424
Right, right, no,
no, I understand.
744
00:37:43,812 --> 00:37:45,012
Booth.
745
00:37:45,047 --> 00:37:48,198
I know you trust your gut,
but it's wrong this time.
746
00:37:50,350 --> 00:37:53,021
The directionality of
these fractures shows
747
00:37:53,065 --> 00:37:57,089
that your hand was on Nick Rabin's
face as it went into the machine.
748
00:37:57,152 --> 00:38:00,054
You pushed him.
You killed him.
749
00:38:06,013 --> 00:38:09,508
I drive 68 miles to work
every day.
750
00:38:09,551 --> 00:38:12,878
And all I wanted was
a gas allowance.
751
00:38:14,423 --> 00:38:17,686
I work there eight years,
just a gas allowance
752
00:38:17,824 --> 00:38:22,416
so my wife can stay healthy.
753
00:38:59,498 --> 00:39:01,291
Would I like one of those
fruity drinks?
754
00:39:01,338 --> 00:39:02,620
No.
755
00:39:06,829 --> 00:39:09,545
You know, he fooled me,
he- he fooled me.
756
00:39:09,732 --> 00:39:14,820
I mean, I-I-I actually believed
he was trying to save the victim.
757
00:39:15,648 --> 00:39:17,471
He's a very good liar.
758
00:39:17,532 --> 00:39:20,420
Now, Bones, I could tell
when people are lying.
759
00:39:20,465 --> 00:39:22,806
I mean, I-I could tell
before my whole...
760
00:39:22,961 --> 00:39:25,477
recto-cerebral infracture.
761
00:39:26,207 --> 00:39:28,692
What?
That's not a real medical
762
00:39:28,727 --> 00:39:30,577
condition.
Are you sure?
763
00:39:30,602 --> 00:39:33,508
Because that's what I'm
feeling right now.
764
00:39:33,571 --> 00:39:36,067
If it were real,
it'd be pretty disgusting.
765
00:39:36,099 --> 00:39:38,987
Recto-cerebral...
I know, I'm losing it.
766
00:39:39,611 --> 00:39:42,965
Look, I just
- I'm not up to speed here.
767
00:39:43,523 --> 00:39:46,114
I woke up this morning and I
realized that I didn't even know
768
00:39:46,175 --> 00:39:48,433
if I like brown sugar
on my oatmeal.
769
00:39:48,468 --> 00:39:52,433
Well, next time call me. You
like brown sugar on everything.
770
00:39:52,511 --> 00:39:57,190
I'm the one who is supposed to
know when people are lying.
771
00:39:59,498 --> 00:40:01,777
Who do I call up for that?
772
00:40:02,057 --> 00:40:03,523
Sweets.
Sweets?
773
00:40:03,555 --> 00:40:06,385
You said he's like a human
lie detector test.
774
00:40:06,420 --> 00:40:10,137
I don't like things at half speed, okay?
I'm a full speed kind of a guy.
775
00:40:10,609 --> 00:40:14,645
Well, even at half speed, you're
twice as fast as anyone else.
776
00:40:16,818 --> 00:40:19,313
You want to see the fastest draw
in the west?
777
00:40:19,363 --> 00:40:21,348
Sure.
You want to see it again?
778
00:40:29,890 --> 00:40:33,311
Sweets thinks that I
should humor Angela.
779
00:40:33,342 --> 00:40:34,851
Sweets is a bright kid.
780
00:40:35,352 --> 00:40:37,286
But I want to know
what you think.
781
00:40:39,313 --> 00:40:43,213
As a full-grown man
of experience.
782
00:40:43,775 --> 00:40:45,931
I need to know what you think.
783
00:40:51,422 --> 00:40:54,313
I think you should let her
have this one.
784
00:40:56,351 --> 00:40:57,493
What are you doing?
785
00:40:57,723 --> 00:41:00,851
No, wait. Now? No, I
didn't mean this second.
786
00:41:03,266 --> 00:41:04,370
Excuse me.
787
00:41:04,890 --> 00:41:05,558
Okay...
788
00:41:06,837 --> 00:41:09,113
Hi. I want to help you...
789
00:41:15,196 --> 00:41:16,705
Thank you.
790
00:41:19,963 --> 00:41:21,431
It's everything.
791
00:41:21,466 --> 00:41:23,201
Hey, you got it.
That's great.
792
00:41:32,088 --> 00:41:35,312
Angela's very happy.
I can see that.
793
00:41:36,859 --> 00:41:39,182
You said that
in a funny way.
794
00:41:41,529 --> 00:41:43,534
You noticed something.
795
00:41:44,476 --> 00:41:45,899
See?
796
00:41:46,709 --> 00:41:48,980
You still got it...
797
00:41:51,714 --> 00:41:54,106
You're not going to ask me
what I saw?
798
00:41:55,772 --> 00:41:58,561
Do I want to know?
No.
799
00:42:01,387 --> 00:42:03,498
Do you want to know, anyway?
800
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,222
Nope. It can wait.
801
00:42:10,873 --> 00:42:13,234
I trust you.
802
00:42:13,235 --> 00:42:14,235
