Previously on Bones...
That's Aldo Clemens.
- Who's Aldo Clemens? - He was the chaplain
of Booth's army unit.
Anytime I needed anything,
Aldo was always there for me.
I'm sure that goes for the other men
in your unit, too.
-Sergeant. -Hey, Mike.
I wish it was for a different occasion.
- Me too. - Who killed him, Seeley?
I don't know, Dave, but I'm gonna find out.
Aldo Clemens was tortured
for an extended period of time.
He was fastened to the table
by duct tape, but he managed to loosen it.
He could raise his upper torso...
And sever his spinal cord.
It was a sacrifice.
You know that X-ray that we saw?
I'm the one who made that shot.
Bosnia, 1995.
The warlord?
Aldo knew that I was the shooter.
He killed himself
so he wouldn't have to give me up.
This is about revenge.
What should we do?
Just be ready.
Help!
He's still after me!
No, no, no! Help!
He's still coming!
Darla?
Talk to me. What is it this time?
Darla, are you all right?
All right, calm down.
It's never as bad as you think it is.
So your dad stepped out
to take a private call. What's the big deal?
It's not only that, Booth.
He looks different to me.
Healthier. That's good.
Maybe he's changing his ways.
No. At his age?
I do not believe that.
Come on, people can change later in life, Bones.
Actually, neurological studies show how difficult it is
for an elderly person to alter
their basal ganglia.
Basal... gangamaly? What are you talking about?
It's a part of the forebrain that is responsible
for routine behavior and deeply ingrained habits.
Good morning, everyone.
The, uh,
kiddos ready for drop-off?
They are.
Everything all right, Dad?
Absolutely.
Why wouldn't it be?
Well, you never go outside to take a call,
so why the sudden need for privacy?
Oh, I was just catching up with an old friend.
At 8:00 in the morning?
- Whoa! -00 a.m.
I... really. It's that late?
I should help the kiddos, you know, tie their shoes.
I-I'll help, too. No! Good luck with that.
Dad.
We need to talk.
Well, I guess I'm not going anywhere until we do, am I?
What's going on?
What do you mean, Tempe?
You know what I mean.
Your skin has a healthy pinkish flush.
And for the last few weeks you haven't once wheezed
while playing on the floor with the kids.
Well, thank you. I think.
What's wrong with feeling great? Nothing.
As long as you can provide me with a causal explanation.
Well, I have a right to keep certain things to myself.
Not when it comes to your health.
Okay, okay. A few months ago,
I had some issues, and I went to a cardiologist about it.
When were you planning on telling me this?
I-I couldn't find the time-- you're so busy--
so I just went ahead and I went in and I had it put in my chest,
and I feel... Excuse me.
I was... You-you had a pacemaker
embedded in your chest without telling us?
Yeah. And I feel great, too.
Dad!
Now I've upset you.
Yes! Of course I'm upset.
You had a significant procedure
done without telling me.
Hold on.
A body was found.
They're bringing it to the lab.
Don't-don't be angry with me.
You-you have to understand.
We'll talk about this later.
A jogger found the body in Fountainhead Regional Park.
I'll have Aubrey look into any missing person reports
in the area.
It looks like it's been there for a while,
judging from the decomposition
and the animal predation.
You know, I've been thinking about your dad.
Maybe you should give him a break.
Wha--? A break?
Absolutely not. He lied to me.
I'm an FBI agent. That was not a lie.
He lied by omission.
Why would you hide a significant medical issue
from your own daughter?
Well, 'cause he didn't want to worry you.
Well, I want to be worried.
What, you want to-- Why?
Because I want to be involved in his life.
At his age, I only have so much time with him.
I don't want to be in the dark about what he's going through.
Well, you know. He's lucky to have a daughter like you.
Well, he'll be a little less lucky if he continues
to withhold information about his health.
The obtuse angle of the mandible
indicates the victim was female.
And the texture of the hair suggests Asian descent.
Rounded eminence of the maxilla supports that.
The length of the femur indicates
her height was approximately five feet, three inches.
X-rays show osteophytic lipping
on the thoracic vertebrae, which indicates
the victim was probably in her mid-70s.
There's also evidence of osteoarthritic degeneration
on the humeral heads of the shoulders.
It must have been painful for her to move.
Based on the blowfly larvae,
she's been dead about a week.
Hey. What do we have here?
More hair?
Well, it looks like canine hair. I'm gonna examine
the medulla structures. See if I can narrow down the breed.
What did you find?
When the jogger fell on the body,
the impact must have lodged this object
in the infraglenoid tubercle of the scapula.
Can I see that?
It looks like jewelry.
Oh. I might be able to locate a make and vendor.
Oh. No need.
It's a limited edition Enchanted Hummingbird Brooch.
O-Okay. How did you know that?
You can get it from HSM.
Histological Stenotic Microanalysis?
More likely the Home Super Mall.
O-Okay. Hold on a second, now.
Our cosmopolitan, stylish Cam Saroyan
watches the Home Super Mall?
Well, I-I may have caught
bits and pieces while I was channel surfing.
I can barely get her away from HSM whenever it's on.
Oh!
No, no, no. Hey. Where are you going? No. Come on, Cam.
I have so many more questions for you now.
I'm sure there are more pressing things
to attend to, Dr. Hodgins,
and we will discuss this later, Dr. Vaziri.
"Dr. Vaziri."
I think you're in trouble.

== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man
So, I checked into the sales records
at the Home Super Mall.
2,108 people across the country bought this limited edition
Enchanted Hummingbird Brooch.
Any in the D.C. area?
83 individuals.
Okay. How many were elderly?
My guess would be all of them.
See that thing?
Right. And Angela said
that this woman matched a reconstruction.
Margaret Kwan of Rockville, Maryland.
Looks like we have our victim, yeah?
The X-rays show pronounced bone loss on both femurs.
Almost certainly due to Vitamin D deficiency.
Chances are, she didn't get much sunlight.
And what are you finding?
That you think it's appropriate
to share personal details about me with everyone here.
You have nothing to be ashamed of. You like to shop on TV.
And you enjoyed telling everyone about it.
Okay. A little.
Only because you're so professional.
I mean, if you weren't,
I would kiss you right now.
I might even grab your butt.
Don't you dare.
Okay, fine. I'll try not to.
But the struggle is real.
Well, I am flattered, and appalled
by your lack of professionalism.
Now, I'm finding adhesive capsulitis and tendinitis
on the victim's capsular ligament.
So the victim had a repetitive stress injury?
Yeah, but only on the right shoulder.
There's also bone spurs on the right hand.
Do you think they're related?
Well, it's just on one side of the body.
Maybe caused by an activity or a hobby
that favors one arm.
Something repetitive and detail-oriented.
Knitting?
Oh! That would do it.
So, an old shut-in who spent
most of her time knitting.
Who would want to kill such a woman?
So how long did Margaret live here?
And what's with all the boxes?
Beats me.
Don't you manage the building?
Yeah, only because my dad makes me.
I'm so out of here as soon as I find something better.
Attitude like that, you're gonna go far.
That's funny. My dad said the same thing.
Right. So, any idea
who might've wanted to hurt Margaret?
No. She kept to herself. Barely ever left.
Any friends or family come and visit?
That would mean I would have had to let them in.
I'll take that as a no.
Wow. Looks like Margaret
was preparing for the apocalypse.
She got everything delivered here, huh?
So, no photos of family or friends.
No visitors.
It looks like no one cared about her.
I'm finding antemortem comminuted fractures
on the phalanges and metatarsals of the feet.
These are impact fractures.
Note the radiating pattern.
They appear to have been caused by a heavy cylindrical object.
A hammer?
That would match the force profile.
I can see that the fractures
were made by multiple blows, inflicted
over an extended period of time.
Which suggests this woman was tortured.
The amount of remodeling indicates
the damage occurred a week prior to death.
I was examining tissue
from the victim's wrists and ankles
and found ligature marks.
They're at least two inches wide.
So she was strapped down before she was tortured?
Torture is usually is an attempt to extract information.
What information could Margaret possibly have?
I've been looking into Margaret Kwan's records,
and looks like her life was pretty quiet.
No husband, no children.
No contact with the outside world.
Everything points to her being a hermit.
Well, the killer targeted Margaret.
There's got to be something.
I'm sure that's true, I just,
I can't find links between her and anyone.
She barely used her cell phone.
Parking security cameras show that her car sat
for three and four weeks at a time.
That's consistent with what we found.
She even ordered her food online.
Apartment was filled with boxes.
That's it-- boxes.
I mean, look.
Someone delivered those boxes.
Whoever it was... may have seen something.
Most of the deliveries came
through National Parcel.
Those drivers have routes. Can you get a name?
Yeah. Uh, her shipping receipts show
that the packages were delivered by one employee.
Michael Reiss.
Wait a second, Michael L. Reiss?
Yeah. How did you know?
He served with me in my Ranger unit.
I just saw him at Aldo's funeral.
Wait, another guy in your unit?
We got to find Mike.
Uh, according to his work records,
he hasn't been there for a few weeks.
What about cell records?
That stopped about a week ago,
and no ATM withdrawals or credit card use, either.
Are we certain that Margaret and Aldo were killed
by the same person?
We are not certain of anything
until we can prove it.
Now, Aldo Clemens
was restrained with duct tape.
Let's compare the width of the ligature marks I found
on Margaret Kwan with Aldo's.
They seem to match.
But both of them were tortured in different ways.
That is correct.
However, the modus operandi are identical.
In each case, the torture was extensive and prolonged.
Well, fortunately, there aren't that many
people out there with an aptitude or a taste
for inflicting this amount of pain.
Finally got a breed
for those dog hairs I found
on Margaret Kwan's blouse: border collie.
Well, Booth said there was no evidence that she owned a pet.
It might have come from the killer.
How is Booth, by the way?
He is deeply concerned. Aldo's death was a blow to him,
and now Mike Reiss appears to be in danger.
There's a chip between the first and second mandibular molars.
It appears to be perimortem.
Presumably caused by the victim biting intensely
during her torture.
Oh, there's a faint blue stain.
Something came into contact with the teeth
long enough to leave residue.
I'll swab.
See if it leads us somewhere.
Wait... there's damage on the mandible.
General Josip Radik.
I do not like the way he's looking at me.
He was a war criminal. Guilty of ethnic cleansing.
That pretty much confirms it.
Look, my unit was the one who killed him in the '90s.
I was the one who took the shot.
Too many links to you, Seeley,
for this to not be about revenge.
The killer tried to get Booth's name out of Aldo.
Aldo wouldn't give it up.
I still don't understand what this has to do
with Margaret Kwan.
Mike was a Ranger, just like Aldo,
so the killer knew that torture wouldn't work.
Are you telling me this monster tortured an innocent old lady
in order to get Mike Reiss to give up your name?
That's the way Mike was. He was a good guy.
That was the killer's best shot.
I'm not taking any chances, Cher.
I'm putting you and your family
into the highest level of safe house.
Even I won't know where to find you.
Make sure that Max and the kids get there,
'cause I'm not giving up on this case.
Why did I know you would say that?
Booth.
We know how Margaret Kwan died.
We found corresponding nicks
on the gonial angles of the mandible.
The killer slit her throat.
He would only do that if he was finished torturing her.
Which means he got what he needed.
We have to assume he knows who you are, Booth.
Then I'll have to get to him first.
I think that I found something.
You know that weird blue stain on the victim's molars?
Hodgins says that it's calcium,
aloxite, silica, and cobalt chloride.
Chalk?
Well, it's a high-end billiard chalk
called Blue Lightning.
Well, Margaret Kwan was a shut-in, not a pool shark.
It must have been from the killer.
Well, I've been running a search for bars and pool halls
within the D.C. area that use this Blue Lightning.
I've found 37, so far.
Now, Hodgins said the killer had border collie hair on him.
Can you help us with that?
Yeah, I can run a search for dog licenses.
There was a license filed for a border collie
by a Javor Nicovic.
And the address is Eastland Bar.
One of the locations that uses Blue Lightning chalk.
Nicovic emigrated
from Serbia 20 years ago.
I'll tell Booth.
Give me high five, to the side,
the other side, down low-- ooh!
Too slow. I don't understand!
If there's somebody out there that is a threat to Booth,
please let me help.
It's more than a threat, Dad.
This is revenge for something Booth did years ago,
and Booth says that they won't be satisfied
until they kill him.
I have experience with this, Temperance. You need me.
I need to help Booth, and I-I can't do that
until I know my children are safe.
Well, they're-they're with an FBI agent.
That is not enough for me.
We're sending them to a safe house.
I want you there.
How am I gonna know if you're okay?
You're tying my hands behind my back.
Dad, I have never needed you more than I do now.
Please, do this for me.
Of course.
Javor Nicovic?
Yeah. How can I help you?
FBI, Special Agent Seeley Booth.
Special Agent James Aubrey.
Hey, I don't understand. What's this about?
Put your hands on the bar, please.
Ooh! Do a lot of damage with that, Javor.
Show me a bartender that doesn't keep a gun.
It's licensed.
Hey. Whoa.
Put your hands on the bar. Don't move.
Will you please tell me what this is about?
Yeah, Margaret Kwan. Never heard of her.
Yeah, well, she was murdered.
And our lab connected it to your bar.
Well, that's terrible,
but this is not a place for criminals.
This is a community place for my people.
You recognize that guy there?
Of course I do.
Everybody from Serbia knows about General Radik.
Those kind of people are why
we left Serbia.
Any of them ever show up here?
I told you, this place is not for criminals.
What, Booth?
Hand me that picture.
Who is this? You know him?
Mark Kovac. He was a good player
for our soccer team some 20 years ago.
Does he still come in here now?
Yeah, to play pool.
Hey. So, it's Mark Kovac.
He came to this country when he was eight
via a Red Cross refugee program.
I'm sure this is important.
How about you let me know why?
That is General Radik's son. This is our guy.
How do you know this?
I just know.
We need more than that, Cher.
Immigration papers, adoption records,
something that directly ties them together.
Look, I'm just saying, if something happens,
I want you to remember that name, Kovac.
I don't like the tone of your voice, Seeley.
It disquiets me. What's gonna happen?
I don't know what's gonna happen.
I'm just saying if something does...
this is our guy.
So, Mark Kovac is now 28, married, no children,
and works as an EMT.
That is a productive and honorable occupation.
Yeah, well, everything about him is pretty honorable.
He was a war hero, one of ours.
Two tours in Iraq as a medic.
Combat Infantryman Badge and a Bronze Star.
Is there any evidence showing
that Mark Kovac is General Radik's son?
I've been looking at birth records,
but it would have been right around the fall
of the Soviet Union, and government services
in that region were a mess.
That woman.
"Sasha Radik."
She would be Mark Kovac's mother.
I have an algorithm that can mix and match facial features,
so let me see if that'll work.
Please extrapolate the age backwards
to Mark Kovac's current age of 28.
Similar zygomatic processes.
Upward arching maxillas.
The width of the mandibles
are extremely similar.
Mark Kovac is almost certainly the product of the same parents.
Mark Kovac?
Special Agent Seeley Booth.
This here is Special Agent Aubrey from the FBI.
FBI?
Mark, what's this about?
Can we come in?
Uh, yeah.
Sure, I go to Eastland.
It's a chance to hear the language I heard as a child.
When was the last time you were there?
A few weeks ago.
Seems like you're pretty plugged into that community.
Absolutely. I'm-I'm very proud of my heritage.
I know you didn't ask, but I brought some coffee.
Uh, we're fine, thank you. We're okay.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't realize that was inappropriate.
Um, Mark, is everything okay?
Yeah, everything's fine. These men are just asking me
some questions about Eastland.
Do you mind telling me why?
Well, there was a murder connected to the bar.
Oh, my God, that's terrible.
Who was murdered?
What do you know about General Josip Radik?
Yeah, why are you asking me about him?
I-I know who Radik was, everybody from Serbia does.
- This is a murder investigation, Mark, - Yeah.
not really a good time to lie.
I don't understand. Lie about what?
Josip Radik was my biological father.
I thought you said you didn't know your biological father.
Look, I never said that. Mark, you said you were adopted.
I was adopted. I didn't lie about...
You didn't tell me that you knew your biological father?
Well, I was gonna tell you when the time was right.
When were you gonna tell me that?
Mrs. Kovac, please. Okay?
We're asking the questions here.
I don't broadcast
who my biological father was.
You can probably imagine why.
Why?
Tell her, Mark.
He was a war criminal.
Oh, my God. A war criminal?
Mark! Don't you think I should've known about that?!
I was six when he died. You still should've told me.
Okay, you guys can work that out later-- look, we're looking
for anyone who's connected to the general.
Look, I barely remember him.
I was taken out of Serbia by the Red Cross
and I was placed with a family here.
As far as I'm concerned,
those are my parents!
That man, Radik?
That man wasn't my father.
I'm so sorry.
Hey.
Cam, hey. So, I swabbed the wrist and ankle
skin samples you gave me.
Any luck figuring out what Margaret Kwan
was strapped down with?
Duct tape.
The kind you can buy anywhere.
Same that was used on Aldo Clemens.
Also, I found particulates
of a discontinued old talcum powder.
How do you know it was discontinued?
Well, because it used to have two percent asbestos
in its makeup.
Mm, yuck. Yeah.
And it's been banned for the past two decades
because of its link to cancer.
So, we should be looking for a place
that has old talc sitting around?
That, as well as resilite vinyl.
It's the stuff that they use to make wrestling mats.
So, maybe we should be
looking for old abandoned gyms.
Hold on a second. Cam, didn't the killer use
an abandoned recording studio for Aldo's murder?
Stop right...
Hold you fire, Aubrey, it's only little old me.
You still managed to scare the hell out of me.
Where's your partner? He's looking for Mike.
Tell him about what I'm showing you.
He'll understand. You only get one look.
And it never leaves my sight.
Okay.
Ooh, this is Mark Kovac's psych evaluations
from the military?
Strictly off-limits without a court order.
That would take days for me to obtain.
Have you read them?
If I had,
I would have seen
multiple assessments that say
Kovac had no disorders whatsoever.
Well, I don't understand, that just confirms what he told us.
He's completely clean.
Have you ever met anyone with no neuroses, no OCD,
no hint of anger issues?
I guess everybody's got something.
Especially a son of a war criminal
who saw his father killed
and then served in combat himself.
So he's got to be hiding something.
Or he's a complete psychopath.
One thing I know from
spending most of my life prosecuting murderers:
a man with no disorders whatsoever
is always hiding something.
Oh. Agents found another body in an abandoned gym
in Bethesda.
Booth's on his way, I better get there.
You're forgetting something, Cher.
Oh, right.
There was no I.D.
But based on height and weight, he matches the description.
Check his left arm.
Okay. Where?
Right below his shoulder.
"Sua Sponte." Latin.
"Of their own accord."
It's a Ranger motto. I was with Mike when he got it.
I'm sorry, Booth. This was bad.
This must have been where Margaret Kwan was tortured.
She was positioned right in Mike's sightline.
You okay?
No. Should I be?
No.
Okay. This is weird.
What?
Well, the body...
your friend.
The techs assumed, based on the way it looked,
he'd been here a while. He hasn't?
He's been dead an hour at most.
The maxillary sinuses have multiple scratches
that appear to have been made with a sharp, thin object.
How about an ice pick?
That would do the job.
Mike's nail beds are lacerated,
because the fingernails were torn from the phalanges.
Yeah.
Most likely with these.
I'm still seeing keratin residue
in the pliers' jaws. Wow.
This guy used every tool in the set.
And every region of the body.
The patellae show an extensive amount
of blunt force trauma.
That actually correlates to the hammer.
Yeah. The diameter of the hammer's head
suggests it was the same one used on Margaret Kwan.
The size of the fractures are identical.
However, the extent to which Mike Reiss was tortured
far exceeds what was done to Margaret Kwan.
Margaret's torture appears to have been an effort
to obtain information.
Once the killer had it, he quickly ended her life.
Troponin enzyme levels and elevated stress hormones
in Mike's blood
indicate he died of cardiac arrest.
So then, why keep torturing Mike
if he already told the killer everything he knew?
For the pleasure of it.
I'm aware Dr. Brennan considers
the field of psychology a-a soft science,
but do you guys happen to know
about the concept of the dark tetrad?
Yeah. It's the diagnosis of individuals
who share the same four sinister personality traits.
Narcissism, sadism,
Machiavellianism and psychopathy.
Well, our killer ticks every box.
I don't think Dr. Brennan would encourage us to analyze
this killer psychologically, but it's clear to me,
this person is certainly sick.
And dangerous.
Which means we have to find him before he finds Booth.
Hey. I need to talk to you.
I heard about Reiss. How's you partner taking it?
Blaming himself for not getting there sooner.
He can't take that on.
Reiss didn't have a chance.
Good luck telling him that.
Look, there's got to be something more
that we can bring Kovac in on.
You and I both know that he's behind this.
I bent the rules to get you those psych files.
Now you want more?
You FBI boys are cute, but not lose-my-job cute.
Well, then we've got a problem because we need more evidence
to get a warrant, but we're not getting a warrant
without some evidence here.
Yeah. It's a paradox.
Let me know when you've untangled it.
Caroline, come on. This guy is after Booth.
I get it.
But how am I gonna find a judge
who isn't going to demand probable cause?
Caroline, please.
My partner needs this.
I'll do what I can.
But no promises.
I've been working on the killer's communications
from that gym.
What communications?
He didn't leave any cell phones or laptops behind.
Well, I've been checking out Wi-Fi usage in the area.
There's no service in that abandoned gym,
but I did find 11 wireless routers in the vicinity.
And a computer that was piggybacking a signal
from this place,
Nancy's Cuts & Curls.
Are you sure it wasn't a customer in for a cut or a curl?
No.
This person had an agenda.
Look at what they were searching for.
Wait a second, what do you mean
you couldn't get a search warrant?
I went to three judges.
None would sign off.
You have no probable cause.
I am not waiting for Kovac to make the next move.
What do you propose, then? I don't know.
Bring him in on a parking ticket,
a house code violation,
a broken tail light if you have to.
Just bring him in.
If he gets a restraining order against you,
you're off the case
and there's nothing I can do.
I'll take my chances, okay?
Maybe you won't have to.
What the hell is he doing here?
Agent Booth.
I need your help.
I found evidence of electrolytes
and TPN in Mike Reiss's system.
Glucose, amino acids, lipids.
All components of a maintenance IV.
Mike was being kept alive to extend the torture.
Why did both of you come here to give me this information?
We wanted to see how you were.
Not well.
I find it difficult being separated from my children.
Well, no one would blame you for being with them.
This is not going to end
until we find evidence to stop Mark Kovac.
Usually,
you let the evidence lead you to the suspect.
How are you so sure it's Kovac?
Kovac is the son of a man Booth killed.
And he has paramedic training, which is consistent with the IV.
Normally,
you'd insist on a higher degree of evidence, Dr. Brennan.
These are not normal circumstances.
Okay, you do realize that I am recording this?
You have to say yes.
Yes.
All right, so why don't we start with why you're here.
Look, I know this is gonna sound nuts,
but I think somebody's trying
to pin both those murders on me. Wait a second, Mark.
We only talked about one murder,
and that was Margaret Kwan.
I saw the news that you found another body
at that abandoned gym in Bethesda.
That's... that's my wife's old listing.
Listing?
Jeannine's a commercial real estate agent.
Okay, so Radik was your father.
Now you're connected to a crime scene.
Yeah, it's worse than that.
That old recording studio where they found that body
around a month ago, that's Jeannine's, too.
Well, I'm assuming
that you wouldn't be here unless there
was some sort of explanation.
Somebody must be using Jeannine's old listings.
That doesn't wash with me, Mark.
Hey, this has nothing to do with me.
All right, you know what? You're giving me
no reason but to lock you up.
Please, Agent Booth.
I'm the victim here.
I need to talk to you.
Hey... I'm just trying to work things out.
Yeah, what is it?
There's been a shooting.
It was the safe house where we put Max and the kids,
but we don't know anything...
Where are they?
Come on! Wait... Hank!
- Come on! - Christine! Where are they?!
Booth, over here! There, there, there. They're over there.
Hank, Christine!
Come here, come here, you okay? What's going on, Daddy?
It's okay. All right.
Okay, everything's gonna be okay, all right?
Don't be scared. We-we're here, honey.
Where-Where's Grandpa? Bones.
Mommy, don't go.
Hold on, honey. I'll be right back. I promise.
Be right back.
Dad. Dad!
All right. I'm here.
Hey. I'll make sure you're okay.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Nothing that I haven't been through before.
How are the kids? The kids are fine.
Who did this to you, Max? Two guys.
We need to get him to the hospital now.
I'm coming with you. Oh, that... No, I'm fine.
No arguments. I'm coming with you.
He's got some bullets in him.
We stabilized the hemorrhaging, but...
Bones, go with him. Everything's gonna be fine, okay?
I'll make sure everything's okay back here.
Tom, what the hell happened?
Two gunmen ambushed the safe house.
How the hell'd they find it? It's a safe house.
We're working on it. That means you got nothing.
- I want to talk to all the shooters. - Both were killed.
So was Agent Chatterjee, stationed at the entrance.
They came through the side yard.
Blew the door with an RPG.
Wounds are tightly clustered. High intensity rounds.
They went right through her Kevlar vest.
These guys are well-trained.
They weren't expecting your father-in-law.
Okay, go ahead.
What happened, Austin?
They came through the yard,
tripped the sensors.
Max put the children in the basement.
Max came up on this guy's blind side.
Yeah, he saved my life.
Stood his ground and got off a full clip.
How much did the kids see?
Your father-in-law made sure they saw nothing.
He turned up the TV so they wouldn't hear anything,
and we took 'em out through the back.
Who are these guys? We pulled fingerprints.
Their names are Goran Milovic and Andre Belgrader.
Yeah, one of them, as he was bleeding out,
kept saying "majka."
Evidently it's Serbian.
For "mother."
Max is stable and going into surgery.
Ah, good. He's tough. He's gonna be okay.
Okay, so Milovic and Belgrader
were both Radik's bodyguards in Serbia.
I checked cybersecurity with both the DOJ and the FBI,
and there were no security breaches on either one of them.
Was it an inside man?
Unlikely. The team was picked by Booth.
Then they had to have been tracking the family.
Yeah, but how? Brennan made Max leave
his phone at the Jeffersonian.
And she wouldn't even let Christine take her iPad.
So there were no devices to track.
Wait, Brennan said that Max
recently had a pacemaker implanted.
Pacemakers send GPS signals to their doctors.
Max was a patient at the St. Francis Medical Center.
I can get on their server.
The pacemaker was the link.
But it looks like someone was still pinging it
for GPS information even after the bodyguards were shot dead.
So this isn't over.
Tell me those children are okay.
They will be.
And your father-in-law?
Getting surgery. Bones is at the hospital.
Seeley, we can't hold Kovac much longer.
I'm not gonna hold him anymore. I'm gonna take him down.
So, you used my father-in-law's
pacemaker to locate the safe house.
I came here for help. Why would I do that?
To see the look on my face
when they tell me my children are dead.
That's crazy. Really?
Because it says here that General Josip Radik
was shot at long range during his son's sixth birthday.
September 15,
1995.
I don't remember that.
I must have blocked that out.
Well, let me help remind you. There was a party.
There were a lot of people there.
It was fun. There was cake.
- The general's blood splattered all over - You can stop.
the boy who was celebrating....
You can stop!
That must've been a nightmare for you,
'cause you love your dad.
My father was a monster.
Yeah, but he was still
your dad, right?
Who are you?
I'm Mr. Kovac's lawyer.
I'll be with you in a moment. No.
My client will not answer any more questions until we talk.
Dr. Vaziri. I'm looking
I'm looking at Mike Reiss' bones,
and there's some unusual contusions
on the anterior surfaces of the sternal ribs.
The marks seem to form an oval pattern.
There's fracturing, yet there's no sign of impact.
It doesn't make any sense.
I concur that this is not an impact fracture.
What else could it be?
We know the killer administered an IV
to Mike Reiss to prolong torture.
Is it possible he had access to a defibrillator?
Of course!
Mark Kovac is a paramedic.
The bruise is an exact match for the shape
of a defibrillator paddle.
Dr. Brennan, your father's out of surgery.
Okay, um, Dr. Vaziri, I need you to call Booth.
Take a good look, Mark.
Crime techs did a sweep of your ambulance.
According to the report,
you cleaned your defibrillator pads
with accelerated hydrogen peroxide.
A good EMT always cleans his pads
before and after every shift.
You cleaned your machine, too.
As my client has explained, it is important to maintain
a sanitary environment.
Forgot your cord, Mark.
With all its nooks and crannies.
Turns out, when you shock someone with 800 volts,
saliva and sweat and God knows what gets tossed around.
Mike Reiss' DNA is in there.
My client did not...
I do not need a confession.
I got him.
You're done.
Did you kill my father, Agent Booth?
I ask the questions here. Let's go.
Tempe.
How you feeling, Dad?
Thirsty. That's from
the laryngeal airway tube that was used to intubate you.
The soreness will go away in a few days.
Christine and Hank?
They're fine.
At home, worried about their grandpa.
And Booth?
He has what he needs to put Mark Kovac away for good.
You mad at me?
Why would I be mad at you?
The pacemaker. I...
I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it.
No, I'm-I'm not mad.
But for future reference,
it's preferable to be informed
of any pending medical procedures.
I'll try.
I was just dreaming about you.
What was the dream?
You were a little girl.
And we were in the car, driving.
The whole family.
Your mom and Russ were with us.
The leaves were turning,
changing.
And it started to drizzle.
It was so quiet
you could hear the raindrops falling
on the windshield.
And you were in the back,
doing that thing you do
with my ear.
Rubbing your earlobes?
It always put me at ease when I was driving.
And all those years
I was gone...
...whenever I missed you,
I'd just think back
on the rides in the car.
Dad?
No, no, no.
No, no... Dad. No, no, no, no, no.
Okay, what do we got?
I-I can help you with this!
- Please, let us do our job, ma'am. - Dad, I'm right here!
I'm right here, Dad. Heartbeat's still dropping!
Defib-- let's charge!
