Previously on Bones:
Any big emotional change,
even good, can

trigger a relapse.
I don't understand-- he just

read your text.
He might have too

good of a hand.
He's an addict.

And you checked in
with your sponsor?

Why do I feel like
I'm being interrogated?

Listen, I need to put
$200 on the Cardinals.

Arastoo, what's going on?

It's my brother,
Hamid, in Iran.

He's sick. I have
to go back,

make sure he's getting
the best care.

You can't go back.
You were exiled.
This is not

your decision, Cam.

Arastoo's thinking
of going back to Iran.

Isn't that dangerous for him?
Yeah, very.

I booked a flight, Cam.

It leaves in a few hours.

*

(phone rings)

Yeah.

Yeah, I know. I'm looking
at the scores right now.

How much am I down?
15?

You sure about that?

Okay, look, you know that
I'm good for it, all right?

Just give me a break.
Booth, are you talking

to me?
No. Hey, look, I got to go.

I'll call you right back.
(clears throat)

Hi. Who were you talking to?
Oh,

stupid telemarketers.

I can tell by the
look on your face,

the Phillies
lost last night.
Yeah,

they had a bad outing.
Oof.

Hey, you know,
speaking

of sports, I have
a question for you.

It's somewhat bones-related.

Please.
I welcome all questions

about the skeletal system.
Right, okay.
So in baseball,

there's this surgery.
It's called Tommy John surgery.

You mean ulnar collateral
ligament reconstruction.

Some people say that, uh,
pitchers that come back

after having this surgery
are even better.

We're talking wicked fastball.

Wicked being good or wicked bad?

Wicked in baseball
is always good, Bones.

Wicked.

So... let's say this guy
who's had this surgery,

he's, uh, he's playing today.

According to
studies I've read,

successful recovery
is directly proportional

to time spent
in physical therapy.

Generally, a year
is recommended.

So let's say he's only,

I don't know, completed
eight months of therapy.

Statistically, it's unlikely

he will have a wicked outing.

Wicked! Ha-ha!

I'm telling you, it's so great
living with a genius.

You are very fortunate
to have me.

I'll get Christine
ready for preschool.
All right.

(clears throat)

Christine...

Yeah, it's me.

Listen, I gotta make a bet.

(phone ringing)

Arastoo.

I was hoping I'd hear from you.

What's all that noise?

Well, I'm just picking up
some ice cream for my brother.

I'm at this place,
Jasmine and Rose,

and I'm telling you,
they have the best

orange blossom ice cream
you've ever had.

Well, Hamid must be

feeling pretty well
if you're getting him ice cream.

The lab results just came back.

Not one glioblastoma.

So he's in full remission?
That's amazing.

It also means,
one week from today,

I will be coming home.

I am so happy.

For your brother, for you...

and for me,
because I've missed you so much.

Arastoo?
Are you still there?

Sorry, Cam, I got to go.
SAROYAN: Wait, why?

VAZIRI:
There's this guy...
I don't want to scare you,

but I think he's following me.

Have they dug up your record?

I have no record.
Officially.

Hold on, I think I can lose him.

SAROYAN:
Arastoo, are you there?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I don't know who that was,
but...

(grunting)

SAROYAN:
Arastoo?

Arastoo!

You.
Get Dr. Hodgins and Angela.

And call Agent Booth at the FBI.

Tell him I need him now!

(voices speaking Farsi)

I just spoke to Dr. Brennan.
She's on her way.

Have you been able
to talk to him yet?

Uh, no, not directly.

But whoever took Arastoo
doesn't know

that the line
is still connected,

so we can hear
what's happening.

Sort of.
Are you
recording this?

I started as soon as
he was taken.

(voices speaking Farsi)

Whoa, whoa.

That-that was Arastoo.
HODGINS:
Yeah.

He said something about a vase?

No, I think he said
"Valiasr Street."

It's a thoroughfare in Tehran.
AUBREY:
Do you have him?

Is the call still live?
Shh, shh, shh.

What are you doing here?
Where's Booth?

He's on with the NSA, the CIA,
whole alphabet soup--

anybody that's got
eyes and ears in Iran.

He'll be here as soon as he can.
Did you try

tracking him through
the GPS in his cell?

He's using a cell
he bought in Iran.

Angie, can you...
I'm good,

but hacking into

Iran's telecommunications
network?

(voices speaking Farsi)
Oh, God, what's happening?

(shouting in Farsi)

(call cuts off)

Mr. Vaziri,

I am Majid Namazi.

You're in Parliament.

I've seen your picture
in the paper.

Then you know
I am a man of influence.

A member of the Majlis.

What is this place?

And who
is this?

This is a surgical center
that is vacant.

So we won't be discovered.

NAMAZI:
Yes.

As for the remains,

that's why you are here.

I want to leave.

I am an American citizen.

I demand to be let go.
In this country,

you are still
an Iranian citizen.

And I have an edict

issued in 1997

charging you with crimes

against
national security.

I was 18 years old.

I wrote a-a poem about democracy

that was printed in some
underground magazine...

An act which
was considered

undermining
to the Islamic Republic.

But that edict

was never even issued.
Otherwise,

I never would have been allowed
to return to Iran.

An oversight.

One that I can correct,

which would land you
in prison for many years.

Unless...

an arrangement can be made.

What kind of arrangement?

I am told,
since fleeing to America,

you have become an expert
in forensic anthropology.

Please...

a demonstration.

Make me believe
that you are

as invaluable as I am told.

The victim is male.

Moderate to complete closure
of the endocranial sutures

suggests an age
of 25 to 30.

Furrows and punctures

to the left temporal
and zygomatic bone

indicates the body was scavenged

by a mid-sized carnivore.

The victim's dentition
is slightly worn,

evidence he likely grew up
in an urban environment.

Also, he suffers
from micrognathia,

a distinct genetic condition

which you also exhibit...

...leading me to conclude
the victim is your son.

His name is Darius.

He was my only son.

A good son.

Yet he ends up like this.

Didn't the authorities
investigate?

How did you steal his remains?

The only question
that concerns you

is what happened to my son.

If I don't get satisfaction,

I promise you will be tried
for your crimes.

Cam, listen, I swear
I am doing everything I can,

but the U.S. has
no diplomatic ties in Iran.

So, what, there's
nothing to be done?

Look, I called Danny over at
the CIA, okay? He's got all of

his contacts over there,
he's gonna call me

when he finds something out.

That's not good enough, Seeley.
I'm going over there myself.

You can't fly to Iran
by yourself.
Booth is right.

Obtaining a visa
could take at least 15 days.

But he could be dead by then.
You just have
to have patience...

Patient? Would you be patient if
it was Dr. Brennan over there?

Danny could probably get us

the paperwork
in a matter of hours.

I'm sorry. "Us"?

Well, I should go with her.
She can't go alone.

I have multiple contacts

from past archaeological digs

and I'm fluent in Farsi.

And you're pregnant.
You cannot fly to Iran.

He's right. I-I will be fine.
No.

'Cause I'm going with you.

No. I will be fine.

No. End of discussion, okay?

I'm gonna go with you.
I'll take care of this.

Danny, it's Booth.

Listen, uh, you know all those
favors that, uh, you owe me?

I gotta cash them in.

AUBREY:
Hey, I just heard from Booth.
He and Cam are in the air.

HODGINS:
So, all right,

Cam told us that Arastoo was
taken from this ice cream shop,

Jasmine and Rose.
AUBREY:
I just want to say,

the Persians make
a great pistachio.

It's creamy.

Not relevant.

Okay, uh, from the time
Arastoo was taken

until we lost contact,

it was just under
eight minutes.

Yeah, so he couldn't
have been taken too far.

Arastoo knew the phone
call was active.

So instead of asking
where they were going,

he mentioned
specific landmarks.

Yeah, like the, uh,
the Navab Safavi Highway here,

uh, Valiasr Street...

I pulled garbled sounds
from the background,

like, uh, passing trains
at Rah Ahan Square

or the protestors
at Azadi Tower.

That's amazing.
Yeah.

Now, we know
the car stopped here.

Taleghani Street.
MONTENEGRO:
So, now listen.

They took three flights
of stairs or 36 steps.

(footsteps)

The question is,
are they going up or down?

Up.

The footsteps
aren't loud,

which means they're using
the balls of their feet

rather than their heels,
which occurs on descending.

Wow. That's
very impressive.

I used to work surveillance.

Domestic
surveillance?

I was just starting
to like you.

Hey, whatever it takes
to keep you safe.

So what's three stories up
at that location?

Uh, it's a center
for plastic surgery.

Or it used to be.

It looks like it's closed now.

I am sweating, Seeley.

And it's not
because of the heat.

You're doing great, okay?

Everything's gonna
be fine, all right?

Danny said, uh, this
guy's gonna meet us

around the square somewhere.
Okay.

As-salaam alaikum, Mr. Booth.

Dr. Saroyan, I assume.

Welcome to the Islamic Republic.
All right, thanks.

Danny tells me you need a guide.
I am Hooshmand.

One name, like Beyoncé.

Great, how much you charge
for showing us the city?
No, no, no, no.

Danny pays me,
which is why he is my friend.

Please, huh? Follow me.

And Arastoo, is he's safe?
Oh, yes. He is very well.

He was taken by a very powerful
man here named Majid Namazi.

A member of the Parliament
here in Iran.

Mr. Namazi, this is
Agent Booth and Dr. Saroyan.

Please make yourself
comfortable.

These are two tickets
back to America.

The flight leaves
this afternoon.

If you are on it, there
will be no unpleasantness.

SAROYAN:
Wait, no!

I need to see Arastoo.

You said you can help us.
HOOSHMAND: I am.

Sometimes there is a limit
to what can be accomplished.

I'm keeping you safe.

BOOTH:
Whoa, whoa, wait, wait.

What if we can help you?

Help?
Yeah, help.

If Arastoo is
actually unharmed,

that means you need him alive.

You have a murder
that needs to be solved.

And if you brought him

to an abandoned surgical center
rather than a real morgue,

that means you're operating
outside the law.

It is unwise to threaten me.
This is not a threat.

This is an offer.
We're here to help you.

You already have one
forensic anthropologist.

I can offer you a great
coroner in Dr. Saroyan.

Yeah, and an entire Jeffersonian
forensic team.

And the FBI
in exchange for Arastoo

after we solve your murder.

Arastoo.

Cam. Booth.
What are you doing here?

Arastoo, I never thought
I'd see you again.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Stop! Stop! Stop!
Hey, hey!

Hands off her!
Hey, get your hands off of her!

NAMAZI:
They are not married.

If they kissed like that in the
public, they would be arrested.

You're in my country now.

You understand?

Now, do what you promised.

What's he talking about?
Booth made a deal.

We help and you get to go free.

The victim's name
is Darius Namazi.

He was 25 years old.

Looks like you already
started the autopsy.

Excellent work.

Should be. I learned
from watching you.

BOOTH: All right, look, what's
the official cause of death?

Officially the victim
died from a broken neck

after accidentally falling
down the stairs at his house.

Government tox screen indicated
he was drunk at time of death.

NAMAZI:
My son did not drink.

This wasn't an accident.

BOOTH: All right,
look, we need you

to hook up the video link
to the Jeffersonian, okay?

Can you do that now?

(speaking Farsi)

MONTENEGRO:
We were able to bypass all

the government
Internet filters.

Which means we should be
connected...

now.
Hey. Nice work.
Can you see us?

I-I see you, Booth.
Are you okay?

BOOTH:
Yeah, everyone's fine here.
SAROYAN: Hey, everyone, I know

we're 6,000 miles away,
but I want us to run this

like any other crime scene.

I'm sending you all the X-rays
and photos I have of the victim.

When and where were
the remains found?
Monday morning.

The housekeeper found him at the
base of the stairs at his place.

Hey, gang, in terms of insect
activity, we should be looking

at the same beetles
and blowflies that we have here.

Don't worry, we'll get
the bugs overnighted to you.

SAROYAN: Based solely
on lividity, I'd say that

the body was there four or five
days before being discovered.

Hold on, if the body was
found inside the house,

why does it look like a werewolf
was snacking on the remains?

BRENNAN:
Scavengers must've
gotten inside.

Some of the gnaw marks
are definitely from rats,

but there was
also a larger scavenger.

Well, because we're in Iran,
the most likely candidate would

be a jackal, so I'll need
you to swab to confirm.

BRENNAN: There are multiple
impact wounds bilaterally

to the radii and ulnas.

VAZIRI:
Also subperiosteal

bone bruising, consistent
with a fall down stairs.

Okay, what
about evidence of booze?

Uh, he was supposedly
drunk, right?

I ran tests on what was left
of the victim's throat.

Definitely alcohol.
Right, and since she hasn't

tested the liver yet,
it's possible that alcohol

was forced down his throat.

That's the only explanation.
That's the victim's father.

VAZIRI: The alcohol
itself is known

as Aragh Sagi;
it's a homemade brew

made out of fermented raisins.

Even though alcohol is illegal,

it's a common drink
among Iranian youth.

Mr. Vaziri,

the concomitant fracturing

to the left temporal!
Blunt force trauma.

Same as the other injuries.

The force profile is wrong.

Take a look
at the incisive edges

along the fracture lines.

So the victim was hit
before going down the stairs?

Which means he was murdered.

So you were right, Mr. Namazi.

This was not an accident.

I'll draw up
a report right away.

Everything you need so your
own team can build a case.

I believe we've done our part.

No.

All of you will
continue your work,

and you will find
who killed my son.

Until then... no one is leaving.

Cam, this is Officer Zamaani.

He's gonna be working
with us on the case.

Darius was my cousin.

This is the only reason
I am assisting

with an illegal investigation.

See here? these are all
the crime scene photos taken

the day the body was found.

SAROYAN:
There's clearly evidence

of scuff marks and blood spatter
all over the stairs.

Right, there's no forced entry.

I can see why they
ruled this an accident.

Thank you.
We are as thorough

and as professional
as you Americans.

Okay, what can you tell
us about Darius?

Darius was a good man.

He was smart, handsome.

My uncle was very proud of him.

Did you know that
he drank alcohol?

Unfortunately, many young
Iranians today drink.

Because of American movies.

You drink?

I do not disobey the law,
I enforce it.

Did Darius have
a girlfriend?

No. He was too busy.

He spent many hours at his job.

Darius worked
at the bank, right?
Yes.

His father placed him
in a very prestigious bank.

Wait a second.
This picture right here.

The doorknob.
Where does that door lead to?

What part of the house?
That was, uh,

Darius' home office.

What did they miss?
No. No, I assure you.

I checked that room myself.
No blood.

That right?
Take a look closer, huh?

Look at all the other
doorknobs here.

They got fingerprints on it.

This one here?
It's been wiped clean.

So the question is
what did the killer want

that was in that room?
That room

was Darius' office, right?
Yes.

Right, I'm gonna have
to go talk

to the people he worked with

at the bank.

NAMAZI:
Agent Booth,
this is Omid Turan.

The president of Eram Bank.
Also an old family friend.

Majid, do you understand
the danger you are

putting me in by getting
this American involved?
All right, look,

Mr. Turan, I'm not looking to
get anybody thrown in jail here.

That's why we're here
after hours.
People could think there is

a problem at the bank.

This is a very
proud institution.

I understand that,
but still Darius was murdered.

And we need your help.
Please, Omid.

Darius was a good worker.

He would put in 60, 70 hours

between Saturday and Thursday.

Did you see Darius
last Thursday?

On Thursday...

Darius and I talked
before he left for home.

I told him to leave
his concerns at the bank.

But he would worry
about his work.

What was he worried about?

There was a contractor.

Darius had denied him a loan
for a construction project.

Darius said the man
had threatened him.

Omid, why am I only

now hearing this?
I did not think

it was serious, but now...
Okay, look.

I'm gonna need
that contractor's file.

I'm also gonna need Darius', uh,

work computer
and all of his files.

CHRISTINE:
Mommy, what day

will Daddy be home?

Soon, I hope.
You always

tell me to be precise.

"Soon" is not precise.
I know,

sweetheart, but right now

"soon" is the best I can offer.
(doorbell rings)

Daddy?

W-Wait...

No, Christine, wait.

Oh, hello, there.

I thought you were my dad.

Really?
Uh, can I help you?

My name's Jimmy, and what was
your name, little girl?

I don't tell my name
to strangers.

I tell strangers that
my daddy works for the FBI.

Smart kid.

Yes. She takes after her mother.
Finish packing up

your backpack, sweetheart.
We're gonna leave in a minute.

I was hoping to speak
with your husband.

Why?
I'm here to collect on a debt.

$30,000.

I'm sure he'd like to settle
to avoid me coming around again.

If you send an invoice
for whatever it's f...

I thought you said
you were the smart one.

Are you talking
about a gambling debt?

Your husband lost big
on a double or nothing.

It happens.

It was on a baseball game,
wasn't it?

Two days ago.
Since it seems he's
avoiding his obligations,

he should know that his debt

could become your
responsibility.

You need to leave.

Leave this property now
or I'm calling the police.

This is my number.

Why don't you give me a call
as soon as you have the money?

Otherwise, I'm gonna
have to drop by again,

and you don't want
that kind of stress...

being pregnant and all.

MONTENEGRO:
The bone scans

Arastoo sent were perfect.

The replicas I'm printing
are exact duplicates.

Hey, sweetie,
where have you been?

I started printing out the bones

almost an hour ago.
I had to drop off
Christine at my dad's.

What, no day care today?
The reason she's
with my dad is not important.

Really? 'Cause the crazy,
worried expression on your face

is singing a whole
different tune.

We have a case to solve.

Unless you want Arastoo and Cam
to stay over there forever.

And Booth.

Right. And Booth.

Blunt force trauma

to the left temporal,

partially obscured by predation.

I entered the fracture pattern
into the computer.

Whatever hit the victim
was multifaceted

and definitely not
a common object

like a hammer
or a tire iron.
Also impact fractures

to the right and left ulna
and radius bones,

ribs and left clavicle.

Arastoo sent me a splinter
from the wound to the clavicle.

It's poplar, most likely
from the staircase in the house.

Which leads us to the last
and most horribly awful set

of injuries that Arastoo
noted in his report.

Half a dozen strikes
extending over the whole body

with some sort of V-shaped
blunt force instrument.

Yeah, Arastoo thought
the victim may have been beaten

by a metal two-by-four, the kind
used in framing a house.

Possible, but
at this point,

to name the weapon would
be pure supposition.

Maybe, but Booth's trying
to track down a suspect

who's a contractor.
And apparently,

the guy has a record
for almost beating a man

to death last year.

(door opens)

I don't know, is it me, or does
he just look guilty and scared?

Stand down.

Don't worry.

He's CIA?

No, no, no, no, no.
No, I'm not CIA.

You tell him I'm not CIA.

I'm here to ask him questions.

I'm doing things
by the law only.

He understands.

And he's ready
to cooperate.

Tell him that we know
that he threatened Darius,

that Darius' neighbors
saw his truck

at the house the
day of the murder.

He says he went
to visit Darius

in order to bribe him
but didn't meet.

I believe him, tell him that.

Tell him I believe him.

Tell him.

Okay, okay.

He says, uh, that
Darius argued

with a blonde-haired
foreign woman

who left his house
very angry.

Blonde, well, she would
definitely stand out.

Someone must have seen that.
All right, well, that's a start.

Do you want me
to ask him anything else?

No, I don't want you
to ask him anything else.

We're done here.

Hey, so Hodgins will
just be a second.

He's just going through
the evidence you overnighted.

How are you guys
holding up?

We're doing okay.

Uh, no, we're not.

It's crazy.

We're being watched
all the time.

So no time for summer
romance then?

Well, premarital sex
is punishable

by 100 lashes, so...
Lashes?

The Law of Hodoud
is rarely enforced.
And "rarely"

is good enough for you?
Look, I know you
blame me for coming

to Iran in the
first place.

And I'm sorry
it's come to this.

But if I hadn't come,
my brother would be dead.

No, I know,
I know. I just

want us to have
our life back.

We will.

And I'll risk a lash
to convince you.

(snaps)

Hey, hey, hey, stop.

Sorry.

Okay, we do have a murder.
VAZIRI: Right.

So I was combing over
the victim's clothing,

and I found several
blonde hairs.

Also there's traces
of vaginal fluid

transferred
onto his underwear.

Oh, okay, well, Dad's not
gonna be happy about that.

What about the phone?
VAZIRI: It was repaired.

We'll upload the memory
so you can have access.

Hey, so I know
what fed on the victim.

Canis familiaris.

A dog?
HODGINS: Specifically,
a dachshund.

A wiener dog ate
the victim?

HODGINS:
Yeah, two of them, actually--
they were bred for hunting,

so for them, the victim was a,
was a victory dinner.

Dogs in Iran are considered
ritually unclean.

They're rare, mostly
brought in by foreigners.

HODGINS:
Yeah, and from what I've read,

dogs need their own passports.

So we might be looking

for a blonde woman
with two wiener dogs.

I'll tell Booth.

(taps on door)

I was told not
to bother you,

but I thought
that you'd want to know.

The CIA and the FBI
are working on a plan B

to get Booth, Cam and
Arastoo out of Iran.

So you interrupted
my work on plan A

to tell me
there may be a plan B.

I'm sorry, I just wanted
to do something.

I didn't want to feel quite
as useless as I am right now.

I understand
how you feel.

So far the only thing I've
been able to determine is

the victim wasn't beaten
with a steel two-by-four.

So what was he
hit with?

I don't know.

I feel like the answer's
in front of me,

but, um, for
some reason,

I'm unable to focus.

Because you're worried
about Booth?

Yes.

But not because
he's in Iran.

You want me to elaborate.

Only if you want to.

Typically, when I have
a personal issue,

I turn to Angela
for advice,

but then you were
the one that said

that Booth shouldn't go
undercover to that poker game

because he's
an addict.

(sighs)

You said there would
be consequences.

So Booth is
gambling again?

A man came
by the house.

He gave me this card.

He said Booth
owed him $30,000.

And then he made
thinly veiled threats

to me and Christine.

Did you tell Booth
about any of this?

Not when he's in Iran.

Good.

Till he gets back,
I'll look into this Jimmy guy.

It's not your
problem, Aubrey.

It is if I can help.

Hey, now I don't
feel so useless.

I tracked her down through
the passports for her dogs,

both dachshunds.

Oksana Kozlov, blonde.

She's an executive for
a Russian oil company.

Well, I'm gonna
need those dogs.

There might be evidence
in them or on them.

She shipped them back
to Russia two days ago.

WOMAN: I demand to be told
what I am doing here.

Why are we not
at the police station?

You're here because we know your
little canine comrades snacked

on a murder victim
by the name of Darius Namazi.

We also have a witness who
saw you fight with Darius

the day he died.
Did you try
to leave the country?

It is not what you think.
Darius and I...

We were in love.
Really? Yeah?

Because Darius' family has
no idea who the hell you are.

Because he knew his father
would not approve of him

sleeping with a woman
who was not Iranian.

Are you saying he
disregarded religious law?

I am saying
he was a reformer.

How about the fight you had
the day he was killed?

It was after work.

I found him alone.

He had been drinking.

He was afraid.
When I tried

to get him to tell me
what was the matter,

Darius refused. Said
it was too dangerous.

But I wanted to help.

I demanded he tell me.

He yelled at me.

We fought.

And he told
me to leave.

That's the last
time I saw him.
No.

No, you lie!
Stop.

After you left, what happened?

Nothing, I didn't
hear from him,

so I came back to the house
on Monday to apologize.

That's when I found
Darius and the dogs.

It was terrible.

I shipped the dogs home so
they wouldn't be killed.

But Darius...

I loved him.

NAMAZI:
Agent Booth.

Sanjar.

Come.

I have reviewed
Vaziri's work so far.

The initial report was right.

My son was a drunk,
a fornicator.

He was a traitor to
his own government.

Even in death, he was eaten
by an unclean animal.

He was also murdered.

This investigation
is over.

You and your friends
are free to leave.

Guys, change of plans.

Pack up whatever you need,
I want to get out

of here in five,
let's go.

Wait, are you serious?
We can't just leave.

Wh-What about what Angela found
on the victim's phone?

We're so close to
catching the murderer.

What are you
talking about?

Angela recovered a text alert
from a security company

that was monitoring
your son's laptop.

The text said someone was trying
to access Darius' laptop.

And this was
after he was dead.

The killer must have stolen the
computer from his home office.

Right, and then wiped
the prints from the door.

Was Angela able
to track down who it was?

No. I'm not going to waste
any more time on this.
Why not?

Because your son drank?

Because he fell in love with
a woman you disapprove of?

I'm not surprised
you defend him.

In the eyes of Allah,
you're also a disgrace.

How dare you.

Cam.
No. I will not

let him say another word
against you.

You don't even
know Arastoo.

And yet you condemn him?

You don't see
what he does every day

to uphold the pillars
of your religion.

Prayers, fasting,

giving to the needy.

The only acts of defiance
he's ever committed

have been
in the name of love.

So I don't care
what you do to me,

I will not listen
to you judge him.

VAZIRI:
The Koran says,

"Allah is best aware of him
who strayeth from his way,

and he is best aware
of those who walk aright."

It's not for us to hold
ourselves above the Prophet.

Only God is allowed
to judge.

Our job is to show
compassion and mercy.

VAZIRI:
Mr. Namazi,

if you take away
the threat of imprisonment,

we promise we will see
this through.

Jimmy Kosinski.

Wow, I'm surprised
that you had the nerve

to use your actual name on
your business card there.

Well, I find it helps
so people know what to call me.

Okay, look, Jimmy, I just want
to be clear with you.

You stay away
from Booth and his family.

Agent Aubrey...

let me put forth
a hypothetical situation.

Suppose I were a bookie

and an FBI agent
owed me, say,

$30,000.

You'd have me just forget
about the debt?

I'd say you'd have to be
an idiot not to.

Hmm.

And what do you think
the FBI would do

if information
about this hypothetical debt

were made public? Say...

to a newspaper?

My guess is, the FBI

would immediately revoke the
agent's top secret clearance,

possibly even make an example
out of him and fire him.

You do realize that
you're talking about blackmail.

No, I'm talking
hypotheticals.

But when you think about it,

$30,000 really isn't that much.

Not when you consider
the alternatives.

Dr. Brennan,
this blunt force trauma injury

to the left temporal bone
is unlike any I've ever seen.

BRENNAN:
Yes.

Angela already ran
the fracture pattern

through the computer.

It doesn't correspond

to any commonly known
blunt force weapons.

Which means we
should look at

the crime scene photos
in case the victim was struck

with an uncommon item,
like a small statue

or some piece of furniture.

Nothing like that will correlate

to the injury in question.

But you haven't even
looked at the photos.

But I did closely examine

the fracture to the victim's
left proximal tibia.

It's an impact fracture.
So what?

It's the same as a dozen others

caused by the fall
down the stairs.

Except the other fractures
from the stairs

occurred mediolaterally.

This indirect fracture

was the result of
a pulled ligament.

Which would only happen
if the victim had been moved.

And if the victim was moved,

that means that
the victim's house

may not be the actual
scene of the crime.

MONTENEGRO:
Hey.

Where's Booth?

Did you track down whoever stole
the victim's laptop?

Yeah,

from the IP address

where this guy tried
to access the computer.

Uh, his name is Sanjar Zamaani.

That's the victim's cousin.

(doorbell buzzes)

Where's the laptop?
What?

I don't know what
you're talking about.
No, no.
I know you stole it.

You tried to access it
from here.

Get out!
How dare you accuse me?

(grunting)

Okay! Okay, I admit it.

I took the computer.

But I only did it
to protect him.

Protect him from who?

From my uncle, his father.

If he looked at Darius' laptop,

he would see the e-mails between
Darius and that Russian woman.

Russian woman? Get up here.

You knew about her
the whole time?

Yes, I knew everything.

Uh, the drinking, the woman,

even that Darius was on
the Internet advocating for

women's rights
and freedom of speech.

I knew how ashamed
my uncle would be.

I took the computer
so he would never find out.

What would your uncle do
if he found out?

NAMAZI:
Sanjar.

Agent Booth,

we need to get you out of here.

Someone has called
into the station

and told the general

about everything
you have been doing.

How much time?
One hour at most.

After that, you
and your friends

could be thrown in prison.

Are you into
the victim's computer?
Uh, yeah.

But the bad news is Booth
says we only have 15 minutes

before the police shut
this whole thing down.

Hey, what about
the cousin's claim

that Darius was working

to make Iran
a democracy?

Well, that seems to be true.

The computer was set up
to get around

all the government filters
so he can access Facebook,

Twitter, Tumblr.

The government's pretty strict,

so it's certainly a motive.

You know, his father is
part of the government.

Darius would have been
an embarrassment.

Wait a minute.

You think that
his father killed him?

I'm just saying...
Well, then,

why kidnap Arastoo
to help solve the crime?

Maybe he just wanted
to find out if there was

enough evidence
to tie him to the murder.

And as soon as they
started finding evidence,

he shut down the investigation.

Yeah.

Mr. Vaziri, take a look at

the V-shaped fracture
to the left tibia.

I've looked at him over and
over. What does it matter?

Because he was killed
on a staircase.

BOOTH:
Oh, come on, Bones,

even you said he was killed

and was brought
back to his own house

and pushed
down the stairs.

The fractures weren't caused
by a weapon.

They were caused
by falling against steps,

but not the rounded steps
at the victim's house.

These had
squared-off edges.

Wait, so he was killed
on one staircase,

then later pushed down a second?
It's the perfect way

for the killer to
cover up the crime.

Also, look at the angle
of each strike.

The victim didn't just
tumble down the stairs.

He rolled
in a curved trajectory.

So we're looking
for a grand staircase

like the one
in the victim's house.

But with steps made from
something harder than wood.

The bank where Darius worked!

The-the, the staircase
is made out of marble

there, it's curved.
Would that cause the injuries?

Well, yes. Yes.

I'll do the calculations

and send you
the measurements to match.

Hey. I was just watching
you guys in my office.

Did you say something
about "bank," Booth?

Because I just decrypted
something on Darius' computer.

Have you come across
someone named

Omid Turan?

That's the president
of the bank.

Uh, well,
he's also an embezzler.

Darius was compiling evidence
against him.

So Omid is our killer.
We got him.

He must be the one that called
the police and shut us down.

(pounding on door)
MAN:
Police!

(shouting in Farsi)

Police! (shouting in Farsi)

Oh, my God.

Booth.

(speaking Farsi)

Hooshmand, what are you
doing here?
My men and I

are here to protect
you from the police.

I told Danny I would keep
you safe, so I keep you safe.

Was it worth it?

We can finally
arrest a murderer.

Is that worth it? Huh?

Good,
let's go.

All right. Thank you.

SAROYAN:
This is easily the best tea
I have ever had.

VAZIRI:
The secret is rose petals.

They put a pinch in every cup.

Nice.

Well, I expect you to make this
for me every morning.

I will send you some.

So, Mr. Namazi, I have to ask,

uh, now that you know more
about your son,

do you still disapprove
of the life he was living?

Yes.

Because in the
eyes of Allah,

Darius was not a good Muslim.

I still mourn his loss

because...

...I loved my son.

I know this
trip was...

difficult,
to say the least, but...

if you allow me,

I would like
a chance to apologize

and show you my gratitude.

That's, uh...
really very kind of you,

but you see,
we have a plane to catch.

And I'm sure you understand that
we-we don't want to miss that,

so...

Hooshmand should
be here soon, so...

Actually, uh,
we'll meet you at the airport.

What, you want to risk
getting into more trouble?

No, we've got to say
good-bye to his brother.

HAMID:
I cannot believe
you are here in Tehran.

And you really came all the way
just for this fool?

Hey, be nice.
(laughs)

All I am saying--
I feel like she could do better.

SAROYAN:
Thanks.

I'll-I'll keep that in mind.

He did make sure I lived,

so maybe he's not

that big of a fool.

High praise.

Maybe the next time I see you,

it's in the United States.

Say, at a wedding.

I would like that.

Hamid, I'm sorry,
but we're gonna have to leave

if we're gonna make it
to the airport.

Then let's make sure
this moment lasts

until the next time, huh?

(phone rings)

Hello.

Hey, it's me.

Is everything okay?

Did you give Jimmy the money?

I'm meeting him
in a half an hour.

Listen, I wanted to let you know

that I talked
to Booth's ex-bookie,

Jason Samuels.

Does Booth owe him money,
as well?

No. Samuels said
that Booth called him

and tried to place a bet,

but Samuels refused to take it,

which is probably why
Booth turned to Jimmy.

The reason why Booth did

what he did
is not important to me.

All I care
is that the debt is paid

and that Christine
and I are safe.

All right.
Consider it done.

(door opens)
Oh, I have to go.
Booth is here.

Thank you, Aubrey.
BOOTH:
Hello?

Hi.
Hi.

It's... it's good to see you.

Oh, yeah, so good to see you.

Look at that.

Where's Christine?
She sleeping?

No.

I mean, I-I don't know.

She's with my dad.
Oh.

Well, that's good.
A little time for ourselves.

Stop.

First, I want
to say

how proud I am of you...

for helping
Arastoo and Cam

and your bravery

in confronting the authorities

in the Islamic Republic.

Everything okay, Bones?

No.

Before you left,
you asked me a question

about a surgical procedure
common to baseball players.

Um, okay, why-why are we
talking about baseball?

I just... I just got home.

Let's make a drink
or something.

I need to know
why you asked me

that question.
What? Come on.

Are you serious?
That was like a week ago.

Please, just answer
my question, Booth.

I don't know.

Just was, uh...

just wanted to have
a conversation, you know?

I was curious.

Are you gambling?

I need you
to tell me the truth.

Because without the truth,
we have nothing.

So, please... are you?

No, I'm not.

Jimmy, your bookie, came here.

I paid him
everything you owe.

Wait. Jimmy?

What-what do you mean?
You paid Jimmy?

I need you to leave.
No, no.

No, no. Look, I'm sorry.
What happened, it was just,

it was just a mistake,
all right?

Look, I made one bet.
That was it.
No, it wasn't!

Why are you
still lying?!
I'm not lying,
okay? Look...

All right, look,
I'm sorry, okay?

Let me fix this.
Bones, please.

Just... let me fix this, okay?
I'm sorry.

I-I messed up.

I-I wasn't thinking.
Just hear me out on this.

I'm sorry. Look at me.

Look, I love you.

I don't believe you.

Not now.

Go.
