All language subtitles for Bones S08E01 The Future in the Past

I know this man.
He's Ethan Sawyer.

Pelant killed my friend.

The evidence is piling up
against Brennan.

This guy Pelant,
he's framing you.

I swear to God, if you touch her,
I will kill you.

I got to take
your gun and badge.

Rules are rules, cherie.

There's nothing I can do.

What if he shows up
at my house?

You got to make a run
for it, honey. Now.

Bones!

I'm gonna get my family back.
You tell Bones that.

This is Da-da.
This is Daddy.

Yeah, I bet the next
time you see him,

he'll have your
tree house finished.

Yep.

And this is all of us together.

Da-da!
- Yes!

Da-da.

Da-da.

That's right.

We're all packed,
sweetheart.

It's time to go.

You sure we have
to leave again?

Yeah, we've been here too long.

New place is quite close.

Give me that
little...

You want to go
with your grandpa?

Here we go.

Hello.

Do you really have to look
at these while you work?

Well, they inspire me.

Pelant framed her for murder.

If we can just figure out
how he put her in

the security footage,
we can clear her.

Do I really have
to explain that to you?

There's something in Sawyer's
triangle. If we can just...

You have been trying

to crack this code
for months, Angie.

Now, you got to focus on
something else, okay?

Look at Pelant's
library records again

or why Caroline's bank accounts
got hacked.

No, I'm telling you
this holds the key.

Maybe there's more
than one key.

Hey, come on.

Let's get you
something to eat, okay?

Those neurotransmitters of yours
aren't gonna fire

without your favorite
BLT from the diner.

I miss her.

We all do. Come on.

Seeley,
it's that time.

The answer is
always the same:

I haven't heard from her,
I have no idea where she is.

Are we done now?

We have to go through all
your phone calls, e-mails...

Maybe if you spent more time
looking into Pelant...

We can't,
you know that.

We have nothing on him.

You know what?
He was in my house.

I saw him on my security tapes.

Yeah, but when we looked at the
footage, somehow he was gone.

Well, he erased himself with
the computer. That's his thing.

I don't know
what I'm supposed to do

with all of your theories.

You're supposed to believe me.

Okay, I can't go through
all this again.

I'll find Pelant with
or without you.

The issue now is Dr. Brennan.
She's a fugitive.

Look, just come into my office.

Oh, look at that,
it's lunchtime.

Even us desk jockeys,

we gotta eat, right?

I'll get you
a sandwich.

Roast beef, right?

Uh, no, I got it. That's right,
tuna, extra mayo.

Seeley, don't do anything
stupid.

Hmm.

You had a question?

Ms. Montenegro.

Yes. Come in.

No. You can come out here
if you want to talk to me.

Just because this is
my office now

doesn't mean I stole it
from Dr. Brennan.

You could have
said no.

You could have worked from
one of the desks out here.

Okay, I'm not doing this.

I need your report from last
week's victim: Wallace, Brian.

I told you everything
I discovered.

And I need you to put it
in a binder

because we use binders now

so everyone has access
to the same information.

Brennan didn't use binders.
She could remember...

I am not Dr. Brennan.
I use binders.

And people like
my binders.

Is everything okay here?

He's wasting my time.
Unless you don't think

that breaking Pelant's code
is important.

Oh, come on. That's not
even the point!

Look, she won't
do any

of the written reports
for the binders.

Yeah, because if he can't do
the job like Brennan, then...

He's not Dr. Brennan, Angela.

And he is the resident forensic
anthropologist here.

You will respect him.

I don't believe this.

I mean, don't you care?

No, don't, don't go there.
Not with me.

We are all doing what we can
to get Dr. Brennan

cleared and back here.

But this lab has other work

to do as well.

Well, my first priority
is clearing Brennan.

So if you want to stay here
and use this facility

to decode Pelant's handiwork,

you'll cooperate
with Dr. Edison.

Don't do this.

I'll be fine.

Well, that's for
me to decide.

I have kept you safe
so far, have I not?

I have to, Dad.

It's the only way.
Tempe, please,

let's figure something else
out, all right? Please.

Just take care of Christine
until I get back.

Tempe...

Now I know the economy hasn't
been a friend to any of you,

and you all want
to find employment.

Mastering the spreadsheet
will give you a skill

you can apply
to many jobs.

Now place your cursor
on the top...

...top of the far left column.

I'd like to volunteer.

Mine isn't moving.

It's not working.

Uh, um, you just have
to left-click the mouse

when you get there.

Cool, boss.

Good job.

Special Agent Hayes Flynn,
please.

Maybe you can talk
to Seeley.

Pelant's threatening to file
charges for stalking.

Seeley isn't gonna
listen to anyone

until Pelant's locked up,
you know that.

You say this tip
was anonymous.

Was it a man
or a woman?

I'm not sure.
The voice was disguised.

The audio techs
are working on it now.

Well, why would...
Here you go, Doctor.

...why would anyone go

to the trouble
of disguising

their voice to
report a crime?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Then how come
every time

we guess Pelant,
you don't agree?

How long has your
team been here?

Ten minutes.

We found it like this.

The remains were uncovered
through keyhole excavation

and then through step-trenching.

Each layer has been revealed
and highlighted

by brushing, not digging.

- Very professional.
- Very.

Thus making it possible for
forensics experts, like us,

to pinpoint time of burial.

Who could do something
like this?

I know who taught me.

Dr. Brennan.

It's also possible

that these remains are
Dr. Brennan's

and that Pelant is playing
with us.

What is it?

It's a snowdrop.

This isn't Brennan.

She left this for us.

Hey, put together
a search team now.

Dr. Brennan's been here.
I want her brought in.

Now!

Galanthus nivalis
Galanthus blooms in winter,

before the vernal equinox,
signifying spring's approach.

It's a symbol of hope.

Okay... Meaning?

Well, isn't
it obvious?

It's obvious that
the high nasal bridge...

Brennan wants us to know
that solving this murder

will clear her name
so that she can come home.

Meaning Pelant killed
this woman?

High nasal bridge indicates
Caucasian.

Angela, how do you

get all that from a flower?

Uh, I didn't say anything
about a flower.

She won't tell me
anything either.

Sternal rib contour
puts age at between 35 and

39 years old, and this pelvic
inlet belongs to a woman

who has never
given birth.

Oh, it's just so wonderful
to have your attention.

I'd like you

to send everything we know
to Booth end of day today.

By messenger?

By e-mail.

By e-mail?
Yes.

Include the flower stuff.

Your express instructions
were to avoid e-mails

in any case involving Pelant.

There's no evidence that
Pelant is involved here.

And I think Booth should
have this news immediately.

Bones sent you
a message saying,

"Have hope". Okay, how?

I can't tell you.
Thanks for nothing, Ange.

Hey, why are you
so mad at me?

How are you communicating
with Bones?

I can't tell you
'cause she made me promise.

Bones has been missing
for three months.

You have been communicating
with her for three months.

I haven't.
You won't tell me how.

I haven't even told Hodgins.

Hodgins gets to go home
every night

with with the woman he loves
and gets

to see his child.
I don't.

I'm sorry.

Oh, wait a second.
Do you know anything

about this e-mail
from Clark?

Yeah. Cam made him send it
even though...

The remains match
the description

of a high school guidance
counselor Carole Morrisey

who went missing ten years ago.

I'll tell her
that you love her...

like I always do.

Great. Thanks,
but I'll tell her myself.

According to local
law enforcement,

they received an anonymous
phone call from an unknown man

directing officers to these
human remains just off

of a popular jogging trail.

See? Now that's exactly what

you wanted
to have happen.

There's Hodgins
and Angela and...

it looks like Clark is doing
a very good job, but...

I would like to see Booth
standing there with his pen

and index cards.

Well, you see Cam, right?
You know who she's talking to?

She's talking to Booth.

The citizens
of Pitt Meadows, Virginia--

quintessential
small town America--

are coming to the realization

that their town isn't
as safe as they thought.

Sheriff Frame has reportedly
asked for help from the FBI

and the forensic specialists at
the Jeffersonian Institution.

Reporting live in Pitt Meadows,
Elizabeth Howe, CNB News.

Saroyan.

Yeah, look, it's me.

You know that guidance counselor
you have on your slab?

Don't say it that way.
She used to be a person.

Well, her name is

Carole Morrisey.

Guess who went
to her high school?

Christopher Pelant.

That's right.

Do you think Pelant killed her?
Not at all.

Do you think Dr. Brennan thinks
he killed her?

Not in the least.

You're on your way there,
aren't you?

Nope.

You're lying in case
Flynn asks me any questions.

You know what,
I don't think anything.

I'm on my way to Atlantic City.

And after this conversation,
this phone goes dead.

Got it.

Okay. Okay.

I don't know where Booth is.

I don't think you're being
completely honest with me.

Then you have trust issues,
stemming from...

I don't know, a bunch of
psychological crap.

Something's going on.

There's a murder
in Pelant's hometown,

Booth heads off
to Atlantic City?

I'm sorry to hear
that Agent Booth

is still struggling
with his gambling addiction.

You hear from Booth,
you call me

within ten seconds.

Yeah, he won't call me.

Why not, you two
have a spat?

No, he doesn't
want me to lie to you.

Clever.

Everyone around here
is so damn clever.

Bones?

Booth.

I knew you'd come.

Wow, I can't believe`

how big she's gotten!
Look at her!

Huh? Man...

And you're okay?
She's okay, too, right?

Da-da.

We're better now.
Da-da.

Da-da? Did
you hear that?

She said "da-da."

Da-da!
Da da da da da da.

Well, I tell her
about you every day,

and she is quite brilliant.
Oh, yeah.

Of course, she takes
after her dad, huh?

Ha ha, the Da-da.

She said "da-da."

Going in, yes.

Da-da. Hee-hee.

Look at this!

Breakfast, huh?
Mm.

My father thought I was crazy
for uncovering that body,

but I just couldn't
live any more

without knowing when
this was going to end.

How'd you find the teacher?

Dad and I started looking into
Pelant's history growing up.

School records,

newspaper clippings.

That's when we found out

that his high school guidance
counselor disappeared.

No explanation,
just vanished.

She was a runner, so...

Ah, she was doing cross-country
training in the woods.

Exactly.

So I combed the area for weeks,

until I found some
discolored vegetation.

Yes, that's because
organic content decomposing

changes the appearance

of plant life.

Right?
Doesn't it, right?

Yes, it does.

Yes.
Oh, well, you know,

I missed you, so I was
reading some of your books.

They're thick.
They're really... they're heavy.

I only had time
to excavate the remains,

so all I have to examine
are these photographs.

But they're not enough.

Well, it's okay.

I mean, Cam's got
all the remains

back at the Jeffersonian.

They'll find out what happened.

Plus, they'll get all
the school records to Sweets.

No, I have to be the one
to examine the remains, Booth.

There has to be a way that...

Look, you don't think that
Pelant knows what's going on?

He'll expose you.

He's right, honey.

That's why I have to pack us up.

Already?

Well, Booth being here
changes everything.

I know.

There's staining to the
trabecular of the sternum.

There must have been
a lot of internal bleeding

for staining this deep.
Mm.

The trauma to the posterior
aspect of the skull

shows fracturing,

which reached a depth of
ten to 14 millimeters.

Which would have damaged
the cerebrocerebellum.

But wouldn't give us
cause of death.

An injury like this would impair
motor skills at the worst.

This fracturing looks
like it was made

while the victim
was moving away.

Please put your findings
into the binder.

So what we have here
is a deep initial blow,

and then a quick extraction,

which resulted in
tapering off to a mere

scraping of the bone.

Which would happen if

the victim was moving
away from her assailant.

So if we ID what
caused the fracturing,

then we can link it
to the killer.

I swabbed the skull injuries.

Yeah?

It was a rock.
Red agate.

What?
That doesn't make any sense.

I-If the rock was a weapon,

or if she fell on it,

it wouldn't have caused
this kind of wound track.

Sorry, but it was
definitely red agate.

Did you put your findings
into the binder?

Hodgins?

Okay, so Hodgins told me to
look at everything fresh.

Forget about the triangle.

And do we hate him
or love him for this?

We love him.

So, you got suspended

because Pelant made it look like
Brennan was paying you off

so you wouldn't
arrest her, right?

You're telling me this again
so you could rub it in?

No.

No, I'm tell you this

because I figured out
how Pelant did it.

I have proof

that your electronic signature
and Brennan's were forged.

You can prove Pelant did that?

No.

I can prove that it was done,

but I... I can't tie
it back to Pelant.

He used a parameterized
complexity,

which is this...

He covered his tracks.

But you can clear me.

Totally.

I'm gonna send this to

the computer forensics
team at the FBI.

Then I can get back on this case

and put that rank
little weasel in jail

for the rest of
his scrawny-ass life.

Do I sound bitter?

Oh, not nearly enough.

Well, I'm just warming up.

Hey, Bones, you got anything
off those pictures?

It looks like there are
nicks to C5 and C6,

but they could just be
anomalies on the image.

I-I have to examine the bones.

No, you can't do that.

Listen, Bones, we can't
keep going through this.

Well, I can't live
like this anymore.

Well, what kind of life

are we going to have
if they catch you

and throw you in jail
for the rest of your life?

I feel like I'm already there.
You're not, okay?

I'm here.
Christine is here.

That's all that matters
right now, all right?

Just take a look
at the photos.

One more time.

How'd you get them

to give me
the victim's case file?

I'm back on the case, cherie.

And that means you are, too.
So speak to me.

What did you find out about
the guidance counselor?

Okay.

In the year leading up
to her writing

his letter of recommendation
to Stanford,

Pelant was suspended
for hacking into

the school's computer system
to change a grade.

His college recommendation
makes him out to be a saint.

Well, Pelant always likes
looking like a saint. But...

When you analyze the idiolect
used in this letter...

Every one I talk to today is
trying to give me a headache.

The language patterns.

You know, linguistic
variations of the author.

They're like stylistic and
psychological fingerprints.

Thank you.
Okay.

So I went through some old
articles that Pelant wrote

for the school paper,
an essay he won an award for,

as well as some papers
that he wrote at Stanford.

They were all very clinical.

You know, determinedly
rationalistic,

clear and concise.
But...

when I did a multivariate
analysis on the other letters

of recommendation from
the guidance counselor,

I found far more descriptive

and modified linguistics.
Let me guess.

But not in the recommendation
she wrote for Pelant.

Pelant may be able to erase
what he wants digitally,

but he doesn't know how to
erase his writing style.

So he wrote
the recommendation himself,

and then killed her so he could
go to a school he wanted to?

Well, Stanford was the only
school he applied to.

Little toad liked
getting his way even then.

And this is the last
recommendation sent

before she disappeared.

So Clark should
re-examine these remains.

These nicks are not
from being buried.

These are cut marks.

Okay, well, maybe I can
help him determine

what kind of weapon was used.

Brennan's probably going crazy

not being able to get her
hands on these remains.

I'd like her to know
that we're making progress.

Um...

Do you think that
you could do me a favor?

You've been talking to her.

Uh... no, no.

I... um, I...

Honey, don't ask questions.

How have you been doing it?

I just need you to
put flowers someplace.

Is it a code?

I-I don't want to get into it.
Angie, come on.

You don't trust me?
It's not about that.

If... if I'm
the only one who knows,

then everybody else is clean.

You know it has to be that way.

Will you help?

Beautiful flowers,
Dr. Hodgins.

And ingenious.

You son of a bitch.

We're watching you.

We're getting closer.

And just know, if you
come near any of us,

if you threaten
any of us...

Sounds like you're
threatening me, Dr. Hodgins.

I am.

I will kill you.

Know that.

I read your FBI files.

The, uh, psychologist reports?

"While exhibiting anger and
hostility toward authority,

"Dr. Hodgins uses

"harmless conspiracy
theorizing as an outlet.

"Thoroughly prosocial
and empathetic,

Hodgins represents no threat."

Sorry.

Sorry, but... you're too
good a person, Dr. Hodgins.

You're not capable
of killing me.

People change.

Yeah, this is
an interesting fact:

you're gasping for air,

but see, it's not your lungs
that are crying out for oxygen.

It's your brain.

That's what's dying.

That brilliant
brain of yours.

Yeah...

You're getting weaker,
aren't you? Hmm?

A little dizzy.

I sound very far away, don't I?

That big brain of yours
isn't much help now, hmm?

Is it?

Pelant was there.

You admit to communicating
with a wanted murder suspect

using flowers.

Ms. Montenegro had no idea
with whom she was--

or was not-- in communication.

Pelant was there-- how
about we talk about that?

Did you interact
with him in any way?

No, I did not.
No matter what he says.

What's that supposed to mean?

Symbolic flowers are a pretty
limited form of communication.

Yeah, it was mostly
Brennan...

Or someone else.

...telling Booth
that she was okay.

Or somebody else.

Got it.

She was waiting for me
to tell her

that I had figured out
how Pelant framed her

for the murder of Ethan Sawyer.

Which I have not
been able to do, yet.

Well, I'll tell you
what you're gonna do.

You're gonna go to
the next grave on your list,

and you're gonna leave
a flower that says,

"Surrender yourself to the FBI."

I can't do that.
Then I will arrest you.

Oh, cut that out, now.
You will not.

I know what you're
trying to do, Agent Flynn.

Dr. Brennan isn't gonna
show up at the next drop

now that Pelant knows
this flower system.

Okay, cyber-boy,
this is the real world now.

I'm not gonna
lead you back to her.

But if you want to follow me,

I hope you like Mexican food,

because we're headed
for the border.

There's something nobody knows
that I'm going to tell you now.

I lied to Flynn;
I interacted with Pelant.

How?
I...

I choked him until
he was unconscious.

I was gonna kill him.

Until I remembered
that if I did that,

Brennan would never
be able to come home.

You choked a man
till he passed out?

A bad man who killed people.

You're hinting that if I'd
killed him, I'd be bad, too?

Hinting?

Sweets, I'm not
the interesting part of this.

Listen to me.

Pelant wanted me to kill him.

How could you tell?

I can't explain it, it just...

He was staring in
my face while I did it,

and what I read
there was, "Do it.

Do it."

So you're saying
Pelant is suicidal.

I am telling you that he was
happy that I wanted to kill him.

Okay? It just...

It seemed like
something you should know.

What I know is that you and
I need to discuss the fact

that you are capable of murder.

Not cold-blooded murder.

If it's true that Pelant
actually wanted you to kill him,

that's different from
being suicidal.

Which makes it extremely
valuable information.

There are fairly deep nicks
here, on the anterior

of the C5 and C6.

Her throat was slit?

Not really consistent
with a knife.

They're pretty deep.

I'll consult with
Angela, but, uh...

given the size of

Pelant at the age of 16,

the weapon is probably heavier.

Okay, the key will be

to tie Pelant to
the murder specifically.

You mean tie the weapon
to the murderer.

Dr. Brennan would have done
that better, too, I know.

I apologize.

For what?

For not realizing sooner

that what you're
working toward here,

to clear Dr. Brennan
and bring her home,

will most likely lead to
you losing your position here.

It definitely occurred to me.

Yet, what didn't occur to you
was to do a bad job.

I'll never forget that.

Five hours.

Yeah, we should
get out of here.

No, the arrangement was always

that if Dad wasn't back from
a pick-up in six hours,

Christine and I would
get the hell out of Dodge.

Max's term, I'm guessing.

At least Max has a good reason
for not coming back.

That doesn't make me
feel any better.

Oh, believe me, I know.

Oh, Booth.

I had to go.
You know why.

You understand.

I understand. Totally.

I didn't know what else to do.

I... it would never be my
first choice to cause you pain.

Look...

if he's not back
in an hour, we have to go.

You should've stolen
that car, Agent Booth.

Max, what are you doing?

I'm trying to
start your car.

What do you mean,
start my car? Why?

I saw Psycho Boy at
the graveyard today.

Tell me you didn't
try to kill him.

No, no, what,
in broad daylight?

With people everywhere? No.

Get out of the car.

Did you buy your car?

Yeah. With cash,
under a fake name.

Yeah, well,
it's traceable.

Mine is stolen.
It's untraceable.

You take that.

I will take this, and Mr. Pelant
will come after this one,

and I will kill him.

No, no, no, no, Max.
No, Max.

Just turn it off.
Bad idea, Max.

Max!

Yeah, Flynn, it's, uh... Booth.

Listen, I've tried talking
some sense into Brennan,

tried to bring her in.

Sure you did.

She's heading south
on State Road 47,

north of Cullen.

She's driving a, uh,
'86 blue Toyota Cressida

with Pennsylvania plates.

You're the second person to
call that car in as stolen.

Cam.

Cam.

Yes, Dr. Hodgins?

You need to leave.

I beg your pardon?

And take Clark with you.

And the security guards,

and everybody.

What about you?

I will be in my office,

getting caught up on
the white binders.

And seeing absolutely
nobody you shouldn't see.

I don't understand.

I am taking you to dinner,
we're gonna have drinks.

We actually may drink so much
that we're late in the morning.

Okay.

But are all the security guards
coming with us?

What's happening?

All good?
Yeah.

Okay.

Hey.

Hi.

All right.

Look, we don't have
a lot of time

before people figure
out you're here.

So you're sure you can do this?
Clark is very organized.

His binders are
quite a brilliant idea.

Is something wrong, Angela?
Yeah.

I...

I really missed you, so much.
That's great, okay.

Don't you have some kind of
computer code you have to crack?

All right, um...

This has all the information
the FBI needs

to track the incoming and outgoing
e-mails on our secure server.

Thanks.
Yeah.

We'll need to swab the injuries

on C5 and C6.
I'm on it.

Sweets! Finally.

Agent Booth.

I'm very uncomfortable
about this.

You know, as an FBI agent,

it's my sworn duty
to arrest Dr. Brennan.

It's so good to see you,
by the way.

It's been too long.

- You, too.
- Just give her a day.

Okay?

If she can't find the answer,
you can arrest her,

and me, for harboring a criminal.
Me, too.

Why do you want him here?

I needed someone I could trust
to protect you.

Hey!

Someone I knew who had a gun,
and knew how to use it.

Master-rated marksman, so...

Great, thanks, I gotta
get this to Flynn.

There are also injuries
from L5 to L3.

From his notes,
Dr. Edison posited an axe.

Well, if I find out
what it was made from,

maybe I can narrow down
what kind of axe.

Pelant has hacked
into secure e-mails

between the Jeffersonian
and the FBI.

That's a violation
of his parole.

Look, we can lock him up

while we're putting this
whole murder case against him.

First of all, Seeley,

I have no idea what any of this means.
Right.

We just get the computer
forensics guys to look at it.

Well, how about we get
your full statement first,

about where you disappeared to

and who you've been with?
Forget procedure.

Let's get this
to forensics, now.

As far as any government
agency is concerned,

Pelant is clean, Seeley.

If I go after him
with no cause...

How are you going to feel when
he walks away from this murder,

just like all the others?

Or better yet, how
are you going to feel

if next time he kills
someone you know?

Yeah. This is Flynn.

I need your best guy in the
fourth floor conference room, now.

So get his ass out of bed.

The desiccated cartilage
on the lateral femoral

and tibial condyles
indicate tearing.

So that's good.

Not for the victim.

Well... yeah.

Coupled with the torn cartilage

on the talus and
medial malleolus,

it means she was
hung upside down,

which also explains
the blood staining

on the inside of the sternum.

Okay, so you're saying
she was hung, gutted, and bled?

That is consistent with

both Dr. Saroyan's and Dr.
Edison's findings, as noted.

All right, so we're close.

This means I don't
have to arrest you.

Right?
Not close enough yet.

Dr. Hodgins?

I don't have the results yet.

No, I'm thinking
about the skull.

What was the trace
you found there?

It's red agate.
It's a rock found in Virginia.

Why aren't your findings
included in Dr. Edison's binder?

Really?

Oh. Sorry.

Yeah, it's all here.

Angie did a model of what the
agate would have looked like

to make the wound track.

Pelant snared the victim

while she was running
through the woods.

As she fell backward,
her head hit the rock.

The wound retracted because
she was being pulled up.

My God, we've missed you.

Now we just need
a murder weapon.

Excellent, Mr. Bobrick.

Now, uh, open up the spreadsheet
and input the new figures.

FBI.

Christopher Pelant,

you are under arrest
for violating

the federal computer fraud and
abuse statute 18 U.S.C. 1030.

Th-that's not true.

I haven't done anything.
You have.

Even a genius can
make a few mistakes.

That's too tight!

Not for me, it isn't.

Let's go.

8:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning,

this better be good.

They took Pelant
into custody

after hacking into
an FBI e-mail system,

so we have a little
room to breathe.

Well, I'll be damned.

Don't be so surprised.

You made Clark send that
e-mail to set up Pelant.

Oh, you and your
conspiracy theories.

Are you any closer to tying
the murder to Pelant?

I discovered some traces of
tamahagane in the bone.

It's a Japanese steel.

Hopefully it'll help Dr. B.

Who, of course, is not here.

Of course not.

Which is why you
can tell security

that they won't be needed on
a Sunday to check the lab,

because I'll be here
to look after things.

That is very generous of you.

Hey, I'm nothing
if not dedicated.

This gobbledygook is

your friend
Ethan's code,

and I cannot get
a line on this at all.

I'm sorry.

Ethan was extremely
schizophrenic when he wrote this.

We don't really know how much
reality he could grasp.

It's not gobbledygook.

How do you know?

Because Pelant wouldn't
have killed

Ethan Sawyer if that
didn't scare him in some way.

This triangle...

it's a scientist's effort
to distill, uh, human motivation

into a rational
construct, correct?

That's one way to put it.

There are three sides
to a triangle.

Your understanding of geometry
is not very advanced.

Well, I wasn't finished.

There are three sides
to Pelant: one, the base is his

constant rebirth into
innocence, you know,

the face that he shows
the world.

Okay.

Side number two
is his secret personae.

What does that mean?
The killer,

the secret murderer.

And side number three?

Hodgins provided me
with that yesterday.

Pelant wants one of us
to kill him.

All right, so right in the
dumper with that one, huh?

Why would you say that?

Her face went all blank.

No, blank is Angela's
thinking face.

It means leave her alone.
Oh.

Come on.
Sorry.

Dr. Edison was
extremely thorough.

Everyone hates entering notes
into those white binders.

I know the problem.

What problem?

With the weapon.
It's not an axe.

Even you can't tell that
in a glance, Dr. Brennan.

No, I can tell it
by looking

at the findings in
Dr. Edison's notebook.

You figured that the weapon
was a heavily weighted

object like an axe because
Pelant was small in high school.

In fact, he was heavy.

All the photos of Pelant
in the yearbook

show him
to be slight of stature.

Those are
all digital.

My father looked him up
an actual paper yearbook

and found that
Pelant never appeared.

Then how do you know
he was heavy?

A 200-pound person puts
approximately 600 pounds

of pressure on their knee joints
just by walking.

Even after the weight
is lost, there are lingering

symptoms of osteoarthritis
which affect gait,

carriage and posture.

Pelant was fat?

In the vernacular, yes.

The salient point is

that the weapon 16-year-old
Christopher Pelant used

to kill Carole Morrisey

weighed significantly
less than an axe.

Dr. Hodgins determined

that the weapon
was made of tamahagane;

the steel used in

the traditional Japanese
smelting process

used to make swords.

Pelant used a Japanese sword?

Dad had coffee with Pelant's
grandfather a couple of times.

He fought in World War II,

Pacific theater.
It was common

for soldiers to bring back
souvenirs from battle.

Caroline will get a warrant
to search the family home.

You got him.

Perhaps.

No, you got him.

if he were dead.

No, we're putting him away

Better him than me,

Booth picked this up,

so I have no idea
how good it is.

As long as it has
booze in it, I'll be fine.

Um, it's, uh, it's
not my house,

obviously, and it's
not my party,

but if I could just have
your attention for a second.

Um, I would like
you all to know

that I have officially
relinquished control

of the Major Crimes Unit to
my good friend Seeley Booth.

Yeah.

Whoa! I get my
office back now.

All right,
but I'm keeping the chair.

Mm, no chair.

Dude, come on,
let's keep it civil.

Seriously.
It's like lumbar nirvana.

We'll figure that out.

All right, anyway,
not that I have not enjoyed

working with you
squints, but, um,

I'm gonna take my chances
with domestic terrorism.

Uh, less prickly type of
personality over there.

That's not true.

He's being hyperbolic, I think.

Go ahead.
Go ahead.

I would like to announce that
Dr. Temperance Brennan

is no longer a suspect in the
murder of Ethan Sawyer

and can resume her rightful
place at the Jeffersonian.

Yeah.

Oh, I have an
announcement to make.

The Jeffersonian
actually needs

two forensic
anthropologists:

one to solve crime,
and the other

to pursue
serious archaeological work.

I hate crime...

and I love serious
archaeological work!

I love crime.

I've been angry

at Angela for the past

three months, and I...

Thanks for getting
my family back.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hey. How are you?

Hey, look at that!

Bones is back, right?

You still angry
with me?

No.

I did what I thought
was right for Christine.

I know.
You did the right thing.

If... if I told you
we were leaving,

you would have been
an accomplice.

We needed you here
to catch Pelant.

Bones, you don't have
to explain.

You did the right thing.
I understand.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry

for doing the right thing?

I'm sorry for how you must have
felt when I did the right thing.

Yeah, you know what?

I think I like you
better as a blonde.

Oh, no.

Mmm.

Get up here.

Hold on.

No, Booth.

Booth.

What?

What's going on?

If you can't behave yourself
then you're going

to have to turn around
because that is

a fully accredited
representative

of the Egyptian
government,

which I wasn't
certain still existed.

What did you mean when you said
Pelant is not Pelant?

That man is Bassam Alfayat.

No, that is most definitely
Christopher Pelant.

His physiognomy...

His fingerprints, DNA,

work history,
medical records,

everything identifies
him as Alfayat.

So does his official
history: left Egypt

age six, boarding school
in England, Canada,

then high school
and university here.

You're saying that he wiped out
his identity

and created a new one?

The Egyptians are taking him
home tonight.

There's nothing you can do?
Nothing.

Booth? Please?

If you hurt him,
you will lose your job.

Bones!

That's assault.
She assaulted me!

I'm a witness, if you want to
stay here and press charges.

Get him out of here.

If you're not gonna kiss her,

I just might have
to do it myself.

What kind of flower is that?

It's a marigold.

What's that mean?

"Pain and grief."

It means "Pain and grief."

Let's go.
