BRENNAN:
I'm supposed to be on vacation,

you know, spending
time with Sully.

BOOTH: Oh, that's a good lesson
for Sully, then, huh?

Next time he actually
takes you away on vacation,

you should go away,
you know, leave town.

You had a vacation
and never left town.

That wasn't a vacation,
it was a suspension.

Plus compulsory therapy.

Hey, dude, don't
knock therapy, okay?

Dr. Wyatt has
helped me realize

that there are
certain pressures

that build up on the job
and I need creative ways...

We do everything together.

...of dealing with them.

Whoa, what exactly do
you have to contend with

on the job
that I don't?

[laughing] You, Bones, you
don't have to contend with you.

So we got a trunk.
Looks like it's been wrapped

with chains,

battered up pretty good,
most likely came through

the sluiceways upstream
in Maryland.

Is it locked?

Not anymore, it isn't.

Is there a body in there?

OFFICER: Sort of.

Beats the hell
out of me

what the deal is with this one.

The head looks flat,

as if the skull has been
totally pulverized.

Maybe she got run over
by a steamroller?

BOOTH:
Whoa, what are you saying?

She was killed
by Wile E. Coyote?

Okay, I want

the whole kip and canoodle
transported to the Jeffersonian.

-Kit and caboodle.
-Whatever.

Why don't we just
wrap this up fast,

so we can get you back
on your vacation?

Thank you, I'd
appreciate that.

You have got to be kidding.

What's with the tone?

You want me to take this face

and build a
skull for it?

-Can you do it?
-No.

ADDY: You're always taking
skulls and putting on faces.

Can't you simply reverse
the process?

No.

-Why not?
-Because I am a human being.

[sighing] She's missing
every bone in her body?

Her skeleton was removed.

Oh. All right, leaving
the third circle of Hell,

but before I go,

I think she's Asian.

Don't base that on skin tone.

She was boiled,
which is why

we can only get
partial fingerprints.

I'm not going off skin tone.

I'm going off her hair.

I have an idea
for the face--

I-If you can remove
the head

from the rest
of the skin sack.

Please, God, I am not
out of earshot yet.

SAROYAN:
The victim was boiled.

Then a number of incisions were
made from the top of the skull,

around her right ear
and down her right side.

Then from her left foot,

along the outside
of the body to her left hip.

-Someone with medical training?
-Definitely not.

An untrained hand,

but a very sharp instrument.

Boiled?

The entire skeletal
structure removed,

then the skin was sewn
back around the organs.

It doesn't fit
any kind of

ritual killing I've ever
heard or read about.

SAROYAN: The organs are damaged
due to the clumsy cutting,

but everything's there...
except the brain and the eyes.

Oh, God.

Must have been difficult to
remove all the smaller bones,

like the phalanges.

Well, it's all gone.
I didn't even find one bone.

HODGINS:
The algae in the trunk

is cyanobacteria called
microcystis aeruginosa.

The size of the...
scum colony indicates

eight days' submersion.

Dr. Brennan.

Have I offended you in some way?

Dr. Saroyan
said "no bones," so...

You know
what that means?

I'm back on vacation.

No bones, no Bones.

I was the second "bones."

That's very witty.

ADDY: Essentially,
all we have to do

is refill the empty head.

Like a balloon.

Which is literally
what we did.

Oh, no,
you did not.

Put a bladder
inside the head

and inflate it very slowly.

SAROYAN: This is...

It's...

absolutely...

-Brilliant?
-...useless.

You need the exact
shape of a skull

to get a likeness,
not just a--

This is...

Turn that off.

Oh, my God.

You guys are perverse.

SAROYAN:
Dr. Brennan was right.

Bone people should
only do bone things.

♪♪

Hello?

Hey!

Dr. Brennan.

Agent Sullivan,
I presume.

[laughs]

So what do you think?

I think
you're very dirty.

Ooh...

-You've got something.
-Oh.

Oh.

Uh... come on aboard.

Here. So I didn't think I'd
see you for a couple days.

Well, I know
it's strange,

but I'd actually rather spend
time with you than work.

Wow, I'm flattered.

So, um, you renting it?

Well, uh...

I'm thinking
about buying her.

Wow. Can you afford it?

Well, if I liquidate
everything

and borrow heavily,
not at all.

[chuckles]

So you'd...

you'd live on it?

Her.

You know, live on her.

But before I commit,

I want to spend the night
on her with you.

What would that prove?

Call it sexual feng shui.

[laughing] I don't think
that's a real thing.

If it doesn't work for us,
I don't want this boat.

Mm.

Wow.

Apparently, you do think
it's a real thing.

SAROYAN:
I can't find anything

on how to estimate the height
of a body without bones.

Does the skin stretch or
contract without a skeleton?

Uh, boiled leather immersed in
water would tend to stretch,

then contract as it dries.

Maybe the principle applies.

SAROYAN: I'm finding bruising
on the torso.

I'll subject the tissue
to reflectance spectroscopy

to get at a rough idea of when
the blows were sustained

and whether they were fatal.

Dr. Saroyan?

The face debacle taught me
a lesson.

I'm strictly a bone guy,
like Dr. Brennan.

Which is exactly why
I called for you, bone boy.

-A patella?
-Yes.

X-rays showed it was lodged in
the fatty tissue of the leg.

A bone.
Something we can work with.

It's just a kneecap, Zack.

Don't get too excited.

To you, it's just a kneecap.

To Dr. Brennan, it's the
best part of a human being.

Good to know.

[Brennan giggles]

[Brennan and Sully
moaning and kissing]

BOOTH: Hey.

[Brennan and Sully laughing]

Ahoy the boat?

SULLY: Booth?

Yeah, I need Bones.

Permission to come
aboard or what?

Hey, man, uh,
is this important?

Yeah, we got a bone.

Tell me about it.

It's from the boneless girl.

Uh, what kind of bone?

BRENNAN: Here and here.

Frontal spurring.

Mm-hmm.

-What's that mean?
-Zack?

A lot of time spent
on the knees.

Oh, so she's either
a nun or a prostitute.

No, tendon attachments

on the inside of the patella
also suggest squatting,

which is not
nun-like behavior.

You didn't need to
interrupt my vacation
for this, you know.

Well, you know, you said to call
if a bone showed up, and...

[clicks tongue]

...this is a bone.

The density of secondary
osteon structures

suggests the victim was
in her early 20s

at the time of her death.

See, Zack is capable.

You don't need me.

It's an interesting shape.

ADDY: Square
rather than triangular.

Classic nail-patella syndrome.

It's a genetic defect,
also known as Fong's Disease.

Fong's Disease, right.
What's that?

Angela said the victim's hair
suggested Asian.

BRENNAN:
Our victim may have grown up

in a non-industrialized
rural environment.

Well, early 20s,
Asian, rural area.

I'll-- I'll check
with Immigration.

Zack will do
an osteological profile

on the bone, see if we
can focus geographically,

while I get back on vacation.

Wow, Dr. Brennan
really likes that boat.

BOOTH: I thought you said
you couldn't make a face.

Well, did you hear
about Zack and Hodgins

and the balloon
in the head?

Ha. Was it as bad
as it sounds?

Yes.

The least I could do is
try to give her a face,

poor woman.

So...

a boat, hmm?

Oh, Sully?

Yeah, last month he wanted
to live in a tree house.

Mm, he's like me.

Yeah.

No, I don't see that.

Well, he's not really made
for all this murder and corpses

and empty eye
sockets crap.

He's a romantic.

-Unlike me?
-No.

You're a romantic
of a narrow kind.

You live to
catch bad guys.

Sully lives wide.

Hey, I got a hit

off the Homeland Security
database.

BOOTH: Li Ling Fan.

Yeah, she's here on
a Fiancée Visa from
mainland China.

BOOTH:
Yeah, well, the fingerprints--
it's a match.

Print this up for me.

Yeah, this is the victim.

Okay, I'll go, uh,
visit her fiancé tomorrow.

You know, I--
I live wide, too.

[laughs]

Far and wide.
All right?

There's nothing wider
than Seeley Booth.

Okay, then.

My bad.

Ling Fan is dead?

Are you certain?

When was the last time you saw
your wife, Mr. Harper?

Fan wasn't my wife.

Well...

she immigrated here
on a, um, Fiancée Visa

and you're listed
as the, uh, fiancé.

We called it off.

Mutual thing.

Well, you see,
I don't believe that.

I mean, a poor girl
from China travels

thousands of miles
away from her family

to be with the man
that she loves.

It's not like she has
many options.

So, uh, when was the last time
you saw her?

About a month ago.
How did she die?

Yeah, we're still, uh--
we're still looking into that.

Foul play, right?

I mean, the FBI
wouldn't be asking

so many questions
if it was an accident.

So you, uh,

so you get off
on all this, uh...

[chimes ring]

...Asian stuff, huh?

Martial arts?

Weapons?

I've dedicated my life to it.

She had some bruising,
your fiancée.

I don't know anything
about that.

These, uh, weapons here--

here, are they, uh,

-genuine?
-Knockoffs.

I can't afford the real thing.

Really?

Since when does
a fence

worry about affording things?

Details
like a criminal record,

they tend to, uh, come up

during a murder investigation.

Murder?

Homicide.

See, I've, uh,
dedicated

my life to it.

[sighs]

Whoa! Hey!

Oh! Ah!

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa!

[grunts]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

[thudding]

Hey!

BRENNAN: I've been on
Arab dhows about this size,

but I don't think I could
handle one all by myself.

This is a lot more
high tech than a dhow.

[sea gulls cawing]

Why-- Why didn't you ask me
to go out with you?

I'm a good sailor.

Well, you know,

I've got to be able
to handle her by myself.

I'd much rather have
a crew-- you, in fact--

but what if you got
conked on the head,

and ran off
with a pirate?

[chuckles]

Ahoy, the boat.

Oh, Booth...

Don't tell me.
You found another bone.

Well, I've got this Chinese book
that needs translating.

Maybe you, uh, got somebody

at the Jeffersonian
we could, uh, talk to?

No! I'm on vacation.

Well, he'll just
keep showing up.

Might as well pitch in
and get the case solved.

It's a ledger for buying
and selling weapons.

BOOTH:
Illegal weapons.

Hmm.

One entry
refers to this.

It's a Jian,

a double-edged sword.

A dergu...

This fellow's not Chinese,
correct?

How can you tell?

These characters are

labored, overly formal.

Professor Shi Jon Chen
is a highly-respected

cultural anthropologist
who specializes--

Yeah, he's one of you.
Yeah, I get it.

CHEN: You definitely
didn't get all the weapons.

Including this--
a Xing shuang.

A Flying Horse.

A very rare ornate dagger.

So, what do you think,
Jon Chen?

Well, obviously,
he has a fetishistic slant

towards all
things Asian.

A mail-order bride
would have been

a thing to him,
like these weapons.

What about the ritualistic
removal of the bones?

Could it be Minghun?

No. Definitely not.

What's that, huh?

It's an ancient belief
in rural China

that if a young,
unmarried male dies,

his family
should rebury

his bones with the bones
of a woman.

A-A bride for the afterlife.

SULLY: Like a bury-age,

or a marr-ial.
[laughs]

A deading?

[Booth and Sully laughing]

CHEN:
But I've never heard

of anyone committing murder
to get these bones.

Well, then, we should pursue
this avenue of investigation.

BRENNAN:
If you come across

a Minghun

in which the origin

of the bride's bones is unclear,

you let us know.

Of course.

All right, Sully, look,
I want you to look into buying

one of these ancient Chinese
weapons, Leaping Donkey?

-Flying Horse?
-Yeah. Whatever.

See if Harper surfaces
long enough

to, uh-- to make the sale.

Homeland Security says
the Fiancée Visa

was, uh, expedited
by a lawyer

on a retainer, and to
a smaller bride agency

here in town called
The Perfect Wife.

Well, that sounds archaic.

Well, you know, in therapy,
I learned that, uh,

superlatives like "perfect"
are, uh, meaningless.

Not in science.

A perfect number is a number
whose divisors add up to itself,

as in, one plus two
plus three equals six.

You know, in
therapy I learned

that definitive statements are
by their very nature wrong.

Isn't the statement,

"Definitive statements are
by their very nature wrong"

definitive,
and, thus, wrong?

You hate psychology.

You haven't said anything
to change my mind.

Look, you know,
this is exactly why, okay,

sometimes I-I do things like
shoot up an ice-cream truck.

Well, it's a good thing
you had therapy.

You know, we talked
about you in therapy.

You did?

Mm-hmm.

What did you say?

Well, you know,
since it was, uh, my therapy,

I don't have
to share the details.

Sorry.

BOOTH: So you specialize

in bringing brides
over from Russia,

Romania, China
and Thailand?

I've had over 500 marriages
since I opened shop.

I match the happy couple

using an empirical system

of reciprocal attributes.

BRENNAN:
You can't match

humans empirically
because

the variables number
in the tens of thousands.

I never recommend a match
with less than

200 points
of compatible commonality.

[laughs] Tens of thousands
is way more than 200.

Yeah, this is great.
Were Drew Harper and Miss Fan--

Miss Li.

In Chinese nomenclature,
the last name's first.

And the first name is last.

Great. Were they a good match?

Sadly, I'm sorry to say,

in the end, no.

They decided not to marry.

What-What happened
to Ms. Li after that?

On a Fiancée Visa,
the couple has 90 days to marry,

and if they don't,
the bride is required

to return to her country
of origin,

so, if Ling Fan is missing,

it's probably because
she went back home.

-Ms. Fan is--
-[Brennan clears throat]

Li Ling Fan is dead,
Miss Burrows.

She was beaten.

Drew Harper may
have killed her.

Did that possibility
show up in your 200 points?

[exhales heavily]

Um...

[papers shuffling]

This is my background check
on Drew Harper.

You'll find that my screening
process exceeds the minimums

[voice breaking]
set by the Marriage Broker Act.

Thank you, Ms. Burrows.

You-You can leave.

[whistles]

Well, Harper provided
a completely false background.

Is that possible?

Well, career criminal, fence.

I mean, yeah,
he could bring himself

a whole identity
based on false documents.

This is definitely
not a match made in heaven.

[clicks tongue]

I've been worming my way
into observing this ceremony

firsthand for two months
through the groom's family.

-That would be the dead groom?
-Yes.

Overtures are always made
by the groom's family.

Now, I hear they will pay
$25,000 dollars for a bride.

That would be the dead bride?

Booth, you're being
very judgmental.

I apologize.

I just
think it's a little...

CHEN: Apparently,

they've found a bride.

Well, who is she, or was she?

You know, because she's dead.

My sources don't know anything
about the bride.

Who got the $25,000?

Most likely the bride's family.

"Most likely"?

BRENNAN:
My understanding

is that before the Minghun,

the bones are spread
throughout the family members,

and then brought together
for the reburial ceremony?

-That's correct.
-If you could get me

a sample of one of the bones,

we could check the DNA,
see if it's Li Ling Fan.

BOOTH:
Do you know where any

of these bones are,
Professor Shi?

[sighs]

I might know where
maybe one bone is being kept.

If you could get me

to a place
where I could just look

at the bone,
your subjects

will never know I was there.

[sighs] All right,

but you'll have
to pretend to be

my girlfriend...

[Booth suppresses laugh]

...and her brother.

[laughs]
Yeah, right.

[woman speaking Mandarin]

What did she say?

Just hospitality stuff.

[speaking Mandarin]

BOOTH:
I don't need to speak
Chinese to get that.

She don't think
Bones is good for you.

You just made that up.

Nail on the head.

Ha!

[speaking Mandarin]

[speaking Mandarin]

[giggling]

She said your face
has character.

Yeah, well, all the, uh, older
ladies, they-they like me.

[whispering]
Bones, what are you
doing, Bones? Bones!

[woman speaking Mandarin]

These are traditional
storage pots.

Please, Dr. Brennan,
whatever you find,

you promised not
to disturb it.

No, I promised not
to disrupt your study. Ooh!

Whoa, what is this?
Is that human?

Yeah, it's an ilium--
part of the hip bone.

[whispers] What am I supposed
to do with this?

Dr. Brennan, quickly,
put it back!

[woman speaking Mandarin]

[speaking Mandarin]

[speaking Mandarin]

Did Bones just speak Chinese?

Definitely human.

No sign of any cut marks.

-Well, is it Li Ling Fan?
-No.

-It's male.
-So, what, you got

a part of the groom instead
of a piece of the bride?

Bones stole it.

Not stole, swapped.

From an old Chinese lady's
mantle.

BRENNAN:
I brought a bunch of

chimpanzee bones and

pulled the old, uh,
switchamacallit.

Switcharoo.

Whatchamacallit.

Two different things.

These anomalies...

whoever this was died of cancer.

I'll get Zack
to find the details,

but this is definitely not
Li Ling Fan.

-Maybe it's the groom.
-SAROYAN: Makes sense.

Especially if this is a dead
people bone marriage thing.

[knocking]

Uh, Temperance?

Hey.

Um, you got a sec?

Excuse me.

You bought the boat.

Finalized this morning.

Wait, sailboats
have keys?

Uh, no,
not-not really.

These are keys to the marina,
but, you know, it's symbolic.

Congratulations.

[both laugh]

So, I'm gonna tell you
something, and I-I want you

to think about it a while
before you answer.

Okay.

Well, you say okay,

but it takes you microseconds
to think things through,

so this time,
I'd-I'd appreciate it

if you, uh, just
took a breath,

because...
it's-- it's big.

Well...

what is it?

I'm headed south

in the boat to the Caribbean.

When?

When this case is done.

You quit the FBI?

No. No, not yet.

I'll take a couple of months
to get used to the boat--

you know,
really check it out--

and then I'll start
running charters,

probably for the Turks
and Caicos, which is--

You're-- You're
really talking a lot.

I know.

And I haven't even gotten
to the main part.

Which is, uh...

I really...

really want you
to come with me.

You do?

I do.

Look, take a sabbatical.

There's more to life
than-than corpses

and murderers.

You know, we do this job
for too long, we get warped.

I-I can feel it
happening already.

Maybe you can, too.

Let-- Let's run away together.

Well, you know,
think about it.

Want a hug?

Okay. No.

[chuckles]
That's--

that's a lot to process.

So, just, you know,
I don't know,

you know, let me know
when you think that maybe...

Okay.

Stage Three Sarcoma,
M-1 Metastasis.

Like Brennan said: Cancer.

Yes, most likely,
it spread from

prostate or testicular cancer.

So it's definitely a guy.

If this is the groom,
then he's Chinese,

and, according to Dr. Shi,

most likely related in some way

to the old lady
who kept him in a pot.

Which should be enough
to identify him

through hospital records.

None of Harper's weapons show

any sign of being used
to dissect a human being.

No protein residue,

even under ALS.

Is there any way to tell

what kind of blade
was used on the skin?

Only that it was sharp
and straight-edged.

But I did find evidence of

toxicity damage to the kidney.

Wait, the victim was poisoned?

I thought she was
beaten to death.

Well, the bruising could've been
a result of Fong's Disease.

Toxicology
identified the toxin

as a root called
Lei Gong Teng.

In small doses,
it's an anti-inflammatory.

In large,
it has another name.

Loosely translates as

"Walk seven steps and die."

I'll have Booth check out
Chinese herbalists.

Want me to bring you up to date?

No.

[chuckles]

I want you to tell me
what to do.

About what?

Sully wants me
to run off with him.

-Go.
-For a year.

Go.

He wants to run a charter boat
around the Caribbean.

Go.

He says I should
take a sabbatical.

Go.

What is the downside?

He's a great guy.

This is a
great idea.

I'll miss you guys.

Oh, we'll meet you in Barbados.

Look, you have been working
every day since I met you.

It's time to let another part
of yourself out into the sun,

with a bare-chested man
in a tropical breeze.

[chuckles]

ADDY: William Chang.

Single, age 27,
died two years ago

of metastasizing
prostate cancer.

Great nephew
of Mei Zhang.

He looks nice.

Booth will want
to talk to his parents,

try to find out where
they got the female bones,

in case it's Li Ling Fan.

Listen to me, Brennan.

Go.

There'll still be
murder and mayhem

when you get back.

CHEN: They're going to know
this information came from me.

You've ruined my study.

They won't know for sure
it was you.

Their son's bones are
spread all over the city.

They let me in on something

very precious to them
and now this.

I broke the first rule

of anthropology: minimize
your effect on the study.

Do you really believe
that your study

is more important
than catching a murderer?

You used to be dedicated

to a much larger,
timeless truth.

Now, you're just

a tool for those
who have smaller concerns.

[door opens]

[sighs]

[door closes]

So you buried your son William
three years ago.

My condolences.

We have, uh,
come into possession

of one of his bones.

You have no idea
how this happened?

Maybe you're planning on
reburying your son

with the bones
of a younger woman

to provide him

loving company
in the afterlife?

You see, we need to know

who this woman is,
because it's possible

that she's a murder victim.

You wouldn't want that,
would you?

[sighs]

Okay. Well, you give me
no choice

but to get an order
of exhumation.

Sully bought that boat.

[chuckles]
Yeah? Next thing you know,

he'll be shipwrecked on some
island talking to a volleyball.

He's leaving for
the Caribbean.

Really.

Look, I'm--

I'm sorry, Bones.

I-- I know that
the two of you

were kind of
hitting it off, and--

He wants me to go with him.

Oh.

Oh. Yeah, yeah.

He says I should take
a year off, a sabbatical.

-He says it would be fun.
-Yeah, it would be.

You just said he'd be
shipwrecked with a volleyball.

No, he's got you,
he doesn't need the volleyball.

You think I should go?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, what's one year
out of your life, huh?

You know, a person's
got to live wide.

This is kind of narrow.

-[loud thud]
-BOOTH: Whoa.

-That the coffin already?
-Can't be.

We're only
two feet down.

Oh, easy! Careful!

Is this fake money?

There's no body in this coffin.

There was a body in here,
but it was removed.

BOOTH:
What's with the fake money?

Chinese tradition.

Send a loved one off to
the afterlife well-funded,

at least symbolically.

How long ago was
the body removed?

This little darling is
Phaenicia sericata,

also known as
the common green bottle fly.

Now, William Chang was buried
in January, three years ago.

Since the green bottle fly

is only active in
the summer months,

I contend he was dug up
last July or August,

which allowed
maggots to be laid

in the casket to feast on--

Okay, yeah, I got it.

I can be a lot more specific.

No, no, you know--

dug up last summer and
distributed to the family--

specific enough for the FBI.

He would've
decomposed quickly.

Buried in a pine box,

improperly sealed,
buried only two feet

below the surface.

The Changs should
sue their mortuary.

Because of the
shallow burial?

Yeah, and the decomp seepage

into the fake money is,
um, au naturel.

What does that mean?

The body was not embalmed.

All right, none of this is
helping us solve the mystery

of what happened to
Li Ling Fan.

The funeral home was in on it.

They wanted the
body to decompose

as quickly as possible.

HODGINS:
Full service mortuary.

They perform funerals
and weddings for dead people.

Mortuary records show
that we buried William Chang

in a lead-lined casket.

If you found
another casket--

Pine box.
It was a pine box.

It is obvious that Mr. Chang
was dug up and reburied.

Who embalmed William Chang?

The records show that

my grandson and I
had that honor.

You're lying.

BOOTH: William Chang
was never embalmed.

JOSEPH:
But you yourself

said there was nothing

but fake money in the casket.

So how can you tell?

BRENNAN:
We can tell from the residue

left in the empty casket.

[speaking Chinese]

I'm sorry,
but we cannot help you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Mr. Han,

please, just...

sit down... please?
Just...

Here's what I think, okay?
I think that you have

some old Chinese
traditions alive

which are illegal
in this country.

The Minghun reburial ceremony.

BOOTH: Well, I'm not
concerned about it.

What I care about is
if the bride was murdered.

Murdered?

BRENNAN: Our understanding
is that Mr. Chang's family

paid $25,000 for her bones.

BOOTH: People have killed
for much less,

so what part of that, uh,
25 grand came to you?

Did the Changs admit
to paying that money?

No.

We found a cash withdrawal
that they can't explain.

But you are
not even certain that

William Chang's Minghun bride
is this murdered woman?

No, sir.

BRENNAN: But we can't know
for sure it isn't her

without looking at the bones.

If the bride were not
this murdered woman,

would you allow
the ceremony to proceed?

Grandfather...

[speaking Chinese]

What ceremony?

-[chimes tinkling]
-[man speaking Chinese]

BRENNAN: We're very sorry
to disturb you.

BOOTH: FBI.

I need to see the coffin.

Excuse me.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Take a look, Bones.
Take a look.

Okay.

Indications of cancer.

I believe this is William Chang.

Here's the chimpanzee
ilium that I left.

What about the girl?

Okay.

Lots of score marks
on the bones

congruent with flesh
being removed

from the skeleton
with blades.

I believe this is
Li Ling Fan.

BOOTH:
Where is everybody?

I guess we really
broke up the party, huh?

[wind whistling]

Positive I.D. on both
sets of remains:

William Chang
and Li Ling Fan.

Wow, they kind of go together.

SAROYAN:
Because they're deceased?

MONTENEGRO:
Yeah, but more than that,

they're exactly the same
level of hotness.

Which is zero,
because they're skeletons.

ADDY:
The cuts left on

the skeletal structure by
the removal of soft tissue

match the
implements the FBI

confiscated from the mortuary.

MONTENEGRO:
She was ill,

and he was ill.

It's really too bad
they never actually met.

The mortician's lawyer
advised him to clam up.

The Changs now say

the $25,000 was used
to pay off a family debt.

MONTENEGRO:
You ever think that

their spirits actually did meet

and are working to get
their bones together here,

on the physical plane?

You mean, like we're possessed

and doing their bidding?

[sighs]

You know what you people lack?

Whimsy.

It's a genuine handicap.

There are four morticians
working at that mortuary

and a half a dozen assistants.

Then any one of them
could have removed the bones

and sank the skin in the river.

Personally, I would
have cremated

the remaining skins
and organs.

No crematorium
at that mortuary.

I am gonna draw them
a wedding picture.

Okay.

Well, you do that, we...

should find out
who poisoned the victim

and arrest him for murder.

It's probably the, uh,

bouncing, flying
mail-order husband.

Does that count
as whimsy?

Well, you're
handicapped, Zack.

Someone really needs
to throw a telethon for you.

How did Sully find Harper
so quickly?

He didn't say.

You know, Sully's
a nice guy.

You sound condescending.

I'm just trying
to be nice, okay?

I'm complimenting the fact that
you got a good one this time.

Thereby implying I'm incapable
of making my own judgments.

The physicist
who couldn't tie his shoes...

Oh, the former professor

who was, uh, jealous of your
own success-- should I stop?

-Yes.
-Oh, the guy

that you found
on the Internet

ended up being some kind
of recruiter for a cult.

Oh, and this is my favorite:

the guy who cut off
his own brother's head

because he thought he was
possessed by a witch.

Yeah, you made your point.

Look, I'm just
saying a guy

who wants to take you away
from all this on a sailboat,

that's a step up.

Condescending.

That's our guy.

Okay, so when do
we take him off?

Down.

We take him down
when Sully puts his cap

in his back pocket.

Now.

BOOTH: Freeze!

Freeze! Harper!

Geez, I told you
he was fast.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah.

BOOTH: Okay, great, fine.
Sully,

you chase him,
I'll head him off, okay?

Okay, okay, okay.

-Have you thought
about my offer?
-Yes.

What do you think?

This is not
the time to discuss it.

SULLY:
The guy must be on meth!

BRENNAN:
Martial arts.

FBI! Freeze right there!

I said freeze, freeze!

Dammit!

What, is he on wires?

[groans]

[moaning]

He ain't bouncing around
anymore, now, is he?

See that?

I did not kill Ling Fan.

Then why'd you keep
running away, huh?

I'm a criminal!
You're police.

Ling Fan didn't really
know anyone.

That makes you a good suspect.

Sell her bones for $25,000.

Make up for the loss.

What loss?

You paid $25,000

to the Perfect Wife agency
to bring her over;

probably another eight grand
for the round-trip ticket.

That's a lot of knife sales.

You people got it
completely wrong.

Chick doesn't work out,
you get a full refund

or a swap.

I took the money-back guarantee.

Really?

-Oops.
-I didn't lose a cent.

It's the mail-order agency
that's out all that dough.

What was wrong with her?

What?

Why did you send Ling Fan back?

Chick was defective, man.

I'm a very active person.

She moved slow,
like an old lady.

You hit me
with the Flying Horse?

Yeah.

That is a very
good item.

Maybe you still want to buy it?

I'm gonna need bail money.

So, you want to know
what your first mistake was?

Thinking you wouldn't
find out about the refund?

No, your first mistake
was killing Ling Fan.

And your second mistake was

keeping the poison
that you used

in your refrigerator.

Third mistake was thinking
that, once we had you,

that the grandson
at the mortuary, Nelson Han,

that he wouldn't cooperate.

I mean, not only
did he follow...

[intercom switches off]

You know, Booth, uh...
is a really good guy.

He says the same about you.

Really?

'Cause I figured he was
the one talking you out

of going with me.

No, he told me to go.

Angela did, too.

Everyone thinks
it's a great idea.

Everyone except you?

But you're not gonna go,
are you?

[sighs]

Why, Brennan?

Sailing around
warm oceans

with someone who loves you?

Please,

tell me
what is holding you here.

Look, I don't--

I don't want
to sound conceited...

[chuckles]

...but, uh...

I think I'm worth the risk.

You are.

You definitely are.

All right, well,
you're the logical one.

What's your thinking?

Rationally...

[sighs]

...rationally thinking, I...

I want to go.

And I know I should go,
but...

...I can't.

What you're doing...

it's important...

...but it's not important enough
to be your whole life.

Breakfast.

I'm not hungry.

Aw, come on, huh?

What are you gonna vomit

when we come across one of
those, uh, horrific cases?

I don't vomit.

Give it time,
Bones, okay?

Give it time.

Everything happens
eventually.

Everything?

All the stuff, okay,
that you think never happens?

It happens.

You just gotta
