The G.P.S. says
it's right up here.

You don't even know
how to use that thing.

The hell I don't.[ Electronic Twittering ]

We're here.We just drove an hour
through the woods...

to find more woods
that look just like
the woods we drove through.

Eureka.Ew!

That's mud.No. This is, like, um--

Yeah, it's pretty much mud.It smells like rotten egg.

Mmm. Sulfur.

Very therapeutic.

And you expect me to believe
you've never been here before.

A friend of mine
told me about this place
and swore me to secrecy,

but this is my first time--
in mud.

[ Mud Sloshing ] Come on in.
It's nice.

All right. [ Zipper Unzips ]

Mmm. Something's poking me.

This mud is reputed to have
amazing romantic properties.

Mmm. I think I got it.

No, I think I'd notice
if you got it.

[ Gasps ]

[ Both Screaming ]

Whoa. Sheesh.

This hot spring averages
a temperature of 105 degrees,

but it can spike to near
boiling, which is why
we discourage bathers,

especially those who
illegally drive 4x4 vehicles
into a national park.

-So someone was boiled to death?
-Or had a heart attack or passed
out, et cetera, et cetera.

The remaining flesh
will have to be macerated.

- What's that?
- Uh, don't ask.

The flesh either has to be
boiled off or eaten by
dermestid beetles.

Bones, why can't you
just say "cleaned"?

The sulfur encrusted the bone.
You see the staining?

- [ Booth ] So it's
been there a long time?
- Not necessarily.

- So why do you have to
even bring it up then?
- Signs of blunt-force trauma.

- What's that mean?
- That means he didn't pass out
and boil to death on his own.

- I'm going to need
all of the mud.
- Excuse me?

Get a tanker truck out here
and suck it up so we can filter
it back at the Jeffersonian.

Humerus is 36.5 centimeters.

Medium build.
Late 20s, early 30s.

He's broken this bone before.

- Is she serious about the mud?
- Serious as a gas attack.

"Heart attack," Bones.
Serious as a heart attack.

[ Electronic Beeping ]

The description's too general
to get anything from
a Missing Persons report.

Triangular depression
in the calvarium, interior
longitudinal 1 fracture,

grazed cortical bone in C1.

There's a patterned
impression in the bone.

How many times was he hit?
And by what?

More than once--
by a square pipe.
Does that exist?

In my experience, people
hit people with anything
they can pick up and swing.

He was attacked
from behind?Mmm--

What?There's a vertical
impaction fracture...

to his glabella
and fronto-nasal suture.

Same weapon?It doesn't appear so.

- I have seen this before.
- Really? Great. Where?

From sharpened stone weapons
in Neandertal skeletons.

I'm thinking not so relevant
in this case.

The blow to the front
of the head would cause
a severe laceration.

There were no bloodstains
around the mud bath.

Indicating the body was
dumped there postmortem.

Jack, regarding
the Neanderthals-- Neandertals.

What was the context
of those killings?

Accepted scenarios indicate
a single individual attacked
by two or more assailants.

Then we're looking
for two or more murderers.

[ Brennan ]
We're not sure about
time of death yet.

- It was definitely a murder.
- Definitely.
Probably by two assailants.

What a shock
for that couple, huh?

They slide naked
into the hot mud bath...

- and a skeleton hand pokes
her in the, you know--
- Anus.

- Bones!
- What? It's a clinical term for
that part of the body, Booth.

Dr. Brennan.
Agent Booth.

Would it be fair to say
that you use work...

to avoid confronting
personal issues?

Why? Because I don't
want to talk about--

The anus.You really like
that word, don't you?

Do you two ever discuss anything
that's not attached to work?

- Well, it's better than
talking about, you know--
- The anus?

- What is it with you two?
- Sweets could be right.
We talk a lot about work.

- I talk about my kid.
- Because he was almost
kidnapped during a case.

Uh, my father.
We talk about him.

Because Agent Booth
arrested him for murder.

Okay. What are you
trying to get at here?

Your inability to share
your personal lives.
I thought that was obvious.

Okay, that was snotty.
I don't respond well to snotty.

After a case, sometimes...

we have a drink
or coffee.

Booth has pie.
I don't like pie.

You really should
just give it a chance.

- I find it too sweet.
- Okay. There.
We talked about pie.

Nothing to do with work.

It is better
when we discuss murder.

I'd like to see you guys
in a social situation.

A situation where work
is a taboo subject.

Gonna send us to a restaurant
and watch through
a one-way mirror?

- I'm still not having pie.
- No. An evening out
with my girlfriend and me.

[ Chuckles ]
They need someone
to buy them beer.

You want us to go
on a double date?

Why don't you just go
on the Internet like all
the rest of the kids?

Okay. If it goes well,
I'll withdraw my concern.

I'll release you back
into your environment.

What are we, brook trout?

Fine.

[ Sighs ] Agent Booth?

Unless you think
that's too much to prove.

Fine. I'll show him
I have nothing to prove.

Bring it on, Sweets.

[ Sighs ] So far, I have
three old beer cans,

an Indian arrowhead,

73 cents in change... [ Electronic Beep ]

and a partially melted
Sharpie.

The victim was braised
like osso buco.

The flesh was
falling off the bone.

I'd put time of death
between 10 days and two weeks.

I found stress fractures
and degenerative changes
in the facet joints.

Fits with the hypertrophy
of the cervical muscles.

I found microscopic tearing,
but he had to sustain
thisposition...

to cause that kind of
wear and tear.Death by yoga?

Is that skull
ready for me yet?

It should be ready.
You can take it out
of the boiler anytime.

Or you could do that for me
because I will never,
ever do that.

There are fractures of the
pelvis, compression fractures of
thoracic and lumbar vertebrae,

multiple metacarpal
and metatarsal fractures.

What was he?
Crash test dummy?

The injuries to the vertebrae,
tibia, femur...

are consistent with
landing on the feet after
falling from 10 to 20 feet.

What? Like jumping
out of a tree?

The damage to the scapula
and acromion resulted from
a low fall...

but forward movement
from between 16 to 20 miles
per hour.

- Falling off a bicycle.
- These injuries
are more recent.

Fractured and scored patella
and torn retinaculum.

- Even I didn't get that one.
- Why would anyone
want to kill him?

Sounds like he was doing
a good enough job on his own.

[ Brennan ]
Yes. Okay, Dr. Sweets.
I'll ask him.

How's Wednesday night?
Are you free?

Oh, what? To have
our big double date
with our psychiatrist?

Just one more evening
and then maybe we won't
have to see him anymore.

Fine. Wednesday's fine.
I can't wait.

Does he want me
to get you a corsage?Yeah, Wednesday is fine.

We'll meet you there.
Yeah. I'm looking forward
to meeting her.

[ Sighs ]Okay. Bye.

This might be fun.
His girlfriend works
with tropical fish.

Tropical fish?Yeah.

- This is just weird.
Where are we meeting?
- At their ceramics class.

- What? No. You're kidding.
- Why would I be kidding?

He said it was a good idea
to have a common activity.

Ceramics? I thought
the whole point of therapy...

was to give us peace of mind,
not drive us crazy.

Hey, it's Angela.

Hey, Angela.Hey.

I did a rendering
of our victim's face.

We're checking him against
any reports of missing persons. [ Booth ] Wait a second.

- That's Tripp Goddard.
- Tripp Goddard?

He's a motorcycle racer.

Oh, I forget sometimes
I'm talking to girls.

That would explain the wrist and
neck injuries on Zack's report.

Have him confirm with dentals.

Yeah, I don't appreciate
the "girls" comment.

Uh, Tripp won a huge motorcycle
race about two weeks ago.

- That fits time of death.
- That would've been the Super
Grand Prix, out in Virginia.

Tripp won in the final two laps
after some kind of accident
took out the front-runner.

Girls, huh?

[ Man ]
It's not about the machine.
It's about the man.

Sure, you need a great bike,
but a great rider on a crap bike
is still gonna win.

Riders say it's about the rider.
Mechanics say it's the machine.
You know what I say?

-It's about whoever
signs the paychecks.
-Ah, yes. And that would be you.

- Yes, it would,
and don't forget it.
- Excuse me.

F.B.I. Special Agent Booth.
This here's Dr. Temperance
Brennan from the Jeffersonian.

We're looking for someone
who might be able to tell us a
little bit about Tripp Goddard.

Uh, well, I'm Philippa Fitz,
and Tripp rides for our
family team--

Slam Bolt.

- What did Tripp do?
- Who are you?

Garth Jodrey.
I'm a journalist.

- Motokneescrapers.com.
- What does that mean?

Racers, when they lean real low
into the corners, their knees--
they scrape the asphalt.

That would explain
his knee injuries.

- No one has seen Tripp since
after the Super Grand Prix.
- Where did he go?

After a big win, he usually
takes off in his truck and
climbs mountains, swims oceans.

No one really knows for sure.
Can I help you?

Mr. Goddard's dead.

What? What happened?

We believe he was murdered.

Who would kill Tripp?
I don't know.

Well, the fans loved him.

Everybody else hated him.Get lost, Garth.

- Daddy, please.
- No. I want him
out of here, Philippa.

Garth doesn't seem to think
Tripp was a good old boy,
and you do.

- He's got his reasons.
- The wheelchair, for one.

- Tripp put him
in that wheelchair?
- It was an accident.

During a race
a couple of years ago.

You can't honestly believe that
Garth had anything to do with
this. How? He's in a wheelchair.

- With help obviously.
- When was the last time
you saw Tripp?

The victory party
after the race.

I saw him get in his truck
and leave around midnight.

Great. I'm gonna
need to know the make,

the model, the year,
license plate of the truck.

Anything you need,
we're here.

Just find the bastard
who did this to him.

[ Cheering ][ Camera Shutters Clicking ]

[ Laughing ]
Yeah!

[ Garth ]
Okay. That's Danny Fitz.

I would've loved
to have decked Tripp
like that after our race.

- Only I was in a coma
for a few days.
- Another Fitz?

Yeah. Lenny's son.
Philippa's twin brother.

All right. Watch this.
Danny's got the race in the bag.

Final lap. Tripp does that.

Classic inside-out block pass.

- Is he allowed to do that?
- Only if it's an accident.

Slam Bolt would've
taken first and second
against Flame Spark...

if Tripp hadn't
have clipped Danny.

There's someone
named Flame Spark?

Yeah.
Flame Spark spark plugs.
It's Slam Bolt's rival team.

I saw a little daylight.
Looked like Danny was gonna
go wide, so I went for it.

It is a bummer when somebody
loses the front of their bike,
but, um, what are you gonna do?

Danny had that race in the bag.

Tripp did the same thing
to you, didn't he?

Yeah.

Well, I guess Tripp didn't
learn anything from the time
he did it to me.

Danny Fitz-- was he
at the victory party?

Yeah, absolutely.
Brave face for the press.

Did Danny leave
before or after Tripp?

About the same time.

- How about you?
- I took off right after.

[ Shouting ]

You're good friends
with Danny, aren't you?

You mean are we
good enough friends
to kill Tripp together?

You know, I'm pretty sure
I don't have to say anything
without a lawyer.

[ Loud Clatter ]

[ Clatter ]

- It's not going to work.
- What?

Dropping loud pieces of metal
to hurry me up.

I need the skull
so I can compare tool marks
to potential murder weapons.

You're just gonna
have to wait.

Titanium, magnesium
and heat-treated boron
particulates...

are embedded in these
skull fractures.

- Hmm.
- What?

That's a unique and exotic
combination of metals
not found in any of these.

[ Pipes Clattering ]

You know, it is possible
that these particulates
aren't from the tool.

I mean,
not from the tool alone.I don't understand.

Handmade racing motorcycles
are made from these metals.

So the particles could
have gone from the bicycles
to the tools to the victim.

It's-It's not a bicycle.
It's a motorcycle.

Bicycle-- two wheels.
The term applies.

[ Clattering ]

Drop those.

Drop them.
I mean it, Zack.
Bombs away.

I don't know what that proves.Proves I don't handle
irritation as well as I'd like.

- Can I pick these up now?
- No.

You can pick one up--
the most likely culprit.

A narrow instrument,
no more than an inch,
caused the injuries.

Okay.

Strain-- the crushing,
tearing, shearing--

equals the change
in dimension divided by
the original dimension.

I do bugs and slime.
I don't do arithmetic.

An elongated rod with...

this cross-section
is the most likely culprit.

Good. Good job, Zack.

Am I king of the lab?

We both are.[ Pipes Clatter ]

Let's go tell Cam.

[ Booth Laughing ]
Ouch.

Okay. Now that--
That's gotta hurt.

Wait. Here it comes again.
I mean, look at that.

Oh. Watch it.
Watch out. Watch out.
Oh! Boom!

Let the record show
that Agent Booth
is taunting my client...

by repeatedly showing footage
of his traumatic accident.

Don't say "accident," man.
Tripp did that to me on purpose.

How fast were you going
at the time of your incident?

I don't know exactly.
I was accelerating through 160.

Tripp was accelerating faster.
See there? Whoosh.

- Again with taunting.
- Why was Tripp
so much better than you?

- Taunting.
- I'm not taunting, Mr. Smalls.

I'm restating an objective fact.

Tripp had a better bike.
He had maybe 20 horses on me.

So you get Tripp's bike now.
Right, Mr. Fitz?

- I didn't kill Tripp
for his motorcycle.
- Why did you kill him?

Whoa. Full stop there, cowboy.

Don't sweat it there, princess.
Any other reason why you'd
want to get rid of Tripp?

No. Danny.

Certain things you hide
make you look guilty.

Couple years back,
Tripp was going out
with my sister.

- Cheated on her with a groupie.
- Came to blows.

- Who won?
- I did, for once.

- Knocked him on his ass.
- And you defended her honor.

Danny and Philippa
are twins, Agent Booth.
They're very close.

Cheated on your sister,
forced you to crash.

How would you exactly
describe your relationship?

- We were the best of friends.
- [ Smalls ]
As your lawyer,

I must caution you
that sarcasm doesn't
show up in the transcript.

Best be avoided.Look. I'm sorry Tripp's dead,
but I'm not exactly grieving.

- You feel me?
- Bones, he's not afraid
of me at all.

Well, it's hard to scare
someone who rides around
a track at 200 miles an hour.

Now her I like.
You want to go out sometime?

[ Smalls ]
Danny, restrain yourself.

- No, she doesn't want
to go out with you.
- Let me speak for myself.

Murder suspect here, Bones.

The wound at the front
of the head or the back?Back.

It couldn't be both?No.

The blow to the front of
the head was from a sharp tool.

- Sharper than round
but blunter than sharp.
- What?

That actually
made sense to me.

You two have been spending
way too much time together.

Can you estimate
the amount of force?

In the back of the head,
length undetermined,

a width of 3.8 centimeters,
approximately a thousand
pounds of force.

- So, a lot.
- Half a ton.

- Which is a lot.
- That actually isn't very much.

All right. Now I'm back
in a physics class
I want to ditch.

A boxer's fist can land
with double that force.

- A big, meaty fist in a glove.
- Yeah. With a force
spread out...

over a hell of a lot more
than 3.8 centimeters.

Correct. It wouldn't
take all that much force
to crush a skull with this.

So we haven't eliminated anyone
from our list of suspects.

Plus we don't know
what that's a cross-section of,

and we don't know
what caused the damage
to the front of the face.

What exactly made you two
come in here crowing,
"king of the lab"?

I'm gonna go back and look
at very small things under
my very large microscope.

I can probably identify
the type of tool
off this cross-section.

Do it and call Booth.
See if it's any use to him.

- Boys.
- Wow.

I don't have the weapon,
but...

I microwaved the fabric
samples and used gas sensors
to analyze--

All right. All right.
Let's just cut to the chase
there, okay, Mr. Wizard?

I have identified what was
on the victim's clothing.

- Fine. I'll take anything
at this moment.
- What is it?

It's toluene.
It's a clear liquid
used to clean up oil.

How is that supposed to help us?
Every mechanic in the world
uses that stuff.

I need a weapon.
Do you hear me?
A weapon.

You know, I'm feeling really
underappreciated today.

You know what?
You can suck it up, Buttercup.

Booth?Huh?

- Toluene.
- It's also excellent
for cleaning up blood.

So, if you killed someone here
and they bled a lot--

The drain. Hey.

Check this drain for blood.

Blood suspended in toluene
might be testable for D.N.A.

-Tell Hodgins he did a good job.
-I'll tell Hodgins
he did a good job if--

[ Hodgins On Phone ]
I'm waiting.

I hate when you do this.

- Do what?
- You don't talk.

Sometimes you hate when I talk.
So it's a double-edged sword.

- Bones doesn't mind
sitting in silence, do you?
- Mm-mmm.

- I hate it.
- Why do you think that is?

- He gets bored.
- You're right. I get bored.

You should see him on stakeouts.
He talks and talks.

Well, it's very interesting.

- Is it always about work?
- No.

You're lying.

Oh, come on.
How do you know that?

I have special training
in how to tell
when people are lying.

- Is that true?
- See, if you were me,
you'd know.

[ Chuckles ]

You're lying
to protect your partner.
I understand that.

But let's agree
amongst ourselves
that this is a truth zone.

Is something bothering you?

[ Groans ]
It's this whole
"going on a date" thing.

- No, it's not a date.
- It's not a date.
It's a social outing...

for the purpose of
professional evaluation.

Come on. Ceramics?
I'm not that kind
of a guy. All right?

What do we say we go,
you know, bowling,
or to a firing range?

Or climbing a wall.Oh. Right.
Something you're good at.

A movie. Right? Or dinner.
Dinner and movie.

Somewhere that I don't
have to make something.

[ Inhales ]
Ooh.

What? What "ooh"?

Well, what Sweets would do
in this situation is he'd
jump on word usage.

He's going to
ask you why you're
resistant to "making."

I jump on the semantics?

- That's a really aggressive
turn of phrase.
- [ Booth Chuckles ]

Thanks for pulling
focus there, Bones.

"Pulling." Is that
an aggressive word too?

Okay, what?
Did you two plan this?

Paranoia.
That is paranoia.

Since this is a truth zone,
I will tell you the truth.

We didn't plan anything.

- You're telling the truth.
- He's guessing, Bones.

We're going to a ceramics class,
and we're all gonna
make something.

Time's up.

[ Motors Revving ]

Look. Sweets can't really tell
if someone's lying.

I'm telling you.
He's playing with our minds.

There's an area of study
called neurolinguistics
which proposes...

that subconscious
eye movements
and body language...

tell a well-trained observer
if the subject is lying.Yeah, well, I don't believe it.

Huh. I don't believe it.

[ Brennan ]
Is that Tripp's bike? [ Booth ] Yeah.

Looks like Danny's gonna
finally get what he wants, huh?

Do me a favor, Son.
Take it easy a couple times
around before you blast off.

- I know, Dad.
Ease into it.
- Hey, can I get a picture?

Let's get a picture.
Look at that. Number one
on the Slam Bolt racing team.

-You gotta feel good about that.
-I'm not talking to you
without my lawyer present.

[ Lenny ]
That goes for all of us.
Look, you-- you I can replace.

Do not wreck my bike.

[ Revving ]

Well, Lenny,
I'm thinking your boy
isn't gonna relax into this.

Well, if Danny gets a chance
to grab the brass ring,
he's gonna take it.

[ Booth ]
Okay. Watch this, Bones.

He's gonna decelerate
right before the turn and just
slingshot right through it.

I don't see
the deceleration part.

No, no.

- [ Man ]
Danny's down!
- [ Gasps ]

Come on.
Let's get in there!No! No!

No!
[ Sobbing ]

[ Man ]
Get in there! [ Man #2 ] Put that out!

No, Danny.

Yes. We're at
the Belleville Practice Track
on Highway 64.

Send an air ambulance now.
There's been
a motorcycle accident.

[ Exhales Deeply ]

[ Police Radio Chatter ]

Where's your father?He's at the house.

He's already had
two heart attacks. He doesn't
need to be here for this.

Excuse me.Seems like a crime to mess
with such a sweet bike, huh?

Yeah, a crime, like murder.Right. I-I-I just meant
the bike itself. It's--

No, I get it.
You like bikes.

These rotors are laser cut
and honed. Very exact.

Bend one just a little, and
when this baby gets to speed,
the rotor hits a brake pad.

- Separates a little farther,
and the next thing you know--
- Yes. We saw.

So it couldn't have
been an accident.You mean, "Oops,

I accidentally stuck a piece of
metal through this tiny hole and
pushed it with all my might"?

-So anyone could have done this?
-Anyone who's familiar
with motorcycles--

and was a killer.

Why would anyone
want to kill Danny?

You can't be near
the evidence.
I'm sorry.

See what else
you can find, will you?

Recovering ink traces
on plastic and polymers
is problematic.

So I am using
a new technique.

A little of
the reagent eugenol, and...

voilà.

- "EE S APERS DO CO."
- Does that mean
anything to you?

Korean restaurant?Unlikely. There are
obviously missing letters.

We need to place the consonants
most likely to appear with
this configuration of vowels,

and vowels to consonants.

That is an enormous
amount of variables, Zack.

Shh.
"Lee Snappers Doll Company."Don't think so.

"Freenewspapers.com."
"Keen snappers don't come."

Definitely not."Kneescrapers.com."

Oh, my God. That's it.

Motokneescrapers.com.

How did you do that?Process of elimination.

You realize I have
no idea what it means.

It's the Web site run by
the journalist that Tripp
put in a wheelchair.

So this man's pen was found
on the murder victim.

Or it fell in the mud
when the body was dumped.

[ Woman Chattering ]

[ Chuckles ]
I'm enjoying this.

The last time I threw pots,
I was in Colombia
with the Arhuaco Indians.

Last time I did
something like this,
I was in nursery school.

[ Chuckles ]Well, we love it.

Don't we, Lance?Yes.

Well, I love my work.

But I'm not gonna
talk about that right now,

even though
we think a paraplegic
killed Tripp Goddard.

- That sounds fascinating.
- April.

Oopsie.

[ Chuckles ]

Dr. Sweets says that you
work with tropical fish.Yes.

I love fish.
They're just like people.

No. No, they're not
actually.

People can't breathe
underwater.

She's funny.

I am? What?

Why is that funny?I don't think she meant
that literally, Bones.

Oh. It's their eyes.

You can tell
so much from eyes.

In humans, a retinal scan
is as specific as a fingerprint.

No, no. Their souls.

You can see their little souls.

I don't understand. You believe
that fish have souls?

Yes. You can see it
in their coloring.

It's-- It's a reflection
of who they are.

Their coloring has developed
over millennia as a way
to deal with predators.

April just means
they're beautiful.

Don't tell me
what I mean, Lance.

I mean
they have souls.Okay.

Hey. Look what I'm making.

You've done this before.

- No.
- You have.

You really think that's good?

- Yes. Very.
- Yours is good too, April.

I'm not talking to you.

You think that's funny?

Are they fighting?Just focus on your pot there.

I'm with patients, April.

Oh, no. No patients tonight.

Just us people making pots.

You can't apologize
for me, Lance.

Can we please just move on?

No. I just--

I meant I believe
that all creatures--

people, fish, dogs--
we're all connected.

We all share the same stuff
that makes life so beautiful
and precious.

On a quantum level,
that's true.

Although the word "stuff"
is not accurate.

See?

What? I have great respect
for your fish.

Admittedly, I might relate
to other things more.

He kills about
a thousand people a night.

Yeah. In a video game, April.
They're not real.

Hey, Sweets.
Your, uh, thing there is droopy.

Wow. Look at my horse.

- [ April ]
Wow.
- That's amazing, Agent Booth.

- [ Imitates Hoofbeats ]
- Very impressive.

Yes, it is.

- [ Gasps ]
- Ooh, Bones. I'm sorry.

Oh! Geez.

Hey, Sweets, I apologize.
This whole ceramic thing
is great.

[ Both Laughing ]

- [ Booth ]
Oh.
- [ Brennan Laughs ]

[ Forced Laugh ]
Yeah. This is fun.

[ Exhales ]

I'll tell you one thing.
Sweets didn't get any
last night.

They're too young to be
in a serious relationship.

In agrarian societies,
young couplings made sense.

The partnership
was for survival.
But today--

You know, you can play
the field and not plow it.

That was distasteful.What?

I like April though.She talks to fish. Okay?

[ Chuckles ]
I'm with Sweets on this one.

- [ Cell Phone Rings ]
- Brennan.

- Hey, it's Zack.
- Hi, Zack.

[ On Speakerphone ]
The pry bar from the garage
is not the murder weapon.

It's a pry bar like this one,
but not this one.

The deep parallel grooves
on the interior border...

are not a match. [ Booth ]
What about the blood?

Apparently the toluene
caused a false positive.

What about the vertical fracture
on the frontal suture?

- That's the forehead.
- Yeah. I did another scraping
of the fracture,

and I found a sliver of glass
with a mastic film on it.

The mass spec shows it
as a nitrate of silver.

So, I think we're looking
for some kind of a mirror.

Good. Thank you.

Found it
early this morning.

No way of knowing
how long it's been here.

My guess is it was stolen,
driven around some,
then stripped for parts.

-[ Brennan ] VIN number matches?
-Oh, it's the victim's truck,
all right.

Hey. I gotta tell you.
I love working this one.

I'm usually looking over
some battered old heap
for evidence,

but the vehicles on this case--
[ Inhales ]
they are sweet.

- Got anything else for me?
- They're testing mud on
the bottom of the vehicle...

on the chance it might match
where the victim was dumped.

- Pry bar.
- [ Booth ]
Huh?

- Pry bar.
- Yep. Covered in blood.

I blame the Stooges.

- Excuse me?
- The Three Stooges.

They were always bashing
each other in the heads...

with hammers and bricks
and stuff and never got hurt.

People think
they can do it too.Thanks.

All I'm saying is that killings
like this are Stooge related.

- Booth.
- Yeah?

The side mirror.

Long jagged edge.
He was standing by his truck.

Someone came up behind him
and hit him with the pry bar.

Falls forward into the mirror.Fracturing his
fronto-nasal suture.

- Huh?
- [ Together ]
Forehead.

Booth, this suggests
only one assailant.

Can we get some luminal,
check the mirror for blood?

Well, we're not hurting
for blood around here.
Check this out.

Love these. Whoa. Oh.

Don't need any luminal for this.

So he was killed,
loaded in the box,
driven to the mud and dumped.

That's physically impossible
for a paraplegic to do.

If it's only one murderer,
it wasn't Garth.
Do we have any prints?

Just the victim's. But we did
find some hair in the box
where the body was placed.

It's dyed.
We're checking for
the exact brand and color.

The roots are gray
and short.

Lenny Fitz dyes his hair.

Why would Lenny kill
his most valuable rider?

I'd like the record
to reflect that my client
has been drinking.

That's an understatement.

And that he's rejecting
my advice not to speak to you
at this time.

- Drinking a lot there, Lenny?
Maybe out of guilt?
- I lost a son, Agent Booth.

A son.

So excuse me for feeling bad
about that, all right?

Do you mean
your biological son
or Tripp Goddard?

Lady, I loved Tripp Goddard
like a son.

But Danny--
Danny was my son.

There's a difference. [ Smalls ]
I'm confused.

Is my client a person
of interest in this
or an actual suspect?

- And in which death?
- That depends upon whether
or not the same person...

killed both Danny Fitz
and Tripp Goddard.

You can't honestly
think that I killed
either one of them.

- Well, we found Tripp's truck.
- Where?

Clearing in
Jackson State Park.

Forensic evidence shows
that Tripp was murdered
in the mechanics' bay...

and his body was transported
in his own truck.

What's that got to do
with my client?

There's forensic evidence
tying him to the body.

What you got?
A nail clipping?
A piece of dried snot? A hair?

No. We got forensic evidence.

Lenny, when was
the last time you saw Tripp?

I told you.
At the victory party.

You shook hands with him,
sat next to him at the bar.
Did you make out a little?

I hugged him.

Any other questions
about how trace evidence
from my client...

may have wound up
on Tripp's remains?

- Just hold him on suspicion.
That's all.
- Look. I didn't kill Tripp.

I can get a court order
to release him
in less than an hour.

Look. Why would I kill
somebody I just signed
a business deal with?

Wait. Y-You what?

Mr. Fitz signed 10% of
his company over to Tripp.

- You mean the motorcycle team.
- No. Mr. Fitz means
the beverage company.

Slam Bolt energy drinks?

- Why offer so much?
- [ Chuckles ]
'Cause he was the best.

So I offered him
a piece of the business...

as an incentive to race
exclusively for Slam Bolt.

- And everybody's happy.
- Who isn't happy?

Every other motorcycle team.

- Did Tripp Goddard sign?
- I only got him
the contract that night.

- And then hugged him.
- So you signed it,
but he didn't.

We don't know.

You haven't found
the contract, have you?

We'll be in touch.

[ Booth ]
Sexual jealousy
as a motive didn't pan out.

Professional jealousy
was looking pretty good.Until Danny was killed.

But money--
that's always good.How much money?

Well, company like Slam Bolt?
Millions is my guess.

Tripp Goddard
could have been attacked
by more than one person.

The skull shows that
as a possibility.No "changies," Bones. Okay?

Pry bar to the back of
the skull, mirror to the face.
No take-backs. One killer.

I'm just saying that
maybe Philippa and Danny
didn't like it...

when their father signed over
a chunk of their family company
to Tripp Goddard.

Well, it's a good
business decision.

Look. Garth wants Tripp dead
for putting him in a wheelchair.

Philippa wants Tripp dead
for grabbing up a hunk
of her father's company.

Two killers again?
You said no changies
and no take-backs.

Doesn't scan.
You know?

I mean, why would
either Garth or Philippa
want Danny dead?

You're the motive guy.Look. We found Garth's
Kneescrapers pen in the mud.

That doesn't prove anything.
He gave them out to everybody.[ Sighs ]

[ Groans ]
It's right here, Bones.

It's right in front of us,
but I just--
I can't get it.

That whole business
with changies and take-backs--
that's not real, right?

No.

I have another question.

Is there anything more
we can learn
from the murder weapon?

No, that's a you question.

My question is how did
the murderer know about
the secret mudhole?

Look. I know I was breaking
the rules when I drove my truck
on national park land.

But, I mean, this girl--
Didn't you see her?I really don't care about that.

Come on, man. Have a heart.

Look. I got it about the girl
the minute I saw her, okay?

We all do things
for the girl.[ Taps Golf Ball ]

What do you need
to talk to me for?

- I need to know how you
found out about that mudhole.
- Oh.

"Oh," what?

I don't want to be a rat. Look, sport.

I don't care about the girl
or the mud or the 4x4.

Hardly anyone knows
about that place,

and someone
dumped the body there.

My friend told me about it.

I need a name.He didn't do it.
He's in a wheelchair.

Your friend's name
Garth Jodrey?

How'd you know that?Special Agent Seeley Booth.

Special.

[ Zack ]
This is the shaft
of the pry bar.

It's made of tempered steel
with a shiny chrome covering.

[ Brennan ]
The murder weapon
we found on Tripp's truck.

Yes. As you can see,
the chrome is compromised.

Putting chrome on a pry bar
is not a good example
of functionality.

- Maybe it was decorative.
- Those are blood flecks.

- From the victim?
- There's no way of knowing
until a D.N.A. test is done.

[ Zack ] The blood flecks
begin approximately 25%
of the way up the handle.

- What does that indicate?
- I have absolutely no idea.

Come on. Choke?

Didn't anybody
play softball or baseball?

Okay.

It's a choke up.

For somebody not strong enough
to swing the entire
length of the bat.

Of course.
It's a choke up.

To foreshorten the fulcrum.

Yes. I see,

because the murderer
was weaker than
the full-grown male human...

for whom the pry bar
was designed.

Right. Like a girl.

Now, when I batted,
I always had to choke up.

Then, of course,
I kicked ass.

- Sweet.
- I'll have Cam check the D.N.A.

- Excuse me. Temperance?
- April, hi.

I, uh, wanted to talk
to you woman to woman,
if that's possible.

It is possible
because we are both women.

Seeing you the other night,
it made me realize that
you have a very objective eye.

Thank you.And you got to see
Lance and me together.

And I wonder if--
if you might tell me
what you think.

Well-- Could you be more
specific in the question?

Um--

Fish.

Fish choose their mates
based primarily
on color gradations.

Two gouramis, for example,
one male and one female,

they'll mate if
they're both vibrant blue.

Now, if the male
becomes paler,

which can happen
over the course of time,

the female becomes
nonreceptive to the male.

Even aggressive.
Do you see where
I'm going with this?

Sweets is too pale?

Yes.

But let's say young
instead of pale
and go with that.

Is there an age difference?

[ Chuckles ]
Yeah. I'm almost 27,

and Lance just turned 23.

What's the age difference
between you and Booth?

Uh, fi--
five years, but no.

We are not blue fish.Oh.

But still, he's very firm
once you get him
out of that suit, but--

A pale blue.Robin's egg really.

I'm a vibrant,
vibrant cobalt.

Not literally.
I mean, we're both
mostly pink in reality.

No, I understand.

Did we seem
good together to you?

April,
it was only one evening.

We got the D.N.A. results
from the murder weapon.

-Sex?
-Oh, so much more than adequate.
It was wonderful really.

I mean, he's a nighttime person,
and I'm most enthusiastic
in the morning,

but that's not the problem.

Oh. Sorry.

You were--
You were talking about work.

D.N.A. says
the murderer's female.

Excuse me. We're here
about a mud bath?

No. We got a sworn statement
here from Garth Jodrey...

that Philippa Fitz
took him to the mudhole...

three years ago.To have sex.

Same mudhole that Tripp
was dumped in.

I can give you a sworn statement
that Garth took me
to that mudhole.

- Ooh, I slid that one
right by her.
- What?

You just admitted that
you had prior knowledge to
the location of a mudhole.

- No changies.
- No take-backs.

Answer nothing without
prior confirmation from me.

You killed Tripp because
your father was about to sign
the company over to him.

What?Don't respond in any way.

We have D.N.A. evidence that
shows that you swung the pry bar
into Tripp's head.

According to
the forensic report,

the sample was very small...

and was totally used up
during the course of the test.

- It's an accurate test.
- But it can't be repeated.

And my client
has a twin brother.

Juries hate D.N.A. evidence
and twins.

What's that sound?

I believe
that's reasonable doubt
starting its engines.

We have evidence that
the same pry bar was used
to sabotage Tripp's motorcycle.

A common tool left
in a semipublic area,

in a situation that could have
resulted from incompetence
rather than sabotage.

You sabotaged the bike
to kill Tripp,

but he signed the contract
before he could ride the bike...

and die the way
he was supposed to.

[ Brennan ]
So you killed him
with the pry bar,

loaded him onto his
own truck and dumped him
in the mud puddle.

Everything was great
until your brother...

rode the bike
that you sabotaged.

- You don't ride someone else's
bike. Danny knew that.
- Philippa.

You killed him accidentally,
but you did kill him.

I loved my brother.

Don't speak, please.

Are we free to go, or
would you like to waste more
of the taxpayers' money?

- She did it.
- You may get a prosecutor
to lay a murder charge,

but a jury will never
bring home this baby
the way you want it to.

You're right.

- But you know what? I'm still
gonna make the arrest.
- To what end?

- You can't win.
- To let everybody know
what Philippa did,

including her father.

I'm okay with
what you did there.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Thanks a million, Bones.

Don't get mad.

I'm just saying that...

I just like it better
when we catch 'em
and they go to jail.

[ Sighs ]
Yeah, well, sometimes
it can get messy, Bones.

But the point is it gets done.

This one started out
in a pit of mud
and ended in a pit of mud.

[ Chuckles ]
That's very damn poetic of you.

Oh, hey, guys.

I didn't know
you'd be here.

What do you think, Bones?

He's lying.
You want to sit down?

Not really.

- Lying again.
- Come on. Sit down.

Okay.

April dump you?How do you know that?

He's got the "dumpee" look
on his face.

I'm a trained psychologist.
I mean, I saw this coming.

It's not like
the signs eluded me.

So I prepared myself
mentally for it.

Hey, Sweets.

- Bones and I,
we're going bowling tonight.
- Yes.

Yes, bowling.

You know what?
You want to come, to go bowling
with us at the bowling rink?

Alley.Bowling alley.
The bowling alley.

You know, fish aren't
actually sentient.

There's a reason people say
"cold as a fish."

Me, I'm a dog person.

I think that has meaning.

Don't you?Sure.

You think April was pretty?

Mmm, not at all.

You're lying,
Dr. Brennan.

- I appreciate the effort.
Thank you.
- Come on, Sweets.

What do you say
we go bowling?
I got him. Come on.

Nah.
That's all right.Come on.

What's that mean?
