[ Grunts ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Booth ]
Oh, whoa.
You look nice today.

Down, boy.
Gotta go to work.

Beautiful
and responsible.

How did I get
so lucky, huh?

What do you know
about Anacostia?

It's a neighborhood about
a mile and a half from here.

Seedy, prostitution,
lots of gangs, bad activity.
Why?

You ever hear of local cops
getting bought off down there?

I thought you were only
working the White House
and Capitol Hill.

You can see Anacostia from
the top of the Capitol dome.

Really?Mm-hmm.

Expanding our portfolio,
are we?Look who's talking.

How many jurisdictional
boundaries have you transgressed
over the years?

All of them.All of them?

Mm-hmm.[ Chuckles ]

Every one of them.Oh.
[ Laughs ]

Bye.Bye.

I'll miss you.

[ Sighs ]

Anacostia? That's a really
tough part of town.

Not compared to
downtown Kabul it's not.

Or the surface of Venus,
which is covered by clouds
of sulfuric acid...

and hundreds of active
megavolcanoes.

What? We are talking about
tough neighborhoods.

Uh-huh.
It's good that Hannah's totally
jazzed about her work though.

For smart people like Hannah
and me, not being jazzed
is physically painful.

Whoa. Are you saying that
Hannah does extra work
because she's bored at home?

No. No.

I'm an exciting guy.

I, for example-- I'm makin'
dinner for her tonight
with wine.

You just decided that now,
didn't you?

If you're not the cause
of her ennui,

then it stands to reason that
you cannot make her happy.

- It's standard
first-order logic.
- First-order logic?

First-order logic
is a philosophical system
of reasoning...

using "if-then" statements
as quantifiers and predicates.

"If-then" statements
are binary truth functions,
wherein a compound sentence...

is logically equivalent
to the negative.

Guys, guys. Hannah
and I are really happy.

I gave her the big closet,
and I always put the seat down
after I pee.

You should also
put the lid down.

Otherwise, a fine mist
of aerosolized urine
and fecal particulates...

are sprayed into the air
every time you flush.

- You might as well brush
your teeth in excrement.
- [ Cell Phone Rings ]

- She's right.
- [ Rings, Beeps ]

Yeah. Thank God you called.

Okay. Great. Thanks.

We have a case.
We've got to go.

[ Booth ]
Oh, it looks like
a giant man-eating clam.

[ Brennan ]
There's no such thing
as a man-eating clam.

You know, the giant ones,
they clamp on to your leg
like a bear trap.

No. A: The shells close too
slowly to catch anything.

B: The really big ones can't
even close all the way.

Not in the movies
I've watched.

[ Shutter Clicking ] [ Siren Wailing In Distance ]

It's all yours.

Whoa. Poor guy. Now he's
stuck in a hard place.

How do you know it's a male?I don't.
I just meant, you know--

I just feel bad,
whatever sex.Oh.

However,
you are correct.Oh.

Given the angle of the jaw
and the wear to the teeth,

the victim is a male
in his late 20s.

Male, late 20s.
Okay, what's that?A probe.

These appear to be the only
remains encased here.

- What do you mean?
- Where's the back
of his skull?

Oh, okay, so what you're
saying is there could be,
you know, male parts...

all just embedded here
in this big slab of concrete?

Well, there's the impression
of the rest of the skull.

When the concrete set,
the bone was still there.

But somehow, it disappeared
in the meantime.

Okay, so let me guess.
You want the whole slab
of concrete...

shipped back to
the Jeffersonian, right?No.

Don't be absurd.
A 2-by-3-by-4-meter section
will be fine.

- Yeah.
- Shouldn't weigh
more than a ton.

[ Vacuum Sucking ]

Nothin' here but dust.

Perhaps it's what's left
of the missing bones.

It could be many things,
Mr. Vaziri.

Speculation is pointless
until we analyze the evidence.

Sorry. I've been away from
forensic anthropology for almost
a year. I guess I'm rusty.

But we are glad to
have you back, Mr. Vaziri.
Aren't we, Dr. Brennan?

Yes, we're delighted.

[ Brennan ]
Cultural anthropology
is a fine discipline,

but it doesn't involve
as much hard science
as forensic anthropology.

I hope that
you'll be able to make
the requisite readjustment.

- It's like time
has stood still.
- All done.

So many tunnels in there,
like an ant farm.

Since we have
the fluoroscope,

I was thinking I could inject
a barium sulfate slurry
into the concrete.

Once inside, I could
fluoroscope the slurry
like an M.R.I.

That should give us
a clear picture of what
we're dealing with...

without destroying
the concrete.

How's that for
hard-science thinking?

Attaboy, Arastoo.

[ Liquid Gurgling ]

Looks like
a human skeleton.[ Arastoo ] It is a skeleton.

Or at least the cast of one.

So, the tissue must
have decomposed before
the concrete was poured.

- [ Hodgins ] Why?
- [ Brennan ]
Because, otherwise,

we'd be looking at
the mold of a human body...

instead of a mold
of the skeleton.

What happened to
the victim's clothing?

[ Hodgins ]
Natural fibers,
like cotton,

would have decomposed
to dust or tatters...

- in, say, I don't know,
four months?
- But not bones.

If we can figure out what
happened to the victim's
skeletal structure,

we may be able to figure out
what happened to him.

All right, so the victim
was lying on his back,

arms by his side.

He must have been knocked
unconscious, paralyzed
or already dead.

What's your thinking?If he was conscious,

he would have
curled up in pain
or tried to crawl away.

I've found something
really odd.

[ Saroyan ]
Something between
the victim's teeth?

No. On his teeth.

Is there any such thing
as a dental tattoo?

There's no reason that ink
couldn't be introduced
to the enamel.

What do you got?

Huh. Well, that's a new one.

There's a figure of an
upside-down man on the victim's
left central maxillary incisor.

I believe he's
effecting a headspin.
A classic hip-hop move.

There can't be too many people
that tattoo teeth, right?

This could lead
to the victim's identity.

I will find it extremely
frustrating...

if the victim's identity
is all we can discern.

Well, unless you can take
bone dust and turn it back
into a full skeleton,

this is all
we've got to work with.

[ Door Closes ]

Oh, God.

What?You're gonna propose.

No.

Uh, candles,
wine.

New
toothbrushes?

Right.

You went through all this
to tell me I have bad breath?

No, I just think you
need a new toothbrush.

Well, actually, we both do,
and I bought these two,
obviously.

And you can choose
which color you'd like.

Something Temperance said?Yeah.
Something she did.

Trust me, you do not
want to know, okay?

So, more importantly,
it's time for a little wine.

Huh? Day's over.

Oh, yes.There you go, for you.
Okay.

Here we go, for me.

Cheers.Cheers.

Hmm?

So--
[ Clears Throat ]
we're good here.

Okay, Seeley,
what's all this about?

Nothing. Why does it
have to be about somethin'?

You found out that my editor
won't let me pursue
the corrupt cop story.

Huh?No, I didn't.

What did he say?

I quote: "The White House
press corps chases history,

not lurid
'‘true crime' stories."

[ Laughs ]
Wow. He actually said
the word "lurid"?

It's not funny.It is kind of funny.

Why is it funny?'Cause then I know that...

you're still gonna do that story
without his permission.

And I think that--
That really makes me laugh.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughs ]

I like that you
know me that well.

Yeah.

Is there any chance that
I could say to you, uh,
"Be careful,"

and then you could say,
"Safety first"?

It's worth a shot.Okay. You be careful.

Safety first.Liar.

Come here. Hmm.

[ Laughs ]
No.

Aren't we
gonna eat first?No way.

[ Laughs ]

[ Device Beeps ]

Angela.

Good morning. Hello.

Ooh. It is morning, yeah?

You stayed up
all night?[ Sighs ] Yes.

Is that good
for the baby?

Well, what he doesn't know
doesn't hurt him, right?

Okay, so here is a additive
stereo lithograph...

that I borrowed
from Archaeology.

You need a skeleton,
and I'm gonna make
a reasonable facsimile.

Are those lasers?

Their purpose is to cure
micro-thin layers of liquid
resin into hard plastic.

The stacking of these
two-dimensional layers...

will create
a three-dimensional object.

The fluoroscopic scan
created a template.

Which you'll use
to grow a plastic replica
of the victim's skeleton.

Well, how accurate
will it be?

That's for you and Arastoo
to find out...

while I take
a well-deserved nap.

At worst, it'll be
as accurate as a fossil.

I find I am totally jazzed
by your out-of-the-box,
lateral thinking.

[ Device Beeps ]

I come to work and
find myself in the future.

Time travel is impossible,
Mr. Vaziri.

But I know exactly
what you mean.

Wow.

If you're taking orders,

I'd like a 6'4",
37-year-old male with a good
income and no mommy issues.

The detail is remarkable.Thank you.

It's even flexible
at the joints...

where the tendons and ligaments
were replicated.

Right. But can we get
anything useful from it?

Well, the victim
had turned-out hips
and high arches.

That, along with the muscle
attachments at the shoulders
and hips,

suggests that he was
a ballet dancer.

There are nicks on the lateral
and posterior surfaces.

Okay. Why don't you just
flip it over so we can
get a better look?

I would never flip over
a real skeleton.

Ah, lucky for us
this is a replica.

Come on, grab a limb.

[ Sighs ]
Okay.

Hey, that was kinda fun.

These nicks suggest
that he was stabbed.

Or impaled.

We haven't proven murder yet,
Mr. Vaziri.

It's possible that
the victim blundered
into a construction site,

fell into the foundation,
impaling himself on rebar.

Well, this is the place where
the guy with the, uh, tattoo
on his tooth-- Robert Pearson--

studied before he left.

That's assuming
that Robert Pearson is
the only missing person...

to have a tattoo
of a hip-hop dancer
on his left front incisor.

- [ Woman ] Holding up.
- Well, I admit that the odds
favor your conclusion.

- Mm-hmm.
- No family? No job?

[ Booth ]
He hasn't been here
in a year, all right?

The skeleton isn't
the only thing missing.
This guy's off the grid.

Clumsy, clumsy, clumsy.
What are you doing?
Are you new?

[ Booth ]
Wow. She's mean.

Ballet is a rigorous
vocation, Booth.

- [ Gasps ]
- Whoa.

Bad posture, bad hands--
bad partner.

Are you an eagle?Excuse me?

Are you an eagle?

No.

Then stop making claws.
Fingers flat on all lifts.
That hurts, right?

Okay, I don't really have
any problem saying this woman
killed somebody. You?

Well, she's quite
small physically.

I suggest you learn
how to perform a lift.

She's mean.

Whoa. Okay, well, there's
your evidence of strength.

That's how you
perform a lift.

What do you want? I'm trying
to bring beauty to the world,
if that's okay with you?

We just have
a few questions about one
of your former students.

Which former student?
I have quite a number
of former students.

- Robert Pearson.
- Robert?

I hope you're here
to tell me he's dead.

- Today is your lucky day.
- Why do you wish him
to be dead?

Because he is the one who broke
this ankle and set my career
back three years.

You-You want me to break down
and cry because Robert's dead?

People die.
Bad things happen.

Oh, so you blame Robert
for breaking your ankle?Yes.

An accident not too different
from what you saw today.

But I'll be just fine
in six months.

Your gait and the contour
of your ankle...

indicate that you've suffered
compound fractures...

to the medial
and the lateral malleolus.

Lateral "mallebious."
Well, that sounds
pretty serious, huh?

Well, she'll never be
able to properly execute
a fouetté again.

A career-ender, huh?

You don't seem
too surprised.

Doctors say things all the time.
It doesn't make it true.[ Booth ] Right.

Your dad owns a construction
company, right?Yeah. So?

So you must know your way
around a construction site
pretty well.

You know, Robert was just
found in a recently
completed site.

Okay, this-- this is crazy.
I could never kill anyone.

It's not crazy.
You know, people do this
all the time.

They get mad,
a little too mad.

I don't think it was actually
Robert's fault that you fell.

It-It was a pas de deux.
He dropped me.
That is not my fault.

Given your height, you are
well over the optimal weight
for ballerina.

It'd be difficult for anybody
to perform a proper pas de deux
with you.

Are you calling me fat?No, no.

For a member
of the general public,
you're actually quite thin.

- But by ballerina standards--
- You bitch!

Whoa, ho, ho.
Okay, temper, temper!

Look, if you're gonna charge me
with something, get on with it.

Otherwise, I have
a class to teach.

[ Arastoo ]
There are remodeled circular
microfractures on the skull.

So someone struck him
on the head with a twirling--

What twirls and is good
for hitting on the head?

Very thin cardboard
on asphalt?

So he left ballet to become
a spinning-on-his-head dancer.

Check this out.
Initial analysis of
the powdered bone dust...

revealed traces
of Blastomyces dermatitidis.

It's a fascinating fungus
that quite literally eats bone.

So that's what happened to
the rest of his skeleton?
A fungus ate it?

Where'd the fungus
come from?

- It must've been introduced
to the bone before he died.
- Ouch.

Well, it's bad for him,
but good for us.

I mean, the fungus
probably hitched a ride
on the murder weapon.

Now, check this out.
I crossed-checked the C.D.C.'s
infectious disease map...

for recent outbreaks
of the fungus in the area.

There was an outbreak
in Kalorama Park
about six months ago.

It fits the time frame.Kalorama Park's loaded
with street performers.

Perfect place for a guy
to spin on his head.Added twist--

as well as the fungus
in the bone dust, I found
flecks of bronze in his wounds.

So we'll tell Booth to keep
an eye out for a bronze murder
weapon in Kalorama Park.

We should talk to some
of the buskers, Booth.

Excuse me.
F.B.I. Special Agent Booth.

This here is, uh,
Dr. Temperance Brennan
from the Jeffersonian.

We just wanna ask you
a few questions.

We're just performing.
This isn't federal land.

The F.B.I. has no
jurisdiction over us.

All right, just simmer
down there, uh--

Beverly.Beverly.

We don't want to
take away from your, uh--
What did you call it?

Pure, unfettered
entertainment.Exactly.

We got off on
the wrong foot here.
I'm Johnny.

Johnny Wizard.
And this is Derrick.

Derrick here keeps
the park clean for us.

- Derrick.
- You might wanna take
better care of your watch.

- Gimme that back.
- Oh. That was very good.

How about this?

Look, Booth.Yeah. Look.
Hey, an ear flower.

Great. You guys
recognize this man?

Yeah, that's Robert.
Is he in trouble?

Robert is dead.

- Oh, no.
- Man, that's terrible.

I told you it was weird
he just disappeared like that.

Then why didn't you
report him missing?

Weird is just weird.
It's not suspicious.

We thought he went legit,
left us behind.

You and, uh, Robert have
a little thing there, Beverly?

Only business.
I played, he danced.

- What happened to him?
- Uh, that's what we're
investigating right now.

- When was the last time
you guys saw him?
- Six months ago.

I think this
would really suit you.

- That is my bracelet.
- No, I hate magic.
Hate magic.

- Did he have any enemies?
- Everybody loved Robert.

- What about Russell?
- [ Booth ] Who's Russell?

- [ Derrick ] They got into a
fight about prime dance spots.
- But they worked it out.

All right, well, listen,
if you hear of anything,
here's my card.

- Just give me a call.
- You got it.

Whoa, easy! Okay, you know,
it's a federal offense to steal
an F.B.I. agent's I.D.

I could shoot you if
I wanted to, you know that?
Shoot you.

Hodgins found bronze
particulates at the site.

[ Booth ]
Yeah, so?

This statue seems to be
made of bronze.

Perhaps some of those
sharp edges are responsible
for the injuries we discovered.

- Ohh!
- Whoa!

Mr. Milford,
I'm Dr. Lance Sweets.

I'm a psychologist.

And the reason
I'm talking to you...

is that every time
the F.B.I. agent I work with
asked you a question,

you spouted Shakespearean
verse at him.

He doesn't speak Shakespearean.

We found traces of bronze
on a murder victim.

Hmm. You're covered in bronze.

Uh, what I think is that
you suffer from an untreated
dissociative disorder,

wherein the only way
that you can communicate
is through Shakespeare.

So, um--

"An honest tale speeds best
being plainly told."

"Truth is truth
to the end of reckoning."

You're talkin'. Okay, uh,
regarding the homicide
of Robert Pearson,

"There is special providence
in the fall of a sparrow."

"By Isis, I will give thee
bloody teeth if thou with
Robert paragon again."

Oh, okay.
So you're saying that Robert
wasn't an innocent victim.

Right.

Uh, "But were we burdened
with like weight of pain,

as much or more
we should ourselves complain."

"This is the short
and long of it."Yeah.

"There is no honor
amongst thieves."

Oh, he's a thief.
What kind of thief was he?

"One may smile and smile
and be a villain."

"A cutpurse of the empire
and the rule,

that from a shelf
the precious diadem stole...

and put it in his pocket."

Robert Pearson was a thief,
a cutpurse.

That's a--
That's a pickpocket, right?

He-He worked with someone,

he betrayed him, and--

"Where the offense is,
let the great ax fall."

Hmm.

Well, "I can no other answer
make but thanks and thanks."

"How far that little candle
throws his beam,

so shines a good deed
in a naughty world."

Well, thank you.

There are nicks to the right
tibia, femur and ilium,

the back of the 10th rib
on the left side,

the left transverse process
of the T6 and the right scapula.

These marks are congruent
with impaling.

- But none suggest
cause of death.
- Maybe he bled out.

The bronze particulates I found
didn't come from the paint on
the Shakespearean loony-tunes.

Where did they
come from?I don't know.

Maybe a pipe.

That was helpful.

I discern from your tone
that you mean the opposite
of what you're saying.

Which is the very
definition of irony.

This is the construction site
before the concrete was poured.

And this is rebar.

Now over that is a layer
of plastic sheeting.

It appears that the victim
was pushed or fell
from this spot.

How high is that?Just shy of three meters.

And he was impaled here.

[ Saroyan ]
But his skull
was found over there.

Yeah, the body
was yanked off the rebar
and dragged over there.

The plastic sheeting was sliced,
and the body was shoved
underneath.

So the corpse decomposed under
the plastic for four months
before the concrete was poured?

The construction company went
bust, and the whole area was
fenced off for several months.

And then another company came in
and bought the project
and poured the foundation.

Now the concrete
lifted the skull through
the slit in the plastic,

and the rest of the bones
dissolved from Hodgins's fungus.

This guy was impaled.
So how did nobody notice
the blood for four months?

Black plastic and rusty rebar
from a distance--
practically impossible.

Can all of the nicks
on the bones be explained
by the rebar?

Yeah, let me show you.

Okay, what's that?

That's a nick on his spine.

Okay, the wound on the right
transverse process of the T6...

does not line up with the rest
of the wounds from the rebar.

Well, it could
have been inflicted
before he fell on the rebar.

That one there.
It punctures his lung.

This is not only
cause of death,

it's the way Hodgins's fungus
was introduced
into the bone marrow.

[ Booth ]
So, you remember
these entertainers...

fight over
the best spots, right?Yes.

Okay, so who had
the most to gain from
Robert Pearson leaving?

The other dancer,
Russell Leonard.

Yeah, so with Robert gone,
Russell's the only dancer.

Robert's death
doubled his income.Is that all you got?

Because if we're looking for
a pickpocket, that magician
makes a good suspect.

Uh, uh, uh.
Magician's record's
totally clean.

Russell was arrested
two months ago...

for threatening another dancer
with a sharpened screwdriver.

The murder weapon,
as described by Cam and Angela,

could very well be
a sharpened screwdriver...

tipped with
a bone-eating fungus.

Bone-eating fungus, huh?

Hmm. Sometimes you say things
that sound crazy in a really
totally serious tone of voice.

Perhaps.

that you have no bones.

-And I am an expert on bones.
So I find that very impressive.
-[ Cell Phone Rings ]

Well, thank you.
I'll take that as
a great compliment...

while being intimidated
by law enforcement.Booth.

Yeah, uh, h-hold on.
Hey, guys, over here.
Uh, I'm on my way.

- Booth, what's wrong?
- I-I gotta go.
Hannah's been shot.

Don't worry, Seeley.
I'm fine.

You got shot, Hannah.
You're not fine.

I've been shot before.
So have you, right?

It's not like you build up an
immunity to gunshot wounds. You
should have taken me with you.

Stop.

If I'm there with
an F.B.I. guy, I don't get
my story. You know that.

Did you see the shooter?Why?

You gonna go after him?Yeah, I am.

They pulled a .38 slug
out of my leg.

A cop gun.When I was shot,

I was talkin' to a dealer...

who was telling me
about cops moving drugs
in his neighborhood.

In my experience,

things are not
that coincidental.

So you're not gonna
lose your job here, are you?

I mean, your editor's
not gonna can you?

No. I'm shot.
I'm pretty.

Suddenly, he thinks
it's a pretty good story.

I looked at your X-rays.

Yeah, well, the doctor said
it was nothing. I should be
out in the morning.

- That's a very bad idea.
- Why?

Because Hannah has suffered
a hairline avulsion fracture
of the femur.

The doctor said it was
a little nick on the bone.

An avulsion fracture is caused
when a tendon or ligament
pulls off a piece of bone.

If you stressed your leg
incorrectly,

the tendon could pull
that shard of bone out
farther than it already is...

and sever the femoral artery.

You'd bleed out and die before
anyone knew what had happened.

You sure?

I'll talk to the chief
surgical resident.

I believe he'll want to
operate on you this evening.

So, basically,

you saved my life.

Bones.

Thanks.

Any evidence
on the screwdriver?

Well, I pulled all of this,
so I know he used
the screwdriver...

to open beer, scrape dog
excrement off the bottom
of a shoe, stir coffee.

Hopefully, not in that order.It's been six months.

There's not much chance that the
fungus would still be evident
on a smooth metal surface.

So what now?Now it's time
to go to the source.

The C.D.C. reported
three more cases...

of Blastomyces dermatitidis
linked to Kalorama Park.

Which would tie the dancer
to the murder.

Ah, beats cultural
anthropology, don't it?[ Chuckles ]

Oh, Agent Booth.
No, you should
be with Hannah.

Dr. Brennan and I can
conduct the interrogation.

Bones said the operation
was routine.

It's a simple procedure, yes.And we have a case to work.

Okay.
Uh, you're obviously upset,
and that's understandable.

I'm not upset, okay?
I am just doing my job.

Something is happening here,
and I'm not sure what it is.

Well, Agent Booth had a scare.
Someone very close to him
could have died.

And now he's
obviously in denial.

I'm close with Booth
and am frequently
in life-threatening situations.

But we persevere.See that, Sweets?
Not in denial. I'm persevering.

Yep.Persevering.

That's right.All right.

[ Booth ]
You got two assault
charges here, okay?

One where you threatened someone
with a screwdriver.

That was self-defense.
The charges were dropped.

The petty theft charge
wasn't dropped.I stole a sandwich.

I was hungry.
I spent five days
locked up.

I'm sure they can think
of better ways to spend
the taxpayers' money.

Why don't you
tell us about you
and your friend Robert.

Look, when Robert came
to the park, he was broke.

I showed him the ropes, told
him what kind of moves would
bring him the biggest crowds.

- Then in a couple weeks, he was
making more money than you.
- That must have pissed you off.

No. I mean, I was--
I was jealous, okay.

But Robert and me,
we were friends.

Your screwdriver is a good match
for the murder weapon.

If you're such great friends,
why didn't you report him
missing?

I work the streets.
People come and go.
That's the way it is.

People in streets, they also
don't like it when someone takes
money they think is theirs.

Okay, I get where this is goin'.
So you've already decided
that I'm guilty.

I want a lawyer.

These wrappers are from
the vendor who sells chicken.
They're clean.

So far, none of the food stalls
show any kind of evidence
of fungus.

Well, I thought if you use
a screwdriver to open up cans,
maybe food got on it too.

Well, look at the bright side.
Now we can eat this pad thai.

- Does look delicious.
- [ Chuckles ]

Hey, there's definitely some
kind of eukaryotic organism...

growing on this.

These trash bags,
they all come from
the restroom, huh?

This is not how I imagined
spending my day.

Do me a favor? Separate all
the trash bags from the restroom
from the others.

Working on two degrees,
and this is where I end up.

Tuition money
well spent.

Hey, hey, hey.
Blastomyces dermatitidis.

All right.
The park janitor
collected what we needed.

[ Arastoo ]
Look what else he has.

We just found
the murder weapon.

It's possible that this
was the murder weapon.

- Okay.
- Would you be happier
if I said...

it was probable
it was the murder weapon
instead of possible?

Sometimes decreasing the
probabilities makes it tougher
to identify the murderer.

You mean, we know what,
when and how,

but we have no evidence tying
this weapon to a specific who.

Really, it could be anybody.
But it's good that
we found the weapon.

Wait, it seems the murderer
chased the victim
through the park.

Booth would wanna know why.

Shakespeare said the victim
was a pickpocket.

Maybe one of his angry marks
caught him at it.

Okay. So, the angry mark
grabs the trash picker...

and catches up to the victim
at the construction site.

Stabs him in the back,
tosses him
into the foundation.

Then slits the plastic
and shoves his body beneath it.

I know what
you're thinking.

We already looked
for the fingerprints on
the plastic where it was cut.

It's all degraded
and smeared from the blood.

The forensic team
found nothing usable.

No, no. Cam, along the slit
was the wrong place to look.

What is she doing?

Dr. Hodgins, would you come
over here and be a corpse?

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah.

[ Angela ]
Sweetie, y-you do mean
"pretend" to be a corpse, right?

'Cause the way you're holding
that knife, you're looking
a little "slashery."

No, this knife
is not for Dr. Hodgins.

Now, the curve in the slit
suggests...

that the murderer held
the knife in his right hand.

And the slash extended
1.5 meters, performed
in one smooth movement.

Just careful where you're goin'
with that razor-sharp blade
there.

- Whoa!
- [ Thud ]

There.

There.[ Saroyan ]
Uh, there?

What there?Right.

She supported her weight
with her left hand.

So she left a full palm print
on the plastic.

How do you get
a six-month-old
palm print...

off a piece of plastic
that's encased in concrete?

I need some gold.

[ Hannah ]
Did you catch the murderer?

Well, technically,
attempted murderer,
since you survived.

I meant the dancer-killer,
not the journalist-shooter.

We'll catch him.
Don't worry.

Then we'll catch
whoever did this to you.

Ten bucks says
I catch him before you do.

Ha! I'm not a betting man.
But if I was, I'd definitely
raise the stakes.

Obviously, whoever shot me
is a cop who's afraid
of getting caught.

I think you
should back off.

You gotta be kidding?What?

No. At least until
you get your health back.

Then we can lull him into
a false sense of security.

We catch him together.

Could you please lean in?

Closer.

A little closer.

Within lip reach.

Thank you for being
my big scary protector.

[ Growls ]

Now, the process is called
vacuum metal deposition.

Well, this looks like
a popcorn machine.

Now gold will bind with
the lipids from fingerprints
at an atomic level.

Now this technique involves
coating a thin layer...

- of thermalized metallic dust
onto the evidence.
- It has to be gold?

Well, yeah. Gold conducts
electricity better than
any other noncorrosive metal.

What, did you have to pay
for it yourself?

Just go. Do.

Okay, here goes the gold.

Now evaporated zinc
will only condense onto metal.

Since the gold has bonded
with the fingerprints,

there's more metal in the print
than the rest of the sample.

Voilà.

It worked.Thank goodness.

- Oh.
- What?

[ Angela ]
That is not the maintenance guy
from the park's handprint.

- How do you know?
- [ Saroyan ]
It's too small. It's a child.

Or a woman.

What if the other one
doesn't drink anything?

We turn the air-conditioning
up in the room, suck all
the moisture out of it.

So which one
do you think it is?

I have no idea.

Think of it as a game,
all right? Take a guess.

Just between the two of us.
No one's gonna hear you.
Go ahead. Guess, guess, guess.

Well, the ballet teacher
seems very mean and vindictive.

Plus, she's deceptively strong.

And she's not afraid
to be violent.

Mmm. Sorry. Wrong.How do you know?

I went through all
the police reports of
the pickpocket incidents...

that happened
out at Kalorama Park.

What did that tell you?

That not one incident
out of dozens...

ever occurred while
Beverly Houle or Robert Pearson
were performing.

So they were the team
that Sweets heard about
from the Shakespeare statue.

He cheated her.She chased him
with the garbage picker,

stuck him in the back--
end of story.Yeah.

But when a woman kills a man,
it's never just about
the money.

You're implying there was some
kind of sexual tension involved.

Right. When
that goes south,
all bets are off.

There's no honor amongst
thieves or ex-lovers.

Yeah.

That's it. Show time.

[ Booth ]
Hmm?

Busted.

Her body language
doesn't prove anything.

Well, we have different
definitions for that.
That's for sure.

That's why nobody
can thwart our
criminological brilliance.

Did you read that off of
a restaurant place mat?

Comic book. I'm on
a self-improvement kick,
all right?

[ Knocking ]

Temperance.

Come on in.

How do you feel?

I'm alive.

Thanks to you.

Hey, where's my gift?

Excuse me?

Listen, I get it.

You saved my life,
and I'm very grateful.

But traditionally,
when you come to visit someone
in the hospital, you bear gifts.

Well, that custom
began as a replacement
for religious sacrifice.

As a way to get the gods to
take mercy on a sick person.

Yes. But I don't
believe in that.

So--But you do believe
in cultural traditions?

Of course. But--

So, since I'm not above
a little supplication
every once in a while,

maybe you should give me
your sunglasses?

[ Chuckles ]
Seriously?Sure.

Okay.

There you go.Thank you.

Perhaps you should be more
careful in what stories
you pursue in the future.

Why?

Booth would be very unhappy
if you died.

Would you back down, Temperance,
if you thought you were working
on something important?

No.
[ Chuckles ]

No, I wouldn't.
[ Chuckles ]

Well, aren't we a pair?

[ Chuckles ]

I guess Seeley's gonna have to
resign himself to being worried
as long as we're both around.

We are.
We are quite a pair.

[ Both Laughing ]They look good
on you.

What's that mean?
