[ Baby Crying ]

[ Woman Screams ]Okay.

She's six and a half
centimeters. It should
be a matter of minutes.

Paul, I should go.
I don't think
we're gonna make dinner.

She's almost done.It's really late.

Right.And I've been waiting
for five hours.

[ Cell Phone Rings ]We can go to breakfast. There's
a place around the corner...

makes the best
French toast.I really have to go.

You'll miss
the miracle of birth.

Death's calling
on the other line.

Uh, coffee,
later today, 3:00?

Think you can get away?

I will.
I'll clear the afternoon.

Okay.

[ Woman ]
Get this baby out of me!
[ Screams ]

Neechie, uh--
Neechie what?Nixtamalization.

The traditional Aztec method
used to prepare kernels
for consumption.

Maize was a very important
aspect of Mesoamerican life.

Where are we?I have no idea.

- I should've brought the G.P.S.
- Or a periscope.

Here, you can be the periscope.

No, thanks.

You wanna be the guy
holding the periscope?

[ Grunts ]
What do you see?

Everything. This height
is extremely advantageous.

Do you see the crime scene?

Yes. The crime scene
is over there.

- [ Saroyan ]
Here they come.
- [ Booth ] I hear Cam.

Cam?Yeah.

Cam? There you are.
I thought we were lost.

This crime scene
is very remote.And the corn is creepy.

It is, right?
For a vegetable.
Or is it a grain?

Maize is actually a grass.

- Why are you so dressed up?
- Paul and I were headed
to dinner...

when one of his patients
went into labor...

and one of mine
turned up in a cornfield.

Ooh, bummer.Yeah.

Nobody's touched it.
I was waiting for you.

The state of decomposition...

and the height of the plants
beneath the body suggests
some passage of time.

Well, what do they say
about corn? Knee high
by the Fourth of July?

- [ Booth ]
How would you know?
- I did Oklahomain high school.

With the dry weather
we've been having, I'd say
he's been dead maybe four weeks.

Victim is male, early 40s.

And judging by his clothes,
he was here to work.
Any ideas about cause of death?

Oh. There we go.

This is a homicide.
Evidence of a bullet wound
to the sternum.

Gladiolus and the true ribs.

Right. See a bullet in there?

No. I don't see
the exit wound clearly.

Looks like the muzzle of the gun
was held in intermediate
proximity, close to the chest.

Well, there's gotta be
a bullet around here somewhere.

[ Thunder Rumbles ]Uh, that was thunder.

Yeah.There's lots to do.

Let's pull some soil samples
and get outta these guys' way.

-Are you prepared
to remove the body?
-Yeah. I got the bag right here.

Forget about the bag.
You need a tarp now. This is
about to turn into Woodstock.

Oh, uh, which way is the car?

I have no idea.
We didn't anticipate rain.

Yeah. You never know.
Whoa! [ Thunderclap ]

[ Saroyan ]
Let's cover him up
before he's soup.

You got off easy, kid.
Mother Nature
cleaned these bones.

She did a crappy job.Shh!

[ Whispers ]
She can hear you.

We bagged the body
before the hard stuff came down,

but five minutes later
it was a mud bath.

Man, why do I always
miss the fun?

Something has been
snacking on this guy.

A rodent with large incisors.

Muskrats. The farmer
who owns the land said
he's been having a problem.

Well, did he by any chance
shoot at them?

I don't think so.
He has severe
rheumatoid arthritis.

Oh.

Look at this, Dr. Saroyan.

I see a tangential entry wound,
but no radiating fractures.

[ Saroyan ] It's consistent
with a close-range shot.
What's the diameter?

15.89.

Which could be anything
between a nine-millimeter
and a .38.

Has Agent Booth
found the bullet?

Last I heard, F.B.I.
has a team out looking.Hmm.

I'll check on the progress.

"Not yet" is not an answer,
all right? So just keep looking.

Right.

What are you doing here?Any luck
with the bullet?

You know, they're changing
the expression from, uh,

needle in a haystack
to bullet in a cornfield.

Well, let me know
as soon as you can.

Ballistics
gets backed up
this time of year.

Right.

You know what it means
if we don't find it.

- The guy wasn't killed
in the cornfield.
- That's it.

Yeah. So, why are you
here again?

To be honest, Seeley, I--
[ Clears Throat ]

I want your opinion
about something
personal.

Oh.

This is about your boyfriend.

Ah, Paul's not my boyfriend.

We just see each other
once in a while.

And every time we do,

somebody's water breaks
and he's gotta go.

That's not his fault.

He shares this practice
with six doctors.

- He chooses to be this busy.
- You like this guy.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. Okay, look. Then
it's all about communication.

You just gotta
give this guy a chance.

But I feel like I have.
How many chances
does he deserve?

Nine.

- That's cats.
- Applies to men and cats.

All right. So listen.

All I'm saying is
you deserve someone great.

And if you feel as though
this guy is the one,

then don't let him get away.

[ Brennan ]
This doesn't make any sense.

A clay shoveler's fracture
at the C7...

indicates a life
of hard labor,

but anterior wedging
of the mid vertebrae...

suggests that a great deal
of time...

was spent in a seated position.

He baled hay
and drove a tractor.

But look at
the muscle attachments.

Hmm. A result
of repetitive motion?Yes.

And there appear to be
stress fractures forming
at the radiocarpal joints.

It's as if this man spent
a great deal of time supporting
his weight on his hands...

while engaging
in a repetitive motion.

I get it.

This motion would be reminiscent
of a primate having intercourse.

We are looking for
a horny farmer.
Yes, we are.

[ Rings ]It's Booth.
Brennan.

[ Booth ]
Ed Samuel, 41.

He rents farm equipment
in the area where
the body was found.

He went missing
about a month ago.

He was wearing
a plaid shirt, blue jeans.

That sounds consistent.

We'll need to confirm
with dental records.

Ask if he was horny.

Oh, uh, was he promiscuous?

I don't know.
His wife Maryann's
at home right now.

Okay, I'm gonna
come pick you up.Okay.

[ Booth ] I mean,
what difference does it make
if he was promiscuous?

[ Brennan ] The evidence seems
to indicate that the victim
spent a lot of time copulating.

These are my children
and my, um, father, Dan,

and my sisters
Beth and Carol.How do you do?

F.B.I. Special Agent Booth.

This here is my partner,
Dr. Temperance Brennan.

I'm very sorry
for your loss.Thank you.

And thank you for coming.

Hey, kids.
Let's go to the park,
huh? Let's go.

Can we--Oh, sure.

Do you mind
if my sisters stay?

Of course not.
So, tell us about
your husband, Ed.

Uh, well, he was raised
right here in town.

He always farmed
his parents' land.

And when I was pregnant
with our first son,

he started
the equipment rental business
to help make ends meet.

How many children
do you have?

Eleven. We always wanted
a big family.

Ed must've enjoyed having sex
with a pregnant partner.

I can tell how much time
he spent copulating.

So the night
that Ed disappeared?

It was just any other night.
We were here making dinner
with the kids,

and, um, he just
never came home.

Eventually
we called the police.

Any reason to believe
why somebody would want
to hurt your husband?

No. Everybody loved Ed.

So, do you or your husband
own a gun?

Yes, we do. Uh, Ed liked
to keep one for protection.

It's in the bedroom.

I can show you to the bedroom.
This way.

[ Chattering ]

Hey. Check out
this Solanum tuberosum.

Why are you walking like that?

Like what?

Slow.
You usually walk fast.

Just thinkin'.

Ah, that's her pensive walk.

Care to share
what you're "pensing" about?

Oh, nothing.

Life.

You have a life?
[ Chuckles ][ Chuckles ]

No, Dr. Hodgins.
I don't.

Is everything okay?

Everything's fine.

What's this about
potato particulates
in our cornfield?

Ah, not in the cornfield.
I found them in the chest wound.

Lots of 'em.Uh, and look what I found
on his shirt.

They're called,
uh, anthers.

It's the pollen-bearing part
of certain flower stamens.

Corn flower
or potato flower?Neither.

We're talking about
a whole other plant entirely.

This victim-- he was like
a full-blown salad
of plant particulates.

Then you should be
a happy man.There's no one happier.

You see, Dr. Saroyan? It's okay.
No one has a life around here.
[ Chuckles ]

Are any of the children
the result of multiple birth?

No.

They're congenitally deformed.

Why would you say such a thing?

Cranial proportion indicates
that all of these subjects...

are less than 18 months old.

Divided by average
human gestation and--

They have small heads, Bones.
They look very cooperative
in that picture.

I mean, someone takes a picture
of my kid, he hits 'em.

The children are a blessing.

Here's his gun.
He doesn't use it.
It's just for protection.

Does he have any bullets?

I don't see any,
but I will go to the closet
in the other room and check.

Great.

The small heads.They're statistically
impossible.

But you don't just say--[ Ringing ]

Who's that?Oh, it's Cam.
Hey, what's up?

If it helps,
Hodgins found potato
particulates in the wound.

Oh, they used a potato
as a silencer.

Is there a pillow shortage
in Virginia?

I don't know.
It's a country thing. Shoot
through a potato. I gotta go.

- [ Cell Phone Beeps ]
- This is all we've got.

All right. Thanks.
Do you know anyone who farms
potatoes by any chance?

I suppose some people do.
Um, our family photos
are private.

Not during a murder case.

I understand your secrecy.
You must face great stigma
in the United States.

- Bones, we should go.
- I understand the practicality.

I studied a similar tribe
in Papua New Guinea.
I take it back.

Those children
are not deformed, Booth.

Bones.They--
[ Clears Throat ]

Let's just-- I'm sorry.
Let's go.

They have
three different mothers.

Look. Ed and Maryann.

Ed and Beth.

Ed was married
to both of you?

And Carol.

These women
aren't just sisters.
They're sister-wives.

American polygamy's
primarily limited
to one tradition.

Uh, these people
are Fundamentalist
Latter-Day Saints.

Mormons.No. They're not sanctioned
by the mainstream church.

Mormons abandoned
the practice of plural
marriage a long time ago.

- How do you know
about this, Sweets?
- College paper.

No. Television.

The mainstream media
depicts plural marriage...

as if it were the, uh,
proverbial bug in a jar.

That's just pretty strange,
if you ask me.

Was Ed Samuel legally married
to all three sisters?

One. The other two were married
in a religious ceremony.

That's how he stayed
out of jail.

Then it's merely
a personal choice.

Polygamy is a viable response to
many socioeconomic conditions.

- Really? How so?
- Well, I can see
why a man might fantasize.

Sweets, didn't ask you.

- Bones, go ahead. How so?
- For instance,
in ancient China,

the male-to-female ratio
was skewed.

We're talking about
Virginia here. Okay?
Ratio is just fine.

Swingers.
These guys were swingers.

Swingers are, by definition,
couples who, with permission--

Just stop, all right?
I'm saying is that,

you know, multiple marriages--
great motive for murder.

- You're applying your own bias.
- No, actually, I agree with
Agent Booth on this one.

Thank you.You're welcome.

Polygamy may make sense
anthropologically,

but jealousy is
a very powerful emotion.

Free love taught us one thing--
open relationships
don't necessarily work.

- I mean, did these women
claim to be happy?
- They said they were.

Did they have alibis?

They were at home,
shouldering their
economic burden communally.

Right. Clipping coupons.
You know what I should do?

I should call
the sisters' dad-- Dan Lambertt.
How could he be cool with this?

That's a good place
to start.

[ Moaning ]I'm right behind you.

Thanks.

- Cam.
- What's up? We still on
for that coffee?

I can't. I'm sorry.
I hate to jerk you around
like this.

No. I get it.

I told this woman
to stay off the trampoline.

You do what you gotta do.
We've all got responsibilities.

All right.
Listen, uh,

when I say tomorrow,
I mean tomorrow.

I promise.Talk to you then.
Safe delivery.

That gun looks nice.

Dr. Lidner,
she's crowning.Yeah.

Honestly,
I thought my girls
were out of their minds.

But you spoke with Ed
on a regular basis
for years.

Ed and Maryann met at church
when they were teenagers.

His family, our family--
all of us attended
the same place.

Right. That, uh--
Let's see. That Mormon
church up at Balding?

Yeah. I thought
he was good for her.

I couldn't have been happier
when they got married.

Then a few years later,
he comes to me,

wants to take Beth
as his second wife...

in some ceremony, with
Maryann standin' right there.

[ Scoffs ]

- Says it was Maryann's idea.
- Well, what'd you say?

I was shocked.

I mean, I-I-- The girls
had always been close,
but like this--

-They said it was
what they wanted.
-So you just went along with it?

It's not my business
to make life harder on my kids.

- Where were you the night
that Ed disappeared?
- At work.

I'm retired,
but I still take some shifts
at the hardware store.

You know, your daughters-- they
haven't really been forthcoming
about their situation.

I'm sure they weren't.

They don't have it easy
around here, Agent Booth.

My girls don't deserve this.

Neither did Ed.
No one should've had a problem.

Who had a problem?

A lot of people.
You talk to Pete Mill?

Who's Pete Mill?He owns that pecan orchard
up the road.

A month ago, someone...

scratched "Plig"
on the hood of Beth's car
and bashed out the windshield.

Hmm. Plig.

It's, uh, derogatory
for "polygamist."Right.

You think he's the one
who did this?I know he did.

So, Mr. Lambertt, you--
Do you own any guns?

Yeah, a few for hunting.

You can take 'em.
Take 'em all.

Oh, that poor man.

Three. Andthey're sisters.

I heard you the first time.But they don't engage in sexual
intercourse in a group setting.

Rather, they keep
a strict calendar.

Why would one man
even want three wives?

Well, with three wives,
he can produce 11 children
in eight years.

I guess more people
to do dishes.

- [ Angela ]
Wh-What is she doing?
- What are you doing?

Shooting a gun
into this big tank.

It's homicide season.
The F.B.I. ballistics lab
gets all backed up.

But you can't run ballistics.
We haven't recovered
the bullet yet.

Well, when they do,
I'll be ready.

Is it safe to shoot
in the lab?

Probably not.
Uh, can you stand
behind the line?

- Can I do it?
- No.

You go look at some bones
and take some ear protection
with you.

This gun is mine.

Fire in the hole![ Gunshot ]

[ Shouting ]
Have you made any progress
with the mandible?

I can hear you.

What's wrong
with Dr. Saroyan?

[ Shouting ]
It's likely she's
experiencing sexual frustra--

But Cam is
a very private person.

The mandible.
I don't know what
caused the condition,

but I've ruled out cancer
and pesticides.

I also--[ Gunshot ]

I also found
a perimortem bruise
on the pelvis,

specifically
the frontal curve
of the right iliac crest.

And look at this.

There are particulates
embedded in the exit wound.

Look at the posterior aspect
of the seventh rib.

A result of blowback.

The bullet struck
a hard surface upon exit,

causing the particulates
to propel backward.

That's correct.[ Gunshot ]

Who let Cam shoot a gun?

The Second Amendment.
[ Chuckles ]

- What's that?
- That is the answer
to our anthers.

Behold the catkin.

It's a cylindrical bud cluster
found on several
flowering plants.

In this case,
the Carya illinoinensis,

otherwise known
as the pecan tree.

Wait. This flower
is from a pecan tree?

It certainly is.

[ Gunshot ][ Sharp Inhale ]

[ Gunshots ]

Hey. Pete Mill, right?

You own Mill's Pecans,

an orchard near the field
where the body was found?

I don't know
anything about that.

You don't know
if you farm pecans?

I farm pecans.

I don't know nothin'
about no dead body.

It's a small community.

Can't deny
that you knew the victim.

He wasn't a friend
or nothin'.

- I just knew him.
- But you didn't like him.

You know what
his deal was, right?

- He was a polygamist.
- Pervert, I call it.

He was livin' in sin,
defying the laws of nature.

And it was your job
to let him know, right?

Tell me about the car.What car?

You scratched a word on the hood
of Beth Samuel's car. "P-L-I-G."

That's it.
I need a lawyer.

Work with me here, Pete. Nobody
cares that you keyed a car,

but you don't wanna go down
for murder if you didn't do it.

Son, I believe
in family values.

Marrying three girls
from the same family
ain't right.

Amen. Did you kill him?

The sanctity of
the institution of marriage
is everyone's business.

Marriage should be between
one man and one woman.

Not two boys.
Not a cow and a frog, or--

Actually, you may need
that lawyer.

Do you own any guns,
Mr. Mill?

Yeah. An old .22.

Okay.And a new .22.

Granddad's revolver,
new shotgun,

old shotguns,
rifles, pistols.

You name it.

[ Booth On Phone ]
I sent over the guns
from all our suspects.

I see.
Over there, guys.
Find the bullet yet?

No. It's officially
not there. So,

we know the body was moved,
and we have no idea
where he was killed.

That's right. Okay.

I'll get to work.
I've got nothin' else
to do tonight.

What, you don't have
a date with the doc?

He canceled this afternoon.
I'm starting to feel
like a sap.

Oh, come on. You've been called
a lot of things, but sappy
is definitely not one of 'em.

Hey, Seeley, I was thinking.
I have a theory about this case.

- All right. Go ahead. Shoot.
- Why do people
kill other people?

Money. Jealousy. Love.

Bingo.

[ Booth ] Okay. Look. There's
no way that all three women were
okay being in King Ed's harem.

- [ Brennan ]
How do you know?
- I just know.

I don't have to tell you
about plural marriage
in the Bible.

Okay, that's the Old Testament.

Both testaments reference it
without fanfare. It was a given.Wow.

You know what?
That was a long time ago.
No need to take it so literally.

You believe that Jesus
walked on water.

We really don't need to have
this argument right now.

Who are you to choose
what should be taken
literally in a sacred text?

You can't have it both ways.Exactly my point.

You pick a wife,
and you go with it.History suggests...

that monogamy would only
guarantee extinction,
not happiness.

Right. Well, history is wrong.[ Cell Phone Rings ]

That's all I can say.
Wrongo, wrongo.

Booth.

Right.
Thank you.

[ Cell Phone Beeps ]

You're about to say something
that supports your argument.

Hmm? Well, Maryann Samuel,

better known
as contestant number one,

filed for divorce
from her husband six weeks ago.

How is that for happiness?

Ahhh.

I know I should have
told you.

Right. Well, you do know
that it's illegal...

to withhold information
during the course of
a federal investigation.

It makes you look
really guilty.I'm sorry.

I haven't even been
honest with my sisters
about the divorce.

Really? [ Chuckles ]
You don't say, 'cause, you know,
I thought you shared everything.

Not yet. I didn't
want them to be hurt.

I-- Ed was still trying
to talk me out of it.

Okay, you do realize
this looks more and more
like a motive for murder.

Well, it's not.

I know it's hard
for you to understand
why we live the way we do.

It is our religious belief.

You're right.
You're absolutely right.
I don't understand.

I just wanted
to look after my sisters.

I didn't mind sharing Ed,
as long as it was with them.

All right. You cited
"irreconcilable differences."
Can you be more specific?

What? You wanted to sleep with
Ed on Wednesdays and Fridays...

instead of Tuesdays
and Thursdays?

No.

Ed was having an affair.

Hey.Hey.

What are those?They're particulates
from the blowback...

that were lodged in the victim
after he was shot.

That wasn't clear at all,
was it?I stopped listening.

Okay.
After he was shot, right,

the bullet went through him,

and then it hit the wall
or something,

and then the debris
blew back and lodged
into his spine.

Was that any clearer?

I don't know, honey.
I stopped listening.

The baby was moving.

Man.

I'm so jealous
that I don't get
to feel him yet.

Oh, don't be upset.
It's only the most
amazing thing in the world.

[ Gasps ]
You're so cruel.

You know,
with this baby coming,
we could, uh--

we could really use
another wife.Really?

You want me
to marry another woman?

No, not you. Me.
I could use the help.

I'm gonna be like
a 24-hour restaurant.

I will be your slave.
You know that.

Would you want
another wife?

Truth?

[ Chuckles ]
Oh, I'm not sure.

If I could marry you twice,
I would do it in a heartbeat.

I wish we could
have sex at work.

Mm-hmm.

Really?Yeah.

It's this lab coat,
isn't it?

[ Hodgins ]
Ooh.

Well, they're organic.

Huh?

The particulates.
Some kind of plant.

Well, he was found
in a cornfield.

Yes, but this is not corn.

This baby's gonna be
so proud of me.

[ Cell Phone Ringing ]

Your phone is ringing.

Yeah. It's Paul.

- Oh, hot Dr.Paul?
- That's the one.

Uh-oh.
What did he do?

Nothing.

We're just two ships passing
in the night. I don't think
it's gonna work out.

Hmm.

He must've done something.No, he didn't.

Okay, he hasn't kept a date
in three weeks.

What is his excuse?

Women in labor.
No, it's a good excuse.
Don't get me wrong.

But I'm--
[ Sighs ]

I'm just starting to wonder
how much he cares for me.

I mean, best-case scenario,
he's a workaholic.

Well, then it's a match
made in heaven.If we ever saw each other.

Oh. I get it.

You're blowing him off
so he'll come crawling back.

No. That's not it at all.

Yes, it is.

I'm all for it.I'm way too old
to play that game.

This isn't a game.
You're Cam.
You don't wait around.

Go ahead
and make your plans.

And if they don't include him,
then he'll catch up.

Booth says
I need to communicate.

There's more than one way
to communicate.

Do you have a better strategy?

[ Sighs ]

[ Cell Phone Ringing ]

[ Angela ] So, due to
the presence of blowback
in and around the wound,

we know that the bullet
came into contact with
a hard object upon exit.

For instance,
the wall.

[ Angela ]
Well, we don't know that.
But let's say the wall.

Is that a plausible scenario?I think so.

Do we have
any more information
on the assailant?

Booth thinks it may be
the victim's first wife.

Is the representation
of the victim's height accurate?

Seems Maryann may be too short
to hold the gun comfortably.

No, the representation
is accurate.

I cracked this nut wide open.

How?The particulates we found in
the blowback are actually pecan.

We already know the victim
came into contact with
the flower of that same plant.

Yes, but I'm not
talking about
an ordinary pecan.

This pecan
has undergone a unique
digestive process...

rendering it into, for lack
of a better word, a rock.

A digested pecan.

What animal turns pecans
into rocks?

Good question.
When we find the answer,

there's where Booth will find
his magic bullet and thus,
the scene of the crime.

[ Angela ]
Let's see what happens
when I put him on the floor.

[ Brennan ]
Why did you
do that?

Well, what digested pecan
would be on the wall?

Good point.
It's far more likely
for feces to be on the floor.

There you are.
I found out why our victim
had a mush mouth.

Isotope results indicate
high levels of radium.

That's a bone-seeking isotope.

Someone was likely
trying to poison Ed Samuel.

Hmm.

[ Booth ]
He was poisoned?[ Brennan ] It makes sense.

His teeth and jaw clearly
suffered exposure over time.

He was drinking it.

That's the number one way
that wives off their husbands.

It is?Seems like it is.

But ultimately,
Ed Samuel was shot.

Well, after she got tired of
waiting around for him to keel
over on the dining room table.

- Which one do you think it was?
- I don't think the wives would
have access to radium salt.

Who would?The use of radium salt...

is limited to
scientific experimentation.

- All right. Would a college
laboratory have it?
- It's possible.

Possible. 'Cause Ed Samuel
was dating a grad student
in his spare time.

How'd you meet
Ed Samuel?

I tutor his son Jasper
in chemistry.

Ed brought him
to the lab on campus.

Were you aware Jasper
had three mommies?

No. I thought Maryann
was his mother.

She picked him up
once in a while.

So you slept
with her husband.Yeah.

I mean, I know it was wrong,
but really, it was no biggie.

No biggie.

What do you want?
I'm 22.

He bought me a really nice
used convertible.

How did you find out
about Beth and Carol?

When they showed up one night
while I was finishing up
an assignment for the next day.

All three of them.

But Maryann did
all the talking.What'd she say?

She was calling me a whore...

and said, like,
all this scary Bible stuff.

I ran out.

Now, do you have something
called, uh, radium salt
in your lab?

We used to.

We studied its use
as a fertilizer.

It has to be kept in
a special box lined with metal,
marked "radioactive."

What happened to it?

I don't know.
I went to look for it
the other day, and it was gone.

I should've called the cops.

[ Police Radio Chatter ]

Okay, so does anyone
want to speak up?

That's not ours.
At least it's not mine.No, it's not mine either.

Someone is trying to frame us.

I don't know
anything about it.

Well, we will soon.
They're testing for
fingerprints right now.

And since you all live here,
you can all be held
legally responsible.

It's mine.

Okay? I-It's mine.

Believe me, Agent Booth,
I did this alone. Maryann
and Beth knew nothing about it.

What were you thinking?She has always been
a troublemaker.

I thought inviting her
into the family would help.

If you were having problems,
there are other ways.

Like divorcing him secretly?

Really?
Now the truth comes out.

- Who was getting a divorce?
- I was.

I-I didn't want
to ruin your lives.
I was gonna tell you.

No, you weren't.
I saw the paperwork
in your trash two weeks ago.

- What were you doing
in my bathroom?
- I needed something.

- Ladies, please.
- No one is allowed
in anyone else's bathroom.

I admit it is fascinating
to watch a tight-knit group
fracture under pressure.

Yeah, that,
and they're dangerous.Right.

Okay, ladies.
Everybody, please.
Calm down.

Obviously
you've all been under
an enormous amount of stress.

Tell us exactly
what circumstances led you
to poison your husband.

We went to talk
to that Heather Lakefish,

and I saw the radium salt
right there.

But I didn't want to kill him.
I just wanted more time
with him.

I thought you kept
a strict schedule
to avoid complications.

We do. But we have different
responsibilities.

And when Ed is sick,
he stays with me.

I went to nursing school.

Oh. Then you know that
poisoning leads to death.

I-- I didn't
give him that much.

Just enough so I could
see him once in a while.
We never got to be alone.

They're always hovering.
They're jealous.

You are so ungrateful.

Well, at least
she tells the truth.

Okay, ladies. We're done.
All right? Carol, you're being
booked on attempted murder.

[ Maryann Gasps ]

I, uh, see
it's not a good time.

Paul. Uh, what are
you doing here?

You weren't
answering my calls.

Then again,
maybe you didn't hear them.

I got your message.
Messages.

- I should have called.
- [ Clears Throat ]
Excuse me. Hi.

Hi.Uh, Dr. Saroyan,

Dr. Hodgins is beginning
the feces project,
if you'd like to join?

How can you say no?

It can wait.
And can you come with me?

Yeah.

Um-- [ Clears Throat ]
I know why you're angry.

No, I'm not angry.

Okay. Maybe a little.

I have too many patients,
and they take up
too much of my time.

No. You're good
with your patients.
And it's not just you.

We're both strapped
to a schedule.

I just don't know
where that leaves us.

Hey. You don't want to start
catching babies, do you?

[ Chuckles ]

All right. Then we'll
come over here
and shoot guns.

Oh, I wish
it were that easy.

We can make it easy.

Cam, the reason
I came here...

at an incredibly
inconvenient time
for both of us...

is because
I had to say this.

I care about my job.

But I'm starting to realize
I care more about you.

I love being
with you, Cam.

I mean, you're brilliant
and gorgeous, and I think
about you all the time.

I-- I don't know what to say.

I don't want anything
to get in the way...

of this relationship, okay?

Not even the career I've
worked for my entire life.

You have responsibilities.

So do you.
But I have to prioritize.

And so do you.

Angela said
we're both workaholics.

A mother's intuition
kicking in.
She's right.

That's why I lied
to my patients.

Yeah. I told everyone
I'm going to Thailand
for my sister's wedding.

Paul!

Mmm. I made reservations
for dinner tonight...

at the Founding Fathers,

and I bought you a scarf.

I'm sorry.

I can't.
I have a murder to solve.

Then stand me up.
I'll feel better.
We'll be even.

8:00.
I'll be at the bar.

No, no, no.
Really, I can't, Paul.

But I will call you
next week.

I promise.

So that's a yes?

See you at 8:00.

What are you doing?I'm watching a live feed.

Peter Mill distributes
his surplus pecan crop...

as food for livestock
through a local co-op.

For sheep, pigs
and an ostrich?

Good God, man.
Did you go to college?

Is that an emu?Ah, that's better.

So you feed them pecans,

and then you plan
to retrieve their, uh--

Feces.

Right. To see which
animal's excrement...

best matches the evidence
found in the blowback.

Correct. Care to take
a field trip this afternoon?

I got two shovels.Oh, I-I-I can't.

I'm-- I'm busy.
You know.

Really? Busy, huh?

Yeah. I just--

Mm-hmm. Too busy
to go through feces?

This moron
was poisoned and shot.

I'm surprised he wasn't
stabbed and burned up too.

I think "moron"
is a little harsh
for someone...

who was merely living
a lifestyle you are
uncomfortable with.

How about
nitwit or doofus?[ Alarm Beeps ]

What was that?
What's goin' on?Oh, uh, adaptive cruise control.

When the Prius senses the car
ahead is too close,
it warns you and slows down.

Oh, right. So the car's
smarter than our victim.

Anthropologically, the victim--No, no, no. No.
No more anthropology.

You live with three women,
it's like a breeding ground
for revenge and violence.

You wanna know why?Because human beings...

are more complex than
anthropological tropes.

What might work
for one culture
is an anathema to another.

Wait.
Are you agreeing with me?No. No. No.

Yeah.I'm merely stating
what is currently accepted.

You're agreeing with me.
Yes, you are.

Only insofar as the victim
should have realized...

how complicated
his relationships would become
in our present culture.

In that case,
and in that case only,

he-- he was a--
he was a nitwit.
[ Laughs ]

He was a nitwit.Did you just laugh?

I did. I think I did.
I'm sorry.

Bones.It's wrong.
Because a man is dead.

That's right.
You're right.
It's sad.

Yeah.

[ Snickers ]
He was a bonehead.[ Laughs ]

I-- I like that term.
It's very appropriate
for my profession.

Right? Bones. Bonehead.Bone. Get it?

Do you get it?How about this? Ass hat.

The guy was a real ass hat.[ Laughs ]

Oh, we're terrible.I won't tell if you don't.

Ass hat.
[ Laughs ][ Laughs ]

Right. Right.
Okay. Right.

All right. So is Hodgins
any closer to finding out
about the pecan poop?

He's narrowing it down,
and it will tell us
where he was killed...

before he was moved
to the cornfield.

Poisoned, shot
and rolled in poo-poo.

[ Snickers ]Twit.

Chowderhead.

Numskull.

[ Laughs ]
We really are terrible.

We're terrible.We're bad.

Really terrible.Doofus.

[ Device Beeps ]They've arrested one of
Ed Samuel's sister-wives.

I heard.
But she wasn't
trying to kill him?

Only maim him.
We still don't know
the identity of the shooter.

What do you think
of this?

Angela asked me
to take a look,
but something's not right.

Did she check the figures
pertaining to the bullet's
angle and velocity?

They're accurate.

And placing the assailant
directly over the victim...

is consistent with the blowback
and the direction
of the beveling.

True. But why wouldn't
the victim get back up?

It takes two hands
to shoot someone
through a potato.

I see your point.
The kinesiology is questionable.

I'll need you to gather
all of the possible weapons...

and measure the length
of each barrel immediately.

Then prepare
full ballistics reports.

I don't--

I don't think so.Why not?

You don't need me tonight.Of course I do.

But it can wait, can't it?

I suppose.

It's important, but--

So is my love life.

I'm gonna go home
and get ready for a date.

See ya tomorrow.

[ Device Beeps ]

Where's she going?To have sex with Dr. Lidner.

Oh. Good for Dr. Saroyan.

I have an idea.
Please, lie down.

What?

Oh. One of these.

Okay. Ed Samuel
was a fairly large man.

What would the killer
have to do to subdue him?

Oh. Ah. Ow, ow.
The perimortem bruise
on the iliac crest.

One woman could not have
overcome this victim.

Are you talking about
multiple killers?

No. We found no evidence
to support that theory.

I believe this crime
was committed by one man.

[ Device Beeps ]A man who feeds turkeys.

Based upon?Are you two familiar with the
principles of aviary digestion?

- No.
- No.

In the simplest terms,

the digested pecan particulate
we found in the blowback...

is the result of intense
dehydration and compression,

thanks to the unique
gizzard structure
of the common turkey.

- Is there an uncommon turkey?
- Yes.

The oscillated turkey.
It lives solely
on the Yucatán Peninsula.

But assuming this crime
happened in Virginia--

I asked the co-op to provide
a list of who feeds turkeys
in the area. And take a look.

Dan Lambertt is on this list--
the victim's father-in-law.

Mm-hmm. Now, we go to where
he keeps his turkeys,
and I bet we find the bullet.

Found this gun

How could he do that

He was having an affair.
He was cheating on 'em.

Weren't three wives enough?

You understand, don't you,
Agent Booth?

You know why I did this.

That doesn't make it right.

I tried to talk
some sense into him.

He wouldn't listen.

Well, that doesn't give you
the right to take it in your
own hands and do what you did.

[ Sighs ]Hey.

Hey.Hi. Hey.

Hi, Cam.Hi, guys.

Well, you'll be
relieved to know
that we caught the killer.

Oh! Good.
Who-- Who did it?

The father of the sister-wives.

Wait. But isn't that
your prospective partner
over there?

It is. Hey, Doc.
[ Chuckles ]
Hey.

I am such a fool.Would you like to join us?

Oh, God, no.
I mean, no, no.
You guys can--

Yeah. I think
she wants to be alone.Oh.

[ Clears Throat ]

You look beautiful.

Thank you.
Well, a night off
can do wonders.

Yeah. It's nice, isn't it?

We should make it a habit.

Let me get your coat.

Wow. Is that my scarf?

Yeah.

[ Chuckles ]

Go ahead.

They make a nice couple,
don't they?Yeah, they do.

Should you call Hannah
and ask her to join us?

She enjoys drinking alcohol
very much.

Nah, she's working late,
you know.

Hey. Hey. Can we get
the usual here?

[ Man ]
Comin' up.

So, this case proves
that, um, two's company.

You were right.[ Chuckles ]

The Samuel wives
only appeared to be happy
with their arrangement.

Right. The one guy
who was happy ended up dead.

Do you think Ed Samuel
loved all of his wives equally?

No. Mm-mmm. He loved
the first one the most.

How do you know?The schedule.

But each week, each wife
was assigned two nights apiece.

And he spent
Sunday nights alone.

Well, he was supposed
to spend Sunday alone.

But he didn't?He went back
to the first one.

He did?Every Sunday.
That's what they said.

What does that mean?Well, it means, Bones,

that, you know,
you can love a lot of
people in this world,

but there's only one person
that you love the most.

Well, how do you know which
person you love the most...

when you're confused
by chemical messages...

traveling throughout
your limbic system?

You just do.

What if you let
that person get away?

That person's
not goin' anywhere.

We are a good team--
all of us.

The best.[ Chuckles ]

What's that mean?
