[ Man ]
I can't believe you forgot
your binoculars.

A lepidopterist
without binoculars is like
a day without sunshine.

Guess I was nervous
to meet you.

I've never done
the "online date" thing before.

[ Man ] There's
a Red-banded Hairstreak.
It's so beautiful.

Look what's next to it.

Right.
Another butterfly.

- Hackberry Emperor.
- Of course.

- Guess I'm just tired.
- You've only been at it
for a few hours.

When you e-mailed me and said
you were into butterflies,

it sounded romantic,
not like school.

- You're not really
a lepidopterist, are you?
- No, Gary.

I'm just a woman
looking for a man.

Oh.Yeah.

- And I brought a blanket.
- Fantastic!

Look at these.
Oh, look at these.

A swarm
of Silvery Checkerspots.Oh, my God.

This isromantic.

But you're gonna
remember this a lot more
than those butterflies, Gary.

[ Chuckles, Grunts ]
Yeah.

- They don't usually
swarm like this.
- Neither do I.

[ Screaming ]

I hate online dating.

[ People Chattering ]

[ Brennan ]
Partially skeletonized.
Ribs splayed open.

I have a feeling
this wasn't natural causes.

Animal or psycho?Probably.

The angle of the mandible
and the brow of the skull...

indicate a male
around 40 to 50,

judging by the wear
on the mandibular teeth.

Hey, what's-- what's with
all the butterflies? Chlosyne nycteis.

They're the Silvery Checkerspot,
indigenous to the area.

They're probably just
attracted by the remains.Whoa, whoa, wait.

Butterflies eat
dead people?Yeah.

Hey, they may look beautiful,

but they'll eat bird excrement
and aphid guts,

decomposing meat.

Oh. Right.

- What the hell?
- [ Sniffs ]

Something smells
like sulfur.

It's coming
from the remains.
It's-- [ Sniffs ]

- [ Sniffing ]
- I hate when you do that.

It's not a typical odor
associated with decomposition.
[ Sniffs ]

[ Bleating ]Who would leave
a goat out here?

Who cares about a goat, okay?
We're dealing with
a dead body here.

- Look, shouldn't
there be more blood?
- Yes.

It appears all of
the blood has been drained
from the victim's body.

I'm guessin' psycho.

[ Brennan ]
But look at the ribs, two
through six, on the left side.

- Bite marks.
- Cannibal?

No. I-It's not
human dentition.

- I'm confused.
- Me too. And I don't
like the feeling.

[ Bleating Continues ]

So the heart is gone?

Well, it's like
someone ate it right
out of his chest.

[ Hodgins ]
Wow.

The victim's right ankle has
a vertical transarticular pin...

that was surgically implanted
to fix a past fracture.

Could be
a helpful identifier.

Very good,
Mr. Nigel-Murray.

While I have your attention
and affection, there's something
that I'd like to say.

Can you speak while working?Of course.

As you may be aware,
I am currently participating
in Alcoholics Anonymous,

pursuant to my unfortunate
downward spiral in the aftermath
of my Jeopardy!win.

- Whoa.
- I had no idea you were in A.A.

Yes, well, as with
everything else, discretion
has been my watchword...

except when I was vomiting
into someone's hat.

- [ Groans ]
- These look like spiny bristles
from some kind of animal.

Oh, and the evidence
on the X-rays shows
bone damage on the ribs...

from long, fang-like teeth.

Oh. Maybe the heart
waseaten.

But anyway,
um, I'm currently
at step nine of 12,

which consists of me making
amends to those people that I've
harmed while I've been drinking.

Not necessary.
Don't even remember
being wronged.

I urinated
in your tadpole tank,
Dr. Hodgins.

- What?
- Mr. Nigel-Murray,
that's disgusting.

Of course.

Anyway, Dr. Hodgins,
I apologize.

Dr. Saroyan.No.

All I wanna hear
from you right now
are facts about this case.

Okay. At this point,
from all of the evidence...

that I've gathered
from the X-rays...

as well as the observable
evidence on the remains--

indicates that our victim
was killed by a cryptid.

- Cryptid?
- A creature yet unrecognized
by scientific consensus.

Of course!

Oh, no. You guys
aren't gonna start talking
about werewolves, are you?

Oh, no, no, no.
I would posit that
it was a chupacabra.

- [ Hodgins ] Oh!
- A spiny creature
the size of a bear.

Vicious, forked tongued,
with fangs easily capable of
biting out the victim's heart.

But no one has ever captured
or verified this chupacabra.

No, but reports show
that it sucks out
its victim's blood...

and leaves behind
the scent of sulfur.

And you found a goat
tethered to a stake there.

Chupacabra means
"goat-sucker."

So, for cause of death,
you want me to put down
"goat-sucker"?

Oh! What is that?

The murder victim's
stomach contents.

Wow. If you're hungry,
there's uneaten food
in the kitchen.

You're right. I'm sorry.

There's just something
about a pregnant woman
that precludes twisted humor.

What's up?

So, I looked
at the clothes that
our guy was wearing.

Apparently, he did not
scrimp on the duds.

Everything was brand-new.

It was like
he was wearing a costume.

So, maybe he wasn't really
an outdoorsman at all.

Oh, and guess what.
Vincent just apologized to me.

Oh, step number nine--
making amends.

Yeah. He apologized for using
my letter opener to clean
his fingernails.

Ugh!And for telling his entire darts
team that he slept with me.

Oh, my God!
What is with him?

He was drunk.Well, but still.

It's not like I'm gonna
run into his darts team.

Well, you are
a better person than I am.

Really? I'm not gonna forget
that you told me that.

[ Brennan ]
You identified
the victim how?

Well, no real hunter
goes out to the woods
in brand-new clothes, right?

So he had to be a tourist,

so I sent his description
to the hotels and lodges
in the area, and I got a hit.

Pine Tree Manor.Yeah.

They said they had a guest
by the name of Lee Coleman,

who disappeared
and left his stuff behind.

Lee Coleman.

TheLee Coleman.

Why do you keep saying his name
as if I should know him?

Lee Coleman.
Kill the Myth.

It's a TV show
on the Wilderness Network.

I've never seen it.Wow. Do you even own a TV?

Of course.
It's in the closet.

Naturally. Anyway, on the show,
Coleman would go out...

and he would debunk
different myths and legends.

You know, the Loch Ness monster,
the yeti,

psychic healers, yada yada.

I'm not familiar
with the yada-yada-yada myth,

but the rest of them don't need
disproving because they don't
exist.

Okay, again, just because
you haven't seen something,

it doesn't mean
that it doesn't exist.

I mean, you haven't seen
the back side of the moon,
but you believe in it.

[ Laughing ]What?

[ Laughing ]All right. Great.

What if Coleman was in the woods
trying to disprove the
chupacabra for Kill the Myth?

And the myth
killed him instead.It could happen.

No, it couldn't.
You can't be killed by
something that doesn't exist.

- You can, if it does exist.
- I don't think you understand
what the word "myth" means.

[ Exhales ][ Laughing ]

[ Laughing Harder ]

Now what?

Perhaps you could see
your dark side...

if you mooned a mirror.
[ Laughs ]

Because "moon" is a term
that refers to exposing--

I know, Bones.Get it?

It's pretty clever, right?It's clever, yeah. Clever.

Yeah, I'd laugh, but, uh, I'm
afraid of driving off the road.

I understand.You do, right?

Safety first.Oh, yeah.

I understand.

[ Chortling ]

[ Brennan ]
Oh. Huh.

Odd that they would call it
the Pine Tree Manor when it's
obviously clad in cedar.

I was just thinkin' that.

Really?No.

Wow!

- Hello.
- [ Brennan ] Hello.

- [ Clock Chimes ]
- Welcome to the
Pine Tree Manor.

It would
more properly be called
the Cedar Siding Manor.

Right. Uh, F.B.I.
Special Agent Seeley Booth.

This here's my colleague,
Dr. Temperance Brennan.

You must be here because of
the myth guy.

I'm Randy Shepard.
I own the place.

- Is it true what we're hearing?
- What are you hearing?

That something got the guy--
out in the woods, something...
horrible.

- And how'd you hear about that?
- From me.

Who are you?I'm Melissa Lawson.

- Melissa's our
activities coordinator.
- What does that mean?

Fishing, hikes, bird-watching,
nature trails, hunting.

Mr. Coleman sort of
monopolized Melissa
the three days he was here.

He was filming an episode
of that show of his.

To debunk the chupacabra?

- Yeah. And it got him.
- We've had sightings.

People used
to come from all over
just to get a glimpse of one.

- What's it look like?
- Oh.

- [ Cell Phone Rings ]
- Hello.

So, I've analyzed
those dermal cells
we found on the remains.

Turns out they are skin,
but not human.

Now, judging by the heavily
keratinized stratum corneum,
they appear to be reptilian.

Reptilian? There's more.

Those needle-like quills,
they're composed of
45% carbon, 27% oxygen,

15% nitrogen
and six percent hydrogen.

- That's hair.
- Mm-hmm. And definitely
mammalian.

No. That-That makes no sense.

Reptile scales
and mammalian hair...

don't coexist
on any known animal.

Really? What about this?

Chupacabra.

I'm Lee Coleman,
and I've made it
my life's mission...

to disprove some of the world's
most tenacious myths,
legends and monsters.

Don't be a fool.

Kill the myth...

and find the truth.

Join me next week
as I brave the deep woods
of West Virginia...

- in search of
the mythic chupacabra--
- [ Growling ]

a creature whose name
means "goat-sucker."

But I'm gonna prove
that if you believe in him,

you are the sucker.

That promo wasn't shot
in West Virginia.

It was a park
near the studio.
I can't believe he's gone.

You were his producer.
You must've known
he was goin' out there.

I rarely knew
what Lee was up to.

He insisted on doing
all of his own research.

Can you think of anyone
who would want to harm Lee?

He made a career
out of making people
look like fools.

Everyone he debunked
probably wanted him dead.

Believers in superstitions
like these-- they turn to
illogical explanations...

as a way of deriving control
in a frightening
and uncertain world.

- They're nuts.
- That's a more succinct way
of putting it.

But when a person like that
has his way of life challenged,

becoming violent
would not be surprising.

- You know, Lee was
attacked once... by a dog.
- He debunked a dog?

- What-- What was it
pretending to be?
- He debunked a pet psychic.

Oh.She lost a lot of clients.

Um, one day Lee
was coming out of the studio,
and this dog just went for him,

and the pet psychic
was just across the street
watching the whole thing.

- Was it her dog?
- She denied it, but why else
would she be there?

That mutt latched on
to Lee's leg.

He fell. He broke his ankle,
had to have surgery.

And we couldn't
even touch the psychic.

- When was this?
- Last year.

- Oh.
- But he insisted on rerunning
the episode two weeks ago.

- He disappeared
right after that.
- Yeah.

I told him
he should forget about her.
She's a loon.

But he wanted
to go after her again.

I've never seen bone damage
like this before.

Normally, puncture marks
resulting from carnivorous
scavenging...

are accompanied by pits
in the cortical bone surfaces.

Which are not in evidence.

Mysteriously.

So I'll analyze the wounds
and try and establish which
were caused by small animals...

and which might've been
caused by the chupacabra.

You are not letting
this chupacabra thing go,
are ya?

I'd be skeptical if you told me
that there was a venomous,

egg-laying, duck-billed,
beaver-tailed mammal,

and yet the platypus--

it does exist.
[ Sniffing ]

Uh, Mr. Nigel-Murray,
do you need me to take
that alcohol away from you?

Oh! No.
[ Chuckles ]

No, don't be absurd.
This is, uh, 80% ethyl alcohol.

I would most likely go blind
if I were to drink this.

It-- Yeah, yeah.
Take it away from me.

Yeah.Take the top.

Dr. Saroyan.
Sorry.

I really need you to let me
apologize to you,
for my sobriety.

Fine. Shoot.

[ Chuckles ]
Thank you.
[ Clears Throat ]

I once went into your office,
uh, when you weren't there,

and I noticed
that your desk drawer
was open,

and I saw a stack
of grocery coupons
from the Sunday paper.

Okay. Continue.

And I took
some of the coupons.
[ Clears Throat ]

I took-- One was for a soda,
and I took another one
for a cheese snack.

And a third was for
a frozen fish dinner.

Three coupons?Yeah.
[ Chuckles ]

I was tipsy.

I understand.
And as long as that's it,
I forgive you.

Um--

What?I also told some mates
from Paleontology...

that you and I-- that
we enjoyed a passionate...

and extremely gymnastic
sexual relationship.

What?Yes, I did.
It's all true.

I can't believe
you did that.

I-I know. I know.
And I am deeply,
deeply sorry.

But it was the hooch.

Uh-- Oh, forget it.

The injuries on the bones,
I would like an explanation
for them as soon as possible--

one that will not be met
with derision.

I shouldn't have told her
about the coupons.

I think the victim
is providing
a valuable service...

by debunking
these myths.Hmm.

[ Men Shouting ] Take a look at this.

- This is your proof.
- [ Shouting In Spanish ]

Oh, no.
Don't be angry atme.

Your priest is the one
who has tricked you. Look.

- I put up a hidden camera--
- [ Man ] ...the devil!

and this is what
it recorded last night.

Your priest has rigged
this statue to cry.

You know, some of these segments
that Coleman recorded
used hidden cameras.

He wouldn't need
a camera crew.

For his exposé
on the chupacabra,
he might've put up cameras.

They could still be there.Exactly.

I should watch the show.You know, not all miracles
are fake, Bones.

Mm-mmm. There's
a reasonable explanation
for all phenomena.

You know, I saw a yeti.

[ Laughs ]
Don't be ridiculous.
Yetis don't exist.

I was in Nepal.

Rangers have a secure
training base there.

I was doing field exercises,
about to rendezvous
with my platoon,

and... I saw it...

about 30, 35 feet
in front of me.

You were in the snow,

in unfamiliar terrain,
alone.

Hallucinations
are common.It was over 10 feet tall.

It was huge.
I looked straight
in its eyes.

I pointed my rifle at it,
and it ran.

This was no hallucination.Booth.

- I'm sure you thought--
- Okay, why don't you
just trust me here?

Why can't you just
use that brilliant
scientific mind of yours...

and at least admit
that the possibility...

of what I'm saying here is true?

- You-- You're serious?
- Just forget it.

You know, you talk
a really good game, Bones,
but when it comes down to it,

you're no different than people
who were certain that the sun
revolved around the Earth.

- That's not true.
- Hmm.

Well, I did some readings
for Nancy Reagan.

Her dog-- a Cavalier
King Charles spaniel,
Rex--

cute little thing.

He had some issues with
being in the public eye.
[ Laughs ]

You can understand.Sure, sure.

Well, Hobart likes you.

Thinks you have a kind
and understanding face.

- Hobart?
- Hobart.

Hello!Oh.

Hello.Hobart looks like
a very nice bird as well.

I wanted to ask you about--Lee Coleman. I know.
Horrible man.

He has no idea how many animals
he hurt by spreading
those lies about me.

- You were angry about that.
- Well, we all were!

Uh-huh. Well, he thought
you were responsible
for the dog attacking him.

[ Laughs ]
That's nonsense.

Hadley acted on his own.Of course.

But you were with Hadley
when he attacked. I mean,
you could've restrained him.

- Well, we were taking a walk.
It all happened very fast.
- Hello!

And he does regret
the pain that he caused.

- He told you that?
- We communicated, yes.

Two weeks ago,
when Lee Coleman was killed,

you were also in West Virginia,
weren't you?

Yes, I was seeing
a client-- a horse.

He felt emotionally displaced
because his owners got a pony.

Well, the farmer
who hired you...

said that you came and went
on your own schedule.

- What are you implying?
- You're the psychic,
Miss Michaels.

I'm sure you can figure it out.
Your business was hurt.

You felt humiliated
and ridiculed.

You wanted revenge.

I did not kill
that dreadful man.

I was at the farm.

Ask the horse,
or the chickens.
They all saw me.

Right.

I am not crazy, Dr. Sweets,
and I do want to help.

I heard that you found a goat
at the murder scene.

If you want me
to talk to him.Nah!

No, thank you,
but thank you.

[ Hobart ]
Good-bye.Um, this is getting weird.

So, if Coleman used
a hidden camera out here,

he probably would've
had it aimed where
the goat was tethered.

You really had to
volunteer us for this, huh?

Yeah! Thought comin' out
to the woods would be nice,
you know?

A little fresh air.Honey, let me share
something with you.

There's a human
growing inside me.

Vegging on the couch and eating
pints of mint chip ice cream...

is all I actually want to do.

Recent studies show that mothers
who gain excess weight
during pregnancy...

make their babies more prone
to childhood obesity.

Huh. That's interesting.

I read a study that says
that husbands who suggest
their pregnant wives are fat...

are far more prone
to being slugged by them.

Right. Okay then.

Uh, cameras. Cameras.Yes.

So I watched the segments
of Kill the Myth
that Brennan sent.

Uh-huh.Coleman always seems to use
the same type of camera.

It's a fixed-lens infrared
surveillance camera...

with a maximum focal length
of 20 feet.

So then we should
just measure...

a 20-foot perimeter
from the stake...

and then start
searching.

You know what
I don't understand?What's that, babe?

How come a creature
whose name means "goat-sucker"
didn't suck the goat?

[ Scoffs ]
Because there's no such
thing as a chupacabra.

Oh, this coming from the woman
that believes the stars
control our fates.

Of course you're going
to belittle astrology.
You're a Virgo.

I think I got something.

Well, h-how are we
gonna get up there?

Well, it's just
a little tree.

Hey, babe, you're going
to be a father.

I don't want anything
to happen to you.

Okay. But please--
Please be careful.

Okay.

- Got it.
- Hold on tight.

All right.
I'm gonna throw this
down to you, okay?

Yeah.

Got it.
Um, it looks like
there's some water damage,

but I might be able to recover
some data from the memory card.

Uh-huh.

If this time stamp is correct,

this was taken on the night
that Lee Coleman was killed.

He might have recorded
his own murder.

This is the original image...

of the damage done
to the victim's ribs and torso.

Now here I've eliminated
all injuries caused from
postmortem scavenging,

leaving only the wounds
incurred during
the initial attack.

What is this triangle?

That is a bite mark,

presumably the result
of two upper incisors
and a single lower incisor.

I'm not familiar
with any animal with that
configuration of teeth.

Like that.

Legend says that that
is how the goat-sucker...

drains blood from its prey.

Hodgins is analyzing the swab
from the injury site.

We'll see what he comes up with
that doesn't rely on legend.

I-- I'm very,
very sorry.

Why? You've done more
than satisfactory work.

Oh! No, no, no, no.

As part of my recovery,
uh, for drinking a lot
and having fun,

I have to make amends.

All right. What for?

One night,
I borrowed your iguana...

and wore it as a hat
at a party.

Well, you must've
taken care of him,
because I didn't see any damage.

And also I have
to apologize, um,

for spreading a rumor--
[ Chuckles ]

that you and I were lovers.

But it was nothing serious.
We were on and off.

We were just each other's
sexual playthings.

And please remember
that I'm apologizing
for things that I did...

when I was besotted
with drink.

[ Loud Laughing ]

Why are you laughing?

The absurdity
of you and I having...

a sexual relationship
of any kind.

I mean, your-- your friends
must be very gullible.

No, they're not--
not particularly.

Then they must've been
inebriated and incapable
of rational thought.

Stranger things
have happened.

[ Laughs ]
I can't think of any.

I-I mean,
I would sooner confirm...

that the chupacabra was
the cause of this man's death.

I've been told I'm an--
I'm an excellent lover.

So--

- It appears that
I've hurt your feelings.
- No. No, no.

It's-- It's all part
of the process,

and I have to accept
the consequences of my actions
as part of my recovery.

Then I'm glad
that I could help.

I-I must say that I'm impressed
that you were able
to get my iguana...

to stay on top of your head.

I'm clever with ribbons.

Here you go.

[ Knocking ]

I'm so sorry to bother you,
Agent Booth,

but I really need to talk to you
about Lee Coleman's murder.

Sure. Come on in.
No problem.

Have a seat.

I started thinking
that if someone killed Lee,
I could be next.

You?Maybe I'm crazy, but before
I produced Lee's show,

I worked with a man
named Terry Bemis.

Okay. Who's Terry Bemis?

He had a show
on the Wilderness Network,
Seeing Is Believing.

He's probably the most famous
cryptozoologist in the country.

That's very impressive,
but, uh, I don't know
what that means.

Cryptozoology is the study
of hidden animals,

animals whose very existence
is in doubt.

Oh, right.
Like the chupacabra.

Yes. Sure.

But also various sea animals
who've actually been
found and confirmed.

Look, the point is that, um,
Lee got Terry booted off
the Wilderness Network.

Oh, so you left crypto guy
and you went with Lee.

Yes. The network wanted me to.

Terry was very angry,
as you would expect.[ Latches Click Open ]

He started making threats,
which I didn't believe
at the time.

But I did get
this e-mail yesterday.

"Heard about Lee.
Some people get what
they deserve, I guess.

Wonder how things
will turn out for you."

- Do you know where I
can find Terry Bemis now?
- Where else? Public access.

[ Angela ] This is the footage
from the hidden camera
we found in the tree.

Oh, my goat friend and I
have been waiting here
for eight hours.

The only thing
we've been attacked by
are mosquitoes,

which is strange because
if these woods are supposedly
riddled with chupacabra,

you would expect
at least one of them...

to jump on the only goat
within a hundred-mile radius.

What he's saying makes sense,
but he's really unlikable.

Well-- [ Laughing ]
sun's gonna be up soon.

And since these creatures
are supposedly nocturnal,

Billy Goat Gruff and I
might as well call it a night.

Nothing for us there.Well, that's what
I thought at first too.

But check this out.

[ Beeping ]Okay, here it is.

What?

Look at the goat's ears
just before Coleman
shuts off the camera.

Oh, wow.
He heard something.

Mm-hmm. Something
Coleman didn't hear.

Can you work
some sort of audio magic,
see if you can pick it up?

Yeah, it's worth a try.

[ Beeping ]

[ Electronic Chirping ]

[ Faint Rumbling;
Chirping Continues ]

Did a G.C.-mass spec
on the swab results from
our little triangular bite.

I expected to find saliva,
but instead I got that.

"Bisphenol A,
diethyl propane
and amorphous silica."

[ Device Beeps ]What is that?

No clue. But as much
as it pains me to say it, it's
probably not chupacabra spit.

Did you I.D. the dermis
and those needles
we found on the body?

Yeah, I did.
The reptile scales belong
to a Ctenosaura pectinata,

or Mexican spiny-tailed iguana.

And the needles,
the needles are
from a wild boar.

Are those rare?No, not anywhere
you can buy a hairbrush.

This seems to be shaping up
to be nothing more than a hoax.

Don't sound so sad. Do you
really wanna live in a world
where chupacabras roam free?

Yes, I really do.

So, our friend,
the animal psychic,
has an alibi.

Ha-ha! Don't tell me.

She was feeding a flock
of pigeons in the park, and
they're all willing to testify.

Close.
Counseling a horse.I was making a joke.

I know. Still, just afraid
of driving off the road.
You know, great.

Anyway, the horse's owner
placed her on the farm.

Oh.

I did some research.Really?

The tracks you saw in Nepal
are easily explained.

I believe they were the tracks
of smaller animals widened
by the afternoon sun.

I didn't see just tracks. I saw
the Abominable Snowman himself.

Hmm? He looked at me,
and I looked at him.

I believe you saw
what you say you saw.

- But you believe
it was a hallucination?
- I believe you actually saw it.

Ah. A yeti?No.

What you saw was
Ursus arctos isabellinus.

They're usually red
or sandy in color,

but the one you saw
was covered in ice.

A seven-foot bear
covered in ice?Yes.

Ursus arctos
makes a sound much like
a human being grunting.

You did a lot
of work on this.

Yes. I believe you saw
exactly what you say you saw.

You're simply calling it
by the wrong name.Ah, thank you, Bones.

I appreciate you,
you know, giving me
the benefit of the doubt.

You're welcome.

Okay, look, this guy's
got two motives.

Okay. One, revenge
for getting booted
to public access.

And two,
he earns a living talking
about mythical animals.

Also, he'd be an expert
at faking a chupacabra attack.

[ Man ]
Three, two, one.

I received word this week
that there was a sighting...

of one of the most
elusive cryptids--

the Bukit Timah Monkey Man,

an immortal hominid that lives
in the forests of Singapore.

What more proof
do you need?

Well, this is a treat.

It looks like we're
being joined today...

by one of the many
celebrity guest scientists...

who frequently appear
on Seeing Is Believing.

Forensic anthropologist
Dr. Temperance Brennan is here.

Please, join me, Doctor.

Kevin, get a chair!

- Should I go?
- Why not? It's not like
anybody's watching.

Just set it there.Hello.
[ Clears Throat ]

Bup, bup, bup,
bup, bup.

Hello! Welcome.Thank you.

It is always a pleasure
to meet a fellow scientist.

I do not accept the premise
that cryptozoology
is a science.

I would point out
that every major advance
in the history of science...

was at first dismissed as
fairy tale or "pseudo science."

Cryptozoologists begin
with a conclusion and then
work backwards to prove it.

That is not science.
That's the opposite
of science.

I'm sorry.
Did you just come here
to insult me and my work?

No. I came here
because you're a suspect in
the murder of Lee Coleman.

And we'll be right back.

So now I have to talk
to a shrink? Why?

Because I believe there
are creatures the scientific
community doesn't accept?

No, no. I think this has more
to do with the, uh, e-mail
you sent to Miss Tweed.

It was an e-mail,
a piece of paper.

Not even,
until it was printed.

The F.B.I. sees it as a threat,
so I'm here to try and
understand why you sent it.

I was angry
that I lost my show.

I'm sorry.

Look, I know people
think I'm a little off
because of my field of study.

Oh, no. I mean, I study
the human mind, okay,

so I can definitely confirm
that there are many mysteries
out there...

that are very difficult
to explain.

Yes. Right. Yes.

And you had a forum
on the Wilderness Channel
to educate people.

I was gonna get
a publishing deal
and everything.

To distribute
your findings.

I could have legitimized
cryptozoology.

You must've been
very angry.

The son of a bitch
destroyed my life,

and he took my producer.

I'm on a community college
station now.

My show airs at 2:00
in the morning.

- How would you feel?
- Angry.

Mmm.

Not angry enough
to kill someone.

I didn't kill him.
I didn't have to.

The chupacabra beat me to it.

Coleman had such disdain
for my work,

but I bet he believed
in that creature...

as it was
killing him.
[ Chuckles ]

The F.B.I.'s convinced that
the whole attack was faked,

that there's no such thing
as a chupacabra.

There's ample literature
that proves otherwise.

Is this your
own self-published
literature we're talking about?

Well, it doesn't matter.

With all the media frenzy
over Coleman's death,

those woods are like
Grand Central Station.

I'm sure the chupacabra
has long since fled.

It's like the Loch Ness fiasco
all over again.

Yeah, possibly.

But the forensic team...

is combing
through all of the evidence,

so I'm sure they'll
find the truth.

That's what you want, isn't it?

The truth?

[ Electronic Chirping ]

So, I stripped away
the audio track
with Coleman's voice,

and I amplified
the background noise.

You just
turned up the volume.
I could've done that.

I'm sorry. Uh, do I just say,
"You look at gooey stuff
all day. I could do that"?

I also used
a multiband noise gate
to remove the ambient sounds,

and I reconstituted
the compressed information
above the Nyquist frequency.

- Okay?
- I think you've made
your point, yes.

- This is what we have left.
- [ Typing ]

- [ Low Growling ]
- [ Growling ]

They both sound
animal-like.Yeah. Well, the first one is.

I've identified it
as the mating call
of a white-tailed deer.

And the second sound?Well, I haven't
cracked that one yet.

It sounds like an animal,
but look at it
on the E.Q. visualizer.

- [ Beeping ]
- [ Growling ]

It has a recurring
consistent pattern that
suggests it's mechanical.

I'm gonna run it through the
Jeffersonian's audio database
and check for matches.

Oh, we have
an audio database?

Yeah, we sure do.
It has over 35 million sounds.

Check this out. So, this is
an Italian man sneezing.

- [ Sneeze ]
- [ Saroyan Chuckles ]

This is the engine
of an old Model T.

[ Engine Rumbling ]

- How about an F3 tornado?
- [ Wind Gusting ]

Here's a-- a raisin
falling in milk.

[ Plop ]Did someone just drop
a raisin into some milk?

Sorry to interrupt.

There's something
that I need to show you,
Dr. Saroyan.

- No confessions?
- I confess, no.

I sorted through
the dentition of dozens
of carnivorous animals,

and I finally found a match
to the puncture wounds
on the victim's ribs.

They are consistent with
the bite of a black bear.

A black bear?Yes.

And also,
when I looked back
at the X-rays,

I noticed a uniform
separation of the bones in
the joints of both ankles--

totally even,
and that's odd.

I also found evidence
of abrasions on the tissue
left on the ankles.

And look at this.[ Beeping ]

The cervical
and lumbar vertebrae
appear to be separated.

This is all consistent
with him being hung upside down
by his ankles.

- Which would explain
the abrasions.
- Of course.

His blood wasn't sucked out
by some mythical creature.

It was drained--[ Sighs ]

using the same method
employed by hunters.

Remember that chemical compound
I found in the bite mark?

Bisphenol A,
diethyl propane
and amorphous silica.

Dude, this isn't Jeopardy!.

I finally figured out
what contained
those three chemicals.

Jaw Jelly.

Jaw Jelly is
a one-part jell adhesive...

used by taxidermists to
create a wet look in the mouths
of animals they've mounted.

Are you thinking
of taking up taxidermy?

No. This is relevant
to the case.

I believe the bite marks
to Coleman's ribs...

came from a taxidermy bear.

Right. So he was killed
by a stuffed animal?

Whoever simulated this attack
used a bear tooth...

to imitate
the tripartite incisor pattern
ascribed to a chupacabra.

And I know where
we can find a stuffed bear.

It's a lot busier here
than it was.

Well, it looks like
a monster attack is what
this place needed, eh?

Look at that--
159 a night now.

Come on. Hurry, honey.Slow down, honey.

That's a bear.

One of the bear's incisors
has been removed.

I can use the corresponding
incisors to confirm...

that the tooth
used to stab Coleman
came from this bear.

- I expect nothing less.
- Back again.

Yeah. Wow. Business
really is booming,
isn't it?

Well, I hate
that it came on the back
of Mr. Coleman's misfortune,

but I'm grateful
for the guests.

- Can I see your hands?
- My hands?

Yeah, you know, the things at
the end of your arms there--
your hands.

Look at that--
rope burns.

That's what happens
when you hoist animals up
to drain their blood.

Isn't that right, Randy?

A psychologist?

It's my job to determine whether
you're capable of murdering
and mutilating a human being.

[ Chuckling ]
A guy would have to be crazy to
do something like that, right?

What do you think?Yeah, I guess so.

I'm not crazy, so I guess
I couldn't have done it.

Our people
did find Lee Coleman's
epithelial cells...

on the rope
in your supply closet,

rope burns on your hands
and vestiges of your D.N.A.
on the rope.

- Can you explain that?
- Look, I didn't kill him.
I'm not crazy.

You just said that
as though you know
who did kill him.

- I did?
- Yes. Do you know
who killed him?

No. How would I?

Right.

- What are you writing?
- Hmm? Oh, don't worry.
I just advise the F.B.I.

I don't actually
decide who's arrested
and tried for murder.

So, what are you tellin' 'em?

I am advising them
that in my professional
opinion, you're lying.

That and the rope
and the skin cells--

they'll probably
arrest you.

You'll be needing
a lawyer.

- All right.
Thank you for your time.
- Wait.

I-I didn't kill the guy,
but I... did the rest.

- "The rest"?
- Yeah, the draining
of the blood, the heart.

Yes, I did that stuff.

- Why?
- I came across the body.

Since he was already dead,
I thought if it looked like
he was killed by the chupacabra,

then he wouldn't
have died in vain.

You know,
most people who find
a corpse in the woods,

they'd call the police.

The lodge is in debt.
I was gonna lose it.

Coleman was my best chance
at saving my business.
That's not crazy, is it?

Exactly how did you
fake the attack?

Took the bear tooth
and made the bite marks with it,

spread some insecticide around,
make it smell like sulfur.

And then you
tore out his heart...

and hung him up
to drain the blood?

But I didn't shoot the guy.

Nobody said anything
about shooting.

- Well, I just meant--
- Who did? Who shot him?

It wasn't me. I didn't even
have the heart to kill the goat.

Where's the bullet?

I buried it with the heart.

Since I didn't kill the guy,
that's not so bad, is it?

No, it's bad.
It's very bad, Randy.

Very bad.

- You wanted to see me?
- Yeah.

I wanna show you
something on the rope.

Oh. Oh, good.

What?
You seem nervous.

Truth be told, I thought
that you might be upset...

that I told the world
I was sleeping with your wife.

Vincent, you were drunk.
Come on. I understand.

Oh. Oh, wonderful.
[ Chuckles ]
Okay, the rope.

Yeah, yeah. Just take a look
at the epithelial cells
through the microscope.

Mm-hmm.

They look no different
than before to me.

Hmm. Yeah, that's--
that's what I thought, too,

so I was just--
I was just checking.

Thanks.Oh, no, no.
You're welcome.

And you're absolutely sure
that you're okay...

with this whole
Angela business?

Do you really think
I'm that petty?No, no. Of course not.

Thank you.Mm-hmm.

You know, you are a kind
and understanding man,
Dr. Hodgins.

Aw.

[ Low Growling ]So this is the mating call
of a white-tail deer.

[ Growl ]And this is the first sound
on the tape again.

[ Growling ]

Well, it's not a match.'Cause it's not
a real deer.

So I went back
into the audio database.

This is the sound
of a man-made deer call. [ Growling ]

That's a match.
What about the second sound?

- [ Rumbling ]
- A motorcycle?

Actually, it's a gas-powered
four-stroke engine.

An all-terrain vehicle,
like the kind they had
at the lodge.

So someone was out hunting.

[ Motor Rumbling ]

[ Man ]
♪ If I go out tonight ♪

♪ To keep in touch
with the best of them ♪

♪ What am I givin' up ♪

- ♪ Tradin' in
for the rest of 'em? ♪
- She shot him accidentally?

She actually said it was
his own fault for not wearing
an orange vest in the woods.

This is why
I'm against hunting.

- Not because of Bambi?
- All right. Mostly
because of Bambi.

Melissa told Randy
what happened, and he used it
to his own advantage.

So, if Coleman
had just worn an orange vest,
he'd still be alive,

and Randy wouldn't
have mutilated him
to increase business.

Yep. Here's to
stupidity and greed--

the two elements
that keep us employed.

- [ Brennan ] Ah.
- [ All ] Cheers.

[ Chuckling ]All right, everyone.
That was fun.

Good night.See ya later, guys.

All right, guys.
All right.See you tomorrow.

- See you later.
- Bones.

At any time, did you think that
the, uh, chupacabra was real?

No.

Then why did you believe
that I saw the yeti in Nepal?

Because what I said you saw
was totally rational.

I never saw it.

You see, what you did was
rationally explain something
that never happened.

You never saw the yeti?

Or did I?

No, you didn't.

But you-- you did?

Are you trying
to confuse me?I might be.

Okay. What is your point?Well, that things
are confusing, okay?

Just because you can explain
something doesn't mean
that it's explainable.

Do you mean "explicable"?Sure, like us.

We don't make
any sense at all.

Good night.Bye.
