Mr. Sedlak!

Mr. Sedlak?

You're eight days late
with the rent.

Just because
I'm the new super,

doesn't mean I won't
heave your sorry ass
out the window...

if I have a mind to.

I--

What a slob!

[ Squeaking ]

Someone's not getting
their security deposit back.

How did you complete
your undergraduate degree
in two years...

while confined to
a juvenile detention
facility?

[ Southern Accent ]
Some people are born
with a knack for shootin'.

Some singin'. Me?
[ Clicks Tongue ]

I got a knack for thinkin'.
Simple as that.

[ Chuckles ] You graduated
top of your university class
when you were 16.

You'll have a doctorate
by the time you're 20.

There is nothing simple
about that.

And you're sure
I'm clear to work here?

After such a kindness,
I don't wanna get no one
in trouble on my account.

I spoke to your parole officer
in North Carolina.

Your record
is officially expunged
and sealed forever.

So it's no problem.I cannot thank you enough,
Dr. Saroyan.

Ah, the pleasure's mine.
I'm the one that's getting
a brilliant new intern.

Well, I'm just
a simple country boy...

tryin' to put
one foot in front
of the other, ma'am.

Well, put on this simple
lab coat and you can help me
prep the forensic platform.

All right.

[ Device Beeps ]

[ Laughs ]

- [ Device Beeps ]
- [ Woman ]
Running it right now.

[ Squeaking ]

There are
multiple lacerations
to the ribs.

Yeah. That'll happen
when you're thrown
through a terrarium.

I gotcha.
Skin as smooth
as a baby's bottom.

Looks like
Dr. Evil's hat.

Yeah. I'll analyze their scat
back at the lab.

That sounds exciting.
Okay, so, what do
we got here, Bones?

The victim is a female.
Early 30s.

It appears death was caused
by the L1 vertebra
being punctured,

severing the posterior
spinal vein and arteries.

Dr. Brennan, you sure
you don't want a chair?
The way you're squatting,

I'm worried
that little guy in there
is gonna just drop right out.

Thank you, but my uterus
and cervical plug
are quite healthy.

Also, I'm not having a boy.
It's a girl.

[ Chuckles ]
Having a girl--
Excuse me?

Well, the-- the fetus
growing inside my womb
has female genitalia.

You guys are having a girl?
That is so awesome.

Okay, you know what?
Just wait one second.

Can I just have a little word
with you here?

You're guessing, right,
what we're having?

No. I had an ultrasound
at the doctor's
this morning.

Are you displeased
with the results?No!

I'm thrilled. But you can't
just spring something like that
on me in public.

Why didn't you tell me that
you had a doctor's appointment?

Ultrasounds
are poorly pixilated
and in black and white.

You only like movies
that are in color.

I would've loved this movie.
It would've been
my favorite movie of all time.

I'm sorry. I had no idea
that our child's genitals
were so important to you.

Bones, I am the father,
you see.

All right, you know,
I can't deal with this
right now.

We'll talk about it
later.

Okay, so, victim here
is a female. Correct?

Yes. Should I
have told you that
in private as well?

[ Chuckles ] That's good.
Let's just keep
pressing forward.

Okay, so the registered tenant
was a Mr. Sedlak.

He can't be located,
so this is definitely
not the tenant.

And why did the rats
only eat half of her?

Well, since they're hairless,
the rats need to stay warm under
the terrarium's U.V. lights.

The rats were just food
for the real tenant--

Python regius.

It appears that our slithering
friend has found another
warm and cozy hiding spot.

Well, it's very possible
that the python consumed
some evidence...

which we will need
to retrieve.

Right. Hodgins,
you find the snake.

- Bones, you take the body
back to the Jeffersonian.
- What are you gonna do?

Well, it's not really important
that we share every detail
of our day, now, is it?

I agree.
For a moment, I thought
you didn't understand.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Device Beeping ]

Mr. Abernathy,
a few observations...

so that I may judge your ability
with a real set of remains.

Yes, ma'am.

Uh, the victim
is a female.

Normally I would say
late 20s to early 30s.

But in this case,
I would say 30 to 31...

based on the sternal
rib ends-- smooth,
only a few pores--

sharp rim edge
irregularly contoured,
zero projections.

That in conjuncture with
a barely discernible fusion line
at the medial clavicle...

gives us precise age.

As for injuries,
cursory examination shows
sharp force trauma...

present on the ribs,
posterior ulna,

humerus
and supraspinous fossa.

It's all consistent with
being thrown through annealed
rather than tempered glass.

Uh, said glass approximately
six millimeters in thickness,

judging by the shards
protruding from the scapula.

A promising start.

Dr. Saroyan?

Uh, sure. 'Cause who wouldn't
wanna follow that act?

Well, uh, feeding activity...

on the lower half of the body
was isolated,

leaving this entire portion
almost fully intact,

including much of
the small intestine and--

Whoa! Did you guys see that?

Uh, peristalsis
due to abdominal distention?

Except the victim
has no abdomen.

Oh, God!
Get it out of here!

[ Saroyan ]
Oh, God. I hate snakes.

- Dr. Hodgins?
- [ Saroyan ]
Somebody kill that thing.

You can come back to the lab.

We discovered the warm place
where the python was hiding.

Oh, I gotta say, ma'am,

this is the best
damn job ever.

[ Device Beeps ]So, I hear Finn saved you
from having a heart attack.

Yes, he's quite handy
with serpents.

Even Dr. Brennan
was impressed.

Really? It's
rare for her...

to trust
a new intern
to work solo.

Well, I'll, uh--
I'll try to do her proud.

Seriously? "Do her proud"?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

What exactly did you do...

to wind up in juvie
for three years anyway?

Dr. Hodgins,
we have work to do.

Yeah.
It's an innocent question.

No need to worry,
Dr. Hodgins.

A few mistakes
when I was a sprout.

But now I'm as honest
as the sunshine on the
back of a honey bee.

Why is that honest?

There's a lot of masticated
food in the teeth. A lot.

Oh, wow. It looks like she
was eating from a trough
just before she died.

Okay. I'll floss and see if I
find anything interesting.

The victim's mandibular fossa
is unusually shallow,

allowing for
the condylar process
to slip.

I mean, this lady's jaw
could unhinge itself,
like a python.

She could swallow
anything.

Excuse me.

Well, I'm confused, Finn.

No one spends
three years in juvie
for hot-wiring a tractor.

Dr. Hodgins.

I reckon
he has a right to know.
I did some joyridin'.

Uh, mailbox baseball.

I borrowed a few things
from the grocery
I shouldn't have.

Look, I ain't
proud of it, sir.

But now I'm proud
to be able to assist y'all
in whatever way I can.

Okay then.

Well, I reckon
I'd best go look and see
what we found in the teeth.

- [ Clicks Tongue ]
- [ Chuckles ]

- I'm so sorry, Finn.
- No problem, ma'am.

But there is something here
that is as odd
as my cousin Bobby.

We have an extra bone,
and it's the victim's,

- 'cause it's covered
in her scar tissue.
- An extra bone?

It must be due to Fibrodysplasia
ossificanus progressiva.

You know, the disorder
that causes muscle
and tissue to ossify.

But I'd sure feel better
if Dr. Brennan took a look-see.

[ Booth ]
So, the original leaseholder,
Gerald Sedlak,

has been living in Cleveland
for four years.

I don't understand.Well, the apartment,
it's rent controlled.

So when he moved out,
he just sold his key
to the next tenant.

Who posed as Sedlak
for the cheap rent.

That's a good move
in this economy.

Who was it?We're not sure.

But there
have been seven tenants
all registered under Sedlak,

the last one being a female,
but she kept to herself.

And you want to see
if I can give a profile
based on her personal effects?

That's right.
I want you to use
your Jedi mind powers.

- I like it when you
call me a Jedi.
- Well, most kids do.

Oh, hey, congratulations,
by the way.

- I hear you're having a girl.
- How did you know?

I ran into Dr. Brennan
this morning.

She was leaving the doctor.
Why? Is it a secret?

Obviously not.

She's probably hired
a skywriter to tell the world.

Is there something
I should know?

Hmm. Yeah.
Who the victim is.

Well, I mean,

she has virtually
no personal effects,

no-- no photos on the wall.

- Was there any mail?
- No, no mail.

There's not much
to go on here.

There's a couch,
a kitchen table.

And the python.

No home would be complete
without a python.

True. Very true.

It says here that the neighbors
who did see the victim...

described her
as extremely attractive.

She was seen multiple times
with very fat men.

Prostitutes sometimes keep
a separate place to conduct
their, you know, business.

And snakes are often
seen as sexual.

Maybe one of the clients
got a little too excited?

[ Device Beeps ]

Oh, good Lord.

And you wonder why nobody
ever visits you.

Which makes it doubly odd
that you're here.

I'm here 'cause someone
needs to knock some sense
into you, chérie.

What were you thinking,
bringing a criminal
into this lab?

Caroline, I've already
had this conversation
once today.

Finn has
no criminal record.

He did, until two days ago
when he turned 18
and it was expunged.

You should have talked to me
before you hired him.

Why should I discuss
with a federal prosecutor
who I hire in my lab?

Tell me, what happens when
a defense attorney questions
the integrity of this lab...

because we have
a teenage miscreant
handling evidence?

So you think
that this young man,

brilliant by even
Dr. Brennan's standards,

should be condemned forever
because of some youthful
indiscretions?

Sometimes life isn't fair.

But I don't have
to help it along.

He deserves a chance,
and I'm gonna
give it to him.

Now, unless you
would like to help,

I have some work to do.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

- I'm not killing that snake.
- This ain't me askin'.
You understand?

It's not "ain't."
It's "isn't."

This is the Jeffersonian,
not a fishin' hole.

I appreciate you're agitated,
but Dr. Saroyan insists.

See, when we x-rayed
our little friend here,
we found a rat inside.

And inside that rat
a distal phalanx
from the victim.

We need to get that bone
before the snake's
digestive juices gets to it.

Well, maybe someone of legal
drinking age...

can figure out how to read
that X-ray...

without killing
an innocent python.

Is everything okay?No. It's not.

I only just gave him
a new home.

He's got bamboo
climbing branches...

and artificial plants,

his own hiding box.

Well, everyone has
to make sacrifices,
Dr. Hodgins,

and it's time for
that python to make his.

You know, growin' up,
I kept myself a few snakes,
so I might be able--

Wonderful.
Opie, really.

However, the adults
who can speak properly,
we're talkin' now.

Excuse me, sir,
but elocution was not
on my application.

And it doesn't seem to
bother anybody else here
how I talk.

So I'm getting the feeling
you're just doing it
to make me feel bad...

'cause I'm different
than ya.

Which right now
is making me feel
pretty glad.

But just because
we speak different...

don't mean we can't
understand one another.

After all,
we both speak science.

And that's all
that's important
in here, right?

Ooh, snap!

Now, let's get this
over with...

and kill the vile, slimy,
soulless creature
and get that finger.

His metabolism
is very slow.

Okay, we've got two hours
before there's any damage
to that distal phalanx.

Give me the two hours.

Please.

Look at that face.

Two hours.

After that--
[ Clicks Tongue ]

Got any good ideas?

I reviewed your notes,
which are thorough
and excellent,

except for
your conclusion...

concerning... this bone.

Well,
it fits the profile...

for Fibrodysplasia
ossificanus
progressiva.

A rare
and fascinating disorder.

However, in our search
for the extraordinary,

the mundane
is often overlooked.

This is a chicken bone.

Oh, shoot.
I'm sorry, ma'am.

I should've known.
I grew up on barbecue.

It was lodged in the lung
after it was swallowed,

and it went down the trachea
instead of her esophagus.

Why didn't she cough it up
like a normal person?

That is one of the questions
we will need to answer.

You might find
something valuable...

in the intestinal contents
Dr. Saroyan retrieved.

Thank you, ma'am.[ Device Beeps ]

Hey!
Hodgins just told me
the big news.

A little girl.

Hodgins also mentioned...

that Booth wasn't there
when you found out.

I-I didn't see
the importance of it.

Put yourself
in his position.

Would you like
to hear secondhand?

I wouldn't care.

[ Sighs ]
Why do I try?

Okay, uh,
I got an I.D....

from the facial
reconstruction.

The victim's name
was Tina Thomas.

Your wife, uh,
was identified...

by the forensic team
at the Jeffersonian.

I can't
believe it.

Who would want
to murder Tina?

Mr. Thomas, were you aware
that your wife was
renting an apartment?

Yeah.

She went there
for a week at a time
to get her business done.

So you knew what she did?

Well, at first
she used to do it
at the house,

but, you know,
it got to be
too much for me.

I just couldn't
watch anymore.

- You used to watch?
- Well, I wanted
to be supportive.

Tina was so good
at what she did,
I got to quit my job.

She sounds very accomplished.

Oh, yeah.

She could dislocate her jaw.
I mean, open her mouth
really wide.

And she had
no gag reflex.

Honestly, she could put
anything in there.

Oh. All right.

Once, I saw her
make a foot-long wiener
disappear.

Is that some sort
of euphemism...

that prostitutes use, or--

Prostitute?
What the hell
are you talkin' about?

My wife wasn't a hooker.

Uh-uh.
She was a champion.

A competitive-eating
champion.

Thank you very much.
We don't have
any further questions.

Thanks for comin' in.

- Wiener. I gotcha.
- Stop.

Throughout history, eating
contests have been popular
in wealthy societies...

as a reflection
of their abundance.

At the height
of the Roman Empire,

some contestants would
gorge until they died.

Wow.
That's pretty amazing.

So, listen,
this is Tina's profile...

from the Competitive
Eating Alliance Web site.

And there she is! Huh?
Her stage name
was Tina "Python" Thomas.

She held world records
in eating hot dogs
and buffalo wings.

That would explain
the chicken bone
lodged in her lung.

She ate 65 hot dogs
in 12 minutes!

You sound very impressed
with her accomplishments.

Sixty-five hot dogs!Yes.

In 12 minutes.You said.

You don't want to see that?
I'd love to see that.

That's pretty amazing
if you ask me.

I'm bringing in the head
of Competitive Eating so
we can talk to him about Tina.

- Oh, I-I can't.
- Why?

Well, I have a meeting
with a financial adviser
about a trust for our daughter.

You're doing it again.

- What?
- You're not including me.

I thought the reason
that you wanted to attend
the ultrasound was emotional.

A meeting
with a financial adviser
is practical.

Also, you have no money.

This is not
about the money.
You understand?

The point is that you--
you should've asked.

That's all.
It's pretty obvious.

I-I thought I was making
things easier for you.

No, I don't
want things easy.
I-- You know what?

I think that you should
walk in my shoes
for a while.

You want me to see the world
as you do so I can
feel what you feel?

Right.
You know me well enough
to do that, right?

Huh.

I-I want to have
intercourse.

[ Cup, Plate Clatter ]What?

You enjoy sex at any time.

This is anytime.

Ergo, you want sex now.

It's a simple syllogism.

Forget it.
Let's just order.
Now I'm frustrated.

What is that?

These are the scraps
Hodgins flossed
from the victim's teeth.

A delightful slurry
of beef, chicken
and pork intestines...

otherwise known
as a hot dog.

One good thing
about hot dog meat--

the preservatives are great
for keeping evidence intact.

It seems she took a bite
out of something more
than a hot dog.

- Take a look.
- Oh.

This was lodged between
her upper right canine
and bicuspid.

Yeah, I just looked in there
like I knew what I was doing.

It's a sliver of human tissue,
and it's not hers.

Meaning Tina may have
bitten her attacker.

- I'm running the D.N.A. now.
- Okay. Send me the results.

I'll see
if I can find a match
in the F.B.I. database.

Cool.

♪♪ [ Rock ]

[ Crowd Cheering ]

You can see
why the crowds loved her.

- The way she lets the python
slither all over.
- ♪♪ [ Continues ]

Wow.

Tina was an athlete.
She trained hard.

She never weighed
more than 125.

Man, this is a lot more intense
than my pie-eating contest
in college.

Yeah.

About a month ago,
I was in Japan...

negotiating a weekly
eating competition
for prime time.

Japan. That's where
the real money is.

Well, this TV offer--
it was just for Tina?

No, no. It's for the league.
But she was the draw.

The sport has really
taken off over there.

When was the last time
you saw her?

Four weeks ago,
at a chicken wing
competition in Tulsa.

I didn't understand
why I hadn't heard
from her since,

but I just figured
she was training
and I'd see her today.

- Why today?
- The Gluttony Games
start this afternoon.

She was the headliner.

She would've walked away
with an easy 10 grand.

Dr. Saroyan,
I need a word with you.

[ Sighs ]
If it's about Finn,
I don't wanna hear it.

Well, you're going to.
Are you aware of all the charges
brought against that boy?

He made some mistakes.
He was 15.

Joyriding is a mistake.

Assault is something
a whole lot different,
chérie.

You unsealed his records?

He has a history
of violence.

Kid assaulted his stepfather
with a hunting knife.

What were
the circumstances?

Does that matter?
Do you want someone here who
solves problems that way?

And it gets worse.

A year
after the assault,

Finn's stepfather
disappeared.

His body
was never found.

What are you saying?

You're a cop and a coroner.
What the hell do you
think I'm saying?

Cop in North Carolina
said the whole county
heard Finn making threats.

You're a good woman, Cam,
with a big heart.

I know you think Finn
is some helpless pup
that you can save.

But don't ruin your career
and the reputation
of the Jeffersonian...

by being stubborn.

[ Knocking ]

Uh, Ms. Montenegro said
you might've found
some D.N.A.

I sure would like
to be of assistance,
if you'd like.

Uh, no, Finn.

It's-- It's okay.
I've got this one.

Okay.
Yes, ma'am.

Maybe some of the other
competitors can tell us...

who might have wanted
Tina out of the way.

I know, Bones.
That's why we're here.
You didn't have to come.

- I know you're probably tired.
- No. I am determined to see
the world through your eyes.

Oh, right. And being around
all this food while you're
pregnant, that doesn't hurt.

Oh, you just saw the world
through my eyes, didn't you?[ Chuckles ] It's not hard.

[ Crowd Cheering ]

Oh, my God.
Look at that, Bones.

Oh, they seem
quite determined.

Wow! Oh!
Look at number two go!

He's amazing!Oh, he's using
the Valsalva maneuver.

It increases thoracic pressure
throughout the esophagus,

allowing him
to ingest more food.

You really did
your homework, huh?

Well, it's an anatomically
fascinating case.[ Laughs ]

This is all right,
huh?

This actually isa sport.
Look at this.

Oh! Oh! Four is down!
Four is down.
Look at that.

Interesting.

- Your adrenaline
is clearly surging.
- Huh?

You're allowing the crowd
and the competition...

to stimulate
the same chemical response...

of the sport--

Ron "The Woodchuck" Patterson...

versus
Rick "The Compactor" Koser.

They're tied dog for dog--
52. Now 53!

Who's gonna
cut the mustard, baby?

- Cut the mustard!
- Come on! Eat those dogs,
you bozos!

Eat! Eat! Eat!

- [ Buzzer Buzzes ]
- That's it! It's over!

This Herculean
gastronomic event is over!

The winner and champion,
ladies and gentlemen,

Ron "The Woodchuck"
Patterson...

with a personal best
56 mouthwatering
Hankfurter hot dogs!

He's pathetic!

Tina could eat
65 hot dogs!Sixty-five?

- Huh?
- Tina's record was 65.

Oh, with Tina out of
the competition, this clown
would get all the winnings.

This is good motive.

I can see
where you're coming from.

[ Woman ]
We love you, Woodchuck!

- [ Loud Burp ]
- Really. I asked you
not to do that, please.

You guys brought me in here
after eating 56 hot dogs.

You gotta pay the piper.
[ Burps ]

Oh, God.

He took in extra air
because of the speed
with which he ate.

That, coupled with
the digestive process,

made it necessary for his body
to expel the gas he produced.

- [ Burping ]
- Wow.

It's wonderful
how the body works, isn't it?It's delightful.

Okay, Mr. Woodchuck.
We're just gonna cut
right to the chase.

With Tina out of the way,
you stood to make
a lot more money.

But that does not mean
that I killed her.

Maybe. But it doesn't mean
that you're not jealous.

It wasn't fair.
She had that freaky jaw.

Uh, she had a shallow
mandibular fossa.

- [ Burp ]
- God. You're messing up
my flow here.

We've determined
that Tina was killed
on Tuesday evening.

Where were you
last Tuesday?

Uh, Tuesday--
Uh, Atlantic City.

I was at
the all-you-can-eat buffets
at the casinos.

- I go there to train sometimes.
- And we assume
that you weren't alone?

I was there.

I swear.

But I train alone.
[ Burping ]

What are you doing
in my lab, Opie?

My name ain't Opie,

Thurston.

Thurston?Yeah.

I'm trying to help you
and the snake.

Mostly the snake.Yeah,
well, nice try.

But our two hours
are up.

Oh, no,
we got five minutes left.

See, since the snake's
digestive juices are regulated
by body temperature,

I'm cooling our slimy friend
to 26.1 degrees Celsius
to slow down his metabolism.

- That'll kill him.
- Not in five minutes it won't.

- We'll have time
to warm him up after.
- After what?

- After we get out
the distal phalanx.
- Without cutting him open?

Yes, sir.

See, here's a little somethin'
I learned at myfishin' hole.

Many snakes,
when confronted by
the specter of death,

are known to upchuck what's
in their stomach contents.

That way,
they may slither away
unencumbered.

And I've spooked
a few serpents in my day.

And why didn't you
bring this up before?

It might've had to do with you
treating me like a piece of scat
and not wantin' me to speak.

Yeah, well,
I said I'm sorry, so--

Actually, sir,
I believe "I'm sorry"
must've slipped your mind.

But I'm all ears now.

He's getting too cold.Yes, sir, he is.

Okay. I'm sorry.
All right?

I... was... an ass hat.

I am Thurston,
the ass hat.

There. Now,
how do you scare a snake
at a fishin' hole?

Simple as flippin' a flapjack
standin' on your forehead.

See, that actually sounds
very difficult.

Ohh![ Chuckles ]
Oh!

Oh... my... God.

Quick. What's
a Southern colloquialism
for shock and amazement?

Well, hack my legs off
and call me Shorty!

Well, Shorty,
we got ourselves
some evidence.

[ Both Chuckling ]

D.N.A. results came back
from that piece of skin
I found in the victim's teeth.

Oh, great.
All right, let's run it
through the database.

I already did.
It's on the server.

Oh. Is it the burping guy?

No. His alibi checked out.

Our new suspect
is Brian Tobin.

Yeah. And he's
an executive in publicity
at Hankfurter Hot Dogs.

Hankfurter was one
of Tina's sponsors.

Looks like more than
a sponsor to me.

Anyway, I sent
the results to Booth.

So what do you
need from me?

I need you to run
a search, under the radar--
way under the radar.

Uh, another possible suspect?

[ Sighs ]
No.

It's Finn.

I heard that maybe he's more
than just a troubled kid,

and I need you
to check him out.

Oh. Okay.

Thanks.

[ Sighs ]

Right, thanks.

Tina took a bite
out of this guy Tobin.
He's back at the Gluttony Games.

Meaning we have to go back
to where we just were?

Right. So you should
turn right at the next light.

And then another right
at the stop sign.

[ Tires Screeching ]Whoa! Bones!

What are you doing?Well, I'm driving
as you would drive.

You don't like
taking directions.Oh, I get it.

You're still
walking in my shoes.

Also, note how
I only have one hand
carelessly on the wheel.

Well, that's not
very cool of me.It's okay. I don't mind.

Oh.

Now I'm thinking about
intercourse again.

You were too,
weren't you?

Okay. So Tobin is supposed
to be here, right?

His company sponsors
more people than just Tina.

I imagine with the obesity
epidemic, their strategy
is quite lucrative--

for them
and for cardiologists.

[ Woman Grunting ][ Man ]
You are pathetic.

What's the matter?
You can't breathe?

I don't care!
Come on!

You're pathetic!
I said hold still!

- [ Yelling ]
- [ Booth ]
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- [ Yelling ]
- Bones! Okay, listen--

F.B.I.! You stay down!

Bones, what are you doing?
You don't just charge
a suspect like that.

- And you're pregnant!
- Well, I was acting like you.

I'm not pregnant!
Just let me be me.
All right? Just for a while.

- I was just
helping her train.
- [ Coughing ]

You wrecked
her personal best!

And on top of it,
you wrecked
her personal best.

Sorry.

What's with the scrawny guy?

I thought I'd be dealing
with that pregnant chick
who took me down.

[ Chuckling ]
I liked her.

- You really don't wanna
go down that road, buddy.
- No, you really don't.

The little girl
she's carrying
is his daughter.

Oh, uh--

Dr. Brennan works
with the Jeffersonian.

And right now,
she's compiling
evidence against you...

for the murder
of Tina Thomas.

Me?

We have D.N.A. evidence.
We found your skin
in her teeth.

- She bit your finger.
- Wh-- Yeah.

What precipitated the attack?
Were you two
intimately involved?

Maybe she tried
to break it off?

We weren't fighting
about that.

But you admit
to getting into a fight?

Sure. Over money.
Uh, what else?

Me and my company,
we had a lot
invested in her.

So, what'd you do?
Shove too much food
in her mouth?

Why would I risk hurting
such a valuable asset?

She bit me? Yeah.

A lot of competitors
have pieces of me
in their teeth.

I was just helping Tina.
She was starting to hurl.

You can't compete and hurl.
It's not appetizing.

When was the last time
you saw Tina?

Uh, at her apartment,
Sunday last.

Within five minutes of training,
she puked and started sobbing.

Said she was done
with competitive eating.

She brought in
a lot of money for you.
You must've been very angry.

But I wouldn't kill her.

Don't read too good,
does it?

Oh, uh, I'm--[ Beeping ]

I'm-- I'm sorry.

It's okay.
[ Sniffs ]

I'd want to know
who I was
working with too.

Are--
Are those reports wrong?

It wouldn't matter
what I said.

Truth is, people always
think the worse
when given a choice.

Th-That's not true.

I'd like to
believe that, but, uh,

from where I sit,
experience has been
a cruel teacher.

Anyway, I was just fixin'
to clean off this bone,

and a thought
came to me.

Wh-What was that?

Now, that laminated
terrarium glass the victim
was thrown through--

at 6.38 millimeters,
that's some pretty
resistant stuff.

Maybe we could use
your computer to calculate
the mass of the killer...

in reference to
the length of the room.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's--
that's brilliant.

Well, here are
some of the figures
I got drawn up so far.

I'll get out
of your hair now.

Finn, um,

about what I was
looking at before--
[ Stammers ]

Don't worry none.
I'm used to it.

[ Sniffles ]

You have no idea
where Mr. Abernathy went?

He doesn't seem like
the kind of person...

who would quit
before we solve the case.

He did have
a questionable past,
Dr. Brennan.

Look at
the victim's teeth.

Tooth erosion. Due to
increased stomach acid
from overeating?

That's what I thought as well.

However, based on Booth's
most recent interview,

vomiting seems
a more accurate cause.

But she was a champion.
I thought they never vomited.Correct.

So there has to be
another explanation.

Wouldn't it be
illogical for Finn,
if he were still a danger,

to work where his every move
is observed and documented...

by the most brilliant minds
of the Jeffersonian?

Yes.

But he's a kid.
He might not be
that reasonable.

I've seen his work.
I can assure you that he is.

There is diastasis
of the symphysis pubis.

A very subtle widening.

A widening?
Meaning--

Tina wasn't vomiting because
of the quantity of food
she was consuming.

She was eight weeks pregnant.

You said before
how grateful you were
to be able to quit your day job.

I-I was a garbage man.
Wouldn't you want to quit
if you had the chance?

I don't know. Because right now
I'm dealing with garbage
that stands about 5 foot 10.

And, uh,
I'm not quittin' my job.

[ Scoffs ]
You got no right.
You don't know me.

Really? 'Cause I interviewed
your neighbors.

And they said the both of you
argued all the way
up till the day she died.

So?

So, what'd you argue about?

We-We argued about
having kids.

She wanted me
to change my mind.

You didn't want
to have children?God, no. Not now.

Tina was just starting
to make some good money.

It's crazy
to throw all that away
for a kid.

We had years for that.
Right?

Right.
So you wouldn't be happy...

if your wife
quit competitive eating
to start a family.

I don't have
to talk to you.

I don't have to say
another word.

Her husband admitted
that her career
was more important to him...

than having a baby.

Surprisingly,
I'm a bit horrified
as well.

Although my career will help
provide a fascinating life
for our daughter.

But I think you have to
let Tina's husband go.

What? Why?
He's got motive.
He's got opportunity.

- But he only weighs
183 pounds.
- So what?

Based on a suggestion
from Mr. Abernathy,

Angela calculated
both the mass
and the acceleration...

the killer would need
in order to throw our victim
through the glass terrarium.

- Right.
- The assailant would need
to weigh at least 312 pounds.

Okay. So we're looking
for someone who is
at least 300 pounds.

Yes. Both Mitch Clancy
and Brian Tobin
would be ideal suspects.

Bones, I can't arrest someone
because they're fat.

Well, I'm still compiling
evidence, although my intern
seems to have disappeared.

What, the kid?
What, is he in trouble?

I imagine he will be
if he loses his career.

I'll re-examine the injuries
that Tina sustained...

when she was thrown
through the glass.

Perhaps I'll find
something you can use.

Booth can't make an arrest
without more evidence.

I don't appreciate
having to do your work...

as well as my own,
Mr. Abernathy.

I'm sorry.
But I realized quittin'
was a coward's way out.

It is.

Please clean
the distal phalanx
you recovered.

I shouldn't have left it
like that, should I?

I trust that was
a rhetorical question.

Yes, ma'am.

Did your interest
in forensics...

stem from a plan
to murder your stepfather?

Yes, ma'am, it did.

Dr. Saroyan mentioned that
he was physically abusive...

to both you and your mother.

He had a temper.

Probably why
I behaved like I did.

Could never find a way
to make the mad go away.

So, did you murder
your stepfather,
Mr. Abernathy?

No, ma'am, I did not.

What stopped you?

I read a paper
you wrote.

"Postmortem Dismemberment,
Recovery and Analysis."

I knew no matter how careful
I was, I'd never get away
with killin' him.

At least
not with y'all around.

I'd like to think
that's true.

Well, I took it
as a sign from above,

keepin' me on
the straight and narrow.

I haven't so much as
talked in church since.

What happened
to your stepfather?

Last time I saw him, I told him
he was a dead man if he ever
touched my mama again.

Guess the son of a bitch
didn't know I was bluffin'.

I can imagine
how it must feel...

to know that people
are thinking that you
did something like that.

I appreciate that.

You best never
walk out again, you hear?

There ain't gonna be
no more second chances.

I love John Wayne movies.

[ Chuckles ]
Yeah.

Dr. Brennan,
take a look at this.

Eggs from a parasite?

Good job, Opie.

Dr. Hodgins!

No, I don't mind,
Dr. Saroyan.

Truth be told,
after walkin' out,

I deserve whatever Thurston here
chooses to deal out.

- Thurston?
- Yeah.

Opie and I have
a little understanding.

So, our parasite...

is a Paragonimus westermani.

It's a lung fluke.

The lung fluke
isn't found in the U.S.

Opie, you're like
the little brother
I never had.

Much obliged, Thurston.

In Japan, however,
the lung fluke is endemic to 80%
of their freshwater crabs.

- Had the victim been to Japan?
- No. But she knew
someone who had.

You said you hadn't seen Tina
in a month, correct?

That's correct.
Since I got back
from Japan.

I regret that now.

She was so dear to me.Right. You picked up
a parasite in Japan.

That's how you
developed the cough.

I just had a cold.
That's all.

This is a prescription
of yours for bithionol.

It's for the parasite,
isn't it?

Uh, h-how did
you get this?

My medical information
is private.

Not during
a murder investigation.

The same parasite
that was found in Tina's body.

There's only one way
it could've got there, Mitch.

This is crazy.

She was the golden goose.
Why would I kill
the golden goose?

Because she was quittin'
to have a baby.

And that contract that you
signed with the Japanese...

was worthless without Tina.

We had a deal.

And I got mad.

And I shoved her.

I'm a big man.

She just
flew into that thing.

But all I did
was give her a shove.

Mr. Abernathy.

I don't want to see you
wearing that baseball cap
in the lab anymore.

Uh, yes, ma'am.

I'm sorry about that.

I'd rather you
wore this one.

Uh, well,
this will, uh--

This'll do
just fine, ma'am.

Not bad.

Full confession.

Thanks for getting us
the flukey thing.

Sure.

- Look, I'm beat.
- I understand.

This case must've been
difficult for you...

since the victim was pregnant
and so am I.

You would've drawn parallels.

Yeah. I guess I did.

I think this experiment
has been successful.

I find that I can now
put myself in your shoes
and feel empathy.

Also,

I owe you an apology.

An apology?
Wait a second.

Is this
you apologizing to me,

or me apologizing to you
for something that
I don't understand?

I understand how upset
you must've felt...

not to have been included
at the ultrasound.

While I wish I could undo
what I've done to you, I can't.

That's okay.
Hey, you know what?
Apology's enough.

Really?

Because I have more.

Oh. I'll always take more.
What do you have in mind?

Well, the doctor made me
a DVD of the ultrasound.

Although the resolution
isn't ideal,

I feel certain that
you will enjoy seeing this.

Of course I'm
gonna enjoy seeing--

Wow.

Look.

That's the heartbeat.

[ Chuckles ]
You're happy.

Of course I'm happy.
Look at that.[ Laughs ]

She kicked!

[ Laughs ]

She has your prominent
mental protuberance.

Is that a good thing?

Yes.
It's a very good thing.

Right!
Did you hear that?
Did you hear that?

You have
my problemental
protuberance.

How 'bout that? Huh?
Oh, she's kicking.

What's that mean?
