Bones (2005–2017): Season 1, Episode 10 - The Woman at the Airport - full transcript
Bones and Booth travel to Los Angeles to investigate a body found on a beach. The case leads them to call girls and plastic surgeons. Back in Washington, Hodgins and Goodman clash while authenticating the remains of an Iron Age wa...
THESE REMAINS, DATING
FROM THE IRON AGE,
WERE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM
OF SHAFT THREE AT THE SITE.
THERE WERE FIVE SETS OF HUMAN REMAINS
FOUND. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE FOUND WHOLE.
HE'S IN GOOD SHAPE. 1,500 YEARS
OLD? HE SHOULDN'T LOOK THIS GOOD.
WHICH IS WHY WE'RE HERE. WE'RE
EITHER GOING TO AUTHENTICATE...
THE FINEST SET OF HUMAN
REMAINS FROM THE IRON AGE FOUND...
OR DASH THE HOPES OF
A THOUSAND SCHOLARS.
LET ME KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT.
DR. GOODMAN, THIS IS EXTREMELY PRESTIGIOUS.
AREN'T YOU GONNA BE PART OF THE TEAM?
I HAVE AN INSTITUTION TO RUN. DIDN'T
YOU USE TO BE AN ARCHAEOLOGIST?
YES, MR. ADDY. THANKS
FOR REMINDING ME.
X-RAYS, PICTURES. WE'RE GONNA
DO THIS WITHOUT TOUCHING...
THE ACTUAL SKELETON
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
- KID GLOVES?
- LATEX SHOULD BE ALL RIGHT.
ZACK, WERE YOU BEING METAPHORIC?
I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A SHOT,
WHICH IS ALSO METAPHORIC.
I NEED A RECEPTIONIST. I CAN'T
HAVE JUST ANYBODY WALTZING IN HERE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
A BUNCH OF RED CIRCLES?
EACH CIRCLE SHOWS WHERE
A BODY PART WAS FOUND.
- OH, IS THIS AN AIRPORT?
- LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL.
LOCAL PATHOLOGIST SAYS THE
REMAINS ARE IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.
SO THEY PUNT IT TO THE F.B.I.?
AIRPORTS, THEY FALL UNDER FEDERAL
JURISDICTION. EXCELLENT USE OF THE WORD "PUNT."
I CAN'T GO TO LOS ANGELES. I HAVE AN
IRON AGE WARRIOR TO AUTHENTICATE.
IRON AGE WARRIOR? UH, WHEN
WAS THE IRON AGE? 1,500 YEARS AGO.
FRESH BODY BITS, JUST A
LITTLE BIT MORE URGENT.
YOU REALIZE THERE ARE A LOT MORE FRESH BODIES
THAN PERFECT SPECIMENS FROM THE IRON AGE?
WHEN YOU SAY THINGS LIKE
THAT, IT'S JUST TO BUG ME, RIGHT?
DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH
THIS EVERY TIME? EXACTLY.
BOOTH CAN'T JUST WALK IN AND SAY,
"PACK YOUR BAGS. WE'RE GOING TO L.A."
OH, YEAH, YEAH. THE WHOLE
ICE AGE WARRIOR THING.
- IRON AGE.
- AND THAT'S NOT THE ONLY THING.
HOMELAND SECURITY HAS JUST ASKED DR. BRENNAN
TO IDENTIFY THREE BODIES FOUND IN...
- I'M NOT ALLOWED TO SAY.
- THE POINT IS, AGENT BOOTH,
DR. BRENNAN IS IN DEMAND ON SEVERAL VERY
PRESSING CASES AND NEEDED HERE AT THE MUSEUM.
WHY SHOULD I SEND
HER TO CALIFORNIA?
SEXY CASE IN HOLLYWOOD. HOW MUCH MORE
GOOD PRESS COULD THE JEFFERSONIAN GET?
BUT, DR. GOODMAN, YOU SAID THE IRON
AGE WARRIOR WAS OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITY.
I CAN STEP IN ON THAT CASE.
YOU PACK YOUR BAGS.
♪♪
THIS CAR DOESN'T
FEEL VERY "F.B.I.-Y."
YEAH, BONES, THIS A 1966
MUSTANG. IT'S A CLASSIC.
AND WHAT GOES BETTER
THAN THAT WITH THE F.B.I.?
HOW COME ON THE RENTAL AGREEMENT UNDER
"MODEL" YOU MADE THE GUY WRITE "SEDAN"?
COME ON. WE'RE IN CALIFORNIA.
LOOK, PALM TREES. YOU KNOW,
I'D LIKE TO DRIVE SOMETIME.
- LOOK, OUR CONTACT OUT HERE
IS SPECIAL AGENT TRICIA FINN.
- I'M AN EXCELLENT DRIVER.
- OKAY, RAIN MAN.
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
I'M ALWAYS GOING TO DRIVE.
YOU KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
ME BEHIND THE WHEEL, AND YOU
OVER THERE... ON THE GRANDMA SIDE.
I'M NOT ABOVE TELLING DEPUTY DIRECTOR
CULLEN WHAT KIND OF CAR YOU RENTED.
♪♪
DO YOU WANT US TO DO SOMETHING
OR JUST STAND HERE AND WATCH?
I'M GETTING A FEEL
FOR THE FELLOW.
A FEEL? THERE'S NO BUGS ON HIM.
HAVEN'T BEEN FOR OVER A THOUSAND YEARS.
THERE MAY BE SPORES AND
POLLENS, CORRECT? PROBABLY NOT.
DOZENS OF SPECIES OF POLLENS HAVE
BEEN DISCOVERED FROM THE CRETACEOUS ERA.
- HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT?
- SIXTY-FIVE MILLION YEARS.
THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD COMEBACK.
WHEN AUTHENTICATING A FIND LIKE THIS,
WE HAVE TO BE AT THE TOP OF OUR GAME.
YEAH, WELL, WE ALL KNOW
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY,
- "I AM UNABLE TO AUTHENTICATE
WITH CONFIDENCE."
- WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
WHEN YOU DECLARE SOMETHING AUTHENTIC,
YOU RUN THE RISK OF BEING PROVEN WRONG.
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN
IF YOU EQUIVOCATE.
AS HEAD OF THE JEFFERSONIAN,
DR. GOODMAN WILL PLACE...
THE REPUTATION OF THE
INSTITUTION OVER EVERYTHING ELSE.
I'M AN ARCHAEOLOGIST. MY FINDINGS
WILL BE CONGRUENT WITH THE FACTS.
ALL DUE RESPECT, YOU USED
TO BE AN ARCHAEOLOGIST.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING
ON BETWEEN YOU TWO RIGHT NOW.
AGENT FINN, WHY WAS THE BODY
REMOVED FROM THE CRIME SCENE?
CALL ME TRICIA, DR. BRENNAN.
THE BODY WAS REMOVED BECAUSE
PARTS WERE VISIBLE TO ARRIVING FLIGHTS.
HERE'S A MAP OF THE
CRIME SCENE WITH A LEGEND.
THERE'S A MARKED CONE AT THE
LOCATION OF EACH BODY PART.
AND EACH PHOTOGRAPH
CORRESPONDS TO A CONE.
- THAT'S HOW THEY DID IT
IN YOUR BOOK.
- SHE GOT THAT FROM ME.
THIS IS NOT A DISMEMBERMENT.
ARE YOU SURE, BONES? I MEAN, THIS IS
LOS ANGELES, YOU KNOW. THEY'RE SHOWY.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE BODY PARTS
WERE GROUND UP IN A LANDING GEAR...
AND THEN DUMPED WHEN
THE AIRPLANE LANDED?
THE DISPERSAL RATE IS WRONG. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE
THE BODY WAS PULLED APART BY A PACK OF DOGS.
- MORE LIKELY COYOTES.
- COYOTES AT THE AIRPORT?
- WE GOT COYOTES EVERYWHERE.
- DID YOU KNOW THAT?
NO. I THOUGHT COYOTES
WERE A COWBOY THING.
I'D LIKE TO SEE THE REMAINS NOW.
I NEED ALL THE DIRT, SILT, BITS AND
PIECES COLLECTED WITH BODY PARTS...
SENT BACK TO THE
JEFFERSONIAN IMMEDIATELY.
YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE? WHEN
THERE'S NO FLESH ON THE BONES.
- JUST A PERSONAL PREFERENCE.
- THERE'S NOT MUCH LEFT ANYWAY.
YOU KNOW, DR. BRENNAN, AS
A SCREENPLAY WRITER MYSELF,
I'D BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU ANY WAY
I CAN WITH REGARD TO YOUR MOVIE.
- EXCUSE ME?
- SOMEONE TOLD ME
THEY'RE THINKING...
- OF MAKING YOUR BOOK
INTO A MOVIE.
- SAY SOMETHING, BONES.
ALL I KNOW IS I'M SUPPOSED TO MEET SOME BIG
MOVIE PRODUCER WHILE I'M HERE IF I HAVE TIME,
WHICH I PROBABLY WON'T.
DOES THE PATHOLOGIST NEED ANY FURTHER
ACCESS TO THE REMAINING SOFT TISSUE?
UH, NO. HE GOT EVERYTHING
OUT OF IT HE COULD.
UH, SO MY OWN SCREENPLAY
IS ABOUT THIS F.B.I. AGENT...
WHO FINDS HERSELF ON THE
TRAIL OF A FORMER BOYFRIEND.
AND IT... OH. UM. GOD.
IT'S OKAY IF YOU HAVE TO LEAVE.
- THIS IS NOT GOOD.
- YEAH. THANKS FOR THAT INSIGHT.
NO. I MEAN, THE ARCHITECTURE OF
THE SKULL HAS BEEN RADICALLY ALTERED.
YOU MEAN BY ROTTING AND BEING EATEN BY
COYOTES AND HAVING THE FACE RIPPED OFF BY YOU?
NO, BY SURGERY.
LOTS OF SURGERY.
I'M NOT SURE I'LL BE ABLE
TO TELL WHO THIS WAS.
ARE YOU GETTING THE FEED,
ZACK? YES, DR. BRENNAN.
I'M LOOKING AT THE
X-RAYS YOU BEAMED.
I'M GOING TO HAVE
THE BONES CLEANED,
BUT THERE'S STILL
VESTIGES OF FLESH.
- HODGINS GOT CLOTHING REMNANTS
AND SILT THIS MORNING.
- ARE YOU THERE, ANGE?
HEY!
IS IT SUNNY, SWEETIE?
TELL ME IT'S SUNNY.
IT'S SUNNY. I SENT
YOU THE ENTIRE SKULL.
YOU WANT A
RECONSTRUCTION? IF YOU CAN.
IF I CAN? HAVE I
EVER FAILED YOU?
THIS ONE'S DIFFERENT. YOU'LL
SEE WHAT I MEAN WHEN YOU GET IT.
- ZACK?
- HERE, DR. BRENNAN.
I MAKE THIS A YOUNG WOMAN. EARLY
20s FROM THE LOOK OF THE X-RAYS.
- CAUSE OF DEATH?
- I SEE EVIDENCE OF STABBING.
ONE HIT TO THE STERNUM.
TWO TO THE COSTAL CARTILAGES.
- ESTIMATED TIME OF DEATH?
- DEGRADATION OF REMAINS
SUGGESTS...
THE BODY WAS LEFT OUT IN THE
OPEN BETWEEN A WEEK AND 10 DAYS.
THE MARKS ON THE BONES SUGGEST CARNIVOROUS
FEEDING BEYOND INSECTS, BIRDS AND RODENTS.
COYOTES. THEY HAVE COYOTES?
- YES.
- THAT'D EXPLAIN THE DISPERSAL
OF REMAINS.
A PACK OF COYOTES FINDS THE BODY, PULLS IT
APART AND SPREADS OUT TO EAT IN SOLITUDE.
THE TEETH ARE VENEERED. THE JAW HAS BEEN
BROKEN AND RESET. SAME WITH THE RIGHT LEG.
HAVE YOU SEEN ANY
MOVIE STARS YET?
- NO. WHY?
- APPARENTLY IT'S A CONTEST
WHEN YOU GO TO L.A.,
IN WHICH THE WINNER IS THE PERSON
WHO SEES THE MOST CELEBRITIES.
- YOU HAVE A WHOLE SKULL,
RIGHT?
- YES.
- SO WHY IS THIS GONNA BE
SO DIFFICULT?
- YOU'LL SEE.
ANGE, ON THE IRON AGE PROJECT, GOODMAN DOES
THIS THING. HODGINS ISN'T GOING TO LIKE IT.
WHAT THING? HE
THEORIZES IN A WAY...
IT SOUNDS LIKE HE'S
MAKING STUFF UP.
IT-IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN, BUT
IT'S GOING TO IRRITATE HODGINS.
HONEY, YOU'RE IN CALIFORNIA.
FORGET THE IRON AGE.
SKYBAR.
GO THERE TONIGHT.
TELL ME EVERYTHING.
DR. BRENNAN, ONE OF THESE X-RAYS
SHOWS TWO DARK CLUMPS NEAR THE PELVIS.
BEHIND WHAT'S
LEFT OF THE SPLEEN?
I GOT A LIST OF MISSING PERSONS.
WOMEN IN THEIR EARLY 20s.
OH, DO I REALLY HAVE TO
BE HERE FOR THIS PART?
- YOU THINK SHE SWALLOWED THAT?
- COULD BE BECAUSE
SHE WAS A DRUG MULE.
IT'S AN IMPLANT.
A BREAST IMPLANT.
- THOSE COME WITH SERIAL NUMBERS.
- WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY
OUR VICTIM...
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
UNLIKE OTHER BURIALS OF THE
TIME IN WHICH THE REMAINS...
WERE FOUND IN A SEMI-FETAL POSITION,
THIS FELLOW WAS FOUND ON HIS BACK,
ARMS AT HIS SIDES, WITH A PIECE
OF DECORATED ANTLER ON HIS CHEST.
- DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED ME HERE?
- THE ANTLER HONORS HIM
AS A HUNTER,
ALTHOUGH HIS WEAPONS
TELL US HE WAS A WARRIOR.
HE WAS IN HIS MID-30s WHEN HE
DIED. HE WAS 1.88 METERS TALL.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL THE DETRITUS FROM
BRENNAN'S HOLLYWOOD CRIME TO SIFT THROUGH.
6 FOOT 1? A BIG
MAN FOR HIS TIME.
FEARED BY HIS FOES,
RESPECTED BY HIS NEIGHBORS.
YOU ENCOURAGE THAT MUCH
CONJECTURE IN ARCHAEOLOGY? HUH.
HIS BONES BEAR THE
MARKS OF BATTLE.
HIS WEAPONS ARE OF
GOOD QUALITY, WELL USED.
HE WAS OLD FOR A WARRIOR.
YET HOW DID HE DIE, MR. ADDY?
LOOKS LIKE TUBERCULOSIS. AH.
A PROUD MAN.
IT'S NOT THE ENDING
HE WOULD HAVE WANTED.
YET HE WAS SURROUNDED
BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
A GOOD DEATH. OH, PLEASE.
- NOW YOU'RE DESCRIBING A SCENE
FROM LORD OF THE RINGS.
- I LIKED THAT MOVIE.
HE WAS BURIED WITH
RESPECT... WEAPONS, JEWELRY.
HIS FAMILY DID NOT
STINT OR PILFER.
- HAVE YOU FOUND ANY SPORES
OR FUNGI, DR. HODGINS?
- YES.
THEY CORRESPOND BOTH WITH THE TIME HE LIVED
AND THE GEOGRAPHY IN WHICH HE WAS FOUND.
HMM.
- WHAT?
- I'D LIKE DETAILS.
- YOU MEAN LIKE
A WRITTEN REPORT?
- YES.
OUR FINDINGS WILL HAVE TO BEAR
SCHOLARLY SCRUTINY FROM OUR PEERS.
WHAT'S HIS PROBLEM?
♪♪ ♪♪
MY HOTEL DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A
POOL. YOU'RE WELCOME TO USE MINE.
WELL, THE BREAST IMPLANT
LEAD WENT NOWHERE.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT
THE SERIAL NUMBERS?
THE IMPLANTS WERE REPORTED
STOLEN SIX MONTHS AGO.
OUR VICTIM MUST'VE GOTTEN
'EM OFF THE BLACK MARKET.
THERE'S A BLACK MARKET
IN BREAST IMPLANTS?
YEAH. WE HAVE THE NAME OF THE DOCTOR
FROM WHOM THE IMPLANTS WERE STOLEN.
WHO USES A BLACK-MARKET
BREAST IMPLANT?
BACK-ALLEY PLASTIC SURGEONS USE
THEM. THEY'RE NOT EVEN REAL DOCTORS.
ARE YOU GONNA WRITE
THE SCREENPLAY?
- WHAT SCREENPLAY?
- THE ONE BASED ON YOUR BOOK.
WELL, I GUESS MAYBE THE
PRODUCER I'M MEETING WILL TELL ME.
OKAY, GUYS. LET'S TURN OUR
ATTENTION BACK TO THE MURDER VICTIM.
I'D LIKE TO GO PAY A
VISIT TO DR. BOOBS.
WHY? IF THE IMPLANTS WERE STOLEN
FROM HIM, HE WON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY
LEAD THAT WE'VE GOT, FINN.
AND LEADS ARE GREAT
FOR SCREENPLAYS,
OR EVEN, SAY, IF YOU'RE
ACTUALLY WORKING A REAL CASE.
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
IS IT CHOCOLATE? NO.
THEN I FIND MY INTEREST
HAS FLAGGED. PHOO!
NICE. WHO IS IT? IT'S THE
HOLLYWOOD MURDER VICTIM.
OH, MY GOD.
I SEE WHAT BRENNAN MEANS. THIS
WOMAN HAS HAD A LOT OF SURGERY.
- WHAT'S WITH GOODMAN
AND HODGINS?
- OH, THEY'RE GUYS.
THEY SHOULD JUST LAY 'EM
OUT ON THE TABLE AND MEASURE.
- LAY WHAT OUT ON THE TABLE
AND MEASURE?
- OKAY, AWKWARD MOMENT.
LET'S JUST SAY THEY HAVE
DIFFERENT APPROACHES.
AND THEY'RE GUYS,
OKAY? I'M A GUY.
YOU'RE MORE HIGHLY EVOLVED.
THIS GIRL DIDN'T JUST CHANGE
HER FACE... SHE CHANGED HER SKULL.
THIS IS GONNA MAKE BRENNAN NUTS.
- YOU KNOW ONE THING.
- WHAT'S THAT?
SHE'S GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL.
WHY WOULD ANYONE GO THROUGH ALL
THIS PAIN AND NOT END UP BEAUTIFUL?
DO THE NAMES MICHAEL JACKSON OR
JOAN RIVERS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
ONE OF THEM. THE
OTHER I'LL LOOK UP.
EVERY CULTURE NURTURES IDEALS OF
BEAUTY TOWARD WHICH PEOPLE STRIVE. FINE.
BUT IN THE FUTURE, PEOPLE
WILL LOOK BACK UPON...
THE SURGICAL ALTERATIONS OF
THE NOSE OR BREASTS OR BUTTOCKS...
WITH THE SAME HORROR THAT
WE REGARD THE BINDING OF FEET...
OR THE USE OF BRONZE
COILS TO EXTEND THE NECK.
YOU WANT TO SPEAK UP? IT'S
REALLY HARD TO HEAR EVERY WORD...
IN THIS VERY, VERY
QUIET WAITING ROOM.
IT'S BARBARIC. IT'S
PAINFUL. IT'S WRONG.
THIS MURDER VICTIM MAY NEVER BE
IDENTIFIED BECAUSE SOME GLORIFIED BARBER...
WITH A MEDICAL DEGREE HAD THE ARROGANCE
TO THINK THAT HE COULD DO BETTER...
THAN MILLENNIA OF EVOLUTION.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
PRODUCER YOU'RE MEETING WITH?
NO. MY PUBLISHER
DIDN'T GIVE ME A NAME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT A
PRODUCER DOES SPECIFICALLY.
NOBODY DOES. BUT
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
DR. KOSTOV WILL SEE YOU NOW.
YOU CAN REMAIN HERE, AGENT FINN.
UH, YES, SIR.
YOU RECOGNIZE THIS, DR. KOSTOV?
THAT'D BE YOUR HIGH-PROFILE,
DOUBLE-LUMEN, FULL-C SALINE.
YEAH. IT'S FROM A SHIPMENT OF IMPLANTS
YOU REPORTED STOLEN SIX MONTHS AGO.
I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING
YOU'RE RETURNING ONE IMPLANT TO ME.
I FOUND IT IN THE REMAINS
OF A MURDERED GIRL.
HAVE ANY MORE OF THOSE
STOLEN IMPLANTS BEEN RECOVERED?
YEAH, APPROXIMATELY
THREE WEEKS AGO.
THERE WAS A FAULTY ONE THAT HAD TO
BE REMOVED BY A SURGEON IN THE VALLEY.
FROM WHOM? A HEIDI.
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
- L.A. SPEAK FOR CALL GIRL.
L.A.P.D. WAS INVESTIGATING. THEY CAN TELL
YOU WHAT AGENCY THE GIRL WAS WORKING FOR.
YOU HAVE THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL BONE STRUCTURE.
I CAN'T TAKE
CREDIT. IT'S GENETIC.
HOW OLD ARE YOU? WHY
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
WELL, IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO WATCH PROBLEM
AREAS. THE JAW, LITTLE POUCHES BENEATH THE EYES.
- DO YOU MIND?
- YOU TOUCH HER,
SHE'LL BREAK YOUR ARM.
- SHE THINKS WHAT YOU DO IS...
- BARBARIC.
NO. DON'T LOOK AT ME. I
LIKE MY FACE THE WAY IT IS.
SWEETIE, I'M HAVING A
HARD TIME WITH THIS SKULL.
DID YOU TRY FILLING IN
THE SURGICAL SCORING?
I CAN'T BE DEFINITIVE. ALL THE USUAL
INDICATORS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED.
I RECONSTRUCTED
THREE FACIAL VARIATIONS.
SHE HAD HER CHEEKBONES SHAVED, HER
CHIN CHANGED, HER JAW RECONSTRUCTED.
THAT'S JUST WHAT
SHE DID TO HER BONES.
WE DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT SHE DID TO THE
SOFT TISSUE. HER NOSE, HER BROWS, HER CHEEKS.
JUST START WITH HER BASIC
ARCHITECTURE, AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
WELL, THE BASIC ARCHITECTURE
IS WHAT I CAN'T FIND.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
MAKE A BEST ESTIMATE.
DID YOU JUST TELL ME TO GUESS?
NO, I SAID MAKE A BEST ESTIMATE BASED
UPON YOUR EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE.
OKAY. WELL, DRESS IT UP HOWEVER
YOU WANT, BUT IT'S STILL A GUESS.
LOOK, MY EXPERIENCE AND MY
EXPERTISE DON'T EXTEND TO THIS.
A FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION
MIGHT NOT BE HELPFUL IN THIS CASE.
ANGELA, I TOLD YOU IT'D BE
HARD. JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN.
OKAY, BREN, YOU'RE BEING A
LITTLE EDGY AND TART WITH ME.
ALL I'M TRYING TO DO
IS TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
WHAT THIS YOUNG
WOMAN DID TO HERSELF...
IT'S AS IF SHE COMPLETELY
REMOVED HER OWN IDENTITY.
WHO HATES HERSELF SO MUCH THAT SHE NOT ONLY
CHANGES HER LOOKS BUT HER CORE ARCHITECTURE?
IF WE DON'T KNOW WHO SHE IS,
HOW WILL WE BE ABLE TO CATCH
THE PERSON WHO MURDERED HER?
IS THAT YOUR WAY OF APOLOGIZING?
YES, ANGELA.
I ACCEPT. I LOVE
YOUR GUTS, SWEETIE.
ACCORDING TO L.A.P.D., A
BLACK-MARKET BREAST IMPLANT...
FROM THE SAME SHIPMENT SHOWED UP IN
ANOTHER GIRL FROM APHRODITE ESCORTS.
ARE YOU MISSING ANYONE?
WE'RE NOT LOOKING INTO
YOUR BUSINESS, MISS BARDU.
WE'RE JUST TRYING
TO SOLVE A MURDER.
I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM
RACHEL IN TWO WEEKS.
- IS THAT UNUSUAL?
- I PREFER TO ASK THE QUESTIONS
MY OWN WAY, AGENT FINN.
- THANKS.
- RACHEL BOOKED OUT
AT A ONE-WEEK RATE.
SHE KNOWS TO CHECK IN WITH ME IF THE
CLIENT WANTS TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT.
- IT'S TIME TO WORRY.
- DO ANY OF THESE WOMEN
RESEMBLE RACHEL?
IF I HAD TO PICK ONE, THIS IS
THE CLOSEST. BUT NOT REALLY.
MMM. RACHEL HAVE A LAST NAME?
RACHEL WASN'T EVEN
HER REAL FIRST NAME.
UH, SHE GOES BY RACHEL LaCHANCE.
RACHEL WENT TO VEGAS
WITH A LONGTIME CUSTOMER.
I NEED HIS NAME.
MISS BARDU, IT'S
ALWAYS THE SAME STORY.
A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN,
SOMEBODY WANTS TO MEET HER,
SOMEBODY CAN'T HAVE
HER, SOMEBODY DIES.
DR. ANTON KOSTOV. AN
ASSEMBLY-LINE NIP-TUCKER IN TOWN.
IF THAT'S ALL.
DO YOU HAVE A CARD, MISS BARDU?
WE PROVIDE A LAW
ENFORCEMENT DISCOUNT.
AH.
MISS BARDU, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT RACHEL
LOOKED LIKE BEFORE HER PLASTIC SURGERY?
WHICH TIME?
HIS SKULL IS IN
EXTREMELY GOOD SHAPE.
CRANIAL MEASUREMENTS ARE CONGRUENT
WITH ANCIENT SAXONS, CELTS AND PRE-ARYANS.
WHICH MATCHES THE
LOCATION OF THE FIND.
I USED SAXON TISSUE
DEPTH FOR THE MARKERS.
HOWEVER, EVERY SKULL
REQUIRES ITS OWN UNIQUE DEMANDS.
ARE YOU CERTAIN OF YOUR
CALCULATIONS, MISS MONTENEGRO?
A LOT MORE CERTAIN THAN I AM ON
BRENNAN'S HOLLYWOOD HOOKER CASE.
THIS IS A PICT. PICTI ACTUALLY
MEANS "PAINTED ONES" IN LATIN.
THE ROMANS FEARED THEM. VERY
LITTLE IS WRITTEN ABOUT THEM OR BY THEM.
FIERCE WARRIORS FALSELY
REPORTED TO BE SMALL IN STATURE.
- HE'S A PICT. SO WHAT?
- THE PICTS ARE FROM THE FAR,
FAR NORTH...
OF THE BRITISH ISLES...
FAR ABOVE HADRIAN'S WALL.
THE REMAINS WERE FOUND AT AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL
SITE IN SOUTHERN ENGLAND, NEAR WALES.
- A PICT CAN'T GO FOR A WALK?
- THESE REMAINS REPRESENT
AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL ANOMALY.
THIS IS UNIQUE IN THAT NO PICT HAS
EVER BEEN FOUND THIS FAR SOUTH BEFORE.
IF WE COULD REMOVE THE CLOTHING
AND TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE BONES...
IT'S A FACE. MAYBE
ANGELA GOT IT WRONG.
- HEY.
- ZACK SCREWED UP
THE MEASUREMENTS.
- HEY.
- THIS PICT BUSINESS SOUNDS
LIKE ONE OF YOUR STORIES.
ENOUGH.
ARE YOU TRYING TO GET FIRED?
SCIENCE IS NO COUNTRY
FOR STORYTELLERS, BABY.
KOSTOV KNEW RACHEL AS A PATIENT,
AND SHE KNEW HIM AS A CLIENT.
KOSTOV WASN'T THE VICTIM'S
ONLY PLASTIC SURGEON.
THESE ARE 10-TIMES MAGNIFICATIONS
OF THE VICTIM'S JAWBONE SURGERY.
KOSTOV DOESN'T DO
WORK THIS SOPHISTICATED.
MEANING SHE HAD MORE
THAN ONE PLASTIC SURGEON.
ZACK ADDY. I LIVE TO SERVE.
ZACK, THIS FACIAL SURGERY, THE
EDGES OF THE BONE ARE ALMOST SCALPED,
AS IF THE BLADE SIMULTANEOUSLY
CUT AND APPLIED TORSION.
YOU NEED TO KNOW IF THIS PROCEDURE
IS RECOGNIZED AND SANCTIONED...
BY THE AMERICAN
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION?
YOU THINK KOSTOV IS PERFORMING
ILLEGAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES?
IT WON'T HELP US DISCOVER THE
IDENTITY OF OUR VICTIM... MOVE.
BUT IT MIGHT HELP
CATCH HER KILLER. HEY!
- THAT'S THE POINT, BONES.
- WHAT?
- TO CATCH THE MURDERER.
- I'M SENDING YOU A CATALOG OF
THE STUFF THEY SENT ME.
SOIL SAMPLES, POLLEN, PARTICULATES,
ET CETERA, THAT WERE ON THE BODY PARTS.
NOTHING TOO SURPRISING
EXCEPT FOR E-GLASS FIBERS.
SHE DIDN'T PICK
THAT UP IN A FIELD.
NO. IT'S MARINE FIBERGLASS. THE VICTIM
WAS ON A BOAT SHORTLY BEFORE SHE DIED.
ALSO LOOK AT THIS. IT'S A
FINGERNAIL, PROBABLY HER OWN.
I SENT IT TO THE F.B.I. CRIME LAB
SO THEY CAN RUN D.N.A. TESTS.
THAT'S ZIRCONIUM BY
THE WAY, NOT A DIAMOND.
SO I'M GUESSING SHE WASN'T YOUR
TOP-DRAWER, HIGH-CLASS PROSTITUTE.
ALL THE OSTEOLOGICAL
PERTURBATIONS ARE CONSISTENT...
WITH RECENT ELECTIVE SURGERIES,
EXCEPT FOR COMPOUND FRACTURES...
IN THE RIGHT TIBIA AND FIBULA, WHICH INDICATE
TRAUMATIC COMPRESSION AND ADRENARCHE.
THE VICTIM HAD HER LEG CRUSHED,
PROBABLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT AROUND AGE 13.
EXCUSE ME. THAT'S MY CELL
PHONE. I ANALYZED THE MOLARS.
OXYGEN AND STRONTIUM ISOTOPES IN THE ENAMEL
INDICATE EARLY CHILDHOOD IN NEW ENGLAND.
WHILE THE DENTIN SUGGESTS SIX
TO 10 YEARS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
HEY, MISS BARDU. HI. IT'S SPECIAL AGENT
BOOTH. I RECONSIDERED YOUR OFFER.
I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD HAVE
ONE OF YOUR LADIES VISIT TODAY.
YOU'RE ORDERING A PROSTITUTE
FROM MY CELL PHONE?
I'M WONDERING IF RACHEL TOOK PART
IN ANY OF THOSE TWO-ON-ONE SPECIALS?
HEY, THE OLD TWO-ON-ONE
SPECIAL. CLASSIC.
- WHAT'S A CLASSIC?
- THAT'S GREAT. SEND ME WHOEVER
SHE WORKED WITH THE MOST.
YOU'RE ORDERING A
HOOKER TO MY HOTEL?
DID I HEAR YOU SAY HOOKER? HOW COME I
NEVER GET TO GO ON OUT-OF-TOWN TRIPS?
YOU HAVE MUCH LOOSER
DAILY ALLOWANCES THAN I DO.
WELL, HAVE FUN. I HAVE TO
GET UP EARLY TOMORROW.
- WHY?
- I'M MEETING THE PRODUCER.
♪♪
OH. YOU'RE ONE OF
THOSE GUYS. WHAT GUYS?
ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO
SAY THEY JUST WANT TO TALK.
I DO JUST WANT TO
TALK. I'M AN F.B.I. AGENT.
OKAY. I GET THE DRILL.
WHAT AM I PLAYING?
NO, REALLY. LESLIE, I... I
REALLY AM AN F.B.I. AGENT.
I JUST WANT TO ASK SOME
QUESTIONS. THAT'S ALL.
ABOUT WHAT? ABOUT
YOUR FRIEND RACHEL.
LOOK, I'M SORRY. BUT I THINK...
I THINK SHE'S BEEN MURDERED.
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.
GOD. RACHEL WAS SO NICE.
SHE WAS REALLY AN ACTRESS.
YOU KNOW, THE WAY
I'M REALLY A SINGER.
WE ALL SAY WE'RE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE ARE.
NONE OF US WANT
TO BE WHAT WE ARE.
DO YOU KNOW RACHEL'S REAL NAME?
CANDACE. CANDACE HAYDEN.
BUT I DOUBT THAT
WAS HER REAL NAME.
SHE SAID SHE WAS FROM STOCKTON. BUT I TOLD
HER I WAS FROM COEUR D'ALENE, AND I WAS LYING.
DO YOU KNOW WHY ANYONE
WOULD WANT CANDACE DEAD?
WE SEE THINGS WE
SHOULDN'T ALL THE TIME.
WE KNOW THINGS ABOUT POWERFUL
PEOPLE THEY DON'T WANT US TO KNOW.
CANDACE HAVE ANYONE IN HER LIFE?
NICK, FOR A WHILE.
I FORGET HIS LAST NAME, BUT HE
PLAYED SOME KIND OF TERRORIST ON 24.
HE GOT KILLED IN,
LIKE, FOUR SECONDS.
NICK KNOW THAT CANDACE WAS
A CALL GIRL? NO, NOT AT FIRST.
AND WHEN HE FOUND
OUT, HE WAS REALLY MAD.
HE SMASHED OUT ALL
THE WINDOWS OF HER CAR.
I'M SORRY, MISS, BUT YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE.
LISTEN, BUDDY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM
IS, BUT THIS IS MY LITTLE SISTER, OKAY?
I'M VISITING FROM COEUR D'ALENE.
I ASKED HER HERE FOR A DRINK,
WHICH IS TAKING A HELL
OF A LONG TIME, BY THE WAY.
I'M SORRY, SIR. BUT WE
HAVE STRICT RULES...
YOU MIGHT WANT TO
HAVE A LITTLE RESPECT.
CHECK ON THOSE
DRINKS FOR US, OKAY, PAL?
YES, SIR. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
SO, WE'RE JUST GONNA
SIT HERE AND HAVE A DRINK?
THAT'S ALL?
THAT'S ALL, LESLIE. HAVE
A DRINK, ENJOY THE VIEW,
PRETEND WE BELONG.
AND LATER, CATCH A MURDERER.
AGENT BOOTH, CAN I
HAVE A MOMENT, PLEASE?
UM, HAVE I DONE
SOMETHING TO OFFEND YOU?
LOOK, I'M NOT REALLY INTO THIS WHOLE "WEST COAST,
IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FEELINGS" THING, OKAY? SO...
YEAH. UM, I'M REALLY
GOOD AT MY JOB.
AND I'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT COOPERATIVE AND
HELPFUL TO YOU, BUT YOU JUST FREEZE ME OUT.
MM-HMM.
AND I KNOW YOU HAVE NOTHING
AGAINST WORKING WITH WOMEN,
BECAUSE YOU'RE
PARTNERS WITH DR. BRENNAN.
SO YOUR PROBLEM MUST BE WITH ME.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST YOU, AGENT FINN.
I JUST DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU VIEW THE F.B.I.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THIS
IS A PROUD AND NOBLE JOB,
BUT YOU'RE USING IT TO
GET TO SOMETHING ELSE.
MY ADVICE, WRITE YOUR
SCRIPT, GET AN AGENT.
HELL, HAVE A LITTLE
PLASTIC SURGERY.
BUT QUIT USING MY FEDERAL BUREAU
OF INVESTIGATION AS A STEPPING-STONE...
INTO SOMETHING THAT
YOU THINK IS BETTER.
BECAUSE IN MY BOOK,
THERE IS NOTHING BETTER.
I'M HERE WITH PENNY MARSHALL, ONE OF THE
MOST PROLIFIC HYPHENATES IN HOLLYWOOD.
ACTRESS, PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR OF
SUCH HITS AS A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN AND BIG.
HER LATEST PROJECT
IS BRED IN THE BONE.
IT'S A THRILLER BASED ON
THE BEST-SELLING NOVEL...
BY CRIME-FIGHTING ANTHROPOLOGIST
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN.
OKAY, SO HOW DID THIS
ALL COME TOGETHER?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
WELL, MY BROTHER, GARRY,
GAVE ME THE BOOK AND I LIKED IT.
THEN THIS WHOLE BIDDING WAR STARTED. AND I
USUALLY DON'T GET INTO THAT KIND OF THING,
BUT IN THIS CASE...
A BIDDING WAR?
- THAT'S GOTTA BE A THRILL
FOR A FIRST-TIME AUTHOR.
- I WASN'T ACTUALLY THERE.
YOU MUST BE A BIG FAN OF PENNY'S
FILMS. WHICH ONE'S YOUR FAVORITE?
WELL, I ENJOYED HER HUMOROUS
TREATMENT OF THE TIME-SPACE PARADOX.
AH. BIG!
THAT'S VERY FUNNY.
TIME-SPACE PARADOX.
PENNY, WHO IS GONNA
WRITE THE SCRIPT?
DON'T I GET TO DO THAT?
WE'LL TALK.
LET'S CUT, STOP, WHATEVER
YOU SAY. BRENNAN.
WELL, I WANT TO COME WITH YOU.
I HAVE TO GO 'CAUSE WE HAVE
A SUSPECT AND I HAVE TO GO.
WOULD YOU LOOK
AT THAT... PASSION.
♪♪
PRETTY GOOD CHANCE ONE OF
THESE LEAPING LOSERS IS OUR KILLER.
YOU ALWAYS THINK
IT'S THE BOYFRIEND.
WELL, HE LOVED HER. FOUND
OUT THAT SHE WAS A PROSTITUTE.
I'D SAY ANYONE WHO PLAYS THIS
STUPID GAME IS CAPABLE OF MURDER.
WELL, THEN, WE'VE GOT THIS CASE SEWED UP.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO AND ARREST THEM ALL?
EXCUSE ME, GUYS, LADIES.
LADIES, GENTLEMEN,
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.
WAIT! HEY!
HEY, EVERYONE WHO ISN'T
NICK HARVISON, GO GET THE BALL.
GO FETCH. IT'S OVER THERE.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.
GOD, SHE WAS SO SWEET.
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING
BACK TOGETHER WITH HER EVEN THOUGH...
YOU BROKE ALL THE
WINDOWS IN HER CAR?
WELL, WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU FOUND
OUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND WAS A PROSTITUTE?
WHEN DID YOU LAST
SEE RACHEL? SANDRA.
HER NAME WAS SANDRA CANE,
AT LEAST AS FAR AS I KNEW.
- WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE SANDRA?
- ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
I WAS TENDING BAR AT A
FUNCTION AT THE COLONY.
- DID YOU SPEAK TO HER?
- NO.
NO, I WAS WORKING. SO WAS SHE.
BUT I DIDN'T KILL HER.
HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW WHAT SHE WAS
DOING FOR MONEY? DID YOU KNOW HER AT ALL?
SHE SAID SHE WAS MODELING.
THE THING ABOUT SANDRA IS
THAT, AND AS PRETTY AS SHE WAS,
SHE WAS JUST NEVER
PRETTY ENOUGH.
SHE'D BE ALL BLACK-AND-BLUE.
AND THEN SHE WOULD HEAL,
AND SHE WOULD LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
I MEAN, REALLY,
REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
AND WE'D BE SURE THAT SOMETHING WAS GONNA
BREAK FOR HER. AND OF COURSE IT WOULDN'T.
AND THEN SHE WOULD BE
BACK IN FRONT OF THAT MIRROR.
AND NO MATTER WHAT I SAID...
LOOK. LOOK, I NEVER KNEW
HER. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HER.
I'M PROBABLY THE LAST GUY YOU
SHOULD BE ASKING ABOUT HER.
HE'S AN ACTOR. OF
COURSE HE'S CONVINCING.
I DON'T KNOW. HE DOESN'T
SEEM TO WORK VERY MUCH.
HE'S PLAYING VOLLEYBALL IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE DAY. JUST AN OBSERVATION.
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
- YOU ARE UNABLE TO POSITIVELY
AUTHENTICATE THE SKELETON?
- THAT IS CORRECT.
TOLD YOU.
GIVEN THE INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN
THE SPECIMEN'S GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION,
PHYSIOGNOMY AND ARTIFACTS, I CANNOT
IN GOOD FAITH AUTHENTICATE THE FIND.
IS THIS BECAUSE OF
HOW I MADE HIM LOOK?
'CAUSE THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
SUBJECTIVITY INVOLVED IN RE-CREATING A FACE.
A CERTAIN AMOUNT, YES. BUT THE
FACT IS, HE DISPLAYS PICTISH FEATURES.
FOR ALL WE KNOW, THIS SKULL
DOESN'T BELONG TO THIS BODY.
EVEN THOUGH ON X-RAYS IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE
HEAD IS PROPERLY ATTACHED TO THE SPINAL CORD.
WE COULD ACTUALLY GO IN AND
LOOK, CONFIRM THE AUTHENTICITY.
I DECLINE TO CONTINUE THE
INVESTIGATION AT THIS TIME.
WE WILL STORE THE
REMAINS IN THE INTERIM.
I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
HODGINS.
BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN
COLLEAGUES ON THIS,
MORE THAN SUPERIOR AND SUBORDINATE, I
HAVE ALLOWED YOU TO BE INSUBORDINATE.
BUT I WARN YOU,
DR. HODGINS, THAT IS OVER.
DO YOU WANT MY
LETTER OF RESIGNATION?
YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE BETTER?
PUT THEM ON THE TABLE AND MEASURE.
RIGHT? OKAY, LOOK.
EVERYBODY JUST
TURN AND WALK AWAY.
IF YOU WANT ME TO
RESIGN, JUST SAY SO.
MISS MONTENEGRO IS RIGHT.
YOU THINK YOU JUST
WON SOMETHING.
I'M TELLING YOU, GOODMAN
WAS THE BIGGER MAN.
ISN'T IT AGAINST YOUR ETHICAL CODE TO
HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH A PATIENT?
OR DO YOU GUYS EVEN
HAVE AN ETHICAL CODE?
SEX WITH PATIENTS
IS FROWNED UPON.
THAT'S WHY HE SAID THE IMPLANTS WERE STOLEN. NO
WAY TO PROVE HE WAS THE ONE WHO INSTALLED THEM.
I DID NOT KNOW RACHEL WAS
DEAD WHEN YOU LAST VISITED.
AND I DID NOT KILL RACHEL.
I MADE HER BEAUTIFUL.
YOU MEAN YOU TOOK WHAT WAS UNIQUE
AND PARTICULAR ABOUT HER AND DESTROYED IT.
YOU HAVE A SERIOUS NEUROSIS ON
THE SUBJECT. DO YOU HAVE A BOAT?
I DO FOUR BOOB JOBS A DAY AT 20
GRAND A POP. OF COURSE I HAVE A BOAT.
AND THAT'S ALL YOU
GET WITHOUT A LAWYER.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO, HUH?
PAY HIM IN HAIR PLUGS?
STILL WORKING ON THE MURDER
WEAPON? MAYBE IT'S NOT A KNIFE.
MAYBE IT'S SOME KIND OF
SHARPENED SCREWDRIVER.
WHY ARE YOU BEING SO
MEAN TO DR. GOODMAN?
I'M NOT BEING MEAN. I'M BEING
CRITICAL OF HIS PROCESS.
WHY ARE YOU BEING SO
CRITICAL OF HIS PROCESS?
GOODMAN SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THE FACTS. IS
THE SKELETON AUTHENTIC OR NOT? THAT'S ALL.
INSTEAD IT'S ALL A
MISHMASH OF CONJECTURE.
WHAT I THINK IS HE'S FORGOTTEN HOW TO DO
THE SCIENCE AND DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT IT.
WHY A SCREWDRIVER?
THERE WAS MORE TORSION IN THE CUT THAN A
FLAT-BLADED KNIFE COULD BEAR WITHOUT SNAPPING.
IT TWISTS WITHOUT BREAKING.
THE KILLER WOULD HAVE TO BE INCREDIBLY
STRONG, AND EVEN THEN THE BLADE WOULD SNAP.
THAT'S WHAT BRENNAN SAID
ABOUT THE JAW SURGERY THING.
- WHAT?
- I-I DON'T KNOW. I DO BUGS AND SILT.
BUT SHE SAID THE WORDS
TORSION AND TWIST AND CUT.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF SITUATION
WHERE PEOPLE SAY, "OH, MY GOD."
PRETEND YOU'RE A
PERSON AND SAY IT.
OH, MY GOD.
PROSTITUTE GETS
BREAST AUGMENTATION...
FROM PLASTIC SURGEON
IN RETURN FOR SEX.
SHE THREATENS TO
TELL ON HIM. PLAUSIBLE.
JEALOUS BOYFRIEND. WELL,
YADA YADA, YOU KNOW THE REST.
WHICH DO YOU LIKE? NEITHER.
BECAUSE THERE'S NO REAL EVIDENCE.
UNLESS YOU COUNTED VOLLEYBALL.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE
GETTING READY TO QUIT.
QUIT? NO.
THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR WANTS ME TO
HAND THE CASE OVER TO L.A. FIELD OFFICE.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE AGENT
FINN WHAT WE GOT AND GO HOME.
FORGET IT. YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE
AGENT FINN. YOU THINK SHE'S AN IDIOT.
BONES, THE WHOLE CASE
IS A BUST. IT'S A BLANK.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. WE
CHECKED HER APARTMENT. NOTHING.
THERE ARE NO PICTURES. NOTHING. WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE. WE DON'T KNOW HER NAME.
IT'S LIKE SHE LIVED ON
THE WORLD INSTEAD OF IN IT.
CULLEN IS CALLING YOU BACK
BECAUSE HE THINKS I'M AT A DEAD END.
YOU-YOU HAVE TO
TELL HIM HE'S WRONG.
IS HE WRONG?
WE KNOW WE'RE LOOKING FOR
SOMEONE WHO GREW UP IN NEW ENGLAND,
MOVED HERE ABOUT
EIGHT YEARS AGO.
HER LEG WAS CRUSHED IN A
CAR ACCIDENT WHEN SHE WAS 13.
SHE WAS ON A BOAT SHORTLY
BEFORE SHE WAS MURDERED.
WE KNOW SOME OF HER
NAMES AND SOME OF HER FACES.
THAT'S ALL YOUR STUFF.
USUALLY BY NOW WE KNOW
MORE ABOUT MY STUFF.
WHAT, WE HAVE SEPARATE STUFF? YEAH. BY
NOW, I USUALLY HAVE A FEEL FOR THE PERSON.
WHAT THEY WANTED, HOW THEY FELT,
WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES.
WITH THIS GIRL, NOTHING.
SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS UGLY.
SHE DID EVERYTHING SHE COULD
TO MAKE HERSELF BEAUTIFUL.
AND ALL SHE DID WAS MAKE
HERSELF MORE INVISIBLE.
EVERYBODY IN THIS CITY THINKS
THEY'RE UGLY... AND NOBODY IS.
I'M STARTING TO GET WHY YOU
HATE ANONYMOUS DEATH SO MUCH.
WE ARE BORN UNIQUE. OUR
EXPERIENCES MOLD AND CHANGE US.
WE BECOME SOMEONE... ALL OF US.
TO HAVE THAT TAKEN AWAY BY MURDER, TO
BE ERASED FROM EXISTENCE AGAINST OUR WILL,
IT'S JUST... EVIL?
UNACCEPTABLE. THESE BONES
YOU BRING ME, I GIVE THEM A FACE.
I SAY THEIR NAMES OUT LOUD. I
RETURN THEM TO THEIR LOVED ONES.
AND YOU ARREST THE BAD
GUY. I LIKE THAT. SO DO I.
I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE
ARRESTING THESE DOCTORS,
BECAUSE WHETHER THEY KILLED HER
OR NOT, THEY... THEY STILL ERASED HER.
WELL, MAYBE I COULD
HOLD CULLEN OFF FOR A DAY.
IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
BRENNAN.
THE MURDER WEAPON IS A LARGER
VERSION OF THE SURGICAL IMPLEMENT...
USED ON THE VICTIM'S JAW.
YOU COMPARED THE WOUNDS TO THE MARKS
LEFT ON HER JAW? THAT'S BRILLIANT, ZACK.
IT WAS HODGINS. WELL, HODGINS
QUOTING YOU, SO IT WAS US. GO, TEAM.
BUT GET THIS. ACCORDING TO THE
NATIONAL PLASTIC SURGERY ASSOCIATION,
THERE'S ONLY ONE SURGEON
WHO DOES THIS PROCEDURE.
- TELL ME HE'S IN L.A.
- HE'S IN L.A.
DR. HENRY ATLAS, RODEO
DRIVE, BEVERLY HILLS. GO.
I'M ETHICALLY BOUND TO
ASK YOU FOR A WARRANT...
BEFORE REVEALING THE
IDENTITY OF ANY OF MY PATIENTS.
LET ME TRY THIS THEN. THE, UH, JAW PROCEDURE
WHICH DR. BRENNAN DESCRIBED TO YOU AS...
WAS MY INNOVATION, YES.
THERE'S AN ADAGE IN MY BUSINESS:
YOU CAN'T ALTER THE BONE.
I'VE PROVEN IT INCORRECT,
GIVEN THE RIGHT PATIENTS.
- HOW MANY HAVE YOU DONE?
- PERHAPS HALF A DOZEN.
IF YOU GET A WARRANT, I WILL RELEASE
THE NAMES OF MY PATIENTS. OTHERWISE...
- DO YOU USE SPECIAL
OPERATING INSTRUMENTS?
- YES.
I DESIGNED THEM MYSELF
SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PROCEDURE.
- HAVE YOU PATENTED THEM OR
SHARED THE DESIGN WITH ANYONE?
- NOT YET.
HE'S WAITING UNTIL HE HAS ENOUGH
SUCCESS STORIES TO CASH IN.
WELL, HE'S GONNA BE SHORT
ONE SUCCESS STORY. THAT'S RIGHT.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT HERE. OH, SANDRA
CANE, RACHEL LaCHANCE, CANDACE HAYDEN.
ANY OF THESE WOMEN,
THEY RING A BELL?
- AS I HAVE REITERATED...
- I HAVE A SEARCH WARRANT
HERE...
TO COLLECT YOUR
SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS.
YOU'LL... YOU'LL SHUT ME DOWN.
YOU WILL COST ME A FORTUNE.
THE ONLY ONES WE REQUIRE, DR. ATLAS,
ARE THE ONES YOU DESIGNED YOURSELF.
SHE TOLD ME HER NAME
WAS SUSAN SHEPHERD.
BRILLIANT.
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?
YOU ARE A VERY DIFFICULT AND
STUBBORN MAN, DR. HODGINS.
RIGHT NOW, I'D LIKE NOTHING
MORE THAN TO FIRE YOU.
IN MY POSITION, VERY FEW PEOPLE
TELL ME THE TRUTH ANYMORE.
I FIND I ENJOY IT IN
SOME PERVERSE WAY.
YOU'RE WILLING TO ADMIT YOU
BAILED ON THE AUTHENTICATION?
YES. SERIOUSLY?
BUT NOT FOR THE
REASONS YOU THINK.
TRUE, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO
AUTHENTICATE THE SKELETON...
BY TAKING HIM APART,
DESTROYING HIM.
IF HE'S A FAKE, THAT WOULD
BE FINE. NOTHING LOST.
BUT I THINK HE'S THE REAL THING.
YOU DO KNOW HE'S BEEN
DEAD FOR 1,500 YEARS, RIGHT?
I AM AN ARCHAEOLOGIST.
THIS IS WHAT WE DO.
WE STEP OUTSIDE THE FACTS AND TELL OURSELVES
THE STORY OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR A CULTURE.
AND IF THE STORY I TELL MYSELF ABOUT
THIS MAN WHO LIVED 1,500 YEARS AGO IS TRUE,
IF HE WAS LAID TO REST BY PEOPLE
WHO RESPECT AND LOVED HIM,
DON'T I OWE IT TO THEM NOT TO LET THE
PURE SCIENTIST DESECRATE HIS REMAINS?
OR YOU COULD BE
TOTALLY RATIONAL...
AND SAY YOU WERE WAITING FOR IMAGING
TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE TO THE POINT...
WHERE IT WASN'T NECESSARY
TO DISASSEMBLE HIM.
AH. YES.
I SUPPOSE I COULD
SAY THAT. IT'S LESS, UH...
SENTIMENTAL, FOR
THE PURE SCIENTISTS.
I'VE GOT THE MURDER WEAPON.
WE HAVE THE MURDER WEAPON.
WE HAVE TRACE
EVIDENCE FROM YOUR BOAT.
WE HAVE TESTIMONY FROM YOUR
STAFF YOU ARGUED WITH A WOMAN...
YOU KNEW AS SUSAN SHEPHERD
SHORTLY BEFORE SHE DIED.
SO WHAT YOU NEED
NOW IS A CONFESSION.
YOUR PATIENT LIST IS WHAT'S
KNOWN AS AN A-LIST, RIGHT?
OSCAR WINNERS, SUPERMODELS,
SUPER-AGENTS, MOGULS.
SO HOW IS IT THAT A CALL
GIRL MAKES THE GRADE?
- YOU CAN ANSWER THAT, HENRY.
- I DID SUSAN'S PROCEDURE
PRO BONO.
- WHY?
- BECAUSE SHE VOLUNTEERED.
- SHE WAS A GUINEA PIG.
- HOW'D YOU MEET HER?
OH, COME ON. SUSAN JUST DIDN'T
WALK INTO YOUR OFFICE, DID SHE?
OH, JUST TELL THEM, HENRY.
THROUGH ANOTHER CALL
GIRL, ONE I USED REGULARLY.
SOMETIMES THESE GIRLS FROM
THE HIGH-CLASS ESTABLISHMENTS...
START TO HAVE EXPECTATIONS
BEYOND THE PROFESSIONAL.
WHAT, SHE THOUGHT YOU
WERE GONNA MARRY HER?
SOMETHING ALONG
THOSE LINES, YES.
SO I MADE A CHANGE. I
STARTED REQUESTING SUSAN.
DID YOU TRADE PLASTIC
SURGERY FOR SEXUAL FAVORS?
- OBFUSCATE, HENRY.
- WE DID EACH OTHER FAVORS. WENT FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS.
UNTIL SUSAN WANTED
YOU TO MARRY HER TOO?
NO. IN MY OPINION, SUSAN HAD
BECOME ADDICTED TO PLASTIC SURGERY.
I REFUSED TO DO ANY
MORE PROCEDURES.
THAT'S WHAT MY STAFF
HEARD US ARGUING ABOUT.
WHAT WAS SUSAN LIKE?
SHE WAS A GIRL NEXT DOOR.
SIMPLE, HEALTHY.
THE GIRL BEFORE SUSAN WAS THE
OPPOSITE. SHE WAS VERY FLASHY.
SHE HAD DIAMONDS IN HER INCISORS,
DIAMONDS IN HER FINGERNAILS.
- BONES, DIDN'T HODGINS
FIND A FINGERNAIL?
- YES, WITH A FAKE DIAMOND.
- SUSAN WAS
THE GIRL-NEXT-DOOR TYPE?
- IT WASN'T HER FINGERNAIL.
JEALOUSY, LIKE I SAID. SO WHAT WAS
THE NAME OF THE ESCORT BEFORE SUSAN?
THE FLASHY ONE, THE ONE WHO
THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA MARRY HER?
TELL THE MAN WHAT HE
NEEDS TO KNOW, HENRY.

SHE THOUGHT ATLAS WAS
GONNA TAKE HER OUT OF THE LIFE.
HE WANTED THE GIRL NEXT DOOR.
YOU WERE RIGHT... JEALOUSY.

AH, IT'S AN OLD STORY. I BET YOUR
1,500-YEAR-OLD FRIEND BACK HOME HEARD A VERSION.
LESLIE THOUGHT RACHEL WAS
STEALING HER MAN, SO SHE KILLED HER.
WHAT DID SHE ASK YOU? WHAT?
SHE ASKED YOU SOMETHING AFTER
SHE WAS ARRESTED. WHAT WAS IT?
SHE ASKED ME... IF I
THOUGHT SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL.
I GOT ONE MORE THING.
I HAD THE BUREAU SEARCH FOR ADOLESCENT

IN THE UPPER NORTHEAST
10 TO 12 YEARS AGO.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
FROM THE IRON AGE,
WERE FOUND AT THE BOTTOM
OF SHAFT THREE AT THE SITE.
THERE WERE FIVE SETS OF HUMAN REMAINS
FOUND. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE FOUND WHOLE.

OLD? HE SHOULDN'T LOOK THIS GOOD.

YOU USE TO BE AN ARCHAEOLOGIST?
YES, MR. ADDY. THANKS
FOR REMINDING ME.
X-RAYS, PICTURES. WE'RE GONNA
DO THIS WITHOUT TOUCHING...
THE ACTUAL SKELETON
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
- KID GLOVES?
- LATEX SHOULD BE ALL RIGHT.
ZACK, WERE YOU BEING METAPHORIC?
I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A SHOT,
WHICH IS ALSO METAPHORIC.
I NEED A RECEPTIONIST. I CAN'T
HAVE JUST ANYBODY WALTZING IN HERE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
A BUNCH OF RED CIRCLES?
EACH CIRCLE SHOWS WHERE
A BODY PART WAS FOUND.
- OH, IS THIS AN AIRPORT?
- LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL.
LOCAL PATHOLOGIST SAYS THE
REMAINS ARE IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE.
SO THEY PUNT IT TO THE F.B.I.?
AIRPORTS, THEY FALL UNDER FEDERAL
JURISDICTION. EXCELLENT USE OF THE WORD "PUNT."
I CAN'T GO TO LOS ANGELES. I HAVE AN
IRON AGE WARRIOR TO AUTHENTICATE.
IRON AGE WARRIOR? UH, WHEN
WAS THE IRON AGE? 1,500 YEARS AGO.
FRESH BODY BITS, JUST A
LITTLE BIT MORE URGENT.
YOU REALIZE THERE ARE A LOT MORE FRESH BODIES
THAN PERFECT SPECIMENS FROM THE IRON AGE?
WHEN YOU SAY THINGS LIKE
THAT, IT'S JUST TO BUG ME, RIGHT?
DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH
THIS EVERY TIME? EXACTLY.
BOOTH CAN'T JUST WALK IN AND SAY,
"PACK YOUR BAGS. WE'RE GOING TO L.A."
OH, YEAH, YEAH. THE WHOLE
ICE AGE WARRIOR THING.
- IRON AGE.
- AND THAT'S NOT THE ONLY THING.
HOMELAND SECURITY HAS JUST ASKED DR. BRENNAN
TO IDENTIFY THREE BODIES FOUND IN...
- I'M NOT ALLOWED TO SAY.
- THE POINT IS, AGENT BOOTH,
DR. BRENNAN IS IN DEMAND ON SEVERAL VERY
PRESSING CASES AND NEEDED HERE AT THE MUSEUM.
WHY SHOULD I SEND
HER TO CALIFORNIA?
SEXY CASE IN HOLLYWOOD. HOW MUCH MORE
GOOD PRESS COULD THE JEFFERSONIAN GET?

POLLENS, CORRECT? PROBABLY NOT.
DOZENS OF SPECIES OF POLLENS HAVE
BEEN DISCOVERED FROM THE CRETACEOUS ERA.
- HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT?
- SIXTY-FIVE MILLION YEARS.
THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD COMEBACK.
WHEN AUTHENTICATING A FIND LIKE THIS,
WE HAVE TO BE AT THE TOP OF OUR GAME.
YEAH, WELL, WE ALL KNOW

YOU RUN THE RISK OF BEING PROVEN WRONG.
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN
IF YOU EQUIVOCATE.

DR. GOODMAN WILL PLACE...
THE REPUTATION OF THE
INSTITUTION OVER EVERYTHING ELSE.
I'M AN ARCHAEOLOGIST. MY FINDINGS
WILL BE CONGRUENT WITH THE FACTS.
ALL DUE RESPECT, YOU USED
TO BE AN ARCHAEOLOGIST.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING
ON BETWEEN YOU TWO RIGHT NOW.
AGENT FINN, WHY WAS THE BODY
REMOVED FROM THE CRIME SCENE?
CALL ME TRICIA, DR. BRENNAN.
THE BODY WAS REMOVED BECAUSE
PARTS WERE VISIBLE TO ARRIVING FLIGHTS.
HERE'S A MAP OF THE
CRIME SCENE WITH A LEGEND.
THERE'S A MARKED CONE AT THE
LOCATION OF EACH BODY PART.
AND EACH PHOTOGRAPH
CORRESPONDS TO A CONE.
- THAT'S HOW THEY DID IT
IN YOUR BOOK.
- SHE GOT THAT FROM ME.
THIS IS NOT A DISMEMBERMENT.
ARE YOU SURE, BONES? I MEAN, THIS IS
LOS ANGELES, YOU KNOW. THEY'RE SHOWY.
IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE BODY PARTS
WERE GROUND UP IN A LANDING GEAR...
AND THEN DUMPED WHEN
THE AIRPLANE LANDED?
THE DISPERSAL RATE IS WRONG. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE
THE BODY WAS PULLED APART BY A PACK OF DOGS.
- MORE LIKELY COYOTES.
- COYOTES AT THE AIRPORT?
- WE GOT COYOTES EVERYWHERE.
- DID YOU KNOW THAT?
NO. I THOUGHT COYOTES
WERE A COWBOY THING.
I'D LIKE TO SEE THE REMAINS NOW.
I NEED ALL THE DIRT, SILT, BITS AND
PIECES COLLECTED WITH BODY PARTS...
SENT BACK TO THE
JEFFERSONIAN IMMEDIATELY.
YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKE? WHEN
THERE'S NO FLESH ON THE BONES.
- JUST A PERSONAL PREFERENCE.
- THERE'S NOT MUCH LEFT ANYWAY.
YOU KNOW, DR. BRENNAN, AS
A SCREENPLAY WRITER MYSELF,
I'D BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU ANY WAY
I CAN WITH REGARD TO YOUR MOVIE.
- EXCUSE ME?
- SOMEONE TOLD ME
THEY'RE THINKING...
- OF MAKING YOUR BOOK
INTO A MOVIE.
- SAY SOMETHING, BONES.
ALL I KNOW IS I'M SUPPOSED TO MEET SOME BIG
MOVIE PRODUCER WHILE I'M HERE IF I HAVE TIME,
WHICH I PROBABLY WON'T.
DOES THE PATHOLOGIST NEED ANY FURTHER
ACCESS TO THE REMAINING SOFT TISSUE?
UH, NO. HE GOT EVERYTHING
OUT OF IT HE COULD.
UH, SO MY OWN SCREENPLAY
IS ABOUT THIS F.B.I. AGENT...
WHO FINDS HERSELF ON THE
TRAIL OF A FORMER BOYFRIEND.
AND IT... OH. UM. GOD.
IT'S OKAY IF YOU HAVE TO LEAVE.
- THIS IS NOT GOOD.
- YEAH. THANKS FOR THAT INSIGHT.
NO. I MEAN, THE ARCHITECTURE OF
THE SKULL HAS BEEN RADICALLY ALTERED.
YOU MEAN BY ROTTING AND BEING EATEN BY
COYOTES AND HAVING THE FACE RIPPED OFF BY YOU?
NO, BY SURGERY.
LOTS OF SURGERY.
I'M NOT SURE I'LL BE ABLE
TO TELL WHO THIS WAS.
ARE YOU GETTING THE FEED,
ZACK? YES, DR. BRENNAN.
I'M LOOKING AT THE
X-RAYS YOU BEAMED.
I'M GOING TO HAVE
THE BONES CLEANED,
BUT THERE'S STILL
VESTIGES OF FLESH.
- HODGINS GOT CLOTHING REMNANTS
AND SILT THIS MORNING.

HEY!
IS IT SUNNY, SWEETIE?
TELL ME IT'S SUNNY.
IT'S SUNNY. I SENT

IF I CAN? HAVE I
EVER FAILED YOU?

SEE WHAT I MEAN WHEN YOU GET IT.
- ZACK?
- HERE, DR. BRENNAN.
I MAKE THIS A YOUNG WOMAN. EARLY
20s FROM THE LOOK OF THE X-RAYS.
- CAUSE OF DEATH?
- I SEE EVIDENCE OF STABBING.
ONE HIT TO THE STERNUM.
TWO TO THE COSTAL CARTILAGES.
- ESTIMATED TIME OF DEATH?
- DEGRADATION OF REMAINS
SUGGESTS...
THE BODY WAS LEFT OUT IN THE
OPEN BETWEEN A WEEK AND 10 DAYS.
THE MARKS ON THE BONES SUGGEST CARNIVOROUS
FEEDING BEYOND INSECTS, BIRDS AND RODENTS.
COYOTES. THEY HAVE COYOTES?
- YES.
- THAT'D EXPLAIN THE DISPERSAL
OF REMAINS.
A PACK OF COYOTES FINDS THE BODY, PULLS IT
APART AND SPREADS OUT TO EAT IN SOLITUDE.
THE TEETH ARE VENEERED. THE JAW HAS BEEN
BROKEN AND RESET. SAME WITH THE RIGHT LEG.
HAVE YOU SEEN ANY
MOVIE STARS YET?
- NO. WHY?
- APPARENTLY IT'S A CONTEST
WHEN YOU GO TO L.A.,
IN WHICH THE WINNER IS THE PERSON
WHO SEES THE MOST CELEBRITIES.
- YOU HAVE A WHOLE SKULL,
RIGHT?
- YES.
- SO WHY IS THIS GONNA BE
SO DIFFICULT?
- YOU'LL SEE.
ANGE, ON THE IRON AGE PROJECT, GOODMAN DOES
THIS THING. HODGINS ISN'T GOING TO LIKE IT.
WHAT THING? HE
THEORIZES IN A WAY...

WOMEN IN THEIR EARLY 20s.
OH, DO I REALLY HAVE TO
BE HERE FOR THIS PART?
- YOU THINK SHE SWALLOWED THAT?
- COULD BE BECAUSE
SHE WAS A DRUG MULE.
IT'S AN IMPLANT.
A BREAST IMPLANT.
- THOSE COME WITH SERIAL NUMBERS.
- WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY
OUR VICTIM...
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
UNLIKE OTHER BURIALS OF THE
TIME IN WHICH THE REMAINS...
WERE FOUND IN A SEMI-FETAL POSITION,
THIS FELLOW WAS FOUND ON HIS BACK,
ARMS AT HIS SIDES, WITH A PIECE
OF DECORATED ANTLER ON HIS CHEST.
- DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED ME HERE?
- THE ANTLER HONORS HIM
AS A HUNTER,
ALTHOUGH HIS WEAPONS

HE WAS IN HIS MID-30s WHEN HE
DIED. HE WAS 1.88 METERS TALL.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S ALL THE DETRITUS FROM
BRENNAN'S HOLLYWOOD CRIME TO SIFT THROUGH.
6 FOOT 1? A BIG

FEARED BY HIS FOES,
RESPECTED BY HIS NEIGHBORS.
YOU ENCOURAGE THAT MUCH
CONJECTURE IN ARCHAEOLOGY? HUH.
HIS BONES BEAR THE
MARKS OF BATTLE.
HIS WEAPONS ARE OF
GOOD QUALITY, WELL USED.
HE WAS OLD FOR A WARRIOR.
YET HOW DID HE DIE, MR. ADDY?
LOOKS LIKE TUBERCULOSIS. AH.
A PROUD MAN.
IT'S NOT THE ENDING
HE WOULD HAVE WANTED.
YET HE WAS SURROUNDED
BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
A GOOD DEATH. OH, PLEASE.

FROM WHOM THE IMPLANTS WERE STOLEN.
WHO USES A BLACK-MARKET
BREAST IMPLANT?
BACK-ALLEY PLASTIC SURGEONS USE
THEM. THEY'RE NOT EVEN REAL DOCTORS.
ARE YOU GONNA WRITE
THE SCREENPLAY?
- WHAT SCREENPLAY?
- THE ONE BASED ON YOUR BOOK.
WELL, I GUESS MAYBE THE
PRODUCER I'M MEETING WILL TELL ME.
OKAY, GUYS. LET'S TURN OUR
ATTENTION BACK TO THE MURDER VICTIM.
I'D LIKE TO GO PAY A
VISIT TO DR. BOOBS.
WHY? IF THE IMPLANTS WERE STOLEN
FROM HIM, HE WON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY
LEAD THAT WE'VE GOT, FINN.
AND LEADS ARE GREAT
FOR SCREENPLAYS,
OR EVEN, SAY, IF YOU'RE
ACTUALLY WORKING A REAL CASE.
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
IS IT CHOCOLATE? NO.
THEN I FIND MY INTEREST
HAS FLAGGED. PHOO!
NICE. WHO IS IT? IT'S THE
HOLLYWOOD MURDER VICTIM.
OH, MY GOD.
I SEE WHAT BRENNAN MEANS. THIS
WOMAN HAS HAD A LOT OF SURGERY.
- WHAT'S WITH GOODMAN
AND HODGINS?
- OH, THEY'RE GUYS.
THEY SHOULD JUST LAY 'EM
OUT ON THE TABLE AND MEASURE.
- LAY WHAT OUT ON THE TABLE
AND MEASURE?
- OKAY, AWKWARD MOMENT.
LET'S JUST SAY THEY HAVE
DIFFERENT APPROACHES.
AND THEY'RE GUYS,
OKAY? I'M A GUY.
YOU'RE MORE HIGHLY EVOLVED.
THIS GIRL DIDN'T JUST CHANGE
HER FACE... SHE CHANGED HER SKULL.
THIS IS GONNA MAKE BRENNAN NUTS.
- YOU KNOW ONE THING.
- WHAT'S THAT?
SHE'S GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL.
WHY WOULD ANYONE GO THROUGH ALL
THIS PAIN AND NOT END UP BEAUTIFUL?
DO THE NAMES MICHAEL JACKSON OR
JOAN RIVERS MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
ONE OF THEM. THE
OTHER I'LL LOOK UP.
EVERY CULTURE NURTURES IDEALS OF
BEAUTY TOWARD WHICH PEOPLE STRIVE. FINE.
BUT IN THE FUTURE, PEOPLE
WILL LOOK BACK UPON...
THE SURGICAL ALTERATIONS OF
THE NOSE OR BREASTS OR BUTTOCKS...
WITH THE SAME HORROR THAT
WE REGARD THE BINDING OF FEET...
OR THE USE OF BRONZE
COILS TO EXTEND THE NECK.
YOU WANT TO SPEAK UP? IT'S
REALLY HARD TO HEAR EVERY WORD...
IN THIS VERY, VERY
QUIET WAITING ROOM.
IT'S BARBARIC. IT'S
PAINFUL. IT'S WRONG.
THIS MURDER VICTIM MAY NEVER BE
IDENTIFIED BECAUSE SOME GLORIFIED BARBER...
WITH A MEDICAL DEGREE HAD THE ARROGANCE
TO THINK THAT HE COULD DO BETTER...
THAN MILLENNIA OF EVOLUTION.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT
PRODUCER YOU'RE MEETING WITH?
NO. MY PUBLISHER
DIDN'T GIVE ME A NAME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT A
PRODUCER DOES SPECIFICALLY.
NOBODY DOES. BUT
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
DR. KOSTOV WILL SEE YOU NOW.
YOU CAN REMAIN HERE, AGENT FINN.
UH, YES, SIR.
YOU RECOGNIZE THIS, DR. KOSTOV?
THAT'D BE YOUR HIGH-PROFILE,
DOUBLE-LUMEN, FULL-C SALINE.
YEAH. IT'S FROM A SHIPMENT OF IMPLANTS
YOU REPORTED STOLEN SIX MONTHS AGO.
I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING
YOU'RE RETURNING ONE IMPLANT TO ME.
I FOUND IT IN THE REMAINS
OF A MURDERED GIRL.
HAVE ANY MORE OF THOSE
STOLEN IMPLANTS BEEN RECOVERED?
YEAH, APPROXIMATELY
THREE WEEKS AGO.
THERE WAS A FAULTY ONE THAT HAD TO
BE REMOVED BY A SURGEON IN THE VALLEY.
FROM WHOM? A HEIDI.
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
- L.A. SPEAK FOR CALL GIRL.
L.A.P.D. WAS INVESTIGATING. THEY CAN TELL
YOU WHAT AGENCY THE GIRL WAS WORKING FOR.
YOU HAVE THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL BONE STRUCTURE.
I CAN'T TAKE
CREDIT. IT'S GENETIC.
HOW OLD ARE YOU? WHY
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
WELL, IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO WATCH PROBLEM
AREAS. THE JAW, LITTLE POUCHES BENEATH THE EYES.
- DO YOU MIND?
- YOU TOUCH HER,
SHE'LL BREAK YOUR ARM.
- SHE THINKS WHAT YOU DO IS...
- BARBARIC.
NO. DON'T LOOK AT ME. I
LIKE MY FACE THE WAY IT IS.
SWEETIE, I'M HAVING A
HARD TIME WITH THIS SKULL.
DID YOU TRY FILLING IN
THE SURGICAL SCORING?
I CAN'T BE DEFINITIVE. ALL THE USUAL
INDICATORS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED.
I RECONSTRUCTED
THREE FACIAL VARIATIONS.
SHE HAD HER CHEEKBONES SHAVED, HER
CHIN CHANGED, HER JAW RECONSTRUCTED.
THAT'S JUST WHAT
SHE DID TO HER BONES.
WE DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT SHE DID TO THE
SOFT TISSUE. HER NOSE, HER BROWS, HER CHEEKS.
JUST START WITH HER BASIC
ARCHITECTURE, AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.
WELL, THE BASIC ARCHITECTURE
IS WHAT I CAN'T FIND.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
MAKE A BEST ESTIMATE.
DID YOU JUST TELL ME TO GUESS?
NO, I SAID MAKE A BEST ESTIMATE BASED
UPON YOUR EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE.
OKAY. WELL, DRESS IT UP HOWEVER
YOU WANT, BUT IT'S STILL A GUESS.
LOOK, MY EXPERIENCE AND MY
EXPERTISE DON'T EXTEND TO THIS.
A FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION
MIGHT NOT BE HELPFUL IN THIS CASE.
ANGELA, I TOLD YOU IT'D BE
HARD. JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN.
OKAY, BREN, YOU'RE BEING A
LITTLE EDGY AND TART WITH ME.
ALL I'M TRYING TO DO
IS TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
WHAT THIS YOUNG
WOMAN DID TO HERSELF...
IT'S AS IF SHE COMPLETELY
REMOVED HER OWN IDENTITY.
WHO HATES HERSELF SO MUCH THAT SHE NOT ONLY
CHANGES HER LOOKS BUT HER CORE ARCHITECTURE?
IF WE DON'T KNOW WHO SHE IS,
HOW WILL WE BE ABLE TO CATCH
THE PERSON WHO MURDERED HER?
IS THAT YOUR WAY OF APOLOGIZING?
YES, ANGELA.
I ACCEPT. I LOVE
YOUR GUTS, SWEETIE.
ACCORDING TO L.A.P.D., A
BLACK-MARKET BREAST IMPLANT...
FROM THE SAME SHIPMENT SHOWED UP IN
ANOTHER GIRL FROM APHRODITE ESCORTS.
ARE YOU MISSING ANYONE?
WE'RE NOT LOOKING INTO
YOUR BUSINESS, MISS BARDU.
WE'RE JUST TRYING
TO SOLVE A MURDER.
I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM
RACHEL IN TWO WEEKS.
- IS THAT UNUSUAL?
- I PREFER TO ASK THE QUESTIONS
MY OWN WAY, AGENT FINN.
- THANKS.
- RACHEL BOOKED OUT
AT A ONE-WEEK RATE.
SHE KNOWS TO CHECK IN WITH ME IF THE
CLIENT WANTS TO EXTEND THE CONTRACT.
- IT'S TIME TO WORRY.
- DO ANY OF THESE WOMEN
RESEMBLE RACHEL?
IF I HAD TO PICK ONE, THIS IS
THE CLOSEST. BUT NOT REALLY.
MMM. RACHEL HAVE A LAST NAME?
RACHEL WASN'T EVEN
HER REAL FIRST NAME.
UH, SHE GOES BY RACHEL LaCHANCE.
RACHEL WENT TO VEGAS
WITH A LONGTIME CUSTOMER.
I NEED HIS NAME.
MISS BARDU, IT'S
ALWAYS THE SAME STORY.
A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN,
SOMEBODY WANTS TO MEET HER,
SOMEBODY CAN'T HAVE
HER, SOMEBODY DIES.
DR. ANTON KOSTOV. AN
ASSEMBLY-LINE NIP-TUCKER IN TOWN.
IF THAT'S ALL.
DO YOU HAVE A CARD, MISS BARDU?
WE PROVIDE A LAW
ENFORCEMENT DISCOUNT.
AH.
MISS BARDU, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT RACHEL
LOOKED LIKE BEFORE HER PLASTIC SURGERY?
WHICH TIME?
HIS SKULL IS IN
EXTREMELY GOOD SHAPE.
CRANIAL MEASUREMENTS ARE CONGRUENT
WITH ANCIENT SAXONS, CELTS AND PRE-ARYANS.
WHICH MATCHES THE
LOCATION OF THE FIND.
I USED SAXON TISSUE
DEPTH FOR THE MARKERS.
HOWEVER, EVERY SKULL
REQUIRES ITS OWN UNIQUE DEMANDS.
ARE YOU CERTAIN OF YOUR
CALCULATIONS, MISS MONTENEGRO?
A LOT MORE CERTAIN THAN I AM ON
BRENNAN'S HOLLYWOOD HOOKER CASE.
THIS IS A PICT. PICTI ACTUALLY
MEANS "PAINTED ONES" IN LATIN.
THE ROMANS FEARED THEM. VERY
LITTLE IS WRITTEN ABOUT THEM OR BY THEM.
FIERCE WARRIORS FALSELY
REPORTED TO BE SMALL IN STATURE.
- HE'S A PICT. SO WHAT?
- THE PICTS ARE FROM THE FAR,
FAR NORTH...
OF THE BRITISH ISLES...
FAR ABOVE HADRIAN'S WALL.
THE REMAINS WERE FOUND AT AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL
SITE IN SOUTHERN ENGLAND, NEAR WALES.
- A PICT CAN'T GO FOR A WALK?
- THESE REMAINS REPRESENT
AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL ANOMALY.
THIS IS UNIQUE IN THAT NO PICT HAS
EVER BEEN FOUND THIS FAR SOUTH BEFORE.
IF WE COULD REMOVE THE CLOTHING
AND TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE BONES...
IT'S A FACE. MAYBE
ANGELA GOT IT WRONG.
- HEY.
- ZACK SCREWED UP
THE MEASUREMENTS.
- HEY.
- THIS PICT BUSINESS SOUNDS
LIKE ONE OF YOUR STORIES.
ENOUGH.
ARE YOU TRYING TO GET FIRED?
SCIENCE IS NO COUNTRY
FOR STORYTELLERS, BABY.
KOSTOV KNEW RACHEL AS A PATIENT,
AND SHE KNEW HIM AS A CLIENT.
KOSTOV WASN'T THE VICTIM'S
ONLY PLASTIC SURGEON.
THESE ARE 10-TIMES MAGNIFICATIONS
OF THE VICTIM'S JAWBONE SURGERY.
KOSTOV DOESN'T DO
WORK THIS SOPHISTICATED.
MEANING SHE HAD MORE
THAN ONE PLASTIC SURGEON.
ZACK ADDY. I LIVE TO SERVE.
ZACK, THIS FACIAL SURGERY, THE
EDGES OF THE BONE ARE ALMOST SCALPED,
AS IF THE BLADE SIMULTANEOUSLY
CUT AND APPLIED TORSION.
YOU NEED TO KNOW IF THIS PROCEDURE
IS RECOGNIZED AND SANCTIONED...
BY THE AMERICAN
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION?
YOU THINK KOSTOV IS PERFORMING
ILLEGAL SURGICAL PROCEDURES?
IT WON'T HELP US DISCOVER THE
IDENTITY OF OUR VICTIM... MOVE.
BUT IT MIGHT HELP
CATCH HER KILLER. HEY!
- THAT'S THE POINT, BONES.
- WHAT?
- TO CATCH THE MURDERER.
- I'M SENDING YOU A CATALOG OF
THE STUFF THEY SENT ME.
SOIL SAMPLES, POLLEN, PARTICULATES,
ET CETERA, THAT WERE ON THE BODY PARTS.
NOTHING TOO SURPRISING
EXCEPT FOR E-GLASS FIBERS.
SHE DIDN'T PICK
THAT UP IN A FIELD.
NO. IT'S MARINE FIBERGLASS. THE VICTIM
WAS ON A BOAT SHORTLY BEFORE SHE DIED.
ALSO LOOK AT THIS. IT'S A
FINGERNAIL, PROBABLY HER OWN.
I SENT IT TO THE F.B.I. CRIME LAB
SO THEY CAN RUN D.N.A. TESTS.
THAT'S ZIRCONIUM BY
THE WAY, NOT A DIAMOND.
SO I'M GUESSING SHE WASN'T YOUR
TOP-DRAWER, HIGH-CLASS PROSTITUTE.
ALL THE OSTEOLOGICAL
PERTURBATIONS ARE CONSISTENT...
WITH RECENT ELECTIVE SURGERIES,
EXCEPT FOR COMPOUND FRACTURES...
IN THE RIGHT TIBIA AND FIBULA, WHICH INDICATE
TRAUMATIC COMPRESSION AND ADRENARCHE.
THE VICTIM HAD HER LEG CRUSHED,
PROBABLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT AROUND AGE 13.
EXCUSE ME. THAT'S MY CELL
PHONE. I ANALYZED THE MOLARS.
OXYGEN AND STRONTIUM ISOTOPES IN THE ENAMEL
INDICATE EARLY CHILDHOOD IN NEW ENGLAND.
WHILE THE DENTIN SUGGESTS SIX
TO 10 YEARS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
HEY, MISS BARDU. HI. IT'S SPECIAL AGENT
BOOTH. I RECONSIDERED YOUR OFFER.
I WAS WONDERING IF I COULD HAVE
ONE OF YOUR LADIES VISIT TODAY.
YOU'RE ORDERING A PROSTITUTE
FROM MY CELL PHONE?
I'M WONDERING IF RACHEL TOOK PART
IN ANY OF THOSE TWO-ON-ONE SPECIALS?
HEY, THE OLD TWO-ON-ONE
SPECIAL. CLASSIC.
- WHAT'S A CLASSIC?
- THAT'S GREAT. SEND ME WHOEVER
SHE WORKED WITH THE MOST.
YOU'RE ORDERING A
HOOKER TO MY HOTEL?
DID I HEAR YOU SAY HOOKER? HOW COME I
NEVER GET TO GO ON OUT-OF-TOWN TRIPS?
YOU HAVE MUCH LOOSER
DAILY ALLOWANCES THAN I DO.
WELL, HAVE FUN. I HAVE TO
GET UP EARLY TOMORROW.
- WHY?
- I'M MEETING THE PRODUCER.
♪♪
OH. YOU'RE ONE OF
THOSE GUYS. WHAT GUYS?
ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO
SAY THEY JUST WANT TO TALK.
I DO JUST WANT TO
TALK. I'M AN F.B.I. AGENT.
OKAY. I GET THE DRILL.
WHAT AM I PLAYING?
NO, REALLY. LESLIE, I... I
REALLY AM AN F.B.I. AGENT.
I JUST WANT TO ASK SOME
QUESTIONS. THAT'S ALL.
ABOUT WHAT? ABOUT
YOUR FRIEND RACHEL.
LOOK, I'M SORRY. BUT I THINK...
I THINK SHE'S BEEN MURDERED.
THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.
GOD. RACHEL WAS SO NICE.
SHE WAS REALLY AN ACTRESS.
YOU KNOW, THE WAY
I'M REALLY A SINGER.
WE ALL SAY WE'RE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE ARE.
NONE OF US WANT
TO BE WHAT WE ARE.
DO YOU KNOW RACHEL'S REAL NAME?
CANDACE. CANDACE HAYDEN.
BUT I DOUBT THAT
WAS HER REAL NAME.
SHE SAID SHE WAS FROM STOCKTON. BUT I TOLD
HER I WAS FROM COEUR D'ALENE, AND I WAS LYING.
DO YOU KNOW WHY ANYONE
WOULD WANT CANDACE DEAD?
WE SEE THINGS WE
SHOULDN'T ALL THE TIME.
WE KNOW THINGS ABOUT POWERFUL
PEOPLE THEY DON'T WANT US TO KNOW.
CANDACE HAVE ANYONE IN HER LIFE?
NICK, FOR A WHILE.
I FORGET HIS LAST NAME, BUT HE
PLAYED SOME KIND OF TERRORIST ON 24.
HE GOT KILLED IN,
LIKE, FOUR SECONDS.
NICK KNOW THAT CANDACE WAS
A CALL GIRL? NO, NOT AT FIRST.
AND WHEN HE FOUND
OUT, HE WAS REALLY MAD.
HE SMASHED OUT ALL
THE WINDOWS OF HER CAR.
I'M SORRY, MISS, BUT YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE.
LISTEN, BUDDY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM
IS, BUT THIS IS MY LITTLE SISTER, OKAY?
I'M VISITING FROM COEUR D'ALENE.
I ASKED HER HERE FOR A DRINK,
WHICH IS TAKING A HELL
OF A LONG TIME, BY THE WAY.
I'M SORRY, SIR. BUT WE
HAVE STRICT RULES...
YOU MIGHT WANT TO
HAVE A LITTLE RESPECT.
CHECK ON THOSE
DRINKS FOR US, OKAY, PAL?
YES, SIR. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
SO, WE'RE JUST GONNA
SIT HERE AND HAVE A DRINK?
THAT'S ALL?
THAT'S ALL, LESLIE. HAVE
A DRINK, ENJOY THE VIEW,
PRETEND WE BELONG.
AND LATER, CATCH A MURDERER.
AGENT BOOTH, CAN I
HAVE A MOMENT, PLEASE?
UM, HAVE I DONE
SOMETHING TO OFFEND YOU?
LOOK, I'M NOT REALLY INTO THIS WHOLE "WEST COAST,
IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FEELINGS" THING, OKAY? SO...
YEAH. UM, I'M REALLY
GOOD AT MY JOB.
AND I'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT COOPERATIVE AND
HELPFUL TO YOU, BUT YOU JUST FREEZE ME OUT.
MM-HMM.
AND I KNOW YOU HAVE NOTHING
AGAINST WORKING WITH WOMEN,
BECAUSE YOU'RE
PARTNERS WITH DR. BRENNAN.
SO YOUR PROBLEM MUST BE WITH ME.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST YOU, AGENT FINN.
I JUST DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU VIEW THE F.B.I.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THIS
IS A PROUD AND NOBLE JOB,
BUT YOU'RE USING IT TO
GET TO SOMETHING ELSE.
MY ADVICE, WRITE YOUR
SCRIPT, GET AN AGENT.
HELL, HAVE A LITTLE
PLASTIC SURGERY.
BUT QUIT USING MY FEDERAL BUREAU
OF INVESTIGATION AS A STEPPING-STONE...
INTO SOMETHING THAT
YOU THINK IS BETTER.
BECAUSE IN MY BOOK,
THERE IS NOTHING BETTER.
I'M HERE WITH PENNY MARSHALL, ONE OF THE
MOST PROLIFIC HYPHENATES IN HOLLYWOOD.
ACTRESS, PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR OF
SUCH HITS AS A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN AND BIG.
HER LATEST PROJECT
IS BRED IN THE BONE.
IT'S A THRILLER BASED ON
THE BEST-SELLING NOVEL...
BY CRIME-FIGHTING ANTHROPOLOGIST
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN.
OKAY, SO HOW DID THIS
ALL COME TOGETHER?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
WELL, MY BROTHER, GARRY,
GAVE ME THE BOOK AND I LIKED IT.
THEN THIS WHOLE BIDDING WAR STARTED. AND I
USUALLY DON'T GET INTO THAT KIND OF THING,
BUT IN THIS CASE...
A BIDDING WAR?
- THAT'S GOTTA BE A THRILL
FOR A FIRST-TIME AUTHOR.
- I WASN'T ACTUALLY THERE.
YOU MUST BE A BIG FAN OF PENNY'S
FILMS. WHICH ONE'S YOUR FAVORITE?
WELL, I ENJOYED HER HUMOROUS
TREATMENT OF THE TIME-SPACE PARADOX.
AH. BIG!
THAT'S VERY FUNNY.
TIME-SPACE PARADOX.
PENNY, WHO IS GONNA
WRITE THE SCRIPT?
DON'T I GET TO DO THAT?
WE'LL TALK.
LET'S CUT, STOP, WHATEVER
YOU SAY. BRENNAN.
WELL, I WANT TO COME WITH YOU.
I HAVE TO GO 'CAUSE WE HAVE
A SUSPECT AND I HAVE TO GO.
WOULD YOU LOOK
AT THAT... PASSION.
♪♪
PRETTY GOOD CHANCE ONE OF
THESE LEAPING LOSERS IS OUR KILLER.
YOU ALWAYS THINK
IT'S THE BOYFRIEND.
WELL, HE LOVED HER. FOUND
OUT THAT SHE WAS A PROSTITUTE.
I'D SAY ANYONE WHO PLAYS THIS
STUPID GAME IS CAPABLE OF MURDER.
WELL, THEN, WE'VE GOT THIS CASE SEWED UP.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO AND ARREST THEM ALL?
EXCUSE ME, GUYS, LADIES.
LADIES, GENTLEMEN,
EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.
WAIT! HEY!
HEY, EVERYONE WHO ISN'T
NICK HARVISON, GO GET THE BALL.
GO FETCH. IT'S OVER THERE.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.
GOD, SHE WAS SO SWEET.
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING
BACK TOGETHER WITH HER EVEN THOUGH...
YOU BROKE ALL THE
WINDOWS IN HER CAR?
WELL, WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU FOUND
OUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND WAS A PROSTITUTE?
WHEN DID YOU LAST
SEE RACHEL? SANDRA.
HER NAME WAS SANDRA CANE,
AT LEAST AS FAR AS I KNEW.
- WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE SANDRA?
- ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
I WAS TENDING BAR AT A
FUNCTION AT THE COLONY.
- DID YOU SPEAK TO HER?
- NO.
NO, I WAS WORKING. SO WAS SHE.
BUT I DIDN'T KILL HER.
HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW WHAT SHE WAS
DOING FOR MONEY? DID YOU KNOW HER AT ALL?
SHE SAID SHE WAS MODELING.
THE THING ABOUT SANDRA IS
THAT, AND AS PRETTY AS SHE WAS,
SHE WAS JUST NEVER
PRETTY ENOUGH.
SHE'D BE ALL BLACK-AND-BLUE.
AND THEN SHE WOULD HEAL,
AND SHE WOULD LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
I MEAN, REALLY,
REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
AND WE'D BE SURE THAT SOMETHING WAS GONNA
BREAK FOR HER. AND OF COURSE IT WOULDN'T.
AND THEN SHE WOULD BE
BACK IN FRONT OF THAT MIRROR.
AND NO MATTER WHAT I SAID...
LOOK. LOOK, I NEVER KNEW
HER. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HER.
I'M PROBABLY THE LAST GUY YOU
SHOULD BE ASKING ABOUT HER.
HE'S AN ACTOR. OF
COURSE HE'S CONVINCING.
I DON'T KNOW. HE DOESN'T
SEEM TO WORK VERY MUCH.
HE'S PLAYING VOLLEYBALL IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE DAY. JUST AN OBSERVATION.
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
- YOU ARE UNABLE TO POSITIVELY
AUTHENTICATE THE SKELETON?
- THAT IS CORRECT.
TOLD YOU.
GIVEN THE INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN
THE SPECIMEN'S GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION,
PHYSIOGNOMY AND ARTIFACTS, I CANNOT
IN GOOD FAITH AUTHENTICATE THE FIND.
IS THIS BECAUSE OF
HOW I MADE HIM LOOK?
'CAUSE THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
SUBJECTIVITY INVOLVED IN RE-CREATING A FACE.
A CERTAIN AMOUNT, YES. BUT THE
FACT IS, HE DISPLAYS PICTISH FEATURES.
FOR ALL WE KNOW, THIS SKULL
DOESN'T BELONG TO THIS BODY.
EVEN THOUGH ON X-RAYS IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE
HEAD IS PROPERLY ATTACHED TO THE SPINAL CORD.
WE COULD ACTUALLY GO IN AND
LOOK, CONFIRM THE AUTHENTICITY.
I DECLINE TO CONTINUE THE
INVESTIGATION AT THIS TIME.
WE WILL STORE THE
REMAINS IN THE INTERIM.
I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
HODGINS.
BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN
COLLEAGUES ON THIS,
MORE THAN SUPERIOR AND SUBORDINATE, I
HAVE ALLOWED YOU TO BE INSUBORDINATE.
BUT I WARN YOU,
DR. HODGINS, THAT IS OVER.
DO YOU WANT MY
LETTER OF RESIGNATION?
YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE BETTER?
PUT THEM ON THE TABLE AND MEASURE.
RIGHT? OKAY, LOOK.
EVERYBODY JUST
TURN AND WALK AWAY.
IF YOU WANT ME TO
RESIGN, JUST SAY SO.
MISS MONTENEGRO IS RIGHT.
YOU THINK YOU JUST
WON SOMETHING.
I'M TELLING YOU, GOODMAN
WAS THE BIGGER MAN.
ISN'T IT AGAINST YOUR ETHICAL CODE TO
HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH A PATIENT?
OR DO YOU GUYS EVEN
HAVE AN ETHICAL CODE?
SEX WITH PATIENTS
IS FROWNED UPON.
THAT'S WHY HE SAID THE IMPLANTS WERE STOLEN. NO
WAY TO PROVE HE WAS THE ONE WHO INSTALLED THEM.
I DID NOT KNOW RACHEL WAS
DEAD WHEN YOU LAST VISITED.
AND I DID NOT KILL RACHEL.
I MADE HER BEAUTIFUL.
YOU MEAN YOU TOOK WHAT WAS UNIQUE
AND PARTICULAR ABOUT HER AND DESTROYED IT.
YOU HAVE A SERIOUS NEUROSIS ON
THE SUBJECT. DO YOU HAVE A BOAT?
I DO FOUR BOOB JOBS A DAY AT 20
GRAND A POP. OF COURSE I HAVE A BOAT.
AND THAT'S ALL YOU
GET WITHOUT A LAWYER.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO, HUH?
PAY HIM IN HAIR PLUGS?
STILL WORKING ON THE MURDER
WEAPON? MAYBE IT'S NOT A KNIFE.
MAYBE IT'S SOME KIND OF
SHARPENED SCREWDRIVER.
WHY ARE YOU BEING SO
MEAN TO DR. GOODMAN?
I'M NOT BEING MEAN. I'M BEING
CRITICAL OF HIS PROCESS.
WHY ARE YOU BEING SO
CRITICAL OF HIS PROCESS?
GOODMAN SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THE FACTS. IS
THE SKELETON AUTHENTIC OR NOT? THAT'S ALL.
INSTEAD IT'S ALL A
MISHMASH OF CONJECTURE.
WHAT I THINK IS HE'S FORGOTTEN HOW TO DO
THE SCIENCE AND DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT IT.
WHY A SCREWDRIVER?
THERE WAS MORE TORSION IN THE CUT THAN A
FLAT-BLADED KNIFE COULD BEAR WITHOUT SNAPPING.
IT TWISTS WITHOUT BREAKING.
THE KILLER WOULD HAVE TO BE INCREDIBLY
STRONG, AND EVEN THEN THE BLADE WOULD SNAP.
THAT'S WHAT BRENNAN SAID
ABOUT THE JAW SURGERY THING.
- WHAT?
- I-I DON'T KNOW. I DO BUGS AND SILT.
BUT SHE SAID THE WORDS
TORSION AND TWIST AND CUT.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF SITUATION
WHERE PEOPLE SAY, "OH, MY GOD."
PRETEND YOU'RE A
PERSON AND SAY IT.
OH, MY GOD.
PROSTITUTE GETS
BREAST AUGMENTATION...
FROM PLASTIC SURGEON
IN RETURN FOR SEX.
SHE THREATENS TO
TELL ON HIM. PLAUSIBLE.
JEALOUS BOYFRIEND. WELL,
YADA YADA, YOU KNOW THE REST.
WHICH DO YOU LIKE? NEITHER.
BECAUSE THERE'S NO REAL EVIDENCE.
UNLESS YOU COUNTED VOLLEYBALL.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE
GETTING READY TO QUIT.
QUIT? NO.
THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR WANTS ME TO
HAND THE CASE OVER TO L.A. FIELD OFFICE.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE AGENT
FINN WHAT WE GOT AND GO HOME.
FORGET IT. YOU DON'T EVEN LIKE
AGENT FINN. YOU THINK SHE'S AN IDIOT.
BONES, THE WHOLE CASE
IS A BUST. IT'S A BLANK.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. WE
CHECKED HER APARTMENT. NOTHING.
THERE ARE NO PICTURES. NOTHING. WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE. WE DON'T KNOW HER NAME.
IT'S LIKE SHE LIVED ON
THE WORLD INSTEAD OF IN IT.
CULLEN IS CALLING YOU BACK
BECAUSE HE THINKS I'M AT A DEAD END.
YOU-YOU HAVE TO
TELL HIM HE'S WRONG.
IS HE WRONG?
WE KNOW WE'RE LOOKING FOR
SOMEONE WHO GREW UP IN NEW ENGLAND,
MOVED HERE ABOUT
EIGHT YEARS AGO.
HER LEG WAS CRUSHED IN A
CAR ACCIDENT WHEN SHE WAS 13.
SHE WAS ON A BOAT SHORTLY
BEFORE SHE WAS MURDERED.
WE KNOW SOME OF HER
NAMES AND SOME OF HER FACES.
THAT'S ALL YOUR STUFF.
USUALLY BY NOW WE KNOW
MORE ABOUT MY STUFF.
WHAT, WE HAVE SEPARATE STUFF? YEAH. BY
NOW, I USUALLY HAVE A FEEL FOR THE PERSON.
WHAT THEY WANTED, HOW THEY FELT,
WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES.
WITH THIS GIRL, NOTHING.
SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS UGLY.
SHE DID EVERYTHING SHE COULD
TO MAKE HERSELF BEAUTIFUL.
AND ALL SHE DID WAS MAKE
HERSELF MORE INVISIBLE.
EVERYBODY IN THIS CITY THINKS
THEY'RE UGLY... AND NOBODY IS.
I'M STARTING TO GET WHY YOU
HATE ANONYMOUS DEATH SO MUCH.
WE ARE BORN UNIQUE. OUR
EXPERIENCES MOLD AND CHANGE US.
WE BECOME SOMEONE... ALL OF US.
TO HAVE THAT TAKEN AWAY BY MURDER, TO
BE ERASED FROM EXISTENCE AGAINST OUR WILL,
IT'S JUST... EVIL?
UNACCEPTABLE. THESE BONES
YOU BRING ME, I GIVE THEM A FACE.
I SAY THEIR NAMES OUT LOUD. I
RETURN THEM TO THEIR LOVED ONES.
AND YOU ARREST THE BAD
GUY. I LIKE THAT. SO DO I.
I FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD BE
ARRESTING THESE DOCTORS,
BECAUSE WHETHER THEY KILLED HER
OR NOT, THEY... THEY STILL ERASED HER.
WELL, MAYBE I COULD
HOLD CULLEN OFF FOR A DAY.
IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
BRENNAN.
THE MURDER WEAPON IS A LARGER
VERSION OF THE SURGICAL IMPLEMENT...
USED ON THE VICTIM'S JAW.
YOU COMPARED THE WOUNDS TO THE MARKS
LEFT ON HER JAW? THAT'S BRILLIANT, ZACK.
IT WAS HODGINS. WELL, HODGINS
QUOTING YOU, SO IT WAS US. GO, TEAM.
BUT GET THIS. ACCORDING TO THE
NATIONAL PLASTIC SURGERY ASSOCIATION,
THERE'S ONLY ONE SURGEON
WHO DOES THIS PROCEDURE.
- TELL ME HE'S IN L.A.
- HE'S IN L.A.
DR. HENRY ATLAS, RODEO
DRIVE, BEVERLY HILLS. GO.
I'M ETHICALLY BOUND TO
ASK YOU FOR A WARRANT...
BEFORE REVEALING THE
IDENTITY OF ANY OF MY PATIENTS.
LET ME TRY THIS THEN. THE, UH, JAW PROCEDURE
WHICH DR. BRENNAN DESCRIBED TO YOU AS...
WAS MY INNOVATION, YES.
THERE'S AN ADAGE IN MY BUSINESS:
YOU CAN'T ALTER THE BONE.
I'VE PROVEN IT INCORRECT,
GIVEN THE RIGHT PATIENTS.
- HOW MANY HAVE YOU DONE?
- PERHAPS HALF A DOZEN.
IF YOU GET A WARRANT, I WILL RELEASE
THE NAMES OF MY PATIENTS. OTHERWISE...
- DO YOU USE SPECIAL
OPERATING INSTRUMENTS?
- YES.
I DESIGNED THEM MYSELF
SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PROCEDURE.
- HAVE YOU PATENTED THEM OR
SHARED THE DESIGN WITH ANYONE?
- NOT YET.
HE'S WAITING UNTIL HE HAS ENOUGH
SUCCESS STORIES TO CASH IN.
WELL, HE'S GONNA BE SHORT
ONE SUCCESS STORY. THAT'S RIGHT.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT HERE. OH, SANDRA
CANE, RACHEL LaCHANCE, CANDACE HAYDEN.
ANY OF THESE WOMEN,
THEY RING A BELL?
- AS I HAVE REITERATED...
- I HAVE A SEARCH WARRANT
HERE...
TO COLLECT YOUR
SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS.
YOU'LL... YOU'LL SHUT ME DOWN.
YOU WILL COST ME A FORTUNE.
THE ONLY ONES WE REQUIRE, DR. ATLAS,
ARE THE ONES YOU DESIGNED YOURSELF.
SHE TOLD ME HER NAME
WAS SUSAN SHEPHERD.
BRILLIANT.
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?
YOU ARE A VERY DIFFICULT AND
STUBBORN MAN, DR. HODGINS.
RIGHT NOW, I'D LIKE NOTHING
MORE THAN TO FIRE YOU.
IN MY POSITION, VERY FEW PEOPLE
TELL ME THE TRUTH ANYMORE.
I FIND I ENJOY IT IN
SOME PERVERSE WAY.
YOU'RE WILLING TO ADMIT YOU
BAILED ON THE AUTHENTICATION?
YES. SERIOUSLY?
BUT NOT FOR THE
REASONS YOU THINK.
TRUE, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO
AUTHENTICATE THE SKELETON...
BY TAKING HIM APART,
DESTROYING HIM.
IF HE'S A FAKE, THAT WOULD
BE FINE. NOTHING LOST.
BUT I THINK HE'S THE REAL THING.
YOU DO KNOW HE'S BEEN
DEAD FOR 1,500 YEARS, RIGHT?
I AM AN ARCHAEOLOGIST.
THIS IS WHAT WE DO.
WE STEP OUTSIDE THE FACTS AND TELL OURSELVES
THE STORY OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR A CULTURE.
AND IF THE STORY I TELL MYSELF ABOUT
THIS MAN WHO LIVED 1,500 YEARS AGO IS TRUE,
IF HE WAS LAID TO REST BY PEOPLE
WHO RESPECT AND LOVED HIM,
DON'T I OWE IT TO THEM NOT TO LET THE
PURE SCIENTIST DESECRATE HIS REMAINS?
OR YOU COULD BE
TOTALLY RATIONAL...
AND SAY YOU WERE WAITING FOR IMAGING
TECHNOLOGY TO IMPROVE TO THE POINT...
WHERE IT WASN'T NECESSARY
TO DISASSEMBLE HIM.
AH. YES.
I SUPPOSE I COULD
SAY THAT. IT'S LESS, UH...
SENTIMENTAL, FOR
THE PURE SCIENTISTS.
I'VE GOT THE MURDER WEAPON.
WE HAVE THE MURDER WEAPON.
WE HAVE TRACE
EVIDENCE FROM YOUR BOAT.
WE HAVE TESTIMONY FROM YOUR
STAFF YOU ARGUED WITH A WOMAN...
YOU KNEW AS SUSAN SHEPHERD
SHORTLY BEFORE SHE DIED.
SO WHAT YOU NEED
NOW IS A CONFESSION.
YOUR PATIENT LIST IS WHAT'S
KNOWN AS AN A-LIST, RIGHT?
OSCAR WINNERS, SUPERMODELS,
SUPER-AGENTS, MOGULS.
SO HOW IS IT THAT A CALL
GIRL MAKES THE GRADE?
- YOU CAN ANSWER THAT, HENRY.
- I DID SUSAN'S PROCEDURE
PRO BONO.
- WHY?
- BECAUSE SHE VOLUNTEERED.
- SHE WAS A GUINEA PIG.
- HOW'D YOU MEET HER?
OH, COME ON. SUSAN JUST DIDN'T
WALK INTO YOUR OFFICE, DID SHE?
OH, JUST TELL THEM, HENRY.
THROUGH ANOTHER CALL
GIRL, ONE I USED REGULARLY.
SOMETIMES THESE GIRLS FROM
THE HIGH-CLASS ESTABLISHMENTS...
START TO HAVE EXPECTATIONS
BEYOND THE PROFESSIONAL.
WHAT, SHE THOUGHT YOU
WERE GONNA MARRY HER?
SOMETHING ALONG
THOSE LINES, YES.
SO I MADE A CHANGE. I
STARTED REQUESTING SUSAN.
DID YOU TRADE PLASTIC
SURGERY FOR SEXUAL FAVORS?
- OBFUSCATE, HENRY.
- WE DID EACH OTHER FAVORS. WENT FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS.
UNTIL SUSAN WANTED
YOU TO MARRY HER TOO?
NO. IN MY OPINION, SUSAN HAD
BECOME ADDICTED TO PLASTIC SURGERY.
I REFUSED TO DO ANY
MORE PROCEDURES.
THAT'S WHAT MY STAFF
HEARD US ARGUING ABOUT.
WHAT WAS SUSAN LIKE?
SHE WAS A GIRL NEXT DOOR.
SIMPLE, HEALTHY.
THE GIRL BEFORE SUSAN WAS THE
OPPOSITE. SHE WAS VERY FLASHY.
SHE HAD DIAMONDS IN HER INCISORS,
DIAMONDS IN HER FINGERNAILS.
- BONES, DIDN'T HODGINS
FIND A FINGERNAIL?
- YES, WITH A FAKE DIAMOND.
- SUSAN WAS
THE GIRL-NEXT-DOOR TYPE?
- IT WASN'T HER FINGERNAIL.
JEALOUSY, LIKE I SAID. SO WHAT WAS
THE NAME OF THE ESCORT BEFORE SUSAN?
THE FLASHY ONE, THE ONE WHO
THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA MARRY HER?
TELL THE MAN WHAT HE
NEEDS TO KNOW, HENRY.

SHE THOUGHT ATLAS WAS
GONNA TAKE HER OUT OF THE LIFE.
HE WANTED THE GIRL NEXT DOOR.
YOU WERE RIGHT... JEALOUSY.

AH, IT'S AN OLD STORY. I BET YOUR
1,500-YEAR-OLD FRIEND BACK HOME HEARD A VERSION.
LESLIE THOUGHT RACHEL WAS
STEALING HER MAN, SO SHE KILLED HER.
WHAT DID SHE ASK YOU? WHAT?
SHE ASKED YOU SOMETHING AFTER
SHE WAS ARRESTED. WHAT WAS IT?
SHE ASKED ME... IF I
THOUGHT SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL.
I GOT ONE MORE THING.
I HAD THE BUREAU SEARCH FOR ADOLESCENT
GIRLS THAT WERE INJURED IN CAR CRASHES...
IN THE UPPER NORTHEAST
10 TO 12 YEARS AGO.
DAUGHTER'S RIGHT
LEG WAS CRUSHED.
ALLISON. HER NAME
WAS ALLISON HOLMES.
HER FATHER AND HER BROTHER ARE
STILL ALIVE, SOMEWHERE IN BANGOR, MAINE.
WE'LL RETURN THE
REMAINS. THANKS, BOOTH.
WELL, BONES, YOU DO
YOUR THING, I DO MINE.
LOOK AT HER.
YEAH. PRETTY LITTLE THING.
