Bones (2005–2017): Season 1, Episode 13 - The Woman in the Garden - full transcript

IF YOU HAD ANY
KIND OF WEAPON, ♪♪

LIKE A GUN OR A KNIFE OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT, YOU'D LET ME KNOW, RIGHT, BUDDY?

MAKE IT EASIER ON YOURSELF.
GUYS, FEDS ARE ON THE WAY.

WHY'D THEY CALL IN THE
F.B.I. TO LITTLE SALVADOR?

WELL, THE CAR'S GOT VIRGINIA
PLATES, CROSSED THE STATE LINE.

THERE'S A SUSPECTED GANG MEMBER. THEN THERE'S RICO
TO DEAL WITH. BONES, DO YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW?

NO. I WAS JUST USING IT AS AN EXCUSE TO MAKE
CONVERSATION AND REESTABLISH OUR CONNECTION.

WHAT? I READ A BOOK ABOUT
IMPROVING WORK RELATIONSHIPS.

IT'S NOT FAIR TO EXPECT YOU TO TELL
ME EVERYTHING. I APPRECIATE THE EFFORT.

IT'S LIKE THEY RECREATED THEIR COUNTRY HERE,
RIGHT DOWN TO BEING TERRIFIED OF THE POLICE.

A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE, THEY'RE UNDOCUMENTED.
THEY GET NERVOUS AROUND LAW ENFORCEMENT.



WHAT DO WE GOT?
HE RAN THE STOP SIGN.

I PULLED HIM OVER. HE TRIED
TO RUN. OH, LOOK AT THIS, HUH?

MARA MUERTE TATTOO. IT'S ONE OF
THE MOST FEARED GANGS IN THE AREA.

NO WONDER HE WAS CHAUFFEURING
A DEAD BODY AROUND, HUH?

- COULDN'T JUST JOIN
THE BOYS CLUB, PAL?
- AND I'M HERE BECAUSE...

ROUTINE INSPECTION
OF THE VEHICLE...

I FOUND THIS.

OH!

VERTICAL BROW RIDGE
SUGGESTS FEMALE.

RECENTLY DUG UP, LOOKS LIKE.

COULD YOU HOLD HIS
HANDS UP, PLEASE?

WE SHOULD ANALYZE
THE DIRT ON HIS HANDS...

AND COMPARE IT TO THE DIRT
ON THE SHOVEL AND THE REMAINS.

WHERE WAS SHE BURIED?



GREAT. NOW HE'S IGNORING US IN TWO
LANGUAGES. WHERE'S THE NEAREST CEMETERY?

THE CLOSEST ONE I KNOW
ABOUT IS HOLY ROOD.

BUT THAT'S A GOOD
10 MILES FROM HERE.

MAYBE YOUR SPANISH
IS A LITTLE RUSTY.

THEY COME FROM A PLACE WHERE
GETTING INVOLVED GETS YOU KILLED.

GET DOWN! GET DOWN!

SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED!

HEY!

HEY!

DON'T MAKE ME SHOOT YOU!

UH, DECOMP, INSECT ACTIVITY.

VOLATILE FATTY ACID
LEVELS IN THE SOIL...

DUE TO PUTREFACTION SUGGEST SHE WAS
BURIED FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS.

TYPICALLY, GRAVEDIGGERS ARE
NECROPHILIACS LOOKING FOR A LITTLE ACTION.

- UM, EW.
- DENTAL EXAM SHOWS SHOVELED
INCISORS AND STRIATED ENAMEL.

- INDICATING?
- MALNUTRITION.

WHICH IS CONSISTENT
WITH ANTHROPOMETRICS,

SUGGESTING THE VICTIM
IS FROM CENTRAL AMERICA.

THE BODY WAS FOUND IN A
SALVADORAN NEIGHBORHOOD.

IN PIKEVILLE, TENNESSEE, A GUY DUG
UP THE GRAVES OF ALL THESE PEOPLE...

BECAUSE HE WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THEIR BODIES WERE STILL THERE.

- THEY WEREN'T.
- MAKE A SKETCH OF THE FACE.

I'M NOT SURE WE'LL FIND A MATCH.
SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN UNDOCUMENTED.

GOODMAN IS AN EXPERT
IN RELIGIOUS ICONOGRAPHY.

MAYBE HE'LL BE ABLE TO DETERMINE
WHERE THIS ROSARY WAS MADE.

DEPRESSION FRACTURE ON HER OCCIPITAL
BONE STRADDLING THE LEFT LAMDOIDAL SUTURE.

LOOKS LIKE ONE HARD HIT
CONGRUENT WITH, SAY, A BASEBALL BAT.

SHE WAS RELIGIOUS. SHE
SHOULD'VE HAD A CASKET,

A PROPER BURIAL WITH
HER NAME ON A HEADSTONE.

WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT WHO SHE
IS, AND WE ARE GOING TO GIVE HER THAT.

MIGUEL VALLEDA,

WARLORD OF THE VANGANZA
ROJA STREET GANG.

ACCORDING TO THIS, YOU...
YOU ARE ONE FIERCE, FIERCE GUY.

- IT DIDN'T STOP YOUR GUYS
FROM PICKING ME UP.
- THEY TELL YOU WHY?

SOMEONE TOOK A SHOT AT
SOME MARA MUERTE ESPUMA.

NOT A SHOT, HMM? A
COUPLE DOZEN SHOTS.

A DRIVE-BY. HARDLY ANYONE IS STUPID
ENOUGH TO SHOOT AT THOSE GUYS ANYMORE.

YOUR NAME CAME UP.

IT WASN'T MY PEOPLE. SO ARE YOU GONNA
CHARGE ME WITH SOMETHING OR LET ME GO?

EXTORTION, DRUGS, ASSAULT,
ATTEMPTED MURDER, HMM?

I COULD HOLD YOU FOR A WHILE
IF YOU WANNA PLAY THAT GAME.

WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM,
MAN? WHAT'S MY PROBLEM?

MY PROBLEM IS THAT SOMEBODY SHOT
AT ME... SHOT AT ME AND MY PARTNER.

PLUS, A BAD GUY GOT AWAY. SO I'M A
LITTLE CRANKY ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.

MMM.

I DON'T REALLY SCARE THAT WAY. YOU KNOW,
THE WHOLE IN-YOUR-FACE STARING THING.

NO? NO.

GIVE ME A CHANCE, MAN. I'M
JUST GETTING STARTED. MMM.

SO SOMEBODY SHOT AT
YOU, HUH? THAT'S RIGHT.

THINK ABOUT IT. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU
HEARD OF A DRIVE-BY WHERE NO ONE GOT HIT?

INNOCENT BYSTANDERS MOSTLY. IT'S
NOT LIKE YOU ALWAYS HIT WHAT YOU AIM AT.

THINK JUST FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS
ABOUT WHY THE GUY NEVER GOT HIT.

AH, YEAH. YOU SEE?
YOU GOT IT NOW?

YOU'RE SAYING THAT MARA MUERTE
DID A DRIVE-BY ON THEIR OWN GUY?

A DRIVE-BY HAPPENS, YEAH,
AND YOU ALL HIT THE DECK.

AND THE GANGBANGER
MAKES A RUN FOR IT.

I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY THAT
THE GUYS WHO SHOT AT OUR KILLER...

WERE DOING IT SO HE'D
HAVE A CHANCE TO ESCAPE.

THE VICTIM WAS PREGNANT
WHEN SHE WAS HIT OVER THE HEAD.

PREGNANT? YEAH, FIVE WEEKS
ALONG. GET YOUR HANDS OFF THERE.

I RAN SAMPLES FROM THE BODY, SHOVEL AND
BURLAP THROUGH THE GAS CHROMATOGRAPH,

AND IT ALL CAME BACK FULL
OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS.

PLANT DETRITUS, ROOT
REMNANTS, FERTILIZER.

- SOUNDS LIKE STUFF
YOU'D FIND IN A CEMETERY.
- I ALSO FOUND THIS.

FERNALDIA PANDURATA,
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS LOROCO BUDS.

LOROCO IS AN EDIBLE FLOWERING
PLANT. IT'S NATIVE TO EL SALVADOR.

IT'S GROWN IN VEGETABLE
GARDENS, NOT CEMETERIES.

- SHE WAS BURIED
IN A VEGETABLE GARDEN?
- MMM.

- OKAY. CAN YOU RECOGNIZE
THIS LOCO PLANT?
- LOROCO.

I'VE EATEN IT, BUT I WOULDN'T
RECOGNIZE THE PLANT.

IT'S QUITE DISTINCTIVE. I'M ALSO ANALYZING
THE DIRT ON THE SHOE YOU GOT OFF THE SUSPECT.

IT MATCHES THE VEGETATION
WE'VE ALREADY FOUND,

BUT WITH A COUPLE EXTRAS
I'M STILL CHECKING OUT.

OKAY. HODGINS, SUIT UP.
YOU'RE COMING WITH US.

WE'RE GOIN' TO THE
BARRIO. FIELD WORK.

COOL! DO I GET A GUN?

YOU CAN'T ARM
HODGINS AND NOT ME.

WHAT IS IT WITH YOU
PEOPLE AND THE GUNS, HUH?

LOOK AT THIS. THE GOVERNMENT BANKRUPTS
ITSELF GIVING TAX BREAKS TO THE RICH.

THERE'S NO MONEY LEFT TO HELP THESE PEOPLE
WITH JOB TRAINING, EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE.

JUST LOOK FOR A
GARDEN WITH THE PLANT.

THOSE WHO DO MANAGE TO LAND A
JOB ARE WORKING FOR A MINIMUM WAGE...

THAT HASN'T SEEN A
HIKE IN EIGHT YEARS.

THAT'S FOR THOSE HERE LEGALLY.
THE UNDOCUMENTED DO A LOT WORSE.

WHAT IS THIS, N.P.R. RADIO? HUH?
WHAT, ARE YOU TWO RUNNING FOR OFFICE?

LOOK. OVER THERE.

LOROCO PLANT.

THAT'S THE SAME APPROXIMATE MATURITY
THAT WOULD'VE YIELDED THE BUDS WE FOUND.

ADIPOCERE.

FORMS ON THE BODY IN RESPONSE
TO MOISTURE ON THE GROUND.

TROGID BEETLES. THEY GOT A
THING FOR DECOMPOSING FLESH.

I FOUND A COUPLE ON THE
BURLAP. THE REST OF THE ROSARY.

THERE'S ANOTHER FRESHLY-OVERTURNED
PILE OF DIRT OVER HERE.

- MORE ADIPOCERE.
- NOT FROM THE SAME BODY?

ANOTHER BODY WAS BURIED
HERE, BUT IT'S GONE NOW.

DOUBLE HOMICIDE.

I SPOKE TO THE CITY
DEVELOPMENT OFFICE.

GARDEN IS SCHEDULED TO BE
EXCAVATED NEXT WEEK FOR CONSTRUCTION.

MY GUESS IS WE INTERRUPTED A GANGBANGER
MOVING THE BODY OF TWO MURDER VICTIMS.

A GANGBANGER WHO BURIES
HIS VICTIM WITH A ROSARY?

DID YOU FIND ANY GUNSHOT
WOUNDS? NO. JUST HEAD TRAUMA.

YOU REALLY LIKE THIS PART,
DON'T YOU? I LIKE ANSWERS, YES.

LOCALIZED STAINING ON THE
ENDOCRANIAL SURFACE, INDICATING...

SUBDURAL HEMATOMA.

THE HEAD WOUND CAUSED INTERNAL
BLEEDING, BUT DEATH WAS NOT INSTANTANEOUS.

SHE MAY HAVE BEEN CONSCIOUS
FOR SOME TIME AFTER THE ASSAULT.

BUT THERE'S NO SIGN OF BONE REMODELING.
SHE DIED SOON AFTER THE ASSAULT.

THERE'S PATTERNING ON
THE ECTOCRANIAL SURFACE.

WHATEVER WEAPON
WAS USED, IT LEFT A MARK.

OUR GANG UNIT'S GONNA BRING
IN THE LEADER OF MARA MUERTE,

SEE IF WE CAN IDENTIFY THE
GANGBANGER THAT GOT AWAY.

WHY WOULD A GANG
LEADER COOPERATE?

I'M GONNA ASK HIM VERY,
VERY NICELY, BONES.

YOU KNOW THAT BOOK I'M READING ABOUT
GETTING ALONG WITH YOUR COWORKERS?

IT SAYS THAT SARCASM IS NEVER HELPFUL.
I COULD LEND IT TO YOU IF YOU WANT.

I FOUND SPODOPTERA, ORNITHOGALAE
AND TETRANYCHUS URTICAE...

IN THE SUSPECT'S
SHOE AND ON THE VICTIM.

I ALSO FOUND
NOTONECTIDAE AND CORIXIDAE.

IT'S AQUATIC FAUNA TYPICALLY ONLY
FOUND IN AND AROUND PONDS AND STREAMS.

THERE ARE NO PONDS OR
STREAMS AT THE BURIAL SITE.

AND HERE'S THE KICKER.
THERE WAS ALSO EVIDENCE...

OF GENETIC MATERIAL FROM A
FRANKLINIA ALATAMAHA ON HIS SHOE.

I'M IN SHOCK. "FRANKIE
ALABAMA"? YOU DON'T SAY.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT I
SAID ABOUT SARCASM?

IT'S A RARE FLOWERING PLANT THAT
HASN'T BEEN SEEN IN THE WILD SINCE 1800.

THE ONLY KNOWN SPECIMEN IN THIS AREA
OUTSIDE A SPECIALIZED BOTANICAL GARDEN...

WAS GIVEN TO SENATOR
ALAN CORMAN AS A GIFT.

- I LOVE GOING AFTER SENATORS.
- WHOA. JUST SIMMER DOWN THERE.

WE'RE GONNA CHECK OUT
THE BOTANICAL GARDEN FIRST.

FINE. IT'S AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

YEAH!

OKAY. YOU GUYS SHOULD DO THAT
EVEN LESS THAN NORMAL PEOPLE.

MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN
FOR BACKSWIMMERS AND WATER BOATMEN.

THE NOTONECTIDAE CAN
BE DIFFERENT COLORS, SO...

- THAT'S A NICE TRY, OKAY? YOU'RE COMING WITH US.
- I CALL SHOTGUN.

I CALLED SHOTGUN.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO A SOCIETY WHEN
THE NICETIES ARE NO LONGER OBSERVED?

OKAY, LOOK. WE GOT TWO BODIES,
ALL RIGHT? ONE UNACCOUNTED FOR.

WE'VE BEEN SHOT AT. AND NOW WE
KNOW THAT THERE'S A GANG MEMBER...

WALKING AROUND A
U.S. SENATOR'S PLACE.

ANY THEORIES?

COME ON, GUYS. LET'S THINK OF IT AS A
PUZZLE, AND THERE'S A MISSING PIECE.

I LIKE PUZZLES. I
FIND THEM RELAXING.

I JUST FINISHED THE ANATOMY
LESSON... REMBRANDT.

- YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT?
- NO. WHAT DO YOU FIND RELAXING?

I RESTORE VINTAGE CARS.

I KNOW WHAT I FIND RELAXING.

EVERYBODY FINDS WHAT
YOU FIND RELAXING RELAXING.

SENATOR CORMAN IS A BIG SUPPORTER
OF BUSINESS LEADERS IN CENTRAL AMERICA.

THAT MEANS SUPPORTING REPRESSIVE
REGIMES THAT USE DEATH SQUADS...

TO SILENCE ANY OPPOSITION
FROM THE WORKING PEOPLE,

WHICH ARE THE SAME PEOPLE
WHO FLEE TO THE STATES.

OKAY, THAT'S GREAT.
THAT'S GOOD. LET'S FOCUS.

THAT'S GOOD, 'CAUSE NOW WE HAVE A LINK
BETWEEN CORMAN AND THE SALVADORANS.

NOW YOU THINK THE SENATOR
MURDERED TWO PEOPLE?

I JUST THINK WE GOT ANOTHER
PIECE OF THE PUZZLE, THAT'S ALL.

BECAUSE OF MY HUSBAND'S
OFFICIAL WORK IN EL SALVADOR,

WE'VE FORMED A BOND WITH
THE COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE.

IN FACT, WE HAVE SEVERAL
SALVADORAN IMMIGRANTS WORKING HERE.

I'VE ACTUALLY SPONSORED
QUITE A FEW FOR CITIZENSHIP.

CITIZENSHIP SCREENING WOULD
KEEP OUT MEMBERS OF DEATH SQUADS.

HODGINS.

JUST BECAUSE I'M ANTISOCIALIST
DOESN'T MAKE ME PRO DEATH SQUAD.

DR. BRENNAN HAS FOUND EVIDENCE THAT A GANG
MEMBER HAS BEEN ON YOUR PROPERTY RECENTLY.

WE EMPLOY 20 STAFF
MEMBERS, GIVE OR TAKE.

ALL OF OUR STAFF MEMBERS ARE
EITHER LEGAL ALIENS OR CITIZENS.

OUR HOUSE MANAGER'S IN CHARGE
OF HIRING THEM AND MANAGING THEM.

DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS MAN?

NO. I ASSUME HE DID SOMETHING
WORSE THAN TRESPASS ON MY PROPERTY?

- HOUSE MANAGER... IS HE FROM EL SALVADOR?
- YES.

AGENT, YOU DIDN'T
ANSWER MY QUESTION.

WE'RE INVESTIGATING A DEATH, SENATOR.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.

PERHAPS WE COULD SHOW THIS
PICTURE TO YOUR HOUSE MANAGER?

OF COURSE.

FRANKLINIA ALATAMAHA.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

YES. WE'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE
CULTIVATING IT PRIVATELY.

SENATOR, DO YOU HAVE A
POND ON THE PROPERTY?

YES, ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE SHRUBS. IT'S SMALL.

- COULD DR. HODGINS
TAKE A LOOK AT IT?
- OF COURSE. BE MY GUEST.

LOGAN, COME SAY
HELLO. WE HAVE GUESTS.

OUR SON, HE'S STUDYING LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECTURE AT GEORGETOWN.

LIKES TO SUPERVISE
THE MEN SOMETIMES.

LOGAN, THIS IS SPECIAL AGENT BOOTH FROM
THE F.B.I. AND HIS ASSOCIATE, DR. BRENNAN.

- WHAT'S THE F.B.I. DOING HERE?
- THEY WOULD LIKE TO
ASK HECTOR SOME QUESTIONS.

YEAH. HEY, HECTOR?

- YES, SIR?
- I'M SPECIAL AGENT BOOTH. YOU RECOGNIZE THIS GUY?

NO, I DON'T THINK SO.
THAT COULD BE JOSE.

HE WORKS HERE
SOMETIMES AS A GARDENER.

REALLY? I DON'T THINK SO.

- JOSE WHO?
- JOSE VARGAS.

LOGAN, AGENT BOOTH
SAID HE WAS IN A GANG.

A GANG? NO, NO WAY.

JOSE'S A NICE GUY.
YOU KNOW, WIFE AND KID.

I FOUND BOTH BACKSWIMMERS
AND WATER BOATMEN.

WHAT IS IT?

GLADLY.

GRACIAS.

LOOKS LIKE WE FOUND
THE SECOND BODY.

PUPARIA CASINGS
OF TINEID MOTHS...

PUTS THE TIME OF DEATH OF THIS ONE AT
ABOUT A YEAR, SIX MONTHS BEFORE THE GIRL.

HEART-SHAPED PELVIC
INLET, LONG PROJECTIONS...

OF BONE INTO THE RIB CARTILAGE
SUGGEST WE HAVE A MALE OVER 60.

ANTHROPOMETRICS
SUGGESTS HISPANIC ORIGINS.

WE'VE REASSEMBLED THE
ROSARY FOUND ON THE WOMAN.

THE CARVING OF FIRE IN THE
CENTERPIECE IS AN ARCHETYPAL SYMBOL...

FOUND AT AN AREA OF EL SALVADOR SINCE
THE CHAPARRASTIQUE VOLCANO ERUPTED IN 1787.

SO THIS MIGHT INDICATE WHERE
THE FEMALE VICTIM'S FROM?

YEAH. A VILLAGE CALLED MILAGRO DE LA
PAZ IN THE SOUTHEAST OF THE COUNTRY.

I WAS THERE THREE YEARS AGO
IDENTIFYING VICTIMS OF THE DEATH SQUADS.

I FINISHED THE
SKETCH OF THE WOMAN.

SHE WAS PREGNANT STARTING
OVER IN A NEW COUNTRY,

SO I GAVE HER A SMILE,
MADE HER LOOK HOPEFUL.

THANKS, ANGELA. ALL RIGHT, LET'S CLEAN
THE BONES SO WE CAN FIND A CAUSE OF DEATH.

I THINK I JUST FOUND IT.

IT'S A BULLET.

LOOKS LIKE STEEL
CORE, COPPER JACKET.

MILITARY ISSUE. THOSE ARE THE
KINDS OF WEAPONS GANGS LIKE.

THEY ESCAPE FROM THE DEATH
SQUADS AND WIND UP BEING KILLED...

BY THE SAME WEAPON THAT
THEY WERE RUNNING FROM.

I GOT JOSE'S ADDRESS FROM
LOGAN. LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

THANKS. F.B.I. MAKE
YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN.

LOOK. HE HAS A FAMILY, A BABY.

IS ANYBODY HERE? YOU
DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID.

OF COURSE THEY'RE GONNA
BE AFRAID, BONES. I HAVE A GUN.

MILAGRO DE LA PAZ. THAT'S
WHERE THE VICTIMS ARE FROM.

THEY HAD TO HAVE BEEN HERE A
FEW MINUTES AGO. THE BOTTLE'S WARM.

THEY'RE STILL HERE.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?

THEY'RE PREPARED
FOR THIS KIND OF THING.

HIDING FROM DEATH SQUADS,
PEOPLE LEARN TO BUILD FALSE WALLS.

CLOSET. OKAY, HOLD ON, BONES.

LET'S JUST PRETEND THAT I'M
THE COP FOR A SECOND, OKAY?

JUST...

WHAT DID YOU SAY? THAT
WE JUST WANNA TALK TO JOSE.

THEY'LL ALL BE SAFE. THEY
HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

DO YOU WANNA BE DEPORTED? DO
YOU WANNA SEE YOUR BABY AGAIN?

BECAUSE IF HE WAS BORN HERE, HE
DOESN'T HAVE TO GO BACK WITH YOU.

WE CAN KEEP HIM. BOOTH,
STOP. SHE'S FRIGHTENED ENOUGH.

- WE HAVE A DOUBLE MURDER.
- BUT SHE DIDN'T DO IT.

JUST TELL HER WHAT I SAID. OKAY?
TELL HER WE'RE CALLING IMMIGRATION.

- TELL HER WE'LL GET TO JOSE.
- NO!

SHE'S LIVED WITH TERROR AND INTIMIDATION
HER WHOLE LIFE. I'M NOT GONNA ADD TO IT.

YOU'RE ACTING LIKE I'M GONNA HURT HER.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET INFORMATION.

I AM ASKING YOU AS A FAVOR
NOT TO MAKE ME DO THIS...

TO SCARE HER.

PLEASE?

THIS IS INTERESTING.

INTERESTING OR HORRIBLE? BECAUSE
SOMETIMES, IT'S THE SAME THING WITH YOU.

THIS HOLE IN THE STERNUM, IT'S
DEFINITELY NOT A GUNSHOT WOUND.

IT'S A STERNAL FORAMEN.

I FOUND THE SAME EXACT THING
ON THE FEMALE VICTIM'S STERNUM.

IT SEEMED LIKE A
MEANINGLESS ANOMALY.

IT'S A HEREDITARY CONDITION.
THE TWO VICTIMS WERE RELATED.

BASED ON THEIR AGES,
FATHER AND DAUGHTER.

SO FATHER AND DAUGHTER
BURIED NEXT TO EACH OTHER, RIGHT?

THEN DUG UP. BUT THEN THE
FATHER IS REBURIED. WHY?

THE GANGBANGER WAS
PROBABLY TAKING THE DAUGHTER...

TO BE REBURIED WHEN
THE COPS PULLED HIM OVER.

THIS IS THE STUFF THAT BOOTH IS GOOD
AT... THE MURKY WAYS OF THE HUMAN HEART.

ALL THAT. WE WORK
THE HARD EVIDENCE.

- WE'VE USED UP
ALL THE EVIDENCE.
- OKAY.

LET'S JUST... YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S
JUST PRETEND WE'RE BOOTH, OKAY?

OOH! LET-LET... LET ME TRY. OOH!

THE DAUGHTER GOT PREGNANT FROM THE
KILLER IN EL SALVADOR, THEN CAME HERE.

HE CATCHES UP
TO HIM. THEY FIGHT.

HE JOINS A GANG
AND THEN KILLS HER.

THE FATHER COMES AFTER HIM SEEKING
REVENGE, AND THE KILLER KILLS HIM. OH!

NO, NO. THE FATHER'S DEATH...

PRECEDED THE DAUGHTER'S
BY AT LEAST SIX MONTHS.

I FOUND SOMETHING. I CAN'T GET
THIS BULLET OUT OF THE PELVIC BONE.

OH, WOW.

THE BONE STARTED HEALING AROUND
THE BULLET. SEE THE REMODELING?

THIS WOUND HEALED YEARS AGO.

- HE DIDN'T DIE BY BEING SHOT.
- TOUGH OLD BASTARD.

HOW WAS HE MURDERED?

- HE WASN'T MURDERED.
- METASTATIC CARCINOMA.

PROBABLY ORIGINATING
IN THE PROSTATE.

SO HE SURVIVES BEING SHOT,
BUT THEN HE DIES OF CANCER?

- MEGA-TOUGH OLD BASTARD.
- YEAH.

ANYTHING? YEAH.

IMMIGRATION HAS THE
WIFE. SHE GOT A LAWYER...

FROM THE SALVADORAN
LEAGUE OF SOMETHING OR OTHER.

AND SHE'S NOT GIVING
US ANYTHING ABOUT JOSE.

YOU MAD AT ME?

NOPE.

BUT I COULD'VE GOTTEN SOMETHING BACK
THERE IF YOU HADN'T GOTTEN ALL MUSHY ON ME.

I WAS UNCOMFORTABLE WITH...

YOU ALWAYS SAY I'M NOT A COP.

YOU'RE RIGHT, ESPECIALLY
IN A SITUATION LIKE THAT.

IT'S OKAY. WE'RE NOT
GONNA NEED HER ANYWAY.

- REALLY? WHY?
- BECAUSE I HAD THE GANG UNIT
PUT A LEAN ON ROBERTO ORTEZ.

- HE'S THE HEAD OF MARA MUERTE.
- THE GANG THAT JOSE BELONGS TO?

YEAH. I CONVINCED ORTEZ TO
BRING JOSE IN FOR QUESTIONING.

- BUT WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
- ORTEZ'S SISTER'S IN
THE CAN ON POSSESSION CHARGES.

I-I PROMISED HIM I COULD
MAKE THAT GO AWAY.

- CAN YOU?
- I DON'T KNOW. IT'S A LOCAL BEEF.

I'M FEDERAL. BUT, HEY, YOU KNOW,

I'M A COP, AND THANK
GOD FOR BAD SISTERS, HUH?

HE HAS A COLLAPSED
LUNG, SEVERAL BROKEN RIBS.

- ONE ARM IS BROKEN, THE
OTHER SHOULDER'S DISLOCATED.
- BUT WE CAN TALK TO HIM?

- YOU CAN TRY.
- HEY, THANKS.

WOW.

YOUR OWN GUYS... THEY DO THIS TO
YOU? GEEZ, I WISH I HAD MY OWN GANG.

I DON'T BELONG TO NO
GANG. I'M A GARDENER.

A GARDENER WITH A MARA
MUERTE TATTOO ON HIS NECK...

WHO CAN NOW UNDERSTAND ENGLISH
AND WHO LIKES TO PLANT DEAD BODIES.

- MAYBE THAT STUFF'S PRIVATE.
- HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.

YOU'RE A GANG MEMBER.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST...

FOR TRANSPORTING A
DEAD BODY IN A STOLEN CAR,

AND YOU'RE UNDER
SUSPICION FOR MURDER.

I'M GONNA CALL I.C.E. AND HAVE YOU AND
YOUR WIFE DEPORTED BACK TO EL SALVADOR.

- I GOT A SON.
- FORGET IT. WE KEEP THE SON.

THAT'S MY SON. THAT'S MY
ONLY SON. YOU GOT KIDS?

- NO.
- WHAT... YES, YOU DO.

DIFFERENCE IS, I'M A FIT FATHER.

I'M NOT GOING AROUND
MURDERING GUYS AND LITTLE GIRLS,

BURYING THEM, DIGGING THEM UP.

BOOTH, I DON'T THINK HE
MURDERED THOSE PEOPLE.

YOU CAN TELL IF HE MURDERED
SOMEONE BY LOOKING AT HIS X-RAYS?

HE HAS THE SAME GENETIC
CONDITION THE TWO VICTIMS HAD.

A STERNAL FORAMEN. THEY WERE
PROBABLY HIS SISTER AND HIS FATHER.

THAT TRUE? HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT,
BUDDY? YOU WANNA BE ON MY GOOD SIDE,

BECAUSE I WASN'T JOKING
ABOUT KEEPING YOUR KID.

YES. IT'S MY SISTER.
IT WAS MY FATHER.

YOUR FATHER DIED OF NATURAL CAUSES,
FINE, BUT YOUR SISTER WAS MURDERED.

YOU KNOW WHAT? FORGET IT.

THE GANG IS THE ONLY
FAMILY JOSE CARES ABOUT.

ENJOY YOUR TRIP BACK HOME, AND
HAVE FUN EXPLAINING TO YOUR WIFE...

WHY SHE DOESN'T HAVE
A BABY IN HER ARMS.

GIVE US SOMETHING.

HELP US TO DO THE RIGHT
THING FOR YOUR SISTER.

I CANNOT.

JUST ANYTHING.

AT LEAST YOU COULD
TELL US THEIR NAMES.

YOU WANT THEIR NAMES, HUH?

DUARTE WAS OUR FAMILY NAME.

MARIA WAS MY SISTER. OUR
FATHER WAS NAMED AUGUSTINE.

THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU.

- JOSE'S SISTER HATED HIM.
- HATED HIM? WHY?

SHE DIDN'T APPROVE
OF HIS ASSOCIATIONS.

YOU MEAN ASSOCIATIONS
LIKE THE LEADER...

OF ONE OF THE MOST MURDEROUS
STREET GANGS IN THE COUNTRY?

IF SHE HATED JOSE SO MUCH,
WHY WAS HE MOVING HER BODY?

HER BURIAL SITE WAS THREATENED.

HE WANTED TO MOVE HER TO A
BETTER PLACE, AND HIS FATHER.

REAL FAMILY GUY, YOU KNOW?

I'M NOT THE LEADER OF THE
WHOLE GANG. JUST THE D.C. CHAPTER.

YOU SHOT AT US SO JOSE COULD
HAVE A CHANCE TO GET AWAY?

MARA MUERTE TAKES CARE OF ITS
OWN, EVEN A THROWAWAY LIKE JOSE.

- CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
- GO AHEAD.

JOSE'S ALL BEATEN UP, SO HE
WON'T TELL US ANYTHING. BUT YOU,

YOU DON'T EVEN ASK FOR A LAWYER,
BUT YOU HARDLY STOP TALKING.

- BONES...
- I'M THE BOSS, LADY, OKAY?

JOSE'S A SOBRENADO. THAT
BABOSO IS NOT AS SMART AS ME.

YOU INTIMIDATE HIM INTO SILENCE,

BUT YOU CAN WALK IN HERE TO
THE F.B.I., SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT,

AND WALK AWAY LIKE
YOU OWN THE PLACE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS WHO WOULD
HAVE THE GUTS TO KILL HIS SISTER?

- WHO CARES, MAN?
- COME ON.

THE MARA MUERTE... IT'S THE
MOST FEARED GANG IN THE CITY.

SHE WASN'T MY SISTER, MAN.

THERE HAD TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE
GANG, SOMEBODY MORE IMPORTANT THAN JOSE.

YOU KNOW WHAT, LADY?
YOU THINK TOO MUCH.

MAYBE YOU NEED A MAN LIKE ME TO GET YOUR
MIND OFF OF THINGS. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?

I CAN BE YOUR
ADORIN' SALVADORAN.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
WHO KILLED JOSE'S SISTER.

BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
BECAUSE I LIKE YOU SO MUCH,

I FIND OUT WHO
DID IT, I'LL KILL HIM.

YOU BEEN WAITING FOR ME?

PUSH THAT BUTTON AGAIN, AND
WE CAN GO DOWN TOGETHER.

YOU THINK YOU CAN INTIMIDATE
PEOPLE INTO DOING WHAT YOU WANT?

OKAY, I'LL PUSH IT MYSELF.

HOW DO YOU HANDLE SOMEONE WHO ISN'T
AFRAID OF YOU? JUST GET OUT OF MY WAY.

I SAID MOVE YOUR ASS, MAN.

I WOULDN'T... OH.

THAT'S GONNA HURT
IN THE MORNING.

BITCH...

- FEEL BETTER?
- YEAH.

I REALLY DO.

- YOU BEAT UP A GANG LEADER?
- BOOTH TOLD YOU THAT?

YOU DID. YOU GOT INTO A
FIGHT WITH A GANGBANGER.

YOU'RE MAD AT ME? THE
GUY'S A KILLER, BRENNAN.

ANGELA, RELAX. WE WERE
IN THE F.B.I. BUILDING. LOOK.

I KNOW YOU'RE ALL
ABOUT SELF-RELIANCE...

AND FIGHTING YOUR OWN BATTLES
AND STANDING UP FOR YOURSELF,

BUT NOW, AS YOUR FRIEND,

AND KNOWING HOW MUCH YOU HATE
PSYCHOLOGY HERE, YOU NEED THERAPY.

I'M SORRY I UPSET YOU.

IT'S JUST THAT I'VE DEALT
WITH HIM BEFORE. WITH WHO?

PEOPLE WHO GET WHAT
THEY WANT THROUGH FEAR.

GANGBANGERS, MEMBERS
OF DEATH SQUADS.

I KNOW IT'S PSYCHOLOGY AGAIN,
BUT YOU SAID "HIM," LIKE ONE GUY.

I DIDN'T MEAN ORTEZ SPECIFICALLY.
I MEANT PEOPLE LIKE HIM.

ON MY LAST TRIP
TO EL SALVADOR...

YEAH, I REMEMBER. I TRIED TO
GET YOU TO GO TO ITALY WITH ME.

I WAS IN A TENT SET UP BY
ONE OF THE GRAVE SITES.

I WAS WORKING WITH THE
REMAINS OF A YOUNG GIRL,

MAYBE 13.

SHE'D BEEN SHOT IN THE
HEAD AND DUMPED INTO A WELL.

THIS COP SHOWS UP.

HE MIGHT'VE BEEN A
SOLDIER. IT'S NOT EASY TO TELL.

I THOUGHT HE WAS THERE TO
GUARD ME, BUT HE TOLD ME TO STOP.

WHEN I REFUSED, HE
CALLED IN TWO OTHERS.

THEY PUT A BAG OVER MY HEAD...

AND TOSSED ME INTO A CELL WITH
A DIRT FLOOR AND NO WINDOWS.

FOR HOW LONG?

LATER, I FOUND OUT
IT WAS THREE DAYS.

BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS
A WEEK, MAYBE MORE.

HE CAME IN EVERY DAY...

AND MADE ME BELIEVE
I WAS GOING TO DIE.

HE SAID THAT HE'D SHOOT
ME AND TOSS ME INTO A WELL,

AND THAT NO ONE WOULD EVER KNOW
WHO I WAS OR WHAT BECAME OF ME.

I PROMISED MYSELF IF I EVER
HAD THE CHANCE, I'D GET EVEN.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN
I NEED THERAPY.

I IDENTIFIED THE TYPE OF WOOD
IN THE WEAPON THAT KILLED MARIA.

AM I INTERRUPTING
A FEMALE MOMENT?

NO. WHAT WAS THE WOOD?

QUARTER-SAWN CUMURU. DEFINITELY
NOT FROM A SHOVEL HANDLE.

WHAT IS MADE OUT OF
QUARTER-SAWN CUMURU?

- VERY EXPENSIVE FURNITURE.
- SENATORIALLY EXPENSIVE?

MOST DEFINITELY.

I DON'T RECOGNIZE HER, NO.

- NEITHER DO I, I'M AFRAID.
- HOW ABOUT YOU, HECTOR?

- HER NAME WAS MARIA.
- SHE USED TO WORK
AS A MAID HERE.

SHE HAD PAPERS.

FAKE ONES, PROBABLY SUPPLIED BY
OUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD GANG.

HECTOR COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE
EXPECTED TO IDENTIFY FORGED PAPERS.

- WHAT HAPPENED TO MARIA?
- ONE DAY, SHE DIDN'T SHOW UP
FOR WORK. THAT'S ALL.

DID SHE INTERACT WITH
ANYONE HERE BESIDES JOSE?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
THAT KIND OF THING.

WHAT KIND OF THING, HECTOR?

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HECTOR?

- WAS MARIA INVOLVED
WITH THE SENATOR?
- WHAT?

- OF COURSE NOT!
- NO.

NO, NOT THE SENATOR.

WELL, TELL THE TRUTH,
HECTOR. THIS IS THE F.B.I.

LOGAN.

SHE WAS INVOLVED WITH LOGAN.

WHAT KIND OF "INVOLVED"?

I'D RATHER NOT SAY.

MARIA'S DEAD, LOGAN.

M-MARIA'S DEAD?

YES.

OF COURSE THAT CHANGES THINGS.

M-MARIA AND I WERE...

WHAT? WERE LOVERS? BONES,
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?

HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THIS BED?

UH, SINCE I WAS, LIKE, 15.

WHY? DO YOU KNOW
WHAT KIND OF WOOD IT IS?

CURU... CUMURU,
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. WHY?

BECAUSE MARIA'S SKULL WAS BANGED IN
BY SOMETHING MADE OUT OF CUMURU WOOD.

THERE'S DRIED BLOOD
AND SKIN ON THIS POST.

I CAUGHT MARIA DANCING ONCE...

IN THE HALLWAY.

SHE THOUGHT NO ONE WAS WATCHING,

BUT I WAS WATCHING.

I'D NOTICED HER BEFORE.

SHE WAS, UH, VERY PRETTY.

MORE THAN WHAT THESE
PICTURES TELL YOU.

LOGAN, I WILL SAY AGAIN THAT I DO
NOT ADVISE ANSWERING QUESTIONS.

- YOU'RE NOT UNDER ARREST.
- PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE TO CHECK
WITH THE SENATOR...

AND SEE IF HE'D RATHER I'D OFFICIALLY
ARRESTED LOGAN BEFORE ASKING THESE QUESTIONS?

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE
THE PRESS WOULD LOVE THAT.

WHEN DID YOU START HAVING A
SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH MARIA?

PERHAPS SIX MONTHS
AGO. YOU KEPT IT A SECRET?

MARIA WAS CERTAIN THAT IF MY
PARENTS FOUND OUT, SHE'D BE FIRED.

WERE YOU AWARE SHE WAS
IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY?

I ADVISE YOU, DO NOT
ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

WERE YOU AWARE THAT
SHE WAS PREGNANT?

M-MARIA WAS PREGNANT?

LOGAN, THERE'S NO PROOF
THAT YOU WERE THE FATHER.

NO... SHUT UP.

OF COURSE I'M THE FATHER.

OH, GOD.

WHAT ABOUT THE FATHER? A
POWERFUL MAN WITH A LOT TO LOSE.

BUT WHY KILL HER? WHY NOT HAVE HER
DEPORTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?

THAT LEAVES HECTOR. HE'S
RESPONSIBLE FOR HIRING THE SERVANTS.

I MEAN, ONE OF 'EM GETS PREGNANT,
HE FEELS LIKE IT'S HIS MESS TO CLEAN UP.

WE STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW MARIA'S
SKULL WAS FRACTURED BY THE BEDPOST.

WELL, THAT'S SORT OF YOUR LINE OF
WORK, BONES, OKAY? SO GO HAVE FUN.

YOUR TOP THREE SUSPECTS
ARE SENATOR CORMAN, 6'1",

LOGAN CORMAN, 5'10",
AND HECTOR SANTIAGO, 5'6".

AND MARIA WAS 5'1".

THE BED IS A CALIFORNIA
KING WITH SEVEN-FOOT POSTS.

AND ASSUMING THAT THEY
ARGUED NEAR THE FOOT OF THE BED...

GIVEN THEIR RELATIVE HEIGHTS,
THE ANGLE OF IMPACT DOESN'T MATCH.

HER SKULL CONNECTS WELL BELOW
WHERE YOU FOUND THE TRACES OF BLOOD.

WHAT IF THEY WERE
STANDING ON THE BED?

IT'S HIGH ENOUGH, BUT HER HEAD
STRUCK THE OUTSIDE OF THE POST.

HOW TALL WOULD HER ASSAILANT
HAVE TO BE TO FIT THE EVIDENCE?

THAT... THAT'S TALL.

7'8". SOMEBODY YOU'D
NOTICE AROUND THE HOUSE.

LET'S THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN? LIKE, GO NONHUMAN?
- NO.

WHAT ELSE EXPLAINS STRIKING
THE BEDPOST IN THAT MANNER?

I GUESS FALLING.

FALLING. MARIA WAS A MAID.

DO YOU HAVE A SCHEMATIC
VERSION OF THE ROOM?

IF SHE FELL BACKWARDS...

BUT IT DOESN'T EXPLAIN THE
DAMAGE DONE TO HER SKULL.

WHAT FORCE DOES
EXPLAIN THE DAMAGE?

206 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH,

WHICH MEANS SHE WOULD'VE HAD
TO HAVE FALLEN FROM A HEIGHT OF...

- IT'S NO GOOD.
- I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

SHE WAS YANKED OFF THE LADDER.

YOU MEAN SOMEBODY
PULLED HER OFF?

YES. THE MISSING 84
POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH...

CAN BE EXPLAINED BY A HARD
YANK FROM A FULL-GROWN MAN.

I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S MURDER, BUT SOMEONE IS
DEFINITELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MARIA'S DEATH.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE GANG.

THE GANG HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH HER DEATH.

MARIA WAS PULLED
OFF THAT LADDER.

WHO ARE YOU PROTECTING?
I GOT NOTHIN' TO SAY.

WHAT DID THE SENATOR
OFFER YOU, HUH?

ASYLUM FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY?

I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

YOUR FATHER DIED OF CANCER AROUND
THE SAME TIME YOUR WIFE WAS PREGNANT.

YOU WANTED YOUR CHILD TO
BE BORN AN AMERICAN CITIZEN,

SO YOU COULDN'T REPORT YOUR FATHER'S
DEATH FOR FEAR OF BEING DEPORTED.

YOU BURIED HIM YOURSELF...

IN THE GARDEN.

AND WHEN YOUR SISTER DIED,

YOU BURIED HER
IN THE SAME PLACE.

AS MY FATHER
DIED, HE SAID TO ME,

"YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR SISTER."

YOU JOINED MARA MUERTE SO
YOU COULD GET FAKE PAPERS...

SO SHE COULD WORK
FOR THE SENATOR.

MARIA... MARIA, MAN,
SHE WAS SO ANGRY.

SHE WOULD... SHE'D GET SO ANGRY.

SOMETIMES, SHE JUST DOESN'T
SPEAK TO ME, YOU KNOW?

SHE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU
HAD TO DO FOR HER AND YOUR FAMILY.

IT WAS THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO
KEEP MY PROMISE TO MY FATHER.

LOOK AT ME NOW, HUH?

ALL BECAUSE I WANTED TO
GIVE MY SISTER AND MY FATHER...

A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO REST.

IT'S NEAR... IT'S NEAR A POND.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL, HUH?

IT'S ALL FOR NOTHING.

MY FAMILY'S RUINED.

- SHE DIDN'T FALL.
- NO, SHE WAS PUSHED.

NO, SENATOR. ACTUALLY, SHE WAS
PULLED, PROBABLY OFF THAT LADDER.

PULLED? PULLED BY WHO? PERHAPS
BY YOUR SON OR THE SENATOR.

OH, MY GOD! I DO NOT
PULL MAIDS OFF OF LADDERS.

- WILL YOU PLEASE OPEN THAT UP?
- AND WHY WOULD THEY DO
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

BECAUSE MARIA WAS
PREGNANT BY YOUR SON.

WHAT? EVEN IF THAT WERE TRUE,

THAT IS NOT HOW WE WOULD
HANDLE THE SITUATION.

- YOU'D HAVE HER DEPORTED
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
- IT WOULD BE HANDLED.

AND NOT BY PULLING
HER OFF A LADDER.

SENATOR, WOULD YOU
MIND REACHING UP?

WHAT IS THAT GONNA PROVE?
ARE YOU REFUSING, SIR?

I'M TRAINED IN KINESIOLOGY,
THE STUDY OF HUMAN MOVEMENT.

OH! AND YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO
TELL WHO PULLED HER OFF THE LADDER?

ABSOLUTELY, YES.

OH, FOR GOD'S SAKE,
ALAN, JUST DO IT. JUST DO IT.

FINE.

WELL? WAS IT ME?

- HECTOR?
- ¿SÍ?

WOULD YOU PLEASE PULL
ME DOWN OFF THIS LADDER?

NO. NO, I WON'T.

HECTOR, JUST DO AS SHE ASKS.

HECTOR?

HOW DID IT HAPPEN, HECTOR?

YOU TOLD HER TO STAY OUT
OF LOGAN'S ROOM, DIDN'T YOU?

YOU DIDN'T APPROVE. YOU
KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON.

- HECTOR?
- IF IT WASN'T YOU,
JUST PULL ME DOWN.

MARIA DEFIED YOU. SHE
WENT TO LOGAN'S ROOM.

YOU GOT ANGRY. YOU
PULLED HER OFF THE LADDER.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

YEAH. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WORKED.

PSYCHOLOGY, BONES. IT'S
A VERY POWERFUL FORCE.

I GAVE HER $500, AND
I DROVE HER HOME.

I-I THOUGHT SHE WAS
GONNA GO TO A DOCTOR.

SHE WAS AFRAID SHE'D LOSE
HER JOB AND GET DEPORTED.

- YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD US.
- YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW.

YOU DON'T WANNA
KNOW ABOUT ANY OF THIS.

I KNOW MY JOB. I
KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.

HECTOR ALVARADO,

I'M PLACING YOU UNDER ARREST
FOR THE SUSPICION OF MANSLAUGHTER.

- BOOTH?
- YEAH?

MESSAGE FROM THE
GANG TASK FORCE UNIT.

MARA MUERTE HAS PUT A HIT
OUT ON YOUR LADY SCIENTIST.

OH, MAN. YOU GOT A RESPONSE?

YEAH. JUST TELL 'EM...
TELL 'EM I GOT THE MESSAGE,

AND TELL 'EM THANKS.

SURE.

THIS IS NICE OF YOU.

NOT MANY PEOPLE WOULD
PAY FOR A FUNERAL LIKE THIS.

WHERE'S BOOTH?
HE SAID HE'D COME.

ARE YOU CRAZY? THIS
IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU PUT A HIT OUT ON MY
PARTNER? SHE'S NOT F.B.I.

I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT
F.B.I. SHE'S MY PARTNER, ESE.

AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HER,
I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL KILL YOU.

I WON'T THINK TWICE. COME HERE.
LOOK IN MY EYES. LOOK AT MY FACE.

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS
TO HER, I WILL KILL YOU.

THIS IS BETWEEN YOU AND ME,
AND NOBODY SEES, NOBODY KNOWS.

YOU GOT NOTHING TO
PROVE. UNDERSTAND?

YOU UNDERSTAND?

YEAH, I THOUGHT SO. OKAY.

NOW IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'LL LEAVE FIRST
BECAUSE I HAVE SOMEWHERE I HAVE TO BE.

I WILL PAY YOU BACK
FOR THIS FUNERAL.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

IT'S MY FAMILY. IT'S MY DUTY.

AREN'T YOU LEAVING FOR
EL SALVADOR TONIGHT?

WELL, MY CHILD IS AN AMERICAN.

HE'S... HE'S NOT GONNA GROW
UP THE WAY THAT ROSA AND I DID.

- SHE SAYS THAT WE'RE GONNA
BRING HIM BACK.
- I UNDERSTAND.

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER,

YOUR SON WILL HAVE A
BETTER LIFE THAN YOU DID.

GRACIAS. GRACIAS.

AM I IN TROUBLE?

YOU'RE LATE FOR A FUNERAL.
OF COURSE YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.

SORRY.

I APOLOGIZE. I...
EVERYTHING OKAY HERE?

- WHERE WERE YOU?
- I HAD SOMETHING TO DO.

MORE IMPORTANT THAN A FUNERAL?

I THOUGHT SO AT THE TIME.
