Bones (2005–2017): Season 1, Episode 22 - The Woman in Limbo - full transcript
When Brennan's mother is found in the Jeffersonian's storage for unidentified remains, Booth opens an official FBI investigation to find out who killed her.
ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU STOP BY
THE ARCHAEOLOGY SECTION...
AND IDENTIFY THE SKULL AS
ASSYRIAN, HITTITE OR EGYPTIAN.
I'M IN COURT TODAY. I NEED MY NOTES.
THERE'S A PHOTOCOPY IN THE FILE.
THE LAST TIME I READ FROM PHOTOCOPIES, THE
DEFENSE LAWYER TOLD THE JURY I WAS WINGING IT.
READY? CHOP-CHOP.
I CAN'T FIND MY ORIGINAL
NOTES. PHOTOCOPY IN THE FILE.
NO. THE LAST TIME THE DEFENSE
LAWYER TOLD THE JURY THAT...
IT WAS A PLOY. IT
FAILED. LET'S GO.
I FOUND GLASS. I FOUND POLLEN.
WHICH DO YOU WANT FIRST? POLLEN.
PERHAPS YOU COULD SWING BY
ARCHAEOLOGY ON YOUR WAY TO YOUR COURT...
NO. NO SWINGING. HER HEIGHT MAKES NO
SENSE, AND HER SPINE LENGTH IS WACKY.
DR. BRENNAN?
CALCULATE THE HEIGHT OFF THE FEMUR
AND ASSUME THE FIRE SHRUNK HER SPINE.
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT OTHER
CASES ON COURT DAY. YOU MIGHT GET CONFUSED.
- ASSYRIAN, HITTITE OR EGYPTIAN?
- DR. BRENNAN?
FIVE MINUTES! WHAT'S UP?
BUTTERCUP. SIGN OFF ON TISSUE MARKERS,
ANGELA CAN FINISH THE FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION.
WHY DID YOU SAY "BUTTERCUP"?
"WHAT'S UP, BUTTERCUP" IS AN
AMUSING, RHYMING, LINGUISTIC MEME.
THIS IS THE LATEST
JANE DOE FROM LIMBO.
HOW 'BOUT THIS FOR AN AMUSING, RHYMING
"LINGUINE"? "SEE YOU LATER, ALLIGATOR."
PLEASE DON'T REFER TO BONE
STORAGE AS "LIMBO." FIVE MINUTES?
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF HUMAN REMAINS
DOWN THERE WAITING TO BE IDENTIFIED.
LIMBO SEEMS AN APPROPRIATE
NAME. NO SIGN OF FOUL PLAY.
IF YOU HAVE TIME FOR THIS,
YOU HAVE TIME FOR MY HITTITE.
TISSUE DEPTH OF THE CHEEKBONES AND ALONG THE
JAW LINE LOOKS DEEP TO ME, BUT OTHERWISE...
OUT OF LIMBO, BACK ON EARTH
AND ON OUR WAY TO COURT. THANKS.
OH, TEMPERANCE. HI. DAVID!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
SHE HAS TO GET TO COURT, SO...
AGENT BOOTH, NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN,
ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M NOT IN CUSTODY. LISTEN.
I READ YOUR MANUSCRIPT. I COULDN'T
WAIT TO TELL YOU HOW GREAT IT IS.
- THANK YOU. REALLY?
- YOU READ HER MANUSCRIPT?
- UH-UH-UH.
- HER SECOND NOVEL,
BONE FREE.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE BORN
FREE EXCEPT NO LIONS.
- YUCK ON THE TITLE. AM I IN IT?
- NO.
- DEFINITELY.
- AH!
- UH, WE HAVE TO GET TO COURT.
- HOPE YOU HAVE YOUR ORIGINAL
NOTES BECAUSE LAST TIME...
TOLD YOU, BOOTH! NO,
BONES! WE DON'T HAVE TIME!
OUR... ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.
UH, THREE MINUTES.
I'LL WAIT FOR YOU IN THE CAR.
HMM.
SO ARE YOU TWO, UH...
YEAH, SORT OF. IS
THAT A PROBLEM? YEAH.
BONES IS VERY LITERAL, SO IN THE
FUTURE, NO JOKEY ADVICE ON A COURT DAY.
OKAY.
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
WHAT'S THIS?
ZACK'S JANE DOE. HE SAID THAT
YOU OKAYED THE TISSUE MARKER.
NO, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT.
THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE RIGHT.
YOU DID IT WRONG!
IT'S A MISTAKE, ANGELA.
ALL RIGHT, FINE.
SWEETIE, I'LL TURN IT OFF.
ZACK, THE ARTIFACT BAG FROM
YOUR JANE DOE... DO YOU HAVE IT?
YES. I ALSO HAVE THREE...
IT WAS DR. BRENNAN.
THREE BAGS OF SOIL SAMPLES FROM
WHERE THE REMAINS WERE BURIED.
ANY OF YOU SEE BONES? OKAY, WE'RE
DUE IN COURT, LIKE... HELLO... NOW.
WHAT?
THIS...
TOTALLY FREAKED HER OUT.
MY THEORY: CAFFEINE INTOLERANCE.
YEAH. YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO TAKE
DR. BRENNAN OFF THE WITNESS LIST TODAY.
NO. SHE CAN'T MAKE
IT INTO COURT. THANKS.
ALL RIGHT. WHAT'S GOING ON?
THAT... IS CHRISTINE BRENNAN.
GOOD GOD.
YOU JUST FOUND BONES'S MOTHER.
I HAVE TO MISS COURT. I KNOW.
I REMEMBER THIS BELT BUCKLE.
I BORROWED IT WITHOUT ASKING...
FIRST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL.
MY FATHER HAD IT SPECIALLY MADE FOR
MY MOTHER BECAUSE SHE LOVED DOLPHINS.
BONES, I'M SORRY.
I ALWAYS KNEW THAT FOR MY
PARENTS TO DISAPPEAR LIKE THAT...
BYE! BYE!
THEY... THEY HAD TO BE DEAD.
I THOUGHT THAT WHEN
IT WAS CONFIRMED,
I'D FEEL RELIEF, BUT...
- IT'S STILL BAD NEWS.
- YOU HAVE THE FILE, ZACK?
JANE DOE NUMBER 129-0998.
- WHERE WAS SHE FOUND?
- BONES, I...
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
"IN SEPTEMBER OF 1998,
"A GRAVE-DIGGING CREW AT THE SUNSET
MEMORY CEMETERY IN SALISBURY, PENNSYLVANIA,
UNCOVERED HUMAN REMAINS IN A COMPLETELY
ADVANCED STAGE OF DECOMPOSITION."
- IS IT FROM A GRAVE?
- NO.
IT APPEARS SOMEBODY JUST DUG A HOLE AT THE EDGE
OF THE CEMETERY AND PLOPPED THE BODY IN THERE.
ZACK. - SORRY.
THE LOCAL CORONER FOUND NO
OBVIOUS EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY...
AND SENT THE REMAINS, A FEW
ARTIFACTS AND SOIL SAMPLES...
TO THE JEFFERSONIAN,
HOPING WE COULD IDENTIFY HER.
TECHNICALLY, YOUR MOTHER'S BEEN AT
THE JEFFERSONIAN AS LONG AS YOU HAVE.
- ZACK.
- SORRY. BUT THEY BOTH
GOT HERE IN 1998.
DR. BRENNAN,
MISS MONTENEGRO HAS
VOLUNTEERED TO DRIVE YOU HOME.
TEMPERANCE.
GO HOME.
IT'S AFTER MIDNIGHT. WELL, I
WAS DRIVING BY. I SAW THE LIGHTS.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
LIKE SOME WONG FOO'S.
YOU SAW MY LIGHTS FROM THE ROAD?
THAT IS CORRECT.
ALL RIGHT!
AFTER YOU GAVE ME YOUR PARENTS' MISSING
PERSONS FILE, I DID SOME POKING AROUND.
- YOU WORKED ON IT?
- WELL, THERE WASN'T MUCH
I COULD DO.
THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE,
NO CLEAR JURISDICTION.
LISTEN, BONES.
FINDING YOUR MOTHER'S REMAINS
MEANS I CAN OPEN AN OFFICIAL F.B.I. CASE.
I MEAN, FOR THE FIRST TIME, A
REAL INVESTIGATION CAN OCCUR.
BYE!
THREE DAYS AFTER MY
PARENTS DISAPPEARED,
THEY FOUND OUR CAR AT A REST STOP A THOUSAND
MILES FROM WHERE WE LIVED IN CHICAGO.
YEAH, I FOUND IT IN A FEDERAL
IMPOUND LOT IN JERSEY.
I'M HAVING IT TRUCKED
TO THE JEFFERSONIAN.
THEY KEPT IT ALL THOSE
YEARS? WELL, NOBODY CLAIMED IT.
YOUR FATHER WAS A HIGH
SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHER.
HE HAD NO TROUBLE
WITH ANYONE AT WORK.
AND THEN YOUR MOTHER...
THAT'S A DIFFERENT MATTER.
SHE WAS A BOOKKEEPER.
MMM, SHE WAS A WITNESS FOR THE
PROSECUTION TWICE ON EVASION CHARGES.
THAT GIVES MOTIVE.
THEN THERE'S, UH, YOUR BROTHER.
RUSS... THE BROTHER
WHO DESERTED ME.
HE'S ON PAROLE. HE RAN A CHOP SHOP
PROCESSING STOLEN CARS FOR PARTS.
FIGURES.
HE SAYS THAT YOU BLAME HIM FOR
YOUR PARENTS' DISAPPEARANCE?
YOU TALKED TO
RUSS? I CALLED HIM.
JUST ASKED HIM A FEW ROUTINE
QUESTIONS. HE DIDN'T GIVE ME MUCH.
WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOUR MOM. OKAY?
ADIPOCERE AND DECOMP
RESIDUES IN THE BAGGED SOIL...
INDICATE THE BODY WAS
BURIED AT LEAST FIVE YEARS.
THAT'S CONGRUENT WITH, UH, P.H. IN
THE SOIL, CLIMATE AND DEGREE OF DECOMP.
NO. SEVEN YEARS. IT
SHOULD BE SEVEN YEARS.
I'M STILL GOING THROUGH
THE SOIL SAMPLES,
BUT SOMETHING IN THERE MIGHT
ALLOW ME TO BE MORE SPECIFIC.
SHE WAS BURIED
NEAR CHRISTMAS 1991.
I NEED THE ROOM, GUYS.
THE WHOLE LAB? FOR WHAT?
IT'S A COP WAY OF
SAYING, "GET LOST."
WHAT? WHEN YOU FIRST GAVE
ME THE FILE ON YOUR PARENTS,
I LOOKED BACK INTO THEIR LIVES THREE
TO FOUR YEARS BEFORE THEY DISAPPEARED.
JOBS, FRIENDS. OKAY.
I LOOKED BACK A LITTLE
FURTHER AND I FOUND OUT THAT...
CHRISTINE BRENNAN
DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE 1978.
WHAT ARE YOU TELLING ME? THAT...
THAT THIS WOMAN ISN'T MY MOTHER?
I WAS BORN IN 1976.
OBVIOUSLY MY MOTHER EXISTED.
DO YOU KNOW THE
MOST COMMON WAY...
OF CREATING AN IDENTITY?
GETTING THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE
OF SOMEONE DECEASED...
WHO WAS BORN THE
SAME YEAR YOU WERE...
AND TAKE OVER THAT IDENTITY.
I FOUND ONE MATTHEW
BRENNAN BORN AND DIED, 1948.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. I
DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF IT MEANS.
IT MEANS THAT YOUR PARENTS
WEREN'T WHO YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE.
IT MEANS THAT THEY
WERE LIVING UNDER...
ASSUMED IDENTITIES.
EVERY MINUTE THIS IS
DOWN, I'M LOSING MONEY.
YOU WANT FASTER WORK?
GRAB YOURSELF A CUP OF COFFEE.
LET ME ALONE, MAN.
- YOU LICENSED
FOR THIS JOB?
- YOU'RE A COP.
- YOU KNOW WHO RECOGNIZES COPS?
- OTHER COPS.
AND CROOKS.
I TALKED TO YOU A COUPLE MONTHS
AGO ON THE PHONE. I'M BOOTH.
YOU GONNA ASK ME SOME MORE
QUESTIONS ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD?
YOU FOUND MY MOTHER?
YOUR SISTER DID THE I.D.
WHAT ABOUT DAD? NO.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? DO YOU REMEMBER
BEING ANYONE ELSE BESIDES RUSS BRENNAN?
NO.
YOU WOULDN'T LIE TO ME, WOULD YOU,
RUSS? COPS ALWAYS THINK I'M LYING.
I WANT YOU TO COME BACK TO D.C.
AND HELP OUT IN THIS INVESTIGATION.
I GOT A JOB, MAN.
THE ALTERNATIVE IS I JUST CITE YOU FOR
PERFORMING UNLICENSED REPAIRS ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT,
GET YOUR PAROLE REVOKED.
TELL YOU WHAT.
YOU GIVE ME A CALL WHEN
YOU GET INTO TOWN, HUH?
OH, AND IF YOU ASK ME, THIS...
THIS THING HERE IS BEYOND HOPE.
LOOK AT THAT. IT
WORKS. I'LL SEE YOU SOON.
WHAT IS IT? A CLUMP
OF CELLULOSE.
IT CAME FROM SOIL SAMPLES AT BRENNAN'S MOM'S
BURIAL SITE FROM THE SAME DEPTH AS HER BONES.
YOU SAID YOU HAD
A GIANT PROBLEM.
I USED THE LASER SCANNING
CONFOCAL MICROSCOPE.
WHICH ONE IS THAT? IT LOOKS
LIKE AN ESPRESSO MACHINE.
NOW, IT SHOWED THAT THIS IS
MASS-PRODUCED CARDBOARD.
ELECTRON DISPERSION
SPECTROSCOPY INDICATES...
THAT THE CARDBOARD IS COATED WITH
ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED MONOMERS,
WHICH KEPT IT FROM
COMPLETELY DETERIORATING.
- HODGINS. WHAT'S THE GIANT PROBLEM?
- IT'S A MOVIE TICKET.
A LITTLE U.V. ANALYSIS, SOME
GUESSWORK, I COME UP WITH THE FUGITIVE.
SO WHAT'S WRONG? YOU DON'T LIKE
BRENNAN'S MOM'S TASTE IN MOVIES?
THE FUGITIVE WAS THE THIRD
TOP-GROSSING FILM OF 1993.
BRENNAN'S PARENTS
DISAPPEARED IN DECEMBER OF 1991.
YET MOM'S GOING TO HARRISON FORD
MOVIES ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER.
OH, GOD. THIS IS GIANT.
WHAT DO I DO? PRETEND
I NEVER FOUND THIS?
DR. BRENNAN? YES. UM...
DID YOU FIND SOMETHING
IN THE SOIL? YEAH.
THIS WAS IN THE SOIL SAMPLES
ALONGSIDE YOUR MOTHER'S REMAINS.
A MOVIE TICKET?
RIALTO THEATER, 9:00 P.M.
SHOWING OF THE FUGITIVE,
SEPTEMBER 22, 1993.
WELL, HOW'D IT GET THERE?
EITHER YOUR MOTHER HAD IT IN HER POSSESSION
WHEN SHE WAS BURIED, OR IT WAS BURIED WITH HER.
EITHER WAY, IT DATES THE BURIAL.
NO. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. MY
MOTHER DISAPPEARED IN 1991.
- SWEETIE.
- IT'S POSSIBLE MOM WAS BURIED
SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEN MOVED.
- NO. THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
- MAYBE IT IS.
WE DECIDED TO
TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
AND THIS IS THE TRUTH.
YOU ALL RIGHT? I'M PRETTY SURE I
JUST FOUND CAUSE OF DEATH. ZACK?
- YES, DR. BRENNAN?
- SEE THE DISCOLORATION
ON THE INSIDE OF THE SKULL?
LEFT SIDE, EXTENDING
FROM THE CORONAL SUTURE,
CROSSING THE SUPERIOR AND INFERIOR
TEMPORAL LINES TO THE SQUAMOSAL SUTURE.
SUBDURAL HEMATOMA.
WHOO! A BIG ONE.
- DR. BRENNAN?
- PROBABLY FATAL.
THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS
OF A BLOW TO THE OUTER SKULL.
SCAN THE OUTSIDE OF THE SKULL.
LOOK FOR HISTOLOGICAL
CHANGES, MICROSCOPIC MODELING.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO HIM.
BONES. BONES. ALL
RIGHT. LISTEN, ZACK.
IF THIS GUY MOVES, SHOOT HIM WITH
A TRANQUILIZER DART OR SOMETHING.
I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE
A TRANQUILIZER GUN.
HEY, BONES. COME ON.
MY MOTHER DIED OF A SUBDURAL
HEMATOMA. BLEEDING IN THE BRAIN.
YOU WANT TO PROCEED
RATIONALLY, CORRECT?
CHANCES ARE THE SUBDURAL HEMATOMA
WAS CAUSED BY A BLOW TO THE HEAD.
GREAT. YOU GOT THE HOW.
NOW LET'S GET THE WHO.
YOU JUST TOLD ME THAT
YOUR MOTHER WAS MURDERED.
I MEAN, WHO BETTER TO HELP
US THAN... THAN YOUR BROTHER?
MOM LOVED DOLPHINS.
THIS WAS MINE!
MY FAVORITE MARBLE. WHAT
WAS SHE DOING WITH THAT?
WHERE DID BOOTH FIND YOU?
IT'S NOT HARD FOR AN F.B.I.
AGENT TO FIND A PAROLEE.
I DIDN'T ASK HOW. I ASKED WHERE.
MOREHEAD CITY, NORTH CAROLINA.
I CALL EVERY YEAR ON YOUR
BIRTHDAY. YOU NEVER PICK UP.
TAKE A HINT.
COULD I HAVE THIS,
PLEASE? IT'S EVIDENCE.
OF WHAT? IT'S A KID'S MARBLE. IT'S
THE RULES. I CAN'T LET YOU HAVE IT.
SAME OLD TEMPE.
NEVER MET A RULE WORTH BREAKING.
SAME OLD RUSS. ON PAROLE.
ANGELA, I MIGHT SEND RUSS IN
TO DESCRIBE SOME PEOPLE TO YOU.
OKAY. WHAT PEOPLE? SOME PEOPLE A
SEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOY MIGHT REMEMBER.
THAT'S A LITTLE
VAGUE THERE, BOOTH.
THE DRAWING... I MEAN, THAT'S IMPORTANT.
IT'S MORE I TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.
WHEN IT COMES TO MEN?
WHEN IT COMES TO SUSPECTS.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT
BONES ASKED HER BOYFRIEND,
YOU KNOW, TO READ
HER BOOK AND NOT ME?
YOU KNOW, MAYBE...
MAYBE BECAUSE THERE WAS
JUST TOO MUCH OF ME IN THE STORY.
OH, SHE WAS
EMBARRASSED, YOU THINK?
MAY... MAYBE?
BOOTH. YEAH.
I'M ON MY WAY. THANKS.
UH, THE FAMILY CAR JUST ARRIVED.
ARE WE ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR?
TREAT IT LIKE A BRAND-NEW CRIME
SCENE. FULL WORKUP. LET'S GO!
BUT TEAR THROUGH THE WHOLE CAR, TREAT IT, AND
THEN GO THROUGH IT WITH A FINE-TOOTH COMB.
- THAT'S OUR OLD CAR, ALL RIGHT.
- THE NAME OF MY SCHOOL
IS SCRAPED OFF.
WOODSIDE ELEMENTARY. THEY SAID
THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING IN THE CAR.
THERE WAS A BLOODSTAIN,
FRONT SEAT, PASSENGER SIDE.
GUYS! EVERYBODY!
- I NEED THE SPACE! NOW!
- WHAT? NOW?
- YEAH, NOW.
- TAKE FIVE, EVERYBODY!
TWICE IN TWO DAYS.
I HAD N.C.I.C. DATABASE CHECK FOR A
MARRIED COUPLE WHO DISAPPEARED IN 1978.
MEET MAX AND RUTH KEENAN.
THAT'S MOM AND DAD, ALL RIGHT.
THE N.C.I.C. DATABASE?
THAT'S... THAT'S CRIMINALS.
MY PARENTS WERE ON A
LIST OF FEDERAL OFFENDERS?
HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT? GUESS A
CRIMINAL NATURE RUNS IN THE FAMILY.
YOU WERE SEVEN YEARS OLD,
RUSS. OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER.
WHAT... WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME?
- WHAT IS MY REAL NAME?
- BONES, IT'S RIGHT HERE
IN THE FILE.
NO! NO! I WANT HIM TO TELL ME!
WHAT IS MY REAL NAME, RUSS?
MY NAME WAS KYLE.
YOUR NAME WAS JOY.
YOU ARE NOT MY BROTHER.
- BONES!
- NO! HE LIED ABOUT THAT!
WHAT ELSE ARE YOU LYING ABOUT?
WHAT ELSE ARE YOU NOT TELLING US?
AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THE WORST
THING WAS THAT THEY WERE MISSING.
EXCEPT "DEAD"
MEANS NO MORE HOPE.
MY MOTHER WAS ALIVE...
FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS
AFTER THEY DISAPPEARED.
SHE ABANDONED ME.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
LOOK, YOU FINALLY
GOT TO SLAP RUSS.
YOU'VE BEEN WANTING
TO DO THAT FOR YEARS.
I WORSHIPPED HIM, YOU KNOW? OH.
GOD, HE WAS SO COOL.
EVERYONE KNEW I WAS RUSS
BRENNAN'S LITTLE SISTER.
I WASN'T COOL OR PRETTY,
SO BEING HIS SISTER...
YOU KNOW THAT GAME MARCO POLO?
I'D BE SITTING IN CLASS,
AND I'D HEAR OUT
THE WINDOW, "MARCO!"
IT'D BE RUSS
CHECKING IN ON ME...
AND LETTING EVERYONE KNOW
THAT I WAS HIS LITTLE SISTER.
DID YOU "POLO"?
YEAH, SOMETIMES IT'D BE THE
ONLY WORD I SAID ALL DAY... "POLO."
AND THEN MOM AND
DAD DISAPPEARED,
AND RUSS TOOK OFF.
SUDDENLY NO ONE
CARED WHERE I WAS.
I MISS THAT.
SOMEONE CARING
WHERE I AM ALL THE TIME.
BONES! BONES! YOU UP THERE?
COME ON. LET'S GO,
HUH? CHOP-CHOP.
I FOUND THE AGENT THAT WAS
ASSIGNED TO YOUR PARENTS' CASE.
I WAS THE F.B.I. LIAISON ON A
BANK ROBBERY TASK FORCE...
WORKING OUT OF CINCINNATI
IN THE MID-TO-LATE '70s.
SECRET SERVICE,
STATE POLICE, A.T.F...
ALL OF US AFTER A PRETTY
BAD BUNCH OF ARMED ROBBERS...
WORKING OHIO, KENTUCKY, IOWA.
YOU KNOW, EXCUSE ME.
AM I TO UNDERSTAND THAT I'M ADDRESSING
THE FAMILY OF ONE OF THESE ROBBERS?
MAX AND RUTH KEENAN'S CHILDREN.
MAX AND RUTH. YEAH.
THEY NEVER REALLY
BELONGED IN THAT CREW.
WHY? THEY WORKED SMART.
SPECIALIZED IN SAFE
DEPOSIT BOXES. NO GUNS.
THEY'D EITHER CON THEIR
WAY IN OR CASE OUT THE PLACE.
BREAK BACK IN ON THE
WEEKEND. TOOK THEIR TIME.
WE NEVER GOT A HANDLE
ON THE SIZE OF THEIR SCORES.
- WHY?
- PEOPLE KEEP JEWELRY AND CASH
IN SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES.
AND A LOT OF STUFF THEY
DON'T WANT TO REPORT STOLEN.
NONE OF US UNDERSTOOD WHY
STAND-UP CRIMINALS LIKE MAX AND RUTH...
WOULD JOIN THIS MIDWEST
STRONG-ARM CREW.
LINKS TO WHITE SUPREMACISTS. REAL
DEDICATION TO FIREARMS AND VIOLENCE.
A JOB IN DAYTON WENT REALLY BAD.
TWO INNOCENT BYSTANDERS WERE KILLED,
ONE STATE TROOPER. SEVEN WOUNDED.
- WHEN WAS THAT?
- JULY 4, 1978.
- NEVER CAUGHT 'EM?
- NOT US. NO.
A FEW YEARS LATER, ONE OF
THEM TURNED STATE'S EVIDENCE...
FOR AN F.B.I. AGENT
OUT OF LOUISVILLE.
SENT THE REST TO JAIL.
MY UNDERSTANDING
IS THEY'RE ALL DEAD.
OUR PARENTS WERE BANK ROBBERS...
WHO MORPHED INTO A HIGH SCHOOL
SCIENCE TEACHER AND A BOOKKEEPER?
THEIR PARTICULAR BRAND OF
SAFETY DEPOSIT BREAK-INS STOPPED.
AT THE TIME, I FIGURED THE STRONG-ARM
CREW KILLED THEM FOR THEIR CUT.
AGENT BOOTH. WE
FOUND BLOOD IN THE CAR.
- WELL, WE EXPECTED THAT.
- YEAH, BUT HERE'S THE WRINKLE.
WE GOT BLOOD FROM
TWO SEPARATE INDIVIDUALS.
NOW, THESE TWO D.N.A. CHARTS
ARE FROM THE BLOOD IN THE CAR.
THESE TWO ARE FROM
DR. BRENNAN AND HER BROTHER.
THESE THREE MATCH
AND THIS ONE DOES NOT.
THESE THREE PEOPLE ARE RELATED?
THIS IS MOM, ME AND RUSS.
BUT THIS CHART... A MALE, BUT
IT'S DEFINITELY NOT YOUR FATHER.
SO WE'LL JUST RUN IT THROUGH CODAS
AND THE CONVICTED OFFENDER INDEX...
AND SEE WHAT POPS UP, ALL RIGHT?
SO YOU DESCRIBE SOMEONE
TO ME AND I DRAW THEM.
THAT'S THE DRILL.
WHO DO I DESCRIBE?
I DON'T KNOW YET.
BOOTH PUT US TOGETHER SO I COULD
CHARM YOU INTO TELLING ME THE TRUTH.
TRUST ME. I GOT NO MORE TRUTH.
YOU KNOW, YOUR
SISTER IS MY BEST FRIEND.
SO WHEN SHE SAYS YOU
CAN'T BE TRUSTED, I TRUST HER.
THIS IS YOU BEING CHARMING?
DOES TEMPE REALLY
HATE ME THAT MUCH?
RUSS, SHE LOVES YOU.
IT'D BE EASIER IF SHE HATED YOU.
HATE IS A LOT EASIER
TO DEAL WITH THAN LOVE,
ESPECIALLY DISAPPOINTED LOVE.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S IRONIC? TEMPE
DOESN'T TRUST ME BECAUSE I KEPT A PROMISE.
WHAT PROMISE?
COME HERE.
SEVEN YEARS OLD. DAD
AND ME IN THE BACKYARD.
THIS WAS IN OHIO.
MY DAD TELLS ME, "YOU'RE
NOT KYLE ANYMORE.
FORGET ABOUT KYLE. YOU'RE RUSS."
HE SAYS, "IF YOU EVER TELL
ANYONE... THE POLICE, ANYONE...
"YOU WILL BE KILLING YOUR
MOTHER AND YOUR SISTER.
SWEAR," HE SAYS.
"YOU SWEAR ON YOUR BABY
SISTER'S LIFE YOU WON'T TELL."
HE MAKES ME SAY MY NEW NAME A HUNDRED TIMES...
RUSS BRENNAN, RUSS BRENNAN, RUSS BRENNAN.
- HE SAYS IT WITH ME. RUSS BRENNAN. RUSS BRENNAN.
- RUSS BRENNAN.
RUSS BRENNAN. RUSS
BRENNAN. RUSS BRENNAN.
AROUND THAT TIME,
WHEN KYLE BECAME RUSS,
MAYBE YOU SAW SOMEONE.
MAYBE YOU SAW SOMEONE
WHO SCARED YOU?
SOMEONE WHO SCARED YOU
BECAUSE YOU HAD INSTINCTS.
THE INSTINCTS OF
A FRIGHTENED KID.
WAS THERE SOMEONE LIKE THAT?
YEAH.
A MAN CAME TO THE HOUSE ONE DAY.
MY DAD SAID IF I EVER SAW THIS GUY
AGAIN, TO GRAB MY SISTER AND HIDE.
WELL, WHEN YOU'RE READY,
YOU'LL DESCRIBE THAT MAN TO ME.
ALL RIGHT.
IF YOU KEEP BRINGING CHINESE
FOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
WE'RE BOTH GONNA GET FAT.
YEAH. I KNOW WHAT
YOU'VE BEEN THINKING.
I DOUBT IT.
YOU'VE BEEN THINKING THAT YOUR
FAMILY IS MADE UP OF LIARS AND CRIMINALS.
AND THAT MAKES YOU FEEL LONELY.
THERE'S A STORY HERE
WE DON'T KNOW YET.
LIKE WHAT?
BONES, "DON'T KNOW"
MEANS IT'S A MYSTERY.
WHAT WERE YOUR PARENTS LIKE?
MY PARENTS, UH...
MY DAD, HE, UH...
HE DROVE THUDS AND
PHANTOMS IN VIETNAM.
THOSE ARE FIGHTER JETS.
AFTER THAT, HE WAS A
BARBER IN PHILADELPHIA.
MY MOM, SHE WROTE JINGLES
FOR A LOCAL ADVERTISING AGENCY.
SO THEY DIDN'T GO OUT AT NIGHT
AFTER YOU WERE ASLEEP AND ROB BANKS?
LISTEN, BONES.
YOU KNOW...
PARENTS, UM, THEY
HAVE SECRET LIVES.
IF THEY DIDN'T, THEY
WOULDN'T BE PARENTS.
IT IS A LITTLE LATE
FOR CHINESE, ISN'T IT?
THANKS FOR THE MEAL.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
♪♪
DR. BRENNAN, IS IT MORNING?
NO.
I COULDN'T SLEEP. WHY ARE
YOU STILL HERE? WE'RE ALL HERE.
NO ONE'S LEAVING UNTIL WE FIGURE
OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MOTHER.
- THANK YOU.
- DON'T THANK ME.
I'M FAILING.
I'VE GONE OVER EVERY MILLIMETER OF THE
SKULL AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF REMODELING.
WHICH MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE ANY WOUND THAT
RESULTS IN A SUBDURAL HEMATOMA THAT BIG...
SHOULD LEAVE A MARK
ON THE LIVING BONE.
WHAT IF THE SUBDURAL HEMATOMA
STARTED OUT MUCH SMALLER?
- AND GREW OVER TIME?
- OVER THE COURSE OF,
SAY, A YEAR?
THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN THE GAP BETWEEN
THE TIME MY MOTHER SUSTAINED THE INJURY...
AND THE TIME SHE WAS BURIED.
AND THE BLOW ITSELF MIGHT NOT
HAVE LEFT A MARK ON THE BONE.
SHOW ME THE SURFACE OF THE SKULL
DIRECTLY ABOVE THE CENTER OF THE HEMATOMA.
HUNDRED TIMES MAGNIFICATION.
GO TO 500.
OH. SEE HERE?
MICROSCOPIC FRACTURES
ON THE OSTEONS.
AND IS THAT THE RESULT OF BLEEDING
INTO THE INTERSTITIAL SPACES?
I CAN MAP THE FRACTURED OSTEONS.
THAT MIGHT LEAD
US TO THE WEAPON.
I'M AWAKE. YEAH.
I COULD SEE THAT.
- CAUGHT A BREAK
ON THE D.N.A. IN THE CAR.
- YOU KNOW WHO IT IS?
NOT EXACTLY. IT'S A CLOSED FILE.
WHOEVER IT IS IS IN WITNESS PROTECTION.
- I'LL MAKE A REQUEST,
BUT THEY'RE PRETTY TIGHT THERE.
- WHAT IF YOU HAD A FACE?
WHO'S THAT?
SOMEBODY YOUR FATHER POINTED
OUT TO RUSS WHEN HE WAS SEVEN.
SOMEBODY HE'S STILL AFRAID OF.
I'M GONNA PLAY HARDBALL
WITH WITNESS PROTECTION.
IF THEY DON'T COOPERATE, I'M
GONNA PUT HIS FACE IN THE PAPER.
- WOULDN'T YOU GET
IN TROUBLE FOR THAT?
- WELL, WE'LL FIND OUT.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
SOMETIMES HE IS JUST...
WHEW!
WHAT?
THIS IS THE PATTERN
OF FRACTURED OSTEONS.
IT SUGGESTS A BLOW FROM THE
FRONT THAT GRAZED THE SKULL.
A BULLET? THERE WOULD'VE BEEN
PARTICULATES LEFT BEHIND BY A BULLET.
ESPECIALLY FIRED
FROM A SHORT RANGE.
I ISOLATED THE MOST FRACTURED
OSTEONS, AND THIS PATTERN EMERGES.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE
BUSINESS END OF A TIRE IRON.
NO, THE SIZE IS
WRONG. IT'S TOO SMALL.
THE WEAPON WAS ACTUALLY
CHASING THE SKULL WHEN IT LANDED.
I BELIEVE THAT THE VICTIM WAS
PULLED AWAY AT THE LAST SECOND...
SO THAT MOST OF
THE FORCE WAS LOST,
LEAVING ONLY THE
SLIGHTEST IMPRESSION.
BONES. I GOT WHAT I NEED
FROM WITNESS PROTECTION.
LET'S GO FOR A DRIVE.
EVERYBODY,
THANK YOU.
I...
THANK YOU.
OKAY, BONES. JUST LISTEN TO ME.
THIS GUY, McVICAR, HE
MIGHT BE A PIG FARMER NOW.
BUT HE USED TO BE A MECHANIC WITH TIES TO THE
STRONG-ARM CREW THAT YOUR PARENTS RAN AWAY FROM.
A MECHANIC? LIKE
RUSS? NOT LIKE RUSS.
RUSS FIXES THINGS. THIS
GUY, HE USED TO KILL PEOPLE.
- CAN I HELP YOU FOLKS?
- YEAH. PUT YOUR HANDS UP.
- DO IT!
- BOOTH!
CHECK HIM FOR A GUN.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
HE'S GOT A .45.
.45. CHECK HIS ANKLE.
HE'S GOT A .38.
.38. I'M ALWAYS RIGHT.
- I'M F.B.I. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
- STEVE BEERS, PIG FARMER.
VINCE McVICAR, THE
PIG FARMER, HUH?
YOU WANT TO TALK TO VINCE McVICAR, YOU
CAN DO IT THROUGH THE FEDERAL MARSHALS.
I DO, I'M GONNA HAVE TO TELL THEM ABOUT A
PIG FARMER WHO CARRIES TWO CONCEALED WEAPONS.
THREE. .22 IN THE
SMALL OF HIS BACK.
.22. I'M ALWAYS
RIGHT. NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YES, I AM. BONES,
PUT THE GUN DOWN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I'M RUTH KEENAN'S DAUGHTER.
JOY?
YOU'RE JOY KEENAN?
YEAH. I CAN SEE THAT.
THEY FOUND YOUR
BLOOD IN THE CAR.
YOU HURT LOTS OF PEOPLE,
VINCE. YOU BASHED IN THEIR HEADS.
WELL, THEY NEVER PROVED THAT, OR I
WOULDN'T BE IN WITNESS PROTECTION.
YEAH. WE KNOW HOW IT WORKS.
YOU RAT OUT YOUR CREW, EVERYBODY
LOSES INTEREST IN A FEW OLD MURDERS.
MY MOTHER WAS HIT ON THE HEAD.
YEAH, I KNOW.
I WAS THERE.
THIRTY-TWO STITCHES.
- SHE FOUGHT BACK, HUH?
- RUTHIE FOUGHT BACK, ALL RIGHT.
BUT NOT AGAINST ME.
THEN AGAINST WHOM?
YOUR FATHER.
WHY DID HE ATTACK YOU?
THINK ABOUT IT A
SECOND. ALL RIGHT?
YOU AND MY... MY MOTHER?
ME AND RUTHIE HAD
RUN OFF TOGETHER.
MAX CAUGHT US PULLING INTO A
MOTEL OUTSIDE OF CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS.
WE WERE NUTS ABOUT
EACH OTHER, RUTHIE AND ME.
CRAZY IN LOVE.
LET'S JUST SKIP THAT PART. OKAY?
WELL, HE HIT RUTHIE FIRST.
- WITH WHAT?
- TIRE IRON.
HIT MY ARM, CAUGHT ME A
ROUNDHOUSE TO THE HEAD.
LIGHTS OUT, BABY.
I CAME TO, RUTHIE
AND MAX WERE GONE.
NEVER SAW NEITHER OF THEM AGAIN.
YOU ASK ME, MAX KILLED RUTHIE AND
BURIED HER SOMEWHERE AND VANISHED.
OUR PLAN, ONCE WE SET UP...
MOST LIKELY IN FLORIDA...
WAS TO BRING YOU DOWN.
YOUR FATHER IS A HARD MAN, JOY.
MY NAME IS BRENNAN.
I'M DOCTOR...
I'M DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN.
I WORK AT THE
JEFFERSONIAN INSTITUTION.
I'M A FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST.
I SPECIALIZE IN IDENTIF...
IN IDENTIFYING...
IN IDENTIFYING PEOPLE WHEN
NOBODY KNOWS WHO THEY ARE.
MY FATHER WAS A SCIENCE TEACHER.
MY MOTHER WAS A BOOKKEEPER.
MY BROTHER...
I HAVE A BROTHER.
I'M DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN.
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. HEY, I KNOW.
IT'S OKAY. I KNOW.
SHH. IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
- NO WAY DAD HITS MOM. NO WAY.
- IF HE CAUGHT THEM TOGETHER...
- NO WAY MOM CHEATS ON DAD.
- MAN LIKE McVICAR LIES THE WAY
YOU GUYS TAKE A DRINK OF WATER.
HE KILLED PEOPLE, AND THEN HE
SNITCHED TO SAVE HIS OWN ASS.
- YOU DON'T BELIEVE HIM?
- NO. I DON'T BELIEVE HIM.
GIVE ME ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE
THAT DOESN'T BACK UP HIS STORY.
YOUR SCHOOL STICKER ON THE BACK OF
YOUR PARENTS' CAR... IT WAS SCRAPED OFF.
WHAT DOES THAT PROVE?
- THE ONLY REASON TO DO THAT... TO KEEP YOU GUYS HIDDEN, SAFE.
- FROM McVICAR.
McVICAR PERFORMED HITS FOR THE
CREW YOUR MOM AND DAD RAN OUT ON.
WHAT ELSE?
THERE'S A STORY THAT TRACKS FOR ME,
BUT WITHOUT EVIDENCE IT'S JUST A STORY.
TELL US.
YOUR PARENTS GO OUT CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
ONE DAY. THEY SPOT McVICAR, THE HIT MAN.
THEY LEAD HIM AWAY
FROM YOUR HOME.
SCRAPE OFF THE NAME OF THE SCHOOL
SO HE CAN'T TRACE IT BACK TO ME AND RUSS.
- HE TAKES OUT YOUR FATHER.
- AND MY MOTHER GETS AWAY
WITH A HEAD WOUND.
SHE LEAVES THE CAR A THOUSAND
MILES AWAY, FINDS FRIENDS.
BUT SHE CAN NEVER GO BACK TO SEE YOU GUYS
BECAUSE THE CREW IS STILL LOOKING FOR HER.
- IT'S JUST A STORY.
- FITS THE EVIDENCE.
THE WEAPONS THAT McVICAR HAD ON HIM,
THEY'RE A VIOLATION OF HIS AGREEMENT...
WITH THE WITNESS
PROTECTION PROGRAM.
I'M GONNA TAKE HIM INTO CUSTODY. I'M GONNA
GET A WARRANT. I'M GONNA SEARCH HIS FARM.
- SEARCH FOR WHAT?
- McVICAR LIKED TO
BASH IN PEOPLE'S HEADS.
MAYBE WE'LL GET LUCKY AND MATCH
THE WEAPON HE USED ON YOUR MOTHER.
- IT'S UNLIKELY.
- IN THAT CASE,
WE'LL STILL RUIN HIS DAY.
TEMPE, THAT THEORY EXPLAINS
WHY MOM NEVER CAME BACK FOR YOU...
DURING THAT YEAR AND
A HALF BEFORE SHE DIED.
WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE, RUSS?
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT LEFT ME.
YOU NEEDED SOMEONE
TO BLAME. YOU CHOSE ME.
I WAS 15 YEARS OLD!
I WAS 19! MY PARENTS WERE
GONE. MY SISTER HATED MY GUTS.
EVERYONE'S TELLING ME THAT
SHE'D BE BETTER OFF IN FOSTER CARE.
- YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK ME.
- I TRIED, TEMPERANCE. YOU WOULDN'T TALK TO ME.
YOU STILL WOULDN'T BE TALKING TO
ME IF MOM'S BONES HADN'T SHOWED UP.
AND I KEPT TRYING. EVERY YEAR.
EVERY YEAR ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT GAVE UP!
YOU TURNED YOUR BACK ON ME AND
YOU MADE YOURSELF A NEW FAMILY.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
THE F.B.I. DELIVERED ALL THESE TOOLS
AND WEAPONS FROM THE PIG FARM GUY.
WE WENT THROUGH THEM TO SEE IF ANY OF THEM
MATCHED THE MARK ON YOUR MOTHER'S SKULL.
WE GOT 20 HAMMERS,
A DOZEN HATCHETS.
MAN LOVES HIS BLUNT INSTRUMENTS.
SEVEN TIRE IRONS. NONE OF THEM MATCH
THE WOUND, EVEN ALLOWING FOR SHRINKAGE.
IT WAS 15 YEARS AGO.
EVEN IF McVICAR KILLED MY MOTHER, WHAT ARE
THE CHANCES HE HUNG ON TO THE EXACT WEAPON?
IT'S ALWAYS LIKE
THIS WITH McVICAR.
SOME MOOK IS FOUND WITH
HIS FOREHEAD BASHED IN.
THE F.B.I. GOES IN THE BASEMENT, COLLECTS
ABOUT 40 HAMMERS, AND NOTHING MATCHES.
- ALWAYS THE FOREHEAD?
- THAT'S HIS SIGNATURE KILL,
YEAH.
NOT THAT ANYONE
COULD EVER PROVE IT.
YOU SAID GUYS LIKE McVICAR GET
COMFORTABLE WITH A WAY OF KILLING.
- YEAH.
- WHERE DID McVICAR GROW UP?
HE GREW UP A FARM
KID IN IOWA. WHY?
HOW DO YOU SLAUGHTER A PIG?
- WHY IS HE HERE?
- HE GETS NERVOUS,
WE KNOW WE'RE GETTING CLOSE.
FOUND THIS IN THE BARN.
THIS IS A SPRING-LOADED
CAPTIVE BOLT STUNNER.
THE ANIMAL'S RESTRAINED.
IT'S PRESSED TO THE FOREHEAD.
HMM.
OH.
WHAT KIND OF PERSON COULD
USE THIS ON A HUMAN BEING?
WHAT KIND OF PERSON
COULD USE THIS ON A PIG?
IT'S THE PERFECT DODGE. BLOOD,
FLESH... IT CAN ALL BE EXPLAINED.
I THINK I JUST
BECAME A VEGETARIAN.
- SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- YEAH.
SAME SHAPE AS A TIRE IRON, BUT
SMALLER. THIS COULD BE A MATCH.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
ANYTHING, WE SHOULD TALK.
I'D CALL THAT NERVOUS,
WOULDN'T YOU?
THERE'S NO WAY TO PROVE THAT'S THE EXACT
WEAPON THAT KILLED YOUR MOTHER OR ANYONE ELSE.
YOU'D BE SURPRISED
WHAT SHE CAN PROVE.
- I NEED TO
SPEAK TO YOU ALONE.
- FORGET IT.
BOOTH, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S ALL RIGHT. NO. NO.
YOU GOT TWO WAYS
TO LOOK AT THIS.
ONE IS, YOU SCORE
A PRIVATE CHAT.
THE SECOND ONE IS, YOU ATTACK HER,
I'LL DRILL YOU THROUGH THE FOREHEAD.
HOW COULD I POSSIBLY ATTACK HER?
I'LL DECIDE WHAT IS AND ISN'T
AN ATTACK... LIKE, SAY, A HICCUP.
BOOTH, COME ON.
YOU KILLED MY MOTHER.
GONNA BE HARD TO
CONVINCE A JURY.
I'M PRETTY PERSUASIVE.
I'LL PUT YOU AWAY.
HERE'S THE THING, JOY.
TWO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT
REALLY HAPPENED THAT NIGHT.
ME AND YOUR FATHER.
YOU KILLED HIM BEFORE
YOU ATTACKED MY MOTHER.
THEN HOW DID I GET
THIS SCAR ON MY HEAD?
YOU GOT A CHOICE, JOY.
YOU DROP THE BOLT STUNNER DOWN THE
WELL, AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU PUT ME IN FRONT OF A JURY,
NOT ONLY WILL YOU
FAIL TO CONVICT,
BUT YOU'LL NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH.
YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH THAT, JOY.
YOU CAN'T LIVE NOT KNOWING.
I FOUND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO MY MOTHER.
I WILL FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO MY FATHER TOO.
- WE'RE DONE.
- YOU WILL NEVER KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FATHER.
WHY ARE YOU LETTING ME DRIVE?
IT'S YOUR REWARD. FOR WHAT?
FOR TOTALLY
PISSING OFF A HIT MAN.
CAN I READ YOUR BOOK?
- AFTER IT'S COME OUT.
- NOT BEFORE?
- NO.
- I LET YOU DRIVE.
- JUST LET IT GO.
- WHERE WE GOING?
I'D LIKE TO MAKE UP
FOR A LITTLE LOST TIME.
♪♪
I'M GONNA GO GET A
FUNNEL CAKE. OKAY?
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
THANKS, TEMPE.
RUSS.
YOU WERE RIGHT.
YOU WERE ONLY 19.
BUT AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANT.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE NEED TO
EXPLAIN THINGS TO ME, I GUESS.
THEN YOU HAVE TO
LET THEM TALK TO YOU.
IF YOU CAN MAYBE COME BACK
AND STAY A COUPLE DAYS LONGER?
PLEASE?
AT MY PLACE, I MEAN.
MARCO.
POLO.
ANYBODY THIRSTY?
IS IT TOO EARLY FOR A
BEER? AH, I GOTTA GO.
I'M PICKING UP PARKER
FOR THE WEEKEND.
YEAH, I'LL TAKE ONE.
YOU HAVE A BOY? YEAH.
THE WOMAN I'M SEEING,
SHE'S GOT TWO DAUGHTERS.
NICE.
GIRLS ARE NICE.
- TO US.
- WHOEVER THE HELL WE ARE.
TO WHAT WE'RE BECOMING.
NEW MESSAGE RECORDED TODAY.
3:00 P.M.
TEMPERANCE, YOU
HAVE TO STOP LOOKING.
Y-YOU HAVE TO STOP
LOOKING FOR ME RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS BIGGER AND WORSE THAN
YOU KNOW. PLEASE STOP NOW.
WHO'S THAT?
- STOP.
- THAT WAS MY FATHER.
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
THE ARCHAEOLOGY SECTION...
AND IDENTIFY THE SKULL AS
ASSYRIAN, HITTITE OR EGYPTIAN.
I'M IN COURT TODAY. I NEED MY NOTES.
THERE'S A PHOTOCOPY IN THE FILE.
THE LAST TIME I READ FROM PHOTOCOPIES, THE
DEFENSE LAWYER TOLD THE JURY I WAS WINGING IT.
READY? CHOP-CHOP.
I CAN'T FIND MY ORIGINAL
NOTES. PHOTOCOPY IN THE FILE.
NO. THE LAST TIME THE DEFENSE
LAWYER TOLD THE JURY THAT...
IT WAS A PLOY. IT
FAILED. LET'S GO.
I FOUND GLASS. I FOUND POLLEN.
WHICH DO YOU WANT FIRST? POLLEN.
PERHAPS YOU COULD SWING BY
ARCHAEOLOGY ON YOUR WAY TO YOUR COURT...
NO. NO SWINGING. HER HEIGHT MAKES NO
SENSE, AND HER SPINE LENGTH IS WACKY.
DR. BRENNAN?
CALCULATE THE HEIGHT OFF THE FEMUR
AND ASSUME THE FIRE SHRUNK HER SPINE.
I DON'T THINK YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT OTHER
CASES ON COURT DAY. YOU MIGHT GET CONFUSED.
- ASSYRIAN, HITTITE OR EGYPTIAN?
- DR. BRENNAN?
FIVE MINUTES! WHAT'S UP?
BUTTERCUP. SIGN OFF ON TISSUE MARKERS,
ANGELA CAN FINISH THE FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION.
WHY DID YOU SAY "BUTTERCUP"?
"WHAT'S UP, BUTTERCUP" IS AN
AMUSING, RHYMING, LINGUISTIC MEME.
THIS IS THE LATEST
JANE DOE FROM LIMBO.
HOW 'BOUT THIS FOR AN AMUSING, RHYMING
"LINGUINE"? "SEE YOU LATER, ALLIGATOR."
PLEASE DON'T REFER TO BONE
STORAGE AS "LIMBO." FIVE MINUTES?
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF HUMAN REMAINS
DOWN THERE WAITING TO BE IDENTIFIED.
LIMBO SEEMS AN APPROPRIATE
NAME. NO SIGN OF FOUL PLAY.
IF YOU HAVE TIME FOR THIS,
YOU HAVE TIME FOR MY HITTITE.
TISSUE DEPTH OF THE CHEEKBONES AND ALONG THE
JAW LINE LOOKS DEEP TO ME, BUT OTHERWISE...
OUT OF LIMBO, BACK ON EARTH
AND ON OUR WAY TO COURT. THANKS.
OH, TEMPERANCE. HI. DAVID!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
SHE HAS TO GET TO COURT, SO...
AGENT BOOTH, NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN,
ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M NOT IN CUSTODY. LISTEN.
I READ YOUR MANUSCRIPT. I COULDN'T
WAIT TO TELL YOU HOW GREAT IT IS.
- THANK YOU. REALLY?
- YOU READ HER MANUSCRIPT?
- UH-UH-UH.
- HER SECOND NOVEL,
BONE FREE.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE BORN
FREE EXCEPT NO LIONS.
- YUCK ON THE TITLE. AM I IN IT?
- NO.
- DEFINITELY.
- AH!
- UH, WE HAVE TO GET TO COURT.
- HOPE YOU HAVE YOUR ORIGINAL
NOTES BECAUSE LAST TIME...
TOLD YOU, BOOTH! NO,
BONES! WE DON'T HAVE TIME!
OUR... ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.
UH, THREE MINUTES.
I'LL WAIT FOR YOU IN THE CAR.
HMM.
SO ARE YOU TWO, UH...
YEAH, SORT OF. IS
THAT A PROBLEM? YEAH.
BONES IS VERY LITERAL, SO IN THE
FUTURE, NO JOKEY ADVICE ON A COURT DAY.
OKAY.
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
WHAT'S THIS?
ZACK'S JANE DOE. HE SAID THAT
YOU OKAYED THE TISSUE MARKER.
NO, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT.
THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE RIGHT.
YOU DID IT WRONG!
IT'S A MISTAKE, ANGELA.
ALL RIGHT, FINE.
SWEETIE, I'LL TURN IT OFF.
ZACK, THE ARTIFACT BAG FROM
YOUR JANE DOE... DO YOU HAVE IT?
YES. I ALSO HAVE THREE...
IT WAS DR. BRENNAN.
THREE BAGS OF SOIL SAMPLES FROM
WHERE THE REMAINS WERE BURIED.
ANY OF YOU SEE BONES? OKAY, WE'RE
DUE IN COURT, LIKE... HELLO... NOW.
WHAT?
THIS...
TOTALLY FREAKED HER OUT.
MY THEORY: CAFFEINE INTOLERANCE.
YEAH. YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO TAKE
DR. BRENNAN OFF THE WITNESS LIST TODAY.
NO. SHE CAN'T MAKE
IT INTO COURT. THANKS.
ALL RIGHT. WHAT'S GOING ON?
THAT... IS CHRISTINE BRENNAN.
GOOD GOD.
YOU JUST FOUND BONES'S MOTHER.
I HAVE TO MISS COURT. I KNOW.
I REMEMBER THIS BELT BUCKLE.
I BORROWED IT WITHOUT ASKING...
FIRST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL.
MY FATHER HAD IT SPECIALLY MADE FOR
MY MOTHER BECAUSE SHE LOVED DOLPHINS.
BONES, I'M SORRY.
I ALWAYS KNEW THAT FOR MY
PARENTS TO DISAPPEAR LIKE THAT...
BYE! BYE!
THEY... THEY HAD TO BE DEAD.
I THOUGHT THAT WHEN
IT WAS CONFIRMED,
I'D FEEL RELIEF, BUT...
- IT'S STILL BAD NEWS.
- YOU HAVE THE FILE, ZACK?
JANE DOE NUMBER 129-0998.
- WHERE WAS SHE FOUND?
- BONES, I...
WHAT DOES IT SAY?
"IN SEPTEMBER OF 1998,
"A GRAVE-DIGGING CREW AT THE SUNSET
MEMORY CEMETERY IN SALISBURY, PENNSYLVANIA,
UNCOVERED HUMAN REMAINS IN A COMPLETELY
ADVANCED STAGE OF DECOMPOSITION."
- IS IT FROM A GRAVE?
- NO.
IT APPEARS SOMEBODY JUST DUG A HOLE AT THE EDGE
OF THE CEMETERY AND PLOPPED THE BODY IN THERE.
ZACK. - SORRY.
THE LOCAL CORONER FOUND NO
OBVIOUS EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY...
AND SENT THE REMAINS, A FEW
ARTIFACTS AND SOIL SAMPLES...
TO THE JEFFERSONIAN,
HOPING WE COULD IDENTIFY HER.
TECHNICALLY, YOUR MOTHER'S BEEN AT
THE JEFFERSONIAN AS LONG AS YOU HAVE.
- ZACK.
- SORRY. BUT THEY BOTH
GOT HERE IN 1998.
DR. BRENNAN,
MISS MONTENEGRO HAS
VOLUNTEERED TO DRIVE YOU HOME.
TEMPERANCE.
GO HOME.
IT'S AFTER MIDNIGHT. WELL, I
WAS DRIVING BY. I SAW THE LIGHTS.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
LIKE SOME WONG FOO'S.
YOU SAW MY LIGHTS FROM THE ROAD?
THAT IS CORRECT.
ALL RIGHT!
AFTER YOU GAVE ME YOUR PARENTS' MISSING
PERSONS FILE, I DID SOME POKING AROUND.
- YOU WORKED ON IT?
- WELL, THERE WASN'T MUCH
I COULD DO.
THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE,
NO CLEAR JURISDICTION.
LISTEN, BONES.
FINDING YOUR MOTHER'S REMAINS
MEANS I CAN OPEN AN OFFICIAL F.B.I. CASE.
I MEAN, FOR THE FIRST TIME, A
REAL INVESTIGATION CAN OCCUR.
BYE!
THREE DAYS AFTER MY
PARENTS DISAPPEARED,
THEY FOUND OUR CAR AT A REST STOP A THOUSAND
MILES FROM WHERE WE LIVED IN CHICAGO.
YEAH, I FOUND IT IN A FEDERAL
IMPOUND LOT IN JERSEY.
I'M HAVING IT TRUCKED
TO THE JEFFERSONIAN.
THEY KEPT IT ALL THOSE
YEARS? WELL, NOBODY CLAIMED IT.
YOUR FATHER WAS A HIGH
SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHER.
HE HAD NO TROUBLE
WITH ANYONE AT WORK.
AND THEN YOUR MOTHER...
THAT'S A DIFFERENT MATTER.
SHE WAS A BOOKKEEPER.
MMM, SHE WAS A WITNESS FOR THE
PROSECUTION TWICE ON EVASION CHARGES.
THAT GIVES MOTIVE.
THEN THERE'S, UH, YOUR BROTHER.
RUSS... THE BROTHER
WHO DESERTED ME.
HE'S ON PAROLE. HE RAN A CHOP SHOP
PROCESSING STOLEN CARS FOR PARTS.
FIGURES.
HE SAYS THAT YOU BLAME HIM FOR
YOUR PARENTS' DISAPPEARANCE?
YOU TALKED TO
RUSS? I CALLED HIM.
JUST ASKED HIM A FEW ROUTINE
QUESTIONS. HE DIDN'T GIVE ME MUCH.
WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOUR MOM. OKAY?
ADIPOCERE AND DECOMP
RESIDUES IN THE BAGGED SOIL...
INDICATE THE BODY WAS
BURIED AT LEAST FIVE YEARS.
THAT'S CONGRUENT WITH, UH, P.H. IN
THE SOIL, CLIMATE AND DEGREE OF DECOMP.
NO. SEVEN YEARS. IT
SHOULD BE SEVEN YEARS.
I'M STILL GOING THROUGH
THE SOIL SAMPLES,
BUT SOMETHING IN THERE MIGHT
ALLOW ME TO BE MORE SPECIFIC.
SHE WAS BURIED
NEAR CHRISTMAS 1991.
I NEED THE ROOM, GUYS.
THE WHOLE LAB? FOR WHAT?
IT'S A COP WAY OF
SAYING, "GET LOST."
WHAT? WHEN YOU FIRST GAVE
ME THE FILE ON YOUR PARENTS,
I LOOKED BACK INTO THEIR LIVES THREE
TO FOUR YEARS BEFORE THEY DISAPPEARED.
JOBS, FRIENDS. OKAY.
I LOOKED BACK A LITTLE
FURTHER AND I FOUND OUT THAT...
CHRISTINE BRENNAN
DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE 1978.
WHAT ARE YOU TELLING ME? THAT...
THAT THIS WOMAN ISN'T MY MOTHER?
I WAS BORN IN 1976.
OBVIOUSLY MY MOTHER EXISTED.
DO YOU KNOW THE
MOST COMMON WAY...
OF CREATING AN IDENTITY?
GETTING THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE
OF SOMEONE DECEASED...
WHO WAS BORN THE
SAME YEAR YOU WERE...
AND TAKE OVER THAT IDENTITY.
I FOUND ONE MATTHEW
BRENNAN BORN AND DIED, 1948.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. I
DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF IT MEANS.
IT MEANS THAT YOUR PARENTS
WEREN'T WHO YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE.
IT MEANS THAT THEY
WERE LIVING UNDER...
ASSUMED IDENTITIES.
EVERY MINUTE THIS IS
DOWN, I'M LOSING MONEY.
YOU WANT FASTER WORK?
GRAB YOURSELF A CUP OF COFFEE.
LET ME ALONE, MAN.
- YOU LICENSED
FOR THIS JOB?
- YOU'RE A COP.
- YOU KNOW WHO RECOGNIZES COPS?
- OTHER COPS.
AND CROOKS.
I TALKED TO YOU A COUPLE MONTHS
AGO ON THE PHONE. I'M BOOTH.
YOU GONNA ASK ME SOME MORE
QUESTIONS ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD?
YOU FOUND MY MOTHER?
YOUR SISTER DID THE I.D.
WHAT ABOUT DAD? NO.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? DO YOU REMEMBER
BEING ANYONE ELSE BESIDES RUSS BRENNAN?
NO.
YOU WOULDN'T LIE TO ME, WOULD YOU,
RUSS? COPS ALWAYS THINK I'M LYING.
I WANT YOU TO COME BACK TO D.C.
AND HELP OUT IN THIS INVESTIGATION.
I GOT A JOB, MAN.
THE ALTERNATIVE IS I JUST CITE YOU FOR
PERFORMING UNLICENSED REPAIRS ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT,
GET YOUR PAROLE REVOKED.
TELL YOU WHAT.
YOU GIVE ME A CALL WHEN
YOU GET INTO TOWN, HUH?
OH, AND IF YOU ASK ME, THIS...
THIS THING HERE IS BEYOND HOPE.
LOOK AT THAT. IT
WORKS. I'LL SEE YOU SOON.
WHAT IS IT? A CLUMP
OF CELLULOSE.
IT CAME FROM SOIL SAMPLES AT BRENNAN'S MOM'S
BURIAL SITE FROM THE SAME DEPTH AS HER BONES.
YOU SAID YOU HAD
A GIANT PROBLEM.
I USED THE LASER SCANNING
CONFOCAL MICROSCOPE.
WHICH ONE IS THAT? IT LOOKS
LIKE AN ESPRESSO MACHINE.
NOW, IT SHOWED THAT THIS IS
MASS-PRODUCED CARDBOARD.
ELECTRON DISPERSION
SPECTROSCOPY INDICATES...
THAT THE CARDBOARD IS COATED WITH
ETHYLENICALLY UNSATURATED MONOMERS,
WHICH KEPT IT FROM
COMPLETELY DETERIORATING.
- HODGINS. WHAT'S THE GIANT PROBLEM?
- IT'S A MOVIE TICKET.
A LITTLE U.V. ANALYSIS, SOME
GUESSWORK, I COME UP WITH THE FUGITIVE.
SO WHAT'S WRONG? YOU DON'T LIKE
BRENNAN'S MOM'S TASTE IN MOVIES?
THE FUGITIVE WAS THE THIRD
TOP-GROSSING FILM OF 1993.
BRENNAN'S PARENTS
DISAPPEARED IN DECEMBER OF 1991.
YET MOM'S GOING TO HARRISON FORD
MOVIES ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER.
OH, GOD. THIS IS GIANT.
WHAT DO I DO? PRETEND
I NEVER FOUND THIS?
DR. BRENNAN? YES. UM...
DID YOU FIND SOMETHING
IN THE SOIL? YEAH.
THIS WAS IN THE SOIL SAMPLES
ALONGSIDE YOUR MOTHER'S REMAINS.
A MOVIE TICKET?
RIALTO THEATER, 9:00 P.M.
SHOWING OF THE FUGITIVE,
SEPTEMBER 22, 1993.
WELL, HOW'D IT GET THERE?
EITHER YOUR MOTHER HAD IT IN HER POSSESSION
WHEN SHE WAS BURIED, OR IT WAS BURIED WITH HER.
EITHER WAY, IT DATES THE BURIAL.
NO. THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. MY
MOTHER DISAPPEARED IN 1991.
- SWEETIE.
- IT'S POSSIBLE MOM WAS BURIED
SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEN MOVED.
- NO. THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
- MAYBE IT IS.
WE DECIDED TO
TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
AND THIS IS THE TRUTH.
YOU ALL RIGHT? I'M PRETTY SURE I
JUST FOUND CAUSE OF DEATH. ZACK?
- YES, DR. BRENNAN?
- SEE THE DISCOLORATION
ON THE INSIDE OF THE SKULL?
LEFT SIDE, EXTENDING
FROM THE CORONAL SUTURE,
CROSSING THE SUPERIOR AND INFERIOR
TEMPORAL LINES TO THE SQUAMOSAL SUTURE.
SUBDURAL HEMATOMA.
WHOO! A BIG ONE.
- DR. BRENNAN?
- PROBABLY FATAL.
THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS
OF A BLOW TO THE OUTER SKULL.
SCAN THE OUTSIDE OF THE SKULL.
LOOK FOR HISTOLOGICAL
CHANGES, MICROSCOPIC MODELING.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO HIM.
BONES. BONES. ALL
RIGHT. LISTEN, ZACK.
IF THIS GUY MOVES, SHOOT HIM WITH
A TRANQUILIZER DART OR SOMETHING.
I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE
A TRANQUILIZER GUN.
HEY, BONES. COME ON.
MY MOTHER DIED OF A SUBDURAL
HEMATOMA. BLEEDING IN THE BRAIN.
YOU WANT TO PROCEED
RATIONALLY, CORRECT?
CHANCES ARE THE SUBDURAL HEMATOMA
WAS CAUSED BY A BLOW TO THE HEAD.
GREAT. YOU GOT THE HOW.
NOW LET'S GET THE WHO.
YOU JUST TOLD ME THAT
YOUR MOTHER WAS MURDERED.
I MEAN, WHO BETTER TO HELP
US THAN... THAN YOUR BROTHER?
MOM LOVED DOLPHINS.
THIS WAS MINE!
MY FAVORITE MARBLE. WHAT
WAS SHE DOING WITH THAT?
WHERE DID BOOTH FIND YOU?
IT'S NOT HARD FOR AN F.B.I.
AGENT TO FIND A PAROLEE.
I DIDN'T ASK HOW. I ASKED WHERE.
MOREHEAD CITY, NORTH CAROLINA.
I CALL EVERY YEAR ON YOUR
BIRTHDAY. YOU NEVER PICK UP.
TAKE A HINT.
COULD I HAVE THIS,
PLEASE? IT'S EVIDENCE.
OF WHAT? IT'S A KID'S MARBLE. IT'S
THE RULES. I CAN'T LET YOU HAVE IT.
SAME OLD TEMPE.
NEVER MET A RULE WORTH BREAKING.
SAME OLD RUSS. ON PAROLE.
ANGELA, I MIGHT SEND RUSS IN
TO DESCRIBE SOME PEOPLE TO YOU.
OKAY. WHAT PEOPLE? SOME PEOPLE A
SEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOY MIGHT REMEMBER.
THAT'S A LITTLE
VAGUE THERE, BOOTH.
THE DRAWING... I MEAN, THAT'S IMPORTANT.
IT'S MORE I TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.
WHEN IT COMES TO MEN?
WHEN IT COMES TO SUSPECTS.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT
BONES ASKED HER BOYFRIEND,
YOU KNOW, TO READ
HER BOOK AND NOT ME?
YOU KNOW, MAYBE...
MAYBE BECAUSE THERE WAS
JUST TOO MUCH OF ME IN THE STORY.
OH, SHE WAS
EMBARRASSED, YOU THINK?
MAY... MAYBE?
BOOTH. YEAH.
I'M ON MY WAY. THANKS.
UH, THE FAMILY CAR JUST ARRIVED.
ARE WE ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR?
TREAT IT LIKE A BRAND-NEW CRIME
SCENE. FULL WORKUP. LET'S GO!
BUT TEAR THROUGH THE WHOLE CAR, TREAT IT, AND
THEN GO THROUGH IT WITH A FINE-TOOTH COMB.
- THAT'S OUR OLD CAR, ALL RIGHT.
- THE NAME OF MY SCHOOL
IS SCRAPED OFF.
WOODSIDE ELEMENTARY. THEY SAID
THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING IN THE CAR.
THERE WAS A BLOODSTAIN,
FRONT SEAT, PASSENGER SIDE.
GUYS! EVERYBODY!
- I NEED THE SPACE! NOW!
- WHAT? NOW?
- YEAH, NOW.
- TAKE FIVE, EVERYBODY!
TWICE IN TWO DAYS.
I HAD N.C.I.C. DATABASE CHECK FOR A
MARRIED COUPLE WHO DISAPPEARED IN 1978.
MEET MAX AND RUTH KEENAN.
THAT'S MOM AND DAD, ALL RIGHT.
THE N.C.I.C. DATABASE?
THAT'S... THAT'S CRIMINALS.
MY PARENTS WERE ON A
LIST OF FEDERAL OFFENDERS?
HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT? GUESS A
CRIMINAL NATURE RUNS IN THE FAMILY.
YOU WERE SEVEN YEARS OLD,
RUSS. OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER.
WHAT... WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME?
- WHAT IS MY REAL NAME?
- BONES, IT'S RIGHT HERE
IN THE FILE.
NO! NO! I WANT HIM TO TELL ME!
WHAT IS MY REAL NAME, RUSS?
MY NAME WAS KYLE.
YOUR NAME WAS JOY.
YOU ARE NOT MY BROTHER.
- BONES!
- NO! HE LIED ABOUT THAT!
WHAT ELSE ARE YOU LYING ABOUT?
WHAT ELSE ARE YOU NOT TELLING US?
AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THE WORST
THING WAS THAT THEY WERE MISSING.
EXCEPT "DEAD"
MEANS NO MORE HOPE.
MY MOTHER WAS ALIVE...
FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS
AFTER THEY DISAPPEARED.
SHE ABANDONED ME.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
LOOK, YOU FINALLY
GOT TO SLAP RUSS.
YOU'VE BEEN WANTING
TO DO THAT FOR YEARS.
I WORSHIPPED HIM, YOU KNOW? OH.
GOD, HE WAS SO COOL.
EVERYONE KNEW I WAS RUSS
BRENNAN'S LITTLE SISTER.
I WASN'T COOL OR PRETTY,
SO BEING HIS SISTER...
YOU KNOW THAT GAME MARCO POLO?
I'D BE SITTING IN CLASS,
AND I'D HEAR OUT
THE WINDOW, "MARCO!"
IT'D BE RUSS
CHECKING IN ON ME...
AND LETTING EVERYONE KNOW
THAT I WAS HIS LITTLE SISTER.
DID YOU "POLO"?
YEAH, SOMETIMES IT'D BE THE
ONLY WORD I SAID ALL DAY... "POLO."
AND THEN MOM AND
DAD DISAPPEARED,
AND RUSS TOOK OFF.
SUDDENLY NO ONE
CARED WHERE I WAS.
I MISS THAT.
SOMEONE CARING
WHERE I AM ALL THE TIME.
BONES! BONES! YOU UP THERE?
COME ON. LET'S GO,
HUH? CHOP-CHOP.
I FOUND THE AGENT THAT WAS
ASSIGNED TO YOUR PARENTS' CASE.
I WAS THE F.B.I. LIAISON ON A
BANK ROBBERY TASK FORCE...
WORKING OUT OF CINCINNATI
IN THE MID-TO-LATE '70s.
SECRET SERVICE,
STATE POLICE, A.T.F...
ALL OF US AFTER A PRETTY
BAD BUNCH OF ARMED ROBBERS...
WORKING OHIO, KENTUCKY, IOWA.
YOU KNOW, EXCUSE ME.
AM I TO UNDERSTAND THAT I'M ADDRESSING
THE FAMILY OF ONE OF THESE ROBBERS?
MAX AND RUTH KEENAN'S CHILDREN.
MAX AND RUTH. YEAH.
THEY NEVER REALLY
BELONGED IN THAT CREW.
WHY? THEY WORKED SMART.
SPECIALIZED IN SAFE
DEPOSIT BOXES. NO GUNS.
THEY'D EITHER CON THEIR
WAY IN OR CASE OUT THE PLACE.
BREAK BACK IN ON THE
WEEKEND. TOOK THEIR TIME.
WE NEVER GOT A HANDLE
ON THE SIZE OF THEIR SCORES.
- WHY?
- PEOPLE KEEP JEWELRY AND CASH
IN SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES.
AND A LOT OF STUFF THEY
DON'T WANT TO REPORT STOLEN.
NONE OF US UNDERSTOOD WHY
STAND-UP CRIMINALS LIKE MAX AND RUTH...
WOULD JOIN THIS MIDWEST
STRONG-ARM CREW.
LINKS TO WHITE SUPREMACISTS. REAL
DEDICATION TO FIREARMS AND VIOLENCE.
A JOB IN DAYTON WENT REALLY BAD.
TWO INNOCENT BYSTANDERS WERE KILLED,
ONE STATE TROOPER. SEVEN WOUNDED.
- WHEN WAS THAT?
- JULY 4, 1978.
- NEVER CAUGHT 'EM?
- NOT US. NO.
A FEW YEARS LATER, ONE OF
THEM TURNED STATE'S EVIDENCE...
FOR AN F.B.I. AGENT
OUT OF LOUISVILLE.
SENT THE REST TO JAIL.
MY UNDERSTANDING
IS THEY'RE ALL DEAD.
OUR PARENTS WERE BANK ROBBERS...
WHO MORPHED INTO A HIGH SCHOOL
SCIENCE TEACHER AND A BOOKKEEPER?
THEIR PARTICULAR BRAND OF
SAFETY DEPOSIT BREAK-INS STOPPED.
AT THE TIME, I FIGURED THE STRONG-ARM
CREW KILLED THEM FOR THEIR CUT.
AGENT BOOTH. WE
FOUND BLOOD IN THE CAR.
- WELL, WE EXPECTED THAT.
- YEAH, BUT HERE'S THE WRINKLE.
WE GOT BLOOD FROM
TWO SEPARATE INDIVIDUALS.
NOW, THESE TWO D.N.A. CHARTS
ARE FROM THE BLOOD IN THE CAR.
THESE TWO ARE FROM
DR. BRENNAN AND HER BROTHER.
THESE THREE MATCH
AND THIS ONE DOES NOT.
THESE THREE PEOPLE ARE RELATED?
THIS IS MOM, ME AND RUSS.
BUT THIS CHART... A MALE, BUT
IT'S DEFINITELY NOT YOUR FATHER.
SO WE'LL JUST RUN IT THROUGH CODAS
AND THE CONVICTED OFFENDER INDEX...
AND SEE WHAT POPS UP, ALL RIGHT?
SO YOU DESCRIBE SOMEONE
TO ME AND I DRAW THEM.
THAT'S THE DRILL.
WHO DO I DESCRIBE?
I DON'T KNOW YET.
BOOTH PUT US TOGETHER SO I COULD
CHARM YOU INTO TELLING ME THE TRUTH.
TRUST ME. I GOT NO MORE TRUTH.
YOU KNOW, YOUR
SISTER IS MY BEST FRIEND.
SO WHEN SHE SAYS YOU
CAN'T BE TRUSTED, I TRUST HER.
THIS IS YOU BEING CHARMING?
DOES TEMPE REALLY
HATE ME THAT MUCH?
RUSS, SHE LOVES YOU.
IT'D BE EASIER IF SHE HATED YOU.
HATE IS A LOT EASIER
TO DEAL WITH THAN LOVE,
ESPECIALLY DISAPPOINTED LOVE.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S IRONIC? TEMPE
DOESN'T TRUST ME BECAUSE I KEPT A PROMISE.
WHAT PROMISE?
COME HERE.
SEVEN YEARS OLD. DAD
AND ME IN THE BACKYARD.
THIS WAS IN OHIO.
MY DAD TELLS ME, "YOU'RE
NOT KYLE ANYMORE.
FORGET ABOUT KYLE. YOU'RE RUSS."
HE SAYS, "IF YOU EVER TELL
ANYONE... THE POLICE, ANYONE...
"YOU WILL BE KILLING YOUR
MOTHER AND YOUR SISTER.
SWEAR," HE SAYS.
"YOU SWEAR ON YOUR BABY
SISTER'S LIFE YOU WON'T TELL."
HE MAKES ME SAY MY NEW NAME A HUNDRED TIMES...
RUSS BRENNAN, RUSS BRENNAN, RUSS BRENNAN.
- HE SAYS IT WITH ME. RUSS BRENNAN. RUSS BRENNAN.
- RUSS BRENNAN.
RUSS BRENNAN. RUSS
BRENNAN. RUSS BRENNAN.
AROUND THAT TIME,
WHEN KYLE BECAME RUSS,
MAYBE YOU SAW SOMEONE.
MAYBE YOU SAW SOMEONE
WHO SCARED YOU?
SOMEONE WHO SCARED YOU
BECAUSE YOU HAD INSTINCTS.
THE INSTINCTS OF
A FRIGHTENED KID.
WAS THERE SOMEONE LIKE THAT?
YEAH.
A MAN CAME TO THE HOUSE ONE DAY.
MY DAD SAID IF I EVER SAW THIS GUY
AGAIN, TO GRAB MY SISTER AND HIDE.
WELL, WHEN YOU'RE READY,
YOU'LL DESCRIBE THAT MAN TO ME.
ALL RIGHT.
IF YOU KEEP BRINGING CHINESE
FOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
WE'RE BOTH GONNA GET FAT.
YEAH. I KNOW WHAT
YOU'VE BEEN THINKING.
I DOUBT IT.
YOU'VE BEEN THINKING THAT YOUR
FAMILY IS MADE UP OF LIARS AND CRIMINALS.
AND THAT MAKES YOU FEEL LONELY.
THERE'S A STORY HERE
WE DON'T KNOW YET.
LIKE WHAT?
BONES, "DON'T KNOW"
MEANS IT'S A MYSTERY.
WHAT WERE YOUR PARENTS LIKE?
MY PARENTS, UH...
MY DAD, HE, UH...
HE DROVE THUDS AND
PHANTOMS IN VIETNAM.
THOSE ARE FIGHTER JETS.
AFTER THAT, HE WAS A
BARBER IN PHILADELPHIA.
MY MOM, SHE WROTE JINGLES
FOR A LOCAL ADVERTISING AGENCY.
SO THEY DIDN'T GO OUT AT NIGHT
AFTER YOU WERE ASLEEP AND ROB BANKS?
LISTEN, BONES.
YOU KNOW...
PARENTS, UM, THEY
HAVE SECRET LIVES.
IF THEY DIDN'T, THEY
WOULDN'T BE PARENTS.
IT IS A LITTLE LATE
FOR CHINESE, ISN'T IT?
THANKS FOR THE MEAL.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
♪♪
DR. BRENNAN, IS IT MORNING?
NO.
I COULDN'T SLEEP. WHY ARE
YOU STILL HERE? WE'RE ALL HERE.
NO ONE'S LEAVING UNTIL WE FIGURE
OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR MOTHER.
- THANK YOU.
- DON'T THANK ME.
I'M FAILING.
I'VE GONE OVER EVERY MILLIMETER OF THE
SKULL AND FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF REMODELING.
WHICH MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE ANY WOUND THAT
RESULTS IN A SUBDURAL HEMATOMA THAT BIG...
SHOULD LEAVE A MARK
ON THE LIVING BONE.
WHAT IF THE SUBDURAL HEMATOMA
STARTED OUT MUCH SMALLER?
- AND GREW OVER TIME?
- OVER THE COURSE OF,
SAY, A YEAR?
THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN THE GAP BETWEEN
THE TIME MY MOTHER SUSTAINED THE INJURY...
AND THE TIME SHE WAS BURIED.
AND THE BLOW ITSELF MIGHT NOT
HAVE LEFT A MARK ON THE BONE.
SHOW ME THE SURFACE OF THE SKULL
DIRECTLY ABOVE THE CENTER OF THE HEMATOMA.
HUNDRED TIMES MAGNIFICATION.
GO TO 500.
OH. SEE HERE?
MICROSCOPIC FRACTURES
ON THE OSTEONS.
AND IS THAT THE RESULT OF BLEEDING
INTO THE INTERSTITIAL SPACES?
I CAN MAP THE FRACTURED OSTEONS.
THAT MIGHT LEAD
US TO THE WEAPON.
I'M AWAKE. YEAH.
I COULD SEE THAT.
- CAUGHT A BREAK
ON THE D.N.A. IN THE CAR.
- YOU KNOW WHO IT IS?
NOT EXACTLY. IT'S A CLOSED FILE.
WHOEVER IT IS IS IN WITNESS PROTECTION.
- I'LL MAKE A REQUEST,
BUT THEY'RE PRETTY TIGHT THERE.
- WHAT IF YOU HAD A FACE?
WHO'S THAT?
SOMEBODY YOUR FATHER POINTED
OUT TO RUSS WHEN HE WAS SEVEN.
SOMEBODY HE'S STILL AFRAID OF.
I'M GONNA PLAY HARDBALL
WITH WITNESS PROTECTION.
IF THEY DON'T COOPERATE, I'M
GONNA PUT HIS FACE IN THE PAPER.
- WOULDN'T YOU GET
IN TROUBLE FOR THAT?
- WELL, WE'LL FIND OUT.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
SOMETIMES HE IS JUST...
WHEW!
WHAT?
THIS IS THE PATTERN
OF FRACTURED OSTEONS.
IT SUGGESTS A BLOW FROM THE
FRONT THAT GRAZED THE SKULL.
A BULLET? THERE WOULD'VE BEEN
PARTICULATES LEFT BEHIND BY A BULLET.
ESPECIALLY FIRED
FROM A SHORT RANGE.
I ISOLATED THE MOST FRACTURED
OSTEONS, AND THIS PATTERN EMERGES.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE
BUSINESS END OF A TIRE IRON.
NO, THE SIZE IS
WRONG. IT'S TOO SMALL.
THE WEAPON WAS ACTUALLY
CHASING THE SKULL WHEN IT LANDED.
I BELIEVE THAT THE VICTIM WAS
PULLED AWAY AT THE LAST SECOND...
SO THAT MOST OF
THE FORCE WAS LOST,
LEAVING ONLY THE
SLIGHTEST IMPRESSION.
BONES. I GOT WHAT I NEED
FROM WITNESS PROTECTION.
LET'S GO FOR A DRIVE.
EVERYBODY,
THANK YOU.
I...
THANK YOU.
OKAY, BONES. JUST LISTEN TO ME.
THIS GUY, McVICAR, HE
MIGHT BE A PIG FARMER NOW.
BUT HE USED TO BE A MECHANIC WITH TIES TO THE
STRONG-ARM CREW THAT YOUR PARENTS RAN AWAY FROM.
A MECHANIC? LIKE
RUSS? NOT LIKE RUSS.
RUSS FIXES THINGS. THIS
GUY, HE USED TO KILL PEOPLE.
- CAN I HELP YOU FOLKS?
- YEAH. PUT YOUR HANDS UP.
- DO IT!
- BOOTH!
CHECK HIM FOR A GUN.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
HE'S GOT A .45.
.45. CHECK HIS ANKLE.
HE'S GOT A .38.
.38. I'M ALWAYS RIGHT.
- I'M F.B.I. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
- STEVE BEERS, PIG FARMER.
VINCE McVICAR, THE
PIG FARMER, HUH?
YOU WANT TO TALK TO VINCE McVICAR, YOU
CAN DO IT THROUGH THE FEDERAL MARSHALS.
I DO, I'M GONNA HAVE TO TELL THEM ABOUT A
PIG FARMER WHO CARRIES TWO CONCEALED WEAPONS.
THREE. .22 IN THE
SMALL OF HIS BACK.
.22. I'M ALWAYS
RIGHT. NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YES, I AM. BONES,
PUT THE GUN DOWN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I'M RUTH KEENAN'S DAUGHTER.
JOY?
YOU'RE JOY KEENAN?
YEAH. I CAN SEE THAT.
THEY FOUND YOUR
BLOOD IN THE CAR.
YOU HURT LOTS OF PEOPLE,
VINCE. YOU BASHED IN THEIR HEADS.
WELL, THEY NEVER PROVED THAT, OR I
WOULDN'T BE IN WITNESS PROTECTION.
YEAH. WE KNOW HOW IT WORKS.
YOU RAT OUT YOUR CREW, EVERYBODY
LOSES INTEREST IN A FEW OLD MURDERS.
MY MOTHER WAS HIT ON THE HEAD.
YEAH, I KNOW.
I WAS THERE.
THIRTY-TWO STITCHES.
- SHE FOUGHT BACK, HUH?
- RUTHIE FOUGHT BACK, ALL RIGHT.
BUT NOT AGAINST ME.
THEN AGAINST WHOM?
YOUR FATHER.
WHY DID HE ATTACK YOU?
THINK ABOUT IT A
SECOND. ALL RIGHT?
YOU AND MY... MY MOTHER?
ME AND RUTHIE HAD
RUN OFF TOGETHER.
MAX CAUGHT US PULLING INTO A
MOTEL OUTSIDE OF CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS.
WE WERE NUTS ABOUT
EACH OTHER, RUTHIE AND ME.
CRAZY IN LOVE.
LET'S JUST SKIP THAT PART. OKAY?
WELL, HE HIT RUTHIE FIRST.
- WITH WHAT?
- TIRE IRON.
HIT MY ARM, CAUGHT ME A
ROUNDHOUSE TO THE HEAD.
LIGHTS OUT, BABY.
I CAME TO, RUTHIE
AND MAX WERE GONE.
NEVER SAW NEITHER OF THEM AGAIN.
YOU ASK ME, MAX KILLED RUTHIE AND
BURIED HER SOMEWHERE AND VANISHED.
OUR PLAN, ONCE WE SET UP...
MOST LIKELY IN FLORIDA...
WAS TO BRING YOU DOWN.
YOUR FATHER IS A HARD MAN, JOY.
MY NAME IS BRENNAN.
I'M DOCTOR...
I'M DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN.
I WORK AT THE
JEFFERSONIAN INSTITUTION.
I'M A FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST.
I SPECIALIZE IN IDENTIF...
IN IDENTIFYING...
IN IDENTIFYING PEOPLE WHEN
NOBODY KNOWS WHO THEY ARE.
MY FATHER WAS A SCIENCE TEACHER.
MY MOTHER WAS A BOOKKEEPER.
MY BROTHER...
I HAVE A BROTHER.
I'M DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN.
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. HEY, I KNOW.
IT'S OKAY. I KNOW.
SHH. IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
- NO WAY DAD HITS MOM. NO WAY.
- IF HE CAUGHT THEM TOGETHER...
- NO WAY MOM CHEATS ON DAD.
- MAN LIKE McVICAR LIES THE WAY
YOU GUYS TAKE A DRINK OF WATER.
HE KILLED PEOPLE, AND THEN HE
SNITCHED TO SAVE HIS OWN ASS.
- YOU DON'T BELIEVE HIM?
- NO. I DON'T BELIEVE HIM.
GIVE ME ONE PIECE OF EVIDENCE
THAT DOESN'T BACK UP HIS STORY.
YOUR SCHOOL STICKER ON THE BACK OF
YOUR PARENTS' CAR... IT WAS SCRAPED OFF.
WHAT DOES THAT PROVE?
- THE ONLY REASON TO DO THAT... TO KEEP YOU GUYS HIDDEN, SAFE.
- FROM McVICAR.
McVICAR PERFORMED HITS FOR THE
CREW YOUR MOM AND DAD RAN OUT ON.
WHAT ELSE?
THERE'S A STORY THAT TRACKS FOR ME,
BUT WITHOUT EVIDENCE IT'S JUST A STORY.
TELL US.
YOUR PARENTS GO OUT CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
ONE DAY. THEY SPOT McVICAR, THE HIT MAN.
THEY LEAD HIM AWAY
FROM YOUR HOME.
SCRAPE OFF THE NAME OF THE SCHOOL
SO HE CAN'T TRACE IT BACK TO ME AND RUSS.
- HE TAKES OUT YOUR FATHER.
- AND MY MOTHER GETS AWAY
WITH A HEAD WOUND.
SHE LEAVES THE CAR A THOUSAND
MILES AWAY, FINDS FRIENDS.
BUT SHE CAN NEVER GO BACK TO SEE YOU GUYS
BECAUSE THE CREW IS STILL LOOKING FOR HER.
- IT'S JUST A STORY.
- FITS THE EVIDENCE.
THE WEAPONS THAT McVICAR HAD ON HIM,
THEY'RE A VIOLATION OF HIS AGREEMENT...
WITH THE WITNESS
PROTECTION PROGRAM.
I'M GONNA TAKE HIM INTO CUSTODY. I'M GONNA
GET A WARRANT. I'M GONNA SEARCH HIS FARM.
- SEARCH FOR WHAT?
- McVICAR LIKED TO
BASH IN PEOPLE'S HEADS.
MAYBE WE'LL GET LUCKY AND MATCH
THE WEAPON HE USED ON YOUR MOTHER.
- IT'S UNLIKELY.
- IN THAT CASE,
WE'LL STILL RUIN HIS DAY.
TEMPE, THAT THEORY EXPLAINS
WHY MOM NEVER CAME BACK FOR YOU...
DURING THAT YEAR AND
A HALF BEFORE SHE DIED.
WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE, RUSS?
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT LEFT ME.
YOU NEEDED SOMEONE
TO BLAME. YOU CHOSE ME.
I WAS 15 YEARS OLD!
I WAS 19! MY PARENTS WERE
GONE. MY SISTER HATED MY GUTS.
EVERYONE'S TELLING ME THAT
SHE'D BE BETTER OFF IN FOSTER CARE.
- YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK ME.
- I TRIED, TEMPERANCE. YOU WOULDN'T TALK TO ME.
YOU STILL WOULDN'T BE TALKING TO
ME IF MOM'S BONES HADN'T SHOWED UP.
AND I KEPT TRYING. EVERY YEAR.
EVERY YEAR ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.
YOU'RE THE ONE THAT GAVE UP!
YOU TURNED YOUR BACK ON ME AND
YOU MADE YOURSELF A NEW FAMILY.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
THE F.B.I. DELIVERED ALL THESE TOOLS
AND WEAPONS FROM THE PIG FARM GUY.
WE WENT THROUGH THEM TO SEE IF ANY OF THEM
MATCHED THE MARK ON YOUR MOTHER'S SKULL.
WE GOT 20 HAMMERS,
A DOZEN HATCHETS.
MAN LOVES HIS BLUNT INSTRUMENTS.
SEVEN TIRE IRONS. NONE OF THEM MATCH
THE WOUND, EVEN ALLOWING FOR SHRINKAGE.
IT WAS 15 YEARS AGO.
EVEN IF McVICAR KILLED MY MOTHER, WHAT ARE
THE CHANCES HE HUNG ON TO THE EXACT WEAPON?
IT'S ALWAYS LIKE
THIS WITH McVICAR.
SOME MOOK IS FOUND WITH
HIS FOREHEAD BASHED IN.
THE F.B.I. GOES IN THE BASEMENT, COLLECTS
ABOUT 40 HAMMERS, AND NOTHING MATCHES.
- ALWAYS THE FOREHEAD?
- THAT'S HIS SIGNATURE KILL,
YEAH.
NOT THAT ANYONE
COULD EVER PROVE IT.
YOU SAID GUYS LIKE McVICAR GET
COMFORTABLE WITH A WAY OF KILLING.
- YEAH.
- WHERE DID McVICAR GROW UP?
HE GREW UP A FARM
KID IN IOWA. WHY?
HOW DO YOU SLAUGHTER A PIG?
- WHY IS HE HERE?
- HE GETS NERVOUS,
WE KNOW WE'RE GETTING CLOSE.
FOUND THIS IN THE BARN.
THIS IS A SPRING-LOADED
CAPTIVE BOLT STUNNER.
THE ANIMAL'S RESTRAINED.
IT'S PRESSED TO THE FOREHEAD.
HMM.
OH.
WHAT KIND OF PERSON COULD
USE THIS ON A HUMAN BEING?
WHAT KIND OF PERSON
COULD USE THIS ON A PIG?
IT'S THE PERFECT DODGE. BLOOD,
FLESH... IT CAN ALL BE EXPLAINED.
I THINK I JUST
BECAME A VEGETARIAN.
- SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- YEAH.
SAME SHAPE AS A TIRE IRON, BUT
SMALLER. THIS COULD BE A MATCH.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
ANYTHING, WE SHOULD TALK.
I'D CALL THAT NERVOUS,
WOULDN'T YOU?
THERE'S NO WAY TO PROVE THAT'S THE EXACT
WEAPON THAT KILLED YOUR MOTHER OR ANYONE ELSE.
YOU'D BE SURPRISED
WHAT SHE CAN PROVE.
- I NEED TO
SPEAK TO YOU ALONE.
- FORGET IT.
BOOTH, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'S ALL RIGHT. NO. NO.
YOU GOT TWO WAYS
TO LOOK AT THIS.
ONE IS, YOU SCORE
A PRIVATE CHAT.
THE SECOND ONE IS, YOU ATTACK HER,
I'LL DRILL YOU THROUGH THE FOREHEAD.
HOW COULD I POSSIBLY ATTACK HER?
I'LL DECIDE WHAT IS AND ISN'T
AN ATTACK... LIKE, SAY, A HICCUP.
BOOTH, COME ON.
YOU KILLED MY MOTHER.
GONNA BE HARD TO
CONVINCE A JURY.
I'M PRETTY PERSUASIVE.
I'LL PUT YOU AWAY.
HERE'S THE THING, JOY.
TWO PEOPLE KNOW WHAT
REALLY HAPPENED THAT NIGHT.
ME AND YOUR FATHER.
YOU KILLED HIM BEFORE
YOU ATTACKED MY MOTHER.
THEN HOW DID I GET
THIS SCAR ON MY HEAD?
YOU GOT A CHOICE, JOY.
YOU DROP THE BOLT STUNNER DOWN THE
WELL, AND YOU'LL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU PUT ME IN FRONT OF A JURY,
NOT ONLY WILL YOU
FAIL TO CONVICT,
BUT YOU'LL NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH.
YOU CAN'T LIVE WITH THAT, JOY.
YOU CAN'T LIVE NOT KNOWING.
I FOUND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO MY MOTHER.
I WILL FIND OUT WHAT
HAPPENED TO MY FATHER TOO.
- WE'RE DONE.
- YOU WILL NEVER KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FATHER.
WHY ARE YOU LETTING ME DRIVE?
IT'S YOUR REWARD. FOR WHAT?
FOR TOTALLY
PISSING OFF A HIT MAN.
CAN I READ YOUR BOOK?
- AFTER IT'S COME OUT.
- NOT BEFORE?
- NO.
- I LET YOU DRIVE.
- JUST LET IT GO.
- WHERE WE GOING?
I'D LIKE TO MAKE UP
FOR A LITTLE LOST TIME.
♪♪
I'M GONNA GO GET A
FUNNEL CAKE. OKAY?
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
THANKS, TEMPE.
RUSS.
YOU WERE RIGHT.
YOU WERE ONLY 19.
BUT AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANT.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE NEED TO
EXPLAIN THINGS TO ME, I GUESS.
THEN YOU HAVE TO
LET THEM TALK TO YOU.
IF YOU CAN MAYBE COME BACK
AND STAY A COUPLE DAYS LONGER?
PLEASE?
AT MY PLACE, I MEAN.
MARCO.
POLO.
ANYBODY THIRSTY?
IS IT TOO EARLY FOR A
BEER? AH, I GOTTA GO.
I'M PICKING UP PARKER
FOR THE WEEKEND.
YEAH, I'LL TAKE ONE.
YOU HAVE A BOY? YEAH.
THE WOMAN I'M SEEING,
SHE'S GOT TWO DAUGHTERS.
NICE.
GIRLS ARE NICE.
- TO US.
- WHOEVER THE HELL WE ARE.
TO WHAT WE'RE BECOMING.
NEW MESSAGE RECORDED TODAY.
3:00 P.M.
TEMPERANCE, YOU
HAVE TO STOP LOOKING.
Y-YOU HAVE TO STOP
LOOKING FOR ME RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS BIGGER AND WORSE THAN
YOU KNOW. PLEASE STOP NOW.
WHO'S THAT?
- STOP.
- THAT WAS MY FATHER.
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
