Bones (2005–2017): Season 1, Episode 3 - A Boy in a Tree - full transcript
Bones and Booth investigate the body of a teenager found hanging in a tree on the grounds of an exclusive private school.
BONES, WHERE'S THE KID?
WHO'S THAT WITH ZACK?
NAOMI FROM PALEONTOLOGY.
NAOMI AND ZACK SLEPT
TOGETHER ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
SINCE THEN, SHE HASN'T
RETURNED A SINGLE CALL.
OH.
YOU WORKING ON
ANYTHING INTERESTING?
ME? YEAH, YEAH.
A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL
OF AN ETRUSCAN BURIAL CRYPT.
MM-HMM. YEAH. YOU?
YEAH. OH, GOD, YEAH. VERY
EXCITING. VERY EXCITING.
SOME, UH, SILT
PROFILES. MMM. MMM.
GOD! ETRUSCAN BURIAL
CRYPTS ARE SO BORING.
OH, MAN, I KNOW. I
MEAN, SILT PROFILES?
YOU KNOW WHAT WE NEED?
A MURDER INVESTIGATION.
BRENNAN AND BOOTH ARE OUT
FRONT RIGHT NOW WAITING FOR ZACK.
WHAT, THERE'S A CASE?
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?
ZACK, YOU GOTTA GO! OH, SHE REALLY
BOLTED. DOESN'T LOOK GOOD FOR ZACK.
COME ON, ZACK. SHAKE
IT OFF, HUH? BE A MAN.
YOU OKAY, HONEY?
SHE SAID, "TAKE A HINT."
BUT WHEN I ASKED,
"WHAT HINT?" NAOMI SAID...
IF SHE TOLD ME WHAT HINT, IT WOULDN'T BE
A HINT ANYMORE... IT WOULD BE A STATEMENT.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD? THROWING
YOURSELF INTO YOUR WORK. HUH?
YOU REALLY DO HATE SLIME
PROFILES. HAVE A LITTLE COMPASSION.
I UNDERSTOOD THE INDIVIDUAL WORDS,
BUT I DO NOT COMPREHEND HER MEANING.
DID YOU TELL NAOMI THAT? YES.
SHE SAID ASK YOUR
FRIENDS, IF I HAVE ANY.
YOU KNOW, HODGINS IS RIGHT.
LET'S NOT KEEP BOOTH WAITING.
SOMEBODY IS
DECOMPOSING AS WE SPEAK.
GET OUT THERE AND BRING
US HOME A CASE, BUDDY.
WE GOT A DEAD BODY AT A
PREP SCHOOL OUT IN THE STICKS.
- GOOD MORNING TO YOU TOO.
- YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL
WITH WOMEN, RIGHT?
I MEAN, THEY LIKE YOU. LOOK, IT'S
A VERY PRESTIGIOUS PREP SCHOOL.
THERE'S A LOT OF RICH KIDS. I THOUGHT IT
WAS GOOD TO START WITH "GOOD MORNING."
IF A WOMAN SAID TO YOU, "TAKE
A HINT," WHAT WOULD IT MEAN?
CAN WE JUST
CONCENTRATE ON THE JOB?
THANK YOU.
NOW, I KNOW THE SHERIFF
OUT THERE. SHE'S MOSTLY OKAY.
BUT THE SCHOOL'S GOT A
LOT OF PULL IN THE COUNTY,
AND SHE'S PROBABLY JUST TRYING TO
SCRAPE THE WHOLE CASE OFF ON US.
LOOK, WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS IT'S NOT JUST
A CRIME SCENE, BUT IT'S A POLITICAL SITUATION.
SO WHEN WE GET OUT THERE, YOU
FOLLOW MY LEAD AND YOU PAY ATTENTION.
YOU'D CALL AFTER EVERY SEXUAL ENCOUNTER,
RIGHT? BECAUSE THAT'S THE GOOD THING TO DO.
LOOK, THIS IS A WORK MODE. THIS IS A
WORK ZONE. WE DO NOT TALK SEX AT WORK.
FIRST, YOU TELL ME
I'M TOO TASK ORIENTED.
THEN, WHEN I SAY "GOOD MORNING," YOU
SAY THAT I SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON THE JOB.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK. WE GOT
ABOUT A 45-MINUTE DRIVE, HMM?
WHAT DO YOU SAY WE
PASS IT IN QUIET MEDITATION?
CAN I TALK NOW?
NO. THAT'S NOT FAIR.
- WE'RE HERE NOW.
- MY CAR, MY RULES. PERIOD.
F.B.I. SPECIAL AGENT SEELEY BOOTH
AND A FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST.
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN FROM THE JEFFERSONIAN
INSTITUTE. PLUS ONE CRACK ASSISTANT.
I'LL NEED TO SEE
SOME I.D., PLEASE.
THIS REMINDS ME OF
WHERE I WENT TO SCHOOL.
YOU DON'T GET MUCH FARTHER FROM
THE REAL WORLD, THAT'S FOR SURE.
WHOSE KIDS GO TO SCHOOL HERE IS
ACTUALLY CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.
AGENT BOOTH, DR. BRENNAN, I'LL LEAD
YOU TO MR. SANDERS, OUR HEAD OF SECURITY.
JUST AIM US IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION. WE'LL FIND IT.
ALL OUTSIDERS ARE
TO BE ESCORTED, SIR.
HUH.
"OMNIA MEA MECUM PORTO."
WHAT'S THAT MEAN, HUH?
"REGULAR PEOPLE STAY OUT"?
"I CARRY WITH ME ALL MY THINGS."
- HEY, SEELEY. HOW'S IT GOING?
- KAREN.
CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING
ELECTED FULL SHERIFF. VERY IMPRESSIVE.
AGENT BOOTH, I'M LEO SANDERS,
HEAD OF SECURITY AT HANOVER PREP.
- THIS IS HEADMASTER
PETER RONSON.
- WHERE ARE THE HUMAN REMAINS?
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN AND
HER ASSISTANT, JACK, UH, SOMETHING.
- ZACK ADDY.
- COULD YOU SHOW ME
TO THE REMAINS?
EVEN THOUGH THE SCHOOL WAS MOSTLY
EMPTY DURING THE BREAK, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE...
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER ME,
BUT WE WORKED TOGETHER ON A CASE.
BUNCH OF BONES FOUND IN A
CULVERT ABOUT A YEAR AGO?
I REMEMBER THE
BONES AND THE CULVERT.
YOU KNOW, BONES, BEING
NICE TO THE LOCALS...
AND REMEMBERING THEIR NAMES
AND SUCH, IT WOULDN'T HURT.
OUR TWO-WEEK TERM
BREAK ENDS TOMORROW.
I'D LIKE TO GET THIS TIDIED UP SO THE
STUDENTS NEVER KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED YET. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
DID ANYONE TOUCH THE BODY?
I DOUBT IT. IT'S PRETTY GRIZZLY.
NOT BIG ON SMALL TALK, IS SHE?
DR. BRENNAN'S VERY FOCUSED.
WHERE ARE THE REMAINS?
BONES?
IS THAT A STUDENT? UM,
IT'S A SECURE CAMPUS.
GOTTA BE STUDENT,
STAFF OR FACULTY.
VIDEO FIRST. I DON'T WANT YOUR
FLASH DISTURBING THE CROWS.
YEAH, THAT'D BE A SHAME... DISTURB
THE HUMAN FLESH-EATING BIRDS.
YOU WANNA INCREASE THE
PERIMETER HERE? GENTLEMEN,
GIVE MY FORENSIC
ANTHROPOLOGIST SOME ROOM.
YOUR FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST?
AGENT BOOTH, IF YOU DECIDE THIS IS A
SUICIDE, IT BECOMES MY PROBLEM, CORRECT?
ACTUALLY, THE PERSON WHO
DECIDES IF THIS IS A SUICIDE IS ME.
LET'S GIVE THE BONE
LADY SOME ROOM.
YOU KNOW, I'M GLAD WE HAD THAT LITTLE
CHAT ABOUT BEING NICE TO THE LOCALS.
I DON'T LIKE SHERIFFS.
THEY'RE ELECTED INTO OFFICE,
WHICH MEANS THEIR GOAL IS BEING
REELECTED, NOT FINDING THE TRUTH.
- I GOT VIDEO, DR. BRENNAN.
- GO TO STILLS.
CAN WE JUST GET HIM
DOWN FROM THERE?
- THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO DO
BEFORE WE GET TO THAT.
- YOU WANNA STEP BACK, PLEASE?
I'M THE HEADMASTER HERE. AND
THIS IS A CRIME SCENE. STEP BACK.
- OH!
- I'M GONNA NEED
AN EVIDENCE BAG.
HEADS UP.
I'M GONNA NEED A BIGGER BAG.
I MAKE THIS A MALE,
APPROXIMATELY 5'6", 130 POUNDS.
FROM THE LOOKS OF HIS STERNUM AND SKULL,
I'D SAY MID-ADOLESCENT... SAY, 14 TO 17.
HIGH CHEEKBONES.
YOU THINK MAYBE ASIAN?
I'M GETTIN' MORE
OF A HISPANIC VIBE.
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT
CREMATOGASTER ANT COLONY IN THE TREE...
THAT FED ON THE BODY, AS
WELL AS TABANID MAGGOTS.
I'LL GIVE YOU A TIME OF DEATH ESTIMATE
WHEN I FIGURE OUT WHO ATE WHAT WHEN.
CHECK FOR INSECT PUPA AND LARVA.
SEE WHAT KIND OF MEDICATIONS AND/OR
DRUGS MIGHT'VE BEEN IN HIS SYSTEM.
HE WAS WEARING THIS. HMM.
CATHOLIC BOY.
ONE-BY-TWO FORCEPS.
- WHAT IS THAT?
- COCHLEAR IMPLANT.
LOOKS LIKE THE BIRDS
WERE TRYING TO GET IT.
THAT WOULD SET A BOY APART
FROM THE OTHERS... BEING DEAF.
GET A SERIAL NUMBER.
I'LL GET X-RAYS AND 3-D
IMAGING OF THE ENTIRE SKELETON.
I DIDN'T TALK TO ANYBODY IN
HIGH SCHOOL. I DIDN'T KILL MYSELF.
THAT WASN'T A HIGH SCHOOL. IT WAS
AN EXPERIMENTAL EUGENICS PROGRAM.
HOW HARD CAN
IT BE TO FIND OUT...
WHICH ONE OF YOUR
STUDENTS IS MISSING?
WE CAN'T JUST CALL
PARENTS AND SAY,
"WE FOUND A ROTTING BODY. DO
YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILD IS?"
WE CAN DO A FULL
ROLL CALL TOMORROW.
ALL OF OUR HIGHER-RISK
STUDENTS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR.
HIGHER-RISK? THE ONES
WITH PERSONAL BODYGUARDS.
WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS,
VIS-À-VIS PUBLICITY, MEDIA?
NOT MY CONCERN.
THERE ARE STUDENTS HERE WE REALLY
DON'T WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW ABOUT.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY A SUICIDE.
IT'S NOT AS THOUGH...
WE'RE ASKING YOU TO FORGO THE
GLORY OF CATCHING A MURDERER.
EXCUSE ME. SORRY. BOOTH.
WE'LL HAVE THE IDENTITY OF THE
BOY IN THE TREE WITHIN THE HOUR.
THAT WAS FAST. DO YOU KNOW
WHAT A COCHLEAR IMPLANT IS?
- HEARING AID?
- NOT... NOT EXACTLY.
IT'S A MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED PIECE OF
EQUIPMENT WHICH WAS SURGICALLY FITTED...
- CAN YOU IDENTIFY HIM
THROUGH THE SERIAL NUMBER?
- THAT'S CORRECT.
- BUT THE INTERESTING THING
IS THAT...
- YOU CAN FILL ME IN LATER.
WAIT... NO... BUT THE
INTERESTING THING IS THAT HIS...
THAT'S CORRECT. WHAT?
THAT IS INTERESTING.
- ARE YOU DRUNK OR SOMETHING?
- WE'LL CATCH UP LATER AND, UH...
WAIT! WAIT! I'M NOT COMPLETELY
CERTAIN THE BOY'S DEATH IS A SUICIDE.
WE'LL GRAB SOME CHINESE FOOD, AND YOU CAN
FILL ME IN LATER ON ALL THE BORING DETAILS.
SORRY.
DEATH IS VERY UPSETTING TO A
COMMUNITY AS TIGHT AS OURS.
WELL, YOU'RE FAMOUS FOR
KEEPING YOUR STUDENTS SAFE.
BUT YOU CAN'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
IF A TROUBLED STUDENT KILLS HIMSELF.
WE ALL AGREE THAT SUICIDE IS
THE ONLY FEASIBLE CONCLUSION.
- WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
- MMM, SURE AS HELL DO.
I'LL NEED A COMPLETE ENROLLMENT LIST
INCLUDING TEACHERS, STAFF, STUDENTS.
THAT'S EXTREMELY
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
WELL, YOU KNOW, LUCKILY
I'M GOOD AT KEEPING SECRETS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
IT'S NOT A SUICIDE?
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
WE CAN'T HAVE JUST ANYONE
STEP INTO THE FORENSICS AREA...
AND CONTAMINATE ALL
THE BORING DETAILS.
"BORING DETAILS"...
DO NOT PUSH ME, KID.
"BORING DETAILS" WAS MY SIGNAL FOR YOU
TO STOP TALKING, OKAY? I WANT MY OWN CARD.
I WANT MY OWN GUN. LAST TIME
YOU HAD A GUN, YOU SHOT SOMEONE.
- HE WAS A BAD GUY.
- OKAY, LOOK, WHO'S OUR VICTIM?
ALL THE BORING
DETAILS? LET IT GO, BONES.
MOVE ON. DON'T CALL ME "BONES."
WE TRACED THE COCHLEAR IMPLANT TO
DR. MAURICE LEDBETTER AT CEDARS-SINAI,
WHO PLACED IT IN A BOY
NAMED NESTOR OLIVOS.
MR. OLIVOS. STUDENT VISA, SON
OF A VENEZUELAN AMBASSADOR.
- WHAT ELSE?
- YOU WANT ALL
THE BORING DETAILS?
LET IT GO, BONES.
DON'T CALL ME "BONES"!
THE BOY'S HYOID BONE IS BROKEN.
STRANGULATION DEATH,
THE HYOID'S ALWAYS BROKEN.
- IN ADULTS. THIS WAS A BOY.
- HIS HYOID IS FLEXIBLE,
UNBREAKABLE.
MAYBE THE KID'S GOT SOME KIND OF
VENEZUELAN BRITTLE BONE SYNDROME.
I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP. SO
YOU'RE SAYING HE WAS MURDERED?
NO. I'M SAYING I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE BOY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ALL THE FACTS.
♪♪
HOW HARD CAN IT BE? A KID HANGING
FROM A TREE... OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A SUICIDE.
SIR, HAS HANOVER PREP BEEN
STIRRING THE PUDDING ON THIS?
OF COURSE THEY'RE
STIRRING THE PUDDING.
EVERY MOVER AND SHAKER IN THIS TOWN
IS CONNECTED TO THAT DAMN SCHOOL.
APPARENTLY, THE VERY FUTURE
OF THIS COUNTRY'S AT STAKE.
WELL, I'D LIKE TO DECLARE IT A
MURDER JUST TO SHAKE THOSE LITTLE...
I'M NOT GONNA DECLARE IT A MURDER
JUST SO YOU CAN SHAKE THINGS UP.
THE EVIDENCE IS
AMBIGUOUS AT BEST.
WELL, UN-AMBIGUIZE IT,
PLEASE, DR. GOODMAN.
LOOK, YOU'RE VERY EXPERIENCED WITHIN
YOUR FIELD OF BONES AND SUCH, RIGHT?
DOESN'T YOUR GUT SAY SUICIDE? I
DON'T ACTUALLY USE MY GUT FOR THAT, SIR.
- SHE REALLY, REALLY DOESN'T.
- LIKE ALL OF US
AT THE JEFFERSONIAN,
DR. BRENNAN PREFERS
SCIENCE TO THE DIGESTIVE TRACT.
- WHAT ABOUT YOUR GUT?
- MY GUT SAYS IT STINKS.
HE SMELLS WITH HIS GUT. WHAT DOES HE USE HIS
NOSE FOR? ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
IN ORDER FOR AN INVESTIGATION TO OCCUR, YOU,
DR. BRENNAN, HAVE TO DECLARE IT A MURDER.
WITHOUT AN INVESTIGATION, WE
CAN'T FIND OUT IF IT'S A MURDER.
BUT THERE'LL BE NO INVESTIGATION UNLESS
DR. BRENNAN DECLARES IT TO BE A MURDER.
SHALL I SEND FOR A PHILOSOPHER?
- THEY'RE SAYING IT'S MY CALL.
- YOU SEE? IT'S HOW - YOU TALK TO THESE PEOPLE.
MY OFFICIAL FINDING IS
THAT NESTOR OLIVOS...
IS A VICTIM OF A HOMICIDE.
♪♪
THANK YOU.
FOR WHAT? YOU KNOW, FOR
GOING WITH MY INSTINCTS IN THERE.
I DID NOT BACK UP YOUR
INSTINCTS. I BOUGHT TIME...
TO FIND THE FACTS I NEED TO TELL
ME WHAT HAPPENED TO NESTOR OLIVOS.
WHAT'S WITH YOU AND
THE PRIVATE SCHOOL?
I THOUGHT WE UNDERSTOOD EACH
OTHER. THAT'S BAD? I UNDERSTAND...
I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE WHO THINK
THEY'RE BETTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE.
SOME PEOPLE ARE BETTER
THAN OTHER PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU JUST SAID
RIGHT THERE, THAT IS SO UN-AMERICAN.
ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. EITHER
YOU BELIEVE THAT, OR YOU DON'T.
SOME PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN OTHERS.
THERE'S NO USE BEING OFFENDED BY THE FACT.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA
TELL NESTOR'S PARENTS?
WE TELL THEM THAT THEIR SON WAS
FOUND DEAD. WE'RE LOOKING INTO IT.
"SORRY FOR YOUR
LOSS." AND WE ARE.
WHAT?
SORRY FOR THEIR LOSS. IT'S SAD.
TRY TO REMEMBER THAT.
I'M NOT A SOCIOPATH.
YOU'RE BAD WITH PEOPLE. NO
USE BEING OFFENDED BY THE FACT.
HANGING FROM A
TREE AT THE SCHOOL?
I'M AFRAID SO,
AMBASSADOR OLIVOS.
WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH FULL DETAILS WHEN
DR. BRENNAN FINISHES HER INVESTIGATION.
WILL YOU NEED US TO IDENTIFY NESTOR'S
REMAINS? THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU HEARD FROM NESTOR?
A FEW DAYS AFTER
HIS HOLIDAY BEGAN.
- HE WENT WITH A FRIEND
TO NOVA SCOTIA.
- WE RECEIVED AN E-MAIL.
CAN WE HAVE A COPY? IT'LL HELP US
DETERMINE EXACTLY WHEN THE VICTIM DIED.
YOUR SON... WE'RE VERY
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
THERE WAS NOTHING TO SUGGEST IN
THE E-MAIL THAT NESTOR WAS UNHAPPY.
CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH TO...
WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE HIM HOME.
WE MUST PETITION THE CHURCH TO
BURY HIM IN CONSECRATED GROUND.
NESTOR WAS AN ALTAR BOY.
THEY WILL BURY HIM PROPERLY.
- WHEN WILL YOU
RELEASE HIM TO US?
- THAT'S UP TO DR. BRENNAN.
WHAT DID NAOMI MEAN
WHEN SHE SAID, "TAKE A HINT"?
- OOH.
- WHAT DID I DO WRONG?
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU DID
WRONG. IT'S WHAT YOU DIDN'T DO.
WHERE DO YOU LEARN THIS STUFF?
WELL, SOME THINGS
YOU LEARN BY DOING.
RIDING A BIKE, DRIVING A
CAR, PLEASING A WOMAN.
I CAN'T RIDE A BIKE OR DRIVE A CAR.
OR APPARENTLY PLEASE A WOMAN.
I NEED SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS,
A LIST OF TECHNIQUES TO
IMPLEMENT, OR A SEQUENCE OF MOVES.
I'M NOT REALLY THE GUY TO
TALK TO ABOUT THAT. WHY NOT?
YOU'VE SLEPT WITH,
LIKE, 10,000 WOMEN.
BECAUSE OUR RELATIONSHIP IS ALL ABOUT
WHAT'S UP HERE. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO...
IS TALK TO SOMEONE
MORE... EARTHY.
AS A SCHOOL PSYCHIATRIST, I'M
BOUND BY PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY.
IN THE ABSENCE OF A WARRANT
OR PERMISSION FROM HIS PARENTS,
I CAN'T DIVULGE THE SPECIFICS OF
MY MEETINGS WITH NESTOR OLIVOS.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT HE WAS
AT EXTREME RISK OF SUICIDE.
THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS THAT
NESTOR WAS TAKING ANTIDEPRESSANTS.
I COULD ONLY MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PARENTS.
YOU THINK THIS BOY WAS DEPRESSED
ENOUGH TO HANG HIMSELF FROM A TREE?
HE WAS ALIENATED BY
CULTURE, BY LANGUAGE,
BY HIS HANDICAP, BY HIS
OWN SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS.
- YES.
- THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN,
DR. PETTY.
AS WE SUSPECTED, SUICIDE.
A DEPRESSED AND LONELY BOY
HANGS HIMSELF OVER THE HOLIDAY.
SO HOW DOES THE SON OF AN AMBASSADOR GO
MISSING FOR TWO WEEKS AND NOBODY NOTICES?
AS FAR AS THE SCHOOL WAS CONCERNED,
NESTOR WAS VACATIONING WITH HIS ROOMMATE.
THE SCHOOL REQUESTED
AND RECEIVED A WAIVER...
FROM AMBASSADOR OLIVOS.
I WAS IN VENEZUELA LAST YEAR.
IT'S VERY UNSTABLE POLITICALLY.
IT'S TRUE THE FAMILY RECEIVED
THREATS. WE WERE COGNIZANT OF THAT.
BUT YOU AREN'T SERIOUSLY
SUGGESTING THAT...
SOME KIND OF VENEZUELAN HIT SQUAD
ASSASSINATED A STUDENT AT HANOVER PREP?
LIKE THE DOCTOR SAID,
IT'S A SIMPLE CASE...
OF A DEPRESSED BOY ENDING
HIS LIFE, NOT A TOM CLANCY NOVEL.
YEAH. WE'LL START WITH NESTOR'S
ROOMMATE TOMORROW MORNING.
IT'S YOUR INVESTIGATION.
♪♪
HEY. I'LL SAY THIS.
SHE'S TALL. DR. TEMPERANCE
BRENNAN, MEET SID, THE OWNER.
HEY. THE BONE LADY.
THE SIGN SAYS "WONG FOO'S."
FAMILY NAME CHANGE AT ELLIS
ISLAND. I'LL GET YOUR MEAL.
- BUT WE DIDN'T ORDER.
- SID KNOWS WHAT PEOPLE WANT
BETTER THAN THEY DO.
NESTOR'S BONES ARE COMPLETELY
NORMAL. NOT BRITTLE IN ANY WAY.
THIS IS KIND OF MY LITTLE
GETAWAY PLACE, YOU KNOW?
THE GROOVES THE ROPE LEFT IN THE BRANCH WHERE
NESTOR WAS HANGING ARE TOO DEEP FOR HIS WEIGHT.
PLEASE, EVERYONE,
COME ON. SIT DOWN.
EGGS, LARVA, WASTE ALL
INDICATE THAT THE INSECTS...
WHICH FED ON THE BODY ARE INDIGENOUS
TO THE TREE IN WHICH HE WAS FOUND.
IT MEANS HE DIED THERE
APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 14 DAYS AGO.
I'LL HAVE THE SEVEN-ORGAN SOUP. YOU
DON'T ORDER. THE GUY JUST BRINGS IT.
HE DIDN'T VOID. USUALLY SOMEBODY
HANGS THEMSELVES, THE FLOODGATES OPEN.
BODILY FLUIDS EVERYWHERE.
THERE'S PLENTY OF EFFLUENT IN HIS CLOTHES,
BUT THEY'RE ALL POST-DECOMPOSITION.
AS THE BODY SWELLS, IT BURSTS FROM INTERNAL
GASES. HOW DOES THE GUY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT?
- THE GUY HAS A KNACK.
- THE GUY'S NAME IS SID.
IT WAS BIRDS WHO ATE HIS EYES, EARS,
AND WORKED THEIR WAY INTO THE SKULL.
BIRDS PECKING AT THE SOFT TISSUE OF
THE THROAT... COULD THAT CRACK THE HYOID?
NO. IT'S A STRESS FRACTURE CAUSED BY THE
ROPE AGAINST HIS THROAT, NOT POSTMORTEM.
YOU PUT A SENSITIVE ADOLESCENT
IN A HIGH-PRESSURE PREP SCHOOL,
ADD SOCIAL ALIENATION,
CULTURAL DIFFERENCES,
PRESSURE FROM HIGH-ACHIEVING
PARENTS, IT COULD BE SUICIDE.
IT'S NOT A SUICIDE.
BECAUSE BOOTH THINKS THAT PREP
SCHOOLS TURN OUT ENTITLED CRIMINALS.
WE ALL WENT TO PRIVATE
SCHOOL. NONE OF US ARE CRIMINALS.
IN FACT, WE FIGHT CRIMINALS.
WE'RE CRIME FIGHTERS.
NO. YOU'RE NOT... YOU'RE... I'M
JUST SAYING, IT'S NOT A SUICIDE.
I'M A BIG BELIEVER IN INSTINCT.
FINALLY, A SQUINT
WITH AN OPEN MIND.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW
OPEN-MINDED I CAN BE.
WHAT'S WITH THESE PICTURES?
THIS IS A RESTAURANT.
PEOPLE COME HERE TO EAT. WHAT'S
THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?
BOOTH, WHAT THE HELL
DID YOU BRING IN MY PLACE?
- I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
- THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.
THIS IS AMAZING. THE GUY
DEFINITELY HAS A KNACK.
OOH! SO YOU DO TAKE ORDERS.
OF COURSE WE DO. BUT IT'S ALWAYS
BETTER WHEN YOU LEAVE IT TO ME.
BOOTH? ALL RIGHT.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE
BOY DIED 10 TO 14 DAYS AGO?
HEY, BUGS BUZZ,
BUT THEY DO NOT LIE.
HODGINS IS VERY GOOD AT USING
INSECTS TO ASCERTAIN THE TIME OF DEATH.
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN AN E-MAIL THAT WAS
SENT SEVEN DAYS AGO FROM NOVA SCOTIA?
HMM? SEE? LOOK AT THAT.
IT STINKS. GO AHEAD, SMELL IT.
YOU KNOW YOU WANNA
SMELL IT. IT STINKS.
DON'T-DON'T SMELL THAT.
NO, NO, YOU GOTTA TASTE IT.
I CAN SMELL IT FROM
HERE. ANGELA, IT'S SO GOOD.
MMM! THAT'S REALLY GROSS.
YOU AND NESTOR WERE ROOMMATES
FOR THREE MONTHS. CORRECT?
YES, SIR. AND YOU INVITED HIM
TO SPEND THE VACATION WITH YOU?
WE HAVE A SUMMER HOME ON
CAPE BRETON. PLENTY OF ROOM.
NESTOR DECIDED TO GO
BACK HOME TO VENEZUELA.
WHAT DID THE OTHER
KIDS SAY ABOUT NESTOR?
NESTOR WAS DIFFERENT. HE USED
TO BE DEAF, SO HE KINDA TALKED LIKE...
- SOME KIDS CALLED HIM "RETARD."
- TUCKER,
PLEASE DON'T SAY "RETARD."
I NEVER CALLED HIM THAT. HE WENT TO CHURCH
EVERY SUNDAY EVEN THOUGH NOBODY MADE HIM GO.
PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD.
DID NESTOR HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?
HE SAID THERE WAS A GIRL HE
LIKED, BUT HE NEVER TOLD ME WHO.
- YOU KNOW, TUCKER, YOU'RE
LYING TO A FEDERAL AGENT.
- CAREFUL, AGENT BOOTH.
AN E-MAIL WAS SENT TO NESTOR'S PARENTS FROM NOVA
SCOTIA SAYING WHAT A GREAT TIME HE WAS HAVING.
THE ONLY THING IS THAT
NESTOR WAS ALREADY DEAD.
- WAS IT YOU, TUCKER?
- I'D PREFER HE DIDN'T ANSWER.
NO, DAWN. IF IT WAS
TUCKER, HE HAS TO ADMIT IT.
YOU KNOW THE DODGE. YOU BACKED
HIM UP SO HE COULD BE WITH A GIRL.
TUCKER! I KNOW! I'M
SORRY. BUT HE BEGGED ME.
WHAT GIRL?
I TOLD YOU, I DON'T KNOW! I
THOUGHT NESTOR MADE HER UP.
I SENT AN E-MAIL. THAT'S ALL.
DR. BRENNAN, CAN YOU SPARE A MOMENT
FOR THE VENEZUELAN AMBASSADOR?
THANK YOU.
IS THERE SOMETHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU?
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE VERY
GOOD AT YOUR JOB, DR. BRENNAN.
BUT I THINK THAT YOU ARE
NOT A MOTHER, CORRECT?
NO, I'M NOT A MOTHER.
PLEASE WATCH THIS.
ALL A MOTHER WANTS
TO KNOW IS THAT...
SHE HAS RAISED HER CHILD WELL,
AND HE WILL GROW
UP TO BE A GOOD MAN.
I WILL NEVER SEE THIS.
I WILL NEVER KNOW.
THE DAY NESTOR
RECEIVED HIS IMPLANT.
NESTOR.
- THE FIRST DAY HE COULD HEAR.
- AND THE FIRST THING
HE HEARD WAS MY VOICE.
HIS MOTHER'S VOICE. I
TOLD HIM I LOVED HIM.
THE CHILD WHO HAS LIVED THROUGH THIS
MIRACLE WOULD NEVER TAKE HIS OWN LIFE.
YOU'RE A SCIENTIST.
YOU NEED MORE THAN A
MOTHER'S REASSURANCE. FINE.
MY HUSBAND AND I
HAVE MANY ENEMIES.
THAT IS WHY I SENT
NESTOR TO HANOVER.
THEY PROMISED US
THAT HE WOULD BE SAFE.
WHAT IF THEY FAILED? THEY
WOULD NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT.
THEY WOULD DO EVERYTHING THEY
COULD TO BIAS YOU TOWARD SUICIDE.
I PROMISE YOU, I WILL
FIND OUT THE TRUTH.
THANK YOU.
SWAN DIVE, CANNONBALL,
CHERRY BOMB...
NO MATTER HOW HE JUMPS,
THE HYOID DOES NOT BREAK.
WHAT ABOUT ADDED WEIGHT?
WE FIGURE AN ADDED STRAIN
OF 90 KILOS TO SNAP THE HYOID.
90 KILOS IS JUST UNDER 200 POUNDS.
THE WEIGHT OF A MUSCULAR MAN.
OH, BOY. THE VENEZUELAN HIT SQUAD
FANTASY THING? FOR ONE THING, IT'S NUTS.
AND ANOTHER, THE GUY'D
HAVE TO BE ABOUT 20 FEET TALL.
I'M OUT OF ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS
TO EXPLAIN THIS HYOID BREAK.
I WANNA TAKE ANOTHER
LOOK AT NESTOR'S ROOM.
WHAT EXACTLY DO
YOU HOPE TO FIND?
STAY HERE. YEAH, RIGHT.
THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
- YOU ALL RIGHT?
- ARE YOU?
CHECK HIS I.D.
HIS NAME'S TOVAR COMARA. HE'S
SECURITY AT THE VENEZUELAN EMBASSY.
IF HE'S SECURITY, WHY'D HE RUN?
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS WHAT
SENOR COMARA WAS DOING IN NESTOR'S ROOM.
I ASKED SENOR COMARA TO GO TO
NESTOR'S ROOM TO PROVE A POINT...
THAT SUICIDE WAS NOT
THE ONLY POSSIBILITY.
PROVE THAT AN OUTSIDER
CAN GET TO YOUR SON?
THE SCHOOL INFORMED ME THAT NESTOR'S
DEATH WAS MOST CERTAINLY A SUICIDE,
THAT ANYTHING
ELSE WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
WE PROVED THEM CORRECT. I FAILED
TO ESCAPE WITHOUT BEING DETECTED.
THE SCHOOL LIED TO
YOU, AMBASSADOR.
DR. BRENNAN ALREADY DECLARED
YOUR SON'S DEATH A HOMICIDE.
I APOLOGIZE. I WAS MISINFORMED.
- I WON'T BE PRESSING
ANY CHARGES.
- THANK YOU.
PLEASE EXCUSE ME.
DO YOU THINK NESTOR
WAS KILLED BY OUTSIDERS?
NOT VENEZUELAN INSURGENTS.
THEY WOULD MAKE A
STATEMENT, NOT FAKE A SUICIDE.
THIS HANGING...
HMM.
SURE, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE SAYS, YOU
KNOW, "IT SMELLS" IN A SPANISH ACCENT,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU'RE,
LIKE, "HMM. INTERESTING."
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
TALKED TO NESTOR'S TEACHERS, THE
FEW STUDENTS THAT HE HUNG OUT WITH.
HE WAS A LONER. WELL, I
MEAN, HE WENT TO HIS CLASSES.
BUT, YOU KNOW, MAINLY, HE
JUST STAYED HERE IN HIS ROOM.
THAT'S IT. SO I FIGURED,
YOU KNOW, WE'D COME HERE,
AND YOU DO YOUR LITTLE
ANTHROPOLOGIST THING, HUH?
OKAY.
HE LIKED MUSIC.
HEAVY PERCUSSION,
LOW FREQUENCIES
FOR THE MOST PART.
IT'S THE STUFF HE PROBABLY
LIKED BEFORE THE IMPLANT.
HE COULD FEEL THE
VIBRATIONS IN HIS CHEST.
AFTER THE IMPLANT, HE STARTED
ENJOYING STUFF WITH MORE MELODY.
HE WAS GROWING.
HE ENJOYED IT.
ENJOYMENT IS THE
OPPOSITE OF SUICIDE.
YOU'VE DECIDED THIS ISN'T A SUICIDE, SO
YOU'RE COLLECTING EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT.
BY CLOSING YOUR MIND, YOU'RE
MISSING IMPORTANT INDICATORS.
YEAH? SO THEN WHY'D HE THROW THIS
AWAY? I MEAN, HEY, IT'S FLUTE MUSIC.
THAT'S REASON ENOUGH.
BUT WHERE'S THE CASE?
UM...
THESE AREN'T ORGANIZED. WELL, YOU
KNOW, GIRLS, THEY ORGANIZE ALPHABETICALLY.
GUYS ARE MORE ORGANIC, YOU
KNOW? GOOD STUFF UP TO THE LEFT,
CRAP...
BOTTOM RIGHT.
LOOK AT THAT. WHAT?
I MEAN, IF HE HATED
IT, WHY'D HE REBURN IT?
THIS ISN'T A CD. IT'S A DVD.
I SHOULD'VE KNOWN.
IT'S A 15-YEAR-OLD BOY.
IT'S JUST PORN. WAIT.
- THAT'S OUR HANGING VICTIM.
- THIS IS PRETTY KINKY STUFF.
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE AND WHEN IT WAS SHOT, WHAT
KIND OF CAMERA, ANYTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT HELP.
I'M GONNA NEED STILLS AND A
CLOSE-UP OF THE GIRL'S FACE.
OH! THANKS A LOT, BOOTH.
MY SEVEN-ORGAN SOUP
IS REPEATING ON ME.
WELL, YOU ORDERED IT.
YOU SHOULD'VE LEFT IT TO SID.
LET'S SEE WHAT THE SCHOOL
HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS.
THAT WAS NOT WILD AND KINKY SEX.
IT WAS VERY, VERY
BASIC BEGINNER STUFF.
JUST SO YOU KNOW. OH!
ANGELA, YOU GOT ANY BICARBONATE?
WE'VE SEEN THIS
KIND OF THING BEFORE.
KIDS RECORDING
THEMSELVES HAVING SEX?
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE MORE JADED THAN THEY USED
TO BE. SOMETIMES THEY SWAP THESE TAPES.
- I'M SURPRISED TO SEE NESTOR.
- BUT NOT SO SURPRISED
TO SEE THE GIRL?
- HOW IS THAT RELEVANT?
- YOU KNOW WHAT'S
A BETTER QUESTION?
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU
GET TO DECIDE WHAT'S RELEVANT?
YOU'RE BASICALLY A
PRINCIPAL OF A HIGH SCHOOL.
- WE NEED TO SEE ALL
THE SEX TAPES YOU CONFISCATED.
- ABSOLUTELY NOT.
WELL, I'LL JUST GET A WARRANT. AND
IN THE APPLICATION FOR A WARRANT,
I'LL INCLUDE YOUR ADMISSION THAT YOU ALLOW
YOUR STUDENTS TO SWAP HOMEMADE SEX TAPES.
THE HEADMASTER IS NOT REFUSING
TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE TAPES.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT"
SOUNDS LIKE A REFUSAL.
WHEN WE CONFISCATE THE TAPES, WE IMMEDIATELY
TURN THEM OVER TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
- SHERIFF ROACH KNEW ABOUT THIS?
- NO NEED TO ISSUE A WARRANT. WE'RE COOPERATING COMPLETELY.
WAS THE GIRL ALSO
A STUDENT HERE?
GIVEN YOUR HOSTILITY, IT'S TIME
WE BRING IN A LAWYER TO ADVISE US.
OR YOU TAKE MY ADVICE. IF YOU
DON'T ANSWER MY QUESTIONS,
I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN TO F.B.I.
HEADQUARTERS IN HANDCUFFS.
HE'LL DO IT. HE
DOESN'T LIKE YOU.
HER NAME IS CAMDEN DESTRY.
NESTOR OLIVOS? I KNEW HIM.
HE'S KIND OF FAMOUS
SINCE HE DIED.
POOR KID. TO TAKE HIS OWN LIFE.
WERE YOU ROMANTICALLY
INVOLVED? NO.
CAMDEN IS TOO YOUNG
TO DATE SERIOUSLY.
TELL ME WHEN YOU'VE SEEN
ENOUGH TO START TELLING THE TRUTH.
- THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS, AGENT BOOTH.
- OH, MY GOD.
I can't believe this.
OH, MY GOD. WHERE
DID THAT COME FROM?
- REALLY, MR. BOOTH,
I MUST PROTEST.
- I'M TIRED OF BEING LIED TO.
SO EXCUSE ME IF I'M INDELICATE.
LET'S START OVER, SHALL WE?
DID YOU KNOW NESTOR OLIVOS?
WERE YOU ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED?
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
WHY WOULD NESTOR TAPE US?
I LOVED HIM.
SO LET ME JUST GET THIS RIGHT. I'M
THE TACTLESS AND INSENSITIVE ONE?
THE GIRL LIED TO A FEDERAL
AGENT DURING THE INVESTIGATION...
OF THE DEATH OF A BOY
THAT SHE SAID SHE LOVES.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THESE KIDS, THEY ALL LIE.
THAT SCHOOL TEACHES THEM THAT THEY'RE
SPECIAL, THAT THEY'RE ABOVE THE REST OF US.
WELL, THEY'RE NOT. YOU'RE THE
LEAST SUBJECTIVE PERSON I'VE EVER MET.
THANK YOU. IT'S
NOT A COMPLIMENT.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE, RIGHT?
THE SCHOOL, THE TAPES. NOW SHERIFF ROACH.
ALL THIS MESS YOU'RE
UNCOVERING, IT SMELLS, YES,
BUT IT DOESN'T ADD UP
TO MURDER, NOT LOGICALLY.
MAYBE IF YOU LOOKED FOR MORE THAN THE
FACTS, YOU'D BE ABLE TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE.
MAYBE IF YOU OPENED YOUR MIND,
WE COULD FIND OUT THE ACTUAL TRUTH.
BROUGHT YOU THE TAPES. HOW MANY?
ALL OF 'EM. WHAT DO YOU
THINK, I'M WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE?
I'M THINKING HANOVER
PREP GETS YOU ELECTED,
AND YOU LOOK THE OTHER
WAY WHEN YOU SEE THESE TAPES.
KIDS HAVING SEX? THERE'S
NO LAW AGAINST THAT.
LET'S HOPE THAT'S THE
WORST THING THAT WE FIND.
YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE
SCHOOL SERVING PUDDING.
"STIRRING THE PUDDING." IT
MEANS... MELODEE DESTRY.
THAT'S... THAT'S
CAMDEN'S MOTHER.
IS THAT... IS THAT NESTOR
OLIVOS SHE'S WITH?
NOPE.
THAT'S NESTOR'S
ROOMMATE, TUCKER PATTISON.
HOW LONG DID THE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP
CONTINUE? COUPLE OF MONTHS. I DON'T KNOW.
- TUCKER IS THE UNDERAGE
VICTIM OF STATUTORY RAPE.
- WHEN DID IT END?
- THAT WAS THE LAST TIME.
- WHY NESTOR'S BED? WHY NOT YOUR OWN?
- I DON'T KNOW.
- IT WAS BECAUSE YOU KNEW EXACTLY
WHERE THE CAMERA WAS POINTED.
MRS. DESTRY GAVE ME MONEY, YOU
KNOW, TO KEEP QUIET. NESTOR SAID,
"HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK SHE'D PAY TO
KEEP HER HUSBAND FROM SEEING A TAPE?"
NESTOR SET UP A
DROP AND GOT $5,000.
HE SAID WE SHOULD DO IT
AGAIN, BUT JUST BEFORE VACATION.
I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS
GONNA TELL MY PARENTS,
EVEN IF IT MEANT GETTING
KICKED OUT OF HANOVER.
NEXT THING I KNOW,
HE KILLED HIMSELF.
I FIGURED IT WAS MY FAULT.
TABANID PUPAL CASINGS SHOW THE BOY INGESTED
A HEAVY DOSE OF KETAMINE BEFORE HE DIED.
KIDS CALL IT SPECIAL "K."
SOMEBODY DOSED HIM, RIGHT?
THAT EXPLAINS WHY HE WASN'T
STRUGGLING DURING THE HANGING.
OR, WILD THOUGHT, HE TOOK IT
HIMSELF FOR FUN LIKE MOST KIDS DO.
I HAD SEX WITH NAOMI
IN PALEONTOLOGY.
YOU MEAN ACTUALLY
IN PALEONTOLOGY? NO!
AT HER PLACE. I THOUGHT IT WENT
GREAT, BUT I COULD BE WRONG.
BECAUSE APPARENTLY, WHAT I
THINK IS WILD AND KINKY IS JUST BASIC.
AND SINCE SHE NEVER
CALLED ME BACK,
I'M WONDERING IF IT'S BECAUSE
I LACK IMAGINATION IN THE SACK.
YOU KNOW WHAT, ZACK? I'M THINKING
THIS IS MORE OF A GUY-GUY CONVERSATION.
YEAH. I WAS WONDERING.
DUDE, MINTY BURP IS STILL BURP.
YEAH, WELL, WHO TOOK
ME TO WONG SALMONELLAS?
ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW
WHAT? JUST GO BACK TO SID.
LET HIM BRING YOU YOUR MEAL,
THE HEARTBURN WILL DISAPPEAR.
- HEARTBURN!
- WHAT?
HODGINS HAS HEARTBURN BECAUSE
STOMACH ACID IS RISING INTO HIS ESOPHAGUS.
THE KETAMINE PLUS CHOKING COULD'VE
CAUSED NESTOR TO REGURGITATE.
THE ROPE WOULD HOLD THE GASTRIC JUICES
IN THE UPPER THROAT AND WEAKEN THE HYOID.
DIGESTIVE JUICES ARE
BASICALLY HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
SOMETIME WHEN YOU'RE NOT BUSY,
I WONDER IF I COULD ASK YOU A FEW
QUESTIONS ABOUT SEXUAL POSITIONS?
IF YOU EVEN TRY, I WILL TAKE OUT MY
GUN AND SHOOT YOU BETWEEN THE EYES.
THESE MARKS HERE AND HERE... THAT'S
SCORING CONSISTENT WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
I DON'T LIKE WHERE
YOU'RE GOING WITH THIS.
I NEED TO RUN A FEW SCENARIOS
THROUGH THE "ANGELATOR."
REPLACE THE VALUES FOR THE HYOID
BONE MASS WITH THESE SLIDING COEFFICIENTS.
THAT WILL REPLICATE
BONE DETERIORATION...
AS THE HYOID IS BEING
DIGESTED BY STOMACH ACID.
I'M APPLYING A TIMELINE AND
RUNNING IN FAST-FORWARD.
THIS WILL SHOW IT
IN MEASURED TIME.
THE BODY DECOMPOSES,
AND THE GASTRIC JUICES...
TRAPPED BY THE NOOSE IN NESTOR'S ESOPHAGUS
ACTUALLY DIGEST THE HYOID OVER TIME.
WAIT... THERE. THE
HYOID CRACKED.
196.3 HOURS.
JUST OVER EIGHT DAYS.
THIS FINDING IS
CONGRUENT WITH SUICIDE.
I DO NOT ACCEPT
THAT. IT'S A FACT.
YOU CAN'T NOT ACCEPT A FACT. I HAVE
TO AMEND MY CAUSE OF DEATH REPORT.
THEN YOU'LL STOP MY INVESTIGATION. THE
SCHOOL'S TRYING TO COVER UP A MURDER,
AND YOU'RE HELPING THEM.
HONEY?
DID YOU EVER JUST BELIEVE
SOMETHING DESPITE THE EVIDENCE?
JUST KNOW IT WAS TRUE? NO.
I'VE HOPED THINGS.
BUT I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOPE AND FACT.
YOU KNOW, ALL THAT'S LEFT OF
THIS BOY IS A TABLE FULL OF BONES.
NOW EVERYONE HE'S EVER
KNOWN HAS AN AGENDA...
HIS PARENTS, HIS SCHOOL, EVEN
THE COP INVESTIGATING HIS DEATH.
YOU KNOW, I'M THE ONLY ONE
WHO CARES ABOUT THE TRUTH...
OF WHAT NESTOR'S LIFE CAME
TO IN THE END, GOOD OR BAD.
AND I KNOW THE TRUTH IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
YOU KNOW, OR YOU HOPE IT'S TRUE?
SUICIDE IS THE MOST
RATIONAL, LOGICAL EXPLANATION.
WHAT I BELIEVE DOESN'T MATTER.
WHAT MAKES ME
SAD DOESN'T MATTER.
LOOK AT THIS FACE.
HE DID NOT KILL HIMSELF.
ANGELA, I NEED A LITTLE MORE
PROOF THAN A NICE DRAWING.
I CAN DO THAT.
THIS IS NOT FROM THE DVD. IT'S A QUICK
SNIPPET THAT WAS ON NESTOR'S HARD DRIVE.
SOMEBODY TRIED TO ERASE IT,
BUT ZACK AND I GOT SOME OF IT BACK.
ANGELA, ZOOM IN
ON THAT NECKLACE.
A LITTLE SEA HORSE? COME ON.
WHAT KIND OF
BLACKMAILER DOES THAT?
IT'S SWEET. IT'S A
CLUELESS KID IN LOVE.
THAT'S YOUR EVIDENCE THAT HE
DIDN'T COMMIT SUICIDE? A SEA HORSE?
A KID DOESN'T GIVE A GIFT
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE'S IN LOVE.
- HE DOES IT BECAUSE
HE WANTS A LITTLE LOVING.
- RERUN THAT.
THAT CYNICISM YOU AFFECT, BOOTH,
IT'S YOUR WAY OF HIDING A
DEEPLY ROMANTIC NATURE. THERE.
STOP. PLAY AGAIN.
- THERE. SHE ROLLED HER EYES
FOR THE CAMERA.
- WHAT?
- NO. I DIDN'T SEE IT EITHER.
- PLAY IT IN STOP-MOTION.
ZOOM IN. THERE.
SLOW MOTION.
- HOW'D YOU SEE THAT?
- WAIT. THAT GIRL KNEW
THE CAMERA WAS THERE.
SHE LOOKED RIGHT AT IT. CAMDEN
ISN'T A VICTIM. SHE'S IN ON IT.
YOU DON'T ROLL YOUR EYES TO YOURSELF. YOU
DO THAT FOR SOMEONE ELSE, NOT NESTOR OLIVOS.
- WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
- THIS IS WHERE A PUBLIC SCHOOL
EDUCATION COMES IN HANDY.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER WAS
THE PLAYGROUND MOTTO.
WHAT WOULD HELP ME, CAMDEN, IS IF
YOU TOLD ME WHY NESTOR KILLED HIMSELF.
THEN WE CAN CLOSE THE
MURDER INVESTIGATION.
- WHY IS TUCKER HERE?
- TUCKER... HE SAID SOME THINGS.
- WHAT THINGS?
- WELL, WHAT TUCKER TOLD US
DOESN'T MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD.
I BELIEVE HIM, BUT AGENT BOOTH SAYS
IT WAS ONLY FAIR TO HEAR YOUR SIDE.
IF YOUR STORIES MATCH UP, I'LL BE
ABLE TO DROP THE MURDER INVESTIGATION.
YOU KNOW, I FIND
IT HARD TO BELIEVE...
THAT IT WAS YOUR IDEA FOR
TUCKER TO SEDUCE YOUR MOTHER.
- IT WASN'T. SHE HIT ON TUCKER.
- NO, WAIT. WAIT.
CAN THEY DO THIS? THEY'RE
FISHING. DON'T SAY A WORD.
- I WASN'T FISHING. WERE YOU FISHING?
- I WASN'T FISHING.
TUCKER WAS ALL "STACEY'S MOM" ABOUT
IT. I JUST SORT OF GAVE HIM PERMISSION.
- IT WAS FUNNY.
- PLEASE STOP THIS. STOP IT!
MOM, DEAL WITH IT, OKAY? YOU'RE
THE ONE THAT'S THE PERV, SO...
WHEN MY MOM GAVE TUCKER
MONEY TO KEEP HIM QUIET,
WE GOT THE IDEA TO
BLACKMAIL HER WITH THE TAPE.
I WAS MAD AT HER, I GUESS.
THEN TUCKER SAID IT WAS MY TURN.
NESTOR WAS RICH, LONELY,
CATHOLIC, AND HE HAD A THING FOR YOU.
AND HE WAS CUTE.
PEOPLE DIDN'T NOTICE...
BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE
TALKED, BUT HE WAS REALLY CUTE.
I LIKED HIM.
WE MADE THE TAPE AND
SHOWED IT TO NESTOR.
IT MADE HIM REALLY
UPSET. REALLY UPSET.
- BECAUSE YOU THREATENED
TO SHOW IT TO HIS MOTHER?
- OR BECAUSE I BROKE HIS HEART.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
HE KILLED HIMSELF.
I'M REALLY SORRY HE DID THAT.
WHAT CAMDEN DID WAS WRONG,
WHICH SHE'S ACKNOWLEDGED.
BUT SHE CAN'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR AN UNSTABLE BOY'S OVERREACTION.
- I SAID I'M SORRY.
- YEAH.
CAMDEN DESTRY, I'M PLACING YOU UNDER
ARREST FOR THE MURDER OF NESTOR OLIVOS.
SHE'S ADMITTED TO BLACKMAIL AND
ATTEMPTED BLACKMAIL. THAT'S ALL.
NESTOR WAS GOING TO GO TO
THE HEADMASTER AND EXPOSE YOU,
SO YOU DOSED HIM WITH KETAMINE
AND HAULED HIM UP INTO THE TREE.
THE D.N.A. TRACES IN THE
ROPE WILL PROVE THAT.
PLUS, YOU'VE ALREADY
CONFESSED TO THE MOTIVE.
IF I COOPERATE AND TELL YOU EVERYTHING
TUCKER DID, DO I GET SOME SORT OF DEAL?
THAT DEPENDS ON
WHAT ELSE YOU GOT.
THE HEADMASTER AND
THE HEAD OF SECURITY...
WILL BOTH LOSE THEIR JOBS
OVER WHAT HAPPENED TO NESTOR.
THE SHERIFF WILL RESIGN.
THE TWO KIDS WHO KILLED
YOUR SON ARE BOTH IN CUSTODY.
THANK YOU. WE'RE VERY
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
AMBASSADOR OLIVOS?
YOU TOLD ME THAT ALL A
MOTHER WANTS IS TO KNOW...
THAT SHE'S RAISED
HER CHILD WELL,
THAT YOUR BIGGEST REGRET
IS THAT YOU'LL NEVER KNOW...
IF NESTOR WOULD'VE
GROWN UP TO BE A GOOD MAN.
BUT HE WAS A GOOD MAN.
HE DIED BECAUSE HE WAS
TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
VERY IMPRESSIVE, TEMPERANCE.
GOT THAT ONE RIGHT.
RIGHT THIS WAY.
WHEN YOU'RE WITH SOMEONE, THE
GYMNASTICS AREN'T WHAT MATTER.
IT'S WHO YOU ARE. IT'S
IN YOUR INTENTIONS...
AND HOW MUCH YOU CARE
ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON.
IF YOU DON'T WANNA
HELP ME, JUST SAY SO.
ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA
LET YOU IN ON A SECRET.
THIS IS A FEMALE SECRET.
GO TO NAOMI AND TELL HER THAT YOU
DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LOVEMAKING.
SEX, YEAH. LOVEMAKING...
YOU'RE A BLANK SLATE.
YOU'LL DO ANYTHING SHE WANTS IF SHE JUST
INTRODUCES YOU TO THE SECRETS OF LOVE.
SHE'LL BE MORE INTERESTED IN THAT THAN IF YOU
WERE THE MOST IMAGINATIVE LOVER ON THE PLANET.
THAT IS TOTALLY
COUNTERINTUITIVE.
JUST DO IT, Z-MAN. REAP THE
BENEFITS OF MY SEXUAL WISDOM.
OH, NO. THIS ISN'T GONNA WORK.
I MEAN, THIS IS MY PLACE. SID?
AS LONG AS THEY KEEP
IT DOWN ON THE SUBJECT...
OF ROTTEN CORPSES AND BODILY
FLUIDS, I HAVE NO BEEF AT ALL.
OKAY, THAT IS AMAZING.
I HAD HEARTBURN.
I ASKED SID TO BRING ME SOMETHING,
AND NOW THE HEARTBURN'S GONE.
I MEAN, IT'S GONE.
MAN, I LOVE THIS PLACE.
OKAY, FINE. NEW RULES.
THAT COUNTER IS MINE.
THAT BOOTH IS YOURS.
EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND
HERE, ALL RIGHT, IS MINE.
ALL RIGHT? MINE. M-I-N-E. MINE.
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOUR
WHOLE "SOMETHING STINKS" APTITUDE.
OH, YEAH?
I THINK YOU HAVE A SUBCONSCIOUS
KNACK FOR READING BODY LANGUAGE.
STRESS IN THE VOICE, OTHER
SUBTLE YET DISCERNABLE INDICATORS.
IT'S NOT MYSTERIOUS, BUT IT IS
IMPRESSIVE. AND IN THE FUTURE,
I WILL TRY TO ACCORD IT AN
APPROPRIATE DEGREE OF OBJECTIVE WORTH.
THANK YOU, TEMPERANCE.
I APPRECIATE THAT. SO, UH,
WHAT PART OF "THIS IS MINE"
DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
DO I HAVE TO SAY IT IN LATIN?
HMM?
NICE.
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
WHO'S THAT WITH ZACK?
NAOMI FROM PALEONTOLOGY.
NAOMI AND ZACK SLEPT
TOGETHER ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
SINCE THEN, SHE HASN'T
RETURNED A SINGLE CALL.
OH.
YOU WORKING ON
ANYTHING INTERESTING?
ME? YEAH, YEAH.
A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL
OF AN ETRUSCAN BURIAL CRYPT.
MM-HMM. YEAH. YOU?
YEAH. OH, GOD, YEAH. VERY
EXCITING. VERY EXCITING.
SOME, UH, SILT
PROFILES. MMM. MMM.
GOD! ETRUSCAN BURIAL
CRYPTS ARE SO BORING.
OH, MAN, I KNOW. I
MEAN, SILT PROFILES?
YOU KNOW WHAT WE NEED?
A MURDER INVESTIGATION.
BRENNAN AND BOOTH ARE OUT
FRONT RIGHT NOW WAITING FOR ZACK.
WHAT, THERE'S A CASE?
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO?
ZACK, YOU GOTTA GO! OH, SHE REALLY
BOLTED. DOESN'T LOOK GOOD FOR ZACK.
COME ON, ZACK. SHAKE
IT OFF, HUH? BE A MAN.
YOU OKAY, HONEY?
SHE SAID, "TAKE A HINT."
BUT WHEN I ASKED,
"WHAT HINT?" NAOMI SAID...
IF SHE TOLD ME WHAT HINT, IT WOULDN'T BE
A HINT ANYMORE... IT WOULD BE A STATEMENT.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD? THROWING
YOURSELF INTO YOUR WORK. HUH?
YOU REALLY DO HATE SLIME
PROFILES. HAVE A LITTLE COMPASSION.
I UNDERSTOOD THE INDIVIDUAL WORDS,
BUT I DO NOT COMPREHEND HER MEANING.
DID YOU TELL NAOMI THAT? YES.
SHE SAID ASK YOUR
FRIENDS, IF I HAVE ANY.
YOU KNOW, HODGINS IS RIGHT.
LET'S NOT KEEP BOOTH WAITING.
SOMEBODY IS
DECOMPOSING AS WE SPEAK.
GET OUT THERE AND BRING
US HOME A CASE, BUDDY.
WE GOT A DEAD BODY AT A
PREP SCHOOL OUT IN THE STICKS.
- GOOD MORNING TO YOU TOO.
- YOU'RE SUCCESSFUL
WITH WOMEN, RIGHT?
I MEAN, THEY LIKE YOU. LOOK, IT'S
A VERY PRESTIGIOUS PREP SCHOOL.
THERE'S A LOT OF RICH KIDS. I THOUGHT IT
WAS GOOD TO START WITH "GOOD MORNING."
IF A WOMAN SAID TO YOU, "TAKE
A HINT," WHAT WOULD IT MEAN?
CAN WE JUST
CONCENTRATE ON THE JOB?
THANK YOU.
NOW, I KNOW THE SHERIFF
OUT THERE. SHE'S MOSTLY OKAY.
BUT THE SCHOOL'S GOT A
LOT OF PULL IN THE COUNTY,
AND SHE'S PROBABLY JUST TRYING TO
SCRAPE THE WHOLE CASE OFF ON US.
LOOK, WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS IT'S NOT JUST
A CRIME SCENE, BUT IT'S A POLITICAL SITUATION.
SO WHEN WE GET OUT THERE, YOU
FOLLOW MY LEAD AND YOU PAY ATTENTION.
YOU'D CALL AFTER EVERY SEXUAL ENCOUNTER,
RIGHT? BECAUSE THAT'S THE GOOD THING TO DO.
LOOK, THIS IS A WORK MODE. THIS IS A
WORK ZONE. WE DO NOT TALK SEX AT WORK.
FIRST, YOU TELL ME
I'M TOO TASK ORIENTED.
THEN, WHEN I SAY "GOOD MORNING," YOU
SAY THAT I SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON THE JOB.
ALL RIGHT, LOOK. WE GOT
ABOUT A 45-MINUTE DRIVE, HMM?
WHAT DO YOU SAY WE
PASS IT IN QUIET MEDITATION?
CAN I TALK NOW?
NO. THAT'S NOT FAIR.
- WE'RE HERE NOW.
- MY CAR, MY RULES. PERIOD.
F.B.I. SPECIAL AGENT SEELEY BOOTH
AND A FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST.
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN FROM THE JEFFERSONIAN
INSTITUTE. PLUS ONE CRACK ASSISTANT.
I'LL NEED TO SEE
SOME I.D., PLEASE.
THIS REMINDS ME OF
WHERE I WENT TO SCHOOL.
YOU DON'T GET MUCH FARTHER FROM
THE REAL WORLD, THAT'S FOR SURE.
WHOSE KIDS GO TO SCHOOL HERE IS
ACTUALLY CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.
AGENT BOOTH, DR. BRENNAN, I'LL LEAD
YOU TO MR. SANDERS, OUR HEAD OF SECURITY.
JUST AIM US IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION. WE'LL FIND IT.
ALL OUTSIDERS ARE
TO BE ESCORTED, SIR.
HUH.
"OMNIA MEA MECUM PORTO."
WHAT'S THAT MEAN, HUH?
"REGULAR PEOPLE STAY OUT"?
"I CARRY WITH ME ALL MY THINGS."
- HEY, SEELEY. HOW'S IT GOING?
- KAREN.
CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING
ELECTED FULL SHERIFF. VERY IMPRESSIVE.
AGENT BOOTH, I'M LEO SANDERS,
HEAD OF SECURITY AT HANOVER PREP.
- THIS IS HEADMASTER
PETER RONSON.
- WHERE ARE THE HUMAN REMAINS?
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN AND
HER ASSISTANT, JACK, UH, SOMETHING.
- ZACK ADDY.
- COULD YOU SHOW ME
TO THE REMAINS?
EVEN THOUGH THE SCHOOL WAS MOSTLY
EMPTY DURING THE BREAK, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE...
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER ME,
BUT WE WORKED TOGETHER ON A CASE.
BUNCH OF BONES FOUND IN A
CULVERT ABOUT A YEAR AGO?
I REMEMBER THE
BONES AND THE CULVERT.
YOU KNOW, BONES, BEING
NICE TO THE LOCALS...
AND REMEMBERING THEIR NAMES
AND SUCH, IT WOULDN'T HURT.
OUR TWO-WEEK TERM
BREAK ENDS TOMORROW.
I'D LIKE TO GET THIS TIDIED UP SO THE
STUDENTS NEVER KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED YET. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
DID ANYONE TOUCH THE BODY?
I DOUBT IT. IT'S PRETTY GRIZZLY.
NOT BIG ON SMALL TALK, IS SHE?
DR. BRENNAN'S VERY FOCUSED.
WHERE ARE THE REMAINS?
BONES?
IS THAT A STUDENT? UM,
IT'S A SECURE CAMPUS.
GOTTA BE STUDENT,
STAFF OR FACULTY.
VIDEO FIRST. I DON'T WANT YOUR
FLASH DISTURBING THE CROWS.
YEAH, THAT'D BE A SHAME... DISTURB
THE HUMAN FLESH-EATING BIRDS.
YOU WANNA INCREASE THE
PERIMETER HERE? GENTLEMEN,
GIVE MY FORENSIC
ANTHROPOLOGIST SOME ROOM.
YOUR FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST?
AGENT BOOTH, IF YOU DECIDE THIS IS A
SUICIDE, IT BECOMES MY PROBLEM, CORRECT?
ACTUALLY, THE PERSON WHO
DECIDES IF THIS IS A SUICIDE IS ME.
LET'S GIVE THE BONE
LADY SOME ROOM.
YOU KNOW, I'M GLAD WE HAD THAT LITTLE
CHAT ABOUT BEING NICE TO THE LOCALS.
I DON'T LIKE SHERIFFS.
THEY'RE ELECTED INTO OFFICE,
WHICH MEANS THEIR GOAL IS BEING
REELECTED, NOT FINDING THE TRUTH.
- I GOT VIDEO, DR. BRENNAN.
- GO TO STILLS.
CAN WE JUST GET HIM
DOWN FROM THERE?
- THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO DO
BEFORE WE GET TO THAT.
- YOU WANNA STEP BACK, PLEASE?
I'M THE HEADMASTER HERE. AND
THIS IS A CRIME SCENE. STEP BACK.
- OH!
- I'M GONNA NEED
AN EVIDENCE BAG.
HEADS UP.
I'M GONNA NEED A BIGGER BAG.
I MAKE THIS A MALE,
APPROXIMATELY 5'6", 130 POUNDS.
FROM THE LOOKS OF HIS STERNUM AND SKULL,
I'D SAY MID-ADOLESCENT... SAY, 14 TO 17.
HIGH CHEEKBONES.
YOU THINK MAYBE ASIAN?
I'M GETTIN' MORE
OF A HISPANIC VIBE.
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT
CREMATOGASTER ANT COLONY IN THE TREE...
THAT FED ON THE BODY, AS
WELL AS TABANID MAGGOTS.
I'LL GIVE YOU A TIME OF DEATH ESTIMATE
WHEN I FIGURE OUT WHO ATE WHAT WHEN.
CHECK FOR INSECT PUPA AND LARVA.
SEE WHAT KIND OF MEDICATIONS AND/OR
DRUGS MIGHT'VE BEEN IN HIS SYSTEM.
HE WAS WEARING THIS. HMM.
CATHOLIC BOY.
ONE-BY-TWO FORCEPS.
- WHAT IS THAT?
- COCHLEAR IMPLANT.
LOOKS LIKE THE BIRDS
WERE TRYING TO GET IT.
THAT WOULD SET A BOY APART
FROM THE OTHERS... BEING DEAF.
GET A SERIAL NUMBER.
I'LL GET X-RAYS AND 3-D
IMAGING OF THE ENTIRE SKELETON.
I DIDN'T TALK TO ANYBODY IN
HIGH SCHOOL. I DIDN'T KILL MYSELF.
THAT WASN'T A HIGH SCHOOL. IT WAS
AN EXPERIMENTAL EUGENICS PROGRAM.
HOW HARD CAN
IT BE TO FIND OUT...
WHICH ONE OF YOUR
STUDENTS IS MISSING?
WE CAN'T JUST CALL
PARENTS AND SAY,
"WE FOUND A ROTTING BODY. DO
YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILD IS?"
WE CAN DO A FULL
ROLL CALL TOMORROW.
ALL OF OUR HIGHER-RISK
STUDENTS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR.
HIGHER-RISK? THE ONES
WITH PERSONAL BODYGUARDS.
WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS,
VIS-À-VIS PUBLICITY, MEDIA?
NOT MY CONCERN.
THERE ARE STUDENTS HERE WE REALLY
DON'T WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW ABOUT.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY A SUICIDE.
IT'S NOT AS THOUGH...
WE'RE ASKING YOU TO FORGO THE
GLORY OF CATCHING A MURDERER.
EXCUSE ME. SORRY. BOOTH.
WE'LL HAVE THE IDENTITY OF THE
BOY IN THE TREE WITHIN THE HOUR.
THAT WAS FAST. DO YOU KNOW
WHAT A COCHLEAR IMPLANT IS?
- HEARING AID?
- NOT... NOT EXACTLY.
IT'S A MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED PIECE OF
EQUIPMENT WHICH WAS SURGICALLY FITTED...
- CAN YOU IDENTIFY HIM
THROUGH THE SERIAL NUMBER?
- THAT'S CORRECT.
- BUT THE INTERESTING THING
IS THAT...
- YOU CAN FILL ME IN LATER.
WAIT... NO... BUT THE
INTERESTING THING IS THAT HIS...
THAT'S CORRECT. WHAT?
THAT IS INTERESTING.
- ARE YOU DRUNK OR SOMETHING?
- WE'LL CATCH UP LATER AND, UH...
WAIT! WAIT! I'M NOT COMPLETELY
CERTAIN THE BOY'S DEATH IS A SUICIDE.
WE'LL GRAB SOME CHINESE FOOD, AND YOU CAN
FILL ME IN LATER ON ALL THE BORING DETAILS.
SORRY.
DEATH IS VERY UPSETTING TO A
COMMUNITY AS TIGHT AS OURS.
WELL, YOU'RE FAMOUS FOR
KEEPING YOUR STUDENTS SAFE.
BUT YOU CAN'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
IF A TROUBLED STUDENT KILLS HIMSELF.
WE ALL AGREE THAT SUICIDE IS
THE ONLY FEASIBLE CONCLUSION.
- WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.
- MMM, SURE AS HELL DO.
I'LL NEED A COMPLETE ENROLLMENT LIST
INCLUDING TEACHERS, STAFF, STUDENTS.
THAT'S EXTREMELY
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
WELL, YOU KNOW, LUCKILY
I'M GOOD AT KEEPING SECRETS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
IT'S NOT A SUICIDE?
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
WE CAN'T HAVE JUST ANYONE
STEP INTO THE FORENSICS AREA...
AND CONTAMINATE ALL
THE BORING DETAILS.
"BORING DETAILS"...
DO NOT PUSH ME, KID.
"BORING DETAILS" WAS MY SIGNAL FOR YOU
TO STOP TALKING, OKAY? I WANT MY OWN CARD.
I WANT MY OWN GUN. LAST TIME
YOU HAD A GUN, YOU SHOT SOMEONE.
- HE WAS A BAD GUY.
- OKAY, LOOK, WHO'S OUR VICTIM?
ALL THE BORING
DETAILS? LET IT GO, BONES.
MOVE ON. DON'T CALL ME "BONES."
WE TRACED THE COCHLEAR IMPLANT TO
DR. MAURICE LEDBETTER AT CEDARS-SINAI,
WHO PLACED IT IN A BOY
NAMED NESTOR OLIVOS.
MR. OLIVOS. STUDENT VISA, SON
OF A VENEZUELAN AMBASSADOR.
- WHAT ELSE?
- YOU WANT ALL
THE BORING DETAILS?
LET IT GO, BONES.
DON'T CALL ME "BONES"!
THE BOY'S HYOID BONE IS BROKEN.
STRANGULATION DEATH,
THE HYOID'S ALWAYS BROKEN.
- IN ADULTS. THIS WAS A BOY.
- HIS HYOID IS FLEXIBLE,
UNBREAKABLE.
MAYBE THE KID'S GOT SOME KIND OF
VENEZUELAN BRITTLE BONE SYNDROME.
I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP. SO
YOU'RE SAYING HE WAS MURDERED?
NO. I'M SAYING I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO
THE BOY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ALL THE FACTS.
♪♪
HOW HARD CAN IT BE? A KID HANGING
FROM A TREE... OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A SUICIDE.
SIR, HAS HANOVER PREP BEEN
STIRRING THE PUDDING ON THIS?
OF COURSE THEY'RE
STIRRING THE PUDDING.
EVERY MOVER AND SHAKER IN THIS TOWN
IS CONNECTED TO THAT DAMN SCHOOL.
APPARENTLY, THE VERY FUTURE
OF THIS COUNTRY'S AT STAKE.
WELL, I'D LIKE TO DECLARE IT A
MURDER JUST TO SHAKE THOSE LITTLE...
I'M NOT GONNA DECLARE IT A MURDER
JUST SO YOU CAN SHAKE THINGS UP.
THE EVIDENCE IS
AMBIGUOUS AT BEST.
WELL, UN-AMBIGUIZE IT,
PLEASE, DR. GOODMAN.
LOOK, YOU'RE VERY EXPERIENCED WITHIN
YOUR FIELD OF BONES AND SUCH, RIGHT?
DOESN'T YOUR GUT SAY SUICIDE? I
DON'T ACTUALLY USE MY GUT FOR THAT, SIR.
- SHE REALLY, REALLY DOESN'T.
- LIKE ALL OF US
AT THE JEFFERSONIAN,
DR. BRENNAN PREFERS
SCIENCE TO THE DIGESTIVE TRACT.
- WHAT ABOUT YOUR GUT?
- MY GUT SAYS IT STINKS.
HE SMELLS WITH HIS GUT. WHAT DOES HE USE HIS
NOSE FOR? ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
IN ORDER FOR AN INVESTIGATION TO OCCUR, YOU,
DR. BRENNAN, HAVE TO DECLARE IT A MURDER.
WITHOUT AN INVESTIGATION, WE
CAN'T FIND OUT IF IT'S A MURDER.
BUT THERE'LL BE NO INVESTIGATION UNLESS
DR. BRENNAN DECLARES IT TO BE A MURDER.
SHALL I SEND FOR A PHILOSOPHER?
- THEY'RE SAYING IT'S MY CALL.
- YOU SEE? IT'S HOW - YOU TALK TO THESE PEOPLE.
MY OFFICIAL FINDING IS
THAT NESTOR OLIVOS...
IS A VICTIM OF A HOMICIDE.
♪♪
THANK YOU.
FOR WHAT? YOU KNOW, FOR
GOING WITH MY INSTINCTS IN THERE.
I DID NOT BACK UP YOUR
INSTINCTS. I BOUGHT TIME...
TO FIND THE FACTS I NEED TO TELL
ME WHAT HAPPENED TO NESTOR OLIVOS.
WHAT'S WITH YOU AND
THE PRIVATE SCHOOL?
I THOUGHT WE UNDERSTOOD EACH
OTHER. THAT'S BAD? I UNDERSTAND...
I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE WHO THINK
THEY'RE BETTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE.
SOME PEOPLE ARE BETTER
THAN OTHER PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU JUST SAID
RIGHT THERE, THAT IS SO UN-AMERICAN.
ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. EITHER
YOU BELIEVE THAT, OR YOU DON'T.
SOME PEOPLE ARE SMARTER THAN OTHERS.
THERE'S NO USE BEING OFFENDED BY THE FACT.
WHAT ARE WE GONNA
TELL NESTOR'S PARENTS?
WE TELL THEM THAT THEIR SON WAS
FOUND DEAD. WE'RE LOOKING INTO IT.
"SORRY FOR YOUR
LOSS." AND WE ARE.
WHAT?
SORRY FOR THEIR LOSS. IT'S SAD.
TRY TO REMEMBER THAT.
I'M NOT A SOCIOPATH.
YOU'RE BAD WITH PEOPLE. NO
USE BEING OFFENDED BY THE FACT.
HANGING FROM A
TREE AT THE SCHOOL?
I'M AFRAID SO,
AMBASSADOR OLIVOS.
WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH FULL DETAILS WHEN
DR. BRENNAN FINISHES HER INVESTIGATION.
WILL YOU NEED US TO IDENTIFY NESTOR'S
REMAINS? THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU HEARD FROM NESTOR?
A FEW DAYS AFTER
HIS HOLIDAY BEGAN.
- HE WENT WITH A FRIEND
TO NOVA SCOTIA.
- WE RECEIVED AN E-MAIL.
CAN WE HAVE A COPY? IT'LL HELP US
DETERMINE EXACTLY WHEN THE VICTIM DIED.
YOUR SON... WE'RE VERY
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
THERE WAS NOTHING TO SUGGEST IN
THE E-MAIL THAT NESTOR WAS UNHAPPY.
CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH TO...
WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE HIM HOME.
WE MUST PETITION THE CHURCH TO
BURY HIM IN CONSECRATED GROUND.
NESTOR WAS AN ALTAR BOY.
THEY WILL BURY HIM PROPERLY.
- WHEN WILL YOU
RELEASE HIM TO US?
- THAT'S UP TO DR. BRENNAN.
WHAT DID NAOMI MEAN
WHEN SHE SAID, "TAKE A HINT"?
- OOH.
- WHAT DID I DO WRONG?
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU DID
WRONG. IT'S WHAT YOU DIDN'T DO.
WHERE DO YOU LEARN THIS STUFF?
WELL, SOME THINGS
YOU LEARN BY DOING.
RIDING A BIKE, DRIVING A
CAR, PLEASING A WOMAN.
I CAN'T RIDE A BIKE OR DRIVE A CAR.
OR APPARENTLY PLEASE A WOMAN.
I NEED SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS,
A LIST OF TECHNIQUES TO
IMPLEMENT, OR A SEQUENCE OF MOVES.
I'M NOT REALLY THE GUY TO
TALK TO ABOUT THAT. WHY NOT?
YOU'VE SLEPT WITH,
LIKE, 10,000 WOMEN.
BECAUSE OUR RELATIONSHIP IS ALL ABOUT
WHAT'S UP HERE. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO...
IS TALK TO SOMEONE
MORE... EARTHY.
AS A SCHOOL PSYCHIATRIST, I'M
BOUND BY PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY.
IN THE ABSENCE OF A WARRANT
OR PERMISSION FROM HIS PARENTS,
I CAN'T DIVULGE THE SPECIFICS OF
MY MEETINGS WITH NESTOR OLIVOS.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT HE WAS
AT EXTREME RISK OF SUICIDE.
THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS THAT
NESTOR WAS TAKING ANTIDEPRESSANTS.
I COULD ONLY MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PARENTS.
YOU THINK THIS BOY WAS DEPRESSED
ENOUGH TO HANG HIMSELF FROM A TREE?
HE WAS ALIENATED BY
CULTURE, BY LANGUAGE,
BY HIS HANDICAP, BY HIS
OWN SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS.
- YES.
- THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN,
DR. PETTY.
AS WE SUSPECTED, SUICIDE.
A DEPRESSED AND LONELY BOY
HANGS HIMSELF OVER THE HOLIDAY.
SO HOW DOES THE SON OF AN AMBASSADOR GO
MISSING FOR TWO WEEKS AND NOBODY NOTICES?
AS FAR AS THE SCHOOL WAS CONCERNED,
NESTOR WAS VACATIONING WITH HIS ROOMMATE.
THE SCHOOL REQUESTED
AND RECEIVED A WAIVER...
FROM AMBASSADOR OLIVOS.
I WAS IN VENEZUELA LAST YEAR.
IT'S VERY UNSTABLE POLITICALLY.
IT'S TRUE THE FAMILY RECEIVED
THREATS. WE WERE COGNIZANT OF THAT.
BUT YOU AREN'T SERIOUSLY
SUGGESTING THAT...
SOME KIND OF VENEZUELAN HIT SQUAD
ASSASSINATED A STUDENT AT HANOVER PREP?
LIKE THE DOCTOR SAID,
IT'S A SIMPLE CASE...
OF A DEPRESSED BOY ENDING
HIS LIFE, NOT A TOM CLANCY NOVEL.
YEAH. WE'LL START WITH NESTOR'S
ROOMMATE TOMORROW MORNING.
IT'S YOUR INVESTIGATION.
♪♪
HEY. I'LL SAY THIS.
SHE'S TALL. DR. TEMPERANCE
BRENNAN, MEET SID, THE OWNER.
HEY. THE BONE LADY.
THE SIGN SAYS "WONG FOO'S."
FAMILY NAME CHANGE AT ELLIS
ISLAND. I'LL GET YOUR MEAL.
- BUT WE DIDN'T ORDER.
- SID KNOWS WHAT PEOPLE WANT
BETTER THAN THEY DO.
NESTOR'S BONES ARE COMPLETELY
NORMAL. NOT BRITTLE IN ANY WAY.
THIS IS KIND OF MY LITTLE
GETAWAY PLACE, YOU KNOW?
THE GROOVES THE ROPE LEFT IN THE BRANCH WHERE
NESTOR WAS HANGING ARE TOO DEEP FOR HIS WEIGHT.
PLEASE, EVERYONE,
COME ON. SIT DOWN.
EGGS, LARVA, WASTE ALL
INDICATE THAT THE INSECTS...
WHICH FED ON THE BODY ARE INDIGENOUS
TO THE TREE IN WHICH HE WAS FOUND.
IT MEANS HE DIED THERE
APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 14 DAYS AGO.
I'LL HAVE THE SEVEN-ORGAN SOUP. YOU
DON'T ORDER. THE GUY JUST BRINGS IT.
HE DIDN'T VOID. USUALLY SOMEBODY
HANGS THEMSELVES, THE FLOODGATES OPEN.
BODILY FLUIDS EVERYWHERE.
THERE'S PLENTY OF EFFLUENT IN HIS CLOTHES,
BUT THEY'RE ALL POST-DECOMPOSITION.
AS THE BODY SWELLS, IT BURSTS FROM INTERNAL
GASES. HOW DOES THE GUY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT?
- THE GUY HAS A KNACK.
- THE GUY'S NAME IS SID.
IT WAS BIRDS WHO ATE HIS EYES, EARS,
AND WORKED THEIR WAY INTO THE SKULL.
BIRDS PECKING AT THE SOFT TISSUE OF
THE THROAT... COULD THAT CRACK THE HYOID?
NO. IT'S A STRESS FRACTURE CAUSED BY THE
ROPE AGAINST HIS THROAT, NOT POSTMORTEM.
YOU PUT A SENSITIVE ADOLESCENT
IN A HIGH-PRESSURE PREP SCHOOL,
ADD SOCIAL ALIENATION,
CULTURAL DIFFERENCES,
PRESSURE FROM HIGH-ACHIEVING
PARENTS, IT COULD BE SUICIDE.
IT'S NOT A SUICIDE.
BECAUSE BOOTH THINKS THAT PREP
SCHOOLS TURN OUT ENTITLED CRIMINALS.
WE ALL WENT TO PRIVATE
SCHOOL. NONE OF US ARE CRIMINALS.
IN FACT, WE FIGHT CRIMINALS.
WE'RE CRIME FIGHTERS.
NO. YOU'RE NOT... YOU'RE... I'M
JUST SAYING, IT'S NOT A SUICIDE.
I'M A BIG BELIEVER IN INSTINCT.
FINALLY, A SQUINT
WITH AN OPEN MIND.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW
OPEN-MINDED I CAN BE.
WHAT'S WITH THESE PICTURES?
THIS IS A RESTAURANT.
PEOPLE COME HERE TO EAT. WHAT'S
THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?
BOOTH, WHAT THE HELL
DID YOU BRING IN MY PLACE?
- I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
- THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.
THIS IS AMAZING. THE GUY
DEFINITELY HAS A KNACK.
OOH! SO YOU DO TAKE ORDERS.
OF COURSE WE DO. BUT IT'S ALWAYS
BETTER WHEN YOU LEAVE IT TO ME.
BOOTH? ALL RIGHT.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE
BOY DIED 10 TO 14 DAYS AGO?
HEY, BUGS BUZZ,
BUT THEY DO NOT LIE.
HODGINS IS VERY GOOD AT USING
INSECTS TO ASCERTAIN THE TIME OF DEATH.
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN AN E-MAIL THAT WAS
SENT SEVEN DAYS AGO FROM NOVA SCOTIA?
HMM? SEE? LOOK AT THAT.
IT STINKS. GO AHEAD, SMELL IT.
YOU KNOW YOU WANNA
SMELL IT. IT STINKS.
DON'T-DON'T SMELL THAT.
NO, NO, YOU GOTTA TASTE IT.
I CAN SMELL IT FROM
HERE. ANGELA, IT'S SO GOOD.
MMM! THAT'S REALLY GROSS.
YOU AND NESTOR WERE ROOMMATES
FOR THREE MONTHS. CORRECT?
YES, SIR. AND YOU INVITED HIM
TO SPEND THE VACATION WITH YOU?
WE HAVE A SUMMER HOME ON
CAPE BRETON. PLENTY OF ROOM.
NESTOR DECIDED TO GO
BACK HOME TO VENEZUELA.
WHAT DID THE OTHER
KIDS SAY ABOUT NESTOR?
NESTOR WAS DIFFERENT. HE USED
TO BE DEAF, SO HE KINDA TALKED LIKE...
- SOME KIDS CALLED HIM "RETARD."
- TUCKER,
PLEASE DON'T SAY "RETARD."
I NEVER CALLED HIM THAT. HE WENT TO CHURCH
EVERY SUNDAY EVEN THOUGH NOBODY MADE HIM GO.
PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT WAS WEIRD.
DID NESTOR HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?
HE SAID THERE WAS A GIRL HE
LIKED, BUT HE NEVER TOLD ME WHO.
- YOU KNOW, TUCKER, YOU'RE
LYING TO A FEDERAL AGENT.
- CAREFUL, AGENT BOOTH.
AN E-MAIL WAS SENT TO NESTOR'S PARENTS FROM NOVA
SCOTIA SAYING WHAT A GREAT TIME HE WAS HAVING.
THE ONLY THING IS THAT
NESTOR WAS ALREADY DEAD.
- WAS IT YOU, TUCKER?
- I'D PREFER HE DIDN'T ANSWER.
NO, DAWN. IF IT WAS
TUCKER, HE HAS TO ADMIT IT.
YOU KNOW THE DODGE. YOU BACKED
HIM UP SO HE COULD BE WITH A GIRL.
TUCKER! I KNOW! I'M
SORRY. BUT HE BEGGED ME.
WHAT GIRL?
I TOLD YOU, I DON'T KNOW! I
THOUGHT NESTOR MADE HER UP.
I SENT AN E-MAIL. THAT'S ALL.
DR. BRENNAN, CAN YOU SPARE A MOMENT
FOR THE VENEZUELAN AMBASSADOR?
THANK YOU.
IS THERE SOMETHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU?
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE VERY
GOOD AT YOUR JOB, DR. BRENNAN.
BUT I THINK THAT YOU ARE
NOT A MOTHER, CORRECT?
NO, I'M NOT A MOTHER.
PLEASE WATCH THIS.
ALL A MOTHER WANTS
TO KNOW IS THAT...
SHE HAS RAISED HER CHILD WELL,
AND HE WILL GROW
UP TO BE A GOOD MAN.
I WILL NEVER SEE THIS.
I WILL NEVER KNOW.
THE DAY NESTOR
RECEIVED HIS IMPLANT.
NESTOR.
- THE FIRST DAY HE COULD HEAR.
- AND THE FIRST THING
HE HEARD WAS MY VOICE.
HIS MOTHER'S VOICE. I
TOLD HIM I LOVED HIM.
THE CHILD WHO HAS LIVED THROUGH THIS
MIRACLE WOULD NEVER TAKE HIS OWN LIFE.
YOU'RE A SCIENTIST.
YOU NEED MORE THAN A
MOTHER'S REASSURANCE. FINE.
MY HUSBAND AND I
HAVE MANY ENEMIES.
THAT IS WHY I SENT
NESTOR TO HANOVER.
THEY PROMISED US
THAT HE WOULD BE SAFE.
WHAT IF THEY FAILED? THEY
WOULD NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT.
THEY WOULD DO EVERYTHING THEY
COULD TO BIAS YOU TOWARD SUICIDE.
I PROMISE YOU, I WILL
FIND OUT THE TRUTH.
THANK YOU.
SWAN DIVE, CANNONBALL,
CHERRY BOMB...
NO MATTER HOW HE JUMPS,
THE HYOID DOES NOT BREAK.
WHAT ABOUT ADDED WEIGHT?
WE FIGURE AN ADDED STRAIN
OF 90 KILOS TO SNAP THE HYOID.
90 KILOS IS JUST UNDER 200 POUNDS.
THE WEIGHT OF A MUSCULAR MAN.
OH, BOY. THE VENEZUELAN HIT SQUAD
FANTASY THING? FOR ONE THING, IT'S NUTS.
AND ANOTHER, THE GUY'D
HAVE TO BE ABOUT 20 FEET TALL.
I'M OUT OF ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS
TO EXPLAIN THIS HYOID BREAK.
I WANNA TAKE ANOTHER
LOOK AT NESTOR'S ROOM.
WHAT EXACTLY DO
YOU HOPE TO FIND?
STAY HERE. YEAH, RIGHT.
THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
- YOU ALL RIGHT?
- ARE YOU?
CHECK HIS I.D.
HIS NAME'S TOVAR COMARA. HE'S
SECURITY AT THE VENEZUELAN EMBASSY.
IF HE'S SECURITY, WHY'D HE RUN?
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS WHAT
SENOR COMARA WAS DOING IN NESTOR'S ROOM.
I ASKED SENOR COMARA TO GO TO
NESTOR'S ROOM TO PROVE A POINT...
THAT SUICIDE WAS NOT
THE ONLY POSSIBILITY.
PROVE THAT AN OUTSIDER
CAN GET TO YOUR SON?
THE SCHOOL INFORMED ME THAT NESTOR'S
DEATH WAS MOST CERTAINLY A SUICIDE,
THAT ANYTHING
ELSE WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
WE PROVED THEM CORRECT. I FAILED
TO ESCAPE WITHOUT BEING DETECTED.
THE SCHOOL LIED TO
YOU, AMBASSADOR.
DR. BRENNAN ALREADY DECLARED
YOUR SON'S DEATH A HOMICIDE.
I APOLOGIZE. I WAS MISINFORMED.
- I WON'T BE PRESSING
ANY CHARGES.
- THANK YOU.
PLEASE EXCUSE ME.
DO YOU THINK NESTOR
WAS KILLED BY OUTSIDERS?
NOT VENEZUELAN INSURGENTS.
THEY WOULD MAKE A
STATEMENT, NOT FAKE A SUICIDE.
THIS HANGING...
HMM.
SURE, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE SAYS, YOU
KNOW, "IT SMELLS" IN A SPANISH ACCENT,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU'RE,
LIKE, "HMM. INTERESTING."
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
TALKED TO NESTOR'S TEACHERS, THE
FEW STUDENTS THAT HE HUNG OUT WITH.
HE WAS A LONER. WELL, I
MEAN, HE WENT TO HIS CLASSES.
BUT, YOU KNOW, MAINLY, HE
JUST STAYED HERE IN HIS ROOM.
THAT'S IT. SO I FIGURED,
YOU KNOW, WE'D COME HERE,
AND YOU DO YOUR LITTLE
ANTHROPOLOGIST THING, HUH?
OKAY.
HE LIKED MUSIC.
HEAVY PERCUSSION,
LOW FREQUENCIES
FOR THE MOST PART.
IT'S THE STUFF HE PROBABLY
LIKED BEFORE THE IMPLANT.
HE COULD FEEL THE
VIBRATIONS IN HIS CHEST.
AFTER THE IMPLANT, HE STARTED
ENJOYING STUFF WITH MORE MELODY.
HE WAS GROWING.
HE ENJOYED IT.
ENJOYMENT IS THE
OPPOSITE OF SUICIDE.
YOU'VE DECIDED THIS ISN'T A SUICIDE, SO
YOU'RE COLLECTING EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT.
BY CLOSING YOUR MIND, YOU'RE
MISSING IMPORTANT INDICATORS.
YEAH? SO THEN WHY'D HE THROW THIS
AWAY? I MEAN, HEY, IT'S FLUTE MUSIC.
THAT'S REASON ENOUGH.
BUT WHERE'S THE CASE?
UM...
THESE AREN'T ORGANIZED. WELL, YOU
KNOW, GIRLS, THEY ORGANIZE ALPHABETICALLY.
GUYS ARE MORE ORGANIC, YOU
KNOW? GOOD STUFF UP TO THE LEFT,
CRAP...
BOTTOM RIGHT.
LOOK AT THAT. WHAT?
I MEAN, IF HE HATED
IT, WHY'D HE REBURN IT?
THIS ISN'T A CD. IT'S A DVD.
I SHOULD'VE KNOWN.
IT'S A 15-YEAR-OLD BOY.
IT'S JUST PORN. WAIT.
- THAT'S OUR HANGING VICTIM.
- THIS IS PRETTY KINKY STUFF.
I NEED TO KNOW WHERE AND WHEN IT WAS SHOT, WHAT
KIND OF CAMERA, ANYTHING ELSE THAT MIGHT HELP.
I'M GONNA NEED STILLS AND A
CLOSE-UP OF THE GIRL'S FACE.
OH! THANKS A LOT, BOOTH.
MY SEVEN-ORGAN SOUP
IS REPEATING ON ME.
WELL, YOU ORDERED IT.
YOU SHOULD'VE LEFT IT TO SID.
LET'S SEE WHAT THE SCHOOL
HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS.
THAT WAS NOT WILD AND KINKY SEX.
IT WAS VERY, VERY
BASIC BEGINNER STUFF.
JUST SO YOU KNOW. OH!
ANGELA, YOU GOT ANY BICARBONATE?
WE'VE SEEN THIS
KIND OF THING BEFORE.
KIDS RECORDING
THEMSELVES HAVING SEX?
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE MORE JADED THAN THEY USED
TO BE. SOMETIMES THEY SWAP THESE TAPES.
- I'M SURPRISED TO SEE NESTOR.
- BUT NOT SO SURPRISED
TO SEE THE GIRL?
- HOW IS THAT RELEVANT?
- YOU KNOW WHAT'S
A BETTER QUESTION?
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU
GET TO DECIDE WHAT'S RELEVANT?
YOU'RE BASICALLY A
PRINCIPAL OF A HIGH SCHOOL.
- WE NEED TO SEE ALL
THE SEX TAPES YOU CONFISCATED.
- ABSOLUTELY NOT.
WELL, I'LL JUST GET A WARRANT. AND
IN THE APPLICATION FOR A WARRANT,
I'LL INCLUDE YOUR ADMISSION THAT YOU ALLOW
YOUR STUDENTS TO SWAP HOMEMADE SEX TAPES.
THE HEADMASTER IS NOT REFUSING
TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE TAPES.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT"
SOUNDS LIKE A REFUSAL.
WHEN WE CONFISCATE THE TAPES, WE IMMEDIATELY
TURN THEM OVER TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
- SHERIFF ROACH KNEW ABOUT THIS?
- NO NEED TO ISSUE A WARRANT. WE'RE COOPERATING COMPLETELY.
WAS THE GIRL ALSO
A STUDENT HERE?
GIVEN YOUR HOSTILITY, IT'S TIME
WE BRING IN A LAWYER TO ADVISE US.
OR YOU TAKE MY ADVICE. IF YOU
DON'T ANSWER MY QUESTIONS,
I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN TO F.B.I.
HEADQUARTERS IN HANDCUFFS.
HE'LL DO IT. HE
DOESN'T LIKE YOU.
HER NAME IS CAMDEN DESTRY.
NESTOR OLIVOS? I KNEW HIM.
HE'S KIND OF FAMOUS
SINCE HE DIED.
POOR KID. TO TAKE HIS OWN LIFE.
WERE YOU ROMANTICALLY
INVOLVED? NO.
CAMDEN IS TOO YOUNG
TO DATE SERIOUSLY.
TELL ME WHEN YOU'VE SEEN
ENOUGH TO START TELLING THE TRUTH.
- THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS, AGENT BOOTH.
- OH, MY GOD.
I can't believe this.
OH, MY GOD. WHERE
DID THAT COME FROM?
- REALLY, MR. BOOTH,
I MUST PROTEST.
- I'M TIRED OF BEING LIED TO.
SO EXCUSE ME IF I'M INDELICATE.
LET'S START OVER, SHALL WE?
DID YOU KNOW NESTOR OLIVOS?
WERE YOU ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED?
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
WHY WOULD NESTOR TAPE US?
I LOVED HIM.
SO LET ME JUST GET THIS RIGHT. I'M
THE TACTLESS AND INSENSITIVE ONE?
THE GIRL LIED TO A FEDERAL
AGENT DURING THE INVESTIGATION...
OF THE DEATH OF A BOY
THAT SHE SAID SHE LOVES.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THESE KIDS, THEY ALL LIE.
THAT SCHOOL TEACHES THEM THAT THEY'RE
SPECIAL, THAT THEY'RE ABOVE THE REST OF US.
WELL, THEY'RE NOT. YOU'RE THE
LEAST SUBJECTIVE PERSON I'VE EVER MET.
THANK YOU. IT'S
NOT A COMPLIMENT.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING'S WRONG HERE, RIGHT?
THE SCHOOL, THE TAPES. NOW SHERIFF ROACH.
ALL THIS MESS YOU'RE
UNCOVERING, IT SMELLS, YES,
BUT IT DOESN'T ADD UP
TO MURDER, NOT LOGICALLY.
MAYBE IF YOU LOOKED FOR MORE THAN THE
FACTS, YOU'D BE ABLE TO SEE THE BIG PICTURE.
MAYBE IF YOU OPENED YOUR MIND,
WE COULD FIND OUT THE ACTUAL TRUTH.
BROUGHT YOU THE TAPES. HOW MANY?
ALL OF 'EM. WHAT DO YOU
THINK, I'M WITHHOLDING EVIDENCE?
I'M THINKING HANOVER
PREP GETS YOU ELECTED,
AND YOU LOOK THE OTHER
WAY WHEN YOU SEE THESE TAPES.
KIDS HAVING SEX? THERE'S
NO LAW AGAINST THAT.
LET'S HOPE THAT'S THE
WORST THING THAT WE FIND.
YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THE
SCHOOL SERVING PUDDING.
"STIRRING THE PUDDING." IT
MEANS... MELODEE DESTRY.
THAT'S... THAT'S
CAMDEN'S MOTHER.
IS THAT... IS THAT NESTOR
OLIVOS SHE'S WITH?
NOPE.
THAT'S NESTOR'S
ROOMMATE, TUCKER PATTISON.
HOW LONG DID THE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP
CONTINUE? COUPLE OF MONTHS. I DON'T KNOW.
- TUCKER IS THE UNDERAGE
VICTIM OF STATUTORY RAPE.
- WHEN DID IT END?
- THAT WAS THE LAST TIME.
- WHY NESTOR'S BED? WHY NOT YOUR OWN?
- I DON'T KNOW.
- IT WAS BECAUSE YOU KNEW EXACTLY
WHERE THE CAMERA WAS POINTED.
MRS. DESTRY GAVE ME MONEY, YOU
KNOW, TO KEEP QUIET. NESTOR SAID,
"HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK SHE'D PAY TO
KEEP HER HUSBAND FROM SEEING A TAPE?"
NESTOR SET UP A
DROP AND GOT $5,000.
HE SAID WE SHOULD DO IT
AGAIN, BUT JUST BEFORE VACATION.
I TOLD HIM THAT I WAS
GONNA TELL MY PARENTS,
EVEN IF IT MEANT GETTING
KICKED OUT OF HANOVER.
NEXT THING I KNOW,
HE KILLED HIMSELF.
I FIGURED IT WAS MY FAULT.
TABANID PUPAL CASINGS SHOW THE BOY INGESTED
A HEAVY DOSE OF KETAMINE BEFORE HE DIED.
KIDS CALL IT SPECIAL "K."
SOMEBODY DOSED HIM, RIGHT?
THAT EXPLAINS WHY HE WASN'T
STRUGGLING DURING THE HANGING.
OR, WILD THOUGHT, HE TOOK IT
HIMSELF FOR FUN LIKE MOST KIDS DO.
I HAD SEX WITH NAOMI
IN PALEONTOLOGY.
YOU MEAN ACTUALLY
IN PALEONTOLOGY? NO!
AT HER PLACE. I THOUGHT IT WENT
GREAT, BUT I COULD BE WRONG.
BECAUSE APPARENTLY, WHAT I
THINK IS WILD AND KINKY IS JUST BASIC.
AND SINCE SHE NEVER
CALLED ME BACK,
I'M WONDERING IF IT'S BECAUSE
I LACK IMAGINATION IN THE SACK.
YOU KNOW WHAT, ZACK? I'M THINKING
THIS IS MORE OF A GUY-GUY CONVERSATION.
YEAH. I WAS WONDERING.
DUDE, MINTY BURP IS STILL BURP.
YEAH, WELL, WHO TOOK
ME TO WONG SALMONELLAS?
ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW
WHAT? JUST GO BACK TO SID.
LET HIM BRING YOU YOUR MEAL,
THE HEARTBURN WILL DISAPPEAR.
- HEARTBURN!
- WHAT?
HODGINS HAS HEARTBURN BECAUSE
STOMACH ACID IS RISING INTO HIS ESOPHAGUS.
THE KETAMINE PLUS CHOKING COULD'VE
CAUSED NESTOR TO REGURGITATE.
THE ROPE WOULD HOLD THE GASTRIC JUICES
IN THE UPPER THROAT AND WEAKEN THE HYOID.
DIGESTIVE JUICES ARE
BASICALLY HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
SOMETIME WHEN YOU'RE NOT BUSY,
I WONDER IF I COULD ASK YOU A FEW
QUESTIONS ABOUT SEXUAL POSITIONS?
IF YOU EVEN TRY, I WILL TAKE OUT MY
GUN AND SHOOT YOU BETWEEN THE EYES.
THESE MARKS HERE AND HERE... THAT'S
SCORING CONSISTENT WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
I DON'T LIKE WHERE
YOU'RE GOING WITH THIS.
I NEED TO RUN A FEW SCENARIOS
THROUGH THE "ANGELATOR."
REPLACE THE VALUES FOR THE HYOID
BONE MASS WITH THESE SLIDING COEFFICIENTS.
THAT WILL REPLICATE
BONE DETERIORATION...
AS THE HYOID IS BEING
DIGESTED BY STOMACH ACID.
I'M APPLYING A TIMELINE AND
RUNNING IN FAST-FORWARD.
THIS WILL SHOW IT
IN MEASURED TIME.
THE BODY DECOMPOSES,
AND THE GASTRIC JUICES...
TRAPPED BY THE NOOSE IN NESTOR'S ESOPHAGUS
ACTUALLY DIGEST THE HYOID OVER TIME.
WAIT... THERE. THE
HYOID CRACKED.
196.3 HOURS.
JUST OVER EIGHT DAYS.
THIS FINDING IS
CONGRUENT WITH SUICIDE.
I DO NOT ACCEPT
THAT. IT'S A FACT.
YOU CAN'T NOT ACCEPT A FACT. I HAVE
TO AMEND MY CAUSE OF DEATH REPORT.
THEN YOU'LL STOP MY INVESTIGATION. THE
SCHOOL'S TRYING TO COVER UP A MURDER,
AND YOU'RE HELPING THEM.
HONEY?
DID YOU EVER JUST BELIEVE
SOMETHING DESPITE THE EVIDENCE?
JUST KNOW IT WAS TRUE? NO.
I'VE HOPED THINGS.
BUT I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOPE AND FACT.
YOU KNOW, ALL THAT'S LEFT OF
THIS BOY IS A TABLE FULL OF BONES.
NOW EVERYONE HE'S EVER
KNOWN HAS AN AGENDA...
HIS PARENTS, HIS SCHOOL, EVEN
THE COP INVESTIGATING HIS DEATH.
YOU KNOW, I'M THE ONLY ONE
WHO CARES ABOUT THE TRUTH...
OF WHAT NESTOR'S LIFE CAME
TO IN THE END, GOOD OR BAD.
AND I KNOW THE TRUTH IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
YOU KNOW, OR YOU HOPE IT'S TRUE?
SUICIDE IS THE MOST
RATIONAL, LOGICAL EXPLANATION.
WHAT I BELIEVE DOESN'T MATTER.
WHAT MAKES ME
SAD DOESN'T MATTER.
LOOK AT THIS FACE.
HE DID NOT KILL HIMSELF.
ANGELA, I NEED A LITTLE MORE
PROOF THAN A NICE DRAWING.
I CAN DO THAT.
THIS IS NOT FROM THE DVD. IT'S A QUICK
SNIPPET THAT WAS ON NESTOR'S HARD DRIVE.
SOMEBODY TRIED TO ERASE IT,
BUT ZACK AND I GOT SOME OF IT BACK.
ANGELA, ZOOM IN
ON THAT NECKLACE.
A LITTLE SEA HORSE? COME ON.
WHAT KIND OF
BLACKMAILER DOES THAT?
IT'S SWEET. IT'S A
CLUELESS KID IN LOVE.
THAT'S YOUR EVIDENCE THAT HE
DIDN'T COMMIT SUICIDE? A SEA HORSE?
A KID DOESN'T GIVE A GIFT
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, HE'S IN LOVE.
- HE DOES IT BECAUSE
HE WANTS A LITTLE LOVING.
- RERUN THAT.
THAT CYNICISM YOU AFFECT, BOOTH,
IT'S YOUR WAY OF HIDING A
DEEPLY ROMANTIC NATURE. THERE.
STOP. PLAY AGAIN.
- THERE. SHE ROLLED HER EYES
FOR THE CAMERA.
- WHAT?
- NO. I DIDN'T SEE IT EITHER.
- PLAY IT IN STOP-MOTION.
ZOOM IN. THERE.
SLOW MOTION.
- HOW'D YOU SEE THAT?
- WAIT. THAT GIRL KNEW
THE CAMERA WAS THERE.
SHE LOOKED RIGHT AT IT. CAMDEN
ISN'T A VICTIM. SHE'S IN ON IT.
YOU DON'T ROLL YOUR EYES TO YOURSELF. YOU
DO THAT FOR SOMEONE ELSE, NOT NESTOR OLIVOS.
- WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
- THIS IS WHERE A PUBLIC SCHOOL
EDUCATION COMES IN HANDY.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER WAS
THE PLAYGROUND MOTTO.
WHAT WOULD HELP ME, CAMDEN, IS IF
YOU TOLD ME WHY NESTOR KILLED HIMSELF.
THEN WE CAN CLOSE THE
MURDER INVESTIGATION.
- WHY IS TUCKER HERE?
- TUCKER... HE SAID SOME THINGS.
- WHAT THINGS?
- WELL, WHAT TUCKER TOLD US
DOESN'T MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD.
I BELIEVE HIM, BUT AGENT BOOTH SAYS
IT WAS ONLY FAIR TO HEAR YOUR SIDE.
IF YOUR STORIES MATCH UP, I'LL BE
ABLE TO DROP THE MURDER INVESTIGATION.
YOU KNOW, I FIND
IT HARD TO BELIEVE...
THAT IT WAS YOUR IDEA FOR
TUCKER TO SEDUCE YOUR MOTHER.
- IT WASN'T. SHE HIT ON TUCKER.
- NO, WAIT. WAIT.
CAN THEY DO THIS? THEY'RE
FISHING. DON'T SAY A WORD.
- I WASN'T FISHING. WERE YOU FISHING?
- I WASN'T FISHING.
TUCKER WAS ALL "STACEY'S MOM" ABOUT
IT. I JUST SORT OF GAVE HIM PERMISSION.
- IT WAS FUNNY.
- PLEASE STOP THIS. STOP IT!
MOM, DEAL WITH IT, OKAY? YOU'RE
THE ONE THAT'S THE PERV, SO...
WHEN MY MOM GAVE TUCKER
MONEY TO KEEP HIM QUIET,
WE GOT THE IDEA TO
BLACKMAIL HER WITH THE TAPE.
I WAS MAD AT HER, I GUESS.
THEN TUCKER SAID IT WAS MY TURN.
NESTOR WAS RICH, LONELY,
CATHOLIC, AND HE HAD A THING FOR YOU.
AND HE WAS CUTE.
PEOPLE DIDN'T NOTICE...
BECAUSE OF THE WAY HE
TALKED, BUT HE WAS REALLY CUTE.
I LIKED HIM.
WE MADE THE TAPE AND
SHOWED IT TO NESTOR.
IT MADE HIM REALLY
UPSET. REALLY UPSET.
- BECAUSE YOU THREATENED
TO SHOW IT TO HIS MOTHER?
- OR BECAUSE I BROKE HIS HEART.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
HE KILLED HIMSELF.
I'M REALLY SORRY HE DID THAT.
WHAT CAMDEN DID WAS WRONG,
WHICH SHE'S ACKNOWLEDGED.
BUT SHE CAN'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR AN UNSTABLE BOY'S OVERREACTION.
- I SAID I'M SORRY.
- YEAH.
CAMDEN DESTRY, I'M PLACING YOU UNDER
ARREST FOR THE MURDER OF NESTOR OLIVOS.
SHE'S ADMITTED TO BLACKMAIL AND
ATTEMPTED BLACKMAIL. THAT'S ALL.
NESTOR WAS GOING TO GO TO
THE HEADMASTER AND EXPOSE YOU,
SO YOU DOSED HIM WITH KETAMINE
AND HAULED HIM UP INTO THE TREE.
THE D.N.A. TRACES IN THE
ROPE WILL PROVE THAT.
PLUS, YOU'VE ALREADY
CONFESSED TO THE MOTIVE.
IF I COOPERATE AND TELL YOU EVERYTHING
TUCKER DID, DO I GET SOME SORT OF DEAL?
THAT DEPENDS ON
WHAT ELSE YOU GOT.
THE HEADMASTER AND
THE HEAD OF SECURITY...
WILL BOTH LOSE THEIR JOBS
OVER WHAT HAPPENED TO NESTOR.
THE SHERIFF WILL RESIGN.
THE TWO KIDS WHO KILLED
YOUR SON ARE BOTH IN CUSTODY.
THANK YOU. WE'RE VERY
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
AMBASSADOR OLIVOS?
YOU TOLD ME THAT ALL A
MOTHER WANTS IS TO KNOW...
THAT SHE'S RAISED
HER CHILD WELL,
THAT YOUR BIGGEST REGRET
IS THAT YOU'LL NEVER KNOW...
IF NESTOR WOULD'VE
GROWN UP TO BE A GOOD MAN.
BUT HE WAS A GOOD MAN.
HE DIED BECAUSE HE WAS
TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
VERY IMPRESSIVE, TEMPERANCE.
GOT THAT ONE RIGHT.
RIGHT THIS WAY.
WHEN YOU'RE WITH SOMEONE, THE
GYMNASTICS AREN'T WHAT MATTER.
IT'S WHO YOU ARE. IT'S
IN YOUR INTENTIONS...
AND HOW MUCH YOU CARE
ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON.
IF YOU DON'T WANNA
HELP ME, JUST SAY SO.
ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA
LET YOU IN ON A SECRET.
THIS IS A FEMALE SECRET.
GO TO NAOMI AND TELL HER THAT YOU
DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LOVEMAKING.
SEX, YEAH. LOVEMAKING...
YOU'RE A BLANK SLATE.
YOU'LL DO ANYTHING SHE WANTS IF SHE JUST
INTRODUCES YOU TO THE SECRETS OF LOVE.
SHE'LL BE MORE INTERESTED IN THAT THAN IF YOU
WERE THE MOST IMAGINATIVE LOVER ON THE PLANET.
THAT IS TOTALLY
COUNTERINTUITIVE.
JUST DO IT, Z-MAN. REAP THE
BENEFITS OF MY SEXUAL WISDOM.
OH, NO. THIS ISN'T GONNA WORK.
I MEAN, THIS IS MY PLACE. SID?
AS LONG AS THEY KEEP
IT DOWN ON THE SUBJECT...
OF ROTTEN CORPSES AND BODILY
FLUIDS, I HAVE NO BEEF AT ALL.
OKAY, THAT IS AMAZING.
I HAD HEARTBURN.
I ASKED SID TO BRING ME SOMETHING,
AND NOW THE HEARTBURN'S GONE.
I MEAN, IT'S GONE.
MAN, I LOVE THIS PLACE.
OKAY, FINE. NEW RULES.
THAT COUNTER IS MINE.
THAT BOOTH IS YOURS.
EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND
HERE, ALL RIGHT, IS MINE.
ALL RIGHT? MINE. M-I-N-E. MINE.
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOUR
WHOLE "SOMETHING STINKS" APTITUDE.
OH, YEAH?
I THINK YOU HAVE A SUBCONSCIOUS
KNACK FOR READING BODY LANGUAGE.
STRESS IN THE VOICE, OTHER
SUBTLE YET DISCERNABLE INDICATORS.
IT'S NOT MYSTERIOUS, BUT IT IS
IMPRESSIVE. AND IN THE FUTURE,
I WILL TRY TO ACCORD IT AN
APPROPRIATE DEGREE OF OBJECTIVE WORTH.
THANK YOU, TEMPERANCE.
I APPRECIATE THAT. SO, UH,
WHAT PART OF "THIS IS MINE"
DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
DO I HAVE TO SAY IT IN LATIN?
HMM?
NICE.
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
