Bones (2005–2017): Season 12, Episode 12 - The End in the End - full transcript

BOOTH: It's Mark
Kovac. This is our guy.

It says here the General Josef
Radic was shot at long range

during his son's sixth birthday.

Did you kill my
father, Agent Booth?

CAROLINE: There's
been a shooting.

It was the safe house where
we put Max and the kids.

I just got a location
for Kovac's phone.

It's in a moving
car headed south.

The FBI already
dispatched a SWAT unit.

This is revenge.

They won't be satisfied
until they kill him.



We gotta get everybody
out of here. The bomb is here.

I know how to find Kovac.
Forget about the evidence.

I have to get you
somewhere safe.

CAM: The door. It's closing.

HODGINS: Booth, did you find it?

ANGELA: What is happening?
Bomb's on electronic repeater.

Which means there's
more than one. Angie!

Bones, where are you?

(EXPLOSIONS)

(BROKEN GLASS CLINKING)

Angela.

(GRUNTS)

Angela! Angie!

I'm here, I'm here.



(COUGHING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Oh, God.

Bones.

It's okay, baby.

The baby! Angela, the baby.

I don't... I don't know,
I don't... I don't know.

Oh, God.

Bones! Bones!

Booth! Booth!

Bones!

Bones! She was right here.

Bones! Booth.

We're here!

Bones!

NEWS REPORTER: Breaking news.
There's been a massive explosion

in mid-city Washington.

Confirmed reports
place the blast

in the Jeffersonian Institution.

Reports indicate a series
of explosions... Come on.

Aubrey!

I still can't reach Booth.

And he was going to the lab?

That's what he told me.
I gotta get down there.

I'll make sure these
sweet little angels stay safe.

You make sure you
bring their parents back!

Booth. Booth.

HODGINS: Dr. B!

Brennan!

Bones!

Brennan!

Bones!

AUBREY: I'm hearing that
both entrances collapsed.

They're completely
filled with rubble.

CAROLINE: Man,
this is worse than bad.

We can't make contact.

First responders say it's gonna
take hours to dig their way in.

Well, make them work faster.

Okay, listen,
Caroline, there's more.

I just got word from the
team that went after Kovac...

Please tell me
that son of a bitch

is either dead or in custody.

And if I have a choice,
I'd choose dead.

Yeah, well, I'm
afraid it's neither.

The phone was a decoy, okay?

It was taped to the
bottom of a delivery van.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

NEWS REPORTER: And there
are lots of employees inside...

Bones.

HODGINS: Booth,
do you have anything?

I got nothing yet.

Bones!

(METAL CRASHING)

Oh, my God.

Right. Damn it.

(GRUNTS)

All right, all right.

(GASPING AND BREATHING HEAVILY)

Easy, I got you.

Right here. Stay with
me. Stay with me. Bones.

There you are.
That's it, open up.

Open your eyes, let me see you.

I'm right here. Wake
up, Bones. Wake up.

Temperance, stay
with me. There you are.

Right here. Bones!

(COUGHS)

Okay, all right. Okay.

ARASTOO: Aubrey!

Hey, where are the others?

They're still inside.

We tried to go
back and get them,

but Search and
Rescue wouldn't let us in.

Cam, there's nothing
else we could do.

We can only hope
they all got to safety.

I've been trying to
call, I've no answer yet.

Maybe if you... I
tried too, nothing.

That doesn't mean anything.

The signal's
probably knocked out.

Right.

Right.

(SIRENS WAILING)

Argh. Are Christine
and Hank okay?

No, no, hold on.
Just don't move.

They're safe, they're safe.

They're back at the
FBI where they're safe.

(COUGHS)

Argh... (EXHALES SHARPLY)

I feel different.

Well, that was a huge explosion.

Three bombs, maybe more.

HODGINS: If Booth hadn't defused

the one under the
platform, we'd all be dead.

Cam and Arastoo got out
and they're going to bring help.

I was looking at
some... What was that?

It doesn't matter,
Bones. No, Booth,

this is important, I need to...

(EXHALES)

I... What was I doing
before the explosion?

I think you were in your office.

What are we working on?

We were working on
Fred Walden's remains.

He's a prisoner that
escaped with Kovac.

Something about Kovac.
You know how to find him.

What is it?

Femur, scapula, ulna, mandible.

I don't know what that means.

Yes. Yes, you do. They're bones.

I know. I just don't
understand their significance.

Well, it doesn't matter.
You'll figure it out later...

No, Booth, something
is wrong with me.

(EXHALING SHARPLY)

(OPENING THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

You gotta be kidding. Damn it.

Front and back exits are
both completely blocked.

It would take hours
to clear a path.

There's gotta be another
way. You saw Dr. Brennan, I...

I gotta get her out of here.

Is there any other
exits or anything?

Listen, other than
the basement access,

these are the only
two exits in the lab.

Ironically, for safety.
I'm not buying that.

Okay, there's got to
be something else.

A ventilation shaft,
a heating duct,

there's got to be
something. Think.

Booth, a bomb went off in one
of the biggest public institutions

in all of DC, all right?

Rescue teams have gotta
already be on their way.

All right, listen, I'm sorry,
but do you hear anything?

'Cause I don't. I don't hear any
drilling or any rescue attempts.

So, come on, let's go.
Help me with this stuff.

Damn it.

Hodgins and Booth are
trying to find a way out.

And I managed to
score us some water

from one of the tech stations.

BRENNAN: What are those for?

Oh, ah, Hodgins says
that a stethoscope

and a beaker used together

are almost as accurate
as a fetal Doppler, so...

Really?

Yeah, you taught him that.

Okay, lie down.

He said you put the
stethoscope under the beaker

and it amplifies the sound.

(BRENNAN SIGHS DEEPLY)

Anything?

This is not the
appropriate device.

I... I'm not a medical doctor.

I'm not processing
with my usual...

So you're saying
you can't find a...

No, not yet.

What?

What is it?

Listen.

(HEART BEATING)

(EXHALES)

What is that? It's
the other bomb.

I thought you defused it.

Yeah, well, I did,
but you know what?

Maybe we can use
it to spark it back up

and blow ourselves right
out of this wall, right here.

Come on. Come over here
and help me get this going.

Yeah, I would love nothing more

but unfortunately this building

is not gonna
survive another blast.

Stop! Do you
understand me? Stop.

You saw Bones. She's had
some kind of a head trauma.

She could be
bleeding in the brain.

I watched my pregnant wife

get thrown against
the wall, all right?

You're not the only one
who wants to get out of here.

Then come on over here,
help me get this thing going.

You're not listening,
Booth! It's too risky!

You were trained in
munitions, you know this.

You don't have to be a hero.

(LID CLOSING)

I don't need a shrink right now,

you understand me? I just...

I just gotta get out of here.

(INHALES)

Listen. (CLEARS THROAT)

Booth, I...

I know I've said a lot of things

over the years about
you being a sniper.

I was wrong.

Killing Kovac's father,

that was the right thing to do.

(MACHINE WHIRRING)

You hear that?

Hey! We're in here!

(BANGING)

(BREAKING GLASS AND CRASHING)

MAN: Search and
Fire, anyone in here?

MAN 2: Anybody hurt?

MAN 1: I see somebody.
MAN 2: We got movement.

Hey!

(INDISTINCT VOICES)

Hey, hey, hey! Cam, look.

Oh, my...

Thank God you're alive.

Hank and Christine?

They're safe. They're at the FBI

with Caroline till we get Kovac.

Which means you
don't have him yet.

RESCUE WORKER:
You need to sit down.

WOMAN: He was right next to me.

RESCUE WORKER: Just sit
down, they'll take a good look at you...

I'm happy the
little guy is okay.

How do you know it's a guy?

I just got a feeling.

Okay, Dr. Brennan,
close your eyes.

Now I'm gonna touch
one of your fingers,

and you try to touch the
corresponding finger on your other hand

with your thumb? Okay?

So I'm just gonna
go over some results

with the neurologist
and be right back.

Bones, what's going on?

I don't know.

What do you mean,
you don't know?

What did he say?
What did the doctor say?

I don't... I don't know.

Cam, what's going on?

Good news is the CT shows
there's no internal bleeding.

But?

You have a contusion
on your corpus callosum.

That's the structure that allows

the two hemispheres of
the brain to communicate.

So what does that mean exactly?

It means Brennan's memories
haven't been compromised,

but rather her ability to
process complex information.

I have to get back to work.

Dr. Vaziri, stay close
in case I need anything.

No way, you need to rest.

No, Booth, the key to
catching Kovac is inside that lab.

The longer we're out here,

the more time he has
to plan his next move.

I need to get into
the bone room.

So what's the big plan?

These four bones are
the key to catching Kovac.

I'll start there.

Okay, easy coming in. All
right, guys, thanks. Let's go.

Move through it.

You're kidding me.

Oh.

Oh.

BRENNAN: The blast emptied
out all the bone storage drawers.

It appears I'll need
Dr. Vaziri's help.

Not just Arastoo.

You're gonna need all
the help that you can get.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, I came as soon as I
heard. Is Dr. Brennan okay?

We just gotta wait. You know,
right? The lab is... It's a mess.

But it's usable,
she's there now.

Well, if there's
anything I can do.

There is. We still got a killer

and his bomb-happy
accomplice to find.

Kovac had an accomplice?

Well, he was in prison
two nights ago, right?

So he didn't set up those bombs.

What about security
inside the Jeffersonian?

No, everything between 2:00
and 3:00 a.m. has been deleted.

This guy is methodical.

Which means it's high time we all
consider joining Aubrey in Los Angeles.

Maybe Judge Tooney
needs a prosecutor.

There's no way I'm running.

Tell you what, you
get Kovac's ex-wife.

No, you think she's
involved with this?

I saw her interview tape.
She looked terrified of him.

Well, she's still our
best link to finding him.

HODGINS: Oh, wow.

This is... This is
definitely not good.

Yeah. My servers are
completely destroyed.

But you have backups, right?

I mean, you've uploaded
everything into the cloud.

You've been lecturing
me endlessly for years

about how the
cloud isn't secure.

Wait a minute,
you listened to me?

Angela, I'm a known
paranoid conspiracy theorist.

I did. That's why I brought...

This.

What's... What's with the key?

What is that, Angie?

You know those black
box recorders on airplanes?

This is my version.

It's a steel frame
box with layers

of paraffin and
insulation inside.

And it contains
a full backup copy

of every file in this lab.

You did listen to me.

Don't let it go to your head.

We should get to work.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Dr. Brennan.

Look at the sternal rib
end. The bone is smooth,

but the contour is indented

which means age is
between 20 and 29.

Same as our victim.

Yes, good work,
Ms. Warren, I concur.

Except, look, it's also sharp
with irregular projections.

I don't remember
what that means.

It's okay. It just means

that this rib doesn't
belong to our victim.

This is impossible.

There must be at least 200
different sets of remains on the floor.

It's like excavating
a mass grave.

No, Mr. Bray. I can assure you,

this is nothing compared
to a mass burial site.

In Guatemala, in Coban, I helped
exhume over 500 sets of remains.

All innocent victims
of their civil war.

Their wrists still tied,
blindfolds over their eyes.

Well, I'm sorry, Dr. Brennan.

What a horrible
thing to witness.

You remember that so clearly.

Does that mean
you're doing better?

I don't know.

I do remember things.

I remember watching
Cam propose to you.

How happy you looked.

I remember that you used to
carry a cigarette behind your ear

to remind you of your father.

I remember how proud you were
when your book was published.

Even though I found it
to be rather mawkish.

I remember you
teaching me how to chirp.

Tweet. Tweet.

And I remember fighting off
attackers with you by my side.

In the Maluku islands. I
meant the motorcycle bar,

but yes. The Maluku
islands, as well.

I remember the day
each of you was hired.

I remember the name of
every victim I've ever identified.

I remember just how
meaningful this work can be.

But I don't remember
how to do it. I mean...

I can't make sense of
the evidence. I don't even

know what I'm
supposed to do with this.

Cam. Good, look at this.

Is that explosive from
the bomb Booth defused?

It is, and whoever devised it

mixed some kind of HMX
explosive with a binder material.

Most likely some kind
of, like, ethyl silicate resin.

That way the material
itself could be molded

into whatever shape was needed.

Yeah, well, I'm
seeing fingerprints.

Unfortunately, the bad
news is they're all partials.

Nothing that we can use to ID.

However, it also indicates

that the person who was
actually molding this explosive

was using their bare hands.

So there might be
epithelials, our bomber's DNA.

Yeah.

Listen to me, Mrs. Kovac.

I'm only gonna ask you
one last time, where is he?

I told you. I don't know
where he is. No, no, no.

No, no, no, your husband
called on your phone, okay.

That was a setup.

Look, I know what
you've been through.

I saw the explosion on the news.

You know more than
what you're telling us

and you're hiding someone.

What? You're hiding someone.

No, I am not. I swear to you.

Agent Booth, two months ago,

I found out my
husband's real identity.

Listen to me, Jeannine.

This is my last
offer to make a deal.

I leave this room and it's over.

I swear to you,

I don't know anything
about what Mark has done

or what he's
planning to do next.

You're willing to prove that?

Hey. How is it going in there?

Slowly.

Were you able to find any
more media cam images?

Um...

No more than I already gave you.

They haven't helped
trigger anything?

No. (SIGHS)

Are those photos
from Cam's wedding?

They're from the reception.

Since we know that Cam's ID

was probably stolen from there,

I thought it might
help us find something.

BRENNAN: That's weird.

Isn't that one of the waiters?

Yeah, except he's
carrying Cam's purse.

I think this could
possibly be the accomplice

that we're looking for.

When's the last time that
you spoke to your husband?

I spoke to Mark yesterday
in the morning. He called.

And did he say
where he was going?

I have no idea
where my husband is.

Well, there's somebody out
there who's been helping him.

Believe me, if I knew who
was helping my husband,

I would tell you.

Well, she doesn't have any tells

to indicate that she's lying.

I don't see anything either.

Maybe the polygraph will
show us something different.

What you got?

She passed. Not
even a gray area.

All right, just hold her. I don't
care how, just keep digging.

Do you understand me?
I'm gonna check on the kids.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

What? What is it?

The fake waiter who stole
Cam's pass. We got an ID.

I'm coming with you.

Whoa.

Where did everybody go?

Well, I thought I might be
able to make more progress

if I were alone with the bones.

But I still can't
make sense of this.

Okay, just go easy
on yourself, okay?

It'll... It'll come back to you.

Is that an x-ray machine? Yeah.

Hodgins and I were
able to recalibrate it.

The interns thought that you
could use it to match these bones

to pre-existing x-rays
of the victim's skeleton

to make sure you
got the right ones.

Yeah, you know, it
was just a crazy idea.

No, no, it was an obvious one.

Fundamental, really.

And I still couldn't grasp it.

So this is our guy. This
is who stole Cam's ID.

Kyle Capone, 28,
low-level drug dealer.

How long has this guy been dead?

AUBREY: Less than 48 hours.

Listen, the file shows
no history of violence.

Not only that, he flunked
high school chemistry.

I don't think this
guy's our bomber.

So someone, someone who
actually worked for Kovac,

hires this guy to steal
Cam's ID, then kills him.

Whoever that someone
is, they're still out there.

(BOBBLE-HEAD CLICKING)

Are you okay?

Where are the kids?

Agent Carasec took them to the
cafeteria to get something to eat.

You want to see 'em?

Yes. No...

(EXHALES AND CHUCKLES)

I don't want to worry them.

You okay?

It's okay.

BOOTH: I know. BRENNAN:
I just want to see them.

It's not coming
back, Booth, it's not.

(EXHALES)

Bones, look, you gotta
give it some time, all right?

I know guys from the service
who've lost their memory, okay?

It comes back.

This is not just a
simple case of amnesia.

It... My brain,
it's... It's different.

I mean, I'm... I'm different.

(EXHALES)

Look, you know what,
you're healing, all right?

You're gonna get
better. What if I don't?

So much of my life, my
intelligence is all I've had.

You know, I may
not have had a family,

but I understood things
that nobody else could.

My brain, the way
I think, is who I am.

Who I was. I...

Now, I don't know.

I don't know anything,
Booth. I mean...

If the thing that made
me "me" is gone,

who am I?

(BOOTH CLEARS THROAT)

You're the woman I love.

You are the one who kissed
me outside of a pool house

when it was pouring rain,

took me to shoot tommy
guns on Valentine's Day.

That's who you are.

You're the one
who proposed to me

with a stick of beef
jerky in your hand

even though you're a vegetarian.

You're the Roxy to my Tony
and the Wanda to my Buck.

(CHUCKLES)

Who else is gonna sing
Hot Blooded with me?

Hmm?

And besides, we're way
better than Mulder and Scully.

I don't know what that means.

I don't care if you
know about the bones

or if we know how
to solve crimes.

All I know is that
I want to spend

the rest of my life with you.

This is you,

Temperance Brennan.

You're my partner.
Don't forget that.

(COMPUTER NOTIFICATION)

Hey, I think we got something.

Not yet, it's just a partial.

Am I reading that
right? I think so.

Let's run the DNA again.
There must've been a mistake.

(COMPUTER NOTIFICATIONS)

Thank you.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hey, Cam.

So we were able to
isolate the bomber's DNA.

Any matches in the
system? Not exactly.

What does that mean? It
was a partial match for Kovac.

What? Since Kovac didn't escape

till after the bombs were set,

there must be a relative
we don't know about.

The DNA was female,
a mother, a sister.

It's Jeannine. His wife?

Do you think she
was hiding someone?

Well, that's how she
passed the polygraph.

I mean, look at her answers.

"No, I have no idea
where my husband is."

Booth, what's going
on? It's Jeannine.

Kovac is not her husband.

He's her brother.

It was you. It was
you! Whoa, whoa!

Agent Booth, what?
Sit down, lose the act.

What's happening?
I'm here to help.

I told you, I don't know
where my husband is.

All right, how
about your brother?

What are you talking
about? BRENNAN: Stop lying!

We know Mark Kovac
is your biological sibling.

That's sick. You're
accusing me of incest?

No, we're accusing you of
murder. And that's just for starters.

We found your DNA
on the explosive.

The whole marriage
thing, that was a cover.

Almost worked, but it didn't.

You've been working
with him this whole time.

You plotted to kill me and my
children! BOOTH: All right, all right.

You murdered my father!

Really? Your father's blood
is on your husband's hands.

So now you know how it feels

to have your father
murdered right in front of you.

My husband was doing his duty.

Hiding behind patriotism.

Stop! Stop!

Tell us where your brother
is and no one else has to die.

We found something
odd in the remains.

Several of the bones
feel lighter than normal.

And get this. They
were the same bones

that were on Dr. Brennan's list.

And you're hoping that if
Brennan sees this evidence,

then she's gonna recall
what happened. Exactly.

Yeah, it's just...
It's not gonna work.

Excuse me? Brennan
isn't Brennan anymore.

All right? And we just...
We have to accept it.

I mean, maybe someday...

So we're just supposed
to give up on her?

I refuse to do that.

Dr. Brennan saw
something in these remains.

HODGINS: Okay.

Then it's up to you to find it.

Look, Brennan trained
you for this exact moment.

She's counting on you.

So am I.

Hodgins is right.

We need to channel everything
Dr. Brennan has ever taught us.

CLARK: Okay, so let's assume
that Dr. Brennan wrote that note

because she noticed the
anomaly in the bones' weight.

What if the bone loss was due to

some kind of
malformation as a child?

I remember a case
Dr. Brennan and I worked on,

there was bone loss
due to lead poisoning.

It's possible, but why
would that be significant?

ARASTOO: Hang
on. CLARK: What is it?

Well, it could be dirt.

It's a mark.

Left lateral incisor.

Sometimes Dr. B marks a spot
when she wants enamel taken.

She was going to do
a histological analysis.

To find out where the
victim lived as a child.

Okay, so childhood home,
lead poisoning. That's it.

The victim wasn't
chosen at random.

He had to have provided
something Kovac needed.

What did he need?
DAISY: A place to hide.

Kovac has been
completely off the grid

ever since he
escaped from prison.

What if our victim knew a
place back where he grew up?

That's why Kovac
chose him to escape with.

But once Kovac got that
information... He killed him.

That's what
Dr. Brennan realized.

And once we find out where
our victim grew up, we find Kovac.

ANGELA: New equipment? Whoa.

Seriously? What exhibit
did you guys steal this from?

No. Actually it was all donated

from the biochem
department at Georgetown.

They came calling almost
immediately after the bomb went off.

Squints of the
world unite, baby.

So what are the results?
Were the interns right?

Well, we've got high levels
of lead, arsenic and PCB,

which actually will
weaken the bones

and likely cause
speech difficulties,

headaches and nausea.

Okay, can we match these levels

to any specific Superfund sites?

All I can do is combine
the data that I've got

with other isotope
levels that I found.

HODGINS: Okay,
there. In West Virginia.

That's mostly agricultural area.

Angela, start checking
property deeds.

Look for any owner with
connection to our victim.

Relatives, friends...
Okay, I'm on it.

The farm's about 20 miles ahead.

Aubrey and a few SWAT guys
are gonna meet me there. All right?

I just want you to
stay in the car. No.

Where you go, I go.

All right, fine. Just
be careful, all right?

Listen, Bones, I just wanna
say again how sorry I am.

No. No apologies.

But what you said to Jeannine
about me doing my duty

was still my choice.

It always is every
time I take a shot.

I take responsibility for that.

I know.

And that's why I
stand beside you.

Always.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

Okay, here's what
we're gonna do, okay?

Two teams. I'm gonna lead one,

Aubrey's gonna
lead the other one.

I'm gonna go left, you're gonna
go right. You understand me?

We're gonna flank the barn. Get
into position before we hit the house.

We're not gonna hit it till we get
support from the chopper overhead.

You got it? All right.

Also, everybody,
look out for trip wires.

This guy knows explosives.

Just be careful. I love
you. I love you, too.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

(GUNSHOTS)

Kovac? It's not
him. It's not Kovac.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(THUDS)

(GUNFIRE)

(GRUNTS)

It's Kovac. BRENNAN: Booth.

BOOTH: I can't move
my hand. I can't...

We gotta go!

We gotta move!

(ENGINE ROARING)

(GUNSHOTS)

(GUNFIRE)

My gun! I can't get my gun.

BOOTH: I can't move my hand.

(GUNS FIRING)

I need help, Bones.

I can't move my arm.

I can't move...

(GRUNTING)

Booth. My hand, I
can't move my hand.

Oh, God, it hurts. I can't go...

Argh!

Booth, I know what's
wrong with you. What?

You have an isolated
volar distal ulnar dislocation,

which means all
I need to do is...

(BONES CRUNCHING) Argh!

Bones!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

You did it. You did it.

(ENGINE REVVING)

(GUNSHOT)

(ENGINE ROARING)

(EXPLOSIONS)

(BRENNAN GRUNTS)

(FIRE ROARING)

Okay, I have a Red Eye for you.

A decaf almond milk
cappuccino for you. Thank you.

And, Dr. Brennan, perfect.

Here, green tea.

Oh, tha...

Ah, what are these for?

I just got word that
major repair work

is starting tomorrow morning,

which means this is the
last day we can be in the lab.

Until the work is done.
What about our stuff?

Well, I'm gonna need
you to pack up and label

anything you don't
want thrown out.

Leave those boxes in your office

and take with you anything

you don't want put in storage.

Okay, now I know why
you're plying us with caffeine.

Hey, how did it
go at the doctor's?

My agnosia's almost gone. So...

I'm going to be okay.

Good.

They won't change
it much, will they?

Well, they'll

try not to, but
you know how it is.

Everything changes.

Okay, grab some
boxes. Get to it.

Yeah.

Seeley Booth, whoa, whoa, whoa,

get your broad
shoulders over here.

Hey, look at you. Good
morning to you too, Caroline.

Don't be glib. You almost went
and got yourself killed again.

When are you ever
gonna stop doing that?

Probably never.

You and your damn sense of duty.

Do you have any
idea how stressful it is

for me to have
such a brave friend?

Well, you know the saying,

"Once a Ranger,
always a Ranger."

That's not the Rangers'
slogan, Aubrey.

I'm thinking of Power Rangers.

Well, I'm off to the courthouse.

Gonna make sure Jeannine Kovac

never sees another
free day in her life.

Let me know if you
need anything. Will do.

Why are you holding a plant?

Oh, ah... It's for the
new office. You like it?

Are you gonna take that
plant across the country?

Ah, no, actually.

SSA ALCO's retiring deputy
director offered me his spot.

Ha, ha.

Meaning, same
promotion but here in DC?

Yeah. No, I thought
I wanted to move.

But after everything that's
happened in the last couple of days,

I've realized this
is where I belong.

Well, I for one will be
happy to see you around.

And I'm guessing
there's a certain

quirky red headed anthropologist

who might also be
happy to hear this.

Yeah, she, ah... She
broke up with me.

Oh. Shame. Sorry.

You okay?

No, but I will be. Right.

Aubrey. Booth.

Yeah, get that
plant off my desk.

(ELEVATOR CHIMES)

Hi. Hey.

I just delivered two buckets
of fried chicken to your office.

Really? Wow. To celebrate?

Or commiserate.

I heard about your break up.

And in my professional opinion,

emotional eating always helps.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Are you hungry? Yeah.

My boxes are labeled.

You ready to tell them?

Let's do it.

ANGELA: Oh, my
God, Hodgins, I found it!

You did? Angie, that's amazing!

What is that?

It's this project that Angie
and I have been working on.

Come here, you gotta see this.
Come here, you gotta show 'em.

What is it? We thought
it was destroyed.

Here.

(CHUCKLES)

It's a children's book.

So I'm doing the text and Angie's
been doing all the illustrations.

BRENNAN: Wait.

We're in it.
"Brennan the beetle."

"Cam the caterpillar."

ANGELA: Yeah, we're all in it.

It's... It's about us.

(CHUCKLING)

Cam has something
to tell you both.

Yeah, um... (CLEARS THROAT)

I haven't been completely
honest with you guys,

because it wasn't official.

But, um, Arastoo and I
aren't actually going to Europe.

We're going to Mississippi to...

To pick up our boys.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

Yeah. What?

Oh, my God, look, who
are these beautiful children?

That is Tyler,

this is Isaiah, and the
youngest one here is Jordan.

They're siblings.

BRENNAN: They're in foster care.

Cam and Arastoo have
petitioned to adopt them.

And this is why you asked
for a leave of absence? Cam.

Yeah, Arastoo and I both wanted

to be around for
a while full time

to help them settle in and
to help us become a family.

Cam, that is such
wonderful news.

It really is. We're very
happy for you, Cam.

Now, for the position of
the interim director of the lab,

while Cam is away...

Yes, congratulations, Dr. B. No.

I'm happy where I am.

It's you, Dr. Hodgins.

Me? Uh-huh.

Wait a minute.

I'm the king of the lab?

(LAUGHING)

I'm the king of the lab!

It's just until I get
back. Don't get too cozy.

Yeah, right! You try to pry
that scepter from my hands

and take away my crown!

Hey, hey, I need a crown.

I need a crown! King of the lab!

Bones, you're ready? Almost.

Come on. It'll be fine.

Come on, look,

they're just shutting
this place down

for a couple of
weeks, that's all.

They'll clean it up, they'll
get it back up on its feet.

And it'll be better
than ever. I know.

It's a special place.

Yeah, it is.

What's all this stuff
in the bag here?

Ah!

Christine?

No, that's...

That's Parker's.

He gave it to me 11 years ago.

He told me he liked me.

Of course he did. That's my boy.

What's this here?

Wait a second.

Sweets' book, the one about us.

I wish he was here.

He was right about us.

About a lot of things, actually.

Yeah. He knew.

(BRENNAN CHUCKLES)

Ah, no. Jasper!

You remember Jasper. He
made it through the explosion.

Look at that. (BRENNAN OINKING)

Okay. What's with the
broken clock? (CHUCKLES)

That stopped when
the bombs went off.

When the lab reopens,

I'm going to hang it in my new
office to remind me. Always.

4:47. Why would you want
to be reminded of the moment

when everything
almost ended, Bones?

Because it didn't.

BOOTH: All right,
well, let's get going.

Uncle Aubrey has
the kids at the diner,

and he's probably gonna
end up feeding them pies.

Come on. Let's do
it, Bones. Come on!

Are you gonna offer to
help carry my stuff? What?

Ah, come on, you're
an independent woman.

Yes, but this is heavy.

Well, my back hurts. Well, I
have a bad back too, you know.

BRENNAN: You're aging.
BOOTH: I'm not aging.
