Bones (2005–2017): Season 2, Episode 2 - Mother and Child in the Bay - full transcript

COPS SAY THE BODY WASHED UP ON
THE BAY. IT COULD BE CARLIE RICHARDSON.

AND I'M SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHO
THAT IS? YEAH. DISAPPEARED A YEAR AGO.

SHE WAS PREGNANT. OH, COME ON,
BONES. YOU HAVE TO GET A TV, YOU KNOW?

OH, HEY, OR AT LEAST JUST, UH, HEY, THUMB
THROUGH A PEOPLE AT THE CHECKOUT STAND.

WAS IT IN THE JOURNAL OF
FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY?

OH, YOU KNOW, I FORGOT
TO RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTION.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU REALLY
NEED TO TAKE UP OTHER INTERESTS.

I'M READING TED GIOIA'S HISTORY OF
JAZZ. WAS SHE MENTIONED IN THERE?

OR MAYBE IN McGEE'S SCIENCE
AND LORE OF THE KITCHEN?

OR PERHAPS I SHOULD DEVELOP AN
INTEREST IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA'S...

EXPLOITATION OF CRIMES FOR
THEIR ENTERTAINMENT VALUE.



YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING, BONES. YOU
CAN REALLY BE SNOTTY SOMETIMES. [Laughs]

SO, CARLIE RICHARDSON?
CARLIE RICHARDSON, NEWLYWED.

EVERYONE ASSUMED
THAT SHE WAS MURDERED.

HUSBAND WAS CHEATING ON HER. THERE WAS
EVIDENCE THAT THEY HAD A FIGHT THAT DAY.

HE WAS COVERED IN SCRATCHES. WITNESSES
SAID THAT THEY SAW HIM DOWN BY THE MARINA.

YEAH, BUT, HEY, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT
THE BODY, THEY HAD TO KICK HIM FREE.

WELL, IF SHE'S BEEN IN THE WATER FOR
A YEAR, THE BONES WILL BE SATURATED.

I'LL NEED NYLON
MESH BAGGING AND...

CAM'S BRINGING IN
EVERYTHING ON THE TRUCK.

AFTER A YEAR, THERE'S NOT
GONNA BE A LOT OF FLESH FOR CAM.

WELL, YOU KNOW, HEY,
BONES, YOU KNOW, CAM IS...

SHE'S IN CHARGE NOW. SHE
RUNS THE PLACE. IT'S HER CALL.

THEN LET'S HURRY. I DON'T WANT MY
REMAINS COMPROMISED. OKAY. ♪♪ [Humming]

I DON'T CARE IF SHE'S THE
BOSS. [Cell Phone Ringing]



[Sighs] THE BONES
BELONG TO ME. HEY. OH.

BOOTH. OH, YEAH. REBECCA.

WHOA, WAIT A SECOND.
SLOW DOWN, OKAY?

THIS IS MY WEEKEND WITH
PARKER, OKAY? I AM HIS FATHER.

ALL RIGHT? "STU"
IS YOUR BOYFRIEND.

WE'RE GONNA BE IN THE WATER. REMEMBER
TO BRING TRAXON AND SOLUBLE TAPE.

[Buzzer Buzzes] DOES SHE THINK I AM NEW
AT THIS? I DEVELOPED THE USE OF TRAXON...

ON THE PHONE, BONES. I
KNOW. GET OFF. WE HAVE TO GO.

IT'S... REBECCA, HE'S SPENDING A LOT OF TIME
WITH PARKER, AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW THIS GUY.

SHE TOOK ZACK. ZACK'S MINE.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?

I JUST... I JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT HE'S A GOOD INFLUENCE.

THE FACT THAT HE, YOU KNOW, ROCKS YOUR...
ROCKS YOUR WORLD, SURPRISINGLY, THAT...

REALLY, YOU KNOW,
DOESN'T CONCERN...

I'LL JUST MEET YOU THERE.
DOESN'T CONCERN ME.

I-I GOTTA RUN. OKAY, REBECCA?
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS LATER.

BONES, WAIT UP.

[Brennan] WHY CAN'T
YOU GO FASTER?

I DON'T SEE WHY
I COULDN'T DRIVE.

BECAUSE YOU'RE
AGITATED. I AM NOT.

YOU'VE TURNED THIS INTO A
COMPETITION BETWEEN YOU AND CAM.

I JUST LIKE TO BE FIRST ON THE SCENE.
THAT'S ALL. TO PROTECT THE EVIDENCE.

SHE'S NOT GOING TO
DISTURB ANYTHING.

NO, IT'S ALL TISSUE AND
BLOOD AND D.N.A. WITH HER.

SHE DOESN'T APPRECIATE
THE SKELETAL SYSTEM.

YOU COULD TAKE THE
I-70. IT'LL BE QUICKER.

DON'T BACKSEAT DRIVE, OKAY?
OH. I THINK I KNOW WHO'S AGITATED.

[Chuckles] SOMEONE
IS ANNOYING ME, OKAY?

THAT'S DIFFERENT. YOUR EX.

HUH? THAT'S WHO'S ANNOYING YOU,
BECAUSE SHE HAS A NEW MAN IN HER LIFE.

THAT'S FUNNY, YOU KNOW? OKAY,
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SON.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND
OF GUY THIS NEW BOYFRIEND IS.

YOU KNOW WHAT? IF SHE'S NOT
GONNA TELL ME, I'LL FIND OUT ON MY OWN.

ARE YOU GONNA RUN A BACKGROUND
CHECK ON HIM? YOU HAVE KIDS AND WE'LL TALK.

THAT'S A LOT TO ASK FOR
A LITTLE CONVERSATION.

IF YOU MAKE A RIGHT, WE CAN
CUT THROUGH GRAFTON. FINE.

[Chattering]

WE HAVE NO INFORMATION
RIGHT NOW. [Continues, Indistinct]

[Woman Dispatcher]
GO AHEAD, 114.

SHE BEAT US HERE.
SHE WAS IN A TRUCK.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WANTED TO GO THROUGH
GRAFTON. YOU COULD'VE USED THE SIREN.

WHY DO YOU HAVE ONE IF YOU'RE NOT
GONNA USE IT? [Groans] WHAT'S THAT SMELL?

ZACK, I NEED SOME STERILE
TUBES BEFORE SHE'S FERTILIZER.

[Exhales] OKAY,
THAT'S THE SMELL.

CAUCASIAN, FEMALE, 25 TO 30.

AND BARNACLE AND SMALL
MUSSEL INCRUSTATION...

INDICATES SHE'S BEEN IN
THE WATER FOR ABOUT A YEAR.

MM-MMM. THEY HAVE.

GOD.

SIZE OF THE FETAL BONES
INDICATES THE FETUS WAS VIABLE.

- HOW COULD SOMEONE DO THIS
TO THEIR OWN KID?
- [Zack] MULTIPLE FRACTURES.

THEY COULD BE FROM AN ASSAULT OR FROM BEING
BATTERED BY ROCKS AND DEBRIS WHILE IN THE WATER.

STAB WOUNDS EVIDENT ON
RIBS, MANUBRIUM AND CLAVICLE.

AND ULNA, RADIUS.
ONE TO THE SPHENOIDS.

[Woman Screaming]

THIS WAS A VERY VIOLENT ATTACK.

- FIND THE MURDER WEAPON?
- NOT YET. SCOOP GUYS
JUST GOT HERE.

THEN TELL THEM TO LOOK FOR A
LEFT LEG AND MISSING FETAL BONES.

[Sighs] LOOKS LIKE WE FINALLY
GET TO PUT RICHARDSON AWAY.

- I LOVE BEING A HERO.
- A HEROINE.

MMM, SOUNDS TOO DRUGGY.
I'M GOING WITH HERO.

WH... WHOA. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

SCRAPING THE
ADIPOCERE FROM THE HAND.

NO. YOU COULD COMPROMISE THE BONES.
YOU SHOULD USE SUCTION BACK AT THE LAB,

IF YOU WANT A CONVICTION.

- OF COURSE, IT'S YOUR CALL.
- ARE WE GONNA HAVE ANOTHER
MURDER HERE OR WHAT?

NO, NO. I HAVE THE UTMOST
RESPECT FOR THE DOC.

- GLAD SHE WORKS FOR ME.
- [Horn Honking]

GOOD. AND, YOU KNOW, THE CLOTHES, THEY
MATCH THE ONES SHE WAS LAST SEEN WEARING.

THE ROPE COULD BE A MATCH TO THE
TYPE FOUND IN RICHARDSON'S HOUSE.

WHILE YOU TWO DO YOUR THING, I'M
GONNA GO BRING THE SON OF A BITCH IN.

[Grunts]

[Woman On TV] THE BODY OF A
MOTHER AND CHILD THOUGHT TO HAVE...

WHERE'S RICHARDSON?
UH, I DON'T KNOW.

HE SAW THIS, AND
THEN HE TOOK OFF.

I TRIED TO STOP HIM,
BUT THEN HE HIT ME.

HE SAID HE'S NEVER COMING BACK.

[TV] SOURCES INDICATE BOTH THE MOTHER
AND HER FETUS WERE STABBED TO DEATH.

KYLE RICHARDSON
REMAINS THE CHIEF SUSPECT.

CAM, THIS IS THE EVIDENCE TAKEN FROM
KYLE RICHARDSON'S HOUSE A YEAR AGO.

SO, WE GOT ROPE,
THE PLASTIC SHEETING,

KNIFE SET... ONE KNIFE MISSING...
RICHARDSON'S D.N.A. RESULTS.

[Saroyan] FILE SAYS WITNESSES
PLACED RICHARDSON...

AT THE MARINA ON THE BAY
THE NIGHT SHE DISAPPEARED.

LOOKS LIKE HE'S NOT WALKING THIS TIME,
SEELEY. IRONIC, SINCE HE'S RUNNING NOW.

HODGINS, YOU KNOW BOOTH
IS BIGGER THAN YOU, RIGHT?

RIGHT. WASN'T YOUR FAULT, DUDE.

LET'S FOCUS, PEOPLE. THIS
SHOULD BE A SLAM DUNK.

WE SCREW THIS UP, I'M GONNA LOOK LIKE A
FOOL, AND SOMEONE'S GONNA HAVE TO PAY.

WE JUST STARTED
COLLECTING EVIDENCE.

THERE ARE BOXES OF EVIDENCE.
THE REMAINS ARE ICING ON THE CAKE.

LET'S JUST HAND THE
PROSECUTOR WHAT SHE NEEDS...

SO I CAN HAVE A NICE WEEKEND
KNOCKIN' BACK SHOTS AND PLAYING POKER.

[Scoffs] YEAH, THAT
SHOULD MOTIVATE US.

I'M GONNA STRIP THE
FLESH AND ADIPOCERE.

REMOVE ANYTHING FROM
UNDER THE FINGERNAILS.

THERE WAS A DEAD
FISH IN THE PLASTIC.

OOH! AND IT'S NOT
EVEN MY BIRTHDAY.

YOU SAVED THE FISH? YEAH.

THE STOMACH CONTENTS AND
PARTICULATES COULD GIVE US DRIFT PATTERNS,

SHOW WHERE SHE WAS LEFT
BEFORE SHE WASHED ASHORE.

NOT MUCH LEFT OF THE ORGANS. LOOKS
LIKE I CAN STILL FIND A FEW SURPRISES...

FROM WHAT'S LEFT OF THIS LUNG.

- LOOKS LIKE SOME LIVER HERE.
- I'LL TAKE ANY TISSUE
THAT'S STUCK TO THE PLASTIC.

THERE'LL BE SEDIMENT
AND ORGANIC PARTICULATES.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

GEORGE CLOONEY NAKED
ON A WHITE SAND BEACH.

BUT I CAN GIVE YOU FACES AFTER
THE SKULLS ARE RECONSTRUCTED.

ZACK WILL START
ON THEM RIGHT AWAY.

AFTER YOU'VE STRIPPED ANY TISSUE, I'D LIKE
TO REASSEMBLE THE VICTIM AND THE FETUS.

SOUNDS LIKE FUN. LET'S DO IT.

IT WAS MALE.

"HE." NOT "IT," BONES.

I'M GONNA GO TALK TO HIS
GIRLFRIEND. NO MISTAKES ON THIS ONE.

HE ALWAYS WAS A LITTLE TOUCHY.

YEAH.

I... I DIDN'T KNOW KYLE THEN.

WE STARTED GOING OUT
AFTER HIS WIFE WENT MISSING.

DID HE EVER MENTION THE
NIGHT SHE DISAPPEARED?

OF COURSE. I MEAN, IT
WAS TERRIBLE FOR HIM.

I JUST TRIED TO SUPPORT
HIM AND HELP HIM GET PAST IT.

HE LOOKS LIKE HE HAD A
LOT OF PEOPLE TO HELP HIM.

I MEAN, HE LOOKED
REALLY, REALLY BROKEN UP.

I KNOW HE DATED OTHER WOMEN.

BUT HE IS NOT WHO
YOU THINK HE IS.

NAH, OF COURSE NOT.

- OH, MY GOD.
- AGENT BOOTH,
IS THAT NECESSARY?

JUST TRYING TO HELP HER
REMEMBER. HE WOULD NEVER DO THIS.

HE COULD NEVER DO THIS! HE HIT
YOU WHEN HE WAS LEAVING, DIDN'T HE?

[Stammers] THAT IS BECAUSE
I WANTED TO GO WITH HIM.

A-AND HE KNEW EVERYONE WOULD BE AFTER
HIM. HE WAS JUST TRYING TO PROTECT ME.

YEAH, HE'S A REAL PRINCE.

IF HE CONTACTS YOU, CALL.

OTHERWISE, YOU'RE LOOKING AT OBSTRUCTION
OF JUSTICE, AIDING AND ABETTING,

AND I'M SURE WE COULD
FIND A FEW OTHER CHARGES...

TO MAKE IT WORTH THE MONEY
YOU'RE PAYING YOUR LAWYER.

[Brennan] THERE'S ANOTHER GASH
ON THE SECOND RIB, RIGHT SIDE,

APPROXIMATELY 45
DEGREES, LEFT TO RIGHT.

WHY DIDN'T HE DIVORCE HER? WHY DID
THEY GET MARRIED IN THE FIRST PLACE?

IT'S AN ANTIQUATED RITUAL.

CARLIE RICHARDSON BELIEVED IN IT, TRUSTED
HER HUSBAND, AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.

SO THIS IS MARRIAGE'S FAULT?

COMMITTING YOURSELF TO ONE PERSON
ISN'T IN THE INTEREST OF THE SPECIES.

I MEAN, YOU HAVE
MULTIPLE PARTNERS.

DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT. I DATE.

THE NOTION OF A COMMITTED
RELATIONSHIP, IT'S FANTASY.

LOOK AT BOOTH. FIGHTING WITH HIS
EX. HIS SON CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

WE MAKE OUR LIVES
OUT OF CHAOS AND HOPE...

AND LOVE.

SOMEDAY YOU'LL MEET SOMEBODY.

I DON'T NEED ANYTHING
MORE THAN I HAVE NOW.

TALK ABOUT A FANTASY.

THE SKULLS ARE IN MULTIPLE PIECES, BUT
THE DAMAGE IS FROM DEBRIS IN THE WATER.

THEN LET'S START
ON THE STAB WOUNDS.

I'D LIKE YOU TO CONFIRM THE TYPE
OF KNIFE USED IN EACH OF THESE.

THESE ALL APPEAR TO BE FROM THE KNIFE THAT WAS
MISSING FROM THE SET TAKEN FROM RICHARDSON'S.

APPEAR? NO CONCLUSIONS
WITHOUT CORROBORATION.

BUT DR. SAROYAN SEEMS
CERTAIN THAT RICHARDSON...

SEEMS? YOU'RE MY GRAD STUDENT.
YOU WORK FOR ME. [Footsteps Approaching]

REMEMBER, DOC. WE'RE BUILDING A CASE HERE,
NOT GETTING OUR ROCKS OFF ON RESEARCH.

ROCKS AND SEDIMENT
ARE HODGINS'S SPECIALTY.

YOU'RE SERIOUS?

OKAY.

BROUGHT YOUR HAND BACK. I FOUND
ORGANIC MATERIAL UNDER THE FINGERNAILS.

SHOULD MATCH RICHARDSON. AND I FOUND
SOMETHING ELSE I'D LIKE YOU TO LOOK AT.

IT'S HERE IN THE
LUNG. IT'S A LOCKET.

IT MUST'VE BEEN
AROUND HER NECK...

AND MELTED INTO THE
LUNG DURING PUTREFACTION.

BEFORE I REMOVE
IT, I WANTED TO SEE...

IF ANY OF YOUR CYBORGS COULD
DO ANYTHING WITH THE PHOTO PAPER.

THERE'S NOT ENOUGH
LEFT. IT'S LIQUEFIED.

IT'S PROBABLY JUST ANOTHER
PICTURE OF THE LOVEBIRDS ANYWAY.

OH, WHAT'S THIS?

- OH, NO.
- WHO'S KENNY?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
I JUST WANT IT TO BE RICHARDSON.

THAT'S RIGHT, BECAUSE OF
THE DRINKING AND THE POKER.

YEAH, I KNOW THERE'S A
LOT OF ANIMALS AT THE ZOO.

THE MONKEYS... THE MONKEYS
ARE DADDY'S FAVORITE.

DID YOU SEE... THEY'RE JUST
LIKE PEOPLE. [Imitating Monkey]

ACTUALLY, THREE MILLION
BASE PAIRS OF THE GENOME...

DIFFER IN PROTEIN ENCODING
AND OTHER FUNCTIONAL AREAS.

WHAT? GENETIC DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN CHIMPS AND HUMANS.

I'M TALKING TO A
FOUR-YEAR-OLD, BONES.

OH. YEAH.

YOU'RE SPENDING A LOT OF TIME
WITH DREW, HUH? OH, THAT'S GREAT.

OKAY, YOU GOTTA GO EAT. OKAY,
GO EAT. MAKE SURE... OKAY, I LOVE...

YEAH. NEW BOYFRIEND SPENDING
A LOT OF TIME WITH YOUR SON?

YEAH.

SO YOU GOT ANY NEW
INFORMATION FOR ME, BONES?

I'M SORRY. AH, THERE'S NO NEED.

IT MUST BE HARD NOT BEING ABLE
TO SEE HIM WHEN YOU WANT TO.

SEE, THIS IS INFORMATION
THAT I ALREADY KNOW, BONES.

WHY DON'T YOU... LET'S SAY WE
JUST DISCUSS THE CASE, HMM?

SURE. MM-HMM.

YOU KNOW, I'M HIS FATHER.
YOU KNOW, PARKER KNOWS THAT.

I MEAN, THAT-THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT,
NOT SOME STUPID TRIP TO THE ZOO.

NO, ABSOLUTELY. RIGHT.

YEAH. DONE.

OF COURSE. BOOM.

WE FOUND THIS IN HER LUNG.

WHAT?

HER LUNG? IT WAS
ENVELOPED DURING DECOMP.

- "KENNY"?
- ANY REFERENCE TO A KENNY
IN THE CASE FILE?

NO, BUT WHOEVER KENNY IS LIKED
HER ENOUGH TO GET HER A LOCKET.

MAYBE KYLE WASN'T THE
ONLY ONE WHO WAS CHEATING.

OPENS UP A LOT OF
POSSIBILITIES. YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU SAY WE JUST GO TALK TO CARLIE'S
FRIENDS AND SEE IF THEY KNOW WHO KENNY IS?

[Sighs]

THE FOUR OF US GOT SO CLOSE
BEING IN THE SAME LAMAZE CLASS.

LOSING CARLIE WAS
LIKE LOSING A SISTER.

IT WAS HER IDEA TO
START THIS BABY GROUP.

WE ALL FELT SO CONNECTED.

FEELING SOMEONE GROWING
INSIDE, WAITING TO MEET THEM.

- DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
- HE DOES.

THEY MAKE YOU FEEL WHOLE.

IT'S JUST A RELEASE OF SEROTONIN
NECESSARY FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES.

- HUH?
- NEVER MIND. UM, WE FOUND THIS
LOCKET ON CARLIE'S REMAINS.

IT SAYS, UH, "I LOVE YOU, KENNY."
DID SHE EVER MENTION A KENNY?

YES. SHE TALKED ABOUT
KENNY ALL THE TIME.

- HE WAS NEVER MENTIONED
IN THE POLICE REPORT.
- KENNY WAS HER DOG.

HER DOG?

KYLE BOUGHT HER THE DOG WHEN THINGS WERE
BETTER BETWEEN THEM. SHE LOVED THAT DOG.

THERE USED TO BE A
PICTURE OF THEM IN THERE.

WELL, WHERE IS HER DOG NOW?

IT DIED. MARY TOOK CARE OF IT.

I'M A VET. THEY BROUGHT IT IN A FEW
MONTHS BEFORE CARLIE DISAPPEARED.

KYLE SAID HE BACKED OVER
IT ACCIDENTALLY. [Fussing]

CARLIE ALWAYS FELT
HE DID IT ON PURPOSE.

HE WAS A REAL PIECE OF
WORK WHEN HE GOT MAD.

A DEAD DOG. EXCELLENT.

SO WE'RE BACK TO ONE SUSPECT:
RICHARDSON. I LIKE THIS. GOOD WORK.

- DO YOU WANT CHILDREN?
- WHAT?

CHILDREN?

MAYBE, IF I COULD FIND ONE
THAT SLEEPS LATE AND CLEANS.

DOES THIS APPLY TO
THE CASE IN ANY WAY?

NO, JUST CURIOUS.

MOST PEOPLE THINK IT'S ODD WHEN
A WOMAN DOESN'T WANT CHILDREN.

BUT, OBVIOUSLY, YOU DON'T.

ARE YOU PREGNANT?

- NO. [Chuckles] I'M NOT. NO.
- WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?

WELL, AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT LEAVING
THE LAB EVERY TWO MINUTES TO PEE.

NO INTENTION OF IT.

SO ALL THIS BACK-AND-FORTH
WAS FOR NOTHING? GOOD TO KNOW.

NOW, UNLESS THE LIVER HAS A WRITTEN
CONFESSION IN IT BY A PET PARAKEET,

WE SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH TO BUILD A SOLID FORENSIC
CASE AGAINST RICHARDSON FOR THE PROSECUTOR.

I FOUND SOMETHING THAT MIGHT
PUT A NEW WRINKLE IN THINGS.

- GREAT.
- OH, GOD.

THE FISH WAS A
POMATOMUS SALTATRIX,

A BLUEFISH COMMON
TO DELAWARE BAY.

AND THERE WERE DINOFLAGELLATES
CONSISTENT WITH THE SALT WATER IN THE BAY.

- DOZING OFF, HODGEPODGE.
- BUT I ALSO FOUND DIDINIUM,
A CILIATE...

AND OOMYCOTA, A MOLD, BOTH OF
WHICH ARE FOUND IN FRESHWATER.

SO THE BODY WAS IN
FRESH AND SALT WATER.

EXACTLY. FRESHWATER FIRST
FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS.

OKAY, WE HAVE WITNESSES THAT PUT
RICHARDSON AT THE MARINA THAT NIGHT.

THERE IS NO
FRESHWATER IN THAT AREA.

- SO MAYBE RICHARDSON
DIDN'T DO IT.
- [Sighs]

[Sighs]

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE?
RICHARDSON'S THE ONLY LOGICAL SUSPECT.

ARE WE WORKING FOR THE DEFENSE
NOW? I'M WORKING FOR THE VICTIMS.

WE HAVE TO BE OPEN TO THE
EVIDENCE AS IT PRESENTS ITSELF.

THE KNIFE, THE ROPE, THE PLASTIC
SHEETING ARE ALL FROM RICHARDSON'S HOUSE.

THAT'S BEEN CONFIRMED. WE'RE
TRYING TO BUILD A CASE HERE, PEOPLE.

DON'T IGNORE FACTS JUST BECAUSE IT
MIGHT CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE CASE.

NOT ASKING YOU TO. I WANT
YOU TO FILL IN THE BLANKS.

THERE MUST BE FRESHWATER CLOSE ENOUGH
FOR RICHARDSON TO HAVE DUMPED THE BODY.

IT HAS TO HAVE THE SAME SEDIMENT,
LARVAE, ARCHAEA, HELMINTHS.

GREAT. WHATEVER THE
"HELL-MINTHS" THOSE ARE, FIND THEM.

IF WE FIND A BODY OF WATER THAT MATCHES,
IT HAS TO BE DREDGED FOR ADDITIONAL PARTS.

WE'RE STILL MISSING THE LEFT PATELLA,
TIBIA AND CALCANEUS. AND THE FETUS...

OKAY, FINE. JUST STOP
TALKING AND DO IT.

HEY, SO, IS THIS THE ONLY
FRESHWATER NEAR THE BAY?

THE ONLY BODY OF WATER THAT
MIGHT HAVE ALGAE AND SEDIMENT...

THAT COULD MATCH WHAT
WE FOUND ON THE REMAINS.

WHOO! SEEMS TO BE
A LOT OF GAMOPHYTA.

- IS THAT GOOD?
- I WON'T KNOW UNTIL I COMPARE
IT TO THE SAMPLES IN THE LAB.

- THEN WHY'D YOU ACT SO EXCITED?
- I GUESS I JUST LIKE GAMOPHYTA.

YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY DON'T
HAVE TO ACT ANY GEEKIER.

THE WHOLE OUTFIT
DOES IT FOR YOU.

GEEK CHIC, DUDE. AGENT BLONDIE
OVER THERE THINKS I'M HOT.

- HOW YOU DOIN'?
- [Chuckles]

- ANYTHING?
- ANOTHER TOP-FLITE!

YOU KNOW, I WENT OUT WITH A
WOMAN WHO HAD A LITTLE KID ONCE.

- AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED
TO BE LOOKING FOR SLIME?
- THE KID HATED ME.

- SAID I USED
TOO MANY BIG WORDS.
- HE GOT THAT RIGHT.

HIT ME IN THE HEAD WITH A TONKA TRUCK.
AH, I COULD NEVER SLEEP WITH HIS MOM AGAIN.

WELL, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST
THE STORY ENDS WELL.

I WAS GOOD TO HIM THOUGH. I DID NOT
DESERVE AN 18-WHEELER TO THE PARIETAL BONE.

OOH! NEMATODES AND PLANARIA.

DOES THAT MEAN ANYTHING?

- NOT SURE.
- [Sighs]

ANYTHING?

BONES. COULD BE FROM THE FETUS.

HAMATE, TRIQUETRAL,
PORTIONS OF THE PHALANGES.

AND ANOTHER TOP-FLITE!

[Man] YEAH, CHECK TO THE SIDE.

ACCORDING TO THE RECONSTRUCTION
WITH THESE NEW BONES,

THE FETUS HAS SEVEN FINGERS.

AND TWO RIGHT HANDS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WAS
THERE ANOTHER VICTIM?

DOUBLE THE MAGNIFICATION.

OKAY, LOOK AT THE
STRUCTURE OF THE PHALANGES.

AH. THE BONES FROM THE LAKE
ARE FROM A RACCOON. MM-HMM.

THE FORMATION OF THE HANDS IS
ALMOST IDENTICAL TO AN INFANT'S HAND.

HOW DID YOU DO? I
FOUND A RACCOON. YOU?

SEDIMENT AND ORGANIC MATERIAL FROM THE LAKE
DOESN'T MATCH WHAT WAS TAKEN FROM THE REMAINS.

I HAVE TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER BODY OF
FRESHWATER. I DON'T THINK IT'S AROUND.

- WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?
- NOTHING.

THE NEXT BODY OF FRESHWATER THAT
MIGHT MATCH IS OVER 60 MILES AWAY.

RICHARDSON COULDN'T HAVE BEEN
THERE. IT WOULDN'T MATCH THE TIMELINE.

I'VE GOT THE BOARD OF THE JEFFERSONIAN,
THE FEDERAL PROSECUTOR AND NANCY GRACE...

READY TO DEVOUR ME IF I DON'T HAND
THEM ENOUGH TO INDICT RICHARDSON.

WELL, IF YOU WANT US TO
MANUFACTURE EVIDENCE...

I WANT US TO FIND
OUT WHO KILLED CARLIE.

I'M PISSED 'CAUSE WHOEVER DID IT IS
MESSING WITH ME, AND I DON'T LIKE THAT.

I LIKE DOING THE MESSING.

THEN WE HAVE TO DETERMINE WHETHER
WE'RE WASTING OUR TIME ON RICHARDSON.

- TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED.
- HIS PLATES WERE FOUND
IN A DITCH ON ROUTE 432,

HIS CAR IN A VACANT
LOT IN HUNTSVILLE.

HE COULD BE USING ANOTHER
CAR, OR HE COULD BE HIDING OUT.

- ANYBODY I.D. HIM?
- WE'VE GOT I.D.'s COMING IN
FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE.

THIS IS WHERE THE CONCERNED
CITIZENS ALL COME OUT FOR THE REWARD.

- [Door Opens]
- EXCUSE US. AGENT BOOTH?

LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND
SOMETHING ELSE. SURE.

I'M DENNIS CAMPBELL. THIS IS MY
WIFE, PATRICIA. WE'RE CARLIE'S PARENTS.

YES, I KNOW. PLEASE, SIT DOWN.

I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

WELL, AT LEAST NOW OUR DAUGHTER CAN REST WITH
HER BABY, AND KYLE CAN NEVER TOUCH THEM AGAIN.

- THE REASON WE'RE HERE...
- WE WERE GOING THROUGH
SOME PHOTOS FOR THE FUNERAL,

AND WE CAME ACROSS THIS ONE.

[Dennis] KYLE USED TO GO
OUT OF TOWN ON BUSINESS.

HIS FIRM HAD AN OFFICE IN
BOSTON. CARLIE WENT WITH HIM ONCE.

THIS IS THEM WITH
SOME PEOPLE IN BOSTON.

THAT WOMAN ON THE NEWS, KAREN TYLER, SHE
SAID SHE MET KYLE AFTER CARLIE DISAPPEARED.

BUT-BUT HERE SHE
IS LOOKING AT HIM.

HE ADMITTED TO BEING INVOLVED
WITH THOSE OTHER GIRLS.

WHY DID HE LIE
ABOUT KNOWING HER?

- MAY I KEEP THIS PHOTO?
- OF COURSE.

WE NEED THEM TO ANSWER FOR THIS.

SHE WAS OUR LITTLE GIRL.

SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED
TO GO BEFORE US.

THAT'S NOT THE WAY
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE.

I KNOW. WE'LL FIND
KYLE. I PROMISE.

- YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?
- STAB THE BODY FOR ME.

WE NEED TO MATCH FORCE WITH THE
INJURIES RECORDED ON THE REMAINS.

OKAY, I'M STABBING THE BODY.

WELL, IT'S A REPLICA.
WE'RE ALL GOING TO DO IT.

YOU'RE JUST THE CLOSEST
TO KYLE RICHARDSON.

OKAY. THAT'S GREAT.
I'LL BE THERE IN 20.

BUT IN THE FUTURE, YOU HAVE
TO ASK ME DIFFERENTLY, BONES.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? COME OVER TO YOUR
PLACE TO STAB A BODY... THAT IS JUST FREAKY.

SEELEY, YOU SON OF A BITCH. OH.
I... REBECCA. WOW. YOU LOOK GREAT.

SAVE IT, 'CAUSE I NEED A LOT MORE
THAN COMPLIMENTS RIGHT NOW.

OKAY. JUST KEEP IT DOWN A LITTLE
BIT. 'CAUSE I'M AT WORK. ALL RIGHT?

YOU SENT AGENTS TO INVESTIGATE DREW?
BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA STOP THAT NOW.

LISTEN. I'M JUST BEING CAUTIOUS. WHAT DO
YOU REALLY KNOW ABOUT THIS GUY ANYWAY?

I KNOW... I-I-I KNOW
THAT HE HAS A GOOD JOB.

AND I KNOW THAT HE FIXES STUFF AROUND
THE HOUSE WHEN HE SAYS HE'S GOING TO.

AND I KNOW THAT PARKER
IS CRAZY ABOUT HIM,

AND HE'S NOT TERRIFIED EVERY TIME HE
GOES TO WORK THAT HE'S GOING TO GET SHOT.

AND I KNOW THAT I LOVE HIM.

I LOVE HIM.

AND NOW EVERYONE AT
WORK THINKS HE'S A CRIMINAL.

WELL, HE'S BEEN SPOTTED WITH
EXPLOSIVES. HE IS A CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN.

HE DOES DEMOLITION. YOU MUST'VE FIGURED THAT
OUT WHEN YOU WERE DOING ALL YOUR SNOOPING.

I HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHO'S AROUND MY SON.
HE SPENDS MORE TIME WITH PARKER THAN I DO.

OKAY, YOU THINK THAT I
WOULD PUT PARKER IN DANGER?

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. WHY IS IT YOU
KEEP ALL THE MEN IN YOUR LIFE SUCH A SECRET?

BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS INTERROGATE THEM
OR INTIMIDATE THEM, AND IT FREAKS THEM OUT!

A LOT ARE A LITTLE STRANGE. THE
GUY WITH THE TATTOOS ON HIS NECK?

[Stammers] I DON'T EVEN HAVE
TO LET YOU SEE PARKER, OKAY?

NOT-NOT-NOT LEGALLY. THAT-THAT'S ONE
OF THE UPSIDES OF NOT BEING MARRIED.

DON'T.

I'M A GOOD FATHER.
YOU KNOW THAT.

YOU HAVE GOT TO STOP
TRYING TO RUN THINGS.

I'VE GOT THINGS IN MY LIFE THAT
HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.

LOOK. WE ARE ALWAYS GONNA HAVE SOMETHING TO
DO WITH EACH OTHER BECAUSE WE SHARE A SON.

DREW'S A GOOD MAN.

AND YOU NEED TO BACK OFF, OR YOU'RE
NOT GONNA SEE PARKER AGAIN. I SWEAR.

BACK OFF.

HERE COMES KYLE. HA, HA. FUNNY.
DON'T WE HAVE SOMETHING TO STAB?

THIS. I HATE MY JOB. FROM THE
DEPTH OF THE STAB WOUNDS,

WE CAN TELL THE APPROXIMATE
FORCE REQUIRED IN NEWTON METERS...

TO INFLICT THE MARKS
WE SEE ON THE BONES.

SO WE HAVE TO MEASURE THE AMOUNT
OF FORCE GENERATED WHEN WE STAB...

TO GIVE US THE SIZE, WEIGHT
AND BODY TYPE OF THE ASSAILANT.

MM-HMM. YOU HAD TO DRESS HER UP?

THE CLOTHES SHE WORE FIGURE
IN THE RESISTANCE TO THE BLOWS.

THE KNIFE IS CONSISTENT WITH
THE ONE THAT CAUSED THE WOUNDS.

WE FITTED IT WITH AN
INSTRUMENTED BLADE...

THAT WILL GIVE US A DIGITAL READOUT
OF THE NEWTON METERS OF EACH STAB.

IT'S A DUAL-MASS DROP SYSTEM.

ALL I HEAR IS BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

CliffsNotes VERSION: WE ALL
STAB. ONE OF US IS THE KILLER.

THANK YOU. SORT OF LIKE A
REAL CREEPY PARTY GAME.

THE VIOLENCE OF THE ATTACK SHOWS RAGE. SO
EVERYONE SHOULD STAB AS HARD AS THEY CAN.

[Grunting]

[Grunting]

THIS BETTER WORK!

- THAT WAS WEIRD.
- [Shuddering]

OKAY. OKAY. [Chuckles]
[Booth] RESULTS?

THE FORCE USED TO MAKE
THE INJURIES ON THE BONES...

WAS 24 NEWTON METERS.

AND THE WINNER IS,
WITH 24 NEWTON METERS...

ANGELA.

- WHAT?
- [Hodgins] CONGRATULATIONS.

- REALLY?
- HEIGHT AND WEIGHT?

OH, GOD. UH... UH...

[Sighs] 5'8", 100 AND...
[Mutters] HUNDRED.

- WHAT?
- 135. IT'S ALL MUSCLE.

KAREN TYLER IS
5'7" AND 132 POUNDS.

[Screaming]

SO, KYLE'S GIRLFRIEND KILLS
CARLIE SO THEY CAN BE TOGETHER.

WELL, THEN WHY DID KYLE
RUN? [Saroyan] MAYBE HE DIDN'T.

IT SOUNDS NUTS, BUT
IF SHE'S THE KILLER,

MAYBE KAREN GOT RID OF HIM
TOO TO KEEP HIM FROM TALKING.

OKAY, SO YOU'RE SURE THERE'S NO WAY
RICHARDSON COULD'VE MADE THESE WOUNDS?

WITH HIS STRENGTH, THE BLOWS
WOULD'VE SLICED DEEPER INTO THE BONE.

THESE SEEM TO GO RIGHT THROUGH. WELL, THOSE
WERE DELIVERED AFTER SHE WAS ON THE GROUND.

SO KAREN DOES THE KILLING BECAUSE THEY
KNOW EVERYONE WILL BE SUSPECTING KYLE.

I'D PREFER NOT TO MAKE
ANY MORE ASSUMPTIONS. OH.

THERE ARE PARTICLES
IN THE KNIFE MARKS.

WHEN SHE WAS ON THE GROUND,
THE KNIFE PASSED THROUGH THE BODY...

AND PICKED UP
SEDIMENT FROM THE DIRT.

THE NEXT STAB EMBEDDED
THAT INTO THE BONE.

IF I CAN GET ENOUGH INFORMATION
FROM THESE PARTICULATES,

I MIGHT BE ABLE TO LOCATE
THE SITE OF THE MURDER.

D.N.A. RESULTS CAME BACK.
IT WAS KYLE UNDER HER NAILS.

SO HE WAS THERE TOO. MAYBE.

BUT WE KNOW HE HAD A FIGHT
WITH HER EARLIER THAT HE ADMITS.

FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS ALSO THE SKIN OF
SOMEBODY ELSE. TESTS SHOWED IT WAS A WOMAN.

MMM. KAREN TYLER.

- WE SHOULD GET HER D.N.A. DRAWN
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
- SMART. LET'S GO, BONES.

I-I DIDN'T DO IT. I SWEAR, I
WOULD NEVER HURT HER.

THE OTHER DAY YOU SAID YOU
AND KYLE DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER...

UNTIL AFTER CARLIE DISAPPEARED.

BECAUSE WE BOTH KNEW
WHAT EVERYONE WOULD THINK.

KAREN, PLEASE
DON'T SAY ANYTHING.

HMM. EVEN YOUR
LAWYER THINKS YOU DID IT.

KYLE THOUGHT WE SHOULD
SEPARATE AND MEET IN A FEW MONTHS,

SO, YOU KNOW, IT
WOULDN'T LOOK SO BAD.

- WELL, THAT DIDN'T
WORK OUT NOW, DID IT?
- OPEN YOUR MOUTH.

DO I REALLY HAVE TO DO THIS?

THEY HAVE A WARRANT.

WHEN YOU WERE SLEEPING WITH KYLE, DIDN'T IT
MATTER TO YOU YOU WERE DESTROYING A FAMILY?

WE WERE IN LOVE.

OH. LOVE. SORRY. NOW
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL STORY.

- OPEN AGAIN.
- OUCH.

- OOPS.
- KYLE WAS GONNA TELL HER.

- WE WERE GONNA BE HONEST.
- MMM. 'CAUSE, YOU KNOW,
YOU DO THAT SO WELL.

I WOULD NEVER HURT HER.

AND NEITHER WOULD KYLE.

KYLE. RIGHT. THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
WHO NO ONE HAS SEEN FOR TWO DAYS.

CAN YOU SEE WHY I'M
LEERY OF RELATIONSHIPS?

[Door Opens, Closes]

WE HIT PAY DIRT.
ACTUALLY, WE HIT SILT...

CONTAINING THE FECES OF THE
GYPSY MOTH, SOME QUARTZ AND MICA.

THAT AND THE ZINC LEVELS IN THE
DINOFLAGELLATES FROM THE FRESHWATER,

AS WELL THE PINACEAE POLLEN
LED US TO A PATCH OF PITCH PINES...

OUTSIDE OF GLOUCESTER
CITY, NEW JERSEY.

[Angela] SHE WAS
KILLED RIGHT HERE.

- THEN WHEN DID THEY
MOVE HER TO THE BAY?
- THEY DIDN'T.

THEY LEFT HER IN NEW JERSEY IN THE RANCOCAS
CREEK. SHE MADE IT TO THE BAY ON HER OWN.

- WHAT, DID SHE TAKE
THE SHUTTLE?
- BASICALLY.

TWO DAYS AFTER CARLIE DISAPPEARED,
THERE WERE THUNDERSTORMS IN NEW JERSEY.

HEAVY, HEAVY RAINS.

THE BODY MUST HAVE BEEN FLUSHED DOWN
THE RANCOCAS AND INTO THE DELAWARE RIVER.

THEN SHE SLOWLY MADE HER WAY
DOWN THE DELAWARE AND INTO THE BAY.

THE MOVEMENT AND THE BATTERING
ON THE ROCKS LOOSENED HER WEIGHT,

SO SHE FLOATED TO THE
SURFACE AND WASHED ASHORE.

I'M PRETTY SURE KAREN
DIDN'T SEE THAT COMIN'.

NOW, YOU'RE SURE THIS IS IT?
ZINC, MICA, FECES. THIS IS THE PLACE.

OH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL HERE. YEAH, BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR A MURDER.

THE BODIES WERE WRAPPED
ON THE BANK OF THE RIVER.

SIFT THE SOIL FOR THE
MISSING BONES. YES, MA'AM.

AGENT BOOTH. OVER HERE.

LOOK AT THAT... "C.R."
CARLIE RICHARDSON'S INITIALS.

UGH.

YOU DON'T PACK FACE CREAM AND A
NIGHTGOWN IF YOU'RE BEING ABDUCTED.

A LOT OF VACATION CABINS NEARBY. IF SHE WAS
UPSET, THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO UNWIND.

WELL, KAREN TYLER SAID
THAT SHE LIKED CARLIE.

SHE COULD'VE BEFRIENDED
HER TO LURE HER UP HERE.

MAYBE CARLIE'S FRIENDS KNEW...

THAT SHE AND KAREN
WERE GETTING CHUMMY.

- DID CARLIE KNOW ABOUT HER?
- I THOUGHT THEY JUST
STARTED GOING OUT.

NO. THEY KNEW EACH
OTHER FROM BEFORE.

BASTARD. CARLIE KNEW
KYLE WAS CHEATING ON HER.

THAT'S WHY THEY WERE FIGHTING.
AND WHY SHE DIDN'T WANT THE BABY.

DID SHE SAY THAT? I DON'T
CARE WHAT'S HAPPENING.

TO SAY YOU DON'T WANT YOUR CHILD
WHEN YOU'RE GETTING READY TO GIVE BIRTH?

- IT'S NOT RIGHT.
- [Mary] I THINK I DID SEE THIS WOMAN.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK.
THEY WERE IN FRONT OF STARBUCKS.

I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS THE DAY SHE
DISAPPEARED. IT WAS AROUND THE SAME TIME.

- THANKS.
- [Child Wailing]

YOUR KID'S EATING SAND.

[Wailing Continues]

[Brennan] I DON'T KNOW
HOW THEY CAN DO IT.

THEY'RE SELF-OBSESSED.
THEY HAVE NO CONSCIENCE.

I DON'T KNOW. THEY DESTROY
ANYTHING THAT GETS IN THEIR WAY.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN
HUMAN. THE MOTHERS?

HUH? I WAS TALKING
ABOUT THE MOTHERS.

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE
KILLERS. I UNDERSTAND KILLERS.

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MOTHERS CAN DO IT. I
MEAN, DOGS CAN BE TRAINED IN A COUPLE WEEKS.

WITH KIDS, MOTHERS HAVE TO
GIVE UP THEIR LIVES FOR YEARS.

NO. WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR KID, YOU
DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GIVING UP ANYTHING.

SO YOU'D DO IT AGAIN? WHAT?

YOU'D HAVE PARKER EVEN WITH
EVERYTHING YOU'RE GOING THROUGH?

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS
THAT? WOULDN'T IT BE EASIER...

IF PARKER WASN'T CAUGHT IN THIS DRAMA OF
YOURS WITH REBECCA, THE NEW BOYFRIEND?

GOD, NO. NO, BONES. HE'S MY SON.

WHATEVER WE'RE GOING THROUGH,
IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT. HE KNOWS THAT.

THAT'S WHAT PARENTS SAY WHEN
THEY WANT TO JUSTIFY THEMSELVES.

YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T WALKED
OUT ON PARKER. ALL RIGHT?

I WOULD NEVER HAVE DONE
WHAT YOUR PARENTS DID.

WELL, I DIDN'T SAY YOU
WOULD. I JUST... I DON'T KNOW.

YOU'RE THE FATHER. I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT RAISING KIDS, SO...

PARKER'S FINE.

IT'S NOT KAREN TYLER. WHAT?

THE D.N.A. FROM UNDER CARLIE'S
FINGERNAILS DOESN'T MATCH.

AND SOMETHING ELSE IS WEIRD.

TISSUE FROM THE FETUS SHOWS
EVIDENCE OF ESCITALOPRAM. WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S A DRUG PRESCRIBED FOR
DEPRESSION. IT'S NOT WEIRD.

CARLIE RICHARDSON WAS HAVING
EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS WITH HER HUSBAND.

CARLIE RICHARDSON
WASN'T TAKING THE DRUG.

HOLD ON. NONE OF THIS IS
MAKING ANY SENSE. I AGREE.

THE ONLY WAY THE FETUS COULD
HAVE THE DRUG IN ITS SYSTEM...

IS IF IT WERE PASSED
FROM THE MOTHER IN UTERO.

OR THROUGH BREAST MILK. HOW DO
YOU BREAST-FEED AN UNBORN CHILD?

ZACK? WHOA.

AN INFANT'S SKULL IS MADE UP
OF SEVERAL SEPARATE BONES...

THAT ARE EVENTUALLY
FUSED TOGETHER.

LOOK AT THE MOLDING. OH, MY GOD.

- I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
- YEAH.

OKAY, NOW EVERYBODY
KNOWS BUT ME.

THIS IS NOT A FETUS.

THE SKULL BONES HAVE SHIFTED AND OVERLAPPED
BECAUSE THIS CHILD PASSED THROUGH THE BIRTH CANAL.

THIS BABY WAS BORN ALIVE
AND LIVED ABOUT TWO WEEKS.

BUT CARLIE WAS PREGNANT
WHEN SHE WAS LAST SEEN.

THIS ISN'T CARLIE
RICHARDSON'S CHILD.

THE ESCITALOPRAM IN ITS
SYSTEM CAME FROM BREAST MILK.

- THEN WHAT HAPPENED
TO HER BABY?
- [Baby Crying]

THE BABY WAS CUT
OUT OF HER AND STOLEN.

THIS CHILD REPLACED IT.

THIS CHILD WAS DEAD
BEFORE CARLIE WAS MURDERED.

YOU CAN SEE THE TRACES OF
BLOOD POOLING IN THE CRANIUM.

ABUSIVE HEAD TRAUMA. EVIDENCE
OF SHAKEN BABY SYNDROME.

OH, GOD.

YOU SAID THE LITTLE GUY
WAS ONLY TWO WEEKS OLD.

WHOEVER THE MOTHER WAS WAS PROBABLY TAKING
THE MEDICATION FOR POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION.

SHE GOT UPSET WITH THE BABY.
CRYING'S THE MOST COMMON CAUSE.

AND SHE SHOOK HIM
TO QUIET HIM DOWN.

IT CAN TAKE AS LITTLE AS FIVE SECONDS
FOR AN INFANT TO DIE BY SHAKING.

- FIVE SECONDS?
- THE VEINS THAT ATTACH
THE BRAIN...

TO THE INSIDE OF
THE SKULL DETACH.

BLOOD POOLS, THE BRAIN
SWELLS. [Booth] OKAY, I GET IT.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT THE MOTHER KILLS
HER OWN SON AND REPLACES HIM WITH CARLIE'S.

FITS THE PATTERN. SHE FEELS THE GUILT AT
WHAT SHE'S DONE AND NEEDS TO MAKE IT RIGHT,

PROVE TO HERSELF THAT
SHE'S STILL A GOOD MOTHER.

SO SHE TAKES CARLIE'S
CHILD AND MAKES IT HER OWN.

IT'S ONLY BEEN TWO WEEKS. NOT
MANY PEOPLE HAVE SEEN HER KID.

WHO WOULD KNOW?
BUT THE STAB WOUNDS.

ALL OF CARLIE'S STAB WOUNDS
ARE TO THE UPPER PART OF THE BODY.

THE KILLER WAS CAREFUL NOT
TO HIT CLOSE TO THE UTERUS...

BECAUSE SHE WANTED
THE BABY ALIVE.

YOUR REPORT INDICATES THERE
WERE KNIFE MARKS ON THE LOWER RIBS.

THEY SEEM TO BE MADE BY
WHATEVER INSTRUMENT WAS USED...

TO REMOVE THE CHILD
AFTER CARLIE WAS DEAD.

YEP. I'M WORKING
ON IDENTIFYING IT.

WE MIGHT BE ABLE
TO USE THE CHILD'S...

MOST PROMINENT GENETIC CHARACTERISTICS
TO SEE SIMILARITIES WITH THE MOTHER.

ANGE, CAN YOU INPUT THE INFORMATION
FROM THE INFANT'S SKULL TO GIVE US A FACE?

- SURE.
- [Cell Phone Ringing]

BOOTH. YEAH. RIGHT AWAY.

THEY'VE FOUND KYLE
RICHARDSON. [Clears Throat]

I WONDER IF HE'LL EVEN CARE.
FINDING OUT HIS WIFE IS DEAD.

HE DIDN'T KILL HER.
NO, BUT HE RAN.

HOW DO YOU JUST CUT YOUR
FAMILY OUT OF YOUR LIFE LIKE THAT?

WELL, WHAT ABOUT ABRAHAM? WHAT, YOU'RE
GONNA THROW RELIGION IN MY FACE RIGHT NOW?

I THOUGHT YOU FOUND
ANSWERS IN WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

THAT'S JUST ONE BIBLE
STORY THAT I JUST DON'T LIKE.

I MEAN, GOD COMMANDS ABRAHAM
TO KILL HIS OWN SON, AND HE DOES.

NO, ABRAHAM DOES NOT KILL ISAAC. BUT
OLD ABE, YOU KNOW, HE HAD THE INTENTION.

WELL, I THOUGHT WHAT HE HAD
WAS FAITH. LOOK, I HAVE FAITH.

BUT IF GOD HIMSELF CAME DOWN, POINTED AT
PARKER AND SAID, "I WANT YOU TO, YOU KNOW"...

THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.

BUT GOD'S MESSENGER
STOPPED ABRAHAM? YEAH.

GRABBED HIS HAND AT THE LAST SECOND
RIGHT BEFORE THE KNIFE WAS ABOUT TO GO IN.

OKAY, THEN THE LESSON I WOULD
LEARN FROM THIS MYTH... MYTH?

WELL, IT FITS THE
DEFINITION. OKAY, FINE.

THAT WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR
CHILDREN, YOUR LOVE HAS TO BE ABSOLUTE.

THE MESSENGER REPRESENTS
GOODNESS, WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE RIGHT.

ERGO, YOU HAVE TO REMAIN
OPEN TO WHAT YOU KNOW IS TRUE.

[Chuckles] ARE YOU SURE
YOU'RE NOT RELIGIOUS?

SCIENCE ALL THE WAY.
SCIENCE ALL THE WAY.

HEY, EVEN AN EMPIRICIST
CAN HAVE A HEART, BOOTH.

TOO BAD RICHARDSON DOESN'T.

JUST LOCK ME UP. I CAN'T
GO THROUGH THIS ANYMORE.

WE KNOW YOU DIDN'T DO IT.

WHAT? EVIDENCE DOESN'T FIT YOU.

THEN WHO WAS IT?
WHO KILLED THEM?

YOU RAN. SEEMS LIKE YOU'D
BE THE ONE WHO'D KNOW.

I WOULD'VE TOLD
SOMEONE IF I KNEW.

RIGHT. 'CAUSE, YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE SUCH AN HONORABLE GUY.

THE KNIFE, THE ROPE, THE SHEETING...
IT ALL CAME FROM YOUR PLACE,

AND WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL
THE POLICE IT WAS MISSING?

OH. WHAT, YOU CHECK OUT
WHAT'S IN YOUR GARAGE EVERY DAY?

IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING,
WHY DID YOU TAKE OFF?

BECAUSE I'M A BASTARD.

I'M A SELFISH, PATHETIC BASTARD, AND EVERYONE
HAD ALREADY DECIDED THAT I WAS GUILTY.

- THAT'S TRUE, BOOTH.
- BONES.

NO ONE WANTED TO FIND ANOTHER
SUSPECT. I KEPT ON INSISTING.

THANK YOU.

BUT I DIDN'T DO IT FOR YOU.

YOU ARE A PATHETIC BASTARD.

YOUR WIFE WAS HAVING YOUR BABY.

LOOK. I DID WANNA
LEAVE HER, YEAH.

I WAS OUT THAT NIGHT TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TELL HER,

WHAT WITH THE BABY
AND EVERYTHING.

BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE, I
DIDN'T WANT THEM TO DIE.

SO YOU HAVE NO
IDEA WHO DID THIS?

I SHOULD, SHOULDN'T I?

I MEAN, I IGNORED
HER FOR SO LONG.

IT'S LIKE THIS WHOLE
THING IS MY FAULT ANYWAY.

[Chuckles] YOU KNOW, IF I
HAD BEEN THERE THAT NIGHT,

MAYBE THEY'D STILL BE HERE.

WE THINK YOUR CHILD
MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THE BODIES YOU FOUND...

THAT WASN'T YOUR CHILD.

WHOEVER KILLED CARLIE TOOK
YOUR CHILD AND LEFT THEIRS.

OH, MY GOD.

THEN... SO WHERE'S MY KID?

WE DON'T KNOW.

ZACK WAS WORKING ON
THE OTHER KNIFE MARK.

I SAW STAINING IN THE
GROOVE IT LEFT, SO I DID TESTS.

THE STAIN WAS FROM BETADINE. IT'S AN
ANTISEPTIC USED TO PREP PATIENTS FOR SURGERY.

OH, SOMEONE WAS BEING REALLY
CAREFUL WHEN THEY WERE CUTTING HER UP.

IT WAS THE BABY THEY
WERE CONCERNED WITH.

WERE YOU ABLE TO GET ENOUGH DETAIL FROM
THE SKULL FOR A DIGITAL RECONSTRUCTION?

YEAH. SINCE SOMEONE THIS
YOUNG IS STILL BEING FORMED,

THE, UH, FEATURES
ARE GENERALIZED.

THE LAST PLACE I WORKED
HAD A DRUNK SKETCH ARTIST.

WOW.

IT'S A BABY. IT LOOKS
LIKE EVERY BABY.

THAT'S WHY I RAN THE RECONSTRUCTION
THROUGH AN AGING MATRIX.

IT POSITS THE MOST LIKELY GROWTH
PATTERN THE SKULL WOULD FOLLOW.

NOW AS IT AGES, THE FEATURES
BECOME MORE DISTINCT.

BY THE TIME HE'S ABOUT 10, HE SHOWS
VERY DEFINITE GENETIC CHARACTERISTICS.

ROBBIE! DON'T EAT THAT, HONEY.

[Babbling] THERE YOU
GO. THERE YOU GO.

THE MARK ON THE RIBS
WAS FROM A SCALPEL.

THE WOMAN IS A VET, SO SHE HAS MEDICAL
TRAINING, WHICH ALSO EXPLAINS THE BETADINE.

LOOK AT HER,
PLAYING WITH THE KID.

IT'S OKAY. SHH.
[Booth] MS. CORBIS.

- I'M GONNA HAVE TO ASK YOU
TO HAND US THE CHILD.
- WHAT? WHY?

I THINK YOU KNOW WHY.

NO. YOU WANT ME TO
GIVE YOU MY SON? NO.

HE'S NOT YOUR SON. WE
KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

HE IS. ROBBIE IS MY SON.

WE HAVE A WARRANT TO TAKE A
D.N.A. SAMPLE FROM YOU, MS. CORBIS.

IT'LL BE PRETTY HARD TO
ARGUE WITH THAT. [Robbie Fussing]

SHH.

- [Fussing Continues]
- SHH.

SHE DIDN'T WANT HIM.

SHE TOLD ME SHE WISHED SHE HAD NEVER GOTTEN
PREGNANT. IT WAS WRONG FOR HER TO HAVE HIM.

AND KILLING YOUR OWN
CHILD WASN'T WRONG?

THAT WAS A MISTAKE! I AM A
SINGLE MOTHER! I'M ALONE. [Crying]

I JUST... I JUST WANTED HIM TO STOP CRYING!
IT WAS JUST... IT WAS JUST A FEW SECONDS.

[Crying Continues]

THE DOCTOR SAID I WAS
SICK, BUT I'M ALL BETTER NOW.

I KNOW, SWEETIE.
I KNOW, SWEETIE.

- MS. CORBIS.
- YOU CAN'T TAKE HIM FROM ME. I'M A GOOD MOTHER.

YOU CAN ASK ANYBODY.
I'M A GOOD MOTHER.

IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

GIVE US THE CHILD.

[Crying Continues]

[Kisses, Sobs]

IT'S ALL RIGHT. IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY. I'M A GOOD MOTHER.

MARY CORBIS, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR THE
MURDER AND KIDNAPPING OF CARLIE RICHARDSON...

AND THE MURDER OF
YOUR SON, ROBERT CORBIS.

NO. THAT'S MY ROBBIE.
THAT'S MY ROBBIE.

I'M A GOOD MOTHER.
I'M A GOOD MOTHER.

[Sobbing] I'M A GOOD MOTHER.

HE'S FINE? HE'S PERFECT.

- [Sniffles] AND YOU'RE SURE?
- HE'S YOURS.

WHEN I THOUGHT HE
WAS GONE, AND CARLIE,

I WISHED I COULD'VE CHANGED
HOW THINGS HAD BEEN.

[Babbling]

[Babbling Continues]

DON'T YOU WANT TO HOLD HIM?

I DON'T KNOW. UM...

THE KIND OF GUY I
AM... I'M NO FATHER.

YOU DON'T GET TO DECIDE THAT.

YOU HAVE A SON.

STEP UP. TAKE HIM.

HEY.

[Laughs, Sighs]

[Sniffles] THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

[Sniffles] MMM.

HEY.

OH. MMM.

[Chuckles]

SO YOU THINK RICHARDSON
CAN RISE TO THE OCCASION?

BE A DECENT FATHER? WELL, HE'S GOT
CARLIE'S PARENTS TO HELP HIM, AND...

AND I LIKE TO THINK
THAT PEOPLE CAN CHANGE.

- FAITH AND HOPE, RIGHT?
- RIGHT.

ANGELA THREW IN
LOVE TOO. LOVE IS GOOD.

DADDY! DADDY!
DADDY! [Booth] PARKER!

LOOK WHAT I DID.
WOW! LOOK AT THAT!

UM, LISTEN, YOU STAY HERE
WITH DR. BRENNAN, OKAY?

I'M GONNA GO TALK TO
YOUR MOMMY, ALL RIGHT?

[Kisses] ALL RIGHT?

LISTEN, UH, THIS IS HOW
IT'S GOTTA GO DOWN?

I GOTTA MEET YOUR
BOYFRIEND WITH PARKER HERE?

- LOOK, MAN, WE'RE HERE
BECAUSE WE WANNA...
- I'M TALKING TO REBECCA.

LOOK, THIS WAS...
THIS WAS DREW'S IDEA.

AND I TOLD HIM THAT IT
WAS GONNA BE A BAD ONE.

- DAD, LOOK!
- ONE SECOND, BUD.

- BOOTH?
- PARKER WANTED YOU TO SEE
WHAT HE MADE FOR SCHOOL.

AND HE KEPT SAYING HOW MUCH HE
WANTED US TO MEET, THAT WE'D BE FRIENDS.

LOOK, I GOT A KID I DON'T
GET TO SEE MUCH MYSELF.

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE.

AND I SWEAR THE... THE
EXPLOSIVES WERE FOR WORK.

BOOTH?

OKAY, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK,
LOOK. WE ARE WHAT WE ARE.

AND-AND YOU CAN FIGHT IT IF YOU WANT,
BUT YOU'RE JUST GONNA FIGHT WITH YOURSELF.

MAYBE THIS ISN'T A
GOOD TIME. MAYBE LATER.

NO. NO, IT'S...
IT'S A GOOD TIME.

LET ME BUY YOU A CUP
OF COFFEE, ALL RIGHT?

NAH, IT'S COOL. HAVE A SEAT.

SERIOUSLY? THANKS, MAN.

IT'S OKAY, BONES. STAY.

[Clears Throat] IT'S A
FAMILY THING. BYE, PARKER.

[Parker] BYE. BYE.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT DO WE GOT
HERE? HUH? A DI... A DIORAMA.

[Booth] WHOA! [Parker] IT'S
THE ZOO. DREW HELPED ME.

- THE ZOO? I HOPE
YOU THANKED HIM, HUH?
- YEAH.

- YOU DID, HUH?
- WE GOT TO GO TO THE ZOO.

HE KNOWS ALL THE ANIMALS.

ALL THE ANIMALS? WOW.

OKAY, WELL, MAYBE AFTERWARDS WE COULD, UH, ALL
GO OUT TO DINNER, IF IT'S OKAY WITH YOUR MOM.

YEAH. THAT... THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

- MY DAD KNOWS A BURGERS PLACE.
- YEAH. I USED TO TAKE HIM THERE
AFTER HIS T-BALL.

SO GO AHEAD. TELL
DREW ABOUT THE BURGER.

HE SAYS THEY'RE
AS BIG AS MY HEAD.

YEAH, BIG AS YOUR HEAD. WE CAN
ALL GO. WE COULD EVEN BRING "STU."

[Chattering]

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
