Bones (2005–2017): Season 2, Episode 7 - The Girl with the Curl - full transcript

[Woman On Radio] CORONER
VAN 3, WHAT'S YOUR E.T.A.?

[Radio Chatter] [Booth] THEY FOUND
THE VICTIM IN THE FILTRATION SYSTEM.

JUST, YOU KNOW, SOME BONES, AND
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TO MAKE OF THEM.

I MEAN, LOOK AT THIS.

MILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS ARE
SPENT TO CLEAN AND TREAT TAP WATER,

AND YET PEOPLE SPEND
BILLIONS ON BOTTLED WATER.

WELL, IT'S CLEANER. LOOK, IT COMES
FROM A CLEAN MOUNTAIN STREAM.

YEAH, WHICH CONTAINS
FECAL MATTER FROM ANIMALS.

THERE'S NO BONES IN IT, THOUGH, IS
THERE? DON'T WANT THAT IN YOUR WATER.

EXCUSE ME. UM, DO YOU KNOW
HOW LONG THIS IS GONNA TAKE?

- DEPARTMENT WANTS TO KNOW
WHEN I CAN GET BACK ON LINE.
- [Man] BAG THAT AND MARK IT.



ANY WAY TO DETERMINE
WHERE THE BODY ORIGINATED?

WATER COMES HERE THROUGH PIPELINES
THAT TRAVEL THROUGH FIVE DIFFERENT STATES.

THAT'S WHY I CALLED THE FEDS IN.

GREAT. HOW MANY MILES OF PIPE?

ABOUT 1,800.

I'M GONNA NEED A SCHEMATIC OF THE
ENTIRE SYSTEM AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

SURE. YEAH. BONES?

SWIRL TREATMENT SPED THE RATE OF DECOMP. DEATH
WAS MOST LIKELY LESS THAN THREE MONTHS AGO.

THE SACRUM IS SMALL,
STILL DEVELOPING.

A KID.

A LITTLE GIRL,

ABOUT EIGHT TO 10 YEARS OLD.

[Chattering]

[Booth] HEY, ANY LUCK
WITH THE CAUSE OF DEATH?



[Zack] EH, POSTMORTEM TRAUMA
MAKES ASSIGNATION OF CAUSE DIFFICULT.

GREAT. "NO" WOULD'VE
BEEN JUST FINE.

THERE ARE BANDS OF DISCOLORATION ON THE RIBS.
CAM MIGHT FIND OUT WHY WITH A TOX SCREEN.

I'D LIKE THOSE CLOTHES AS SOON AS I CAN
GET 'EM. LOTS OF CRUSTY BUGS AND SLIME.

ALL YOURS. ZACK, SPEND
SOME TIME WITH THE TEETH.

- THEY SHOULD BE
MORE DISCOLORED.
- EVERYTHING OKAY HERE?

YEAH, SURE. HEY. YOU KNOW?

- HOW'S THINGS?
- YOU KNOW, MURDER AND STUFF.

JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE
OFFICE. HOW ABOUT YOU?

SAME OLD SAME OLD.

LISTEN, THE BUREAU'S RUNNING LOCATION CHECKS
FOR REGISTERED PEDOPHILES IN THE AREA,

BUT WE CAN'T DO MUCH UNTIL
WE, YOU KNOW, I.D. THE GIRL.

I'M RUNNING D.N.A. ON THE
HAIRS I PULLED FROM THE SKULL.

THERE'S SOMETHING FUNKY ABOUT
IT. THE ROOTS CONFIRM BROWN HAIR.

THE BLONDE IS FROM OXIDIZED
THIOLS EVIDENT IN THE HAIR SHAFT.

- HER HAIR WAS BLEACHED?
- WAIT, COME ON. I MEAN, WHAT
NINE-YEAR-OLD DYES HER HAIR?

WELL, THAT MIGHT
EXPLAIN WHY MY SKETCH...

ISN'T GETTING ANY HITS FROM
THE MISSING CHILDREN'S DATABASE.

ZACK, LOOK AT THE REMAINS
AGAIN WITH A FOCUS...

ON ANY PHYSICAL ANOMALIES
THAT COULD HAMPER IDENTIFICATION.

- I'VE GOT RESULTS COOKING, SO...
- SURE. YEAH. SEE YOU LATER.

- DON'T YOU HAVE WORK TO DO?
- DON'T YOU?

[Chuckles]

RIGHT. RIGHT.

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO RUN A TOX SCREEN
WITH THE TISSUE LEFT ON HER CLAVICLE.

THE SCRAPINGS THAT I TOOK FROM THE CHEEK
AND EYE SOCKET CONTAIN PROPYLENE GLYCOL,

FRAGRANCE, DYES AND LANOLIN.
SHE WAS WEARING MAKEUP?

I WAS GOING TO USE DENTITION TO
NARROW DOWN THE AGE RANGE, BUT LOOK.

SHE HAS FALSE TEETH?

WHAT THE HELL
HAPPENED TO THIS KID?

- THE FALSE TEETH REPLACE
THE MISSING DECIDUOUS TEETH.
- BABY TEETH.

AND THE OTHER
TEETH WERE VENEERED.

WHAT IS SHE? A MIDGET STRIPPER?

[Angela] OKAY, THIS IS THE COLOR SHE
WOULD'VE HAD FROM THE BLEACHING.

[Hodgins] I THINK THE ALKALOIDS
WOULD MAKE THE COLOR BRIGHTER.

OKAY, SO SOME TWISTED PSYCHO KILLER GIVES THIS
LITTLE GIRL A MAKEOVER BEFORE HE KILLS HER?

I HATE WORKING WITH KIDS. CHILDHOOD
SHOULD BE ALL ABOUT SWINGS.

- SWINGS?
- YEAH. YOU KNOW,
HOW HIGH CAN I GO?

IF I TWIST THE CHAINS,
HOW FAST WILL I SPIN?

WHAT IF I TRY TO JUMP OFF
BEFORE THE SWING STOPS?

- EXACTLY.
- [Hodgins] I MISS THAT FEELING.

- YEAH. ME TOO.
- I MISS
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY CLASS.

- THOSE WERE GOOD TIMES.
- I MISS MY FIRST MICROSCOPE.

GREAT. YEAH. AND I MISS
NORMAL PEOPLE. CAN WE GO ON?

- FACTOR IN THE TEETH.
- [Beeping]

YEAH, YOU KNOW? BECAUSE,
UH, THIS ISN'T WEIRD ENOUGH.

HODGINS SUPPLIED
THE TYPES OF MAKEUP.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT.

- SHE LOOKS 30.
- OKAY, RUN THE IMAGE
AGAINST THE DATABASE NOW.

[Beeping]

OH, MY GOD. THAT'S
BRIANNA SWANSON.

- WHO?
- THE LITTLE BEAUTY QUEEN WHO
DISAPPEARED A FEW MONTHS AGO.

[Angela] IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
LITTLE MISS JUNIOR PATRIOT PAGEANT.

JUST NINE YEARS OLD.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN...

THERE ISN'T EVEN ENOUGH
OF HER FOR ME TO SEE?

THE BODY TRAVELED
THROUGH MILES OF PIPING.

AND THEN AFTER THREE MONTHS...

[Crying] SHE WAS SO
BEAUTIFUL, WASN'T SHE?

I ALWAYS THOUGHT
SOMEDAY SHE'D COME BACK.

I EVEN FILLED OUT HER APPLICATION TO
THE JUNIOR MISS STARLITE COMPETITION.

SHE WOULD'VE WON HER DIVISION.

WE'RE VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

MS. SWANSON, I DISCOVERED DENTAL WORK ON
BRIANNA ONE DOESN'T USUALLY SEE ON A CHILD.

THE VENEERS AND THE CAPS?
YEAH. A LOT OF THE GIRLS HAD THEM.

STATISTICALLY, THAT'S...
THAT'S NOT TRUE.

WELL, BRIANNA TOOK SOME ANTIBIOTICS
WHEN SHE WAS A BABY THAT STAINED HER TEETH.

SHE WAS VERY SELF-CONSCIOUS ABOUT THAT,
SO I WANTED HER TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT HERSELF.

A NINE-YEAR-OLD IS HARDLY MATURE ENOUGH
TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ABOUT...

YOU WERE AT THE COMPETITION IN DELAWARE
WHEN BRIANNA WENT MISSING, CORRECT?

YEAH. I NEVER MISSED A
PAGEANT. I NEVER WOULD.

BUT YOU WEREN'T... YOU WEREN'T
WITH HER WHEN, UH, SHE DISAPPEARED?

NO. I LEFT HER ALONE IN
OUR ROOM FOR A MINUTE.

WHEN I CAME BACK, SHE WAS GONE.

THERE'S NOT A DAY THAT GOES BY
THAT I DON'T HATE MYSELF FOR THAT.

ACCORDING TO INITIAL REPORTS, YOU SUSPECTED
YOUR EX-HUSBAND OF KIDNAPPING BRIANNA?

WELL, HE WAS TRYING TO GET
CUSTODY OF HER FOR OVER A YEAR. YEAH.

DAVID WAS NOT FIT TO BE A FATHER.
HE WANTED BRIANNA OUT OF SPITE.

AND HE TRIED TO DROWN
ME IN LAWYER FEES.

WAS YOUR EX-HUSBAND
VIOLENT WITH YOU OR BRIANNA?

NOT PHYSICALLY, NO. BUT
ONCE WHEN WE WERE FIGHTING,

HE SAID THAT HE WOULD RATHER HAVE BRIANNA END
UP IN A DITCH SOMEWHERE THAN TURN OUT LIKE ME.

IT'S THE "EVENING WEAR"
CATEGORY THAT GETS ME.

MY EVENING WEAR'S A RATTY
T-SHIRT AND A MUD MASK.

THERE'S BLEEDING EVIDENT
UNDER THE MENTAL FORAMEN.

THERE WAS COMPLETE DISRUPTION
OF ALL VENTRAL LIGAMENTS...

BETWEEN THE VICTIM'S SKULL AND
THE FIRST AND SECOND VERTEBRAE.

HER NECK WAS BROKEN.

DISLOCATED FRACTURE OF THE MANDIBLE
SUGGESTS HER DEATH WAS CAUSED...

BY A STRONG BLOW TO THE CHIN
BY AN OBJECT HEAVY ENOUGH...

TO LEAVE MARKINGS ON
HER MENTAL FORAMEN.

I FOUND FRAGMENTS OF
STEEL IN THE VICTIM'S JACKET.

THERE WAS ALSO AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT
OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS.

I ASSUME THAT MEANS SOMETHING.

POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC
HYDROCARBONS ARE FOUND IN SOOT,

PESTICIDES,
CREOSOTES, ROOFING TAR.

THE ORIGINAL POLICE REPORT SAID
BRIANNA'S FATHER WAS A ROOFER.

YEAH. INTERESTING
COINCIDENCE, HUH?

- I'LL CALL BOOTH.
- ABOUT THIS?

- YOU HAVE A ROOFING BUSINESS?
- UH, YEAH.

I... I... I WENT OUT ON MY OWN
WHEN BRIANNA WAS BORN.

THOUGHT I COULD MAKE
SOME MORE MONEY, YOU KNOW?

DO YOU USE MASTIC
ASPHALT IN YOUR WORK?

UH, YEAH, FOR WATERPROOFING.

WHY? WERE YOU WORKING THE
DAY YOUR DAUGHTER DISAPPEARED?

NO. IT WAS THE WEEKEND.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS GETTING AT?

WE'RE JUST TRYING TO PIECE
THINGS TOGETHER. THAT'S ALL.

DAMN IT! I ANSWERED ALL THESE QUESTIONS
WHEN BRIANNA FIRST WENT MISSING.

- THIS IS JACKIE'S DOING, RIGHT?
- YOU WANTED YOUR DAUGHTER BACK.

SOMETIMES IN A DIVORCE, THE EMOTIONS GET A
LITTLE HIGH, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

NO. I KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED.

JACKIE WASTED SO MUCH TIME HAVING THE
COPS CHECK ME OUT, THE CASE WENT COLD.

THIS IS ALL JACKIE'S FAULT.

LOOK.

THIS WAS MY LITTLE GIRL.

NOT WHAT JACKIE TURNED HER INTO.

THIS IS WHO I WANTED BACK.

YOU, UH...

YOU DIDN'T GIVE HER
THE REMAINS, DID YOU?

NO. WE CAN'T RELEASE THEM.

NOT BEFORE THE
INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETED.

I WANT HER BURIED RIGHT.

I DON'T WANT HER FUNERAL TO BE
SOME DISGUSTING SHOW JACKIE PUTS ON.

I WANT TO BURY HER WITH
SOME LOVE, YOU KNOW?

[Beeping]

HOW'S IT GOING?

F.B.I. SENT OVER THE SECURITY TAPES FROM
THE HOTEL WHERE BRIANNA'S PAGEANT WAS HELD.

I'M RUNNING THEM THROUGH THE
BODY MASS RECOGNITION PROGRAM.

MAYBE WE'LL FIND A SHOT OF
HER LEAVING WITH SOMEBODY.

[Hodgins] COULD YOU EVER DO THIS
TO YOUR KID? [Angela] YOU KNOW ME.

I'M ALL ABOUT THE SWINGS.

DID YOU BRING ME
SOMETHING? UH, YEAH, YEAH.

THIS WAS IN THE ZIPPERED POCKET OF
WHAT WAS LEFT OF BRIANNA'S JACKET.

IT'S TREATED CELLULOSE. CAN
YOU GET ANY DETAILS FROM IT?

I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT.

LISTEN, ANGELA.

WE'VE BEEN DANCING AROUND
THIS FOR MONTHS NOW...

LIKE TWO PIECES OF NEODYMIUM
CAUGHT IN A MAGNETIC FIELD.

[Chuckles] IS THAT GOOD? YEAH.

BUT IF THE FIELD
WEAKENS, THEY FLY APART.

WHICH IS WHY I THOUGHT
THEY SHOULD GO ON A DATE.

HODGINS... YOU CAN'T SAY
THAT YOU DON'T FEEL IT.

COME ON. WE OWE IT TO
OURSELVES TO GIVE IT A TRY.

I... I JUST DON'T THINK IT
WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.

I MEAN, WE WORK TOGETHER, JACK.

ANGELA... I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.

I'LL EXAMINE THE PAPER AFTER
I GO THROUGH THE VIDEOS.

SURE.

THIS IS THE RIB CAGE OF A
HEALTHY 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL.

AND THIS... IS OUR
VICTIM'S RIB CAGE.

OUCH.

THIS IS AN X-RAY OF A
TEENAGE GIRL WHO DIED IN 1872.

- WHAT CAUSED THE DEFORMITY? WAS IT GENETIC?
- IT WAS A CORSET,

TIGHTENED A LITTLE
MORE EACH DAY.

BASED ON THE
DEGREE OF MISSHAPING,

I'D SAY BRIANNA SLEPT
IN ONE EVERY NIGHT.

- THAT'S TORTURE.
- [Brennan] I IMAGINE
IT WAS TO GIVE HER...

AN HOURGLASS FIGURE, WHICH WOULDN'T BE
POSSIBLE NATURALLY UNTIL WELL INTO PUBERTY.

YOU GOTTA BE... YOU'RE TELLING
ME HER MOM DID THIS TO HER?

PEOPLE HAVE DONE MUCH WORSE FOR
BEAUTY... NECK STRETCHING, FOOT BINDING...

OKAY. AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT
MAKES IT OKAY? WELL, OF COURSE NOT.

ANY MAJOR ALTERATION OF OUR
UNDERLYING ARCHITECTURE DEMEANS US.

YOU KNOW, WE ALL HAVE ASPECTS OF
OURSELVES WE MIGHT WISH WERE DIFFERENT.

YES. I WANTED LARGER BICEPS BEFORE I
BECAME COMFORTABLE WITH MY MENTAL ACUITY.

- [Grunts]
- HERE, YOU CAN SEE...

CRIBRA ORBITALIA, SUGGESTING BRIANNA
SUFFERED FROM LONG-TERM MALNOURISHMENT.

THERE'S NO ENAMEL
EROSION TO INDICATE BULIMIA,

SO IT'S MORE LIKELY SHE'S BEEN ON A
CALORIE-CONTROLLED DIET FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS.

- OH, IT GETS BETTER.
- OH, HOW CAN IT NOT?

HER TOX SCREEN CAME BACK
WITH TRACES OF SOMATROPIN,

TETRACYCLINE AND
GLYCOPYRRONIUM BROMIDE.

[Zack] HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE, BROAD-SPECTRUM
ANTIBIOTIC USED TO TREAT ACNE,

AND A CHEMICAL MIXTURE
THAT CONTROLS PERSPIRATION.

ALL WITH SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS.

NO PRESCRIPTIONS
WERE EVER ISSUED.

SO MOM BOUND, STARVED
AND DRUGGED HER.

THAT'S HEARTWARMING.

OUR SOCIETY PUTS A PREMIUM ON
BEAUTY. COMMON IN DECLINING CULTURES.

HEY, GUYS, YOU SHOULD
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

THIS WAS TIME-STAMPED
A HALF HOUR...

BEFORE JACKIE SWANSON
REPORTED BRIANNA MISSING.

- THERE.
- BRIANNA, COME ON! RIGHT NOW!

- [Brianna] LET GO OF ME!
- [Shouting Continues]

SHE SAID NOT A DAY GOES BY
THAT SHE DOESN'T HATE HERSELF.

[Booth] I CAN SEE WHY.

IF JACKIE'S WILLING TO RISK HER
CHILD'S LIFE TO WIN THESE PAGEANTS...

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF HER
DAUGHTER REFUSED TO COMPETE?

WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS
THAT THIS WAS BRIANNA'S DREAM, NOT MINE.

YOU PUT YOUR NINE-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTER IN A CORSET, MS. SWANSON.

A CORSET. YEAH. BRIANNA ORDERED
THAT OFF THE INTERNET HERSELF.

AND I DIDN'T TIGHTEN
IT UP VERY MUCH.

DID YOU EVER THINK
TO TELL BRIANNA...

THAT SHE DIDN'T NEED TO ALTER HER
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE IN ORDER TO BE LOVED?

DID BRIANNA DISAPPOINT YOU
SOMEHOW? NO. SHE WAS A PERFECT ANGEL.

SHE WON EVERY COMPETITION, EVEN HER FIRST ONE.
AND AFTER THAT, IT WAS MUSIC AND DANCE CLASSES.

- SHE WAS A REAL COMPETITOR.
- AND WHEN SHE WON,
IT REFLECTED WELL ON YOU.

THAT WAY YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO
DEAL WITH YOUR OWN PHYSICAL IDENTITY.

- I DON'T LIKE HER.
- WHOA.

LET'S... PLAY A LITTLE
SHOW-AND-TELL, SHALL WE, HMM?

HOW ABOUT THIS? CAN YOU
EXPLAIN THESE? THIS THERE.

AND THEN THAT ONE...
MY FAVORITE ONE.

OKAY, THESE...

THESE ARE RIGHT
BEFORE SHE DISAPPEARED.

- WE HAD A... DISAGREEMENT.
- ABOUT THE PAGEANT?

NO. ABOUT HER PIANO PIECE. I
SUGGESTED SHE USE HER ELBOW...

TO HIT THE LAST NOTE WITH HER HEAD IN HER
HANDS, GIVE THE AUDIENCE A LITTLE SMILE.

- IT'S CALLED DAZZLE.
- AND SHE DIDN'T
WANT TO DO THAT?

NO. SHE DIDN'T WANT DAZZLE. SHE
WANTED TO FINISH IT PERFECTLY.

BUT IT SEEMS VERY SILLY NOW.

- ONLY NOW?
- WHAT HAPPENED
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THIS?

I SENT HER UP TO OUR ROOM, AND I SENT MYSELF TO
THE HOTEL BAR FOR A VERY LARGE GLASS OF ROSÉ.

AND BELIEVE ME, I WAS NOT THE ONLY
MOTHER DOING THE EXACT SAME THING.

GREAT. I'M SURE YOU CAN PROVIDE ME
WITH A LIST OF THE OTHER MOTHERS. HMM?

BLOOD WOULD'VE RUSHED TO THE INJURED
AREAS THAT ARE EVIDENT ON HER X-RAYS,

BUT THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF
BLOOD FLOW HERE OR HERE OR HERE.

SO SHE WAS BEATEN
AFTER SHE DIED.

THE BLOWS APPEAR TO BE
CONSISTENT WITH KICKING,

BUT THE DISPERSAL
PATTERN IS ABNORMAL.

CAN YOU TELL ANYTHING
ABOUT THE SHOES? SIZE? MAKE?

ONLY THAT THEY ARE QUITE
RIGID, POSSIBLY STEEL-TOED.

AND HODGINS SAID HE FOUND
FRAGMENTS OF STEEL IN THE JACKET.

[Exhales]

HODGINS ASKED ME OUT. [Gasps]

IS THAT WHY YOU'RE
HIDING IN HERE?

I'M NOT HIDING. I NEED ADVICE.

WHAT? ON A PERSONAL MATTER?

- YES.
- FROM ME?

- YES.
- BUT ROMANCE IS SORT OF...

THIS IS LIKE ME ASKING YOU ADVICE
ON PHYLOGENETIC SYSTEMATICS.

PHYLOGENETIC SYSTEMATICS.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS.

- EXACTLY.
- WELL, I CAN'T ASK CAM.

- CAN'T ASK CAM WHAT?
- OH, HODGINS ASKED ANGELA
OUT ON A DATE.

- BRENNAN!
- WHAT? WAS IT A SECRET?

IT WAS A SECRET.

I JUST CAME TO ASK IF YOU'D MADE
ANY PROGRESS ON THE CELLULOSE.

- NO.
- OKAY.

WAIT. YOU CAN'T PRETEND
YOU DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT THIS.

- FINE. WHAT'D YOU TELL HIM?
- NO.

WHY? BECAUSE IT
WOULD BE A DISASTER.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU
HAVE AN OPINION ON THIS?

YOU SHOULD NEVER INDULGE IN A ROMANTIC
RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEONE YOU WORK WITH.

- WHY NOT?
- WELL, ANTHROPOLOGICALLY?

THERE'S AN
ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANSWER?

AN EFFICIENT WORKPLACE IS
PREDICATED UPON A SIMPLE HIERARCHY.

ROMANCE UNDERMINES
THAT HIERARCHY.

THIS IS LIKE WHEN I HAD AN AFFAIR
WITH MY THESIS SUPERVISOR IN COLLEGE.

DON'T THINK WE HAVE
TIME FOR THAT. I SAY GO.

- WHAT ABOUT
THIS HIERARCHICAL-SEXUAL?
- WON'T BE AN ISSUE.

IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO
FLIRT IN THE WORKPLACE.

BUT OUT THERE, WHEN FANTASY
BECOMES A REALITY, IT'S A DRAG.

WHAT? THE DATE WILL BE BAD?

IT WILL BE AWFUL. YOU'LL BOTH
REALIZE IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE.

THERE'LL BE A COUPLE DAYS OF AWKWARDNESS,
AND THEN EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL.

IF I WERE YOU, I'D GO
WITH CAM ON THIS ONE.

- WHY?
- PHYLOGENETIC SYSTEMATICS.

I HAVE TO GO TO DANCE CLASS.

[Sighs]

♪♪ [Background: Disco] [Booth]
BECKY SWANSON'S ALIBI CHECKS OUT.

SHE WAS IN THE BAR WHEN
BRIANNA DISAPPEARED.

CAN'T WE JUST PROSECUTE
HER FOR BEING HORRIBLE?

THAT THE DANCE TEACHER?

[Booth] YEAH. THAT'S
CHARLOTTE CRAFT. GOOD.

SHE OWNS THE STUDIO. SHE ALSO
RUNS THE JUNIOR MISS PATRIOT PAGEANT.

I MEAN, SHE'S GOTTA BE ABLE
TO GIVE US SOMETHING, RIGHT?

I ALWAYS WANTED TO TAKE DANCE,

BUT I WAS SO GAWKY AND
UNCOORDINATED. WHAT? YOU?

LATER I UNDERSTOOD THAT
THE GAWKINESS WAS CAUSED...

BY AN ASYMMETRICAL
DEVELOPMENT OF THE ILIAC CREST.

OH, YEAH. BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD'VE GUESSED.

THE OLD, UH, ILIAC CREST.
HI. WHICH ONE'S YOURS?

HMM? WHICH WHAT IS
WHAT? WHAT? MINE? OURS?

OURS? OH, NO, NO.

WHOA. WE'RE NOT... [Chuckles]
NO. NO, NO. THAT'S NOT...

[Clears Throat] WE'RE... F.B.I.

OH, WOW. REALLY? MM-HMM.

OH, ARE YOU HERE
ABOUT BRIANNA SWANSON?

DID YOU KNOW BRIANNA?
YEAH. VERY WELL.

I'M KRISTEN MITCHELL.

THAT'S MY DAUGHTER ARIEL BY THE
BAR, WITH THE GRAY LEG WARMERS.

THEY... THEY TOOK CLASSES
TOGETHER, WERE IN THE SAME PAGEANTS.

SOMETIMES I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER, WHAT
IF IT HAD BEEN ARIEL WHO GOT KIDNAPPED?

WHY DO YOU ASSUME
SHE WAS KIDNAPPED?

WELL, I CAN'T IMAGINE
BRIANNA JUST RUNNING AWAY.

WELL, THESE PAGEANTS ARE VERY COMPETITIVE.
THERE WAS A LOT OF PRESSURE PROBABLY ON HER.

[Scoffs] TO BRIANNA?
UH, NO. NO WAY.

I MEAN, SHE HAD THE FACE
OF AN ANGEL, BUT UNDERNEATH,

LET'S JUST SAY SHE HAD HER SIGHTS
SET ON WINNING THAT PAGEANT.

WHY?

- I DON'T UNDERSTAND
THE QUESTION.
- WHAT'S THE DRAW HERE?

OH, MY GOD. THE
GIRLS, THEY LOVE IT.

THEY GET TO DRESS UP ALL GLAMOROUS, ALL
THE ATTENTION, THE LIGHTS AND THE MUSIC.

ALL RIGHT, GIRLS. THAT'S ENOUGH
FOR TODAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THERE'S ENOUGH PRESSURE
ON YOUNG FEMALES...

WITHOUT MAKING THEM
PREMATURELY SEXUALIZED.

[Scoffs] I AM SORRY, BUT THAT IS
JUST NARROW-MINDED PREJUDICE.

I WAS IN PAGEANTS MY
ENTIRE CHILDHOOD. I LOVED 'EM.

AND THEY SENT ME TO
COLLEGE ON A FULL SCHOLARSHIP.

- HEY, MOMMY, I'M FINISHED.
- HEY, HON.

NICE JOB.

AND GOOD FOCUS.

THANKS. [Chuckles]

WELL, I HOPE YOU FIND
THE MAN RESPONSIBLE.

AGENT BOOTH? I'VE GOT ABOUT
20 MINUTES TILL MY NEXT CLASS.

OKAY. OKAY. OKAY.

OH, YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T, UH... WHY
DON'T YOU GO MINGLE? WHAT? WHY ME?

BECAUSE YOU'RE A GIRL. WHAT?

LISTEN, BECAUSE IT'S ILLEGAL FOR ME TO QUESTION
ANY OF THESE KIDS WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS, OKAY?

LOOK, YOU'RE A CIVILIAN.
OKAY? SO TAKE YOUR PICK.

GOOD POINT.

BEHOLD THE KEEPERS OF MYSTERY...

THE SPHECIUS SPECIOSUS AND HIS
TRUSTY SIDEKICK, THE TIBICEN LYRICEN.

OOH. AAH.

WHAT MYSTERY?

IF BRIANNA SWANSON WAS
KIDNAPPED, THEY DIDN'T TAKE HER FAR.

THE PRESENCE OF THESE TWO
SPECIES TOGETHER SUGGESTS THAT...

SHE DIED WITHIN A ONE-MILE RADIUS
OF THE HOTEL WHERE SHE DISAPPEARED.

THAT WHOLE AREA WAS THOROUGHLY
SEARCHED WITHIN HOURS OF HER DISAPPEARANCE.

YEAH. I THINK HER BODY WAS JAMMED
INTO A STORM CULVERT FOR OVER A MONTH...

UNTIL THOSE THUNDERSTORMS
TWO WEEKS AGO...

WASHED THE REMAINS DOWN
TO THE TREATMENT PLANT.

F.B.I. FORENSICS SHOULD CHECK
OUT THE CULVERTS AND DRAINS...

LARGE ENOUGH FOR A NINE-YEAR-OLD
GIRL AROUND THE HOTEL. I'LL TELL BOOTH.

[Chuckling] HEY.

DON'T COME AROUND AGAIN
LOOKING FOR A SECOND CHANCE.

THAT WAS A ONE-TIME OFFER, BABY.

REALLY? HMM.

NO. WHAT? NO.

NO, NO. NOT... NOT REALLY.

I MEAN, IT NEVER OCCURRED
TO ME THAT YOU WOULD...

OKAY, NOW YOU TALK.

I ACCEPT GOING ON A
DATE WITH YOU SOON.

TONIGHT? [Chuckling]

WOW. THAT IS SOON.

I DON'T WANNA GIVE YOU
TIME TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.

WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO?

YOU ASKED ME.

FIGURE IT OUT.

THANK YOU.

[Beeps] I TOOK THIS
AT THE PAGEANT...

ABOUT A HALF AN HOUR
BEFORE BRIANNA DISAPPEARED.

DID YOU SHOW IT
TO THE POLICE? NO.

WHY NOT? BECAUSE HE'S NOT
SOME MURDEROUS PEDOPHILE.

HE'S THE 17-YEAR-OLD BROTHER OF ONE OF THE
CONTESTANTS. THEN WHY'D YOU TAKE HIS PICTURE?

WELL, TO SHOW HIS PARENTS HOW
CREEPY HE SEEMS HANGING AROUND.

HE COULD BE SUCH
A GOOD-LOOKING BOY.

WHAT'S HIS NAME?

JEREMY FERRELL.

LOOK, I KNOW HE DRESSES IN BLACK AND
MOPES AROUND, BUT HE'S TOTALLY HARMLESS.

HMM. I'M GONNA NEED A COPY
OF THIS PICTURE. CERTAINLY.

[Girl] IS THAT A REAL SKELETON?

YES, OF A 12-YEAR-OLD
FROM THE BRONZE AGE.

THESE BONES SHOW SHE'D
ALREADY HAD CHILDREN.

- WHAT KILLED HER?
- HAVING THE CHILDREN.

SHE SHOULD'VE WAITED TO BE
MARRIED BEFORE SHE HAD SEX.

YOU SAID "SEX."

WERE YOU GIRLS IN THE
JUNIOR MISS PATRIOT PAGEANT?

- I CAME IN FOURTH.
- IF BRIANNA WAS THERE,
YOU'D HAVE BEEN FIFTH.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD TO
LOSE YOUR FRIEND LIKE THAT.

BRIANNA WAS KIND OF MEAN.
SHE SAID LIZA HAD CANKLES.

- WHAT ARE CANKLES?
- WHERE YOUR CALVES AND YOUR
ANKLES ARE THE SAME THING.

SHE TOOK MY BIRTHDAY WATCH
TOO. SHE'D TAKE ANYTHING SHE LIKED.

- SO YOU WEREN'T FRIENDS?
- YOU HAD TO BE FRIENDS
WITH HER.

- WHY?
- BECAUSE BRIANNA WAS THE QUEEN.

SO YOURS WAS A
CULTURAL STRUCTURE...

PREDICATED ON THE EQUATION
OF BEAUTY WITH POWER.

YOU INSTINCTIVELY ALIGN
YOURSELVES WITH SOMEONE...

WHO HOLDS THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL FOR SOCIETAL SUPREMACY.

IT'S A DARWINIAN PRESSURE
YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO BEAR.

OKAY. COME ON, BONES. UP YOU GO.

[Grunts] THERE YOU GO.

YOU HAVE HUGE
MUSCLES. [Booth] THANKS.

LEARN ANYTHING?

- YEAH, I LEARNED ABOUT CANKLES. HOW ABOUT YOU?
- I FOUND A POSSIBLE SUSPECT.

WELL, CAM AND ZACK SAID THAT BRIANNA
WAS KICKED WITH A STEEL-TOED BOOT.

LOOKS LIKE MY POSSIBLE SUSPECT
JUST BECAME OUR PRIMARY SUSPECT.

OF COURSE. I'M AT EVERY PAGEANT.

OKAY, YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS?

LOOK, I MAKE HIM COME...

TO CARRY HALEY'S CHANGES AND THE
PROPS FOR HER TALENT COMPETITION.

WELL, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF KIDS HIS
AGE, THEY'D... THEY'D JUST REFUSE.

OKAY, SO WHAT? SO THEN I'M A... I'M
A BAD KID BECAUSE I'M A GOOD KID?

MMM. WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS LOOK?

- IT'S NOT A LOOK.
- EMO. IT'S CALLED EMO.

- NO, IT'S NOT.
- IT'S SHORT FOR OVERLY EMOTIVE.

NO, MOM. NO, IT'S NOT. OKAY? I
LIKE THESE CLOTHES. I LIKE THIS HAIR.

IT'S NOT EMO. IT'S NOT ANYTHING.

- YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?
- HE DOES.

SHE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HIM.

ARE YOU GUYS, LIKE, REAL
BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT? DO WE HAVE SEX?

I DON'T KNOW. YOU TELL ME.
WHY? BECAUSE IF WE DON'T,

THEN I'M JUST... I'M SOME PERVERT
WHO'S GOT A THING FOR LITTLE GIRLS?

THE DAY THAT THIS, UH, PICTURE WAS
TAKEN, DID YOU SPEAK WITH BRIANNA SWANSON?

- YEAH.
- JEREMY?

- SHE WAS PICKING ON
MY LITTLE SISTER.
- OH. AND DID YOU ARGUE?

YOU DON'T ARGUE WITH A NINE-YEAR-OLD.
YOU CALL EACH OTHER NAMES.

ARE YOU WEARING THE SAME
SHOES THAT YOU WORE THAT DAY?

- NO.
- YES. HE'S WORN THE SAME THING
EVERY DAY FOR A YEAR.

- WOULD YOU BE WILLING
TO GIVE US THOSE SHOES?
- NO.

- YES.
- MOM!

JUST THIS ONCE, JEREMY,
DO WHAT I TELL YOU, OKAY?

I... I KNOW YOU
DIDN'T DO THIS, HONEY.

I KNOW WHO YOU
ARE UNDER ALL THIS.

GIVE THE F.B.I. YOUR SHOES.

[Hodgins] NOT THE SHOES.

- HOW DO YOU KNOW?
- FIRST, THE CAPS ARE PLASTICIZED
CHROME, NOT STAINLESS STEEL.

AND THEY'RE TOO BROAD AND
ROUNDED TO HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE...

- TO BRIANNA SWANSON'S BONES.
- TELL CAM AND BOOTH.

YOU DO IT. WHY?

BECAUSE I HAVE A DATE.

HERE'S THE THING, ANGELA. I KNOW
YOU'VE BEEN OUT WITH A LOT OF GUYS.

HEY, YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT
GIRLFRIEND TWICE A MONTH.

YEAH. SO IMAGINE THE PRESSURE
TO COME UP WITH A DATE...

THAT NEITHER ONE OF US
HAS EVER BEEN ON BEFORE.

SO WHAT'S UP?

WE HERE TO WALK A
DOG OR SOMETHING?

I REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT
HOW YOU USED TO FEEL ON A SWING.

[Whirring]

IT LOOKS LIKE COLORED
DOTS, BUT IT'S SO FADED.

COULD THIS BE A
CANDY BAR WRAPPER?

I DON'T THINK BRIANNA WAS
SUPPOSED TO EAT CANDY.

THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS I WASN'T
SUPPOSED TO DO AS A KID. I STILL DID THEM.

- I HAVEN'T CHANGED MUCH.
- BONES, ANYTHING
ON THE EMO SHOES?

NOT A MATCH. SORRY. WHAT'S WITH
THE, UH, MILK BLAST BAR WRAPPER?

MILK BLAST BAR?

- YEAH.
- WHAT'S A MILK BLAST BAR?

IT'S ABOUT THE CHEAPEST,
WORST ICE CREAM BAR YOU CAN GET.

[Imitating TV Announcer] AVAILABLE ONLY

♪ RED SHED ♪

♪ WHAT YOU NEED
NOW AND HOW ♪♪ YEAH!

I THOUGHT THEY
STOPPED MAKING THEM.

YEAH. I THOUGHT I JUST
ATE 'EM ALL. [Chuckles, Snorts]

WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD DETERMINE
HOW BRIANNA SWANSON GOT AHOLD OF ONE.

BRIANNA SWANSON?

HODGINS FOUND THE WRAPPER
WITH HER REMAINS. [Dialing]

YEAH, IT'S BOOTH.
LISTEN, I NEED A SEARCH...

FOR ANY RED SHED
CONVENIENCE STORE...

WITHIN A ONE-MILE RADIUS OF
THE HYPERION HOTEL OFF OF 171.

THANKS.

LOOK, I WOULDN'T HAVE LAUGHED SO
HARD IF I KNEW IT WAS BRIANNA SWANSON.

OH, MY GOD. I'M GONNA PUKE. PUT
YOUR HEAD BACK. HEAD BACK! HEAD BACK!

OH! I'M GONNA PUKE.
I'M GONNA PUKE.

NO, DON'T. YOU
ALL RIGHT? [Laughing]

YES. YEAH?

NOT... DON'T DO IT AGAIN.

IT WAS FUN.

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D
BE DOING THIS AGAIN.

REALLY? REALLY.

YOU KNOW, I HAD A LITTLE
DREAM ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT.

- DID YOU?
- YEAH. IT ENDED WELL TOO.

- I'M SURE IT DID.
- BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU LOOK MUCH BETTER HERE.

BETTER THAN A DREAM, HUH?

YOU'RE SHAMELESS. ALL
RIGHT, YOU BETTER GET... GET...

YOU ARE GONNA KILL
YOURSELF. [Chuckles]

I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

NO? NOT YET.

WHAT NOW?

WELL, THEY CARRY MILK
BLAST BARS. THAT'S A START.

THESE ARE GOOD.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

THESE ARE GOD'S FOOD RIGHT HERE.

SO THE F.B.I. FORENSIC UNITS ARE
SWEEPING THE CULVERTS NEAR THE HOTEL.

SO I FIGURED, YOU KNOW, WHILE WE WERE
WAITING, WE'D JUST GO HAVE A LOOK AROUND.

- RIGHT THERE. THERE IT IS.
- [Brennan] WELL HIDDEN.

YEAH.

WELL, BIG ENOUGH TO
STUFF A CHILD'S BODY INTO.

OH, WHAT DO WE GOT THERE?

IT'S A PAGEANT MEDAL.

LOOKS LIKE WE GOT
OUR CRIME SCENE, HUH?

CRUSHING AND SCRAPING
INJURIES TO THE SCAPULA...

ARE CONGRUENT WITH BRIANNA
SWANSON BEING FORCED...

INTO A CULVERT THIS
SIZE IN A PRONE POSITION.

THE KICKS TO THE BACK WERE
THE ATTACKER'S ATTEMPT...

TO FORCE THE BODY FARTHER INTO
THE CULVERT WHERE IT COULDN'T BE SEEN.

"LITTLE MISS RASPBERRY
BLOSSOM, CULPEPPER, VIRGINIA."

THERE WERE REMNANTS OF BLOOD
ON THE MEDAL BEFORE I CLEANED IT.

- I'M WAITING TO SEE IF IT
BELONGS TO BRIANNA SWANSON.
- IT'S DATED 1976.

I GOT SOMETHING. OKAY.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS
HELPS YOU. [Beeping]

[Angela] "LISA FISHER,
1976 RASPBERRY QUEEN.

"HOLLY WALTERS,
RASPBERRY PRINCESS.

KRISTEN MADIGAN, LITTLE
MISS RASPBERRY BLOSSOM."

THAT FACE. KRISTEN MADIGAN.

THE MOTHER THAT I SPOKE WITH AT
THE DANCE SCHOOL WAS NAMED KRISTEN.

- KRISTEN MITCHELL.
- OH, MY GOD.

IT'S LIKE THAT TEXAS
CHEERLEADING THING...

WHERE THE MOTHER TOOK OUT
HER DAUGHTER'S MAIN COMPETITOR.

YES. MY DAUGHTER DID WIN THE
PAGEANT AFTER BRIANNA DISAPPEARED.

THAT'S NOT A SECRET. THE WINNER, ARIEL,
WENT ON TO THE NATIONAL COMPETITION.

AND HOW DID ARIEL
DO IN THE NATIONALS?

VERY WELL. FINISHED IN
THE TOP 10. TOP 10? WOW.

THAT PROBABLY WOULDN'T
HAVE HAPPENED IF, UH,

BRIANNA SWANSON HADN'T
GONE MISSING, RIGHT?

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
NOBODY KNOWS THAT.

WHERE'D YOU GET THIS?

OH, WE FOUND IT... AT BRIANNA
SWANSON'S CRIME SCENE.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT?

BRIANNA SWANSON WAS
A THIEF, AGENT BOOTH.

I MEAN, ASK ANYBODY. SHE
PROBABLY TOOK IT OUT OF MY BAG.

DID YOU REPORT IT MISSING?

I'M NOT SAYING ANOTHER
WORD UNTIL I GET A LAWYER.

ONE, TWO,

THREE, FOUR.

AND SHE WAS KICKED TWICE IN THE
SAME PLACE HERE, TWICE AS DEEP.

SO FIVE, SIX.

THERE'S AN ASYMMETRY BOTH OF
FORCE AND DISTANCE TO THESE KICKS.

THE FRACTURE PATTERN SUGGESTS
A SLIGHT ROTATION TO THE BLOWS.

- HOW SLIGHT?
- ABOUT 30 DEGREES.

- LEFT SIDE ONLY?
- YES.

[Dialing]

HEY, IT'S ME. ARE YOU
WITH KRISTEN MITCHELL?

YEAH. WE'RE JUST SITTING HERE,
YOU KNOW, WAITING FOR A LAWYER.

- WHY?
- OKAY, I NEED TO KNOW
IF HER HIPS ARE EVEN.

IS THAT SLANG OR DO
YOU REALLY MEAN "EVEN"?

STAND BEHIND HER, PLACE YOUR HANDS ON HER
HIPS. THEN MOVE YOUR HANDS UP TO HER RIB CAGE,

GAUGING IF IT'S AN EQUAL
DISTANCE ON EACH SIDE.

THAT'S SO NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

- WELL, YOU'RE VIDEOTAPING
THE INTERVIEW, RIGHT?
- OF COURSE. WE HAVE TO.

OKAY. THEN BEAM ME SOME
FOOTAGE OF HER WALKING.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
COMING AT YOU, BONES.

WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?

DO ME A FAVOR AND BEAM THOSE IMAGES OF MS.
MITCHELL PACING TO THE JEFFERSONIAN. THANKS.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
WHERE'S MY ATTORNEY?

[Clears Throat]

OKAY, TRY AND GET A SHOT OF
HER BUTTOCKS AND FREEZE IT.

OKAY. I'M APPLYING
A BIOMETRIC GRAPH...

RIGHT HERE.

[Beeping]

NO.

- YOU MIGHT AS WELL
LET HER GO, BOOTH.
- WHY?

SHE HAS VERY NICE
SYMMETRICAL BUTTOCKS.

WELL, YEAH. I KNOW THAT.

BUT, UM, WHAT'S THAT
GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

BRIANNA SWANSON'S ATTACKER
HAS A THORACOLUMBAR CURVE.

SCOLIOSIS. SURE. MEANING WHAT?

KRISTEN MITCHELL IS
DEFINITELY NOT THE KILLER.

THANKS. [Phone Beeps]

ARIEL MITCHELL SAYS THAT SHE SHOWED BRIANNA
HER MOM'S MEDAL THE DAY OF THE PAGEANT.

NOW, BRIANNA... SHE
MUST'VE STOLEN IT.

ALL RIGHT? WE'RE...
WE'RE NOWHERE.

WELL, WE MIGHT'VE FOUND
THE MURDER WEAPON.

THE MURDER WEAPON?
OKAY, WELL, WHAT IS IT?

A FORE-STOP TRAMMEL. A WHAT?

HELLO. IT'S FROM THE PARKING LOT
AT THE RED SHED CONVENIENCE STORE.

THE F.B.I. FORENSICS TEAM FOUND
MINUTE TRACES OF BLOOD ON IT.

WE BROUGHT IT IN HERE TO COMPARE THE
EDGING WITH THE MARKS ON THE VICTIM'S CHIN.

[Brennan] AND WE CAN
SEE HERE... IT'S A MATCH.

THE ANGLE AND FORCE OF THE BLOW
SUGGEST BRIANNA FELL FORWARD,

WAS UNABLE TO BREAK HER
FALL AND CAUGHT HER CHIN HERE.

- BROKE HER NECK INSTANTLY.
- [Hodgins] WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE STEEL?

- IN A MINUTE. SO SHE WAS CARRIED
FROM THE CURB TO THE CULVERT?
- [Hodgins] DRAGGED.

- WANNA HEAR ABOUT THE STEEL?
- HOW DO YOU KNOW
SHE WAS DRAGGED?

REMEMBER THE POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC
HYDROCARBONS I TALKED ABOUT?

- ABSOLUTELY NOT.
- TURNS OUT THAT THEY WEREN'T
FROM ROOFING TAR.

- THEY WERE FROM ASPHALT.
- SO WHAT YOU FOUND ON HER JACKET
WAS FROM HER BEING DRAGGED?

EXACTLY. WANNA
HEAR ABOUT THE STEEL?

IT WASN'T FROM WORK BOOTS. IT IS THE
EXACT SAME STEEL USED IN TAP SHOES.

IT'S FROM ANOTHER CONTESTANT.

OKAY, BOOTH, YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A
TAP-DANCING BEAUTY QUEEN WITH SCOLIOSIS.

RIGHT. GOTCHA. WAIT. HALF
THESE KIDS HAVE TAP SHOES.

WELL, WE JUST NEED TO EXAMINE
THE SYMMETRY OF THEIR HIPS.

I'LL GO WITH THE SHOES.
YOU DO YOUR THING.

- [Girls Chattering]
- OH!

[Woman] CAN I HELP YOU?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?

EXCUSE ME. [Gasps]

IT'S OKAY. I'M A SCIENTIST.
MOLESTER! MOLESTER!

- WHAT?
- BONES?

- [Brennan] NO.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'M... I'M NOT A MOLESTER. I'M
A FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGIST.

OKAY, F.B.I. BUSINESS.
EVERYBODY JUST SIMMER DOWN.

- SHE TOUCHED ME ON MY REAR!
- [Crowd Gasps]

NO. BACK AND REAR HAVE TOTALLY DIFFERENT
CONNOTATIONS. POINT OF CLARIFICATION.

I TOUCHED HER BACK.
[Girl] WHAT'S GOING ON?

LOOK, SCIENTIST
OR NOT, F.B.I. OR NOT,

SHE CAN'T JUST GO AROUND
FEELING LITTLE GIRLS.

WHAT? I WASN'T FEELING LIKE THAT.
THAT MAKES ME SOUND LIKE A PERVERT.

- SHE WAS JUST TOUCHING. THAT'S ALL.
- JUST, WELL, EXAMINING REALLY.

EXAMINING, SEE? OKAY, LISTEN, BUD,
WE'RE AFTER A MURDERER HERE, OKAY?

DR. BRENNAN JUST GOT
A LITTLE OVERLY EXCITED.

HOW DOES FEELING LITTLE
GIRLS SOLVE A MURDER?

- ONE OF THEM IS THE MURDERER.
- [Booth] OKAY, LOOK.

- I KNOW THAT'S HARD TO BELIEVE.
- YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S REALLY NOT.

SO, WHAT DO YOU NEED? I
MEAN, ASIDE FROM THE TOUCHING.

IF I COULD JUST... WATCH THEM?

JUST WATCH.

THAT'S HER.

[Applauding]

[Murmurs]

OH, DUDE. NOT AGAIN.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID
JEREMY WAS CLEARED.

WE KNOW IT'S NOT JEREMY.

- WE'D LIKE TO TALK
TO HALEY FOR A MOMENT.
- NO. I DON'T WANT TO.

THIS IS A SPECIAL
DAY, AGENT BOOTH.

YOU'RE UPSETTING
HER. DON'T BE AFRAID.

NO. YOU KNOW, SHE
SHOULD BE AFRAID.

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. I PROMISE.

- WE KNOW YOU
DIDN'T MEAN TO, HALEY.
- HONEY, WHAT DID YOU DO?

YEAH. WHAT DID YOU DO?

BRIANNA SAID SHE WAS
GONNA BUY ME AN ICE CREAM.

BUT SHE JUST MADE FUN
OF ME. SHE SAID I WAS UGLY.

SHE SAID I'D NEVER WIN ANYTHING.

THAT MUST'VE HURT YOUR FEELINGS.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO PUSH
HER SO HARD. HONEST.

OH, GOD.

- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?
- [Crying] THE PAGEANT WAS STARTING.

I WANTED TO WIN.

OH. OH, GOD.

HI.

HI.

WE DIDN'T REALLY GET A
CHANCE TO TALK TODAY.

YEAH. I WAS AVOIDING YOU.

THAT WHOLE SWING THING WASN'T GOOD
ENOUGH, RIGHT? 'CAUSE I CAN DO BETTER.

- IT WAS PERFECT.
- IT WAS?

- MAYBE THE BEST DATE
I'VE EVER HAD.
- REALLY?

GREAT. THAT'S GREAT.

THANKS. YEAH.

THAT'S NOT GREAT.

HOW CAN A GREAT
DATE BE NOT GREAT?

BECAUSE IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO FALL FLAT.

THAT WAY, WE'D BOTH KNOW
THAT THIS WASN'T MEANT TO BE,

AND WE'D GO BACK TO
THE WAY WE WERE BEFORE.

I DON'T LIKE THE
WAY IT WAS BEFORE.

LOOK, BRENNAN IS MY BEST FRIEND,

AND... ZACK IS...

WHATEVER THE HELL HE IS.

AND WHEN THIS GOES WRONG, IT...

IT PULLS EVERYBODY ELSE INTO IT.

AND WHAT THE
GREAT DATE TELLS US...

IS THAT WHEN IT GOES WRONG...

IT'LL GO REALLY, REALLY WRONG.

YEAH.

SO,

WE GO BACK, RIGHT?

FRIENDS.

SURE, FRIENDS.

JUST ONE QUESTION.

WHAT IF IT DOESN'T END THAT WAY?

WHAT IF IT DOESN'T GO WRONG?

FRIENDS.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN ROME FELL.

WHAT? UH, PEOPLE
ATE STALE DOUGHNUTS?

OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN,
BEAUTY AS SELF-ESTEEM.

WELL, I THINK, UM,

YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE
KIDS ACTUALLY HAD A GOOD TIME.

THE GIRL IN THE PINK
COULD REALLY DANCE.

BUT THEN AGAIN, NERO
COULD REALLY PLAY THE FIDDLE.

YOU KNOW, BONES, I
LIKE TO THINK THAT, UM,

SOMEPLACE DEEP INSIDE, PEOPLE
REALLY KNOW WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE WHEN YOU SEE WOMEN
TRYING TO DISGUISE OR CHANGE THEMSELVES.

MMM. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT.

WELL, I MEAN, NO, OF
COURSE YOU WOULDN'T. WHY?

WELL, IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW,
SOMEONE WHO LOOKS LIKE YOU,

WELL, WOULDN'T...

JUST BECAUSE OF
THE WAY YOU LOOK.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT... WAY DO I LOOK?

WELL, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE...
YOU'RE STRUCTURED...

VERY WELL.

AS ARE YOU.

[Sighs]

- ARE YOU OKAY?
- YEAH.

IT'S JUST... WHEW.

I JUST... I REMEMBERED
THAT I HAD AN APPOINTMENT.

OH. SO, UM, I'LL SEE
YOU TOMORROW?

NO. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE ALL THE
PAPERWORK FOR THE CASE, RIGHT?

NO. I WAS... I WAS GONNA
STAY AND DO IT ANYWAY, SO...

- NO. YOU KNOW, IT'S OUR CASE. I WANNA HELP.
- YOU DON'T HAVE TO, BOOTH.

BONES, JUST DROP IT, OKAY?
I'M HERE TO HELP. ♪♪ [Soft Rock]
