[ Man ]
Run it all the way down.

[ Police Radio Chatter ]

Okay, so the guy here
says he was out doing
routine track maintenance...

and, uh, saw the bones
and thought it was a deer.

Human dentition
is completely different.

Another example
of our country's
deplorable educational system.

Well, right. Until every kid
becomes a dentist,

we have some psycho
throwing a hacked-up body
out of a speeding train.

No, these bones
were under the train.

If body parts had been thrown
out a window,

they'd be scattered
in nearby foliage.

Level of decomp suggests...

the remains have been
exposed to the elements
for at least two months.

- Drunk? Suicide?
- Conjecture.

There's evidence
of sharp-force trauma
on the sternum.

- Stabbed.
- More conjecture.

- Beaten.
- Would you please stop that?

Come on.
It's a beautiful day, Bones.

We must enjoy conjecture.There's a distinct lack
of hemorrhage.

This victim was dead
before being hit
by the train.

All right,
so someone killed him,
dumped him on the tracks...

in hopes of trying
to make it look like a suicide.

I can't determine motive,
but I can say the train
dragged the victim,

and his body broke up
as it smashed against
the rails and ties.

Whoa. We're saying that
the bones and the body gunk...

were scattered
along the track here?Yeah, for miles. Yes.

All trains should be diverted
from this track until we locate
the rest of the remains.

Wait. You know how much chaos
that's gonna cause Amtrak?

Well, I told you, Booth.
I'm not interested
in conjecture.

[ Police Radio Chatter ]

You know, when I was a kid,
Bones, I always wanted
to be a hobo.

I wanted to ride the rails,
play the guitar--

Be malnourished, riddled
with preventable disease--Tell you what.

You know what?
You could make Santa Claus cry.
You really could.

Hey, you're wearing
your belt buckle again.

"Cocky."Yeah.

Ever since the whole coma thing,
I just kept staring at it,

thinking to myself,
"Why would I wear
something like this?"

Because you love it.
You always have.Yeah, that's what I landed on.

Well, I'm glad you did.
I like it.
It's-- It's "Boothy."

Boothy?There's a bone cyst
on this femur--

the result of the parasite
Echinococcus granulosus.

It's extremely uncommon
in the U.S.

Immigrant. Illegal.
Sorry. No "conjecting."
I'm just being Boothy.

So what do you got there?

The pelvis is male.

Partial epiphyseal fusion
indicates the victim
would be in his teens.

He was just a kid.

Markers on these bones
are anomalous,
even for an immigrant.

I'd like to get them
back to the lab
to run some tests.

- Hold on, Bones.
- F.B.I. Forensics
can continue the search.

I'll send Clark
to supervise.Bones, time out. Hold on.

You might wanna
take the skull back there
that my people are holding.

So, you and Perry gonna
get something to eat
after the library?

Probably.Okay, but promise me
you're gonna--

Call if I'm gonna be late.
I know.

Sorry. New mom.It's okay.

Oh, um,
I wanted to ask you.

You know that dance
this weekend?The formal?

Yeah. Perry and I thought
it might be fun to,

you know,
make a whole night of it.

Like, we'd rent a limo
and go to breakfast
in the morning and--

Uh, the whole night?
Wh-Where would you sleep?

We wouldn't.
That's the point.

So... you and Perry would be
spending the night together
not sleeping?

- Why do you say it like that?
- Just thinking it through.
That's all.

[ Horn Honks ]Oh. Here's Perry.

I thought you liked Perry.Well, I do.

So you'll think about it?Yeah.

Hey, Chelle.Hey.

- Dr. Saroyan.
- Cam, Perry. Call me Cam.

Bye, guys.Bye.

[ Sighs ]

Flora. Oh, Clark,
you shouldn't have.
I presume that is for me.

[ Device Beeps ]Yeah, knock yourself out.

Hey. Brennan said
she found a skull,

so I can give you a face.Yeah. It's right here.

Complete with
perimortem fractures
on the parietal.

Looks like the victim
was badly beaten.

Hey, Brennan said
this was a teenager, right? Mm-hmm.

Uh, these clothing scraps
look hand-stitched--

like his mom made them.

That makes it sadder somehow.

Where's Dr. Brennan?

She's doing
an isotope analysis.

She thinks the victim
might be from another country.Oh, that makes sense.

His cavities suggest
that his drinking water
wasn't fluoridated.

- When do teenagers
start having sex?
- Hello.

If they could,
they'd start in the morning
and go until they drop.

Please tell me
this is about the case.

This is about
Michelle, isn't it?
Is she having sex?

- Working here is like
being on The View.
- I meant what age.

Dr. Saroyan, um,
may I be excused...

to attend to something
more case-related?

Oh, Dr. Brennan
already requested
that you suit up...

to supervise the F.B.I. techs'
retrieval of the remains
at the train tracks.

Wait. Dr. Brennan wants me
to put on a jumpsuit...

and walk along
a railroad track?

Mm-mmm. That is not
a good look on a brother.

I bet you were
an early starter,
weren't you, Clark?

A prodigy, maybe?

Uh, in case
you haven't heard,

uh, Ms. Montenegro,
I have work to do.

So excuse me. [ Objects Clattering ]

- Yeah.
- [ Brennan ]
No pesticides.

No evidence
of processed foods.

Kid's from the boonies.No, it's more significant
than that, Booth.

Our victim grew up
with no bone markers
that indicate modern life.

No evidence of contact
with electricity
or petrochemicals.

Fine. Then we're back
to an immigrant.
Maybe a developing nation.

No. Isotopic analysis
of his bone...

matches the geology
of the mid-Atlantic states.

I don't get it.Neither do I.

Our victim was
a teenaged boy who died
about two months ago,

but, according to the data,
he grew up in the early 1800s.

I discovered the origins
of our victim's markers.

What? Discovered what?
Markers. Great.

He wasn't from the 19th century.

I took dual X-ray absorptiometry
scans of the pelvic bone...

and then computed--I trust
your methods, Dr. Brennan.

You can just skip
to the conclusion.

Our dead teenager was Amish.

Amish like buggies-and-hats
Amish?

Yes.Then let's call Booth.

Maybe something'll turn up on
Missing Persons.He's already checking.

I'm going to meet him.

Is that a cartoon rendering
of a penis in your book?

Uh, why, I guess it is.
Look at that.

Why is it talking?Isn't Booth expecting you?

It's cute.
[ Chuckles ]

So Levi Yoder's parents filed
a Missing Persons report
about two months ago.

Kid's a ringer
for Angela's sketch.

He was probably on his
rumspringa.That would
explain the D.M.V. photo.

Well, what do you mean?Amish don't drive while
living in their community.

No, I-I mean rum-- Rum what? Rumspringa.

It's a period when Amish youth
are encouraged...

to explore the outside world.

It translates
to "running around."

That's crazy.No more crazy
than your religion.

Look, we reject Satan, and...
they reject buttons.

Rumspringa's a quite
rational way to help teens
make an informed decision...

as to whether or not
to be baptized into
the Amish faith as adults.

Right. Take a bunch
of sheltered kids
and set 'em loose.

Recipe for disaster,
if you ask me.

Well, actually, over 85%
of Amish teens return...

and become full members
of their church community.

Really? Huh.How many baptized Catholics--

[ Groans ]are still practicing their faith
in adulthood?

Here we go with
the Catholics again.
You know what?

I don't wanna hear about
the pope's hat... again. Okay?

He's gotta wear it
just like, you know,

the guys in front of
Buckingham Palace have to.

Well, it's quite ornate
for a vow of poverty.

Don't you think?

- We're very sorry
for your loss.
- I tried to protect him.

I told him the English world
was... dangerous
and seductive.

Well, where did he go? Washington.

He went with another boy--
Joseph Beachy.

So then he wasn't
really missing? [ Woman ] Not at first.

He promised to call us
once a week to check in.

There's an English family
down the road.
They let us use their phone.

- Then the phone calls stopped.
- I spoke to Joseph's parents.

Joseph told them
that he and Levi...

hadn't been living together
for quite some time.

We contacted the police
and filed a Missing Persons
report.

Last time you spoke to your son,
did he seem disappointed
or sad about anything?

No. He sounded alive.

Happy.

- [ Sobs ]
- Would it be all right
if we took a look in his room?

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Okay, the good news is
that this span of track...

only uses southbound trains,

which means the body
most likely came
from the north.

And the bad news?Well, we're still missing
a lot of body parts.

And north of this section,
there are multiple
switch points...

where the tracks branch out
into dozens of other lines.

Clark's looking at
a lot of hot hours
under the sun.

Okay.
Send him the routes
he has to search.

Hey. What's goin' on
with Michelle?

Uh, Michelle has
this boyfriend, Perry.

- Oh, I met him.
He's a hottie.
- Who's a hottie?

Perry-- Michelle's boyfriend.

Sure, if you like athletic,
confident, young--

Studly.Okay, let's not say
"studly," please.

Do you have
something for me?Yeah.

That vine on the bones--
it's kudzu.

The growth rate suggests
the body parts...

had been undisturbed
for approximately two months.

So the victim must have died
shortly after the last time
he spoke to his parents.

Perry's a senior, isn't he?
That might be why he's
pressuring Michelle to have sex.

Why do you think
he's pressuring her?

Women want sex
just as much as men.

Yeah, well, she's a child.
She still has stuffed animals.

I did, too, at 16.
And I also had Brian.

All you can do is tell her
to respect herself
and use protection.

During the Crusades,
knights used to lock up
their wives and daughters.

How helpful.
Anything else, Hodgins?

- And let's try something
case-related this time.
- Right. Yes. May I?

So, the victim's bones--
they were covered in
a sedimentary rock dust...

comprised of carbon, nitrogen,
oxygen and sulfur,

so it's indicated he was
most likely hooked
beneath a coal car.

Hmm. Well, that eliminates
the need for me to search
for passenger-only trains,

which means I can focus
on which lines use coal cars.

Hey, listen, Cam.

Every teenager
goes through this.

Think about
what you went through.

Me? Oh, God.
What-- What am I gonna do?

Well, there's no posters.
There's no video games.

Tell you what.
If I was a teenager,

I'd want out
of this place too.

Nice quilt though, huh?
[ Whistles ]

Oh! Oh.

What do we have here, huh?

What is this-- some kind
of an Amish thing, Bones?

Rock collection?
I don't--

- I don't think so.
- Uh--

Mrs. Yoder, you have any idea...

why your son would keep these
under his bed?

- No. I've never
seen those before.
- Right.

We should get these to Sweets
to take a look at.Why?

Hodgins would be the one
to know if stones...

would have
any evidentiary value.

A kid hides rocks
underneath his bed,
they're gonna mean something.

- Not to Hodgins. Here.
- That photograph of Levi--

is it possible
for me to keep it?

The Amish don't use cameras.

She probably doesn't have
any other pictures
of her son.

Yeah.

Of course. Here you go.

[ Sniffles ]

Okay. That's great. Thanks.

So, listen, the F.B.I.
is tracking down the address
for this Joseph kid.

We'll have it in a few--

- Hello there.
- [ Horse Nickering ]

Are you here about Levi?

Were you two friends?

Sarah. You're needed at home.

- Well, clearly
she's busy right now.
- No, please.

It's okay. It's my brother.

I have to go.Sarah!

Excuse me. Listen.

If you need anything,
here's my card.
You can call me anytime.

Sarah, now!

[ Horse Blusters ]

- Males are clearly dominant.
- Yeah. Clearly.

[ Beeps ]Look at that. So we got
the address for Joseph Beachy.

Here we go.

There's nothing

Come on. You're comin' with us.
Come on.

[ Girl ]
Oh, God.
[ Laughs ]

This is not in the proper spirit
of rumspringa.

Bones.

Yeah! Whoo-hoo! ♪♪ [ Continues, Loud ]

Levi moved out a few months ago.
I haven't seen him since.

We were told
you were going through
your rumspringatogether.

Why would he leave?Parties weren't his thing.

That's kinda what
rumspringa'sfor, right?

Cut loose,
go a little crazy.

Gettin' busted
for smokin' weed.

It's supposed to be
a time to contemplate
your future faith.

Well, yeah.
I was seein' how,
in the future,

I wouldn't
wanna smoke weed.

Maybe Levi threatened
to tell your parents
that you were a stoner,

and you had to stop him.

Oh, look, man,
Levi had his own secrets.

No way he'd risk
tellin' on me.

What kind of secrets? I don't know,

but he used to disappear
for hours.

Never tell anyone
where he was going.

Even back home,
there were times
he'd tell his folks...

he was at work, but I knew
that that wasn't true.

Do you know where Levi went
after he moved out?

No. Like I said,
we didn't really
keep in touch.

[ Chuckles ]
You know, I know I will end up
going back to the church.

I just gotta get
all the wild out.

But Levi?
[ Laughs ]

He always seemed
like he had other plans.

- Ah.
- [ People Chattering ]

Are those the rocks
from the victim's room?

Yep. Just finishing up now.

[ Chuckling ]
What are you doing?

- Oh, Booth asked me
to take a look.
- At rocks?

That is so my domain.Meaning you found something?

Depends how you define
"something."

I mean, all rocks
are a tangible representation...

of the awe-inspiring passage
of time...

- on this tiny planet
that we call--
- Hodgins.

They're your basic
Paleozoic era
metamorphic rocks.

They're the kind of rocks
that you clear away
when you're plowing a field,

so there's
nothing distinguishing
about them whatsoever,

except for the awe-inspiring
"passage of time" thing.

What about the feathers?Eastern bluebird.

They're a pretty common
songbird.

Guys, I think I know
what these are.

There are 88 of these.
Fifty-two relatively light
in color.

- Thirty-six dark.
- Okay.

A piano. [ Saroyan ] You think
this is a piano?

For Fred Flintstone maybe.No, like
a practice keyboard.

You've seen 'em.
I used to use one
when I took lessons.

Plus the songbird feathers
are further signifiers
of music.

He kept it hidden under his bed
because Levi was ashamed.

The Amish aren't supposed
to play musical instruments.

So then where does a kid
like Levi learn about pianos?

Well, Booth said that
he had a job in town, right?

Every small town
has at least
one piano teacher.

I'll tell Booth.

What are you doing?

Playing the theme
to Titanic.

Even not hearing it,
I hate that song.

Not the way I play it.

[ Device Beeps ]

[ Brennan ]
Were you able to get some
photos of brake rigging?

Yeah, I got 'em.
I got the photos.
I got the bones.

I got bit by God knows
what kind of bugs out there.

Well, perhaps Hodgins
can identify them for you.

Trauma is consistent
with his body
lying faceup...

as an exposed gear lever
hooked him in the sternum.

Have you found
cause of death yet?No, not yet.

There's evidence
of perimortem fractures,
but until I get more bones...

I won't be able
to see a pattern.

Dr. Brennan,
I covered all the tracks
between the bridge...

and the, uh, switch point.

Well, we're still missing
over 60% of the vertebrae,

not to mention
a number of extremities.

Animal scavengers
must have made off
with the rest of the bones.

You have to regroup
the tech team
and start another search,

this time focusing
on secluded brush areas...

within 50 yards
on either side of the tracks...

where animal feeding sites
would likely appear.

Actually, I'm more
of a lab rat, Dr. Brennan.

Perhaps somebody more outdoorsy
would be better.

Clark, if there's
spinal damage
that corresponds...

to the compression
fractures on the long bones,
we could have cause of death.

I need those bones.
You're the most qualified.

Don't scratch your neck
with the gloves.

[ Affecting Southern Dialect ]
Is it all right if I get
a drink of water, boss?

You know, uh,
it's awful hot out there,

and them tools
is mighty heavy.

Of course
you can get water.

Why are you
talking like that?Never mind.

I'm going.

I'm goin'.

Michelle.
What are you doing here?

We got out early
for an assembly, so--

Come in. Sit down.

Thanks.

I was wondering--

Have you had a chance
to think about the dance?Michelle, are you having sex?

Excuse me?It's no big deal.
I just--

Well, no, it is a big deal.
It's a really, really big deal.

This is none
of your business.It is. I'm your legal guardian.

Oh, so you can
just boss me around
any way you want?

No, I think I'm understanding.
But sex-- Sex is--

When two people have sex--
When the body is secreting
hormones--

When men and women
and sex are--

Some people believe
that God will smite you.

Just a thought.

You're not my mother.

I know, Michelle.

I love you,
and I don't wanna
see you get hurt.

Your only job was keeping me
out of foster care
after my father died,

and you did that.

So don't pretend
there's anything more.

[ Disc Ejects ]So, Mrs. Turner, you said that
Levi worked for your husband.

In construction. Yes.

Uh, Levi brought some receipts
to our home a couple years ago,

and I was with a student,

and she was practicing
"Fuür Elise."Ahh. Beethoven.

I took a few piano lessons,
but, you know, all thumbs.

Uh, couldn't quite
work it out.

[ Chuckles ]
Levi was fascinated,
so I invited him to watch.

And after my student left,
I suggested Levi touch
a few keys.

Well, he was shy,
but once he sat down,

the boy was a natural.

You started
giving him lessons?Mm-hmm.

I never charged him.
He was a prodigy.

Mrs. Turner, during
these secret lessons,

did you notice
if he was conflicted at all?

Oh, my. Yes.

I encouraged him
to use his rumspringa...

to decide whether
his love of music
was strong enough...

for him to consider
leaving his faith.

Did you keep
in contact with him?For a while.

Then I never heard
from him anymore.

This was the last thing
Levi sent me.

He wanted me to know
that he had made friends.

They were helping him
to audition
for the National Conservatory,

and he seemed so excited.

So that's, uh,
your apartment
in the video, isn't it?

Levi lived
in some party place.
I had room.

My building's not the greatest,
but it was better than
where he was living.

- So how did you two know Levi?
- It was about six months ago.

Karin and I were walking
by one of the practice rooms
at the conservatory.

We heard this piano.
It was so beautiful.

Levi-- he'd snuck in
to play.

One thing just led to another,
and we sort of adopted him.

I had this gold medal.
Not real gold.

Just something I'd won
at a music competition
when I was a kid,

but to Levi it was
the most beautiful thing ever.

[ Inhales ]
So I gave it to him
for good luck.

I guess it didn't work
very well.

How come you didn't file
a Missing Persons report
when he disappeared?

We just figured
he'd changed his mind
about the conservatory...

and gone back to his family. [ Booth ]
What made you think that?

His dad had come
to see him...

and probably convinced him
to come home.

Amish don't approve
of playing music.

Hold on. His dad was there? A few days before Levi
was supposed to audition,

I went to the apartment,
and when I left...

I saw a full-on Amish guy
heading towards
the building.

And I tried
to introduce myself,

but he just ignored me.

He seemed pretty pissed,
to be honest.

How dare you accuse me
of harming my own son?

- Mr. Yoder--
- I would never
raise a hand to my boy.

- Not even if your livelihood
was at stake?
- Levi was your only child.

I-I can see the arthritis
in your metacarpals
and phalanges.

You needed a son's help
to keep this farm going.

You found out
about the audition.
You and Levi fought.

There was an accident.You took his body
to the tracks.

How can you say
those things to me?

You think this farm
is more important to me
than my own son?

He was my son.

My husband hasn't
left this farm
in over two years.

What are you
talking about?
What audition?

For the National Conservatory.

A conservatory?

You son was
an extraordinarily gifted
classical musician.

No. There are no instruments
here.

That's why your son had to
sneak into town for lessons.

We would have known
something like that.

Not if he knew
you'd disapprove.

So he ran away...
because he couldn't trust us?

[ Booth ]
I don't believe he had
anything to do with it.

What? Your gut again?I'm a father. He's a father.

Okay? It's just something
you just wouldn't
understand.

Would you advise Parker
that sexual intercourse
at age 16 is a wise decision?

What? W--
How did you know that?

Wait. What are we
talking about?Michelle.

Cam is afraid Michelle
is having sex.Oh, no. That's not good.

You just said that you were
having sex when you were 16.

That's different.Oh, so there's
a double standard?

Of course. You know what?
Cam needs to shut that down.
Finish it.

I said that Michelle should wait
until she's at least
17 and a half.

Is that how old you were?No. I was 22.

Twenty-two?Well, don't--
Why do you sound shocked?

No, i-it's just--
It's a good age.

Twenty-two?Well, I--
It was an important decision.

I gave it a lot of thought.

I finally found a man
who could provide
a skillful introduction, and--

Well, you make it sound like
it was a class that you took.

All right, you know,
the first time,
you should be in love.

You know, totally...

goo-goo
for the other person.

Were you when you were 16?Well, part of me was.

And if Michelle feels this way,
do you think she should be
having sex?

No, Michelle should not
be having sex
until she's 22.

[ Scoffs ] [ Cell Phone Ringing ]

Yeah? [ Sweets ] There's
someone here to see you.

She just spent hours
on a bus by herself.

Says she only wants
to talk to you.

Levi and I,
we were in love.

A few months before
he left Lancaster,
we started courting.

- Did you know why
he was going to D.C.?
- Music.

I thought it was important
he get it out of his system
before we married.

Did you stay in touch with him
while he was in the city?

He wrote me letters.

He talked about going
to the conservatory.

I began to worry
I'd lost him.

I shared my fears
with my brother Amos.

I'm afraid now
that was a mistake.

Your brother Amos
has a temper, doesn't he?

It's been a struggle
for him.

Did he get upset with you
when you talked to him
about Levi?

Yes. I told him
how close we'd been.Sexually?

No. Levi and I,
we didn't do that.

But... I don't think
Amos believed me.

About two months ago,
he left for the day.

He said he had
some business to do.

Do you think he was
going after Levi?I'm not sure.

But shortly after that,
Amos told me...

that I should try
to forget about Levi,

that he might never
come back.

And then when I didn't hear
from Levi again, I just--

It's okay.

I love my brother.

I hate to suspect him
of something so awful,

but I had to tell someone.

Why are there two
massive train wheels
blocking the loading dock?

They're filled with dried,
mangled body bits and bones.

Dr. Brennan wants me
to examine them
for defensive wounds.

Only she didn't ask you
to bring in the whole train.

We may have
cause of death.

Karin Lin's apartment
is on the fourth floor
of the building.

Underneath the balcony
in the alley
is a Dumpster.

Now, I swabbed
the perimortem fractures
on the victim's skull.

I found powder coating
similar to the type used on
industrial-strength Dumpsters.

I identified the perimortem
ring fracture on the base
of the skull,

as well as the corresponding
damage on the top
of the spinal column.

Those injuries indicate
that the victim fell
from Karin Lin's balcony,

and then landed head first
into the lid of the Dumpster,

thereby severing his spine.

F.B.I. techs confirm
that the Dumpster...

has a dent consistent
with our scenario,

as well as residue
of dried blood
on the steel,

- which matches Levi Yoder.
- Anything linking the assault
to Karin Lin or her boyfriend?

No. That's why I should
start digging the remains
out of the train wheels.

Levi abandoned my sister
after courting her.

What kind of brother would I be
if I didn't try to intercede?

I told him his rumspringa
was over,

that it was time
to do the right thing
and come home to Sarah.

- That's it?
- He said that there was
something pulling him away.

- He felt possessed.
- Music?

How could he leave my sister
for something so frivolous?

And you wanted to hit him.

I shook him.

I grabbed him
and I shook him,
and it was shameful.

I apologized.

Then he tried to explain.
He pl--

He played something for me.

I'd never heard
anything like it.

It was called "Claire de Lune,"

and it sounded like a...
sunrise.

Something that beautiful,
I have to believe
that it came from God.

Hmm. And that's not
what your religion says.

I cannot pretend to know
what the Lord has planned
for any of us.

That's the greatest sin,
you know--

speaking for God.

I told Levi that I would
make sure that Sarah
was looked after.

And that's it?

No.

He was going to be my brother.

I hugged him.

And then I left.

[ People Chattering ]

I didn't mean
what I said.

I know you care.Oh, it's okay. I--

I handled things badly,
I guess.

Can I sit?I think so.

[ Exhales ]
Look, Michelle, I--

This is all new to me, too,
so I'm sorry if we got off
on the wrong foot.

My dad always wanted me
to be independent.

To think for myself,
you know?

And you talked to him
about boys?

[ Laughs ]
Are you kidding?
How weird would that be?

Did you talk
to your dad about boys?Oh, God, no.

No, my mom told him
to go bowling.
She knew he'd have a meltdown.

My dad still thinks I'm a--

His little girl.

I didn't know.
Never had a mom.

So, you and Perry--

No.

He wants to, but he's
not pressuring me
or anything.

But I'm scared.

Is that weird? I mean,
it's just sex, right?

It's all over the TV
and everywhere.

Oh, there's no such thing
as "just sex," Michelle.

Every time,
you give a bit of yourself
to the person you're with.

So... it's okay to wait
as long as you want.

But I don't want
to lose Perry.

If Perry doesn't
understand how you feel,
he doesn't deserve you.

I wanted to talk to you.

I really did,

but I just didn't want you
to be disappointed in me.

Oh. Michelle,

that's what I was afraid of too.

Have you found anything
pertinent on the bones
you found in the wheels?

I'm still reassembling
the fragments from
the right foot,

but the left arm and hand
are all there.

The fractures
on these phalanges--

there's barely discernible
rounding along the edges.

The fractures occurred
before Levi was killed.

Whatever injured him
was most likely...

a flat object
with a straight edge.

Wait. How much force
would it take to do
something like that?

Hmm. About 120 pounds
per square inch.

Hey. The keyboard lid
could have exerted
that much force.

It could have happened
when he was practicing
at the conservatory.

So someone breaks
a piano player's hand...

a few days before
his big audition.

There was only one place
available at the conservatory.

Tony was already in,
but Levi was competing
with Karin for the spot.

Which means that she had motive
to try to sabotage his audition.

She accidentally injures him,

hoping that he'll slink back
to Amish country.

And when that doesn't work,
she kills him.

Inference, not conjecture.

[ Brennan ]
Agents have
picked up Karin Lin...

and are bringing her
to the F.B.I.

I'll pack everything up.Right. I'll go get the car.

[ Man ]
Don't worry about it.
I'll take care of it for you.

Perry, right?
Michelle's boyfriend?Yes, sir.

Perry Wilson.
Michelle's with Cam.
She told me to wait here.

F.B.I. Special Agent
Seeley Booth.F.B.I.?

Chelle's, uh, family to me.
I'm her number one uncle.

Really?
She-She didn't mention you--I'm also a trained sniper.

Okay. Wow. Uh--Listen, Perry-- Right?

You're a red-blooded
young man.

And, uh, Michelle is, you know--
She's an attractive young girl.

So I assume
that you, uh--What?

No. No. No.Right. Because Michelle
deserves your respect.

You understand?I do. I do respect her.

We were just gonna go
to a movie tonight.Right.

And if you behave any way
less than a gentleman
towards her,

I'll find you.

I think we understand
each other, right?

Yes, sir.Mm-hmm.
Michelle, hi!

We were just talking
about what you were
doing tonight.

Yeah, we're going
to the movies.

Nice.Just a movie.
That's all. Movie.

Hey, Bones.
Uh, you've met Perry--

Michelle's boyfriend?Yes. Nice to see you again.

I heard about Princeton.
You have a very bright
future ahead.

I hope so. Mm-hmm.

Me too.
Have fun tonight, okay?

Sniper. Good man.

♪♪ [ Classical ]

So you were competing
with Levi for a spot
at the conservatory.

No, I wasn't.
My grandfather
used to be a dean,

and I've been taking
private lessons there
since I was six,

so my admission
had nothing to do
with the audition process.

Yet, you were the only
pianist in your class.Yeah, because...

none of the other
applicants were good enough
to get in this year.

I'm sure Levi would have
gotten in. I mean, he was
better than everyone.

He was better than me.Did you see Levi...

at the conservatory
the day before he disappeared,
when his hand got smashed?

His hand?
I-I have no idea--

Someone crushed his hand, Karin.
Didn't want him to audition.

He died at your apartment.
You were the last person
to see him alive.

This is crazy!
He wasn't even there
the last time that I went.

His stuff was there,
but his money was gone.

- How do you know
his money was gone?
- Levi didn't trust banks,

and I had this
old roll-top desk
with a secret drawer in it,

and that's where he kept
his money, and it was gone.

- But his stuff was still there?
- Yeah. I figured that if his
father made him come home,

then he wanted
to leave everything
from this life behind.

Guaranteeing you a place
at the conservatory.

I was trying
to help him get in.
I picked his audition piece.

I could never hurt Levi.
I loved him. You loved him?

Did your boyfriend know that?
Right. Maybe he just
liked him out of the way.

Tony wasn't even around the
weekend that Levi disappeared.

You can ask his parents.
He was at his grandma's funeral.

I'm not gonna say
anything else.
I don't have to.

I'm not saying anything.

F.B.I. techs found a grand piano
at the conservatory...

with bits of dried flesh and
blood inside the keyboard lid.

- [ Booth On Intercom ]
What about fingerprints?
- There were some partials...

on the lid directly above
the spot where Levi's
left hand was broken.

We still have Karin Lin
in custody.

We can get her prints
for comparison.

Don't need to.
We already have a match.
The prints are Levi's.

Levi broke his own hand?That's what the evidence says.

Thanks, Cam. [ Beeps ]

Levi... broke his own hand?
It's not logical.

Levi decided to move back
to his family.

He wanted
to remove all temptation
so he wouldn't change his mind.

You seriously think
that he was choosing
his religion over his music?

Or maybe it was just
over this girl, Sarah.

I mean, either way,
it makes sense.No, it doesn't.

To destroy a gift like that
for a girl or religion--
it's awful.

And it-- it still
doesn't give us the killer.

Wait a minute.
The money--
Wh-What about the money?

What if this was
all about the money?What money?

The money-- Levi's cash.
We never found the cash.

And that fake gold medal
that Karin supposedly gave him--

- Did that ever show up?
- Not yet. No.

Cash-- What if this
is all about the money?
Come on, Bones.

[ Booth ]
He was a petty thief.
We arrested him in Baltimore.

Seven other residents
in Karin Lin's building
reported missing items...

right around the time
that Levi died.

There was jewelry,
silverware, cash.

So it was just a robbery?Well, the thief
was some stupid kid...

who hocked a bunch
of stolen items
about a month ago.

pawning the gold medal.

it was fake.

[ Brennan ] Levi was just

♪♪ [ Continues, Indistinct ]

Guess that would certainly
justify his parents...

removing themselves
from the world. Can't blame 'em now.

But...
what Levi discovered--

the gift he had--

Would their god
really want them
to deny their son that?

Levi planned to return.

We thought it was important
that you knew that.

He considered life
outside the community,

but he wanted to come home.

[ Booth ]
We brought you something.

I'm sorry,
but we can't accept that.

In this case,
I think God will understand.

[ Karin ]
Levi, if you want to get
into the conservatory,

you have to learn to perform.

You're amazing.Our son.
