So when I called in sick
this morning,

I hung upside down
in gravity boots so my voice
would sound all nasally.

[ Laughs ]
For me, it's all about
the set-up the day before.

A well-planted cough here,
a sneeze there.

My boss wound up
telling meto stay home.

Dude, we are so set.[ Chuckles ]

Slow down. I don't wanna
end up with a broken leg
which I can't explain.

- [ Object Crunches ]
- Damn it!

- Whoa!
- Hold up. I'm caught
on a branch or something.

- [ Screaming ]
- What's wrong with you?

[ Shouts ]

[ Gasping ]

Help, dude!
Help me!

I-I think I really am
gonna be sick.

[ Gasping, Whimpering ]

Help me!

[ Saroyan ]
Dr. Hodgins.

Yeah.Help, please.

Oh, wow!
[ Chuckling ]

This just came for you,
whatever it is.

Oh, my God.

It's my evaporator.

God. It looks beautiful,
doesn't it?

It looks expensive.

Yeah, well, nothing but the best
for the Justice League.

You've been buying
a lot of toys lately.

These are the latest
in high-tech
scientific equipment.

Look at this.

I just used the variable
thermostatic incubator
to hatch a Chlamydosaurus.

You have a budget,
Dr. Hodgins,
which I oversee.

Do these things
fall within that budget?

Oh, come on. What business
doesn't operate on credit?

Ours. And your department
is tapped out.

Well, hey, I mean,
there's just one more thing.[ Cell Phone Rings ]

I saw this T.E.C.-cooled--This is Dr. Saroyan.

Of course I can spare him.
I'll send him right out.

[ Beeps ]Booth and Dr. Brennan
need you at a body find.

They're gonna text you
the location.

And start thinking
about which machines
you're sending back.

What? No, w-w-w-wait.
I can't get rid
of any of these.

These are-- These are
like my children.

Make the choice,
or I'll make it for you.

[ Sighs ]

I love you.

[ Police Radio Chatter ]

[ Chattering ]

[ Siren Wailing ][ Woman Chattering ]

I would buy them myself,
but it is against
Jeffersonian policy.

Really not
that interested,
Hodgins.

Let's just
focus on the work.
All right, buddy?

Victim is male, judging by
the heart-shaped pelvic inlet.

Right, not to mention
his oversized wedding ring
right there on the left hand.

- Can we hurry this up, Bones?
- Do you have another murder
I don't know about?

Booth's son is coming back
from England today.
His plane lands at 11:00.

[ Hodgins ]
Oh, right. Parker's been
gone for a while, right?

Actually, four months.
I hope he's not
calling soccer football.

Parker's very excited
to meet his new sister.I can imagine.

And a new house,
a new room.

I bet he gets to buy
a new toy every now and then.

Right. Okay.

Given the size
of this blowfly larvae,

I'd say our victim died
three days ago.Great. Perfect.

Let's bag this puppy up
and get it back
to the Jeffersonian.

I don't wanna leave
Parker stranded.

- We're still missing
the victim's head, Booth.
- You really need that?

Right. Okay. That was
a bad question. Okay.

Tell you what.
You look over there,
and I'll look over here.

We have to be methodical.

Skull retrieval
requires the use
of physics, anatomy...

and the careful reading
of geological terrain.

That sounds like it's
gonna take a long time,
and I gotta--

Since the head is commonly
the first to dislodge
during decomp,

it could have
washed down the hill
during last night's rain.

These rivulets
from the downpour
probably acted as troughs.

Great. Okay, so it's
somewhere down there.
Let's go.

To the untrained eye, yes.
But I can actually analyze
the viscosity of the mud.

And factor in the orifices
in the human head...

that can catch
or snag on debris
and alter its course.

When you're an expert,
you can actually see
the trajectory of--

Guys, it's takin' too long.
I don't know what you're
making such a big deal about.

Whoa!
[ Shouting ]

- [ Brennan, Hodgins Gasping ]
- [ Booth Shouting ]

- Oh!
- [ Groans ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Gasping ]

Hey. You found me.

Well, we found it.

Hey! Can we go
to the airport now?
Huh?

[ Booth ]
I'm so glad
you're back, buddy.

I'll bet
so is Christine.

She's so little.Yeah.

Oh, I think
she's smiling at you.

You think?Yeah.

What do you think of your room?
It's just like your old one.

- It's awesome.
- [ Whimpering ]

I think
you should take her.

Right, okay.[ Christine Fussing ]

Easy.I don't want her
to hate me.

She's not gonna hate you.
You're her big brother.
Come on, huh?

[ Fussing Continues ]

It's all right.

What do you think of that?
I got the old R.C. truck out.
Found it.

Think it still works?Of course it does.

Me and Christine put some
batteries in it this morning,
and we took it for a few laps.

[ Chuckles ]
Listen, Bones had to go the lab,

so maybe later you, me
and Christine, we can make
spaghetti and meatballs, huh?

- Christine can't really do
the things you say, Dad.
- Right. I know, buddy.

We're all just really happy
that you're back.

[ Christine Cooing ]You like her.

I love her.
Just like I love you.

Okay? Okay?

[ Kisses ]
Look at that.

Can I just lie down?
I'm tired.

Sure. Yeah, um--

It's probably
just jet lag, right?

Before you know it,
you'll be back
on American time. Right?

Hey, buddy.

I'm really glad
you're back.

See ya.

[ Door Closes ][ Lock Clicks ]

The stomach and the pyloric
sphincter are intact.

So there's a good chance
I'll get a look...

at this guy's last meal.

Yummy.

Pulp cavity depth
on the maxillary
central incisor...

gives us an approximate age
of 26 to 36 years old.

- Hey, didn't Parker
get here today?
- Yes, just a couple hours ago.

How did it go
with him and Christine?

Christine met him
at the airport with us.

Parker hugged her
and she spit up on him,
but Parker didn't seem to care.

- So you think it's workin' out?
- Yes. Why wouldn't it?

Well, as an anthropologist,
you know that every culture...

has stories about the dangers
of having stepchildren.

Cinderella.[ Clark ]
Exactly.

Sibling rivalry
is a common and necessary
sociological imperative.

Since it is, it doesn't
concern me any more than
the discomfort of childbirth.

Your attitude
is very impressive.

Of course it is.

[ Squishing ]There's
a perimortem wound...

on the victim's
right ischial spine.

Well, it is consistent
with a stabbing injury.

If the external iliac artery
was severed when he was stabbed,

that could give us
cause of death.

Your equipment costs millions.

I haven't
been allowed...

to upgrade my system all year.

But we are still the best.

You haven't gotten a hit
on your facial
reconstruction yet.

Well, nothing over a 20% match.

All I'm saying is...

there is probably a piece
of equipment that could help.

Or he has no record
or driver's license...

or anyone
who reported him missing.

Hey, whose side
are you on?

I'm just saying that sometimes
you can go a little overboard.

What's that supposed to mean?

The motion sensors
in our bedroom
that control the blinds?

When we have sex,
they open and close
and open and close.

[ Clark Laughing ]
Okay.

Sorry. I didn't
mean to listen
to that.

I just happened
to be here,
and my ears
are open--

Cut to the chase, Clark.Right.

Okay, listen, I think I know
why you can't get a hit.

We've got the victim
listed at 5'5".

Yeah, because that's
what you told me.I know.

But that's before
I discovered his pump bump
and his mallet toe.

That doesn't sound good.

Markers on his right distal
interphalangeal joints
and calcaneus.

Now, usually that's associated
with women who wear heels,

but they're also found
in men who wear lifts.

So, try listing his height
at 5'8".

[ Computer Beeping ]

Oh, that did it.Tony Cole.

Hey, look. Reported missing
by his wife.

Talk about issues.
This guy lies about his height
on his driver's license.

Lucky you knew
about the lifts, Clark.

Oh, don't get snotty,
Ms. Montenegro.

I could tell this whole lab
about your blinds.

[ Whispering ]
Open, close, open, close.

[ Clark Laughing ]

So, when was the last time...

you heard from your husband,
Mrs. Cole?

Last Friday.

Tony sent me a text
after work.

It said "Don't hold dinner.
I'm going to be late."

Was it typical for him
to stay out late?No.

He was always home
with his family.

He helped my son
with his homework
every night.

He-- He practiced karate
with him on the weekends.

[ Sniffles ]
He was a good man.

We're not saying
that he wasn't a good man.

We're just trying to understand
what happened that night.

[ Sweets ]
Now, did you notice
any unusual behavior?

Was he under stress?Tony's work
was really getting to him.

He owned a--
a Spark & Steel truck.

And this new guy--
uh, Karl something--

was horning in
on his territory.

Tony said he was just awful.

Awful how?

He would make fun
of how short he is
to intimidate him.

Um, so your husband
was self-conscious
about his height?

We noticed
he wore lifts.

Tony took enough grief in school
to last a lifetime.

And now this jerk is trying
to take his route too?

I mean, that would stress out
anybody, wouldn't it?

[ Sniffling ]

Would, um, you know where
we could find this Karl?

Well, that shouldn't be hard.

Just check with
the Spark & Steel company.

Spark & Steel.
Right.

Are you in a hurry?

Yes, I am.

My son's coming home
from a week-long class trip,

and I have to find a way
to tell him that
his father's dead.

I examined the cleaned
ischial spine,

and I found more
than we bargained for.

[ Hodgins ]
That looks like
the tip of a weapon.

It was lodged deep
in the bone.

If the victim was stabbed
in a front-facing attack,

we should be able to figure out
the length of the weapon.

At least seven inches long.

That would definitely
have severed the right common
and external iliac arteries.

You found cause
of death, dude.That I did, brah.

Can you determine
what the metal is?[ Hodgins ] Sure.

Yeah, I will use
my new mass spec,
which I intend to keep.

Uh, it'll narrow down--
It'll determine
the tensile strength,

and I can also use it
to narrow down
what he was stabbed with.

What?

[ Booth ] Right. Just call when
you find out the tool truck's
next stop. Thanks.

They should have
the guy's route,
so he should be close by.

I think when we get home,

we should do something
together as a family...

since Parker's home now.

Great. Great.
I love that idea.
Like what?

Well, there's a wooded area
behind the house.Yeah.

I thought we could
search for carrion and
rearticulate their skeletons.

You know, a family project.

Really?
Wh-What do you
do with them?

We could mount them
and then hang them up
as decoration.

Or we could just have
dinner together.

Maybe the place
with the bottomless bowl
of breadsticks.

Everybody
loves breadsticks.

I thought a project might
bring us together as a family...

and might help
make the adjustment
easier for Parker.

What do you mean,
adjustment?
Parker's fine.

Since siblings can develop
acrimonious rivalries--

I know.
I appreciate the thought.
I really do, Bones.

But I really don't think playing
with dead animals is gonna
make things all that better.

If you think breadsticks
are enough--

Garlic ones? Yeah.[ Cell Phone Ringing ]

Please.

[ Beeps ]Booth.

Okay. That's great.
We're about, uh,
two minutes away. Thanks.

Guy's truck is about
a half mile from here.
We're good.

And, Bones, listen, thanks
for worrying about Parker.

[ Men Chuckling ]

Judging by the size
of the crowd, it seems
a very lucrative business.

Spark & Steel specializes
in high-end tools.

A truck like this would
give him a nice income--

extra nice
if he added a route.

So there I was,
about 20 minutes left.

I hadn't caught so much
as a guppy all day long.

Karl Singler? F.B.I.
Save that whopper story
for later.

- Okay, let's go. Clear out,
guys. Get back to work.
- Excuse us. Thank you.

I don't know what this is about,
but I don't lie about fishin'.

I got this belt
for winning
the trout classic.

- What'd you get yours for?
- To hold my pants up.

We have some questions
about Tony Cole.

What about him?
Little guy get himself
into some trouble?

No, he got himself murdered.
Rumor has it you wanted him
out of your way.

- That's just not true.
- You were trying to steal
his route, weren't you?

Look, the economy's
not so great right now.

So we were competing
for clients, yeah, but
th-that doesn't mean murder.

Financial gain?
That's a good motive
in my book.

Definitely.Where were you
last Friday?

Friday I was, uh--
I was at work all day.

And at night,
I was playing poker,
which I won.

I got witnesses,
purchase orders.

We believe
the victim was stabbed...

with a metal implement
measuring at least seven inches.

Do you have any tools
matching that description
in your truck?

Metal? Seven inches?
What, are you kidding?

No.

I've got awls, picks, scribes,
screwdrivers, handsaws,

Swiss needle files, chisels,
drill bits, hammers.

Knock yourselves out.

Wow.

[ Sweets ]
Consider the victim's profile.

I mean, here's a guy
who was bullied
his entire life.

He subjugated his own
feelings of inadequacy
by wearing lifts,

choosing an overtly
masculine profession.

Oh, okay, so he wanted
to be a-- a guy's guy.

I'm liking this so far.
Keep going. Don't stop.
Come on. Come on.

Now, commonly that means
that he wouldn't want to
talk about his problems...

with any woman,
even his wife.

Right, because
it would make him
look less like a man.

Yeah. I would've said
that it was a gender role
compliance advantage, but--

No one will understand what
you're talking about, Sweets.

Okay, well, he was
close with his son.

His wife said that
he was helping his kid
with karate.

Probably didn't want him
to get bullied the same way
that he did,

which would explain this.

It's a police report...

filed the day before
Tony was murdered.

He tried to
instigate a fight.

With the karate teacher.Mm-hmm.

But look who made
the 911 call.

His son?

Batter up.
Time to get shrinky
with the kid.

Hey, so the metal fragment
is an alloy...

comprised of iron,
chromium, nickel,
molybdenum...

and just a pinch
of carbon.

Ah, stainless steel.

That means it could be
one of the tools that Booth
and Dr. Brennan found.

Yeah, but
the tensile strength
wouldn't match.

We're looking
for a knife with
a relatively thin blade.

This could be a penknife.I've never seen
a seven-inch penknife.

- All right, well, I'm
gonna keep workin' on it.
- Dr. Hodgins.

Yeah?

I would love to be able
to give you all the equipment
you desire,

but the Jeffersonian's
suffering from cutbacks...

just like every other
government agency.

They've even canceled
the Founder's Day party.What?

Not this year.Who do these bozos
think they are?

Don't they realize that
by spending on a party, we're
actually fueling the economy?

You know, creating
demand for, like, booze
and-and food and a deejay.

I mean, come on!
This is simple
Keynesian economics.

Sorry. No party.

God!

Don't you just hate
the neoclassicists?

Come on!

What is this country
coming to? Seriously.

Can you tell me
why you called 911,
Danny?

I got into a fight
after school one day.

It was with
my sensei's kid, Blake.

Mm-hmm.It was my fault.

No, it-it wasn't.
It was a misunderstanding.No.

I started it.

I thought maybe if I could
take Blake down, that Dad--

that finally he would just--

You thought you could make him
proud of you by showing him
how tough you are.

Pretty dumb, huh?

I'm the one who got beat.

That must've made him angry.
He doesn't want you to have
to go through what he did.

That's why he made me
practice all the time.

But I-I stunk at karate.

So he took you with him
when he went to talk to
your karate teacher, right?

He just wanted
to work things out.

He flipped out, Mom.

The sensei was
so much bigger than him,
and Dad just kept yelling.

It was so embarrassing.
That's why I called 911.

I didn't know
what else to do.

I just wanted it
to stop.Right.

And when they came home,

did your husband
talk to you at all about
what happened, Mrs. Cole?

No, he didn't.

He was upset,
but he didn't like to talk.

Okay. What about you, Danny?
Did he talk to you at all?

The next morning,
before my class trip,

he-he said
he wasn't done yet...

and that he'd keep
fighting for me.

Hey. You wanted
to see me?

Yes. I was hoping
you could help me
with something.

Oh, God, no, no.
I-I can't even
look at that.

No, not this.
No, no, no, no, no.

Oh! Wow.

Looks like the victim
ate a lot of peanuts
the night he died.

[ Sighs ]
Okay.

Um, could we just
move this along,
please?

It's about Hodgins.
He seems to be
dragging his feet.

I was hoping that you could
help me get him to return
some of his equipment.

Oh.

So you want me to use
my position as his wife
to manipulate him?

That's an ugly way
of putting it.

No, no. I mean,
that's the way it works.

I manipulate Hodgins
all the time.
[ Chuckles ]

- Oh, great.
- Uh, no. No can do.

See, there are only
so many manipulations
a wife has.

I don't wanna
waste one of mine...

on something like
fiscal responsibilities
at the Jeffersonian.

Oh, hey. Wait.

Does this look
like a worm to you
or a sun-dried tomato?

[ Scoffs ]
Beats me.

But that sounds like
a job for one of
Hodgins's new machines.

[ Booth ]
Hey, buddy, you here?

Just had a quick break.

Wanted to see if you
wanted to grab a bite...
or something.

Parker?

Parker?
Great.

[ Exhales ]Dad?

Yeah?
There you are.

- Where were you?
- What are you doing home?

I came by to see you,
obviously, of course.

- And I was gonna
pick up my gym bag.
- I haven't seen it.

Of course
you haven't seen my gym bag.

Why would you...
have seen my bag?

- Where were you just now?
- Uh, nowhere.

- Just exploring
the woods out back.
- Out back, exploring the woods.

Okay, well, why didn't you
tell the babysitter
where you were?

'Cause I'm not a baby.
Christine's the baby.

[ Cell Phone Ringing ]

[ Beeps ]Booth.

I just had the pleasure
of emptying the victim's
stomach,

and I found a very unusual,
very nasty-looking worm.

I'm passing it on
to Hodgins.

Great. I'm sure he's
gonna be real excited.

Is there anything else,
or is this just all about worms? [ Brennan ] Yes, a lot more.

Cam found points
of compromised periosteum
on the skeleton...

over the pelvis
and the lower extremities.

- Bruising.
- All right,
so he was beaten up.

[ Saroyan ]
But it wasn't
a one-sided fight.

Bruising suggests
the victim actually
got a few punches in.

Which couldn't
have been easy.

Each bruise matrix
has a highly localized
point of impact.

- He fought someone
proficient in martial arts.
- The karate teacher.

I'll come by, pick you up
and we can see if his hands
match the wounds and stuff.

I'll see you in 15.[ Beeps ]

Hey, buddy.
I need to get back
to work. Okay?

Stay tight. I'll see ya later.
If you go anywhere,
you tell the babysitter--

Right. You tell the sitter
where you're gonna be.
All right?

Yeah.

Okay.

Because of the pattern of injury
to the bone, I agree--

Danny's sensei
is an excellent suspect.

Do you think he'll let me
measure his extremities?

Hmm?

Are you listening, Booth?

No. I mean, look--

Um, Parker
lied to me today.

You know,
he said he was out
playing in the woods,

but his sneakers were clean
and there was nothing
in his treads.

Maybe he cleaned
his sneakers.

[ Sighs ]
Bones, he's 11.

Also, he acted weird.

Why do you think
he lied?

I don't know what to think.
It's probably nothin'.

You know what? The karate place
is just up here.

[ Students Shouting ][ Man ]
Knuckles-- eye level.

Focusing on our chi.

[ Shouting Continues ]

[ Man ]
Excellent.

[ Chuckles ]
This guy's
a kung fu celebrity.

[ Brennan ]
It's not kung fu.

It's Shotokan-ryu.What?

A style of karate
which itself means
"empty hand."

Right.
A lot of weapons there
for that empty hand.

[ Man ] Yame!

I'm sorry.
This is a private class
reserved for black belts.

F.B.I. I have to ask you
a few questions
about Tony Cole.

He was murdered.Oh, my God.

Jiyu kumite!

I had no idea.
That's terrible.Cole came to you last week?

'Cause your two kids,
they got into a fight?Yes.

Uh, he was very upset,
and I didn't handle it
as well as I should've.

I raised my voice.
It might have sounded
a little threatening.

- That's it?
You didn't have at him?
- That would never happen.

Hmm.

What are you doing?

Examining
your hands.Bones.

- Please don't.
- [ Students Shouting,
Grunting ]

The whole point
of what we do here is
to make violence unnecessary.

- [ Chuckles ]
- [ Brennan ]
It's true.

One of the tenets
of bushido...

is the fight avoided
is the fight best fought.

What if it can't be avoided?
Rumor is that Tony
couldn't let it drop.

He came here last Thursday.
I never saw him again.

Then you wouldn't mind if
Dr. Brennan here takes a mold
of your hands and your feet...

so we can compare that
to the injuries
from the victim.

Actually, I would mind.
I have classes all day.

It's not necessary, Booth.

I can find all the measurements
I need from this DVD.

[ Booth ]
Look at that.
See you soon.

Sensei ni, rei.

He just ran through
all 27 kata.

Fortunately, I was able to
capture each strike surface
as it was exposed.

And if we now compare
Sensei Sherman's
strike point surfaces...

with the victim's
bone bruises for
both size and shape--

Yeah, like a glass slipper,
only for a fist.

I-I don't believe these
two things are analogous.Cut me some slack.

I've been reading
Michael Vincent fairy tales.

How's it goin' with Parker?

Booth is worried.

Parker spends
a lot of time
in his room,

and when he goes out
he lies about
where he's been.

Okay.
Well, I'd be worried too.

But he looks at Christine
with such affection.

Adolescents in many tribes
are encouraged...

to develop independent lives
when new siblings arrive.

Are they encouraged to lie?

Nothing matched up.Okay.

Like, a lot smaller.

Could we maybe
be looking for a child?

It's possible,
if the child
was adept at karate.

Maybe when Cole got nowhere
with the sensei,

he confronted
the sensei's kid.

Dr. Hodgins,
what on earth--

Shh! No vibrations.

What are you doing
in my autopsy room?

What's it look like?

Performing an autopsy
on a worm?

Yeah.

The worm you found
in the victim's stomach.

It's a Scyphophorus
acupunctatus,

known to discerning drunks
as the common mescal worm.

So that tells us our victim
was drinking mescal.

What else
do we need to know?His origin. Ready.

After I rehydrate
our visitor from the south,

I plan on opening him up to see
what his stomach contents are.

Needle.

I, of course, could
accomplish the same thing
in half the time...

with a new piece of technology
from Sumner & Company,

but I don't have
the funds for it.

[ Clears Throat ]

Truth be told,
I find this makes me
feel closer to him.

I'm hoping
our mescali friend...

gave his life
so that we might avenge
the life of our victim.

- You're serious?
- Would you care to assist?

It would make me feel
a little less foolish.

What the hell.

[ Laser Buzzing ]

[ Gasping ]
Okay. Okay.

His death was not in vain.

I got what I needed.

You have dirt.

Worms use their muscular pharynx
to suck in soil.

They extract the nutrients
and give the rest back.

- That's a nice way of
saying "worm turd."
- Yeah?

Well, this little turd
could turn out to be
our Rosetta Stone.

[ Knocking ][ Brennan ]
Parker?

It's Temperance. I was wondering
if you wanted to take a walk
with me and Christine.

Parker?

Parker, are you okay?

Hyah!
[ Grunts ]

[ Grunting ]

So, which one of you
is Blake?

Hyah!

[ Booth ]
Blake is a girl?

Yame.

Yasume!

The rest of the class--
Mokuso!

[ Exhales ]
How can I help you
this time?

We'd like to ask your daughter
a few questions.

Why?

We think she may
have some information
about Mr. Cole's death.

We don't want to have to take
you both in to the F.B.I.

We think it'd be much more
comfortable to talk here. So--

Blake.

Wow.

You, uh, seem to have won
a lot of awards.

She was a regional champion
and a state finalist
for the past three years.

I hope I can win state
this year.

So, Blake, were you aware
that Danny's father
was murdered last Friday?

Yes. It's so sad.
I'm very sorry.

Did you happen
to see him that day?

Yeah. He stopped me
on my way home from school.

Blake, why didn't you
tell me about this?

- I handled it.
- Sir, please, if we could
ask the questions.

Uh, so why'd you
strike him?

Mr. Cole didn't like it
that I defended myself
from his son, Danny.

He thought
I was the aggressor.

He said since my dad wasn't
going to teach me the difference
between right and wrong,

he would.

- Then you struck him?
- No. I handled it
according to code.

I said I felt threatened
and to please leave me alone.
He wouldn't.

You wouldn't happen
to have used any weapons
from around here?

A knife or a penknife
or anything like that?

I don't like
your accusation.

Cole goaded her.
He was a grown man.
The guy had issues.

He was having problems at work,
clearly with his son.
This isn't her fault.

Right. Then it shouldn't
be a problem for Blake here
to clear that up. Right, Blake?

I would never
use a weapon.
I would have no need.

I merely struck Mr. Cole
to disable him.

It was self-defense.
I can prove it.

My friend Shana
got the whole thing
on her phone.

It's on WeTube now.

[ Sweets ] "Grown man
in little girl beat-down."Hmm.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Oh! Oh!

[ Sweets ]
Oh!

[ Sweets Chuckles ]
Oh!

Oh, that was awesome!

It was--It was--Sweets.

I'm sorry. Yeah.
But it-- it was.

Hey, Bones.
I was just gonna call.

The sensei's kid
didn't kill him.

Although she could.

- That's not why
I'm here, Booth.
- What's the problem?

We have to talk
about Parker.I know.

He's-- He's not
acting like himself.
I-I'll take care of it.

I was just at home,
and I found some evidence
in his room.

Evidence? Okay, Parker's my son.
He's not a suspect.

I take no pleasure
in this, Booth.

The radio car
the two of you built
is destroyed.

He stole
one of my lab coats.

And pictures--
the one you like so much
of Christine and me?

Yeah?

He took apart the frame,
and the picture is missing.

I'm sorry,
but we have our daughter
to think about too.

Okay, um, I just rarely get
a chance to see him, and--

I'll take care of it.

All right? I will.

Okay.

I should get back to
the lab to help determine
what the weapon might be.

Bones, I-I got it.
Okay?

Okay.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Grunts ]

Doesn't look like
you found the weapon,
Dr. Edison.

I've given us seven inches
of simulated tissue,

but I can't get
any of the tips to break off
into the bone substitute.

Well, the blades
need more resistance.I know.

So I reexamined
the ischial spine...

and I magnified the injury
times 1,500.

Look.

[ Brennan ]
Hmm.The bone is scratched.

This looks like it was caused
when the weapon was removed.

I agree.
But how could it be removed
in that direction?

Well, the killer would
have to stab the victim
from the front...

but pull the blade out
from behind,
which is impossible.

Yeah.

Hey.
What are you doin'?

I'm asking myself
the same thing.

You're preserving him.

I grew strangely attached
to our little friend.[ Chuckles ]

Please tell me he's spoken
from beyond the grave.

Shouted to us
actually.

I did, however, use
my new incubator and evaporator
to get these results.

So you wouldn't
have to return them.

Hey, if you feel that these
results are ill-gotten gains,

I respect
the budgetary integrity
of this institution...

and I will
just throw these away.

And since I'm your boss,
I'm perfectly capable
of throwing you away.

Good point. Okay.

The contents of the worm's
digestive tract contained trace
elements of silver, bat guano...

and a fungus known
as Fusarium oxysporum.

Okay, I know
what bat guano is.

Now, the fungus and other
soil particulates tell us...

that our pequeño amigo
hailed from Mexico's
Jalisco region.

More specifically,
the southwest face of
Cerro Negro, or Black Hill.

Your worm-Spanish
is excellent. Sí.

Es muy bueno.

Now, one of the finest
distilleries in all of Mexico.

They harvest agave there,
right?

Maguey del Sol,
or the Worm of the Sun.

While an interesting fact,
you've got us in Mexico when
our victim was killed in D.C.

Oh, no problemo, señorita.

There are only three bars
in the area that are licensed
to sell Maguey del Sol...

and one is right on
the victim's Spark & Steel
sales route-- Cantina Carreras.

Pretty good, huh?

Exactly how many of your
new toys did you manage
to use to come up with this?

All of them.

[ Sweets ]
I don't understand why
you needed me to come along.

There's no profiling involved.
You're just tracking down
potential witnesses, right?

No, we're goin' to a bar.

And since bartenders
are shrinks of the food
and beverage industry,

I figure that
you can translate that.

I'm not buying it.
You've got something
on your mind.

No. No, I don't.

Come on!
You always do this.

Do what?

You make an excuse
to get me alone
so you can ask me something,

and then you deny it
and then we have to do
this stupid dance.

And I'm not gonna
do it anymore. Okay?
So just stop the car.

What?What part of "stop the car"
is confusing to you?

What are you doin'?You know what?

If you don't have a problem,
then you don't
need me here tonight.

So I'm goin'.Ah, put your seat belt on,
will ya!

We're coming up
on a red light.Close the door!

[ Warning Bell Chiming ]All right, all right, all right!
It's Parker!

It's Parker, okay?

That wasn't so hard,
was it?

You know, the attitude
is really not necessary.

Okay?

Ever since Parker
got back,

he's been locking himself
up in his room.

You think it's because
of Christine?

That's normal, right?
I mean, everyone says so.

Yeah, it is.
And since you know that,
what's the problem?

Well, he's also
been stealing things.
And he's been lying.

And he also--
He smashed this toy
that he and I built.

Now, who would do that?
Look, he's a good kid.I don't think that's in doubt.

But Parker's behavior
must make you angry.

What did he say when you
talked to him about it?

I haven't yet.You have to talk to him.

I don't want him to feel
like I'm ganging up
on him. That's all.

You're not your father,
Agent Booth.

I mean, it's okay for you
to be angry at Parker.
You're a good dad.

You'll figure it out.

You know how to handle it.

This'll turn out
a lot better than you think.

Okay?

Next time, let's just
cut the dance, please.

For the record,
I didn't need this talk,
just so you know.

I just wanted you
to feel useful.Pull over.

Pull over. Pull over.
Pull over.No. We're on a case.

♪♪ [ Background: Mariachi ]Excuse me. F.B.I.
Special Agent Booth.

This here is Dr. Sweets,
my colleague.Cops.

How can I help you?Well, we're here
to ask you a few questions.

Have you seen
this guy before?That's Tiny Cole.

- What'd he do, kill someone?
- He was murdered.

Oh, that's rough.
Poor little guy.

Well, you don't
seem too surprised.I'm not surprised.

About a week ago, Cole came in.
Nothing was going right for him.

I could tell he needed a little
something to make the world
look a little better.

So I gave him
the best I got.Right.

- Maguey del Sol, right?
- Must've been into his
third drink when it started.

Everyone in the place
was laughin',
pointing at Tony.

What were they
laughing at?

A video of Tony
getting beat up by
this little girl on their phone.

A lot of them were his
customers, so he flipped,
started threatening everyone.

But that just made 'em
laugh harder.

Short guy teased
and bullied his whole life.

That kind of humiliation,
he'd do anything
to make them stop laughing.

Looks like he did something
that got him killed.

Blake's friend
posted the video on WeTube,
but she didn't make it go viral.

There was
minimal activity
at first.

Just some kids
passing it around
the school.

But then at 5:23 p.m.,
we have the first viewing
away from the school.

Within five minutes
of that viewing,
the lights start to spread.

And then we have
activity everywhere.

Hey, that looks like
it could be the bar
where Cole was last seen alive.

Yeah, that was caused
by our active inducer.

And then it just spread
like wildfire.

Can you get an I.D.
of the inducer?

Uh, I can only
pinpoint a location.

Can we cross-reference
that point...

with our suspects'
addresses?Yeah.

Hey, Karl Singler.

Isn't that--That's the guy that was trying
to steal Cole's customers.

Karl Singler spread it
to every one of Tony Cole's
customers.

Why?Why?

Because he wanted
to humiliate him,
make him feel like a loser.

If he does that,
then Singler has a chance
to steal his customers.

We still don't have
any physical evidence
to tie him to the crime.

We got nothing?We have to determine
a weapon.

It appears as if he was stabbed
from the front, but the knife
was removed from behind.

That's impossible, Bones.

Hence our problem
providing you with
the evidence you need.

Right.

Are you upset, Booth?

Yeah, it's the Parker thing.

You know, we have--
[ Clears Throat ]

We need to talk to him
together.

We?Yeah, we.

Together.
You know, as a family.

We need to attack this problem
head-on and talk to him.

We have a problem.
We have to do this together.

Fish sandwich for you.

- Veggie burger for you.
- Thank you.

Enjoy it.

Fish sandwich.And a veggie burger.
Yes, I know.

The fish! It's the fish
that killed him!

You can't stab someone
with a fish, Booth.The weapon.

It was a fishing blade on
one of those multi-tool knives.

The front tip of it
curves back, right?

He wasn't stabbed in the front.
He was stabbed from behind.

So the tip, it breaks off
when he pulls it out.

That would also
explain the scraping
from front to back.

And Karl Singler is--
is a fisherman.

Hey, Karl.
How's business?

Again?
This is harassment.

May I see the multi-tool
on your belt?Yeah.

Get yourself a warrant.

That fast enough
for ya?
Right there.

[ Chuckles ]
Hand it over.
Let's go.

Be careful with that.
I won it.

That's it.
That's the curved blade.

The tip is intact.
The blade looks new.

Yeah, I replaced it last year.
You satisfied?

Mm-mmm.No.

There's blood
in the gears.[ Booth ] Blood?

You replaced the blade because
the tip broke off? Why didn't
you just throw out the knife?

Why? Because it's his trophy.
Right? But now it's evidence.

[ Booth ]
Right?

Okay, look,
it was self-defense.
All right?

That little bastard
attacked me because
he couldn't take a joke.

So you stabbed him
in the back? Come on.

That's not self-defense.
That's pickin'
on a little guy.

[ Groans ]You're under arrest.

[ Chattering, Giggling ]

Are you people
drinking?

Yes, we are.[ Stammers ]

Have one.It's not allowed.
You know that.

Dr. Hodgins
brewed an exceptional
artisanal tequila.

Hey, the rotary evaporator
makes a brilliant still.

And I don't know
how he makes guacamole
in that centrifuge,

but this is the best
I've ever had.

You just-- You gotta
slice the onions
with the laser first.

Have the decency
to hide this
from your boss.

I thought that
we should have our own
Founder's Day party...

without costing
the Jeffersonian
any more money.

I suppose you're not taking
into consideration how much
that evaporator costs.

[ Chuckles ]
Just try one.

You know, you're off
the clock, Cam.
Just be bad.

It's worth it.
Take a whiff.

Come on. I got the idea from
our little wormy friend there.
Just drink.

One toast to our wormy friend.
He solved the case.

Come on.

Damn, that's good.Yes!

I think it's an excellent use
of the Jeffersonian's
facility and equipment.

Thank you.Do I want to know where you
got the agave to make this?

- It-- That's locally sourced.
- How locally?

Just don't take a stroll
through the Mexican Succulents
exhibit anytime soon,

'cause it's just--
it's a little sparse.

There are so many
things wrong here,

I don't even know
how I'm gonna deal
with this.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I think we'll just give you
a little bit more of this
to help you think.

- What do you say?
- Just a little bit.
