All language subtitles for Bones (2005) - S01E07 - The Man on Death Row (1080p x265 EDGE2020).eng

Name?

You know my name.

Bones, you are making an
official request to the FBI

to be allowed to carry
a concealed weapon.

I have to follow protocol.

It's ridiculous.Fine. Then
we're done here.

You want to get
some coffee...?

My name
is Dr. Temperance Brennan.

Reason for wanting
a gun?

To shoot people.Not a good response.

It's the truth.

You know, I'm writing,

"Self-defense
in the performance

"of my duties pursuing
suspected felons

as contracted out
to the FBI."

So I can shoot them.

Have you ever been
charged with a felony?

Charged?
Or convicted?

Charged.You know I have.

I have to ask
the questions.

Bureaucratic nonsense.

Nevertheless...

Name of the arresting officer?

You.

Special Agent Seeley Booth.

Do you need me
to spell that for you?

I can sound that out.

So, when do I get
the gun?

You can't have a gun.

Why not?

Because you were charged
with a felony.

Write down that you were wrong
to charge me.

There's no space for that.

Why'd we go
through all this

if you were never going
to give me a gun?

You have a Constitutional
right to apply for a weapon.

I would never deny your
Constitutional right.

I need a gun!

Rules are rules.

Tell them that I shot a murderer

who was going
to light me on fire.

Which is why you
weren't convicted.

But you did shoot
an unarmed man.

I can't ignore that.

I swore an oath
to protect society

from people
who shoot people.

It was only his leg

and he's in jail for the rest
of his life.

How much is he going
to use it, anyway?

You have the right
to an appeal.

To whom?

Cullen?

I'm pretty sure
he doesn't like me.

I'm pretty sure
you're right.

Bones, you don't need a gun.

If anyone needs shooting,
I'll do it.

What if you're
injured or dead

and someone still
needs shooting?

I'm not hoping
it will happen.

I'm just stating
a possibility.

Come on.
You know what, Bones?

You're a professor.

You're not
an FBI agent.

Use your mutant powers--
just talk people to death.

Am I interrupting?

I told them not to let
you in this building.

I gave them
your picture.

Which is why I wore
the tiny skirt.

Mm-hmm. Very cute.

Amy Morton.Temperance Brennan.

You work with Booth?Yes, I'm a forensic
anthropologist.

I'm a defense lawyer.
I tend to work against Booth.

If it's all the same, I'd prefer
you two didn't bond in any way.

Hey, I want to get back
to the lab.

You said I had to fill out
some gun application form.

Mm-hmm.
Send it back by courier.

No hurry.

Nice to meet you.

What do you want, Amy?

You remember Howard Epps?

Not likely to forget him.

He's scheduled to be executed
tomorrow night.

My job is to keep that

from happening.Best of luck.

Howard Epps deserves
five minutes of consideration

from the man who
put him on death row.

I arrested Howard Epps.

It was the jury
who sentenced him to die.

They found a pubic hair on
the victim at the crime scene.

It didn't belong
to my client.

They never figured out
whose it was.

Blame the judge who
disallowed it as evidence

and the judge who
disallowed it on appeal.

Epps was not
well-represented
at either trial.

How long you been
on the case?

Almost a week.

Less than a week, huh?

Two judges, two juries,

two prosecutors
that find Epps guilty,

but yet it's me you come after.

I'm asking...

are you absolutely
positive

Howard Epps killed that girl?

Yeah. I'm absolutely positive.

You know in your heart
the judges should have allowed

the juries to hear
that that victim

was with another man that night.
You know it.

Epps still would have been
convicted.

Not if I'd been his lawyer.

You weren't.

I am now.

When was the last time
you looked him in the face?

Because you're
a lot smarter

than you were seven years ago.

A lot less angry.

You might want to check out
the evidence again.

[ sighs]

I'd ask how you were doing,
Howard,

but I guess we both
know the answer.

Agent Booth... did
you come to apologize?

I'm not the one

who beat a 17-year-old girl
to death.

Your attorney wants me
to look you in the face.

Why?

She thinks you're innocent.

Well, she's right
about that.

I didn't kill anybody...
unlike you.

The girl who got
murdered was smart,

she was pretty, she was
from a good family...

Someone has
to die for that.

And I'm all they got.

Okay.

I looked you in the face.

I read it can be hell.

They say it's like
going to sleep

but you're on fire...

and you're paralyzed,
so you can't scream...

I mean, that's all you
got sometime, you know?

The scream.

What if they get mixed up?

ZACK:
I can tell them apart.

That's Jeff
and that's Ollie.

I win.

What?! That one was mine.

You had Jeff,
I had Ollie.

Ollie won.
You owe me a buck.

[ sighing]:
You want in

on the action,
Angela?

No, thank you.

I'm going to go have sex.

Have a good time.Yeah, okay.

You sure you don't want to come?

Troy can call a friend.

I've been waiting months
for these.

It's a partial skeleton
from southern France.

The Institute...

You know, the whole point
of the week is the weekend.

This is not the cabaret,
my friend.

Life is the cabaret.

Come to the cabaret.

It's like describing
the moon to a mole.

I demand another beetle,
all right?

Jeff's got a groin pull.

Arthropods do not
possess groins.

Pay up.

Mmm. Angela.
Looking good.

And don't I know it.[ whistles]

Okay, our tax dollars
hard at work.

Oh, yeah? What's break time
at the FBI?

Book burning?
No! Oh, God!

Hey, Bones, what
are you doing this weekend?

I have plans.No, come on. I'm serious.

Between your new girlfriend,
the corporate lawyer,

and the defense lawyer
on the side,

your weekend must be
completely booked.

What is your thing
with lawyers?

[ groans]

Look, seven years ago,

a 17-year-old girl,
April Wright,

was found beaten to death
in a Federal park.

Okay, Amy's just trying
to stop the guy who did it

from being executed.

So I guess we're not
pursuing your lawyer obsession?

No, Amy doesn't think
he did it.

And what does this
have to do with you?

Oh, well, you know,
Amy's client is deep sixed

and she doesn't turn over
every stone...

And you're one
of her stones.

Do you think
he did it?

Yes.

What's her reasoning?

There was a pubic hair
that wasn't accounted for.

Pubic hair? Sounds like a job
for the FBI crime lab.

It's a weekend deal.

Off the books.
But if you have plans...

Wait.

This is a personal favor
you're asking.

Not for me, for Amy.

Well, your personal favor
will be for Amy,

but mine would be for you,
strictly speaking.

Please do me a favor.

Any remains
withheld from burial?

Not after
the last appeal.

I'd need X rays
from the ME and the coroner.

Originals.
The copies are useless.

Bone scrapings, lab results,
tox screens...

All the evidence will be here
within an hour.

I'll ask the others,
but I won't order them.

They might have plans.

It's Friday night
and they're racing beetles.

How much time do we have?

Howard Epps will be executed
in 30 hours and 23 minutes.

BRENNAN: Let's start.

Zack, pull up
the first X ray.

Stress fractures
on both tibias.

What's that mean?Preexisting the assault.

Probably an old injury
from dance or running.

She was a cheerleader.

The Chinese used
to execute people

by cutting small pieces
of flesh off their bodies.

Called it the death
of a thousand cuts.

Compound fractures
of the trapezium

scaphoid and the base
of the radius.What's that mean?

When she was being beaten to
death with a blunt instrument,

she threw her arm up
to defend herself.

Well, that's consistent
with the defensive wounds

in the autopsy report.

In medieval Scotland,

they tie a convict's arms
and legs to two bent saplings.

When they release the saplings,

the trees sprang apart,
and the convicted felon

was torn in half.

Should I grab particulates
from this?

That's clean.

It's a phone number
we found on the girl.

Belonged to an old woman
in a nursing home

with no connection
to anyone involved.

BRENNAN:
Extensive damage to the skull.

Smashed six to eight times

with a narrow,
cylindrical object.

The tire iron-- it was
missing from April Wright's car.

Autopsy showed she'd had sex
shortly before her death.

Consensual.
No assault.

The hair they found
was never matched to anyone?

No, the prosecution got it
excluded from evidence

both in trial and on appeal.

That's the basis of your
lawyer's last-ditch attempt

to stop the execution?

Yeah, and, uh, whatever else
you guys can find.

There are particles
lodged between

the left triquetral
and the capitate.

The ME concluded that
they were bone fragments

dislodged by the tire iron.

No, these radiographic
shadows are too opaque for bone.

What's that mean?The prosecution's theory
of the crime

does not include foreign matter
in the bone.

BRENNAN:
are bone fragments shadows

or something else.Like what?

Let's pretend we're
objective scientists

and not indulge
in conjecture.

Zack, get a driver
to take you over

to Greenbelt Park.

I want you to take pictures
of the area

where the body
was found--

ground covering,
paved areas.

Why does he need a driver?

I can't drive.You're a genius who can't drive.

If you knew what I knew
you wouldn't drive either.

BRENNAN:
Take the file.

Get photos
of the surrounding area

Booth.so that we can contextualize
the materials we found.

Yeah.

Yes, I'll be right there.

That was April Wright's father.

Our murder victim's dad
called you?

His wife is a wreck.

They heard that Amy's angling
for a last-minute reprieve.

Why did he call you?

Because Booth
was the agent

that arrested Howard Epps
in the first place.

I'm pretty sure
that that evidence

is not in the file

Earlier you said
we found on the girl.

We're trying to save someone
you arrested

for murder?

All right, you know,
I think he did it.

I think this scumbag
bashed April right to death

with a tire iron.

We found some
prosecution's case.

Do you want us
to stop now

before these anomalies
become meaningful?

No, stay on it.

I got to get going.

♪

You guys are pathetic.

It's Friday night.

There's nothing pathetic
about pro bono work

on a death penalty case.

Everybody, this is Troy.

Hey.

Hey, how you doing?

Could you just wait here
one second?

Yeah.Yeah.

Why did you
call me in?

Look at this guy.

He's cuter than a monkey
with a puppy.

Uh-huh.

I really, really need you
to do texture analysis

on seven-year-old X rays.

But I am
on a date

with Troy.
He's a man.

Wave.

Hey.

What's the big steaming
gigantic rush?

A man is scheduled to die
in 26 hours.

I think he'd like
the results

of our findings
before then.

Good one.

Troy, sweetie, I've got a few
things to do around here.

Do you mind

just hanging out
for a little while?

Uh, sure.
No problem.

Um, let me just call
the restaurant,

tell them we'll be late.

What do you think,
half an hour?

Hmm, you better make it
an hour...

minimum.
Okay.

Hodgins.

Most recondite codes
have a complex numerical cipher.

That's a fun factoid, Zack.
Thank you.

One, two, four, zero, two, five,
one, zero, two, two, one.

That's the number they found
on the victim.

You're the one with the
photographic memory.

I'm the one that's good
with the ladies.

It's not a phone number.

Hey.

So, uh, what exactly
do they do here?

I thought Angela was an artist.

She is.

Do mostly forensic
identification

and reconstruction
of discorporated remains.

My specialty's entomology
and particulates.

Ever see maggots?

Just got these in.

Do not talk to him.

Wait in the lounge, baby.

It's up those stairs,
right over there.

Don't talk to anybody.

Okay.

[ scoffs]

What'd you find?

A shard of bone.

How'd they miss that?

They're not as good
as we are.

40-times magnification.

That's not bone.

It's an organic mineral...
possibly quartz.

I was out taking the pictures
you needed,

and there was a sign
and numbers on the ground,

and I thought, "Why assume
a quasi-randomly generated

function-oriented paradigm?"Zack, when you talk

that fast,
human beings can't hear you.

The number they found
on the girl, 1-240-251-0221,

everyone assumed
it was a phone number

But what if, instead
of spacing numbers
like a phone number,

you space them
like this?

I was in the park
taking pictures

and I saw the parking space
was numbered.

To get to picnic area ten,
you go through gate 25.

Seems more than a coincidence.

1-2-4-0, what do those
represent?

The time, 12:40.

It was when she was going
to meet whoever she was meeting.

HODGINS:
It fits with the timeline.

He's weird,
but he's smart.

April Wright
was setting up a date.

Probably with the guy
who left a pubic hair on her.

Good job, Zack.

I got something.

It's not quite
so idiot savant, but...

It's aggregate gravel.

What if the rest of the shadows
on the X rays were also gravel?

ZACK:
There was no gravel
where her body was found.

It was all grass.

Then she was killed
someplace else.

We have to exhume
our victim's body.

KEN:
It's very stressful waiting
for this all to be over,

and now we hear Epps's lawyers
are trying for a reprieve.

BOOTH:
I've heard.

ROSS:
He got himself a young lawyer
from the Innocence Project.

They don't consider the family
of the victims.

You remember our lawyer,
David Ross.

Agent Booth is
the investigator
who caught Epps.

Is this ever going to be over?

I understand how difficult
this is, Mrs. Wright.

Epps killed my daughter.

You believe that,
don't you, Agent Booth?

Yes, ma'am.
I haven't changed my mind.

He deserves to die
for what he did.

KEN:
The jury thought so.
The judge thought so.

All these appeals...

It's part of the process,
that's all.

Each effort to stop
his execution

is more and more
desperate.

This one's not going
to work either.

It's the third time
they've launched an appeal.

It's going to be the
third time they fail.

It's the last picture
we have of April.

KEN: She wanted to be a lawyer.
David was her role model.

He gave her a job
at his firm on the weekends.

She was a good worker.

She was a beautiful girl.

[ phone rings]

Excuse me.

It's okay.Booth.

It's me. I'm with Amy.

I don't like the sound of that.

We're going
to see the judge.

I'm going to try
to get an exhumation order.

What? Why?We found evidence

April may not have been killed

where they found her body.

You want details?

Um, it's not a good time.

We need to look
at April's remains

Zack decoded the phone number.

Who decodes phone numbers?

It's not a phone number.

April met someone in
Greenbelt Park

the night she was murdered.

So she met someone in the park.
What does that prove?

Is this about April?

Um, let me get
right back to you.

What's happening now?

Apparently,
some new evidence

has surfaced.What kind of evidence?

Why don't you give me
a few minutes with Agent Booth?

Let me evaluate
these new developments.

Let's get some coffee.

So, this new evidence--

is this something
they can bear to hear?

Well, it concerns the person
April had sexual relations with

the night she was murdered.

The judge ruled that
irrelevant.

Well, it's always
hung there as a question.

It's always the basis
of the appeal.

If we just ID the guy,

this whole issue
would just disappear.

It was sex in a car.

It was probably
another teenager.

Some kid too scared
to come forward.

Nobody said anything
about sex being in the car.

It was a parking lot.

I assume the sex act
took place inside a car.

Mm.

When April worked for
your law firm on the weekends,

what'd she do, the filing?

That's right.

Who was with her
in the office?

Why do you ask?

Oh, 17-year-old girl--

I'm sure you just wouldn't leave
her in there all by herself.

Oh, what,
you can't remember?

I'm sure the security logs will
be able to tell us something.

Refresh my memory, Mr. Ross.

Where were you
the night that April was killed,

say, around 12:30?

Now's the time that I ask
for my lawyer and say nothing.

So, you seeing
each other?

Who?You and Booth.

No. No, we're--
We're working together.

'Cause I'm picking up
a bit of sex vibe.

No, that's tension.

He has a girlfriend.

Tall, blonde, beautiful.

A lawyer.

Figures.

Should have jumped him

when I had the chance.

You really interested in Booth?

You aren't?
No.

Then why are you helping him?

Because he asked me.

He said please.

[ laughs]
Come on!

You think he's hot.

No, not at all.
This is a very interesting case.

Booth did say
you had

some kind of mania
for the truth.

Mania? As in maniac?

I'm not sure he meant it
as a bad thing.

Which, obviously,
is how you're take it.

You want to start,
or shall I?

I'm sorry, sir,
I... I...

I'll start.

I'm thinking of, uh,
suspending you

for freelancing
on a death penalty case

we cleared
seven years ago.

My intention was just to
tie up a few loose ends...

Do you, um, disapprove of the
death penalty on principle?

No, sir, I have no problem
with the death penalty.

Because I hear
that you're working

for a particularly
attractive, young

idealist who does
have a problem.

Not true, sir.

I mean, yes, she's young,
she's an idealist,

but I'm not working
for her, no.

Like I said,
there was a loose end,

and I arrested Howard Epps.

I provided the evidence

which led to the
death sentence.

That's your job.

I need to be sure,
that's all.

This guy was her
godfather.

I believe he had sex
with a 17-year-old girl

the same night
she was murdered.

A fact that the jury never
heard, by the way.

He's married, he's partners
in a law firm.

The guy's got everything
to lose.

If you want
to question him, fine.

Is that the end of your
involvement, Agent Booth?

Not exactly.

They're moving to exhume
the victim's body, sir.

On whose recommendation?

The young idealist lawyer...

and Dr. Brown.

Got the squints involved.

Well, if she shoots
anybody this time,

I sure the hell
hope it's you.

JUDGE COHEN:
These are not the robes

I'd like to wear
to work, Ms. Morton.

Sir, if you could maybe
tie your dressing gown?

It's 1:00 in the morning.
Deal with it.

So, you found a piece of bone
the size of a toothpick.

Yes, it's a shard
from her left triquetral

with gravel
embedded in it.

Describe the implications.

The jury was told
that these shadows
here and here

were bits of bone
shattered in the attack.

AMY:
Through advanced
digital X-ray techniques

Dr. Brennan's
team of scientists

have found that the density
of these fragments

is not the same
as the surrounding bone.What are they?

The only way I can tell
is by actually looking at them.

You want to exhume
April Wright?Yes, please.

Because of some
shadows on an X ray?

I don't see another alternative.

But, Dr. Brennan...

if those shadows turn out
to be pieces of bone,

I'd be extremely angry.

Thank you, Judge Cohen.

For making a veiled threat?

I thought you were
threatening me

because you decided to sign
the exhumation order.

EPPS:
I did not kill April Wright.

There are good people out there.

And people who believe me.

People who know
I did not kill that girl,

'cause they saw
all the evidence.

I honestly think
he's innocent.

Don't you?

I don't like to form
any conclusions

before all the evidence
is in.

EPPS:
They won't let me die
just for stealing a car.

ANGELA:
April Wright's body
just arrived.

This is Jacqueline Singer

reporting to you live
from Cumberland State Prison.

You might be more
comfortable staying here.

I... I can't.

Aw, God.

Don't look, sweetie.

You're not
an artist.

You're a freak.

You people are all freaks.

This job is so hard
to describe online.

The left...

triquetral.

BRENNAN:
That's a match.
For the record,

do you concur?I concur.

Got several pieces

of foreign material
lodged in the bone.

HODGINS:
That's the same stuff
we found in the shard.

ANGELA:
Which is consistent with
the arm being dragged

through gravel
after the attack.

I got a warrant
to search the house of the guy

April Wright had
sex with the night
she was murdered.

What'd you find?

Underwear.

Can you run a comparison
on the hair?

BOOTH:
That April Wright?

Looks like she wasn't
killed where she was found.

Then where was
she murdered?

We've got microscopic particles
beaten into the skull.

Were these ever ID'd?

According to the
autopsy report-- no.

It's a visual match.

Will you back-stop him
on that?

Where's Amy?

Here. I can't...That's okay.

Things can get pretty,
you know, disgusting
around here.

I concur with Zack.

We have a visual match
on the pubic hair.

Is a visual match enough
to stop the execution?

We need DNA to be sure.

BRENNAN:
Amy's right.

This evidence isn't enough
to stop the execution.

And you've got
nothing else?

Nothing at all?

I don't know what else
we can do.

AMY:
If you tell
the judge

you've changed
your mind...

that Howard Epps
is not guilty...

Have you changed your mind?

No.

I have doubts that
the guy should
be executed, but...

Let's go see the judge.

At my age, a man needs
a good night's sleep.

Lack of sleep
clouds judgment.

You stay the execution,
Judge, I promise you'll
sleep like a baby.

Mr. Carlyle, what does
the prosecution think?

This is a waste of the State's
time, Your Honor.

Ms. Morton is recycling
old evidence, presenting it

in a different way,
in a last-ditch attempt

to keep Howard Epps
from being executed.

She's an ideologue.That's true.

But it doesn't mean
I'm not right.

But this case doesn't add up.

You, brilliant scientist lady,

talk to me about
this bone shard.

It indicates the body
was dragged to the location

where it was
later discovered.

That plus the gravel...

Common gravel.
I'm not convinced.

What about the hair?It's a visual match.

That narrows the statistical
probability to...

DNA?
Ten days.
We'll have it in ten days.

What about this man that
the FBI's taken into custody--

David Ross?

Has he confessed
to sleeping with her?No.

it doesn't prove
he killed her.

Let's stick with
new facts, Ms. Morton.

Your Honor, at least give us
time to find David Ross's car.

There could be
evidence of murder...Could be?

I can't stop an execution
because there could be evidence.

Judge Cohen, I have the
arresting officer right here.

The primary investigator.

Agent Booth,
have you suddenly decided

that Howard Epps
is not guilty?

No. I think
there are doubts.
Booth!

When it comes to an execution,
there shouldn't be any doubts.

He doesn't have doubts.
He has cold feet.

You think I won't pop you one

just because we're standing
in the judge's kitchen?

JUDGE COHEN:
You see? You lose sleep,
you get cranky.

Judgment suffers.
It's not enough.

Your Honor, you can't dismiss
this so easily.

Easily?

I allowed you to exhume
that girl's remains.

You think I did
that easily?

We all feel the weight

of a capital case, Ms. Morton,
but the law is clear.

Unless there is proof

of grievous incompetence
by counsel

or an denial
of legitimate

and definitive
factual certainties,

my hands are tied.

I'll go out the prison
and tell Epps.

I'll take another look
at the skull,

see if we didn't
miss something.Bones...

The particulates in
the skull

haven't been analyzed yet.

This is so barbaric.

When are they going
to put a stop

to the damn death penalty?

I believe in
the death penalty.

What?!

There are certain people
that shouldn't be in this world.

The people who hacked

hundreds of innocent children
to death in Rwanda.

Beheaded them
at their desks at school.

The people who did that--

they should be executed.

So why do you care
about Epps?

Because the facts
have to add up.

Drop me
at the lab, please.

Last meal.

I can't decide.

What's the last taste
that I want?

Howard, I am
so sorry.

Dr. Brennan is still working
on a few ideas.

You see the truth.

You know I'm innocent, right?

Well, there's a chance
you're not guilty.

That's good enough for me.

A chance, I said.
A chance.

HODGINS:
These are slivers of metal
found on the skull.

ZACK:
Probably from the tire iron.

BRENNAN:
Is that blood?

It's silt.
I'm breaking it down.

It contains traces
of two chemicals.

Anthracene
and fluoranthene.

I scanned in all
the X-rays

and built a 3-D module.

Troy would
have liked that.

Bastard.

I found
some more material.

in the fractures along
the sagittal suture.

HODGINS:
It's a pollen.

The pollen is from
Spartin Alterniflora.

More commonly known as
Smooth Cord Grass.

I'm sorry, what does
pollen tell us

about April Wright's murder?

Angela.

The murder weapon
collected pollen

from the surrounding flora.

When she was struck,
pollen from the murder weapon

was deposited in April's skull.

Spartina Alterniflora

is only found
along Chesapeake Bay.

ZACK:
The pollen and silt

both show traces
of complex chemicals.

What does that mean?

April Wright was killed in
a marsh near a chemical plant.

[ phone ringing]

Amy Morton.

Thanks.

They've moved Howard Epps
to the Imminent Room.

What's that?

It's where he has
his last meal

and says good-bye
to his family.

We need the location
of that marsh.

Look, the hair we found proves

that you had sex
with April Wright.

You're going to be charged
with statutory rape.

Not by you.

Statutory rape
is not a federal crime.

So I'm left to assume
that you're here

to get my client
to confess

to murder.

Oh, it adds up, it tracks.

I didn't kill April.

You met April in a bar, but she
was killed somewhere else.

Near a chemical plant?I don't know anything
about that.

You had sex with her.
She threatened

to tell her family; you couldn't
let that happen.

No... No...You'd lose your business,
your professional standing.

Do not engage with him, David.

You had motive, you had means,
you had opportunity.

I didn't kill her.Then why aren't you helping us?

What?

By not admitting
that you were there that night,

by not confessing that
you were with her,

you're clouding the issue.So what?

We are not discussing
the events of that
night, Agent Booth.

You are the only person
who could tell us

what happened that night.

Do you care at all
about what happened to her?

Okay, look, I went there
that night just to talk, okay?

That's all.This interview is over.

ROSS:
No! I went just to talk.

I'm not proud of what happened.

I can tell you exactly
why it happened,

but I'm not proud of it.
I shouldn't have let myself

get pulled in.

I didn't know
it was her first time.

I didn't know she'd get
so upset. She ran off.

Don't tell me you left her
in that park.

No. I looked for her.
I waited for over two hours.

Finally, I figured she'd called
somebody to come get her.

Was her car still there
when you left?

Yes, it was.What time was that?

It was after 2:00 a.m.Did you see anyone else?

Yeah, there was traffic.

There was some traffic--
it was all teenagers.

After 1:00 a.m.
there was nothing.

Look, maybe it is my fault
that he got to her.

You know, maybe I should
go to jail for that.

He admits to having
sex with her?

BOOTH:
Yes, sir.
Did he kill her?

Well, he's either
telling the truth

or he's setting up
his defense.

So, April Wright met David Ross

for a sexual liaison;

he took her to a second
unknown location,

beat her to death

and deposited the body
back at the park.

That's sketchy.

Which is why we have to find
the murder weapon.

Find a tire iron in a marsh,

after seven years--
that's a long shot.

That's why we need
metal detectors and GPR.

And a dozen or so agents, sir.

And if you find this tire iron,

you can positively identify it
as the murder weapon?

It's possible
we can match the traces

we found in April's skull.

Possible? No.

Howard Epps' lawyer should
present this argument

to the judge and let him decide.

Well, sir,

without the murder weapon,
he will not stay the execution.

Way out on a limb here, Booth.

Well, he's just trying
to find the truth.

Why should he be penalized...

Take the equipment
and the men you need.

Thank you, sir.She can't have a gun.

No gun.
Absolutely not.

Why not?No gun.

We have GPR, and more agents
will meet us out there.

We'll have a total
of four devices,

so we'll be able
to cover a lot of ground.

[ typing]

I'm plugging in all the data
from the area

to get the location
with the closest match.

Given the chemicals in the soil
and the pollen,

I'd say we're looking
for a spot

near the Rock Hall
processing plant.

BRENNAN:
We'll have video relay
when we get to the bay.

And I need pictures of the
type of grass we're looking for.

Okay.

[ siren wailing]

[ indistinct
radio communication]

There are four areas
that have Spartina Alterniflora.

RADIO DISPATCHER:
...please respond to...

Muddy area,
knee-high grass...

Okay, go back
one screen.

It's just off
that service road.

We've got the tire iron

over here.
There's something else.

Here.

I got something.

And it's more
than a tire iron.

BOOTH:
Is that what I
think it is?

I need a shovel...

I need a shovel;
she's digging here.

Right away, sir!

Are you going
to help?

I would, but this
is a $1,200 suit.

Are you kidding me?

I haven't slept in 48 hours

and you're worried
about your suit?

Get over here.

Fine.
Can I get a shovel?

Thank you.

Dig gently, Booth.

Small layers at a time.

What would you usually be doing?

What?

If it were a
normal weekend.

You want
to discuss this now?

Compared to you, with
your multiple sex partners...

You know, that's none
of your business, okay?

I'm not having sex
with Amy,

and I've never ever

cheated on any woman
that I've ever been with.

Never!

I just asked what
you'd normally be doing.

I'd be at a movie, dancing
with somebody I care about.

You?

What the hell is going on here?

Female, approximately
17 to 25 years old.

Blunt trauma to the skull.

Also female,

same approximate age,

same type of injury.

This doesn't fit with Ross.

If he killed April,
it was a panic murder,

personal, not serial.

Both these victims have been
dead for at least five years.

Maybe more than seven?

Yes.

Epps.

It was Epps.

She snatched April
from the park

after she ran from Ross

brought her here,
to his killing ground.

Why did he take her
back to the park?

He watched them have sex.

He saw them argue.

Epps knew suspicions
would fall on Ross.

He took her back.

And stole her car.

We got played.

What? How?

Either way, Epps wins.

We find Ross,
the execution is stopped.

We-we find thise bodies....

The execution is stayed until
these murders are investigated.

If I don't make this call...

he's gonna be dead
in a half an hour.

But these women,
they deserve to be heard.

It's what we do,
Booth.

The rest...

Lawyers.

Lawyers.

Amy, it's Booth.

I think we got you
your stay of execution,

but you're not
going to like it much.

[ door opens]

Thank you.

All I can say is "thank you."

What's that, Howie?

Practicing to
get jury sympathy?

I did not kill anyone.

Thank you.

I mean it.

We found the tire iron.

You'll be found guilty
of these murders.

Well, I need a good lawyer.

These murder investigations
take a long time.

Then there's
the appeals...

And since I should
have been dead

a half an hour ago,

it's all gravy
from now on.

We gave him everything
he wanted.

Who knows if there'll even
be a death penalty then.

I mean, that's your dream,
isn't it?

We want the same things
from life.

And I owe you, too.

I read your book.

When I heard you were working
with Booth here,

I knew you were just
what I needed.

You didn't disappoint.

[ yells in pain]

You going to arrest
me for assault?

From what I saw,
purely self-defense.

Maybe I shouldn't carry
a gun after all.

Hell, you can have mine.

What's the matter
with you two?

Bad day at work.

Well, that's what you get
for working on weekends.

You ever hear about taking
some time off?

Having a little fun?

Why? What did you do?

I'd be breaking
about six different laws

if I just told you

how I maneuvered
on my Saturday nights.

But I will bring you some food.

I'm not hungry.

No use arguing with Sid, Bones.

Are you in trouble
with your boss?

Oh...

[ sniffles]

I'm sorry for wrecking your
weekend for nothing.

No, not for nothing.

You know what I mean.

You know,
all that running around--

that didn't
change anything.

Epps was guilty.

He was always always guilty.

There was doubt.

We had an obligation
to respect that doubt.

We all share in the death
of every human being.

Very poetic.

No. Very literal.

We all share DNA.

When I look at a bone,

it's not some artifact that
I can separate from myself.

It's a part of a person
who got here the same way I did.

It should never be easy
to take someone's life.

I don't care
who it is.

What?

[ chuckling]:
What?

You've been practicing
your Nobel Prize speech

just a little too much.

Scallops in Szechwan garlic
sauce, dark fried rice.

Here you go.Apple pie, hot cup of joe.

SID:
To simple pleasures,
my friends.

To the simple pleasures.

What's that mean?
