All language subtitles for Bones S02E08 - The Woman in the Sand [YIFY]

So who do they
think the body is?

Federal prosecutor,
disappeared five years ago,

the day before he was
starting a mob trial.

Five years, so there's
not much left of him?

Ye that's why they
flew you to Sin City.

They call this America's
playground?

No, we're miles outside Vegas,
Bones.

This is America's frying pan.

No kidding. A person can melt
before finding a body anywhere near here.

Once the mob makes a federal
prosecutor disappear,

they kind of want him staying
that way.

- Agent Booth.
- Agent Xang.

Dr. Brennan,
thanks for coming.

Okay, on May 20, 2001, Mason
Roberts was supposed to deliver

a key note address at UNLV,
but he never showed.

Found his car three blocks
from his office, engine still running.

- Right this way.
- Wait, no leads until now?

Leads don't mean much
without a body.

Then, yesterday, we get this tip
from this call girl working at the Tangiers Hotel.

Oh, so I dragged out
one of the top forensic anthropologists

- ... across the country, on the word of a prostitute?
- What difference does her profession make?

- I'm backing you up.
- You were judging.

- I wasn't judging.
- Your voice was judging.

Anyway, the body is right
where she said it would be: Mile Marker 15

Confirmed victim is male,
late 30s, no clothing,

no personal artifacts.

Okay, this informant of yours,
any chance I can talk to her?

Long as you don't expect
her to talk back.

She died this
morning, cancer.

It was a deathbed confession.
She was still scared as hell.

Multiple fractures to the skull
and upper extremities,

caused by something cylindrical,
like a pipe or a bat.

Straight out of Capone's
playbook.

I'll know more once I
compare dental records.

But...

What?
Bones?

It's a vulture. Dead body here,
kind of how it works.

They don't circle
skeletal remains.

Get my bag.

Oh, right.

It's the sun-baked rotting
corpses they're into.

It's female, mid-20s.

Similar injuries
to the male victim,

but this is a fresh kill.

A week to ten days.

Popular dumping ground
for these guys.

What, you don't mean
the same guys, five years later?

Well, you know,
if they're not connected,

it'd be one
hell of a coincidence.

I'd have to compare
them side-by-side, but from what I see here,

whoever buried that victim
buried this one, too.

So two dead
for the price of one.

Viva Las Vegas.

Yep, dental records confirm,
the male victim is Mason Roberts,

bludgeoned to death,
presumably with a baseball bat.

This guy here looks like
a long ball hitter.

That's Sweet Pete Arno.
He's the gaming exec at the Tangiers.

He and the other two there, they were on
Robert's immediate to do list when he disappeared.

Any specs
on the female victim yet?

Uh... Only preliminary.

Blows to the cranium, torso
and upper extremities.

All similar injuries to Roberts.

But the likely result
of domestic abuse.

Likely results? Bones, there's
nothing domestic about a mob hit.

But the shape of her injuries,
the pattern of healing, and rebreaking?

There's a long history
of assault here, Booth,

and not from any baseball bat.
Plus, I found this embedded in her skull.

- Is that a hearing aid?
- They're common with abuse victims.

Repeated blows to the head can
damage the bones of the inner ear.

Uh, sorry to butt in, Brennan,

but I got a name
off the serial number.

The hearing aid is registered to a Willamina Morgan
of Mt. Charleston, Nevada.

Oh, that's not too far
from here.

She goes by the name
Billie. Listed here as Billie Morgan,

26, reported missing two weeks
ago by her husband Donald.

Her abusive husband
covering his tracks?

- Possible. - Okay, he might know
how his wife and Roberts ended up here.

He may even know, uh,
your friends here.

You get on that;
I'll fly these remains back to the Jeffersonian.

- ok... We can't leave.
- We can't?

No, I mean, we came for one body
and suddenly there's two?

What if there's more?

Just ship both sets of remains
here,along with bugs, dirt, the works.

If there's a forensic link
to these murders, we'll find it.

As long as you keep me
in the loop.

As if we could actually keep
you out?

Okay, all right, fine.
So that's the deal.

Box them up, and we go break
the news to Big Don.

And here I thought she left me.
Now why would she do that, Don?

I got laid off
a couple of months ago.

Poor Billie.

She hated seeing me
sitting around the house all day, depressed.

Drinking?

And punching walls?

No, I-I just,
I fell off a ladder.

Breaking a fall like that would fracture
a distal radius, not proximal phalanges.

All right, listen. So I got a police
report that says your neighbors

heard you screaming
at your wife three weeks ago.

Screaming? No.

We were just arguing.

See, Billie wanted to help out.

She thought she could
bring in some money dancing, you know, the exotic kind.

I kind of flipped out.

And broke your thumb
against your wife's face?

No! Look, I could never hurt
Billie. Okay?

Then how'd she lose her hearing?

I don't know. She was a kid.
Okay? Playing sports.

- One too many soccer balls to the head.
- Oh, please.

Listen, Don, you're
my number one suspect.

So it would be wise if
you were straight with us.

Implants.

Breast implants?

She thought they'd help her
chances of landing a job as a dancer.

So as much as I hated the idea,
I borrowed eight grand

from a loan shark.
I gave the money to Billie.

That's the last time
I ever saw her.

So that's how you broke your thumb? Huh?

The loan shark comes
to collect his eight grand.

Don, here, he can't
pay him, so...

Yeah, now I owe him ten.

I need the loan shark's name,
just give me a name.

Yeah, that's right,
Lewis Mackey.

Yeah. Send his information to my
cell phone as soon as you can. Thanks.

We had the shark
in our system.

Pring, at least,
that he exists.

You know, Don's story might seem
a little, I don't know, hinky,

but just try to keep
an open mind.

An open mind to what?
All those soccer balls to the head?

I'm just not sold on the
whole domestic abuse thing.

All right?
A scrawny guy like that.

Rage has nothing to do
with size.

I know that, Bones,
all right?

You know that
I know that... It's just,

I looked
into the guy's eyes,

- ... and I-I just didn't see it.
- What about the breast implants?

You know, if she'd gotten them,they would have been
in part of her remains.

Yeah, well, then the money had
to be for something else,

and, hopefully, this guy will be
able to tell us what it was.

There's our
loan shark; let's go.

Okay.
Just, uh, give me a moment here.

Oh, my god...

I completely forgot.

You can't be here, Booth.
You're a degenerate gambler.

Former gambler, okay? Not degenerate.
I've been through the program, okay?

And you know what,
he's on the move, come on.

What if you get a sudden urge
to gamble while you're here?

I mean, it's like sending
an alcoholic to a distillery.

Do you need to sit down?
No, I'm fine.

It's just, you know,
it's the sound of the winning.

- It'll, it'll pass.
- What, the sound, or the winning?

It just kind of reminds me
of the first time.

I walked in to the Desert Inn
with 35 bucks in my pocket,

and I walked out
with a cool ten grand.

The next night
I lost everything.

Tapped out my ATM
trying to get it back.

- What's that game called again?
- Craps.

- What's the matter now?
- No, it's the game.

It's called "craps. " You know, hey,
this used to be my game, Bones.

Roll them bones,
chuck the dice, 7-11.

That's craps.

And he's going for the bar.

Okay, you stay here. I know
how to talk to these guys.

Whoa, talk?
You can barely breathe.

I'm fine, just trust me.
All right?

Wait here.

And do what, exactly?

You're an anthropologist.
Observe the culture.

Lou Mackey,
don't I owe you money?

I'm afraid you have me confused
with someone else.

I don't think I do. Uh...

My buddy, uh, Don Morgan,
he introduced us?

30, scrawny guy,
broken thumb.

Do I need to call security?

Yeah, you know,
that's a great idea.

Maybe you can tell all of us
what you did to Don,

and just maybe
how his wife ended up dead.

I don't know anything
about any wife.

Come on, Lou, don't make
me work so hard here.

Look, the guy
owed me money. He neglected to pay.

And then he fell off
of a ladder.

It's instant karma.

Instant karma, that's going
to get you every time, isn't it?

What about, uh,
Billie Morgan?

She have
instant karma, too?

She's attractive.

I didn't even know
he was married.

How about the name
Mason Roberts, huh?

I'm sure that rings a bell.

Whispers on the strip is
that you finally found him.

Congratulations.

Now leave me alone.

If you know more than what you're
saying,I'm going to find out, eventually.

Do I look worried?

I'm a businessman.

What are you harassing me for?

Ah, you know, it's just
something I have about bullies.

Thanks for the drink.

- 19's a winner.
- Yes!

Uh, hey, Bones.

Oh, Booth, have you ever played
this game before?

It's basic math.
You just count the cards

and then you know
what the dealer has left.

Yeah. Ixne...

The most common card is a ten
because of the face cards.

So if you just always assume
that the down card is a ten...

I'm sorry, I'm afraid
you're going to have to...

We were just about to leave.

- Thanks. Come on.
- What, I was just getting good.

Good at cheating,
that's what counting cards is.

No, it's not cheating;
it's strategy.

Not to them, it's not. Well,
what is the fun in that?

I mean, the odds are completely
skewed in the dealer's favor.

Right, now do you see
the attraction?

Plus, now the man on my right is going to win
the next hand, if he doesn't hit on an eight...

Agealea consina.
Gesundheit.

Also known as
scarab beetles.

They came from the soil
around Billie Morgan.

These adults feed on
putrefied organic matter,

or in this case, Billie.

As a result, they suffered unusually
short lifespans.

From ingesting Billie's flesh?

More likely the powerful
glucocorticoid in her system.

I've yet to isolate
which one specifically.

Be sure to notify
Dr. Brennan when you do.

Any specifics on the bat used
to kill Roberts yet, Zack?

Here's a replica.

Cincinnati Slugger with a three-inch
diameter weighing about 27 ounces.

You'd think the mob would come up with
less clich�d ways to whack people.

But there's
something else.

Staining in Robert's cranium indicates seepage
to the cervicaspine.

So somehow, blood from his head
got down to his neck.

Vertebrae C-7-are those cut marks?

So his throat was cut, too.

Did you find a specific cause
of death on Billie Morgan yet?

She displays a hemothorax
in her left lung.

Caused by a left-sided
rib fracture.

A broken rib punctures a lung
causing massive internal bleeding?

And between her preexisting
injuries and the new ones,

the poor girl never
had a chance to heal.

Oh, won't Dr. Brennan
love to hear that.

Take a closer look at the stress
markers to his sternum, Zachary.

Strike you as unusual?

Well, they do seem more the
result of repetitive medium impact

manual blows than
the single high impact from a bat.

This husband could really dish
it out. Maybe she dished it back.

These hairline fractures
on her knuckles.

Defensive wounds.
Wait a minute.

Let me zoom in.

Repetitive manual blows,fractured knuckles.

The glucocorticoid
that killed your bugs, Hodges,

could it have been simple
cortisone to treat an injury?

Yeah, it's certainly possible.

What are you thinking,
Dr. Brennan?

I'm thinking that Billie Morgan
could have been a boxer.

What do you mean,
like a real boxer in a ring?

But wouldn't boxing gloves
prevent injuries like these?

Unless she wasn't
wearing gloves.

Well, what boxer
does that?

- Ultimate fighters.
- Ultimate fighters.

Oh, you're into that crap,
too, huh, Hodges?

When it shows up on cable,
I can't turn it off.

- And it's actually legal?
- Completely sanctioned.

They do wear some protective gear,which
would fly in the face of our girl's injuries.

Well, that is, unless
it was underground.

Underground where?

Come on, haven't you guys
ever seen Fight Club?

Illegal, no-holds-barred
slugfests. Modern day panem et circenses.

But generally there's
no free bread.

What?

So Don Morgan
didn't beat his wife.

Hate to say I told you so.

Why didn't you
tell us, Don?

Because, I didn't know. All right?
She never told me.

Your own wife didn't tell you
that she was fighting?

Because I'd never let her.

Billie hadn't boxed
in a year.

Commission took her license away
when they found out about her hearing.

It about broke her heart.

- But she was done.
- Apparently not.

You know what I think? Somebody offered
to Billie an illegal fight, and you jumped

at the chance
for a pay day.

Are you out of your mind?

So you borrowed money from
Mackey and you put it all

on Billie, and she ended up
paying the price.

No, no, that's not true.

- Who are you protecting, Don?
- Nobody.

Look, I swear, I didn't know.

Don, we can protect you

if you let us.

If I knew who killed Billie,
I'd tell you. Believe me, please.

Why would anyone fight
illegally in the first place?

You know, there's limited options. Not
everybody could be Oscar De La Hoya.

Who?

Injuries, criminal pasts,
failed drug tests leaves them with no skills,

so they take on a fight
wherever they can find one.

Even if it kills them?

Brennan.

I found something in the particulates
from Billie's shoes.

Traces of hexavalent chromium.

It's a chemical used in
high-end automotive shops,specializing in chroming.

Mechanics who use them have
to file reports with the EPA.

What?

No gambling.

Am I interrupting something?

It's just keno, all right?

I'm sorry if Hodges lost me
at, uh, hexa-valium chromum.

Hexavalent chromium, and
we need to find some.

How can we contact the
Environmental Protection Agency?

Yeah, I'm on it.

This is an auto shop?

Yeah, EPA, they shut it down months
ago for, uh, hazardous waste material.

It was the only shop authorized
to use that chromium stuff.

- See it anywhere? - Could be absorbed
into the dust particles on the floor.

Along with the flash paper.

- What's that?
- Betting slips.

Burn fast in case
there's a raid.

Look at this.

They painted a ring
for the fights.

So this was
the fight club.

If there's blood,
I'd say it is.

Where's your, uh,
light thingie?

Sangre... Todo el
lugar est� cubierto de sangre.

Of the 30 blood samples
found in the body shop,

six were A-positive-
same as Billie Morgan.

Still waiting on DNA.

30 fighters translates to five

two-person fights per hour
over a three-hour period.

Or three fights over five hours,
six fights over...

We get the idea, Zack. Lots of fights.

I ran thermal imaging on Billie's remaining
soft tissue to reconstruct her injuries.

This is what she might have
looked like after the fight.

Ah, the sweet science.

Just when I get to
a place where I can

almost stomach seeing
maggots eating intestines, this.

How could anybody do this
to themselves?

You know, in 900 B.C., the Greek ruler Theseus
entertained himself watching two men in chairs

beat each other
to death.

Just saying, it's nothing new.

I can work up force
and velocity readings for each blow.

Zack can help me ID her opponent

from the circumference
and diameter of the fists.

I'd rather Zack focus on our
second weapon for Roberts.

None of these blades
are narrow enough.

It's as if his vertebrae
was cut with a razor blade.

Or a razor wire.

Luca Brasi.

"The Godfather?"

Please, someone,
buy a DVD player.

You mean a garrote? Yes,
a garrote pued so tightly

arnd Lucas...
or rather, Robert's neck...

That it sliced through his throat
and severed his carotid artery.

Okay, the whole maggots eating intestines
thing is not nearly as gross to me now.

Yeah, yeah. Bones, come here.
Okay, thanks a lot.

Agent Xang said he found the owner
of the old body shop.

He said some guy paid him $3,000 cash
just to use the place for one night.

No names, no
questions asked.

Seems like a theme
in this town.

Hey, why is he hitting on a 16?I mean,
look at him, he's completely distracted.

Well, you know what? Actually, Bones,
you can if the face card is showing...

All right,
let me just...

There he is.

Look at this, this is
my buddy Lou Mackey.

Oh, great,
so we're friends now.

Yeah. I need you to tell me
where a fight fan can get a little...

- Seeley?
- Frankie?

What are you doing
back in Vegas, huh?

- Look at this.
- Man's got a lot of friends.

So it would seem.

I'll catch up with
you later, Frankie.

Hey, Lou...

See you, friend. Is he a problem?

No, no, it's all good, huh?

Frankie Daniels.
Hey, Temperance Brennan,

Frank Daniels. We served
in the Gulf together.

That's right.

Hit the strip the minute we
got back. And you never left?

I bounce around, you know,here, Chicago, L.A.
You know me, huh, Seel?

- Always chasing rainbows.
- Good old Frankie boy.

How's Karen?
No, no, that's over, you know?

She ran off with some
loser stockbroker.

It's just as well. I don't need that.
Come on, Frankie. You all right?

- You don't need...
- Don't start with that, huh?

It's been too many years.
I'm getting by, all right?

Yeah, guys like Lou Mackey?

Yeah, well, you know, minor,
uh, minor occupational hazard.

Have you considered medication?
Oh, Bones.

An antidepressant might
raise your norepinephrine level.

It could help control
the impulsivity.

What are you, a drug rep
now or something?

It's...
Excuse us, Bones, okay?

Wondering if you know anything about
these, uh, underground fight clubs.

Uh, yeah, actually,I do know one.
Bare knuckles, no rules.

I need to know where. It moves around.

This guy, this guy Joe Nolan,
he sells 800 numbers.

You call, you find out the time, the place,
code to get in.

Like the old boxer Joe Nolan?

Yeah, welterweight champ in '92.

He owns a gym here on Federal.

Thanks.

Hey, uh,think you can spot me
a couple of bucks?

Think I forgot my wallet at the house there,
you know?

Yeah.

Just something, you know.
I'll get you back.

Frankie's a better guy
than he seems.

And yet he knows
this Nolan guy.

Anybody who knows
the fight game knows Joe Nolan.

I mean, the guy,he was, you know,
set to be the next Sugar Ray.

Till he was accused of, you
know, throwing a couple fights.

You mean losing on purpose?
Why would anyone do that?

Maybe I should just
talk to Joe alone.

What's with this sudden
impulse to leave me behind?

I'll tell you,Bones, all right,the usual rules,
they don't apply here, okay?

The deeper we get, I don't want
anyone knowing that we're FBI.

Well, that's easy
for me- I'm not.

Okay, fine.

Hey, what do you think?

I have enough Bibles,thank you, but try next door.

You said I could be
a school teacher.

Not the spinster kind who lives
with a sister, but, you know,

the hot one who makes
the boys crazy. Here.

Put on the one
that I picked out.

All right?Okay, but don't
be so bossy.

We're newlyweds,
I said. Taking Sin City by storm.

Ready for action.

But you know, marriage is such
an archaic institution.

Listen, Bones,
I know what I'm doing, okay?

I've done this before.
Just stop arguing.

Well, I'm not,
it's just, you know,

I don't need a piece of paperto prove my
commitment.

Fine, we're engaged. Why would I be okay
with engagement?

Whatever, Bones, all right?

We're a loosely committed couple of hot high rollers.

See? With money to burn.

'Cause that is what's gonna
get us in the door.

Like this?

Yeah.
Yeah, like that.

Hey, Cam.

Dr. Brennan, judging by
the angle of the blows,

Billie's last opponent
was five-six and left-handed.

With a fist size of
approximately 90 millimeters.

Zack measured.
That's hot.

Hot?

Wait a minute.
What's hot?

Uh, nothing.

Vegas, Vegas is hot. It's very hot here.

How does anyone actually
walk in these things?

Well, them boots, they ain't
made for walking, sweetheart.

Okay, that was
completely over the top.

Oh, you know, you play your
part and I'll play mine.

Hey Booth, the girl.
Yeah, I see.

- 5'6" southpaw.
- Yeah, and left-handed.

Can I help you folks?
Well, I can't believe it, huh.

- Sloppy Joe Nolan.
- Sloppy Joe?

Yeah, that's how
he left his opponents.

These days it's just Joe.

Hey, I busted a lace, Joe.

Sorry to bother you, Joe,
but you know, you had a huge

impact on my, uh, style
back in the army.

You know, the juke to the body, fall
back right hook worked for me every time.

Another army fighter, Joe?

How many of these has-beens
you get in here a week?

At least this one still looks
like he's in shape.

Oh, yeah, my man's
in great shape, believe me.

Easy there, honey. Well, let's see it, army.

Show us those moves
that made you so famous.

Oh yeah, go ahead, tiger,
show these clowns.

- Come on.
- Maybe I will, just for a little.

Yeah, come on, tiger.

All right, let's see, Joe.

Give that little, you know, tap, you
know, juke to the body, with a hard

Right. Followed by
a whole bunch of them.

So much for my has-been
army fighter.

Not bad.

You know, I still got it.

Yeah, maybe a
little too much.

What's your name?
Tony Scallion.

Here's my fianc�e, Roxanne.

Yeah, we're more
engaged to be engaged.

So you looking to train or what?

Ah, you know, I don't
fight no more.

But they say that you could
direct me and Roxie

to a little, uh,
you know, underground action.

They say a lot, don't they.

Yeah, well, some guy at the Rio, one of
them, uh, you didn't hear it from me types.

Sorry. Can't help you.

Uh, what'd I tell you, Tony?
That guy was just trying to hit on me.

Though I do know a
number you could call.

Not that I give it to just anybody.
Oh, come on, Joe.

They seem like such nice people.
Yeah, we're nice people.

A thousand bucks,each.

Oh, that's a little steep.
No, Tony, come on.

We only live once and
I want to see a fight.

Nothing like being a kept man, huh? Yeah,
I don't know what I'd do without her.

That was amazing.
What got into you?

It's from when I used to watch
old movies with my dad. He really liked Clara Bow.

Clara Bow was a silent
film star, Bones.

Yeah, but I-I guess that's how
I always imagined she sounded.

Just like you imagined she
carried around a wad of cash?

Oh, that.

No, I couldn't sleep last night, so I snuck off to play
a little crap.

Craps, Bones, plural. And I can't believe your
beginner's luck.

Don't say that. You'll jinx it.

Since when do you
believe in jinxes?

I don't, but after hearing the crap dealer say it-

Crap dealer's right,
all right, no jinxes.

We got a big night ahead of us.

All right,the federal prosecutor
here and Billie here.

Both show evidence
of topical chemicals.

Now this will extract the elements I need
to cross-reference with the dead beetles, safely

Not that she was safe. Letting herself
get drawn into a fight like that. Mm.

We've all been in a fight
or two we wish we hadn't.

Not me.

You've never fought?
Never thrown a punch?

Never saw the logic of it.

It's not about logic. It's-it's, it's
emotional, it's anger.

I don't get angry. It's not rational.

What if you were sitting on the beach and someone
kicked sand in your face?

I don't go to the beach.
All right, work with me here, Zack.

There has to be something that would piss you off.

What if I call call you a scrawny
twit who can't hold

a normal conversation
with a ten year old.

I don't have much in common
with a ten year old.

And although I don't know what a twit is,
objectively, I am thin and lack muscular definition.

Dude,

you're a Vulcan, and
a dull Vulcan at that.

Can we please work?
All right, now you're pissing me off.

You're a freak, man.
Anger is a part of being human. Grow a set.

I would really like to work,Hodgins.
You know,it is not enough to be some

botic second-rate grad
student.

I am the most valuable and accomplished
grad student

whose ever been installed
at the Jeffersonian.

Yeah, and you're going to be a grad student
the rest of your life, because you have no fire.

I'm working on my dissertation.
Oh, please.

You've been saying that
for years.

You're a poser. You don't have
your doctorate because you have no drive.

No passion for
what you love.

Dude.

It's not what you think.
You got pissed.

No, striking you merely seemed to be the most practical
way to get you to be quiet and focus on work.

But I didn't realize
how much it would hurt.

Nice punch though.
Thank you.

And my dissertation
will be finished by the end of the month.

Have the chemicals
been extracted yet?

Looks good.

Dr. Brennan wanted the results
as soon as possible.

I'm moving.

You're not going to hit me
again, are you?

I suppose from an anthropological standpoint,

this taps into the annihilistic part of the
human psyche,fascinated by blood and gore.

That's human fighting.

More like lesser surrogates engaged
in battles on behalf of the elite lords

who don't have the courage to fight themselves.

Well, you know what,come back to me Roxie.
Ooh,look at all this sweat.

That's it, it's over.

Your winner.
Little Mikey!

Come on for Little Mikey,
let's go.

What theell
are you looking at?

Not much.

Hey,Tony.

Sorry, Booth.
I just couldn't have you blowing

my cover.
Ah, yeah,

and as they taught us
in Quantico, Walt,

I wasn't about to.
Do you know everyone in this town?

I had no idea
we had an agent in there.

Yeah, I'm on a special
recourse assignment,under deep cover about a month.

Still can't crack who's running the show.

What do you know
about Joe Nolan?

Uh, he low level guy,
one of many buffers.

That 800 number he sells changes with every event.

Trying to track him is like playing whack-a-mole.

Have you ever seen her fight at the club?

Uh, yeah, it's um,
Billie something, right?

Yeah, 4-1 underdog.

Oh, she whooped this hot Latina
pretty good.

Latina, about 5'6" left-handed?

She works out at Nolan's club?

Yeah, Marisol. Tough as nails,and
undefeated before your girl came along.

Well, what if
Billie bet on herself.

Well, you know what,
with the money

that Don borrowed, uh,
$8,000, you know, 4-1 odds,

that'd get under their feet in a hurry.

Maybe that's what got her killed. Well,
we got to talk to this Marisol person.

Yeah, we'll go find her.
So what's next for you?

Uhsprained my wrist two fights
ago with no chance to heal.

If I lose another bout,
I'm off the rotation.

Booth's a boxer.
Excuse me?

I'm just saying, if we can find a way to
get you into the rotation,

you can fight Walt and lose, and then he can stay
and maybe have a chance to heal.

You're volunteering me to fight?

No, I'm volunteering you to throw one. You
could lose with your hands tied behind your back.

Hey, Hodgins.
How's this for coincidence?

Scarab beetles from Robert's
body had the same short lifespan as Billie's,

but not from cortisone.
His bugs died from ingesting Pinus elliottii.

Pine? In the desert?

Yeah, pine oil resin is
often used

to treat the same skin
conditions as the cortisone

that killed the other beetles.

Okay, confirm that
and get back to me.

Pine oil. Okay.
Pine oil.

What's that mean?
I don't know yet.

Go pick your fight.

What the hell is all this about anyway?
He insulted me, Joe.

He needs a beating
and I need the money.

I thought you didn't
fight anymore.

Ah,you know,that was before I got
blind-sided out of retirement, huh?

Will, uh, this do?

Glad to see your sugar mama
taught you a thing or two.

Hey,Bones, fight's on.

No trouble convincing Joe?
Nah. Nothing a stack of bills couldn't fix.

She give us anything yet?
Nothing.

We're going to need a warrant.
For what? What's our evidence?

Agent Xang's talking to it.

Marisol's bones, tissue and
muscle are still healing.

If we can match her injuries
to Billie's,we can prove they fought.

If the fight's what killed Billie,
Marisol's guilty of manslaughter. Ah.

Which would give us leverage to force her to give up
whoever runs these fights.

Which she might do
in exchange for protection.

So what you want to do is,
you want to get her DNA sample

send them back
to the Jeffersonian.

Actually,
I want to send Marisol.

This girl, the whole girl?

Our squints
can perform a live autopsy

while our thermal
imaging programs

reconstruct a
theoretical find.

You know, you're lucky
I know a very understanding judge in Vegas.

Of course you do.

Okay, Marisol.

You're not under arrest.
You're just here as evidence.

So when this
nice agent leaves you here...

I'm going to kick your skinny ass.
Honey, I'm from the Bronx.

Don't for a second think
you scare me.

Look, I didn't kill nobody,
all right?

I didn't even fight.
Well, if that's true,

let's go over to the scanner
and prove it.

Or disprove it.
Hodgins.

I'll take your robe.
Is this going to hurt?

You won't even know it's happening.
Marisol, sorry if these are cold.

What just happened?

Blood pools in recent injuries.
Thermal imaging records that.

Now we're going to match your
injuries against Billie Morgan's.

Are you nervous?
About what, huh?

Throw a few to make it look
good and I let Walt take me down.

It's over! Your winner.
Diana. The destroyer!

All right, ladies and gentlemen.

We've got some fresh blood to shed for you tonight.

The great Tony the Tiger!

Why are they booing?

They find it more fun
than cheering.

That's the guy from Nolan's gym.

Yeah, I had a
feeling we'd see him again.

Hey,Tony.
What are you doing over here?

Yeah, you're
supposed to be over there.

Hold on, folks.

There's been a change
in the cards.

I'm sorry, man, they pulled me.

They what?
In this corner,

a man who needs no
introduction, Monroe!

They said Monroe would be a bigger draw
for the betters.

Yeah, you know,
he's sort of bigger everything.

All right, ladies and gentlemen,

place your bets.
Last call for wagers right now. Get your money down.

You can't fight him, Booth. He'll kill you.

I don't really
have a choice, Roxie.

Tiger, center ring, now.

Okay, boys,
on my signal.

Kill!

Damage to Billie's scapula
and thoracic vertebrae...

Force and velocity match patella
damage to Marisol's left knee.

This contusion on Billie's fifth rib,the mark
looks like it was delivered by a heel or a fist.

Now a right, followed
by a grab to the throat, and Billie's down again.

More damage to the scapula.

Easy on Billie's
chest there, Marisol.

Hairline fracture of Billie's
sternum at the third costal cartilage

is congruent with damage
to Marisol's left hand.

And we have another match.

Billie ducks and causes the maxillary
fractures of Marisol's skull.

Marisol seems to favor
the right to the body,

left to the head combo.

I do not.

You can deny it all you want. We've got the evidence
right here.

The choke hold...
Excuse me. Tony!

...matches the bruising
on Billie's neck.

Tony! Stay down.

Monroe has calcium deposits
on his left medial epicondyle.

And that helps me how?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

He can't extend his arms,

and he lacks range of motion
in his quadratus lumborum.

Hit him there.

Hit him where?

His lower back,
above his right kidney.

The tide has turned,
my friends.

I told you she could fight. She doesn't fight,
she dominates.

Give him
your Nolan move.

You can say that again.

How could I miss that?
We all missed it, Zack.

Missed what?
What is it?

Your winner!Your winner!
Tony, the man-eating tiger!

Tony t Tiger.

I did it. I did it. Your
winner! Your phone is ringing

Hey, Cam.
We missed it.

The fatablow was obscured
by all her other injuries.

Marisol cracked Billie's ribs,

but not hard enough
to puncture the lung.

It was a bat, the same baseball bat
that killed the federal prosecutor.

What is it?

It was a baseball bat
that killed Billie.

So when you're dressed,um, the agent will take you
back to the airport.

Marisol...

Why do you fight?

Where else am I going to make
a thousand in one night without selling myself?

And I could make even
more betting on myself.

Long as I ain't greedy.

What do you mean, greedy?

Bookies don't mind us making
a few bucks on the side.

But just a few. Had you bet
on your fight with Billie?

Girl cost me $200.

Had Billie bet on herself?

Marisol?

From what I heard... some guys picked Billie up
after the fight.

They didn't look
too happy.

Why didn't you tell the police
or tell us?

Look, I might not have much,
but what I got, I aim to keep.

What could be so important to you that you
could let somebody get away with murder?

My daughter.

She's two. She lives with
my mom, okay?

And if they found out
I was brought here...

Who's they?

Look, I don't know.

And I don't want to know.

I'm sorry.

Thanks, Angela.

So we were right.

Billie bet on herself,which is why
I bet on you.

You bet on me?

Yeah, with Nick,
the guy from Nolan's gym.

It was one of
two reasons, actually,

but when I heard the odds
I couldn't... My odds?

Yeah.
What were they?

Well, you were 20-1 underdog.

So I bet with Nick,
figuring tt if...

Wait, 20-1 against?

Really? Did I
look that bad?

If Nick pays me,
he's not our guy.

But if he doesn't pay me,it m not prove
he killed Billie,

but it'll put him
in strong contention.

At the very least.
Very smart, Bones.

What was the other reason?

Come on.
I have winnings to collect.

Hey, Nick.

Thought you ran out on us.

Nick Arno don't run
from anybody, sweetheart.

Arno? Sweet Pete's kid?

That was quite a show
you put on tonight, army boy.

Yeah, well, you know,
I had my lucky charm here.

Yeah, and I believe
you owe us some money.

I suppose, but...

see, the gentlemen I answer to,they
have sort of an unwritten rule

about fighters getting greedy.

Plus their spouses,
too, I'm afraid.

No, we're not married.
We're not even engaged.

Wait, what's
the rule?

Enjoy a taste,
but never expect a meal.

Least of all
with a ringer involved.

I ain't no ringer.

What's a ringer?
They think I cheated.

She's good, army boy.

Real good.

But I seen Monroe take out
whole biker gangs.

Then I want
my thousand bucks back.

Consider it a fine.
Fine? Are you serious?

Maybe I'm not
making myself clear here.

As our new top seed,
he works for us now.

You don't just punch out
our best guy and walk away.

Not when there's
more money to be made.

You think you can
make me fight for you?

You only find out
if you don't.

Then you know what?

I want to talk to this gentleman
that you answer to.

And I want world peace.

Look, take my advice.

Let Joe here escort you
safely back to your hotel.

Let your beautiful-
whatever she is-

ice your wounds.

In about a day or two,we'll come and get you
for your next fight.

Get him out of here, Joe.

Let's go.

I vouched for you.

So it's my ass in the
sling, you understand?

We didn't mean
to get you in trouble.

Yet here I am.

So you're going to do
exactly what Nick says.

Now the people that
are running things,they don't play.

And I got enough strikes
against me as it is.

You got an itch, Joe?
What?

The cortisone.

If it wasn't injected,
it could have been topical.

Like the pine oil,
they're both common ingredients

in lotions used to
treat skin ailments.

What the hell
is she talking about?

She's talking
about your rash.

Psoriasis?

Eczema. Which is
none of your concern. Let's go.

Whoa, whoa, hey, whoa,
where we going to go, Joe?

We going back to our hotel
or mile marker 15?

Where we found Billie Morgan
and Mason Roberts. You remember them.

Who are you people?
I'm with the FBI, Joe.

Look, I don't
have my badge,I don't have my gun.

But you'd be wise
to believe me. Now you have a choice.

What kind of choice do I have?

To be the man that you were
before you threw your first fight.

Or you wind up dead like
the rest of these guys.

You were the real deal.
You were strong and fast.

Everybody wanted
to fight like you.

There was so much money,

easy money.

I thought I could handle it.

He was going to get me
another shot at the title.

Who?
Nick's father,Sweet Pete.

And he's owned me ever since.

Made me throw
more fights.

Made you kill Mason Roberts?

I didn't kill anybody.

I just buried them.

For Pete?

And when Billie Morgan
won her bet,you buried her, too.

She was a sweet kid.

Just looking for a way out.

I begged Pete to let her be.

He killed her.

Might as well
have done it myself.

I brought her in here.

I knew what kind of punk
she'd be dealing with.

Bad enough you're under
Sweet Pete's thumb,

but now you're under
his son's, too?

That's what happens when
your luck turns in this town.

You keep hoping it's going
to turn around again.

Hoping you're going
to get back to even.

But you never do.

Write your own story now, Joe.

You can make Nick, Sweet Pete,
all his friends just disappear.

The way they did to
Billie and Roberts.

Vegas authorities have arrested
Nick Arno,

along with his father, Tangier's
casino gaming executive

Peter Arno,
otherwise known as Sweet Pete,

in connection with the murder
five years ago

of federal prosecutor
Mason Roberts, among others.

"Among others"?

Is that what Billie Morgan is
to these people, "others"?

It's day one, Bones.

Relax.

But you know what,
I mean, Billie...

Billie's going to have
her story told.

It's just a matter of time.

So what was the second reason?

What?

You never told me the second
reason why you bet on me.

Yeah, it was... silly.

Aww, come on, you know, try me.

Beginner's luck.

I haven't lost at anything
since I've been here, so...

well, I...

I figured if I bet on you
then...

I couldn't lose. Sounds silly, right?

Sounds familiar.

Thanks.
You're welcome.

You ready?
Yeah, let's go.
