All language subtitles for Bones S04E23 The Beaver in the Otter

My name is Greg Harmalard!
And I am here to recruit you!

Tomorrow night,
our noble conference champions,

the Middlesex Archers,

face the desperate and conniving
Forest Lake Otters.

Right about now, the Otters must be
wondering where their mascot went.

Lake Forest sucks!
Lake Forest sucks!

Lake Forest sucks!

Archers, ready your bows!

Archers, raise your bows.

Archers, aim. Archers, fire!

Yeah!

Ladies and gentlemen
of Middlesex College, aim your weapons!

- Oh, yeah!
- Fire at will!

Return fire!

Fire!

- What is that thing!
- It looks real!

- Oh, my gosh. It is real.
- What is that thing?

Male. Some of this costume is
fused to the remains.

Good morning.
I'm Vernon Warner, Dean of Students.

Special Agent Seeley Booth.
This here is Dr. Temperance Brennan

- from the Jeffersonian.
- There is a lot of damage to this body.

They had a cannon,
more like a blunderbuss, really,

filled to the brim with bric-a-brac
and shrapnel.

Yeah. Look,
I suspect that this might be a prank.

- A prank?
- Well, it's college, Bones.

I suspect that one of our
less reflective frat houses

may have stolen these remains
from the medical school.

Beta Delta Sigma.
Got a missing cadaver report yesterday.

Tell you what, Bones.
You know, when I was in college,

my frat, we stole a cadaver,
dressed it up like Caesar,

and put it on a statue of a horse.

Would this by any chance
be a fraternity of sociopaths?

But if the Betas did do this,
I will withdraw their certification.

Stolen cadaver was male, 73 years old.

His snowmobile fell through the ice.
Donated his body to science.

Yeah. Snowmobilers and motorcyclists
are our main sources of cadavers.

No.

The third molar has not fully erupted.

I'd be surprised
if he was older than mid-20s.

So this is not the missing cadaver?

I think you'll find your missing medical
school cadaver is over there.

- Where?
- Sitting on the bleachers.

He hasn't moved
since we got here.

No. That's just campus security.

They're always like that.
But I'll go check it out.

So if he is not a stolen cadaver, then...

Well, he wasn't alive when our students
shot him with the cannon, was he?

I won't know cause of death
until I get him back to the lab.

Yeah, she's right. It's your cadaver.
He reeks of formaldehyde.

Okay, let's get it all back
to the Jeffersonian, shall we?

Looks like someone took
a flamethrower to Sasquatch.

Well, this is what
he was supposed to look like.

Someone finally killed a mascot?

- Mr. Vaziri, do you have the x-rays?
- Yes.

I have never seen so many
foreign objects in human remains.

Arrows, marbles, jacks,
various coins, cutlery.

My best guess is
a nuclear explosion occurred

just as the victim entered a 99c Store.

Well, close.

He was shot by a blunderbuss,
pelted by an angry mob, and then burned.

Now that's what I call team spirit.

I'm a wisecracking pathologist
with a dark sense of humor.

It was funny. Yeah.

What did they say?

Dishonorable discharge?

Court-martial convicted me
of misuse of authority

and theft of government property.

Come on! No Booth has ever gotten
a dishonorable discharge.

Yeah. No Booth has ever had to save
his brother from an insane kidnapper.

Sorry.

I owed you for digging me out of crap
my whole life.

You know, you're gonna need a job.

Now, I joined the Navy when I was 17.

So a job, that's what civilians refer to
as "duty," right?

Yes. Booth.

Angela identified the boy in the otter suit.

Wow, that was quick.
Just give me a second.

- Are you talking to me?
- No, I'm talking to my brother.

- Just give me one minute.
- Just do your thing.

I'll catch up with you later.

- Look, hey, I'll help you find a job.
- What? Me?

I save your life, you find me a job.
Yeah, seems fair.

Yeah, I'm back.

The student walk-in dentist was
able to provide dental records.

I e-mailed you the particulars.

The victim is James Bouvier.
His friends called him Beaver.

I assume because of his last name,
which is Bouvier.

Yeah. I'm sure that's why.

Although, despite the similar sound,
Bouvier means ox, not beaver.

Beaver is 23 years old and a member
of the Beta Delta Sigma fraternity.

Yeah, that's not a coincidence.

Statistically, given the size of the campus,
it could be a complete coincidence

that the murdered student

is also a member of the group of
sociopathic, young, male, cadaver thieves.

Statistically, maybe.
But this is not math class, okay, Bones?

Just meet me at Middlesex College
in 30 minutes.

Don't mention anything about Beaver
when we're talking to these people.

- Beaver, okay. What people?
- These people here.

- They're all potential suspects. Got it?
- Okay.

Okay, so who organized
the rally last night?

- That would be me and Gary.
- That's Greg Harmalard and Gary Bacon.

The bonfire is kind of a tradition.

Me and Gary added the whole
hanging-the-enemy-mascot element.

Molly brought in the band

and took care of letting everyone know
the where and when details.

Well, just an e-mail chain, really.

- Well, whose idea was the blunderbuss?
- Me again.

You have to understand that we had
no idea that there was a cadaver in there.

It's from the med school, right?
That's what I heard.

Okay. Who stole the otter costume
from Forest Lake?

Me, Greg and Dave.

When you stole the costume,
was there anything inside of it?

Nothing. I mean, there was
a dancing acrobat dude, whatever.

But we duct-taped him to a pole
and took the suit.

Okay. Where was the costume located
between the time you stole it

and when it was hung on the gallows,
blown up and incinerated?

Well, we just kicked it under here.
This is the homecoming float.

Me, Dave and Greg stuffed it
with cafeteria leftovers and plastic bags.

The head was a cantaloupe.

Next day, we brought in Dave's dad's truck
and hung it up, drove it out to the rally.

So are any of you guys members
of the Beta Delta Sigma fraternity?

The Betas don't build school spirit,
they tear it down. So definitely not.

Any of you guys know a guy
by the name of Jimmy Bouvier?

- Also known as Beaver.
- He's a Beta. He's got a huge bong.

Beaver's okay.
You know, he's a good-time guy.

He likes to throw up a lot is all I know.

But if anybody was gonna put a cadaver
in an otter costume, it'd be Beaver.

I'll bet he was watching everyone
running and screaming last night,

laughing his ass off.

This is a commemorative pin
from the Chinese Olympics.

It was in what's left of the victim's liver.

Ball bearing.
All this stuff is extremely common.

- Nails, screws, bolts, washers, keys.
- What is this?

- My guess, it's a USB drive.
- What kind of people do this?

Perforate human remains
with household commonalities and refuse?

Oh, gee. I don't know.
Every bomber who ever lived.

Did you make that comment
simply because I am Muslim?

Are you serious? Of course.

Timothy Mc Veigh,
Ted Kaczynski, William Ayers,

Mr. George P. Metesky,
known as the original "Mad Bomber."

It seems an insurmountable task, this.

Each of these could have been
the cause of death.

And yet we will not be able to trace its...

Trace its?

- What?
- Origin.

- This is a bullet.
- 22 caliber.

A bullet says, "I wish to kill you"
much more clearly than an Olympic pin.

- Can we agree?
- Yeah.

I'm Robert Hooper. The Beta Delta
chapter president. This is Dalton Abbott.

He helped the Beaver steal the corpse
from the med school.

Listen, guys,
we don't care about the cadaver.

We just want to find out
who killed your brother.

We agreed before you guys got here

that we'd answer any and all questions
you have truthfully.

A conspiracy to tell the truth. Interesting.

Yeah. Eli was the Beaver's frosh.

You know,
kind of breaking him into the Greek life.

What was Beaver like?

Beaver was the most popular guy
in the house.

No. I asked, "What was he like?"
Not, "Was he liked?"

- Sweets.
- What? There's a difference.

Look. The Beaver was exactly like
a great guy who everybody liked.

- He was cool.
- I liked him.

He was a brother.

What was Beaver's life like
outside of the fraternity?

Like Eli said, everybody liked him.

Well, except for the faculty.
He was on academic probation.

But academic probation is the price
you pay for everybody liking you.

Girlfriend? Or is this one of those
"bros before hoes" kind of frats?

Beaver was more like a partier.

Well, we do know that Beaver
was with at least one girl.

Why? What makes you think so?

- Scoreboard.
- What?

Beaver, one star, one conquest.

So do the stars here represent
the number of times

individual members of the fraternity
completed the sex act

or the number of girls?

- The number of...
- The second.

Just curious.
Do you also compare penis sizes?

No. Only if we're really drunk
and already naked.

- What?
- You're crazy, man.

What? We agreed to answer
all their questions truthfully.

Dalton Abbott,
very successful according to this.

- Compensating for something.
- Sweets, stop psychoanalyzing frat life

- and just get on with the Beaver questions.
- Sure, of course.

Look, guys, wouldn't it be more impressive
to actually have a single girl

want to have sex with you multiple times?

Unless your only objective is to impress
other adolescent males.

- Guys, Beaver's single star.
- Molly Briggs.

- Thank you.
- But, guys, we agreed, for the last time.

If Harmalard found out that
Beaver was bouncing Molly, he'd kill him.

Greg Harmalard?
The guy who organized the bonfire?

Yeah. Yeah, Molly's boyfriend.
He's in ROTC.

- They like shooting things.
- Yeah.

They keep track of sexual conquests
with stars on the wall?

- It's emotionally stunted.
- Guys, it's a college fraternity.

- They seem like really terrible people.
- They're college kids, okay?

It's their job description is to be bad.
It's what they do.

Yeah. But still, a community of young men
mutually supporting bad decisions.

Look, these kids,
they go out into the world.

They're alone. They have no supervision.

They have to be bad.
It's just in order to figure out what it is.

Did you know, scientific fact,
their frontal lobes are the size of raisins?

No, that is not a scientific fact.

What they gotta do is build
their frontal lobes with exercise, okay?

And that comes
with doing the wrong thing.

Okay. So your theory is
you gotta be bad to be good?

Exactly. Facts of life, my friends.

Okay, so what transmissions did you
get from the brothers?

Booth, he is not a radio.

Well, he kind of is.
That's why I brought him along, Bones.

What I did observe
using my eyes and my training

is that these three frat brothers weren't
actually upset about Beaver's death.

- How do you know?
- Well, real grief comes and goes in waves.

These guys had their faces set in sadness
the whole time. They were lying.

I believe you're just guessing.

- Oops.
- Okay, fine.

I'm a Magic 8-Ball.

- I think you hurt his feelings.
- What? Did you believe him?

The bullet Arastoo found
in the victim's remains was a.22 caliber.

- Light and relatively undamaged.
- Low pressure rim-fire cartridge.

Which is consistent
with ROTC small arms.

So do you recognize this pistol?

Yes, sir. It's a Beretta U22 Neos LR
with a 6-inch barrel.

Ten round capacity, low blade front sights
and adjustable rear sights.

I'm in ROTC. I know my weapons.

Well, you should know this one
particularly well,

because it was last signed out to you.

FBI ballistics has ascertained that
this gun fired this bullet.

- Where'd you find the bullet?
- In Beaver's corpse.

- Beaver's dead?
- You know, he's catching on pretty good.

- Wait. I never shot Beaver.
- Did you fire this gun at the rally?

Yes, sir. I did. But I loaded it with blanks.

That was Beaver
hanging in the otter mascot outfit?

He's quite adept
at putting the puzzle together.

What was Beaver doing in there?

Well, we were hoping that maybe
you would be able to tell us.

Look,
I told you I loaded the gun with blanks.

- Did you check the chamber?
- I think so.

Well, obviously you are either careless
or you intended to fire the bullet.

Or somebody, you know, sabotaged me.

Beaver had to be hanging up there
for at least an hour before...

No way that Beaver was still alive
when I fired, right?

I had no idea it was Beaver.
I had no reason to shoot Beaver.

Except for the fact
that he slept with your girlfriend.

I don't want to sound conceited.

But look at Beaver, look at Molly,
look at me.

Me and Beaver? Sexually?
Do I look like a blow-up doll?

Beaver told his fraternal brothers
that he had sex with you.

Yeah? Well, he lied.

Look, I'll give you DNA
or whatever you want.

And then you can do me a favor and
broadcast the results across the campus.

Thanks.

We don't have anything
to compare her DNA to.

I have an idea.

We're gonna collect his sheets off his bed?

Yes. And then we will check them for DNA.

See if he had sexual intercourse
with Molly Briggs.

Right.

Who's gonna check the kid's sheets?
It seems like a bad job to me.

Mmm-hmm.

Gentlemen, raise your glasses.

Members of Beta Delta Sigma,

I ask that you form in your mind
your favorite image

of our fallen brother,
Jimmy "the Beaver" Bouvier!

- Why are they all wearing bed sheets?
- It's a toga memorial.

And with that image firm in your mind,
I say drink!

To Beaver!

Excuse me!

Did one of you take the sheets
from Beaver's room?

Because that room is sealed for evidence
and you will be prosecuted.

That's a good one, Bones. Now no one's
gonna admit to having Beaver's sheets.

Well, then we'll have to take them all.

You can take mine, pretty lady.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, you heard him, boys.

- Give them your sheets.
- She can do my laundry.

- Free Willy.
- A little fluff and fold?

Manscape.

I'll meet you back at the lab, okay?

- Can I offer you anything, ma'am?
- No.

Huh?

- What do you think?
- Yeah. That's nice.

Not really gonna do you much good
here in the wintertime, that's for sure.

- You're always practical, huh, Seeley?
- Listen, I got you a job interview.

- Yeah?
- Yeah. An Army buddy of mine

up in Pittsburgh is looking for someone to
head up his criminal intelligence unit.

- You found me a job in less than 24 hours?
- Just an interview.

- You want to use my car?
- No.

Jared, you can't show up
to a job interview on a bike.

- Seeley, I'm not going to the interview.
- Why?

Because I don't want a job. I'm gonna
take this thing and I'm going on a trip.

- You're going on a trip? Where?
- I always wanted to see India.

- Without, you know, spying on Pakistan.
- Okay. I see.

So you're gonna somehow
get this bike to India, ride it around.

What if it breaks down?
What are you gonna do for parts?

What am I gonna do for parts
if it breaks down in India?

That's all you have to say about it?

All right, you know what?
Just go on the interview.

Would you...

You forgot to tell me to get shots
and not to talk to strangers.

So were you able to match sheets
with boys?

Believe me, there was enough DNA
on these sheets

to paint a very clear picture
of life at Beta Delta Sigma.

For example, these two boys

were carrying on a sexual relationship
with each other.

Yeah, those two guys are
sleeping with the same girl.

Although, refreshingly,
not at the same time.

What about Beaver?

- Lots and lots of DNA.
- All of it his own.

So there was no DNA on any of the sheets
that could be Molly Briggs?

Vaginal contributions were found
on eight of the sets of sheets,

none from Molly Briggs.

But Dr. Hodgins did find something
more than semen on Beaver's sheets.

Yeah. I found evidence of vegetable-based
lanol, assorted liposomes,

- Sepigel and micronized estriol.
- Ointment.

From the stain's position on the sheet
and its shape, which was approximately

3 inches long
by one and one-quarter inch wide...

Okay, we get it.

...the substance appears to
have transferred

from the victim's penis
directly to the bed sheet.

Adolescent males will use almost any
available lubricant when masturbating.

- Even estrogen cream?
- No. A more plausible scenario

has got Beaver sexing it up
at a different location,

then coming home to his own bed, naked,
and I refer again to the imprint.

- Sex with...
- An older woman. Yeah.

- Yeah, most likely menopausal.
- Molly Briggs is 20.

Also, I finished my autopsy.

And the bullet shot by Greg Harmalard
was definitely not cause of death.

- He was dead when it struck him?
- For at least 12 hours.

So we still have no cause of death?

Well, I've got a theory.
Kid died of dehydration.

Forgot to replenish his fluids.

- Okay, what are we looking for this time?
- You know, photos, love notes.

I don't know. Fur, gray hair.

Anything that's gonna help us
identify Beaver's cougar.

Beaver, otter, cougar.
This case is like a day at the zoo.

A cougar is an older woman
who prefers younger men.

Wouldn't that indicate
that every woman is a cougar?

Thanks for the insight there, Bones.

- Okay, what's the victim's birth date?
- 11-05-89.

I'm Jared's older brother, you know.
He should listen to me.

I can provide you with several societies

where younger brothers are required
under threat of death

to do what their older brothers tell them.

- I like those societies.
- Well, they're mostly extinct now.

Did you give me Beaver's birthday
the scientific way?

Day, month, year.
If you want month, day, year, 05-11-89.

Look at that.

Next time I ask you a question,
just answer it in American, that's all.

Whoa. Kid had some cash.

Maybe he was a drug dealer.
What are those?

- Some kind of code books?
- Well, you got that right.

- Was our victim some kind of spy?
- It's worse. He was some kind of bookie.

- Well, Booth mostly broke the code.
- That's right.

Column 1 is initials and nicknames.

Beaver had approximately
50 regular clients.

Column 2 is the day of the week.

What is the significance of this sequence?

"Foot, bat, pig, dimple, fish."

Those are sports he took bets on.
Football, basketball, baseball, soccer, golf.

Beaver had over $2,000 in his suitcase.

This whole operation
generated $12,000 this year.

Wow. No wonder this kid did not want
to lose academic standing.

All right. Now, three of these people,

Zimmer, CC and 4x4,
they all owed him over three grand apiece.

Do you think that could be motive?

I bet those are the three guys
Sweets said were faking grief.

Yeah. That is worth looking into.

Okay, I found something else
in his computer.

A month ago, he hacked into
the university's computer system

and went straight
to the chemistry professor's secure server

and downloaded the exam.

This guy was a true entrepreneur.

Yeah. It was the third time
he hacked into the chemistry page.

Who was the professor?

- Professor Marlene Twardosh.
- Well...

Out of all the damages the victim's
remains suffered from the blunderbuss,

23 fractures, I discovered only three
that occurred before he died.

Do any of them offer us cause of death?

I think not. Both wrists sustained
compression fractures.

The right radius, the left ulna,

and significant chipping to both
the proximal and distal carpal rows,

and compression
of the lateral epicondyles.

Ouch. What about the third?

Compression fracture here, at the coccyx
and the apex of the sacrum.

These injuries appear to have
occurred at the same time.

He fell backwards, tried to break his
fall with his hands stretched behind him.

Dr. Hodgins had an idea of how to figure
out the height from which the victim fell.

Oh. This should be good.

The FBI is investigating student cheating?

Who says America undervalues education?

Did any of your students do
suspiciously well on your last exam?

Starting with James Bouvier.

Beaver has never done suspiciously
well at anything, Agent Booth.

He was about to be expelled,
because he failed my course.

Did he show any signs that
he wanted to do any better?

You mean begging for mercy
or offering bribes and sexual favors?

- That sort of thing?
- Do you use an estrogen cream?

No. I make do with the meager hormones
I produce naturally. Why?

Did you have sexual intercourse
with Beaver?

What are you...

- I was joking about the sexual favors.
- Also about the bribes?

My God, you people are humorless.

- Five students failed this exam.
- It was a tough exam.

They got exactly the same score. 37% .

- What are the chances of that?
- I teach chemistry.

You'll have to ask
Professor DeWitt in Statistics.

But the same five students did extremely
well on the two tests preceding this one.

Bones, what are you getting at?

I believe Professor Twardosh realized that

these students had stolen
her tests in the past.

And instead of informing the university,
she planted a fake test online.

- To turn her students in?
- No.

That would result in hearings and excuses
and tears. And parents. I hate parents.

Look, your college experience
was with professors.

Mine was with students and jocks.
What are you getting at here?

Well, I believe Professor Twardosh took
revenge against unethical students

- who had no respect for knowledge.
- And you approve?

Yes, I do. Beaver was obviously
an emerging criminal.

Thank you. I may need you to testify
at my termination hearing

when the university finds out.

Can I ask you one question?
What floor is your office on?

- The third floor.
- Over grass?

Over flagstones.

On my bad days, I consider jumping.
You're a forensic anthropologist, correct?

- Would it kill me?
- No, Professor Twardosh.

It would probably just break a few bones.

That's good to know.

So I checked out the nicknames
of the kids who owed Beaver money.

Are those the guys you picked out
as not being sad he was dead?

Yeah. You're walking pretty fast.

So any of those three frat guys
set off your psycho-killer alarm?

No, no, no. They display a fairly
banal mix of social awkwardness,

narcissism, inappropriate fantasies.
All within the normal range.

Even the ROTC guy?

Well, like most overachievers,
he displays a slight Oedipal neurosis.

Will you share with me
why you're so agitated?

You know what?
My brother Jared is ruining his life.

Oh. He's drinking again?

No, I'm pretty sure he was dried out
before his court-martial.

Then why the recent urge to self-destruct?

I set up a perfectly great
job interview for him.

But instead,
you know what he decides to do?

He wants to just travel across India
on his motorcycle.

Yeah, that's right. Talk about a narcissistic
dependence on stupidity.

- You or him?
- This is exactly why I don't talk to you

- about these kind of things.
- Okay. I'm gonna suggest

that you're jealous
of your brother's decision.

- I don't want to go to India.
- Well, you feel trapped here

by your responsible nature, your job,
your interpersonal relations.

- What?
- Whereas Jared is completely free.

I am free. I am free as a bird.
Free to do whatever I want.

Yeah. But what you're not free to do
is control your brother's life.

Control Jared? Good luck with that one.

Well, it's not for a lack of trying.

Of course, you could always
get a motorbike and go with him.

A motorbike? A motorbike is used
for people who deliver pizzas

in Amsterdam.

You know, India is large. It's vast.

Get a motorcycle. Right.

I'd get an American motorcycle.

This dummy is exactly the same weight
as the victim, correct?

69.853 kilograms, yes.

And why are we the only ones here?

Oh, I asked everyone to leave.

Okay, now I have installed four sensors
in the wrists and in the back of the spine.

So we should be able to gauge the height
from which the victim fell

to within a few centimeters
after only a few trials.

Why did you ask everyone to leave?

- Are we doing something shameful?
- No, it's just...

Last time I dropped something
from up there it bounced and injured

an innocent bystander.

But nobody's here this time, so...

Coccyx test number one.
Dr. Jack Hodgins supervising.

No. No, no, no.

- No. No, no. Stop.
- But... It...

This is an unnecessary experiment.

The height of the fall could be
calculated mathematically.

That is true.
But I decided to humor Dr. Hodgins,

so we could bond over a project.

- Why do you need to bond?
- He mistrusts Muslims.

Go grab a beer together.
But I am saying no to this experiment.

Yeah. I got that during the part where
you said no seven times in a row.

I find that you don't pay attention
to the first six.

Hey, he can't drink beer. He's Muslim!

All right.

Hodgins and Arastoo have an
estimate of how far the victim fell.

1.37 meters onto a hard surface.

- You know what this means, don't you?
- Yeah.

Dr. Brennan's gonna stare
at the bones until they speak to her.

So rock-paper-scissors to see
who stays to baby-sit her?

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Yes!
- Best two out of three.

Damn.

I'm keeping up, keeping up

with the time lapse lifeline

And they can run, they can run

from the farm to the last ride

And we can hear, we can hear

the first beat to the flat line

I'm keeping up, keeping up

with the time lapse lifeline

And once it's done

Oh, we dreamed a life

Cam?

Booth will want to know.
I found cause of death.

Well, all right.

Professor Twardosh was not
Beaver's sex partner.

Okay. Did anyone think that?
Honestly? Because I did not.

Booth believes that the cringe factor
was too high,

even though cringe factor is not
a valid mathematical construct.

Believe me, it is. Okay? So the three boys
that owe Beaver money all have alibis.

Four people bought the bogus exam from
Beaver. All members of the golf team.

At the time of his death, though, they
were at a tournament in North Carolina.

Great. So all we know now
is that golfers cheat a lot.

We know that Beaver was killed
by being stabbed in the chest.

Very small hole. Perhaps an ice pick.

Punctured his aorta.
He bled to death internally.

We also know that shortly before he died,
he fell backward 1.37 meters,

fracturing his wrists and his coccyx.

Okay. So he was stabbed and he fell
backwards. That makes sense.

Something's bothering me about this.

I went through that kid's computer.
And there's absolutely no indication

that he had the skill to hack into
the university's secure server.

Yeah, well, he probably got his
fraternity brothers to hack in for him.

Well, Mr. Vaziri and I will figure out
exactly what weapon killed Beaver.

- Right.
- Well, what are you going to do?

- Something personal.
- What?

Personal. Personal means personal,
you know? Not for the public.

Well, I'm... I'm not the public.

You know the roads suck in India
when they're dry, right?

And they turn into rivers
when the monsoons come.

I'll tell you what.
The trucks don't even give way to anyone.

Will you give the lifeguard thing a rest,
Seeley? All right?

The State Department has advised that

there is a heightened security concern

for anyone traveling alone in India.

Then come with me. I mean, that way
you can watch over me every minute.

You know, everywhere you've gone
you've always had the full might

of the United States government
behind you.

Yeah, I know. I know.
You were a frontline guy,

a fire eater.
And I was just some rear-echelon wimp.

- I never said that.
- If you're so worried, come along.

Then I'll have the full might
of Seeley Booth behind me.

Seriously?

- I didn't think you were serious.
- I wasn't when I said it.

But now I am. Yeah. I'm serious.

You want me to come to India with you?

Ball's in your court, brother.

I'm a freshman pledge. Beaver was kind
of like my mentor in the fraternity.

When Beaver, your mentor, asked you to
hack into Professor Twardosh's files

to steal tests, what did you think?

At first I said no.

- But you know what?
- Beaver was your brother.

That's right. He was a brother
who was on academic probation.

I mean, he was going to get expelled
if he didn't pass the chem course.

Plus, I know it may not have looked like it
from the outside,

but Beaver was a great guy.
So I had to help him.

Our computer expert said that some info
was erased from Beaver's hard drive.

Erased by someone
who knew what they were doing.

That was me, too.
JPEG files, I think about 30 of them.

- Digital photographs?
- Yeah.

I didn't see any of them.
But before I permanently deleted them,

Beaver had asked me to put four specific
ones onto a USB drive, so I did.

Look, I told you everything. Okay?

But if my college finds out that
I hacked into the chem test,

they're gonna kick me to the curb, okay?
They don't care about brothers.

Well, I care about brothers
who are great guys, Eli.

But more importantly, I report to the FBI,
not Middlesex College.

Thanks.

- Hey, what do you got?
- We found the hacker.

Who told Sweets he put some very
sensitive images on a USB for Beaver.

A damaged USB drive
was amongst the shrapnel

that Mr. Vaziri removed from the remains.

There are four JPEG files on this drive.

And two of them are total goners.
But here's what I got from number three.

Concentrate. That looks like a face.

- Yeah, that's Beaver.
- Is he being tortured?

- Not exactly.
- Yeah, that's a sex face, Bones.

Can you pull up anything else
and see who he's with?

No. But this one's almost done.

- Whoa.
- Is that a cougar?

- She could be in her 40s.
- Okay, print it.

Let's see which member
of the faculty this one is.

There is no accelerated compression
of the bone around the wound.

So the shaft of the weapon
was uniform in thickness.

If there were no lip on the outside,

then we'd know it was a projectile
that caused the wound.

Yes, a one-way trip, so to speak.

But since there was a lip, we know
it was a return trip for the weapon,

into the aorta and back.
As the weapon entered,

it was going substantially faster
than when it was withdrawn.

A shaft of consistent width.

Someone hammered a nail into the victim
and then pulled it out?

No. Not hammered, Mr. Vaziri. Shot.

- A nail gun.
- A nail gun.

Recognize this woman, Dean Warner?

Yes, I know this woman.

- Where'd you get the photo?
- Off the victim's computer.

Who is she?

Her name is Meredith Warner.
She's my wife.

We've been trying to track down
your wife, and guess what?

It's been a week since anyone saw her.

You think I killed my wife
and James Bouvier?

- Have you seen the photographs before?
- It was just over a week ago.

Which is when I suggested to Meredith
that it was a good time for her

- to visit her sister in Toronto.
- Why was it a good time?

Because the boy threatened to put
the photos of them together

all over the Internet
if I didn't let him stay in school.

Beaver failed his chemistry test.
You were going to expel him.

Yeah. I declined to be blackmailed.

Did the photos ever appear
on the Internet?

- They did not.
- Is that because you killed Beaver?

I have nothing more to say to you
except that I did not kill the boy.

I'm even a little sorry that he's dead.

So either arrest me and let me
call my lawyer or let me go.

Okay. Vernon Warner, I am placing you

under arrest for the murder
of James Bouvier.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

You have the right to remain silent.

It doesn't make sense. I mean, logically,
I mean. It doesn't make sense.

- Yeah, I know.
- What? The dean kills the kid

with a nail gun and then places him in the
mascot costume that's full of leftovers?

- I know. It doesn't make sense.
- No. That's what I said.

Exactly. That's what I'm saying, too.
It doesn't make sense.

- Why did you arrest him?
- He pissed me off, you know?

Instead of helping us,
he starts screaming for a lawyer.

Jared wants me to go to India with him.

- Indiana?
- India, okay?

Taj Mahal, cows, tigers, cobras,
Slumdog Millionaire?

I know. Are you going?

- We don't like each other.
- So, not going?

But, I mean, he's my brother, so I love him.

I'm confused. You are going?

I mean, Jared should not go to India alone.
He'll get into all kinds of trouble.

You said he's never been alone.

Exactly. You know what?
He'll get eaten alive.

Well, if you go with him,
then he won't be alone.

You won't let him be bad and his frontal
lobe will always be the size of a raisin.

Well, that's what you said.
It makes no scientific sense.

Yeah, you said. Got it.

I did an inventory of the nails found
in the victim's body. There were 36.

Arastoo, we know the nail that pierced
the aorta was pulled out of the victim.

Yes. But I thought perhaps
the killer didn't throw it away.

Perhaps he simply left it on the body.
One never knows.

One never does.

I examined the nails
very carefully for marks

that would confirm
it was shot from a nail gun.

A nail gun leaves distinctive marks.

Not from the hammering mechanism,
you understand.

- But from the reloading mechanism.
- Why are you telling me this?

Well, Dr. Brennan said to be especially

polite to you
when the science was difficult.

How stupid do you people think I am?

- Booth?
- Yeah?

Do you recognize this nail?

Whoa.

What?

She's the one you want.

Beaver came up to me.
I was working on the float.

- He was always hitting on me.
- You didn't like Jimmy?

Not in that way, you know?

Why did you shoot Beaver
with the nail gun?

Look, everybody went for a coffee,
I stayed.

Beaver must've been waiting
because he shows up and he's all,

"Come on, everybody thinks we're doing it.
You might as well make it official."

And I'd been up all night. All night, right?

Working.

So he moves in closer and sticks his
tongue right in my mouth. That's assault.

Right. That is assault.

You're right. That's assault. Go on.

And you know, I've got this nail gun.
And I just pulled the trigger.

And Beaver falls off the float

onto his back. And he's hurt.

He's hurt with this nail
sticking out of his chest.

And he says, "Pull it out. Pull it out."

And I say to him, "I've seen on TV, things
like this, you leave it in. Leave it in."

- But he pulls it out himself.
- You're right. And he dies.

Everybody believed that
we were sleeping together.

Maybe they would believe I killed him.

So I put his body in the mascot

uniform before anyone came back.

I have to admit I'm impressed
that you picked her out of the crowd.

- How did you do it?
- You're not gonna believe me anyway.

You're just gonna say I guessed.
So have it your way. I guessed.

No. I don't think you're serious.

I'd like to know what you saw.

Thank you so much.

- Okay.
- I know. It was great, right?

- You're not coming, are you?
- Do you really want me to?

Does it matter?

You know, I was going to. I really was.
But I think you should go alone.

You think it's a good idea
for me to go to India?

Yeah, I do. Alone.

Our whole lives, as kids,
I was always standing behind you.

Or you had the Navy standing behind you.

But this time, you know,
I think you should stand alone.

You don't need your big brother. Thanks.

- So? Come as a friend.
- We both know I'm not your friend.

I'm your big brother.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. Right.

Right, so I got you something.

It's Grandpa's
St. Christopher medal.

No, no. It's a new one. I got you that.

Seeley, it looks like the one
Grandpa gave you.

No. Grandpa gave me mine
when I was shipped out to the Rangers.

This one I'm giving to you.
The patron saint of travelers.

Kept me safe in Somalia. Let's hope
it does the same for you in India.

You know, wear it around your neck.

I don't know, man.
Am I alone if I take a saint with me?

You're not alone.

All right.

Hey.

- Thanks.
- Hey. Take your jacket.

- Make it the same way?
- Yeah, thanks.

Also, can I get a blended...

- How did he take it?
- Like Jared. Meaning I have no idea.

So do you...

Do you really think
you have to be bad to be good?

Yeah, I do.

Hmm.

Well, I've never done anything bad.

- I believe you.
- I mean, I've made mistakes, of course.

But I've never purposely
done anything bad.

- And I believe you.
- I don't want my frontal lobe

to be a dried-up raisin.

You know what?
We are gonna do something bad now.

- What?
- Have you ever dined and dashed?

- You know the concept, right?
- No.

We're gonna run out of here
without paying the bill.

No, that... That's stealing.

- That's why they call it bad.
- Booth, no.

- We're doing something bad. You ready?
- No, no. I can't. You mean, really?

- No. Are you serious?
- Come on. One,

- two...
- No. Oh, my God. Are you serious?

- Go. Go, go, go, go, go.
- No! Oh, my God! We're bad!

We're bad!

I can't believe we pulled that off.

- Get in the car.
- I can do that.
