All language subtitles for Bones S05E18 The Predator In The Pool

On Tuesday morning, a dead tiger shark
washed up on Rehoboth Beach.

Its stomach contained
the undigested remains of a human leg.

Ouch.

- What's wrong?
- That's gotta hurt.

A seasoned law enforcement
agent who still has empathy for a victim.

I'm glad to know you're out there.

At your service.

Dr. Bryar, who is from
the National Atmos-Ocean Association,

called us this morning.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.

Well, Andrew was joking.
He likes to put people at ease.

It's a nice quality.

Yeah, well, everybody likes to laugh.
Except that guy.

Well, the weird thing is,

nobody reported a shark attack
anywhere along the Eastern Seaboard.

Do you think you can make
an identification from the leg?

I've seen Temperance ID a victim
from a single fingernail clipping.

But I've never done that.

Well, maybe not that.
But things like that, you know?

She's my partner.
I'm sure we could help you out.

I'd be grateful.

Yeah.

Yeah, I should go and clear out.

I'll let you do your thing.

Well, that was a speedy exit. Shall we?

The victim is likely male.

These shallow cuts and deep gouges,

in conjunction with location of recovery,
are likely indications of COD.

We, we need to count osteons
to determine age.

But the length of the tibia indicates
a height of between 5'0"and 5'6".

A short guy got bit by a shark?

Now, these look like
six-ridged dermal denticles.

That can't be. A tiger shark
doesn't have dermal denticles.

Then the victim encountered multiple
predators at the same time.

That is highly unlikely.

- Well, this simple, symmetrical bite.
- That's a tiger shark.

This is different.
Some kind of small, conical canine.

That's a red snapper.

Then this serrated bite.

Oh, my God. A hammerhead.

What? This sounds good.

Hammerheads are tropical.
It's unlikely you'd find one this far north.

Where's the nearest place
a tiger shark, a hammerhead,

and a red snapper could co-exist?

How about the aquarium?

You don't get to be
Deputy Director of the FBI

by just dressing well and kissing ass.

Okay, yeah, that's most of it.
But I'm probably right about the aquarium.

According to NOAA, this facility
focuses on marine rescue and preservation.

A rehabilitated tiger shark

was permanently released into the ocean
this Saturday.

Jaws grabs a quick snack
before heading back out into the wild?

Shark attacks are very rare.

I mean, look, sharks,
they don't even like to eat people.

- That's true. How do you know that?
- Shark Week, you know.

Where they do nothing
but make you afraid of sharks.

Wait. They have a week
set aside just for sharks?

Wow. Yeah. It's a TV thing.

- Agent Booth?
- Yes, Dr. Stoddard.

Marilyn. I work in
the animal husbandry department.

I'm Dr. Temperance Brennan
from the Jeffersonian.

Was someone eaten here this weekend?

- No.
- The tiger shark that you released

this past Saturday,
can you show us where you kept him?

Yeah, come right this way.

Since when do fish have husbands?

Animal husbandry
is the science of breeding livestock.

- Since when are fish livestock?
- Well, the term can be applied loosely.

This is the tropical reef tank,

where the tiger shark was kept
prior to release.

Originally, he required isolation.

But once he recovered,
we placed him in here

to see how he would interact
with the others.

- Recovered from what?
- His fin was nearly severed,

probably from a dragnet.

How'd he get on with the other fish?

- Just fine, as far as I can tell.
- You also have a hammerhead?

Yes, hiding somewhere.
This tank is over 600,000 gallons.

You can only see a portion from this side.

- It looks like an ocean in itself.
- It is.

But I'm pretty sure we would see evidence
if a human being had been eaten in there.

- Anyone missing?
- Employees, you mean?

Or guests? No.

- How about missing a leg?
- No.

I think we would notice
something like that.

Anything unusual?

The facilities department
lost an expensive filter.

There was a slight spike
in the ammonia levels,

but nothing out of the ordinary here.

Certainly, nothing close to a fatal accident.

Okay, now, who's gonna go in there
to get that?

Okay, you know what?
You don't have to go in, Bones.

Yes, I do. We need to recover
what's left of the victim

to have any hope of identification.

Okay, time out, okay. Have Hodgins do it.

I look like Richard Dreyfuss, don't I?

- "We're gonna need a bigger boat."
- No, we don't need a boat.

- Why are you wearing that hat?
- To keep his brain warm, okay.

Make Hodgins go in there and do it.

There is nothing to be afraid of, Booth.

Yeah, you know, sharks,
they don't eat people.

Really? Tell that to the guy who got,
you know, coughed up by a grouper, okay.

Okay, who's going in?

You guys know what you're doing, right?
It isn't a swim in a fish tank.

- Isn't that exactly what it is?
- Yeah, a really big, cool one.

No, no. It's a recovery of a body

in the investigation
of a potential homicide, all right.

Any questions, you ask me, understand.
Keep your eyes on me.

- Gotcha.
- Ready?

Yes, I am.

Okay, Ben here will escort you to the tank.
Agent Booth, follow me.

You'll be able to communicate with
Dr. Brennan on our intercom system.

- All right, thank you.
- All right, good luck to you.

Bones? Bones, you there?

We're right here, Booth.

This is beautiful.

Hodgins, I'll get the skull.

You see if there's
any other bone particulates.

I have the interior aspect of the skull.

We call it a face, Booth.

Pipe down there, pal.

Hodgins, over here.

Look!

- Hi.
- Hi.

I thought I would stop by and see
if you'd made any progress today.

Oh, yeah. Dr. Brennan,
she's still working on the identification.

- Wow.
- It's what we do.

- Do you mind if I ask you a question?
- Sure.

Come on in. This is my office.

It's very nice.

- Yeah, right.
- Yeah.

I was wondering
if you wanted to go out sometime?

Maybe this weekend?

Unless, of course, I'm a suspect.

'Cause I know you can't date me
if I'm a suspect, right?

- I can't date anyone who's a suspect.
- I understand.

Yeah, right, it's FBI, rules, regulations.

Yeah.

But, you know, when we're done with you,
I can give you a call,

and you can go out with me
or I can go out with you.

- How about both?
- Hey, look at that.

Well, I'm looking forward
to not being a suspect.

I am, too.

Let me know if you hear anything more
about the identification.

Yeah, yeah, I will.

All right.

- Bye.
- Bye.

The pelvis verifies
the osteon count.

He was between the ages of 30 and 34.

The fusion of the vertebrae could indicate
an injury to the spinal cord.

Huh. Anything off the spectroscope?

Yes, the distal tibia from the leg
we found originally,

it confirms the presence
of perimortem bruising.

When the shark attacked the victim,
he was still alive?

Yes. Take a look right here.

I found a cleft fracture
of the styloid process.

Probably blunt force to the throat.

And here, several multi-directional grooves

along the glabella and supraorbital ridge.

The victim was stabbed in the eye?

Varying degrees of force may suggest

that someone tried to stab the victim
in the face with a narrow sharp object.

Okay, well, that makes this
an official homicide.

The victim was assaulted,
and then dumped into the tank alive

as a means of disposal.

I think I know when it happened.

Meet diploria labyrinthiformis,

better known as the groovy,
grooved brain coral

native to the Caribbean,
Bermuda and Bahamas.

Why is it here?

Coral skeletons accrete tiny crystals
of calcium carbonate at night.

So for us, this provides
a timeline similar to tree rings.

Coral can tell us what was in the water
and when it got there.

- If you have a year to wait.
- No, that is the beauty.

Because of the rapid nature of the growth,
the timeline is condensed.

- How specific is it?
- Within hours.

Now, a spike in ammonia and nitrate levels
found within the coral skeleton

tells us that something died in that tank
on Friday night,

between midnight and 6:00 a.m.

Something big, like human being big.

These here are the 28 people
we know who were at the aquarium,

Saturday morning, between the hours
of midnight and 6:00 a.m.

Most of them are employees
and security guards.

- Are all of them still alive?
- Well, we're working on that right now.

- Booth.
- This NOAA thing

is turning into a full-fledged investigation.

Who is that?

- It's Hacker.
- Oh, tell Andrew I said hi.

Bones says hello.

Hello. Tell her I'm really looking forward
to our date.

Did you two wanna speak to each other,

or is there something
that you wanted to tell me, sir?

I called 'cause I got a heads up
on your missing person.

Yeah. Okay. Wow.

Gotcha.

What did he say?

Well, he's looking forward to our date.

- Your date.
- So am I.

He e-mailed me and said
he had tickets to a play.

He e-mailed you for a play?

I believe that "play"
is Andrew's code for sex.

Is it okay for us to talk like this?

- Yeah.
- Well,

when he invited me to the play,

I thought it was a code for sex.
So I said no.

But I said yes to coffee.

Maybe that's a code.

Angela informed me
that "coffee" isn't a code for anything.

Huh.

I have a date, too.

- Good.
- Catherine Bryar.

Everyone at the aquarium is a suspect.

And once she's eliminated
as a person of interest...

- Why did Andrew call?
- Oh.

Number 19 on our list is not accounted for.

- Jazz Gunn?
- Yeah.

What a ludicrous name.

You don't know who that is?

My name is Jazz Gunn,
and I have a secret to tell you.

In the simplest terms,
the terrestrial world we live in

mirrors the underwater world
you see right here.

Same rules that govern the sea

also govern the sea of life.

Jazz Gunn is your average,
and I do mean average, self-help guru.

His half-baked theory

is based on nothing more
than the concept of natural selection.

But his Sea of Life seminars are packed.

The shape of his skull
is consistent with that of the victim.

I have never heard of him.

I've heard of him.
He spent Friday night

getting ready to prepare for this
big speech that he was supposed to give

this morning at the aquarium
and he never showed up.

He said that he had a car accident in '93
that left him unable to walk.

But after he swam in the sea
off the coast of Brazil,

he was cured.

What, like a miracle?

- Like this power of positive thinking?
- It's preposterous.

He swam with sharks.

He said that by forcing himself
to face his atavistic fears,

he gained the strength to fight back.

That's the whole theory behind
the Sea of Life.

So now this guy, what,
he gets paid 100 bucks a pop

to talk about that in front of fish tanks?

Let's begin with life lesson number one,
"Eat or be eaten."

What if your friends and neighbors
tried to eat you?

Look at this guy.
His name is Tad Benedict.

Benedict used to be Jazz's assistant.
But now Jazz does it solo.

They had a widely publicized falling out.

What does he have in his hand?

- Uh, that's a pen.
- That looks like a metal stylus.

The victim was stabbed
with a small, sharp object.

Theodore Benedict. He's on our list

of people that were there at the aquarium
Friday night.

Maybe Jazz hired him back.

Or maybe he just showed up on his own
with a chip on his shoulder.

And a pointy pointer in his hand.

Or, like life lesson number one,

"Eat or be eaten."

Tad, is it?

Yeah. No, I can't believe this happened.

Who would wanna kill Jazz?
People love him.

Well, the easy answer is you.

You worked for him three years ago?

Off and on, starting three years ago, yeah.

Let's forget about the "on," all right.
Let's just focus on the "off."

Says here you were dismissed
after an argument over compensation.

I wanted a share of the profits.

I felt like I did a lot of work
and he made all the money.

I couldn't think of a clearer motive, you?

Come on. Do I look like I could do that?

No. But, you know, I've seen the video.
Jazz is about, what, 5'4"?

And you, the way you were wielding
that little crazy pen around of yours

that you had, it's pretty fierce.

You do know that
that fight was all over, right?

Yeah, he called me a couple months ago
when he oversold a seminar in Santa Fe.

He needed help and apologized.

I needed the job, so I went back to work.

- Does he pay you?
- I get a percentage

after each seminar, just like I asked.

And he took me and my wife
to Aspen for Christmas.

I more than forgave him.

You wanna know what I think,
Agent Booth?

Sure.

Jazz loved the sea.

He wanted to swim in that big tank
at the aquarium.

He told me.

Is this a live feed of the tropical reef tank
at the aquarium?

Yep, with an interactive interface
I implemented myself.

Check this out. Click on this guy,

the program has an index
that catalogues anything organic.

- This is incredible, Angela. May I try?
- Yeah.

Look what I found in the filter
from the aquarium.

It's a five-inch piece
of tanned putrescible animal rawhide.

- From a fish?
- From a wallet.

Well, if you go into a fish tank willingly,

- you remove your wallet, right?
- Yeah.

Oh, wow.

You should leave this up. It's beautiful.

Peaceful. Pure.

It's kind of scary though, right?

- I like scary.
- Yeah, so do I.

Clark is trying to determine what sort
of weapon the killer may have used

when stabbing at the victim's face.

Hodgins, please keep me posted
about what you find in the filter.

Uh-huh.

Did you have time
to examine the grooves?

I did.

- Syringe?
- Taking a closer look,

I could see some of the deeper grooves
had a faint semi-circular ridge

near the point of contact.

I thought it'd be consistent
with the hub of a hypodermic needle.

In terms of diameter,
14 gauge would be about right.

But there are no matching grooves
on the styloid process.

No, that injury is simple, blunt force.

But if the victim was stabbed
with a hypodermic needle,

something may have been injected.

It's hard to tell
with the body being submerged.

And I can't find
the perfect needle to match, either.

Maybe I can.

Excuse me. We're back.

I see that. Can I help you with something?

Why's she using that tone?

She just doesn't like being
pinned as a murder suspect.

I can deal with that. What I don't like

is having every piece of information
I give you double-checked.

What can I do for you?

Well, we wanna take a look
at your hypodermic needles.

- All right. What sort of needles?
- Bones.

14 gauge, with a round hub

- and a blunted tip.
- Exactly.

We don't carry anything like that.

Okay, anything similar?

I realize you need to double-check,
so please, go right ahead.

I also need to know who had access to it
the night the victim died.

I wasn't back here that night.

What's wrong with these angelfish?

They've been listless the past few days.

Most likely due
to something they ingested.

Or someone.

We should take these fish back to the lab.

No, you can't!
These are a gift from Morocco.

They need to be tested for trace evidence
in a murder investigation.

We'll get them back to you. Don't worry.

I may or may not get them back to you.

Wait, you just said that
you weren't here that night.

- You already said that you were.
- Not in this area.

I mean, no one was back here
after midnight.

I was out in the lobby
helping with the kids.

Kids? What kids?

Our education department hosts field trips
for local elementary students.

I was helping the teacher.

I teach fourth grade.

My students are mostly
nine- and ten-year-olds.

We usually do
the Natural History Museum.

And I thought we'd try something new,
so we tried the aquarium.

Wow, 36 kids overnight.
That's very brave of you.

Well, kids that age, when they fall asleep,
they're like little corpses.

- Did you have any help?
- Yes.

Four mothers. And they're
the same four mothers who do everything.

- I can give you their names.
- That'll be great. Thanks.

Where did you sleep?

In sleeping bags on the floor, in the lobby.

The aquarium people left the lights on
in the big tank until midnight.

It was beautiful.

I'm just wondering, how is it that

so many people can spend the night
in front of a tank

and not see a man being eaten by sharks?

When they turned the lights off,
it was dark.

Yeah.

Agent Booth, believe me,
if one of those kids had seen anything,

they would all know about it by now.

- Why?
- First of all, they're blabbermouths.

And second, they were all issued
these disposable cameras.

And they take pictures of everything.

- Everything?
- Everything.

Just tell me if any of these kids
is a killer.

Well, now, it's pretty tough
to tell your average nine-year-old

from your average psychopath.

Don't say that. I have a kid nearly that age.

Children are still forming
their sense of ethics at this age.

Like I said, they're basically sociopaths.

It's true.

Hey. Aw, thanks, Lucy.
Your photos will be returned

after they're developed
and perused for the investigation.

But what about the contest?

We told the kids it was a photo contest.

- Oh, that's good.
- Yeah.

To spare them the trauma
of the murder. Good idea.

- Murder?
- No, no. No, no, no.

No, no, no. Photo contest.
First prize, amusement park.

- No one said murder.
- First place

goes to an amusement park. Go ahead.

- Sorry.
- I saved you.

- I know.
- You can thank me for saving you later.

- Next.
- Sorry.

So I'm looking for evidence
of shark attack and murder,

while simultaneously judging
a photo contest?

You possess the necessary
overlapping skills.

Well, between 36 disposables
and 10 cell phone cameras,

we've got quite a selection here.

Ew!

So, you said that "coffee"
isn't code for anything, right?

Sweetie, I think you need to stop
worrying about sex codes.

Hacker is a very upfront guy,
who is also extremely politically savvy.

Talk about strange overlapping skills, huh?

- I don't know what that means.
- Hacker is very sophisticated in his job,

but he's much more transparent
in his personal life.

- Does that sound like anybody you know?
- Me?

So you mean we're compatible?

Well, you know who I think
you belong with.

I don't belong with anyone, Angela.
Do you?

Well, I'm grappling
with those same issues.

So, yes, go have coffee with Hacker.

And if it goes well, then maybe
you guys can graduate to lunch.

- Wait, what should I wear?
- Clothing.

- Look at this.
- Let me see that one.

Let me see if I can scan this.

- Well, it's definitely a person.
- That's not our victim.

The proportions are wrong.

But no one was supposed to be back there.

At 2:38 a.m.

Hodgins said
that the victim died in the tank

between midnight and 6:00 a.m.

So this could definitely be our killer.

Oh, that is the most unpleasant smell.

Angelfish smoothie?

Man, you killed the Moroccan angelfish?

No. No, I did not. They died on their own.

- Only afterwards did I puree them.
- Oh, I really hope you can prove that.

Those aquarium people love their fish.

Don't worry.
The angelfish died from a generic,

organic protein-based neurotoxin

that's found in lots of different
yummy places,

like the flagellum of bacteria.

What, did they absorb it
through their gills?

I think they ingested it.

- By snacking on our victim?
- No, no.

This neurotoxin is not strong enough
to kill a fully grown human male.

Wait, what if it was injected
through his eye?

You know, more than once?

Well, it'd be disorienting.
As would any injection into the eye.

Perhaps Dr. Saroyan can find traces
in what's left of the body. Thank you.

- Hey, Clark.
- Yeah?

I feel I should warn you,
Angela and Wendell, they broke up.

I'm sorry, what's that gotta do with me?

She may be in the market for a new intern.

Okay, okay, okay.

Listen, I'm gonna break
my cardinal rule for you

and offer some good advice. Don't do that.

Do what?

Channel your own frustrations
into snide allusions.

Oh.

Snide's a strong word.

Um, I found this for you.
It was in the vacuum.

It looks like an enterolith.

In cats, you would call it a hairball.

Now in this, I see some bone fragments
within its composition.

- Well, take it. It's all yours.
- Thanks.

Clark?

What is it now, Dr. Hodgins?

Thank you for breaking your cardinal rule.

I'll take what you said under advisement.

Good.

Just know that I really don't need to know
the outcome.

Why can't you just lighten up
the guy's face and, you know, zoom in?

Because it was a cell phone camera
that was aimed by a child.

The Plexiglas at this point is a foot thick.

- And 30 feet of water.
- At night.

I was just asking.

Okay, so I used some warping software
to reverse the direction of the distortion

that was caused by the waves
in the surface of the water.

Then I lit it up.
But this is the best that I can do.

Okay, well, we'll print that up
and get it to Booth.

- I know this man.
- You do?

Yes, his name is Ben.
I saw him working at the aquarium.

- Are you sure?
- Absolutely.

So why didn't you clock in, Ben?

- Probably 'cause I wasn't working.
- Really.

Okay, there you go.

You see? And on top of it,
we have photographic evidence

that shows that you were.

Wow. Right. That night.

Right, that night.
Just a routine night at the aquarium.

A man gets murdered
and then he gets fed to the sharks.

I wasn't supposed to work that night,
but I switched shifts.

I didn't clock in using my own card.
That happens.

Doesn't matter.
The fact is, you were there.

So let's start this
all over again, shall we? Okay.

Here's a check made out to you.
Ben Marcus. That's you, right?

For $10,000, deposited
the day after the murder.

- I can explain that.
- Signed by one Dimitri Vladov.

Oh, man. Okay.

This looks bad
'cause he's a big Russian mobster type.

Hello! Of course it looks bad!
It's made out to you for $10,000.

For what?

It's not what you think, but if I tell you,

Vladov will kill me.

Okay, I want a lawyer.
I'm not saying anything else.

I'll just go ask Vlad.

Do you think you could
leave my name out of it?

- No?
- No.

- Dimitri Vladov?
- Yeah.

Vladov the Impaler paid for a hit
with a check?

Yeah, well, I mean,
why would Vladov hire an amateur?

Pay by check? That's not a good sign
for law enforcement.

It's not a good sign for culture as a whole.

You know what we ought to do,
pool our money together

and buy a buffalo ranch in Alberta.

Wait. Sorry, sir,
why do I feel like you're stalling

- so I don't talk to this guy?
- I am stalling, yes.

- Why?
- Why go out on a limb

when you know it's gonna break?

Vladov's under surveillance
by about five federal agencies,

- and nothing ever happens.
- So, how does he get away with it?

- What's the Russian word for "Teflon?"
- I don't know. Teflonistan.

Vladov has been brought up on 50 charges.

Everything from homicide,
RICO, prostitution...

They've been smuggling
counterfeit vodka for years.

He has a brilliant trick
to keep himself out of prison.

- What's that?
- He denies doing it.

It's gotten to the point
when he denies something,

it's his way of saying yes.

Yeah, well, I'm not afraid
to bring this guy in.

You should be.
If you value your pension, you should be.

Okay, well, I'm not.
Even when you sound like Yoda.

You want me with you
when you talk to him?

- Why?
- Vladov the Impaler.

The nickname is self-explanatory.

- I can handle it.
- Good.

But I truly hope that you don't end up
getting eaten by sharks

because your successes
have done wonders for my career.

This looks like your friendly
neighborhood gill raker.

What's that?

That? That would be your friendly
neighborhood gum wrapper.

That's Booth.

- Hello, Booth.
- Yeah, Bones, listen,

you gotta help me.
I got a hot lead and a funny feeling.

I don't understand the juxtaposition.

All right, listen. I just need a really strong,
really compelling piece of evidence.

Usually all you say you need
is your gun and your wits.

Well, I've to come to depend
on your wits, too.

What kind of proof do you need?

Look, I need something that links
a Russian mobster

to a self-improvement guru
who gives speeches in front of fish tanks.

I'm currently witless.

This is the Russian mobster
who smuggles booze?

Yeah, well, that's the nicest thing he does.

Hello? Is somebody
doing something there?

Hodgins is doing a demonstration
in his beaker.

It's a fact that Russian "businessmen"
add blue dye

to tankers of clear alcohol
and import it as glass cleaner,

thus avoiding the high tariff on booze.

Now, once it gets to the States,
they need to remove the dye

so that they can bottle the booze as vodka.
The only way to do that

is from a reverse osmosis filter.

Okay, you know what?
I got "filter" out of that.

Marilyn at the aquarium
told us that they're missing a filter.

The mob can't go buy a filter?

This one is special.
It's really huge and extra good.

- See?
- No, I don't see. I'm in another place.

I'm driving a car.

Well, if you were here,
you'd be very impressed.

Our victim witnesses a filter theft
and gets killed for it?

Hit him with the filter, Booth.
That's your connection.

Hodgins means metaphorically, Booth.

If you hit a Russian mobster with an actual
filter, he'd probably just impale you.

All right, well, that's great.
Thanks for the tip.

Mr. Vladov, could you please
describe your line of work?

For the purposes of this conversation,
importing and exporting.

Mostly glass cleaner.

- What's that, 80 proof?
- Agent Booth,

you know what you know, fine.

But what we're talking about here
is different.

How about you tell me
what it is you think I did?

Then I tell you I did not do these things,
and we part ways amicably?

Do you know a motivational speaker
by the name of Jazz Gunn?

No, it's a silly name.

How about Ben Marcus?

Works at the Aquarium of the Atlantic.

I even more vehemently
deny knowing this person.

Did you hire Ben Marcus
to steal a filter from the giant tank?

I deny this categorically.

That your check?

That's your name.
Right there. Dimitri Vladov.

And that's your signature right there.

The check was written out to a man

who was photographed
at the scene of a murder.

He cashed it the next day.

- No. That is not my check.
- Yes, it is. It's your check.

- No, it is not.
- You know, it's illegal

to provide false information
that may impede a federal investigation.

I'm not aware of this, no.

Well, you're aware of it now,
'cause I'm telling you.

- Am I under arrest?
- I don't know, are you?

I like you, Agent Booth.

And I've told you everything I know
on this issue.

- You now owe me a favor.
- I owe you a favor?

- I don't owe you anything.
- Yes, you do.

No, I don't.

May I interest you
in our final selections from the filter?

Dorsal fin from a Foxface Rabbitfish.

I believe this is some sort of
sea turtle feces,

a rusty paper clip,

and the broken spine of a lionfish.
And that's all she wrote.

Throw in the embryonic cells
of a blue shark,

and the remains of a human vertebra.

Embryonic cells.

- I need to see your virtual aquarium.
- Yeah, sure.

- Is there a blue shark in this tank?
- I don't think so.

- No, no blue shark.
- Well, that's not possible.

How would those embryonic cells
get into the tank?

I mean, it's a closed system.

They weren't in the tank.
They were in the victim.

The embryonic cells of a blue shark
can be injected between the vertebra

to form an infrastructure matrix
that facilitates neural transmission.

It restores the spinal cord.

It was progressive surgery
that restored Jazz Gunn's ability to walk.

It had nothing to do
with his ridiculous theory.

- What a little liar.
- I have to tell Booth.

- There's a scientific explanation for this.
- Dr. Brennan.

You know what else
is missing from this tank?

Lionfish.

Looks like a 14 gauge.

Jazz Gunn was a liar.
He wasn't cured by swimming in Brazil.

He underwent experimental surgery.

Yeah, well, think of all the people
he misled.

- That's motive for murder, right there.
- Is this what you're looking for?

The edge of this tank is damaged.

It still holds water.
We're on a tight budget around here.

This explains the cleft fracture
on the victim's styloid process.

You lost me, Bones.

The lionfish protects itself
with venomous spines

containing the same neurotoxin
that stunned our victim prior to his death.

- So no hypodermic needle?
- No.

There were several spines
from one venomous fish,

all coming into contact
with the victim's face at the same time.

So this fish stabbed him in the eye?

- That is consistent with the wounds, yes.
- Is this the only lionfish you have here?

That's it. Pterois antennata. I call him Bob.

Bob!

Bob is our murder weapon.

The victim and the killer gained access
to the back area of the aquarium

before the door was locked.

Jazz saw the lionfish in quarantine.
This represents the quarantine tank.

Clark?

Jazz was all about facing his fears.

He saw one of the world's
most venomous fish

and was taking a look at it
from above the surface of the water,

when someone forcefully
pushed his head down into the tank,

causing a cleft fracture
of the styloid process.

We used to do that in junior high,
but we used a toilet.

- This man died of a lionfish swirly.
- Yeah.

Now, several of the venomous spines
penetrated the eye area.

A few broke and remained embedded.

Now, with the victim disoriented
and possibly unconscious,

it was very easy to drag him off
to the big tank nearby.

Unconscious underwater,
he was dead with his first breath.

And those fish tore him apart.

And that's where this poor nutcase's
theory actually holds true.

"Eat or be eaten."

Jazz Gunn flew to Brazil
every six months.

He had surgery at a special clinic
in a small town called Itamarac�.

That would be consistent

with the maintenance injections
required semi-annually,

although Itamarac�, Brazil,
is a long way to go to get them.

Well, you know,
he's gotta keep up the front,

tell everyone he's going
for another swim in the sea, right?

But guess who else
made a visit to Itamarac� this year?

So, Brazil's a pretty expensive vacation
for a school teacher?

I love to travel.

To the very same beach where Jazz Gunn
claimed to have been healed by the sea?

How many of his seminars did you attend?

The FBI will find out.

You said you didn't know
who Jazz Gunn was.

I went to nine of his seminars.

I have fibromyalgia.

And that bastard convinced me
that if I just faced my fears,

that magically,
all this pain would just disappear.

- He lied.
- So you brought

a group of fourth graders along
as an alibi for murder?

No, it was a coincidence.

He took me back
to see this poisonous fish.

"Come face your fears," he said.

Last thing he should've said to me
right then.

I'll tell you what, though, he might've
been on to something, that bastard.

Because ever since I shoved his lying face
into that poisonous fish,

I haven't felt any pain.

- I'm going to have coffee with Andrew.
- All right. Have a good time.

Thank you.

I'm going to see someone, too.

- Dr. Catherine Bryar.
- The case is closed.

She's very nice.
The two of you seem compatible.

Maybe, you know, we'll see.

She's easily as pretty as I am.
I mean, using me as a standard.

Well, Bones, you are the standard.

Andrew is not as handsome as you.

Using you as a standard.
He is, however, taller.

Catherine isn't as smart as I am.

Well, I'm not as smart as Hacker.

- What? You once said he was a doofus.
- He is a doofus. A smart doofus.

Well, I hope you have
a good time together.

Yeah, you, too.

Thanks.

There's only so much
you can say

Before it all just dissipates

You see, there's only so much you can say

God, I hope I'm one of those things

I hope you never leave

Leave me

You stole my breath

- I'm not late, am I?
- Not at all.

- I... We were catching a murderer.
- I heard.

Catching a murderer is the best excuse
for being late I've ever heard.

But you said I wasn't late.

I was putting you at ease.
It's one of my strengths.

That, and I can write longhand
perfectly in the dark.

Oh...

- Congratulations on solving the murder.
- Yes.

Now Booth can have sex with Dr. Bryar.

Because she was involved
in the investigation.

And the FBI does not allow socialization
with suspects or consultants.

And for a while, she was both.

Oh, my God.

Andrew, are you allowed
to see me socially?

Absolutely. I got clearance.

- From whom?
- From myself.

In fact, I not only granted permission,
I insisted that I see you socially.

That's funny because you're satirizing
bureaucratic rules

by adhering to the letter of the regulations

instead of the spirit of it.

Oh, you've got a great laugh. You do.
It's a Rat Pack laugh.

- I don't know what that means.
- You don't know about the Rat Pack?

That's awesome.

Why? The Rat Pack does not sound
like a good thing.

'Cause you will not be
able to resist the man

who showed you
that the Rat Pack is a good thing.

Okay.

Tell me the truth.

Did you think even for a second
that I might be the murderer?

No.

I may not know
who did commit the murder,

but I definitely know who didn't.

Yeah, yeah, I know. You're a scientist.

So that whole intuition thing
is just a load of crap, right?

I have an intuition about you.

- Really?
- Mmm-hmm.

It tells me that
you could use some company.

Oh. I could use some company? Really?

- Mmm-hmm.
- Hmm.

I make you laugh. You make me laugh.

You're gonna make me laugh?

Do you think
these diamonds earrings are real?

- I don't know.
- I could tell that they were real

the minute my ex gave them to me.

How so?

Because no one would buy
fake diamonds this small.

- All right.
- See.

So, give me a call
if you wanna have dinner sometime.

Hey, Catherine.

Wanna have dinner sometime?

Sure.

Contact with a friend

A long time but it's never quite the same

Angela and Hodgins
find the fish tank to be very romantic.

Mystery of the deep.
The great unknown.

It's a body of enclosed water filled with
aquatic, ectothermic vertebrates.

Not unknown at all, but pretty.

- Maybe that's what they like.
- Yeah.

That's probably what it is.
I bet that's what it is.

So, your date, how was that?

Oh, quite enjoyable.
Andrew is charming and very funny.

I can see. You're still smiling.

What about you and Catherine?
Did you have a good time?

Yeah. Yeah. We laughed a lot.

Felt good. I'm gonna see her again.

Excellent.

- You deserve a good woman, Booth.
- So do you, Bones.

I mean, not a woman, but...
You know what I meant.

- I know.
- Yeah.

So, what did you laugh about?

- Just something about her earrings.
- She wore amusing earrings?

No, she said that they were a gift,
and she knew that they were real

'cause no one would
buy fake diamonds that small.

They might if they were on a tight budget.

No, no. It's...

You know what, it doesn't matter.
Never mind. You had to be there.

Andrew is going to introduce me
to a Rat Pack.

He was very excited about it.
They must be extraordinary rodents.

Yeah. Talented, too.

- Do you know them?
- Mmm-hmm.
