All language subtitles for Bones S08E24 The Secret in the Siege

Previously on Bones...

I'm not a criminal.
I'm a hacktivist.

Christopher Pelant:

socially marginalized,

I.Q. off the charts...

He's not a hacker anymore.
Now he's a murderer.

First victim was
Carol Morissey.

Next, it was Inger Johannsen
and Ezra Krane.

Then we have Ethan Sawyer.
He's escalating.

Pelant is targeting us,

we have to hit him back now,

before one of us is dead.

That big brain of yours

isn't much help now, hmm?

Pelant is still out there.

We're still waiting for him
to make the next move.

♪

Well, they were out of jerky.

Okay, look, how come
they're only out of jerky

when you go shopping?

Luck, I guess.
Mm-hmm.

You know, you do realize
I know that you're lying.

Right?
I know.

Oh! Look at this!
Come on, sweet.

"Kalo the Hula
Goddess," huh?

Mom and Reggie got this for us

on their trip from Hawaii,
on their honeymoon.

There's no Goddess Kalo

in the Hawaiian
pantheon of gods.

Hula. Kalo the hula goddess.

It says so right here
on the lamp.

Don't look at her
like that, okay?

You can have my jerky,
but you're not getting Kalo.

Mm, they sent a picture.

They look really happy.

Marriage is starting
to look good on you.

No, I am not going
to propose to you,

if that's what you're thinking.

Admittedly, that moment
looks good, but...

nobody can guarantee how they're
gonna to feel about someone

ten years from now.
Oh.

So you don't know

how you're going to feel
about me in ten years? Really?

Recent research suggests
that cycles of attraction

might run as few as four years--

just long enough to raise
a child through infancy.

Okay, then why did you,
uh, catch the bouquet

at my mother's wedding?
It was reflexive.

Okay, you know what
Sweets would say?

He would say that it proves

that there's an unconscious
desire to get married.

No.

I love you, Booth.

All right.
Isn't that enough?

Yeah, it's enough.

But you know what?
You never were

good at catch before.
What-what...?

You didn't warn me!

I'm usually good at that.
Oh, hold on.

Booth.

Yeah, she's right here.

Where?

Okay. We're on our way.

Rangers found a body
at Hamilton State Park.

You try catching that.
That?

That's 'cause I...
I gave you a good throw.

Come on, face it.

Normally, you can't catch
to save your life.

No, that is not true.
Uh, thank you.

I have excellent
hand-eye coordination.

If I didn't, I wouldn't be able
to reassemble human skeletons.

Come on.

Bones always go back
in the same place.

Well, just try me again.
I'll show you.

Well, there's no
bouquets around here.

Very funny.
Yeah. Okay.

So, what do we got?

The trail's been closed
for two months.

It just reopened today.
That's when the rangers

saw the remains.

Wow. Looks like he's
en here for a while.

Animal scavenging
is the reason why

most of the tissue is gone.

Based on the size
of the blowfly larvae,

I'd say our victim's
only been dead about five days.

Projectile trauma to
the base of the occipital.

His face was blown off.
Multiple gunshots.

Okay, I think we're safe
calling this one a murder.

Gonial angle of the mandible
indicates the victim was male.

The wear on his teeth shows
that he was in his mid-50s.

Caucasian, from the shape
of the palate.

At least one shot was taken
at the picnic table.

Blood soaked into the wood,
and we found a slug.

That makes me rethink the picnic
Angie and I were planning.

Okay, the gunman approaches
the victim,

he takes a shot,
the victim runs away,

the gunman keeps shooting
until the guy's dead.

It's real simple, guys.

I'm not sure
how necessary

all these other shots were.

He would have died instantly
from this one.

Well, whoever did this
knew what they were doing.

I hate dealing with hit men.

Got another one.

That brings us up
to seven so far.

You think there was
more than one shooter?

Idle speculation
until the bones are clean.

There's another entry point

on the left iliac crest.

His pelvis and
the right fourth rib

show other gunshot injuries,
remodeled, probably

- eight to ten years old.
- So...

this isn't the first time he's
been used for target practice.

Maybe someone's just finishing
off what they started

ten years ago.

Talk about a grudge.

I'm gonna start
a facial reconstruction.

Eight.

He was shot 12 times;
ballistics said the killer

used a USP nine millimeter.

That's a weapon of choice
for a pro.

There's no evidence the victim
was eating at the picnic table,

which means he was probably
lured there somehow.

It's just...

What?

Okay, Dr. Brennan said

the kill shot was delivered
at the picnic table, right?

Yeah.

So the victim didn't run.

So you're saying that
he was left there,

knowing that we would find him.

Pelant?

I did a paper on pathological
narcissism for my doctorate.

Now, it focused on
the killer's need

to display his handiwork.

It's-it's a mixture of pride

and a need for attention.
Pelant.

It's been a while
since I read it,

so I need to take a look,
but some of

the details of this body find
seem very familiar.

Come on, Sweets.

Do I have to
say this again?

I can't be sure,
but it's possible.

Yeah?
Hey.

I got a hit off
my facial reconstruction,

from the FBI database.

Turns out, he's a retired...

Yeah, I know.

That... that's Alan Friedlander.

You knew him?
Yeah.

Alan and I were, uh...

we were partners.

When I first started out.

When was the last time
you saw him?

It was at his
retirement party.

All right, you know what?
Alan was a good man.

All right? Pelant doesn't do
something like this

and get away with it.

It never feels good
to lose one of our own.

But the best way
to honor Friedlander

is to apprehend the person
who did this to him.

And you think it could be Pelant?
Yes.

But it could be someone else.
We don't want to

rule out anything.
And the U.S. Attorney's office--

meaning me-- will be here

to clear warrants,
dig up documents,

do your laundry if need be.

Whatever it takes
to help you out.

Yeah, look, Friedlander
wasn't married.

He didn't have
any living relatives.

So we got to start by looking
through his case files.

I'm putting together a list

of every miscreant
Friedlander put away

who's now back
out on the street.

Wouldn't be the first time
some degenerate wanted revenge.

Great. Any questions?

Okay, group one
covers the park;

group two,
arrests and convictions;

group three, personal life.
Agent Walters,

I want you here to set up
the command station.

Let's do this, people.

I want to be
in the field, Seeley.

Oh, I need you here
to coordinate everything.

Alan was a friend.
Right.

And you can help him
best from here.

So you don't trust me out there?
If I didn't trust you,

you wouldn't be working
this case at all.

Stay here and set up
the command station, all right?

I need you here.

After I cleaned
the desiccated tissue

from the ulna,
I saw these.

Puncture marks.

Yeah.

There was no I.D. on him
of any kind.

But everything else is intact.

I mean, watch,
ring, money.

Telling you,

if Pelant did this, he wanted
us to find the remains.

There are similar
puncture wounds

on the tibia and humerus.

Animal scavenging?
No.

The Harris lines suggest that
these are all ten years old.

Around the last time
he was shot.

Have his medical records

been sent over yet?

They should be
here by now.

This looks like
an attack by a dog.

There's no dog attack
in his records,

and nothing about the shooting
injuries from ten years ago.

You think Pelant changed
his medical records?

Booth.
Yeah?

I went back to look at
the doctoral paper I wrote,

'cause something was
bothering me.

Look at the example
I used to explore

Compensatory
Narcissistic Disorder.

It was...
Yeah, it was similar.

You already said that.
Just cut to the chase.

More than just similar.
I highlighted the section.

Look.
You wrote this?

Yeah.

"The assailant
dragged the remains

"onto a hiking trail

that was reopening,
from a picnic area."

That's more than a
coincidence, cher.

This wasn't published.

I think Pelant hacked
into my files or something.

Booth.

Yeah.

I'm on my way.

Another agent's down.

Just let me know, okay?

It's Jeff Stone.
He's dead.

Okay, what the hell
are you doing here?

I was having lunch
a couple of blocks away

when the call came in.

You think I should have stayed
there to finish my sandwich?

All right, okay. Just give me a
hard perimeter five blocks out.

Secure every metro entrance
and on-ramp.

All right.

Agent Booth.
There's a witness.

All right.

Are you okay?

Is there someone
we can call?

No, I'm okay.

But he knocked me down
when he ran away.

- Who?
- I don't know.

All right.
I'm sorry.

That man back there...

what happened?

That's why we need
your help, okay?

The person who knocked you
down-- what did he look like?

I remember, um, a hat.

And he had a-a tattoo
on his arm.

It was, uh...

it was like, uh, a knife
or a dagger or something.

All right.
I don't know.

Booth.
Yeah?

You should have a look.

All right, listen, um...

Agent Kenney here
is gonna take

the rest of your
statement, okay?

If there's anything
you can think of

in the future, call me.

That's my card.

All right?

We found this ski hat
in the trash.

It could belong
to our shooter.

All right. Hold on.

Booth.

You're not going
to find him, Agent Booth.

Where are you?

Pretty much
anywhere I want to be.

With that tour group.

Camera on top of the museum.

The cell phone that woman
in the green sweater is using.

What do you want this time?

You, uh, you crossed a line
when you shot me, Agent Booth.

I thought, I thought we were
working so well together.

I never did anything
to hurt you guys.

You think this is
some kind of a game?

Of course.

Now the rules have changed.

Shot to the base
of the occipital,

just like the previous victim.

And multiple shots
to the rest of the body.

Well, Pelant doesn't
do anything randomly.

I'll upload these photos

and see if the wounds
match the previous set.

Nine millimeter,
just like the other victim.

Probably from the same USP.

Booth should know about this.

Can you call him
on a burner cell?

I told Booth we should stay
on the grid--

computers, phones,
everything.

But Pelant will find a way in.
I know.

And when he does,
I'll be able to track him.

Maybe you should ask Booth
to remove himself

from the case.

I couldn't.
That's his decision.

It's Pelant
and he's targeting FBI...

No. We need Booth to get Pelant.

There's no one better;
you both know that.

Please tell Booth
about the bullets.

Sure.

There are remodeled injuries
to the right tibia.

Oh, I-I should do that.

I already am.

Okay, well,
then I'll help.

Bites from a dog.

Same Harris lines.

This injury is
from ten years ago,

just like Friedlander's.

And his records from that time
are missing, too.

Crystal Creek?

That was in West Virginia
ten years ago.

All right, well,
Friedlander and Stone

were attacked
by their guard dogs

the day that we stormed
the compound.

Why wasn't that
in his files?

Or the gunshot wounds?
Because the files

of the agents
that were injured that day

were moved to a secure location.

Does that sweet
doctor of yours

know you were
at Crystal Creek, too?

You know what?

That's something you don't

talk about if you don't have to.

All right, so what,

is Pelant getting political?

So you think
Pelant is getting political,

killing agents for revenge?

No, Pelant's not
killing anyone.

He's working
through a surrogate.

A few years ago, I
wrote an analysis

involving the pathology
of manipulation

and victim
vulnerability.

Okay, just speak so we don't
need an interpreter.

It's pretty simple.

There were survivors
at the compound.

Children who saw their parents
and siblings die.

That's a wound
that never heals.

Any one of them's
a perfect target for Pelant.

I mean, he guarantees revenge.

I'm sure Pelant says closure.

Because that's what you say
in your paper?

Yeah.

Pelant's using
my work against us.

Fortunately,
I'm more familiar

with it than he is.

You hope, cher.

Hey. Hey.

I tried to retrieve surveillance
video from the crime scene,

but all the
cameras feed into

central servers that
were wiped clean.

So Pelant can access
any security camera?

Yeah, any one with an
Internet connection.

How about you?

Yeah, yeah.
Yellow Poplar pollen

places the hat in
the Blue Ridge Mountain range

near the Quirauk Peak.

That's an area that covers
about 10,000 square miles.

Pelant's laughing at us
right now.

Hey,

we're gonna get him, Hodgins.

You know that we will.

I should've killed him
when I had the chance.

These men, the new victims...

they're my fault.

No, honey, they're not.

Yeah.

Just... I-I got to sort
through this garbage.

Listen, if you need anything,
just ask me, okay?

Yeah.

You should've told me.

I did.
As soon as it mattered.

You could be
the next target.

Oh, come on, Bones,
you're the logical one.

Okay, that's too easy
for Pelant.

I just know that
men are dying.

Men like you.

I am not going to die.
Understand?

Sweets says that Pelant
sees this as a game.

That is why he called me.

He called to say
that the rules were changing.

Yeah, okay.

If I'm gone and
you're gone,

then the game is over.

We have to focus on
winning. Okay, look.

He's just tr toying?

W-We're smarter
than he is.

Well, you're smarter.

Look, you're the smartest
person in the world.

Ever. I mean, since
the beginning of time.

Stop.
It's true.

Oh, except for
that one guy.

Uh, Gary from
old-time Greece.

He was smarter than you.

You are not allowed to die.

Do you understand?

Yeah. I understand.

Good.

Has the FBI kept track of

the Crystal Creek
survivors?

No. Most were kids,
so they had no cause.

Plus, with all
the lawsuits

and conspiracy theorists,
they didn't want the public

to think they were
spying, you know?

Yeah, and Pelant knew all that,

so his surrogate
wouldn't be traceable.

But I have indicators

and key words
we can use to screen

- for potential candidates.
- Well, I imagine

we'd start with
"Crystal Creek,"

"cover-up" and "FBI."

And "violation of rights."

This person is
terrified that

their parents' fate
might be theirs.

Wasn't Crystal Creek

a religious cult?
That's next.

Input "sin"
and "wicked."

Yeah, I'll try "Judas"

and "wrath."

"Revenge"?

No, that's not how he'll see it.

He's seeking justice.

If he's using my research,

Pelant has made
the surrogate

the hero of his own story.

Okay, "justice" it is.

He's in the Blue
Ridge Mountains.

That's where the particulates
on the hat came from.

And look at his tattoo.

That's him.

Surveillance has him.

He's leaving his cabin

and getting into an old truck.
And he's armed, Booth.

No surprise.
What kind of weapon?

I can't tell.
Could be a rifle or a shotgun.

Also, he's wearing a vest,
so he could

have grenades or other firearms.

Look, Reynolds is armed

and he's on his way.

Suspect is approaching.

200 yards, due east now.

Got him.

No one takes any shots
till you get my signal.

I repeat, no one
takes any shots.

We need him alive
in order to get to Pelant.

I'm gonna tell you once
and only once,

get the hell
off my land.

Oh, now, I don't want
any trouble here, sir.

You see, we have a work order,

and, uh, I got a road
that's coming

right through here.

So you sure this is your land?

My grandfather left it to me,

so yeah, I'm sure.
Now head out.

There's no need
to point the weapon at me.

This will stay pointed
until you all leave.

Understood?
Okay, great.

If you could just point out

on the map here where you are...

You are a special
kind of stupid, aren't you?

Don't you see
what I'm holding?

Don't want
any trouble here, Zane.

What the hell is this?

Move.

Move? This is my land!

Go! Go, go!

All teams go, let's go.

Go, go, go!

Copy. We have a visual.

Just relax.

I just want to talk, that's all.

You know, I'm
willing to die.

Haven't enough people
died already?

Not yet. Not before you
tell us about Pelant.

Look, we got a witness
who saw your tattoo.

Yeah, I hope he liked it.

You got the blood
of two FBI agents

on your hands. Two of 'em!

You're the one
with blood on his hands--

the blood of 94
of my brothers and sisters.

Mr. Reynolds,

I understand the rage
you must feel.

You suffered a great loss
at the hands

of the federal...
Save it!

Only God himself
understands me,

and he is
the only authority

I answer to.

Did Pelant contact you
through a church?

Maybe you share
a religious conviction?

My relationship with the
Almighty is between me and him.

I don't need
any church.

Look, listen to me.
I don't know

what Pelant has told you, but
seven people have been killed.

You lost your parents
at Crystal Creek, Zane.

That shouldn't
have happened, okay?

But now you can
do the right thing,

make sure that no other
innocent people die.

Pelant is using you.
You're better than that.

You said those two FBI agents
were at Crystal Creek?

That means the
Lord himself

condemned them.

I only wish I was the guy
he used to pull the trigger.

Hey, kiddo.

I understand how
difficult it must be

to keep seeing me like this.

Just know that I love you.

And the person sending
these videos to you

is a good and trusted friend.

If you want to show
your love for me,

honor me and my work,
you'll keep doing what he asks.

Proud of you, kiddo.

Reynolds has an alibi

that checks out, all right?
He was at a gun show.

Well, whoever
the killer is

has to have a connection
to Crystal Creek.

I mean, I hate to
say it, but we should

look into the other
agents that were there.

So you think Pelant has
his claws into one of our own?

Well, evidence suggests that the
victims knew their assailant.

That's how he was
able to get so close.

Okay, look, I'm getting all the
FBI files unsealed, all right?

Get them to you
and the squints

in less than an hour.
Thank you.

Um... I don't want you
to worry, Agent Booth.

About what? You just
saying that got me worried.

I don't believe that
Pelant wants to kill you.

Well, he didn't sound
like that on the phone.

He has no one else
in his life except us.

That's why the victims are
always outside of the group.

Right. Was that in
one of your papers, too?

You don't think I feel
bad enough about this?

About the fact that Pelant's
using my work against us?

I'm doing the best I can
to stay ahead of him, all right?

Right, relax. We're all just
wound up a little tight.

All right? I'm sorry.

Booth.

Bones! Hey, whoa.

Are you okay?

I wanted to
give you this.

Jerky?
I should have

bought it for
you before.

If you like it, I...

I want you to have it.

I want you to be happy;
that's all I want.

What's this about?

Okay, look, I'm gonna be fine.

I know.
I mean, I don't know,

and neither of us know.

We hope.

I mean, I could be the target,

or you could die
of a heart attack,

or I could get

hit by a bus.

Okay, just slow down
for a second.

Just, will you just slow down.

The point is...

...I want to marry you.

Will you marry me, Booth?

Are you serious?

Yes.

I've been afraid,
I've been stubborn,

and I've been in love.

And marriage
would make you so happy.

Are you sure?
You're not just saying this

because of Pelant and
everything that's going on here?

Positive.

All this just made me
see things more clearly.

I love you.

I want you to be my husband.

I want to...

I want to spend the rest
of my life with you.

Say something.

Yes.

Of course.

Yes.

I want you to be my husband.

I... I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.

Yes.

Of course. Yes.

I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.

Yes.

Of course. Yes.

I want to spend the rest
of my life with you.

Yes.

Of course. Yes.

I was reexamining
the bullet wounds to see

if there's any pattern
to the injuries.

Angela and Hodgins are
looking for any kind of code

using cryptological analysis.

Yeah, I don't think
that's necessary.

But you just said...

I believe Pelant
wants us to believe

it is a complex code,
but it's actually quite simple.

What kind of bullets
were the victims shot with?

Copper jacket, lead core.

You see these
two slit-like

exit wounds
in the scapula?

I originally believed
they came

from two different shots,

but they have
no marginal abrasions.

So the copper jacket
separated from the lead core

after the bullet
entered the body.

One bullet, two exit wounds.

Agent Friedlander
wasn't shot 12 times.

Which means both victims
were shot 11 times.

And with Pelant involved,
that can't be a coincidence.

Hey, where have you been?

I was worried
about you.

I've been here, working.

Not an hour ago.

I-I was looking for you, I...

Oh, I was with Booth.

Oh, I thought that Pelant

had taken you or something.

I was asking him to marry me.

What?

I was asking Booth to marry me.

Oh, my God.

Sweetie.

Congratulations.

That-That's
wonderful news.

Odd timing, but w-wonderful.

Yeah, wait a minute,
why now?

What happened?

And this is crazy
and great.

I used simple
evidence-based logic.

When I thought about
living with Booth

for the rest of my life,

my phenylethylamine
and ghrelin levels

were clearly elevated, but...

You could just say
it felt right.

It did.

It does.

It's clearly irrational,

but I feel

I could never find a better man
to spend my life with.

And I'm...

Happy.

And I thought
that should be recorded

for the world to know.

I also discovered
what ties

these murders together.
Wait, that's it

for the-the marriage thing?

You expected more?

Both victims were
shot 11 times, deliberately.

What we thought was

a 12th shot
was a bullet

separating
in the body.

A simple numerical repetition.

It's-it's too simple for Pelant.

Which is why we overlooked it.

So, what ties

the FBI, Crystal Creek,

and the number 11 together then?

That's what we need to find out.
Perhaps first you can see

if Booth has any link
to the number 11.

Booth?
Yeah?

I don't believe
Pelant's surrogate's an agent.

Okay, you realize you've
been changing your mind

about this
every two seconds.

I know, I know,
but he's using bits and pieces

from over ten papers
I've written.

He wants me to be disoriented,
but I'm positive about this.

You're positive? I
didn't think shrinks

could be positive
about anything.

Another paper of mine
he's referencing

focuses on the indices
of abnormal adolescent

and postadolescent
behavior.

W-Wait a second.

Kid again?
That's what led us

to Zane Reynolds.
Right, but Reynolds

had the ability
to channel his rage.

He-he built a new identity for
himself so that he could...

You're smiling.

Why are you smiling?

This is not appropriate.
Sorry.

Bones just asked me
to marry her.

What?! Really?!
Yeah.

Yes, and she did it with jerky.

I'm not gonna ask.

No, beef jerky. Come on.

Who does that?
She's amazing.

I don't know what that means
still, but congratulations.

I-I know.
That's... Oh, man.

One thing to keep in mind.

What?
The two of you getting engaged

with Pelant active--

he needs to feel
he's the most important.

Okay, well, that's his problem,
not mine.

Right, I'm just saying,

psychologically,
he can't accept being replaced.

You know,
it could cause him to escalate.

Well, it could cause him
to slip up, too.

Let me just tell you
something, Sweets.

I've been waiting
for this moment

for a long, long time,
and it's finally here.

There's no way that Pelant's
gonna take that away from me.

We've been looking
in the wrong place.

It wasn't someone avenging
the deaths of the people

in that compound
in Crystal Creek.

Well, who else would want
to murder those agents?

A child of one of the agents
who was killed there.

Three of the agents
were killed that day.

One of them was shot 11 times,

including once
to the back of the head,

just like our two victims.

His name is Harris Samuels.

I got his FBI file,

and there are a ton of details
about his family in there.

They do that in case
the family wants protection.

He's a single father.

His daughter, Anna,
was orphaned

after he was killed
at Crystal Creek.

Yeah, he used to
take her hunting,

right, taught her to shoot;
she was

a marksman first class
by the time she was ten.

And she blames the FBI
for his death?

The files were sealed
because there was

so much controversy
surrounding the assault.

Conspiracy groups

think that the agents died
from friendly fire,

even though two
independent investigations

proved that they died because
of shots from the compound.

It might not matter to Anna.

Three years after her father
was killed,

she was institutionalized
for over a year.

Something called
complex grief disorder.

Sweets said that if Pelant
gets ahold

of these files,
he could make her do anything

if she thought
it would avenge her father.

And since she's
so sweet-looking,

no one would suspect
she's a killer.

If you're seeing this video,

sweetheart, it's almost over.

The contact should have

already given you instructions.

I love you more than I can say
for doing this.

Even though I'm gone,

I know I am the luckiest man
in the world

to have a daughter like you.

I'm proud of you, kiddo.

Agent Booth.

This is Allison Taylor
from the murder scene.

I need to talk to you,
right away.

We found the surrogate
Pelant is using.

It's the daughter of an agent

who was killed at Crystal Creek.

Harris Samuels.

Walters, look up
Agent Harris Samuels.

See what you have
on his daughter.

Apparently, she's the shooter.
You got it.

Can I speak to Booth?

Booth isn't here, cherie;
he went to meet a witness.

Where?
He didn't say.

Well, is Sweets there?
He went to meet Booth,

help with the questioning.

Oh, my God. Anna Samuels.

She's the witness;
that's who Booth went to meet.

She's calling herself
Allison Taylor.

Call Booth, Caroline, warn him.

I couldn't get through
to Sweets either.

Don't you worry, cherie.
We're on it.

Get to that girl's place;
see if there's anything there

to lead us to Booth.

And keep a line open
to the squints.

They might need something
in there, too.

Excuse me, sir, you
got any phone service?

Nah, it's weird.
It's usually pretty good here.

Find and secure her computer.

The information that we need
is going to be on her computer.

Got it, ma'am.

Now send me an e-mail

so I can get her I.P. address
and hack in.

And don't ever
call me "ma'am" again.

I'm in.

You guys, tear this place apart.

Let's go!

Ah, come on.

Hey, sweetheart,
if you're watching this...

That's he father.
I can't reach Sweets.

He must be stuck in traffic.

Metro said it's
gridlocked downtown

and cell service is knocked out.
That's Samuels.

Yeah. He must have

made this before
he was killed.

It's important for you to know
Crystal Creek was a setup.

They massacred those people
to prove the government's power

and to stifle dissent.

And the fact
that you're watching this

means I wasn't able to stop it.

Well, the conspiracy theories
were right.

Booth would
never cover up anything.

Of course not,

'cause this is not her father.

What are you talking about?

We have pictures, video footage.
Look outside.

All right, on
the swing set.

Angie, can you zoom in
on that bird?

That is a Eurasian
collared dove.

The bird didn't even migrate to
the tristate area until 2008.

Harris died in 2003!

Hodgins is right.

The pixels don't match.

Pelant is sending
these videos to her.

And she thinks
they're really from her father.

Search her drive to see

how she gets instructions.

It's the only way
to find out where Booth is

and what she's planning
to do next.

Hey, I've got
something. It's decrypting.

If I know Pelant, this is
gonna get his attention.

Booth!

Oh, God.

Decoy.

T-A-R...

Target.

"Sweets."

Booth isn't the target.
Pelant's going after Sweets.

That's why Pelant has Sweets
stuck in traffic.

It makes him an easy target.
Hold on. Hold on.

How do we know this isn't just
another elaborate decoy?

No, it's not.

This is why
I wanted to stay online.

I lured him in.

He is infiltrating
the system now,

reversing the decryption

to make it look like
Booth is the target.

Brennan.

What's going on, Bones?

Booth! You're all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine,
but Sweets never showed up.

Traffic. Angela said that Pelant
hacked the lights.

You were supposed
to meet the shooter,

but you're just a decoy.

The target is Sweets.
Where's Sweets?

I'm doing a recognition search

for his car now.

Got him.
He's at Harding and Avenue H.

The witness you were going
to meet-- she's the shooter.

All right, look,
send a chopper in.

Can't. Pelant scrambled
the guidance systems.

He's knocked out radio
communications, cell service.

All right, look, I'm close.
I can get there, all right?

Sweets does not die today.

I have to go.

You can't!

No, he is out
there alone.

There's a shooter.
I'm his partner.

Watch out, buddy!

Hey!

Get off of there!

Idiot!

That's my car!

Watch it!

Hey, hey!

What is he doing?

Sweets!

Sweets!

Sweets!

Booth!

Got her.

Booth!

Booth.

You okay?

I'm okay.

CAROLINE
Pelant is worse than ever,

preying on a wounded
child like that.

All right, so Angela said Pelant
shut down his entire network.

He's off the grid.

For now.
Oh, we'll take what we can get.

What about the girl,
she talking?

It's gonna take some time.

Well, you know what?
If anyone can get her

to lead us to Pelant,
it's our shrink.

You hear that,
Sweetie bird?

You're the man.
Don't blow it.

Listen, I hate to cut short
a meeting with my sixth-

and eighth-favorite people,

but I got a date
with my first favorite.

Damn right you do.

You two got to go practice
the marriage dance.

Right.

What's the marriage dance?

Oh, I get it.

I thought you'd want
some weird tribal wedding,

and I'd have to pay
for you in giraffes.

No, no one
offers giraffes.

The archaic Catholic wedding
ritual is important to you.

And even as an atheist,
I can see the beauty in it.

Plus, I speak Latin.

Tu frueris oscillationibus,
Christine?

I don't think they use
Latin anymore, Bones.

That's an old language, right?

I'm not sure she understood me.

It's an old language.
She doesn't get it. Hold on.

Booth.

You won't marry her,
Agent Booth.

It's Mom.

Say hi.

You don't get to decide that.

But I do.
I always make the decisions.

And Dr. Brennan can't know
the reason why

you're turning her down.

If you tell her,

I'll know.
We're done here.

If you ignore me,
you'll be responsible

for the deaths
of five innocent people:

the teenager with
the green shirt and headphones,

couple on the bench,

the old man playing chess
by himself.

You know, I'm gonna find you
and I'm gonna kill you.

You've already tried.

See, I-I really do decide
what happens next.

And this will happen, too,

maybe because
I've read everything

Dr. Sweets has written about you
and Dr. Brennan.

I know you could never trade
five innocent lives

for your own happiness.

Don't be upset,
Agent Booth, please.

I feel all of us are
closer than ever now.

I will kill you.

♪ Oh, if I had my way

♪ I would

♪ Never let you down

♪ I'll take the long way

♪ If it's a long way

♪ A long way down

♪ For us.

Is Christine asleep?

Yeah.

Angela gave me this magazine.

I-I don't understand

why all these women
are wearing white dresses.

There's no way
they're all virgins.

Something...

Something the matter?

We need to talk.

Okay.

About the wedding,
about us getting married.

Oh, the ceremony--
that doesn't matter to me.

And I won't be wearing white.

I don't think we should do it.

I should've thought this
through before.

But this is what you wanted.

But you didn't.

But I do now.

I love you.

Um, I want to marry you.

Because we've been under
so much pressure.

I mean, that's...
really what's going on here.

I mean, like you said,
it's-it's just a piece of paper.

What we have already is enough.

You're right. You're right.

And it's been
a stressful time.

And, um... I'm impressed that
you're finally seeing things

from my perspective.

Right.

Do, uh, do you want
to order in?

I can make some sauce...
I'm not really hungry.

I'm just gonna go upstairs
and read for a bit.

Right. I'm not
hungry either.

But, Bones...

Um...

we're okay, right?

Of course.

Right.
