If you had
any kind of weapon,

you'd let me know,
right, buddy?

Make it easy
on yourself.

[ siren approaching]

Why did they call in the FBI
to Little Salvador?

Well, you know, car's
got Virginia plates,

it crossed state line.

Then there's the
suspected gang member,

then there's
RICO to deal with.

What... Bones, do you
really want to know?

No, I was just using it
as an excuse

to make conversation and
reestablish our connection.

What?

Well, I read a book about
improving work relationships.

It's not fair to expect you
to tell me everything.

I appreciate
the effort, Bones.

BRENNAN:
It's like they recreated
their country here.

Right down to being terrified
of the police.

Yeah, well, a lot of these
people, they're undocumented.

They get nervous
around law enforcement.

What do we got?

He ran the stop sign.

I pulled him over,
he tried to run.

Oh, look at this, huh?

A Mara Muertetattoo.

It's one of the most
feared gangs in the area.

No wonder he was chauffeuring
a dead body around, huh?

Couldn't just join
the Boys Club, pal?

And I'm here because...?

Routine inspection
of the vehicle...

I found this.

Oh!

BRENNAN:
Vertical brow ridge
suggests female.

Recently dug up, looks like.

Could you hold his hands up,
please?

We should analyze the dirt on
his hands and compare it

to the dirt on the shovel
and the remains.

Where was she buried?

[ speaks Spanish]

Great. Now he's ignoring us
in two languages.

Well, where's
the nearest cemetery?

Closest one I know about
is Holy Rood,

but it's a good ten miles
from here.

[ speaking Spanish]

Maybe your Spanish
is a little rusty.

They come from a place
where getting involved
gets you killed.

[ gunshots]

Get down! Get down!

Shots fired! Shots fired!

Hey!

Hey!

Don't make me shoot you.

Well, decomp,
insect activity...

volatile fatty acid levels in
the soil, due to putrefaction...

suggests she was buried for
approximately six months.

Typically,
gravediggers

are necrophiliacs looking
for a little action.

Um... ew.

Dental exam shows
shoveled incisors

and striated enamel.

Indicating?Malnutrition.

Which is consistent with

anthropometrics,

suggesting the victim
is from Central America.

The body was found
in a Salvadoran neighborhood.

In Pikeville, Tennessee,
a guy dug up the graves

of all these people,
because he wanted to make sure

their bodies were still there.

They weren't.

Make a sketch of the face.

I'm not sure
if we'll find a match.

She might have been
undocumented.

Goodman is an expert
in religious iconography.

Maybe he'll be able to determine
where this rosary was made.

Depression fracture on her
occipital bone straddling

the left lambdoidal suture.

Looks like one hard hit

congruent with, say,
a baseball bat.

She was religious.

She should have had a casket...

a proper burial with
her name on a headstone.

We are going to find out

who she is, and we are
going to give her that.

BOOTH:
Miguel Villeda.

Warlord of the Venganza
Rojastreet gang.

According to this, you... you
are one fierce, fierce guy.

Well, it didn't stop your guys
from picking me up.

They tell you why?

Someone took a shot

at some Mara Muerte espuma.

Not a shot, hmm?

A couple dozen shots.
A drive-by.

Hardly anyone is stupid enough
to shoot at those guys anymore.

Your name came up.

It wasn't my people.

So, are you gonna charge me
with something or let me go?

Extortion, drugs, assault,
attempted murder.

I could hold you for awhile,
if you want to play that game.

What's your problem, man?What's my problem?

My problem is that
somebody shot at me.

Shot at me and my partner.

Plus, you know,
a bad guy got away,

so I'm a little cranky
about the whole thing.

Hmm.
Mira, gavacho...

I don't really scare
that way, you know,

the whole in your face
staring thing?

No?
No.

Give me a chance, man.
I'm just getting started.

Hmm. So, somebody
shot at you, huh?

That's right.

Think about it.

When was the last time

you heard of a drive-by
where no one got hit?

Innocent bystanders, mostly.

It's not like you always hit
what you aim at.

Think, just for
a couple of seconds,

about why the guy never got hit.

Ah, yeah, you see?
You got it now?

You're saying that Mara Muerte
did a drive-by on their own guy?

A drive-by happens, yeah.
And you all hit the deck.

And the gangbanger
makes a run for it.

Okay, I have it
on good authority

that the guys who shot
at our killer

were doing it so that he'd have
a chance to escape.

The victim was pregnant when
she was hit over the head.

Pregnant?Yeah, five weeks along.

Get your hands off there.

I ran samples from the body,
shovel and burlap

through the gas chromatograph,
and it all came back

full of organic compounds:
plant detritus,

root remnants, fertilizer.

Sounds like stuff
you'd find in a cemetery.

Yeah, well,
I also found this.

Fernaldia pandurata,otherwise
known as loroco buds.

Loroco is
an edible flowering plant.

It's native to El Salvador.

It's grown in vegetable gardens,
not cemeteries.

She was buried
in a vegetable garden?

Okay, can you recognize
this locoplant?

Loroco. I've eaten it, but
I wouldn't recognize the plant.

It's quite distinctive.

I'm also analyzing the dirt
and particulates on the shoe

you got off the suspect.

At first glance, it matches the
vegetation we've already found,

but with a couple extras
I'm still checking out.

Okay. Hodgins, suit up.

You're coming with us.

We're going
to the barrio.

Field work. Cool.

Do I get a gun?

You can't arm
Hodgins and not me.

What is it with you people
and the guns? Huh?

HODGINS:
Look at this.

The government bankrupts itself
giving tax breaks to the rich

so there's no money left to help
these people with job training,

educational resources,
health care.

Just look for a garden
with the plant.

And those who do manage
to land a job are working

for a minimum wage that hasn't
seen a hike in eight years.

That's for those who
are here legally.

The undocumented
do a lot worse.

What is this? NPR Radio, huh?

What, are you two
running for office?

HODGINS:
Over there, a garden.

Loroco plant.

It's the same approximate
maturity that would have yielded

the buds we found.

Adipocere.

It forms on the body in response
to moisture on the ground.

Trogid beetles.
They have a thing for
decomposing flesh.

I found a couple
on the burlap.

The rest of the rosary.

There's another
freshly-overturned
pile of dirt over here.

More adipocere.

Not from the same body?

Another body was buried here,

but it's gone now.

Double homicide.

[ whirring]

I spoke to
the City Development Office.

The garden is scheduled
to be excavated

next week for construction.

My guess is we interrupted
a gangbanger

moving the body
of two murder victims.

A gangbanger who
buries his victim
with a rosary?

What? You find
any gunshot wounds?

Nope, just head trauma.

[ whirring]

You really like this part,
don't you?

I like answers, yes.

Oh, localized staining
on the endocranial surface,

indicating...

Subdural hematoma.

The head wound caused
internal bleeding,

but death was not
instantaneous.

BRENNAN:
She may have been conscious
for some time after the assault.

But there's no sign
of bone remodeling.

She died soon after
the assault.

ADDY:
There's patterning
on the ectocranial surface.

Whatever weapon was used,
it left a mark.

Our gang unit's gonna bring in
the leader of Mara Muerte,

see if we can identify
the gangbanger who got away.

Why would a gang leader
cooperate?

'Cause I'm gonna ask him
very, very nicely, Bones.

You know that book
I'm reading

about getting along
with your coworkers?

It says that sarcasm
is never helpful.

I could lend it to you,
if you want.

I found Spodoptera
ornithogalliand
tetranychus urticae

on the suspect's shoe
and on the victim.

I also found notonectidae
and corixidae.

It's aquatic fauna
typically only found

in and around
ponds and streams.

There are no ponds or streams
at the burial site.

Yeah, and here's the kicker:

There was also evidence
of genetic material

from a Franklinia alatamaha
on his shoe.

BOOTH:
You're kidding?
I'm in shock.

Franky Alabama?
You don't say.

Did you hear what
I said about sarcasm?

It's a rare flowering plant

that hasn't been seen
in the wild since 1800.

The only known specimen
in this area--

outside a specialized botanical
garden-- was given

to Senator Alan
Corman as a gift.

Oh, I love going after senators.

Whoa, just, you know, simmer
down here, Hodgins, okay?

We're gonna check out
the botanical garden first.

Fine.
It's at the White House.

[ laughing]
[ laughing]

Okay, you guys should do that
even less than normal people.

Make sure to keep your
eyes open for backswimmers

and water boatmen while you're
there, and remember,

the notonectidae can be
different colors. You know...

That's a nice try, okay?
You're coming with us.

I call shotgun.

I called"shotgun."

What does it mean to a society

when the niceties
are no longer observed?

Okay, look, we got two bodies,
all right?

One unaccounted for.

We've been shot at, and now we
know that there's a gang member

walking around
a U.S. Senator's place.

Any theories?

Oh, come on, guys.

Let's think of it as a puzzle

and there's a missing piece.

I like puzzles.

I find them relaxing.

I just finished
The Anatomy Lesson.

Rembrandt.

You're kidding, right?

What do you find relaxing?

I restore vintage cars.

I know what I find relaxing.

Everybody finds what you
find relaxing, relaxing.

Senator Corman
is a big supporter

of business leaders
in Central America.

That means supporting repressive
regimes that use death squads

to silence any opposition
from the working people,

which are the same people
who flee to the States.

Okay, that's great, that's good.
Okay, let's focus.

It's good,
'cause now we have a link

between Corman
and the Salvadorans.

Now you think the Senator
murdered two people?

I just think we got another
piece of the puzzle, that's all.

WOMAN:
Because of my husband's

official work
in El Salvador

we've formed a bond with
the country and the people.

CORMAN:
In fact, we have several
Salvadoran immigrants

working here at the house.

I've actually sponsored
quite a few for citizenship.

Citizenship screening would keep
out members of death squads.

Hodgins...

Just because
I'm anti-socialist

doesn't make me
pro-death squad.

Dr. Brennan has found evidence

that a gang member's been
on your property recently.

Well, we employ 20 staff
members, give or take.

All of our staff members are
either legal aliens or citizens.

Our House Manager
is in charge

of hiring them
and managing them.

Do you recognize this man?

No.

I assume he did
something worse

than trespass
on my property?

House Manager...
is he from El Salvador?

Yes.

Agent, you didn't
answer my question.

We're investigating a death,
Senator Corman.

You understand
why I can't talk about it.

Perhaps we could show this
picture to your House Manager?

Of course.

Franklinia alatamaha.
It's beautiful.

Yes. We're the only people
cultivating it privately.

BOOTH:
Senator, do you have a pond
on the property?

Yes, on the other side of
the shrubs. It's small.

Could Dr. Hodgins
take a look at it?

Of course,
be my guest.

Logan, come say hello.
We have guests.

It's our son.

He's studying landscape
architecture

at Georgetown.

He likes to supervise
the men sometimes.

Logan, this is
Special Agent Booth

from the FBI and his
associate Dr. Brennan.

What's the FBI doing here?

They would like to ask
Hector some questions.

Yeah.

Hey, Hector.

[ speaks Spanish]

[ speaks Spanish]

Yes, sir?

Hector, I'm
Special Agent Booth.

Do you recognize this guy?

No, I don't think so.

It could be José.

He works here sometimes,
as a gardener.

Really?
I don't think so.

José who?

José Vargas.

Logan, Agent Booth said
he was in a gang.

A gang? No, no way.

José is a nice guy,
you know, wife and kid.

I found both backswimmers
and water boatmen.

[ speaking Spanish]

What is it?[ speaking Spanish]

Gracias.

Looks like we found
the second body.

Puparial casings of Tineid moths

puts the time of death
of this one at about a year.

Six months
before the girl.

ZACK:
Heart-shaped pelvic inlet.

Long projections of bone
into the rib cartilage

suggests we have a male over 60.

Anthropometrics suggests
Hispanic origins.

We reassembled the rosary
found on the young woman.

The carving of fire
in the centerpiece

is an archetypal symbol
found in an area of El Salvador

since the Chaparrastique volcano
erupted in 1787.

So this might indicate
where the female victim's from.

A village called
Milagro de la Paz

in the southeast of the country.

I was there three years ago,

identifying victims
of the death squads.

ANGELA:
I finished the sketch
of the woman.

She was pregnant, starting
over in a new country,

so I gave her a smile,

made her look hopeful.

Thanks, Angela.

All right, let's clean the bones

so we can find
a cause of death.

I think I just found it.

It's a bullet.

Looks like steel
core, copper jacket.

Military issue.

Those are the kinds of weapons
gangs like.

They escape from
the death squads

and wind up being killed

by the same weapons
they were running from.

I got José's address
from Logan.

Let's check it out.

Thanks.

FBI. Make your
presence known.

Look, he has
a family, a baby.

Is anybody here?

You don't have
to be afraid.

[ speaks Spanish]

Of course, they're gonna
be afraid, Bones.

I have a gun.

Milagro de la Paz.

That's where
the victims are from.

They had to have been here

a few minutes ago--
the bottle's still warm.

They're still here.

How do you know?

They're prepared
for this kind of thing.

Hiding from death squads,

people learned
to build false walls.

Closet.
Okay, hold on, Bones.

Let's just pretend that
I'm the cop for a second.

Okay? Just...

[ knocking]

[ speaking Spanish]

What'd you say?

That we just want
to talk to José.

That they'd all be safe, they
have nothing to worry about.

Do you want to be deported?

Do you want
to see your baby again?

Because if he
was born here,

he doesn't have
to go back with you.

We can keep him.

Booth. Stop.
She's frightened enough.

Bones, we have
a double murder on our hands.

But she didn't do it.

Just tell her what I said, okay?

Tell her we're calling
immigration.

Tell her we'll
get to José.

No, she's lived with terror
and intimidation her whole life.

I'm not going to add to it.All right, you know what?

You're acting like I'm gonna
hurt her or something.

I'm just trying
to get information.

I am asking you, as a favor,

not to make me do this.

To scare her.

Please.

This is interesting.

Interesting or horrible?

Because sometimes
it's the same thing with you.

This hole in the sternum.

It's definitely not
a gunshot wound.

It's a sternal foramen.

I found the same exact thing
on the female victim's sternum.

It seemed
like a meaningless anomaly...

BRENNAN:
It's a hereditary condition.

The two victims were related.

Based on their ages...
father and daughter?

So father and daughter buried
next to each other, right?

Then dug up.

But then father is reburied.
Why?

The gangbanger was probably
taking the daughter

to be reburied when the cops
pulled him over.

This is the stuff
that Booth is good at.

The murky ways of
the human heart, all that.

We work the hard evidence.

We've used up all the evidence.

Okay, okay, let's just...
You know what?

Let's just pretend
we're Booth, okay?

Ooh, let me try.

The daughter
got pregnant

from the killer in El
Salvador, then came here.

He catches up to 'em,
they fight...

[ laughing]:
He joins a gang

and then kills her.

HODGINS:
The father comes after
him seeking revenge,

and the killer kills him.BRENNAN: No, no.

The father's death
preceded the daughter's

by at least six months.

I have found something.

I can't get this bullet
out of the pelvic bone.

Oh, wow.

The bone started healing
around the bullet.

See the remodeling?

This wound healed

years ago.

He didn't die by being shot.

Tough old bastard.

How was he murdered?

BRENNAN:
He wasn't murdered.

Metastatic carcinoma.

Probably originating
in the prostate.

So, he survives being shot,
but then he dies of cancer?

Mega-tough old bastard.

Yeah.

Anything?

Yeah.

Immigration has the wife.

She got a lawyer

from the Salvadoran League
of Something-Or-Other

and she's not giving
us anything about José.

Are you mad at me?

No.

But, you know, I could have
gotten something back there

if you hadn't gotten...

all mushy on me.

I was uncomfortable with...

You always say I'm not a cop.

You're right.

Especially in a
situation like that.

It's okay. We're not going
to need her anyway.

Really? Why?

'Cause I had the gang unit

put a lean on Roberto Ortez.

He's the head of Mara Muerte.

The gang that
José belongs to?

Yeah. They convinced Ortez to
bring José in for questioning.

Why would he do that?

Ortez's sister

is in the can
on possession charges.

I... I promised him
I could make that go away.

Can you?

I dunno, it's a local beef,
I'm Federal,

but, hey, I'm a cop, and, uh...

thank God for bad sisters, huh?

[ tires screeching]

[ slow, steady beeping]

WOMAN:
He has a collapsed lung,
several broken ribs,

one arm is broken,
the other shoulder's dislocated.

But we can
talk to him?

You can try.Hey, thanks.

Wow. [ whistles]

Wow, your own guys,
they do this to you?

Hey, geez,
I wish I had my own gang.

I don't belong to no gang.

I'm a gardener.

Oh, a gardener with a Mara
Muertetattoo on his neck

who can now understand English

and who likes
to plant dead bodies.

Hey, maybe that stuff's private.

Hey, you know what?
You're an illegal immigrant.

You're a gang member.

You're under arrest
for transporting

a dead body in a stolen car,

and you're under suspicion
for murder.

I'm gonna call I.C.E.

and have you andyour wife
deported

back to El Salvador.

I got a son.

Forget it.
We keep the son.

That's my son.
It's my only son.

You got kids?No.

Yes, you do.
Difference is,
I'm a fit father.

I'm not going around
murdering guys and...
and little girls,

burying them,
digging them up...Booth?

I don't think he
murdered those people.

[ chuckles]:
You can tell
if he murdered someone

by looking at his X rays.

He has the same genetic
condition the two victims had.

A sternal foramen.

They were probably

his sister and his father.

That true?

Hey, you know what, buddy,

you want to be on my good side,

because I wasn't joking
about keeping your kid.

Yes.

It's my sister,
it was my father.

Your father died
of natural causes.

Fine, but...

your sister was murdered.

Eh, you know what?
Forget it.

Gang is the only family
José cares about, you know?

Enjoy your trip back home,

and have fun
explaining to your wife

why she doesn't have a baby
in her arms.

Give us something.

Help us to do the right
thing for your sister.

I cannot.

Just... anything.

At least you could
tell us their names.

You want their names, huh?

Duarte...

was our family name.

Maria was my sister;
our father was named Augustin.

That's all
I can tell you.

José's sister hated him.Hated him? Why?

She didn't approve
of his associations.

You mean associations, like
the leader of one of the most

murderous street gangs
in the country?

If she hated José so much,
why was he moving her body?

The burial site
was threatened.

He wanted to move her
to a better place.

And his father.

Real family guy, you know?

I'm not the leader
of the whole gang,

just the DC chapter.You shot at us so José could
have a chance to get away.

Mara Muertetakes care
of its own.

Even a throwaway like José.

Can I ask you something?Yeah, go ahead.

José's all beaten up,

so he won't tell us
anything, but you,

you don't even ask
for a lawyer,

but you hardly stop talking.Bones...

Hey, I'm the boss, lady, okay?

José's a subordinado.

That retraso
not as smart as me.

You intimidate him into silence,

but you can walk in here
to the FBI,

say whatever you want and walk
away like you own the place.

That's right.BOOTH:
Look, all I need to know is,

who would have the guts
to kill his sister.

Who cares, man?

Come on, Ortez, a sister
of the Mara Muerte.

It's the most feared gang
in the city.

She wasn't mysister, man.

It had to be somebody
else in the gang,

somebody more important
than José.

You know what, lady?

You think too much.

Maybe you need a man like me
to get your mind

off of things,
you know what I'm saying?

I can be

your adorin' Salvadoran.

[ door closes]

Look, I didn't know
who killed José's sister.

But I'll tell you what,
because I like you so much,

I find out who did it,

I'll kill him.

[ deep sigh]

You been waiting for me?

Push that button again,
and we can go down together.

You think you can
intimidate people into
doing what you want?

Okay, I'll push it myself.

How do you handle someone
who isn'tafraid of you?

Just get out of my way.

I said, move your ass.

I wouldn't...

That's gonna hurt
in the morning.

Bitch!

[ elevator bell dings]

Feel better?

Yeah.

I really do.

You beat up a gang leader?

Booth told you that?

You did.

You got into a fight
with a gangbanger.

You're mad at me?

The guy's a killer, Brennan.

Angela, relax.
We were in the FBI building.

Look, I know you're
all about self-reliance

and fighting your own battles
and standing up for yourself,

but now, as your friend,

and knowing how much
you hate psychology here...

you need therapy.

I'm sorry I upset you.

It's just that I've
dealt with him before.

With who?

People who get
what they want through fear.

Gangbangers,
members of death squads...

I know it's psychology again,
but you said "him,"

like, one guy.

I didn't mean Ortez
specifically, I meant...

people like him.

On my last trip
to El Salvador...

Yeah, I remember-- I tried
to get you to go to Italy

with me.

I was in a tent set up
by one of the grave sites.

I was working with the remains
of a young girl,

maybe 13.

She'd been shot in the head
and dumped into a well.

This cop shows up,

and he might have
been a soldier,

it's not easy to tell.

I thought he was there to guard
me, but he told me to stop.

When I refused, he
called in two others.

They put a bag over my head
and tossed me into a cell

with a dirt floor
and no windows.

For how long?

Later I found out
it was three days.

But I thought it was a week,

maybe more.

He came in every day

and made me believe
I was going to die.

He said that he'd shoot me
and toss me into a well,

and that no one
would ever know who I was

or what became of me.

I promised myself, if I ever
had the chance, I'd get even.

[ laughs softly]

That doesn't mean
I need therapy.

I identified the type of wood

in the weapon
that killed Maria.

Am I interrupting
a female moment?

No. What was the wood?

Quarter-sawn cumuru.

Definitely not from
a shovel handle.

What is made out of
quarter-sawn cumuru?

Very expensive furniture.

Senatorially expensive?

Most definitely.

KATE:
I don't recognize her, no.

Neither do I, I'm afraid.

How about you, Hector?

Her name was Maria.

She used to work as a maid here.
She had papers.

Fake ones-- probably supplied by
our friendly neighborhood gang.

Hector couldn't
possibly be expected

to identify forged papers.

What happened to Maria?

One day she didn't show up
for work. That's all.

Did she interact
with anyone here besides José?

I don't know about
that kind of thing.

What kind of thing, Hector?

I don't know anything.

What do you mean, Hector?

Was Maria involved
with the senator?

What? Of course not.

No.

No, not the senator.

Well, tell the truth, Hector--
this is the FBI.

Logan.

She was involved with Logan.

What kind of "involved"?

I'd rather not say.

Maria's dead, Logan.

M-Maria's dead?

Yes.

Of course that
changes things.

Maria and I were...

What, you
were lovers?

Bones, what the hell
are you doing?

How long have you
had this bed?

Uh, since I was,
like, 15. Why?

Do you know what kind
of wood it is?

Curu... cumuru.
Something like that.

Why?'Cause Maria's skull

was banged in by something
made out of cumuru wood.

BRENNAN:
There's dried blood and skin
on this post.

I caught Maria dancing
once, in the hallway.

She thought
no one was watching, but...

I was watching.

I had noticed her before.

She was, uh...

very pretty.

More than what these pictures
tell you.

Logan, I will say again

that I do not advise
answering questions.

You're not under arrest.

Perhaps you'd like to check
with the senator

and see if he'd rather
I'd officially arrested Logan

before asking these questions,

because I'm sure the press
would love that.

When did you start having

a sexual relationship
with Maria?

Perhaps six months ago.You kept it
a secret?

Maria was certain that...

if my parents found out
she'd be fired.

Are you aware that she was
in this country illegally.

I advise you, do not
answer that question.

Were you aware
that she was pregnant?

M-Maria was pregnant?

Logan, there's no proof

that you were
the father.

No, shut up.

Of course I'm the father.

[ crying]:
Oh, God.

[ sniffles]

What about the father?

A powerful man with lots to
lose, I mean, why kill her?

Why not have her deported
in the middle of the night?

That leaves Hector.

He's responsible for
hiring the servants.

I mean,
one of them gets pregnant,

he feels like it's
his mess to clean up.

We still can't figure
out how Maria's skull

was fractured
by the bedpost.

Well, that's sort of
your line of work, Bones, okay?

So, go have fun.

MONTENEGRO:
Your top three suspects are

Senator Corman,
six foot one,

Logan Corman,
five foot ten

and Hector Santiago,
five foot six.

Maria was five
foot one.

The bed is a California
king with seven-foot posts.

And assuming
that they argued

near the foot
of the bed...

Given their

relative heights, the angle
of impact doesn't match.

Her skull connects well below

where you found
the traces of blood.

What if they were
standing on the bed?

Well, it's high enough,
but her head struck

the outside of the post.

How tall would her assailant

have to be to
fit the evidence?

That... that's tall.

Seven foot eight.

Somebody you'd notice
around the house.

Let's think outside the box.

What do you mean--
like go non-human?

No. What else explains striking
the bedpost in that manner?

I guess... falling.

Falling?

Maria was a maid.

Do you have

a schematic version
of the room?

If she fell backwards...

But it doesn't explain
the damage done to her skull.

Okay, what force does
explain the damage?

206 pounds per square inch,

which means she would have had
to have fallen from a height

of... it's no good.

I know what happened.

She was yanked
off the ladder.

You mean somebody
pulled her off?

Yes. The missing 84 pounds
per square inch

can be explained by a hard yank
from a full-grown man.

I don't know if it's murder,

but someone is definitely
responsible for Maria's death.

This is not about the gang.

The gang had nothing
to do with her death.

Maria was pulled
off that ladder.

Who are you protecting?

I got nothing to say.

What did the senator
offer you, huh?

Asylum?

For the whole family?

BRENNAN:
I know what happened.

Your father
died of cancer.

around the same time,
your wife was pregnant.

You wanted your child to be
born an American citizen,

so you couldn't report
your father's death

for fear of
being deported.

You buried him yourself.

In the garden.

When your sister died,

you buried her
in the same place.

When my father died,
he said to me,

"You take care of your sister."

You joined Mara Muerte
so you can get fake papers,

so she could work
for the senator.

[ chuckling]:
Maria...

Maria, she was so angry she
would, she'd get so angry

sometimes she just
doesn't speak to me.

She didn't understand
what you had to do

for her and your family.

It was the only way for me
to keep my promise to my father.

Look at me now, huh?

All because I wanted to give
my sister and my father

a beautiful place to rest.

It's near... it's near a pond.

It's beautiful, huh?

It's all for nothing.

My family's ruined.

She didn't fall.

No, she was pushed.

No, Senator, actually
she was pulled,

probably off that ladder.

Pulled? Pulled by who?

Perhaps by your son
or the senator.

Oh, my God. I do not
pull maids off of ladders.

Mm. Will you please
open that up?

And, and why would they
do something like that?

Because Maria was
pregnant by your son.

What?

Even if that were true,

that is not how we
would handle the situation.

Yeah, you'd have her deported
in the middle of the night.

It would be handled,

and not by pulling
her off a ladder.

Senator, would you
mind reaching up?

What is that gonna prove?

Are you refusing, sir?

I'm trained in kinesiology,
the study of human movement.

Oh, and you're gonna
be able to tell

who pulled her off the ladder.

Absolutely, yes.

Oh, for God's sake,
Alan, just do it.

Just do it.

Fine.

Well?

Was it me?

Hector? Si?

Would you please pull me down
off this ladder?

No.

No, I won't.

Hector, just do

as she asks.

Hector.

How did it happen, Hector?

You told her to stay out
of Logan's room, didn't you?

You didn't approve.

You knew what was going on.Hector?

If it wasn't you,
just pull me down.

Maria defied you,
she went to Logan's room.

You got angry, you
pulled her off the ladder.

It was an accident.

Yeah.

It was an accident.

I can't believe that worked.

Psychology, Bones,
is a very powerful force.

I gave her $500
and I drove her home.

I-I thought she was
going to go to a doctor.

She was afraid she'd lose
her job and get deported.

You should
have told us.

You don't want to know.

You don't want to know
about any of this.

I know my job.

I know what you want.

Hector Alvarado,

I'm placing you
under arrest.

on suspicion of manslaughter.

[ handcuffs clicking]

Booth?

Yeah.

Message from the Gang
Task Force Unit.

Uh, Mara Muerte
has put a hit out

on your
lady scientist.

Oh, man.

You got a response?

Yeah, just tell 'em...

tell 'em I got the message.

Tell 'em thanks.

Sure.

[ speaking Spanish]

...Maria Duarte
y Augustin Duarte...

[ speaking Spanish]

This is nice of you.

Not many people would pay
for a funeral like this.

Where is Booth?

He said he'd come.

Are you crazy?
This is myneighborhood.

You put a hit out
on my partner?She's not FBI.

I never said anything about FBI.

She's my partner, ese.

and if anything
happens to her,

I will find you
and I will kill you.

I won't think twice.

Look at me.
Look in my eyes.

[ gun cocking]Look at my face.

If anything happens
to her, I will kill you.

This is between you and me.

Nobody sees, nobody knows.

You got nothing to prove.

Understand?

You understand?!

Uh...Yeah.

Now, if you don't mind,
I'll leave first

because I have somewhere
I have to be.

[ trigger clicks]

I will pay you back
for this funeral.

Don't worry about it.

It's my family.

It's myduty.

Aren't you leaving for
El Salvador tonight?

My child is an American.

He's...

He's not gonna grow up
the way that Rosa and I did.

[ speaking Spanish]

She says that we're
gonna bring him back.

I understand.

One way or another,

your son will have
a better life than you did.

Gracias.

Gracias.

[ panting]

Am I in trouble?

You're late
for a funeral.

Of course you're
in trouble.

BOOTH:
Sorry.

I apologize. I...

Everything okay here?

Where were you?

I had something to do.

More important than a funeral?

I thought so at the time.
