The Grave Digger case
finally begins today...

with an evidentiary hearing.

The defendant, prominent
federal prosecutor
Heather Taffet,

will be defending herself
against multiple charges
of kidnapping and murder.

One charge involves
10-year-old Terrence Gilroy,

who has never been found.

Testimony is expected from
three kidnapping victims--

Seeley Booth,
an agent with the F.B.I.,

as well as scientists
Jack Hodgins
and Temperance Brennan...

of the Jefferso--

- You okay, Bones?
- Of course. Why wouldn't I be?

Well, we're about to come
head-to-head with the woman
who tried to kill both of us.

So are you. Are you okay?Sure. Yeah. You know,
I'm just checkin' in.

Just wanna make sure
you're okay, and,
if you need anything, I'm--

It's just another case,
Booth.Right.

- Dad!
- Max.

- What are you doing here?
- I just thought you should
have a little support...

from somebody who's been through
the legal system a few times.

Why is everyone
treating me like a child?

Because I don't want you
to get your hopes up.

- This is far from a slam dunk.
- That's exactly why Caroline
is here, right?

We have five cases,
multiple counts-- Bones,
Hodgins, the 10-year-old boy.

Whose body
has never been found.

Your prosecutor's
getting desperate.

Max, she knows
what she's doing.

I thought you were here
for support, Dad.

Okay,
we all ready
to play nice?

Always, Your Honor.

Your Honor, since
I'm representing
myself,

I'd like to request that
my shackles be removed
while I'm in court.

This is only an
evidentiary hearing, Your Honor.
There's no jury to prejudice.

And frankly,
I feel a bit more secure
with her in chains.

Spare us
the dramatic flourishes,
Ms. Julian.

When we go to trial,
we can revisit the request,
Ms. Taffet. First witness.

Burn marks were found
on the victims...

that were consistent
with injuries
one would sustain...

from a three-million-volt
stun gun.

Stun gun was found
in the suspect's storage locker.

It matches the stun gun that
was used in the attack on me,
as well as the other victims.

The suspect's steel-toed boots
were also found
in the storage locker.

This storage locker was found
with information obtained
illegally, wasn't it?

[ Saroyan ]
We didn't know that
at the time, Your Honor.

We obtained a legal warrant
to search the locker.

The fact that Agent Booth's
brother gave you the lead
didn't make you suspicious?

He was an officer assigned
to Homeland Security.

We had no reason to question
the information he provided.

The warrant was obtained
without malice. That's irrelevant, Your Honor.

Everything found
in that storage locker
should be dismissed.

I submit that a warrant
wasn't even necessary.

Under precedent
of imminent danger,

law authority had the duty
to enter that storage locker
without a valid warrant.

Agent Booth's life
was in danger.

Imminent danger applies
only if law enforcement...

hears a violent threat
or struggle at the scene.

I'm sorry, Ms. Julian,
but no matter how pure
the intention,

the warrant
was obtained illegally.

Therefore, any and all evidence
gathered during the search
and seizure is inadmissible.

- Thank you, Your Honor.
- This was not a personal favor,
Ms. Taffet.

I am restrained by the law.

- I'd like to move that
all charges be dropped.
- You'd like that, wouldn't you?

We still have dirt samples
from the crime scene,
the ransom tapes.

Your Honor, this is
a waste of the court's time
and the taxpayers' money.

If I lose, I'll send everyone
a note of apology.

You aren't left
with much, Ms. Julian.

Are you sure
you want to proceed?

[ Exhales ]

Yes, Your Honor.

Okay. The charges stand.
We're going to trial.

- Court is adjourned.
- [ Gavel Raps ]

You're so brilliant,
Dr. Brennan.

Why couldn't you find
something as simple
as the number?

[ Guard ]
Come on.

You all right?
What'd she say to you?

She says I missed
some evidence.

- Evidence?
- She doesn't think
I can find it.

Booth is getting
her arrest records...

as well as old case files
from when she was a prosecutor.

Okay, uh, I'm pulling
every record we have so far
associated with Taffet.

Social security numbers,
birth dates, blood test results.

- Ages of the victims?
- Got those.

I'm using a recursive
search algorithm, which analyzes
and cross-references the data.

Since they're related,

any inconsistencies
can raise a red flag.

I think Taffet is just
messing with us again.

[ Sweets ]
No, I have to disagree.

Her pathology's consistent.
This is all a game to her.

She won the first round,
so now she's upping the stakes
by challenging Dr. Brennan.

Or maybe she knows there's
something in the soil samples
we already have,

so she's just trying
to distract us.

You analyzed
those soil samples
a hundred times.

- Are you telling me
to give up, Sweets?
- No. Of course not.

But I mean,
I understand the need
to cling to anything.

- Cling? Okay. So I'm crazy now?
- That's not what I meant.

Go, Dr. Hodgins.

Look at the soil again.
You might find something.

You know,
he still gets nightmares.

Says he wakes up in a sweat. [ Sweets ] I should've
been more sensitive.

- This must be difficult
for you too. If you need any--
- I'm fine.

What about the weight and size
of the victim's remains?

Yeah. That's a good idea.
I'll check it out.

[ Clears Throat ]

Here are the first set
of documents you asked for.

More numbers than I've
ever seen in my life.Right. Thanks.

You okay?Oh, you mean because
this case is a career killer?

I'm cute.
I can always find a job.

Look, they're gonna
come up with something.
They always do, right?

Do you really
believe that, chéri?They saved my life, remember?

That was impossible.I'll give you that one.

So how's your girlfriend
holding up?

Oh, she's fine.
And she's not
my girlfriend.

Oh! So those little looks
between you?

Nothin'.Right.

I hope you're more believable
on the stand.

Have Angela run these numbers
as quickly as she can.

The judge isn't gonna give me
more than a day.

[ Distorted Voice ]
If I don't receive the money
in the numbered account...

within eight hours,
your child will die.

This is the last time
you will hear from me.

There will be no
further communications.

What happened
to the numbers?

Well, I came up dry.
Brennan and Booth are
compiling another set.

But until then, I'm trying
to drag Taffet's voice
from these ransom tapes.

Well, any luck? She used a variable-band
inversion,

so the wave is broken up
into hundreds of small sections,

each section
scrambled with different
frequency sequencing.

You didn't ask me
if I found anything new
in the soil samples.

- Did you?
- No. Of course not.

Sweets was right.
You knew that.

I'm barely keeping it
together here, Ange.

Well, you were, uh--
you were sane enough
to marry me.

But I don't feel
strong enough
to tell anybody yet.

I feel like she's still
got me locked up, you know?

I mean, when I see her,
there's just this, um, anger.

I mean, this kind of
helplessness that--Oh, I know, I know.

When I was buried
in that car,

I didn't think I was ever
gonna see you again.

And now I feel like
she's still in between us.Well, she's not.

Look at me. She's not.

Nobody can get between us.

Come on, Bones.
You've been at it for hours.
You gotta eat something.

In a little while.

Her old court documents from
when she was a prosecutor...

have case numbers,
criminal code numbers,
and then there are zip codes.

Well, that's great and all,
but you know what?

It's not gonna be any good
if you starve yourself to death.

She was laughing
at me, Booth.

I-I can't let her win.She won't.

You hope.

She may be amoral,
but she is brilliant.

Well, you're more brilliant.

What if her dispassion
makes her more logical?

What if that gives her
an advantage over me?Wait a second.

Now you're upset because you're
not more like a psychopath?

I just think...

maybe I've lost my advantage
because of all the people
I'm involved with now.

All of the relationships--
they complicate logical thought.

You don't mean that.

Could we please
just work?

Sure.

Salt Lake City?What?

When they arrested Taffet,
she used her one phone call
from jail to Salt Lake City.

Area code 801.

She's representing herself,
so it couldn't be to a lawyer.

[ Beeping ] Who would she call
in Salt Lake City?

Hmm. [ Line Ringing ]

[ Woman ]
Larry's Pizza.
How may I help you?

None of the employees
at the pizza place have
a connection with Taffet.

None of them here
have any criminal records.

Well, the phone records show
that Taffet hung up
after 10 seconds.

She didn't request
another call.

Angela's matching the number
with a numerical
sequencing program.

This is the number, Booth.
This has to be the number.

[ Angela ]
So I'm running a numerical
sequencing program...

to see if there's a match
with any of our victims,

but I'm coming up
with nothing.

Oh, my God. The number
is a G.P.S. location.

[ Beeping ]

[ Horn Beeping ]Let's go. Everybody out.

Oh, God.

[ Booth ]
Oh, God.

[ Metal Scraping ]

It's the kid, isn't it?

Terrence Gilroy had
a remodeled right ulna...

from a break
when he was eight.

This is the boy
she kidnapped.

I'm gonna call the parents. Why did she lead us
here, Booth?

Why did she want us
to find him?

- [ Caroline ]
Hands off!
- Ma'am?

No one touches a thing.[ Alarms Beeping ]

[ Hodgins ]
What are you talking about?

This is our chance to get hard
evidence they can't dismiss.Not if you touch it.

You can't act
as an expert witness in a case
when you are also a victim.

We aren't victims
in this crime.

We filed one complaint
with seven counts.

Since the trial started,
you and Dr. Brennan are
linked to all the crimes.

That's why Taffet wanted us
to find the boy.

She knows we're the only people
who have the skills
to connect her to the crime.

And now our hands are tied.

Not if you drop our case.

Excuse me?

If Caroline doesn't prosecute
our kidnappings,

we'd be free to testify
as expert witnesses
in the boy's case.

- You'd be willing to do that?
- No. No.

Caroline has to
prosecute our case.

Taffet tried to kill us.

All of our evidence
has been thrown out.

The rational thing to do
is to pursue a case
with fresh, untainted evidence.

Are you kidding me?

Is it really that easy for you
to forget what happened to us?

I will never forget
what happened to us...

or to Booth or this boy.

You are not the only one
suffering, Dr. Hodgins.

But your emotions
have no relevance, not if
we want to convict Taffet.

[ Gloves Snapping ]

This better work.

I'll have the charges
dismissed in the morning.

You can start
right after that.

[ Knocking ]

Okay. So the Gilroy kid,
he was last seen at the
Rockland Mall on June 23.

I'm gonna check all
Taffet's credit card records
for that date too.

Well, Caroline said you
can't give expert testimony
if she's prosecuting your case.

I told Caroline
to drop my charges too.

I'm not gonna let you
do this alone.

She's gonna see the judge
tomorrow morning at 10:00, and
then we can dive in on all this.

Thanks, Booth.We're partners.
That's what we do.

Right?

If Taffet is acquitted
on this count,

she can never
be tried again.

I mean, maybe that's why
she wanted us to find the boy.

Yeah, well, she's arrogant,
like Sweets said.

And she's misjudging you.

I have nightmares, Booth.

Hodgins is bleeding,

you're drowning.

I-I can't help anyone.

All right. You know what?
She's never gonna get
the better of you, all right?

Just know that.

All right?
I promise, okay?

These are perimortem fractures
bilaterally...

on the fifth, sixth
and seventh ribs...

on the posterior
axillary lines.

And injuries
to the greater cornu...

and the left lateral thyroid
and cricoid cartilages.

I see injuries like this
in victims
who've been strangled.

Perhaps he struggled,
and Taffet was trying
to subdue him.

Taffet Tasered
all her victims.
Three million volts.

That should be enough
to knock out a 10-year-old boy
for at least a few hours.

He wasn't unconscious.
These are defensive wounds...

consistent with the boy
resisting being placed in
the freezer, arms outstretched.

I'll take samples
from under his fingernails.

Maybe he scratched her
during the struggle.

Maybe she knew
the facts in this case...

wouldn't be consistent
with the other crimes...

and would give her
reasonable doubt.

We have evidence
from credit card charges...

that the defendant was
at the Rockland mall on the day
Terrence Gilroy was abducted.

The team at the Jeffersonian
discovered that the number
Taffet called...

turned out to be
the same G.P.S. coordinates...

as to where the boy was buried.

Same M.O., same ransom tape,

same demands
as the other kidnappings.

Do you have any evidence
that the Gilroy boy
was abducted from the mall?

- It was the last place
he was seen.
- So, no.

Did anyone else
make any purchases at the mall
that day, or was it just me?

- Of course they did, but--
- As for the phone call
that I allegedly made,

is it possible
that the number was placed
in my file by mistake?

- Objection! Conjecture.
- Sustained.

Did you know that the officer
on duty the night I was arrested
was from Salt Lake?

- Answer the question,
Agent Booth.
- No.

Isn't it more likely
that he made that call...

and the number was placed
in my file by mistake?

Objection.
Conjecture again.

I thought it was
reasonable doubt.
Very reasonable.

- Your Honor--
- Withdrawn.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

[ Exhales ]

You know that Taffet's
playing you, right?

We're fine, Max.No, she's got you all
on defense.

- We got the boy.
- That's 'cause
she wanted you to.

Every psycho
takes one step too far
and hangs himself.

Not before a lot
of innocent people get hurt.

I'll see you later.

[ Knocking ]

Hey. Sorry to bother you.
You have a minute?

Yeah, sure.

- How's it goin'?
- I don't know actually.

That's why I'm here.
I, um--

I'm worried,
Dr. Sweets.

I-I-- This case is taking
its toll on everyone.

Including you?Including me, yes.

It's a very
stressful situation.

I mean, you're not
immune to that.

I feel like everything's
fraying around the edges.

We're all searching
for some piece of evidence
that can put Taffet away.

But we keep coming up empty.
Everyone feels manipulated
by her.

And I-I should be able
to pull everyone together,

keep them on track.

You want to guarantee
the outcome.

I wish that were possible.

But you know, we knew this
was gonna be an uphill battle.

But did we really
believe that?

We all knew she was guilty,
so someplace,

we assumed
that in a just world,
she'd pay for what she did.

That assumes a just world,
I'm afraid.

These... are my people
she hurt, my friends.

I should...

be able to do something.

I know.

[ Gate Buzzes ]

Max! You didn't think
I was gonna follow you?

[ Grunts ]

- Max, is this what you want?
- Don't trust the system, Booth.

You miss, you compromise
the case, Taffet walks.

- I don't miss!
- [ Grunts ]

When are you gonna learn
to stop messin' with me, huh?

You're making a big mistake.
Tempe could die.

Okay, up. Come on.

He tried to kill her?He had a rifle pointed right
at her, so you do the math.

Why?
Why would he do that?Well, to protect you.

And a career criminal like Max,
he obviously doesn't trust
the legal system.

I'm sorry, Booth.
I wish he were different.Yeah, me too.

You know, he socked me
in the eye too.

[ Cell Phone Rings ]Brennan.

Hey, honey.
I need you to bail me out.

What? No, Dad!

I was doing it for you.

No, I don't want you
to kill people for me.

- Just buy me a sweater
like a regular dad.
- Leave her alone, Max.

Booth says you're
not getting out until
after the trial is over.

I have to go.Whoa, whoa.
I've got a bad back.

You know what the beds
are like in jail.Good-bye, Dad.

[ Phone Beeps ]

Look, I'm sorry, Bones.
I'm sure this is the last
thing you wanna deal with.

Yeah.

A part of me wishes
he'd done it.

Not the good part,
so let's just keep
our eye on the ball.

So, any news about the boy?

I'm getting an accurate
re-creation of the assailant...

from the fracture patterns
on his remains,
and it's a match for Taffet.

I'm putting a presentation
together for court.

- The kid put up a good fight?
- There's evidence of strong
resistance, yes.

Yeah, at least
he didn't go easy.
Parker, he'd do the same thing.

Probably bite her ear off
and run.

What, he'd bite her? Yeah.

Ten-year-olds--
it's kinda their thing.

- Bite.
- I have to get back
to the lab.

If the boy bit her, there should
be some evidence on his maxilla,
mandible or his teeth.

The teeth seem
to have been cleaned.
Taffet probably wiped them off.

The second left premolar
is chipped.

There might be some trace
in the abrasion,

maybe some tissue
from Heather Taffet.

Saliva contains amylase.
It would have broken down
any bits of tissue.

Not if it were embedded between
the teeth or under the gum line.

If I don't receive the money
in the numbered account
within eight hours,

your child will die.

This is the last--

This encryption
is a rolling-code,
split-band voice inversion.

Individual frequencies
between the clicks
are inverted and recombined.

I applied software
that decrypts each
of the 423 separate segments...

until the voice
becomes clear.

If I don't receive the money
in the numbered account
within eight hours--

[ Taffet's Voice ]
your child will die.

This is the last time
you will hear from me.

There will be no
further communications.You did it, Angela.

It's Taffet.I'd like to see her
explain away that one.

If I don't receive the money
in the numbered account
within eight hours,

your child will die.

This is the last time
you will hear from me.

There will be no
further communications.

And in your expert opinion,
Ms. Montenegro,
whose voice is that?

It's Heather Taffet.

The frequency
and vocal patterns
are an exact match...

when compared to unencrypted
recordings of her voice.

Thank you.
No further questions.

That was very impressive,
Ms. Montenegro.

Could you share
your credentials
with the court?

I have a bachelor of fine arts
from the University of Texas...

with a minor
in computer science...

and I've also studied
biomedical illustration
at American University.

But you do not have a degree
in sound engineering,
is that correct?

- No.
- [ Caroline ]
Objection.

Ms. Montenegro has
numerous patents pending...

from her work
in auditory forensic
reconstruction.

The homeless man on my street
has a patent pending
for a time machine.

- That doesn't mean I'm gonna
ask him to testify in court.
- That's enough, Ms. Taffet.

Do you have anything else
for this witness?

Yes, Your Honor.
I'd like to introduce
into evidence item 461-B...

which is a deconstruction
of the same ransom tape...

by former F.B.I.
Special Agent Graham Steele,

who has a Ph.D.
in forensic auditory
analysis...

from the University
of Pennsylvania.

[ Angela's Voice ]
If I don't receive the money
in the numbered account...

within eight hours,
your child will die.

That isn't me. He obviously
manipulated the pitch and
the timbre of the voice.

- Isn't that what you did?
- No.

Those sound waves
have an underlying pattern
of frequency modulation--

like a fingerprint.

Whatever the technical jargon,
it seems clear...

that anyone, even someone
without any credentials,

can make one voice
sound like another.

- Objection!
Counsel is making speeches.
- Sustained.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.
No further questions.

Okay. Bones,
you ready for court? Yes.

I have a video presentation,
which shows the victim
sustained rib fractures...

as well as a fracture
of the lateral epicondyle
of the left distal.

What do you say we ease up
on the scientific stuff, okay?

The science gives us
the height of the assailant--

162 centimeters,
Taffet's height.

That's--
That's good and all,

but Taffet's kind of had
a field day trashing the whole
technical "gooble-geek" stuff.

And the jury seemed
to like her for it.But those are the facts.

It's how you present the facts
that win or lose a case.

Bones, the jury needs to know
what that little boy
went through.

I've-- I've testified
before, Booth.

I'll be fine.
We-We should go.

Okay.

Terrence Gilroy's
left greater cornu
of the hyoid was compressed,

indicating that the assailant
strangled the young boy
using only one hand--

the dominant left hand,
in this case.

[ Caroline ]
I'd like to submit
writing samples...

which confirm
that the defendant
is left-handed.

No objection, as long as it's
also noted that eight percent
of the general population...

is also left-handed,
including you, Your Honor.

[ Spectators Chuckling ]

Continue.

The victim sustained
a fracture...

of the lateral epicondyle
and the shaft...

of the left distal humerus.

Perhaps I can be clearer.

Terrence Gilroy's bones
could only have been broken...

by someone kneeling
on top of him as they
pushed him into the freezer.

The radiating
fracture lines show...

that this assailant had to be
between 125 and 135 pounds--

the weight of the defendant.

Objection.
This is speculation.

Are you questioning
my qualifications?

Because you will not find
a more experienced...

or respected
forensic anthropologist
anywhere in the world.

So I'd appreciate
not being interrupted
until I finish testifying.

Dr. Brennan.
I'll make the rulings here.

Overruled. Continue.

Since these broken bones
were caused by
the assailant's knees...

and the chipping on
the boy's kneecaps was caused
by the toes of her heavy boots,

we can determine
the length of her shin.

And what is the significance
of the shin length?

It gives us the height
of the assailant...

which is
5 feet 4 inches,

the same height
as the defendant.

It is clear from
the circumstantial evidence
and these facts...

that this child
was attacked with vicious
cruelty by Ms. Taffet.

Objection. The jury
makes that determination,
not the witness.

The 5-foot-4 assailant...

crushed the boy's chest,

choked him...

and finally caused him
a torturous death
by burying him alive.

Objection! Speculation.
She can't know what
the "witness" felt.

I was buried alive,

which makes me
uniquely qualified
to comment on its horror.

Objection, Your Honor!
This is grandstanding.

Unless the witness
has any additional facts--

Sustained.

Do you have any further
questions for Dr. Brennan,
Ms. Julian?

No, Your Honor.
I learned everything
I need to know.

Your witness.

Dr. Brennan,
don't you think your trauma
as a kidnapping victim...

prevents you
from being objective?

Objection! She is testifying
as an expert witness,
not a victim.

She brought up
being buried alive.

She did, Ms. Julian.
Overruled.

It's only natural
that you would want
to construct facts...

that would give you
some closure and peace.

I resent your implication.
I do not let my emotions
cloud my findings.

No, not intentionally,
of course.

- Is there a question coming?
- Yes. Sorry.

Dr. Brennan, you are
currently seeing an F.B.I.
psychologist, are you not?

What-- That has nothing
to do with--

A yes or no
is all that's required,
Dr. Brennan.

Are you currently seeing
an F.B.I. psychologist?

- Yes, but--
- Thank you.
No further questions.

No, that has nothing
to do with this case.
My findings are sound.

You may step down,
Dr. Brennan.

My findings are sound.

- [ Saroyan ] A dust mite?
- So that little bug
is gonna save us?

Oh, don't call him a bug.
It sounds insulting.

We reexamined
the boy's teeth...

and found it
wedged between the right
lateral incisor and canine.

Dust mites eat
dead human skin cells,

and this one's stomach sac
is full.

[ Saroyan ] If the boy
bit Taffet, the skin cells
are probably hers.

Whatever's left is gonna
be small, but there might be
enough to give us D.N.A.

This is
aDermatophagoides farinae.

For those of us
who don't speak insect,
what is that exactly?

It's a dust mite,
an insect found on clothes.

But it also feeds
on the cells of the person
wearing those clothes.

[ Caroline ]
And where was this
dust mite found?

Between
Terrence Gilroy's teeth.

It was transferred there
when the boy bit the person
who kidnapped him.

And how do we know that?

The dust mites
contained human female
epithelial cells.

We extracted those cells
and ran them through several
D.N.A. databases.

The cells belong
to Heather Taffet.

Nothin' further, Your Honor.

Your witness, Ms. Taffet.

It seems that you have
neglected to include...

a sample of the evidence
that I could have tested
independently.

Since there were so few cells
in the mite, the testing
destroyed the sample,

but the procedures and results
are all contained
in our documentation.

Let me get this right.

I have access to your notes,
but I can't examine
the actual evidence...

because you destroyed it?

Your Honor,
in California versus Trombetta,

the Supreme Court ruled that
the prosecution could destroy
a sample to test for D.N.A....

because there was
no bad faith.

Bad faith? The motives
of every single person
at the Jeffersonian are suspect.

And now their only
physical evidence is gone,
if it existed at all.

I've just about had it
with your snide,
unsubstantiated allegations.

- As have I.
- That's enough, Ms. Julian.

Your Honor, I would like
to file a motion...

to have this unverifiable
D.N.A. evidence dismissed.

Protocol has been followed,
Ms. Taffet.

It's up to the jury to decide
how the evidence will figure
in the outcome of this case.

Your motion is denied.

Did you see Taffet's face?
She was completely blindsided,
okay?

Caroline's closing
is gonna kill.

All right?
So, here we go.

That's it. Huh?

Are you okay, Bones?
Your team just nailed Taffet.

I'm just tired.

Yeah. Yeah, it's been--
it's been a tough case.

It's not just the case.

I'm tired of-- of all of it.

I'm tired of dealing with
murderers and victims...

and sadness and pain.

Well, Bones,
that's what we do.

All right, we catch
the bad people and we make
the world a better place.

No, Booth. That's what you do.

And somehow,
I got caught up into it.Wait a second. Hold on.

You were dealing
with dead people
long before we got together.

As a researcher,
an anthropologist.

That's how I can make
the world a better place.

And you do. Come on.
You make the world
a great place.

Hey. Cheers to that.
All right?

You're just anxious.
All right?

Tomorrow, when we have won,
everything will be perfect.
You'll be fine.

We are here to seek justice
for this 10-year-old boy...

who was kidnapped,

brutally beaten
and buried alive
by Heather Taffet.

Taffet was seen
where this child
was abducted.

She matches the size
of the assailant.

She's left-handed.

Her voice was discovered
on the ransom tapes.

It all sounds
very reasonable,
doesn't it?

These so-called facts...

were compiled by people
who themselves were victims
of a vicious criminal...

who has not yet been caught.

They need a scapegoat.

But only Heather Taffet
could have the D.N.A...

that was found
in this child's mouth.

That evidence was delivered
to us in death
by this brave boy.

And yet the only people
who saw that dust mite,

the only people who touched
the alleged epithelial cells...

were two kidnap victims--

one, a known
conspiracy theorist,

the other, a traumatized
anthropologist...

who's currently being treated
by a psychologist--

and Dr. Saroyan,
who couldn't perform her job
without destroying the evidence,

conveniently preventing me
from mounting a defense.

Because she has no defense
except slandering
these experts.

They have told you
what Heather Taffet
did to that boy.

The law is clear.

You cannot convict a person
based on innuendo...

or groundless accusations.

I weep for that boy.
No child should suffer
like that.

And whoever did this--

Should never be allowed to walk
among decent people again.

For that boy, for justice,
you must return a verdict of--

Not guilty...

because it's clear
that I am a scapegoat.

I'm innocent.

Thank you.

What'd I tell you, huh?
Caroline nailed it in there.

Taffet was pretty convincing
in there too.

- You ever see
the bright side in things?
- You know what? You're right.

Because no matter
what happens in there,
I've got Angela.

Hodgins!It's okay.

I don't care, Angie.
Look, Taffet's not gonna
make the rules anymore.

- I want our friends to know.
I want everybody to know.
- [ Angela ] Okay.

[ Clears Throat ]
Angela and I are married.

[ Sweets ]
Oh! All right!What?

- Oh!
- Hey, look at that, huh?

What? When, Ange?In jail.

Hodgins wanted to wait
until this was over...

so everybody could be
happy for us.

This isn't another
pregnancy scare, is it?No. No.

This is-- This is love.

So, why were you
hiding this from us?

I was having trouble
dealing with things
because of the trial,

but then I thought,
screw it.

The jury's back.

I was out of town
for a couple of days.

Well, I knew Tempe had
everything under control.
She didn't need me.

Uh-huh.Let's just raise our glasses
here. To the squints, okay?

To Booth!And Caroline.

Hear! Hear!
I never doubted any of you,
not for a minute.

[ Booth ]
Where'd you come from, huh?Come on!

[ Grumbling ]

Let's not forget
the happy couple.
Over here.

Yes, best wishes
for a successful blending
of familial obligations...

as well as monetary
and property consolidation.

What?

[ Cheering ]

[ Laughing ]Congratulations!

[ Laughing Continues ]

[ Sighs ]
I guess I'll go home.

A real bed is probably
gonna feel good.

I'm sorry that I, uh--
that I doubted you.

Sweets would say
that, subconsciously,
you wanted Booth to catch you...

so you and I wouldn't
have to be separated again.

Smart guy that Sweets.
I love you, honey.

Thanks for leaving me
with the bill again.
That's nice of you.

It's your fault, Booth.
My wallet got stolen
in jail.

Bye.I can't believe they
actually got hitched.

[ Brennan ] I know.[ Hodgins ]
Thank you, guys.

Thank you.

I have the sense
that everything's
changing, Booth.

Not everything.
Look, we're still
partners, right?

And Taffet, she's put away.
I mean, you're feeling good
about that, right?

You almost died, Booth.
That could happen again.

What if next time
I can't get to you?It's not gonna happen again.

I envy your ability...

to substitute optimism
for reality.

You know what?
Maybe you just need
to take some time off--

go to a beach,
lay in the sun.

I might need more
than a little time.

Don't make any decisions
about your future right now.I'm just saying--

You know when a dentist
gives you anesthetic...

and tells you not to operate
any heavy machinery...

or make any
important decisions
within 24 hours?

All right,
this case was bigger
than a root canal.

Let's just go back inside
and have one more drink
for the road.

Come on, just one.I'm tired, Booth.
I-I'm gonna go home.

[ Sighs ]
All right. Come on.
Let's get you in the cab.

I know.
It's-- It's been
a long, long day.

Come on, get in there.
All right?

Hey, I'll see you
tomorrow, right?

What's that mean?
