(Heartbeat pounding)
(Panting)
(Fence clanging)
(Hodgins) Help me!
(Brennan) Hodgins?!
Help me!
Hodgins!
Dr. Brennan! (Gasps)
Hodgins! Dr. Brennan, help me!
Hodgins!
Booth (Echoing, distorted): Bones... Bones... Bones!
Bones!
Booth! God!
Booth!
Stay with me.
(Murmuring)
Booth! (Pounding)
(Grunting)
(Groaning)
(Gasps)
(Yelling) Bones!
(Pounding)
(Muffled gasping)
Bones!
(Booth shouting)
(Gasps)
(Panting)
(Screaming)
(Sinister laughter)
Help!
(Gasps)
(Panting)
(Newscaster) The gravedigger 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 ten-year-old Terrence Gilroy,
who has never been found.
Testimony is expected from three kidnapping victims:
Seely Booth, an Agent with the FBI,
as well as scientist Jack Hodgins
and Temperance Brennan of the Jeffers...
(Booth) You okay, Bones?
Of course. Why wouldn't I be?
Well, you're about to come head to head
with the woman who tried to kill both of us.
So are you. Aren't you okay?
Sure. Yeah. You know, I'm just checkin' in.
I just want to make sure you're okay
and if you need anything, I...
It's just another case, Booth.
Right. Dad!
(Booth) Max?
What, 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.
(Booth) That's exactly why Caroline is here, all right?
We have five cases, multiple counts:
Bones, Hodgins, the ten-year-old boy...
whose body has never been found.
Your prosecutor's getting desperate.
Max, she knows what she's doing, okay?
I thought you were here for support, dad.
Okay, you 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.
(Booth) The 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 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.
(Taffet) 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.
(Judge) 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.
(Taffet) Thank you, your honor.
(Judge) This was not a personal favor, Ms. Taffet.
I am restrained by the law.
I'd like to move that all charges be dropped, your honor.
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?
(Sighs)
Yes, your honor.
Okay. The charges stand.
We're going to trial.
Court is adjourned.
(Gavel raps)
(Shackles jangling)
If you're so brilliant, Dr. Brennan,
why couldn't you find something
as simple as the number? Let's go, 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.
(computer trilling)
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. I mean,
her pathology is consistent;
this is all a game to her.
She won the first round, so now she's upping the stakes
by challenging Dr. Brennan.
Yeah, 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 have 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, it'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.
Come on. Look, they're gonna come up with something.
They always do, right?
Do you really believe that, cherie?
Well, they saved my life, remember?
And that was impossible.
I'll give you that one.
So, how's your girlfriend holding up?
She's fine.
She's not my girlfriend.
Oh, so those little looks between you...?
Nothing.
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.
(Gravedigger distorted) 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.
I mean, Sweets was right. You knew that.
I'm barely keeping it together here, Ang.
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...
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.
(Murmurs)
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, 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.
Well, she's representing herself,
so it couldn't be to a lawyer.
Who would she call in Salt Lake City?
Hmm... (Phone line ringing)
(Woman) Larry's pizza, how may I help you?
None of the employees at the pizza place
have a connection to Taffet, and...
none of them here have any criminal records.
Well, the phone records show
that Taffet hung up after ten 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.
(Montenegro) So, I'm running a numerical sequencing program to see
if there's a match with any of her victims.
But I'm coming up with nothing.
Oh, my God, the number is
a GPS location.
(Siren chirps)
(Booth) Let's go, everybody out.
Oh, God.
(Booth) Oh, God.
(Creaking)
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 going to 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.
(Alarm blaring) What are you talking about?
This is our chance to get some 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? (Hodgins) 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.
(Glove snaps loudly)
This better work.
(Footsteps receding)
I'll have the charges dismissed in the morning.
You can start right after that.
(Knocking at door)
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 day, too.
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 going to see the judge tomorrow morning at 10:00,
and then we can dive in on all this.
Thanks, Booth.
We're partners, it's what we do.
Right?
If Taffet is acquitted on this count,
she can never be tried again.
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.
Look, all right, you know what?
She's never gonna get the better of you, all right?
Just know that.
All right? I promise, okay?
(Brennan) 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 ten-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 that Terrence Gilroy was abducted.
The team at the Jeffersonian discovered
that the number Taffet called...
turned out to be the same GPS coordinates
as to where the boy was buried.
The same M.O., same ransom tape,
the 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?
(Caroline) 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.
(Taffet) 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.
(Sighs)
You know that Taffet's playing you, right?
We're fine, Max.
No, she's got you all on defense.
We got the boy, all right?
It's because she wanted you to. Every psycho takes
one step too far and hangs themself.
Not before a lot of innocent people get hurt.
I'll see you later.
(Knocking at door)
Hey, sorry to bother you.
You have a minute?
Yeah, sure.
(Sighs)
How's it going?
I don't know, actually.
That's why I'm here. I-I'm...
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 going to 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.
(Rifle cocking)
Max, you didn't think I was going to follow you?
(Grunting)
(Panting)
Max, is this what you want?
Don't trust the system, Booth.
You miss, you compromise the case, Taffet walks.
I don't miss! (Groans)
When are you gonna learn
to stop messing with me, huh?
You're making a big mistake.
Tempe could die.
Yeah, come on.
He tried to kill her?
Well, he had a rifle pointed right at her,
so you do the math. Why?
Why would he do that?
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 ringing)
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 over.
I have to go. Whoa. I've got a bad back.
You know what the beds are like in jail.
Good-bye, dad.
(Snaps phone shut)
Look, I'm sorry, Bones.
I'm sure this is the last thing you want to deal with.
Yeah.
Part of me wishes he'd done it.
Well, 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 recreation 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-- he put up a good fight, huh?
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.
He'd bite her? Yeah.
Ten-year-olds-- it's kind of their thing.
They bite.
I have to get back to the lab.
(Brennan) If the boy bit her, there should be some evidence
on his maxilla, mandible or his teeth.
(Hodgins) The teeth seem to have been cleaned.
Taffet probably wiped them off.
Second left premolar is chipped.
There might be some trace in the abrasion,
maybe some tissue from Heather Taffet.
Saliva contains amylase that would have
broken down any bits of tissue.
Not if it were imbedded between the teeth or under the gum line.
(Gravedigger) If I don't receive the money
in the numbered account
within eight hours, your child will die.
This is the last...
Okay, 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.
(Semi-distorted): if I don't receive the money
in the numbered account within eight hours,
(clear, female voice) your child will die.
This is the last time you will hear from me.
There will be no further... You did it, Angela.
It's Taffet.
Like to see her explain away that one.
(Taffet) 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.
(Caroline) Thank you.
No further questions.
(Taffet) 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 going to ask him to testify in court.
(Judge) That's enough, Ms. Taffet.
Do you have anything else for this witness?
Yes, your honor.
I'd like to introduce into evidence
item 461b,
which is a deconstruction of the same ransom tape
by former FBI special Agent Graham Steele,
who has a Ph.D.
in forensic auditory analysis
from the University of Pennsylvania.
(Montenegro) If I don't receive the money in the numbered account
within eight hours, your child will die.
(Montenegro) Th-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.
(Taffet) Whatever the technical jargon,
it seems clear that anyone,
even someone without any credentials,
can make one voice sound like another.
(Caroline) Objection!
Counsel is making speeches.
Sustained. (Taffet) I'm sorry, your honor.
No further questions.
Hey, 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, that's good and all,
but Taffet's kind of had a field day,
you know, trashing the whole
technical goobledy stuff.
And the jury seems 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.
(Brennan) 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.
(Taffet) No objection, as long as it's also noted
that eight percent of the general population
is also left-handed.
Including you, your honor.
(Gallery chuckles)
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.
(Judge) 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 five feet, four 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 five-foot-four 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.
(Taffet) Dr. Brennan,
don't you think your trauma as a kidnapping victim
prevents you from being objective?
(Caroline) Objection.
She is testifying as an expert witness, not a victim.
She brought up being buried alive, your honor.
(Judge) 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 FBI 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 FBI
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.
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.
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 DNA.
(Hodgins) This is a
dermatophagoides farinae. (Caroline) 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 mite contained human female epithelial cells.
We extracted those cells
and ran them through several DNA databases.
The cells belonged to Heather Taffet.
Nothing 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 DNA
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.
(Caroline) I've just about had it
with your snide, unsubstantiated allegations.
As have I. That's enough, Ms. Julian.
(Taffet) Your honor, I would like to file a motion
to have this unverifiable DNA 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--
it's going to 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 a... 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 murders
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 sec.
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? And tomorrow,
when we have won, everything will be perfect.
It'll be fine.
(Caroline) We are here to seek justice
for this ten 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 DNA
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 am innocent.
Thank you.
What'd I tell you, huh? Caroline nailed it in there.
Taffet was pretty convincing in there, too. You know what, Hodgins?
You ever see the bright side in things?
(Hodgins) You know what, Booth? You're right.
Because no matter what happens in there,
I've got Angela. (Montenegro) Hodgins.
(Hodgins) It's okay.
I don't care, Angie.
Look, Taffet's not going to make the rules anymore.
I want our friends to know.
I want everybody to know. Okay.
Angela and I are married.
What? (Others murmuring and gasping)
Ohh...
Hey, look at that, huh?
What? When, Ang?
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.
(Sweets) So...
Why were you hiding this from us?
Oh, I was having trouble dealing with things
because of the trial.
Then I thought...
screw it.

(Max) 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.
All right, let's just raise our glasses here.
To the squints, okay? Come on. To Booth.
Hey! Oh, and Caroline.
Hear, hear. Hear, hear.
You know, I never doubted any of you-- not for a minute.
(Booth) Where'd you come from? Oh, come on.
Oh, please.
(Laughter)
Okay, let's not forget the happy couple
over here.
(Brennan) Yes, best wishes
for a successful blending of familial obligations,
as well as monetary
and property consolidation.
What?
(Cheering and laughter)
(Saroyan) Congratulations!
(Indistinct chatter)
(Sighs)
I guess I'll go home.
A real bed is probably going to 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.
(Booth) Thanks for leaving me with the bill again.
That's nice of you.
Your fault, Booth.
My wallet got stolen in jail.
Yeah. Bye.
Can't believe they actually got hitched.
(Brennan) I know.
I have this sense that everything's changing, Booth.
Well, not everything.
Look-- we're still partners.
Right?
And-and Taffet...
She's... she's put away.
I mean, you're feeling good about that, right?
You almost died, Booth.
That can happen again.
What if, next time, I can't get to you?
It's not going to 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.
Come on, let's just go back inside
and have one more drink. Come on.
Just one. No. I'm tired, Booth.
I-I-I'm going to go home.
(Sighs) All right. Come on.
Let's... we'll get you in the cab.
I know, it's... it's been a long, long day.
All right, get in there, all right?
Hey.
I'll see you tomorrow, all right?
