Bones

Cops say the body washed up on the bay. It could be Carlie Richardson.

- And I'm supposed to know who that is? - Yeah. Disappeared a year ago.

She was pregnant. Oh, come on, Bones. You have to get a TV, you know?

Oh, hey, or at least just, uh, hey, thumb through a People at the checkout stand.

Was it in the Journal of Forensic Anthropology?

Oh, you know, I forgot to renew my subscription.

You know what? You really need to take up other interests.

I'm reading Ted Gioia's History ofJazz. Was she mentioned in there?

Or maybe in McGee's Science and Lore of the Kitchen?

Or perhaps I should develop an interest in the mainstream media's...

exploitation of crimes for their entertainment value.

You know, it's amazing, Bones. You can really be snotty sometimes.

- So, Carlie Richardson? - Carlie Richardson, newlywed.

Everyone assumed that she was murdered.

Husband was cheating on her. There was evidence that they had a fight that day.

He was covered in scratches. Witnesses said that they saw him down by the marina.

Yeah, but, hey, you know, without the body, they had to kick him free.

Well, if she's been in the water for a year, the bones will be saturated.

I'll need nylon mesh bagging and-

Cam's bringing in everything on the truck.

After a year, there's not gonna be a lot of flesh for Cam.

Well, you know, hey, Bones, you know, Cam is-

She's in charge now. She runs the place. It's her call.

- Then let's hurry. I don't want my remains compromised. - Okay. #

I don't care if she's the boss.

- The bones belong to me. - Hey. Oh.

Booth. Oh, yeah. Rebecca.

Whoa, wait a second. Slow down, okay?

This is my weekend with Parker, okay? I am his father.

All right? "Stu" is your boyfriend.

We're gonna be in the water. Remember to bring Traxon and soluble tape.

- Does she think I am new at this? I developed the use ofTraxon-

- On the phone, Bones. - I know. Get off. We have to go.

It's- Rebecca, he's spending a lot of time with Parker, and I don't even know this guy.

- She took Zack. Zack's mine. - Because you know what?

I just- I just want to make sure that he's a good influence.

The fact that he, you know, rocks your- rocks your world, surprisingly, that...

really, you know, doesn't concern-

- I'll just meet you there. - Doesn't concern me.

I- I gotta run. Okay, Rebecca? We'll talk about this later.

Bones, wait up.

Why can't you go faster?

I don't see why I couldn't drive.

- Because you're agitated. - I am not.

You've turned this into a competition between you and Cam.

I just like to be first on the scene. That's all. To protect the evidence.

She's not going to disturb anything.

No, it's all tissue and blood and D.N.A. with her.

She doesn't appreciate the skeletal system.

You could take the I-70. It'll be quicker.

- Don't backseat drive, okay? - Oh. I think I know who's agitated.

Someone is annoying me, okay?

- That's different. - Your ex.

- Huh? - That's who's annoying you, because she has a new man in her life.

That's funny, you know? Okay, I am concerned about my son.

I want to know what kind of guy this new boyfriend is.

You know what? If she's not gonna tell me, I'll find out on my own.

- Are you gonna run a background check on him? - You have kids and we'll talk.

That's a lot to ask for a little conversation.

- If you make a right, we can cut through Grafton. - Fine.

We have no information right now.

Go ahead, 114.

She beat us here. She was in a truck.

- You're the one who wanted to go through Grafton. - You could've used the siren.

- Why do you have one if you're not gonna use it? - What's that smell?

Zack, I need some sterile tubes before she's fertilizer.

Okay, that's the smell.

Caucasian, female, 25 to 30.

And barnacle and small mussel incrustation...

indicates she's been in the water for about a year.

Mm-mmm. They have.

God.

Size of the fetal bones indicates the fetus was viable.

- How could someone do this to their own kid? - Multiple fractures.

They could be from an assault or from being battered by rocks and debris while in the water.

Stab wounds evident on ribs, manubrium and clavicle.

And ulna, radius. One to the sphenoids.

This was a very violent attack.

- Find the murder weapon? - Not yet. Scoop guys just got here.

Then tell them to look for a left leg and missing fetal bones.

Looks like we finally get to put Richardson away.

- I love being a hero. - A heroine.

Mmm, sounds too druggy. I'm going with hero.

Wh-Whoa. What are you doing?

Scraping the adipocere from the hand.

No. You could compromise the bones. You should use suction back at the lab...

if you want a conviction.

- Of course, it's your call. - Are we gonna have another murder here or what?

No, no. I have the utmost respect for the doc.

Glad she works for me.

Good. And, you know, the clothes, they match the ones she was last seen wearing.

The rope could be a match to the type found in Richardson's house.

While you two do your thing, I'm gonna go bring the son of a bitch in.

...the body of a mother and child thought to have-

- Where's Richardson? - Uh, I don't know.

He saw this, and then he took off.

I tried to stop him, but then he hit me.

He said he's never coming back.

Sources indicate both the mother and her fetus were stabbed to death.

Kyle Richardson remains the chief suspect.

Cam, this is the evidence taken from Kyle Richardson's house a year ago.

So, we got rope, the plastic sheeting...

knife set- one knife missing- Richardson's D.N.A. results.

File says witnesses placed Richardson...

at the marina on the bay the night she disappeared.

- Looks like he's not walking this time, Seeley. - Ironic, since he's running now.

Hodgins, you know Booth is bigger than you, right?

Right. Wasn't your fault, dude.

Let's focus, people. This should be a slam dunk.

We screw this up, I'm gonna look like a fool, and someone's gonna have to pay.

We just started collecting evidence.

There are boxes of evidence. The remains are icing on the cake.

Let's just hand the prosecutor what she needs...

so I can have a nice weekend knockin' back shots and playing poker.

Yeah, that should motivate us.

I'm gonna strip the flesh and adipocere.

Remove anything from under the fingernails.

There was a dead fish in the plastic.

Ooh! And it's not even my birthday.

- You saved the fish? - Yeah.

The stomach contents and particulates could give us drift patterns...

show where she was left before she washed ashore.

Not much left of the organs. Looks like I can still find a few surprises...

from what's left of this lung.

- Looks like some liver here. - I'll take any tissue that's stuck to the plastic.

There'll be sediment and organic particulates.

What do you want?

George Clooney naked on a white sand beach.

But I can give you faces after the skulls are reconstructed.

Zack will start on them right away.

After you've stripped any tissue, I'd like to reassemble the victim and the fetus.

Sounds like fun. Let's do it.

It was male.

" He. " Not " it," Bones.

I'm gonna go talk to his girlfriend. No mistakes on this one.

He always was a little touchy.

Yeah.

I- I didn't know Kyle then.

We started going out after his wife went missing.

Did he ever mention the night she disappeared?

Of course. I mean, it was terrible for him.

I just tried to support him and help him get past it.

He looks like he had a lot of people to help him.

I mean, he looked really, really broken up.

I know he dated other women.

But he is not who you think he is.

Nah, of course not.

- Oh, my God. - Agent Booth, is that necessary?

- Just trying to help her remember. - He would never do this.

- He could never do this! - He hit you when he was leaving, didn't he?

That is because I wanted to go with him.

A- And he knew everyone would be after him. He was just trying to protect me.

Yeah, he's a real prince.

Ifhe contacts you, call.

Otherwise, you're looking at obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting...

and I'm sure we could find a few other charges...

to make it worth the money you're paying your lawyer.

There's another gash on the second rib, right side...

approximately 45 degrees, left to right.

- Why didn't he divorce her? - Why did they get married in the first place?

It's an antiquated ritual.

Carlie Richardson believed in it, trusted her husband, and look what happened.

So this is marriage's fault?

Committing yourself to one person isn't in the interest of the species.

I mean, you have multiple partners.

Don't say it like that. I date.

The notion of a committed relationship, it's fantasy.

Look at Booth. Fighting with his ex. His son caught in the middle.

We make our lives out of chaos and hope...

and love.

Someday you'll meet somebody.

I don't need anything more than I have now.

Talk about a fantasy.

The skulls are in multiple pieces, but the damage is from debris in the water.

Then let's start on the stab wounds.

I'd like you to confirm the type of knife used in each of these.

These all appear to be from the knife that was missing from the set taken from Richardson's.

Appear? No conclusions without corroboration.

But Dr. Saroyan seems certain that Richardson-

Seems? You're my grad student. You work for me.

Remember, Doc. We're building a case here, not getting our rocks off on research.

Rocks and sediment are Hodgins's specialty.

You're serious?

Okay.

Brought your hand back. I found organic material under the fingernails.

Should match Richardson. And I found something else I'd like you to look at.

It's here in the lung. It's a locket.

It must've been around her neck...

and melted into the lung during putrefaction.

Before I remove it, I wanted to see...

if any of your cyborgs could do anything with the photo paper.

There's not enough left. It's liquefied.

It's probably just another picture of the lovebirds anyway.

Oh, what's this?

- Oh, no. - Who's Kenny?

I don't know. I don't want to know. I just want it to be Richardson.

That's right, because of the drinking and the poker.

Yeah, I know there's a lot of animals at the zoo.

The monkeys- The monkeys are Daddy's favorite.

Did you see-They're just like people.
