"Yeah." "Yeah." "#Treading up in all thejungle one day #" "# Let me tell you what I encountered, yea #" "# Treading up in all thejungle one day #" "# Let me tell you what I encountered, yea ##" "These tigers eat better than I do." " Hey, yesterday's food's still here." " And the day before's." "I don't think Matilda's moved in two days." " I hope she's not sick." " Maybe there is something wrong." "Should we call the vet?" " Let's go." " Thanks." "I was here last weekend with Parker." "They got monkeys swinging free right over there." "You think we have the time?" "Booth, we are here to recover a set of remains." "Come on, Bones." "You gotta take time to smell the primates." "Why?" "They're malodorous and they throw their excrement." "Who wanders around in an animal park?" "Someone with extremely poorjudgment." "Huh." "Guess no one told this guy it's not a petting zoo." "Never mind." "The flesh has been gnawed and baked in the sun." "But the nasal root suggests a black male well over six feet tall." "According to Parker's Big Book of Animals... you know, they can pounce at 35 miles per hour and leap 30 feet." "The tiger fed on the flesh... and internal organs before he started cleaning the bones." "You know, I'm thinking the victim wandered away from his car." "He was drunk, and he ended up in this area." "Same thing happened to a guy last year in the giraffe section." "Giraffes are herbivores." "They don't eat people." "That part is different." "The guy broke his arm." " Did you know that giraffes can weigh up to two tons?" " Yes." "Everyone knows that." " And they sleep less than two hours a day." " That I did not know." "Yes!" "Pinky stumps the Brain." "Well, I have no way of determining cause of death out here." "So we should pack everything up and bring it back to the lab." "Pack it up." "Teeth marks in the manubrium and the sternum." "Nice to have you back, Dr. Edison." "I wasn't sure we'd see you again." "Dr. Brennan assured me that I could count on a strictly professional atmosphere." "I admire your focus and dedication to your work, Dr. Edison." "Thoracolumbar fascia has been eaten." "No stomach contents for me to analyze because the tiger ate the stomach." "Don't blame the tiger." "Animals shouldn't be confined for human amusement." " A zoo hater?" " And a vegan." " Oh." "Someone's revealing their plant-based personal life." " It relates to the case." "Zoos have many breeding programs to preserve endangered species." "Animals bred in zoos have weak natural instincts." " They're basically just imprisoned pets." " Pets generally don't eat you." "Common house cat will devour you before you're cold." "The victim's hyoid and spinal cord are still intact." "There are no indications of a traditional tiger throat bite or stranglehold." "The tiger was not the cause of death." "I agree." "Some kind of weapon... sliced along what's left of the right pelvis and thigh, transecting the femoral artery." "He died of a good old-fashioned bleed out." "There's a shoelace mixed in with the flesh." "The tiger could've coughed it up like a fur ball." "Judging from decomp and the amount the tiger ate..." "I estimate time of death to be late Friday night, early Saturday." "Welcome back, Clark." "Whoa." "Have you been working out?" " Excuse me?" " You look so solid and compact." "I believe that all conversation should relate to this man's murder." "Angela's taking a stab at celibacy." "Sweets thinks it will help me form more committed relationships." "But it just seems to rev up her libido" "Chewing has embedded particulates... into the teeth marks in the medial malleolus." "Okay, I get it." "But you're squeezable." "We should thank our tiger for not eating the victim's teeth." "Dentals gave us an easy match." "Dr. Andrew Welton." " Are you sure?" " Yeah, it's-it's dentals." "Doesn't take a rocket scientist to I.D. off dentals." "Sad, huh?" "He was handsome." "He's hot, really." "Okay, that's enough, Angela." "Are you all right, Dr. Saroyan?" "No." "I knew Dr. Welton." "We lived together for two years." "Oh, my God, Cam." "I'm really sorry." "No" " Let's just find out who killed him." "Okay?" "So I called the hospital, and Dr. Welton has been missing for two days." "I'm sorry, Cam." "I haven't even seen Andrew for 10 years." "It's silly for me to be reacting like this." "No, it's not." "You know what?" " He was a big part of your life." " What about his daughter?" " Who's gonna tell Michelle?" "Had he remarried, or" " No." "No other family." "Yeah, I'm not surprised." "Michelle's mom died during childbirth... and I don't think Andrew could ever go through loving anyone like that again." "Michelle became everything to him." "She must be, what, 16 now?" "Yeah." "What a terrible time to lose her father." " Listen, Bones and I, we'll- we'll get the social worker." " No." "No social worker." "If there's no one else, I have to do it." "I'll talk to her." "Look, Cam, it's been 10 years since you've seen her." "I was her mom for almost two years, Seeley." "She should hear it from someone who- someone who loved her father." "So, you sure you don't want us to come in with you?" "No." "I'll be fine." " Cam raised her?" " Yep, for two years." " Camille Saroyan?" " And you know my dad?" "You were four when your father and I were together." "I moved away just after you turned six." "But I remember your party." "You were sitting on the clown's lap... while he made balloon animals, and he kept handing them to me." " And I had this armful of them" " I don't remember." "And my dad's not here right now." "I know." "I'm working on a case with the F.B.I., Michelle." "Could you please sit down?" "Well, she told me she never wanted to have kids." "Maybe Michelle is the reason." "I don't understand." "She loved Welton, lived with him for about two years." "And she raised Michelle like she was her own." "And then she's been alone for all that time because... she doesn't wanna put herself in that position again." " But that was 10 years ago." " For Cam, there are emotional considerations here." "That's why she has to be involved in the case." "With us?" "It's best that you... stay in the lab... a little bit more, just this time around." "Because that's where I'm most useful." "I understand." "No, you and Cam can rely on your statistically inaccurate guts to solve the case." "She needs this." "Just trust me on this, Bones." "Last time I saw him was Friday night." "He was getting ready for some hospital party at the animal park." "I spent the weekend at my friend's." "I'm-I'm sure that he's still at the hospital." "Michelle, we found your father." "I'm very sorry to have to tell you... that he's- he passed away." "What?" "No." "No." "He was fine." "He was fine." "I saw him two days ago." "You're wrong." "I'm so sorry, honey." "Is anyone staying with you?" "Um, our housekeeper, Mrs. Jenks." "But she's" "What happened?" "He was healthy." "We believe he was killed." "What?" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Look." "I don't even know you, okay?" "Why don't you just do your job and find out who did this to my dad." " Is everything all right?" " My dad- She says that my dad has been murdered." "Oh, good God." "How could you tell her alone?" " Why didn't you call me?" " I" "I thought she'd remember me." "I was a friend of the family." "I think you should go." "I know this is difficult, but I have to ask a few questions." " Now?" " In order to pursue an investigation" "What?" "What do you want to know?" "Did your father have... any enemies?" "Any difficult relationships?" "No." "Everybody loved him." "You said that you knew him." "You should know that." "How'd it go?" "You should've brought a social worker." "She didn't remember me at all." "Look at the pelvis." "Surface lacerations to the periosteum of the pelvic bone." "Those aren't bone chips." "Whatever caused the laceration embedded something in the bone." "Look at the injuries near the femoral artery." "Looks like there are particles of mica in here." "The scarring on the ilium indicates that something gouged the victim." "I'll start testing possible weapons." " Do you have anything?" " Well, a thorough examination takes time." " Let's not take too much time." " Well, we're being so thorough that we can" "There's a killer out there, Dr. Edison." "So be thorough and fast." "I have the results of Welton's tox screen." "There were opiates in his blood." "Hydrocodone and carisoprodol." " Perhaps he was self-medicating." " That doesn't sound like Andrew." "You haven't seen him in years." "These are very high levels of opiates to have in your system if you're a surgeon." "It's not uncommon for doctors to have substance abuse issues." "Andrew was not a drug abuser." "Look for physical indicators that might warrant opiate use." "I'm meeting Booth at the hospital if you have any information... which I hope you will." "I took Michelle to ballet class and parent-teacher conferences... and I read her to sleep." "And when I saw her, it all came back." "I thought it would for her." " Some of it, at least." " Listen, Parker's seven." " He can't even remember how to put on his underwear." " But he knows you." "He knows what you've done for him." "It's been 10 years." "People move on." " It's just a relationship that didn't work out." " It's a family, Seeley." " Family that didn't work out." " Camille." " Maura." "It's been a long time." " It's horrible what happened." "Yeah." "This is Special Agent Booth." "Dr. Bailey is Roosevelt's chief administrator." "Dr. Bailey, I'd like to ask you a few questions about Dr. Welton." "Of course." "Let's find some privacy." "We were both residents here." "It was a really competitive environment." "Does Michelle know?" " Yes." "I saw her this morning." " Oh." "Poor kid." "You two were pretty close as I remember." "Dr. Bailey, we believe that Dr. Welton was killed at the benefit Friday night." " At the animal park?" " He was found in the tiger habitat." "We need a list of everyone who attended the benefit." "Staff, caterers, park personnel assigned to the event." " Of course." " Dr. Welton have any enemies?" "The staff loved him." "In the spirit of full disclosure, though, you should know..." "Dr. Welton and I had our share of disagreements." " It's an occupational hazard." " Maura always did like being in charge." "I am in charge now, Camille." "Andrew and I had policy disagreements." "But I admired him." "He was the best cardiovascular surgeon I knew." "How about any other patients?" "People outside of the hospital?" "Malpractice suits are par for the course in any hospital." "And we are fighting 15 right now." "I'm gonna need a list of all those lawsuits naming Dr. Welton." "Of course." "Andrew usually made his rounds at night." "Who would've seen him before he went to the benefit?" "You should check with the nurses in the cardiac unit." "Dr. Welton was the best." "Everyone loved him." " He lived for his patients." " And his daughter." "Dr. W. made his rounds before the benefit." "I helped him change a chest tube." "And I had to push him aside so his tux didn't get dirty." "Other than that, it was just like any other night." "And no arguments with patients or family members?" "With Dr. Welton?" "No." "Do you know if he was taking anyone to the benefit?" "I told him he could take me." "He looked likeJames Bond." "You never knew who Dr. Welton was dating." "He wasn't the type to settle down." "Right." " How's it goin'?" " Hey." "Ooh." "What is that smell?" " Are you wearing cologne?" " It's urine." "I found traces of uric acid on the victim's clothing." " Oh." " It was the pheromones you found pleasing." "Yeah." "Uh, the pheromones in tiger urine?" "Well, I assume it's tiger urine." " The cat was probably marking its territory." " I was turned on by tiger urine?" "Celibacy isn't easy, Ange." "Tell me about it." "I don't know why Sweets thinks... this is gonna help form more stable relationships." "Sex is the glue." "We were like epoxy." "Sometimes, relationships need more than just sex." "Okay." "Okay, I get it." "I wasn't wrong about Clark, though, was I?" "I mean, he's cute, and he's built." "Yeah, not too comfortable with this part of the conversation." "I'm just saying." "I'm allowed to look, right?" " Sure." " And remember." "Remember?" "Yeah." "You should join a gym." "Go for a run to burn off some of your excess... whatever it is." "I really, uh, need to get back to my" " Urine?" " Yeah." "I found nodules of ossified cartilage... on Welton's thumbs between the metacarpals and carpals." "He was suffering from synovial chondromatosis." "He was in pain." "That would explain the opiates." "I also found ibuprofen... which he would've taken to reduce the inflammation." "The bony growths in his wrists... would've caused him pain and severely restricted his mobility." "It would've been very dangerous for him to perform surgery in his condition." "Well, he wouldn't have done it." "Not Andrew." "You can't know that." "People change in 10 years." " Not someone's nature." " We're scientists." "We can't quantify or rely on our emotions." "They're arbitrary and indeterminate." "We know people through our feelings, Dr. Brennan." "You trust Booth because of what you feel." "No, I trust Booth because of past actions." "And faith in the future." "I'm sorry, but feelings are important." "Even to you." "Saroyan." "So a guy named Brandon Casey... filed a malpractice suit after his wife died during surgery on Welton's operating table." "After the suit was arbitrated in Welton's favor..." "Welton filed a restraining order against Casey." "Do you think Casey killed Welton?" "Well, I don't know." "But I do know that Casey bought a ticket to the benefit." "Why would someone who sued the hospital pay to go to its benefit?" "I, uh- I don't understand why I'm here." "Well, your wife died during surgery performed by Dr. Andrew Welton." "Yes." "That was two years ago." "She was only 32 years old." "She had a congenital heart defect." "And yet, he had to take out a restraining order against you?" "I was crazy when Alex died." "I needed to blame someone." "And you attacked him, which is why he had to take out a restraining order." "Which I get because, you know, got to let the anger go." "I needed to find forgiveness, even compassion for the doctor." "He seems sincere." "But he still violated the restraining order." "And yet you went to the benefit last Friday night, ignoring the restraining order." "I went to apologize." "I had accused this man of murder." "I owed Dr. Welton an apology." "And what did he say to you after you apologized?" "Well, we didn't get a chance to talk." "He was arguing with a woman." "They were off to the side and really going at it." "I didn't want to get in the middle of it." "Okay." "What's going on here?" "Has something happened to Dr. Welton?" "Yeah." "He was murdered Friday night." "I'm" " Oh, my God." " Do you know what this woman looked like?" " No, I don't." "I" " I'm" " What she was wearing?" " I don't know." "Was she tall?" "Was she short?" "Nothing?" " I'm sorry." "I don't remember." " It's possible, Booth." "People don't retain what they don't think is important." "Great." " I beg your pardon?" " Nothing." "But the memories are still formed." "See if he'll agree to hypnosis." "The gouge that extends from the ilium to the femur is deep... and seems to have torn through the bone." "Well, I found wounds on the proximal phalanx of the right fifth digit... as well as the ulnar tuberosity." " Defensive wounds." " Yes, caused by blunt force." "Hey." "I used the measurements of the injuries trying different scenarios on possible weapons." "And you did this while jogging?" "Well, yeah." "I was burning off a little of my extra desire on the way to work..." " sweat pea." " Is sweet pea an appropriate workplace moniker?" "Don't worry, Clark." "I won't eat you, not that I'm not tempted." "Thank God." "Most men would be flattered by Angela's sexual interest in them." "Well, my sexual needs are well taken care of." "Thank you." " Really?" " Your results, Miss Montenegro." "Okay." "The force that it would take to inflict injuries this severe... would dictate either an extremely strong person... over seven feet tall wielding a two-foot metal pole" "Someone at the party would've noticed a giant." "Or... someone between 5'7'"and 5'11"... wielding a five-foot metal pole with a 10-centimeter diameter." "A metal pole of that length and diameter... would be consistent with the defensive injuries we found." "Now we have to determine what gouged the bone." " Yeah, well, I'm gonna need more information for that." " Angela." " Can I borrow you for a little while?" " To do what with?" "Sorry." "That just popped out." " I needed a longer run." " Yeah, I understand." "I'm gonna be hypnotizing a witness... who can't remember a suspect, and I need a sketch artist." " Oh." " We're finished." "Cool." "I'm all yours, Sweets." "All right." "You are relaxed, Mr. Casey." "Totally relaxed and completely aware of your surroundings." " Can you tell me my name?" " Dr. Sweets." "Yes." "And we are here together... at the animal park at the hospital benefit." "Yes." "There's so many people here." "And I keep missing the hors d'oeuvres." "You've gotta be kidding me." "Shh." "Have you spotted Dr. Welton yet?" "I know he's here someplace." "How do you feel, Mr. Casey?" "Are you angry?" "You thought this man killed your wife." "No." "No, I was wrong." "Looking forward to seeing the doctor and making amends." " Would you like some champagne?" " No, thanks." " Absolutely." " All right." "Have you spotted Dr. Welton yet?" "No." "I keep trying to get something to eat." "I didn't have lunch." "I'd like something to eat too." "Okay, here comes a waitress." " Hi, there." " She's giving you what you want." " Thank you." " Now, can you" " Can you see the doctor?" "Yes." "He's over by the path." " What path?" " The path that leads to the animals." "I hear there's no fence." "What if the animals can get out?" "Don't worry." "You are perfectly safe, Mr. Casey." "Thank you very much." "A zebra over here." "No, I agree." "The animals won't hurt you." "They're very friendly." "Yes." "Yes, they are." "You can see Dr. Welton clearly now, can't you?" " Is he alone?" " No." "He's with a woman." " And they're arguing?" " Yes." "She's yelling at him." "He's trying to calm her down." "She's pushing him." "Look closer." "Tell me what she looks like." " No." "I need to move away." "This is embarrassing." " No." "No, no, no, no." "Not yet." "Look at the woman." " You can see her clearly now, can't you?" " Yes." "Okay." "So let's sit here, and we'll sip a little champagne." "And you can describe her to me in detail." "She's about 50." "Oval face, strong features... high cheekbones, hazel eyes... pointed nose." "Uh, dude, you're blocking my light." "Do you, uh, recognize this woman, Dr. Bailey?" "Of course I do." "Mrs. Diane Annenberg." "She's one of our biggest donors." "We have a witness who saw this woman arguing with Dr. Welton the night of the benefit." "A woman that generous is used to getting her own way." "But she's not a killer." "She wouldn't have been happy knowing that your best surgeon was disabled." "Why didn't you mention that Andrew had synovial chondromatosis when we spoke?" "Because it didn't affect the investigation." "If you think about it, the hospital would've been ruined if it came out... that Dr. Welton was operating when he shouldn't have been." "Annenberg would've looked like a fool." "I know it's been a while, Camille." "But you knew Andrew." "He would never jeopardize a patient." "We agreed he would only supervise during surgery... until he decided what sort of treatment to follow." "Was there any other reason Annenberg might've been angry with Andrew?" "She seems a little old for him." "Her son Rick is in his last year of med school." "He applied to Roosevelt for his surgical residency." " Andrew ran that admissions committee." " Did he reject her son?" "He did." "We supported that decision." "Looks like we have one unhappy mom." "So, you were seen arguing with Dr. Welton the night that he died." "At the benefit?" "That wasn't an argument." "Then what was it?" "I was expressing my disappointment with Dr. Welton's decision... to exclude my son from the residency program at Roosevelt." "Money doesn't make you a god, Mrs. Annenberg." "My son should've been accepted because he's deserving." "Richard never wanted to be anything but a doctor." "He worked for it." "He finished second in his class." "Obviously..." "Dr. Welton had some sort of personal issue with my son or with me." "Right." "And removing him would solve all your problems." "Yes." "I wanted him removed from the Board of Admissions." "I" " I do feel that my generosity entitles me to some sort of influence." "But I did not want Dr. Welton killed." "Well, I can only imagine that Richard was pretty angry with Welton too." "Ayoung man like that who's used to getting whatever he wants... might lose control." " Don't be ridiculous." " Was your son at the benefit that night?" "Richard is a good boy, Agent Booth." "Thank you for your time, Mrs. Annenberg." " Anything of value yet?" " We are cataloging injuries." "I thought you would be with Booth." "Questioning people isn't really my thing." "Most of the time, I just want to beat them until they tell me what I want to hear." "I know." "It gets frustrating." "And hitting can often be quite effective." "And you both work with theJustice Department?" " Yes." " Ironic." "How is Michelle?" "The loss of a father can be quite devastating." "I haven't seen her again." "I imagine Child Services... will probably be moving her to a foster home soon." "Those white flecks that were embedded in the pelvic bone... they're polymerized hydrocarbon from the serrated edge of a plastic knife." "Seems our victim was attacked in the groin with disposable cutlery." "Didn't we find a blood-soaked shoelace in the remains?" "Yes." "We assumed that the tiger coughed it up." "Under normal circumstances, a plastic knife could barely cut flesh." "But if there was already an open wound caused by whatever punctured the artery" "Then a plastic knife could be used to enlarge the opening." " Why?" "Make him bleed out faster?" " No." "Someone was trying to make the bleeding stop." "The puncture wounds were too high for a tourniquet." "So they used the knife to gain access to the vascular area." "The shoelace was probably used to tie off the femoral artery, but the procedure failed." "Who would attack him and then try to save him?" "Someone with a medical background." "So, uh, tell me about Dr. Welton." "He was a... good man." "Good doctor." " It's terrible what happened to him." " I heard he made the mistake... of getting between you and something you've been working for your whole life." "My mother tell you that?" " She said you wanted to be a doctor." " She's right." "Roosevelt's got some of the best residencies." "I could see why you wouldn't want anything to get in your way." " What does that mean?" " Well, you see, the suspect that we're looking for... had motive, opportunity and a medical background." " Does that sound like anyone in this room?" " You think I killed Dr. Welton?" "I want to save lives, Agent Booth." "That's why I'm a doctor." "Someone tried to save Dr. Welton." "They tried to stop the bleeding after they attacked him." "I didn't even want the residency." "I begged Dr. Welton to reject me." "After all that hard work, now why would you do something like that?" "To get away from my mother." "She seems all benevolent, but she's a control freak." "And Dr. Welton, he understood that I had to get away from her... to be the kind of doctor I wanted to be." "So he stood up for you, even though he might lose his job?" "Yeah." "Look, you don't have to believe me." "If somebody tried to stop the bleeding, then they'd be covered in blood themselves." "Take my clothes." "You can run all the tests you want." "I just wanted to find out how you were doing." "I know how difficult this must be for you." "Aren't you supposed to be finding out who did this to my dad?" "And I will." "I swear to you." "I know what a good man he was and what a great father." "You don't remember?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I remember." "I remember that you said you loved me... and that we were a family." "And then you just left." "The reason I left" "It was between your father and me." "It had nothing to do with you, Michelle." "Yeah." "That's what he always said." "But if you care so much, why don't you explain it to me right now?" "I don't know." "If he didn't talk to you about it, I" "I waited for you." "I looked out the window for weeks... waiting on you to come home." "You don't say that you love somebody and then just walk out like that." "Your father and I were gonna get married, Michelle." "But your father, he" "What?" "He was still seeing other women... even after we were engaged." "And I tried to work through it." "I loved him." "I still do." "But after your mother..." "I don't think your father could ever commit like that again." "And that wasn't something I could live with." "Maybe because he knew that you weren't good enough." "Maybe he was just waiting for the right woman." "Maybe." "I'm" " I'm sorry I brought it up." "I never stopped thinking about you, Michelle." "And if there's anything I can" "I don't need anything from you." "Just go." "Leave me alone." "Go!" "So what did Michelle say to you?" "She said that I wasn't good enough for her father... and that was why he saw other women." " Welton cheated on you?" " That's why I left." " Did that bother you?" " Sweetie, how many times do I have to tell you... that most people don't like to be cheated on?" "The only people who don't mind have just given up." "Or are very, very rational... and above those archaic notions of monogamy." "Right." "Yes, of course." "I'm not quite evolved enough." "Excuse me." "This is not my area of expertise." "But if Welton cheated on you, he may have been cheating on other women." "He probably was." " The only person he was ever faithful to was Michelle." " Well, there you go." "He was playing the field, and somebody probably nuked him for it." " Well, how do you know?" " Because despite the fact I would love to have my legs... wrapped around one right now, men are awful." "Hey." "Whoa." " What'd I do?" " You're a man." " I have information." " Go ahead." "Uric acid on the victim's clothing, it's feline, but it's not tiger pee." "Sediment composition and pH level suggests that it was from a lion." "Are you aware that lionesses do all the hunting?" "Yes." "The males simply copulate and eat what the females catch." "And when they get cranky, they eat the cubs." " Mm-hmm." " Men." "Wow." "Before I flee for my life... the particles I found in the wounds around the femoral artery... the ones I thought might be mica, they're scales." " Fish?" " No, snake." "I can maybe have a species by tomorrow." "Hey." "You wanna stay and have a drink?" "Oh." "Yeah." "We hate men." "I'm gonna go now." "He does have a terrific ass." "Perhaps that's why you're always making him leave." " No lions?" " None in the whole park." "They're tigers." "How much difference can there be between lion urine and tiger urine?" "There are no stripes in tiger urine." " I didn't say there are." " I just know how much you love cartoons." " Tom and Jerry?" " Bugs and Daffy." "All right." "Now, this is the capybara enclosure." "Now, they use crystallized lion urine... around the edges of this enclosure to keep the capybaras inside." "And then, look at this." "The reptile shed." "Snakes!" "What is that?" "It's a snake hook." "It's used for picking them up and keeping them at a safe distance." "That hook could've severed the artery and deposited... the snake scales in the gouge in the femur." "So he was killed around that area with something like that thing." " That is very imprecise." " Works for me." " Angela." " Clark." "Hello." "I would like you to meet my romantic partner, Dr. Nora Oldhouse." " Hello, romantic partner." " Yes, we're romantically involved together- she and I." " Clark, she heard you." " Nora, these are not like regular people." "It is best to be very, very clear with them." "Nora's a tenured professor of women's studies at Georgetown, and a vegan." "Could you be any more politically correct or cute?" "See?" "See what she just did there?" "I mean, it's harassment, baby." "Hey." "We're in a monogamous relationship." "I need you to back up off me, lady." "I understand you've recently decided to be celibate, Miss Montenegro." "Uh, temporarily, yeah." " That could have some physiological repercussions." " Tell me about it." "But unbelievable fantasies." "Did you know that women in the 19th century... would visit their physicians for anxiety and hysteria?" "And as treatment, the doctor would provide manual sexual stimulation to the women." " And a subsequent orgasm would provide" " Oh, God!" "What are you doin'?" "I don't think that my insurance covers that." "Well, I'm just saying that these women weren't getting what they needed at home." "You understand?" "In the absence of a sex partner, there are other alternatives." "To me." "Alternatives to me." " Vibrators or sex toys" " Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Why am I here for this?" "I don't need to be hearing this." "Excuse me." " He's very sweet." " I know." "It was nice to meet you." "You too." "Thank you for the tip." " Yeah." " Hey, Dr. Oldhouse." "I wasn't wrong about Clark, was I?" "He's tightly wound, but" "Dynamite, Miss Montenegro." "A briefcase bomb." "That's what I thought." "Baby." "When I was talking with Ange and Brennan last night about men... it occurred to me that Andrew probably didn't change much when it came to women." "Come on." "It's been 10 years." "Do you think Andrew was still visiting the same place?" "Andrew was set in his routines." "And if I remember Langston correctly, this guy didn't miss a thing." "Hiya, Langston." " I know you." " It's been a while." "3-0-1." "Wednesday afternoons with Dr. Welton." "Noisy afternoons." "You always left smiling." " Hey." " You were a nurse at the hospital." "She was a doctor, okay?" "And now she's a federal coroner." "So a little respect, okay, Rumpelstiltskin?" " Coroner, huh?" "Somebody die?" " Yeah, Langston." "Dr. Welton." "Wow." "My bet: jealous husband." "Or jealous ex maybe." "You're wearing on me, sport." "I'm gonna guess that Andrew kept coming to your motel after me." "Uh, yeah." "He kept comin'." " With anyone special?" " I don't know her name." " Describe her then." " Good lookin', like all of you." "Uh, tall." "He liked 'em tall." "Pretty face." "Sharp features." "And red hair." "Red hair?" " I have no idea what that is." " That's the murder weapon." "The point of the hook tapers in a manner identical to the fatal wounds... we found on the head of the femur and the pelvic bone." "Plus, the curved nature of the weapon resulted in" " What was that?" " Cortical splintering." "See, Dr. Brennan's people found that Dr. Welton was struck with this..." " between two and" " Four times." " Four times." " And then stabbed with this in the femoral artery." "Would you be willing to give us the clothes you wore the night of the benefit?" "If you had any evidence implicating me, you'd have a warrant." " I believe I'll decline." " We know you had an affair with Dr. Welton." "Which means your husband is a suspect." "We'd have to question him too." " Mm-hmm." " I don't appreciate your veiled attempt at blackmail." "She thought that was veiled?" "My position dictates that any legal dealings that concern me... have to go through the hospital's attorney." " I'm sure you understand." " All right." "We got her on the run, Bones." " King of the lab." " Who cares?" "These are scales from a snake." "To be precise, a Boiga cyanea, also known as a cat snake." "Only problem is there are no cat snakes at the animal park." " Why are you pretending to be interested?" " I am interested." "You're just not used to seeing this expression on my face." " Where'd the snake come from?" " My guess, a wallet, shoes, or a handbag." "The victim's wallet was made of ostrich, and his shoes were cow." "I'm a vegan." "These atrocities register on me." "I guess those scales could've come from the murderer." "I don't know." "Maybe he was dressed like a snake..." " which is biblically apropos." " And this makes you king of the lab?" "Did you find anything that might catch a killer?" "I found the defensive wounds." "Yesterday's news, pal." "Hodgins found another way to track the killer." "Angela's going through all the digital photos from the benefit now." " You want to hear the details?" " Not right now, if you don't mind." " What's this?" " When I left Michelle 10 years ago..." "I knew Andrew wouldn't say what needed to be said, so" "You did it?" "No." "I didn't know what to say." "And she was so little, and I loved her so much." "And I haven't had a child of my own... but I find it impossible to believe anyone- anyone could love a child more." "But I had no place in her life anymore." "So I had to" "You had to leave room in case Andrew found someone else... who might help raise Michelle." "I had this old salt-and-pepper set my grandmother gave me before she died." "It fits together." "I kept this one, and I gave Michelle the other half." "And I told her that whenever she looked at it... she should know that at that exact moment..." "I'd be thinking of her and loving her." " That is not strictly" " I know, Dr. Brennan." "But I swear, sometimes I looked at my half... and I knew that little girl was missing me." "Perhaps you should take her in now." "What?" "She's an orphan." "She's alone in the world." "She needs a parent." "Michelle stopped loving me years ago." "But you never stopped loving her." "She'll know that." "The Mohawk Indians have a saying... that when a child falls in the rapids, the one who rescues her... will share in her new life forever." "I assume that doesn't only apply to a potential drowning victim." "I have to go help Angela find a snake." "Hodgins says the scales from the wound... didn't come from any snakes at the park." "So we should look for bloody clothing or a snakeskin." "Dr. Bailey is here, but she's wearing this white dress." "That's late in the evening." "If she'd have been the killer, it would be covered in blood." " Oh, boy." " A snakeskin handbag." "Can you magnify that more?" " That is definitely torn." " Could be from the murder weapon." "Can you pull back to see the person?" " It's Nancy Lauder." " The nurse." "Well, her dress is black." "It wouldn't have shown blood." "We have a warrant for the snakeskin handbag... and the dress you wore to the fund-raiser that night." "I burned the dress." "I was covered in blood." "I'm placing you under arrest for the murder of Dr. Andrew Welton." "I thought he'd change." "You knew Dr. Welton was having an affair with Dr. Bailey." "All those years, I was always there for him." "If anyone knows how I felt, it's you." "No, Nancy." "We're not the same." "I left Andrew." "Why did she kill my father?" "Yeah, I got it." "Your father was a good man, Michelle." "I still carry him with me." "And he loved you." "We were both very lucky." "I miss him so much." "I want you to consider something." " You need a place to live now." " Yeah." "Um, my dad has some kind of cousin in Chicago." "I would like you to come live with me." "Where are you going?" "I thought" "I don't know where Cam gets the idea where she can take in a 16-year-old girl." " You don't think she can do it?" " No." "She can do it." "It's just-Just because somebody thinks that they can do something... doesn't mean that they should." " Well, I told her I thought it would be a good idea." " Wow." "Why?" "Well, she told me a story about a salt shaker... that affected me emotionally." "I just can't believe Cam would do that." "She's a lot like you, you know." " What do you mean?" " Well, you know." "She's independent, likes to be alone." "You know, free of personal encumbrances." "I'm not free of personal encumbrances." "Look, you don't have real responsibilities in life until you have a child." " Believe me." " Are you suggesting that..." "I'm not a fully engaged human being because I don't have a child?" "No." "I- Good for Cam." "So I gave her good advice." "Yes, Bones." "You gave her great advice." "So, um, where are the ribs?" "Oh, I got moo shu tofu instead." "Instead of ribs?" "We solved the case, you know?" "We're supposed to be celebrating." "People don't celebrate with tofu." "Independent women free of personal encumbrances do." "All right." "You know what?" "That was low." "That was really low." " Come on." "Try it." " No." "Mm-mmm." "Booth, come on." "Hmm." "You know, it's like eating a sponge." "I mean, for tofu, it's tofu." "It's" " It's spongy, but it's not actually not too bad." " You want more?" " So-Yeah." "It's not too bad." "I mean, I'll try that." "What's that mean?"
