Hodgins

And here's the kicker. There was also evidence of genetic material from a Franklinea altamaha on his shoe.

You're kidding! I'm in shock...Frankie Alabama? You don't say.

Did you hear what I said about sarcasm?

Hodgins

It's a rare flowering plant that hasn't been seen in the wild since 1800. The only known specimen in this area, outside of a specialized botanical garden, was given to Senator Alan Corman as a gift. Oh, I love going after senators...

Whoa, just, you know, simmer down there, Hodgins, we're gonna check out the botanical garden first.

Hodgins

(shrugs) Fine. It's at the White House.

(Brennan and Hodgins laugh and high five)

What's goin' on? Why's every guy from the Jeffersonian here?

Hodgins

They're scientists. This is a fascinating scientific inquiry.

Oh my god. They're all out here because your going to feed something through this wood chipper.

Hodgins

Not just something. [pulls sheet off of table] Ta da! Frozen pig!

uhh...

The morphology of pig bones is almost identical to human bone.

Hodgins

By feeding the pig through the wood chipper we'll be able to determine a dispersal pattern of the fragments.

By comparing the pulverized pigs remains to the ones we found at the golf course we'll be able to tell if this is the actual wood chipper the victim was fed through.

Liars! You just want to see what happens when you toss some frozen pig into a wood chipper.

[analyzing the medallion evidence]

Oh My God!

[to Hodgins] Aren't you gonna go after him?

Hodgins

Nope!

Why not?

Hodgins

Because he is now officially in charge of that medallion.

[Angela and Hodgins knuckle-punched]

If you don't mind some conjecture. [looks around to Brennan]

You're the boss.

This fellow knew that something of value was being stolen.

Hodgins

[cuts in] Came down with an accomplice. [Brennan looks at him] I apologize. I've been hanging around Booth way too much.

It's a valid hypothesis. No doubt one of many.

They argue, one killed the other for the treasure. Doesn't that mean the vault will be empty when we find it?

[Hodgins looks up at Zack in astonishment]

[mutters to himself] Oh my god, they got me too.

You know what? This whole state of affairs where Brennan runs around fighting crime, it's stupid. It's nuts. Don't you agree?

[...]

What is going on with her?

Hodgins

Angela, she started to change the day she met you.

What???

Hodgins

She sees how you do it. All fun and involvement and pizzazz. Big, ya know? Big life. Booth came along and gave her the opportunity but she got the idea from you. Brennan wants a big life like yours.

It's difficult knowing Kent will never play again. Makes the war so real.

Hodgins

Which is odd, because it was all fiction that got us there in the first place.

So you don't think we should stand up to tyrants?

Hodgins

Sure. I've been waitin' for the press to do that for three years now.

Hodgins

[about the War in Iraq] Are you defending what's going on over there?

No, mistakes were made, obviously.

Hodgins

Yeah! Like establishing military bases over there instead of investing a fraction of what this war costs into alternative energy projects.

Nothing is that simple.

Hodgins

To me it is! We are ruled by the corporate oligarchy, face it.

[...]

You want to make the world a better place, Jack? Try shutting your yap long enough to hear something other than the sound of your own voice.

Hey, Hodge-Podge, all engines reverse. First we identify beyond a shadow of a doubt. Then we get paranoid.

Hodgins

Cool. As long as paranoia's on the schedule somewhere.

If it happens again, I will take action. And I am from New York, which means that I will take New York action. Am I clear?

Not at all.

I'm from Michigan.

Hodgins

Dr Saroyan means she'll make us watch musical theatre.

LSLisa Supac

(after advising Dr. Brennan and the rest of the team the Turko will only get 10 years for his involvement in the train crash) It's 10 years or nothing. I can only work with what I'm given, and the forensic work on this was not good enough.

What?

LSLisa Supac

You were fooled by fake dental records, you baked some spam.

What did you want us to do?

LSLisa Supac

Your jobs.

Hey!

No, Ms. Supek, you want us to do your job. My people gave you all the evidence you need to fry Turko with any reasonable jury.

We gave you everything you needed to arrest Turko.

LSLisa Supac

Arrest is not a conviction.

We definitely gave you enough to reject his plea bargain and indict him in the wrongful death of a Senator.

LSLisa Supac

Indictment is not a conviction.

You accept that plea bargain and the investigation stops.

Indict him. Give us time to get you what you need.

If you accept this plea bargain, you don't deserve to be a Federal Prosecutor.

LSLisa Supac

Dr. Saroyan!

Yeah, it's scary. The whole country'll be watching the trial and you don't want to go in with less than a sure thing. But you put my people on the stand as expert witnesses and that's a sure thing.

BHBrennan, Hodgins, Angela

Not Zack.

You can tell the story of what happened using the evidence these people provided, and if you any ability as a prosecutor you'll win the case.

LSLisa Supac

Are you finished?

No, Ms. Supac. In the future when you have problems with my team, you'll register them with me, in private, not by grand standing in a public forum.

(about the main suspect) Looks like he's not walking this time Seeley.

Hodgins

Ironic, since he's running now.

'Angela: Hodgins, you know Booth is bigger than you, right?

Hodgins

Right. (looks at Booth) Wasn't your fault, dude.

(Booth and Brennan in the car on their way to the crime scene)

The knife is consistent with the one that caused the wounds. We've fitted it with an instrumented blade that will give us a digital readout of the Newton meters of each stab.

It's a dual-mass drop system.

Hodgins

Cliff notes version: We all stab. One of us is the killer.

Thank you!

Sort of like a real creepy party game.
