Dr. Brennan, how are you feeling?
Well, they gave me medication, so I feel how I imagine people of average intelligence feel all the time. I came here to see if you ran away.
No, I'm here looking for clues. Something I might have missed.
In your cards? Because that is a waste of time.
You say that after I sent Agent Booth to save your life.
Well, you knew where the bodies were buried. You knew Dr. Leacock would attack me.
[turns over a card] You were an abandoned child. [turns over another card] The world scares you, so you wrap it up neatly in bonds of reason, education and proof. All riddles are solvable to you, except for one.
Yes, the riddle of how you knew where your sister was buried.
No. The riddle you can't solve is how somebody could love you.
[laughs dismissively] Well, I'm beautiful and very intelligent.
The answer to the question you're afraid to say out loud is: yes, he knows the truth about you, and he is dazzled by that truth.
