Hey, Hodge-Podge, all engines reverse. First we identify beyond a shadow of a doubt. Then we get paranoid.
Cool. As long as paranoia's on the schedule somewhere.
S2 E1The Titan on the Tracks
You're chattering me to death because you hope I'll forget that you called me a wank-tard.
It's a... made-up word. No meaning.
Tell me that's not a real skeleton.
No, we made him out of calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite.
And spam.
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.
Dr Saroyan means she'll make us watch musical theatre.
Don't you have to read him his rights before you strangle him?
Yeah, Bones doesn't intimidate.
Then... what?
Have you seen the way she stares at human remains before she makes a decision?
Yes.
You're human remains and... she hasn't made a decision yet.
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.
S2 E2The Mother and Child in the Bay
What do you want?
George Clooney naked on a white sand beach, but I can give you faces after the skull's been reconstructed.
Monkeys are Daddy's favorite! They're just like people!
Actually, three million base pairs of the genome differ in protein encoding and other functional areas.
What?
The differences between chimps and humans.
I'm talking to a four-year-old, Bones.
You want me to what?
Stab the body for me. We need to match force with the injuries recorded on the remains.
Okay, I'm stabbing the body.
It's a replica. We're all going to do it. You're just the closest to Kyle Richardson.
Okay, you know what? That's great. I'll be there in twenty. But in the future you just got to ask me differently, Bones, because you know what? Come over to your place to stab a body? That is just freaky.
We make our lives out of chaos and hope. And love.
The force used to make the injuries on the bones was 24 newton-meters. And the winner is, with 24 newton-meters...Angela.
What?
Congratulations.
Really?
Height and weight?
Oh god. U-uh...ugh. Five-eight, one hundred and hun...dre....
What?
135. It's all muscle.
You think Richardson can rise to the occasion? Be a decent father?
He's got Carlie's parents to help him and I like to think that people can change.
Faith and hope, right?
Right.
Angela threw in love, too.
Love is good.
(about Richardson) He didn't kill her.
No, but he ran. How do you just cut your family out of your life like that?
What about Abraham?
You're gonna throw religion in my face right now?
I thought you find answers in what you believe.
Well, that's the one Bible story that I just don't like. I mean, God commands Abraham to kill his own son and he does.
Abraham does not kill Isaac.
But old Ab, he had the intention.
I thought what he had was faith.
Look, I have faith. But if God himself came down, pointed at Parker and said I want you to, you know, that ain't gonna happen.
'Brennan: God's messenger stopped Abraham?
Yeah. You know, grabbed his hand the last second right before the knife was about to go in.
Ok, then the lesson I would learn from this myth -
Myth?
Fits the definition.
Ok, fine.
That when it comes to your children your love has to be absolute. The messenger represents goodness, what you know to be right, ergo you have to remain open to what you know is true.
(smiles) Are you sure you're not religious?
Science all the way.
Science all the way.
Hey, even an empiricist can have a heart, Booth.
I understand killers, I just don't know how mothers can do it. I mean, dogs can be trained in a couple of weeks. Kids, mothers have to give up their lives for years.
No, no. When you're looking at your kid, you don't feel like you're giving up anything.
So, you'd do it again?
What?
You'd have Parker, even with everything you're going through?
What kind of question is that?
Wouldn't it be easier if Parker wasn't caught in this drama of yours, with Rebecca, new boyfriend?
God, no, no, Bones! He's my son. Whatever we're going through, it's not about that and he knows that.
That's what parents say when they want to justify themselves.
You know, I haven't walked out on Parker, alright? I would never have done what your parents did.
I didn't say you would, I just - I don't know. You're the father, I don't know anything about raising kids.
Parker's fine.
(Booth and Brennan in the diner. Booth just finished talking to Parker on the phone)
