: Angela said rap artists sometimes kill
each other over the music: Jam Master Jay, Tupac, Biggie.
Booth: Do you even know who you're talking about?
Brennan: Yeah, I've done my Googling.Booth: Yeah.
Bones: Listen, you can hear the Alpha male asserting himself.
Booth: (makes some rap noises.) Yeah, fill your ass up…(makes
more noises.) with lead, always a nice theory.
Bones: I’m heading back to the club to meet the FBI forensics
team. I’m getting facts. (grabs her purse)
[Cut to: FBI headquarters. Booth’s office. Hall and his body
guard are talking to Booth.)
Hall: DJ mount was started to break, finally making some money.
For someone who’s never had anything, it can go to your head so he gets
involved with drugs.
Booth: You didn’t know who he was hanging with or who might have
been chasing him?
Hall: A dude like mount. He had a lot of enemies other artist’s
rivalries. Everyone wants to be number one.
Booth: I mean you have to know who the rivals are Mr. Hall. It affects
your bottom line.
Hall: (to body guard) Wait for me by the elevator.
(The body guard leaves and when he gets to the doorway he turns
around and glares at Booth for a moment before continuing on.)
Hall: Rulz.
Booth: What Rulz?
Hall: That’s his name. (sighs) He performs at the club. I try to
keep my crew together, Agent Booth. I always ended up running interference
between those two.
Booth: Why?
Hall: Ask Rulz.
(Hall gets up and leaves.)
[Cut to: Club. Zach is using a camera to look behind the wall
further that the dancer fell through. Bones is watching the small monitor.
Booth is in the background.]
Zach: Was it fun coming to the club?
Bones: Yeah before the drugs and the dead body. Tilt, Tilt
down.
Zach: Seems so primitive, being in a crowd of strangers gyrating
to music.
Bones: (laughs) You’ve never danced?
Zach: I’ve been told I look like a marinate in a wind storm.
Bones: You would have fit right in last night.
Zach: Really?
Bones: (looks at camera) Footprints in the dirt in the termite
shavings. Someone was on the other side of him.
Zach: Light. (turns to Bones) This leads to the outside.
Bones: We need to get inside that wall.
FBI agent: or take it down.
Bones: (to Furst) One last look?
Furst: Take em in show em around.
[Cut to: Booth’s office. Roy Taylor’s father knocks on the open
door frame with a box in his hand. Booth has his back to him.]
Mr. Taylor: Agent Booth?
Booth: Yeah? (turns around)
Mr. Taylor: I’m Roy Taylor’s father, maybe you know him as DJ
Mount?
Booth: Mr. Taylor, please come in.
Mr. Taylor: Thank you for seeing me.
Booth: Please sit.
(Booth sits at his desk and Mr. Taylor takes a seat.)
Mr. Taylor: You’re the one looking into my son’s murder?
Booth: Investigating his death. Yes sir. I’m… sorry for your
loss.
Mr. Taylor: I have some information you need.
Booth: About your son’s death?
Mr. Taylor: No sir, about his life. (places the box on Booth’s
desk.) I’ve been reading in the newspaper how my son was part of the Meth
scene. How he was killed by drugs behind a wall…like that.
(Mr. Taylor opens the box and places a picture of his son in a
graduation photo on it.)
Mr. Taylor: What my son did was graduate third in his class from
high school. He would of graduated first except he….he worked a full time job.
(places some medals on his desk) Track and field medals (pulls out a trophy)
baseball. Roy never drank and he never did drugs. Do you understand me sir?
Booth: Mr. Taylor…
Mr. Taylor: (angry) How they are portraying my boy in the
newspapers is wrong. If his mother was alive it would kill her. I taught him a
relationship with Jesus. Do you understand sir? A personal relationship with
Jesus.
Booth: Will all due respect sir, sometimes when kids grow up
they change, they move away from what they were taught.
(Mr. Taylor takes a ceramic hand print out of the box and holds
it up facing Booth.)
Mr. Taylor: Five years old he made this and a lady, who reads
palms, she looked at it and she said…she said my boy was going to be a great
man, a good man (sniffs) she read no evil in that boys hand.
(Booth takes the ceramic handprint from him and looks at it.)
Booth: I can see that now sir.
Mr. Taylor: (shaken up) Some inequity killed my boy. (tears are
rolling down his face.) You know that word, Agent Booth? It’s from the Bible.
Booth: Deliver me from the workers of inequity and save me from
bloody men. (hands the ceramic back)
Mr. Taylor: You know your Psalms, sir? (sniffs) I can trust that
you will find out what happened to my boy?
Booth: Yes sir.
Mr. Taylor: (puts things back in box.) Good then I’m glad I came
by.
[Cut to: Club. Bones and Zach and an Agent are behind the wall
with flashlights.)
Agent: Can we conform to as much forensic protocol as possible.
Zach: We’re not as bad as you think.
Agent: You know what those are?
Bones: Rats.
Zach: You’re trying to scare us with rats? We’ve been in places
where the rats eat the laces right out of our boots.
Agent: Take it easy there Willard.
Zach: (aims flashlight on floor) There are the footprints.
There are marks on the wall, It’s scraped.
Bones: Blood smear, dried. I see something. (to Agent) Can I
retrieve?
Agent: Yes. (hands a evidence bag to her.)
(Bones picks up something small with her tweezers and puts it in
the bag.)
[Cut to: Lab. Booth is talking with Bones. She has an image of
the object she retrieved on a computer screen blown up.]
Booth: Apparently there’s a rivalry between Mount and this guy
uh, Rulz.
Bones: We saw him perform at the club last night. Did you talk
to him?
Booth: Oh, no I don’t have enough yet. If I go too soon, he
could run.
(Angela walks up and sees the object.)
Angela: Wow that’s a beautiful piece, Zirconium or Diamond?
Bones: I’m more focused on the dried blood and flesh at the
moment.
Angela: (to Booth) Do you buy Tessa jewelry?
Booth: You know I really don’t want to talk about that right
now.
Angela: Too much of a commitment. I just thought because you two
were going away.
Booth: (to Bones) Do you have anything yet?
Bones: Given the right of air convection and the degree of
dehydration of the flesh…I’d say they were there at the same time.
Angela: Must of hurt like hell to get that thing ripped out of
your belly button.
Bones: I thought it was an earring.
Angela: Look at the size of the stud. I had one of these before
they became totally Miami divorcee.
(Hodgins enters holding a glass jar.)
Hodgins: Good news. I was able to pull some particulates.
(Hodgins puts the jar on the table in front of Bones next to the
computer. There are two eyeballs floating in it.)
Booth: Are those?
Hodgins: Eye balls? Yeah, two types of foreign materiel in the
eyes. Low density polyethylene residue and Meth Amphetamine crystals.
Angela: Polyethylene?
Hodgins: It came from the plastic bag holding the Meth.
Bones: (points to belly ring) This can be cleaned now.
(She and Hodgins walk over to the table with the mummy on it and
Angela and Booth continue to talk at the table behind them.)
Angela: Yeah that’s a
real diamond. (to Booth) Hey why don’t you get her a belly button ring? That’s
not too much commitment.
Booth: (laughs) Yeah
that’s not…
Bones: (looking in
mummy’s mouth) The inside of the lips was damaged by the teeth. This was not
an accidentally inhalation. (Booth walks over) The Meth was pushed against his
face with force. Someone was trying to smother him.
Hodgins: Which would
explain how the particulates got into the eye.
Angela: So he didn’t
OD. He was murdered.
Booth: So we just
have to find out who owns this belly button ring.
(Close up of the
belly button ring. It’s a silver heart with a diamond in the center on one side
and on the other is an inscription.)
Angela: (cleaning off
the ring with a q-tip) Look at this, Luv Rulz.
Bones: Well at least
we know who to ask.
[Cut to: Rulz place.
He and a buddy are listening to some tracks.]
Booth: Hello?
Rulz: Yeah it’s open.
Booth: Yeah it’s
open, FBI, special agent Booth.
Rulz: What’s the FBI recruitin
from America’s top model now?
Bones: I’m a forensic
anthropologist with the Jeffersonian.
Booth: She works for
the FBI.
Rulz: Yeah, I can
live with that.
Booth: Yeah and Dr.
Brennan also discovered that Roy Taylor was murdered.
Rulz: So?
Booth: So murder is whacked
see cause those are the rules, Rulz.
Rulz: Maybe he had it
coming to him.
Booth: Ah, so you and
Roy Taylor don’t get along.
Rulz: That sucker ran
me down man. Tried to slam me on one of his tracks and ain’t nobody do that.
Booth: And uh, (grabs
a sheet of paper off the wall) what happens when they do?
Rulz: (snatches the
paper) I take a piece of him. I got in his face one night at the basement and
told him to disappear and I ain’t seen him since cause he knew to follow the
rules. (laughs and sits on couch)
Booth: Ha, Ha and
maybe your uh, girlfriend (shows him the ring in a bag) made sure your uh,
problem just went away.
Rulz: That ain’t my
woman no more. I kicked her sorry ass out months ago.
Booth: What is her
sorry ass name?
Rulz: Eve Warren.
Booth: What was she
doing with Mount?
Rulz: Take a guess. I
guess it’s his turn.
Booth: She kept your
ring?
Rulz: It’s a diamond
man. Why she gonna get rid of that?
Booth: Any idea of
where she is now?
Rulz: Probably
ripping somebody else off. That girl don’t care about anybody but herself. You
know she got a kid? Don’t care about her neither, let her brother shoulder
that, bitch.
Bones
: What happened to your hand?
Rulz: Oh, I got shot through the wrist a few years ago.
Bones: Shattered the lower radius and the pisiform.
Rulz: Yeah. I got some nerve damage, too.
Bones: That's impressive.
Rulz: Yeah. I got shot in the back and through the leg, too. You wanna see the
scars? (stands)Booth: Thanks,
anyway let us know if you ah, hear from Eve?
Rulz: That’s all I
got for ya all. I wanna get back to work. (to buddy) let’s hit it.
Booth: You let us
know if you hear from her.
(Bones is still
amazed by Rulz and doesn’t follow Booth as he leaves. Booth notices this and
turns around.)
Booth: Bones?
Bones: I like this
music.
[Cut to: Bones and
Booth in his SUV]
Booth: Okay, how
about this? DJ Mount trusted Eve because they were sleeping together so she
meets him in the wall, takes the drugs, kills him for Rulz then takes off.
Bones: Yeah, you should
write fiction.
Booth: What? It’s
reasonable.
Bones: It’s not based
on evidence, it’s conjecture.
Booth: Look, I’m
positing a scenario. We’ve been through this before.
Bones: Yeah, and it
always seems to be a waste of time, Now finding a marker on a bone.
Booth: I know, you
know, I think I need a vacation. I think you do too.
Bones: I’m not the
one who’s snippy.
Booth: Snippy? (laughs)
What are you like seventy?
Bones: See what I
mean? I think you should find a nice relaxing place to go on that vacation.
Somewhere where you can get a massage, maybe do some yoga.
Booth: I don’t do
yoga okay, push ups, sit ups, pull ups…that’s what I do.
Bones: Yeah, that’s
more cardiovascular. Yoga deals more with…
Booth: Why exactly
are we talking about this?
Bones: Because you’re
tense.
Booth: Because we’re
talking. (puts in a Rulz CD and starts bobbing his head with a fake smile on) I
switched my music.
[Cut to: Lab. Zach is
laying out the bones of the mummy on a table. Bones enters)
Bones: Roy Taylor?
Zach: Yes.
Bones: Anything pop
out at you now that the bones are clean?
Zach: Some damage to
the facet joint on four and then on C4 on the right side of the neck.
Bones: That suggests
his head was forced that way.
Zach: One other
thing, I was looking at the skull through the microscope (goes to computer
screen) came across a slight depression, barely discernable.
Bones: Slight
indentation.
Zach: Could it be
congenital or a bone anomaly?
Bones: Yeah probably.
(she picks up the skull) Did you ever go on vacation?
Zach: I take my
vacation when you take your vacation.
Bones: What do you
do?
Zach: Go back home to
Michigan, see the family. I have three brothers and four sisters.
Bones: Do you enjoy
that?
Zach: God no. I made
the mistake of telling them I work with corpses and skeletons. They think I’m
a freak.
Bones: Then why do
you go?
Zach: It’s my family,
they love me.
Bones: (hands him
skull) Alright, take a closer look at the anomaly under the scanning microscope
see what made that mark.
[Cut to Eve’s
brothers dance studio. There are dancers out in the main area dancing. Eve’s
brother is in front watching them.]
Brother: What do you
want?
Booth: Special agent
Booth, FBI (nods to Bones) My associate Dr. Brennan.
Bones: What do you
call this? (points to the dancers)
Brother: Romp. Kids
they come here they dance they don’t gang back. So what do you want? Didn’t
come here for a dance lesson. (enters his office where a little girl is
sitting.) Hey Mya, How ya doing baby? (picks her up.)C’mon now you’re going to
go outside and play with the rest of the kids, Okay? (sets her down) there you
go.
Booth: We would like
to ask you a few questions about your sister Eve.
Brother: (sighs) What
has she done now?
Booth: When was the
last time you saw her?
Brother: About six
weeks ago when she dropped off Mya.
Booth: She just
dropped her off and left?
Brother: She told me
she needed me to watch her for a couple of days, left me some money.
Booth: Do you um, happen
to have, I don’t know, a recent photo we might take?
Brother: (sighs) Evie
said she had cleaned herself up, she was turning her life around and I believed
her. She never came back. That little girl out there… that’s her daughter and
she’s like a daughter to me too.
(The brother takes a
picture out of a picture frame and hands it to Booth.)
Booth: Didn’t it
bother you that Eve never came back? I mean didn’t you go look for her?
Brother: (snorts) I
learned to let her go. Eve she’s had a lot of problems, drugs, hanging out
with the wrong people. I mean if I track her down and she takes Mya before
she’s ready…I let nothing happen to that little girl.
Booth: Did you know
Roy Taylor?
Brother: Met him, DJ
Mount, I like his stuff, he’ss pure, I play it for the kids.
Booth: We have reason
to believe that she was with him the night he was murdered.
Brother: (shocked)
Murdered? And you can’t find Evie?
Booth: No
Brother: (shakes head
and sits) She told me she loved him, that she and Mount were going to take Mya
away out of D.C. and give her a better life, one we never had.
Booth: You said she
left you some cash?
Brother: Yeah, for
Mya.
Booth: I’ll buy what
you have, two dollars to the one.
Brother: Sure
whatever.
[Cut to: Lab. Hodgins
is looking in a microscope and Booth is looking over his shoulder.]
Hodgins: You may want
the stooges at the FBI who are experts due to your so called drug war to run a
comparison but I’d say the Meth Amphetamine on these bills match the Meth found
on DJ Mount behind the wall.
Booth: Yeah my guess
is that Eve was with Mount at the time he was murdered.
Get this (pats him on
shoulder) huh?…DJ Mount rejects Eve because of her questionable past so uh,
hey, she gets mad she wants to leave with some money, so what?
(Hodgins looks up at
him.)
Bones: What?
Hodgins: Yeah, I
don’t really think that much about that kind of stuff. I’m more about bugs and
minerals, sorry.
Booth: Ah, come on
Hodgins. Hey, you’re a smart guy, you’re a smart guy (snaps his fingers at him)
Come on look up from your microscope huh? These are real people we are trying
to figure out here. Okay.
Hodgins: Maybe she was
using Mount, setting him up to get his drugs and money.
Booth: Very nice
Hodgins.
Hodgins: Yeah?
Booth: Yeah.
Hodgins: The real
question is where does she go next?
Booth: You are on
fire man.
Hodgins: After she
left her brother’s place because that is where she met her untimely end.
Booth: You know what;
I am going to turn you into an investigator yet.
Hodgins: Naw, no, no,
no bugs and slime dude that is where I’m happy.
[Cut to: Angela’s
office. Angela is sitting at a computer screen running a simulation. Bones is
standing watching her.]
Bones: The damage to
his c4 vertebrae was a result of his head being twisted so far to the right.
Angela: (points to
simulation) He was moving this way toward Eve.
(Booth walks in)
Booth: My bet was he
was chasing her.
Bones: And that’s based
on?
Booth: Money and
Meth, She left that corridor carrying money saturated with the same Meth that
killed Mount. She was moving fast.
Angela: She didn’t
even stop when her belly ring got ripped out.
Booth: I mean money
is a pretty good reason to get chased, Hmm? The only question is why wasn’t he
facing her?
Angela: It got tight
back there, fifteen centimeters. Eve ripped out her belly button ring here and
then left a smear of blood until the corridor widened here.
Bones: Oh, god. (exhales and looks sick.)
Angela: What?
Bones: That just uh, makes me a little sick.
Angela: You pick dead bodies out of mass graves and yanking out a belly button
ring makes you sick?
Booth: Okay, okay, okay. I’ve shot a lot of people in my time and
I’ve got to admit that whole belly button thing makes me nauseas too.
Bones: Thank you.
Angela: At this point Mount must have looked behind him but kept
going. Then the passage way narrowed so he couldn’t turn his head back toward
Eve.
Bones: Then there is no way she could have shoved the Meth into
his face. Eve didn’t kill him.
Booth: The third person surprised him that’s why he turned his
head to look.
Bones: Mounts body prevented this third person from getting to
Eve so she escaped.
Booth: But he got to
Mount, shoved the Meth in his face and he killed him. Ah, but the real question
is who the hell is this third person?
[Cut to: Questioning
room. Booth is questioning the body guard.]
Body guard: Why the
hell did you pick me up?
Booth: I think you
know why I brought you in.
Body guard: Yeah
right.
Booth: I waited for
you to contact me explain the situation but you didn’t do that. That’s not
polite. What are you DEA, metro cop?
Body guard: I’m Special
Agent Ronald Oaks.
Booth: One of us?
Oaks: My orders were
not to break deep cover for anybody, out of deep regard for my FBI brother I
gave you the nod.
Booth: (laughs)
That’s bull. (leans forward) I made you, now you’re making excuses.
Oaks: Do you got any
keys for these cuffs?
Booth: Fine. (throws
the keys to him) Your way, you know, I need more then a nod man. You know, I’m
conducting a murder investigation. Now I need to know what you know.
Oaks: I’m fifteen
months on a task force investigating the links between the urban music business
and gang activity.
Booth: So that’s why
you got an axe to Randall Hall?
Oaks: Randal Hall is
a clean alias. You ran him right?
Booth: Yeah.
Oaks: Came back clean.
Booth: Mm. Hm.
Oaks: Exactly, he’s
real name is Terrance Baskin. Now we know that he’s pushing Meth through that
club but we can’t get enough to touch him. Our informants disappear, they
either get bought off or they get killed.
Booth: What about
this murder?
Oaks: The night that
DJ Mount disappeared, Hall got ripped off with a mountain of Meth and a ton of cash.
Booth: DJ Mount
ripped off Hall?
Oaks: No it doesn’t
scan. Mount was into Jesus not drug.
Booth: Who killed DJ
Mount?
Oaks: Halls people do
that type of stuff for him. So if anybody asks why’d you have me arrested?
Booth: Weapons beef
Oaks: So I don’t get
my gun back?
Booth: No (laughs)
no.
Oaks: If we meet up
again, if you get an excuse, hit me.
Booth: That uh, you
can count on it.
[Cut to: Club. There
is nobody in the club but Hall, Oaks, Bones and Booth. Hall is talking to Booth
with Bones standing by him and Oaks is sitting and reading a paper.]
Hall: I’ve been
investigated for years. Why do you think they never got me on anything?
Booth: Because you’re
so smart?
Hall: Because Terrance
Baskin is my past. I’m one hundred percent clean now. This is my life now. This
and my record label not crystal Meth… not gang banging.
Bones: Yet much of
the iconic quality of the urban music lies in the perceived or actual rivalry
between the principal artists.
Hall: Where did you
find her?
Booth: Museum.
Bones: Was the
rivalry between Mount and Mr. Rulz strong enough to…lead to murder?
Hall: Sure they’re
both capable, add in the fact that Mount was sleeping with Rulz girlfriend,
Eve. Yeah in fact…
Booth: Yeah?
Halls: Rulz built
himself a studio around that time, poured cement for the pad a day after they
disappeared.
Bones: So?
Hall: I’m saying,
Mount’s dead, Eve’s gone missing. You might want to consider that. (to body
guard) Let’s go.
(They leave.)
Bones: What do ya
think?
Booth: What do I
think? I uh, think we need to find a way to find a body buried under a slab of
cement?
Bones: Well can’t you
get a warrant?
Booth: I’ll look
around the premises, maybe but no way to tear it up.
Bones: Let me make a
phone call.
[Cut to: Rulz
studio. There’s a female dog handler with her dog. Bones and Booth are with
them.]
Bones: (to Booth) Toody
has traveled the world finding dead bodies.
Booth: Does Toody
always drool like that?
(Bones and the dog
handler look at him annoyed.)
Booth: What? Am I
going to hurt her or his feelings?
(Brushes his shirt
off.)
Handler: Toody is the
best cadaver dog in the world, Agent Booth.
Bones: It’s true. If
you were a dead body, you’d want Toody looking for ya?
Booth: How can he
smell anything buried under a building?
Bones: He can. Once I
saw Toody find a dead body wrapped in plastic under concrete after four years.
Handler: Toody can
smell decaying blood on a tooth six feet under ground. I mean so what he drools
a little. What’s up with that? You know, you’re eyes are kinda close together
but I don’t comment.
Booth: I apologize.
Handler: Is he
sincere?
Bones: Yeah.
Handler: Alright then,
we accept.
(Toody smells the
floor then lies down and whimpers a little)
Handler: Good boy
Toody. Toody found something.
Booth: Maybe he’s
just lazy.
Bones: Lying down is
his indicator. (takes chalk and circles around Toody) Toody found it. There’s
a body under here. You should get a warrant to bring in a jack hammer for the
floor. (pets dog) I’d start digging here.
[Cut to: Lab. Zach is
holding up x-rays of teeth. Hodgins comes over with his report.]
Zach: Dental records
confirm that this is Eve Warren.
Hodgins: Insect
activity confirms that she died around the same time DJ mount did.
Bones: Where did
Booth go? I’ve got to give him the news.
Hodgins: His
girlfriend brought him a change of shirt.
Zach: They’re up in
the lounge.
Bones: What? Zach
clean the bones.
Zach: We’ve already
got cause of death and identity. What am I looking for?
Bones: It might be
grasping but that odd mark we found on Mount’s skull…see if you can find
anything like it on Eve’s remains for me.
[Cut to: Lab Lounge. Tessa
is with Booth giving him his new shirt. Angela is talking with them.]
Angela: Jamaica? God that’s incredible.
Tessa: Mm. It’s a bed
and breakfast. There are these coral cliffs…
Booth: Snorkeling,
kayaking.
Angela: Oh, you two
are so ready for the pre-shacking up test vacation.
Booth: What do you
mean?
Angela: You have keys
to each others places. You’ve done the weekend away a couple of times. Yeah,
it’s time for the ten day vacation. You know, Jamaica is like a dry run for
living together only with Rum punch and steel drums. (walks off.)
Tessa: (to Angela)
Yeah, see you later. (to Booth) Living together…that’s silly.
Booth: Thanks uh, for
bringing me a shirt.
Tessa: Yeah okay.
I’ll talk to you later.
(Booth and Tessa kiss
and she goes to leave as Bones walks up.)
Bones: Hi Tessa.
Tessa: Yeah, okay. Bye.
Bones: It’s Eve
Warren.
Booth: Eve Warren.
Okay, cause of death?
Bones: Same as Mount.
Booth: Meth
overdosed.
Bones: Well pushed in
the face but there’s more…I don’t think that Rulz killed her.
Booth: She was buried
under his studio
Bones: But her wrists
were broken.
[Cut to: Holographic
part of lab. Bones, Booth, and Angela are there. They are looking at Eve’s
skeleton in the Hologram.]
Bones: Bone damage
indicates that Eve was taken from behind and smashed into a wall.
Angela: Her skull
shows damage to both the infer orbital and super orbital margins and the zygomatic
process.
Booth: Zygo…zu…You
said she was killed by crystal Meth.
Bones: She was, she
would have been hurt and stunned by the blow but not killed, certainly not
immediately.
Angela: The bag of
crystal Meth was placed over her face actually ground into her wounds into the
airway.
Booth: Wait, Rulz
couldn’t have smashed her into a wall?
Bones: Her radius was
separated from the scaphoid and trapezium.
Angela: Her right
wrist was twisted hard behind her back. There’s damage to both the elbow and
the shoulder as well. For that to happen, Eve’s attacker would have had to
twist her arm up with his right hand while jamming the crystal Meth into her
face with the other.
Bones: Both with a
great deal of force.
Booth: Ah, Rulz has
been shot twice in the right hand, I got it. He had nerve damage.
Bones: There’s no way
he had the strength to kill Eve Warren.
[Cut to: FBI
headquarters, questioning room. Bones and Booth are in the room with DJ Rulz]
Bones: You did not
murder Eve Warren.
Rulz: This is a weird
kind of interrogation, huh? Cops telling me what I didn’t do.
Booth: Well then do
me a favor, tell me Bones is wrong and uh, confess to a murder. Huh?
Rulz: Hell no man.
What you think I’m some type of idiot.
Booth: Well do me a
favor, deny it.
Rulz: Ah, see you got
tricks. You’re going to twist all my words around so I better not say anything
at all.
Bones: You didn’t
kill Eve Warren.
Rulz: So you say. The
Rulz says say nothing.
Booth: He wants us to
hold him.
Bones: Why?
Booth: Why? Because every
time some rapper gets murdered his business goes straight through the roof.
Rulz: You know why should
DJ mount get the bump? Maybe it’s my turn.
Booth: I’ll tell you what;
I’ll make you a better deal. You tell us what we need to know and I’ll have
those charges laid against you. Hmm, put you in the Remand center.
Rulz: For how long?
Booth: Well that
depends on what you tell us.
Bones: Wait! Wait,
you’re negotiating to put this guy in jail?
Booth: I’ll sweeten
the pot and charge you with Mount’s death too but you hire ah, one of those
moron lawyers and you ah, be thrown in lockup for what, maybe a month?
Rulz: (smiling) Sweet
Bones: Where am I in
backwards world?
Booth: What do you
got?
Rulz: Look, I could
tell you all why Mount got killed but you all have to figure out the rest on
your own.
Bones: Uh, we have to
figure it out just from motive?
Booth: Hey look
Bones, this is you know, sorta my thing.
Rulz: Mount was gonna
jump.
Bones: You mean
commit suicide?
Rulz: Where did you
find her?
Booth: Museum.
Rulz: I mean labels,
jump labels.
Booth: (laughs)
You’re saying that DJ Mount was going to leave basement records?
Rulz: Look all he
needed was the money to buy himself back, that’s why he got himself killed. Now
if Hall even finds out that I told you all that much, I’m going to end up some
dried out mummy in a wall.
Bones: But what about
Eve?
Rulz: Man, Eve
couldn’t kill nobody. You know, sex em to death maybe but that’s about it. Oh
and there’s one more thing, the next day, Hall built me a new studio. He took
it out of my money too, so you going to put me in jail?
Booth: Hey, well you
know, hey it’s the least we can do, Hmm?
[Cut to: Lab. The
raised platform area. Booth and Bones are walking up the steps.]
Booth: Okay how about
this? Hall has enough motive to kill Mount. Why? Because he’s jumping labels
and he’s running away with some girl who’s stealing Halls Meth and money.
Bones: I’m starting
to see how this whole motive thing works.
Booth: Thank you.
Bones: It’s still
murky psychological guess work though.
Zach: Dr. Brennan, I
uh, found a mark on Eve Warren. Here…on the manubrium.
Bones: Compare it to
the mark on mount.
Booth: Okay, Eve
tells Mount that she wants to start a new life so she rips off the dope and the
cash thinking she can build a new future with it.
Bones: That’s a
story, Booth. You need to find something real.
Booth: I mean why? It
feels real to me. I mean Eve is a woman in love who’s trying to escape a world
that is just crushing her. Hm? Alright, Mount finds out how much trouble the
woman he’s in love with is in so he gives up his own life to protect her.
That’s not enough. They were hoping for a better life and they wound up dead.
Zach: Looks like a
match.
Bones: Thanks, good
job.
(Bones goes over to
Zach at the computer to look at the comparisons side by side.)
Booth: What the hell
is that?
Bones: I’m not sure.
It’s a bone dimple but they both have it so it can’t be genetic. Something
external caused it but I’m not sure what.
Booth: Randall Hall,
he’s behind this. Randall Hall, okay? He killed these two people. We know it,
he did it. We just can’t touch him and there’s no evidence linking him to the drugs,
the cash, or either body except for a couple of damn bone dimples.
Bones: I’ll keep
looking at the remains, maybe find the evidence we need.
Booth: I can’t let it
stand.
Bones: What?
Booth: You know what?
I’m going to spread the pain. Alright, that’s my new motto.
(Booth turns and
leaves. Bones chases behind him.)
Bones: Wait, I can
help spread pain. Wait.
[Cut to: Halls club.
The club is empty. Oaks and Hall are standing while Booth is sitting on a
couch looking at a magazine. Bones is there also standing off to the side.]
Booth: Yeah we know
you did it.
Hall: What?
Booth: Killed Mount
in that wall so he wouldn’t leave the label.
Bones: You killed Eve
Warren.
Booth: Killed her and
buried her under Rulz studio. In the meantime this is going to have to remain
an active crime scene.
Hall: That’s
harassment. I’ll sue. (walks over to Booth)
Booth: I’m going to
harass you every chance I get.
(Hall pokes Booth in
the chest with the top part of his cane.)
Hall: I’m not
somebody you want to mess with.
Booth: Did you just
poke me? (laughs and stands) Did he just poke me with his little stick?
Hall: This is my
place. I want to poke someone I do it.
(He goes to poke
Booth again but Booth grabs his cane and twists it. Hall stumbles backwards
and Oaks pulls a gun on Booth pointing it at his head. Booth grabs the gun and
twists it and hits Oaks in the face with the top part of the cane. He hands
Bones his gun and she points it at Oaks on the floor. Booth points the cane at
Hall on the floor.)
Booth: Alright, how
easily do you think I scare?
(Booth holds the cane
with both hands and lifts it up to break it over his knee.)
Bones: Hey Booth!
Don’t break the cane. Arrest him and confiscate the cane as evidence.
Booth: What?
Bones: I need the
cane.
Booth: Arrest him for
what? (points to Oaks) He’s the guy who pointed a gun at a Federal agent.
Bones: Uttering
threats or smelling bad or anything. It’s the cane we want.
Booth: Fine, here.
(hands cane to Bones) Randal Hall, I’m placing you under arrest for the assault
of a Federal agent. (handcuffs Hall.)
Hall: This will never
go to court.
Booth: Ah, let’s go
find out. (to Oaks) Next time I take your gun away from you , I’ll shoot you
with it.
Oaks: Well then I
better not let you get my gun again.
(They smirk at each
other.)
Booth: (to Hall) Come
on. Let’s go.
[Cut to: Lab. Hodgins
puts a bullet proof vest over Zach’s head. Angela and Bones are watching.]
Angela: (to Bones) Get
this, I called Tessa to tell her a couple of places she should check out in Jamaica, she’s not going.
Bones: What happened?
Angela: Well, she
said that something came up at work but I know the truth.
Hodgins
