TRANSCRIPT:
2X22 - STARGAZER IN A PUDDLE
==========================


Crime Scene – B&B work their way through a partially flooded foundation
Brennan: You should have worn the gumboots.

Booth: I’m fine! You know, I’m...I’m agile...So, Hodgins asked Angela to marry him.

Brennan: Twice.

Booth: Oh, and she turned him down? Both times?

Booth: I heard all this from Angela.

Booth: Yeah, but did she tell you that he said that he was...he wasn’t gonna ask her to marry him?

Brennan: Yes.

Booth: And she said...

Brennan: „I’d like to marry you.“

Booth: Kind of sudden, Bones. Let me think about it.

Brennnan: What? No, Booth, that’s what Angela told Hodgins.

(Booth laughs)

Brennan: You’re joking. You know, a lot of psychologists say that jokes are the way we manifest our hidden desires.

Booth: Yeah...(Booth steps into a big puddle) Geez!

Brennan: Are you okay?

Booth: Yeah, I’m fine. (A cop appears) What do we got?

Cop: During a foot pursuit last night, suspect tosses a knife into an effort to avoid incarceration. The effluent gets drained, we start finding stuff.

Brennan: Define „stuff.“

Cop: Stuff...cell phones, guns, knives, crack vials. Evidently, you want to lose something in this vicinity, you toss it in here. The miscreants probably think it’s some sort of bottomless pit.

Brennan: Does the word „concise“ mean anything to you?

Cop: Well, we found that. Concise enough?

(Brennan walks through the water and we see a small highly decomposed skeleton hanging out of a shopping cart)

Booth: Small. Is it a kid?

Brennan: Female. Pelvic girdle and skull sutures suggest preadolescent (Brennan looks around, spots something) A child’s pencil case.

Booth: How long has she been dead?

Brennan: Does this freeze over in the winter?

Cop: Yeah. Solid.

Brennan: It’s possible she was placed here as long ago as last fall.

Booth: Cause of death?

Brennan: It looks like a gunshot wound to the back of the head.

Booth: Can you guess the caliber?

Brennan: Nothing larger than a 22.

Booth: Find any 22s?

Cop: Two.

Booth: All right, let’s get an FBI forensic team down here and search for bullet fragments.

Cop: I’ll go call it in right now.

(Brennan finds a small stone which was wrapped around the victim’s hand. It has a message on it: I love you. Brennan shows it Booth)

Booth: „I love you“

Brennan: You said that pedophiles can delude themselves into thinking they love their victims.

Jeffersonian, Medico-Legal-Lab – Hodgins analyze crime scene evidence and is talking to Angela
Hodgins: A nice traditonal church service. Very ecumencial.

Angela: That’s great. As long as the reception makes Caligula blush.

Hodgins: Let’s hope he got his invitation.

(Angela laughs and spots a collection of marble-sized „moon and stars“)

Angela: Hey, what are those?

Hodgins: They were found in this case. Probably belonged to the victim. And these are water samples teeming with organismus. I found an inordinately large number of dead fairy shrimp in the mud beneath the remains. I will not make a „clap for Tinkerbell“ joke (Both laugh) How about we not discuss child murder and our upcoming nuptials in the same conversation.

Angela: That’s a good idea. Hey, do you want me to....change my name?

Hodgins: Do you want me to want you to change your name? (Angela looks at him, they kiss and Angela exits)

Jeffersonian, Brennan’s Office – Brennan shows Booth an X- ray film on a screen
Brennan: Do you know what you’re looking at?

Booth: The neck bone. That’s...connected to the shoulder bone.

Brennan (smiles): There’s arthritic lipping here and here, on the posterior dens.

Booth: Arthritis?

Brennan: For this to occur she had to...she had to look up like this (Brennan is looking at the ceiling)

Booth: Maybe she prayed a lot.

Brennan: Four to six hours a day? What did she want so badly?

(Max Keenan, Brennan’s father enters)

Max Keenan: Her father? Hey, baby.

Brennan: Dad.

Max Keenan: Booth.

(Booth pulls his gun)

Booth: Put your hands up.

Brennan: Booth! (Brennan stands up)

Max Keenan: I was hoping that we could get a drink or something before this part.

Booth: Max Keenan, you’re under arrest as an escaped felon.

Max Keenan: Oh, okay, so I guess that’s „no“ on the drink, huh?

Booth: Bones, grab the cuffs out of my back pocket there.

Brennan: No.

Booth: What do you mean no? Bones...

Max Keenan: It’s okay, baby.

Brennan: I don’t want to handcuff my own father. Plus, remember when he saved your life?

Max Keenan: Hey, just throw them over here. I’ll do it myself.

Booth: He’s telling me what to do. Put your hands on the wall.

Brennan: Dad, what are you doing here?

Max Keenan: I heard you were getting married.

Brennan: What? No. Angela’s getting married to Hodgins, not me.

(Booth handcuffs Max Keenan)

Max Keenan: Oh, the bug guy. Well, that’s great.

Booth: Will you shut up, please? (He looks at Brennan)...long enough for me to mirandize him.

Max Keenan: You got the right to remain silent. Got it. We’ll talk more later.

Booth: Look, I’m sorry, Bones, but he killed the Deputy Director of the FBI. I’m just doing my job.

Brennan (painful): It’s okay. (Brennan looks at her father) He’s right.

Max Keenan: Kisses, baby.

(Booth and Max Keenan exit, Angela enters)

Angela (amazed): Uh, sweetie...was that your dad?

(Brennan nods)

Justice Department, Interrogation Room – Max Keenan waits while Booth is talking to Asst. US Attorney Caroline Julian

Booth: What do you mean that’s not Max Keenan?

Caroline Julian: Cherie, you know that’s Max Keenan, and I know that’s Max Keenan, but to the rest of the world, that man is a hardworking electrician from Coos Bay, Oregon, named Art McGregor.

Booth: That electrician was a bank robber for 15 years and murdered two FBI agents.

Caroline Julian: Only one was still an agent at the time of his demise.

Booth: The guy was Deputy Director!

Caroline Julian: And a crooked, murdering son of a bitch, not to speak ill of the dead (She searchs a purse) Driver’s license, credit cards, tax returns...And this libary card was issued 11 years ago.

Booth: A complete history?

Caroline Julian: Yes. We’ll keep digging, but Cherie, I don’t know.

Booth: I gotta cut that guy loose?

Caroline Julian: Legally speaking, that man is a law-abiding, tax-paying, fully certified, dues-paying member of the international brotherhood of....

Booth: Yeah, yeah, yeah (He leaves and enters the Interrogation Room)

Caroline Julian: since 1984.

(Booth throws a record and a purse on the table, and removes Max Keenan’s cuffs)

Booth: Tell me something, Max, on a job site, what’s the most hazardous classification for an electricican?

Max Keenan: Class 1, Division 1. You planning a career change?

(Booth takes Keenan’s glass but doesn’t touch it)

Max Keenan: Ah, you’re checking out my prints.

Booth: Max, you know I like you and I hate to hurt Bones, but it’s my job to catch you. And I’m very good at my job.

Max Keenan: You’d have to be to work with my daughter. What do you say? Shake hands with an old con. Or is that bad for the FBI image?

Booth: You abandoned her as a child. You don’t think she feels that, every time you pop in and out of her life?

Max Keenan (smiles): You’re just saying that so I’ll hit you. Then you got a reason to lock me up. 20 years ago....that would have worked (He exits)

Jeffersonian, Medico-Legal-Lab – Zack and Brennan talk
Zack: Your estimate was correct. This hole is consistent with a 22 caliber slug. I learned „slug“ from Cam. It’s a...colloquialism for projectile.

Brennan: Which so far the FBI has been unable to find.

(Angela enters)

Angela: Okay, I have a face, but you are not going to like it.

(Angela shows them the face of an old woman on a screen)

Brennan: That is an old woman.

Zack: I provided you with the tissue data for a ten-year-old Caucasian female.

Angela: Well, when I actually held the skull and started...the tissue markers felt wrong.

Brennan: Angela, with all due respect to your art, facial reconstruction is a science.

Angela: It’s both, babe, and this time art made science her bitch.

(Zack looks outraged)

Angela: Hey, moan all you want. I stand by this.

Brennan: We should recheck for other indications that we got the age wrong.

Zack: Because art made science her bitch?

Brennan: Because the lipping on the vertebrae had to have been caused by looking up over a period of several years.

Zack: That’s a scientific rationale for rechecking.

(Zack leaves and Brennan turns to leave)

Angela: Hey, Brennan. I’d like to ask you a favor. Well, it’s not so much ask a favor as, as extend an honor. I mean, I hope you see it as an honor and don’t think of it as some onerous duty, which I don’d think you will, but then again I’ve never done this before...

Brennan (smiles): Angela...just ask.

Angela: Will you be my maid of honor? At the wedding?

(Brennan suddenly hugs Angela)

Angela: Is that yes?

Brennan: I am...completely, totally honored.

Angela: Really? I thought I’d have to tell you...

Brennan: I don’t even care how awful the bridesmaid dresses are. I’m....(hugs Angela again) so glad you asked me.

(Angela laughs and smiles)

Brennan’s Apartment – Brennan looks at a photo of Russ and her father, while she talks with her father
Max Keenan: I have your brother set up in a little auto supply place. It’s a...shade-tree mechanic situation.

Brennan: You set him up where? Oregon?

Max Keenan: It’s better that you don’t know. He’s, uh, - in violation of his parole.

Brennan: Because you made him leave the state.

Max Keenan: Your brother is on a slippery slope and....yeah, I know, I know, the irony of me being a good influence, but it’s true, I am (Brennan laughs)

Max Keenan: It’s nice to see you smile. That’s, that’s something.

Brennan: Booth is going to find proof of who you are. Then he’ll arrest you.

Max Keenan: Not tonight.

Brennan: Did you come here just to tell me that Russ is okay?

Max Keenan: No, actually, I have something for you that....that belonged to your grandmother (He shows her an antique ring)

Brennan: I have a grandmother?

Max Keenan: I know your mother and I told you that you didn’t have grandparents, but...Try it on.

Brennan (hesitately takes the ring): I....I have to go to bed (she stands up and gives Max the ring back) There are some inconsistencies with the remains, which I have to address first thing in the morning.

Max Keenan: Okay.

Brennan: You’re welcome...to stay here if....you want.

Max Keenan: The couch would be great.

Brennan: No, Dad, I, I made up the guest room in case you...(They look at each other) Good night (Brennan kisses him on the cheek and leaves)

Justice Department, Booth Office – Booth and Caroline Julian talk
Caroline Julian: His fingerprints don’t match?

Booth: There’s nothing to compare them to.

Caroline Julian: Max Keenan got himself wiped from the system?

Booth: That’s right.

Caroline Julian: Who is this guy? Some sort of super-criminal?

Booth: It must have been Deputy Director Kirby. Yeah, he wanted Max dead, so...he made him invisible first.

Caroline Julian: That would be an ironic twist, seeing as how you want to arrest Max for Kirby’s murder.

(Booth looks thoughtful)

Caroline Julian: You don’t have doubts about catching this guy, do you? I mean, he is your partner’s father.

Booth: No. Bones gets it.

Caroline Julian: You hope she does (she stands up) I’ll get you a warrant to collect a DNA sample from the man. You find something to compare it to (she exits)

Jeffersonian, Medico-Legal-Lab – Zack and Brennan talk
Zack: No wisdom teeth suggests prepubescence. The lower bone plate and the radius have not fused.

Brennan: Angela’s wrong. The victim was not yet 20.

Zack: Hmm....

Brennan: What?

Zack: The arthritic lipping on the vertebrae, degeneration in the collarbone, spiking on the superior articular  process. And all the large bones in her body show osteolytis and advanced deterioration.

(Angela and Hodgins enter)

Angela: Meaning Angela was right.

Zack: Meaning you were not wrong, which is not the same as being right.

Brennan: Progeria...She had one of the aging diseases.

Angela: Anyone want to hear about the hit my sketch got off the NCIC database?

(On the screen appears a profile)

Brennan: Chelsea Cole...age 22, went missing last November. Good, Angela. Really good.

(Brennan and Angela exit)

Hodgins: Zack?

Zack: I really should’ve thought of that. A disease which prevents the sufferer from entering puberty, but simultaneously ages her otherwise.

Hodgins: I’d like to ask you to be my best man on Saturday.

Zack: Things aren’t always either-or. Sometimes they’re both.

Hodgins: At my wedding. Saturday. To Angela. My best man.

Zack: When do I have to decide?

Hodgins: You have to think about it?

Zack: Yes.

Hodgins: Fine. Let me know what you decide.

B&B talk to the victim’s mother, Cynthia Cole
Cynthia Cole (cries): You found her in a shopping cart?

Booth: Yes.

Cynthia Cole: From Tuft’s Grocery?

Brennan: How did you know that?

Cynthia Cole: Chelsea loved Tufts’s. Give her a dollar and she’d go down there and buy a candy bar or some cheap toy (Brennan is walking around and looks at a wall full of star and planet drawings) Everybody knew Chelsea, walking along with one small thing in a big cart, bringing it home to show me.

Brennan: Did Chelsea draw these?

Cynthia Cole: Yes.

Booth (stands up): She’s 22 years old. These are the drawings of a young child.

Cynthia Cole: Chelsea had a....condition.

Brennan: Werner’s syndrome.

Cynthia Cole: How did you know?

Booth: What’s that?

Brennan: It’s an aging disease in which mental development can be a factor. Your daughter spent...a long time looking up.Correct?

Cynthia Cole: Chelsea was obsessed with the stars. She thought they were signals from heaven, showing people...the way home.

Booth: Mrs. Cole, when Chelsea disappeared, you gave the police a name?

Cynthia Cole: Joe Mellon. He was a caretaker provided by the city while I was going to classes at community college. One night I came home from class and her hair smelled like the shampoo I use...lemons. I always use baby shampoo on Chelsea.

Booth: That, that wasn’t part of his job....bathing Chelsea?

Cynthia Cole: Definitely not! I complained to Child Services, and they....launched an investigation.

Brennan: Which ended as soon as Chelsea disappeared?

Cynthia Cole: I guess so.

Booth: No victim.....no crime.

Justice Department, Interrogation Room – B&B interview Joe Mellon
(On a screen we see a photo of Chelsea and her mother)

Joe Mellon: I absolutely... did not molest Chelsea Cole.

Booth: Why’d Child Service let you go?

Joe Mellon: They didn’t let me go. They reassigned me because they knew I didn’t do anything wrong.

Booth: What did you not do wrong, Joe?

Joe Mellon: Chelsea Cole had the mental capacity of a six-year-old. She got jam all over her and freaked out from being sticky. That’s why I ran her a bath. And I sat outside the bathroom door and made her talk to me while she was in the tub. She used her mom’s shampoo and it stung her eyes. She cried. I went in and rinsed the soap out of her eyes and I went back out and let her get dressed, which is what she told her mother, who did not listen.

Booth: Then why is Cynthia Cole so insistent that you were inappropriate with her daughter?

Joe Mellon: I crossed the line, man. I....suggested that Cynthia consider an alternate solution for Chelsea.

Booth: What? Like an institution?

Joe Mellon: The woman was exhausted. She, she was looking like crap. She was failing all of her college courses. She couldn’t hold onto a job. Everything was going downhill.

Booth: Listen, Joe. I want you to look me in the eye, and tell me that you never touched that little girl.

Joe Mellon: I wiped the soap out of her eyes. And I wrapped a towel around her. That’s it.

Royal Diner – Brennan and her father sit together and share a meal
Max Keenan (he is holding the antique ring): This ring was passed down from oldest daughter to oldest daughter. It was a tradition in your mother’s side of the family.

Brennan: You told Russ and me that we didn’t have any relatives.

Max Keenan: Well, honey, we were underground. We had new names. We had to tell you that.

Brennan: What’s the truth?

Max Keenan: Your mother’s the oldest of three sisters, and if you want to seek them out, you show them the ring, they’ll know who you are and accept you into the family.

Brennan: What about on your side?

Max Keenan: Your mother was the only family I ever knew. And you and Russ.

Brennan (has tears in her eyes): You abandoned me for 15 years.

Max Keenan: And I’ll do whatever I can to make repairs.

Brennan: While running away from the FBI?

Max Keenan: I have more. A message from your mother. On videotape.

Brennan (cries): Well...what does she say?

Max Keenan: I don’t know. It’s for you. When you’re ready.

(Booth enters)

Booth: I am sorry to interrupt, but I have a warrant here to...take a DNA sample from you, Mr. Arthur McGregor from Coos Bay, Oregon.

(Max nods and Brennan is looking at Booth)

Booth: I‘m really sorry.

Jeffersonian, Medico-Legal-Lab – Zack is working on a skull and Hodgins joins him
Hodgins: Zack?

Zack: There’s a realclification around this hole. It healed.

Hodgins: Zack, I’m getting married Saturday. Two short days, man. I need to know if you’ll stand up with me.

(Zack hands him a letter)

Hodgins: I don’t need a formal response. A simple „yes“ would...(he sees it’s a request from the president) Iraq? You can’t go to Iraq.

Zack: The president is asking me personally.

Hodgins: No. Not personally. The president has a machine to sign for him. He’s probably talking to every forensic anthropologist in the country. You can’t go to Iraq. No. No way. You, you stay here and you be my best man. You let someone else go.

Zack: He’s says I’m at the forefront of my field, that my country needs me.

Hodgins: You can’t go to Iraq. Zack. Will you be my best man or not?

Zack: No.

Hodgins: Why?

Zack: Because, if I decide to do what the president wants, and go to Iraq and get killed, you won’t be able to remember your wedding with happiness.

Hodgins: Okay, big assumption there, buddy.

Zack: Rationally speaking, I’m not good at social ritual. You should ask Booth.

Hodgins: Everything isn’t rational.

Zack: It should be. I no longer believe this is a bullet hole. I believe this was created by a drill.

B&B talk to Cynthia Cole
(Brennan is looking at the star and planet drawings)

Cynthia Cole: Chelsea had brain surgery when she was three.

Booth: They had to drill into her skull?

Cynthia Cole: Yes, to relieve the pressure.

Brennan: These are accurate.

Cynthia Cole: I beg your pardon?

Brennan: These are all constellations (Brennan points some drawings out) Centaurus, Aquarius...Gemini.

Cynthia Cole: I knew Chelsea loves the stars but I never thought  her drawings were actually...They’re real?

Brennan: This one’s Delphinius. The Dolphin. It was....my favorite when I was a child. My mother and I both loved dolphins. So that was something that we...(Booth is looking at her) shared.

Booth: Mrs. Cole, why exactly did...your daughter require brain surgery?

Cynthia Cole: Why do you ask it like that? You think I did something to Chelsea.

Brennan: Head injuries are....extremely common in children who are physically abused.

(Cynthia Cole is looking at her watch)

Cynthia Cole: Excuse me, but it’s very important that I take my medication on time (She stands up and takes a few containers with medicine) My dauhter, at age three, fell out of bed. She didn’t stop crying until I took her to the hospital. She had the surgery. It was because of that injury that they discoverd that she had the aging disease. Did Joe Mellon tell you that I physically abused my daughter because I grabbed her arm once? Once?

Booth Car
(Booth answers his phone, it’s Hodgins)

Booth: Booth.

Hodgins: Dude...will you stand up for me on Saturday?

Booth: Against who?

Hodgins: No. I mean....be my best man?

Booth: Sure. Wow.

Hodgins: I know. Big honor.

Booth: No, no, no. Yeah, that, but, you know, you didn’t give me much time to put a bachelor party together.

Hodgins: No bachelor party.

Brennan: Is that Hodgins?

Booth: Yeah. He wants me to be his best man. Well, if there’s no bachelor party what do you want me to do?

Hodgins: Stand there. Make a toast. Hand over the ring. Tongue-kiss the maid of honor at the reception when people clink glasses.

Booth: Nice. Excellent. Okay,who’s the maid of honor?`

Hodgins: No idea, but most of Angela’s friends are really hot.

Brennan: Well, I’m the maid of honor (Booth is looking at her) Why?

Booth: Uh, listen, do you need me to, uh, connect with the brides’s father? Put together the, uh, the toast, the speeches and all that?

(Hodgins is looking horrified)

Booth: Hodgins, are you there?

Hodgins: Angela’s father. Oh, I forgot all about him (puts down the phone)

Brennan: She has AIDS.

Booth (amazed): Angela?!

Brennan: Cynthia Cole, the victim’s mother. HIV or AIDS.

Booth: What, all that medicine she took?

Brennan: I recognized one of them. We’ll ask Cam.

Jeffersonian - Hodgins, Zack and Cam are walking through the hallways while talking about the case
Hodgins: In the mud sample taken from beneath the remains, I found a high concentration of dead anostraca.

Zack: Also known as „fairy shrimp.“

Cam: Shrimp can live outside the ocean?

Hodgins: They’re not actually shrimp; they’re brachiopods. Main differences being...

Cam: Moving on.

Hodgins: I want to know if they can be poisoned by feeding on decomposing flesh.

(They enter a room where Hodgins makes a Spam experiment)

Cam (horrified): Oh, God. Please tell me that is not....

Zack: That’s not human. That’s Spam.

Hodgins: Which has been injected with a number of organic poisons.We’d like to introduce a colony of Artemia Salina.

Zack: Commonly referred to as sea chimps.

Hodgins: If they die, I can check to see if running them through the spectrometer reveals what poisoned them.

Cam: What do you want from me?

Zack: Permission.

Cam: Why?

Hodgins: Because you said you’d fire us if we did any more experiments without clearing them first.

Cam: Boys, you’ve got Spam and sea chimps. You get anything out of that, and I will....buy you each a car.

Hodgins: Release the hounds.

Zack: What?

Hodgins: Pour in the sea chimps.

Zack: I found that anticlimatic.

Hodgins: Yeah.

(They are both glaring at the experiment)

Royal Diner – B&B sit togeher and share a meal
Brennan: Do you like your father?

Booth: Love my father.

Brennan: I think I love my father.

Booth: Well, that’s normal.

Brennan (has tears in her eyes): But he ran out on me and Russ. He robbed people. He’s a murderer. He got my mother killed. You know, how does he expect me to...?

Booth: It’s hard to trust someone who’s abandoned you. Especially a parent.

Brennan: Am I...Am I terrible for not...wanting to let myself care about my own father?

Booth: Look, Bones, your father is going to do something tomorrow that’s going to hurt you. How do you forgive that?

Brennan: I’m not a bad daughter? Bad person?

Booth: You’re not a bad anything (Both smile, Brennan gets a message on her cell phone)

Brennan: Hodgins figured out what killed Chelsea Cole.

Jeffersonian, Medico-Legal-Lab- B&B are talking with Hodgins
Hodgins: Branchinecta Lindahli. Also known as the fairy shrimp. Not a true shrimp, actually, a branchiopod.

Booth: You want to hurry it up there, Hodgins? I got a tux I need to rent.

Hodgins: Right. Zack and I did a brief experiment involving sea chimps.

Booth: Sea chimps? I love sea chimps.

Brennan: To confirm that they would feed on decomposing human tissue?

Booth: Great, thanks for ruining the whole sea chimp thing for me.

Brennan: Did they?

Hodgins: Those sea chimps went after that pork by product like piranhas after a skinny-dipping missionary.

Brennan: Did you find anything in the fairy shrimp beneath Chelsea Cole’s body?

Hodgins: Yeah. They were exposed to lethal concentrations of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

Booth: I feel bad for the sea chimps, but...

Brennan: Booth. Chelsea Cole was poisoned by an overdose of Navirapine.

Booth: What’s that?

Brennan: AIDS medicine.

Booth: AIDS medicine...

Brennan: It was her mother.

B&B confronts Cynthia Cole with the new information
(Booth shows Cynthia Cole the „I love you“ stone)

Booth: We’ll probably be able to trace this to you.

Cynthia Cole: I loved my daughter very much.

Booth: The hell you did.

Brennan: She got to be too much for you to handle, so you killed her.

Cynthia Cole: You don’t understand.

Brennan: I don’t think you’ll ever find anyone who does.

Booth: You know, your daughter had the mind of a six year old. She loved the stars; she trusted you...

(Brennan calls Cam)

Brennan: We’re here.

Booth (to Cynthia): and you killed her.

Brennnan: Ritonavir...MK-0518...Tenofir.

Cam: None of those is a trade name for Navirapine. Wait....MK-0518...is still in experimental trials to replace Navirapine.

Brennan (to Booth): She used her old medicine to poison Chelsea (into the phone) Thanks, Cam.

Booth: Cynthia Cole, you’re under arrest for the murder of your daughter, Chelsea Cole (Booth handcuffs Cynthia Cole)

Cynthia Cole: Could you please take down the pictures Chelsea drew? I don’t want anyone to come in and just throw them away.

Brennan: You threw away your own daughter. Why would I do you a favor?

Booth: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Justice Department, Booth Office – Booth is talking to Agent Charlie
Charlie: In 1978, Max Keenan robbed a Piggly Wiggly in Carbondale, Illinois. The clerk conked him on the head with a baseball bat. Keenan pressed napkins to his head to staunch the blood, left them behind.

Booth (stands up): Don’t tell me.

Charlie: State Police have said napkins in evidence.

(Booth doesn’t look enthusiastic)

Charlie: Agent Booth, you wanted me to get this information for you, correct?

Booth: Good work, Charlie.

(Booth exits)

Hodgins visits Angela’s father
(Angela’s Dad is playing guitar)

Hodgins: Hey. I mean...(imitates the sound of a guitar but Angela’s father doesn’t react) You get that a lot, right? The whole....Rrr, rrr, rrr...thing.

Angela’s Dad: Can I help you?

Hodgins: I’m...Jack Hodgins.

Angela’s Dad: You seem okay to me so far.

Hodgins: Well, I suddenly realized....My best man said speeches at the wedding...You know about the wedding?

Angela’s Dad: Oh, yes. It’s no coincidence I’m here.

Hodgins: Well, it occured to me that you might have a traditional...You’re Texan, and...I mean, really Texan. Guitars and hot rods Texan, so...I figured I should ask you for your daughter’s hand in marriage. As a sign of respect.

Angela’s Dad: You’re making a huge mistake, son.

Hodgins: Marrying Angela?

Angela’s Dad: No, if Angie finds out that a man, you, asked another man, me, for her hand, or any of her other fine parts, horrible complications will ensure.

Hodgins: I didn’t think of that.

Angela’s Dad: You could get us both killed.

Hodgins: Okay. Good advice (They shake hands) You got any more?

Angela’s Dad: Always play it in the key of G demolished.

Hodgins: I don’t know what that means.

Angela’s Dad: Well, if you do, you do. If you don’t, you don’t. Forget it.

(Angela’s Dad begins playing the guitar and Hodgins turns to leave)

Angela’s Dad: Hodgins. I’ve got cars and I’ve got guitars...and I got guns. You treat my little girl right, you’ll only see the business end of the cars and guitars.

(Hodgins leaves)

Jeffersonian, Medico-Legal-Lab – Cam compares the DNA samples while Booth is waiting for the results

(On a screen we can see it’s a match, Booth looks depressed at Cam)

Royal Diner – Brennan sits and her father joins
(Brennan shows her father her hand; she is wearring the antique ring, Max Keenan handles his daughter the videotape)

Parking Lot – Booth has come to arrest Max Keenan
Booth: Am I going to need to use my gun, Max?

Max Keenan: You got your piece of paper?

Booth: Max Keenan, I’m placing you under arrest for the murder of Deputy Director...

Max Keenan: Oh, fine, fine. Sure. You know what? You can take me. You’re right. I’m not going to abandon her again.

Booth: You’re not going to resist?

Max Keenan: It’s your lucky day, I guess.

Booth: Great.

Max Keenan: No. Wait a minute. No. See, I’m wrong. I can’t just go quietly. It’s not my nature.

Booth (laughs): Max, I got a gun.

Max Keenan: I can’t surrender. You’re going to have to shoot me. You...You understand.

Booth: Not your nature?

Max Keenan: Yeah, maybe it’s a character flaw.

(Booth takes his gun)

Max Keenan: Yeah, shoot me. Shoot me. But in the leg, please, if you don’t mind.

Booth: Ok. Hold up (he puts his gun away) One second, please. Thank you (prepares to fight)

Max Keenan: Ready?(Booth punches him in the face) Hey. Hey, that’s good, kid. You’re throwing (Max punches Booth in the face too) What’s the matter? Got a glass jaw?

Booth: You know what? You talk too much (punches Max)

Max Keenan: Right in the face? Geez (doubled over) Time. Time.

Booth: You had enough?

Max Keenan: Wait. I’m old.

Booth: There’s no time-outs during an arrest (Max gets up and punches Booth, Booth returns with two punches and Max falls to the ground)

Max Keenan: Ok, I’m done. I’m done. It’s over. I’m finished.

Booth (takes out the cuffs): Let’s go (Max punches him in the groin)

Booth: Oh, God. That really hurts (falls to the ground next to Max)

Brennan’s Apartment – Brennan is watching the videotape
(On the screen we see Brennan’s mother, Christine, who sits on a tree)

Christine Brennan: Hi Temperance. It’s Mom. I don’t know when or if you’ll ever see this. I hope to put it in your hands myself, see you again with my own eyes, but this is a hard, hard world. Your father and I left you and Russ to save your lives. People would have killed you to get us. But that’s not what this is about. Today is your 16^th birhtday (Temperance starts to cry) I’m so sorry...not to be there to tell you all the things that a mother should tell her daughter when she turns 16. And sorry not to give you this...(Christine holds a ring into the camera, the same Temperance is now wearring) It’s an heirloom from my side of the family and starting today, it’s yours. I don’t know how long it will take me to get it to you, but I promise you I will. You’re going to hear a lot of things about your parents, especially about your father. He is a good man. It was my insistence to leave you kids. Max would have kept us together, fought until the end. I’m not sure he’ll ever forgive me for that. So, please, Temperance....I need you to forgive me. And if you can’t forgive me, I beg you, honey, forgive your father because he is a very good man. Remember this: you were cherished in this world. Adored. What I did to you may have been wrong, but I did it out of love. I did it out of love (the tape cuts and Brennan, still crying, looks thoughtful)

Justice Department, Interrogation Room – Brennan talks to Cynthia Cole

(A thoughtful Brennan hands Chelsea’s drawings to Cynthia)

Brennan: Chelsea thought that stars were signals from heaven, showing how to get home (Cynthia Cole is looking at the drawings) Your AIDS cocktail wasn’t working. You were sick...dying. They put you on an experimental drug and you felt even worse. Your worst nightmare was coming true: Chelsea was going to outlive you.

Cynthia Cole: No foster parent would take her.

Brennan (has tears in her eyes): You did what you did...out of mercy.

Cynthia Cole (cries): We went to the park. And I gave, uh...told Chelsea that it was candy. We...sat there looking up at the stars. I didn’t know what to do with her. I didn’t have any strength left. And then...I remembered the water. And I thought it was deep. Peaceful, you know?

Brennan: And then...like you were being punished, the experimental drug started to work, didn’t it? You got better (Cynthia Cole nods painful) What you did was wrong...but you did it out of love (Brennan hands Cynthia the „I love you“ stone and cries, Cynthia is wrapping her hand around the stone)

Church – Hodgins is waiting in front of the aisle, Brennan, Cam, Booth and Zack are together in a seperate room
Brennan: How do I look?

Booth: Good.

Brennan (to Cam): How come yours looks so much better?

Cam: I took this (takes the bow)and yanked.

Zack (whispers to Booth): Have you been to Iraq?

Booth: That’s classified information, and you aren’t cleared for that.

Zack: Does it hurt to get shot?

Booth: What?

Zack: I’ve been blown up. That wasn’t as bad as I expected. But I’ve never been shot.

Cam: Booth?

Booth: Yeah.

Cam: Better?

Booth (whistels): Wow. You look great.

Brennan: You said I looked good before.

Booth: Whose day is it, huh? It’s Angela’s. Come on, let’s go. There you go.

(B&B are walking down the aisle)

Booth: Bones?

Brennan: Yes?

Booth: Listen, I’m, I’m sorry, I had to arrest your father.

Brennan: We don’t have to talk about that right now. You did your duty. I understand.

Booth: Yep. But....(they must seperate because they arrive at the end of the aisle and now stand opposite, the harp music stops and we hear the sound of a guitar, Angela starts walking down the aisle next to her Dad)

Booth: Bones?

Brennan: What?

Booth: He could have gotten away.

Brennan: What?

Booth: We got into a fight. Your dad could have escaped capture.

Brennan: So he beat you in the fight?

Booth: No, I didn’t say that.

Brennan: You beat him, but you gave him a chance to get away?

Booth: No, I didn’t say that (he steps to her and they’re now standing where the bride and the groom are supposed to stand)

Brennan: I don’t see any other alternative.

Booth: No, Bones, your father chose to be arrested because he felt if he abandoned you again, he’d lose you forever. I just thought you should know ( Brennan looks touched and suddenly hugs Booth)

Brennan: Thanks, Booth.

Angela: Hi. I’d like to get married now.

(B&B look at each other and step back)

Minister Sheila: Welcome, everyone. We have gathered here today to join together in matrimony Jack Stanley Hodgins and Angela Pearly Gates Montenegro. Who gives this woman?

Angela’s Dad: I give you this beautiful woman (kisses his daughter on the cheek and shakes hands with Hodgins) I got a show (turns to leave) Have a good time, everybody.

Minister Sheila: Angela and Jack have invited us all here today to be part of something beautiful. Two people standing before their friends, family, and community to say, „You are the one I love“ ( State Department Employee enters) „You are the one for whom I forsake all others.“

State Department Employee: Excuse me? Is this the Hodgins-Montenegro nuptials?

Angela: It’s trying to be.

State Department Employee: I’m with the State Department and it’s imperative that I speak with Hodgins and Montenegro before these proceedings...proceed.

Caroline Julian (stands up): Come on then. Let’s get this figured out.

Hodgins: We’ll, um...be right back (they exit)

Zack: Booth?

Booth: Yeah.

Zack: Is there any sense in ducking when someone shoots at you?

Booth: Your body ducks whether you want to or not (suddenly realizes something is wrong) Why?

Zack (hands Booth the letter from the White House): You can read this later, then explain it to everyone.

Booth: Why me?

Zack: You know more about duty and honor than anyone else I know (Booth looks touched)

Seperate Room – Hodgins, Angela, Caroline Julian and the State Department Employee talk

Hodgins: Angela is already married?

Caroline Julian: Angela is totally, unmistakably, legally married.

State Department Employee: As federal employees with security clearance, your marriage license underwent special scrutiny, especially since your wedding was so hurried.

Caroline Julian: You were married in Fiji four years ago.

Angela: I jumped over a broomstick with a guy.

State Department Employee: I’m sorry ( State Department Employee exits)

Angela: Jack, I...I’m sorry. This is my fault.

Hodgins: No worries....No worries. We’ll just...We’ll, um...There’s just a lot of people in there expecting a wedding.

Angela (worried): Yeah, I made this huge deal out of getting married right away and and they all...and ....

Caroline Julian: Run.

Angela: What?

Caroline Julian: Flee. Scram. Skedaddle.

(Hodgins and Angela look at each other relieved and smile)

Hodgins: I like it.

Church – Hodgins and Angela tell they’ll change the plan
Hodgins: Change of plan. Please go to the reception. Have a great time on us.

Angela: Thank you for coming (Angela and Hodgins are running out of the church, both laugh)

(B&B look confused at each other, then smile)

Brennan: What do we do now?

(They’re looking at the minister)

FADE TO BLACK.
