Someday you'll see that. 109 00:07:56,213 --> 00:07:57,851 - I won't. - You'll change your mind. 110 00:07:57,933 --> 00:07:59,651 - I don't do that. - You will. 111 00:07:59,733 --> 00:08:04,204 Yeah, after I see how Carl Decker reacts when you tell him his child has been kidnapped. 112 00:08:04,293 --> 00:08:08,047 - We're gonna find Donovan with his dad. - What?

Shouldn't that be his decision? 143 00:10:08,893 --> 00:10:14,092 It's estimated KBC Systems is responsible for 30 deaths and hundreds of injuries. 144 00:10:14,173 --> 00:10:16,209 It's complicated. 145 00:10:16,293 --> 00:10:19,842 His wife is dead and his child is missing. That's not so complicated. 146 00:10:19,933 --> 00:10:24,324 - No one's stopping you from investigating. - He's a witness. I need access to him. 147 00:10:24,413 --> 00:10:27,564 Decker didn't kill his wife - he was in custody of US marshals, 148 00:10:27,653 --> 00:10:29,928 so start looking someplace else. 149 00:10:31,013 --> 00:10:33,607 Harsh reality, Booth.

It's logical. - Is it? 159 00:11:06,093 --> 00:11:09,244 Why dread something that hasn't happened yet? 160 00:11:09,333 --> 00:11:10,527 Yeah. 161 00:11:10,853 --> 00:11:15,085 That piece of cartilage we found in Polina's mouth - antihelix and meatus remnants. 162 00:11:15,173 --> 00:11:17,448 - It's an ear? - Chen says it was bitten off. 163 00:11:17,533 --> 00:11:19,842 The victim bit off one of her attacker's ears. 164 00:11:19,933 --> 00:11:23,448 I heard someone found a fingertip in their chilli once. 165 00:11:23,533 --> 00:11:25,888 Dr Chen also found vestiges of earwax. 166 00:11:25,973 --> 00:11:29,488 OK, get that wax to Hodgins.

Thought so. 169 00:11:40,613 --> 00:11:43,764 - Why'd you stop? - What are we hoping to learn from this tape? 170 00:11:43,853 --> 00:11:48,768 We know Carl Decker didn't kidnap his own child. The mother is dead, and the boy... 171 00:11:48,853 --> 00:11:50,844 And the boy might be dead too. 172 00:11:50,933 --> 00:11:53,925 I'm just wondering, what is the benefit of watching this? 173 00:11:54,013 --> 00:11:56,447 You put faces to names, get a sense of people. 174 00:11:56,533 --> 00:11:59,252 You're the anthropologist.

He's holding his arms, touching his mouth. 182 00:12:25,893 --> 00:12:30,523 - So he's nervous. So what? - Look at the boy. He's relaxed. He's not afraid. 183 00:12:30,613 --> 00:12:34,526 - So then why was the boy stalling, huh? - He's not. The father is. 184 00:12:34,613 --> 00:12:39,243 The son knows that on some level and he's enabling his father to reach a level of comfort. 185 00:12:39,333 --> 00:12:43,326 - It's a symbiotic relationship. - "Relationship." That's psychology. 186 00:12:43,413 --> 00:12:47,247 The boy trusts his father absolutely. He's confident. 187 00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:50,006 The father wishes he didn't have to do this, 188 00:12:50,093 --> 00:12:54,530 but he's accepted that he must in his role as a father. 189 00:12:54,613 --> 00:12:56,569 What? 190 00:12:56,653 --> 00:12:59,167 Probably felt the same about being a whistle-blower. 191 00:12:59,253 --> 00:13:02,928 That's psychology, and it's of no use to us in this investigation. 192 00:13:03,013 --> 00:13:04,731 Just push "play", OK? 193 00:13:06,613 --> 00:13:09,366 - All right, you ready? - OK. 194 00:13:09,453 --> 00:13:11,887 - Be careful. - Don't make him nervous, Polina. 195 00:13:11,973 --> 00:13:15,045 Push me, Dad.

Oh, my God. 205 00:13:48,413 --> 00:13:51,564 - You and your sister were close? - Yes. 206 00:13:51,653 --> 00:13:57,523 When Polina and Carl separated, she and Donovan came to stay with me. 207 00:13:57,613 --> 00:13:59,092 This is terrible. 208 00:13:59,173 --> 00:14:02,688 Can you think of anyone who'd want to hurt your sister? 209 00:14:02,773 --> 00:14:05,207 It must be Carl. 210 00:14:05,293 --> 00:14:08,569 Maybe he was afraid she would take Donovan away from him. 211 00:14:08,653 --> 00:14:11,486 - Would she have done that? - No. Never. 212 00:14:11,573 --> 00:14:16,169 - You don't like your brother-in-law. - He's supposed to be brilliant, I know. 213 00:14:16,253 --> 00:14:20,371 But he is also cold, angry. Everything has to be just so. 214 00:14:20,453 --> 00:14:25,481 - Why did Carl and your sister separate? - Polina said he was having an affair. 215 00:14:25,573 --> 00:14:28,292 I thought, "Who'd want him?" 216 00:14:28,373 --> 00:14:33,811 But she found credit card receipts from a motel he went to once or twice a week. 217 00:14:34,613 --> 00:14:37,525 When she confronted Carl, he was furious, 218 00:14:37,613 --> 00:14:41,128 wouldn't talk about it, so she left him. 219 00:14:42,853 --> 00:14:45,287 Please find Donovan. 220 00:14:45,373 --> 00:14:47,284 Find my sister's boy. 221 00:14:50,333 --> 00:14:53,166 I found cracks in the victim's upper incisors. 222 00:14:53,253 --> 00:14:56,563 There are also bilateral fractures in the femoral necks. 223 00:14:56,653 --> 00:15:00,248 There are similar fractures in the proximal humeral heads. 224 00:15:00,333 --> 00:15:02,403 The body went into spasm as it burned? 225 00:15:02,493 --> 00:15:06,247 If she was burned alive.

Would you? 374 00:23:41,973 --> 00:23:46,046 Not without checking with Dr Brennan or Angela first, see what they said. 375 00:23:46,133 --> 00:23:48,852 Agent Booth, if he'd talk to me. He probably wouldn't. 376 00:23:48,933 --> 00:23:52,050 I'd ask Dr Hodgins but he'd say it was all part of a conspiracy, 377 00:23:52,133 --> 00:23:56,251 so I mostly only take his advice... on women. 378 00:23:56,333 --> 00:23:59,609 - 480 volts. 350 amps. - I beg your pardon? 379 00:23:59,693 --> 00:24:03,845 It's sort of secret information I probably shouldn't tell you. 380 00:24:03,933 --> 00:24:06,208 Any other questions? 381 00:24:06,293 --> 00:24:08,090 Good. 382 00:24:15,933 --> 00:24:19,448 Good work, sir.

Do you have any idea what it's like 394 00:24:59,973 --> 00:25:02,533 - to interact with those types of people? - A little. 395 00:25:02,613 --> 00:25:04,410 So what made him run? 396 00:25:04,493 --> 00:25:07,291 Decker insisted upon talking to his son every day. 397 00:25:07,373 --> 00:25:11,844 This morning we couldn't get Donovan. He panicked and ran. The marshals will find him. 398 00:25:11,933 --> 00:25:15,926 Doesn't matter. He won't testify after he finds out about his wife and child. 399 00:25:16,013 --> 00:25:19,369 Might as well pack up that grand jury and send everybody home. 400 00:25:19,453 --> 00:25:24,527 I get the chance, I'll give him the "don't let your wife die in vain" speech. It might work. 401 00:25:24,613 --> 00:25:28,367 Do you think this company is capable of putting a hit out on Decker? 402 00:25:28,453 --> 00:25:30,045 Kill his wife, kidnap his kid? 403 00:25:30,133 --> 00:25:33,569 KBC Systems sent our boys into battle with faulty body armour. 404 00:25:33,653 --> 00:25:37,282 In my book, you can do that, you can do anything. 405 00:25:42,213 --> 00:25:46,525 - If Decker's smart, how will they catch him? - Forget Decker. Our job is to find his son. 406 00:25:46,613 --> 00:25:50,447 - If Decker doesn't testify... - We can't assume they'll let the boy live. 407 00:25:50,533 --> 00:25:53,650 - Surely KBC won't... - We don't know who hired these guys. 408 00:25:53,733 --> 00:25:59,524 KBC, military, disgruntled shareholders, or someone we haven't even thought of yet. 409 00:26:00,453 --> 00:26:02,523 - What? - You told me not to jump to a conclusion. 410 00:26:02,613 --> 00:26:05,525 - No offence. - You were right.

Zack! This guy Decker, he's like you. He's in the whole stratosphere IQ-wise. 417 00:26:27,013 --> 00:26:29,049 - What's his IQ? - It's 163. 418 00:26:29,133 --> 00:26:31,442 Oh! He's not where Zack is. 419 00:26:31,533 --> 00:26:33,444 I'm in the ionosphere. 420 00:26:33,533 --> 00:26:36,286 The point is that Decker escapes the US marshals, 421 00:26:36,373 --> 00:26:39,092 tries to contact his wife and finds out she's been killed. 422 00:26:39,173 --> 00:26:41,562 - What does he do next? - His IQ's not a variable. 423 00:26:41,653 --> 00:26:45,407 Intelligence doesn't determine what you do but how effectively you do it. 424 00:26:45,493 --> 00:26:50,965 - It depends on what kind of person he is. - Well, you know, he's a loving father, 425 00:26:51,053 --> 00:26:54,125 estranged from the mother of his child. 426 00:26:54,653 --> 00:26:57,929 - Sound like anyone you know? - Back out of my space, buddy. 427 00:26:58,013 --> 00:27:03,485 Zack's right. If you were in Decker's position, what would you do? 428 00:27:07,693 --> 00:27:11,845 Bucar four with accessory proceeding to 4413 Elstree, KBC Systems, 429 00:27:11,933 --> 00:27:14,367 requesting local backup, possible 1031. 430 00:27:14,453 --> 00:27:17,490 - Roger that. - Did you just refer to me as an accessory? 431 00:27:17,573 --> 00:27:21,532 You asked me what I'd do if I were Decker. They kill my wife, they take my boy, 432 00:27:21,613 --> 00:27:24,332 I go to the source of the problem. I take 'em out. 433 00:27:24,413 --> 00:27:26,563 Take 'em out like? 434 00:27:28,653 --> 00:27:30,006 Oh. 435 00:27:30,933 --> 00:27:32,764 - FBI.

Now! 441 00:28:02,133 --> 00:28:06,285 Nothing's changed. Make the call, or I'll blow your head off. 442 00:28:06,373 --> 00:28:10,685 - He wants me to call his son's kidnappers. - Tell them to release my boy or you die. 443 00:28:10,773 --> 00:28:12,684 It's that simple. 444 00:28:12,773 --> 00:28:15,128 - You can shoot me after that. - I don't know... 445 00:28:15,213 --> 00:28:19,764 - Mr Decker, Agent Booth is an excellent shot. - I'm not afraid to die. 446 00:28:19,853 --> 00:28:23,004 - For God's sake, shoot him. - Mr Seward, please shut up. 447 00:28:23,093 --> 00:28:27,769 What you're trying to do, save your son, that's not gonna happen if you die here tonight. 448 00:28:27,853 --> 00:28:33,052 Be rational, Mr Decker. What you were planning has failed. You have to adapt. 449 00:28:40,613 --> 00:28:42,604 Adapt how? 450 00:28:43,613 --> 00:28:47,049 All I want is for my son to live. 451 00:28:47,133 --> 00:28:50,603 You people just took away his best chance. 452 00:28:59,253 --> 00:29:02,529 - Do you know a Lily Marsden? - Yes, I do. 453 00:29:02,613 --> 00:29:05,730 - Have you had sex with her? - This falls under your purview? 454 00:29:05,813 --> 00:29:10,329 - Lily Marsden is an environmental extremist. - She's in Earth Now. 455 00:29:10,413 --> 00:29:12,608 You give money to Earth Now, don't you? 456 00:29:12,693 --> 00:29:17,050 And the Sierra Club and Habitat for Humanity, the opera, and public radio. 457 00:29:17,133 --> 00:29:21,968 Lily Marsden has been arrested for breaking into animal labs, torching SUVs, 458 00:29:22,053 --> 00:29:27,844 trespassing on military reserves, dousing citizens wearing fur with red paint... 459 00:29:27,933 --> 00:29:32,529 Dr Goodman, if you have had or are having sexual relations with Lily Marsden, 460 00:29:32,613 --> 00:29:34,444 - we have a problem. - Why? 461 00:29:34,533 --> 00:29:38,287 Because an illicit sexual relationship gives her leverage over you. 462 00:29:38,373 --> 00:29:41,331 This makes you a security risk. 463 00:29:42,653 --> 00:29:46,612 I'm a married man, Ms Pickering. I'm faithful to my wife. 464 00:29:46,693 --> 00:29:49,571 Please define your relationship with Lily Marsden. 465 00:29:49,653 --> 00:29:52,213 I enjoy talking to her. 466 00:29:52,293 --> 00:29:55,410 We argue. She's a nut, but she's a smart nut. 467 00:29:55,493 --> 00:29:59,691 She's... always interesting.

Think rationally for a minute. 474 00:30:24,653 --> 00:30:30,091 If KBC Systems is behind the kidnapping, Seward would be the person to call it off. 475 00:30:30,173 --> 00:30:33,131 A rational human. How did you find yourself amongst these people? 476 00:30:33,213 --> 00:30:34,692 We are trying to help. 477 00:30:34,773 --> 00:30:39,289 Excellent. Hold your gun to Trent Seward's head and force him to let my son go. 478 00:30:39,373 --> 00:30:44,083 There's no compelling evidence that Trent Seward ordered the kidnapping of your son. 479 00:30:44,173 --> 00:30:49,531 I personally calculated the penetration tolerances for the combat flakjackets. 480 00:30:49,613 --> 00:30:53,572 The company found my calculations to be excessively conservative. 481 00:30:53,653 --> 00:30:56,406 30 soldiers died. 482 00:30:56,493 --> 00:31:01,169 Trent Seward will do anything to prevent me from testifying. 483 00:31:01,253 --> 00:31:05,212 He or someone working for him kidnapped my child and killed my wife. 484 00:31:05,293 --> 00:31:08,683 If you want to get Trent Seward, tell that grand jury what you know. 485 00:31:08,773 --> 00:31:11,082 And the kidnappers will kill my boy. 486 00:31:11,173 --> 00:31:16,327 With respect for what you're going through emotionally, sir, Mr Weeks is not wrong. 487 00:31:16,413 --> 00:31:22,010 This is my son. I love him, and if there's even a slight chance that I can save his life 488 00:31:22,093 --> 00:31:25,324 by shutting up, then that's what I'll do. Shut the hell up! 489 00:31:25,413 --> 00:31:27,563 And what about the soldiers? 490 00:31:27,653 --> 00:31:33,444 Analytically, I understand that many lives outweigh the one... 491 00:31:33,533 --> 00:31:36,286 but I cannot trade my son's life. 492 00:31:36,373 --> 00:31:39,570 Have you considered that your wife will have died in vain? 493 00:31:39,653 --> 00:31:45,171 Shut up. If you had protected Mr Decker and his family properly, we wouldn't even be here. 494 00:31:46,453 --> 00:31:48,842 Let's go. 495 00:31:55,373 --> 00:31:57,728 The only way that I will testify... 496 00:31:59,173 --> 00:32:01,812 is if I see you with my son. 497 00:32:01,893 --> 00:32:05,647 Mr Decker, you and Donovan, you have a codeword? 498 00:32:05,733 --> 00:32:08,964 Something to let him know that you sent me? 499 00:32:11,893 --> 00:32:14,487 "Paladin". 500 00:32:14,573 --> 00:32:17,610 Tell Donovan "paladin". 501 00:32:19,333 --> 00:32:21,085 Paladin. 502 00:32:21,173 --> 00:32:24,483 Defender of the faith, protector. 503 00:32:24,573 --> 00:32:26,484 Suits you, Booth. 504 00:32:28,013 --> 00:32:32,803 You know what? You tough guys are all very sentimental. 505 00:32:37,933 --> 00:32:43,246 I have results on the earwax. I ran the particulates through the gas chromatograph 506 00:32:43,333 --> 00:32:47,292 and found the pollen of Eragrostis curvula, known as weeping lovegrass. 507 00:32:47,373 --> 00:32:50,763 - Where does one find weeping love? - That's found worldwide. 508 00:32:50,853 --> 00:32:55,131 But weeping lovegrass? That's in South Africa. 509 00:32:55,213 --> 00:32:57,169 Anything else? 510 00:32:57,253 --> 00:33:02,281 Traces of automotive-grade asbestos.

I'll waive the lawyer. 513 00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:12,121 I have a few surprises in me. Tell that to your superiors at the NSA. 514 00:33:12,213 --> 00:33:14,932 Booth, we're looking for a one-eared South African. 515 00:33:15,013 --> 00:33:16,924 - South African? - Does that mean something? 516 00:33:17,013 --> 00:33:19,811 There's a number of South African security consultants 517 00:33:19,893 --> 00:33:24,091 companies use to do their dirty work in the Third World. They're really mercenaries. 518 00:33:24,693 --> 00:33:27,082 - He might be a mechanic. - You can tell that? 519 00:33:27,173 --> 00:33:29,926 He had traces of what is probably brake pad in his ear. 520 00:33:30,013 --> 00:33:32,322 - How'd that get in there? - Any number of ways. 521 00:33:32,413 --> 00:33:37,931 Most likely his hand comes in contact with asbestos and then he scratches his ear. 522 00:33:42,333 --> 00:33:44,722 Hello? Are you still there? 523 00:33:46,053 --> 00:33:48,123 - I'm on my way over. - What's the matter? 524 00:33:48,213 --> 00:33:50,010 Somebody sent me Donovan Decker's finger. 525 00:33:53,533 --> 00:33:56,969 An eight-year-old boy? That's consistent with what I'm looking at. 526 00:33:57,053 --> 00:33:59,283 You should send this to an FBI pathologist. 527 00:33:59,373 --> 00:34:04,128 They'd give me fingerprints and DNA. We know who the finger belongs to. I need more. 528 00:34:04,213 --> 00:34:05,282 Like what? 529 00:34:05,373 --> 00:34:08,570 You gave me a South African mechanic from a chunk of burned ear. 530 00:34:08,653 --> 00:34:11,326 Do it again.

Now, is he even still alive? 535 00:34:24,133 --> 00:34:29,207 Blood saturation levels are high.
