EPISODE 11 - 'THE WOMAN IN THE CAR'
B&B gets involved in a case where a woman's burned body is found in a car and there's traces that her child has been kidnapped. They suspect his father, Carl Decker, but as they delve deeper, they uncover that he is under witness protection. He is a federal witness in a case against a company named KBC Systems that, according to him, made defective body armor (knowingly) and sent them to Iraq where it cost the lives of several millitaries. The justice department doesn’t want him to know what happened with his wife and son, but B&B doesn’t seem happy with this.
The victim turned out to be an immigrant named Polina who arrived in the U.S. in 1994 with her sister and who later got married to Carl Decker. They have an 8-year-old son named Donovan.
Dr. Goodman introduces Agent Samantha Pickering who will perform a security review for the State Department. From the first moment, Hodgins doesn’t look pleased with the idea - screaming cover up and conspiracy. But Pickering interviews everyone except Hodgins - sighting that he isn't a threat which of course irks Hodgins even more.
When Agent Pickering interviews Brennan, she asks a question about a man named Juan Guzman when she was in Cuba. Brennan very calmly picks up the phone and speaks to someone who then speaks to Agent Pickering and (I love this part) tells her to wait there until someone comes to destroy her notes.
The kidnappers sends Booth the little boys finger and the situation gets more desperate. They finally find the boy, but he is very scared and refuses to let Booth take him until he uses the code word: Paladin, that the boy's father said he should use.
B&B argue about bringing kids into this world - Brennan doesn't want to take the change to expose her child to the violence in the world, but Booth says that everything is worth it and he is happier to be a father than he was yesterday:
Brennan: It’s not often I get to help save someone before they die.
Booth: Oh hell, Bones, every time you catch a murderer you save his next victim.
Brennan: No, this is different.
Booth: Yeah. Still glad you don’t have any kids?
Brennan: Yeah. Why?
Booth: You looking at that boy and his dad, I just thought you changed your mind.
Brennan: No. Still glad that you have a kid?
Booth: Gladder today than yesterday.
Brennan: That doesn’t make any sense.
Booth: Yeah, it’s complicated.
Brennan gets interviewed for her book release, but the interview is a little strained and awkward ... at the end she says that she planned to never have kids which shocks the interviewer. Booth is there to encourage her and pulls faces to make her smile a bit and be less awkward but it doesn't help:
Booth: You know, if this works, I'll buy you a puppy.
Brennan: That would be inadvisable. You never told me how I was this morning. I asked you, how did I do, and you said we'll talk about it in the car but we didn't.
Booth: (slightly hesitant) Was it your first TV interview?
Brennan: Yes.
Booth: It was fine, you know, for your first interview.
Brennan: That was a qualified response.
Booth: What? No, it was lively. (tries to leave)
Brennan: Lively? What kind of word is that?
Booth: (evasively) It's an adjective, though ironically most words that end in "-ly" are adverbs, like "ironically".
Brennan: Ok, what did I do wrong?
Booth: Maybe next time, tell a funny story. Oh, and never say you don't like children.
Brennan: I didn't say I don't like children, I just said I didn't want any.
Booth: On TV, it's the same thing
B&B Moments:
Brennan: Why don't we ever take my car?
Booth: Do you have bulletproof vests in your trunk?
Brennan: No.
Booth: That's why.
Agent Pickering: Didn't I see you on television this morning Dr. Brennan?
Brennan: How could I possibly know what you watched on television? Booth, (walking away) I have to talk to you.
Agent Pickering: Yeah… it was definitely her.
Goodman: Maybe work your way up to Dr. Brennan.
Brennan: You just told me not to jump to a conclusion.
Booth: No offense intended.
Brennan: No, you were right! It’s just I usually get to tell you.
Booth: Well, our relationship has taken a whole new turn.
Booth: Bones usually I enjoy your company, but it is times like this you give me a little something extra to work at.
Bones: You enjoy my company?
