EPISODE 13 - 'THE WOMAN IN THE GARDEN'
B&Brennan are called into Little Salvador to investigate when a dug up corpse is found in the back of an El Salvadorian gang member's car. While he is being questioned, a drive-by shooting allows him to escape.
Further into the investigation, Brennan finds out that the murdered girl was a christian and was pregnant. They identify the gang member from the car as Jose Vargas.
Booth and Brennan follow the evidence until it leads them to Senator Alan Corman, where Jose also works. There they meet Hector, the house manager, and Logan, the Senator's son. They also find a second body buried near the pond in the Senator's garden.
In the lab, they found that both victims had a hereditary condition and that they were father and daughter - Jose's sister and father. His sister was killed when Hector found out that she was pregnant and his father died of cancer - he wanted to keep the family together and give them a peaceful burial place.
Booth gets the gang unit to bring in the leader of Mara Muerte. Bones gets into an argument with him that leads to a fight - the event after that must be one of my favourite Bones moments:
Booth gets word that Mara Meurte has put a hit out on Bones. He meets with the leader and tells him that if anything ever happens to Bones, that he will come after him and kill him. Nobody sees, nobody knows:
(Booth sitting in a car watching an alley way. He sees Ortez and jumps out of his car, runs up behind him and slams him into a wall)
Ortez: What are you crazy? This is my neighborhood.
Booth: You put a hit out on my partner?
Ortez: She's not FBI.
(Booth punches him in the face and puts his gun under Ortez's chin)
Booth: I never said anything about FBI. She's my partner, ese? And if anything happens to her, I will find you and I will kill you. I won't think twice. Come here look at my eyes. (He cocks his gun and puts it in Ortez's mouth) Look at my face! If anything happens to her, I will kill you.
Bones puts on a funeral for both Maria and Augustine. Jose says he will pay Brennan back. Bones is mad at Booth when he misses the funeral, but he missed the funeral coz he was protecting her - sweet!
Booth: Am I in trouble?
Angela: You’re late for a funeral, of course you’re in trouble.
Booth: (to Bones) Sorry. I apologize. I… everything okay here?
Bones: Where were you?
Booth: I had something to do.
Bones: More important than a funeral?
Booth: I thought so at the time.
Bones bought a book about improving work-relationship's - giving us insight into the fact that she really cares about her and Booth's relationship:
Brennan: Why would a gang leader cooperate?
Booth: I'm gonna ask him really, really nicely, Bones.
Brennan: You know that book I'm reading about getting along with your co-workers? It says that sarcasm is never helpful. I can lend it to you if you want.
We also learn that Bones has been in some pretty rough situations:
Brennan: On my last trip to El Salvador…
Angela: Yeah, I remember. I tried to get you to go to Italy, with me.
Brennan: I was in a tent set up by one of the grave sites. I was working with the remains of a young girl, maybe 13. She’d been shot in the head and dumped into a well. This cop shows up and, he might have been a soldier it’s not easy to tell. I thought he was there to guard me, but he told me to stop. When I refused he called in two others. They put a bag over my head and tossed me into a cell with dirt floor and no windows.
Angela: For how long?
Brennan: Later I found out it was three days but I thought it was a week, maybe more. He came in everyday and made me believe I was going to die. He said that he was going to shoot me and toss me into a well and that no one would ever know who I was or what became of me. I promised myself if I ever had the chance I’d get even. That doesn’t mean I need therapy.
B&B Moments:
Brennan: Why did they call in the FBI to Little Salvador?
Booth: Well you know, the car's got Virginia plates, across state line and then there's a suspected gang member and then there's Rico to deal with. Look Bones, do you really want to know?
Brennan: No, I was just using it as an excuse to make conversation and reestablish our connection.
Booth: What?
Brennan: Well I read a book about improving work relationships. It's not fair to expect you to tell me everything.
Booth: I appreciate the effort, Bones.
Booth: Oh, come on guys. Let's think of it as a puzzle. There's a missing piece.
Brennan: I like puzzles. I find them relaxing. I just finished "The Anatomy Lesson" by Rembrandt.
Booth: You're kidding, right?
Brennan: No. What do you find relaxing?
Booth: I restore vintage cars.
Hodgins: I know what I find relaxing.
Booth: Everybody finds what you find relaxing relaxing.
(Hodgins and Brennan high-five.)
Booth: Ok, you two should do that even less than normal people.
Booth: Ok. Hodgins, suit up. You're coming with us. We're going to the barrio!
Hodgins: Field work. Cool. Do I get a gun?
Brennan: You can't arm Hodgins and not me.
Booth: What is it with you people and the guns, huh?!
Bones: "I am asking you as a favor don't make me scare her".
Booth sees the distress this is causing her and knows it won't matter in the long run so he let's it go. Booth cares about Temperance in more than just a professional relationship.
