EPISODE 7 - 'A MAN ON DEATH ROW'
In this episode we get introduced to Howard Epps - a death row inmate who is to be executed in 32 hours. His new defence lawyer, Amy Morton, convinces Booth to take another look at the case file coz there is evidence that was never considered and Booth was the arresting officer. Booth convinces Bones to help him with the case as a favour (which she forces him to ask for):
Brennan: This is a personal favor you're asking.
Booth: Not for me, for Amy.
Brennan: Well, your personal favor would be for Amy but mine would be for you, strictly speaking.
Booth: Please do me a favor. (he's pleading with his eyes) Please.
(Brennan takes the file from him accepting)
They follow the evidence which leads them to find the bodies of several more women - forcing them to stop the execution and try Howard Epps for these murders. Everyone involved realizes that Epps tricked them and led them to the burial site of his victims to stop his execution. Epps develops a morbid fascination with Bones when she and Booth interviews him in the prison - Bones ends up breaking his wrist:
After Bones broke Epps' wrist:
Bones: 'Maybe i shouldn't have a gun'
Booth: 'Hell you can have mine'
When Booth walks into the lab, Hodgins and Zack are racing beetles:
Hodgins: I demand another beetle. Jeff's got a groin pull.
Zack: Arthropods do not possess groins. Pay up.
B&B Moments:
In the beginning of the show, Booth makes Bones fill out an application to carry a weapon and she insists that he knows all the details, but he makes her do it according to procedure any way and then denies her application:
Booth: Reason for wanting a gun?
Brennan: To shoot people.
Booth: Never the less, name of the arresting officer?
Brennan: You.
Brennan: Tell them that I shot a murderer who was going to light me on fire.
Booth: Which is why you weren't convicted but you did shoot an unarmed man. I, I can't ignore that. I swore an oath to protect society from people who shoot people.
Brennan: It was only his leg and he's in jail for the rest of his life. How much is he going to use it anyway?
When Bones meets Amy, she jokes with Booth and makes a comment that he has a thing for lawyers. Amy questions Bones in the car about her relationship with Booth saying she regrets not jumping on the chance she may have had with him, and she is noticing a bit of a "sex vibe" between Booth & Bones. Bones replies that it is just tension between the two of them and he has a girlfriend anyway.
Booth: Bones, you don't need a gun. If anyone needs shooting, I'll do it.
Brennan: But what if you're injured or dead and someone still needs shooting? I'm not hoping it will happen. I'm just stating the possibility.
Booth: You know what, Bones? You're a professor, all right? You're not an FBI agent. Use your mutant powers...just talk people to death.
Booth and Brennan at Wuang Fu's)
Booth: You know, I’m sorry for wrecking your weekend for nothing.
Brennan: No, not for nothing.
Booth: Ah, you know what I mean. You know all that running around it didn’t change anything. Epps was guilty. He was always guilty.
Brennan: There was doubt. We had an obligation to respect that doubt. We all share in the death of every human being.
Booth: Very poetic.
Brennan: No, very literal. We all share DNA. (very earnestly) When I look at a bone it’s not some artifact that I can separate from myself. It’s a part of a person who got here the same way I did. It should never be easy to take someone’s life. I don’t care who it is. (Booth stares at her intently for a long while) What? (he continues to stare and a smile begins to form on his lips) What?
Booth: You know you’ve been practicing your Nobel prize speech just a little too much.
