Brennan and Zack investigate a small jet crash that was carrying some Chinese diplomats and a woman. At the crash site, Brennan finds some bone fragments that do not belong to any of the passengers, but might belong to a man who has been missing for five years.

Quotes

add » Booth: I say we go visit Miss Anderson and we’ll know pretty fast if she’s a suspect.
Brennan: How?
Booth: How? Subtle psychological indicators, Bones.
Brennan: I looked those up on the internet, body language, sweat, tonal quality, shifty eyes.
Booth: Hey you know what? I don’t go poking around your bones stuff, okay? Just leave the human stuff to me.

(edit) Booth: (about Kane) Wow, pushy.
Brennan: Well, maybe he discovered that being pushy is how you get cops to pay attention.
Booth: What are you hawking at me for?
Brennan: The Chinese, the plane crash, that’s politics. This is murder. Will you help?
Booth: Well, you know, I guess if you’re uh, if you're really asking me, I guess I could uh, you know, fudge it with my boss to make it look like it was attached to the Chinese plane crash thing.
(A tiny smile has crept on Booth's face while talking and Brennan, happy with his answer, smiles at him) (edit) Brennan: You’re back to ignoring Zach?
Booth: Alright look, I know you don’t approve but you know, it works for us. It worked for him so…
Brennan: Yeah, I get it and it’s kind of sweet.
Booth: Hey, you know, your people are my people.
Brennan: What, I have people? (smiles) Hey, I have people. (edit) Brennan: No poking and prodding, do you think Jesse murdered his father?
Booth: You know Bones, all I’m saying is, we get into these things, we look into murders and we can’t let our heart strings get all plucked. Okay? We got to poke at peoples' wounds, we got to make them bleed a little, we got to make them tell us things that they normally wouldn’t want to tell us. Alright? We got to be willing to be hard on them is what I’m trying to say, even when we know that we’re no different than them.
Brennan: You didn’t answer my question.
Booth: Well I have an opinion. You want to know? (she looks at him) If I had to bet, I’d say he didn’t do it.
Brennan: Me, too.
Booth: I’m going off my gut. I mean what…what’s persuading you?
Brennan: The bone fragments at the golf course, they didn’t come from Max Kane.
Booth: That’s great. You knew that when you asked me what I thought. You testing out my instincts, Bones?
Brennan: Poking and prodding. I learned from the best. (She pinches his cheek and Booth laughs) (edit) Booth: Next time, you know, you miss me, pick up the phone, call me. We'll do lunch.
Brennan: I do not miss you.
Booth: Yeah, you miss me. Come on, say it!
Brennan: I do not miss you.
Security Guy: Dr. Brennan, Agent Booth. You have a visitor.
Brennan: No I don't.
Booth: You miss me. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Zack and Hodgins do their little woodchipper experiment, they supposedly use a solidly frozen pig, but when the pieces start to fall on people, they make a very unfrozen splattering sound - and there's no way a piece of frozen meat would attach itself to Goodman's lapel and leave a bloodstain. (edit) Brennan's parents' names are Matt and Christine Brennan. It is on her parents' profile. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Booth: Did you ever hear of the Menendez Brothers?

Booth is worried that Jesse Kane might have killed his father for the money. The allusion is to Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of the shotgun murders of their mother and father in 1989, in order to inherit their fortune. (edit) When Bones is trying to get Booth into the murder case, he tries to get out of it saying that he (the FBI) doesn't have jurisdiction on a golf course. She asks "who does?" and he replied "I don't know, try the PGA!"

He is talking about the Professional Golfers Association which goes by PGA. This is the association responsible for the professional golf tournaments and all that have to do with it.
