Booth: Well, the last case we worked she provided a description of the murder weapon and the murderer but I didn't give her much credence. Booth: You know, getting information out of live people is a lot different than getting information out of a pile of bones, you have to offer up something of yourself first. Brennan: Since when are we partners? Brennan: [To Booth as he walks up to her] At least we got the hammer. Dig up lots of massacred victims? Dr. Goodman: Mmmm. First of all no. He's a good assistant. More misdirection. She just shot him, with alcohol on her breath. Since we're stuck with real life let's just forget the book. Special Agent Seeley Booth, Major Crime Investigation, D.C. Bones identifies bodies for us. Thompson: How are you going to stop me? You know, you're not the only forensic anthropologist in town. [Cut to Brennan and Booth on a boat in the middle of the pond, dropping an underwater camera that feeds to a video screen on the boat]
Temp: What exactly am I supposed to be squinting at? [Cut to Brennan and Zach back at the Medico Legal lab in the Jeffersonian]
Brennan: There are stab marks here and odd markings on the distal phalanges. [Cut to Brennan at Oliver Laurier's door, he has the door opened as far as the security chain will allow]
Brennan: Mr. Laurier, we have a warrant to search your apartment....
[The door slams in her face and Oliver turns to run but is stopped by Booth who grabs him by the wrist and puts him to the floor]
Booth: [Calmly] Don't run Oliver.

Summary: From executive producers Barry Josephson and Hart Hanson comes BONES, an investigative drama inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and best-selling novelist Kathy Reichs. Dr. Temperance Brennan is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist in Washington, DC. FBI Agent Seeley Booth calls on her to assist with investigations when the standard methods of identifying a body are useless - when the remains are badly decomposed, burned or destroyed beyond recognition. In the season premiere, Booth asks Brennan to help provide clues and information when skeletal remains are found at the bottom of a lake. With her team of specialists at the Jeffersonian Institute, Brennan determines the identity of the remains to be the ex-aide of a Washington, DC, congressman. A series of clues add up to murder, and Brennan wants in on the case. Although skeptical of all scientists, or "squints" as he calls them, Booth knows if he wants Brennan's expertise on the case, he's going to have to give in to her demand to a partnership with him and let her out of the lab. But Brennan may have gotten more than she bargained for when she digs under the surface to uncover who was behind the murder.
