TEXT: "The Man in the Cell" [SCENE_BREAK] TEASER (Exterior - Day - Jail, smoke streaming out several windows, firefighters and fire trucks outside, sirens wailing. Cut to interior, prisoners yelling, Booth Brennan and Warden walking down corridor towards camera.) BOOTH: Hey, where'd the fire start? WARDEN: Not sure yet. It spread through the ducting though. Brennan yawns. BOOTH: Maybe you'd like something a little bit more exciting, huh? Like Attica. BRENNAN: My neighbors are renovating their apartment and one of the workmen left his radio on. Hip hop is not conducive to sleep. PRISONER: Get me out of here. BRENNAN: Whoa. Are you allowed to put that many men in one cell? BOOTH: Just cut the warden a little slack, okay, Bones? There was a riot. WARDEN: The cell doors open automatically in a fire. The guards had to subdue the inmates so the firefighters could do their jobs. (Prisoner grabs Brennan and pulls her towards the cell. Booth grabs Brennan and pulls her away, between him and the Warden.) BOOTH: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You stay close, okay? A lot of these animals haven't seen a real woman since Reagan was president. BRENNAN: Okay. WARDEN: (pointing) Body's in here. BOOTH: Okay, you're sure this is Howard Epps? WARDEN: This was his cell. BRENNAN: Why not keep him on death row? WARDEN: We don't have one. He was transferred to Bayview so he'd be closer to the courthouse for his trial. BRENNAN: (Looking at burnt remains) Victim is male, approximately 30 years of age. He matches Epps general size and build. Contortion indicates a... (smiling) painful death. BOOTH: Well, after killing four teenage girls that we know about
