TEXT: "The Man in the Morgue" [SCENE_BREAK] TEASER A man's VOICEOVER is heard as video of the destruction left by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans is shown - destroyed houses, recovery workers in white hazmat suits, piles of waste, overturned cars. VO: Even all these months after Katrina ravaged the city of New Orleans, human remains are still being found in devastated neighborhoods across the city. Cadaver dogs are being used to search for 2,300 people still unaccounted for. Makeshift morgues still exist in warehouses, schools and churches throughout the area. The camera pulls back to reveal a small television set in just such a makeshift warehouse morgue. INT. TEMPORARY MORGUE - ST. GABRIEL, LOUISIANA Dozens of people in blue scrubs are examining cadavers. The camera travels from one room to another with seemingly no end of dead bodies. VO: Officials are finally beginning to admit what many people have known since the levees broke long ago - many of these people will never be found. MIKE DOYLE, an orderly, is wheeling a body from one room to another. DR. GRAHAM LEGIERE, the medical examiner, joins him as he walks past. They continue their conversation as they walk. GRAHAM LEGIERE: (pats him on the back) You look tired, Mike. Late night? MIKE DOYLE: Oh, yeah. Late and nasty. GRAHAM LEGIERE: Same kinky creature? MIKE DOYLE: Doc, the girl, Carrie's, a serious perv swerve. Mike pushes the body into an autopsy room. He stops in front of BRENNAN who is writing up her notes in a chart on another body. She smiles listening to the conversation. GRAHAM LEGIERE: Feeling wrong feels so good. MIKE DOYLE: It's... (stops when he notices Brennan listening) Hey, sorry, Dr. Brennan. BRENNAN: No, it's fine. Males often bond by exaggerating sexual conquests. GRAHAM
SUMMARY:
When Brennan wakes up in the bathroom of her New Orleans motel room, bloodied, beaten up and her earring ripped out of her ear, she doesn't know what happened or how she got there, and discovers she's lost an entire day of her life. The circumstances and her loss of memory are enough to rattle even Brennan, who's in New Orleans on vacation, helping to identify victims of Hurricane Katrina. Upon learning of Brennan's situation, Booth arrives on the scene to help her decipher her lost day. When the local medical examiner in New Orleans is found murdered, Brennan is targeted as the prime suspect. Booth and Brennan's investigation leads them into the dark underworld of Southern voodoo, but their search for answers may not come in time to clear Brennan's name.
