TEXT: "Pilot" [SCENE_BREAK] [Opening scene has a well dressed woman rushing toward an arrivals board in a busy airport] Angela: I'm late... [Looking up at a malfunctioning arrivals board] Angela: This board is broken. The arrivals board is not working. Uh, did anybody meet the flight from Guatemala? Aviateca airlines? What gate? Yeah, right. I'm late. [Stepping up to a customer service desk] Angela: Excuse me, uh, you have a computer glitch at the arrivals board. [Customer service agent ignores her] Angela: Hello! Sir, excuse me, yoo-hoo... [Customer service guy holds up a finger to silence her] Angela: Great. [She rips open her shirt revealing a lacy bustier, getting young guy's attention] Angela: Yeah. Hi. The flight from Guatemala? [Off Angela to Brennan] Temp: Tell me you tried 'excuse me' first. Angela: Sweeeeetie. Yes, I did. [Hugging Temp] Welcome home. Are you exhausted? Was Guatemala awful? Was it horribly backward? Temp: And yet I was never reduced to flashing my boobs for information. Angela: Flash them for any fun reasons? Temp: I was literally neck deep in a mass grave, not romantic. Angela: You know, diving in a pit of cadavers is no way to handle a messy break up. Temp: Angela, nothing Pete and I ever did was messy.

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.
