TEXT: ACT ONE (Night. Two FREEGANS walk down a deserted alley to an open dumpster.) FREEGAN #1: So, I've been a freegan for about a year now. Fact, if Al Gore really cared about the environment, he'd live out of dumpsters. FREEGAN #2: You should like, totally be in charge of the Earth. FREEGAN #1: Don't I know it. This is a primo dumpster. Two restaurants and a convenience store use it. You're the only person I've ever brought here. FREEGAN #2: Nobody's taken me out to dinner in like, forever. (They kiss.) FREEGAN #1: We are going to indulge in a freakin' feast, my lady. Hop in. FREEGAN #2: Okay. (They both enter the dumpster.) FREEGAN #1: Fact, "best before dates" are just marketing tools to increase profits and make more garbage to feed the corporate monster. Oh look, eggs! And some apples. Just... just eat around the bruised part. FREEGAN #2: (bites into an apple) Mmm. This is like throwing out a baby. FREEGAN #1: I feel so close to you right now. FREEGAN #2: Oh! Look at all the yogurt and the veggies. FREEGAN #1: Wait a minute, do you smell that? There's something choice down there. You learn to recognize scents like a wine guy. It could be meat. Fact, if you cook it through, it's fine. Mmm, it's meat. (Pulls out a skull and both scream.) (Cut to: BRENNAN's car.) BOOTH: Hmm, the perfect murder? BRENNAN: I'm a forensic anthropologist. It would be odd if I didn't consider the perfect murder. First consideration, complete annihilation of the body. No body, no murder. Perfect. BOOTH: Why are we talking about this? BRENNAN: My car. I choose the topic of conversation. Also, my car achieves excellent gas mileage. Currently, fifty-one miles per gallon.
SUMMARY:
After a skull and decomposing hands are found in a dumpster, the team must not only solve the crime but also search for the rest of the victim's remains. Identified as Ray Raminsky, the victim turns out to be a bounty hunter in search of Charles Braverman, a man indicted for the murder of a co-worker. Meanwhile, Brennan is asked by Professor Bunsen Jude "The Science Dude" if he can shoot an episode of his children's show from The Jeffersonian Lab with Brennan as his special guest. Brennan initially turns him down, but is surprised when he makes her a deal she can't refuse, so she takes him on as a new "squintern." As the team pieces together the details of the crime, they discover that they are not alone in the hunt for Braverman and find themselves in a chase with an unexpected suspect.
