Storyline

An ex-FBI agent is crucified and torched on top of a hotel with a message inside his throat which re-opens a case from the 70s that sent an innocent man to prison. The case has ties that go deep inside the FBI, endangering Bones and her brother Russ, and risking Booth's career. Bones receives a visit from an old friend of their father Max Keenan, who is holding back a secret. Elsewhere Zack defends his dissertation to earn his doctorate, and worries he may not be hired at the institute as he is "cute, but a jury won't take you seriously".

Trivia

Because of filming curfews in downtown Los Angeles, the opening scene with a burning body had to be filmed in the day rather than a night. A technique called 'day for night' was used to make the change.

Goofs

When Booth is laying down pictures of the bank robbers and naming them by their code names, he ends with "Columbus", Brennan's dad. A few seconds later Russ points to the photos and identifies the top two as his mom and dad, but in this shot a photo of their mom is on top, but we never saw Booth lay it down or say "Freemont" the code name for Brennan's mom
