Soon Bones sees someone in the tunnel, and runs after him, but loses him after Booth chases after her. Soon learn that the victim, Marni was a documentary film maker, and we learn that she was dead before she fell. Before too long, Booth and Bones think that they have found the killers, but now cant track them down. They head off into the tunnels in search of the treasure and the killers. They son track down the killers, and find them trying to remove the treasure.

    Wow, I honestly didn't know that those mole people actually exist. I like the fact that Brennan sort of stood up for them, when Booth thought that they were all crazy.
    When they arrest the leader of those people because they think he knows more than he is telling him, which is correct but he did not kill her, and he explains why he chooses to live that way, it actually makes sense to me. I don't think those people are crazy, just because they chose to live different then us. I mean I would never want to live that way, but if it makes those peoples happier, then why not.
    I liked the ending, where Booth also learns that those people are not crazy.moreless

    When all's lost and heart's filled with grief, where do you go? Apparently there's a lot of people living beneath the city, in the tunnels. Here, they take repreive of whatever's haunting them in reality. This i find a particularly informative episode for me. These people made these choices to live in the dark but they still have respect for life despite the greivances they did or faced in their past. We meet one of the leader of the tunnel who knew about the lost treasure (pieces of USA civil history) that caused the death of the girl who did a documentary on it.

    Thou it's easy to guess the culprit, i like following the storyline and obvious from this review, i like the insight to the tunnel people that Bones taught Booth to respect.moreless

    I thought that the beginning of the episode stared off very slow for what I expect out of the series. Usually the middle part of the episode drags and the beginning and the end are the most interesting parts. This episode just seemed to get more interesting as it went on. Booth and Bones didnt really have a lot of good on screen connection that they are used to getting, but the entire show cant always be based around them. How they found the killers was a little weak, with them watching the documentary and finding the two guys, I just would have liked it had the team made the connection between the dead woman and having her get killed with a climbing tool, and having them founjd out that way. Overall though, I though the episode was pretty good, one of the average episodes of the season - kept me entertained though most of it.moreless

    • Booth: Ten-four, Tac Team Three. Brennan: Okay, I bet tick-tock team is here, two levels above us. Booth: Don't call them tick-tock team, okay? They're Tac Team. It's short for tactical. Edit
    • Goodman: This fellow knew where something of value was being stored. Hodgins: Came down with an accomplice. Goodman: Hm-mm. Hodgins: I apologize. I have been hanging about Booth way to much. Bones: It's a valid hypothesis. No doubt one of many. Zack: They argued. One killed the other for the treasure. Doesn't that mean the vault will be empty when we find it? Oh, my God. They got me too.

    • Helen: Harold is afraid of the world, why do you think he lives underground? Brennan: Penance. Booth: (looks at her surprised) What? Brennan: You catch murderers to pay off your penance, Harold lives underground. Edit

    • Booth: Kyle hit the Duke with the candlestick in the crypt. (Booth & Goodman laugh) Brennan: What? What's the joke? Booth: Clue. Brennan: What Clue? Booth is referring to a popular board game (called "Clue" in the US and "Cluedo" in the UK) where the players have to work out who killed Mr. Boddy (or Mr. Black depending on the version) with what weapon and in what room of his mansion, using a limited set of who, what and, where cards. Edit
    • Booth: You know Treasure of the Sierra Madre but you don't know Charlize Theron. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is the name of a 1948 movie starring Humphrey Bogart. Edit
    • The documentary about underground tunnels and the society found within bears a strong resemblance to Dark Days, a documentary by Marc Singer. Edit
