Brennan-"....You've known Booth longer than I have. Do you think he'll kill Pelant the next time he has the chance?"

Cam-"Usually I'd say no, but... the way Booth's turning Flynn into a saint, feels like he's working himself up for something. But Booth's a complex man. I'm not sure any of us can tell what he's really thinking deep down."

*Brennan goes to Clemens bar to talk to him about Booth*

Brennan-"Booth wants to kill Pelant. Which is fine. He's a very bad man. He's murdered.... we don't know how many people. What if there's someone worse and we need Pelant to catch that killer?"

Clemens-"Oh, God. It's these ethical dilemmas that drove me out of the priesthood."

Brennan-"I need to know what Booth is going to do."

Clemens-"So U can protect Pelant?"

Brennan-"He's more valuable alive than dead. That's all."

C-"It depends which Booth is there."

B-"Seeley Booth, the one I love."

Clemens-"No, I mean, like all of us, he has two sides to him. He has one side that wants to save the world and one side that wants to take care of the people he loves. Those two collide, well, that's what you call a tortured soul."

B-"There's no such thing as a soul."

Clemens-"Says you. But Booth values nothing higher than his soul. Yet... he's willing to sacrifice his soul by killing Pelant."

Brennan-"Why?"

Clemens-"For you, of course. It's always gonna come down to you."
