Synopsis: Booth introduces Bones to Harry. He has a body for them to investigate. He was holding a bone and the doctor put it in a solution to cause it to break down and destroy any trace evidence. Back at the lab, it’s been determined the finger is over 300 years old. Hodgins thinks it’s the bone of a pirate from a treasure island. The two head to the island. When everyone ignores Booth, Bones gets their attention. Back at the lab, Zack and Hodgins are researching Blackbeard’s Treasure. Harry arrives with Bones and Booth. He has a soil sample. Hodgins needs a soil sample from the bottom of the hole to determine if he died at the bottom and floated to the top. He insists on collecting the samples himself. He is a certified cave diver. Back at the dive site, Booth tries to ensure that Hodgins will be safe during the dive. The mayor is interfering with the investigation. Back at the lab, Bones examines the bone again. At the dive site, Hodgins gets suited up and begins his descent. He makes it all the way to the bottom. He finds a skull and the entire skeleton that goes with it. The evidence suggests that the person was killed at the top after reaching the bottom. The millionaire investor flies in quite angry about the bones belonging to him.

Booth and Bones approach the shaft, they don’t know that Hodgins is diving. He explains he killed the two people because they turned the dive into a con.
