Transcript
00:01There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people psychopaths and mystery writers
00:06I'm the kind that pays better. Who am I?
00:08I'm Rick Castle Castle Castle
00:10I really am ruggedly handsome, alright
00:12Every writer needs inspiration, and I've found mine
00:15Detective Kate Beckett, Beckett, Beckett, Nicky Heat
00:17The character he's basing on you
00:19And thanks to my friendship with the mayor, I get to be on her case
00:21I'd be happy to let you spank me
00:23And together we catch killers
00:25Make a pretty good team, you know, like Starsky and Hutch, Turner and Hooch
00:29You do remind me a little of Hoot
00:43Ladies, I love it, I love it, I love it
00:45Sexy sexy is not a crime
00:47What's so special about world famous mystery novelist Richard Castle?
00:51He's rich, he's handsome, and he's basing his next bestseller on you
00:56Tell me, Detective Beckett, what's it like being the inspiration for Thrillmaster Richard Castle's new character, Nicky Heat?
01:03On behalf of the NYPD, it has been a pleasure to offer Mr. Castle insight into the profession
01:09Given all his bestsellers, it's obvious Mr. Castle has tremendous insight into the criminal mind
01:13I'm told in many occasions his participation was essential to solving your toughest cases
01:19Really? You were told that?
01:22By who?
01:23By Castle
01:26Could you excuse me for a moment?
01:29Sir?
01:31Could I talk to you in private for a moment, please?
01:34Now
01:35We had a deal, Beckett
01:41The deal is off
01:42What's the problem?
01:43Not only does he have the bachelor party cop twins out there using him as a stripper pole while I make nicey-nice with the press
01:50But do you know what he said?
01:51No?
01:52He said that he has been instrumental in helping us solve crimes
01:55Well, hasn't he?
01:57That's not the point
01:58Do you know how hard it is for NYPD to get good press? I mean in a magazine that people actually read?
02:04This article is very important to the mayor, therefore we are going to cooperate
02:09Do I make myself clear?
02:13Okay, fine
02:16It's nice to meet you
02:19We should have photo shoots here more often
02:21Hey Beckett, how come you don't wear a uniform like that?
02:23Because I don't want to get paid in singles
02:25Hey
02:29Oh, hey, don't we have that thing?
02:32No?
02:33Yeah, you know, the thing with the guy
02:35Oh, yeah
02:37Hey, excuse us
02:39I just wanted you to know I had nothing to do with this
02:43I mean, it was the magazine
02:45Well, the mayor thought it would be a good press
02:48You don't have to explain yourself
02:50Really?
02:51Really, see?
02:52I don't care anymore
02:53Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an interview to get back to
02:57What did I do that was so wrong?
03:00The one thing I asked you not to do
03:01Okay, so you asked me not to look into your mother's murder
03:03But look at what I found
03:05It doesn't matter what you found
03:06I put that all behind me a long time ago
03:08We can get back to the interview now
03:10Yeah, we're gonna have to reschedule
03:11We just caught a body
03:13So sorry to step out on you, Amy
03:15Oh, are you kidding? It's perfect
03:16A chance to see Castle in action
03:18Our readers will love it
03:19Well, we wouldn't want to disappoint your readers now, would we, detective?
03:22Hey, can we talk about this, please?
03:36There's nothing to talk about
03:37Well, just at least let me know what I can do to make it up to you
03:39You could leave me alone
03:40Yes, well, I tried that and it didn't work
03:43Hey, I could buy you a pony
03:46Focus, Castle, crime scene, okay?
03:55It's raining men
03:58Castle, what are you doing here?
04:00Don't worry, we're still mad at him
04:02Guy in a tree, mom and dad bickering
04:03Seems like old times
04:05How's it going up there?
04:06I got tree branches poking my boobs
04:08And spotlights shining up my booty
04:10Could be worse
04:12You could be wearing a skirt
04:14When I come down, I'mma smack you
04:16We're looking forward to that
04:18Here
04:20Vic's a white male, late thirties
04:22Judging from the cracked branches
04:24I'm guessing he did a superman off the top of that building
04:27Vic's name is John Allen
04:29ID has him on the Upper West Side
04:31Business card has him in insurance
04:33Is it a suicide?
04:34It's not a suicide
04:35It's not a suicide
04:37How do you know?
04:39The building is too short
04:41He'd want to kill himself, not cripple himself
04:43If you want to die, you're going to aim for concrete
04:45Not a tree
04:47From the angle of descent
04:49I'd say that guy was thrown off the building
04:51Since it clearly wasn't a suicide, how did he die?
04:54There are signs of strangulation
04:56It looks like his windpipe was crushed
04:58Any ligature marks?
04:59Nope
05:00Ligature refers to anything that ties or binds
05:02Like a rope or a belt
05:03Any marks suggest he was strangled by hand
05:05Wow, you really know your stuff
05:06No wonder they like having you around
05:08You know what?
05:09He's such an incredible resource
05:11It seems like a shame to waste his talents here in the field
05:14Would you mind going back to the morgue with Dr. Parish
05:16To see what else we can find out about Vic?
05:18Don't you think I'd be of more use here at the crime scene?
05:19Oh no, we're just going to knock on doors and see what else we can stir up
05:24You know, boring police stuff
05:26Fine, but I was serious about the problem
05:29Come on, I'll show you the, uh, morgue mobile
05:34Anything in the wallet?
05:35Nope, track cleaning, ticket, ID, two credit cards
05:39Cash was missing though
05:41It's a long way to go for a robbery
05:48You mean we have to ride with the body?
05:51You can take my seat up front
05:53You sure?
05:55I'm used to hanging out with stiffs
05:56Hi
06:08Uh-uh, you do not get to say hi to me
06:10I'm just doing my girl a favor
06:12Oh, you too, huh?
06:14Well, what did you expect?
06:16Beckett spent the first three years of being a cop trying to solve her mother's murder
06:20It took everything that she had to put it behind her
06:22You couldn't respect that?
06:23What was I supposed to do? Not tell her what I found?
06:25What you found?
06:27Oh, she didn't tell you, did she?
06:31Three people were killed the same way her mother was, right about the same time
06:35One of them was a former law student of hers
06:38Another one, a documents clerk
06:40The third one, a lawyer for a non-profit
06:42Wait, the ME at the time didn't make the connection?
06:45If he did, he buried it
06:47Did you talk to him?
06:49He died four years ago
06:51So you see why I had to tell her
06:53What did she say?
06:54What did she say?
06:58That we were done
07:00And then she just walked out
07:06Don't move, don't move
07:08Whoa!
07:11Get the body!
07:12Go!
07:15Go!
07:16Go!
07:17Go!
07:18Move!
07:19Come on, move!
07:21Go!
07:27Is it just me, or is that really, really weird?
07:29Really, really weird?
07:38Well?
07:39He'll live
07:41What, no brain damage?
07:42He has some, it happened way before tonight and was probably self-inflicted
07:45Good times
07:47How's Lois Lane?
07:48Who, reporter chick?
07:49We took her statement, we sent her home
07:51We got an APB on the sedan, CSUs are combing the rooftop
07:54And we got unions looking for surveillance footage of the crash site
07:56You know what I don't get?
07:57Who would steal a dead body?
07:59Oh, plenty of people
08:01Organ harvesters, cadaver-less med students
08:04Satanists, mad scientists looking to create their own monster
08:07Or the guys who killed him might have left some evidence behind
08:10Boring
08:11How about a spy having swallowed a top-secret microchip
08:16That the enemy forces murder him over before the CIA can get a hold of him?
08:21As much as we all appreciate your insightful and incredibly believable theories
08:25Ms. Cosmo is gone, so I believe you can go home now
08:28Oh, no, no, no, no, this case just got good
08:32And, and I'm, I'm a witness
08:34All right, I'll let you work this one case with me
08:41If you promise to leave me alone when it's over and not to weasel your way back in
08:46Deal
08:48But fair warning, detective
08:50I will make you change your mind
08:53I won't
08:54You will
08:56So what's the next step? Victim's family?
08:58Oh, I didn't think she should take him back
09:05Mrs. Allen? Yes?
09:07It's about your husband
09:09He was just right here just a couple of hours ago and now he's dead
09:18Do you know of any reason why he'd be in that part of town?
09:21No
09:23His office is, uh, in Midtown, it's nowhere near 9th
09:27What time did he leave the apartment?
09:28Around six
09:30He had just gotten back from his trip and, uh, he said he needed to catch up on some paperwork
09:36He said he'd only be gone for a couple of hours
09:39You said a trip?
09:41He was in Albuquerque on a training seminar
09:44It was just two nights
09:46Did you notice anything unusual recently? Any strange behavior?
09:50Well, he, he had to work late
09:53A little more often than usual
09:55But, I mean, in this economy, who doesn't?
09:59He had to lay off half his department last year
10:02And you're sure he was working late?
10:05What are you saying? That he was cheating?
10:11Every night he would walk through that door and the kids would just race into his arms, okay?
10:17And now he's gone
10:19So don't ask me if he was really working late
10:23Tell me why he was killed
10:25He didn't mean to lie
10:27What about phone calls? Maybe late at night?
10:29Castle?
10:31Yeah, yeah, um, one of the guys that John fired, Max Haverstock
10:36He would call him up late at night and he would yell at him, all sorts of things
10:41I guess he was hurting, he needed money
10:44And I, I told John that he should just hang up on him
10:47And John said no, he, he couldn't do that
10:50Did he ever give him money?
10:52My husband didn't believe in handouts
10:54He believed that a man should make his way
11:00Where is he?
11:02I'd like to say goodbye
11:03About that, um...
11:12That was awkward
11:15It's just it doesn't make any sense
11:17The guy's got a stable middle class life, good job, good family
11:21Maybe it's when Max was jealous
11:23Yeah, maybe enough to kill him but to steal his body
11:26Hey Esposito, I need you to look up a friend of the Vic
11:29Max Haverstock
11:30Yeah
11:37Okay, find him and, uh, bring him in
11:45Dad, thank God you're home, are you okay?
11:47Yeah, I'm fine, why?
11:49Fine? Masked gunmen, body snatchers?
11:51I texted you like a thousand times
11:53Oh, I'm sorry, my phone must have been off
11:55How, how did you know?
11:57Beckett called
11:58Really?
12:00She just wanted to let us know you were all right
12:02Mm-hmm
12:04So, has she forgiven you?
12:05Uh, not exactly, mother, but I'm working on it
12:08She has agreed to let me help on the case
12:11Well, that's a start, I suppose
12:13It is more than a start, it is an opportunity
12:17She may have built a wall between us, but I am going to build a door in that wall
12:22Or put up a ladder, or dig a hole
12:24Dig a hole
12:25You have a strategy?
12:27Be my usual charming self
12:29Uh-huh, well what about plan B?
12:34So was it awful, were you scared?
12:36Me? Scared? No way, come on now, excuse me while I change my shorts
12:41Dad!
12:42No, I was scared, but all they were after was the body
12:44Why?
12:45Why indeed
12:47Dad, where are you? Dad, are you alright? Dad, call us right away
12:51Dad, can I go see fame with Owen on Friday?
12:54Your concern is touching
12:58Okay, that one was after I knew you were alright
13:00Yeah, but I thought we were going to go see that together
13:01We were, and we still can, but he invited me to go see it with him next Friday
13:05You'd rather go with your boyfriend than your dad, what is wrong with you?
13:09If you really want me to go with you, I will
13:12No, no, you tell Owen he has won this round, but I got dibs on a Christmas Carol
13:18Thanks Dad, and I'm glad you weren't killed by body snatchers
13:21Me too
13:23Yeah, they remade fame in a Christmas Carol
13:25Has Hollywood totally run out of ideas?
13:27Well, they just optioned Asteroids the video game, so my guess is yes
13:31But Ryan Reynolds is playing the Wii Triangle, and he's good
13:32Are you sure this is the guy? Maxwell Haverstock, and he confirmed he knew the Vic
13:44This guy couldn't throw a wet sponge off the roof, little body
13:53Mr. Haverstock
13:55Yes
13:56Do you know why you're here?
13:57No, uh, they just told me I needed to come in
13:59It's about John Allen
14:02He was murdered last night
14:04That's terrible
14:06You and he were friends
14:08We had adjoining cubicles
14:10When was the last time you saw him?
14:12Oh, uh, not since D-Day
14:14That's, uh, that's what we called it, you know, D for downsizing
14:17You were let go?
14:19Yeah
14:20I bet that made you pretty angry
14:22Yeah, 15 years we worked there together, you know, you'd think that would mean something
14:25You'd think that loyalty would be worth something, you know what it's worth?
14:28A kick in the teeth
14:30Do you ever call and tell John that?
14:31Oh, yeah, all the time
14:33Yeah, I told him we didn't deserve to be treated like that
14:36But I promised him one day the worm would turn
14:39Cause Karma's a nasty little bitch
14:41Is that why you killed him?
14:43Who?
14:45John
14:47Why would I want to kill John?
14:49For firing you?
14:50He didn't fire me, we were let go together on D-Day
14:54Uh, unfortunately I was able to find another job
14:58He didn't have a job
15:00I guess he, uh, doesn't have to look for one anymore
15:04Hey, yo, Beckett
15:07Story checks
15:09John Allen was laid off eight months ago when the AIG crisis hit
15:12What about Albuquerque?
15:14No record of a John Allen coming back from any flight in the Tri-State area
15:17Well, makes you wonder what else he lied to his wife about
15:20And how he paid all of his bills
15:22Beckett?
15:24Alright
15:25Uh, thank you
15:27They found his body
15:29Again
15:35What happened?
15:38Someone
15:40Operated on him
15:42Operated?
15:43They cut him open and took all of his organs out
15:46Ouch
15:48Somebody hated his guts
15:53The guys who did this weren't surgeons
15:59The cuts are sloppy
16:00Box cutters and kitchen knives
16:02Any idea what they were looking for?
16:04I ran a top screen and found nothing in the bloodstream
16:06But in the body cavity itself there were trace amounts of powder cocaine
16:09He was their drug mule
16:11Guess they couldn't wait for him to pass the packets the old fashioned way
16:13I don't buy it
16:15How does a middle aged insurance actuary with no history of substance abuse, no criminal record, become a drug mule?
16:23This was not a bad guy
16:25Just don't just fill out an ad on Craig's list
16:28You gotta know people
16:30Bad people
16:31As freaky as all this is, let's not forget it happened post-mortem
16:35The actual cause of death is up here
16:37Bruise pattern indicates the assailant strangled him with both hands
16:41The bruising is a little lighter right there
16:44What would account for that?
16:46Dislocated a broken finger, maybe
16:48Maybe he's fancy
16:50Strangled people with his pinky sticking out
16:52Like tea
16:55Just got off with homeland security
16:58Passport records indicate that John Allen was coming back from Mexico, not New Mexico
17:02No criminal history, healthy, white, middle class
17:06They wouldn't have looked at him twice at customs
17:08Guy had skills, why would he do something so stupid?
17:11Because he had to
17:13I just went over financials with the wife
17:15How bad?
17:16They've been living on credit cards the last six months
17:19She had no idea, she thought everything was fine
17:21Well if he wasn't going to work everyday, where was he going?
17:23Applying for jobs
17:25I found hundreds of cover letters and resumes on his computer
17:28I don't understand, why didn't they just sell the apartment?
17:31Wasn't worth the mortgage
17:32Life insurance?
17:34Stopped making payments four months ago
17:36Guy was basically worthless, alive or dead
17:38Yeah, Ryan here
17:40You know, I get desperation, I get needing the money
17:44I even get being a drug mule
17:46What I don't get is, where did he get the job?
17:48Yeah, thanks Bill
17:49That was CSU
17:51It was our perp for wearing gloves
17:53The only prints they grab off to the car
17:54Belonged to the owner, who reported it stolen last night
17:57Looks like we're not going to grab a break on this one
17:59What about the glove we found at the scene?
18:01We dusted it too, nothing
18:03Well did you dust inside?
18:05Inside?
18:06Yeah, inside the glove
18:16You want me to put on some music?
18:19Whenever they do this sort of thing on CSI
18:22They always do it to music in poorly lit rooms
18:26Kinda reminds me of porn
18:29Zip it, Castle
18:35Ever consider becoming a mule?
18:37Keep talking and I'll practice on you
18:49Got you, you son of a bitch
18:59Boom, got a hit
19:02Luther Whitehead busted twice for possession with intent
19:06Once on conspiracy
19:08Played out on all three
19:09Did a nickel upstate for a gun charge
19:11And is currently on parole for conspiracy distribute
19:14Something tells me his parole is about to be revoked
19:16You got an address?
19:17Yeah
19:18One, two, three, four
19:19One, two, three, four
19:21One, two, three, four
19:26He said
19:27Look at your steps
19:28A lot of fun is home
19:30They dice the game
19:31They got a little more
19:32The other one
19:33Or the other one
19:35No!
19:43Oh, we're right there!
19:45Nobody move!
19:48Behind your back!
19:49Hit!
19:50Hit!
19:52Hit!
19:53Hit!
19:54Counselor, I have them dead to rights on weapons, possession, assault, desecration of a body, and about a dozen other things I haven't even begun to think about yet.
20:10What is my incentive to cut a deal?
20:13You don't have them on the murder.
20:15Give me time.
20:16You don't need time because they didn't do it.
20:18Ten years concurrent on all charges, eligible in five, and they'll tell you everything they know.
20:24He was coming to see you.
20:28At a flop house on 9th.
20:29He was supposed to be there by 7th.
20:31But this guy, he got three quarters of a meal worth of our coke in his stomach, and he don't show.
20:36So what'd you do?
20:37We went to find him.
20:39That's from Heather's Sirens.
20:40Lots of them.
20:41We go downstairs, walk up the block, and guess what we see?
20:44A bunch of cops staring at a tree.
20:46Friggin' tree.
20:47The dude was in a tree.
20:49So you waited?
20:50The only way to get the body back.
20:52I mean, we couldn't get the packets via the usual method.
20:55So you improvised.
20:57Doesn't matter.
20:58He was already dead.
21:00So why'd he start a meal?
21:01Same as anyone.
21:03Desperation.
21:04It's just...
21:05He doesn't seem the type.
21:07Anybody's the type.
21:08You push him hard enough.
21:09I mean, the guy owed.
21:11He was, uh, fourth and long with the clock running out.
21:14Who was he into?
21:15Didn't say, but he was scared.
21:18You want to know who killed him?
21:19You find out who he owed.
21:21No, no, no, no.
21:22I'm going to need more.
21:22I'm going to need to know who vouched.
21:24Vouched?
21:25For John Allen.
21:26Our Vic, your mule.
21:28Somebody brought him to you.
21:29Somebody you trusted.
21:31Or do you just do business with every desperate white boy with no history of criminal activity?
21:35Hell, man.
21:36How'd you know he wasn't a cop?
21:41At the printout, Ron Bigby.
21:43He's a floor trader at Goldman.
21:44Vic's wife never heard the name.
21:46For a guy who sets his risk for a living, he sure does seem to take a lot of it.
21:49Yeah, well, look where it got him.
21:51Pick him up.
21:51Got it.
21:55Castle.
21:59Dead?
22:00Yeah.
22:01Wait, dead?
22:02Mr. Bigby.
22:03You can ask as often as you like.
22:04The answer's not going to change.
22:06Oh, that's a damn shame.
22:08That is a damn, damn shame.
22:10I mean, do you know who John Allen is?
22:12Huh?
22:12He's a new Willy Loman.
22:14Okay?
22:14Every man victim of an apathetic world.
22:17God, I swear someone should write a play.
22:19Hey, do you write plays?
22:21Unproduced.
22:22Mr. Bigby, it's come to our attention that you recently obtained employment for Mr. Allen
22:26as a drug mule.
22:30You know about that?
22:31Yeah.
22:32And bad news, Ron.
22:34You're going to have to find a new dealer.
22:36What'd they tell you?
22:37That you got him an introduction and that you vouch for Mr. Allen.
22:40Okay, look, he came to me desperate, all right?
22:43He remembered a story I told one night at the table.
22:46The table?
22:47Yeah, poker table.
22:48We're in one of the floating games around town.
22:50You know, small stakes, right?
22:51But good way to blow off steam.
22:53But then when he got laid off, it stopped being a game.
22:56He started betting to make up his paycheck.
22:59The stakes were too low.
23:00So he went to Chinatown.
23:03The mob run games?
23:04Yeah, triads.
23:05He did fine for a bit, you know, but luck's a fickle bitch.
23:09He lost more than he had to the wrong guy.
23:11He couldn't make enough to cover his losses.
23:13Yeah, that's when he remembered the night I told the story about my own fiscal emergency.
23:16About how I went to Mexico, made 50 grand in one day.
23:20That's when I figured, hey, what the hell?
23:23Just pay it forward.
23:24All right, this guy that he owed, did he give you a description?
23:27Name?
23:28No name.
23:29John thought he was Russian mafia because of all his tattoos.
23:33Some tatted up Russian mobster was after me.
23:35I could see taking a job as a drug mill.
23:37A tattooed Russian in New York City.
23:39Well, that narrows it down.
23:40We conduct an investigation based on the information we have, not the evidence we need.
23:45Well, Bigby says that the Russian hangs out at the club at Chinatown.
23:48Why don't we just go there?
23:50The games are word of mouth, bro.
23:52They don't just share with cops.
23:54Well, luckily I'm not a cop.
23:55Castle.
23:56What? It's perfect.
23:57I go in, scope the place out until I ID the Russian.
24:00You know what? That's not a bad plan.
24:03We still have to find the game.
24:05Leave that to me.
24:06That's a pretty good story, Ricky.
24:08That's got a big opening, a major twist.
24:11Though I gotta say, I saw that whole drug mule thing coming.
24:14Nice try, Connell.
24:15You're not gonna goad me into raising.
24:17Steven, you once wrote about an underground poker game in King Kong.
24:21Yeah.
24:22And you once had Harry Bosch investigate the murder of a poker player.
24:25Yeah, a $1 jackpot.
24:27Why?
24:27Well, Michael, this guy that we're looking for,
24:30he's a regular in the triad run games in Chinatown.
24:33I thought maybe one of you knew someone who could get me in.
24:36What are you nuts?
24:37Those are crooks and killers down there.
24:39Look, Ricky, doing the research is one thing,
24:42but the Russian mafia, the triad,
24:44you tangle with those people,
24:45and all the bestsellers in the world are not gonna protect you.
24:47I don't plan on tangling.
24:49I'm just gonna be another rich, bored thrill seeker
24:51looking to try my luck down there.
24:54You must really like her.
24:56Who?
24:56That police detective of your luck, Ricky.
25:00There's only one reason that you'd be dumb enough to go down there,
25:04and that's to impress a girl.
25:06Why don't you cut yourself a little slack and just buy her some flowers?
25:10Do you know the place or not?
25:11Are you sure this is the place?
25:27Candle has never steered me wrong.
25:28Okay.
25:31Button cam's in place, right?
25:33It's right.
25:34It's a picture and sound.
25:37All right.
25:38So remember, we can hear you, but you can't hear us.
25:41So once you leave this van, you're on your own, okay?
25:45All right.
25:45Tell me the plan again.
25:47I go in.
25:48I find the tattooed Russian.
25:50I get a clear picture of him, and I get the hell out of there.
25:52And you don't stay any longer than you need to.
25:54I'll be fine.
25:55Besides, it's Chinatown.
25:56How many Russian poker players come there, please?
26:11Anybody else have a bad feeling about this?
26:14Yeah.
26:14Yeah, that's what I thought.
26:25I'll be fine.
26:55Go ahead and do it.
27:18One other up.
27:23I'm in.
27:33Tattooed Russian.
27:42There's another tattooed Russian.
27:44There's a whole table of tattooed Russians.
27:52Apparently, there are a lot more Russians in Chinatown than I thought.
28:00So, the Russians are regulars here, but only a handful of played the no limit table, which
28:14is where John Allen would have gone.
28:16The guy said they're card bullies.
28:18Pushing up pots, forcing their opponents to better march to stay in the game.
28:21Do you think he has any idea he's recapping a conversation that we just heard in its entirety?
28:26Give the guy a gadget he thinks he's born.
28:28Let's just hope he remembers he's wearing a camera before he goes and takes a leak.
28:31Why would you trust me?
28:32What kind of trouble I can stir up?
28:35I'm going to go sit at the table.
28:37See if I can find anything out.
28:38What did he say?
28:42He just said he's taking a seat at the...
28:43That's not the plan.
28:44That's not the plan, Castle.
28:48How's it going?
28:50This is no limit table.
28:52Which is perfect, because I am a no limit kind of guy.
28:56Change for $40,000.
28:57No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, what's he doing?
29:04Dropping half my yearly salary like a pocket change.
29:09Nice tats.
29:15No, tattoos, the tattoos.
29:18What do they say?
29:20It says mind your own business.
29:22You play cards.
29:23All right, don't mean to pry.
29:24I'm just, uh, I'm actually just a writer.
29:27Just do a little bit of research.
29:30Writer, huh?
29:32Anything we might have heard of?
29:35Uh, Stormfall, Storm's Last Stand.
29:38Diddy Stolt.
29:39Yeah.
29:39I love this guy.
29:41Why did you kill him?
29:43It's a long story, but I'm working on a new one about, uh, underground poker.
29:47Very hush-hush.
29:48Just kind of get down and feel for the world, you know.
29:51And you're wanting for it to be authentic.
29:53Exactly.
29:55No problem.
29:57I don't want to know how to make our money.
30:00Let's see.
30:01Let's see.
30:03How much do you have to pay for the money?
30:05Ha, ha, ha, ha.
30:07Yeah.
30:08Seems like he's making friends.
30:10They just said they're going to take him for everything he's got.
30:13What, you speak Russian?
30:14Semester in Kiev, between junior and senior year.
30:18Sometimes when I'm bored, I go to Glecik Cafe in Little Odessa and pretend to be Moscovite.
30:22No, that's kind of hard.
30:27Chris.
30:30Oh.
30:32Michael.
30:33Check the player's hand, see if there's anything that'll explain the bruise patterns on our Vix neck.
30:53Go.
30:53Mr. Castle, tell me a little bit more about this book.
30:59Well, it's about a Russian mobster with a taste for cards.
31:05He, uh, preys off of desperation, luring people in to bet him more than they have.
31:12And why would you do this?
31:20Because he's also a loan shark.
31:24See, he fronts his victims and makes bank on the Vix.
31:27What the hell's he doing?
31:27He's playing poker.
31:29He's trying to provoke one of these guys into giving up their hand.
31:31Or he's trying to tip off our killer.
31:33But there's one guy, the family guy.
31:34He gets in a little too deep.
31:37Can't be the loan back.
31:40So the mobster...
31:41Got no choice.
31:43Has to kill him.
31:45Sent a message to anyone else who owns him.
31:48So one night...
31:49He lures him into an abandoned building.
31:53Strangles him to death and throws him off the roof.
31:55Since I got a lot of work, I want to just put a bullet in his head.
32:03Much more simple.
32:04Bang.
32:10Hey, Ryan, check this out.
32:11What does he do with his finger?
32:13Punch in on that.
32:17It's a prosthetic.
32:18That's why I didn't leave a mark on our Vic.
32:21That's our guy.
32:22Hey, if he thinks Cass is a threat, he's a...
32:23We gotta get him out of there now.
32:24The security's pretty well armed.
32:26We go in there as cops, it might get messy.
32:27What are you doing?
32:28I'm gonna go in there.
32:30And if I'm not out in ten minutes, you guys call for backup.
32:32Can I have my purse, please?
32:34What are you gonna do?
32:35Lip glossing to death?
32:36Something like that.
32:54Something like that.
32:55No, that's all.
33:08It's not yoki.
33:08Uh.
33:10It's not one of those.
33:12We have poo.
33:13Oh, come on, boys.
33:35My boyfriend is waiting.
33:37He's a player.
33:38If I don't go inside, he will lose.
33:41I mean, it's like a charm, you know?
33:44No?
33:46Well, maybe I can be a lucky charm for you.
33:50We win, and when I'm in there, we always win.
33:53And then maybe I can share some of my boyfriend's luck with you.
33:59Hmm.
34:04All in.
34:08It's a big pot, Mr. Reiter, man.
34:10All that money.
34:11But then what is money to millionaire, huh?
34:15You just can write it off on your taxes.
34:17It's doing research.
34:21All in.
34:22You are like character in your book.
34:29In too deep.
34:32Three queens.
34:33It's very impressive.
34:41Not a lot can beat three queens.
34:44Except inside straight, maybe.
34:46Sweetheart, this is for you.
34:47Would you change this into something a little smaller that I can carry?
34:50Now, that is a big pile of money, but what's money to a mobster, right?
34:54Who are you?
35:06I told you, I'm a novelist.
35:07The story, the dead man, the roof.
35:09Who told you?
35:09Who knows?
35:10His family knows.
35:10His children know.
35:11If he paid what he owed, he'd be home with them now.
35:13But he crossed me, and now you have crossed me.
35:16No, no, no, no.
35:16I'm just a writer.
35:18Do not lie.
35:19You're a cop.
35:20Him a cop?
35:22Don't make me laugh.
35:24He's barely even a man.
35:26Beckett?
35:27But you are a man, aren't you?
35:29A very handsome man.
35:31Richard, are you bothering this handsome man?
35:35Go away.
35:37Okay, boys and their guns.
35:39Am I supposed to be impressed?
35:40It doesn't concern you.
35:42Actually, it does.
35:46Is it just my imagination, or did you change?
35:50Basil, could you get some backup, please?
35:52Yeah.
35:53Shh, shh, shh.
35:54Yeah.
35:55Yeah.
36:00This way.
36:13How is she?
36:16It's hard when everything you thought you knew turns out to be a lie.
36:22Well, not everything was a lie.
36:24Not her husband's love.
36:26I mean, sometimes we do the wrong things for the right reasons.
36:32So, case is closed.
36:34I guess your Cosmo story gets a happy ending.
36:36Speaking of happy endings, thanks for saving my life.
36:41I was just trying to avoid paperwork.
36:43Yeah.
36:44Make a pretty good team, you know.
36:46Like Starsky and Hutch.
36:48Tango and Cash.
36:50Turner and Hooch.
36:51You know, not that you mention it, you do remind me a little of Hooch.
36:54Mm-hmm.
36:55It's because you're afraid, isn't it?
37:02You're afraid that if you look into your mother's death, that you will go back down that rabbit hole and lose yourself again.
37:08But it's different this time.
37:13We have good leads.
37:14We have strong leads.
37:17And you won't have to do it alone.
37:21We can do it together.
37:24What if I don't want to know?
37:26Did you ever think of that?
37:31What if I'm not ready?
37:32What if the idea of catching my mom's murderer and then having to sit there and watch as he cuts some deal that puts him back out on the street in ten years makes me nauseous?
37:40You dredged up my past for you, Castle, not for me, and you're too selfish to even see it.
37:50The case is closed, Castle.
37:53We made a deal, and I expect you to honor it.
38:10The case is closed, Castle, not for me, and you're too selfish to even see it.
38:40And Beckett?
38:46I'm sorry, Dad.
38:48So how was the movie?
38:50We didn't go.
38:52Why not?
38:53Owen.
38:56What happened?
38:57He was playing video games and lost track of time.
38:59By the time he showed up, it was too late.
39:06Sorry, sweetie.
39:07And then when he did show up, he tried to act like it's no big deal, like I'm overreacting.
39:12I mean, he didn't even call.
39:15Why do boys do that?
39:18Why do they always have to justify everything?
39:22Why can't they just say they're sorry?
39:37For what?
39:39For just being you.
39:41I'm sorry.
40:05What I did was wrong.
40:10I violated your trust.
40:12I opened to old wounds, and I did not respect your wishes.
40:17And if we're not going to see each other again, then you deserve to know.
40:23I'm very, very sorry.
40:25But your little girl
40:29Is gonna change the world
40:35You'll see
