Transcript
00:00There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people.
00:04Psychopaths and mystery writers.
00:06I'm the kind that pays better.
00:07Who am I?
00:08I'm Rick Castle.
00:09Castle.
00:10Castle.
00:10I really am ruggedly handsome.
00:12Every writer needs inspiration.
00:14And I've found mine.
00:15Detective Kate Beckett.
00:16Beckett.
00:17Beckett.
00:17Nicky Heath.
00:18The character he's basing on you.
00:19And thanks to my friendship with the mayor, I get to be on her case.
00:22I'd be happy to let you spank me.
00:24And together we catch killers.
00:25Make a pretty good team, you know.
00:27Like Starsky and Hutch.
00:28Turner and Hooch.
00:29She do remind me a little of Hooch.
00:30She do remind me a little of Hooch.
00:59Well, that was easy.
01:16All right.
01:17What do we do next?
01:18Set up your profile.
01:19Name, Martha Rogers.
01:22Sex, female.
01:25Race.
01:25Colorblind.
01:27Why should I categorize myself?
01:29Shades of gray, darling.
01:30Age.
01:30Ageless.
01:31No better yet.
01:32Timeless.
01:33Oh, you don't want to put that.
01:34Makes you sound like you belong in a museum.
01:36Oh, you have a point.
01:37Ah.
01:38I know.
01:38Type in old enough.
01:40Nice.
01:41What are you ladies doing?
01:42Alexis is assisting me in creating a My Face account.
01:46I think you mean...
01:47Save your breath.
01:48I've been correcting her all morning.
01:49Well, it's my face, isn't it?
01:51It's not your face or someone else's face.
01:54I don't...
01:54Well, anyway.
01:56My fellow cast members have been raving about what fun it is, what a great networking tool
02:01it is.
02:02So, here I am.
02:03And now you just need to select a photo for your profile page.
02:05Okay, should we go dramatic or commercial or sassy?
02:13Don't you have anything from this century?
02:16Oh, you think the hair's a bit dated?
02:18Not exactly what I was getting at.
02:19I know what you were getting at.
02:21You're no spring chicken yourself, you know.
02:23Have you looked in the mirror lately?
02:24I have two words for you.
02:25Hairline and receding.
02:29Ah, made you look.
02:32She totally got you, Dad.
02:33Yes, Beckett.
02:37Either there's a dead body or you just want to hear my sultry voice.
02:41Dead body it is.
02:42Where?
02:45You got here fast, Castle.
02:46My side of town.
02:47So, what do we got?
02:48May I?
02:49Be my guest.
02:50Our victim's name is Caleb Shemansky.
02:52Shemansky.
02:53Is that a name?
02:53Yeah, it's a name.
02:54And he was pulling a Kevin Bacon and Quicksilver when all...
02:57I'm sorry, a what?
02:58Quicksilver.
02:59Kevin Bacon is a bike messenger who failed as a...
03:02Esposito, take him to school.
03:04The victim is Caleb Shemansky, an on-duty bike messenger.
03:07A masked suspect in a black four-door plows into him, killing him instantly.
03:11Then the suspect steals the messenger bag, jumps in his ride, and jets off.
03:16See, that wasn't so hard.
03:17No, no, it's good.
03:18If you like the dull, non-best-seller version.
03:20I thought I gave it some flair.
03:22I'm assuming we have plenty of witnesses?
03:24Several.
03:24Three of them got the suspect's license plate number.
03:26Aw, man.
03:27It's like having a cheat code.
03:28You've got multiple witnesses and a license plate number?
03:31It's gonna take you all of, what, five minutes to solve it?
03:33I ran the suspect's plates.
03:34The car was reported stolen an hour ago.
03:36A masked man in a stolen car.
03:38Our thief planned this, and obviously wanted what was ever in that messenger bag.
03:42Something our Vic was delivering, a package or a box.
03:46Contact the courier company.
03:47I want to know what was in that bag.
03:48Whatever it was, it was important enough to kill the messenger.
03:51Sir, we got an APB out on the car, but Esposito and Ryan got nothing on the canvas.
03:56Do we know what was in the package?
03:57The courier company's looking into it right now.
03:59Whatever it was, somebody thought that it was worth killing for.
04:02Off the top of my head, I'm gonna go with nuclear launch codes,
04:05Dick Cheney's soul on its way to the devil.
04:07All good theories, Castle.
04:08All good theories.
04:10Um, sir?
04:12Are you okay?
04:13You seem a little distracted.
04:16No, I'm focused.
04:18Focused on the precinct being up for review.
04:19In our case, closure rate being just under 1PP's new mandated minimum.
04:24Which, of course, doesn't take the budget cuts into consideration.
04:26Now, how the hell am I supposed to catch more bad guys with fewer detectives?
04:30Okay.
04:31The courier company said the Vic only had one package in his bag.
04:34Picked up from 2739 West 2nd, Apartment 3C.
04:37Sent by 1S Nidal Matar.
04:39I ran it through the system.
04:40There's a secure Nidal Matar on the terror watch list.
04:43Could be the same guy.
04:44Where was the package going?
04:45614 East 72nd.
04:46East 72nd.
04:47That's a 64 precinct.
04:48Sir, that could be an attack.
04:49I need a full tactical alert.
04:50How do I evacuate the building?
04:51I'll coordinate with Homeland Security.
04:52This is Detective Beckett.
04:53This is Captain Roy Montgomery.
04:54I need to speak your task force, sir.
04:55Hospital 1541.
04:57Get ESU over to the pickup address immediately.
04:59All units in...
04:59Yeah, this is Montgomery.
05:01Everybody here!
05:03Everybody here!
05:05Where's Nidal Matar?
05:07Shakir Nidal Matar, where is he?
05:09There's no Shakir Nidal Matar here.
05:12Only Sally Needlemyer.
05:15Ma'am, did you send a package by bike courier this morning?
05:17Yes, I did!
05:20S. Nidal Matar S. Niedermeyer.
05:24Some bozo at the courier company wrote the name wrong.
05:27Our bad.
05:28I'm gonna...
05:28We can...
05:29Yeah, we can fix this.
05:31Sorry.
05:31Mrs. Niedermeyer, somebody stole the courier bag that your package was in, and in the course
05:40of the crime, a bike messenger was killed.
05:42Oh, that's terrible.
05:44Yeah, we're trying to figure out why they stole the bag.
05:47You sent it to the 64th Precinct, is that right?
05:50Yes.
05:51Could you tell us what was in the package?
05:52No.
05:53No?
05:54No.
05:55Know you don't want to, or know you don't remember or know what's in the package?
06:00Yes.
06:01To the second part, the don't know part.
06:04Where'd you get the package?
06:06From my favorite nephew, Brady.
06:10Okay, where can we find Brady?
06:12In prison.
06:13Prison?
06:14Prison?
06:15When did he give you the package?
06:16Ten years ago, just before they sent him upstate.
06:20Brady came over, handed me the package, and then he said,
06:24Mima, take good care of this package.
06:27Don't tell anyone about it, and never, ever open it.
06:32Then why all of a sudden would you messenger it?
06:35Brady called about 7.30 this morning and asked me to send it right away to the man it wasn't dressed to.
06:43The man who arrested him ten years ago, Detective Roy Montgomery.
06:50It's Captain Roy Montgomery now.
06:53Oh.
06:54You know him.
06:56Yeah, he's our boss.
06:58The package was coming to me?
07:00Yeah.
07:00What's his name again?
07:02Brady Thompson.
07:03This is back when you were a detective with the 6-4.
07:05I, yeah, it's ringing some bells, but why would he send me a 10-year-old package?
07:08Esposito's on the phone with corrections.
07:09He's trying to get an interview.
07:10Do you recall anything at all about him?
07:13He killed a lady, pushing robbery going bad.
07:15Open and shut case.
07:16I think we even got a confession out of him.
07:17The aunt said that he was pretty insistent about getting the package directly to you.
07:21Do you know why that would be?
07:22You'd have to ask him.
07:24Not unless you perform a seance.
07:26He's dead.
07:27Got shanked in prison this morning.
07:28This morning?
07:29That's no coincidence.
07:32Have records pull everything from the old case.
07:34If memory serves, Brady was married when he went away.
07:37See if the wife is still a wife and if she knows anything.
07:39Beckett, call a warden.
07:40I want to see what they know about Brady's murder.
07:41And I need copies of all his phone calls.
07:43I want to know exactly what he said to Aunt Sally and anyone else for that matter.
07:46Okay.
07:47Hey, Beckett.
07:49Paisley Schemansky's here to see you.
07:50That's a bike messenger's sister.
07:54Excuse me.
08:14How does she do that?
08:16Better than anyone I know.
08:18Are you okay?
08:28My brother died trying to get something to me.
08:31No, I'm not okay.
08:41The prison sent over the last two phone calls Brady made.
08:44Can't I just put it in the mail?
08:46No, Aunt Sally, you've got to take it down to yourself.
08:49My hip's been acting up again.
08:51Then call a messenger service.
08:53I'll pay you, okay?
08:54All right.
08:55I'll take care of you.
08:57I've got to go now, okay?
08:59Take care now, Brady.
09:01Love you.
09:02Love you too, Emma.
09:04I've got to go.
09:07Nothing about what was in the package.
09:09At 723, he makes this phone call to his wife.
09:11Yes, I'll accept the charges.
09:13Val.
09:14Hey, babe.
09:15Val, listen to me.
09:16Remember what we talked about last time you visited?
09:19I remember.
09:20It's going down today.
09:21You and Jerry get out of the house now.
09:23Brady.
09:23There's no time to talk.
09:24Just go.
09:25Everything's going to be all right.
09:27Give Jerry to kiss my dad, okay?
09:28I love you.
09:29I love you too.
09:31Bye.
09:32Brady was killed 45 minutes after those two phone calls.
09:35Yeah, but we don't have a why or a who.
09:37Or a how.
09:38It's related to your mystery package.
09:39Warden have any suspects?
09:41A whole prison yard full.
09:42He was shanked in the yard.
09:44There were no witnesses.
09:46Warden's less than optimistic about catching the killer.
09:48Brady have any peace?
09:49Apparently he was the model prisoner.
09:51Then it must have been a hit.
09:52Order from the outside.
09:53By the same guy who killed our messenger.
09:56Any luck on tracking down Brady's wife?
09:58Big fat zippo, but they left the apartment in a hurry.
10:00I pinged the cell phones, tracked the credit cards.
10:02She's off the grid.
10:03Maybe not completely.
10:04I just got off the phone with the son's school.
10:06According to the principal, Brady's kid misses class every Tuesday because he's got some
10:10kind of respiratory condition.
10:12Tomorrow's Tuesday.
10:12You get the doctor's name?
10:14It's set up on the office in the morning.
10:16I might get lucky.
10:18What you doing, mother?
10:20Working on your play?
10:22Oh, I wish I'd been bombarded with friend requests like a part-time job.
10:27And these exchanges are just ridiculous.
10:30Dot Ellison, who I have absolutely no desire to reconnect with, has just wasted 20 minutes
10:36of my life recounting the bravery of her cat passing a kidney stone.
10:42Well, it could have been worse.
10:44She could have sent you a video.
10:45Joining up with this fad was a terrible mistake.
10:48Nothing good comes from the internet.
10:49Nope.
10:51Just got another friend request.
10:52Oh, M.G.
10:53Chet Palliburn.
10:55Who's Chet Palliburn?
10:56Star athlete, class president, homecoming king.
11:00My high school sweetheart.
11:02And my first.
11:03I really didn't need to know that last part.
11:06Oh, oh, he sent a message with his request.
11:08I'm living in New York now and would love to see you.
11:11Martha, you haven't changed a bit.
11:14Oh, Chet Palliburn, can you believe it?
11:16And did you see that message?
11:19You do know that Chet's comments are based on a 20-year-old photo.
11:24Oh.
11:26Oh.
11:27Well, should I accept his friend request?
11:30I mean, the last time I laid eyes on him, I was 18, and now he sees this photo, and now this, and...
11:38What do I do?
11:40It's your call.
11:41There's always a dot under Kitty Cat's medical mysteries.
11:47Everything okay?
11:50Another dead end in the messenger case.
11:52Uniform's located the stolen car that ran him down, but CSU got buckets.
11:56No prints, no hairs.
11:58Sounding more and more like a professional hit.
11:59Yeah.
12:00What about surveillance?
12:01Any cameras around where the car was done?
12:02Nah.
12:03Our masked man knew what he was doing.
12:05Well, at least our tip on the doctor paid off.
12:06Prison Vic's wife came in with her son first thing this morning.
12:09Captain and Beck are interviewing her now.
12:13I'm going to go.
12:14I wouldn't do...
12:14Do you have any idea who killed him?
12:17We're working on it.
12:21Miss Thompson, do you know anything about a package that your husband asked his Aunt Sally to send out for him yesterday?
12:27Yeah.
12:28It was his insurance policy.
12:30He gave it to her when he went away.
12:32Insurance policy?
12:33It was proof he didn't kill the woman he went to jail for murdering.
12:36But he confessed.
12:37Well, he might have confessed, but he didn't do it.
12:39With all due respect, Mr. Thompson, half the men in prison will swear up and down they didn't do it.
12:43Do those men's wives get a package in the mail every month with $7,000 cash in it?
12:49Uh, your husband confessed to a murder he didn't commit for money?
12:52I know this will sound crazy, but we didn't know what else to do.
12:56Jarrett was born with a rare respiratory disease, and we didn't have the money or the insurance to get him the therapy he needed.
13:01If Brady hadn't done what he did, Jarrett wouldn't even be alive right now.
13:06Did Brady ever tell you who actually committed the murder he went away for?
13:09No.
13:09I don't even know if he knew who it was.
13:12Over ten years, you never asked who his contact was, who approached him, who was paying you.
13:16You just conveniently never bothered to ask.
13:17I asked!
13:18But Brady felt that the less I knew, the safer I would be.
13:21Even the packages didn't have a return address.
13:24Look, Captain, my husband was just killed.
13:28I'm telling you all I know.
13:31Okay, so what we know so far is that about four months ago, the payments to Brady started arriving late, short, and then finally, not at all.
13:40And according to the wife, that's when Brady decided to messenger over his insurance policy.
13:45That was supposed to prove his innocence.
13:47Well, Patsy, Brady had to be in communication with whoever was making payments.
13:50Prison should have a record of everyone Brady talked to.
13:52We already checked his phone logs. There's nothing there.
13:54How about email?
13:55We're running it down.
13:56Well, whatever Brady said, it worked.
13:58Payments started up again, then a month ago, nothing.
14:00I think maybe Brady got fed up with the situation.
14:03Figured if whoever he made the deal with wasn't holding up their end of the bargain, why was he?
14:06Then he calls up his Aunt Sally, asks her to send the evidence that proves his innocence to the arresting officer.
14:11Is it possible someone was monitoring his calls?
14:13I mean, whoever killed our bike messenger had to have been tipped off. The package was in motion.
14:16The only people that monitor the calls are prison staff.
14:19$7,000 a month for 10 years is almost a million total.
14:22Whoever we're dealing with obviously has the means to buy somebody off.
14:25Get the duty roster from the prison. See who was working when Brady made his calls.
14:28Set up a protection detail for the wife and the kid.
14:31It's already done, sir.
14:39Captain, you had the confessions, the evidence. Anyone would have come to the same conclusion.
14:43I didn't push hard enough.
14:45I knew this case was off. Everything just fell into place so perfectly.
14:48Now what have we got?
14:49An innocent bystander with no connection to the killer.
14:52And without physical evidence, there's no way of tracking who was driving that car.
14:55And catching a break on a prison murder.
14:57That's a long shot, especially if you're dealing with a corrupt guard.
14:59Okay, but we still have the original murder from 10 years ago. Everything started there.
15:03Two fresh bodies and you want to look at a murder 10 years cold.
15:06Uh, when I'm writing a story, the beginning is always the hardest.
15:11But if you nail that, the rest of it could just fall into place.
15:15Castle, this is not one of your books.
15:16No, but it is a mystery.
15:18And all mysteries are the same.
15:20Motive, opportunity, cover-up, conscience.
15:23These murders today were to cover up one 10 years ago.
15:26That's where your leads are going to be.
15:27Come on, Captain, what do you say?
15:29Let's take a little trip down memory lane.
15:33Olivia DeBiasi, 20 years old.
15:35Neighbors found her bludgeoned to death in her apartment.
15:38Well, there's some things missing from her apartment.
15:40Whoever killed her tried to make it look like a robbery gone wrong.
15:42There should be something in there about a handyman if we looked at for it.
15:45But, you know, he had a criminal record.
15:47He's worked in the building.
15:48If it was him, I'm in the wrong line of work.
15:50$7,000 a month for a handyman?
15:52We moved off him once we moved on Brady.
15:54An anonymous tip came in.
15:55It felt like a break at the time.
15:57Brought him in, leaned on him for, what, maybe a half hour before he broke?
16:01You know, it's funny.
16:01I never actually even looked at some of these reports.
16:03Because once the canvassing detectives turned him in,
16:05we already had Brady in custody.
16:07Well, it says here that Olivia went to a party earlier the night she was killed.
16:10It says here, the Pearson Club.
16:12Pearson Club?
16:13That's high society.
16:14That's creme de la creme.
16:16My money goes in banks.
16:17Their money buys banks.
16:18Sir, listen to this.
16:20A waitress gave a statement saying that she saw Olivia having a heated argument with a man at the party.
16:25The blood thickens.
16:26Mm-hmm.
16:26There's no name, but according to the description she gave, he was in his mid-20s,
16:29medium build, wearing a blue blazer and an orange striped tie.
16:32Ooh.
16:33I don't know about you guys, but I am getting a delicious millionaire playboy vibe here.
16:37A waitress was under the impression that he arrived with Olivia.
16:39Olivia's best friend was a gal that she worked with.
16:41Maybe she could tell us who Olivia hung out with.
16:44Perlmutter just finished reviewing Olivia's autopsy report from back in the day.
16:48He says he found something.
16:49You guys take tomorrow.
16:50I'll follow up on Olivia's friend.
16:51Thank you, sir.
16:54I've gone through Ms. Debbie Oste's files, and her autopsy was fairly limited.
16:58I assume when Brady confessed, the Emmy decided not to be thorough.
17:02Did he miss something?
17:03It's hard to say.
17:04What does your gut tell you?
17:05My gut tells me I'm hungry, but I'm not going to be able to eat until I'm done with the two of you,
17:10so why don't I just tell you what my keen Emmy training tells me?
17:13All right, Brady said he hit Olivia with a baseball bat.
17:17But look at these.
17:19When I look at these wounds and the skull fracture pattern, I'm just not seeing a baseball bat strike.
17:24Brady lied about killing her.
17:25He might have lied about what was used to do it.
17:28Can you determine how she was killed?
17:30I'd only be speculating.
17:31To do it properly, I'd have to x-ray the skull and examine the remains.
17:34You want to exhume the body?
17:36The only way to do it right.
17:37Plus, who knows what else I might find.
17:39Olivia was raised by a single mom who's deceased as well,
17:42so let me call the next to kin and see what I can do.
17:46Excuse me.
17:48Beckett.
17:49You sure it's sanitary to be eating here?
17:52You know the strength of the disinfectants we use here?
17:55This is the cleanest room in the city.
17:58I couldn't.
17:59Homemade.
18:00I couldn't.
18:01Caught a break.
18:02Captain, talk to the friend.
18:04Does she remember who Olivia was with?
18:05Jeff Dillahunt, who's had his fair share of run-ins with the law,
18:08and he has a trust fund worth millions.
18:10You don't have to pay $7,000 a month.
18:13Bingo.
18:13Booyah.
18:15I met Olivia at a nightclub.
18:18She hadn't been in town long, but she seemed like a real party girl.
18:22Were the two of you dating?
18:24No, just friends.
18:27What, can't a guy and a girl just be friends?
18:29Please.
18:30Are you two together?
18:32Not yet.
18:32Why not?
18:36Look, it was no big deal.
18:38I happened to mention that a school friend of mine was having a family reunion here at
18:42the Pearson Club and asked me to stop by.
18:45Olivia really wanted to come, so I took her.
18:47Who would want to go to someone else's family reunion?
18:50Well, I suppose that all depends on the family.
18:52In this case, it happened to be the Wellesleys.
18:55The Wellesleys Wellesleys?
18:57The rich and powerful Wellesleys?
18:59The conservative New York Wellesleys?
19:01Wasn't that one of our senators?
19:02Yeah, he was.
19:04Senator Casper Wellesley.
19:05He died early 90s.
19:06His kid's running for a seat again this year.
19:08I'll tell you what.
19:09Next time I'm invited, I'll take you.
19:12Mr. Dillahunt, where were you between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. the night that she was killed?
19:17Okay, well, a couple of Wellesley cousins and I bailed early and went clubbing.
19:23I believe there may have been Bolivian marching powder involved.
19:26We got picked up for public intoxication.
19:29My father got the charges dropped, but there's still a record of our arrest.
19:34If you can't find it, I have a framed copy at home.
19:38Did you have an argument with Olivia that night?
19:41Or see anyone else who did?
19:42No.
19:43A witness saw Olivia having it out with a man in a blue blazer and an orange striped tie.
19:48Do you remember anyone who fit that description?
19:51Actually, I do.
19:52All Wellesley family events have a strict dress code.
19:56The blazers are standard, but Lanann Wellesley, the family matriarch, handpicks the men's ties.
20:05Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
20:07Yep.
20:08We got a hell of a lot of suspects.
20:10Yes, Chief.
20:13Now, I know Chief.
20:15As soon as I possibly can, Chief.
20:19They cut our staff 20%.
20:21They get upset when our closure rate drops 3%.
20:23You ask me, we're working miracles to do what we're doing.
20:25Sir, we can do this later if you have a higher priority.
20:27Never let the job get in the way of the job.
20:30Where were we?
20:31Well, Braden and his contact communicated through a dummy email account.
20:34We tried to trace the address, but it was a dead end.
20:36Where are we with reviewing the guards?
20:38Nowhere.
20:39Warden refuses to provide us with a duty roster.
20:41Said he was offended.
20:42We assumed one of his men was dirty.
20:44Wanted to handle it in-house.
20:45Yeah?
20:46Well, that doesn't work for me.
20:48Do any of these men look like the one that you saw arguing with Olivia the night of the party?
20:52Look, it was a stupid waitress job 10 years ago.
20:55Do you remember what you were doing 10 years ago?
20:57Can you recall any details?
20:59Was he wearing glasses?
21:00Did he have a tattoo?
21:01All I know is that the man was yelling at the girl.
21:03He got so riled up, he spilled his wine.
21:05And I ended up cleaning it off the carpet.
21:08Did he spill any on himself?
21:09I don't know.
21:10Maybe.
21:16Him.
21:19Trent Wellesley.
21:21I'm Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD.
21:22I need to have a word.
21:23Yes.
21:24My old friend Jeff said I might be hearing from you.
21:27Police.
21:28Are they the police?
21:29Yes, grandmother.
21:29My ring was stolen.
21:32Oh, oh, they're not here for you, grandmother.
21:35My ring was stolen.
21:37It's expensive.
21:38Trent, perhaps you should take this conversation elsewhere.
21:41Of course, Frank.
21:43She gets a little confused sometimes.
21:44Okay, let's get this over with.
21:51It was me.
21:52It was you?
21:53What?
21:53I was the one who had the argument with the girl that Jeff brought to the reunion that night.
21:57The girl who was killed.
21:58I didn't care for her behavior, so I asked her to leave.
22:02Girls like that hang around families like mine for a reason.
22:06They want something.
22:07Jeff brought her as his plus one.
22:09But he had left by then, and she stayed.
22:13She tried to chat up more than one of my relatives.
22:15Anyone in particular?
22:16You're barking up the wrong tree.
22:18No one in my family had anything to do with what happened to her.
22:21Someone paid almost a million dollars to cover up her murder.
22:25That makes everyone in your family a suspect, including you.
22:29Trust me, if I had that kind of money to throw around, I wouldn't be here sucking up to the old lady.
22:34Nice.
22:35You think I'm rich because my last name's Wellesley.
22:38But my dad died when I was a kid.
22:41Mom and me had to pretty much survive off the handouts of relatives.
22:44Well, I suppose getting a job would be out of the question.
22:46Who are you protecting?
22:47You already admitted to arguing with her.
22:48It really does not look good.
22:51You have to understand.
22:54He's like the only father I have.
22:56Who are you talking about, Trent?
22:58My Uncle Winston.
23:00He'd just been through a bad breakup, and he's the kind of person that people try to take advantage of.
23:05People like who?
23:06So, Olivia or poor relations looking for a handout?
23:10I'd seen her with him before.
23:16Yes.
23:17It's terrible what happened to that poor girl.
23:19Could you tell us about the kind of relationship you had with her, Mr. Wellesley?
23:23Was the reunion the first time that you two met?
23:25Actually, I believe I met Olivia at a cocktail party a few weeks before that.
23:31Was it MoMA?
23:32I don't recall.
23:33Anyway, I took a shine to her.
23:37Charming, ambitious, rough around the edges.
23:39But I felt I could mentor her.
23:41And by mentor, you mean?
23:44What are you suggesting?
23:45Your nephew Trent said that he saw her hitting on you the whole night.
23:48Well, that's Trent for you.
23:50He's always been very protective of the family.
23:54Where were you between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. on the night she was murdered?
23:57Are you seriously asking me, Winston Wellesley, for an alibi?
24:04Apparently you are.
24:05Fine.
24:06I was home.
24:07Can anyone corroborate that?
24:08Yes.
24:09God.
24:11Mr. Wellesley, your car is ready.
24:13As delightful as this conversation has been, I must take my leave.
24:20I have to meet my brother at his campaign headquarters.
24:22Ah, yes.
24:23Blake Wellesley running for Senate again.
24:25Mm-hmm.
24:26And we'd appreciate your support.
24:28Don't forget to vote.
24:33I have no doubt he was having an affair with Olivia.
24:36But why would he kill her?
24:37Do you think maybe he was upset that she came with someone else?
24:40Hmm.
24:41Jealousy, money, murder.
24:42Does it get any better than this?
24:44You want to exhume my niece's body?
24:47We believe that there was evidence overlooked during the autopsy that could lead to her killer.
24:52Well, you told me you caught the man.
24:54You told me it was over.
24:56I thought it was, but whoever killed Olivia just murdered two more people.
25:01Your niece deserves justice, and so do they.
25:04She was such a special girl.
25:07She quit school to take care of her mother when the cancer got bad.
25:13That says a lot about her.
25:15After her mother passed, it was like she had to get away.
25:20When she moved to the city, I was just so happy for her.
25:24But then...
25:26You'll bury her back the way she was?
25:34Of course.
25:38At least she had the funeral she deserved.
25:41Thank God for Mr. Wellesley.
25:44Mr. Wellesley?
25:45The man who paid for everything.
25:47Which Mr. Wellesley was that?
25:51Winston Wellesley.
25:53Paid for her funeral?
25:55Did anyone say guilty conscience?
25:56Yeah.
25:57Hey, Esposito, run down Winston Wellesley's alibi.
26:00Talk to doorman chauffeurs the whole gamut.
26:02See what I can do.
26:04Prison duty roster.
26:05How'd you pull it off, sir?
26:06They didn't make me captive just because I look good behind a desk.
26:09Run all the guards on that roster.
26:10Look for anything out of the ordinary.
26:12Sir, I'm going to call the cemetery to make arrangements to exhume the body tomorrow.
26:15You know what I don't get?
26:17Whoever is behind this, why'd he stop paying Brady?
26:20These Wellesley's have plenty of money.
26:21If the money hadn't stopped, Brady never would have set off this triggering domino that started all this.
26:25Let me let you in on a little secret.
26:26You know how rich people stay rich?
26:28They are cheap.
26:29Why pay for Brady for the rest of his life when you can kill him for a fraction of the price?
26:33Then why would he wait ten years?
26:34Something changed.
26:35Something must have happened.
26:37Yeah.
26:37Captain Montgomery.
26:39Blake Wellesley.
26:41Hate to bother you, but do you have a minute to chat?
26:42I speak for the entire Wellesley family when I say you can expect our full cooperation in this investigation.
26:50But?
26:51You can tell.
26:51There's a but coming.
26:52Not a but.
26:53However, like I said, we'll cooperate.
26:56However, we request that these unannounced interviews come to a stop.
27:00Here we go.
27:01Beckett.
27:02Let's hear him out.
27:04I apologize if I'm coming off like one of those guys, detective.
27:06It's just that these impromptu visits are a bit awkward.
27:11My nephew Trent said you spoke to him when he visited my mother.
27:13Mother became very confused.
27:15Very upset.
27:17I'm sure there's a better way to facilitate this.
27:19Like what?
27:20I propose that all further interviews be coordinated by me and conducted at my offices.
27:26What do you think?
27:28Thank you for your offer, Mr. Wellesley.
27:29It's very nice of you.
27:31Not at all.
27:32I'll give you my number.
27:33Hold on.
27:34I, too, have a however.
27:37Thank you for your offer, however.
27:39My detectives will conduct their investigation in any manner they see fit.
27:43Captain, I can get the commissioner on the phone in under a minute.
27:47But tell him I said hi.
27:48And I really could use raise.
27:53I think we're done here.
28:02That was awesome.
28:04Whatever you guys are doing, keep doing it.
28:05They're circling the wagons.
28:09Awesome.
28:12Ignore.
28:13Accept.
28:18Accept.
28:19No.
28:23Oh, mother.
28:25Come on.
28:26Accept the man's friend request already.
28:28Using that old photo was a horrible idea.
28:30Why didn't you stop me?
28:31Since when have I had the power to stop you from doing anything?
28:34What will Chet think if he expects 1980s Martha and present-day Martha shows up?
28:40You tell anyone I said this and I'll deny it and I'm only going to say it once.
28:431980s Martha was pretty great.
28:45But present-day Martha is pretty spectacular, too.
28:56Did you just accept that?
28:57Yeah.
28:57Well, take it back.
28:59I'm sorry.
28:59I cannot.
29:00Oh, God.
29:01No, but since it's done, why don't you take a visit to Chet's page and see what he looks
29:04like nowadays?
29:05Ah.
29:07Uh, just like this?
29:08Press that?
29:09Oh, good.
29:11Well, that's Chet, but how old is that photo?
29:15Turnabout is fair play, mother.
29:20Chet Palabra?
29:21What are you thinking, man?
29:23City workers brought the coffin in an hour ago.
29:26All right.
29:27Winston didn't spare any pennies with this box of wood.
29:29This is the Bentley of caskets.
29:31Shopping ahead?
29:32Research.
29:33Derek Storm in Storm Warning finds a murder weapon buried in a coffin a year before the
29:38murder occurs, of course.
29:39Who am I talking to?
29:40You know this.
29:41Back in the nonfiction section, we have a real casket that's been sealed for 10 years,
29:47so there's going to be some serious decomposition.
29:49When I crack this open, expect the foulest of foul stenches.
29:58Set?
29:59Okay.
29:59Yeah.
30:02Okay.
30:03Is the body missing, or did you just pull off an awesome magic trick?
30:20You are amazing, sir.
30:25Nope.
30:26No prints.
30:27Whoever removed Olivia's remains was careful.
30:30How do these people manage to stay one step ahead of us?
30:32Olivia's aunt said it was an open casket funeral, so her body must have been in here at one
30:37point.
30:38The mortuary company must have switched out the bodies between the funeral and the burial.
30:41Yeah, but the company's out of business, so there's no way of finding out.
30:45Winston had to have paid to get rid of the body, just in case Brady ever wanted to come clean
30:48with the police.
30:48Mm-hmm.
30:49Looks like it.
30:49This guy's got contingency plans for his contingency plans.
30:52Feels like we're battling a supervillain.
30:54Excuse me.
30:55Dynamic duo.
30:57What am I doing with this?
30:58Well, it depends.
31:00What can you get for a second-end casket these days?
31:02I'll call Olivia's family and find out what they want to do.
31:05Seriously, though?
31:06I wonder what you could get for a slightly used coffin.
31:08That thing is top of the line.
31:10Did you check the drawer?
31:11What drawer?
31:12High-end coffins often have a small drawer hidden somewhere in the lid.
31:16That way families can place more mentors in there, or psychotic killers can hide evidence.
31:29All right.
31:38Nothing suspicious.
31:39It's just a bunch of family photographs.
31:42What does that button say?
31:43Looks like a political button.
31:44Edna Dubiasi.
31:49Isn't Edna Dubiasi Olivia's mother?
31:53Let me borrow your magnifying glass.
31:55I don't have a magnifying glass.
31:57Isn't that standard issue for detectives?
31:59No.
31:59Not since Sherlock Holmes.
32:00You can use mine.
32:03Of course.
32:04Mm-hmm.
32:09Casper Wellesley, Senate 78.
32:12Olivia's mother worked on the campaign.
32:17All roads lead to Wellesley.
32:19Are you looking at porn?
32:21I used Ryan's computer for that.
32:22I've been searching a periodical database.
32:23Look what I found.
32:24In this article, it talks about how during his 1970s Senate run, Casper had his sons,
32:28Blake and Winston, heading up his campaign headquarters in Ithaca.
32:31Where Olivia's mom worked.
32:33She and Winston had to have crossed paths.
32:35Exactly.
32:36Now, why would Winston keep that from us?
32:39Hmm.
32:44We ran all the guards' names off that duty roster you got us from Brady's prison.
32:48He's the only one that red flagged.
32:49Name's Patterson.
32:51Made a deposit last month for $5,000 cash.
32:54Then the day Brady was killed, he makes another deposit in cash.
32:58This time for $10,000.
32:59So, if it was anything I hate, it's a dirtbag in uniform.
33:02So, where you guys at with Winston Wellesley's alibi?
33:04We have a few leads.
33:06Keep pushing on that.
33:07I'll push on this.
33:13Mr. Wellesley, we are going to find out the truth.
33:15And the amount of dust that we kick up doing that is entirely up to you.
33:19I do seem to recall making her acquaintance.
33:23You're telling us half-truths again.
33:26We already know that you paid for Olivia's funeral.
33:28We know that you knew her mom.
33:29Either you start telling me the truth,
33:31or you're going to spend the last few weeks of your brother's campaign
33:33issuing denials after I release what I know to the press.
33:36Fine.
33:37I knew her mother.
33:40After her mother passed, Olivia set about to unravel the mystery of her origins.
33:47Olivia was clever.
33:48She put together clues, found out her father was a Wellesley.
33:53A Wellesley.
33:55And?
33:59Actually, the truth is, I'm Olivia's father.
34:03I know.
34:04I had the same look on my face when Olivia told me ten years ago.
34:08And Olivia's mother didn't tell you?
34:10Hmm.
34:11Didn't tell Olivia either.
34:12I was just on the verge of telling everyone when she...
34:15She was tragically killed.
34:19It is a tragedy when a father kills his daughter, isn't it?
34:22What?
34:23What do you know about Olivia's missing body?
34:26Nothing.
34:28That's obscene.
34:29Who would do something like that?
34:31You.
34:31So no one would ever find out the truth of who she really was.
34:34I didn't kill her, and I certainly didn't hide her body.
34:39Yet, ten years after her death, you're still trying to hide her existence.
34:43Well, you have to understand, I have a family to protect.
34:47Olivia was family.
34:52Hmm.
34:52Winston Wellesley?
34:54You did it.
34:55He might have, but we don't have the evidence to prove it.
34:58That's because he didn't.
34:59We were able to verify Winston's alibi.
35:02He really was home alone.
35:04Oh, he was home, but he wasn't alone.
35:07Winston had some romantic company that night.
35:09Well, then if he had an alibi, why didn't he just say so from the start?
35:11Maybe because of who his romantic company was.
35:14Stanley Jenkins.
35:16Is Stanley a unisex name now, or is Winston gay?
35:20Uh, yeah.
35:21He's gay.
35:22He lied to us.
35:23Who is he protecting?
35:25Well, he said it himself.
35:26You have to understand that this young woman, Olivia, I hardly knew her.
35:35Maybe I shook her hand at the party, but that's all.
35:37And now you're telling me her mother and I worked the same campaign 30 years ago?
35:41You and your brother were in Ithaca July and August of 78.
35:44Olivia was born May 79.
35:46That's nine months later.
35:47Your brother claimed paternity, but I think we all know that's highly unlikely.
35:52Winston, what the hell is going on here?
35:54Blake, it's time to get the lawyers involved.
35:56What did you know about this, Winston?
35:58This is not the time or the place.
36:03I never saw Edna after that summer.
36:05She never told me anything.
36:06So you admit to sleeping with her?
36:08She must have not wanted to rock the boat, hurt my father's campaign with a scandal involving his son.
36:13Blake, you've said enough.
36:15I just found out I had a daughter I never knew about.
36:17A daughter who was murdered and whose killer apparently is still at large.
36:21Why did you tell the police you were her father?
36:23Why?
36:24Actually, the question is, why did he tell Olivia that ten years ago?
36:31You have to understand, Blake, this was during the first Senate run.
36:35Scandal would have killed the campaign.
36:37I lost the damn election anyway.
36:38You had no right to make that decision without me.
36:40You're only looking out for your best interests.
36:42We?
36:44Winston, who is we?
36:46Mother, do you remember Olivia?
36:54Olivia de Biase.
36:56Of course I do.
36:57I have my mind.
36:59Mrs. Wellesley, we need to ask...
37:00Who are you?
37:02Blake.
37:03That's not Olivia.
37:05Yes, Mother.
37:06This is a police detective investigating.
37:07Oh, yes.
37:09My ring was stolen.
37:11It was very expensive.
37:13Yes, ma'am.
37:14But before we can deal with that, we need to ask you a few questions about Olivia de Biase.
37:19Oh, Olivia.
37:21Came to me looking for a father, so I gave her Winston.
37:26Well, Charles would go a long way to butch up his image.
37:29But she was my daughter, Mother.
37:33You were too special.
37:36You're going to be a senator.
37:37Maybe even president someday.
37:40Mrs. Wellesley, what happened to Olivia the night of her murder?
37:44Ooh, so many questions about...
37:47I don't care for questions.
37:49Olivia questioned me.
37:51Oh, the gall of that girl.
37:53Mr. Wellesley, your mother is ill.
37:55She can't handle this...
37:56Oh, shut it, Frank.
37:58I can handle anything.
37:59It's dangerous for her to get this riled up.
38:02I'm getting her medication from the car.
38:06What does any of this have to do with my stolen ring?
38:12Mother, did you go to Olivia's apartment that night?
38:15Well, she crossed me.
38:17Had to be stopped.
38:18What did you do, Mother?
38:23Mrs. Wellesley, did you kill Olivia de Biase?
38:29Kill her?
38:31Why would I kill her?
38:34No.
38:35I said take care of it, and it was taken care of.
38:45And who did you ask to take care of it?
38:47Well, well, well, if it isn't Frank Davis.
38:49Sorry, pal, I got the wrong guy.
38:51I don't think so, pal.
38:53I just spent the better part of the day sweating a guard named Patterson who works in the prison
38:56where Brady Thompson was killed.
38:58I don't know any Brady Thompson, and I don't know any Patterson.
39:01That's funny, because he knows you.
39:03Said that you paid him to monitor Brady Thompson's calls about a package.
39:06Nope.
39:07No, no, no.
39:07Said that you paid him to have a life or put a shiv in Brady Thompson's back.
39:13Now you tell me how I got the wrong guy.
39:15Cuffs.
39:18So Frank was the family hitman?
39:20More like the family fixer.
39:21He cleaned up all types of dirt for Senator Wellesley back in the day.
39:23He knows where all the bodies are buried.
39:25And which ones needed to be dug up?
39:27And then after he got rid of Olivia, when Mrs. Wellesley's orders,
39:29he called around all his low-life connections
39:31until he found someone desperate enough to cut a deal.
39:33Then why after 10 years would he suddenly stop paying Brady to do his jail time?
39:36When Mrs. Wellesley lost her faculties, Blake was granted power of attorney.
39:39Frank couldn't get the money to make the payments anymore.
39:42So he stopped figuring Brady would just disappear?
39:44And when he found out Brady had evidence to prove his innocence, Frank panicked.
39:47He stole Mrs. Wellesley's ring and hocked it to finance his plan
39:50to shut Brady up permanently.
39:52By the way, took a look at the precinct's numbers.
39:55Three closed cases puts us just over the mandated case closure rate
39:58right in time for the review tomorrow.
39:59You know what's even better than that?
40:01After 10 years, I can call Olivia Zand and tell her that we really got the guy.
40:05Finally.
40:06And you get to give the messenger's sister some closure, too.
40:15Mm-hmm.
40:17No, I don't suppose having answers makes it any easier.
40:20It does.
40:21In time.
40:22I can't believe how many lives were ruined over one woman's need to protect her family's reputation.
40:48You will never have this problem between Grams and myself.
40:52Our family reputation's already in ruins.
40:53Mm.
40:54Lucky me.
40:55Yeah.
40:56What's going to happen to Brady's son?
40:57Well, there's a silver lining there.
40:59When Blake Wellesley found out why Brady sold his freedom,
41:02he pledged $20 million to a local kids' charity who agreed to handle Brady's son's care.
41:07Mm.
41:07That's so sweet.
41:08And wow.
41:09Looking good, Grams.
41:13Hot date.
41:14Dining and dancing with Chet Palabern.
41:17What if he turns out to be bloated and ugly?
41:20Oh.
41:21How superficial do you think I am?
41:24Intensely.
41:25Mother, what is going on?
41:26Present day Martha is going on.
41:29I've had filthy stinking rich.
41:31I've had broke dirt poor.
41:33And you know what I want now?
41:36Fun.
41:37Just fun.
41:38And if you aren't what Chet's expecting?
41:42Oh, please, darling.
41:43Look at me.
41:45Come on.
41:46Doesn't get any better than that.
41:49Don't wait up for me, kids.
41:53Mama's on the prowl.
41:57Oh, that poor bastard.
42:00Is insanity inherited?
42:01Come on.
