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? I'm Rick Castle Castle Castle

00:10I really am ruggedly handsome. I every writer needs inspiration, and I found mine detective Kate Beckett Beckett Beckett

00:17Nikki Heath the character he's basing on you and thanks to my friendship with the mayor

00:20I get to be on her case. I'd be happy to let you spank me together. We catch killers

00:25Make a pretty good team, you know, like Starsky and Hutch. Turner and Hooch. You do remind me a little of Hooch

00:47Chef chef check his pulse

00:55What broke? Stupid glass. Remind me to get smarter glasses. Somehow I feel that the glass is not quite the problem

01:02I got invited to the Hamptons with Lacey's family and a couple other friends. Well, it sounds like fun

01:09So why do you look like someone who just got voted off the island? AP tests are next week

01:13So I really need to study all weekend

01:15But I really want to go to the Hamptons

01:17The eternal struggle between work and play. The trick is when you grow up find work that feels like play

01:23Speaking of work

01:25Speaking of work, what are you doing up and dressed so early? Oh, no reason. Just thought I'd get an early start to my day

01:30Mm-hmm. Bye

01:38He's like that's nice

01:42All right, so um, I'll see you tomorrow night. Yeah, good. Okay. Okay

01:46What's Deming doing in our break room is there something wrong with the coffee downstairs? Well, you're the one who bought us the cappuccino machine castle

01:55Yes, but I bought it for homicide not the entire precinct. Oh

01:59What's tomorrow night? What?

02:02Oh, Tom was wondering if I wanted to get together tomorrow night

02:06Why is that a problem? Why would I have a problem with that?

02:11Excuse me

02:13Beckett

02:15Okay, you're right there

02:22The murder is at Q3

02:24This place has only been open three months. I can't even get a reservation here. I've been dying to eat here

02:28Well evidently you're not the only one. Where are we in the kitchen victim's name is balthazar wolf. He's a head chef here

02:35Big bad wolf window of kitchen or season six. I know right. Oh, man

02:39I never got to taste this four grass sandwich

02:42He was found this morning by the pastry chef spike ridden hour and one of the dishwashers one close to

02:47Oh

02:50Castle stop

02:52That do you not see the little orange cones around the body?

02:54Is that actually his hand that's the effect of ln two

03:00Commonly known as liquid nitrogen a cryogenic refrigerant

03:04Instantly freezes anything it comes in touch with including mr

03:07Wolf made him fragile as glass

03:09This is both literally and figuratively cool

03:14Wolf was a follower of molecular gastronomy. It's using the science to manipulate the

03:19Then you don't care. It's usually pretty safe unless someone dumps it on you time of death

03:28Well, all our normal indicators are contaminated by the ln two

03:34I'll see what I can do once I get to the morgue, but we're gonna have to

03:39Let them thaw a bit before we can move them. Looks like there was a struggle

03:43Robbery no no sign of forced entry nothing's missing according to mr

03:47Ridenour and mr

03:48Costa here our victim stayed at the restaurant long after everyone else left what time was that?

03:53It was around 11 one of our clients and special ordered a cake and we'll stay behind to finish it up

03:58Aren't you the pastry chef? Yeah, but I don't do crazy stuff like wolf does

04:01I just uh

04:02I made the cushion and he sculpted the crown the heart and the jewels

04:06But that's probably why he had the rotary evaporator out and the liquid nitrogen

04:09All right after Perlmutter gets the body out

04:11I'm gonna want CSU to come in and sweep for fibers and prints. Yeah, yeah. Yo Beckett

04:15The owner's here

04:16Taylor's been an accident

04:17Madison

04:20Bex what are you doing here? I'm a homicide detective shut the front door. I know

04:28I know right what a messed up way for us to reconnect. Madison keller. This is richard castle. Hi. Hi, please call me rick

04:35How do you two know each other? High school ninth grade french. I can't believe the biggest scoff lads died became a cop

04:42Yeah

04:44So I'm gonna need contact information for all the restaurant staff come on bex you think somebody here might have done it

04:50You know no forced entry usually means that the killer either knew the chef or was someone who had keys

04:54So I'm gonna need alibis from everyone including you. Sorry. No, no

04:58I uh, I understand

05:00I was at a party until the wee hours

05:02Lots of people saw me

05:03Maddie, do you know if wolf had any enemies anyone that wanted to do him harm?

05:06He was the bad boy america loved to hate. I was a guest judge. That's how we met

05:11Seriously, you never heard of kitchen wars. Uh

05:17No, I don't really get a lot of time to watch tv this from the girl who'd spend hours watching saved by the bell reruns

05:24really

05:26What else did she spend hours doing castle real crime scene not mystery writer research time, okay?

05:32Did you notice anything unusual about wolf lately anything at all there was one thing?

05:38Wolf usually worked non-stop. I mean you can tear him away from the kitchen

05:42But for the last couple of weeks

05:44He disappear around three and come back just in time to prep at five. Did he say where he's going?

05:50No, he said it was personal. Hey guys found something

05:54Juan the dishwasher was the last one here last night. He swears he finished every single dish two dirty bowls two spoons and a soup pot

06:00Looks like wolf had some late night company

06:03It's popcorn soup. It's domingo's specialty. Domingo? Our line chef. He must have come back after everybody left

06:09That means he's the last one to have seen wolf alive. Do you have an address? Of course

06:13All right track down domingo and see why he was here so late and what he saw

06:17I'll also need the contact info for wolf's next of kin

06:20High school friend, huh? I bet she knows where all your bodies are buried. You can dig all you want castle

06:29My secrets are safe with her. How can you be sure? Because whatever she knows about me. I know worse about her

06:35We used to hang out big group of us had a good time

06:39And what's a good time? Well, if you don't know by now, I'm sure it's too late to show you one

06:44Here's wolf's emergency contact david nicolaitis wolf didn't have any real family

06:51He spent most of his childhood in and out of foster homes, which is why we're listed as next of kin

06:58My girlfriend cicely and I are about as close as it gets

07:01They were like brothers. How long did you know each other?

07:04Since our teens my dad gave him a job in a restaurant as a busboy and when he got out of juvie

07:10It didn't take long to tell that he had a real gift for food been like family ever since

07:15Did you have any enemies that you know of he had a bad boy image from the show, but he was actually sweet

07:21Winning kitchen wars must have been huge for him. How was he handling it?

07:25Yeah, he loved it the fame the fortune it was everything he ever dreamed of

07:30Except except what I think you might have had some financial troubles. What do you mean when my dad passed away

07:36A few months back. He left his restaurant to wolf and me. There's nothing fancy like q3. It was just a little diner in queens, but

07:44About two weeks ago. He came to me asking if I would buy him out

07:48I tried to talk him out of it. I even told him that I would loan him the money, but he refused

07:53in the end I gave in and

07:56Bought out his share for how much

07:5940 000. Didn't he just win a lot of money on kitchen wars? Well, he put it all into the new restaurant. I tried to tell him to

08:05hold some of it back, but

08:07He was an all-or-nothing kind of guy

08:12Jennifer wolf we've scored your dishes and although it was very close

08:17Baltazar wolf you're the winner of kitchen wars new york

08:20Look at his face

08:24Look at his face

08:26See how happy he is

08:28He had no idea in eight months he'd be dead

08:31Well, the bank has a warrant so we should have his financials in a couple of hours

08:35If he was having money troubles, we'll find out

08:37Becky

08:37Hey, how'd it go with the late night suit maker? You guys find him?

08:41Oh, we found him all right

08:43In line at the airport with five thousand dollars cash in a suitcase and a one-way ticket to ecuador

08:47Hmm nothing says i'm guilty like an attempt to flee the country

09:02The next time you decide to go all mr freeze on someone you should really clean up after yourself. We found your bowls in the sink

09:09I don't understand. We found you with a packed suitcase

09:13plane tickets to ecuador and five thousand dollars in cash

09:17That is not a crime. I have a passport which you were using to flee a murder murder

09:24Who do you think I killed your boss in the big white hat wolf?

09:29Wolf dead how mr verdugo sit down

09:34I did not kill anyone. We know you came to see him last night. Yes.

09:39I came back to the restaurant last night

09:41My sister she's in ecuador. She's very sick. She needs surgery

09:45I came to ask chef if I can go home five thousand dollars is a lot of money. Where did you get it from?

09:51Chef wolf gave it to me for my sister's operation told me it was crazy, but he insisted

09:57He said go take care of your sister

10:00Look five years. I've worked with wolf. He's my friend. I didn't kill him

10:05And he just happened to have five grand on him. Yes in this backpack

10:09Look, I promised to pay him back. He had that much money in a backpack. Yeah, he had more a lot more

10:15Look, I told him he shouldn't carry so much cash. He could get

10:20Killed

10:22There was no backpack at the scene. Maybe that angry lady stole it. Maybe she's the one who killed wolf

10:27What angry lady one of his girlfriends I left when she came when after midnight around 12 45

10:34Do you know her name? No, but she came into the restaurant all the time. Can you describe her?

10:42The kitchen staff confirms that wolf did have a backpack with him yesterday

10:46And the only reason that they noticed it is because he didn't usually carry one

10:51So domingo was telling the truth

10:53Well, just because the backpack exists doesn't mean that the rest of his story is credible

10:57Nobody's telling the truth about the money wolf's financials came in there's nothing out of the ordinary over the last six months

11:03But then bam two weeks ago withdraws all his savings from his checking account fifteen thousand dollars two weeks ago

11:10That's about the time that wolf asked his foster brother david to buy a share

11:14Yeah, as soon as that check cleared he withdrew that forty thousand dollars in cash on the day

11:18He was killed. Why would someone need forty thousand in cash? Well, nothing legal

11:23You know, madison said that he would disappear every day between three and five p.m

11:26Maybe where he went had something to do with the money

11:29Why don't you guys talk to the kitchen staff again and let's look into his credit card receipts

11:34Maybe we can figure out where he was going

11:36And where are we on the phone records?

11:38Well, the sim card was damaged from the freezing

11:40Tech seeing what they can salvage and we subpoenaed his phone records from the provider waiting on those

11:47Looks kind of sketchy to me

11:49What?

11:50That's sandra she and her husband are in every saturday

11:53Husband?

11:54Yeah

11:55Domingo hinted at a romantic relationship

11:57Which has to violate several health cards

12:01Do you remember their last name?

12:03No, no, but her information should be in the reservation book

12:07How you holding up?

12:07Huh, I'm still reeling

12:11And I have no time to grieve

12:12Wolf was a friend but like it or not

12:14I have to interview replacement chefs

12:16I still haven't found that customer slip for that cake Wolf was making

12:20And I have this charity event tomorrow night at Rocco Dispirito's

12:23If I don't show up, people will think Wolf's death means the death of Q3

12:27Hey, maybe you should come with me

12:29I could use the moral support and maybe we can catch up at all times

12:33You know, I would love to it's just I have something

12:36Something?

12:41You know, I'm available for moral support and I've been dying to try out Rocco's new place

12:45A charming rockin' tour

12:47That's just what the doctor ordered

12:48Thank you, Rick

12:50Unless that's a problem

12:51No, not a problem

12:54Oh, here it is

12:56Sandra Myers

12:57What was the exact nature of your relationship with Wolf?

13:03Food turns me on

13:05Not as a sex toy but the sensual act of cooking

13:09When I saw Wolf on Kitchen Wars, how passionate he was with his ingredients, I fell in lust

13:14My husband and I were the first through the doors when Q3 opened

13:17And when Wolf came by to check on our meal, I slipped in my number

13:20Did you always have sex in the restaurant?

13:23Well, Wolf did his best work in the kitchen

13:27Oh

13:29And your husband never suspected?

13:30When he's not working nights at the ER, he's conked out on sleeping pills

13:34I could shoot porn in my living room, he'd have no idea

13:39Are you gonna tell my husband?

13:40You're the primary suspect in a murder investigation

13:43Your husband is the least of your worries

13:45So what happened that night, Sandra?

13:47The sex turned deadly?

13:48No, there was no sex

13:50Two weeks ago, Wolf called me out of the blue to tell me we were through

13:54Two weeks?

13:55I tried calling him but he wouldn't call me back

13:57So I went to the restaurant last night to find out why

13:59And?

14:00He said he was done screwing around

14:03That it was time to grow up, turn over a new damn leaf

14:06And that clearly made you angry?

14:08Sure

14:10But I didn't kill him

14:11Mrs. Myers, you cheat on your husband on a regular basis, why should we believe you?

14:15Ask the doorman at my building, I was back before 1.30

14:19When I left the restaurant at 1.15, Wolf was alive

14:24Yo, doorman confirms Mrs. Myers' story in the hospital has Dr. Myers logged his work in the graveyard shift

14:29Well, a lying cheating wife was telling the truth

14:32Yeah, but until we figure out Wolf's time of death, she's still our best suspect

14:35Hey, so I ran down Wolf's daily disappearance

14:38His credit card records show a charge at Cafe Rex every day the last couple of weeks around 3.45

14:45Cafe Rex, that's on second in the 70s

14:49What was Wolf doing there?

14:50Why don't you guys head up and see if he was meeting with anyone?

14:54Beckett

14:56Okay, we'll be right there

14:59Come on, Perlmutter found something

15:01How's our corpicle?

15:02Thawing nicely

15:04In spite of the obvious challenges, I found enough unaffected tissue to narrow time of death to between 2 and 4 a.m

15:12Well, that knocks out both Domingo and Mrs. Myers

15:15Now, once we got him under the heat lamp, some bruising began to present

15:20First, there were significant contusions along his back and legs

15:27Wow, this looks like a pretty bad beating

15:29Did this happen the night of the murder?

15:31These bruises are at least two weeks old

15:34Bruising on the body, $40,000 in cash

15:37Sold his shares in the diner to his foster brother

15:39All within the same two-week time span

15:41I also found a fresh bruise from a blow he suffered just before he was frozen

15:46I went through the crime scene photos from CSU and the bruise pattern matches one of the objects from the kitchen

15:54Rotary evaporator

15:55It's a tool that chefs use to distill and extract flavors from

15:59And again, you don't care

16:02Yeah, we didn't find any prints on the body of the appliance

16:05But there were some partials on its shattered glass too

16:08Now the guys in the lab were able to Humpty Dumpty together a usable print

16:12Didn't match any of the restaurant employees

16:14But when they ran it through APHIS

16:16They got a hit

16:18Jennifer Wong

16:19No

16:21Who's Jennifer Wong?

16:21You knew I was using the veal

16:23So you ran straight to the butcher and bought everything he had

16:26You think I care about sabotaging you?

16:29I can cook you off the show with one hand tied behind my back

16:32You lost because you cook with your head

16:34I cook with my soul

16:38He's a liar he stole that recipe from me

16:45I swear to god if Wolf is I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch

16:52He stole that recipe from me

16:54I swear to god if Wolf is I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch

17:00Sounds like you and Mr. Wolf had quite the rivalry

17:02What about it?

17:03Oh come on

17:05Had to be difficult watching him walk away with that $100,000 prize

17:09Not to mention the publicity and fame that catapulted his career

17:12And it's not hard to believe that the resentment was building up over the past couple of months

17:15Until the pressure finally put you over the edge

17:19Wait you think I killed him?

17:21That rivalry between Wolf and me?

17:25It was just an act

17:26An act?

17:27I thought that Kitchen Wars was a reality show

17:30Emphasis on show

17:32And win or lose you want people to remember your name when it's over

17:36That's how you build your brand

17:37And who doesn't remember a great villain?

17:39Exactly

17:40Hey we made for great tv

17:42Why do you think they kept us on until the final two?

17:44But then he won

17:45Personally I was shocked that your oven roasted pork belly glaze didn't take top prize

17:49That was just

17:52Look we both won

17:54Yes Wolf got his own restaurant

17:55But I secured financing for a catering company and I'm doing great

17:59Well then if you didn't kill him maybe you can explain why we found your prints at the scene

18:03They were all over the appliance used to bludgeon Mr. Wolf to death

18:09Are you talking about the rotary evaporator?

18:12My prints are on it because it's mine

18:14I loaned it to him the day before yesterday

18:16He said he needed it to make something really special

18:18Wait you saw him the day he died?

18:20He called me early in the morning and asked to meet

18:23Was he carrying a backpack?

18:26Yeah

18:27He seemed in a rush

18:29Like he had a lot of things to do and not a lot of time to do it

18:32I gave him the evaporator and then he said he had a meeting in midtown

18:36He asked me to drop him off on my way home

18:37And where was that?

18:39The northeast corner of 47th and Lex

18:41One of those big office buildings

18:44Jennifer's employees confirmed that she had a catering job in the Hamptons

18:48And that she stayed the night

18:50Well just as well

18:52Her culinary talents would have been wasted in a prison kitchen

18:55Hey you guys

18:57I need you to check on the tenants at this address

18:59423 he's 47

19:01Apparently Wolf visited someone there the day that he died

19:04And he had the backpack with him

19:06Hey how'd things go uptown?

19:07Well we talked to every waiter, busboy and manager at Cafe Rex

19:10They remember Wolf coming in and said he sat at the same table out front

19:14But he was always alone

19:15What was he doing?

19:16Sipping tea, staring

19:18Sometimes he ordered the brioche

19:19That's right

19:19That's it

19:20Every day for the last two weeks

19:22Why would he go all the way to the Upper East Side just to sit there alone?

19:25Maybe he had a rendezvous with Destiny and it stood him up

19:28Which reminds me

19:29What color shirt do you think Madison would like on me?

19:31Going out with Beckett's old friend?

19:39That's a mistake

19:40Well Beckett didn't seem to mind

19:42Oh honey

19:43Do you want to hand me an apple?

19:44No

19:46Stop frowning Alexis or your father will freeze your face like that

19:50You didn't have to

19:51I just found out I have to study slides with a microscope for my AP chem exam

19:55I can't take a microscope to the Hamptons

19:57Well so you're cancelling your trip?

19:59Well when I'm studying I want to be on the beach with the girls

20:03And when I'm on the beach I feel guilty for not studying

20:05Well don't look at me

20:07I'm from the have your cake and eat it too school of decision making

20:10I say do both

20:11Or maybe by this weekend I'll figure out a way to take this tank of liquid nitrogen and

20:19Build it into a weather machine

20:21I'll make it rain

20:23Your friends will have to cancel their trip

20:25You won't have to choose and then we can take over the world

20:29Not helpful

20:33But evil

23:09Well Buck's never had a type

23:12She dated a guitarist in a grunge band a med student and this french guy that I'm pretty sure he was some kind of royalty

23:17Who is she seeing now?

23:19Who is she seeing now?

23:21Oh just some guy I don't see it going anywhere

23:24This food's amazing

23:31Where did you get it from?

23:33Hung's China Sea

23:35Oh get out

23:36Hung's doesn't deliver

23:37Well he delivers to me

23:39Mr. Hung had this medal

23:42A 15th century Chinese medal Ming dynasty was passed down through the generations right

23:47Last year it was stolen along with some cash and some kitchen appliances and whatnot

23:52The only thing that mattered to Mr. Hung was the medal

23:55So I got it back for him

23:57And because I delivered now so does he

24:00Really?

24:04Well then maybe I should get you to figure out why our victim was carrying a backpack full of cash

24:08Well maybe you should

24:10You know I got some guys on the street if you want I can put out the feelers see if anybody knows anything

24:14Yeah sure

24:16Excuse me detectives

24:17Hey guys

24:18Wow nice candle

24:20Come on in what'd you find

24:22Well we checked the sign and log at that building where Jennifer Wong dropped off

24:26Wolf

24:27Turns out he was seeing a guy named Simon Haim Esquire

24:30He was delivering a backpack full of cash to a lawyer

24:32Well according to Mr. Haim Wolf had the backpack in his possession

24:35But he never opened it he never mentioned the cash

24:38But he did mention your high school friend Madison

24:41Apparently Wolf wanted out of his contract

24:43He wanted to leave the restaurant and he won his investment back

24:46But the restaurant just opened why would he want to leave

24:48Creative differences

24:50But Ms. Keller refused to release him Wolf was planning to sue

24:53She built the restaurant on his reputation if he left she would have lost everything

24:59So what happens to q3 now that wolf is dead she had business insurance on him so with the payout

25:05Madison gets the restaurant free and clear

25:07Wolf's death protects her from potentially losing two million dollars in real estate appliances and fixtures

25:12Sounds like motive to me

25:23Mmm

25:25Mmm

25:27This

25:29Mmm

25:30Right

25:30Mmm, oh my god, this is

25:33This caviar parfait is delicious

25:35Trade you some of my black truffle risotto with crispy shrimp

25:39Oh, well, how could I resist?

25:42Oh, yes

25:44Mmm

25:45Oh

25:45Mmm

25:46That is good

25:48I'm sorry to interrupt

25:49Hi

25:50Becky

25:53What are you doing here?

25:54I need to ask Madison a few questions

25:56Now we'll pull up a chair

25:58Not here

25:59Downtown

26:00You realize Madison and I weren't halfway through our tasting menus when you stomped in there like the fun police

26:09What part of her being a suspect in a murder investigation do you not get?

26:13The waiter was about to come out with the duck confit on crew

26:16Rocco de Spirito's pumpkin gnocchi

26:18Not to mention the langoustine the lavender creme brulee that was coming up and don't even get me started on the wine periods

26:23I won't

26:24I'm just saying you could have been more civilized and allowed us to finish our meal

26:28Uh-uh

26:30You can watch from the observation room

26:32And now

26:34And now you're pinching me?

26:35You were just giggling over the risotto with our suspect

26:40Which was to die for by the way

26:44Okay, next time I'm hitting on a guy you like

26:47Come clean with me before I go out with him so you don't have to arrest me to break up the date

26:51Madison, that's not

26:52No, no, no, no, no, I get it

26:54You're hot for castle

26:56You want to make little castle babies

26:58Why couldn't you just be honest?

26:59Patty

26:59What?

27:00He can hear us

27:02Oh really?

27:03Yes

27:03Rick's behind the mirror?

27:05Yeah

27:06Oh, I got TV

27:11Hey there

27:12Sorry we missed the pumpkin gnocchi

27:14They're really good

27:19I have to tweet about this

27:20Madison

27:23Madison

27:23Put the phone down

27:25Sit

27:26You lied to me

27:36You knew that Wolf wanted out of Q3 and you knew that he was going to sue you

27:40You know about that?

27:41Yeah, I know about that

27:43Okay, but I didn't lie

27:44I just neglected to say anything about it

27:47Look, you know how hard it is to open a restaurant in Manhattan

27:50If word got out that Wolf was trying to leave it would have ruined me

27:54But if he dies with your insurance policy you make out just fine

27:58So what happened Maddie?

27:59Did you guys get into a fight?

28:00Did you throw something at him?

28:01Because I remember you throwing things at people when you got angry

28:04Oh come on

28:05Don't you people have rules about using personal knowledge against suspects?

28:08Maddie, you better start being straight with me

28:10Facts I didn't kill him

28:15Two weeks ago Wolf tells me he wants out of the restaurant biz

28:18Completely out of nowhere

28:20Says he's trying to change his life

28:22Now I'm thinking he's being poached

28:24So I start offering better equipment

28:26A bigger piece in the business

28:28Whatever he wants

28:29He insists he's really getting out and that I can't change his mind

28:32It was like something changed in his life

28:37No, I was gonna let him out of his contract

28:40He needed time to find a new chef

28:42But I swear Bex, I didn't kill him

28:50You don't really think she did it do you?

28:51Well until I can rule her out it doesn't matter what I think

28:54She has motive

28:55Yeah she also has an alibi which you're conveniently ignoring

28:58I'm not ignoring I'm just rechecking

29:01I asked her to stay in town in any case

29:03Yes I know I heard

29:05Everything

29:10Uh so uh selling his steaks in the restaurant

29:14A backpack full of cash

29:17That sounds like Wolf was getting ready to run

29:19Yes but from what?

29:20Hey guys

29:21Hey I'm so sorry to cut out on you earlier

29:23No worries

29:24Give me time to put the word out on your vic

29:26And?

29:28Well a guy I know runs paper for a local bookmaking ring

29:31Turns out he's a bit of a foodie

29:33He clocked Wolf doing business with the bookie at Two Bridges Barred

29:35Apparently your boy likes to bet big

29:38He was in deep with the bookie

29:39That explains the beating in the cash

29:41Does this bookie have a name?

29:43Wesley Slade

29:45Detective Beckett

29:46NYPD

29:47We're investigating the murder of Balthazar Wolf

29:49Never heard of him

29:52Really?

29:52Well given the marks on his body after the beating your boys gave him

29:55I think you have

29:57What happened?

29:57He getting too deep with you so you had to take him out?

30:00You really think I'm gonna tell my business to a cop?

30:02It's either that or you face murder charges

30:04That can't be good for business

30:09All right

30:11Let's say hypothetically that I made book for him

30:14And let's say the sake of argument that he owed

30:17A lot

30:18How much hypothetically?

30:1925,000

30:21Which maybe he couldn't pay

30:23So maybe he needed some encouragement

30:25Maybe the encouragement went too far

30:27Well maybe it was the right amount

30:29So he paid what he owed and went his merry way

30:33When?

30:33The day he died he comes with a backpack full of cash

30:36Puts 25,000 on the table

30:38And asks for his ring back

30:39His ring?

30:40What kind of ring?

30:42Diamond engagement ring

30:44Why'd you have it?

30:46Hypothetically

30:47A couple of weeks back

30:49He sent my guys to collect

30:50Didn't have the money

30:51Gave some sob story about a woman

30:53How he spent everything he had on a diamond ring

30:55So when my guys go to give him some encouragement

30:59Oh what did they find?

31:00A nice diamond ring

31:02Nice

31:02Must have set him back 10, 15 grand

31:05For my money

31:06So you guys took it for collateral?

31:08No

31:09As incentive

31:11And it worked

31:12I got my money

31:13He got his ring

31:15And he goes home alive

31:16Hypothetically

31:17An engagement ring makes perfect sense

31:23That's why he broke things off with Mrs. Myers

31:25That's why he took 15,000 out of his account two weeks ago

31:28Well then where is it?

31:30He went to the restaurant right after

31:31We didn't find it at the crime scene

31:33Unless we did find it

31:35And we just didn't know it

31:37Just straight back

31:38Thank you

31:39You remember what Spike was saying about why Wolf was staying late?

31:42Yeah he was finishing off that cake

31:50A cake

31:53With a heart-shaped mold on it

31:55He wasn't running away

32:04He was going to propose

32:06But to who and why hasn't she come forward yet?

32:09Maybe she's scared

32:10Maybe she's in danger

32:12Or maybe she killed him

32:21Who puts an engagement ring inside a cake?

32:24It's romantic

32:25Oh it's a choking hazard

32:27I swear men act as though there's some cosmic reward for crazy proposals

32:32What a woman really wants is a man down on one knee

32:36Tears in his eyes

32:37Ring in his hand

32:38My proposal to Gina was very romantic

32:41A balloon ride is lovely but not in February

32:46Her hand was shaking so much from the cold it was difficult getting that ring on

32:49It was a sign

32:53So have you decided

32:55No

33:01Again David I am so sorry for your loss

33:03Hey

33:05Shed any light?

33:07So David said that he wouldn't have believed it unless I had shown him the ring

33:12He had no idea who Wolf was proposing to

33:14And neither did anyone else in his life

33:17The guy was in love with the ghost

33:19Ooh

33:20That'd be cool if it was actually a ghost

33:22Put back through the phone logs from the restaurant and Wolf's cell

33:25Every call is a comment for

33:26What about the cafe uptown?

33:27The wait staff all checked out

33:29They're adamant the Wolf never met anybody there

33:31How do you have a relationship with somebody without leaving any evidence?

33:34Maybe the ring wasn't his

33:35Maybe he was holding it for a friend

33:37No it had to be his

33:39Look at his behavior

33:40He stopped sleeping around

33:41He was paying off his debts

33:42He sold the one thing in life he actually cared about just to get that ring back

33:46There's only one reason a man cleans up his act

33:48Yeah but murder isn't the usual response to a proposal

33:52Unless you got something to lose

33:54He did like married women

33:55All right have CSU resweep his apartment

33:58This girl spent any time there

33:59She must have left some evidence behind

34:02Hey Maddie thanks for coming

34:04I thought you said I was off the hook

34:06Yeah witnesses have you at the party until after the time of death

34:09Then why am I here?

34:11Anyone ever offered you one of these?

34:13No

34:14You?

34:16Not yet

34:17I had no idea Wolf was even serious with anyone

34:20Can you think of any girl that he was close to?

34:22Every time I saw him he was with someone different

34:26It's hard to believe he'd ever commit

34:27The guy lived his job 24-7

34:29It had to be somebody at the restaurant

34:31Not necessarily I fell in love with random women on the subway

34:34Well if you could think of anyone call me

34:36Yeah

34:36And Bex I'm sorry about lying to you

34:42And I might have come down a little harder than I needed to

34:44I fall in love with operators on the phone

34:47Even asked one out a couple years ago

34:48But she was in Bangladesh

34:51Yeah I guess I wasn't seeing you as a cop

34:54But as my friend

34:56You know the girl who stole her mom's makeup to give me a makeover

34:59The first who told me that kissing boys might involve some tongue

35:03Oh yeah

35:04I bought a falafel from the stand every day for two months

35:07So I could talk to a falafel girl

35:08Yeah you mean like Deming showing up every morning for coffee just to run into Beckett

35:11What?

35:23The one who dragged me to stand outside Brent Edwards Brownstone for hours on end

35:28Just to catch a glimpse of him through the window

35:33Through the window

35:35Wolf wasn't going to Cafe Rex to meet his girl

35:38He was watching her out the cafe window

35:39That's why there were no phone calls

35:41He was trying to gather up the courage to propose to her

35:48So that's the story with the clearest view from the cafe

35:51Either our mystery girl works here

35:54Or Wolf is really into women's clothes

35:57Maybe it's him

35:59Maybe that's Wolf's big secret

36:02That's not his secret

36:05She is

36:06That's his foster brother's girlfriend

36:08Yep

36:11Well it definitely made proposing tricky

36:21I don't understand why am I here

36:23How well did you know Wolf Cecily?

36:25He was like family

36:27So you knew him for a long time?

36:29Well 10 years ever since David's father hired me at his restaurant

36:32Did the two of you ever

36:36Why are you asking me this?

36:37Every day for the last two weeks Wolf went to Cafe Rex

36:40Which is right across the street from where you work

36:43You just sit there and look out the window

36:44Looking at you

36:45Now why would he do that?

36:47I don't know

36:48I think you do

36:49In the last two weeks Wolf made a lot of changes

36:52He'd stop sleeping around

36:54Paid off all his debts

36:55And he bought this

36:58For you

36:59What makes a man

37:00A self-professed bad boy

37:03Suddenly declare himself after 10 years

37:05Unless something changed

37:07Cecily these are your phone records

37:08Four months ago

37:10You started calling your OBGYN regularly

37:14You're pregnant

37:15It's Wolf's isn't it?

37:17No one was supposed to know

37:18It was supposed to be my secret

37:20But when David told Wolf we were pregnant

37:23Somehow he knew

37:24He

37:26He knew

37:28God you must think I'm awful

37:30It's not my job to judge

37:31I'm just here to get the truth

37:33David's father had just died

37:35So David went out of the country to bury his father in his hometown

37:38Wolf came by

37:40He held my hand and I remembered

37:43How much I'd loved him

37:45That I'd always loved him

37:46If you loved him so much why stay with David?

37:49Because David doesn't leave

37:51David doesn't sleep with every girl who walks by

37:54We have no idea how hard it is to love someone knowing they're going to break your heart

37:59If I couldn't trust him as a man how could he be a father?

38:04I had to make a choice

38:05Oh god please don't tell David

38:08Are you sure he doesn't already know?

38:10Where was he the night that Wolf was murdered?

38:12At home

38:13With me in bed

38:14All night

38:15Oh god

38:18What?

38:21I had been having trouble sleeping

38:23So David gave me a pill the kind the doctor said was okay

38:28It was the only time he's ever given me a pill

38:30Hey man

38:37Take him to the whole place

38:39Yeah lock him up

38:41Come on

38:42Let's go

38:42He's not talking

38:43Yeah but he didn't have to

38:44We found Wolf's backpack in their apartment

38:46Along with the extra cash

38:47We also found a pair of his shoes with cracked soles from the liquid nitrogen

38:51Can't imagine the betrayal he must have felt

38:52It's still not an excuse to kill

38:57You ask me

38:58She should have followed her heart

39:00Left David gone with Wolf

39:02You know I can see the virtue in staying

39:04I mean guys like Wolf they come in they upset the apple cart

39:08Of course he makes you feel alive but eventually you know he's just gonna let you down

39:13So why risk it?

39:15Because the heart wants what the heart wants

39:19Speaking of I gotta get out of here

39:23Madison?

39:24No actually with everything going on she said she didn't have time to date she didn't tell you that?

39:28So I gotta get home Alexis has a little head heart problem of her own

41:52So David killed wolf?

41:54Yeah it turns out that he intercepted a text that wolf sent cecily asking about the baby and at first he was gonna approach cecily about it

42:00Until he realized that eventually she would leave him as long as wolf was alive

42:04Wow very Cain and able

42:06Yeah so I take it that you're swamped
