00:00You kill my patients and together we catch killers. I hate this case. I know. Isn't it great?
00:06Efraja Mankowski, or simply Mank as he liked to be called, lived a fruitful life.
00:12A proud father of ten wonderful children. Mank was so very, very blessed.
00:20Who's the shiksa? I'm thinking bubblegum fantasy, or maybe frosted iron.
00:36I'm thinking tickle the toe red. It's my go-to color.
00:41Oh. You expecting someone?
00:44Gina got promotional freebies at a new spa and asked us if we wanted to go get Manny's pedis and massages.
00:49And you're going?
00:50Well, when it comes to your ex-wife, darling, perks outweigh personal considerations.
00:55Hello.
00:56You look great.
00:59Uh, am I invited?
01:01Uh, no. It's a girl's day out. I want to spend time with Martha and Alexis.
01:06Uh, but I love massages, and I don't want the three of you conspiring.
01:09Don't worry, Dad. You've got a lot of other stuff to talk about.
01:12I want to hear all about Alexis's new boyfriend from her point of view.
01:16Did you know that they have a song?
01:19You have a song?
01:19Yeah. Taylor Swift's mine. He was playing the first time Ash and I killed him.
01:22I don't want to hear that.
01:25That's why I wanted those tickets so badly.
01:27Taylor's playing an exclusive acoustic show on Tuesday, and I wanted to take Ash, but it was sold out before we could get tickets.
01:33Well, if you checked on eBay or your father's ticket broker...
01:35The only ones available would cost Ash and I six years of allowance.
01:39Uh, each.
01:40Mm-hmm.
01:40Do you remember our song?
01:43ACDC's You Shook Me All Night Long.
01:45No, no, no, no, no, I don't want to hear it!
01:46You girls have a great day, remember? It won't be the same without me.
01:51Hmm.
01:52Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:54Hmm.
01:55Looks like you have plans anyway.
01:59Don't we usually get to the victim before the funeral?
02:05What do we got?
02:07Mourners found a body in the casket.
02:09And that's unusual how?
02:11Well, the family was bidding a fine farewell to Mr. Mank here and discovered that he wasn't going to the grave alone.
02:17Is it just me or is Mr. Mank smiling?
02:19Our stowaway is Dr. Valerie Monroe, an attending internist at County Hospital.
02:25Doctor, any connection to the deceased?
02:27Ryan's talking to the family now.
02:28Cause it death?
02:29Liver failure. He drank like a fish.
02:31We may know what killed Mr. Mank, but your dead doctor here is more of a mystery.
02:37No bullet holes, stab wounds, or ligature marks.
02:40She has a perimortem bruise on the back of her neck here, but it wasn't severe enough to have been fatal.
02:47Lividity indicates she died sometime between 7 and 9 last night, but until I can perform an autopsy, cause of death is unknown.
02:53Well, what we do know is that somebody was trying to get rid of her body, along with her purse and her phone.
02:58You know, it's kind of brilliant when you think about it, disappearing a body in an already occupied coffin.
03:03And because Jewish tradition demands that you bury the body right away, there's less time to get caught.
03:07If it wasn't for the pallbearer's fumble, a good doctor would disappear forever.
03:11Alright, talk to the funeral director, see if anyone had access to this coffin in the last 24 hours.
03:15I'm telling you, I don't know her.
03:17I've never seen her before, and I have no idea how her body got in that casket.
03:21This morning when I came in, I found one of my back windows smashed.
03:24So you're saying somebody broke in here and stashed a body in one of your coffins?
03:28I called the police, but since nothing was missing, you guys didn't bother showing up.
03:32Maybe if you had, I wouldn't have Mrs. Banks out for my blood.
03:36So according to County Hospital, Dr. Monroe finished her shift at 6 p.m. last night.
03:42It was about an hour or two before she was murdered, so hopefully her colleagues will be able to tell us where she was headed.
03:49Castle stopped playing with her phone.
03:53I wasn't playing.
03:54I wasn't.
03:55The last web searches on her phone were after 6 p.m. yesterday.
03:58She was looking for a hotel in Katona, New York.
04:00I thought it might be relevant.
04:04Oh.
04:06She also has the new slot car app.
04:07So I'm thinking maybe she has friends or family in Katona, or perhaps she was planning a liaison with her lover.
04:14Her boyfriend found out and killed her in a jealous rage.
04:15Yeah, no visible marks on her body other than a small bruise on the back of her neck.
04:19That sounds like a jealous rage to me.
04:22Castle.
04:22Oh, yes.
04:24Are you getting mail here now?
04:25Only when I don't want my daughter to see it.
04:29Hello.
04:30You're a Taylor Swift fan?
04:32They're for Alexis.
04:33Oh.
04:34It cost me an arm and a leg, but Alexis would be thrilled.
04:36Apparently she and Ash have a song.
04:39Yeah, well, we have a song as well.
04:40We do?
04:41Mm-hmm.
04:41You Talk Too Much by Clarence Carter.
04:43Hey, penal director's story checked out.
04:46Somebody did break in.
04:47Did you get any foreign prints on the casket or the window?
04:49Sorry, struck out.
04:50But we may have another at-bat, Dr. Monroe's financials.
04:53And I found something unusual.
04:55Almost every morning, she bought coffee.
04:57Doctor who buys coffee?
04:58Wow, that is unusual.
04:59It is.
05:01The coffee shop is 20 blocks from her apartment.
05:04Maybe it was on her way to work?
05:05No, complete opposite direction.
05:07Boyfriend in the neighborhood?
05:08On my way to find out.
05:09Oh, great.
05:13Now he's mad at me.
05:15Beckett.
05:16I found these on the victim's clothes and hair.
05:19Gray nylon.
05:21Carpet fibers?
05:22Sent them over to the lab to see if they could determine the manufacturer.
05:25How about cause of death?
05:26Well, that's where things get a little interesting.
05:30The bruise on her head was made with a blunt object.
05:33May have knocked her out, but as I suspected, it's not what killed her.
05:37I found a needle mark on the side of her neck.
05:41She was injected with a syringe.
05:43She was poisoned?
05:44Not exactly.
05:46The killer inserted the needle of an empty syringe into Dr. Monroe's carotid artery.
05:52Then pushed the plunger, forcing air directly into the brain, causing a fatal...
05:57Air embolism.
05:57Gold star for Castle.
05:59And judging by the skill of the injection, I'd say it was done by a medical professional.
06:04Like one of her colleagues at County Hospital.
06:06Looks like someone gave her 20 cc's of death.
06:08You know, with the state of healthcare and how stressful this can be for families and for patients,
06:21I'm surprised that more medical professionals aren't killed every day.
06:25Yeah, not to mention the betrayal, the lust, the bed-hopping.
06:28I've watched enough medical dramas to know that doctors are notorious for sleeping with each other.
06:33I bet as we speak in this hospital, two doctors are in a break room doing it.
06:38And by it, I mean...
06:40I know what it means, Castle, and that is just a fantasy.
06:43Four out of five doctors prefer sleeping with someone outside of their profession.
06:46Four out of five?
06:47Mm-hmm.
06:48How many of them like detectives?
06:50One that I know of.
06:51Whoa, you mean Motorcycle Boy is a doctor?
06:54Man, Castle. Motorcycle man.
06:56Fine, but he's a doctor?
06:58Yeah, he is.
06:59What kind of doctor? Urologist?
07:03Proctologist?
07:05Don't tell me he's a gynecologist.
07:06He's a cardiac surgeon.
07:07Oh.
07:08Cardiac surgeon.
07:10Wow, that's...
07:11Impressive, yes, it is.
07:12In fact, he did an emergency bypass on someone this morning.
07:15Saved the patient's life.
07:17What'd you do this morning, Castle?
07:20I mean, waffles.
07:23A patient could be terminal and would suddenly just smile every time Dr. Monroe walked into a room.
07:28It's a huge, huge loss for us.
07:30Did she have any family?
07:31Uh, a brother, I think, in San Diego.
07:34Boyfriend?
07:35Not that she ever mentioned.
07:37She used to always say that the hospital was her family.
07:39Was there any friction with any of her colleagues?
07:42Well, yesterday, just before the end of her shift, Dr. Monroe had a private meeting with one of our nurses.
07:48Is that unusual?
07:48No, but, um, the nurse came out of the meeting looking shaken.
07:53I asked Dr. Monroe about the meeting, and she said that it was a personal situation that she was looking into and trying to solve.
08:00I'll need to speak with that nurse.
08:02Nurse McClintock.
08:03Of course.
08:04Personal situation with a nurse? You thinking what I'm thinking?
08:06Probably not.
08:07Hospital love triangle?
08:10Check it out.
08:10Our dead Dr. Monroe.
08:12She's hot and heavy with her manly McDreamy until she catches him in the on-call room with his scrubs around his ankles, shagging, naughty Nurse McClintock.
08:21Then the inevitable catfight ensues between said nurse and Dr. Monroe.
08:26Catfight to the death.
08:28Oh, that's a good title for something.
08:30Catfight to the death.
08:32How much TV do you actually watch?
08:34Enough to know that this Nurse McClintock will probably be super hot.
08:37Detective?
08:39You wanted to see me?
08:40And you are?
08:41Nurse McClintock.
08:44Care to revise your theory?
08:46Not what I was expecting, but no, I'll stand by it.
08:49Hey, Greg.
08:50Hey, Dr. Ackerman.
08:53So, what can I do for you?
08:54Well, we're here about Dr. Monroe's murder.
08:56Yeah, it's pretty awful.
08:58We understand that you had a meeting with her right before her shift ended last night?
09:01Yeah, I saw her.
09:04I love the way your hair frames your face.
09:07Do you always wear it like that?
09:08Uh, for work, yeah, but, uh, so, about Dr. Monroe?
09:13Hey, Greg.
09:14Hey, Dr. Phelps.
09:16You seem, uh, pretty popular around here.
09:19Though, from what we've heard, maybe not so much with Dr. Monroe.
09:22What did you meet with her about last night?
09:25Nothing, really.
09:26It's just, she thought I was too flirty with her female residents.
09:30Imagine that.
09:31What's wrong with being friendly?
09:33So, what happened afterwards?
09:34I walked her to the ambulance doc and promised to keep my distance from her residents.
09:39She thanked me and then headed off with some guy I'd never seen before.
09:42Hmm.
09:43So, you walked Dr. Monroe out and then conveniently saw her with some mystery man?
09:50That's what happened.
09:51Oh.
09:52Where were you last night between seven and nine?
09:53Are you asking for my alibi?
09:57Seriously?
09:57Seriously.
09:58Seriously?
09:58Seriously.
09:59Seriously?
10:00Seriously.
10:01Okay.
10:02Uh, I was getting coffee with Imani.
10:07I mean, Dr. Phelps.
10:08I...
10:08No, wait.
10:09At that time, I was with Rhonda.
10:11Dr. Chimes.
10:12You can ask her.
10:14She'll verify where I was.
10:16Dr. Rhonda Chimes, who's smoking hot, by the way, confirms his story.
10:19She went on and on about how Greg's such a great listener and brings her all these cute
10:23thinking of you gifts.
10:25Well, I knew my homicidal hospital love triangle theory had weight.
10:27That makes Greg McDreamy.
10:29See, that's what I thought.
10:30But Dr. Chimes says the relationship was strictly platonic.
10:33So, I spoke to more members of the staff and that's when I found the others.
10:38The others?
10:38The other women in what I call the Galaxy of Greg.
10:42Each one of these women orbits Greg and considers him to be their special friend.
10:48Well, that totally makes him McSteamy.
10:50Nope.
10:50Spoke with all the planets in the galaxy and none of them are sleeping with him.
10:54And CSU did a sweep at the facility.
10:56None of their carpeting matches the fibers they found from the body.
10:58No, makes no sense.
10:59Why spend all that time listening to women and buying them things if you're not going to
11:02try and sleep with them?
11:03Greg gets here.
11:05Maybe Greg is gay.
11:06The way he was hitting on me?
11:07No, he's still not gay.
11:08Well, he's working an angle or he's hiding something.
11:11He's not the only one.
11:12Our victim's student loans.
11:14Since graduating med school, Dr. Monroe has been regularly making minimum amount payments
11:18on her $440,000 student loan.
11:21That's how much it costs to become a doctor?
11:23Glad I became a cop.
11:24And without any increase in pay at the hospital, six months ago she started paying $10,000 a
11:29week.
11:29$40,000 a month?
11:31Any idea where the money was coming from?
11:33Not from a bank account.
11:34From money orders.
11:35So someone was making the payments on her behalf.
11:37Just got a fax from hospital security.
11:39They got this off the ambulance doc camera.
11:41Your boy Greg was telling the truth.
11:43Dr. Monroe did head out with another guy.
11:44Security showed this photo around, but no one recognized him.
11:46Well, whoever this man is, he might have been the last one to see Dr. Monroe live.
11:50Especially if he killed her.
11:51I'm home, and guess what I'm going to do.
12:04Dad, Gina got tickets for Taylor Swift.
12:06They're front row center and come with backstage passes.
12:08We're going to meet her.
12:10That's great.
12:11We just made a deal for her autobiography.
12:13It's no big deal.
12:14I got to call Ash.
12:15She's going to be so excited.
12:22I can't believe you did that.
12:24What?
12:25I got tickets.
12:27I mean, you didn't even call me to ask me if it was okay?
12:29I didn't imagine that you would disapprove, and Alexis was delighted.
12:32No, that's not the point.
12:33No, it's not.
12:34The point is that I was trying to do something nice for Alexis, and apparently all you can
12:40see is that I stole your hero moment.
12:43It's not.
12:45Good night.
12:49Any luck on the mystery guy?
12:50No, sir.
12:51Nothing yet.
12:52Listen, go on home.
12:52You can start fresh in the morning.
12:53No.
12:54I wouldn't leave just yet.
12:55Where you been?
12:56Getting coffee.
12:56All day?
12:57Dr. Monroe's coffee shop.
12:59Turns out it's right next to the Faircross Hotel.
13:01I showed the manager Dr. Monroe's picture.
13:04And?
13:04Pay dirt.
13:05Several nights a week, our victim was spending the night in a suite belonging to a permanent
13:08resident.
13:09One Cesar Calderon.
13:10The drug lord?
13:11Mm-hmm.
13:12Call him El Diablo, the devil.
13:14You see, Calderon was responsible for half the coke on the streets in the 80s, but he
13:17was so big no one could touch him.
13:19So what was our saint of a doctor doing spending the night with a drug lord?
13:22Nightly visits, mystery cash gifts.
13:24Sounds like Valerie Monroe was the devil's mistress.
13:29Known criminal living in a swanky hotel.
13:32Very Al Capone.
13:36Murdered mistress.
13:37A brutal Colombian drug lord.
13:39What do you think?
13:40Revenge from a rival cartel?
13:41A drug deal gone wrong?
13:43Maybe murder is simply Calderon's way of saying I'm just not that into you.
13:46I don't know.
13:47An air embolism doesn't exactly strike me like a drug lord's M.O.
13:49Unless Calderon did that on purpose, to throw suspicion towards the hospital staff when the
13:54off chance the body was found.
13:56The thing I don't get is how a respected doctor could literally get into bed with a
14:01known drug lord.
14:01Yeah.
14:02Ladies love the bad boys.
14:03Mm.
14:04Caesar El Diablo Calderon?
14:06Ultimate bad boy.
14:08I mean, who knows what kind of twisted, depraved, unholy world we're about to step into.
14:14Sir, I'm Detective Kate Beckett.
14:17This is Richard Castle.
14:18We need to speak with Caesar Calderon.
14:21I'm sorry.
14:22I think you have the wrong room.
14:23I don't know anyone named...
14:24Richard Castle?
14:26The Richard Castle?
14:27Let them come, Anolo.
14:30Let them in.
14:37Welcome.
14:39Welcome.
14:40Mr. Calderon, I'm Detective Kate Beckett.
14:42Pleasure.
14:44And you, sir, need no introduction.
14:46I am a huge admirer of your fictions.
14:50Whenever I desire a taste of my old, grittier life, I call upon your works.
14:55My favorite is Nicky Fuego.
14:58Nicky...
14:58You mean Nicky Heat?
15:00No, I mean Nicky Fuego.
15:02I only read the Spanish translations.
15:05Have you read your novels in Spanish?
15:07No.
15:07Oh, you should.
15:08Everything is better in Spanish.
15:12Please.
15:18So, a best-selling novelist and a gorgeous detective.
15:25Have come to pay me a visit.
15:29Why?
15:30We're investigating a murder.
15:31Ah, how exciting.
15:33Who's the victim?
15:34Dr. Valerie Monroe?
15:37Valerie Monroe?
15:39No.
15:42Valerie is dead?
15:43What was your relationship with Dr. Monroe?
15:45She, uh, she was my, uh, my private physician.
15:58I have a bad heart.
16:01Six months ago, I had a heart attack.
16:04My, my brother, Manuel, took me to the hospital.
16:10Valerie was there, and she took care of me.
16:14Valerie, I offered her a position as my concierge physician.
16:24Two nights a week, my brother is my caregiver.
16:28The other five, Valerie.
16:30Valerie, that explains some money.
16:33So she was just your doctor?
16:35No, she was my, my miracle worker.
16:39She gave me back my strength.
16:43Valerie forced me back into the world.
16:47She made me walk beside her.
16:51At night, sometimes we would drive into the park.
16:57Whoever did this evil must be punished.
17:00We intend to do just that, Mr. Calderon.
17:04Where were you between seven and nine last night?
17:07I was right here.
17:09Why you ordered a room service.
17:13The hotel staff can attest to that.
17:16Carpet's brown, not gray.
17:18She wasn't killed here.
17:20Do you recognize this man?
17:30No.
17:32Is he the one who killed her?
17:33All we know is that he was with her just before she died.
17:38I've seen this man before.
17:40A few times.
17:41Valerie had me drop her off at a diner by her place.
17:45This man was sometimes waiting.
17:47Do you remember the name of the diner?
17:51The wait staff said he's a lunch regular, but he hasn't been in yet today.
17:55They don't know his name.
17:57Maybe he killed Dr. Monroe and then got out of Dodge.
17:59Maybe.
18:00Let's just wait here, though.
18:00Calderon's alibi?
18:03The hotel staff confirmed it.
18:06How'd Alexis' surprise go?
18:09Turns out surprise was on me.
18:10Gina got her tickets, too.
18:12Front row, backstage access.
18:14You say that like it's a bad thing.
18:16Well, she should have checked with me first.
18:18Maybe, but at least it means she cared enough to do it, right?
18:25There he is.
18:27Excuse me, sir.
18:29NYPD.
18:29We need to ask you a few questions about Dr. Valerie Monroe.
18:33You want to talk about Valerie, call my office.
18:36If you don't cooperate, I'm going to be forced to arrest you.
18:40Hey, drop it!
18:42No, you drop it.
18:43Leonard Maloney, Attorney General's office.
18:45What the hell's going on?
18:49We're investigating the murder of Dr. Monroe.
18:52Murder?
18:52Valerie's dead?
18:54Exactly how did you know her?
18:56She was working for me.
18:58Undercover.
18:59It's like an Alfred Hitchcock movie.
19:04A beautiful professional goes undercover to trap an infamous drug lord?
19:08Drug lord?
19:08Cesar Calderon.
19:10The target of your investigation.
19:12Calderon?
19:13No.
19:14Investigation of Calderon's way above my pay grade.
19:17Besides, he's been out of the drug game for years.
19:19Then what was your target?
19:20County hospital.
19:22The state comptroller was investigating misappropriations of funds,
19:25prescription fraud, and equipment theft.
19:27Medical fraud?
19:28We couldn't find the source, so I asked Dr. Monroe to be our eyes and ears on the inside.
19:33And did she find anything?
19:35No.
19:36And then, the day before yesterday, she calls me out of the blue and wants to meet.
19:40By the ambulance, Doc.
19:42When I got there, she said she was on to something that involved prescription fraud
19:45and a possible smuggling ring.
19:48But she didn't want to point fingers until she had verified some things up north this weekend.
19:52Up north?
19:53The search is on Dr. Monroe's phone.
19:55Katona, New York.
19:56What does a smuggling ring have to do with Katona?
19:59It's basically a nothing town.
20:00Three reasons why Katona is awesome.
20:03One, gorgeous countrysides.
20:05Two, it's where Doonesbury cartoonist Gary Trudeau went to school.
20:08And three, and perhaps most importantly, it's where Martha Stewart lives.
20:11You like Martha Stewart?
20:13Doesn't everyone?
20:14Yeah, I liked her.
20:15Until she went to prison for insider trait.
20:17Wait a minute.
20:18Prison.
20:18Next to Katona is Bedford Hills.
20:21And what's in Bedford Hills, detective?
20:22There's a women's prison.
20:24Do you think she suspected someone there?
20:26If we're talking about a field trip to a women's prison, I'm in.
20:28Easy, Tiger.
20:29Listen, call the prison.
20:31Have them fax over the visitor's log for the past six months.
20:33And an inmate list.
20:34See if anyone there connects to the hospital or our victim.
20:36Okay.
20:36Uh, if we're talking about waiting through hospital staff lists and prison logs, I'm out.
20:41Besides, I've got some amends to make.
20:45And it's going to take a little bribery.
20:48Okay, Rick.
20:49I'm here.
20:50What's so important?
20:52What is this?
20:59Well, nothing says I'm an ass like a bunch of helium-filled rubber.
21:07And you're not smiling.
21:10No, it's just, uh, that I had this sick feeling all day.
21:16I felt like we'd had this fight before.
21:18And then I remembered the doll debacle.
21:21You bought a doll for Alexis for Christmas.
21:24And you already had one stashed away in the closet as a surprise.
21:27And it was a battle deciding which one she would keep.
21:29And you won.
21:31Like always.
21:33Yours was so creepy.
21:34Its eyes followed you.
21:35This is exactly what I'm talking about, Rick.
21:37Even when we were married, you built a wall around Alexis.
21:41Like you didn't want anyone else to be close to her.
21:43When it came to the two of you, I was on the outside looking in.
21:48I just, I don't want to feel like an outsider anymore.
21:54She's growing up.
21:57She has a boyfriend now.
21:59You want to know the truth?
22:05I feel like an outsider too.
22:10But you're very right.
22:12And I was wrong.
22:15And you should be the hero this time.
22:26That's me.
22:26You're sweet.
22:43Hello?
22:44Yeah.
22:45So how'd it go with the amends last night?
22:47Did bribery work?
22:48That and sincerity.
22:50Well, it's always a good combination.
22:51How goes the haystack?
22:53Any needles?
22:54More like a pitchfork.
22:55There's no record of Dr. Monroe ever visiting the prison.
22:58But the logs do show that another member of the hospital staff was making weekly visits to Bedford Hills Prison Facility.
23:04Anyone we know?
23:05Oh, yeah.
23:07Nurse Greg?
23:08Seriously?
23:08Seriously.
23:09Seriously.
23:09For the past three years, Greg has been making weekly visits to an inmate named Amy Porter,
23:14who was doing 30 years to life for her role as a getaway driver in a failed robbery where a security guard was killed.
23:20So I did a little bit of digging.
23:21And apparently, Greg was her character witness at her trial.
23:24Amy is Greg's girlfriend?
23:25Mm-hmm.
23:25Dr. Monroe was on to prescription fraud and the smuggling ring.
23:29She thought Greg was stealing meds from the hospital and smuggling them into Amy.
23:33For her to distribute on the inside.
23:34So I was right.
23:35Greg was working in Angle.
23:36He was friends with all these women, so they would help him.
23:38Probably without any of them realizing it.
23:41So I asked the prison warden to go and search Amy's cell and then bring her down here for questioning.
23:45Yo, let's go off the phone with the warden from Bedford Hills.
23:48Amy Porter suffered a stroke this morning.
23:51At 25?
23:52They sent it to the county hospital.
23:53Here?
23:53Why not bring her to a hospital a little closer to the prison?
23:56The county is the nearest hospital with a secure warden.
23:58And that's also where Greg works.
24:02Dr. Phelps?
24:03Dr. Phelps, we understand that you're treating a patient named Amy Porter?
24:06She's a prison transfer.
24:08I was.
24:08Unfortunately, she died while having an MRI.
24:10She's dead?
24:11Where's the body?
24:20Greg switched the body.
24:21This wasn't about smuggling something into jail.
24:24It was about smuggling something out.
24:26Greg pulled a prison break.
24:30A prison break?
24:32Yes, sir.
24:33We swept the hospital, but we didn't find either of them.
24:35Turns out Greg isn't McDreamy or McSteamy.
24:37He's McSkeamy.
24:38Do we know how he pulled this off?
24:39Well, sir, after reviewing the evidence and also with Dr. Parrish's expertise, we think
24:44that we figured it out.
24:45The key was forging friendships with specific doctors who could provide documents and drugs.
24:50That's why he was just friends and not sleeping with them all.
24:53He was committed to Amy the whole time.
24:55Without knowing it, every woman in the galaxy of Greg helped him with his escape plan.
24:59Signatures on death certificates, medical orders, body releases.
25:03Oh, okay, but how did he fake Amy's death?
25:06Pharmacist, Lizza Ackerman, gave Greg a container of acetylhexapeptide 3.
25:12It's a Botox-like topical cream, effective in small doses.
25:16Ackerman thought it was a gift for Greg's mother, but Greg instead smuggled it into Amy.
25:20Amy lathered half her face with it, temporarily diminishing her facial muscles' ability to contract.
25:24Assimilating a stroke.
25:25And then according to prison protocol, Amy was sent to county to receive advanced medical treatment.
25:30And like any good physician, Dr. Phelps immediately ordered an MRI.
25:35Kicking Greg's plan into high gear.
25:37Greg used his connections at the ER to get both morphine and naloxone.
25:41When he escorted Amy into the MRI, he gave her enough morphine to cause her vital signs to drop to where she had no recordable pulse.
25:48Creating the illusion of death.
25:50And since Amy had a do not resuscitate order.
25:53Courtesy of Dr. Jean.
25:55She was pronounced dead.
25:56Not wanting to waste a second, Greg wheels Amy into the morgue.
25:59And then injects her with the naloxone, bringing her out of the OD.
26:03Very pulp fiction.
26:04And very dangerous, but effective.
26:06Greg had the morgue supervisor sign all of the documents necessary to release the body,
26:10and then place Jane Doe's body in Amy's bag.
26:13Then, like any other couple in love, they walked arm in arm, out of the hospital, and into the sunrise.
26:19Risking everything for love.
26:20If it weren't for the fact that Dr. Monroe was killed, it'd be a pretty romantic story.
26:25Hold on now, I thought Greg had a solid alibi for her murder.
26:27Well, sir, we think that an accomplice was helping him out, so we're looking into known associates,
26:31and we've also got a team out at Greg's apartment looking to see if they can find any leads.
26:35We're also monitoring his credit cards, and we've issued APBs for the tri-state area,
26:39but given all of the planning, they probably already had an escape route planned.
26:43But if we're lucky, we'll catch a break.
26:45I think we just did.
26:48Greg's letters to Amy.
26:50If they've been planning this for a long time, there's got to be a clue in the letters.
26:53All the cruel red Greggs.
26:54If we can find Amy's letters to Greg, then we'll have a full set.
26:56Yes, sir.
26:58Well, these are just love notes.
27:00There's nothing in here about the escape.
27:02Well, then we have to look at these like a romance novel, not a murder mystery.
27:05These people are burying their souls in these letters, and if we're lucky, we'll find our Zawatanejo.
27:11In the Shawshank Redemption, Andy was trying to...
27:14No, I know what it is.
27:15I'm a cop.
27:16I've seen the movie.
27:18It's just there's nothing about that in here.
27:20The only thing that Amy talks about is being innocent of the crime she was convicted of and how much she misses Greg.
27:25Yeah, it's pretty clear Greg misses her, too.
27:27Listen to this.
27:28The days without you grow longer, but my love for you grows...
27:32Stronger?
27:33Harder.
27:35A poet he's not.
27:36Yeah, well, not everyone is a best-selling crime novelist.
27:39And it doesn't mean that their love was any less.
27:41Listen to what she wrote to him.
27:44I can't bear to see you suffer.
27:46Make a new life with someone else.
27:48Just be happy.
27:49If anyone deserves it, it's you.
27:51I think I have his response to that.
27:55I don't believe in much, but I believe in us.
27:57I like this guy.
27:58And no matter the obstacles, no matter how hard you try, you'll never get rid of me.
28:03I love you.
28:03You're right.
28:08These are worthless.
28:14So, two lovers reunite after three years.
28:19Where would you go?
28:21Motel.
28:21Really?
28:23Really?
28:24That's what you call special?
28:26Well, I'm assuming they're on a budget.
28:29All right, where's the first place you'd go?
28:31I don't know.
28:31Someplace romantic?
28:32Someplace with special meaning, maybe?
28:35Like the first place they met?
28:39Yeah.
28:40I'll never forget the first time I laid eyes on you.
28:43That cold, rainy night inside the Burgeropolis in Hillsdale.
28:47Hillsdale, New Jersey.
28:49Burgeropolis?
28:50You think that's their special place?
28:55Yeah.
28:55No.
28:56That's stupid.
28:58Maybe we'll get lucky with the APBs.
29:00Well, let me know.
29:06Nothing from airports, bus, or train stations.
29:09There's no credit card activity.
29:11Apparently, Greg pulled all of his money out of his bank account a week ago.
29:14$8,000.
29:15That's more than enough money to get out of the country.
29:17They're probably halfway to Canada by now.
29:18Well, we sent their photos to Border Patrol, so if they try to leave, we'll catch them.
29:22Listen, they're hidden in the trunk of their buddy's car.
29:24Lab ID'd those carpet fibers from Dr. Monroe's body.
29:27They're from the lining of a car trunk.
29:29A DeVille manufactured within the last five years.
29:32That's probably how the accomplice got the body to the funeral home.
29:34All right, check into surveillance cameras within the vicinity of the funeral home.
29:37Maybe we'll get lucky, get a license plate, and track down that accomplice.
29:40Or you can just ask Greg whose accomplice he is.
29:43Sir?
29:44Those Jersey State Troopers you had staking out the Burgeropolis just pulled your fugitive lovebirds
29:48from the drive-thru, and they're bringing them in now.
29:50You had Jersey Troopers stake out the Burgeropolis?
29:52Yeah.
29:53But you said that was stupid.
29:55No.
29:55You said it was stupid, and it looks like you were wrong.
29:59No, no, no.
30:00I was right.
30:01I love her.
30:03What was I supposed to do?
30:04Leave her in that prison to rot?
30:06What would you have done?
30:07The love of your life stuck behind bars for a crime she didn't commit?
30:11That's not what this is about, Mr. McClintock.
30:13Yes, it is.
30:15Amy didn't drive the getaway car in that robbery.
30:17Her car was stolen.
30:18She got screwed.
30:19Get focused, Greg.
30:20We're not interested in your girlfriend's crimes.
30:23We're here because of Dr. Monroe's murder.
30:26What?
30:28I have an alibi, remember?
30:30We know you have an alibi.
30:31We also know that you have an accomplice.
30:34I don't have an accomplice.
30:39To scold you for flirting with her residents.
30:42She was on to you.
30:44She knew about the drugs.
30:45She knew about the plan.
30:47She knew about Bedford Hills, and that's why you had her killed.
30:49No.
30:51When she pulled me into her office, I knew she was on to me.
30:54I had to move fast before she ruined everything.
30:56So you killed her.
30:57No, I didn't kill...
30:59All I did was change the date of Amy's escape.
31:02I had to get her out before Dr. Monroe found out everything.
31:05Or maybe she already knew everything.
31:07Maybe she threatened to turn you in.
31:08No.
31:09From her questions, I could tell she was fishing.
31:12Trying to put the pieces together.
31:13She was off shift for the next two days.
31:15So I figured if I could distract her and get the hell out of her office,
31:18our plan might still have a chance.
31:20What do you mean you distracted her?
31:21You know, change the subject.
31:22I started asking her about this new bracelet she had.
31:26Now it was a special gift from her boyfriend.
31:28Then a few minutes later, her phone rang, and I got the hell out of there.
31:30Well, that's a pretty good story.
31:33Hmm.
31:33Only, Dr. Monroe didn't have a boyfriend.
31:36No, I swear, the way she was talking about that bracelet, she definitely had a boyfriend.
31:41In this whole investigation, there has not been one mention of a boyfriend.
31:45Probably because he was lying.
31:47Look.
31:47Nothing, nothing, nothing.
31:49See?
31:50No bracelet.
31:51Nearby bank cam.
31:52Got a photo of a DeVille heading towards the direction of our funeral home shortly after
31:55our window for time of death.
31:56It was the only one that passed by that night.
31:58Well, is there a better angle so he could see the license plate or the driver?
32:00Nope.
32:01That's the best one.
32:02Oh, look.
32:04He wasn't lying.
32:06She was wearing the bracelet right before she was killed.
32:08Well, where did it go?
32:09CSUs didn't find one in the coffin or anywhere else.
32:12The killer took it.
32:13Why?
32:13Well, it doesn't look like it was worth very much.
32:15And if it was about money, how come he didn't take her purse?
32:17Because it wasn't about money, it was about passion.
32:19Do you recognize that bracelet?
32:20I've seen that design before.
32:30Detective, Mr. Castle, have you made any progress finding Valerie's killer?
32:35We believe we have.
32:37Tell me, what was the exact nature of your relationship with Dr. Monroe?
32:40I told you already she was my physician.
32:43You said that before, but I'm confused.
32:44You see, unlike you, I don't take long romantic drives with my doctor.
32:48I do that with my girlfriend.
32:50We don't yet live in a world where passion is a crime, do we, detective?
32:54No, but crimes of passion are.
32:57Especially murder.
32:58That's a lovely necklace you're wearing, Mr. Calderon.
33:01May I?
33:01I couldn't help but notice.
33:03It bears a similar design to the bracelet that Valerie was wearing the night she was killed.
33:09That's because I gave it to her as a token of my affection.
33:14It belonged to my mother.
33:16This belonged to my father.
33:18They're a set.
33:20Well, considering it's an heirloom, no wonder you wanted it back.
33:23I don't know what you mean.
33:25It wasn't on her body when she was found.
33:27Someone removed it.
33:29What happened?
33:30Did she reject you?
33:33Is that when the old Calderon returned?
33:35Not the cognac-swirling renaissance man we see before us, but the ruthless killer?
33:41Be careful, Mr. Castle.
33:42This is not one of your fictions where people bleed ink.
33:45I loved her, yes.
33:48But I did not kill her.
33:50I was here.
33:51And you're wealthy enough to have bought the alibi.
33:54This is outrageous.
33:54I will not be slandered.
33:57It is not slander if there is proof.
33:59This is a photo from an ATM camera.
34:02The night that she was killed about a block and a half away from the funeral home where her body was dumped.
34:08That's your car, Mr. Calderon.
34:10The same one you and Valerie used to take your long romantic drives.
34:13No, you're mistaken.
34:15Save it, Calderon.
34:16We found nylon fibers on her body.
34:18Gray.
34:19Just like the color of the carpet on the back of your DeVille.
34:22So what was her body doing stuffed in the trunk of your car?
34:25I was here.
34:26I...
34:26I...
34:28I remembered.
34:32I was here.
34:36But you...
34:38You took the keys that night.
34:43Madre de Dios.
34:47It was you.
34:49I can see it in your eyes, Manolo.
34:52It was you.
34:53You don't understand, hermano.
34:55I had to.
34:57I did it for you.
34:58Why?
34:59She was an informant sister.
35:01When I saw her with that man at the diner,
35:03I followed him.
35:05And you know what I found?
35:06He worked for the attorney general.
35:09She betrayed you.
35:10Why didn't you come to me?
35:12Because you were too blind then, brother.
35:17And when you gave her mother's bracelet,
35:19I knew it was up to me to keep Valerie from hurting you.
35:22What did you do, Manolo?
35:24He hit her in the head.
35:26Knocked her out.
35:26And then using the syringe scales he developed,
35:30caring for you,
35:31he injected her with air.
35:32Leaving no blood evidence.
35:35And then he stuffed her body into someone else's coffin
35:38so that you would never know.
35:41How could you do this?
35:44I made them disappear.
35:45Just like you taught me, hermano.
35:51No body.
35:53No murder.
35:55Manuel Calderon,
35:56you're under arrest for the murder of Dr. Valerie Monroe.
36:00I couldn't let her hurt you.
36:02The fact is, she wasn't going to.
36:04She wasn't investigating your brother.
36:06She was looking into corruption at County Hospital.
36:09You killed her for nothing.
36:10Okay.
36:11Let's go.
36:12You know that Nurse Greg fellow?
36:27He impresses me.
36:29You know, someone willing to risk it all
36:31to break his lover out of the big house.
36:33We should all have that in our lives.
36:37Yeah, we should.
36:38Hey, you're home.
36:42How was it?
36:44Taylor was amazing.
36:45Ash and I held hands while she sang our song.
36:48It was so great.
36:51Thank you so much.
36:53For what?
36:54It's okay.
36:55Gina told me the tickets were from both of you.
36:59Good night.
37:04Very considerate of Gina.
37:05Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
37:08Mm-hmm.
37:10You're starting to like her, aren't you?
37:11I stopped being emotionally invested in your girlfriends
37:14after you dumped that darling Lizzie in 11th grade.
37:17Gina's very nice.
37:19She's a little over the top, but you know,
37:21you're happy, I'm happy.
37:22But, the question is this.
37:27When you come right down to it,
37:29would you be willing to break her out of prison?
37:32Because that, my boy, is true love.
37:42Oh, God, I love you so much.
37:47I love you too.
37:48I can't stand the thought of you getting locked up over me.
37:54Well, you might not have to.
37:57After hearing all your, uh, claims of innocence,
37:59we decided to go over your arrest file.
38:02Turns out there were a lot of discrepancies.
38:04So we sent the files to Leonard Maloney
38:06over at the Attorney General's office,
38:07and he agreed.
38:09Apparently, your public defender was a real hack.
38:12He overlooked several key pieces of evidence.
38:14Including a statement that was ignored
38:16because of the eyewitness's mental illness.
38:18So, Maloney has agreed to reopen your case,
38:21and he believes that you have cause to be hopeful.
38:27What about Greg?
38:28Well, in the spirit of justice,
38:30Maloney has said that if you get exonerated,
38:33he will recommend that Greg gets probation.
38:37Why are you doing all this?
38:38Because someone convinced me
38:40that a love story as good as yours
38:42deserves a shot at a happy ending.
38:43Oh, um, we feel bad
38:55that the state troopers picked you up
38:56at Bergeropolis
38:57before you were able to relive your first date.
39:00So until you do get out,
39:02we brought you this.
39:07I, uh, told them to hold the onions.
39:09That was a nice thing you guys did in there.
39:19I just thought that
39:20after everything Greg did for her,
39:22they deserved a chance.
39:24Besides, if it were you and I
39:25in Amy's shoes,
39:26we'd still be rotting in prison.
39:27Ha!
39:27Speak for yourself, bro.
39:29I'd escape.
39:30Why, you just leave me in there?
39:31It's all the jungle.
39:32I gotta look out for numero uno.
39:33Wow.
39:35Nothing like a hypothetical prison term
39:36to let you know who your friends really are.
39:37Don't worry, Castle.
39:39I'll get you out.
39:49You coming?
39:51Yeah.
