00:00Yes!
00:30What are you so excited about?
00:32It's the latest issue of SkyMall. Sweet.
00:35Oh, really, darling? Who subscribes to SkyMall? Isn't perusing all that dreck on the plane enough?
00:40Dreck? Mother, I will have you know this is the gateway to the hottest new inventions in the world.
00:45Where else can you find a remote control that has a bottle opener?
00:49What?
00:51I think it's Alexis' decision letter from Stanford University.
00:54Oh, kiddo. You okay?
00:57Yeah, it just makes it so real. She grew up so fast.
01:01Well, what do you expect? Her to live here forever?
01:04Well, her, yes. You.
01:06Watch it.
01:08Is that the mail?
01:10Oh, yeah. You have one here from a Mr. Stanford. Is that anyone you know?
01:23Well, darling?
01:24I didn't get in.
01:28What?
01:29Oh, sweetie. I'm so sorry.
01:31But I picked up my classes. I bought t-shirts. I had it all planned.
01:37How could Stanford think she's not worthy? She's perfect.
01:42Last week, you didn't want her to go.
01:44Yeah, but I didn't not want her to get in. I'm sure she would get in.
01:47You got in.
01:49Well, I wouldn't now.
01:51Anyway, put your bruised ego aside. I'm sure she's crushed.
01:54Well, actually, right now she's in denial.
01:56When I left, she was on the phone with admissions explaining to them they'd made a mistake.
02:04Where's the body?
02:05That is an excellent question.
02:07You mean there's no body?
02:09Nope. Just lots of blood.
02:11Whosoever it is, there's no way they survived.
02:14So where'd they go?
02:16You're the one with all the crazy theories, Castle.
02:18Walking dead.
02:19But there are indications that the body was moved.
02:22I think I know who moved it.
02:24I got witnesses that said they saw an unmarked white van fleeing the scene just after 7 a.m.
02:29Did they get an eye on who was behind the wheel?
02:31No, but we got Unis canvassing for eyewitnesses and checking every street-level security cam in a five-block radius.
02:36Tire tracks.
02:37Okay, get a cast of the tire tread CSU might be able to get make and model.
02:44Two different size footprints. There was at least two of them.
02:46Yeah, but there's no tread on the footprints.
02:48Must have been wearing booties.
02:50Missing body. Killers who literally cover their tracks.
02:55Anyone else getting a quick-strike assassin squad vibe?
02:57Come on, Castle. You're not saying this is some kind of black-ops job.
03:00I'm not saying it. The evidence is saying it.
03:02I'm betting this guy's buried at sea by now.
03:05Pliny, there's an imprint in the blood.
03:07Yeah, it looks like a box or a case.
03:09Might have been our victims.
03:10Nuclear launch codes, probably.
03:12Hey, Ryan, there's a pattern. Let's see if CSU can ID it.
03:15Ugh.
03:16Is there a problem?
03:18Uh, no, sorry. Just that word, pattern.
03:21Jenny and I were still registering for the wedding.
03:23China, silverware, stemware, sheets, not to mention...
03:29CSU imprint, got it.
03:31Yo, pretty sure I got a cause of death.
03:33You mean besides massive blood loss?
03:35Gunshots. Neighbors heard a pair go off at 6.40 this morning.
03:386.40? Are you sure?
03:39Uh, positive. Why?
03:41Because Ryan's witnesses saw a van racing out of here at 7.
03:44Who would kill someone and wait for them to bleed out and then take their body?
03:47I guess that rules out quick strike, Assassin Squad.
03:51An imprint in the blood is your best lead?
03:53Well, based on stitching, CSU determined that the briefcase is in Underwood,
03:56which is pricey, and only two local shops sell them.
03:59They're giving us customer information.
04:01Sounds like a long shot at best.
04:02We're waiting on tire tread analysis, and Detective Ryan is overseeing the review
04:06of over 50 security cameras looking for that van.
04:09What about the victim? Any closer to an ID?
04:11Based on blood, Dr. Parrish determined that our victim is a male,
04:14so we're looking for missing persons reports of men in that area.
04:17Men? You've narrowed the victim pool down to men.
04:20Uh, well, in New York City, that actually eliminates over 4 million women, so...
04:26Mr. Castle, I don't know what the mayor sees in you, but I know how you're alike.
04:32He's term limited.
04:37Maybe if I sent her flowers.
04:38No. No.
04:41So, an investigation without a body, that's kinda new, right?
04:45Uh, yeah. You know, there have been murder investigations where authorities haven't found the body.
04:50Yeah, but in those cases, they still know who the victim is.
04:54Father of four, disappears on fishing trip, blood found in family garage.
04:59Where do you start when you don't know who the victim is?
05:02You...
05:04Uh, you know, you could...
05:07We really need to find the body, don't we?
05:11Yeah, pretty much.
05:12I may be able to help.
05:14Security cam footage near the alley clocked.
05:16Three vans that match our witnesses' description.
05:18Two astros and an econo line.
05:20It's the econo line.
05:21Tire trade analysis just came back.
05:23You get plates?
05:24Yeah, the econo line is registered to a PW storage.
05:27It's only six blocks from our crime scene.
05:28Alright, let's go.
05:33Plates match.
05:42Pickett.
05:52Door.
06:12what the hell
06:17what's in these things i don't know
06:30judging from the size of them you almost expect there to be people jeez they're people they're
06:39people
06:44they look frozen
06:51what the hell is this place
07:01who are they all does anyone else have a sudden urge to run to the streets screaming they're here
07:06yeah this is detective beckett i need every csu move it move at 10 o'clock
07:22we're just doing our job killing and freezing people is your job no he was already dead when
07:28we arrived to pick him up we work for passageway a cryonics company cryonics that explains the room
07:34full of human popsicles they all have contracts with us we cryo preserve them to be brought back
07:38to life in a science fiction future where death is a cure think they can put me under till the
07:42wedding how did you know he was dead before we did he was wearing a bio watch with a pulse monitor and
07:47gps we're notified immediately when a client's pulse stops we were there in 15 minutes that explains the
07:53timeline problem even if that's true what were you thinking moving a shooting victim why didn't you call
07:59911 we couldn't wait in cryonics every minute counts we had to get him frozen as quickly as
08:04possible to keep his brain alive his brain isn't alive it's dead he's dead that's a matter of opinion
08:11dr erie weiss ceo of passageway this is my attorney johnny rosen i imagine you have many questions
08:17yeah starting with who's the murder victim you took from my crime scene
08:21his name is lester hamilton a biology professor at edson university he also happens to be an old
08:28friend from harvin medical school it's ironic he died so young why's that he conducted cutting-edge
08:34research developing life extension techniques not that it did him any good
08:42so he worked with you no lester focused on how to extend life before death
08:47i created passageway in order to preserve the hope of future life after death you got any
08:53celebrities in here ted williams jack frost we don't discuss our clients well you're gonna have
08:59to discuss this one lester hamilton was murdered and my me will be taking custody of his body as
09:05soon as she gets here detective our client professor hamilton has an ironclad agreement with passageway to
09:12have his body cryo preserved upon his death short of a court order he's not going anywhere
09:16and any attempt to take him would constitute tortious interference and we would sue you and the nypd into
09:21oblivion okay got it da won't back us up on this one they say that the case law is murky i'll say
09:32it's murky a life extension researcher is killed then a shadowy cryonics company absconds with the body
09:38this has all the hallmarks of a vast and insidious conspiracy still trying to figure out how to explain it to
09:44gates they steal our victim and then threaten to sue us sir it's a legal chicken and egg problem
09:52since hamilton's body is on private property we can't get it without a warrant but it's gonna be
09:57tough to get a warrant because without the body we can't even prove he was murdered you get that
10:01double speak from their counsel no sir my mother was a lawyer anyway trust me this is the argument that
10:06they will make okay then where are we well the cryonics technician said that hamilton was shot
10:11twice in the chest they turned over his clothes and based on the holes in the shirt it looks like
10:16it was a large caliber bullet there's still money in his wallet suggesting it wasn't a random mugging
10:21what about the briefcase technician said that there wasn't a briefcase at the scene i called up
10:25hamilton's wife she was adamant that he left the apartment this morning with a briefcase in hand
10:30she's on her way in right now with a dr philip boyd he's a colleague of mr hamilton's
10:37yes hamilton's office at hudson university was broken into three days ago when his computer was
10:41smashed security never found out who did it check into it see if you can find something campus cops missed
10:46sounds like something in that office or briefcase was worth killing for then find out what detective
10:51and get the wife to release his body yes sir i can't do it i have to honor lester's wishes
10:58mrs hamilton you do understand that without your husband's body we might not be able to solve his
11:03murder if preservation is discontinued he's gonna be gone forever with all due respect he already is gone
11:10forever unless they would dispute that he and i have been colleagues at hudson for 20 years now and
11:16he's a true believer for him the keys to life extension to reversing death itself where we
11:22then read so he would never give up his chance at the revival do you know why he chose to focus on
11:27life extension we fell madly in love with each other he told me that one lifetime together wasn't enough
11:35he wanted more so do i
11:38mrs hamilton we think that whoever killed your husband might have stolen his briefcase do you know
11:47what was in it his research for the ambrosia project he always had it with him ambrosia as in the food
11:53greek gods ate to achieve immortality and what was the ambrosia project exactly philip how would you
12:00explain it that's a little outside my wheelhouse but lester was developing pharmaceutical implants
12:06that caused the body to reduce young cells in a set of aging ones he expected it to extend human
12:12lifespan by 10 years treatment like that would be worth a fortune to big pharma billions though most of
12:18the money would have gone to bo randolph bo randolph the guy behind college girls gone crazy
12:26how is it how was a porn mogul connected to all this us researchers take our funding where we can
12:32get it randolph made a killing in porn and now he fancies himself a venture capitalist he is funding
12:39lester's research you know he was lester cut all ties with him why is that lester wanted to take an
12:45open source approach publishes research online and then develop it with his peers to speed up the
12:50process and that way no one could hold a patent on the results and how did randolph feel about that
12:56oh they had awful fights about it but lester was adamant in fact he was supposed to upload the data
13:01today when did your husband and mr randolph have their falling out three days ago three days ago that's
13:08when his office was broken into bo randolph is distasteful of course but do you really think
13:15i think that losing billions of dollars is motive for murder
13:21so not only is beau randolph the proud owner of a smith and wesson 45 automatic which is a large
13:26enough caliber to have created that entry wound in our victim he also has a carry permit what i couldn't
13:32even get a carry permit how did he get one the hard way several guys saw their girlfriends in his videos
13:37and beat the hell out of them no longer jealous the gun still doesn't tie him to our murder yeah but this
13:43might a charge on our vick's credit card at 6 30 this morning he bought breakfast at medusa diner
13:48i talked to the waitress guess who was with him beau randolph and there was a whole lot of yelling going
13:52on 6 30 that's 10 minutes before hamilton was shot come on castle
14:03the abrosia project sounds like a robert ludlum novel where the millionaire playboy kills a
14:11researcher to get his hands on the secret formula for eternal life yeah well 10 years is not eternal
14:15life would you do it would you get the implants i don't think i need them huh i mean the pharmaceutical
14:21implants so i could live to 100 instead of 90 no i think i will pass what if you could stay the same
14:26way you are now for the next 10 years i don't want to stay the same how could you not want 10 extra
14:31years well one thing i've learned is that you never know how much time you have and i thought i had
14:37more i just might end up wasting it yeah you're gonna need to get those implants otherwise you'll get
14:42older and 10 years from now i'll still be exactly the same isn't that how you'll be anyway it's dr beckett
14:48mr randolph will be right out great thank you everyone here for sorority pillow fight number seven
14:53come on back someone needs to get these girls clothes made of actual fabric when did you become
14:59so judgmental about practically naked women since my daughter hit college age and there he is
15:07defiler of co-eds detective beckett beau randolph are you sure you're not here to audition for my
15:15postdocs play doctor series no then what can i do for you you can answer a few questions about
15:22lester hamilton like why did you kill him yeah i was with professor hamilton at the diner this morning
15:32the only crime was how bad the food was witnesses say that you fought that's right i'd sunk millions
15:38into his research and suddenly wants to give it all away there's one thing internet porn has taught me
15:43you don't get rich by giving it away is that why you killed him so you could secure ambrosia before
15:47you uploaded it for everyone to see that's why i walked home and called my lawyer to issue an
15:51injunction the doorman said you came home at 7 10. sounds right lester hamilton was killed at 6 40.
15:57there's plenty of time for you to put two in his chest before walking home i didn't kill him but i know
16:02who did do you really would you care to share look last month the nih rejected him for human testing
16:11now i told him the setback was temporary but he said he was too close to a breakthrough he wasn't
16:15gonna let a bunch of bureaucratic scientists get in his way a week later i noticed a hundred thousand
16:22dollars missing from the account i set up for him you think he went ahead with human testing without
16:27approval yes in secret and then he tells me to take a hike i think he had that breakthrough i think the
16:34ambrosia project worked it's a very interesting theory mr randolph but you still haven't told us
16:40who you think killed hamilton if he was doing illegal testing where were his test subjects coming from
16:51i can tell you this they weren't clean cut college kids they're the kind of folks who don't mind needles
16:58and are likely to possess firearms here's my view and unlike yours mine is based on fact
17:05you sunk millions of dollars into hamilton's research and just as you thought that hamilton
17:12was making a breakthrough he cut you off that is motive
17:18you have a large caliber gun hamilton just happened to have been shot with a large caliber gun that is means
17:25and you were seen arguing with hamilton ten minutes before he was killed that is opportunity
17:32it's conjecture detective you have no proof actually i do csu just found that your 45 caliber gun was
17:39fired this morning ouch you know what we call that the smoking gun
17:47well that had nothing to do with hamilton there was a flock of pigeons on my roof this morning
17:56squawking i was trying to sleep pigeons that's what you're gonna go with
18:09given that the only evidence you have is frozen inside mr hamilton
18:13yeah that's what i'm going with in the meantime i'd like my lawyer
18:22smug self-satisfied son of a bitch yes but with no witness to the shooting all we've got is a gun
18:27since we can't match ballistics without the bullets we can't even prove it's the murder
18:30weapon thank you mr castle i know how ballistics works sir we need that body otherwise we don't have
18:35a case i'll call the da i don't care if case law is murky we have a suspect now here's the deal boys
18:41the da's office believes that we currently have sufficient grounds to obtain a warrant
18:45and take custody of lester hamilton's body as evidence in his murder investigation you know
18:50we'll fight you right do you really want to risk that case law will be established on the basis of
18:55these extraordinary circumstances case law that will limit the rights of all your clients now i'm hoping
19:02that we can find another way but i need that body we can't surrender our clients chance at a long
19:07productive future life because it proves inconvenient for the state then i'm sure you'll
19:11be hearing from the district attorney's office shortly there may be another way our admittance
19:17x-rays showed that hamilton's heart was damaged by the bullets so maintaining the body is no longer
19:22a priority cryonics is mostly about preserving the brain by the time the technology exists to revive
19:28hamilton will surely be able to regenerate our bodies bottom line we can keep the courts out of
19:34this and you can have hamilton's body immediately if you agree to leave his head in storage at passageway
19:47then we have a deal now all we need to do is match ballistics to randolph's gun
19:54they're not a match what do you mean they're not a match i mean the bullets in lester hamilton's
19:59chest were not fired by bo randolph's gun are you sure no i just sit down here all day and make stuff
20:05up of course i'm sure sorry here's the ballistics report randolph's gun is a 45 headless here was
20:11shot with a 38. getting that body was supposed to sew our case up not blow it apart how can those bullets
20:18not match i have a theory but you're not gonna like it yeah i'm open to anything right now randolph
20:23is innocent yeah you're right i don't like it randolph can't be the only one who wanted hamilton's
20:27research maybe a competing life extension researcher maybe i'm gonna call his wife up and see what she
20:32knows uh alexis yeah she's spinning out she's never not gotten something she set her sights on
20:44do you mind if i no no you should be with her now you're sure yeah castle i think i can manage
20:49without you for a few hours all right don't look so happy about it hey yo ryan what's up man where
20:55you been down at the college running down that break-in in hamilton's office so listen to this
21:04what the hell is this that my friend is beau randolph's salad by him a dead pigeon csu found it on
21:09the roof of his building with a slug in his belly from his 45. seriously so randolph really did commit
21:13murder huh just writing him up for animal cruelty right now maybe there's still time to chronically freeze
21:18the little guy hamilton's office yeah so first off hudson's campus cops wow i know what we'll be
21:27doing when we're fried and don't care anymore at least they bag the evidence we were able to pull
21:30prints off hamilton's smashed computer they matched one of his students in eddie peck straight a's no
21:35record then what was he doing breaking into hamilton's office smashing his computer well tell me if this
21:39answers your question his father is a lead researcher at smith briar pharmaceuticals big pharma young peck
21:46stole hamilton's research for his dad that look familiar peck it should had your prints all over
21:52it we know you broke into hamilton's office what were you looking for it wasn't supposed to turn
21:56out this way i swear i just i didn't want to be a disappointment to who your father you did this for
22:02him didn't you you don't know what he's like what did you do with the research what research professor

22:40threw it against the wall don't you lie to me peck hamilton's grade report said you got an a on his
22:44midterm that's because after class the next day i followed him tried to work up the courage to beg

22:52hotel what was he doing there i don't know but he came out like an hour later and when he saw me he

24:17hamilton operating on why here it's an ambrosia project he said he was on the verge of a major
24:22breakthrough but got turned down for human testing looks like bo randolph was right
24:26hamilton decided not to wait who would sign up for an illegal experimentation of an untested surgical
24:39procedure i don't know make you feel better live longer hell i'd give it a try though not in a sleazy

25:44with ashley it's me dad i'm a failure hey just because you didn't get into one school does not
25:50make you a failure but you are going to have to accept that you didn't get in and move on
26:00how
26:03i just wanted to give her the childhood i never had maybe i overprotected her
26:07you crave her a great childhood castle it's not a bad thing not if she's incapable of handling rejection
26:12look we all get her hearts broken eventually just give her some time she'll find her way she
26:17doesn't end up auditioning for bo randolph so any word on what was going on in hamilton's hotel of
26:22horrors lady's running test results on the bloody instruments but so far it looks like at least one
26:27test subject wasn't pleased with the results csu found that note in the hotel you told me this would
26:32work i trusted you looks like bo randolph was right hamilton was doing human testing looks like it
26:37didn't go as planned maybe frankenstein's monster came back and killed frankenstein
26:43no look idea in the notes author the only prince yes he found in the room were hamilton's what about
26:47hamilton's wife we checked with her his colleagues and his students no one even knew he was doing any
26:52secret research well someone knew about it canvas around the hotel there's a big homeless population in
26:57the area maybe that's where he got his subjects you know i don't get hamilton on a character level why
27:03would he risk his reputation his safety to do illegal testing in some flop house i mean he was
27:08ready to give away his research so it wasn't the money why was he in such a big rush lady's got the
27:15dna results so the labs tell us who hamilton's test subjects were preliminary dna results from the needles
27:21and the drill show the dna is all from the same person lester hamilton so lester wasn't doing the
27:30procedures on someone else someone else was doing them to him and he decided to put his money where
27:34his mouth was using himself as a test subject but then who was doing the procedures on him and how
27:38did he even get him killed can i just maybe the treatment was a success hamilton realized he was on
27:43the cusp of a revolutionary life extension breakthrough oh my gosh this is real guy hold up stop doing that
27:51thing you do for one second thank you now all of the theorizing is cubed as usual but we've got a problem
28:00how so the ambrosia project implant is supposed to be in the patient's arm i checked his arms in fact
28:05i checked every inch of hamilton's body there were no intrusions or wounds anywhere i don't understand
28:11i thought you said the needles had his dna they do and his brain matter too so whatever they were doing
28:18they were doing to his head which is the only part of hamilton's body that you haven't checked yet
28:22get me his head and i can tell you what this is all about
28:28we had an agreement that was before when mr hamilton's head wasn't relevant to this case
28:33now it is please dr weiss i have a warrant and you're welcome to read it i know it's legal but
28:39think of lester hamilton's wishes his wishes right now come second to this murder investigation now open
28:43the door i'll be as minimally invasive as possible dr weiss any invasion at all will destroy memory
28:51personality vital functions oh my god what is it it's gone the thermal storage unit should be right there
29:04you gotta be kidding me are you saying you lost his head
29:14i don't understand how does my husband's head just go missing that's what we're trying to figure
29:19out mrs hamilton do you have any idea who could have operated on him at the 130 street i already told
29:25detective beckett i don't know anything about that now i need to find him immediately i need to make
29:31sure that his wishes are being respected i understand and i promise you that we are doing
29:36everything that we possibly can what about dr weiss he's in charge over there have you spoken to him
29:40detective beckett is with him right now i'm just as concerned about hamilton's head as you are detective
29:45there must have been a break-in at our storage facility a break-in really is that what you're
29:49going with we've never had anything like this happen to one of our clients it's the only thing that
29:53makes any sense no i will tell you what makes sense dr weiss either you're part of a cover-up
29:59or you're a murderer or both what why would i kill anyone i have a family well then did you take them
30:04into consideration when you colluded in moving a body from a murder scene that was a one in a
30:11million circumstance and everyone ended up getting what they need then why is it at every step of this
30:15investigation you have gotten in my way hamilton ends up dead and in your custody the da is about to
30:21turn over the body to me and you negotiate to keep the head i get a warrant for the head and suddenly it
30:27ends up missing the only thing i'm guilty of is trying to protect lester hamilton's desire to be
30:33cryo preserved i don't know anything about his murder please check with my company there must have
30:37been a break-in what's up turns out there was a break-in at the passageway storage facility in the
30:53middle of the night no way and they took the head security video just watch last night 3 32 a.m
31:00hamilton's storage container yeah
31:09who the hell's that hamilton's dear friend and colleague
31:16dr boyd
31:20n y pd open up boyd
31:21i don't think he's opening up
31:30he went out the window to the fire escape yeah you think i'm just excited
31:41he's got the head back in he's got the head i can see that dr boyd stop
31:46oh
31:56talk about taking a header
31:59look at the head
32:14i got it i got hamilton's head i think it's okay
32:24you are under arrest for the murder of lester hamilton i didn't kill him i was trying to save his life
32:38he's gonna be fine that's a relief
32:43why would anyone steal a head
32:45so dr boyd it seems we caught you red-handed i didn't kill him
32:57well then why did you steal his head did you miss him
33:02we know about your operating room at 130th street and you were doing surgery on hamilton's head but it
33:07had nothing to do with life extension so either you tell me about it or we take the head back and we find out on our own
33:23he came to me a month ago complaining about severe headaches
33:26an mri showed that he had stage four gliobastamal
33:30a brain tumor
33:31inoperable untreatable he only had a few months to live
33:35well then why did he go to you why didn't he go to a hospital
33:37because as a scientist he knew the limits of current therapies and
33:41he was familiar with my work nanoparticle genetic therapy english
33:46targeted treatment of tumors i'm years away from human testing but
33:53he was my best friend
33:57how could i say no to him
33:58so you set up shop at the hotel to keep it secret if anyone found out
34:04i'd lose my tenure
34:06my funding reputation we couldn't even risk using existing operating suites
34:13lester swore he wouldn't even tell cynthia and then he got the money from bo randall's
34:18fund in order to get you your supplies yeah i did five procedures over the month and was
34:25he getting better no a few days before he was killed i did an mri that showed that the tumor was
34:33still growing
34:37the treatment had failed
34:41brain tumor that's why hamilton wanted to put his project online
34:44in hopes that someone would finish his research yeah i've got esposito writing down void's alibi just in case
34:49what's wrong everything
34:59how do you do it dad do what well that letter that you have framed in your office
35:05my first manuscript rejection yeah how can you stand having it there because it drives me
35:11and i got 20 more of those before black pawn ever agreed to publish and hail the bullets that letter
35:16that letter reminds me of what i've overcome rejection isn't failure it sure feels like failure no
35:25failure is giving up everybody gets rejected it's how you handle it that determines where you'll end up
35:32my whole life has been about making sure i could get into any college i wanted
35:36what's it what's it about now give it time you'll figure it out
35:54she okay were any of us at that age
35:58now it'll suck until it doesn't yeah well speaking of sucking boyd alibite out
36:04he was at a department breakfast the morning that hamilton was killed i mean we caught the
36:08guy with our victim's head 99 times out of 100 you catch someone with a guy's head
36:14you kill the guy yeah well boyd also provided the mris of hamilton's head
36:19and he confirmed that the tumor would have ravaged his brain in a couple of months
36:24so in an odd way he got lucky
36:26how so well dr weiss said that cryonics was all about preserving the brain
36:31if hamilton had lived his brain would have been destroyed cryonic preservation wouldn't have been an
36:35option so then our killer inadvertently saved him for the future unless one lifetime together
36:43wasn't enough that's our motive maybe it wasn't so inadvertent
36:47thank you for coming in mrs hamilton i understand that you've already spoken
36:58with dr boyd yes it's a lot to process
37:04how can i help you well we were hoping that you could shed
37:08some light on some evidence that just came in
37:11what's that your husband's computer the one his student smashed the tech people here managed to
37:17recover a list of recent downloads included on that list was passageway's contract termination form
37:24any idea why your husband would download that no that must be a mistake actually the tech
37:31assured us that the download list was clean you're sure he didn't say anything to you about that
37:36because the best i can come up with is that your husband decided that working on his research
37:40until his brain gave out was more important to him than cryonically preserving himself but you
37:46disagreed with him didn't you mrs hamilton how could i disagree with him when i didn't even
37:52know about the tumor i think he did know and that's why you killed him so he would be preserved
37:58for the future before his brain was ravaged after shooting him you took his briefcase
38:04this is insane it's just wild conjecture actually it's not you got rid of the gun of course but we
38:15found your husband's briefcase hidden in your building's basement there were traces of your
38:19her husband's blood on it
38:31i gave him that briefcase when we got engaged
38:49i couldn't just leave it behind
38:51i had known for weeks that there was something wrong but lester said it was just stress
39:00and then a couple of nights ago he passed out when he was getting ready for bed
39:06and he told me the truth but he wasn't in his right mind
39:20he was too concerned about his research
39:24i needed to protect our future
39:27our eternity together
39:37it's what we always dreamed of
39:43so detective would you consider this to be a crime of passion i would consider this a crime of love
39:49nice though that would depend on whether cynthia hamilton was
39:53in love or insane well sometimes there's a fine line between the two
39:59well dr weiss i have your release forms ready to go i'm grateful detective castle so i'll just need
40:05you to sign down there at the bottom and the charges against you and your employees at passageway
40:10will officially be dropped by the department i'm happy to put this behind us excuse me
40:16to buy a watch signal the client is just flatlined
40:21well that's strange what is it the signal it's coming from inside this building
40:45the ring on the right hand
40:57cyanide pill
41:06detective beckett permission to have my technicians come and get her
41:16yes of course
41:23wouldn't it be something if they reunited a hundred even a thousand years from now
41:28well anything's possible
41:31do you really believe that that's what the great love stories are about right
41:36beating the odds i hope they make it
