00:03They killed my mother.
00:04What do you want me to do here?
00:05I get everyone associated with this case is dead.
00:08Walk away.
00:09Well, last time I checked, it was my life,
00:11not your personal jungle gym.
00:13I know you crawled inside your mother's murder
00:15and didn't come out.
00:16Same way you hide in these nowhere relationships
00:18with men you don't love.
00:19You know what we are, Castle? We are over.
00:21Yep, Montgomery's part of the conspiracy.
00:23He's been lying to us the whole time.
00:24Did you kill my mother?
00:25No, but she died because of what we did that night.
00:28Then who killed her?
00:29No, kid, I'll give you a name.
00:30I know you, you'll run straight at him.
00:31I might as well shoot you where you stand.
00:32And now they're coming.
00:34Castle, get her out of here.
00:36No!
00:37Please!
00:40Where is she, Roy?
00:41You can't have her.
00:42You can't hide her from us.
00:47And that was what, your last stand?
00:48I'm just gonna kill her anyway.
00:50No, you're not.
00:51And he's not.
00:52I saw it.
00:54You're done, Lockwood.
00:55We both are.
00:56No one outside of this immediate family ever needs to know about this.
01:03As far as the world is concerned, Roy Montgomery died a hero.
01:08Kate!
01:13I love you.
01:15I love you.
01:16I love you, Kate.
01:22Don't die on me!
01:24Come on!
01:25What you want?
01:26Hold on.
01:27Set up for information.
01:28Set up for information.
01:29Come on, Kate!
01:30Don't you die on me!
01:31Stay with me!
01:32Stay with me!
01:33Stay with me!
01:34Single key, step in the left chest.
01:35Do not die!
01:36Come on, girl!
01:37Set up for a chest cube promo wand.
01:38Switch!
01:39We got this!
01:40This is my friend.
01:41You understand me?
01:42She's my friend.
01:43Then let us save her life.
01:44Supportable opens.
01:45...uponable opens.
01:46Open the back.
01:47Open the back.
01:48We got this.
01:49Watch your back.
01:51The hand.
01:52We got it.
01:5331-year-old female.
01:55Jeose up.
01:56Left chest crashed on the way in.
01:58Top of the fence.
01:59Tommigines on the way.
02:00Stop compressions.
02:01One-year-old female just moved on the left chest, crashed on the way in.
02:03Top room is on the way.
02:05Stop compressions.
02:09We have a room. Let's check for breathing.
02:13Kate.
02:16Her breathing is shallow. Let's get her on the table.
02:18One, two, three.
02:21Hey, Dr. Kovacs, tell him he has to take over.
02:23Who is she?
02:25She's my girlfriend.
02:27What do you mean you couldn't find one?
02:28I want security checkpoints at all entrances and exits.
02:30No, he didn't. There's any surveillance cameras within ten blocks of that place.
02:33I want statements from everyone.
02:35No, one hour.
02:39How is she?
02:40He just took her to surgery, but...
02:43We need a chest tube.
02:44BP's 86 over 60.
02:49Where's that chest tube?
02:50Behind you.
02:53Kate, come on.
02:55Stay with me.
02:57Stay with me, Kate. I'm not you.
02:59Damn it. Bleeding in the left chest.
03:01That's our ADA.
03:02Tension pneumo's relieved, but she's still decreased.
03:04Okay, we can't wait. Set up her intubation.
03:06You can't operate on her. She's your girlfriend.
03:08She's dying. I'm not waiting.
03:11You're the fearless, Kate.
03:12How the hell did she get shot?
03:14What about the shooter?
03:16Gone.
03:16Gone? How can he be gone?
03:18We don't know. But he left his weapon behind.
03:20It's a Mark 11.
03:21Modified sniper rifle.
03:23Favor to special forces.
03:24Check in for prints now.
03:25Richard.
03:26Dad.
03:26Oh, my God.
03:32Where's Katie?
03:34Where's my daughter?
03:35I think he's 80 over 60.
03:3978 over 56.
03:41So much blood.
03:42Where the hell are you bleeding from, Kate?
03:45Pulmonary vein.
03:46Plant.
03:46Okay, I got you, you son of a bitch.
03:533-0-7.
03:54Blood pressure's still dropping.
03:55Yeah, you're as fast as I could.
03:5631-year-old female, single GSW to the chest.
03:58Okay, I got this.
03:59Left tension pneumo alleviated the chest tube,
04:01which revealed significant bleeding in the chest.
04:02I said I got this.
04:04The leader was the left inferior pulmonary vein,
04:05which Dr. Davidson just clamped.
04:07Josh, step aside.
04:08I'm already in. Just let me sew her up.
04:11You did what you had to.
04:12Now, do what you're supposed to.
04:16Dr. Davidson.
04:23Instruction.
04:25Rio.
04:26Here's the Rio.
04:29A sniper at a funeral.
04:31I think the people who sent those guys
04:33after Montgomery targeted Beckett.
04:34I tried to get to her.
04:36I tried.
04:36Hey, what the hell do you think?
04:38You're dead, dead.
04:40This is your fault.
04:41BP's still dropping.
04:42Stats are falling as well.
04:43She must be bleeding somewhere else.
04:45Where?
04:46There's no blood.
04:47You pushed her to look into her mother's murder.
04:48She was shot because of you,
04:50and Montgomery is dead because of you.
04:51Stop it.
04:52Stop it, all of you.
04:53Just stop it.
04:55I won't have you acting like three-year-olds
04:57while my daughter's fighting for her life.
04:58Vitals are still falling.
05:00Pulsox is dropping, critical.
05:02Her pericardium's distended.
05:03She's bleeding into it.
05:06That's why there's no blood.
05:07It's compressing her heart.
05:08Scissors.
05:09BP's dropping, 6545.
05:13Got it.
05:15Bullet graze the ventricle.
05:163-0.
05:19She's going into V-Fev.
05:21Paddle.
05:22He's right, you know.
05:24This is my fault.
05:26Richard Castle, don't you dare blame yourself.
05:29You are not the one who shot her.
05:31Charge to 10.
05:31Charge to 20.
05:35Clear.
05:38No.
05:40But I put her in the crosshairs.
05:45Still fibrillating.
05:46Charge to 20.
05:52I told her how I felt.
05:54I told her I loved her.
05:56Clear.
05:56Clear.
05:57Clear.
06:01Mr. Beckett.
06:23Yes.
06:24Your daughter is out of surgery.
06:27Will she be all right?
06:28Well, during the surgery, she experienced cardiac arrest.
06:33Now, we were able to get her heart beating again on its own, but we'll need to watch her
06:38very closely.
06:39When can I see her?
06:40Oh, once the nurses get her settled, we'll bring you back to her.
06:43The rest of you should go home, get some rest.
06:48I don't know about you, bro.
06:50Home's the last place I'm going.
06:52Not till we catch the son of a bitch who did this.
06:53Right behind you.
06:54We're fine.
06:56Go.
06:59Are you okay?
07:00Yeah.
07:06It's a shooter's rifle.
07:09It's clean for prints.
07:10Labs are on our trace right now for DNA.
07:12Well, what about the gun?
07:13Can we track the gun?
07:14According to the DOD, the serial number matches a weapon that was issued to one Martin Holst,
07:18a Navy SEAL who was killed in action seven years ago.
07:21His body was recovered in a subsequent mission, but the weapon was not.
07:25Anything from the K9 unit?
07:27Dogs picked up a scent, traced it to the west side of the cemetery, but then they lost it
07:30there.
07:30In a sea of cops, how does this guy go unnoticed?
07:33He may not have.
07:34Half the guys we talked to said they remember seeing a groundskeeper taking cover from the
07:37shooter behind a tree.
07:39But according to the grounds staff, none of them were in the area.
07:41He blended in during the chaos and then disappeared.
07:43If this guy's some pro for hire, he could be halfway to Cuba by now.
07:46Then we'll go to Cuba and find his ass.
07:48It just doesn't make any sense.
07:52It was supposed to be over.
07:56Montgomery sacrificed himself, killing Lockwood and all his guys.
08:01He said he was ending it.
08:02He said he was doing it to keep her safe.
08:06So if the plan was to keep her safe, then why the hell are they still coming after her?
08:10I don't know, bro.
08:11God knows who else is involved.
08:12He's going to be over.
08:29He's going to be over.
08:31He's going to be over.

09:05Oh, this recipe looks good on you.
09:07It's not diamonds.
09:09Hey, Castle.
09:13I'll see you afterwards.
09:15Yeah.
09:29Hey.
09:31You're staring at me.
09:33I must look really bad.
09:35No.
09:36I just never thought I'd see you again.
09:41I heard you were opening a flower store, so I thought I'd pitch in.
09:49They're all here when I woke up.
09:51I think they're mostly from the precinct.
09:53I don't think I'm gonna live this one down, Castle.
09:56Oh, probably not.
10:01I hear that you tried to save me.
10:05Yeah, I, uh...
10:09You heard?
10:12You don't remember me tackling you?
10:14No, I don't remember much of anything.
10:16I, um, remember that I was on the podium, and then I remember everything just gone black.
10:22You don't remember...
10:28The gunshot?
10:30No.
10:35They say that there's some things that are better not being remembered.
10:39Yeah.
10:40I keep seeing his face, Castle.
10:42Every time I close my eyes, I see Montgomery lying on the hangar floor.
10:49You should have let me go in there.
10:51They would have killed you.
10:52Oh, you don't know that.
10:53Kate.
10:54Castle.
10:56I'm really tired right now.
11:00Of course.
11:01We'll talk tomorrow.
11:04Do you mind if we don't?
11:09Just need a little bit of time.
11:12Sure.
11:13Sure.
11:14How much time?
11:15I'll call you, okay?
11:19Sure.
11:20You know we were dead.
11:21I think we were dead a little while.
11:23We weren't.
11:25I, you know you were dead.
11:26No, no.
11:27You're dead.
11:28I'm too much time in your sight.
11:29I let you go, oh boy.
11:30I'm too close to your body.
11:31I know we were dead.
11:32We were dead.
11:33We were dead.
11:34Was he running the old man?
11:35Yes, I'm too close to you?
11:37I was dead.
11:38I was going to stop.
11:39I was dead on theней island.
11:40Yes, I was dead.
11:41Okay, that's okay.
11:43You're dead.
11:44But if I'm dead, I was dead.
11:45I'm dead.
11:46United States Capitol, I'm my director. Call.
11:59Professional officers, please.
12:01Call, please.
12:16Hey, Beckett.
12:44What are you doing here?
12:45I think you're back till next week.
12:47Yeah, well, two months of listening to crickets in my dad's cabin was driving me nuts.
12:52It's okay.
12:53You don't have to make excuses.
12:55We know you missed us.
12:56That's why you couldn't stay away.
12:57Shut up.
13:01So?
13:03Anything?
13:04Still nowhere.
13:08What about the groundskeeper?
13:10The guy's a ghost.
13:11We ran face hits on surveillance, license plates.
13:15Nothing panned out.
13:17We did get DNA off the weapon.
13:19But there were no matches in the system.
13:21We flagged it, though.
13:22But didn't Castle tell you about all this?
13:25No.
13:26That's weird.
13:27Why wouldn't he...
13:27Why would he hide that from me?
13:28He's not hiding anything.
13:29I just haven't seen him in a while.
13:31How long is a while?
13:33Pretty much since the shooting.
13:34Why?
13:35What happened?
13:35Nothing happened.
13:36I just needed some time.
13:38What, he left you alone for three months?
13:39You guys, it wasn't his fault.
13:41I told him that I would call.
13:42Well, why didn't you?
13:43He was here with us every day, working the case.
13:48For months.
13:50He'd still be here if the new captain hadn't kicked him to the curb.
13:54She kicked him out?
13:55Why?
13:56Apparently, her precincts got no room for a dilettante writer playing cop.
14:02Captain Victoria Gates, a.k.a. Iron Gates, is by the book as they come.
14:08She cut her teeth as a detective with internal affairs.
14:11Wow, it's not going to win her any popularity points.
14:13Yeah, it's like she brought her distrust of cops along with her.
14:16Well, one thing's for sure, she's no Montgomery.
14:18Hey, she hasn't knocked the castle.
14:20She doesn't know about the bank yet.
14:21What bank?
14:22Oh, well, we won't get any traction and shoot her.
14:24So, Castle suggests that we check out Montgomery, McAllister, and Raglan,
14:28see who they might have been in business with back in the day.
14:30We know these guys were getting fat, rinsing with wise guys,
14:32maybe use that stash to pay off the guy who ordered your mother's murder.
14:35Yeah, so Castle thinks he found the bank that they used.
14:37So, there's a money trail.
14:38The only problem is, the bank closed down.
14:41No one knows where those old records ended up.
14:44We were working to locate them when Iron Gates shut down the investigation.
14:48She shut the case down? Why?
14:50No new leads on the shooter.
14:52We couldn't tell her the rest of it without implicating Captain Montgomery.
14:58Ma'am, if my mother drops by, you can call her ma'am.
15:01Call me sir or captain.
15:03Detective Beckett, back on active as of today.
15:08Detective Beckett.
15:09Your reputation precedes you.
15:11Youngest woman in the NYPD to make detective.
15:14Beat me by six weeks.
15:16I didn't realize that people kept score.
15:18Everybody keeps score, detective.
15:20Especially those downtown.
15:23Looks like you passed your psyche valve, so welcome back.
15:27I'll also need my gun.
15:29Not until you re-qualify.
15:30I'm sorry?
15:32You won disability for three months.
15:35Reg says you don't get your piece back until you re-qualify.
15:40And what about my case?
15:41What did Reg say about that?
15:43Three months and no leads, and every day more homicides coming through that door?
15:47How long did you expect me to let those folks tread water?
15:50There were good people on this case.
15:52There just isn't anything else.
15:53I'm sorry, sir, but with all due respect, those people aren't me.
15:57Excuse me?
15:58The people that you had working this case, they're not me.
16:04Look, I don't know what kind of shop Montgomery was running here,
16:07but it'll be a cold day in hell if I let a cop, any cop, investigate their own shooting.
16:12My precinct is no place for vendettas.
16:15Do we understand each other?
16:17I want my gun.
16:25So you gotta re-qualify.
16:27It's no big deal.
16:28It was a little insulting, but...
16:29Where are the files on the money trail?
16:31Castle's gone.
16:34What were we supposed to do?
16:35Leave him here so...
16:37Gates can find him?
16:39First thing she would do is open an investigation of Montgomery.
16:43You wanna see the files?
16:44You're gonna have to talk to him.
16:45Whatever you do, don't get caught.
16:47Oh, come on.
16:48What are you gonna do, bust me down to traffic?
16:50Worse.
16:51It's not like it was before.
16:53We go against the orders on this, we could all lose our badges.
16:56Yeah, Ryan.
16:57Yeah, what do you got?
16:59He is paranoid.
17:01But right.
17:03Well then, I guess I better not get caught.
17:06Hey!
17:07Got a fresh one.
17:08Eighteenth and less.
17:15You coming?
17:16No.
17:17I think I'm gonna sit this one out.
17:24She keeps looking into this.
17:25We could all lose our jobs.
17:26What about her life?
17:27Shooter's still out there.
17:29How's she supposed to live like that?
17:31Hmm.
17:32Someone had a party.
17:33Victim is Sonya Gilbert.
17:3527, this is her place.
17:37Sonya Gilbert.
17:39Your paparazzi favorite party girl.
17:41Multiple GSWs to the chest.
17:43The killer used the pillow as a poor man's suppressor.
17:46Punches to the chest, huh?
17:47Good thing Beckett's had this one out.
17:49Beckett's back?
17:50Yeah.
17:52She hasn't called you either?
17:53Not for weeks.
17:54Victim's sister found her an hour ago.
17:56They were supposed to go shopping today.
17:58Alarm system was activated around 10 last night,
18:01right after the victim and her boyfriend were seen returning home.
18:03It wasn't deactivated till 9 a.m. this morning.
18:05Boyfriend was spotted leaving the apartment right after that.
18:08Time to death?
18:09Between 3 and 4 a.m.
18:10Does this boyfriend have a name?
18:11Vic's sister identified him as a Dale Landers.
18:14Drummer from Particle Equation.
18:15They've been dating for six months.
18:17People magazine.
18:18What?
18:19Get a unit to his last known and get an APB out.
18:23Dead Celebitant?
18:25Heavy metal drummer?
18:26Castle would love this one.
18:27Hey, think maybe Beckett can talk to new captain to bring him back?
18:29She doesn't hang him for three months.
18:31What makes you think he's gonna want to come back?
18:33Well, that makes you my favorite fan.
18:37Thanks.
18:41I can't believe I'm meeting you right now.
18:43You're my favorite author.
18:45Thank you for coming out.
18:49How are you?
18:51Hi there.
18:51Who should I make it out to?
18:52And your name is?
18:53And your name is?
18:54Sure can.
18:54How you doing?
18:55How are you?
18:56Thanks for coming.
18:56And your name is?
18:56And who should I make it out to?
18:57Who should I make it out to?
18:58Who should I make it out to?
18:59Kate.
19:00Kate.
19:03You can make it out to Kate.
19:11Thank you very much.
19:12Thank you very much for the hard work.
19:13Next time I write a book, I'll be sure to come by.
19:14Thanks very much.
19:15Yeah, it's pretty cool.
19:17It was really fun, wasn't it?
19:19Castle, wait.
19:20I did.
19:21Three months.
19:21You never called.
19:22Look, I know you're angry.
19:23Oh, you're damn right I'm angry.
19:25I watched you die in that ambulance.
19:27Did you know that?
19:29You know what that's like?
19:30Watching the life drain out of someone you...
19:33Someone you care about?
19:36I told you I needed some time.
19:38You said a few days.
19:39I needed more.
19:40Well, you should have said that.
19:41Castle, look, I couldn't call you.
19:44Okay?
19:44Not without dragging myself into everything that I was just trying to get some space from.
19:49I needed some time to just work through everything.
19:52Josh helped you with it?
19:55We broke up.
19:56I like the dedication.
20:11Seemed right.
20:13Must have been hard writing that ending.
20:17Yeah.
20:18Yeah, given the circumstances, yeah.
20:22So why'd you guys break up?
20:26I really, really like them.
20:30That wasn't enough.
20:37After my mother was killed, something inside me changed.
20:41It's like I built up this wall inside.
20:45I don't know, I guess I just didn't want to hurt like that again.
20:51I know I'm not going to be able to be the kind of person that I want to be.
20:55I know I'm not going to be able to have the kind of relationship that I want until the wall comes down.
21:09And it's not going to happen until I put this thing to rest.
21:13Well, I suppose we're just going to have to find these guys and take them down.
21:29Doesn't mean I'm not still mad.
21:30The boys told me about what you did following the money trail, trying to track down who the cops paid off?
21:36I just wish it led somewhere.
21:38I mean, I located the files.
21:39When the bank closed, they took all the debt account paperwork and stored it in a warehouse in Union City.
21:45But a couple of years after the move, fire broke out and the files were destroyed.
21:49It's just another dead end.
21:50How did it happen?
21:51An accident.
21:52It was old wiring.
21:53Are you sure?
21:54Yeah, there was an investigation.
21:56Well, did you see the report from the fire investigator?
21:58No, but really a warehouse fire?
22:03It seems an awful lot of trouble just for a couple of files.
22:05That's no more trouble than they've already gone through.
22:07I mean, we have to read that report.
22:10There's this one problem.
22:12What?
22:14How are you going to help if Gates kicked you out?
22:17I only let her kick me out because there was no reason to stay.
22:20Oh.
22:22She'll take me back.
22:25Yes, Mr. Bayer.
22:26Yes, sir, I understand.
22:28Okay, I...
22:30You think you're clever, Mr. Castle?
22:35Going around my back like that?
22:36Well, let me tell you the score.
22:38I don't care how powerful your friends are.
22:41You screw up at all on my watch,
22:43and I'll prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.
22:46You understand me?
22:47Yes, ma'am.
22:48Sir.
22:49Sir.
22:50Now get out of my office.
22:55Detective.
22:56Yes, sir.
22:57You or that pal there embarrass me like that again?
23:01I will bury you.
23:05Yes, sir.
23:06Now, um...
23:08If you don't mind...
23:10I'd like my gun back.
23:26Showing her up with the mayor?
23:27You might as well have beaten a beehive with a bat.
23:30That worked, didn't it?
23:31Sorry, it sure was great seeing her face twitch like that.
23:34Sonya Gilbert?
23:35Yep.
23:36Guns, drugs, and love gone wrong.
23:38Where are you with the boyfriend?
23:39APB's out.
23:40He hasn't been home, and none of his bandmates know where he is.
23:42What was his motive?
23:43Usual.
23:44He and the Vic had been fighting.
23:46He was in love.
23:47She wanted out.
23:49Vic!
23:53Pulled the report on the fire from records.
23:55Check the date.
23:56That warehouse burned down three weeks after my mom's murder.
24:01That can't be a coincidence.
24:02Someone was destroying evidence.
24:04Evidence that could lead to your mom's killers.
24:05But the investigator ruled it an accident.
24:08Then there's nothing in there to suggest arson.
24:10Maybe someone altered it.
24:11There's an easy way to find out.
24:12Just ask the man who wrote the report.
24:14Rod Housted.
24:15Unless they got to him, too.
24:16Well, he's alive and on the job.
24:19Now get your ass over there and find something we can use to reopen the investigation.
24:22Ryan!
24:23Esposito!
24:25Yeah, we were just...
24:26Yeah, we were just getting a drink of water.
24:27Yeah, is that thing broken?
24:28I just...
24:29Saddle up.
24:29We just got a hit on the APB.
24:31A beat cop ID'd Sonia Gilbert's boyfriend heading into the band's rehearsal garage on the lower east side.
24:36You too, Beckett!
24:41Hidless.
24:41Hey, Beckett.
24:54You ready for this?
24:56You're kidding, right?
24:58Okay.
24:59But we got point.
25:00Let's go.
25:08What the hell were you thinking coming here, Dale?
25:10Come on, please.
25:15Hey, my PD!
25:16Hey, my PD!
25:16Let me see your hands right now!
25:18Let me see him!
25:19Let me see him!
25:20Show me!
25:20Let me see him!
25:21Let me see him!
25:21Let me see him!
25:22Stop!
25:22Come on!
25:23Kill me!
25:28Come on!
25:40Drop it!
25:46I'll drop you!
25:46Drop it now!
25:47Drop it now!
25:48Get out of the way!
25:49Drop it now!
25:49Drop it now!
25:49Drop it now!
25:50Get on the ground!
25:51Get down!
25:54The same caliber that killed Sonia Gilbert.
25:55It's not my gun, man.
25:57I swear.
25:58It's not my gun.
25:59Shut your ass down in that shit!
26:13Why don't we start with why you ran?
26:15Or maybe why you were pointing a gun at a police officer?
26:17You want to talk about it?
26:19About what?
26:21Kate, I saw you.
26:22When you saw that gun, you froze.
26:25It's nothing.
26:26Your hand was shaking.
26:27That's not nothing.
26:28Castle, it's my second day back.
26:30That's all.
26:31It's no big deal.
26:33And if it happens again?
26:34It won't.
26:37Where are you going?
26:39Find out who burned down that warehouse.
26:42Find out who killed my mom.
26:47Come on, Dale.
26:48We know you killed her.
26:50Just tell us why, and we'll tell the DA that you cooperated.
26:53The gun's a match, Dale.
26:54I told you, it's not mine.
26:55Why were you holding it?
26:56We have witnesses who saw you enter her apartment and then leave.
26:59Yeah, that's right.
27:00I was there, okay?
27:01And then...
27:02Look, man, I don't know.
27:04I crashed, and when I woke up, there was all this blood, and this was in my hands.
27:08So what are you saying, Dale?
27:09You sleep shot her?
27:10Is that your defense?
27:12No.
27:13Look, I'm saying it wasn't me.
27:15So, you went to bed, and you slept through your girlfriend's murder.
27:21Six shots.
27:23You must be a heavy sleeper.
27:26Mode of opportunity, possession of the weapon.
27:29Looks like a murder one trifecta.
27:30His bandmate, Mijianci, there said he was looking for money to get out of town.
27:34All right, contact the DA's office, have them file charges, and let the family know.
27:38Yes, sir.
27:39Where did Castle and Beckett go off to?
27:41They, uh, they had another lead.
27:45They were looking at him.
27:46Another lead?
27:47You caught the guy?
27:49Yeah, they were double-checking eyewitness accounts.
27:52Since it's a high-profile case, Beckett wants to make sure that we don't make any mistakes.
27:56Oh, well, that's good to hear, because we wouldn't want her making any mistakes, now, would we?
27:59Okay.
28:07Warehouse in Union City.
28:09Yeah, yeah, I remember this fire.
28:11The report said it was an accident.
28:13Yeah, that's right.
28:15And you're sure?
28:16Yeah, I'm sure.
28:18And this report hasn't been altered in any way since you filed it?
28:23No, why?
28:24Mr. Halstead, this is very important.
28:25Was there anything that you didn't put in that report?
28:28What do you mean?
28:29Anything that might indicate suspicious activity.
28:32Well, if there was anything suspicious, detective, it'd be in the report.
28:37Power surge of the junction box, one in a million of it.
28:40Thanks.
28:41So at no point did anyone pressure you into keeping some information out of that report?
28:46You are way out of line here.
28:47I'm out of line?
28:48I'm not the one who falsified that report.
28:50Get out of my station.
28:51Who set that fire?
28:52Who had you cover it up?
28:53Get out!
28:54Okay.
28:54You tell them that I'm coming after them, and you tell them that I'll find them.
29:00What the hell are you doing?
29:02He's lying.
29:03You don't know that.
29:05Yes, I do.
29:07Esposito?
29:09I need you to get me everything you can on Rod Halstead.
29:13Yeah, and send it to my apartment.
29:14I don't need Gates looking over my shoulder.
29:16How's Beckett?
29:21How'd it go with Halstead?
29:23She wants to pull some files.
29:25You got a deal yet?
29:26Nope.
29:28You know what I don't get?
29:30What's that?
29:31Our time of death is around 3 a.m.
29:32Now, with Dale's our shooter, why do you hang around for another six hours after he shot Sonia?
29:39He likes to cuddle?
29:40I don't know.
29:40It's not like blowing away your girlfriend is a rational act to begin with.
29:44Why?
29:45If I'm asking the question, Jerry's going to be too.
29:50This guy's got multiple citations for Valor, commendations from the Marys, literally saved dozens of people from burning buildings.
29:57It's hard to believe this guy's dirty.
29:58Yeah, well, we've been surprised before.
30:00Okay, um, does he intersect with anyone else in the case?
30:08Montgomery, Ragland, McAllister?
30:09No.
30:10There's nothing in the files.
30:12Might have known them socially.
30:13But we've been over there, lives with a fine-tooth comb.
30:16He's never come up once.
30:17Okay, so maybe he was a target of opportunity.
30:19He might have needed the money.
30:20Nothing in his financial records is indicating any problems.
30:22And given his record, he's...
30:26Given his record what?
30:28I'm just saying, what if he's not our guy?
30:31What if the fire was an accident?
30:33It wasn't an accident.
30:34I know it wasn't an accident.
30:36You can't know that.
30:36I can, because if this was an accident, then I've got nowhere to start.
30:41If this was an accident, then I've got nothing.
30:44The guy who shot me is gone.
30:46Dick Coonan, gone.
30:48Hal Lockwood, gone.
30:49Montgomery, gone.
30:50My mom, everybody is gone.
30:52Castle?
30:58Missed you for dinner tonight.
31:24Yeah, I know.
31:25I'm sorry.
31:25I was working.
31:26You were with Beckett?
31:28Yeah.
31:30I thought you said you weren't going back.
31:32I'm not.
31:34Look, I'm not.
31:35It's just this one case.
31:36Yeah, well, there's leftovers in the fridge.
31:44Hello?
31:45Mr. Castle?
31:46Yeah.
31:46I'm a friend of Roy Montgomery's.
31:50I'm calling about Detective Beckett.
31:53We need to talk.
31:54Do you have any idea who he was?
32:02Just that he's a friend of Montgomery's, that he owed Montgomery his life.
32:07He said Montgomery sent him some files, files that if they ever got out, could hurt some very powerful people.
32:15They were using those files as a threat to keep Montgomery's family from ever being harmed.
32:21Beckett's safety was also part of the deal.
32:22But they went after her anyway.
32:24He didn't get the files until after she was shot.
32:27He says she's safe now, on one condition.
32:32She can't go near the case.
32:34If she does, he can't guarantee her safety.
32:37If she digs, they will kill her.
32:40And this man, you believe him?
32:41I do.
32:42Then you have to tell her.
32:43If I do that, she'll put on blinders and run out into the line of fire.
32:47I can't let that happen.
32:48You are not going to change her, Richard.
32:50She's going to keep going out there, and she's going to keep digging.
32:52Not if I stop her.
32:54She'll listen to me.
32:56I could steer her away.
32:57For how long?
33:00I'm not going to lose her again.
33:01So I guess it's not just for this case, is it?
33:11How much did you hear?
33:13Enough.
33:16Look, it's really important.
33:18You don't say anything, all right?
33:19Especially to Beckett.
33:20You act like this is all about her, but you were standing right next to her.
33:24You could have been shot.
33:25Hell, I could have been shot.
33:26That's why I have to do this.
33:28Make sure they stay away.
33:29Yeah?
33:30You need to grow up, Dad.
33:32You're a writer, not a cop.
33:35Stop pretending.
33:52Thanks.
33:56Do you remember what you told me the first time I brought up your mother's case?
34:07That if you got started again, you wouldn't stop.
34:11You said it would probably destroy you.
34:12Yeah, well, I didn't have any leads then.
34:14We don't have any now.
34:17Look, Castle, I got a little emotional last night.
34:20I'm...
34:21I'm fine.
34:24No, you're not.
34:24And you know you're not.
34:29You've been back here three days.
34:31You're already in a free fall.
34:33I'm not telling you to walk away.
34:34I'm just saying...
34:36Give it time.
34:38You know, just until you get your bearings again.
34:40How am I supposed to get my bearings when someone out there wants me dead?
34:43By not letting them rob you of your life.
34:47I promise you, we will figure this out.
34:50We're going to find them, and we're going to make them pay.
34:52Just not today.
35:02Castle, if I don't do this, I don't know who I am.
35:06You're who you always were.
35:09You're the one who honors the victims.
35:11You're the one who can bring Sonya's family some peace.
35:23Hey.
35:27Anything?
35:28Well, according to the DA, we just turned a slam-dunk case into a Hail Mary.
35:31Yeah, a super cop over here had to keep digging, so, you know.
35:34And?
35:36CSU found trace residue of barbiturates in the vodka glasses, which means Dan and LaSonia were both roofied when they got back to the apartment.
35:44Well, it still could have been the boyfriend, right?
35:47I mean, he could have meant to roofie her, but roofied them both instead.
35:50Not that that makes any sense.
35:51What other explanation is there?
35:53There was no one else in the apartment, and according to the security system, no one else entered or left the apartment between 10 p.m. and 9 a.m.
36:00Which means the boyfriend has to be the shooter.
36:03Unless...
36:03Unless what?
36:06The killer was in the apartment the whole time.
36:09When they came home, they thought they were alone.
36:13Meanwhile, while they're out of the room, the killer slips out, spikes their drinks, and then slips back into his hiding place where he...
36:20Or she.
36:21...waits for them to pass out.
36:22Literally lying in wait.
36:23That's creepy.
36:27And then a couple of hours later, he slips out again, grabs a pillow, and bam, and then he...
36:32Or she.
36:33...wipes the gun clean and puts it into Dale's hand.
36:36He wakes up.
36:37He panics.
36:38He runs.
36:39All the while, our killer bides his time, waiting until the body is discovered before he makes his...
36:46Or her.
36:47...escape.
36:47Gentlemen, would you...
36:49One, two, three.
36:52The blood stain on the bottom of the mattress dripped down onto the carpet.
36:56There's no drip marks in the middle.
36:58Your light?
37:00Yeah.
37:01Fingerprints.
37:02Someone was here.
37:04Looks like they found a killer hiding place.
37:05Hiding in our bed for hours while the girl you just shot bleeds out?
37:15You're gonna be one sick bastard to do something like that.
37:17It's actually pretty clever.
37:18You commit a murder and free an innocent man all at the same time.
37:21And then you get away with it because the police already think they have their killer and no one's looking for you.
37:28Mitch Yancey.
37:29That's Dale's bandmate.
37:30Let's go.
37:41Ryan.
37:42Let's go.
37:46You okay?
37:48Yeah.
37:49I don't even...
37:50Put the gun down!
37:51Whoa!
37:51Hey!
37:51I said put it down!
37:54Just...
37:55Let me walk out of here, okay?
37:57That's all I want.
37:59Don't...
37:59Don't...
38:00Don't move!
38:01Mitch!
38:03I'll shoot you, I swear.
38:05Take it easy, Kate.
38:08I just need you to let me go.
38:10Take it easy.
38:10You've got this.
38:12You've got this.
38:13Put it down and stay back.
38:15Stay back!
38:16You don't want to do this, Mitch.
38:22Because I will have to put you down.
38:24Do you understand?
38:27Put that gun down now.
38:38Turn around.
38:38Hands behind your head.
38:39I don't want to do this, Mitch.
38:39Mitch Yancy, you're under arrest.
38:52Turns out Mitch had been seeing Sony secretly for a year,
38:55all the time she was with Dale.
38:56Mitch insisted that she leave Dale,
38:58but instead she broke it off with him.
38:59So this was Mitch's plan to take care of them both.
39:02He knew Sony's security code,
39:03but to frame Dale,
39:05he knew that the system couldn't record anyone else
39:06entering or exiting the apartment
39:08around the time of the murder.
39:09So he used a key that he'd stolen
39:11to slip in hours earlier in the day.
39:13All right.
39:14Cut the boyfriend loose.
39:15I'll brief the press and let him know
39:17we have a confession.
39:19So how's it feel?
39:22It's not enough.
39:26But it's enough for now.
39:31Thank you for having my back in there.
39:34That's what partners are for.
39:35Oh, and hey.
39:41We'll figure it out.
39:43That wall inside won't be there forever.
39:45You're right.
40:08I do need to grow up.
40:14That's why I'm doing what I'm doing.
40:17Everything that's happened happened because of me.
40:20I need to be there for her.
40:22I owe her that.
40:26Does she make you happy?
40:27Yeah, she does.
40:34Is it enough?
40:36It's enough for now.
40:42Okay.
40:43Okay.
40:49Dad.
40:52Don't grow up too much, okay?
40:53Hey.
40:59It's me we're talking about.
41:00Okay.
41:00What?
41:01I love you.
41:01I love you.
41:02I'm sorry.
41:03No.
41:03I love you.
41:04I love you.
41:04I love you.
41:05I love you.
41:05Probably surprised to see me back here.
41:35That most cops never come back after they pass their psych eval.
41:39Everyone's different.
41:41What's on your mind?
41:46I don't even know where to start.
41:49Well, why don't we start with the shooting?
41:52Is any of it coming back to you?
41:56I lied.
42:00Before.
42:02What do you remember?
42:07I remember everything.
42:12I remember everything.
42:22I remember everything.
