Castle Season 4 Episode 15 - Full
Transcript
00:00You
00:30Oh
00:32I had the most
00:34Exquisite class this evening my students are rehearsing in the boxing scene from who's afraid of virginia wolf
00:40I'm just glad they were using your studio and not my living room. Oh
00:45You're making me your fabulous pasta carbonaro
00:50You shouldn't have I didn't actually it's for Alexis. She's just been you know so busy lately. I thought we'd
00:57Reconnect so my favorite dish and then a screening of saw for the director's cut
01:02Ah I hate to tell you this darling, but she won't be here. What do you mean? What else would she be? She's starting a new internship
01:09Another one she did say she wanted to try a few things to find her passion
01:13It's nine o'clock. What kind of passion is she finding at this time of night?
01:20Uh-huh there
01:22I'll change your subject
01:26What is this internship exactly Richard Alexis swore me to secrecy. Yes, but as her father
01:31My lips are sealed then you won't be using them to eat my
01:36Pastor carbonara. All right. Well, let me say this this internship has my personal seal of approval
01:44That doesn't make me feel any better
01:46Truth is the internship isn't the problem. It's the fact she now has three of them
01:52Yeah, well, you never know Castle this might be the one that brings the two of you closer together somehow
01:55I doubt it best I can open her now as she learns to become more of an underachiever
02:00Yeah, well, I'm sure you'll be able to give her some tips
02:02So neighbors heard a hellacious fight and then our victim here sailed out of that fourth-floor window
02:07Was that his apartment? We're checking, but it doesn't look like it tenants don't recognize him. He doesn't have any ID
02:12No ID but lots of causes of death you mean other than gravity. Oh, yeah
02:18See that bullet wound
02:20So he was shot before he fell and stabbed
02:23Shot and stabbed and choked and has a pencil jammed in the side of his neck. Well gives new meaning to the term overkill
02:30Did anyone see his attacker?
02:32We're checking with witnesses, but I figured that our perp slipped out of the building during all the confusion. All right, let's go see what they got
02:42Hey Alexis. Hey
02:45Alexis
02:47Hey, dad
02:48What are you doing here?
02:51Is this your new internship?
02:53Dr. Parrish agreed to let me shadow her
02:55I thought if I go to med school, this will give me a better grasp of forensic pathology
02:59I've learned so much in just two days
03:03Why wouldn't you tell me?
03:04I guess I was afraid you'd veto it
03:06Like maybe you'd think me being here was invading your territory or
03:09What? It's crazy. I wouldn't think that that's
03:15This is great. Yeah, I just I don't know if you should be exposed to crime scenes and dead bodies
03:20I'm already used to it. It's equal parts gross and cool. I heard that and I couldn't agree with you more
03:26I finally get why you're into this dad now. I'm into it, too
03:31It's great
03:35All right, my worlds are colliding you mean alexa
03:40You know about this? Come on castle
03:41You're the one who said you wanted to find a way of spending more time with her not like this
03:46This is my thing. This is our thing
03:48It's a violation of church and state. This would be like me just showing up at her school and teaching
03:53I really think that you're overreacting
03:55But what if i'm not?
03:57What if this upsets the delicate synergy of our partnership? What if it undermines our unit cohesion?
04:02See major problem not that this
04:05A lot of blood one of our witnesses saw a man leaving the building. He was limping
04:10The suspect was injured and the trail goes that way
04:17A brutal killer betrayed by the frailty of his own flesh
04:21His path revealed by that most primal stain
04:25Except the path ends here
04:27Multiple drops in one spot. He must have stood here for a minute
04:32You got into a car
04:34Well, if he did maybe he got caught on tape
04:37First 911 call came in 842 just after our victim crash landed
04:41So our guy probably made it to the corner a minute or two later
04:45Hey, pretty cool about alexa's internship
04:50Or not
04:52Here that's gotta be him
04:55He's wounded the cops are after him and he's looking for a place to go
05:00He's got a hostage
05:02Track the taxi off the medallion number find out where it went
05:04N.Y.P. in the air
05:09N.Y.P. hands in the air
05:10Get up
05:11Get up
05:11Get up
05:12Hands in the air
05:13Get up
05:14Get up
05:14Put your hands in your head
05:19Hands in your head now
05:21Drop your knees
05:29Thomas Gage
05:30For the record have I advised you of your rights
05:36Yes
05:38Including your right to an attorney
05:41I won't need one
05:45Do you recognize this man?
05:49Looks like he took a nasty fall
05:50Well, he had a little help
05:52Fingerprint evidence will show that he was thrown out a window
05:56By you
05:57After which
05:59You kidnapped Tina Massey in full view of a security camera
06:02Murder plus kidnapping that equals more years in prison than you have left
06:06Unless you cooperate
06:14Everything that you have on me
06:17Or you think you have
06:19It's all going away
06:23And we're done here
06:26This guy should be sweating bullets
06:30This doesn't feel right
06:31It's like he knows something we don't
06:33I want you to pull everything you can on Thomas Gage
06:35Problem is that's not his real name
06:37His driver's license is bogus and his prints aren't in the system
06:40Bottom line is we have no idea who this man is
06:47The guy was super calm the whole time
06:49Not big on chit chat either
06:51His opening line was get your ass in the cab or I'll kill you
06:54And what about when you went back to your apartment? What did he talk about?
06:57After he promised not to murder me he asked me to patch up his leg
07:00He had a real gash
07:02Could you tell how he got the injury?
07:03He said he got slashed with a knife
07:06While he was killing a guy
07:07And he admitted that to you?
07:09More like just made the statement
07:11And did he say who this guy was or why he killed him?
07:15All he told me was that the man doesn't exist
07:18The man doesn't exist as far as I can tell
07:23So you haven't ID'd him yet?
07:24Look I'm trying but his fingerprints aren't in any database
07:27Which is weird because I thought for sure he'd have a criminal record
07:30How come?
07:30It's not the first time this guy's mixed it up
07:32Old gunshot wounds, calloused hands from martial arts training
07:35More broken bones than Evil Knievel
07:37You're not going to believe his x-rays
07:43Where's my John Doe?
07:44Where's my John Doe?
07:50He was right there when I left
07:52I was only gone a minute
07:53I know he was right there
07:54I was just about to cut him open
07:56Well
07:58Now he really doesn't exist
08:00How does a body just vanish from a morgue?
08:02I don't know
08:03But Thomas Gage does
08:04Remember what he said
08:05Whatever you think you have is going away
08:07He's in on this
08:09I suppose did Gage get transferred to central booking yet?
08:11No he's still holding
08:12He's gonna give us some answers
08:14Where is this guy?
08:25He was here
08:26I secured him myself
08:30Lock down the precinct
08:31All right
08:32Move
08:43Hey Dad
08:45I tried the wait up
08:46But you must have gotten in really late
08:48Not by choice
08:49Our suspect pulled a Houdini
08:50So they locked down the entire station
08:53But by then
08:53Mysterious steely killer
08:54Going by the nom de guerre of Thomas Gage
08:57Was long gone
08:59Writing up notes on this case
09:01Solid gold material for my next book
09:03Wait the guy who threw John Doe out the window
09:05He escaped?
09:05Uh huh
09:06But only after
09:08Orchestrating the theft of John Doe's body from the morgue
09:11How awesome is that?
09:12Not so awesome if you're the person who let it happen
09:14Well honey it's not your fault
09:16I was with that body
09:17But a friend called and I stepped away to talk
09:19I didn't
09:20Hang on listen to me
09:21I'm glad you weren't there
09:24Because the kind of person who took John Doe's body
09:26Is the kind of person who wouldn't think twice about hurting whoever got in the way
09:30Still I thought working with Dr. Parrish there'd be zero chance
09:33I'd make a mistake that would affect a patient
09:35I mean how could I right?
09:37Well I found a way
09:40You know honey
09:41If this internship isn't the right fit
09:45I'm sure Laney would understand
09:47No
09:48Dr. Parrish gave me this opportunity and I want to see it through
09:55Well
09:56The apartment where John Doe was killed we think Thomas Gage was squatting there
10:00I don't care where Gage was unless it tells me where he is now
10:04But I'm very interested in knowing how he got out of that holding cell on your watch
10:08We're not clear on that sir
10:10But we do know how he left this precinct
10:12I assume he snuck out of the back exit
10:17Actually he went out through the front door
10:19This is him heading to the lobby
10:25Where did this man get a uniform?
10:27He stole it from the locker room
10:30Find out what else he did
10:32Check out security video and retrace his steps
10:34I want to know every move that he made
10:36Okay
10:38Gage has been two steps ahead of us this whole time
10:41Not only that but he must have a partner who took John Doe from the moor
10:44Which still doesn't explain why he ended up wearing those blues
10:49Why risk stealing a uniform when he could have just walked out of the building?
10:52I'll tell you why
10:53He needed something inside our precinct
10:55The guy got into our database
10:58Looking for what?
10:59Not what?
11:00Not what?
11:01Who?
11:05Tracy McGrath of Queens
11:07He ran her name and I think I know why
11:09Her address is unlisted
11:11What if getting arrested was part of Gage's plan?
11:14So he could access our data for Tracy's address
11:17All right you guys pull up everything you can on Tracy Castle and I'll go over there now
11:20Okay
11:24Her phone's going straight to voicemail
11:26What is her connection to all this?
11:28Why is Gage so interested in her?
11:30With any luck she knows who Gage really is
11:32Tracy McGrath?
11:44NYPD
11:51Castle
11:52Espo?
12:03Yeah we got here too late
12:05Ah she's got one to the back of the head
12:07Can you call Laney get her to bring CSU down here?
12:10Yeah I'm on it
12:12Captain Gates looks like Tracy McGrath was Gage's next victim
12:15What do we know about her?
12:16Well she's 33 no family a scientist at a research foundation
12:20All right talk to her co-workers find out why Gage would have wanted her dead
12:26Looks like she's been here a while
12:28Yeah well it makes sense
12:29Gage escaped last night he had a 10 hour lead on us
12:33You stay put I'm gonna check the rest of the place
12:46You stay put I'm gonna check the rest of the house
13:03Castle
13:14Where is everybody?
13:15We usually beat the uniforms to the scene
13:17It's not like they want to hurry and stand around
13:20Just so you know I'm not letting this victim out of my sight
13:23Crazy
13:24What is?
13:24The fact that Richard Castle a man unburdened by regret and guilt has a child that carries the weight of the world
13:30It is not on you that a dead man came up missing
13:33Well how often does something like that happen anyway?
13:35It never happens honey so relax it was a freak thing bodies just don't disappear
13:40Here
13:41Detective Beckett
13:44Detective Beckett
13:48Okay I see where the blood stain is
13:50Where's the body?
13:57You okay?
13:58Yeah you?
14:01Who are you?
14:01Where the hell are you taking us?
14:09Wherever it is
14:10It's way down
14:11What is this place?
14:23What is this place?
14:28Uh
14:28I don't know I have no idea
14:31Rick Castle at a loss for words?
14:36That must be a first for you
14:37Sophia Turner
14:43Hello Rick
14:45Welcome to the CIA
14:49Yeah that's her
14:51Tracy's worked for me at the Newton Foundation for five years
14:54I just talked to her yesterday
14:56We debated the merits of the Chevy Corvair
14:59She's a classic car buff
15:02She was
15:03What kind of work did Tracy do exactly?
15:05It wouldn't get you killed if that's what you're asking
15:09Tracy had a PhD in applied mathematics
15:11She'd been developing statistical models to predict the effects of climate change
15:16Did she have any enemies?
15:17Anybody who might want to do her harm?
15:18None that I know of
15:20Hold on
15:22It was something yesterday
15:24She left the office rather suddenly about three o'clock
15:27She didn't check in with me she was just gone for two hours
15:30That wasn't like her
15:32Do you have any idea where she went?
15:34No, and when I asked she didn't seem to want to tell me
15:38We're gonna need access to her computer, her emails, her documents, everything
15:42It's all on our server
15:43I can log into there from here
15:46Secret underground headquarters?
15:48This is straight out of James Bond
15:52Castle you're avoiding the question
15:54Who's Sophia Turner? How do you know her?
15:56That's a long story
15:58Well, I'll take the short version
16:00Let me give it to you
16:02What has it been?
16:0412 years?
16:0411 and a half
16:07Rick and I met when he was just beginning to do research on his first Derek Storm novel
16:12He wanted an up close and personal look at the life of a female CIA agent
16:16So I gave him one
16:24You're Clara Strike? The Clara Strike from the Derek Storm books?
16:28I wouldn't say that I am Clara Strike, but I'd like to think that I inspired Rick in some small way
16:35Well, that is just fascinating
16:39You look good
16:39You too
16:40Okay, so I hate to interrupt this reunion, but we're being illegally detained
16:44At least I am
16:46This is not a detention
16:47This is a debriefing approved by the NYPD
16:51Feel free to call Ted McQuinn
16:52The Chief of Detectives
16:54He assured me you'd give us your full cooperation
16:56I need to know everything you know about Thomas Gage
16:59No, not until you tell me what the hell is going on here
17:05Fine
17:06Well, that would be getting into highly classified information regarding national security
17:11Which if you were to reveal it to anyone
17:13Would be considered a treasonable offense against the United States of America
17:16Punishable by death
17:18So
17:19Still want to know?
17:22We recruited Thomas Gage out of SEAL Team 6 in 1997
17:27Smart, highly trained, fluent in 11 languages
17:30Gage was our most effective asset
17:32We sent him into conflict zones, failed states all over the world
17:36Gage was adept in every situation
17:38Unfortunately, he went rogue
17:42Based on NSA intercepts, we believe that Gage is trying to initiate a catastrophic event
17:46Which poses an imminent threat to the country
17:48So, that man that Gage pushed out the window, he was CIA
17:53Gary Harper, one of our best
17:54We got a tip on Gage's whereabouts, we sent Harper to bring him in
17:57Obviously, that operation didn't go as planned
18:00At which point, you took the body from the morgue
18:03This is a national security crisis
18:06We didn't want the NYPD underfoot
18:08Well, good to know
18:09So, how did you guys get on to Tracy McGrath?
18:11We monitored data from your precinct
18:13Her name came up, but unfortunately, by the time our agent got there, she was already dead
18:17So, why did Gage kill her?
18:18We were hoping you would know
18:21You can go ahead and answer that
18:22Yeah, I was planning on it
18:24Do you mind terribly putting it on speaker?
18:28Espo, you're on speaker?
18:29Yeah, so, uh, word came down from Chief Adiz
18:32They said you were on some kind of special assignment
18:35What's that about?
18:38That's a long story, what do you got on Tracy McGrath?
18:40It may be nothing, but she ditched work yesterday for two hours
18:43She has a notation in her day planner, but all it says is Pandora
18:48You know what, let me get back to you
18:49What's Pandora?
18:55According to the chatter, Pandora is the code name for Gage's mission
18:59Which means that the McGrath woman is mixed up in it
19:02Now the two of you know as much as we do
19:04Look, you have done impressive work on this case
19:06I want you to take the lead in finding Thomas Gage
19:08Sophia
19:09Martin, we are up against the wall
19:12CIA is barred from domestic investigation
19:14Well, isn't that what the FBI is for?
19:16Thomas Gage is a hired gun, we don't know who he works for or how deep this goes
19:20All I am asking is that you continue your investigation
19:24And we will share all information we get on him
19:27And what's the catch?
19:28That you do the same
19:29And that you report only to me
19:31This has to stay between us
19:32Our techs have uploaded icons on both your phones
19:34Which will connect you to my direct line
19:36You've seen what Gage is capable of
19:38He's one of our most dangerous operatives
19:39And I have no doubt that whatever he is planning
19:42He is completely capable of carrying out
19:46I wouldn't put you in this position
19:48This man has to be stopped
19:52Can I count on you for your help?
19:54Yes
19:54You realize what this means?
20:08We're spies
20:09This is like being in a Jason Bourne movie
20:11Only he's the bad guy and the CIA are the good guys
20:14That remains to be seen
20:15Oh wait, I've got to see those direct dial icons they put on our phones
20:20Hey, why is mine a panic button?
20:26I guess she really does know you well
20:29Okay, you're upset
20:30I'm not upset
20:31Then what are you?
20:32I am just a little bit uncomfortable with the new command structure
20:36I don't like keeping secrets from my own people
20:38You're sure this isn't about Sophia?
20:40No, why would it be?
20:41Oh, I don't know
20:42Maybe because I based a character on her
20:44Don't flatter yourself, Castle
20:45It's not that big an honor
20:46Good, because Sophia is on our side
20:48We're on the same team
20:50And that doesn't concern you?
20:51You don't think that that will undermine our unit cohesion?
20:55Hey, I'm willing to let that slide in the interest of national security
21:01Well, I guess I am too
21:06It's just I might have been a little bit taken aback to find out that you had
21:10researched with someone else
21:14Look, it was never the way it is with you and me
21:17I just hung out with her for a while to lend some authenticity to Clara Strike
21:22It was a brief moment a long time ago
21:26Besides, Nikki Heat is a far more complex and nuanced character
21:32She is
21:33And I'm a far more experienced writer
21:35One tour
21:37One out of twos
21:40So how long did the two of you hang out?
21:43A year, that's your idea of a brief moment
21:50I was young
21:50I was young and she had a lot to teach me
21:52Yeah, I'll bet
21:53About the shadowy world of espionage
21:55Let me ask you this
21:56How many other women have you semi-stalked in the name of research?
22:01Is this a trick question?
22:02You know what? I don't even want to know
22:03Detective Beckett, Mr. Castle
22:06Good of you to drop by
22:08So, tell me about this special assignment of yours
22:11I'm afraid of cancer
22:13Excuse me?
22:14Yes, it's on a need-to-know basis
22:19And I need to know
22:21Sir, I think that the chief of detectives would back me up on this one
22:28Well, we'll see about that
22:33Did you see how mad she was?
22:35God, that was so good
22:37So, seriously, what's going on?
22:39Guys, I'm sorry, we really can't talk about it
22:41Come on, this is us
22:44No, hey, sorry, boys
22:47Classified
22:48Top secret
22:49Our eyes only, DEFCON 1
22:52And if I did tell you
22:54Well, then I'd have to kill you
22:56Yeah, good luck with that
22:57Yeah, realistically, that's not
22:58I'm gonna go on record and say that this sucks
23:00It sucks
23:00And noted
23:01Now, let's move on to Tracy McGrath
23:03Where'd she go after she left work?
23:04Well, according to her easy pass
23:06She drove down the Jersey Turnpike
23:08And exited somewhere near Newark Airport
23:10We're still trying to figure out where she went
23:11Maybe the answer's still at the crime scene
23:15There's no signs of forced entry or struggle
23:17It's like she knew our killer
23:19She let him in
23:20She walked in front of him
23:21And he shot her in the back of the head
23:23Which means she knew Gage
23:25So, how is a climate scientist
23:28Mixed up with a ruthless ex-CIA agent?
23:30And how is she connected to Pandora?
23:32There's got to be something here that ties them together
23:43Well, she has excellent taste in cars
23:46With an auto repair manual for a 1967 Pontiac GTO
23:50That's funny
23:52Keys are sitting on a pile of yesterday's mail
23:56She drove it before she died
23:58Except there's no GTO in the street
24:00Or in the garage, so where's the car?
24:01I see recurring charge on her credit card
24:04Looks like she's paying a hundred bucks a month for Frenchy's parking
24:09A hundred bucks, that's not gonna get you a space in Manhattan
24:11Bingo, billing info says that Frenchy's is in Elizabeth Port, New Jersey
24:14That's right near Newark Airport
24:16So the mystery ride Tracy took has to do with the GTO
24:20There it is
24:21Now that is some classic Motor City iron
24:24400 cubic inches with a Rochester 4 barrel and 360 horsepower
24:29You know muscle cars?
24:31Oh yeah
24:33We should go to the track sometime, Castle
24:35See who laps who
24:36So why do you think Tracy took off work to come down here?
24:43Maybe to drive it to a clandestine Pandora-related uh, rendezvous?
24:48No, look at the dust on this
24:50This hasn't gone anywhere in a while
24:54Castle, look
24:55Maybe she came to stash something in the trunk
24:59Handprints indicating someone's been in there
25:01Yeah
25:04That is not original equipment
25:06No, but it's probably why she came here
25:09Oh, wait, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute
25:12We don't know what's in there
25:13Yeah, well there's only one way to find out
25:15Yeah, but it might be Pandora
25:17As in Pandora's box
25:19As in opening that could unleash an unstoppable tide of evil
25:22Castle, that's a myth
25:24I'm speaking metaphorically
25:25Gage is planning a catastrophic event, right?
25:28So what if there's a doomsday device in that case set to go off when you open it?
25:32And Ground Zero is a parking garage in New Jersey?
25:35I doubt it
25:36I just
25:43That is a military-grade cell phone and a scrambler
25:45That's spy equipment
25:46Tracy came here to make a phone call
25:48And I bet you the last number she dialed is still on the phone
25:52Close the case and turn around
25:54Hands in the air
25:58Gage
26:02The weapon and phone's on the ground
26:06Really?
26:07You put your hands in the air
26:10Whoa
26:12The phone's on the ground
26:13I just upgraded this is a brand new phone
26:15No
26:23I'm afraid you're not going to like what comes next
26:33Castle
26:38Castle, what are you doing?
26:40Bracing myself to shield you from a hail of bullets
26:42It was very gallant of you, but you can stop bracing. I think you left
26:47Oh, man, my life was passing before my eyes. I think I lost track of time
26:51What do you know about trunk latches?
26:54Um
26:56Well, bad news is this one was not designed to open from the inside
27:01The good news?
27:02At least this time we're not handcuffed together
27:04Not surprisingly roomy in here
27:06Well, it's not that roomy. Sooner or later we're gonna run out of air
27:09Gotta get out of here
27:10Well, maybe somebody will find us
27:12Castle, we are locked in the trunk of a car in long-term parking
27:17It's gonna be hours before anyone realizes that we're missing
27:20Who do you think is gonna find us?
27:22I just feel in situations like this it's important to have faith
27:28You pressed the panic button, didn't you?
27:29Well, if there was ever a time to panic, I think this is it
27:33You should be thanking me
27:34No, I am not gonna be rescued by your girlfriend
27:38Move, castle
27:39What are you getting?
27:40Get under there
27:41Hey
27:42Hey
27:42What are you doing?
27:44I got it
27:45What?
27:46This
27:46Here
27:49Is it in?
27:50To the left
27:51Okay
27:51Push
27:52Scoot down
27:58Yes
27:59Nice
27:59For you
28:10For you
28:10I believe this is yours
28:18Agent Jones found it in the parking structure
28:22Finding the car was great work
28:24It might just be the brake we need
28:26I can't take all the credit
28:27Yeah, especially since it was Detective Ryan who found it
28:30Well, in any case, the phone is obviously key
28:32or else Gage wouldn't have gone after it
28:34Well, Tracy McGrath used it on the day she died
28:36Maybe she called someone connected to Pandora
28:39And then Gage eliminated her and took the phone to tie off all loose ends
28:43Which still doesn't explain where Gage is now or who Tracy called
28:48Well, we'll find that out once we track the call she made
28:50But Gage took the phone
28:52How can you do that when you don't know what number she called
28:54Or even the number she called it from
28:56By using all the coolest toys
29:00Bring up Newton Foundation to Frenchy's parking
29:02Commute time by car at 3 p.m. yesterday via the turnpike
29:1041 minutes there was a fender bender on the gw bridge
29:14Factoring the time it would have taken her to get to her car
29:16Let's say she got there at 3 45 p.m.
29:18Pull up all cell phone traffic for the next 15 minutes
29:21Call would have hanged off the nearest cell tower
29:25This guy at the south end of the newark airport which process
29:305,429 calls in the 15 minute time frame
29:33Filtered to calls just to new york and new jersey
29:36That takes us to 4,112
29:38Now just pay phones and unregistered cells
29:43Down to 712
29:44Calls under a minute she would have kept it brief
29:49We're at 42
29:50Okay now triangulate those 42 signals and let's see which one originates closest to that parking structure
29:55Got it
30:04Yesterday at 3 56 p.m. This call pinged off the tower and was routed to a payphone in brooklyn
30:10Uh intersection of plymouth and gold
30:12Wow
30:13It's got to be the number trace mcgrath call get me eyes on that payphone any local surveillance from yesterday at 3 56 p.m
30:19Found one isolating now there's a video at 3 56 p.m
30:27Zoom in
30:29He's got a scrambler that's our guy
30:34Looks familiar
30:37Freeze there
30:40Oh my god
30:41It's impossible
30:43He's supposed to be dead
30:46Who is he?
30:47Dr. Nelson Blakely
30:49Mathematics professor
30:51He was a legend at the agency
30:53Genius
30:54Consulted for us
30:55But died in 2002
30:57Or at least that's what we thought until just now
31:00So he faked his own death
31:02This just keeps getting better
31:03No, it doesn't
31:04Not with what this man is capable of
31:06Blakely designed math-based predictive models for us
31:09Models to help create geopolitical change
31:11What do you mean by that?
31:12The agency would bring him a problem
31:14How can we prevent country A from getting the bomb or cause regime change in country B?
31:20Blakely found solutions using what he called linchpin theory
31:24His approach was to find a small event that could trigger a large event
31:29Like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand causing world war one
31:32Exactly
31:33He once said that you only had to knock over one domino
31:36But if it was the right domino
31:37The rest would fall
31:41Blakely is the one who planned Pandora
31:42This is beyond a worst case scenario
31:44Blakely is just a higher gun
31:46Like Gage
31:47He's not the one behind this
31:49Agent Turner
31:49I've got it
31:50The video is clean enough to track his elite movement
31:53What's he saying?
31:56Meet me Thursday at 5 p.m. Bishop A5
32:01Bishop C4
32:02Fon E3
32:04Chess moves?
32:06Blakely was a world-class chess player
32:07It's some sort of code
32:10Run that pattern against anything in the encryption database
32:12This takes us into a sensitive area
32:21For your eyes only
32:23I get it
32:25Thank you so much for your help
32:27Agent Jones will show you
32:29Wait a minute
32:30What about Gage?
32:31We need to invest all of our resources into finding Blakely
32:33He's the weak link here
32:34Right, but if you find something on Gage, you'll let us know
32:37Absolutely
32:38We're in this together
32:42You know what I think?
32:48I think we should crack that chess code
32:49See how you can handle the castle
32:51With their track record?
32:52I'm not so sure
32:55Just saying
32:56Let me decipher that code
32:59We can save this country from a nameless cataclysmic event
33:02Look, if you want to go after Blakely, go ahead
33:05I'm a homicide detective
33:06I have to find Thomas Gage
33:08And I can't do that by answering to Sophia Turner
33:10What do you mean?
33:11He killed two people, Castle
33:13Do you think she even cares about that?
33:14No, she's got a whole different agenda
33:16Yeah, like saving the world
33:17We're all on the same team here
33:19No, you're on her team
33:21Because the way you look at her
33:22You're sure as hell not on mine
33:27Seriously?
33:28This is a secure facility
33:29We need to keep it that way
33:31I just had a talk with Alexis
33:42I am so pleased you were on board with this internship
33:45Because I was forced to be on board
33:47How could you let that happen, Mother?
33:49Oh, darling, don't be silly
33:50And you're just in a foul mood
33:51Because you had a spat with Beckett
33:52I'm not in a
33:54How did you find out about that?
33:56No, wait, let me guess
33:58Beckett to Lainey to Alexis to you
34:01See, this
34:02This is what I was afraid of
34:05For your information, we did not have a spat
34:07I simply chose to work at home today
34:10On a case involving vanishing bodies and special assignments
34:16Really? She told you that too?
34:18Is nothing sacred?
34:19Not much
34:20Yes, well, in any event, I'm not allowed to discuss it
34:23Oh, please, when has that stopped you before?
34:25Well, clearly it's time I start setting some boundaries around here
34:28All right
34:30I can't tell you this much
34:31I'm working on a code involving these three chess pieces
34:35The answer to which could avert a catastrophe
34:37Two bishops and a pawn
34:39What could it mean?
34:40I don't know
34:41I've been looking up classic strategies
34:43I've looked up famous chess matches with Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov
34:46But this pattern never occurs
34:49Maybe the pieces have nothing to do with the chess game
34:51Maybe the pieces represent something else entirely
35:08Yo, Beckett
35:11Nothing on Gage, but remember you asked me to look for a link between Tracy McGrath and some guy named Nelson Blakely?
35:16Yeah
35:16I found one from ten years ago
35:18Tracy and a bunch of a grad student friends went on a whitewater rafting trip with a
35:23Dr. Blakely, the professor, although it wasn't a good time for him
35:26He drowned during the trip
35:28So he faked his death and Tracy was in on it
35:33Who faked his death?
35:34Blakely
35:36I'm sorry, I can't tell you
35:40You know, a man can only take so much
35:46Hey
35:46Hey, what are you doing here?
35:48I found something
35:49It's about Blakely
35:51Well, shouldn't you tell Sofia about it?
35:53She isn't my partner
35:55You are
36:00May I?
36:06All right
36:07Bishop, Bishop, Pawn
36:11We know Blakely was a world-class chess player
36:12Tracy McGrath played too
36:14She had a game timer
36:15Yet this placement makes no tactical sense
36:18I'm guessing you got a theory?
36:19I don't think the pieces have anything to do with the game
36:21I think Blakely was leaving Tracy a coded message telling her where to meet him
36:26Maybe even a place where they play chess
36:28Okay, well, uh, people play chess in parks
36:31Central Park, Washington Square Park
36:34Those would be great places to meet up with someone without drawing attention
36:37Exactly
36:37Now, what if each piece stood for the first letter of a word?
36:42Bishop for B, Pawn for P
36:44Okay, B and then seven spaces
36:45That could be
36:47Brooklyn
36:49And Blakely made his phone call from Brooklyn
36:50So Brooklyn, BBP
36:52Uh, Brooklyn
36:54Bridge Park
36:56That meeting is at five o'clock
36:57That's in half an hour
36:58If Blakely shows
37:00We can find out what Pandora is
37:01And we can find Gage
37:04What do you say?
37:12Blakely should have been here by now
37:15Maybe he knows that Tracy's dead or maybe Gage already killed him
37:19Choose the audacity of hope
37:21I say he'll be here
37:24Shouldn't you call Sophia?
37:26And look like an ass if I'm wrong?
37:29You know, I have to admit
37:30I'm actually kind of surprised that you've never mentioned her before
37:33I wasn't allowed to
37:34She is an active CIA agent
37:36I see
37:37Look, if you want
37:39I will answer any question you have about her
37:42Anything at all?
37:43No, thanks
37:45Are you sure?
37:46Yeah, I mean it's really none of my business
37:49Okay, well I'm done with it then
37:51Fine
37:59So
38:01How close were the two of you exactly?
38:03There he is
38:08Come on Castle, you said I could ask you anything
38:09No, seriously, there he is
38:14Dr. Blakely
38:17I'm afraid you've mistaken me for someone else
38:20No, there is no mistake
38:24How did you find me?
38:25Through Tracy
38:28She's dead
38:30If they got to her, they can get to me
38:31We need leave here now
38:39I always knew this day would come
38:42But Tracy
38:43Dr. Blakely, what's going on?
38:45What's Pandora?
38:47I need you to drive me to Pier 32
38:49You're not in a position to bargain
38:51I got in this car voluntarily and I'll get right back out
38:53If you don't take me where I want to go
38:55Okay, what's at Pier 32?
38:58Once we're there
39:00I'll tell you what you want to know
39:01You were top of your field
39:06A professor, an advisor for the CIA
39:08Why fake your own death?
39:11I brought down nations for the agency
39:14I played God, but my linchpin theory didn't factor in the human cost
39:19I knew they'd never let me leave, so I died
39:23And was reborn
39:25And the only one who knew was Tracy
39:27She was my lifeline
39:28She steered consulting work my way
39:31I helped reduce cholera in Africa
39:34I predicted that a lone act of civil disobedience would trigger an uprising
39:38And remake the Arab world
39:40I did good things
39:47Who killed her?
39:48The same man that's trying to pull off Pandora
39:52You mean they're trying to make it happen
39:56This is even worse than I thought
40:07All right, talk
40:08I need to go inside first
40:10You're not going anywhere until you tell me about Pandora
40:12What is it?
40:12It was the name of a white paper that I wrote
40:17Wrong
40:18I was hired by a think tank to identify weaknesses in US security so they could be shored up, protected
40:26I found an alarming vulnerability
40:30A linchpin that was tied to the economy that would cause crisis and devastation beyond anything we'd ever seen
40:38The dominoes would just never stop falling
40:42I asked Tracy to follow up with the think tank, but they don't exist
40:46Whoever they are, I gave them the blueprint that will bring about the end of our country as we know it
40:51Dr. Blankley, what's the linchpin?
41:00A flock of pigeons
41:04Blankley, the linchpin, what is it?
41:06Pigeons don't fly in flocks unless they're fleeing a predator, they're here
41:15Wait, wait, wait
41:16Hey, Blankley
41:22Come on! Come on!
41:25Hold on, Castle! Hold on!
41:28Hold on, Castle!
