Transcript
00:00The End
00:30You are very beautiful, Nicky Hit.
00:41It is too bad that I have to kill you now.
00:44Uglier men than you have tried, Drago.
00:47You have surrept me.
00:50I will not have...
00:51Playing with dolls, are we?
00:53These are action figures.
00:54I am using them to envision a scene.
00:57I owe a few chapters of frozen heat to my editor, and I've not been able to write a page.
01:02Maybe a case with Beckett might, you know, spark something.
01:05She's prepping for a trial.
01:07That's the mail?
01:08Oh, yeah, yeah.
01:09Thank God Alexis is finally getting some college acceptance letters.
01:13Her friends started getting them weeks ago.
01:18Richard Castle, what on earth are you playing at?
01:21I don't want Alexis to have to live through that Stanford rejection nightmare again,
01:26so I'm holding the letters.
01:28This way she gets them all at once, and she'll get all the good news with the bad.
01:31Richard, that is the dumbest idea you've ever had.
01:34Now you've got to give her these letters before she has a nervous breakdown.
01:37Okay, I will. I will.
01:39You have to admit, watching her have a nervous breakdown is pretty funny.
01:42Unlike yours.
01:44Now, what are we going to do about your writing?
01:45Oh, I don't know.
01:46I just need something different.
01:49Something new.
01:50Something like...
01:52severed heads.
01:54Severed heads?
01:55The victim was found shot to death after midnight.
01:58According to police, his back contained three severed heads.
02:02Detective Slaughter, what can you tell us...
02:04Get that camera out of my face before I put a bullet in it!
02:07Oh, mother.
02:10Forget severed heads.
02:11I want to meet that guy.
02:13You already have a muse, darling.
02:15Yes, well, muses are to provide inspiration.
02:17And right now, I ain't getting any.
02:19So, Detective Nikki Heat?
02:22Meet Detective Slaughter.
02:24Do you know what?
02:25Park that in the conference room.
02:29Hey.
02:30Castle, what are you doing here?
02:32I just haven't seen you in a few days.
02:33Thought I'd drop by and say, how are you doing?
02:35That's so sweet.
02:36I'm great, actually.
02:38The trial prep is going really well.
02:40I've been getting home at a decent hour.
02:42And it's great to see you.
02:44It's good to see you, too.
02:45Hey, listen.
02:46Do you know anything about this gang cop named Slaughter?
02:48The severed heads homicide?
02:50That's why you're here?
02:52No, I mean, just since you're busy prepping for the trial, I just thought I'd look into
02:56this Slaughter guy.
02:57Just get a sense of who he is for the background research.
03:02Unless that's a problem.
03:05No, not a problem.
03:06Great.
03:07So, where would I find him?
03:10Wherever the body is.
03:16Darling, you might as well confess.
03:18I know you killed him so we could spend some quality time together.
03:22Not if you were the last man on Earth.
03:24I think I'm not up to the challenge.
03:26How about we skip the macho fantasy and I just tell you cause of death?
03:29Let me guess.
03:29Lead poisoning?
03:30Three shots to the chest.
03:32Most likely died of blood loss within minutes.
03:34I almost figured Glitch would end up on this table.
03:37Glitch, that's his street name on a guy.
03:38He's such a screw up.
03:39You fish the slugs out for me?
03:43See, you do love me.
03:4632s, I'm guessing?
03:49You're talking about the bullets, right?
03:50Yeah.
03:51Aren't you going to ask about the heads?
03:53Who the hell are you?
03:55That's Castle.
03:56He's a writer and he consults with the 12.
03:58It's weird.
03:59You can tell they aren't fresh.
04:00I can smell it.
04:01Formaldehyde with a sous-solve decay.
04:04Judging from the dirt and the hair, I'd say our victim dug the bodies up and then cut
04:07the heads off.
04:08No kidding, Sherlock.
04:10I already got unis checking out the local cemeteries.
04:12Not that it's any of your business.
04:14Rick Castle.
04:15And like Laura said, I work under the 1-2 with Detective Beckett.
04:19Here's the thing.
04:20I was hoping I could ride along with you on this one just for a day or two.
04:24No.
04:25No?
04:25I need a writer hanging around like I need a case of the crabs.
04:29That's...
04:30What can I say to change your mind?
04:34That is a very fine coat.
04:38And it would look fabulous on you.
04:50So, are we good?
04:52No.
04:53See you, gorgeous.
04:54You said I could ride along if I gave you my coat.
04:59I never said that.
05:00It was implied.
05:01Look, I work alone.
05:02Nothing you say is going to change that.
05:05I'm friends with the mayor.
05:08Yeah?
05:08And seeing as I'm asking you for a favor here, that would mean I would owe you one in return.
05:15Any friend of the mayor is a friend of mine.
05:17What's our first move?
05:18Break the news.
05:19The glitch is dead.
05:20Oh, that was awesome.
05:26Beckett never drives on the sidewalk.
05:28You're going to hang with me.
05:29We're going to lay out some ground rules.
05:30Rule number one, do not use the word awesome.
05:33You're a grown man.
05:34Rule number two, stay out of my way.
05:37Is that it?
05:37It's kind of all-encompassing.
05:41This is the hardest part of the job, breaking the news to the family.
05:45So what's your style?
05:47Terse, yet compassionate?
05:48Sensitive, but strong?
05:50Brian!
05:51Glitch is in the morgue.
05:52Someone pumped three rounds into him.
05:54Uh, sorry for your loss.
05:59My what?
06:00My loss?
06:01Who the hell are you to talk about my loss?
06:03Your boy was into something bad, worse than usual.
06:06What do you know about it?
06:08And why would I tell you, even if I knew?
06:11It involved cutting the heads off of dead guys.
06:13That sound like your boy's brand is stupid.
06:15My son was a simple lad operating in difficult times.
06:19He disparaged his memory at your peril.
06:22Now, I've got to go tell his mom.
06:25Make arrangements.
06:30That's a hard man.
06:31Yeah, you don't get to be top leg breaker in the Westies by being soft.
06:35No wonder he didn't give us anything useful.
06:37Never thought he would.
06:39He's a take the law into your own hands kind of guy.
06:42You think he's going to hunt Dunkley just killing himself?
06:45Yeah, and we're going to follow him.
06:47The tricky part's going to be interceding before he kills the guy.
06:50Let's go.
06:51He's on the move.
06:53Where do you think he's going?
06:56I don't know.
06:56That's why we're following him.
07:01Yeah.
07:03Outstanding.
07:04Uni's found a cemetery.
07:05Wood's got the heads.
07:06Four blocks from the crime scene.
07:08Uh-huh.
07:10Thanks, brother.
07:13Back to the office.
07:13We'll run these names down.
07:14Find out who these heads belong to.
07:16Why wait when I can have my team run them right now?
07:20You got a team?
07:22Hello.
07:23I am texting you three names all recently deceased.
07:25I need you to run for me.
07:26Beckett's not working a case right now.
07:28No, I'm running and gunning with slaughter from gangs.
07:31Then have him run the names.
07:32I don't work for you.
07:33Oh, Esposito.
07:36You are too funny.
07:37He's there, isn't he?
07:39Uh-huh.
07:39All right.
07:40If you want me to make you look good, what's going to cost?
07:43Front row next tickets.
07:47Sounds good.
07:48Oh, and, uh, by the way, your boy Slaughter, he's got quite a reputation in gangs.
07:54His nickname is The Widowmaker.
07:56His last three partners were all killed in the line of duty.
08:02All good?
08:02Yeah.
08:02You think one of those guys could be the killing?
08:08Nah, he's just trolling for info.
08:11Which means we watch and wait.
08:18Ah, well, thanks.
08:21Okay, sure.
08:26So, call you The Widowmaker?
08:30Hey.
08:30It's not my fault they keep sticking me with idiots.
08:34Speaking of partners, I've seen pictures of yours.
08:37She's smoking hot.
08:39You tapping her, right?
08:40What?
08:41No.
08:42No.
08:43What's wrong with you?
08:44What's wrong with me?
08:45We're just friends.
08:46Man needs a friend.
08:47He gets a dog.
08:48Woman like that, you storm the beaches or die trying.
08:51Come on.
08:52He's heading for that bar.
08:53Showtime.
08:54Are you packing?
09:01Packing?
09:02No, I'm not a cop.
09:03My best says writer on it.
09:04Rule number three.
09:05You ride with me, you ride strapped.
09:07Come on.
09:10Hey, hey.
09:11What about regulations?
09:12You signed a waiver, didn't you?
09:14Okay.
09:15You take the front.
09:16I'll go in the back.
09:17Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
09:18Shouldn't we call for backup?
09:19You got a skirt that says writer on it, too?
09:22No.
09:22Come on.
09:23Give me ten seconds, then.
09:24Go in hard.
09:25Yell at NYPD.
09:26The louder, the better.
09:41NYPD!
09:42Associated terminal investigator.
09:44Nobody move!
09:49Drop the gun, dirtbag!
09:54What did you call me?
09:55Dirtbag, dirtbag, dirtbag.
09:57Drop it, or your wife will be getting a volume discount at the mortuary.
10:00Come on.
10:01Sit down.
10:04Get him, Sherlock!
10:16I don't got it, I don't got it, I don't got it.
10:19I don't got it.
10:20Don't help!
10:22You're doing fine.
10:36Well done, Sherlock.
10:37Atta boy.
10:37What's this I hear about Castle researching with another cop?
10:52Don't you have some fives to fill out?
10:55I'm sure it's just a phase.
10:57You know, Castle is probably caught up in the severed heads, in the rush of the gangster squad.
11:01I don't care what he's wrapped up in, just so long as he stays out of my hair.
11:08Thanks.
11:09Put him on ice for me.
11:25Okay.
11:27Keep it in the family, huh?
11:29Where's the interrogation?
11:30First door right there.
11:31Come on, you.
11:31What the hell happened?
11:36You should have seen it.
11:38Slaughter got the drop on the one guy, but the other guy tried to make a break for it.
11:41I had to take his ass down.
11:43You what?
11:44Are you kidding me?
11:45You're a writer, Castle, not a cop.
11:47Yeah, I can take care of myself.
11:49He just never gave me a chance.
11:50Yeah, because I'm not trying to get you killed.
11:51And what is he doing using our box?
11:53Well, I invited him to.
11:55Castle, that's not your place.
11:56I didn't think you'd mind.
11:57Besides, guys like Slaughter, they just float from precinct to precinct, you know?
12:00They're like nomads, wandering the streets of New York City, kicking ass and taking names.
12:07Which isn't the most original turn of praise, but the character is so great.
12:11It's really going to help me shake up this next Nicky Heat book.
12:13Yeah, sure.
12:14If you live long enough to actually write about it.
12:18I didn't kill Glitch.
12:20Then why does father come after you?
12:22I don't know, but you've got to convince him that I'm innocent.
12:24No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:27You've got to convince me.
12:29I'm going to park you in holding and sit back and marvel at how Brian removes your limbs with his bare hands.
12:36I was at my sister's house on Long Island last night.
12:41You can call and ask her.
12:47So why does Brian think you killed his son?
12:52Really, Shane?
12:53Want me to bust out Jake and the fat man again?
13:05Brian heard me and Glitch had a falling out, but we didn't.
13:08It's just...
13:09Finn Rourke told us all to stay away from him.
13:13The head of the Westies made you freeze Glitch out?
13:15Why?
13:16He screwed up another job last week.
13:20He abandoned a truck full of stolen medical equipment on the FDR after he ran out of gas.
13:25The only reason Finn didn't have Glitch killed was Brian.
13:29Because he knew he was crazy enough to go after him if anything happened to his kid.
13:33Why did Glitch have a bag full of hands?
13:36No clue.
13:37When's the last time you saw him?
13:38Two days ago.
13:39He said he was going to do something to get back in good with the Westies.
13:42Did he say what it was?
13:44No.
13:45And I didn't ask.
13:47I could Glitch think they're cutting the heads off dead bodies and getting back in good with the Westies.
13:53If he wasn't a deep thinker, I wouldn't knock myself out looking for motive.
13:57Captain.
13:59Rule four.
14:01Yes.
14:02Oh.
14:03Perfect.
14:05Thank you very much.
14:06Esposito said you'd have something for him.
14:16That's...
14:17Tell them they're on their way.
14:20All right.
14:22Looks like we got IDs on our heads.
14:24All three belong to members of the Trenchtown Posse.
14:27Oh, hot damn.
14:28Mystery solved.
14:29Trenchtown Posse.
14:31Jamaican gang runs girls and drugs from Brooklyn to the Bronx.
14:34They're fighting the turf war with the Westies over the Morningside Heights.
14:37I bet Glitch thought he could make his bones by cutting the heads off of Westie enemies.
14:42But he planned on putting those heads in some high-ranking Jamaican beds.
14:47Like a horse's head.
14:49The Godfather.
14:51Yeah, that's the stupidest thing he's said yet.
14:52He's just dumb enough to seem smart to glitch and knowing that boy he'd run his mouth.
14:57Jamaicans hear about in the ambush.
14:59Come on.
15:02I got a source on the street.
15:03Tied in with the Jamaicans.
15:05He'll be able to give us intel.
15:06I love this run-and-gun police work.
15:11You're upset.
15:12No.
15:13Yes.
15:14Okay, fine.
15:15Yes.
15:15I thought that the two of us were actually getting closer together, and now it seems like he's just pulling away.
15:21Have you asked him why?
15:22Yes.
15:23And he said, oh, everything is fine.
15:26What makes you think it isn't?
15:27Because he's acting like a complete jackass.
15:30He shows up at the precinct with these bimbos hanging on his arm, and now he's running around with another cop.
15:35Is this other cop a woman?
15:36No.
15:36No.
15:37Why would you even ask that?
15:39That's not even the point.
15:40The point is, I don't understand why he's acting like this.
15:43I mean, what did I do?
15:46Well, maybe from his point of view, the question is, what didn't you do?
15:50Wait, what?
15:51What do you mean?
15:52When you were shot, Castle said that he loved you.
15:55How long ago was that?
15:56Seven months ago, but I wasn't ready to hear that then.
15:58What do you think he's telling you with his behavior?
16:00That maybe he's not there anymore?
16:07That maybe he's not ready?
16:19What if I waited too long?
16:21You weren't waiting, Kate.
16:23You were healing.
16:24Yeah, but then in the meantime, he's moved on.
16:27Or he's protecting himself by not taking more emotional risks.
16:31So then what do I do?
16:34What do you want to do?
16:36I'll tell you what I do.
16:39Let go all caveman on that partner of yours.
16:42I'm sure what time it is in real man land.
16:44Real man land?
16:45Mm-hmm.
16:46Oh, is that what you were showing Laura when we were back at the morgue?
16:49Just throw a little attention her away, make her happy.
16:52You know what I'm macking on is this hot new redhead.
16:55Just started working there.
16:56That girl's barely street legal.
17:00Redhead?
17:00Yeah.
17:01About five-five blue eyes, intern?
17:03Yeah.
17:03You know her?
17:05That's my daughter.
17:06Seriously?
17:07That girl got an ass.
17:10Hey.
17:12Relax, Sherlock.
17:13I'm just playing.
17:15All right.
17:16Sounds real clear in my daughter's off limits.
17:19Yeah.
17:20Pack a little punch there for a writer.
17:24There's my guy.
17:32Whoa.
17:34Hold on.
17:35You stay here.
17:36Keep an eye out.
17:58Okay.
17:59I got a name.
18:02What happened in there?
18:03Did you kill him?
18:04You don't want to know.
18:05We were never here.
18:25What are you doing?
18:26Cheese!
18:28You okay?
18:30That guy's insane.
18:31Yeah, I know.
18:32I tried to tell you.
18:32No.
18:33He's insane.
18:34Why?
18:35What do you do?
18:37Jesus!
18:43I can't talk now.
18:49I want those tickets.
18:53Hey.
18:54What's up?
18:55What are you talking about?
18:56What are you talking about?
18:56What are you talking about?
18:57Where?
18:59Oh, there.
18:59Um, nothing.
19:02I mean, obviously not nothing.
19:04We were talking.
19:05We were just moving her.
19:10I gotta go to the bathroom.
19:11I'm going to go to the bathroom.
19:12I'm going to go to the bathroom.
19:25I'm going to go to the bathroom.
19:26I'm going to go to the bathroom.
19:27What the hell?
19:27I thought you killed him.
19:29You should have seen the look on your face when I came out that door.
19:32That's not funny.
19:36That's not funny.
19:37No.
19:38No, it's hysterical.
19:48Look at him.
19:49Laughing it up.
19:50Just acting like they own the place.
19:53I'm going to say something.
19:54No, don't.
19:55It's not worth it.
19:55I feel like he's cheating on us.
19:58He's not cheating on us, Ryan.
20:00He's just branching out.
20:03Hmm.
20:04Don't take it personally, son.
20:05Mark Gibson.
20:06I'm undercover on the gang task force.
20:08And to make sure I could trust you,
20:10did you have my back if things got ugly.
20:12Luckily, you passed.
20:14Well, you were right about the Jamaicans taking out Glitch.
20:17Neighbors near the cemetery heard gunshots in the night of the murder.
20:19Source tells me a low-level banger named Maxie was the one doing the shooting.
20:23He's holed up in a building on Avenue A and 5th.
20:25Take a walk, fellas.
20:29Maxie, why do you got to make this so hard, huh?
20:32We both know you killed that Westie kid last night.
20:34I want me lawyer.
20:35Your lawyer?
20:36Sure, he's right in here.
20:41Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what do you do?
20:44Tell me you killed him or what's going to happen?
20:45How was you out of here, Maxie?
20:47You know one.
20:49Quick, quick, quick.
20:51I get a card that some Westie boy was running his mouth without digging up our dead.
20:55Make one to the cemetery to ambush him, but I never fire no shot.
21:00Better stand back.
21:00This guy's going to pop like a grape.
21:03Do it!
21:03I swear he wasn't alone.
21:05A group of Mexicans was waiting there next to a tricked-out escalade.
21:09You telling me a third gang is involved in this?
21:12Man, I don't know who they are, man, but that glitch clearly knew them.
21:15He told him they had their heads, then things went south.
21:18The Mexicans opened fire on him and took off running, and so did I.
21:22Okay, okay, okay.
21:23So the Mexicans hunted down glitch in this shot.
21:25Or he did, and he's making up a story.
21:27No, no, no, no.
21:28I can't prove it.
21:29The escalade had Texas blitz.
21:31I saw the first two letters, R and X.
21:35Okay, Maxie.
21:36But that license better check out.
21:37I'm going to come back here and recycle your ass.
21:39In the case.
21:40In the case.
21:41In the case.
21:41In the case.
21:42Bye-bye.
21:42Slaughter!
21:43Get me out of here!
21:45Another gang.
21:46That's plausible, right?
21:47Yep.
21:48You threaten enough guys, you get a feel for their honesty.
21:51Bet you wouldn't have really crushed them.
21:53Ah, of course not.
21:54A little bit more like a mangling.
21:56Slaughter!
22:01Detective Ryan?
22:02Yeah, it's Castle.
22:03I have a partial Texas plate I need you to run.
22:05First letters, R and X.
22:07Yeah, Castle.
22:09That's going to be really tough for me.
22:11I'm pretty busy.
22:13Really?
22:13You too, huh?
22:14Get the Ferrari.
22:15You know, Castle, Jenny's been bugging me to set you up with her cousin Ramona.
22:18She's a dental hygienist.
22:21Mm-hmm.
22:21Sounds good.
22:23Ferrari.
22:23And I want the Ferrari for the weekend.
22:25All right.
22:26Hey, and buddy, I am never going to forget this.
22:30All right, we're all set.
22:31All right.
22:32We'll get the results in the morning.
22:34Tonight, we celebrate.
22:37Celebrate what?
22:37Yeah.
22:38You survived the first day on the job with me.
22:41Well, did you ever have a partner who didn't?
22:45You know, I'd love to celebrate, but...
22:48But what?
22:49But nothing.
22:51But nothing.
22:52Let's...
22:52Let's do this.
22:54It's the worst that can happen, right?
23:01What happened?
23:03Dad, I got in.
23:04I got in.
23:06Oh, where?
23:07Almost everywhere so far.
23:09Oxford, Princeton, Sarah Lawrence.
23:12That's great, honey.
23:13I knew it would work out.
23:15Really?
23:15Yeah.
23:16Then why were you hiding the letters from me?
23:19What?
23:20Come on, Dad.
23:20I can read a postmark.
23:21Some of these came last week.
23:23Oh.
23:24I just...
23:25I'm sorry.
23:25Honey, I'm just trying to protect you.
23:27I'm 18 now.
23:28You need the trust that I can take care of my...
23:31Myself.
23:33What?
23:34I got in the Stanford.
23:36Yes!
23:36So great!
23:38That's always been your first choice, right?
23:42And yet I sense trouble.
23:44I don't know.
23:46I should be happy.
23:47But after they shot me down for early admission...
23:49They rejected you, and you feel betrayed.
23:52How am I supposed to get over that?
23:59You look like crap.
24:01There.
24:02Little hair of the dog.
24:02That'll get you flying, right?
24:03No.
24:04It's not going to do anything different back time.
24:06Anyway, where are we going?
24:08The salvage yard in the Bronx.
24:10I ran that Texas play myself last night.
24:12Turns out Maxie was telling the truth about the third player.
24:15Escalade was registered to a Caesar Valles.
24:18Runs with a Mexican gang.
24:20Rumor has it they're making inroads into New York...
24:22Trying to corner the market on the city's crank trade.
24:24So Valles is coming into town trying to muscle in on the Westies and the Jamaicans.
24:29Yeah, which ain't exactly easy to do.
24:31Well, it would be a lot easier if he could get them to take each other out.
24:36That's good.
24:37So he's sitting around, trying to think about a way to make that happen.
24:40He overhears Glitch running his mouth.
24:42Right.
24:43He realizes if the Westie was to turn up murdered with a bag full of Jamaican heads...
24:46...both sides would go to war.
24:48They could jump in and take over the territories.
24:50Are you sure it's such a good idea to go after this guy ourselves?
24:55Maxie made him sound pretty dangerous.
24:58Piece of cake.
24:59Guy's nothing but a two-bit punk.
25:01This high-level Mexican mafia, about as dangerous as they come.
25:05According to the DEA, Caesar Valles is suspected in the deaths of over a dozen people...
25:08...including three cops in Mexico who were killed with a sledgehammer and then cut up into pieces.
25:14You don't think Castle Slaughter going after him.
25:15I put money on it, because I wasn't the only one who ran his place last night. Slaughter did, too.
25:20If Castle and Slaughter go after this guy, they're gonna both end up dead. We need to warn Castle.
25:23I tried, but his phone keeps going to voicemail.
25:26I got a bad feeling that they're on their way to take down Valles right now.
25:28You're not gonna mangle anyone today, are you?
25:38I'd like to keep my options open.
25:46There's an awful lot of them.
25:49Just follow my lead.
25:50Hola, gentlemen.
25:55On behalf of the NYPD, I'd like to welcome you to the greatest city on God's green earth.
26:04Unless you want your friends to see what the inside of your head looks like.
26:09Back off.
26:13Wow.
26:14Now what seems to be the problem, officer?
26:17You, Valles.
26:18That's me.
26:19May Michael Reilly mean anything to you?
26:22A.K.A. Glitch.
26:23No.
26:24I'm afraid not.
26:26That's funny, because I got an eyewitness who puts you and your girls here
26:30shooting the hell out of him in Queens two nights ago.
26:33That is funny.
26:36Hey, you.
26:37Where's your badge?
26:39In his other coat.
26:41Hmm.
26:43Yeah, Valles, we know all about your plan.
26:46Use Glitch to spark a gang wars.
26:48You can move your drug business into New York.
26:51Wow.
26:52Your partner here.
26:54He's pretty high-strong, isn't he?
26:55Yeah.
26:56High-strong, huh?
26:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:02NYPD!
27:04NYPD, let me see your hands!
27:08Party's over.
27:08That's too bad, because this was just getting interesting.
27:13If I were you, I'd get your affairs in order, because I'll be back.
27:19Hey!
27:20Slaughter!
27:22Going in there like that without backup, putting a civilian in harm's way, that's not only reckless,
27:26that is bad police work.
27:27You're just lucky that we traced Castle's phone and we found you guys in time.
27:31You think I'm going to thank you for almost ruining my play?
27:35You had a play?
27:36I always have a play.
27:38I had to escalate things.
27:40Where I could find the weak member of the herd.
27:43That kid.
27:44Exactly.
27:44He's the one I'm going to get the flip on Valley, since I can figure out how to separate him from the pack.
27:50Who knew all these years we've been working together that you had a death wish?
27:53What, that?
27:55That wasn't bad.
27:56Slaughter had a plan.
27:59Yeah, he had a plan to get you killed.
28:07Slaughter.
28:09I gotta go.
28:10All right.
28:10Next time, we might not be there to save you.
28:17You need to do something.
28:22That's why if the guy's hell-bent on leaving the nest, then there's nothing that I can do about it.
28:27You don't really feel that way, do you?
28:36Would you listen to those whiners, Sherlock?
28:38You've got balls.
28:39Yeah, I may have needlessly put you in a little harm's way there with balance, but as soon as it paid off.
28:45What do you mean, paid off?
28:48What was that?
28:49What was that?
28:50Hey, come on, man.
28:51Isn't that cool?
28:52Is there someone in the trunk?
28:54Gilberto Mendoza.
28:55Are we blank?
28:56Let me out of here, man.
28:58Please tell me that we are just going to talk to him.
29:02Yeah, pretty much.
29:03You can't do that.
29:10This is wrong.
29:11You've got to stop.
29:12Not until he puts on balance.
29:14He holds that thing.
29:16Oh!
29:17You're right, Gilberto.
29:18The only way you're getting out of that trunk is if you ran out your boss.
29:21Oh, guess what?
29:22I'm not saying nothing.
29:26Hey, remember that favor you promised me?
29:29What is this civilian review board thing coming up?
29:32Excessive force complaints?
29:33Total BS, right?
29:34Anyway, you being a friend of the mayor and all, I figure a statement from you would go
29:45a long way in making those charges go away, right?
29:54You're crazy.
29:55Is that a no?
30:02I'll do it.
30:03I'll do it if you stop.
30:04Outstanding.
30:08Next Tuesday, 9 a.m. sharp.
30:10I'll send you an email.
30:13Hey, man, I know my rights, all right?
30:14This is kidnapping.
30:15Police abuse.
30:16Uh-huh.
30:17I know something, too, Gilberto.
30:18You got a brother in Juvie back in Texas.
30:21Poor little Hector.
30:22I hear he cries himself to sleep every night.
30:24Hey, what the hell are you doing?
30:25I was having a little chat here with Gilberto.
30:28Listen, unless you want something very bad to happen to Hector,
30:32you're going to help me bury Valis, aren't you?
30:36Aren't you?
30:40Okay.
30:40Okay, what?
30:41I need to hear the magic words.
30:45Valis killed Glitch.
30:46Valis killed Glitch.
30:47Yes.
30:50Victor.
30:55Valis was looking for a way to take over the Jamaicans and the Westies turf.
31:00That's when we heard about this punk-ass Westie trying to prove himself,
31:03and Valis saw his chance.
31:04He convinced Glitch that if he dug up a couple of Jamaicans and cut off their heads,
31:08then we'll get him back in tight with his Westie dogs.
31:10So Valis wanted to use the heads to spark a gang war,
31:13for the Westies and Jamaicans to go at it until no one's left standing,
31:16then he waltzes in and takes over the territory?
31:18Yeah.
31:19What went down at the cemetery?
31:21Valis got Glitch to dig up the bodies.
31:23The plan was to kill him and make him look like the Jamaicans did it.
31:27A Glitch must have sensed it or something,
31:29because it took off right as we started opening fire.
31:35Tell me about the murder.
31:35Look, kid, I know you're scared.
31:41I was a little rough.
31:42But I talked to the DA and the feds.
31:46They said, you cooperate with me,
31:48your brother's sentence will be reduced to time served,
31:50and both of you get a free ride into Witsack.
31:53So, tell me how it went down.
31:58You chased him?
32:00You cornered him?
32:01Under the overpass?
32:04Yeah.
32:05And?
32:07And then Valis shot him twice and just left him for dead.
32:10How many times?
32:17Three.
32:19He shot him three times.
32:24What do you think you're doing?
32:26Closing this case.
32:27I got an arrest warrant for Valis burning a hole in my pocket.
32:30You coached that kid through his interrogation.
32:32Nah, nah.
32:33I just refreshed his recollection.
32:34Really, because the way he was talking,
32:36he didn't even witness that murder.
32:40Valis has bodies on him like you wouldn't believe.
32:42Women, children, cops.
32:45I get a chance to put them away.
32:46I'm going to take it.
32:47The question is, are you in or out?
32:49I guess I'm not.
32:54Well, that's a shame.
32:56I had high hopes for you, Sherlock.
32:59Never thought you'd punk out on me like this.
33:08Hey, I need some help.
33:10Sorry, Castle.
33:11Caught a murder.
33:12Talk to Beck.
33:12Hey.
33:23How's it going?
33:24You could skip the small talk, Castle.
33:25What do you want?
33:27Slaughter went too far.
33:29Well, isn't that what he does?
33:31Along with kicking ass and taking names?
33:33He pressured a kid into making a false statement so he could arrest Valis.
33:37So you came to me so I can fix it?
33:38I have every right to be mad.
33:39You warned me about slaughter and I wouldn't listen.
33:41I'm just trying to make this right.
33:43It's not my case, Castle.
33:45Even if I wanted to help,
33:47we've got strict rules about interfering in another cop's investigation.
33:51I'm not asking you to do it for me.
33:53I'm asking you to do it so the real killer doesn't get away with murder.
33:56What makes you think I'm actually going to fall for that blatant manipulation?
34:01Because it's true.
34:01What's this?
34:10A traffic cam shot of Valis' car ten blocks from the cemetery
34:13heading away from the overpass where Glitch was killed.
34:1711.57.
34:19Glitch was killed after midnight.
34:21This shows that Valis couldn't have killed him.
34:25You did this for me?
34:29All this time, you had my back.
34:31I had Ryan run a traffic cam search while he was pulling a plate.
34:36It's not a smoking gun, Castle.
34:38Okay?
34:38You can't even see Valis' face in that photo.
34:40It's not enough to change Slaughter's mind unless you've got something else.
34:45There is one more thing that doesn't make sense.
34:48This is a map of the area.
34:50Here's the cemetery.
34:51Here's the overpass.
34:52But to get to it, Glitch would have to climb a six-foot fence.
34:55Why do that when there's a subway station a block away?
34:58Why hide when you can run?
35:00Well, maybe we can find out.
35:04According to the CSU report, Glitch was shot somewhere around here.
35:09He staggered away and ended up on the other side of that pillar.
35:11So you think that Valis' plan was to use Glitch and the Jamaican heads to start up a gang war?
35:16Yeah.
35:16Why?
35:17I don't know, Castle.
35:17That's not what I'm seeing.
35:19Let's say I'm Valis and I shoot Glitch to start that war.
35:25Where do you think would be the best spot to drop off that body?
35:28In the middle of Westy Territory.
35:30Exactly.
35:31So why did he leave it here?
35:32Well, imagine my surprise when I got to the station with my killer and I hear you're stirring up my crime scene.
35:45Okay, look, I can explain.
35:46You save it.
35:47You don't know any better, but you do.
35:48What I know is that you coerced a confession out of an 18-year-old kid.
35:53I didn't coerce Jack.
35:55He works for a guy who's got a trail of bodies that stretches all the way back to the Rio Grande.
35:59If he doesn't go down for this, body count just grows.
36:01We got a traffic video camera photo of Velez's Escalade ten blocks from here when the murder went down.
36:06Yeah, so what?
36:07Could you see him in the car?
36:09Well, exactly.
36:09And if his lawyer gets a hold of it, you've handed him reasonable doubt.
36:13And Ballas walks.
36:15Maybe he deserves to walk.
36:16He deserves to be pulled apart by horses.
36:18The law says I can't do that.
36:20Well, what I can do is I can lock him up in prison for the rest of his life.
36:23Now, the question is, are you going to back off or am I going to have to report you for jumping my case?
36:29You do what you got to do, slaughter, and I'll do the same.
36:34Wow.
36:35Wow.
36:39Thanks.
36:41We got about an hour to figure out who really killed Glitch before I get called on the carpet by the chief of detectives.
36:47What can he do to you?
36:48Well, best case scenario, he suspends me.
36:51And the worst case scenario?
36:56So I'm Glitch.
37:01I just dug up three bodies, cut the heads off them, which was horrible, to try and win my way back in with the Westies.
37:07And then the kindly Mexican gentleman I thought were helping me suddenly pull out guns and try to kill me.
37:11Running for my life, I end up on the wrong side of this fence.
37:16Where you can see a sign for the subway.
37:18So why would you climb a barbed wire fence when you can just hang a right and hop a train out of here?
37:25Fear.
37:26For all I know, the Mexicans are driving the streets looking for me.
37:30With all these streetlights on, I'd be a sitting duck.
37:32But under here, it would be pitch black.
37:35So I climb the fence and I hide.
37:38Why hide when you can escape?
37:41Because I wasn't just hiding.
37:43I was waiting.
37:44I called for help.
37:45But when they found Glitch's body, he didn't have a phone on him.
37:48So either the killer took it or...
37:50Or he used that payphone.
37:51Why'd you call me down here?
37:59Because we have definitive proof that Valas didn't kill Glitch.
38:03And you want to rub my face in it?
38:05No.
38:06Look, Slaughter, we're different kinds of cops.
38:08And although I'm not a fan of your methods,
38:11I know you don't want to send an innocent man to jail when you know that the real killer is still out there.
38:21Okay, so who killed Glitch?
38:25We know he called you, Brian.
38:27Your son dialed your cell from that payphone about half an hour before he was murdered and you answered that call.
38:34We also have surveillance photos of you at that subway stop from before and after the murder.
38:39All those years, all those screw-ups, must have been unbearable for a stand-up guy like you, huh, Brian?
38:48And then Glitch calls you to tell you that he screwed up again.
38:52But this time it was different, wasn't it?
38:58He crossed the line.
38:59He was your son.
39:00Which made him my responsibility.
39:04So I did what had to be done.
39:09I wasn't even surprised.
39:14It was as if he'd been waiting for it his whole life.
39:22Why didn't you take the heads?
39:24That way none of this would come back on you and the Westies.
39:28He vanished into the dark after I'd shot him.
39:33Even with his last breath, that boy managed to screw me up.
39:36Well, unless you finally get a conviction on Brian, that's going to be some consolation.
39:44Alice still walks.
39:49Excuse me.
39:52Counselor.
39:53Can I speak with your client for a second?
39:55He probably wants my autograph.
39:58You feel cocky.
39:59I get it.
40:00You just dodged a murder route.
40:01You're probably going to go out tonight and celebrate with your boys, and you should paint the town.
40:07But then, in the morning, I want you to get the hell out of my city.
40:14But I like it here.
40:16You might like it right now.
40:18But starting tomorrow, you're going to see just how hard a city in New York can be
40:21when the full force of the NYPD comes crashing down on you with 30,000 cops making it their
40:28daily duty to make your life a living hell.
40:35Counselor, you can take him away now.
40:37Oh, that is sexy.
40:40What?
40:41You want to hit me for that, too?
40:43No.
40:43That's for not having my back.
40:50Oh, and if I ever see a character in one of your novels like me, we're going to have words.
40:54So I'm going to see you at the hearing on Tuesday, right?
40:56You got it.
40:57Outstanding.
40:59Detective, you ever want to go on a date that ends in hot sex after a drunken fist fight?
41:03You know where to find me.
41:05Yeah, in Never Gonna Happen land.
41:08Hey, thanks very much for your help.
41:12No problem, Castle.
41:13It's what partners are supposed to do.
41:25Ah, basking in the glory of you?
41:28No, I'm not trying to figure out what to do.
41:32Stanford has always been my dream school, but what if their initial rejection was the
41:36universe sending me a sign that I'm better off somewhere else?
41:39You think you'd be better off somewhere else?
41:42I don't know.
41:43Do you?
41:45I don't know either.
41:48I guess the question is, do you want it badly enough to get over being hurt?
41:54You know what I think would help with this decision?
42:03Ice cream.
42:06Racy.
42:06Racy.
42:08Ah!
42:09Ah!
42:10Shit!
42:19Ihnen Something like this!
42:19Ah!
42:20Ah!
42:20Ah!
42:20Ah!
42:20Ah!
42:20Ah!
42:20Ah!
42:21Ah!
42:21Ah!
42:22Ah!
42:24Shit!
42:26Ah!
42:27Ah!
42:29Ah!
42:33Ah!
