00:00Those eyes, lots of smiles, smiles in my eyes.

00:08Testing, testing.

00:09One, two, three, testing.

00:11Ah!

00:13Damn it!

00:14Thanks.

00:15Sorry, man.

00:17Yo, hit in!

00:18What?

00:19Review from last night's show.

00:20You wanna hear it?

00:21Only if you like being called the next Nirvana.

00:23Yeah, bro.

00:24Dude, he's not kidding.

00:26Holy Shem's future is now.

00:28They're about to explode just like one of singer Keith Blue's signature screams.

00:32Yeah!

00:33You hear that?

00:35Take it off, baby!

00:37Hey, hey, where's James?

00:38They're comparing him to the edge.

00:39He's probably still asleep.

00:41Let's go wake his ass up!

00:43Is this real?

00:45Get back!

00:46All right, listen to me again.

00:48Wakey, wakey, gym bum!

00:49Come here with the camera!

00:50Come on.

00:54I seriously hope his junk is not flapping in the breeze like last time.

00:57Come on.

00:58Help!

00:59Help!

01:00Help!

01:01Help me!

01:02Help me!

01:03Help me!

01:04Ryan, get rid of the cameras.

01:05Yeah, I'll take care of it.

01:06Hey, officer!

01:07We need to lose these cameras.

01:08You know that.

01:09No press allowed!

01:10They're not press.

01:11They're shooting some kind of media.

01:12No, they're filming a documentary about the band.

01:13And you are?

01:14I'm Hank Rogers.

01:15I'm Hank Rogers.

01:16I'm one of the roadies.

01:17You knew the victim.

01:18All right, well, I'm not in need of state, okay?

01:19Are you kidding me?

01:20They're in here, too.

01:21I asked him to leave, but he said that the director told him to shoot all this.

01:22How'd you like to try to film with a cracked lens, huh?

01:23All right.

01:24Huh?

01:25All right.

01:26Aspo, just go get their director.

01:27Tell him to get the crew out of here.

01:28Yes, Vizito.

01:29Oh.

01:30Hey, officer.

01:31We need to lose these cameras.

01:32You know that.

01:33No press allowed.

01:34They're not press.

01:35They're shooting some kind of media.

01:36No, they're filming a documentary about the band.

01:37And you are?

01:38I'm Hank Rogers.

01:39I'm one of the roadies.

01:40You knew the victim.

01:41All right.

01:42Well, I'm not in need of state, okay?

01:43Are you kidding me?

01:44They're in here, too.

01:45I asked him to leave, but he said that the director told him to shoot all this.

01:48How'd you like to try to film with a cracked lens, huh?

01:50All right.

01:51Aspo, just go get their director.

01:52Tell him to get the crew out of here.

01:54Yes, Vizito.

01:56Someone don't get their coffee.

01:58What's this?

01:59They are making a documentary on the band.

02:02Yeah, just ignore them.

02:05Richard Castle.

02:06Novelist.

02:07My latest, Frozen Heat, in stores now.

02:10Have you met, uh, Nikki Heat's inspiration, Detective Began?

02:13Lainey, what else do we know?

02:14Victim is James Swan.

02:16He's the lead guitarist of Holy Shemp.

02:18They must be Three Stooges fans.

02:20Based on lividity, I'd say the time of death is between 12 and 2 a.m.?

02:27Look at that.

02:28Observe.

02:29An unheated call to vigilance.

02:31So that's the murder weapon.

02:33Mm.

02:34It's a Gibson Les Paul.

02:3559 flametop, if I'm not mistaken.

02:37And I'm rarely mistaken.

02:43It's hot.

02:44Tell me about this guitar.

02:45The flametop is his favorite.

02:47Uh, last night after the show, I tuned it and I dropped it off with his trailer.

02:51He likes to compose on it.

02:53All right.

02:54Uh, what time was that at?

02:55It's around 11.30.

02:56All right.

02:57Was, uh, he alone at the time?

02:59Yeah.

03:00Yeah.

03:01And we chatted for a second.

03:02He's always really nice to me.

03:04It's all about the music with him.

03:06Was there, uh, anyone hanging outside the trailer?

03:08Maybe someone you didn't recognize.

03:10Saw a white van, went around the block a couple of times.

03:14Um, did you get a plate number?

03:16I'm sorry.

03:17It's dark.

03:18All right.

03:19Um, don't go anywhere.

03:23Yeah, no, I, you can't pull your funding.

03:25Yo.

03:26You the director?

03:27Yeah.

03:28Yeah, no.

03:29You, look, we are sitting on gold here.

03:31Okay?

03:32This, this is part rock doc, part, uh...

03:34This is a crime scene.

03:35You gotta get these cameras out of here.

03:37All right.

03:38Look, I, I gotta go.

03:40Just call me if, if you can get that thing.

03:42Look, you gotta help me out here.

03:44Okay?

03:45I, I, I've been following these guys non-stop for three months.

03:48Not anymore.

03:49Police procedure.

03:50Sorry.

03:51And if you've been following the victim 24-7,

03:52I'm gonna need to see that footage.

03:53No, detective!

03:56Look, I'm in a spot here.

03:59Hey, James Swan was that band.

04:03With him gone, no one is gonna care about these guys,

04:06or wanna see this film.

04:08So unless I can reinvent it as some kind of thriller,

04:11you know, a hunt for the murderer,

04:13people love that stuff.

04:14Listen to me.

04:16A guy's dead here.

04:17So if you don't get rid of these cameras,

04:18I'm gonna break one over here.

04:19One second.

04:20Sorry.

04:21Yeah, go ahead.

04:22Oh.

04:23Great.

04:24Okay, hang on.

04:25I'm gonna give you to the detective.

04:26Yeah.

04:27Hello.

04:28This was a crime of passion.

04:30There was an argument.

04:31Things got heated,

04:32the killer grabbed the nearest heavy object,

04:33and felled, poor Mr. Swan,

04:34at the tragically young age of...

04:35How old was he?

04:3627.

04:37Wow.

04:38Another one for the club.

04:39What club?

04:4027 Club.

04:41Memberships include some of the greats,

04:43Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin,

04:44and the list is extensive.

04:45Castle, we kinda need a different list.

04:46Like, who might have been in this trailer last night?

04:48I think I know where to start.

04:49Later.

04:50Okay.

04:51Okay.

04:52Okay.

04:53Okay.

04:54Okay.

04:55Okay.

04:56Okay.

04:57Okay.

04:58Okay.

04:59Okay.

05:00Okay.

05:01Okay.

05:02Okay.

05:03Okay.

05:04Okay.

05:05Okay.

05:06Okay.

05:07Okay.

05:08Okay.

05:09Okay.

05:10Okay.

05:11Okay.

05:12Okay.

05:13Okay.

05:14Okay.

05:23Oh, my God.

05:28The guy was a total genius.

05:30I followed the band for six months trying to meet him.

05:34A couple weeks ago, James and I got together.

05:36And every night since I'd meet him in his trailer right after the show.

05:43So you were in his trailer when it happened?

05:45I guess.

05:46I mean, I, I, um, I, I don't remember anything.

05:48I'm sorry.

05:49How can you not remember?

05:51I passed out.

05:53I guess I partied a little too hard during the show.

05:58I'm sorry.

05:59I don't want to help.

06:00Listen, miss.

06:01Butterfly.

06:02Butterfly.

06:03This is very important.

06:05Do you remember anything about that night?

06:08Anything at all?

06:12In his trailer, I heard a horse.

06:15A horse.

06:16Um, a horse as in winning?

06:19No.

06:20I, I heard the sound of horse hooves crunching in the snow.

06:24Like, crunch, crunch, crunch.

06:28Okay.

06:29Can we, uh, just focus on what happened just before you passed out?

06:32Did he seem like he was upset?

06:34Did he seem like he had been fighting with anyone?

06:36Actually, the opposite.

06:37He'd been complaining a lot about the other guys in the band recently, you know?

06:41The arguments and the tension.

06:46But last night, he seemed happy, you know?

06:51Like, like he'd found some kind of peace.

06:55I don't know if that girl could swing a guitar with enough force to kill anyone,

06:59but I still gotta check her clothes for blood spatter.

07:01I'm more interested in what the band members were fighting about.

07:03Hey, what are you guys doing here?

07:05Huh?

07:06Get out of here now.

07:07This is a police investigation.

07:08You have no right to be here.

07:09Ah, actually, that's not true.

07:14I'm sorry, detective, but it's out of my hands.

07:21City Hall has decided it's good PR.

07:24Wait, what about the case?

07:25They're gonna compromise the investigation.

07:26I feel the same way as you do, but a decision has been made,

07:29and I expect you to comply with it.

07:31Fine, then just have them stay out of my way.

07:34Hi, uh, welcome.

07:40I'm Captain Gates, head of the 12th precinct.

07:43In cooperation with the NYPD's Public Affairs Division,

07:47I am happy to grant you full access to the department.

07:51I think you will find everyone here more than accommodating.

07:56Welcome.

07:57Welcome.

07:58Come on.

07:59What's the big deal?

08:00It'll be fun.

08:01What, Castle?

08:02What do I do here?

08:03This is mine.

08:04And just because they wanna invade my privacy, it doesn't mean that I have to help them do it.

08:10Yeah, no.

08:11Okay.

08:12Well, that may be, but these cameras, they're not going anywhere.

08:16They're gonna see something.

08:17I just want them to see what I see.

08:18Hold up.

08:19Why do you need our alibis?

08:20Because we understand that there was some tension between Mr. Swan and the band.

08:21Of course, there was tension.

08:22You spend every second together, it's not always gonna be pretty.

08:23We've been together for five years.

08:24Like, if you had any idea the kind of crap that you go through trying to make it in this

08:26business, it doesn't have to be so funny.

08:27But, you see, it doesn't mean that I have to help them do it.

08:28Okay.

08:29Well, that may be, but these cameras, they're not going anywhere.

08:30They're gonna see something.

08:31I just want them to see what I see.

08:36Hold on, why do you need our alibis?

08:37Because we understand that there was some tension between Mr. Swan and the band.

08:41Of course there was tension. You spend every second together, it's not always going to be pretty.

08:44We've been together for five years.

08:46Like, if you had any idea of the kind of crap that you go through trying to make it in this business,

08:50it has a way of bonding people.

08:52Or making them really, really sick of each other.

08:54Hey, we looked out for James.

08:55He was a middle-class kid from Ohio.

08:57He didn't know what the hell he was getting into with his life.

08:59Yeah, well, we're still going to need statements about where you were last night.

09:04Fine, I was in my trailer. I went there right after the show.

09:07Me too.

09:08We were all in our trailers.

09:09All right, well, we have reports that there was a white van in the area.

09:12Did James ever mention anything about that?

09:14No.

09:16You did think someone was following him, huh?

09:17Yeah, it was a month ago, right around the time we played Ithaca.

09:20He was acting all paranoid, he was talking about hiring extra security.

09:23Did he say who he was afraid of?

09:25No, but he hadn't brought it up recently, so I just assumed everything was normal until he pulled that stunt yesterday.

09:31What happened yesterday?

09:32He blew off our one o'clock band meeting.

09:34We didn't see him again until soundcheck at six.

09:36The guy never missed a band meeting.

09:38Did he say where he was going?

09:39No.

09:40But I do know this.

09:41The camera guy that was following him said that James ditched him on purpose.

09:45So whatever he was doing, he didn't want anyone to know.

09:49Yo, you guys got a sec?

09:51So, uh, I've been going through the documentary footage of our victim.

09:57Check this out.

09:59Most guys will tell you that they, uh, they learned to play guitar themselves, but I had a mentor, and the guy was incredible.

10:07Much better than I'll ever be.

10:09What's he think of the band?

10:12You know we lost a tattoo a ways back?

10:18There.

10:19You see that guy?

10:20That was taken over a month ago.

10:22These are more recent.

10:24All right.

10:28But, let's move that.

10:30There we go.

10:31Boom.

10:32Boom.

10:33Boom.

10:34Boom.

10:35Yeah, looks like our Vic had a stalker.

10:37Check out this one.

10:38This is from yesterday.

10:41Look what he's leaning against.

10:43A white van.

10:44We've got you now, you son of a bitch.

10:46I'm sorry, can I even say something?

11:01So, we blew up the picture of the white van, wide enough to get a license plate.

11:05It's registered to an address somewhere around here.

11:08Make it right up ahead.

11:09No, I'm going another way.

11:10There's only one way.

11:11No, there's a different way.

11:12There's a back way.

11:12There's no back way.

11:13Trust me.

11:14I know how this might look, but we actually make a pretty good team, because we each have

11:19different strengths.

11:21It's true.

11:22For example, I'm former military, which makes me an expert marksman.

11:26I'm usually first through the door.

11:27Well, yeah, but somebody's got to know which door to go through.

11:30I'm a little bit more circumspect than my partner here.

11:35I'm kind of like the nerve center of the team.

11:37I'm definitely the physical one.

11:38I stay in six shape.

11:39Boom.

11:40Have you been to the gun show?

11:41I'm just kidding.

11:42Seriously, though, I'm in six shape.

11:44Dude, your shirt is really tight.

11:46Did you change it?

11:48I spilled something.

11:49I don't know.

11:51Yeah.

11:52It is.

11:57Slow approach.

12:05Stay close.

12:06I think he saw us.

12:16I got this.

12:27Let's go check out the van.

12:28What do we have here?

12:41I'm pretty sure that ain't ketchup.

12:43Hey, is that our stalker?

12:45Ex-stalker.

12:46He won't be seeing daylight anytime soon.

12:48L.T., could you please take him to the interrogation room?

12:50You should watch from observation while I tear this guy apart.

12:53So, uh, we like this guy?

12:56We found bloodstained overalls in his van.

12:58We sent him to be tested to see if they match the blood from our Vic.

13:01Oh, they match.

13:02Trust me, bro.

13:03You don't have to worry about this creep hurting anyone ever again.

13:06That's a gift from me to you.

13:08You're welcome, America.

13:08A lot of nasty things in your van, Joe.

13:16I miss anything?

13:17No, they're just getting started.

13:19Hey.

13:20Gasoline?

13:20You wanted to do nasty things to James Swine.

13:23I don't know what you're talking about.

13:24No, I think you do.

13:26I'm going to give you a second to get your facts straight.

13:30Ooh, the timeout.

13:31That's a classic.

13:33Interrogation?

13:34It's really an art form.

13:35I mean, Detective Beck is here.

13:37She is a master.

13:38I have watched her crack countless cases in this very room.

13:42Remember that guy who killed his gardener because he cut his roses too short?

13:47Mm-hmm.

13:48Found your overalls.

13:49You got Swan's blood all over them.

13:51It's not his blood.

13:52It's my blood.

13:54I cut myself when I was working on my van.

13:56Oh, come on, Joe.

13:56What do you think was stupid?

13:58We've got you on video following him for weeks.

14:02We've got your van at the crime scene.

14:04So why don't you cut the innocent crap right now?

14:07You want me to admit it?

14:09I admit it.

14:09I followed him.

14:10I did.

14:11I was just planning to grab him.

14:13And that's when your plan went sideways.

14:16You tried to drag him to your van, but he didn't want to go.

14:20That's not how it happened.

14:21And that's when you got mad.

14:21That's not how it happened.

14:22That's when you got mad, and that's when you busted his head open.

14:26I didn't kill anybody.

14:27I just, I just, I just want my little girl.

14:35Your little girl?

14:40My daughter.

14:41She quit her job to become a groupie.

14:44Threw her whole life away.

14:46I was afraid she was going to get pregnant.

14:48Or worse.

14:52All I wanted to do was grab him.

14:55I wanted to scare him a little.

14:56I wanted him to stay away from her.

14:58Your daughter?

14:59Yes.

15:00I haven't seen her in weeks.

15:03I don't even know if she's alive.

15:06Does she go by the name of Butterfly?

15:10Yes.

15:11I think we can help you find her.

15:14If it's okay with my partner.

15:17Well, looks like our stalker was telling the truth.

15:20Pre-lim shows that the blood on his overalls was his.

15:24Sorry, partner.

15:25Huh.

15:26Well, at least grabbing the guy up wasn't a total bust.

15:29I don't know.

15:29Seems to be the definition of a total bust.

15:31Well, it would have been if I hadn't just spoken to him and holding.

15:34Seeing as how he was tailing our victim,

15:37he knew exactly where Swan was on the afternoon of his death.

15:39Great.

15:40Where?

15:40He was in a bank in Soho,

15:42and then he went into a residential building

15:43on the corner of Lafayette and Brune.

15:45Yes, but why?

15:46Swan eluded his cameraman to go on a clandestine errand.

15:50An errand so important, he missed a band meeting.

15:53He was acting erratically, went to the bank right beforehand.

15:56This all points to one thing.

15:57Drugs.

15:58That's an interesting theory, but that is pure speculation.

16:00Actually, it's not.

16:02Pure speculation would be Swan purchasing thermonuclear technology

16:05to have a scientist make him an amplifier

16:07that went all the way to 12.

16:08This, musicians buying drugs,

16:11that's just Monday morning's crossword.

16:16I'll pull a list of tenants, see if anyone pops.

16:18Laney's got something she wants us to see.

16:22Laney?

16:23Who's Laney?

16:28Laney is our medical examiner,

16:31and she works at the morgue,

16:33and she's got information that she wants us to see,

16:37and we are keeping her waiting.

16:38Still a little steady.

16:40Certainly she could tighten that up,

16:42but she's getting better.

16:43Victim's blood panels came back.

16:45Let me guess.

16:46Drugs.

16:47Nope.

16:48This was one clean, living rock star.

16:52In fact, it's not what he put in his body,

16:55it's what he didn't.

16:56James had no antibodies for polio.

16:59He never had the polio vaccine.

17:01Wait, everyone born since the early 1960s got that vaccine?

17:04That's what I thought.

17:05He also had no antibodies for tetanus, measles,

17:08whooping cough, all standard immunizations.

17:11What else?

17:13Isn't that enough?

17:14Laney, usually if you have something like this for me,

17:17just call me over the phone.

17:19Well, I thought it was worth the trip.

17:28Ryan, can you look into our Vicks medical records?

17:30I want to find out why he was never vaccinated.

17:32All right.

17:34Okay.

17:35I think I figured out why James Swan went to that building.

17:37He knew a guy who lived there, a Sam Spear.

17:40Dude has an outstanding lawsuit against our Vick.

17:42What kind of a lawsuit?

17:44Well, he claims that James stole one of the band's songs from him,

17:46and James must have thought he had a case

17:48because when he stopped at a bank on his way to see this guy,

17:50he took out 25 grand cash.

17:52Sounds like he's trying to settle out of court.

17:54Yeah, and I'm guessing it didn't pan out.

17:56Sam Spear bought a ticket to last night's show.

17:58So he was at the theater right before Swan was killed?

18:01Time to pay this guy a visit.

18:03No, no, no, no, no.

18:04I got this.

18:06You stay here and work on your little research project.

18:07You'd be in the nerve center and all.

18:09Castle?

18:10How are you coming?

18:11No, I'm good.

18:13Wait up.

18:14It's not this one.

18:20Spear's in 3M.

18:23You know, Detective Beckett is not an unfriendly person.

18:26She's just got walls.

18:29Let's call them layers.

18:31Layers upon layers of, well, walls.

18:35But once you scale those walls, the effort is worth it.

18:39Castle, keep your boys down, please.

18:42I already had one guy bowling me today.

18:44Element of surprise is key.

18:45See, I can be circumspect.

18:47Folks would be lost without me.

18:49He went the wrong way.

18:50It's going to be out of Spear's place.

18:57Drop your weapon!

18:58You ready?

18:59Let it go right now!

19:00Come on, TV!

19:01Nobody moves!

19:05Get your hands up!

19:06Oh, yeah, yeah!

19:07Let me see your hands!

19:08What is this?

19:10Drop your weapon!

19:12Is this a bad movie?

19:15I'm just composing the score.

19:18This is all a misunderstanding.

19:19Let's review.

19:20You sued James Swan over a song.

19:23Then he came to see you about it yesterday.

19:24A few hours later, he was killed right after a show.

19:27What?

19:27A show that you attended.

19:29But we worked all that out.

19:30He was going to give me half the publishing for that song.

19:33I was going to drop the complaint as soon as the papers were signed.

19:35That doesn't explain the $25,000 he brought to you.

19:38I don't know anything about that.

19:41Look, he wanted me to write for him.

19:43It'd be pretty stupid to kill off an employer in this job market.

19:46You were writing songs for him.

19:48Yeah, here.

19:48Uh, look.

19:51I already started.

19:52I got pretty far on that one.

19:53Let's see that.

19:55I do like the vocal line on this.

19:58You read music?

20:00What, you think because I'm a cop I can't sing?

20:01No, I think you can't sing because I've heard you sing.

20:03That karaoke machine was busted.

20:04I'm going to sing for your name.

20:05If this was just about writing songs, why all the secrecy?

20:08He never said, but I had my theories,

20:10especially because this new stuff was such a musical departure for him,

20:14as I'm sure you noticed.

20:15Yeah.

20:16Taking the music in a new direction,

20:18but he didn't want the rest of the band to know.

20:20Of course.

20:22Swan was going solo.

20:23Makes sense.

20:24The director said that Swan was the creative force behind the group,

20:27that if he left the band, they would flounder.

20:28What if one of the other members found out and confronted him?

20:31And they argued and things got ugly?

20:32Right.

20:32He wasn't about to stay,

20:33and they weren't about to let him play George Michael to their Angela Richley.

20:37Angela who?

20:37Exactly.

20:38So they pick up a guitar and wham.

20:44That's what I do.

20:46It's not bad.

20:47It gives a weight.

20:47Yeah.

20:48Those lips,

21:04those eyes,

21:06black smile was rising eyes.

21:10Your mouth made promises,

21:13but your heart was filled with lies.

21:18brownie eyes,

21:20everything he says,

21:22brownie eyes,

21:24call the living goodness,

21:26brownie eyes,

21:28everything's always nice.

21:32Wake up.

21:35Got yourself a new guitarist.

21:39Trying someone out, yeah.

21:40Well, that was fast.

21:41Though I guess you had this audition lined up already, didn't you?

21:44What are you talking about?

21:45Come on, Keith.

21:46You knew James was going solo.

21:48Is that true, man?

21:50No, of course not.

21:51How would I know that?

21:52We met with a woman from the record label.

21:53She says that she's your girlfriend.

21:56She said that she had a meeting on the books with James about making some changes,

22:00and that there were rumors that he wanted to leave the band.

22:02All those years struggling side by side.

22:06Now, success finally at hand.

22:10He wanted to take all the glory for himself.

22:12I know I'd be mad.

22:14I'm not going to stand here and let you accuse me of killing one of my best friends, all right?

22:17Can you hear that sound?

22:24Kind of like horse hooves crunching on snow?

22:27Just like what Butterfly heard in Swan's trailer.

22:31Look, we know he's got a temper, so if we can get him angry enough...

22:34Actually, why don't you talk to Keith yourself?

22:37Why?

22:37Because I want to give you room to operate.

22:40Install your stuff.

22:43You got this.

22:46She's got this.

22:47Really? You got to film this, too?

22:55They can film whatever they want, Keith.

22:57You signed a release.

23:00You're lucky the cameras weren't rolling when you killed James Swan.

23:03I already said I didn't kill him.

23:05Yeah, and you also said that you didn't know that he was going solo,

23:08and that you didn't see him after the show.

23:09But I have a witness that places you in his trailer at the time of death.

23:14All right, look, I did go to his trailer, okay?

23:18But it was like you said, I heard rumors that he was cutting out on us.

23:20I went to see if it was true.

23:21And then after that, you lost control.

23:23No, we just talked, okay?

23:25And James denied it.

23:26He said that he wasn't leaving.

23:27He said he was working out something that'd be good for all of us.

23:29And what exactly?

23:30Was there something?

23:32Look, I used to think I knew that dude,

23:35but he hasn't been the same since Ithaca.

23:36I am telling you something happened.

23:37Keith, I'm not talking about Ithaca.

23:39I am talking about what happened in that trailer.

23:42We talked.

23:43I left.

23:43I went back to my trailer for the rest of the night.

23:46I was with this girl.

23:47You can ask her.

23:48What's her name?

23:50I don't remember her name.

23:52A phone number, then.

23:54Anything so I can get a hold of her.

23:56They come to me.

23:58Keith, you're going to have to do a lot better than that.

24:06Okay, all right.

24:07I may not remember her name, but I can prove that we were together that night.

24:21Well, they were together, all right.

24:22Tommy Lee's got nothing on this guy.

24:24I like to check on the case every once in a while.

24:27No point in chaining myself to that desk when all the action is right out here.

24:31If you want action, check this.

24:33Hey, hey, hey.

24:34This is inappropriate workplace behavior.

24:37This is Evans, sir.

24:38Our suspect's alibi hinges on this.

24:41Oh.

24:42Oh.

24:42So, does this story pan out?

24:45Yeah, it seems like he's covered for the entire time of death window.

24:47I hope you're not going on the time stamp on this video.

24:50That could be faked, you know.

24:52It's not the only thing on this video being faked.

24:54TV's on in the background, sir.

24:55And that is the news, which means I can verify the time stamp using that.

24:59Okay.

25:00Good job.

25:01Everyone, keep it up.

25:03No.

25:04Too easy.

25:05So, it looks like we're back to square one, huh?

25:08Well, I wouldn't say that.

25:09I was looking into our Vicks medical records, my little research project.

25:13Turns out, he has no records.

25:16Birth, medical, student transcripts, nothing.

25:19The first time James Swan pops up was when he was 17 and he was hospitalized for a car accident in Ithaca, New York.

25:26Why does Ithaca keep coming up?

25:27Because that's where he's from.

25:30I checked the address in the ER records, traced it to a 20-acre compound owned by the Church of Worldly Enlightenment.

25:36Whoa, guys, wait a second.

25:37I've heard about this place.

25:38It's a cult.

25:40That's why he doesn't have any vaccinations and that's why he doesn't have a family.

25:43He grew up in a cult.

25:44The only way to leave was to escape.

25:46The compound is walled and the cult practices strict obedience.

25:50Everyone tattoos the word serve on the forearm.

25:52Serve.

25:54Remember James' tattoo?

25:56Observe.

25:57He must have added the O and the B sometime after he got out.

26:00But when the band played Ithaca, maybe somebody recognized him.

26:03Which is why he was afraid that someone was following him.

26:05James had reason to be afraid.

26:07John Campbell, cult's leader.

26:09Guy's a total psycho with a violent past.

26:12He did ten years for murder before starting the whole church scam.

26:15Do we know where Campbell is now?

26:16Well, I can tell you where he was.

26:18I checked passenger manifests.

26:19Let me see that.

26:20Or all the nearby airports.

26:23He flew into JFK two days ago.

26:26Yep.

26:26Wait a second.

26:27That's the day Swan died.

26:30So John Campbell was in town with a few days to kill.

26:36See what I did there?

26:38That was good.

26:39Use that.

26:39Don't use the part where I said see what I did there.

26:41Cut that out.

26:42Do a heartbeat to black.

26:43Musical sting.

26:44Hey, are we close on locating Campbell?

26:52Well, his picture is out to all patrol cars citywide, and I've sent his photograph to all

26:56the hotels in our database.

26:57Yeah, but the trouble is he uses aliases in order to stay off the DEA's radar.

27:01Well, why is the DEA interested?

27:02The Church of Worldly Enlightenment isn't just your friendly neighborhood cult.

27:06It's also a 20-acre pot farm run by the 300-plus members, all for Campbell's personal profit.

27:11Why don't the feds shut him down?

27:13They've tried something about freedom of religious expression.

27:16Can we get anything else on the cult that can help us find them?

27:19Detective Beckett's working an angle right now, sir.

27:34Hey.

27:37Any luck?

27:38Yeah, I just got off the phone with cult watch, and they're going to hook us up with

27:40someone else who escaped Campbell's compound.

27:46I was a kid, drifting.

27:50Campbell promised me meaning, a spiritual focus, but in return, he took away everything.

27:57Caroline, are you worried about these cameras?

27:59Because if you want to have them gone...

28:00Mm-mm.

28:02I want the world to know what a monster this man is.

28:06How did Campbell react when James Swan escaped?

28:09I was furious.

28:10He used to love James.

28:12That's why it was such a betrayal when he left.

28:14I heard Campbell swear he'd get revenge, no matter how long it took.

28:17Hey, guys.

28:19I think I got something.

28:21The manager of the Widmark Hotel said that Campbell checked in two days ago.

28:24Did you send a patrol car?

28:25He checked out the next morning, but guess who came to visit him soon after he arrived there?

28:30James Swan.

28:31When?

28:325 p.m., the same night that Swan was killed.

28:34He killed James.

28:35I knew it.

28:36James was running from Campbell.

28:38Why would he agree to meet with him?

28:39To buy his freedom.

28:41Let me guess.

28:42For $25,000?

28:43That's right.

28:44Do you have any idea where we could find Campbell now?

28:46If he is in town, he might be at this youth hostel.

28:50He recruits there.

28:52That's where I first met him.

28:53All right.

28:54Let's go get him.

28:54Come on.

29:03I'm okay.

29:04What was that, Sam?

29:05Excuse me?

29:08What are you doing?

29:09What are these cameras for?

29:11We're looking for John Campbell.

29:15Um, no, sorry.

29:17There's no one here by that name.

29:23Excuse me, that's a private room, and you can't go back there.

29:26Excuse me.

29:27Mr. Campbell?

29:28We have a few questions about James Swan.

29:30Mr. Campbell, where were you between midnight and 2 a.m., the night that James Swan was killed?

29:39I was in my hotel room.

29:41Can anyone vouch for that?

29:42Well, I was meditating.

29:44Solitude's a very important part of my evening ritual.

29:46So that'd be a no.

29:47So what are you doing in town?

29:49Working for my church.

29:52Fundraising.

29:52Recruiting, mostly.

29:54Fundraising?

29:55Interesting term for making James Swan pay for his freedom.

29:59It's no secret that James and I had met.

30:02But he certainly didn't need to buy his freedom.

30:04We're all free.

30:05Mr. Campbell, we know that James had 25 grand in cash with him when he went to see you,

30:10and that he no longer had that money once he left.

30:12James may have made a donation to the church, but I make it a point not to discuss those matters.

30:17Okay, so then why don't we discuss Ithaca?

30:21About a month ago, James and his band had a concert there,

30:25and he said that afterwards he was concerned that someone was coming after him.

30:28Now, I think that that someone was you.

30:31I'm sorry, but I had no idea James was in town last month.

30:34I don't think that's accurate.

30:35I think that you're upset with him for cutting the cord with your church,

30:37and so you started tracking him.

30:39That's not true.

30:39He gave you a donation so that you would leave him alone.

30:42That's not true.

30:43But that wasn't enough, was it?

30:44You wanted revenge.

30:45No.

30:45So you followed him to his trailer, and then you killed him in a fit of rage.

30:50Enough!

30:54Now, if you have a solid case here, then arrest me.

30:57Otherwise, we're done.

31:00You contact me again, and I will sue you for religious persecution.

31:06Wait.

31:12Sir, we're sure it was Campbell.

31:14He had motive, and he met with our victim the day that he died.

31:17And he was lying through his teeth about Ithaca.

31:20That's where Swan got on his radar.

31:21Do you have any proof of that?

31:22No, not yet, but we're checking public records and police reports

31:25from when the band was in Ithaca to see if there's a link to Campbell.

31:29Well, I'm sure the DEA will be delighted if you could help get some info...

31:33Excuse me?

31:34Yeah.

31:37Gates.

31:38Oh, no, no, no.

31:40DVDs will be fine.

31:43Well, I appreciate it, Mr. Midas.

31:45Okay.

31:49Our film director.

31:50As you know, it's important that this project reflects well on the precinct.

31:54As I'm sure it will.

31:57But we did have a number of officers watching a sex tape earlier.

32:01Still, to ensure that the conduct of my people meets the highest possible standard,

32:07Mr. Midas is sending over all the precinct footage for my review.

32:10All the footage, sir?

32:12Is there a problem, detective?

32:13Yeah, no.

32:14No, of course not.

32:14Well, she confirmed it.

32:31That's a missing piece.

32:32You should tell Beckett.

32:38Unless you want to.

32:40What?

32:41No, no, you brought her home.

32:42No, but you were the one who uncovered the whole cult thing, right?

32:46I mean, this guy broke the whole case wide open.

32:48Yeah, but this guy was the guy who came up with the 25 grand, right?

32:51Yeah, but this guy...

32:52Hey, Tank, on cash.

32:53Is there something you guys want to tell us or not?

32:56You want to?

32:57Yeah, go ahead.

32:58All right.

32:59Well, we were going over police records for the night that our Vic was in Ithaca.

33:02But we found something else.

33:03A missing persons report was filed by John Campbell the day after the band left town.

33:07Someone went missing from the cult?

33:09Yeah.

33:09A guy named Buck Cooper.

33:11We checked with Caroline, our cult watch contact.

33:14Turns out that Buck was Swan's best friend from his days back in the cult.

33:17So that's what happened in Ithaca.

33:21I mean, Swan went back to the compound to break out his friend.

33:24That's the real reason Campbell went after him.

33:25So the 25 grand wasn't for Swan's freedom.

33:28It was for his friends.

33:29This guy's testimony could help us nail Campbell.

33:32We've been looking for him, but he's not in the system.

33:34But Caroline was supposed to send over a photo.

33:37There it is.

33:38Boom.

33:41Check it out.

33:43We know that guy.

33:44It's the roadie I talked to at the crime scene.

33:46Well, the key to taking down Campbell's been under our nose the whole time.

33:49I know I should have said something earlier.

33:52It's just James told me to keep my head down, and then all of a sudden he was dead.

33:56I didn't know what to do.

33:57It's okay, Buck.

33:58You're safe now.

33:59I owe that man my life, and now I'm never going to get a chance to repay him.

34:04Actually, you might be able to.

34:07You could help us nail Campbell for his death.

34:11I wish I could, man.

34:13Lord knows that man's done some terrible things.

34:17The trouble is, killing James isn't one of them.

34:19When Campbell took the money from James, he promised not to bother us anymore.

34:25I needed to hear that myself.

34:27I needed to look him in the eyes.

34:29You were with Campbell when James was killed.

34:32So then Campbell couldn't have killed James, but then who did?

34:34I wish I knew.

34:35Did he say anything to you when you were in his trailer?

34:42He said that he was ready to make things right for me.

34:46Uh, make things right?

34:49Didn't he already do that?

34:50Yeah, I thought so.

34:52James got me out of the cult.

34:53James got me away from Campbell.

34:55He even gave me a job in his band.

34:58All I ever did for the guy was teaching how to play guitar.

35:02You were his teacher?

35:03Most guys will tell you they learned to play guitar themselves, but I had a mentor.

35:10And the guy was incredible.

35:12Much better than I'll ever be.

35:14What's he think of the band?

35:18You know, we lost touch a ways back.

35:21And sometimes I wonder what he's up to.

35:27Don't you see?

35:28Everything we need to solve this murder is right there in that clip.

35:34Do a hard fade to black, musical sting.

35:41Buck Cooper was James Swan's musical mentor, right?

35:44That's why when the filmmaker asked James about his past, he automatically thought of his good friend, Buck Cooper, and how much he owed him.

35:51Which is when he decided to rescue Buck from the compound and bring him on tour.

35:54But Buck, as a roadie, didn't seem fitting.

35:57I mean, he was a better musician than James was, by James' own account.

36:00That's what James meant when he told Buck he wanted to make things right.

36:03He was talking about bringing Buck into the band.

36:05Exactly.

36:06That was the change in direction he kept talking about.

36:09It's why he told Keith it would be good for all of them.

36:11Because Buck is a great musician.

36:13Only Swan didn't really mean all of them.

36:15Because if Buck was in, then someone else was out.

36:18But who?

36:18Esposito, do you still have that sheet music that the Swan commissioned on the songwriter?

36:22It's right here.

36:23Perfect.

36:24I'm working on the song.

36:26See, these aren't run-of-the-mill power chords.

36:28You'd have to be pretty good to play them.

36:31Especially this part.

36:41Yeah, I can play that.

36:42That's good news, Zeke.

36:44Because we just so happen to have your bass guitar.

36:48Right here.

36:50Right in my face.

36:51Thank you, L.T.

36:52Very fine.

37:15I can't play it.

37:17That doesn't prove anything.

37:18No.

37:19But this does.

37:22This is a dry-cleaning ticket that we found in your trailer for clothes that you dropped off yesterday.

37:27There are still flecks of James Swan's blood on them.

37:40Do you know what it's like to play at all those crappy street fairs?

37:44Live on nothing but ramen noodles, sleep in a van for 14 months?

37:47And then he calls me to his trailer after the show and tells me that I'm out?

37:50I admit, I might not be the world's greatest bass player.

37:54No, but you sure can handle a guitar.

37:56Come on, man.

37:57I didn't mean to kill him.

37:59We're finally about to hit it big.

38:00And he wants to Pete Best me?

38:02For some roadie?

38:04I just...

38:06I just lost it.

38:08You know, Pete Best was a drummer.

38:19I think Stu Sutcliffe would have been a more apt comparison.

38:25I really appreciate what you guys did for James.

38:28And I'm always going to appreciate that.

38:30And I know he does, too.

38:36You know, I have something for you.

38:41I think James would have warned you to have it.

38:44Baseline is a little tricky.

38:46I think you might be able to handle it.

38:49Hey.

38:51So it's true?

38:52About Zeke?

38:53Yeah, I'm afraid so.

38:54This has not been a good week.

38:58Hey, um...

39:00I want to let you know, uh, we need a new bassist.

39:03Obviously.

39:04And I'm on my way to meet some guys right now.

39:06But I guess James thought you were pretty good.

39:10So if you want to come audition.

39:15Well, thanks, Keith.

39:16Yeah.

39:17Hey, man.

39:17Listen up, everyone.

39:18I, uh, just wanted to commend all of you on a job well done.

39:24As I always do at the end of every case.

39:27It's what makes catching the killer worthwhile.

39:30Which is strange, because you think it would be catching the killer.

39:33But no, it's...

39:34Uh, sir?

39:34Uh, I'm sorry.

39:35Sir, about the, uh, the footage that you were reviewing.

39:38Are you still working on that?

39:40No, I got through it.

39:42In fact, Detective Beckett, Mr. Castle, my office, please.

39:48I'm sure you both know why you're here.

40:01Sir, if you could just let us explain.

40:03Oh, you'd better.

40:04Because I don't find this very funny.

40:08I am proud to say that I have the, uh, highest rate of solving crimes here in New York City.

40:13That's due to, in no small part, to my five police officers and detectives who take their work rather seriously.

40:21Uh, they live here at the precinct.

40:24They dedicate their entire lives.

40:26Uh, we are a close-knit family.

40:28Would you call that behavior appropriate for a police precinct?

40:32Uh, I...

40:33No.

40:34You're damn right.

40:35Just what kind of PR debacle are you trying to inflict on me?

40:38Sorry, sir, that's the, uh, footage that you're talking about?

40:41That-that's it?

40:42That's not enough?

40:43Is there something else I should be looking for?

40:45Like, something on that tape they say is missing?

40:48No, not even on us.

40:49Nothing we know about.

40:50No, there's...

40:50Oh, for the love of...

40:51What kind of foolishness is going on out there?

40:56I'm going to eat all of this tape, you understand?

40:58All of it.

40:59You think of all the dreams we've been chasing

41:01Driving through the sunshine

41:06Driving through the rain

41:08Back down the road

41:11Again

41:12Drive away, drive away

41:16Can't you hear it calling?

41:19Roll away, roll away

41:21It's a brand new tolling

41:23Drive away, drive away

41:26Can't you hear it calling?

41:28See, I told you I could sing

41:39Thought I'm going to do that

41:41Now the wait is over

41:42And it's us against the world

41:44When I think of all the time I've been wasting

41:46I've been wasting

41:48I never would have made it

41:51On my own

41:53Look

41:54I know I'm not the easiest person on the planet to get to know

41:57But you guys have been patient

41:58And I've got something to show you

42:01It's a secret

42:02Actually, Castle doesn't even know about it

42:04It's this place that I love to go to

42:06And once you see it

42:08I think you guys will understand me a whole lot better

42:10All the way to the back

42:15On my own

42:17I never would have made it home

42:20Hey!

42:22Hey!

42:23Hey!
