Transcript
00:00Previously on Castle...
00:01Who killed my mother?
00:03No, kid, I'll give you a name. I know you. You run straight at him.
00:05I might as well shoot you where you stand.
00:06They're coming to kill you, and I'm not gonna let them up and end this.
00:10Before Montgomery went into that hangar, he sent a package to someone he trusted.
00:15It contained information damaging to the person behind all this.
00:18If they left you alone, the package and the information inside would never see the light of day.
00:23How do you know this?
00:24In order for the deal work, someone had to make sure he weren't pursuing it.
00:27How the hell could you do this?
00:29Because I love you.
00:30You cut a deal for my life like I was some kind of a child.
00:34We went after Montgomery's files.
00:35What did they break into Montgomery's place?
00:37They grabbed Montgomery's wedding album.
00:39Why?
00:39They're looking for someone that he knew.
00:41You keep going with this, they're gonna come for you, Kate.
00:44Let them come.
00:48You have no idea what you're up against.
00:50Castle!
00:52Back it!
00:53I'm putting you both on administrative leave, effective immediately.
00:56Keep it.
00:57I resign.
00:59But what do you want?
01:01You.
01:03You're a very hard man to find, Mr. Smith.
01:05You're gonna tell me where all that information is.
01:07And after you do, I'm gonna put Kate Beckett in the ground.
01:10Once and for all.
01:11Get your coffee.
01:25I saw it wasn't a dream.
01:32No.
01:33You definitely weren't dreaming.
01:35No, you were right.
01:40I had no idea.
01:42So you liked it?
01:42Yeah.
01:43Even the part where I was...
01:44Especially that part, I loved that.
01:46Good.
01:47Me too.
01:47Good.
01:47Me too.

02:08Good.
02:08Good.
02:13Good.
02:14I did just quit my job, and, I do have the day off.
02:19I do, too.
02:19Oh, really?
02:20Yes.
02:22So what would you, um, like to do today?
02:26Um, I don't know what you mean.
02:27Well, at R villains, there are some things that are independent.
02:28What'd you like to do today?
02:30Um, I don't know. We could read.
02:32We could watch TV.
02:33Yeah, we could get something to eat.
02:36We could do that, yeah.
02:39Richard, I'm home.
02:41Wake up.
02:41Look!
02:44Oh, God.
02:45You said she was at the Hamptons.
02:46She was at the Hamptons.
02:48She's not supposed to be here.
02:49Darling, we need to talk.
02:51Hide.
02:52What?
02:52Hide.
02:53Are you serious?
02:54Get in the closet.
02:55No, I'm not going.
02:56Get in the closet.
02:58What's going on?
02:59I'm just making the bed.
03:02Oh.
03:03What are you doing here?
03:04Well, I wanted to talk to you about your daughter's many fine qualities.
03:08Do we have to do this now?
03:09And to remind you that our Alexis is a paragon of grace and good sense and maturity,
03:15although where she got those qualities, I do not know.
03:19I would just be so much more comfortable having this conversation with my clothes on.
03:23Oh, well, yes.
03:25We'll meet you in the kitchen.
03:26We?
03:28Alexis is here, too?
03:34How about some tea?
03:36Tea can be very soothing.
03:37No, no tea.
03:38No tea.
03:39No.
03:39Alexis, are you hungover?
03:42Well, the graduation festivities got a tad out of hand, and Alexis called me from the
03:46party.
03:46I drove into town.
03:47I picked her up.
03:48So please don't get angry.
03:49Well, why didn't you call me?
03:50That's right.
03:51You didn't pick up.
03:52Oh.
03:53Right.
03:56Then that's on me.
03:58That's my bad.
04:00Well, Alexis, as your father, I have to say that I am deeply disappointed in you, and yet
04:07oddly proud.
04:08Um, the night is pounding.
04:10Oh, honey, I'll get you a couple of aspirin.
04:12No, aspirin.
04:15What do you mean?
04:16Why not?
04:16That's your first hangover.
04:18I mean, this is a milestone.
04:20It's a rite of passage.
04:21You want to experience this in its fullness, untrammeled by the relief of over-the-counter
04:28pain relievers.
04:30No.
04:31No.
04:32Okay.
04:32Aspirin it is, sweetheart.
04:33I'm sorry.
04:33So, any progress on Beckett's shooter?
04:40We searched the rental car.
04:41We still have no idea where he was going or even what his real name was, but we did find
04:45out what he stole from Captain Montgomery's house.
04:48Montgomery's wedding album?
04:49Why did Maddox want this?
04:51I'm guessing he wanted this missing photograph.
04:53It's possible he was after whoever was in it.
04:56Have you been able to track it down?
04:57Well, I've got Evelyn Montgomery bringing the negatives in, but the truth is, I'm a one-man
05:01band here.
05:02I could use a few more investigators.
05:03You can take it up with a vice president.
05:06I've already lost half my people to his security detail and about to lose the rest to traffic
05:10control, so for right now, you're on your own.
05:22You're putting yourself through this for nothing, Mr. Smith.
05:25We both know how it will end.
05:28Don't make me take this to the next level.
05:30Tell me where the file is.
05:35Go to hell.
05:36So you're here to apologize for hiding me in your closet?
05:53Look, let me explain.
05:54When I heard her voice, I reacted by instinct.
05:57Yeah, like the instinct of a sophomore in high school.
06:00Right.
06:01No, look, I...
06:03Wait a minute.
06:04You're embarrassed about being seen with me.
06:05Now, that is not true.
06:07Look, I, this, I...
06:09Okay, this is all just still very new to me and call me selfish, but I want to keep what
06:15we have together to ourselves a bit longer.
06:19Still, it wasn't your finest hour.
06:24No.
06:25But maybe I could make it up to you somehow.
06:32I suppose since we know that your mom's not going to be barging in, we could go for a round
06:35two.
06:36Well, technically, it would be round four.
06:38She's stalking us.
06:41She knows.
06:42Who is it?
06:42Beckett, it's Ryan.
06:44Oh.
06:46Hide.
06:46Quick, in the closet over there.
06:48Yeah, I'm not getting in there.
06:49Why?
06:49I hid in your closet.
06:50Why can't you hide in mine?
06:51Why should I?
06:52Beckett, is everything okay?
06:54Fine!
06:54Okay, maybe I'm not ready for anyone to know yet.
06:57Right now.
06:58Come on, how's he gonna know?
06:59You're here.
07:00Just like I was there.
07:01Yes, yes.
07:02The difference being I have my pants on, or are you embarrassed to be seen with me?
07:09Okay, fine.
07:11Just act normal, if that's even possible for you.
07:15It's me.
07:28Hey, Castle.
07:29What are you doing here?
07:30Well, I was just walking by the neighborhood.
07:34I only live 20...
07:36What are you doing here?
07:38I need to talk to you about the case.
07:41Uh, Ryan?
07:43Uh, no.
07:44Ryan, I've resigned.
07:46I'm done.
07:47Look, I hope this isn't because of Gates, or because of what I did.
07:53No.
07:54No, look, I get it.
07:55You were just trying to keep us safe.
07:57I still am.
07:58And this guy that threw you off the roof, he's still out there.
08:02Hey, Ryan.
08:05I know what this case has done to you.
08:08I'm not asking you to jump back in.
08:11I just want to show you something.
08:13That's all.
08:16I found a copy of the photo Maddox took from the wedding album.
08:20You're familiar with the guys that Roy ran with back in the day.
08:22Is he one of them?
08:23I've never seen him before.
08:26I have.
08:28This is the man I told you about.
08:30The one who's been keeping you safe.
08:34Are you sure?
08:35He's older now, but it's definitely him.
08:37What are we talking about here?
08:38Whatever information Montgomery gave to him,
08:41he's been using it to protect you.
08:43But now they've sent Maddox to hunt him down and get it back.
08:47If we don't get to him before Maddox does,
08:51you'll never be safe again.
08:52This guy who Maddox is looking for,
09:07he's the key.
09:08We find him,
09:09we find Montgomery's file.
09:10Which could lead to who's behind this whole thing,
09:12including your mother's murder.
09:15And all the times you talk,
09:16they never give you a name,
09:16even a fake one.
09:17No.
09:18Where he worked?
09:19No.
09:19Where he lived?
09:20No, nothing like that.
09:21He, um...
09:22He called my cell phone.
09:24Uh, two nights ago.
09:24Uh, uh, but from a blocked number.
09:27I'll run your phone record
09:27and see if I can trace the number he called from.
09:45This was supposed to be over.
09:48I can't go back again, not now.
09:51Well, now we don't have a choice
09:55if Maddox gets to him before we do.
09:56But I don't know how to do this.
09:59I'm not even a cop anymore.
10:01I'll tell you exactly what we do.
10:04We figure out who this is.
10:06We've done it before,
10:07and with less to go on.
10:09And when we do,
10:10we lay all of this to rest
10:11and we go back to where we were.
10:14This is what you're great at.
10:15And I'm not so bad myself.
10:19So,
10:20what do we know?
10:22We know this guy is about 60.
10:23He's a long-time New Yorker,
10:25uh,
10:26friends with Montgomery,
10:26so he may have connections to law enforcement.
10:32He, um...
10:33He seems prominent.
10:37Wealthy.
10:39That's right.
10:41And he has been that way
10:43ever since this photo was taken.
10:45How do you know that?
10:46Look at his wrist.
10:48That's a Nautilus 3800.
10:50It was 10 grand when it came out in 1981.
10:52That's the year Montgomery was married,
10:56in May of 1981.
10:59How many of these watches
11:00could possibly have been sold
11:01in five months?
11:03It's the year Montgomery was married,
11:08in May of 1981.
11:09How many of these watches
11:12could possibly have been sold
11:15in five months?
11:17Javi, I can't do what you're asking.
11:34I took a bullet for you, Cass.
11:36Did you forget that?
11:36I can't tap into the DOD database
11:38without authorization.
11:40I'll lose everything, man.
11:45Only if you get caught.
11:47And you won't.
11:51Evoke this from the liquidator.
11:52Cash.
11:53Sooner done,
11:54I'll wipe the drive.
11:56Ditch the box.
11:57It'll never come back to you.
11:58He's from the Army.
12:00Special Forces Delta,
12:01I don't know.
12:05This guy shot a friend of mine.
12:06Almost killed her.
12:08He's gonna keep coming,
12:09unless he's stopped.
12:10I need to ID him.
12:13You need to help me.
12:17Okay.
12:17Yes.
12:19All right.
12:20Watch company says that
12:2117 of the 3800s
12:23were sold in New York in 1981
12:24between January and May.
12:26And did they give you names
12:27of any of these clients?
12:28No, but nine of the 17 watches
12:31were given as gifts
12:32to a legal team
12:33at the law firm of PPC
12:35after they won a civil suit
12:36against big tobacco.
12:37Winning a tobacco lawsuit
12:39would get a lot of publicity.
12:40With any luck,
12:41we'll ID this guy
12:41before Ryan even traces that call.
12:43What do you mean
12:44you can't trace the call?
12:45Why the hell not?
12:47Look, I'm on the clock here.
12:49I need to know
12:49who made that call now.
12:52Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:52Just put Officer Hoban on.
12:53He's the guy
12:54you should deal with over there.
13:00Okay, so this is
13:01the PPC legal team
13:02that won the suit,
13:03but I don't see him.
13:05It was a nine-man team.
13:07There's only eight here.
13:08He must be the missing lawyer.
13:09Or he's not a lawyer at all.
13:11Or he is a lawyer,
13:12but he operates
13:14behind the scenes.
13:16He would be a counsel
13:18like Michael Clayton.
13:20Castle,
13:21his photo is 30 years old.
13:23We have no idea
13:24if this guy still works
13:25at that law firm
13:26or if he ever worked there at all.
13:28Back in.
13:29Bad news.
13:30The number the guy
13:30called Castle from
13:31came from a burner phone
13:32and it's out of service
13:33to whoever this guy is.
13:35He covered his tracks.
13:36Look,
13:37we've put out alerts from Maddox,
13:38circulated his photo
13:39all over the state.
13:40Someone will spot him.
13:42Well,
13:42we can't wait for that.
13:44Did you get anything?
13:45Well,
13:46there is one thing,
13:47but it's a long shot.
13:48The guy used voiceover internet
13:50instead of normal cell service,
13:51but he made a call
13:52in a bad signal area
13:54that got routed
13:55through a wireless network.
13:56Well,
13:56if it's a network,
13:57you'll have an IP address.
13:58Yeah,
13:59and we traced it.
14:01It's not even in New York.
14:03Then where is it?
14:04The call
14:05went through
14:06a wireless network
14:07that's registered
14:08to a Magellan yacht club
14:09in Westport, Connecticut.
14:10Thanks, Ryan.
14:13He must be a member
14:14of this club.
14:15Maybe
14:15there's a picture of him
14:17somewhere posted on the side.
14:24Castle.
14:25Look.
14:26On the of counsel
14:27attorney list.
14:29Now look at the board
14:30of directors.
14:30Michael Smith.
14:31That's him.
14:41Maddox found him first.
14:50Defile.
14:53Castle.
14:55He's still alive.
14:56Mr. Smith,
15:02can you hear me?
15:02Sir,
15:03I'm asking you
15:03to step away.
15:05The file.
15:08She's not safe.
15:1186.
15:1286?
15:13What does that mean?
15:13I don't know
15:13what that means.
15:1586?
15:15I don't understand.
15:16Sir, we have to get him
15:16to the ER.
15:17What does that mean?
15:18What does that mean?
15:18If Smith makes it,
15:22Ryan's going to put him
15:23under police guard.
15:25Make sure that Maddox
15:25doesn't come back
15:26and finish off the job.
15:28Smith just gave me a message.
15:29He said 86.
15:30It must be a clue
15:31to where the file is.
15:32We know where the file is.
15:33It's right there.
15:34It's burned to a crisp.
15:35No, Smith is too smart
15:36to only keep one copy
15:37and aid in his apartment.
15:38He's too careful for that.
15:39He's...
15:41It's a code.
15:41He answers your cell.
15:48We need to go.
15:59Well, the answer's got to be
16:00somewhere here.
16:01Castle, there's nothing
16:02left to find.
16:0386 could mean anything.
16:04You're just grasping at straws.
16:05Yes, I'm grasping at straws
16:07because if that file is gone,
16:09that means they're coming after you
16:10and there's absolutely nothing
16:11I can do.
16:12So yes, if there is a straw,
16:14I'm grasping.
16:15I guess we're not even
16:18supposed to be here.
16:19When uniforms come here,
16:20they're going to arrest us
16:21for breaking and entering.
16:22We're running out of time.
16:26Smith holds property
16:27in lower Manhattan.
16:28This one, 86 Markwell Street.
16:31That's what Smith said.
16:32He said 86 and that
16:33like something started with him.
16:35This building,
16:37this is where the file is.
16:38All right, so
16:46the building is 10 stories.
16:48How hard can it be
16:49to find a file, right?
16:50He would have hid it
16:51in a place that was safe
16:52from the demolition crew.
16:53Yes, which suggests that
16:55Mr. Smith not only owns
16:57this building,
16:57but he knows it inside and out.
17:00Hey.
17:01Thanks.
17:02For what?
17:03We haven't found it yet.
17:04I know I never would have
17:06gotten this far
17:07if it wasn't for you.
17:09Hey, we're going to get this done.
17:11You and me.
17:12We're going to start
17:13by ruling out
17:14all the interior walls.
17:15Smith wouldn't risk
17:16hiding it there
17:16with all this sheetrock
17:17getting torn down.
17:18Ceiling's no no good either.
17:19Castle?
17:29Michael Smith, 523.
17:31He didn't just own the building.
17:33He had an office
17:33on the fifth floor.
17:37Well, that's some
17:38helpful information.
17:39Turn around.
17:40Hands behind your back.
17:48You just don't know
17:49when to quit, do you?
17:52So you convinced Smith
17:53to tell you where the file was?
17:55He told me he was hidden
17:56in a floor safe,
17:57but he didn't tell me
17:58exactly where.
17:59Good thing you guys
18:00cleared that up.
18:01You didn't kill him
18:04in case you couldn't
18:05find the file.
18:07And once I do,
18:08I'm finally going to
18:09settle our account.
18:17See you soon.
18:18Okay, we've got a minute,
18:23maybe two to get
18:23the hell out of here.
18:24Castle, how tight
18:25are your zip ties?
18:25Can you move your hands at all?
18:26No, just barely.
18:27Do you have anything sharp
18:28in your pocket,
18:29like a knife?
18:30No.
18:31Nail clippers?
18:31No.
18:32Who carries nail clippers?
18:33Do you have keys?
18:33No, it's a fob.
18:34It's a remote.
18:35There's a drywall screw.
18:37Perfect.
18:38That's not going to help.
18:39I beg to differ.
18:40All I have to do is
18:41grab the zip tie
18:43and
18:44saw through.
19:07I am barely making
19:08a dent in this thing.
19:10That's all I hear
19:11footsteps.
19:12He's coming.
19:13Three.
19:15Man, if we got murdered
19:16right now,
19:16I'd feel so ripped off.
19:18Yeah.
19:19Me too.
19:20At least,
19:21at least we had last night.
19:23We should have done
19:24that four years ago.
19:28Done what four years ago?
19:32Maddox's real name
19:33is Cedric Marks.
19:35Once he finished his tour,
19:36he got a job at a place
19:37called Orantis Solutions,
19:39a kind of black ops
19:40military contractor.
19:41How did all that
19:41lead you here?
19:42Well, once I got his name,
19:44I put a bolo out on his car.
19:45Uniform spotted it
19:46outside this building.
19:47When I came to check on it,
19:48that's when I saw your car.
19:48Wait, wait, Espo.
19:50Five 23s around the corner.
19:51You got an extra piece?
19:52Yeah.
19:55Nice.
19:56What about for me?
19:58Oh, you mean an extra,
19:59extra piece?
20:02Wow.
20:03auch.
20:08Oh, you mean an extra piece!
20:15Oh.
20:17Oh.
20:18Oh.
20:18Oh.
20:26Oh.
20:29Don't move. Don't even breathe.
20:46Reach for it, and I'll blow your head off.
20:51Okay, detective. You're in charge.
20:54Now slowly reach down, and hand me the file.
20:59He's gone.
21:25It's with a warning, Smith.
21:26Oh, he knew that Maddox would show up here first.
21:29What the...
21:32The file.
21:34So, let me see if I understand.
21:44As luck would have it, you three were in the neighborhood taking a walk.
21:48Well, many people consider that the best form of exercise. It's low-impact, it has.
21:52Then you heard an explosion, and it's concerned private citizens. You rushed inside to check it out.
21:58Yeah, that's right.
22:01Is that how you remember it?
22:03Yes, sir.
22:04Captain Gates, I can personally vouch for it.
22:05I am not interested, Mr. Castle, as you specialize in fiction. Let's say you happen to be in the area. How do you explain the fact that Maddox, the killer we're searching for, and the man who shot you last year, is the one lying there dead?
22:18Bad karma.
22:19Bad karma.
22:22Detective Ryan?
22:26Do you know anything about this?
22:28Just that it appears the safe was rigged to blow when Maddox opened it.
22:32And what was in that safe?
22:33Hard to say. Papers of some kind.
22:36And I don't suppose you know what was in those papers, and why Maddox was here?
22:41Like I said, we were just walking by.
22:43We were so close. That file would have told us who's at the center of this and who killed my mom.
22:52At least Maddox won't be coming after you.
22:54He'll just send somebody else.
22:56Unless whoever's behind all this doesn't know the file's been destroyed. Maybe he thinks it's still in play.
23:00I wouldn't bet on that, would you?
23:03Shh.
23:13Whoa!
23:20You want to put that thing away?
23:22Well, this isn't Judas.
23:23Yeah, okay, pal. I'm gonna give it a break.
23:25Guys, come on.
23:28What are you doing here?
23:31I'm gonna bring you this.
23:34Paper from the safe?
23:37What are we looking for?
23:39Names, places, dates.
23:40Anything that tells us what was in these files, and why someone is so desperate to keep it hidden.
24:02Five hours.
24:04And all I got is something the size of a playing card.
24:06Not only that, it's blank.
24:07Yeah, well, I got ending balance here.
24:09I think it's some kind of bank statement.
24:13Not just a bank statement.
24:16Oh, this is part of a money order made out to cash. That could be a payoff.
24:21And whoever it went to is probably our guy.
24:22Well, that would make sense.
24:24Yeah, in what way?
24:24Well, all of this started when Montgomery and his cop buddies started kidnapping mobsters for ransom money.
24:29And we know that someone found out and demanded a cut of that money.
24:32And whoever that is, there's something in this file he does not want to get out.
24:36No, this has numbers on it.
24:39And it's machine printed.
24:40It's an eight-digit string, so it's not a phone number.
24:43Wait a minute.
24:43Oh, that's the...
24:45What is the back of that money order?
24:47And these digits?
24:48Zero, eight, six, seven, two, two, four, one.
24:49That's the account it was deposited in.
24:51If we figure out whose account that is, that should give us a name.
24:54And I think I know a way.
24:55Do you remember when we were checking banking accounts for the dirty bomb investigation?
24:59We used the federal banking database.
25:01I still remember the password.
25:02I'm not sure they even track accounts for them back this far.
25:10Whoever owns that account is the person that killed my mom.
25:15Run it.
25:16The account was closed 19 years ago.
25:29Born to a guy named William H. Bracken.
25:36You mean Senator William Bracken?
25:39According to the bio on his campaign website, Senator Bracken was assistant district attorney
25:56for New York from 88 till 92.
25:59Kate?
26:01I'm fine, Castle.
26:03Bracken's timeline fits.
26:04That's when Montgomery was kidnapping gangsters.
26:06Bracken must have heard about what they were doing to the grapevine.
26:08And then he realized that he couldn't charge mobsters
26:11because they wouldn't testify and then the cops would walk.
26:13So instead he decided to get in on the action.
26:16If they were collecting ransom from mob guys,
26:18he wanted a taste in the form of cash money hoarders.
26:20Right, but as this political star rose from congressman to senator,
26:23he realized he had to make sure the scandal never came to life.
26:26So then people started dying.
26:27Now this would explain why he's coming after you right now.
26:30Word is Bracken's being groomed from for president.
26:32He's trying to clean house and you're next.
26:34We need to take him down.
26:35How?
26:35All we have are a bunch of numbers that are meaningless to anyone but us.
26:39We have absolutely no hard evidence against him.
26:42I may have the next best thing.
26:45I just got word that Michael Smith is out of surgery and he's awake.
26:49Smith is the key.
26:51He can connect all this to Bracken.
26:52Okay, Castle and I are going to go talk to him.
26:54You guys see if you can find a link between Maddox and Bracken.
26:56Did Ryan call you?
27:03Yeah, he did.
27:07You're alive.
27:09Join the club.
27:10What about the other file?
27:14Maddox opened the safe.
27:16We put enough of it together to know that Bracken took dirty money.
27:19Close the door.
27:26The irony is he used that money to finance his first congressional campaign.
27:30We need proof of that, along with anything else that he did.
27:34There is no proof.
27:36Well, there's you.
27:39You can testify.
27:39That will never happen.
27:42You see, Roy Montgomery once did me a favor.
27:45So I kept that file.
27:47And I protected you at great personal cost.
27:51Because I owed Roy.
27:54But I don't owe you.
27:55So you're just going to let him get away with murder?
28:00You don't understand, detective.
28:02He's protected.
28:04Untouchable.
28:04You're just going to end up dead.
28:08And so am I.
28:12Now, as it is, my best bet is to just...
28:16disappear.
28:20I suggest you do the same.
28:23You know that you know too much?
28:25Just like Roy and my mom did, they found you once, they will find you again.
28:29And your only bet is to work with me.
28:42I'm tired.
28:43You need to go.
28:55Okay, thank you.
28:59Yeah, you just let me know if you figure anything out.
29:02All right.
29:03That was Ryan.
29:04He said they found no concrete connection between Maddox and Bracken.
29:07Yeah, we won't find one.
29:08Just be careful.
29:09Smith is the connection.
29:11Yeah, but he won't cooperate.
29:12Castle, he's already made that clear.
29:13This is his only play.
29:15He's smart enough to know that.
29:16He just needs a little bit of encouragement.
29:18Hey, wait.
29:27Why aren't you with Smith?
29:28The dispatch call told me to stand down.
29:30We're calling him.
29:41Wait, wait.
29:42What happened?
29:43Looks like a heart attack.
29:44We did everything we could.
29:45Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce to you, Vice President of the United States, Mr. John Russell.
29:55Thank you for your welcome.
30:05I finally figured out who he is, the guy that killed my mom, and there's nothing I can do about it.
30:13Did Ryan talk to you?
30:15Did he check those security cameras around Smith's room?
30:18Yes.
30:20And?
30:23Cameras were disabled.
30:26Okay.
30:27So they're coming for me.
30:29Ryan's got two teams stationed outside.
30:31And what about tomorrow?
30:34And the day after that?
30:36Let me take you someplace, Kate.
30:39Someplace you'll be safe.
30:40Oh.
30:45I'll never be safe.
30:51I'll never be safe.
30:51I'll never be safe.
30:55Come on.
31:02Come on!
31:03I don't know.
31:33What do you mean she's not here?
31:41I mean, she's not here and she's not answering herself.
31:43I thought you had a detail on her.
31:44I did. I do.
31:45If she would have left this building, they would have seen her.
31:47Not if she didn't want them to.
31:50Where's Senator Bracken right now?
31:52Oh, man, you don't think this is just...
31:54Yeah.
31:55It's Detective Kevin Ryan, badge number 42344.
31:57Can I get a 20 on Senator Bracken?
32:01He's hosting a fundraiser at the Widmark Hotel.
32:03Ask if anyone else has called to check on him.
32:04Did anyone call to check on him?
32:08Okay, thanks.
32:10I phoned him an hour ago.
32:13She's going to kill Senator Bracken.
32:14Hey, hey, Sticks.
32:28Hey, hey, Sticks.
32:43Hey, Detective Bracken.
32:44I got your own security detail, too.
32:45Yeah, you know, I need to speak with someone.
32:47You think I could jump this line?
32:52For you?
32:53Of course.
32:54Of course.
33:01Good to see you.
33:02Are you with me on that?
33:04You're supposed to be kissing babies.
33:05You're wasting your time, Detective.
33:17You have no idea what your evidence is.
33:21You woke the dragon.
33:23And this is so much bigger than you realize.
33:27This is my spot, Kate.
33:28This is where I stand.
33:30Are you with me on that?
33:58Excuse me, just for one minute, please.
34:18Hello?
34:20This is Kate Beckett.
34:24I can see you know the name.
34:27That's right.
34:29I'm watching.
34:32I don't know what this is about, but I am not interested in playing games.
34:36Well, you better get interested.
34:39I have information that will destroy your career, and I won't use it unless you do exactly as I say.
34:45We need to talk to Senator Bracken.
34:54He's in a meeting with a donor.
34:56What donor?
34:56Where is he?
34:57He didn't say.
34:57What do you call?
35:02What do you call?
35:03Gates?
35:04Um, put that phone away.
35:06I'm gonna break your frickin' arm.
35:07Javi, we can't let her throw her life away.
35:09We don't know she's doing that.
35:11What do you mean?
35:11You're the one who said she was gonna kill the guy.
35:13Hey, I know.
35:14Okay, yes, that's right.
35:15But she hasn't done that yet.
35:18Right?
35:19Look, you make that call, you're labeling her an assassin.
35:22That's a bell you can't unring.
35:24So let's not make that call.
35:25Not yet.
35:25That's far enough.
35:47What do you want, Miss Beckett?
35:49The truth.
35:52Never expect that from a politician.
35:54Besides, if you really had information, wouldn't you already know the truth?
36:00Roy Montgomery, McAllister, John Raglan, my mother, everyone that you've ever had killed,
36:08I want you to admit to it.
36:10Your mother's death was a tragedy.
36:14And I am deeply sorry for your loss.
36:19But I can't give you what you want.
36:24When I was 14, I got to be friends with this boy in the neighborhood, Lamar Doakes.
36:32Sweet kid.
36:34I used to help him with his homework after school.
36:36Well, one day he doesn't come to school.
36:39So I went by his apartment and the door was open.
36:43I walked in and I found Lamar lying on his mattress, dead.
36:54His little sister, the same way his mother was in the bedroom.
36:59She had hanged herself.
37:00Now, she left a note.
37:02She'd lost her job.
37:03She was being evicted.
37:05And I thought, how could a woman be so desperate, so without hope, that she could crush up pills,
37:11put them in hot chocolate, and give them to her kids?
37:14And that was the moment.
37:19The moment I knew I wanted to help make people's lives better.
37:23And I have.
37:25I strengthened the safety net to protect kids like Lamar.
37:28I created jobs in those neighborhoods.
37:30I've done great things.
37:32Just as you've done great things.
37:34Who do you think you're talking to?
37:49How can you justify yourself to me?
37:56My mother was stabbed in an alley because of you.
38:01She bled to death alone.
38:05In a pile of garbage.
38:06So save me your campaign speeches about the great thing.
38:10You sound a bit delusional, you know?
38:14But then again, who are you?
38:15You're a disgraced cop obsessed with her mother's murder.
38:19And who am I?
38:20I'm a decent man looking out for the little guy.
38:23That's who the public sees.
38:26And every time they elect me, I'm humbled.
38:30I strive harder to live up to that ideal.
38:32I want to be that man.
38:34And I won't let you, or anyone else, get in my way.
38:43I don't think you're in a position to threaten, Senator.
38:47So here's what you don't understand.
38:50It's not who has the gun.
38:52It's who has the power.
38:55Do you really think that's you?
38:57I have the file.
39:13Smith had another copy.
39:180-8-6-7-2-2-4-1.
39:29That's the number of the bank account where you deposited the money orders.
39:32So you're right.
39:34It is about who holds the power.
39:38Now I could release that file and destroy you.
39:42But what would that mean for my life expectancy?
39:45So here's how it is.
39:49The deal that you had with Smith, that's our deal now.
39:53And if anything happens to me, or anyone that I care about, that file goes public, am I clear?
40:03That's a yes or no question.
40:12Yes.
40:14And one more thing.
40:18Whoever it is you think I am, whatever it is you think you know about me,
40:24you have no idea what I'm capable of, or how far I will go.
40:31I am done being afraid.
40:35It's your turn now.
40:43That's gonna leave a nasty scar.
40:47Every time you see it, think of me.
40:54Kate, tell me you didn't.
41:13We reached an understanding.
41:15What about your mom?
41:16I'll get justice for her, just not today.
41:20Till then, get it for others.
41:24Your resignation has been accepted.
41:30The matter is settled.
41:31Sir, I have the top case closure rate in the precinct.
41:36And now that the man that shot me is dead, that particular case will no longer be an issue.
41:40Really?
41:41Because it seems to be the gift that keeps on giving.
41:44I'm told we put a Michael Smith under guard at the hospital.
41:48What was his role in this?
41:49I, I don't know.
41:52I don't believe you.
41:55You're covering for someone, and I know who it is.
42:01But I don't intend to dig up the past and tarnish Roy Montgomery's reputation.
42:06The fact is, I, I admire your loyalty.
42:09I hope you feel that for me someday.
42:14Does that mean I can show up for duty tomorrow?
42:18No?
42:19What does she mean, no?
42:21I'll have to serve out my suspension.
42:23Same as Esposito.
42:24What are you going to do in the meantime?
42:26Oh, I'm pretty sure I'll think of something.
42:27What are you going to do in the meantime?
42:57I'll be right back.
43:14I'll be right back.
43:21What are you going to do in the meantime?
