1
00:00:01,258 --> 00:00:02,237
There are two kinds of folks
2
00:00:02,264 --> 00:00:03,864
who sit around thinking
about how to kill people:
3
00:00:04,198 --> 00:00:05,924
psychopaths
and mystery writers.
4
00:00:06,262 --> 00:00:07,284
I'm the kind that pays better.
5
00:00:07,385 --> 00:00:08,085
Who am I?
6
00:00:08,174 --> 00:00:09,313
I'm Rick Castle.
7
00:00:09,314 --> 00:00:09,714
Castle.
8
00:00:09,748 --> 00:00:10,408
Castle.
9
00:00:10,409 --> 00:00:12,409
I really am ruggedly handsome,
aren't I?
10
00:00:12,655 --> 00:00:14,845
Every writer needs inspiration.
And I found mine.
11
00:00:14,955 --> 00:00:15,774
Detective Kate Beckett.
12
00:00:15,809 --> 00:00:16,829
- Beckett.
- Beckett.
13
00:00:16,864 --> 00:00:18,770
- Nikki Heat?
- The character he's basing on you.
14
00:00:18,816 --> 00:00:20,302
And thanks to my friendship
with the mayor,
15
00:00:20,303 --> 00:00:21,303
I get to be on her case.
16
00:00:21,337 --> 00:00:23,280
I would be happy
to let you spank me.
17
00:00:23,315 --> 00:00:24,191
And together, we catch killers
18
00:00:25,139 --> 00:00:26,127
We make a pretty
good team, you know?
19
00:00:26,228 --> 00:00:27,228
Like Starsky and Hutch.
20
00:00:27,362 --> 00:00:28,056
Turner and Hooch.
21
00:00:28,157 --> 00:00:29,757
You do remind me
a little of Hooch.
22
00:00:31,281 --> 00:00:33,795
♪ I want to trade... ♪
23
00:00:33,796 --> 00:00:36,310
Oh, excuse me, baby.
Oh, boy.
24
00:00:36,311 --> 00:00:38,159
Ah, home sweet home.
25
00:00:38,260 --> 00:00:40,140
Can we get Midnight
from the kennel now?
26
00:00:40,141 --> 00:00:42,141
We'll get him as soon
as we're settled, okay?
27
00:00:42,242 --> 00:00:43,242
I'm hungry.
28
00:00:43,642 --> 00:00:44,782
Let mommy get situated,
29
00:00:44,783 --> 00:00:46,361
then I'll make you a bowl
of hot cereal, okay?
30
00:00:46,362 --> 00:00:47,762
- Okay.
- Come here.
31
00:00:49,669 --> 00:00:51,774
Honey, you said you were
gonna wash the dishes
32
00:00:51,775 --> 00:00:53,044
before we left.
33
00:00:54,845 --> 00:00:56,816
Didn't you make the bed
before we left?
34
00:00:56,817 --> 00:00:58,822
Someone's been sleeping
in our bed.
35
00:00:58,823 --> 00:01:00,561
Someone's been sleeping
in my bed, too,
36
00:01:00,562 --> 00:01:02,064
And he's still there.
37
00:01:02,065 --> 00:01:04,236
What?
Baby, go wait in our room.
38
00:01:04,237 --> 00:01:06,075
Is he asleep?
39
00:01:09,884 --> 00:01:11,955
Oh, yeah!
40
00:01:11,956 --> 00:01:13,759
That's what
I'm talking about.
41
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,933
Darling, must you talk so loud?
Some of us are still waking up.
42
00:01:16,934 --> 00:01:18,571
What's all
the excitement about?
43
00:01:18,572 --> 00:01:20,509
Only
the "New York Ledger's"
44
00:01:20,510 --> 00:01:22,714
annual ten most eligible
bachelor's list,
45
00:01:22,715 --> 00:01:24,885
And guess who's on it.
Who?
46
00:01:24,886 --> 00:01:27,425
I don't know, but he must be
the president of
47
00:01:27,426 --> 00:01:30,163
the really-good-looking club.
Huh. Ranked number 9.
48
00:01:30,164 --> 00:01:32,568
Weren't you number 7 last year?
Yes, and thank you
49
00:01:32,569 --> 00:01:34,507
for pointing out my shortcomings
once again, mother.
50
00:01:34,508 --> 00:01:35,508
Ah, that's my job.
51
00:01:35,708 --> 00:01:37,511
Luckily all my friends
are beyond print media.
52
00:01:37,512 --> 00:01:39,147
What about this
is embarrassing?
53
00:01:39,148 --> 00:01:41,652
Nothing. It's the secret dream
of every 16 year old
54
00:01:41,653 --> 00:01:43,389
to have their father crowned
55
00:01:43,390 --> 00:01:44,860
one of the most
available hotties of the year.
56
00:01:44,861 --> 00:01:45,861
Well, according to this,
57
00:01:45,861 --> 00:01:48,432
your father may not be
on the market.
58
00:01:48,433 --> 00:01:50,771
You didn'tead the blurb here?
Mnh-mnh.
59
00:01:50,772 --> 00:01:53,710
"though claiming to be single,
Richard Castle is rumored to be
60
00:01:53,711 --> 00:01:57,115
romantically involved with NYPD
Detective Kate Beckett"...
61
00:01:57,116 --> 00:01:57,616
What?!
62
00:01:57,716 --> 00:02:00,486
"the inspiration
for Nikki Heat,
63
00:02:00,487 --> 00:02:02,489
"the heroine of
his latest best-selling novel.
64
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:06,596
Bachelor number 9 may not be
eligible for next year's list."
65
00:02:06,597 --> 00:02:09,067
What? Where did they get that?
Wait. Let me see.
66
00:02:09,068 --> 00:02:11,974
I didn't say anything like that
in my interview..
67
00:02:11,975 --> 00:02:15,113
Detective Beckett is not
going to love this.
68
00:02:15,114 --> 00:02:18,151
Well, maybe she'll just
laugh it off.
69
00:02:18,152 --> 00:02:20,623
How is it, for a man
who is surrounded by women,
70
00:02:20,624 --> 00:02:22,594
that you know so little
about us?
71
00:02:22,595 --> 00:02:24,396
Speak of the devil.
72
00:02:24,397 --> 00:02:27,469
Okay, either Beckett's calling
because there's a dead body
73
00:02:27,470 --> 00:02:30,341
or because she read the article.
Pray for murder.
74
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,016
Good morning.
75
00:02:35,017 --> 00:02:37,319
Dead body. I'm good.
76
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,225
No one else
had access to it, your maid...
77
00:02:40,226 --> 00:02:43,261
No.
Or anything like that? Okay.
78
00:02:45,396 --> 00:02:47,330
Your daughter's school,
they knew about...
79
00:02:47,331 --> 00:02:50,365
they knew about you guys
going out of town?
80
00:02:59,973 --> 00:03:01,407
What?
81
00:03:01,408 --> 00:03:03,811
What, what?
82
00:03:03,812 --> 00:03:05,780
So what have we got?
83
00:03:05,781 --> 00:03:08,417
Your guess is as good as mine.
John Doe, no I.D.
84
00:03:08,418 --> 00:03:11,221
Approximate time of death
is between 9:00 last night
85
00:03:11,222 --> 00:03:12,459
And 1:00 this morning.
86
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:14,960
The family found him after
returning from vacation.
87
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:17,129
Apparently he made himself
quite at home.
88
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:19,198
How so?
Well, we found
89
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,535
his food in the fridge,
toiletries in the bathroom,
90
00:03:21,536 --> 00:03:23,106
even some of his clothes
in the dryer.
91
00:03:23,107 --> 00:03:24,407
A real-life goldilocks.
92
00:03:24,507 --> 00:03:26,810
Mm-hmm. It looks as though he
even slept in the parents' bed.
93
00:03:26,811 --> 00:03:27,711
Well, of course.
94
00:03:27,811 --> 00:03:29,012
That one was too hard,
95
00:03:29,013 --> 00:03:30,915
and baby bear's bed
was just right.
96
00:03:31,616 --> 00:03:32,451
Looks like he struggled.
97
00:03:32,452 --> 00:03:33,452
Unsuccessfully.
98
00:03:33,752 --> 00:03:37,321
Here. You see at? It's
a needle mark from a syringe.
99
00:03:37,322 --> 00:03:39,157
Probably was injected
with something
100
00:03:39,158 --> 00:03:39,960
that stopped his heart.
101
00:03:39,961 --> 00:03:41,329
I'll run toxicology.
102
00:03:41,330 --> 00:03:43,298
as soon as I can pinpoint
a C.O.D., I'll give you a call.
103
00:03:43,299 --> 00:03:44,099
Great. Thank you.
104
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:45,265
Mm-hmm.
105
00:03:46,066 --> 00:03:46,800
Hey.
106
00:03:48,303 --> 00:03:50,238
You know who kills
with syringes?
107
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:52,007
Mad doctors
and b-movie nazis.
108
00:03:52,008 --> 00:03:54,109
Why not just use a gun?
Guns are loud.
109
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:56,678
I've seen squatters
in abandoned buildings,
110
00:03:56,679 --> 00:03:57,647
but nothing like this.
111
00:03:57,648 --> 00:04:00,250
And then someone sneaks in
and kills him with a needle.
112
00:04:00,251 --> 00:04:01,452
Weird.
Mm-hmm.
113
00:04:01,453 --> 00:04:02,453
How are
the Dysons doing?
114
00:04:02,553 --> 00:04:04,289
Mom and dad
are pretty shaken up.
115
00:04:04,290 --> 00:04:05,926
Little girl doesn't really know
what's going on.
116
00:04:05,927 --> 00:04:07,127
Did anyone know
they were leaving town?
117
00:04:07,727 --> 00:04:09,962
Uh, just people from work,
daughter's school,
118
00:04:09,963 --> 00:04:10,898
stuff like that.
We're running it down.
119
00:04:10,899 --> 00:04:11,899
Hey, check this out.
120
00:04:12,399 --> 00:04:14,466
Dysons found this
in the kitchen,
121
00:04:14,467 --> 00:04:16,201
said it's not theirs.
122
00:04:19,002 --> 00:04:21,070
This is here.
123
00:04:21,071 --> 00:04:22,671
Yeah, weird, huh?
124
00:04:22,672 --> 00:04:24,573
Why would he take pictures?
125
00:04:24,574 --> 00:04:26,942
So he could put everything back
the way he found it.
126
00:04:26,943 --> 00:04:28,977
He was hoping nobody
would know that he was here.
127
00:04:28,978 --> 00:04:29,945
Almost as though
he was hiding.
128
00:04:29,946 --> 00:04:31,746
All right, have a tech
pull the memory card.
129
00:04:31,746 --> 00:04:34,514
See if any of the deleted photos
can tell us who he is.
130
00:04:34,515 --> 00:04:37,450
Ooh, she is gonna kill him.
He's dead.
131
00:04:37,451 --> 00:04:41,519
So, Castle, is it true? Are you
finally off the market?
132
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,255
You guys, if either of you
breathe a word of this...
133
00:04:44,256 --> 00:04:45,424
I swear, I will make you pay.
134
00:04:45,425 --> 00:04:47,425
Montgomery's up to speed.
Anything back from
135
00:04:47,525 --> 00:04:50,462
the Dysons' workplace
or the kid's... School?
136
00:04:50,463 --> 00:04:51,663
I ran background checks
137
00:04:51,763 --> 00:04:53,698
on everyone who knew the family
was gonna be out of town.
138
00:04:53,699 --> 00:04:56,100
So far everyone's come back clean,
but I'm gonna keep digging.
139
00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:57,070
Anything on the canvass?
140
00:04:57,170 --> 00:04:58,937
A whole lot of nothing.
No doorman on the building.
141
00:04:58,938 --> 00:05:01,439
None of the Dyson's neighbors
noticed anything out of the ordinary.
142
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,908
Shocker. I've lived
in my spot eight years.
143
00:05:04,009 --> 00:05:05,078
I couldn't pick my neighbors
out of a lineup.
144
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:06,379
Well, that's Manhattan
for you.
145
00:05:06,479 --> 00:05:08,613
Nobody notices anything unless
it affects them directly.
146
00:05:09,014 --> 00:05:11,850
Unless it's in the paper.
Excuse me. Beckett.
147
00:05:13,151 --> 00:05:14,351
Great. Okay, good.
148
00:05:14,451 --> 00:05:16,383
Got a hit off of
John Doe's fingerprints.
149
00:05:16,484 --> 00:05:18,618
Douglass Bishop.
He's in the system.
150
00:05:20,420 --> 00:05:21,752
Douglass Bishop...
151
00:05:21,753 --> 00:05:25,187
arrested once ten years ago--
152
00:05:25,188 --> 00:05:26,955
Misdemeanor
drunk and disorderly.
153
00:05:26,956 --> 00:05:29,490
Charges were dropped.
Besides that, he's clean.
154
00:05:29,491 --> 00:05:31,525
All right,
find the next of kin.
155
00:05:31,526 --> 00:05:32,628
After they I.D. the body,
maybe they can tell us
156
00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:35,629
what the hell he was doing
in that apartment.
157
00:05:35,930 --> 00:05:38,099
I got the results back
from the lab.
158
00:05:38,300 --> 00:05:40,766
He was injected with
an anesthetic--ketamine.
159
00:05:40,767 --> 00:05:44,134
Special "K"?
He was killed by a club drug?
160
00:05:44,135 --> 00:05:45,435
Not in this dose.
161
00:05:45,736 --> 00:05:48,204
Whoever shot up Mr. Bishop was
not looking to get him high.
162
00:05:48,205 --> 00:05:50,207
Gave him enough
to put down a horse.
163
00:05:52,308 --> 00:05:53,408
The victim's sister
is here.
164
00:05:53,409 --> 00:05:54,909
I'm Detective Beckett.
165
00:05:54,910 --> 00:05:57,679
Thank you so much
for coming down.
166
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,313
Is--is that him?
167
00:05:59,314 --> 00:06:02,082
Is that Doug?
168
00:06:03,083 --> 00:06:05,485
That's what we'll need you
to verify.
169
00:06:12,857 --> 00:06:15,258
None of this
makes any sense.
170
00:06:15,259 --> 00:06:17,993
I mean, why would Doug be living
in these people's apartment?
171
00:06:17,994 --> 00:06:19,195
He's got his own place
out in Hoboken.
172
00:06:19,196 --> 00:06:20,896
Is it possible that
your brother was in trouble,
173
00:06:20,996 --> 00:06:22,696
that he was hiding
from someone?
174
00:06:22,697 --> 00:06:24,664
No. Everybody loved Doug.
175
00:06:24,665 --> 00:06:27,065
Did he owe anybody money
176
00:06:27,066 --> 00:06:29,100
or have
any financial problems?
177
00:06:29,101 --> 00:06:30,735
Not that I know of.
178
00:06:30,736 --> 00:06:32,736
I-I mean, his hours
at the travel agency
179
00:06:32,737 --> 00:06:34,337
got cut back,
180
00:06:34,338 --> 00:06:35,904
but he was getting by.
181
00:06:35,905 --> 00:06:38,006
Travel agency.
182
00:06:38,007 --> 00:06:39,542
Maybe that's how he knew
the Dysons were out of town.
183
00:06:39,543 --> 00:06:40,643
But if he were in trouble,
184
00:06:40,743 --> 00:06:42,380
he would've raided
his scuba fund.
185
00:06:43,081 --> 00:06:44,081
Yeah.
186
00:06:44,381 --> 00:06:47,383
He was always saying that
someday when his ship came in,
187
00:06:47,384 --> 00:06:49,387
he was gonna get himself
a little--
188
00:06:49,388 --> 00:06:50,391
A little scuba shop
down in Jamaica.
189
00:06:50,392 --> 00:06:52,092
Doug was saving up for it.
190
00:06:52,192 --> 00:06:54,393
He would put a portion of his paycheck
191
00:06:54,394 --> 00:06:55,662
in an account every month.
192
00:06:55,663 --> 00:06:57,632
When was the last time
you saw your brother?
193
00:06:58,133 --> 00:06:59,767
Not since the holiday party.
194
00:07:01,168 --> 00:07:03,936
Doug's agency threw it
out by the airport,
195
00:07:03,937 --> 00:07:06,772
which is where Stan works,
so we all went.
196
00:07:06,773 --> 00:07:09,674
You just never think something
like this is gonna happen.
197
00:07:09,675 --> 00:07:12,843
So you don't make time.
198
00:07:12,844 --> 00:07:14,411
Okay, thank you.
199
00:07:17,215 --> 00:07:19,683
That was the travel agency.
200
00:07:19,684 --> 00:07:21,551
If Doug was hiding
from someone,
201
00:07:21,552 --> 00:07:23,586
he wasn't doing
a very good job.
202
00:07:23,587 --> 00:07:26,321
Apparently he hasn't missed
a day of work until yesterday.
203
00:07:26,322 --> 00:07:27,190
What about the Dysons' trip?
204
00:07:27,191 --> 00:07:28,891
They booked it
through a different agency.
205
00:07:29,191 --> 00:07:31,192
The scuba fund?
Didn't touch it.
206
00:07:31,193 --> 00:07:34,128
So he wasn't in hiding,
he didn't owe anybody any money
207
00:07:34,129 --> 00:07:36,263
and he had no discernable way
208
00:07:36,264 --> 00:07:37,566
of knowing when the Dysons
would be out of town.
209
00:07:37,567 --> 00:07:38,567
Hey, Beckett.
210
00:07:39,367 --> 00:07:41,435
The geeks managed to pull
the deleted photos from
211
00:07:41,436 --> 00:07:44,404
our squatter's memory card.
Care to take a look?
212
00:07:44,405 --> 00:07:47,673
Stuff on counters,
inside cabinets.
213
00:07:47,674 --> 00:07:49,273
That's not
the Dysons' place.
214
00:07:49,274 --> 00:07:51,539
He's done this before,
but in other apartments.
215
00:07:51,540 --> 00:07:52,541
Maybe he does it
for the thrill.
216
00:07:52,742 --> 00:07:54,742
Maybe someone found out
and got mad.
217
00:07:55,142 --> 00:07:58,610
Yeah, but he'd still have to
know when they were away.
218
00:07:58,611 --> 00:08:01,613
Unless Doug Bishop
isn't our squatter.
219
00:08:01,614 --> 00:08:03,881
That's definitely not
Doug Bishop.
220
00:08:03,882 --> 00:08:05,017
Who is he?
221
00:08:06,318 --> 00:08:09,086
He's probably our killer.

-- Sync, corrected by elderman --

224
00:08:15,969 --> 00:08:17,007
What kind of psychopath
225
00:08:17,008 --> 00:08:19,476
Takes pictures of himself
and his murder weapons?
226
00:08:19,477 --> 00:08:20,477
Some killers keep trophies.
227
00:08:20,777 --> 00:08:23,845
In his defense,
he did delete these photos.
228
00:08:23,846 --> 00:08:27,482
.45 with a silencer. Wonder what
he had lined up for this?
229
00:08:27,483 --> 00:08:29,984
Nothing good. Has C.S.U.
pulled the prints
230
00:08:29,985 --> 00:08:31,253
off of the camera
and personal effects?
231
00:08:31,254 --> 00:08:32,254
Yeah, they don't match
Doug Bishop
232
00:08:32,154 --> 00:08:34,154
and they're not
in the system.
233
00:08:34,155 --> 00:08:35,256
Which means
he doesn't have a record.
234
00:08:35,257 --> 00:08:36,557
Well, if Doug wasn't
our squatter,
235
00:08:36,657 --> 00:08:38,358
what was he doing
in the Dysons' apartment?
236
00:08:38,459 --> 00:08:40,360
He had to have known
the squatter somehow.
237
00:08:40,361 --> 00:08:41,561
If this squatter
was so meticulous
238
00:08:41,661 --> 00:08:43,895
about putting things back,
why'd he leave all this for us to find?
239
00:08:43,896 --> 00:08:45,964
You're right.
It--it makes no sense.
240
00:08:46,965 --> 00:08:49,967
What? No grand theatrical theory
to spin for us?
241
00:08:49,968 --> 00:08:51,902
Honestly, I-I got nothing.
242
00:08:51,903 --> 00:08:54,471
More importantly, we don't have
any prints or leads.
243
00:08:54,472 --> 00:08:55,907
How are we
gonna catch a ghost?
244
00:08:56,108 --> 00:08:57,508
By finding out how he haunts.
245
00:08:57,608 --> 00:09:00,476
If we can figure out
how the squatter knew
246
00:09:00,477 --> 00:09:03,445
his marks were out of town,
find something that connects him
247
00:09:03,446 --> 00:09:04,446
to the other places
that he stayed,
248
00:09:04,547 --> 00:09:05,781
then maybe we can
narrow down the field.
249
00:09:05,782 --> 00:09:07,082
We'll ke going through these.
250
00:09:07,182 --> 00:09:09,050
With any luck, we'll find
something that can tell us
251
00:09:09,051 --> 00:09:12,019
whose apartments these are.
Okay, great. Thank you.
252
00:09:20,258 --> 00:09:22,493
Hey.
253
00:09:22,494 --> 00:09:24,494
Hey.
What are you doing?
254
00:09:24,495 --> 00:09:26,197
I'm looking to see
who won the game last night.
255
00:09:26,198 --> 00:09:27,198
Oh, we won.
256
00:09:27,898 --> 00:09:28,633
Do you even know what game
I'm talking about?
257
00:09:28,634 --> 00:09:29,634
Sure I do...
258
00:09:29,935 --> 00:09:30,935
the big game.
259
00:09:33,671 --> 00:09:35,006
Okay, Castle.
What's going on?
260
00:09:35,107 --> 00:09:36,774
Yo, Beckett. Check this out.
261
00:09:36,775 --> 00:09:39,343
He took a picture of the inside
of someone's medicine cabinet.
262
00:09:39,344 --> 00:09:41,413
You can almost make out the name
on these prescription bottles.
263
00:09:42,214 --> 00:09:43,414
Have I.S.
take a look at it,
264
00:09:43,514 --> 00:09:45,081
see if they can enhance
the photo.
265
00:09:50,685 --> 00:09:51,552
Oh, God.
266
00:09:51,553 --> 00:09:53,753
He went through
my medicine cabinet?
267
00:09:53,754 --> 00:09:56,088
Please tell me
he didn't go through my diary.
268
00:09:56,089 --> 00:09:58,090
Oh, we're not sure,
Ms. Langford.
269
00:09:58,091 --> 00:09:59,492
Are you sure
you don't recognize him?
270
00:09:59,493 --> 00:10:00,493
Yeah, I'm positive.
271
00:10:00,793 --> 00:10:03,561
And you don't know the Dysons?
No.
272
00:10:03,562 --> 00:10:06,231
The only person that knew I was
even out of town was my mother.
273
00:10:06,232 --> 00:10:08,533
Everyone else
thought I was on sick leave.
274
00:10:08,534 --> 00:10:11,002
You won't tell my boss that,
will you?
275
00:10:11,003 --> 00:10:13,971
Did you notice anything unusual
when you returned?
276
00:10:15,072 --> 00:10:17,207
Oh,
that totally explains it.
277
00:10:17,208 --> 00:10:18,209
What?
278
00:10:18,210 --> 00:10:20,810
My faucet. For weeks,
I've been asking my super
279
00:10:20,910 --> 00:10:22,745
to fix my leaky faucet,
but he never came.
280
00:10:22,746 --> 00:10:24,613
and then when I got back,
it was fixed.
281
00:10:24,614 --> 00:10:26,516
So I just assumed
that he finally did it,
282
00:10:26,617 --> 00:10:28,486
but then later,
when I saw him on the stairs,
283
00:10:29,087 --> 00:10:30,321
He didn't even know
what I was talking about.
284
00:10:30,322 --> 00:10:32,122
The squatter fixed your sink?
285
00:10:32,822 --> 00:10:35,088
Yeah. And there was
this bottle of, um,
286
00:10:35,289 --> 00:10:37,858
like weird strawberry champagne
in the fridge.
287
00:10:38,259 --> 00:10:40,594
And I just assumed that
one of my friends had left it
288
00:10:40,595 --> 00:10:44,663
during a dinner party I had
before I left, but...
289
00:10:44,664 --> 00:10:46,932
none of my friends
would've bought such a--
290
00:10:46,933 --> 00:10:49,000
cheap bottle of booze.
Exactly.
291
00:10:49,001 --> 00:10:51,335
So he makes repairs,
292
00:10:51,336 --> 00:10:54,470
leaves hostess gifts--
he's the gentleman squatter.
293
00:10:54,471 --> 00:10:56,241
Who killed a man,
so don't make him out to be
294
00:10:56,242 --> 00:10:57,510
the houseguest of the year.
295
00:10:57,911 --> 00:10:59,483
Thank you for coming in,
Ms. Langford.
296
00:10:59,584 --> 00:11:04,019
By the way, that photo in the paper
did you no justice.
297
00:11:04,020 --> 00:11:05,555
You're much better looking
in person.
298
00:11:05,756 --> 00:11:07,356
There's a picture of you
in the paper?
299
00:11:07,556 --> 00:11:09,991
So are you
the Detective girlfriend?
300
00:11:10,292 --> 00:11:12,059
I'm sorry, the what?
301
00:11:12,060 --> 00:11:15,095
He... is such a catch.
302
00:11:15,096 --> 00:11:16,196
Don't.
303
00:11:16,197 --> 00:11:18,831
Show me. Now.
304
00:11:18,832 --> 00:11:21,967
"romantically involved"?
"rumored to be."
305
00:11:21,968 --> 00:11:23,004
What did you tell them?
306
00:11:23,005 --> 00:11:24,905
Nothing!
Why would I do that?
307
00:11:25,005 --> 00:11:26,938
Do you have any idea what this
does to my reputation?
308
00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:29,640
Your reputation?
What about my reputation?
309
00:11:29,641 --> 00:11:31,743
I am just as upset as you are.
I'm on your team.
310
00:11:32,144 --> 00:11:33,178
This is shoddy journalism,
311
00:11:33,179 --> 00:11:35,749
and I am two seconds away
from canceling my subscription.
312
00:11:35,750 --> 00:11:36,451
My subscription.
313
00:11:36,452 --> 00:11:40,252
Do you have any idea how hard
it is to be a female cop?
314
00:11:40,352 --> 00:11:42,487
The last thing I need is for you
to give them more ammo to--
315
00:11:42,488 --> 00:11:43,588
Yes, the "New York Ledger,"
please.
316
00:11:43,630 --> 00:11:44,156
What are you doing?
317
00:11:44,157 --> 00:11:45,757
Langford said that
the only person
318
00:11:45,857 --> 00:11:48,292
who knew she was on vacation was
her mother, but that's not true.
319
00:11:48,393 --> 00:11:50,296
If she was actually
pretending to be sick,
320
00:11:50,297 --> 00:11:52,600
the last thing she'd want is newspapers
piling up at her front door.
321
00:11:52,801 --> 00:11:53,834
She had the papers held.
322
00:11:53,935 --> 00:11:55,436
Yes, your subscription
department, please.
323
00:11:55,737 --> 00:11:58,872
Anyone with access to vacation
hold information would know
324
00:11:58,873 --> 00:12:01,142
exactly who's out of town
and for exactly how long.
325
00:12:01,243 --> 00:12:04,545
Yes, I would like to verify
vacation hold information
326
00:12:04,646 --> 00:12:06,447
on two of your subscribers,
please.
327
00:12:07,648 --> 00:12:10,382
Who am I? I... I...
328
00:12:10,783 --> 00:12:13,083
I sometimes forget
I'm not actually a cop.
329
00:12:13,084 --> 00:12:14,084
I don't.
330
00:12:15,184 --> 00:12:17,617
Hi. This is Detective
Kate Beckett with the NYPD.
331
00:12:17,618 --> 00:12:19,151
I'd like to speak with
your supervisor, please.
332
00:12:19,752 --> 00:12:21,118
I can't really say
he looks familiar,
333
00:12:21,119 --> 00:12:23,853
but you gotta understand,
we have hundreds of employees.
334
00:12:24,354 --> 00:12:25,588
Well, how many of them
had access
335
00:12:25,589 --> 00:12:27,156
to vacation hold
information?
336
00:12:27,757 --> 00:12:29,791
Well, you got about a dozen
in subscriptions,
337
00:12:29,792 --> 00:12:31,292
another handful in billing,
338
00:12:31,293 --> 00:12:33,392
and, of course,
the newspaperboys themselves.
339
00:12:33,693 --> 00:12:36,392
I'm gonna need to see
a list of their names.
340
00:12:36,593 --> 00:12:38,159
Sure. Follow me.
341
00:12:45,097 --> 00:12:45,863
Donna.
342
00:12:46,864 --> 00:12:49,131
Richard.
What are you doing here?
343
00:12:49,232 --> 00:12:51,265
Uh, you're not mad about
number 9, are you?
344
00:12:51,266 --> 00:12:53,266
I told my editor
to keep you at 7.
345
00:12:53,267 --> 00:12:56,166
No, no, it's not that.
I don't care about that... much.
346
00:12:56,167 --> 00:12:59,168
It's--I just--why did you say
I was dating Detective Beckett?
347
00:12:59,169 --> 00:13:01,503
Oh. Well, I just assumed.
348
00:13:01,504 --> 00:13:03,605
You kept bringing her up
during the interview.
349
00:13:03,606 --> 00:13:04,475
No, I didn't.
350
00:13:04,476 --> 00:13:06,976
Sure you did.
You went on and on about her.
351
00:13:07,076 --> 00:13:09,643
"Beckett said the funniest this,
she's the best that."
352
00:13:09,644 --> 00:13:10,979
Really? I did that?
353
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,380
Last year all you did
was talk about yourself.
354
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,215
Well, Donna,
I am very, very single.
355
00:13:15,416 --> 00:13:17,883
Really?
Because if you aren't involved,
356
00:13:17,884 --> 00:13:20,219
bachelorette number 3
asked about you this morning.
357
00:13:20,420 --> 00:13:23,255
Did you see her? No?
358
00:13:23,256 --> 00:13:25,356
Or are you one of those people
who never goes below the fold?
359
00:13:25,357 --> 00:13:27,925
Oh, I go below the fold.
360
00:13:27,926 --> 00:13:28,827
It's just,
lately I've been very busy
361
00:13:28,828 --> 00:13:31,797
with my second Nikki Heat novel,
and I nev--oh, my God.
362
00:13:31,798 --> 00:13:32,798
Mm-hmm. Amanda Livingston.
363
00:13:35,198 --> 00:13:36,966
So do you want her number?
'cause she wants yours.
364
00:13:41,436 --> 00:13:42,904
Hey, we got a match.
365
00:13:43,205 --> 00:13:45,139
Mickey Carlson, delivery boy.
366
00:13:45,140 --> 00:13:45,741
Both the Dysons
367
00:13:45,742 --> 00:13:47,308
and Michele Langford
are on his route.
368
00:13:47,309 --> 00:13:48,709
Delivery boy. Knew it.
369
00:13:48,809 --> 00:13:50,476
Anyway,
he didn't show this morning.
370
00:13:50,477 --> 00:13:51,943
Another carrier had to cover.
371
00:13:51,944 --> 00:13:53,779
You know, there's no address
on this application.
372
00:13:53,780 --> 00:13:54,614
Do you have one on file?
373
00:13:54,615 --> 00:13:57,215
Nah. He never gave us one,
and now I know why.
374
00:13:57,415 --> 00:13:59,617
It says there that payday
is tomorrow.
375
00:13:59,918 --> 00:14:01,818
Does Mickey do direct deposit
or does--
376
00:14:01,819 --> 00:14:04,187
Pick up his own check?
Like clockwork.
377
00:14:04,188 --> 00:14:06,689
Payroll comes in at 10:00
in the morning,
378
00:14:06,690 --> 00:14:08,357
Mickey's here at 10:01.
379
00:14:08,358 --> 00:14:10,292
A delivery boy
380
00:14:10,293 --> 00:14:12,660
with a silencer
and syringes full of ketamine?
381
00:14:12,661 --> 00:14:13,694
His job's just a front
382
00:14:13,795 --> 00:14:15,363
for whatever business
he's really in.
383
00:14:15,764 --> 00:14:19,165
Here's a list of all of
the vacation holds on his route.
384
00:14:19,266 --> 00:14:20,766
He could be squatting
at any one of them.
385
00:14:20,867 --> 00:14:23,802
He's armed, so make sure
your teams use extreme caution.
386
00:14:23,803 --> 00:14:25,904
Castle and I will set up
at the paper in case he shows.
387
00:14:25,905 --> 00:14:27,105
If he's out there,
we'll find him.
388
00:14:27,505 --> 00:14:28,438
It's ironic, you know.
389
00:14:28,439 --> 00:14:30,440
People put in vacation holds
to avoid break-ins.
390
00:14:30,441 --> 00:14:31,641
Good use of irony.
391
00:14:34,876 --> 00:14:36,111
So who's your friend
at the paper?
392
00:14:36,112 --> 00:14:37,312
Oh, Donna Vincennes?
393
00:14:37,412 --> 00:14:39,280
Mm-hmm.
She's the one who wrote
the blurb about us.
394
00:14:40,181 --> 00:14:42,115
There is no "us."
395
00:14:42,116 --> 00:14:43,116
I know that.
396
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:44,150
Did you tell her that?
397
00:14:44,151 --> 00:14:45,451
Yes, I did,
398
00:14:45,551 --> 00:14:47,819
Which worked out, actually,
really well for me.
399
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:48,954
As it turns out,
400
00:14:49,055 --> 00:14:51,788
most eligible
bachelorette numero tres--
401
00:14:51,989 --> 00:14:53,823
very interested in meeting me.
402
00:14:53,924 --> 00:14:56,291
Once the info-tainers
get ahold of her with me,
403
00:14:56,292 --> 00:14:58,393
they're gonna forget all about
you and I.
404
00:14:58,794 --> 00:15:00,261
I can just see
the headlines now--
405
00:15:00,362 --> 00:15:03,129
"9 meets 3 at dinner for 2."
406
00:15:03,130 --> 00:15:04,597
Believe it or not,
407
00:15:04,598 --> 00:15:05,599
there's a lot of women
in this town
408
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,001
who like the idea of being
romantically linked to me.
409
00:15:21,010 --> 00:15:22,510
I have no life.
410
00:15:22,511 --> 00:15:25,979
No, Mr. Bishop has no life.
That's why he's on my table.
411
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:28,581
I need a date.
412
00:15:29,582 --> 00:15:30,249
What?
413
00:15:30,250 --> 00:15:33,451
A date. A... guy.
A... man.
414
00:15:33,452 --> 00:15:35,653
You're always trying
to set me up with people.
415
00:15:35,654 --> 00:15:38,021
So here I am. I'm game.
What do you got?
416
00:15:38,022 --> 00:15:39,523
Okay.
417
00:15:39,524 --> 00:15:41,258
What's gotten into you?
418
00:15:41,259 --> 00:15:43,893
I get so wrapped up in work,
all I want to do
419
00:15:43,894 --> 00:15:46,695
is go home where it's quiet,
and I'm so tired of quiet.
420
00:15:46,696 --> 00:15:49,296
I want... loud.
421
00:15:50,897 --> 00:15:51,665
Okay.
422
00:15:51,666 --> 00:15:55,001
I have the perfect prescription
for you.
423
00:15:59,004 --> 00:16:00,005
Bradekker?
424
00:16:00,006 --> 00:16:01,872
No, no, baby.
That's Brad Dekker.
425
00:16:02,173 --> 00:16:04,441
That firefighter I wanted
to set you up with.
426
00:16:04,642 --> 00:16:06,709
Is he cute?
He was Mr. July
427
00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:09,243
in last year's
New York firefighters calendar.
428
00:16:09,544 --> 00:16:11,580
July. Huh.
Mm-hmm.
429
00:16:11,581 --> 00:16:13,853
They always put the really hot
ones in the summer months.
430
00:16:14,454 --> 00:16:15,454
Exactly.
431
00:16:15,854 --> 00:16:17,789
Well, then should we say
around 8:00?
432
00:16:17,890 --> 00:16:20,292
All right. Me, too.
433
00:16:21,093 --> 00:16:22,228
Good night, Amanda.
434
00:16:22,229 --> 00:16:24,630
Ahh.
Sorry I missed dinner.
435
00:16:24,631 --> 00:16:26,498
There's quiche
if you're hungry.
436
00:16:26,499 --> 00:16:29,200
Sweet.
Or savory, actually.
437
00:16:29,701 --> 00:16:31,770
So... how was your day?
438
00:16:33,771 --> 00:16:36,713
I had a truly great day.
I got pulled out of class
439
00:16:36,714 --> 00:16:38,482
and called to
the vice principal's office.
440
00:16:38,483 --> 00:16:39,586
Why? What did she want?
441
00:16:40,287 --> 00:16:41,187
You.
442
00:16:41,387 --> 00:16:43,254
Here's her number.
Her number?
443
00:16:43,255 --> 00:16:45,656
Oh, and my german teacher,
fraulein Sonnenberg,
444
00:16:45,657 --> 00:16:47,358
Wanted me to tell you,
auf deutsch,
445
00:16:47,359 --> 00:16:49,361
"du hast sex-appeal."
446
00:16:49,362 --> 00:16:51,232
She's two years from ordering
off the senior menu,
447
00:16:51,233 --> 00:16:52,337
but here's her number, too.
448
00:16:53,238 --> 00:16:54,338
Fraulein Sonnenberg?
449
00:16:54,438 --> 00:16:55,906
Too old? That's okay
'cause my friend Sloan
450
00:16:55,907 --> 00:16:57,742
thinks you're "real choice."
451
00:16:58,243 --> 00:17:00,078
She's 17, but she'll be legal
in 3 months.
452
00:17:00,379 --> 00:17:02,181
Hey. Maybe we could double.
453
00:17:02,882 --> 00:17:06,182
Oh, you hate me a little bit
right now, don't you?
454
00:17:06,382 --> 00:17:07,951
Just a little.
455
00:17:08,152 --> 00:17:09,152
What did Beckett say?
456
00:17:09,452 --> 00:17:11,519
Oh, I'm sure
she'll be fine with it.
457
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,388
Maybe even
a little flattered.
458
00:17:15,023 --> 00:17:16,457
Flattered?
459
00:17:16,458 --> 00:17:19,127
I was gonna...
460
00:17:19,128 --> 00:17:21,529
Eat that.
461
00:17:23,265 --> 00:17:24,667
10:15.
Mickey's a no-show.
462
00:17:24,668 --> 00:17:25,868
Patience, Castle.
463
00:17:26,968 --> 00:17:29,034
Hey, have you
ever heard of Drago?
464
00:17:29,535 --> 00:17:30,235
Yeah.
465
00:17:30,277 --> 00:17:32,668
It's on the "Ledger's" top ten
most romantic restaurants.
466
00:17:32,669 --> 00:17:35,436
It's pricey and impossible
to get a table,
467
00:17:35,437 --> 00:17:37,070
unless you know someone.
468
00:17:37,071 --> 00:17:38,672
Why?
469
00:17:38,673 --> 00:17:40,673
Just looking
for a place to go.
470
00:17:40,674 --> 00:17:43,775
What, like on a date?
Yes, on a date.
471
00:17:43,776 --> 00:17:46,211
Why do you sound so surprised?
No, I--
472
00:17:46,212 --> 00:17:49,114
No, I just, uh, never figured
you for a Drago kind of girl.
473
00:17:49,115 --> 00:17:52,417
Really? And what kind of a girl
do you figure me for, Castle?
474
00:17:52,418 --> 00:17:54,052
I... It--
475
00:17:54,053 --> 00:17:55,786
Oh! There's your boy
476
00:17:57,355 --> 00:17:59,623
Mickey Carlson, I'm--hey!
477
00:17:59,624 --> 00:18:01,091
Hey!
478
00:18:04,762 --> 00:18:07,128
Mickey Carlson...
Oh!
479
00:18:07,529 --> 00:18:09,828
You're under arrest for
the murder of Douglass Bishop.
480
00:18:10,203 --> 00:18:12,103
This is the ketamine that you
used to kill Doug Bishop.
481
00:18:12,104 --> 00:18:13,638
Whoa. No, no,
that's not mine.
482
00:18:13,639 --> 00:18:15,939
Pretty smart not using the gun, Mickey.
483
00:18:16,039 --> 00:18:17,207
That would've been too messy.
484
00:18:17,208 --> 00:18:19,608
That's not my gun. Look, I
didn't kill anybody. I swear.
485
00:18:19,708 --> 00:18:21,576
I'm not a criminal, all right?
I was just squatting there.
486
00:18:21,577 --> 00:18:23,377
Well, technically,
squatting is a crime.
487
00:18:23,477 --> 00:18:25,512
Yeah, a victimless crime,
especially the way I do it.
488
00:18:25,513 --> 00:18:27,014
If you
didn't kill Doug Bishop,
489
00:18:27,015 --> 00:18:29,450
then how did he end up dead
in the Dysons' apartment?
490
00:18:29,451 --> 00:18:30,651
The guy from
the Maitlands' apartment
491
00:18:30,751 --> 00:18:31,553
must have killed him.
492
00:18:31,554 --> 00:18:32,554
And who are the Maitlands?
493
00:18:32,854 --> 00:18:34,558
The people whose apartment
I stayed in before the Dysons.
494
00:18:35,159 --> 00:18:36,659
Okay, why don't you
start from the beginning,
495
00:18:36,660 --> 00:18:38,360
and take us through it from there.
496
00:18:38,361 --> 00:18:39,361
Maitlands put a week hold
on their paper,
497
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,428
which I was psyched about,
'cause they live on East 27th,
498
00:18:42,429 --> 00:18:43,896
which has
amazing indian restaurants.
499
00:18:43,997 --> 00:18:46,065
So I pick the lock,
I start taking pictures
500
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:48,334
so I can return everything
to its original state.
501
00:18:48,535 --> 00:18:51,002
So, I'm taking pictures when I find
these syringes on the table.
502
00:18:51,103 --> 00:18:53,004
Kinda weird, but I'm thinking,
maybe one of the Maitlands
503
00:18:53,105 --> 00:18:54,740
must be diabetic
or something, right?
504
00:18:54,741 --> 00:18:57,375
So I keep going.
Then bam--it hits me.
505
00:18:57,376 --> 00:18:59,577
What's a gun with a silencer
doing out on the bed?
506
00:18:59,578 --> 00:19:01,945
And next to it,
I see all this gear.
507
00:19:03,746 --> 00:19:04,346
Gear?
508
00:19:04,546 --> 00:19:06,079
Mountain climbing equipment.
509
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,615
At this point, I seen enough.
I decide to get outta there.
510
00:19:08,616 --> 00:19:10,616
But just as I'm grabbing
my stuff,
511
00:19:10,617 --> 00:19:12,184
I hear the door unlock.
512
00:19:12,185 --> 00:19:13,819
And I barely reach the closet
in time.
513
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:16,087
I could see 'em through
the slats. It was three of 'em.
514
00:19:16,088 --> 00:19:18,690
It was, uh, this guy,
a plain-looking dude
515
00:19:18,691 --> 00:19:20,758
and tough-looking S.O.B.
516
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:23,627
Man, he had a scar on his face
looked like a crescent moon.
517
00:19:24,228 --> 00:19:25,728
A crescent moon?
518
00:19:25,729 --> 00:19:27,463
I know, right?
It's crazy.
519
00:19:27,464 --> 00:19:28,831
Anyway,
they head into the back.
520
00:19:28,832 --> 00:19:29,832
I take the opportunity
521
00:19:29,933 --> 00:19:31,768
to grab my stuff
and get the hell outta there.
522
00:19:31,769 --> 00:19:35,136
I end up at the Dysons'. Take
a load off, I get comfortable,
523
00:19:35,137 --> 00:19:36,638
when outta nowhere,
the front door opens,
524
00:19:36,639 --> 00:19:38,173
and him and his friend come in.
525
00:19:38,974 --> 00:19:40,274
Who,
crescent-moon scar face?
526
00:19:40,374 --> 00:19:41,975
No, the--the other guy.
The plain one.
527
00:19:41,976 --> 00:19:44,610
They grab me and demand that
I give them their phone back.
528
00:19:44,711 --> 00:19:45,681
Their phone?
529
00:19:45,682 --> 00:19:47,982
Are you making this up
as you go?
530
00:19:48,082 --> 00:19:50,449
No, no, no, see, in my race
to get out of the Maitlands',
531
00:19:50,450 --> 00:19:51,584
I must have grabbed
one of their jackets,
532
00:19:51,585 --> 00:19:54,286
which had their phone in it,
but I don't know how they knew.
533
00:19:55,087 --> 00:19:56,721
Newer phones have gps.
They could track it on the web.
534
00:19:57,122 --> 00:19:57,922
Huh?
535
00:19:58,022 --> 00:20:00,523
Well, I didn't want their phone
and I tried to give it back.
536
00:20:00,524 --> 00:20:03,224
The guy pulls out a syringe
and is ready to stab me with it.
537
00:20:03,225 --> 00:20:05,426
But thank God for Doug.
Oh, man.
538
00:20:05,627 --> 00:20:08,128
Doug says,
"I didn't sign up for murder."
539
00:20:08,129 --> 00:20:11,031
Then they start arguing,
and then the syringe guy says,
540
00:20:11,032 --> 00:20:13,966
"we've got 3 mil on the line.
He's seen too much."
541
00:20:14,367 --> 00:20:15,568
Next thing I know,
they're fighting.
542
00:20:16,569 --> 00:20:17,736
So I ran outta there.
543
00:20:17,737 --> 00:20:19,037
I'm just saying,
544
00:20:19,237 --> 00:20:21,172
It's a really good story.
Come on.
545
00:20:21,173 --> 00:20:23,673
Mysterious bad guys,
crescent-shaped scars,
546
00:20:23,674 --> 00:20:24,542
hiding in a closet?
547
00:20:24,543 --> 00:20:27,143
It sounds like fiction
because it probably is.
548
00:20:27,443 --> 00:20:29,344
Well, that's too bad.
He's a nice guy.
549
00:20:29,345 --> 00:20:30,245
So was Jeffrey Dahmer.
550
00:20:30,346 --> 00:20:31,880
Didn't stop him
from eating people.
551
00:20:33,281 --> 00:20:34,382
Where are we
on these Maitlands?
552
00:20:34,383 --> 00:20:35,683
They're on a cruise ship,
but we're getting
553
00:20:35,783 --> 00:20:37,018
the ship's security
to track 'em down right now.
554
00:20:37,019 --> 00:20:38,319
All right,
have 'em track faster.
555
00:20:38,419 --> 00:20:39,653
I need their permission
to get into the place.
556
00:20:39,654 --> 00:20:40,754
Can't we just get a warrant?
557
00:20:41,154 --> 00:20:42,922
On the word of
a possible murder suspect?
558
00:20:42,923 --> 00:20:45,257
Not exactly probable cause.
559
00:20:45,258 --> 00:20:47,258
But once we disprove
Mr. Carlson's story,
560
00:20:47,259 --> 00:20:50,494
we'll be able
to press charges for murder.
561
00:20:51,329 --> 00:20:53,563
Beckett.
562
00:20:53,564 --> 00:20:56,298
Oh, hi, Brad.
563
00:20:56,299 --> 00:20:59,267
Uh, uh, no. No, no, no,
it's not too last-minute.
564
00:20:59,268 --> 00:21:01,703
Actually, my plans for tonight
just fell through.
565
00:21:01,704 --> 00:21:03,638
Who's Brad?
566
00:21:03,639 --> 00:21:05,573
Mm.
Must be Lanie's friend.
567
00:21:05,574 --> 00:21:07,040
You know him?
568
00:21:07,041 --> 00:21:09,076
Yeah, met him once.
Good guy.
569
00:21:09,077 --> 00:21:11,778
Fireman.
I could be there
in a couple of hours.
570
00:21:11,779 --> 00:21:14,581
He was in the F.D.N.Y. calendar.
Chiseled good looks.
571
00:21:14,582 --> 00:21:16,349
Rock-hard abs.
572
00:21:16,350 --> 00:21:19,118
Oh, and get this--
once during a fire,
573
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,353
after saving the parents
and the kids,
574
00:21:21,354 --> 00:21:24,223
he went back in
for the puppies.
575
00:21:24,224 --> 00:21:26,458
See you then.
Did she just flip her hair?
576
00:21:26,459 --> 00:21:28,360
I'm telling you, bro,
puppies...
577
00:21:28,361 --> 00:21:30,763
Gets 'em every time.
Puppies.
578
00:21:35,334 --> 00:21:37,002
Yes, Mr. Maitland?
What?
579
00:21:37,003 --> 00:21:39,840
You're smiling.
So?
580
00:21:39,841 --> 00:21:42,576
Good-bye. Hey.
We got the Maitlands.
581
00:21:42,577 --> 00:21:44,543
We're good to enter. They're
calling the super right now.
582
00:21:44,544 --> 00:21:45,544
Okay, let's go.
583
00:21:51,013 --> 00:21:52,881
Stay out here, please sir.
584
00:21:56,352 --> 00:21:58,420
We'll check the back.
Okay.
585
00:22:03,691 --> 00:22:05,224
Well, surprise, surprise.
586
00:22:05,225 --> 00:22:08,193
Nothing here to verify
Mickey's version.
587
00:22:08,194 --> 00:22:10,761
Oh, wow. Look at this.
588
00:22:10,762 --> 00:22:12,431
Did you find something?
589
00:22:12,432 --> 00:22:14,700
Yeah, it's
an old-fashioned dumbwaiter.
590
00:22:14,701 --> 00:22:16,268
You don't see these
around anymore.
591
00:22:16,269 --> 00:22:17,570
Genius, too.
The Maitlands have converted it
592
00:22:17,571 --> 00:22:19,505
into a hidden
stereo component cupboard.
593
00:22:19,606 --> 00:22:20,942
I bet they have
an R.F. Remote somewhere.
594
00:22:21,543 --> 00:22:23,143
We're not here to admire
the place, Castle.
595
00:22:23,743 --> 00:22:26,411
How can you not?
I mean, look at this place.
596
00:22:26,412 --> 00:22:29,413
This apartment is prewar,
late 1800s.
597
00:22:29,914 --> 00:22:31,448
Oh, you see this molding?
598
00:22:31,449 --> 00:22:33,983
That is the original wood.
Gorgeous.
599
00:22:33,984 --> 00:22:35,752
I bet the bathrooms
have marble wainscoting.
600
00:22:35,753 --> 00:22:37,520
You're such a metrosexual.
601
00:22:37,621 --> 00:22:39,756
Yes. Well, better than being
a pinup boy.
602
00:22:40,757 --> 00:22:43,457
So you heard?
And it's pinup man, Castle.
603
00:22:43,858 --> 00:22:45,159
Pinup... Man.
604
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,160
Yes. Well, have fun
with your hose jockey
605
00:22:47,161 --> 00:22:49,162
whilst I go out
with nuevo york's
606
00:22:49,163 --> 00:22:50,863
most eligible bachelorette
number 3.
607
00:22:50,864 --> 00:22:53,665
Oh, I guess that means
she must be slumming it,
608
00:22:53,666 --> 00:22:56,635
her being number 3
and you being a lowly number 9.
609
00:22:56,636 --> 00:22:58,703
What number were you again?
Oh.
610
00:22:58,704 --> 00:23:00,238
Place is clear.
611
00:23:00,239 --> 00:23:03,473
No gun, no ketamine,
no mountain climbing equipment.
612
00:23:03,474 --> 00:23:05,274
There is nothing here.
613
00:23:05,275 --> 00:23:06,708
Yes, there is.
614
00:23:06,709 --> 00:23:08,610
An icebox,
circa late 1800s.
615
00:23:08,611 --> 00:23:11,180
You see, before the invention
616
00:23:11,181 --> 00:23:12,781
of modern
household refrigeration,
617
00:23:12,782 --> 00:23:15,250
People used to keep
their perishable items in a box
618
00:23:15,251 --> 00:23:17,085
that held ice.
619
00:23:17,086 --> 00:23:18,321
Hence--an icebox.
620
00:23:18,522 --> 00:23:20,222
It's not an open house,
Castle.
621
00:23:20,622 --> 00:23:22,221
Oh, the Maitlands
were very clever.
622
00:23:22,222 --> 00:23:23,956
They converted this
into a cupboard.
623
00:23:23,957 --> 00:23:26,858
Meanwhile, it's right next
to their fridge--aah!
624
00:23:27,859 --> 00:23:32,295
Ooh!
625
00:23:32,296 --> 00:23:36,065
I did not expect that.
Crescent-shaped scar.
626
00:23:36,066 --> 00:23:39,468
Looks like there was some truth
to Mickey's tale after all.
627
00:23:43,381 --> 00:23:46,048
His name is
Anton Francis. Mr. Francis here,
628
00:23:46,049 --> 00:23:48,450
not wanting to waste
such a sinister looking scar
629
00:23:48,451 --> 00:23:50,352
decide to round out
the stereotype
630
00:23:50,353 --> 00:23:52,354
with a laundry list
of criminal activity,
631
00:23:52,355 --> 00:23:53,755
including
fencing stolen property,
632
00:23:53,756 --> 00:23:55,757
stickups
and a smash and grab.
633
00:23:55,758 --> 00:23:56,592
Do we have time of death?
634
00:23:56,593 --> 00:23:58,793
Yes, between 1:00
and 4:00 am this morning,
635
00:23:58,993 --> 00:24:00,061
Which rules out
Mickey Carlson.
636
00:24:00,162 --> 00:24:02,130
We verified that he stayed in
a homeless shelter last night.
637
00:24:02,131 --> 00:24:03,631
So if Mickey
was telling us the truth,
638
00:24:03,731 --> 00:24:05,000
then Doug and Mr. Francis
639
00:24:05,001 --> 00:24:07,069
clearly got more
than they bargained for.
640
00:24:07,070 --> 00:24:09,104
All by the murderous hand
of their partner--
641
00:24:09,505 --> 00:24:11,506
The guy who killed Doug
with the syringe--
642
00:24:11,507 --> 00:24:14,108
Our mysterious 3rd man.
643
00:24:14,509 --> 00:24:17,677
Let's get photos of all of Anton's
known associates and former cell mates.
644
00:24:17,778 --> 00:24:20,746
If Mickey saw his face, he should be able
to I.D. him for us.
645
00:24:20,947 --> 00:24:22,816
So how does a man
like Douglass Bishop--
646
00:24:22,817 --> 00:24:24,051
with no criminal record--
647
00:24:24,052 --> 00:24:25,720
get involved
with hardened criminals?
648
00:24:25,821 --> 00:24:27,922
Simple.
They needed him.
649
00:24:28,523 --> 00:24:30,858
It seemed convenient to me that
the Maitlands were out of town
650
00:24:30,859 --> 00:24:32,627
when all this went down,
so I did some digging.
651
00:24:33,128 --> 00:24:34,662
Turns out
that cruise they're on,
652
00:24:34,663 --> 00:24:36,130
they won it in a contest.
653
00:24:36,231 --> 00:24:38,699
Only there is no contest.
654
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,000
A phony award letter?
655
00:24:40,101 --> 00:24:41,934
Yeah, when they got that
and the tickets,
656
00:24:41,935 --> 00:24:43,937
they figured, why look
a gift horse in the mouth.
657
00:24:43,938 --> 00:24:45,641
So guess where the tickets
came from.
658
00:24:46,542 --> 00:24:47,942
Doug Bishop's travel agency.
659
00:24:48,042 --> 00:24:49,312
So the cruise
was just a scam
660
00:24:49,313 --> 00:24:50,914
to get the Maitlands
out of town.
661
00:24:51,215 --> 00:24:53,382
The letter says that
the cruise had to be this week.
662
00:24:53,383 --> 00:24:55,417
Why this week?
And why the Maitlands?
663
00:24:55,418 --> 00:24:57,887
Well, unless our bad guys
are into prewar architecture,
664
00:24:57,888 --> 00:24:59,855
there's really nothing in that
apartment that's worth anything
665
00:24:59,856 --> 00:25:01,423
except for
the audio/visual equipment,
666
00:25:01,424 --> 00:25:03,458
which was still there.
Why go through so much trouble
667
00:25:03,459 --> 00:25:05,194
to get
in the Maitlands' apartment?
668
00:25:05,195 --> 00:25:08,196
Maybe what they wanted wasn't
in the Maitlands' apartment.
669
00:25:08,197 --> 00:25:10,365
Maybe they were gonna rob
someone else,
670
00:25:10,366 --> 00:25:12,333
but just needed access.
671
00:25:12,334 --> 00:25:15,103
The audio/visual equipment.
672
00:25:15,104 --> 00:25:16,738
Access.
673
00:25:16,739 --> 00:25:20,140
The Maitlands live
on the second floor.
674
00:25:20,341 --> 00:25:20,875
Running perpendicular to them
and whatever's below
675
00:25:22,876 --> 00:25:24,908
is the old dumbwaiter shaft.
676
00:25:25,109 --> 00:25:27,209
In "Gathering Storm,"
I had Derrick Storm
677
00:25:27,210 --> 00:25:29,941
climb up the dumbwaiter shaft
to bypass the Czech assassin
678
00:25:29,942 --> 00:25:31,375
in order to save
the Swiss ambassador's daughter.
679
00:25:32,476 --> 00:25:34,077
Maybe our bad guys
are using the dumbwaiter
680
00:25:34,178 --> 00:25:36,180
to bypass the security
of whatever's below them.
681
00:25:36,681 --> 00:25:39,048
Which would explain the ropes
and the climbing gear.
682
00:25:39,649 --> 00:25:42,815
So what's below
the Maitlands' apartment?
683
00:25:43,816 --> 00:25:44,615
A pet shop.
684
00:25:45,316 --> 00:25:47,516
Why don't you come down
and have a look at them?
685
00:25:47,517 --> 00:25:50,485
I have the largest selection
of reptiles in the city.
686
00:25:50,486 --> 00:25:52,152
They're my specialty.
687
00:25:52,153 --> 00:25:53,787
My pleasure.
688
00:25:53,788 --> 00:25:56,623
Okay. Thank you. Bye-bye.
689
00:25:56,624 --> 00:26:00,226
Ah, how is it?
Can I, uh, can I help you?
690
00:26:00,227 --> 00:26:02,227
And you're sure
nothing was stolen?
691
00:26:02,228 --> 00:26:05,396
Ya. I mean,
what is there to steal?
692
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:09,266
This dumbwaiter has been
opened recently.
693
00:26:09,267 --> 00:26:11,234
It was open?
694
00:26:11,235 --> 00:26:14,203
Mickey told us his attacker said
there was millions at stake.
695
00:26:14,204 --> 00:26:15,240
Mr. Du Preez, what's on
the other side of that wall?
696
00:26:15,241 --> 00:26:17,541
28th street.
Eastside Bank and Trust.
697
00:26:17,941 --> 00:26:19,474
A bank heist.
698
00:26:19,475 --> 00:26:21,976
It looks like the plan was to
cut into the back wall
699
00:26:21,977 --> 00:26:23,574
to get into the bank vault
on the other side.
700
00:26:23,575 --> 00:26:25,108
We called the bank manager,
the FBI,
701
00:26:25,109 --> 00:26:27,012
but our guys never made it
that far.
702
00:26:27,113 --> 00:26:28,013
What went wrong?
703
00:26:28,713 --> 00:26:31,547
We don't know.
It could've been greed, panic.
704
00:26:31,548 --> 00:26:35,183
It looks like our victims might
have been betrayed by their partner.
705
00:26:35,285 --> 00:26:37,320
In the old days, you killed your partners
after you got the money.
706
00:26:37,921 --> 00:26:39,289
Any leads on this,
uh, third man?
707
00:26:39,290 --> 00:26:41,590
No. We had our squatter
take a look at mug shots
708
00:26:41,690 --> 00:26:44,457
of Anton Francis' associates,
and we didn't find him.
709
00:26:44,458 --> 00:26:46,459
What if the connection
to the third man
710
00:26:46,460 --> 00:26:48,227
isn't through scar face?
What if it's through Doug?
711
00:26:48,228 --> 00:26:49,896
The travel agent? I thought
we went through him.
712
00:26:49,897 --> 00:26:53,165
We did. We checked his family,
his friends, his coworkers.
713
00:26:53,166 --> 00:26:54,199
But not his clients.
714
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,401
Think about it.
Maybe that's it.
715
00:26:56,202 --> 00:26:58,503
The third man books a trip
through Doug.
716
00:26:58,804 --> 00:27:01,605
Doug starts talking,
tells him about his dream
717
00:27:01,606 --> 00:27:03,407
of owning a scuba shop
in the islands.
718
00:27:03,508 --> 00:27:05,843
The third man senses
his frustration. That's his in.
719
00:27:06,244 --> 00:27:08,479
He tells Doug it'll be easy.
720
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,215
It's a victimless crime,
nobody will get hurt,
721
00:27:10,216 --> 00:27:11,649
Insurance will pay,
722
00:27:12,350 --> 00:27:14,684
knowing the whole time,
if the police investigate,
723
00:27:14,685 --> 00:27:17,254
they'll track the tickets back
through to Doug, not to him.
724
00:27:17,755 --> 00:27:19,789
The third man remains invisible
so long as Doug is dead.
725
00:27:19,890 --> 00:27:21,290
That almost makes sense.
726
00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:24,391
Let's run Doug's client list
for the past six months.
727
00:27:24,392 --> 00:27:26,026
If anything pops,
we'll show it to Mickey.
728
00:27:26,027 --> 00:27:27,027
Okay.
729
00:27:27,227 --> 00:27:28,795
You know,
maybe I should cancel tonight.
730
00:27:28,996 --> 00:27:30,296
You're gonna cancel
on the guy
731
00:27:30,396 --> 00:27:32,197
that risked his life
for a bunch of puppies?
732
00:27:32,198 --> 00:27:33,798
Sir, you know about my date?
733
00:27:33,998 --> 00:27:36,066
Yes, and--and despite
what you might think,
734
00:27:36,067 --> 00:27:37,668
the world's not gonna end
735
00:27:37,669 --> 00:27:38,738
just because you disappear
for a night.
736
00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:41,807
And if it does, I'm sure
that those two can handle it.
737
00:27:43,008 --> 00:27:45,076
Yeah. Go ahead.
Yeah, I need the overtime.
738
00:27:46,177 --> 00:27:47,879
Okay, but call me
if anything turns up.
739
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,380
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have fun.
740
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,948
You see how ready she was
to cancel on that date?
741
00:27:53,749 --> 00:27:54,617
What's it to you,
Castle?
742
00:27:54,818 --> 00:27:56,118
Yeah, why do you care?
743
00:27:56,418 --> 00:27:58,351
I'm just sayin'.
Look out 'cause, uh...
744
00:28:04,655 --> 00:28:06,622
Neither of those.
745
00:28:06,623 --> 00:28:07,889
Hmm?
746
00:28:07,890 --> 00:28:11,092
Mm. Look.
747
00:28:11,093 --> 00:28:13,093
Oh, you're good.
748
00:28:13,194 --> 00:28:14,161
Hey...
749
00:28:14,162 --> 00:28:17,063
I know that this can be
weird for you,
750
00:28:17,164 --> 00:28:19,598
How parents
aren't supposed to date.
751
00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:20,699
I know you date, dad.
752
00:28:21,099 --> 00:28:21,899
I know you probably
do other things
753
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:23,500
that I am not
going to think about,
754
00:28:23,501 --> 00:28:25,668
and that we'll never,
ever mention.
755
00:28:26,169 --> 00:28:28,403
Fair enough.
So... what's wrong?
756
00:28:29,804 --> 00:28:30,870
I don't know.
757
00:28:30,871 --> 00:28:32,306
I mean, I'm not gonna
be here forever.
758
00:28:32,407 --> 00:28:34,041
and then who's gonna
look after you then,
759
00:28:34,642 --> 00:28:35,842
Bachelorette number 3?
760
00:28:35,843 --> 00:28:38,044
Slow down there.
761
00:28:38,445 --> 00:28:40,379
Let's not go buying rings
anytime soon.
762
00:28:40,380 --> 00:28:41,847
It's just a date.
I know.
763
00:28:41,848 --> 00:28:44,848
And she seems nice and all,
but... if that's who you date,
764
00:28:44,849 --> 00:28:46,250
I mean, are you really
gonna find happiness
765
00:28:46,251 --> 00:28:48,252
with the kind of person
who's a number on a list?
766
00:28:48,953 --> 00:28:49,853
Well, I already have.
767
00:28:50,953 --> 00:28:52,288
You're number one on mine.
768
00:28:53,789 --> 00:28:55,356
Look, it's my job
to worry about you,
769
00:28:55,357 --> 00:28:56,690
not the other way around.
770
00:28:57,091 --> 00:28:58,892
I'll be fine.
Yeah.
771
00:28:58,993 --> 00:29:01,494
That's what you said when you
tried to deep-fry a turkey.
772
00:29:01,895 --> 00:29:03,463
And we all know
how that turned out.
773
00:29:04,064 --> 00:29:06,031
I just don't want you
to get hurt...
774
00:29:06,532 --> 00:29:10,067
or burn your eyebrows off...
Again.
775
00:29:10,068 --> 00:29:13,836
♪
776
00:29:13,837 --> 00:29:15,471
I'm glad they grew back.
777
00:29:16,372 --> 00:29:17,773
They're finally matching.
778
00:29:26,347 --> 00:29:28,984
I've heard this place
is impossible to get into.
779
00:29:28,985 --> 00:29:29,689
Excuse me.
780
00:29:29,690 --> 00:29:32,191
Ricky.
Frankie! Come here.
781
00:29:32,192 --> 00:29:33,994
It's nice to see you again.
And you.
782
00:29:34,595 --> 00:29:36,162
Um, your table
will be ready momentarily.
783
00:29:36,163 --> 00:29:37,364
Castle?
784
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,169
Beckett?
785
00:29:44,373 --> 00:29:47,041
I take it you two know each other?
Uh, yeah.
786
00:29:47,042 --> 00:29:49,411
Brad, this is Richard Castle.
We work together.
787
00:29:49,412 --> 00:29:51,712
Uh, Amanda, this is
Kate Beckett. We work together.
788
00:29:51,812 --> 00:29:53,913
Hi.
Nice to meet you.
789
00:29:53,914 --> 00:29:55,648
Ah.
What are you doing here?
790
00:29:55,649 --> 00:29:56,751
You knew
that I was coming here.
791
00:29:56,752 --> 00:29:58,152
I knew you wanted
to come here.
792
00:29:58,252 --> 00:29:59,853
I didn't think you could get
a table last-minute.
793
00:29:59,854 --> 00:30:01,154
You got a table last-minute.
794
00:30:01,354 --> 00:30:02,423
Yeah. I've got connections.
795
00:30:02,424 --> 00:30:04,824
So do I.
City Health Inspector.
796
00:30:04,924 --> 00:30:07,358
Wow.
Nice abuse of power.
797
00:30:07,659 --> 00:30:09,593
So, Richard,
you a cop, too?
798
00:30:09,594 --> 00:30:11,562
No. He's a novelist
who's been shadowing me
799
00:30:11,563 --> 00:30:12,632
on my murder cases.
800
00:30:12,633 --> 00:30:14,333
Oh, I do a little more
than shadowing.
801
00:30:15,033 --> 00:30:16,767
Your table is ready.
802
00:30:21,203 --> 00:30:22,770
So you two working
a homicide?
803
00:30:22,771 --> 00:30:24,138
Um, a double homicide.
804
00:30:24,139 --> 00:30:27,208
It's actually a rather tricky
case because the killer is...
805
00:30:27,209 --> 00:30:29,410
I like to call him
the third man.
806
00:30:29,411 --> 00:30:31,745
Very mysterious. It sounds
like one of your books.
807
00:30:31,746 --> 00:30:33,346
Yeah, it kinda does.
808
00:30:33,347 --> 00:30:35,415
Anyway,
he and his two partners...
809
00:30:35,416 --> 00:30:37,316
Were gonna rob a bank,
810
00:30:37,516 --> 00:30:39,251
only he turned on the other two
and killed them
811
00:30:39,252 --> 00:30:41,185
before they even finished
the job.
812
00:30:41,186 --> 00:30:42,754
I mean, it doesn't
even make any sense.
813
00:30:42,755 --> 00:30:44,622
Usually you'd wait
until you got the money
814
00:30:44,623 --> 00:30:46,024
before you double-crossed
your partners.
815
00:30:46,025 --> 00:30:47,725
I mean, they didn't even
have the right equipment
816
00:30:47,725 --> 00:30:48,826
to rob a bank.
817
00:30:48,827 --> 00:30:50,627
Well, I'm sure you'll
figure it out eventually.
818
00:30:50,927 --> 00:30:52,294
You know, speaking of
great mysteries,
819
00:30:52,295 --> 00:30:54,396
I saw an incredible play
off broadway the other night.
820
00:30:54,497 --> 00:30:55,497
I just wish I could figure out
821
00:30:55,597 --> 00:30:56,930
what they were doing
with the ketamine.
822
00:30:57,631 --> 00:30:59,166
Maybe it had something to do
with the pet store.
823
00:31:01,167 --> 00:31:02,734
You gonna eat that?
824
00:31:02,735 --> 00:31:05,136
It's not like there was really
anything to steal there.
825
00:31:05,137 --> 00:31:08,272
Unless the pet store was just
a front for something else.
826
00:31:10,607 --> 00:31:12,777
Waiter. Could I have
another glass of wine, please?
827
00:31:12,778 --> 00:31:14,781
In which case, the owner
might have been lying
828
00:31:14,782 --> 00:31:16,083
when he said that nothing
was stolen.
829
00:31:17,984 --> 00:31:19,284
You want to have sex
with me later?
830
00:31:19,384 --> 00:31:20,987
I'm sorry. Would you mind
if I made a telephone call?
831
00:31:21,788 --> 00:31:22,788
Nah.
832
00:31:22,588 --> 00:31:23,688
Thanks.
833
00:31:26,358 --> 00:31:30,059
Um... the bathrooms are up
by the front, right?
834
00:31:30,060 --> 00:31:32,661
Pardon me.
835
00:31:35,230 --> 00:31:36,065
Have you got something?
836
00:31:36,466 --> 00:31:37,966
I was just having
Ryan and Esposito
837
00:31:38,066 --> 00:31:38,833
run something down for me.
838
00:31:38,834 --> 00:31:39,934
The pet shop.
839
00:31:40,034 --> 00:31:41,303
Yes! How did you know?
840
00:31:41,304 --> 00:31:42,904
I was thinking
the exact same thing
841
00:31:43,004 --> 00:31:44,338
It's probably
a front for something.
842
00:31:44,339 --> 00:31:45,239
Okay, so they're gonna dig up
843
00:31:45,339 --> 00:31:46,273
everything they can
on the owner.
844
00:31:46,274 --> 00:31:47,508
It could be
that he's hiding something.
845
00:31:47,509 --> 00:31:48,509
Right.
846
00:31:49,609 --> 00:31:51,344
Well, I should get back
to this date.
847
00:31:51,345 --> 00:31:52,345
How's yours going?
848
00:31:52,445 --> 00:31:54,145
Great. Yours?
Fantastic.
849
00:31:54,146 --> 00:31:56,614
Well, I'll, uh, see you.
850
00:31:56,615 --> 00:31:58,882
The pheasant is amazing.
851
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,954
I'm sorry.
That's the station.
852
00:32:06,955 --> 00:32:08,623
Yeah. Go ahead.
853
00:32:09,892 --> 00:32:11,627
Would you pardon me?
854
00:32:11,628 --> 00:32:14,529
Bathroom again?
855
00:32:22,768 --> 00:32:23,769
So what'd they find out?
856
00:32:23,770 --> 00:32:24,704
Yo.
857
00:32:24,705 --> 00:32:26,639
We ran the pet shop owner--
Noel du Preez.
858
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,507
He came up clean.
Really?
859
00:32:28,508 --> 00:32:30,642
What about in the past
couple of days?
860
00:32:30,743 --> 00:32:32,677
Anything unusual?
The day before yesterday,
861
00:32:32,778 --> 00:32:34,512
customs has him
taking possession
862
00:32:34,613 --> 00:32:37,280
of a half a dozen
African gray parrots,
863
00:32:37,281 --> 00:32:39,015
four baboon spiders
864
00:32:39,216 --> 00:32:41,316
and two black-tailed pythons,
865
00:32:41,317 --> 00:32:42,418
all from South Africa.
866
00:32:42,419 --> 00:32:43,519
Wait a minute. Did you--
867
00:32:44,219 --> 00:32:46,753
Did you say black-tailed pythons
from South Africa?
868
00:32:47,154 --> 00:32:49,221
Yeah. Why?
Because black-tailed pythons,
869
00:32:49,322 --> 00:32:50,856
also know as Indian Rock pythons,
870
00:32:50,857 --> 00:32:52,193
are not indigenous
to that area.
871
00:32:52,194 --> 00:32:53,496
Why would they be coming
from Africa?
872
00:32:53,897 --> 00:32:55,597
Why do you care about
some motherfreaking snakes
873
00:32:55,697 --> 00:32:56,531
on a motherfreaking plane?
874
00:32:56,932 --> 00:32:58,532
Because as a murder mystery
novelist,
875
00:32:58,632 --> 00:33:00,500
I am highly paid
to think like a bad guy.
876
00:33:00,501 --> 00:33:03,070
Here are a few fun facts
about snakes.
877
00:33:03,271 --> 00:33:05,473
They are cold-blooded,
they swallow huge amounts,
878
00:33:05,474 --> 00:33:08,175
and they digest their food
very slowly.
879
00:33:08,276 --> 00:33:09,278
Perfect for smuggling.
880
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:10,479
And it wouldn't be
the first time.
881
00:33:10,579 --> 00:33:11,947
If these snakes are coming in
from South Africa...
882
00:33:12,848 --> 00:33:15,182
there are two things in
abundance in South Africa--
883
00:33:15,683 --> 00:33:17,919
Racial hatred and diamonds.
884
00:33:18,020 --> 00:33:20,556
Smuggling diamonds
in live snakes.
885
00:33:20,557 --> 00:33:22,757
Mickey's attacker said that
there were millions at stake.
886
00:33:22,857 --> 00:33:24,659
And the dumbwaiter goes
right down into the pet store.
887
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,661
That's why the Maitlands' trip
had to be this week.
888
00:33:26,762 --> 00:33:29,296
They knew the shipment was
coming in. And the ketamine--
889
00:33:29,297 --> 00:33:30,097
was to dope the snakes
890
00:33:30,097 --> 00:33:31,898
so they could take 'em
up the shaft without a fight,
891
00:33:31,899 --> 00:33:32,700
and then when we came
to the store--
892
00:33:32,701 --> 00:33:33,801
the owner couldn't say a word,
893
00:33:33,701 --> 00:33:35,536
otherwise he'd implicate himself
in smuggling.
894
00:33:35,537 --> 00:33:36,637
So we find out
who robbed him--
895
00:33:36,737 --> 00:33:37,738
We find the third man.
896
00:33:37,739 --> 00:33:39,939
Do they know they're finishing
each other's sentences?
897
00:33:40,639 --> 00:33:43,006
Have uniforms pick up the owner.
We'll meet you at the store.
898
00:33:45,307 --> 00:33:47,241
Hey, is this seat taken?
899
00:33:47,442 --> 00:33:48,642
What should we tell them?
900
00:33:48,643 --> 00:33:49,811
This is gonna be awkward.
901
00:33:52,912 --> 00:33:54,179
They'll be okay.
902
00:34:04,956 --> 00:34:06,123
Is the owner in custody?
903
00:34:06,124 --> 00:34:07,391
Wife said he was here
working late.
904
00:34:07,492 --> 00:34:08,393
Place looks closed.
905
00:34:08,394 --> 00:34:10,394
Okay, Castle,
hold my purse.
906
00:34:11,194 --> 00:34:12,527
Follow me.
907
00:34:22,436 --> 00:34:24,005
Ready? Let's go.
908
00:34:30,642 --> 00:34:32,243
Room all clear.
909
00:34:32,344 --> 00:34:33,645
Here too.
910
00:34:34,047 --> 00:34:35,647
Whoa!
911
00:34:35,848 --> 00:34:38,182
NYPD!
drop your weapon!
Drop your weapon!
912
00:34:38,283 --> 00:34:40,551
drop the gun!
Drop your weapon!
Drop the gun!
913
00:34:40,552 --> 00:34:42,787
Drop the gun!
Get down! Down!
914
00:34:45,256 --> 00:34:46,957
Hey. You okay?
915
00:34:47,058 --> 00:34:47,959
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
916
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,326
It takes a lot more
than that to scare me.
917
00:34:50,127 --> 00:34:51,729
What about a big,
hairy spider on your shoulder?
918
00:34:51,730 --> 00:34:53,530
Yeah, that would do it.
919
00:35:00,975 --> 00:35:02,475
I didn't know
you were the police.
920
00:35:03,376 --> 00:35:04,877
I have a right
to defend my store.
921
00:35:04,878 --> 00:35:07,313
Defend from who,
Mr. du Preez?
922
00:35:07,314 --> 00:35:08,782
According to customs,
923
00:35:08,783 --> 00:35:12,184
you took possession
of two black-tailed pythons.
924
00:35:13,185 --> 00:35:14,287
Which is not a crime.
925
00:35:14,288 --> 00:35:17,055
No, but black-tailed pythons
are indigenous to India.
926
00:35:17,056 --> 00:35:19,424
So why ship them in
from South Africa?
927
00:35:19,525 --> 00:35:20,658
My suppliers are there.
928
00:35:21,459 --> 00:35:23,061
There's nothing illegal
about my business.
929
00:35:23,362 --> 00:35:24,497
Then where are the snakes?
930
00:35:24,898 --> 00:35:25,931
They weren't in the store,
931
00:35:26,032 --> 00:35:28,534
And we didn't find any invoices
indicating that they were sold.
932
00:35:28,835 --> 00:35:29,636
You know what we did find?
933
00:35:30,037 --> 00:35:33,273
A color grader, a UV lamp
and a carat weight scale.
934
00:35:33,274 --> 00:35:34,374
All tools
of the diamond trade.
935
00:35:34,474 --> 00:35:36,308
So what happened,
Mr. du Preez?
936
00:35:36,709 --> 00:35:39,143
Because we think
someone broke into your store,
937
00:35:39,244 --> 00:35:40,844
came down the dumbwaiter shaft
938
00:35:40,845 --> 00:35:42,612
and stole your shipment
of diamonds.
939
00:35:43,813 --> 00:35:44,714
Now that's your problem.
940
00:35:44,715 --> 00:35:47,550
My problem is that they left
two bodies behind.
941
00:35:51,686 --> 00:35:53,688
Okay, fine. You don't want
to implicate yourself.
942
00:35:53,689 --> 00:35:54,256
I get it.
943
00:35:54,457 --> 00:35:57,459
I'm simply gonna ask,
who knew about the shipment?
944
00:36:00,460 --> 00:36:02,628
Come on, Mr. du Preez.
Don't you want us to find them?
945
00:36:02,629 --> 00:36:04,564
Who knew?
Who did you tell?
946
00:36:04,565 --> 00:36:05,565
I told no one.
947
00:36:05,665 --> 00:36:06,300
Mr. du Preez--
948
00:36:06,301 --> 00:36:08,301
I picked up my cargo
at the airport personally,
949
00:36:09,201 --> 00:36:10,569
And I locked 'em
in my office.
950
00:36:13,570 --> 00:36:14,504
The next day,
they were gone.
951
00:36:18,809 --> 00:36:20,310
Do you recognize
either of these men?
952
00:36:21,511 --> 00:36:24,513
No. I've never seen
any of them in my life.
953
00:36:25,114 --> 00:36:26,481
It's the truth.
954
00:36:26,582 --> 00:36:29,484
Robbing a smuggler.
It's almost a perfect crime.
955
00:36:29,685 --> 00:36:31,386
The victim
can't go to the police
956
00:36:31,387 --> 00:36:33,122
without admitting
his own crime.
957
00:36:33,223 --> 00:36:35,357
Someone knew that shipment
was coming in.
958
00:36:35,458 --> 00:36:36,826
Someone had it planned.
959
00:36:38,127 --> 00:36:39,628
Where are we
on Doug's client list?
960
00:36:39,629 --> 00:36:42,263
We ran every client
Doug ever had, and we got nada.
961
00:36:42,264 --> 00:36:44,530
Just to be thorough, we showed
their D.M.V. photos to Mickey.
962
00:36:45,031 --> 00:36:46,797
None of them were
our mysterious third man.
963
00:36:46,898 --> 00:36:49,265
Well, it had to be someone
du Preez would never expect.
964
00:36:49,266 --> 00:36:51,567
Someone connected to
his pet store in some capacity,
965
00:36:51,868 --> 00:36:53,068
an old employee perhaps?
966
00:36:53,069 --> 00:36:54,872
He would have to know when
the shipment was coming in.
967
00:36:54,873 --> 00:36:57,373
Yeah, someone who knew
his timetable.
968
00:36:58,374 --> 00:37:01,109
Maybe someone du Preez had sent
to the airport previously
969
00:37:01,110 --> 00:37:03,344
to pick up a shipment.
Out to the airport.
970
00:37:03,445 --> 00:37:04,113
What was that?
971
00:37:04,214 --> 00:37:06,314
Run all of the paperwork
from du Preez's last shipment--
972
00:37:06,414 --> 00:37:09,583
Customs, fish and wildlife,
shipping company, everything.
973
00:37:09,684 --> 00:37:11,153
I want to know
who knew what and when.
974
00:37:11,154 --> 00:37:12,354
You think
someone at the airport
975
00:37:12,454 --> 00:37:14,088
caught on
to du Preez's smuggling,
976
00:37:14,189 --> 00:37:15,658
Decided to rob him
instead of report him?
977
00:37:15,659 --> 00:37:17,959
Not only that.
I think I know who.
978
00:37:19,259 --> 00:37:21,393
Mr. And Mrs. Kopek,
thank you for coming in so late.
979
00:37:21,394 --> 00:37:22,329
Please.
980
00:37:23,230 --> 00:37:24,330
Oh, sorry it took so long.
981
00:37:24,430 --> 00:37:25,630
Stan was at work
when you called.
982
00:37:25,631 --> 00:37:26,731
Oh, right.
983
00:37:27,232 --> 00:37:29,834
You said that the last time
that you saw your brother
984
00:37:29,835 --> 00:37:32,737
was at the agency's party
around where Stan works?
985
00:37:32,738 --> 00:37:33,738
That's right.
986
00:37:34,638 --> 00:37:35,939
Could you refresh my memory,
Mr. Kopek?
987
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,007
Where is it that you work?
988
00:37:37,308 --> 00:37:38,308
It--it's late.
989
00:37:38,508 --> 00:37:40,209
Could--could you just please
tell us what you found out?
990
00:37:40,610 --> 00:37:43,378
Well, I didn't really
put everything together
991
00:37:43,379 --> 00:37:44,379
until I remembered
992
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,781
your wife's story
about the party
993
00:37:47,582 --> 00:37:49,084
at the airport.
994
00:37:50,085 --> 00:37:51,019
What's this?
995
00:37:51,620 --> 00:37:53,554
It's a customs form,
Mr. Kopek,
996
00:37:54,055 --> 00:37:55,789
authorizing the release
of cargo
997
00:37:55,790 --> 00:37:57,690
to a Mr. Noel du Preez,
998
00:37:57,691 --> 00:37:59,092
signed by you.
999
00:37:59,393 --> 00:38:02,160
Yeah. So?
I-I work for customs.
1000
00:38:02,161 --> 00:38:03,661
What's--
what's the big deal?
1001
00:38:04,062 --> 00:38:05,196
What's going on, Stan?
1002
00:38:05,297 --> 00:38:07,198
I have no idea.
Sure you do.
1003
00:38:07,299 --> 00:38:09,733
When you realized
what Mr. du Preez was doing--
1004
00:38:09,934 --> 00:38:11,734
Smuggling diamonds--
you said to yourself,
1005
00:38:11,835 --> 00:38:14,336
"why should I give him up
to those ungrateful bastards?
1006
00:38:14,437 --> 00:38:16,572
Why not just take care of it myself?"
Stan--
1007
00:38:16,673 --> 00:38:17,708
then all you needed to do
1008
00:38:17,709 --> 00:38:20,142
was pull the import permits
from fish and wildlife
1009
00:38:20,143 --> 00:38:21,511
to determine when
the next shipment would be.
1010
00:38:22,512 --> 00:38:25,546
But you needed someone
with connections
1011
00:38:25,547 --> 00:38:26,747
to fencing stolen goods.
1012
00:38:26,748 --> 00:38:29,283
And so you contacted
Anton Francis--
1013
00:38:29,384 --> 00:38:31,217
A con man
and an old high school buddy
1014
00:38:31,218 --> 00:38:33,352
who'd been in and out of jail
for years.
1015
00:38:33,653 --> 00:38:36,255
The easy score
was money to his ears,
1016
00:38:36,256 --> 00:38:37,791
but you needed to get
the Maitlands out of town
1017
00:38:37,792 --> 00:38:39,297
for a couple of days first.
1018
00:38:39,298 --> 00:38:41,398
And that's when your
brother-in-law Doug came in.
1019
00:38:41,498 --> 00:38:42,498
What did you do, Stan?
1020
00:38:43,399 --> 00:38:46,367
Did you play on his dreams,
tell him he could finally afford
1021
00:38:46,368 --> 00:38:47,739
that scuba shop
he always wanted?
1022
00:38:48,340 --> 00:38:50,440
Stan, what did you do?
1023
00:38:50,540 --> 00:38:51,507
Nothing. Nothing.
I-I don't know--
1024
00:38:51,608 --> 00:38:53,975
Mrs. Kopek, your husband
killed your brother.
1025
00:38:54,176 --> 00:38:55,679
That's ri--
Stan...
1026
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,415
They're lying. That's--
that's ridiculous.
1027
00:38:57,416 --> 00:38:59,616
We have a witness,
Mr. Kopek.
1028
00:39:00,116 --> 00:39:01,116
The squatter
you tried to kill
1029
00:39:01,217 --> 00:39:02,552
identified you
from a photo array
1030
00:39:02,653 --> 00:39:04,587
less than an hour ago.
1031
00:39:05,088 --> 00:39:06,188
Oh, God.
1032
00:39:06,288 --> 00:39:08,989
No, no, it was--it wasn't
supposed to happen like this.
1033
00:39:09,090 --> 00:39:10,391
N-no one
was supposed to get hurt.
1034
00:39:10,492 --> 00:39:13,559
I mean, Doug--he just--
he wouldn't listen.
1035
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,028
And I-I didn't mean...
1036
00:39:15,129 --> 00:39:17,797
And--and Anton,
he came after me.
1037
00:39:17,898 --> 00:39:20,767
He--that was self-defense.
I'm not--I'm not a killer.
1038
00:39:20,768 --> 00:39:22,435
We have two bodies
that prove otherwise.
1039
00:39:23,636 --> 00:39:27,403
It just got out of hand.
Things just spun out of control.
1040
00:39:27,404 --> 00:39:29,304
Get him away from me.
Honey, it's--
1041
00:39:32,107 --> 00:39:34,372
On your feet.
1042
00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:37,708
I did it for us.
1043
00:39:39,177 --> 00:39:41,277
It was all for us, baby.
1044
00:39:41,278 --> 00:39:42,845
This way.
1045
00:39:44,348 --> 00:39:46,982
And you guys thought
I made the whole thing up.
1046
00:39:46,983 --> 00:39:48,451
I believed you
the whole time.
1047
00:39:50,152 --> 00:39:51,619
So what--what happens
to me now?
1048
00:39:51,820 --> 00:39:52,921
I'll go back
to the holding cell
1049
00:39:52,922 --> 00:39:53,990
or am I headed to the tombs?
1050
00:39:53,991 --> 00:39:56,291
Neither. For your cooperation
in the apprehension
1051
00:39:56,391 --> 00:39:58,726
of Stan Kopek,
the A.D.A. Has agreed to a deal.
1052
00:39:59,027 --> 00:40:00,895
Five years probation
for all your sins.
1053
00:40:01,096 --> 00:40:01,996
No jail time?
1054
00:40:02,196 --> 00:40:03,831
You have a shot
at a second chance, Mickey.
1055
00:40:03,832 --> 00:40:04,832
Don't blow it.
1056
00:40:05,232 --> 00:40:08,866
I won't.
Hey, thanks for everything.
1057
00:40:09,167 --> 00:40:10,901
Really, thank you.
All right.
1058
00:40:14,571 --> 00:40:15,872
Whew.
1059
00:40:15,873 --> 00:40:17,974
Oh, man.
I can't wait to go home
1060
00:40:17,975 --> 00:40:19,876
and just slip into a warm bath and--
I--
1061
00:40:19,977 --> 00:40:22,543
Don't. Please don't.
1062
00:40:22,644 --> 00:40:26,079
I was just going to say,
I'm starving.
1063
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,281
We left the restaurant
before I had a chance
1064
00:40:27,282 --> 00:40:27,849
to finish my entree.
1065
00:40:27,950 --> 00:40:29,350
Oh yeah. Well, it wouldn't
have mattered if you did.
1066
00:40:30,250 --> 00:40:32,417
The portions there were tiny.
Ugh.
1067
00:40:33,118 --> 00:40:34,918
You know,
Remy's is open all night.
1068
00:40:34,919 --> 00:40:36,320
They've got those burgers...
1069
00:40:36,421 --> 00:40:37,955
Oh, and those shakes...
1070
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,796
Oh, why not?
Mm.
1071
00:40:48,301 --> 00:40:50,302
So how did your date go?
1072
00:40:50,303 --> 00:40:52,303
She was kind of boring.
1073
00:40:52,304 --> 00:40:54,305
Didn't talk much.
Oh.
1074
00:40:54,306 --> 00:40:56,307
Mr. July?
1075
00:40:56,308 --> 00:40:58,775
A little self-absorbed.
Looked it.
1076
00:40:58,776 --> 00:41:00,777
Really?
You can tell.
1077
00:41:00,778 --> 00:41:03,779
Some people just don't know
how behave on a date.
1078
00:41:03,780 --> 00:41:06,015
Especially on a first date.
Exactly.
1079
00:41:06,016 --> 00:41:11,016
