1
00:00:10,777 --> 00:00:13,473
Wait, we didn't
approve this poster.
2
00:00:13,546 --> 00:00:14,843
No, Sid Ross did.
3
00:00:14,914 --> 00:00:16,347
What Sid wants, Sid gets.
4
00:00:16,416 --> 00:00:18,384
He doesn't care what the network thinks.
5
00:00:18,451 --> 00:00:20,112
Then what's the point of discussing
6
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:21,551
cast changes with him?
7
00:00:21,621 --> 00:00:24,146
He's just gonna do what he wants,
regardless.
8
00:00:24,224 --> 00:00:25,316
As always.
9
00:00:36,102 --> 00:00:37,501
Is he dead?
10
00:00:38,104 --> 00:00:39,366
Is he dead?
11
00:00:40,740 --> 00:00:42,139
Is he dead?
12
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:44,574
Is he dead?
13
00:00:44,644 --> 00:00:47,204
- Hey, good morning, Martha.
- Is he dead?
14
00:00:47,313 --> 00:00:48,803
Is who dead?
15
00:00:48,882 --> 00:00:51,043
No, I'm just...
16
00:00:51,117 --> 00:00:52,641
Is he dead?
17
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,120
Is he dead? Is he dead?
18
00:00:57,257 --> 00:00:59,054
Castle, something's wrong
with your mother.
19
00:00:59,125 --> 00:01:00,717
You're just realizing this now?
20
00:01:00,794 --> 00:01:02,022
No, no, no. Listen.
21
00:01:02,095 --> 00:01:04,222
Is he dead? Is he dead?
22
00:01:04,297 --> 00:01:07,164
Oh! She's doing "48-hour first line."
23
00:01:07,267 --> 00:01:08,564
Oh, that's right,
24
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:12,093
you haven't lived here while
Mother is preparing to open in a play.
25
00:01:12,172 --> 00:01:15,630
This, believe it or not, is her little ritual
for getting into character.
26
00:01:15,942 --> 00:01:18,001
Is he dead?
27
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:20,046
Okay, so this is normal?
28
00:01:20,113 --> 00:01:22,013
She's an actor. What's normal?
29
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:23,879
I call it "48-hour first line"
30
00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:26,748
because for the two days
prior to opening night,
31
00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:30,153
she will say nothing
but her character's first line of the play.
32
00:01:30,256 --> 00:01:32,087
Okay, that's unique.
33
00:01:32,158 --> 00:01:33,216
- Mmm.
- Is he dead?
34
00:01:33,293 --> 00:01:35,261
But doesn't her play open next month?
35
00:01:35,328 --> 00:01:38,354
That's right.
It's previews that are two days away.
36
00:01:38,431 --> 00:01:40,092
Well now, that is odd.
37
00:01:42,001 --> 00:01:43,764
Oh, Castle, there's been a homicide.
38
00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:44,826
Is he dead?
39
00:01:44,904 --> 00:01:46,394
Yes, unfortunately, Martha...
40
00:01:48,007 --> 00:01:49,941
Right. Never mind.
41
00:01:50,009 --> 00:01:52,102
Be honest, when you vowed
"for better or for worse,"
42
00:01:52,178 --> 00:01:54,146
you really had no idea
what you were agreeing to, did you?
43
00:01:55,315 --> 00:01:56,612
Is he dead? Is he dead?
44
00:01:56,683 --> 00:01:57,775
See you, Mother.
45
00:01:57,851 --> 00:01:59,614
Is he dead? Is he dead?
46
00:01:59,686 --> 00:02:01,586
Is...
47
00:02:01,654 --> 00:02:03,747
We can stay at a hotel.
48
00:02:03,823 --> 00:02:06,053
That way, you don't have to listen
to her say that line over and over again.
49
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:07,388
No, it's okay.
I mean, we're gonna manage.
50
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:08,722
It's just, your mom's kind of...
51
00:02:08,828 --> 00:02:11,592
Annoying? Yeah, I know.
Trust me, we're getting off easy.
52
00:02:12,065 --> 00:02:13,862
One time, her opening line was,
53
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:15,958
"Come on, baby,
I'll make it worth your while."
54
00:02:16,035 --> 00:02:17,297
Oh, I see what you mean.
55
00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:20,430
Yeah. Most awkward
parent-teacher conference ever.
56
00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:22,332
Hey, Lanie.
57
00:02:22,408 --> 00:02:24,569
Good morning, you two. This is...
58
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,373
Sid Ross!
59
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:28,174
The creator of Saturday Night Tonight.
60
00:02:28,581 --> 00:02:30,981
Yeah, not to mention all the movies
he produced. The man's a mogul.
61
00:02:31,050 --> 00:02:32,278
So, what happened?
62
00:02:32,352 --> 00:02:33,819
He was strangled with his own tie,
63
00:02:33,887 --> 00:02:35,980
and then thrown down
that elevator shaft
64
00:02:36,055 --> 00:02:38,250
from the SN T Studios on the 7th floor.
65
00:02:38,358 --> 00:02:40,223
His body was on the roof
of that elevator for hours
66
00:02:40,326 --> 00:02:43,159
before the panel gave way,
and Sid popped out.
67
00:02:43,229 --> 00:02:45,720
Like some jack-in-the-box from hell.
68
00:02:45,798 --> 00:02:47,095
Time of death?
69
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:48,156
Based on lividity,
between 11:00 p.m.
70
00:02:48,234 --> 00:02:49,326
And 2:00 a.m.
71
00:02:49,402 --> 00:02:51,165
Looks like Sid
was burning the midnight oil.
72
00:02:51,237 --> 00:02:52,499
Let's check with security,
73
00:02:52,572 --> 00:02:54,369
see if they know if anyone else
was in the building with him.
74
00:02:57,243 --> 00:02:58,301
Considering where we are,
75
00:02:58,411 --> 00:03:00,208
maybe one of Sid's employees
killed him.
76
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,374
Yeah, well, Ryan and Esposito
are bringing his wife in now.
77
00:03:03,449 --> 00:03:05,144
Maybe she knows
who would've done this to him.
78
00:03:06,152 --> 00:03:07,983
Everyone was scared of Sid.
79
00:03:08,454 --> 00:03:10,319
But they didn't know him like I did.
80
00:03:11,257 --> 00:03:14,988
They thought he was
just a cold, tyrannical dictator.
81
00:03:15,094 --> 00:03:16,561
Sounds like he had enemies.
82
00:03:16,629 --> 00:03:20,998
Well, after 35 years of
making and breaking careers, you...
83
00:03:22,435 --> 00:03:24,027
You're bound to piss off a few people.
84
00:03:24,103 --> 00:03:26,333
Anyone at
Saturday Night Tonight Studio?
85
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:29,203
Yeah, was he having trouble
with any of his employees there?
86
00:03:29,275 --> 00:03:32,267
I don't know. Maybe. I...
87
00:03:32,345 --> 00:03:35,610
Sid called me last night. It was odd.
88
00:03:35,682 --> 00:03:37,741
Uh, he said he was
going to be working late.
89
00:03:37,817 --> 00:03:38,841
And that's unusual?
90
00:03:38,918 --> 00:03:41,250
No, he was a workaholic.
91
00:03:41,955 --> 00:03:45,118
The odd part was his tone,
it was anxious.
92
00:03:45,525 --> 00:03:48,858
He said someone was out to get him
and he needed to handle it.
93
00:03:48,928 --> 00:03:50,452
Any idea who that someone might be?
94
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:53,465
Well, I just assumed it was
one of his big business deals.
95
00:03:53,533 --> 00:03:56,093
Is there anyone else who might know
what Sid was involved in?
96
00:03:56,169 --> 00:03:59,536
Yes, the head of
his production company, Gene Vogel.
97
00:03:59,606 --> 00:04:01,597
Mr. Vogel is right over here.
98
00:04:01,674 --> 00:04:02,971
- Chad... It's Chad, right?
- Mmm-hmm.
99
00:04:03,042 --> 00:04:06,170
Are these, uh, cast photos
from all 35 seasons of the show?
100
00:04:06,279 --> 00:04:09,043
Yep, every performer
who has ever been on SN T.
101
00:04:09,115 --> 00:04:11,242
Oh, I liked him.
He played Fluffy the Space Puppy.
102
00:04:11,317 --> 00:04:12,511
That was my favorite.
103
00:04:12,585 --> 00:04:14,644
You know, majority
of this nation's comedy
104
00:04:14,721 --> 00:04:16,780
was born in the minds
of these geniuses.
105
00:04:16,856 --> 00:04:18,619
Except for this season.
Those guys sucked.
106
00:04:18,691 --> 00:04:19,749
Yeah, they were terrible.
107
00:04:19,826 --> 00:04:22,954
Oh, this guy, uh, Ned what's-his-name.
He played, uh, Dr. Finger!
108
00:04:23,029 --> 00:04:24,553
"I'm sorry, sir, it's necessary.
109
00:04:24,631 --> 00:04:25,620
"I must probe you."
110
00:04:26,633 --> 00:04:27,895
How can you not like Dr. Finger?
111
00:04:28,001 --> 00:04:31,334
Because, Castle,
I wasn't a 13-year-old boy.
112
00:04:31,404 --> 00:04:33,133
Probe you.
113
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:38,238
That's Mr. Vogel.
114
00:04:38,344 --> 00:04:41,177
He's the president
of Mr. Ross' production company.
115
00:04:41,247 --> 00:04:42,646
Gather round, please.
116
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:45,413
Thank you, everybody.
117
00:04:45,718 --> 00:04:48,516
As tragic as Sid's death is,
118
00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:52,251
the network has asked us
to go on with tomorrow night's show
119
00:04:52,358 --> 00:04:53,882
as a tribute.
120
00:04:54,727 --> 00:04:57,161
Would you care to say a few words?
121
00:05:00,033 --> 00:05:01,057
Check it out! That's...
122
00:05:01,167 --> 00:05:02,395
- Danny Valentine!
- Danny Valentine!
123
00:05:02,502 --> 00:05:03,764
He's our guest host this week.
124
00:05:04,170 --> 00:05:07,435
I remember when Sid asked me
to host the pilot of this
125
00:05:07,507 --> 00:05:08,496
crazy show.
126
00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:11,506
Everybody said,
"Turn him down, show's a dud."
127
00:05:11,577 --> 00:05:15,069
Well, 35 years later,
it's still going strong!
128
00:05:15,848 --> 00:05:19,545
We honor Sid by honoring his creation.
129
00:05:19,619 --> 00:05:22,019
So, let's put on a show!
130
00:05:22,088 --> 00:05:23,248
- Yeah.
- Yes.
131
00:05:25,958 --> 00:05:28,449
Mr. Vogel? Excuse me, I'm...
132
00:05:28,561 --> 00:05:30,961
Detective Kate Beckett!
And you're Richard Castle!
133
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:32,088
Hi, I'm Liz Bell.
134
00:05:32,198 --> 00:05:34,860
I'm the head writer for SN T,
and I absolutely adore you.
135
00:05:34,934 --> 00:05:37,198
And you. Especially you.
136
00:05:38,004 --> 00:05:39,369
What? Me? Really? Well, I...
137
00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:41,339
Oh, of course.
I mean, I followed your career.
138
00:05:41,407 --> 00:05:43,671
I wanted to be a cop,
but ended up a writer.
139
00:05:44,777 --> 00:05:46,108
I know, it's pathetic.
140
00:05:46,212 --> 00:05:47,440
Excuse me?
141
00:05:47,547 --> 00:05:49,777
So, I've seen footage
of you at crime scenes
142
00:05:49,882 --> 00:05:53,045
and I have to ask, how do you
fight crime and keep your hair like that?
143
00:05:53,119 --> 00:05:54,916
And do it in high heels?
144
00:05:55,421 --> 00:05:58,652
Detective, I assume you're here
about Sid's death. How can I help?
145
00:05:58,725 --> 00:06:00,693
Well, uh, we checked with security,
146
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,786
and I understand that most employees
enter and exit through the front door.
147
00:06:03,896 --> 00:06:06,421
But apparently,
there's also a private VIP entrance?
148
00:06:06,499 --> 00:06:08,490
That's right.
Sid had it installed for the actors
149
00:06:08,601 --> 00:06:11,092
so they could come and go
with more privacy.
150
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:13,104
Are there any security cameras
on that private entrance?
151
00:06:13,172 --> 00:06:14,332
They're actors.
152
00:06:14,407 --> 00:06:16,136
So they also use it
to do other things, like...
153
00:06:16,743 --> 00:06:18,973
Sid opted not to have surveillance.
154
00:06:19,078 --> 00:06:22,377
So, there's no way of telling who came
in or out of the private entrance?
155
00:06:22,448 --> 00:06:23,676
I'm afraid not.
156
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:27,151
Was anyone working here last night
between 11:00 p.m. And 2:00 a. M?
157
00:06:27,220 --> 00:06:29,745
- Oh...
- Yes, all the writers and actors.
158
00:06:29,822 --> 00:06:33,451
Thursday is rewrite night,
so most of them were here until sunup.
159
00:06:33,526 --> 00:06:36,359
Of those people,
did anyone have a problem with Sid?
160
00:06:40,299 --> 00:06:41,391
Who?
161
00:06:42,802 --> 00:06:45,134
Sorry, sir, we're not quite open yet.
162
00:06:45,204 --> 00:06:47,035
I record all of our rehearsals.
163
00:06:47,106 --> 00:06:48,903
This took place yesterday evening.
164
00:06:48,975 --> 00:06:50,943
Dude, why are you wearing armor?
165
00:06:51,010 --> 00:06:53,342
Because this sketch sucks
and I'm trying to save it.
166
00:06:53,446 --> 00:06:55,471
Mickey Franks is hilarious.
167
00:06:55,581 --> 00:06:57,276
Yes, well. Just watch.
168
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:59,908
Mickey, you can't do this.
Sid already approved the sketch.
169
00:07:00,853 --> 00:07:02,684
You know, screw Sid!
170
00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:04,450
Screw Sid!
You wanna know what I think of Sid?
171
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:06,151
Look, that's what I think of Sid!
172
00:07:06,526 --> 00:07:08,756
Sid's dead, that's what he is!
He's dead to me!
173
00:07:08,828 --> 00:07:09,988
I'll kill him!
174
00:07:10,096 --> 00:07:12,496
He's dead! He's dead! He's dead!
175
00:07:12,698 --> 00:07:14,791
He's dead! He's...
176
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:18,437
Over the season, Mickey's become
more and more unstable.
177
00:07:18,504 --> 00:07:21,598
Mood swings, outbursts,
talks to himself.
178
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:24,103
And to people who aren't there.
179
00:07:24,177 --> 00:07:26,042
But that was the first time
he ever went this far.
180
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:27,875
Well, did he have a reason
to be angry with Sid?
181
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:29,345
Aside from the lame sketch?
182
00:07:29,449 --> 00:07:30,507
Actually, yes.
183
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:35,144
I talked to Sid yesterday morning.
He said he was planning to fire Mickey.
184
00:07:36,189 --> 00:07:37,451
How can he fire his star?
185
00:07:37,523 --> 00:07:40,549
Ah. He's volatile. Unpredictable.
186
00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:42,525
He's become
more and more of a liability.
187
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:45,793
Mr. Vogel, did Sid break the news
to Mickey last night?
188
00:07:45,865 --> 00:07:47,662
I don't know. But he might have.
189
00:07:47,733 --> 00:07:49,792
Well, Mickey wasn't
at the gathering for Sid.
190
00:07:49,869 --> 00:07:50,961
Is he in the building?
191
00:07:51,037 --> 00:07:52,937
If he is, he'll be in
the wardrobe and props room.
192
00:07:53,005 --> 00:07:54,973
He hangs out there
to develop new characters.
193
00:07:57,477 --> 00:08:00,037
Hello? Anybody there?
194
00:08:00,146 --> 00:08:02,478
I'm really hoping
Mickey's not the one behind this.
195
00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:04,880
I mean, the man
is just so damn funny on the show.
196
00:08:04,984 --> 00:08:07,509
Even the crappy episodes.
Guy's hysterical.
197
00:08:07,587 --> 00:08:10,078
And quite possibly
suffering a psychotic break.
198
00:08:10,189 --> 00:08:11,884
Yes, the fine line
199
00:08:11,958 --> 00:08:14,153
between genius and madness.
200
00:08:22,435 --> 00:08:24,528
Mickey Franks, is that you?
201
00:08:26,572 --> 00:08:27,596
I'm sorry.
202
00:08:27,707 --> 00:08:30,005
You must've mistaken me
for another suit of armor.
203
00:08:30,076 --> 00:08:31,839
Now, if you'll excuse me.
204
00:08:31,911 --> 00:08:34,209
NYPD. We need to talk.
205
00:08:36,048 --> 00:08:38,539
You'll never take me alive, copper!
206
00:08:41,554 --> 00:08:43,249
Oh! My pancreas!
207
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:49,620
You see what I'm saying?
Even arrested, he's hilarious!
208
00:08:50,963 --> 00:08:54,694
Mr. Franks, you're a comedic genius.
I'm a huge fan.
209
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:56,228
It's his face!
210
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Ripped By mstoll
211
00:09:07,246 --> 00:09:08,645
Mr. Franks.
212
00:09:08,748 --> 00:09:10,739
Please direct all your questions
to my personal attorney.
213
00:09:12,451 --> 00:09:17,115
Mickey, don't say another word.
I am lead counsel for Mr. Franks.
214
00:09:23,629 --> 00:09:28,328
Uh, Mr. Franks, you made some threats
against Sid Ross last night.
215
00:09:28,434 --> 00:09:30,095
You're damn right, I...
Don't answer that!
216
00:09:31,737 --> 00:09:35,332
Detective,
address your questions to me, please.
217
00:09:35,441 --> 00:09:36,772
Thank you.
218
00:09:40,146 --> 00:09:41,340
Uh, where were...
219
00:09:43,516 --> 00:09:48,010
Where was your client between
11:00 p.m. And 2:00 a.m. Last night?
220
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,179
He was minding
his own damn business!
221
00:09:50,289 --> 00:09:53,486
My client is an upstanding citizen
and a pillar of the community,
222
00:09:53,593 --> 00:09:56,494
not to mention,
he's also one funny mother-fudgsicle...
223
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:58,723
Hey, watch your language! That's just...
224
00:09:59,532 --> 00:10:00,965
What happened, Mickey?
225
00:10:01,033 --> 00:10:04,002
Did Sid tell you that you were fired,
so you snapped and killed him?
226
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:06,804
Hold on. What?
227
00:10:06,872 --> 00:10:08,499
Sid... Sid's dead?
228
00:10:11,277 --> 00:10:12,972
Whoa! Hey, I...
229
00:10:13,813 --> 00:10:15,041
I didn't kill him.
230
00:10:15,147 --> 00:10:17,877
I notice you're no longer
seeking counsel from your attorney.
231
00:10:17,950 --> 00:10:22,216
Yeah, no, that's, uh, just an act.
I mean, I'm not crazy.
232
00:10:22,321 --> 00:10:24,915
I've just spent a year of my life
convincing people that I was.
233
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:26,959
Yeah, and you've done
a pretty good job of it.
234
00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:28,653
I'm an actor, okay?
235
00:10:28,728 --> 00:10:32,562
I am an actor
that's tied to a long-term contract
236
00:10:32,665 --> 00:10:34,428
that's, uh, not exactly
covering his expenses.
237
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:36,297
Are you were saying
you were trying to get fired?
238
00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:38,462
I'm saying, Sid controls my career.
239
00:10:38,537 --> 00:10:40,698
Because of him,
I'm missing out on major movie roles.
240
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:42,964
That's why I attacked you guys.
241
00:10:43,042 --> 00:10:46,170
I figured maybe if you 5150'd me
on a Bellevue psych hold,
242
00:10:46,245 --> 00:10:47,678
he would finally cut me loose.
243
00:10:47,747 --> 00:10:49,442
Okay, look, crazy or not,
244
00:10:49,515 --> 00:10:51,676
you still made some
pretty serious threats against Sid,
245
00:10:51,751 --> 00:10:53,275
and hours later he ended up dead.
246
00:10:53,352 --> 00:10:55,013
Okay, you're asking
my whereabouts, right?
247
00:10:55,087 --> 00:10:56,281
Mmm.
248
00:10:56,355 --> 00:11:00,052
Okay, I was upstairs at the rooftop bar,
getting wasted all night.
249
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:03,322
And I stumbled down to the wardrobe
and props room at about 3:00 a.m.
250
00:11:03,396 --> 00:11:04,488
And passed out.
251
00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:07,090
I had just woken up
when you guys came in.
252
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:09,134
Plus, I had no idea Sid was even dead,
253
00:11:09,201 --> 00:11:10,361
so how could I have had
anything to do with it?
254
00:11:10,436 --> 00:11:11,425
Okay.
255
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:14,998
Look, I might know who did.
256
00:11:15,908 --> 00:11:18,103
Okay. We're listening.
257
00:11:19,612 --> 00:11:23,571
Look, at around 9:00 p.m. Last night,
I did go to Sid's office
258
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:25,617
to beg to be let out of my contract.
259
00:11:25,718 --> 00:11:29,279
But I never went in,
because I heard him on the phone.
260
00:11:29,355 --> 00:11:30,617
He was yelling at someone.
261
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:31,782
Who was he yelling at?
262
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:32,881
I don't know.
263
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:35,586
But it had something to do with a deal
that was going down around midnight.
264
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:37,356
Midnight?
Did he say what the deal was?
265
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:38,419
No.
266
00:11:38,497 --> 00:11:40,829
But Sid told that person on the phone
they'd better stick to the agreement,
267
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:41,889
or else.
268
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:46,599
Can I call my real attorney?
269
00:11:47,206 --> 00:11:50,539
The bartender confirmed Mickey's alibi.
He's not our killer.
270
00:11:50,609 --> 00:11:52,236
Well, then we can assume
Mickey was telling the truth
271
00:11:52,311 --> 00:11:54,302
about the phone call
he overheard Sid making.
272
00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,746
Yeah, but what kind of deal
would Sid be making at midnight?
273
00:11:56,816 --> 00:11:59,717
Whatever it was, it went down in
the middle of his time-of-death window.
274
00:11:59,785 --> 00:12:01,514
So this deal
could be connected to his death.
275
00:12:01,587 --> 00:12:04,556
We need to figure out
who Sid was talking on the phone with.
276
00:12:04,623 --> 00:12:07,023
Well, that's easier said than done,
I just got Sid's phone dump.
277
00:12:07,093 --> 00:12:09,926
That 9:00 p.m. Phone call came
from an untraceable burner phone.
278
00:12:09,995 --> 00:12:12,225
You know what? Why don't we
a hold of Sid's associates,
279
00:12:12,298 --> 00:12:13,993
see if any of them know
what this deal was?
280
00:12:14,066 --> 00:12:15,363
And I know exactly who to start with.
281
00:12:15,434 --> 00:12:17,026
Right after that mystery call,
282
00:12:17,103 --> 00:12:18,900
Sid phoned
none other than Danny Valentine.
283
00:12:18,971 --> 00:12:21,872
If anyone knows about that deal,
it's Valentine.
284
00:12:21,941 --> 00:12:25,172
Detective, I have no idea
what you're talking about.
285
00:12:25,277 --> 00:12:29,805
Look, buddy, I'm a cop and a model,
so I know when someone's lying to me.
286
00:12:30,316 --> 00:12:32,284
And when their outfit is clashing.
287
00:12:32,384 --> 00:12:34,648
Now, stand back.
This could be dangerous.
288
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:35,812
Don't worry.
289
00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:38,914
My experience writing crime novels
has prepared me for danger.
290
00:12:39,725 --> 00:12:41,215
Plus, I have my vest.
291
00:12:44,296 --> 00:12:46,355
Look out, bad guys,
here we come!
292
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:49,860
Uh...
293
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:52,233
Model cop down. I broke a heel!
294
00:12:53,572 --> 00:12:55,403
And scene! Great job, guys.
295
00:12:55,474 --> 00:12:58,443
Okay, well, I don't know whether
we should be flattered or offended.
296
00:12:58,511 --> 00:13:01,241
Who cares?
Danny Valentine's playing me!
297
00:13:01,313 --> 00:13:03,474
Well? What do you think?
298
00:13:03,582 --> 00:13:05,311
Um, about the sketch? It's cute.
299
00:13:05,417 --> 00:13:07,317
Danny Valentine's playing me.
300
00:13:07,419 --> 00:13:08,408
Yeah.
301
00:13:08,587 --> 00:13:11,078
Speaking of Mr. Valentine,
we need to talk to him.
302
00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:13,482
Oh. Uh, Danny.
303
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:15,821
Ah-ha! The real police.
304
00:13:16,529 --> 00:13:17,791
Here to give us some pointers?
305
00:13:17,863 --> 00:13:20,354
Mr. Valentine, Richard Castle,
I'm a big fan...
306
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:21,899
Yeah, what about you, Detective?
307
00:13:23,602 --> 00:13:24,864
Are you a fan?
308
00:13:26,872 --> 00:13:30,137
Uh, Mr. Valentine, we need to talk.
309
00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:32,803
Sure. Let's go to my dressing room.
310
00:13:39,118 --> 00:13:41,177
Surely you've seen some of my work.
311
00:13:41,287 --> 00:13:45,519
Star Fleet? Family Practice?
My, uh, car-rental commercials?
312
00:13:45,724 --> 00:13:46,816
Uh...
313
00:13:46,892 --> 00:13:49,053
Yeah, well,
I did catch my fair share
314
00:13:49,128 --> 00:13:50,720
of Hot Suspect reruns in college.
315
00:13:50,796 --> 00:13:53,526
I knew it!
The cop watched the cop show.
316
00:13:53,632 --> 00:13:56,260
Come on, I inspired you
to become a detective, didn't I?
317
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:57,894
Huh?
318
00:13:58,470 --> 00:14:00,131
Maybe a little bit.
319
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:03,403
We're investigating a murder. Right?
320
00:14:04,743 --> 00:14:06,005
Right, yeah.
321
00:14:06,078 --> 00:14:08,569
Uh... So,
we checked Sid's phone records,
322
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:11,013
and apparently,
he called you at 9:03 last night.
323
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:12,345
Can you tell us why?
324
00:14:12,885 --> 00:14:15,820
Yeah, I was supposed to have drinks
with Sid and his ex, Evelyn.
325
00:14:15,888 --> 00:14:17,651
But Sid called last minute to cancel.
326
00:14:17,723 --> 00:14:20,283
You and Sid
were going out with his ex-wife?
327
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:21,849
Isn't that a little odd?
328
00:14:21,927 --> 00:14:23,019
Not for us.
329
00:14:23,095 --> 00:14:26,826
Sid and Evelyn split 20 years ago,
but we were all still close friends.
330
00:14:26,899 --> 00:14:28,230
Did he say why he was canceling?
331
00:14:29,401 --> 00:14:30,834
Afraid not.
332
00:14:31,937 --> 00:14:33,871
Anything about a deal at midnight?
333
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,637
No, but he was going somewhere,
because while we were on the phone,
334
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:41,168
I literally bumped into him leaving
the building from the private entrance.
335
00:14:42,181 --> 00:14:43,512
Wait. Sid was leaving the building
336
00:14:43,582 --> 00:14:44,674
- the night of his murder?
- Mmm-hmm.
337
00:14:44,750 --> 00:14:47,446
Uh, Mr. Valentine,
did he mention meeting with someone?
338
00:14:48,420 --> 00:14:50,752
Please, call me Danny.
339
00:14:51,857 --> 00:14:53,518
And, no,
Sid didn't say where he was going.
340
00:14:55,694 --> 00:14:58,254
But I did see something strange.
341
00:14:58,364 --> 00:15:00,355
He went into the subway on the corner.
342
00:15:00,432 --> 00:15:02,764
And why was that strange, Danny?
343
00:15:03,302 --> 00:15:05,964
Well,
he had an around-the-clock driver,
344
00:15:06,071 --> 00:15:08,437
so why would he take mass transit?
345
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:11,433
Unless it was a secret rendezvous.
346
00:15:16,148 --> 00:15:17,877
Well, wherever Sid went,
347
00:15:17,950 --> 00:15:20,384
he obviously didn't want
anyone to know about it.
348
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:23,316
Oh, come on, Castle!
349
00:15:23,422 --> 00:15:25,913
He was flirting with me.
I can't control that.
350
00:15:25,991 --> 00:15:27,322
But you were flirting right back!
351
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:30,327
Yeah, but what was I supposed to do?
He's Danny freaking Valentine!
352
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:33,364
Espo. Hey.
353
00:15:33,432 --> 00:15:35,229
You find out where Sid went
on that subway ride?
354
00:15:35,301 --> 00:15:37,895
Not yet, but I spoke to Gene Vogel
from Sid's company.
355
00:15:37,970 --> 00:15:39,267
The only deal that he knew about
356
00:15:39,338 --> 00:15:41,101
was one that hasn't been
officially announced yet.
357
00:15:41,173 --> 00:15:44,370
Apparently, Sid was gonna sell
49% of his company to an equity firm.
358
00:15:44,443 --> 00:15:45,842
Could that be the deal
Sid was talking about?
359
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:47,173
Doesn't look like it.
360
00:15:47,246 --> 00:15:48,770
The terms of the sale
would've been settled weeks ago,
361
00:15:48,847 --> 00:15:50,041
there was nothing left to negotiate.
362
00:15:50,115 --> 00:15:52,413
Hey, guys,
you're gonna wanna see this.
363
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:57,487
So, Sid paid for his MetroCard in cash,
364
00:15:57,589 --> 00:15:59,147
but I was able to use security cams
365
00:15:59,258 --> 00:16:02,750
to track him all the way
to Grand Army Plaza subway station.
366
00:16:02,828 --> 00:16:05,092
He got off there at 11:30 p.m.
367
00:16:05,164 --> 00:16:07,029
In Brooklyn?
What was he doing in Brooklyn?
368
00:16:07,099 --> 00:16:10,296
You know, I wondered the same thing,
so I checked with the 87th Precinct.
369
00:16:10,369 --> 00:16:13,532
Apparently, they responded
to a 911 call in that area.
370
00:16:13,605 --> 00:16:15,630
- About what?
- Well, check it out.
371
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:18,734
Officers used traffic-cam footage,
and they caught the tail end of it.
372
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:22,269
This is about a block away
from where Sid got off the subway.
373
00:16:22,348 --> 00:16:24,043
Now, keep your eye
on that alley right there.
374
00:16:28,887 --> 00:16:30,878
- Were those gunshots?
- Fits with the 911 call.
375
00:16:31,390 --> 00:16:34,052
It was a report of "shots fired."
Now, watch what happens next.
376
00:16:38,364 --> 00:16:39,854
That's Sid.
377
00:16:39,965 --> 00:16:43,492
You guys, look at the time stamp.
It's from just after midnight.
378
00:16:43,569 --> 00:16:45,434
This must be the deal
he was talking about.
379
00:16:45,504 --> 00:16:47,995
And judging by the speed
his 60-year-old legs are moving,
380
00:16:48,073 --> 00:16:49,802
I would say he's in danger.
381
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:53,971
Who's that?
382
00:16:54,046 --> 00:16:55,138
I don't know, but he's got a gun.
383
00:16:55,214 --> 00:16:56,977
And he's wearing a mask.
384
00:16:57,049 --> 00:16:59,540
And, hours later,
Sid gets thrown down an elevator shaft?
385
00:17:00,652 --> 00:17:03,450
What the hell was Sid mixed up in?
386
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:08,292
You guys, is it just me
or does none of this make sense?
387
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:10,260
I mean, Sid was a multi-millionaire.
388
00:17:10,329 --> 00:17:13,093
Guys like that don't make shady deals
in the middle of dark alleys.
389
00:17:13,165 --> 00:17:15,133
Or if you do,
you have someone else do it for you.
390
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,963
Yeah, and take a look
at our suspect there.
391
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:20,199
I mean, what is this?
A deal gone wrong, or a failed hit?
392
00:17:20,272 --> 00:17:21,432
So, uh, what are we saying here?
393
00:17:21,507 --> 00:17:24,738
That the masked man followed Sid back
to the SN T building and killed him?
394
00:17:25,411 --> 00:17:27,276
Well, with a private entrance
with no surveillance cameras,
395
00:17:27,346 --> 00:17:28,506
it's possible, right?
396
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:30,707
But after an apparent attempt on his life,
397
00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:32,512
why would Sid
just go back to the office?
398
00:17:32,584 --> 00:17:35,075
And if Sid really was in danger,
why didn't he call security?
399
00:17:35,187 --> 00:17:37,018
Well, we may find some answers
in that alley.
400
00:17:37,089 --> 00:17:38,317
Let's go check it out.
401
00:17:38,390 --> 00:17:39,982
Okay, Castle and I
are gonna scrub traffic cams,
402
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:41,424
maybe we'll find the shooter there.
403
00:17:47,366 --> 00:17:48,833
Anything yet?
404
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:53,429
No. No blood,
no shell casings, no nothing.
405
00:17:54,706 --> 00:17:58,472
Hey, doesn't this remind you of, uh, that
sketch from Saturday Night Tonight
406
00:17:58,544 --> 00:18:01,445
where, uh, Mickey Franks plays
Sherlock Holmes' wacky cousin?
407
00:18:02,614 --> 00:18:04,241
No, I don't watch that stupid show, bro.
408
00:18:04,716 --> 00:18:05,774
You don't?
409
00:18:06,318 --> 00:18:09,481
No. Hell no.
The sketches never have any endings.
410
00:18:09,555 --> 00:18:11,682
It's a big waste of time,
just like searching this alley is.
411
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:15,352
You know, Javi, I think that you need
to find a way to be more positive.
412
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:16,621
No, I don't.
413
00:18:16,695 --> 00:18:18,686
And you need to stop
saying "no" all the time.
414
00:18:19,465 --> 00:18:22,366
Instead, why don't you try saying,
"Yes, and..."
415
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:24,197
What the hell are you talking about?
416
00:18:24,269 --> 00:18:26,965
Oh, I learned it in a SN T- sponsored
417
00:18:27,072 --> 00:18:29,472
improvisation class
that I took in college.
418
00:18:29,575 --> 00:18:32,442
See, by simply substituting
"no" with "yes, and,"
419
00:18:32,544 --> 00:18:35,570
partners can't deny
one another's progress,
420
00:18:35,647 --> 00:18:37,808
moving forward in a scene
and accomplishing goals.
421
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:41,815
Yo, that guy might've been
here last night.
422
00:18:43,489 --> 00:18:45,047
Yes, and he might have seen
423
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:46,989
the exchange between
Sid and the gunman.
424
00:18:47,426 --> 00:18:49,519
See what you can accomplish
by saying "Yes, and", hmm?
425
00:18:49,595 --> 00:18:52,086
Yes, and you need to shut the hell up.
426
00:18:52,164 --> 00:18:53,256
Hey!
427
00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:02,130
Martha, you okay?
428
00:19:02,241 --> 00:19:05,472
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Just a little tired, that's all.
429
00:19:06,411 --> 00:19:07,435
Shall we?
430
00:19:07,846 --> 00:19:08,904
Hey.
431
00:19:09,681 --> 00:19:11,114
Something's wrong with your mom.
432
00:19:11,183 --> 00:19:12,810
I thought we already covered that.
433
00:19:12,918 --> 00:19:15,751
No, no, no, she's not repeating the line.
Something else is going on.
434
00:19:16,588 --> 00:19:18,522
Can't we just be happy
that she stopped?
435
00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:21,292
Castle, I have to go to the precinct.
436
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,021
Will you just talk to her
and meet me over there?
437
00:19:23,095 --> 00:19:24,084
Yeah.
438
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,597
Okay. Bye. Bye, Martha.
439
00:19:26,665 --> 00:19:28,098
Bye, honey.
440
00:19:30,369 --> 00:19:33,497
So, previews tonight.
441
00:19:33,572 --> 00:19:34,630
Pretty exciting, huh?
442
00:19:35,607 --> 00:19:37,040
Come on. "Is he dead?"
443
00:19:37,276 --> 00:19:40,302
Wrong question.
Am I dead?
444
00:19:42,981 --> 00:19:44,642
You know, I don't know
what I'm thinking.
445
00:19:44,716 --> 00:19:49,050
Eight performances a week, major play.
On Broadway.
446
00:19:49,121 --> 00:19:50,383
You've been on Broadway before.
447
00:19:50,455 --> 00:19:53,447
Well, not since
the Clinton administration.
448
00:19:54,059 --> 00:19:55,856
And now, it's all viral.
449
00:19:55,961 --> 00:19:57,986
Bloggers. Tweeters.
450
00:19:58,063 --> 00:20:00,361
You know, people actually
come to the previews,
451
00:20:00,465 --> 00:20:04,561
record the show on their phone,
put it online, and make comments.
452
00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:07,639
And you don't feel
your performance is ready?
453
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,970
Well,
I'm still honing my performance.
454
00:20:10,042 --> 00:20:12,306
That's what a...
That's what previews are for!
455
00:20:12,377 --> 00:20:13,844
And I just...
456
00:20:17,482 --> 00:20:19,211
I just don't want to be humiliated.
457
00:20:20,252 --> 00:20:22,880
When I got this part,
I thought, "Well, hey!
458
00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:27,152
"There's a chance, you know?
This could be my second act!"
459
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:28,215
It is.
460
00:20:28,293 --> 00:20:29,351
No, it isn't.
461
00:20:30,362 --> 00:20:33,388
It isn't.
I'm not gonna have a second act. I...
462
00:20:34,666 --> 00:20:36,861
I think what I need to do is just drop out,
463
00:20:36,935 --> 00:20:39,597
let my understudy take over.
She's very...
464
00:20:39,671 --> 00:20:41,662
Oh, absolutely not.
465
00:20:41,740 --> 00:20:44,573
You will not, and do you know why?
466
00:20:44,676 --> 00:20:47,440
Because you're a fighter.
What have you always told me?
467
00:20:47,546 --> 00:20:51,073
No one will give you anything
in this life.
468
00:20:51,183 --> 00:20:52,844
You must earn it.
469
00:20:52,918 --> 00:20:56,410
And look at you, almost 20 years later,
and you're back on Broadway?
470
00:20:56,521 --> 00:20:58,284
You have earned this.
471
00:21:01,059 --> 00:21:02,959
I have, haven't I?
472
00:21:03,128 --> 00:21:04,720
You have.
473
00:21:04,796 --> 00:21:08,630
Please don't let some idiot with
a cell phone take that away from you.
474
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:11,000
Do you want me
to come to tonight's show?
475
00:21:11,069 --> 00:21:13,060
Just for moral support?
476
00:21:14,406 --> 00:21:17,034
I want you to come
to the opening, kiddo.
477
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:19,043
Just like you always do.
478
00:21:19,111 --> 00:21:20,169
All right.
479
00:21:20,245 --> 00:21:23,146
But if I have to wait, at least let me hear
that sweet first line one more time.
480
00:21:23,548 --> 00:21:24,640
Okay. Um...
481
00:21:26,918 --> 00:21:28,112
Is he dead?
482
00:21:28,220 --> 00:21:29,482
But with feeling!
483
00:21:30,989 --> 00:21:32,115
Is he dead?
484
00:21:32,224 --> 00:21:33,748
One more, for the cheap seats.
485
00:21:33,825 --> 00:21:35,292
Is he dead?
486
00:21:35,394 --> 00:21:37,658
He's so dead!
487
00:21:37,829 --> 00:21:38,853
Ah.
488
00:21:38,930 --> 00:21:40,454
And, bow.
489
00:21:42,901 --> 00:21:44,926
Hey. So what'd you guys get
from the homeless man?
490
00:21:45,003 --> 00:21:47,665
Well, he didn't witness the exchange
between Sid and our masked gunman.
491
00:21:47,773 --> 00:21:49,240
However, he did hear the gunshots,
492
00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:52,072
and then a few minutes later
he saw a black Explorer speeding away.
493
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:53,509
- Did he get a plate?
- Yeah.
494
00:21:53,578 --> 00:21:58,481
The last four numbers, which got us
a match to an SUV rented by this guy.
495
00:21:59,084 --> 00:22:00,745
Kurt Van Zant.
496
00:22:00,819 --> 00:22:03,549
Just did a 35-year stretch in Folsom
for drug trafficking,
497
00:22:03,622 --> 00:22:04,919
but he was just released.
498
00:22:04,990 --> 00:22:07,288
Is there a connection
between Sid and this ex-con?
499
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,419
Oh, yeah. Uh, while he was in prison,
Van Zant filed a lawsuit
500
00:22:10,495 --> 00:22:13,191
claiming that he financed the pilot
for Saturday Night Tonight
501
00:22:13,265 --> 00:22:14,789
and that Sid screwed him out
of all the profits.
502
00:22:14,866 --> 00:22:15,924
Wait a minute.
503
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:19,767
You're telling me that a drug kingpin
bankrolled that comedy show?
504
00:22:19,838 --> 00:22:22,136
Yeah, I know, it sounds like
one of their comedy sketches, right?
505
00:22:22,207 --> 00:22:26,143
So, a show that brought joy, laughter
and Judge Booty to people everywhere
506
00:22:26,211 --> 00:22:27,610
may have been built on drug money?
507
00:22:27,679 --> 00:22:29,112
Yeah, but the lawsuit
was thrown out,
508
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:31,445
so while Sid was getting rich,
Van Zant was rotting in prison.
509
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:33,643
You know, maybe Van Zant
was who Sid was talking about
510
00:22:33,719 --> 00:22:35,277
when he told his wife
someone was after him.
511
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:36,616
Makes sense, right?
512
00:22:36,688 --> 00:22:39,851
Van Zant felt that Sid owed him
a share of the profits from the show,
513
00:22:39,958 --> 00:22:40,982
maybe he came to collect.
514
00:22:41,059 --> 00:22:45,052
And when Sid didn't wanna go along,
Van Zant opted for revenge instead.
515
00:22:45,163 --> 00:22:46,528
Where is Van Zant now?
516
00:22:46,631 --> 00:22:48,030
He's registered at a hotel up in Queens.
517
00:22:48,133 --> 00:22:51,899
Yo, I sent Van Zant's photo
to security at SN T.
518
00:22:52,003 --> 00:22:53,334
Asked if anybody saw him last night.
519
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:54,463
No one did.
520
00:22:54,539 --> 00:22:57,440
However, 30 minutes ago, Van Zant
entered the building on a day pass
521
00:22:57,509 --> 00:22:58,635
called in from someone at the show.
522
00:23:00,812 --> 00:23:03,246
Kurt Van Zant?
You've got to be kidding me.
523
00:23:03,348 --> 00:23:04,679
Yeah, do you know him?
524
00:23:04,750 --> 00:23:08,049
No, but Sid told me all about him.
He's dangerous.
525
00:23:08,153 --> 00:23:09,984
You're telling me he's here,
in the studio?
526
00:23:10,555 --> 00:23:12,147
Do you know who called in his pass?
527
00:23:12,224 --> 00:23:15,387
No, but I can find out. Follow me.
528
00:23:23,535 --> 00:23:24,627
Um...
529
00:23:24,703 --> 00:23:26,000
Can I help you?
530
00:23:26,071 --> 00:23:29,666
Oh, no, it's fine.
You just have a very bizarre gait.
531
00:23:29,775 --> 00:23:31,106
Um, I'm sorry, what?
532
00:23:31,176 --> 00:23:33,371
I'm sorry, what? Nailed it.
533
00:23:37,949 --> 00:23:41,885
Castle, please tell me
I don't move like that. I mean, do I?
534
00:23:45,290 --> 00:23:46,655
Is this a trick question?
535
00:23:46,725 --> 00:23:49,694
What answer is not gonna have me
sleeping on the couch tonight?
536
00:23:52,597 --> 00:23:56,966
Chad, find out who called in a day pass
for a Kurt Van Zant.
537
00:23:57,469 --> 00:23:58,868
You're looking at him, sir.
538
00:23:58,937 --> 00:24:01,770
Wait a minute.
You called in the pass? Why?
539
00:24:01,873 --> 00:24:03,898
I was told to. By Mr. Valentine.
540
00:24:03,975 --> 00:24:05,909
- Danny Valentine?
- Danny Valentine?
541
00:24:08,713 --> 00:24:13,150
Oh, I knew it. That smug, no-talent
playboy is up to his neck in this.
542
00:24:13,752 --> 00:24:17,950
Hey! Hey! Hey, help! Help!
He's gonna kill me!
543
00:24:18,056 --> 00:24:19,114
Hey, help!
544
00:24:19,224 --> 00:24:20,555
- NYPD!
- Help!
545
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:22,593
Help!
546
00:24:22,661 --> 00:24:23,719
Let him go!
547
00:24:23,795 --> 00:24:24,955
What? No!
548
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:29,725
Pull him in, Van Zant. Now.
549
00:24:29,801 --> 00:24:31,632
Hey, lady, relax.
550
00:24:34,172 --> 00:24:35,935
Come on, let me see your hands.
551
00:24:40,812 --> 00:24:43,474
Thanks. Guy's a psychopath!
552
00:24:43,582 --> 00:24:45,243
Then why did you give him a pass
to get on?
553
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:46,807
He left a note at my hotel.
554
00:24:46,918 --> 00:24:48,647
He said he had information
about Sid's murder.
555
00:24:48,753 --> 00:24:50,118
You're saying you don't know this man?
556
00:24:50,188 --> 00:24:51,382
I never met him before today.
557
00:24:51,456 --> 00:24:53,924
Listen, this whole thing
is a big misunderstanding.
558
00:24:53,992 --> 00:24:55,960
I'm sure it is. Come on.
559
00:24:58,263 --> 00:24:59,958
So what information did he have
about Sid's murder?
560
00:25:00,031 --> 00:25:02,124
Nothing! This was a shakedown.
561
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,634
He claimed Sid owed him money
for Saturday Night Tonight.
562
00:25:04,703 --> 00:25:07,900
But since Sid didn't pay, he wanted me
to sign over my shares of the show.
563
00:25:07,973 --> 00:25:09,600
You own a piece of the show?
564
00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:11,005
5%.
565
00:25:11,843 --> 00:25:14,471
Sid needed
a celebrity "get" for the pilot,
566
00:25:14,546 --> 00:25:17,379
so he gave me a piece of the back end.
It was the best deal of my life.
567
00:25:18,383 --> 00:25:19,941
So, Van Zant wanted his cut,
568
00:25:20,018 --> 00:25:22,350
but with Sid dead,
his only option was to come after yours.
569
00:25:22,454 --> 00:25:24,820
I refused. I said,
"Hey, that's show business, baby."
570
00:25:24,890 --> 00:25:27,757
But that's when he started
shoving me out the window.
571
00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:30,727
Thirty-five years in Folsom.
572
00:25:30,795 --> 00:25:33,559
That's a long time to hold a grudge,
Mr. Van Zant.
573
00:25:33,632 --> 00:25:36,294
Lady, I didn't kill Sid.
574
00:25:36,368 --> 00:25:40,065
And yet, you were seen fleeing the alley
where those shots were fired.
575
00:25:40,138 --> 00:25:44,165
It's not hard to imagine that you would
follow Sid and finish off the job.
576
00:25:44,242 --> 00:25:47,973
Look. You got this all wrong.
577
00:25:48,046 --> 00:25:50,571
When I got paroled,
I went straight to Sid.
578
00:25:50,682 --> 00:25:52,582
We had it out, and he apologized.
579
00:25:52,684 --> 00:25:54,242
Except now he's dead.
580
00:25:54,352 --> 00:25:55,444
Why would I move on him?
581
00:25:55,820 --> 00:25:58,254
He agreed to give me
a major chunk of change
582
00:25:58,356 --> 00:26:01,257
of an upcoming sale of shares
to some equity group.
583
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,451
So, we were good.
584
00:26:02,527 --> 00:26:04,688
That doesn't square
with you shooting at him in the alley.
585
00:26:04,763 --> 00:26:06,822
That wasn't me. I swear!
586
00:26:06,898 --> 00:26:09,366
If it wasn't you, then who was it?
587
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:11,493
I don't know.
588
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:13,162
Sid called me
589
00:26:13,238 --> 00:26:16,105
and told me the paperwork
for my stake in the show was ready,
590
00:26:16,207 --> 00:26:19,904
but he wouldn't sign off
unless I brought him something.
591
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:23,373
Okay, fine, I'll play along.
592
00:26:25,450 --> 00:26:27,611
What did Sid want you to bring?
593
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:30,449
An unregistered gun.
594
00:26:30,555 --> 00:26:32,216
Why would Sid want a gun?
595
00:26:32,290 --> 00:26:34,622
Wait, no.
Let me guess, he didn't tell you.
596
00:26:34,726 --> 00:26:36,023
It's true.
597
00:26:36,094 --> 00:26:39,894
He just told me to meet him
near that alley at 11:30. So I did.
598
00:26:39,965 --> 00:26:41,626
I gave him a.38 Special
599
00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:45,464
and he told me I could pick up
the signed papers in the morning.
600
00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:46,867
And then he told me
I should take a hike.
601
00:26:46,938 --> 00:26:47,962
But you didn't.
602
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:52,533
Well. A man asks for a gun,
he's looking to dance with danger.
603
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:55,079
I thought it wise
to protect my investment.
604
00:26:55,146 --> 00:26:58,274
So you're saying that you stuck around
just to see what would happen?
605
00:26:58,883 --> 00:27:02,319
Yep. Saw Sid go down the alley
and hide in a doorway.
606
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:06,216
Twenty minutes go by,
then some dude in a mask shows up.
607
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:09,089
Opens the dumpster,
pulls out a green duffel bag.
608
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,855
And what was in the duffel bag?
609
00:27:10,929 --> 00:27:12,055
Hell if I know.
610
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:13,825
But that's when Sid jumps out
with the gun,
611
00:27:13,932 --> 00:27:18,062
screaming, "You got what you wanted,
now where is she?"
612
00:27:18,570 --> 00:27:19,730
Who is "she"?
613
00:27:19,804 --> 00:27:21,032
I have no idea.
614
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:23,165
But the masked man
got the drop on Sid.
615
00:27:23,274 --> 00:27:25,003
They wrestled for the gun, and then...
616
00:27:26,177 --> 00:27:27,735
Shots go off in the air.
617
00:27:27,812 --> 00:27:30,246
You know what?
If you were protecting your investment,
618
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:32,112
then why didn't you help him out?
619
00:27:32,183 --> 00:27:33,411
Well, Sid ran off.
620
00:27:33,485 --> 00:27:35,282
And the guy in the mask
wasn't giving chase,
621
00:27:35,353 --> 00:27:37,617
so I figured, well, I'm on parole,
622
00:27:37,689 --> 00:27:40,089
I need to bug out
before the cops show up.
623
00:27:41,159 --> 00:27:42,251
And that's all you did?
624
00:27:42,327 --> 00:27:44,625
I drove to Sid's building
to see if I could catch him
625
00:27:44,696 --> 00:27:47,096
and ask him
what the hell he got me into!
626
00:27:47,165 --> 00:27:48,689
But he never showed up.
627
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,200
Next thing I know, he's dead.
628
00:27:51,302 --> 00:27:52,860
I think he's telling the truth.
629
00:27:52,971 --> 00:27:54,529
Security video
outside of Sid's apartment
630
00:27:54,639 --> 00:27:57,335
shows Van Zant
waiting out front, in his car,
631
00:27:57,442 --> 00:27:59,239
from 12:30 a.m. To 3:30 in the morning.
632
00:27:59,310 --> 00:28:00,971
That's on the other side of town
from the studio.
633
00:28:01,046 --> 00:28:02,308
Yeah, Van Zant couldn't have done it.
634
00:28:02,380 --> 00:28:05,543
Okay, that dumpster that you searched.
There was no duffel bag?
635
00:28:05,650 --> 00:28:07,015
The guy in the mask must've taken it.
636
00:28:07,118 --> 00:28:09,712
Which means that Sid must've been
the guy who dropped it off.
637
00:28:09,821 --> 00:28:11,379
This had to be the deal
that Sid was talking about.
638
00:28:11,489 --> 00:28:13,047
And that duffel bag was the payoff.
639
00:28:13,124 --> 00:28:14,455
Yeah, it sure was.
640
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:16,187
I spoke with the business manager.
641
00:28:16,294 --> 00:28:18,558
He just discovered
that on the day he was murdered,
642
00:28:18,663 --> 00:28:20,130
Sid made a huge bank withdrawal.
643
00:28:20,198 --> 00:28:21,290
How huge?
644
00:28:21,366 --> 00:28:22,890
$4 million in non-sequential bills.
645
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:24,093
Non-sequential bills?
646
00:28:24,169 --> 00:28:25,898
You guys,
this was a ransom gone wrong.
647
00:28:25,970 --> 00:28:29,804
That's why Sid asked, "Where is she?"
Some woman in his life was kidnapped.
648
00:28:29,874 --> 00:28:30,966
Yeah, but who?
649
00:28:31,042 --> 00:28:32,270
That's what we gotta find out.
650
00:28:32,343 --> 00:28:35,141
'Cause whoever took her
might be our killer.
651
00:28:37,248 --> 00:28:39,375
The cast and crew
of Saturday Night Tonight
652
00:28:39,484 --> 00:28:41,975
are all at the studio, no one is missing.
653
00:28:42,053 --> 00:28:45,648
So we've covered Sid's wife, his family,
his friends, and now his job.
654
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:47,157
Everyone's accounted for.
655
00:28:47,225 --> 00:28:51,252
Uh, actually, not everyone.
Evelyn Ross, Sid's first wife.
656
00:28:51,329 --> 00:28:52,353
She's missing?
657
00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:53,829
Well, I followed up
with Sid's son,
658
00:28:53,898 --> 00:28:56,526
and he said that she hadn't
returned any of his phone calls.
659
00:28:56,601 --> 00:28:58,364
So I spoke with her doorman.
660
00:28:58,436 --> 00:29:00,927
He said Evelyn went on
her usual 6:00 a.m. Run two days ago,
661
00:29:01,005 --> 00:29:03,337
and he hasn't seen her since.
She's gotta be our kidnap victim.
662
00:29:03,408 --> 00:29:04,807
Yes, and I was able to
ping her cell phone.
663
00:29:04,876 --> 00:29:06,207
- Yes, and.
- I wasn't doing that.
664
00:29:06,277 --> 00:29:07,437
No, you did it just now.
665
00:29:07,512 --> 00:29:09,002
Anyway, uniforms found the phone
666
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,241
dumped in a trash can
near a bodega in the Bronx.
667
00:29:11,349 --> 00:29:13,249
Probably tossed there
by her kidnapper.
668
00:29:13,351 --> 00:29:14,477
Something's not right here.
669
00:29:14,552 --> 00:29:16,281
Starting with our victim's behavior.
670
00:29:16,354 --> 00:29:18,288
You're Sid,
your ex-wife gets kidnapped,
671
00:29:18,389 --> 00:29:19,413
the deal in the alley to get her back
672
00:29:19,491 --> 00:29:20,480
goes south.
673
00:29:20,558 --> 00:29:22,321
At that point,
why wouldn't you go to the police?
674
00:29:22,393 --> 00:29:23,485
Why do you go back to your office?
675
00:29:23,561 --> 00:29:25,791
Well, I'll circle back with Sid's office,
see what I can find out.
676
00:29:25,897 --> 00:29:28,422
Yo, unis just arrived
with Evelyn's phone.
677
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,968
This is Evelyn's cloud account.
678
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:32,434
It's synced to her cell phone.
679
00:29:32,537 --> 00:29:34,402
Map My Jog. That's a fitness app.
Can you click on it?
680
00:29:34,472 --> 00:29:35,530
Mmm-hmm.
681
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:37,074
Looks like it's been
running this whole time.
682
00:29:37,809 --> 00:29:39,834
I've seen this app before.
683
00:29:39,911 --> 00:29:42,607
They use GPS to calculate
a jogger's distance and pace,
684
00:29:42,714 --> 00:29:44,306
and most importantly, their route.
685
00:29:44,415 --> 00:29:46,212
Can you replay Evelyn's last path?
686
00:29:48,219 --> 00:29:49,948
That's her leaving her building.
687
00:29:50,054 --> 00:29:52,614
Okay, so she jogged to the park.
688
00:29:52,991 --> 00:29:55,357
Wait.
Is this when she got kidnapped?
689
00:29:55,426 --> 00:29:56,950
It's gotta be.
She's moving at 30 miles an hour.
690
00:29:57,061 --> 00:29:58,494
She had to have been in a vehicle.
691
00:29:58,596 --> 00:29:59,722
Yeah.
692
00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:01,925
Can you fast forward, so that
we can see where she ended up?
693
00:30:03,067 --> 00:30:04,659
So she was taken up to the Bronx.
694
00:30:08,406 --> 00:30:10,670
Okay, looks like she stopped
at this building.
695
00:30:11,176 --> 00:30:13,667
Evelyn might still be in that building.
What do we know about that place?
696
00:30:13,778 --> 00:30:15,769
- I don't know, we'll find out.
- Okay.
697
00:30:17,482 --> 00:30:19,245
Hey, Ryan,
you find anything in Sid's office?
698
00:30:19,317 --> 00:30:21,649
Nah, just paperwork and spreadsheets.
699
00:30:21,753 --> 00:30:23,983
So, nothing that speaks
to a possible kidnapping?
700
00:30:24,088 --> 00:30:25,680
Pretty straightforward stuff.
701
00:30:25,790 --> 00:30:28,850
But I'll bring it in so we can go through it
with a fine-tooth comb.
702
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,086
Beckett, we got something.
703
00:30:30,161 --> 00:30:31,355
Okay, Ryan, I gotta go.
704
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:34,799
That building where Evelyn
was taken is an abandoned warehouse.
705
00:30:34,866 --> 00:30:36,595
It's the ideal location
to hold someone hostage.
706
00:30:38,503 --> 00:30:39,800
NYPD!
707
00:30:40,205 --> 00:30:41,433
Go, go, go!
708
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:46,166
There. Over there.
709
00:30:46,277 --> 00:30:48,006
Over here! Kick it!
710
00:30:52,483 --> 00:30:54,678
Evelyn, we're the police.
711
00:30:54,786 --> 00:30:56,344
You're safe now.
712
00:30:58,156 --> 00:30:59,817
Oh, God.
713
00:31:01,826 --> 00:31:03,521
I had just stopped to stretch,
714
00:31:04,629 --> 00:31:08,292
and the next thing I knew,
there was a rag over my mouth,
715
00:31:10,001 --> 00:31:12,663
and, um, when I came to,
I was in that warehouse.
716
00:31:15,006 --> 00:31:19,033
At any point in time did you get a look
at your kidnapper's face?
717
00:31:19,143 --> 00:31:20,235
He always wore a mask.
718
00:31:20,345 --> 00:31:23,280
It was like a ski mask, but shiny,
719
00:31:23,348 --> 00:31:26,579
with a silver zigzag up the middle,
720
00:31:26,684 --> 00:31:29,050
and a gold headband.
721
00:31:30,021 --> 00:31:31,648
A gold headband.
Are you sure about that?
722
00:31:31,723 --> 00:31:33,520
I'm pretty sure that's what it was.
723
00:31:33,992 --> 00:31:36,153
And, uh, how about his clothes?
724
00:31:36,227 --> 00:31:38,354
Do you remember anything
distinctive about them?
725
00:31:39,264 --> 00:31:40,253
No.
726
00:31:42,033 --> 00:31:44,001
But he wore a ring.
727
00:31:44,869 --> 00:31:48,896
A red and silver signet ring,
on his right hand.
728
00:31:49,007 --> 00:31:50,372
I remember that.
729
00:31:50,842 --> 00:31:54,243
Evelyn, back to the mask.
Did it look anything like this?
730
00:31:55,246 --> 00:31:57,237
Yes! Exactly like that.
731
00:31:58,449 --> 00:32:00,041
Is that from Saturday Night Tonight?
732
00:32:00,118 --> 00:32:02,348
It's from an obscure sketch
they did two years ago
733
00:32:02,420 --> 00:32:04,752
called Lucha Libre Brunch Buffet.
734
00:32:04,856 --> 00:32:08,383
So our kidnapper had access to the
props and wardrobe room at the studio.
735
00:32:08,459 --> 00:32:10,086
This was an inside job.
736
00:32:10,194 --> 00:32:12,162
What do you mean,
"A banana sandwich"?
737
00:32:13,398 --> 00:32:15,889
Carly! Carly Rae! Carly Rae Jepsen!
738
00:32:15,967 --> 00:32:18,800
I'm Rick!
I'm Rick, this is Kate, we're huge fans.
739
00:32:18,903 --> 00:32:20,370
Oh, thanks, that means a lot to me.
740
00:32:20,438 --> 00:32:22,429
So nice to meet you.
Um, Castle, we really need to...
741
00:32:22,540 --> 00:32:25,475
Yeah. Carly, quick question.
That one song, Call Me Maybe,
742
00:32:25,576 --> 00:32:26,702
what did you mean by the lyric...
743
00:32:26,778 --> 00:32:28,871
Carly? Two minutes.
744
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:30,812
Oh... I'm so sorry.
I have to go perform this song.
745
00:32:30,915 --> 00:32:33,110
Oh, that's cool.
We gotta go solve a murder, so...
746
00:32:33,217 --> 00:32:34,241
- Okay.
- Nice to meet you!
747
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:35,980
- Okay, let's go.
- Bye!
748
00:32:38,323 --> 00:32:42,419
Excuse me. Someone recently
checked out one of these masks.
749
00:32:42,493 --> 00:32:43,653
And we need to know who.
750
00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:45,525
Now?
We're in the middle of a live show.
751
00:32:45,596 --> 00:32:47,461
It was from
the Lucha Libre Brunch Buffet sketch.
752
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,564
Yeah, that sketch sucked.
We haven't used those masks in years.
753
00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:53,069
Well, is there a record
of someone signing it out?
754
00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:55,901
Probably not, but I can check.
Could you give me, like, five minutes?
755
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:56,998
Okay. We'll be back.
756
00:32:58,576 --> 00:33:00,271
We are so close.
757
00:33:01,479 --> 00:33:05,575
Yeah, but who would be so brazen,
or so naive,
758
00:33:05,650 --> 00:33:09,017
as to use a mask from the show
to perpetrate a kidnapping?
759
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,145
Ladies and gentlemen,
performing her hit single,
760
00:33:11,255 --> 00:33:14,019
I Really Like You, Carly Rae Jepsen!
761
00:33:18,029 --> 00:33:19,519
This is for you, Sid.
762
00:34:23,327 --> 00:34:24,919
Nice moves.
763
00:34:25,763 --> 00:34:26,889
Hey, you guys want a better seat?
764
00:34:26,998 --> 00:34:29,091
There's nothing like
watching the show from house seats.
765
00:34:29,167 --> 00:34:32,534
Hey, it's cool.
You can stay here if you like.
766
00:34:32,603 --> 00:34:34,571
Beckett, check out his ring.
767
00:34:36,407 --> 00:34:38,534
Just like Evelyn described.
768
00:34:38,609 --> 00:34:40,668
Hey, Chad,
we've got a house seat for you.
769
00:34:40,745 --> 00:34:42,838
Down at the 12th Precinct. Let's go.
770
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:50,220
So, Chad, tell us. How long have
you been a page with SN T?
771
00:34:50,288 --> 00:34:52,756
Uh, five incredible years. Why?
772
00:34:52,857 --> 00:34:55,849
Don't most pages quit if they don't
get promoted after a year or two?
773
00:34:56,461 --> 00:34:59,760
Oh, for me it's worth the wait.
Any day now!
774
00:34:59,864 --> 00:35:01,456
Yeah, sorry, I don't buy it.
775
00:35:02,433 --> 00:35:04,025
I think you got tired of waiting.
776
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:06,627
And after so many years,
you wanted payback.
777
00:35:06,737 --> 00:35:08,898
Payback?
What do you mean, "payback"?
778
00:35:08,973 --> 00:35:11,601
I'm talking about
the $4 million dollar kind.
779
00:35:11,709 --> 00:35:14,075
You kidnapped Sid's ex-wife.
780
00:35:15,213 --> 00:35:16,305
Wait, what?
781
00:35:16,380 --> 00:35:18,109
It was a pretty clever plan.
782
00:35:18,216 --> 00:35:21,708
All except for that one tiny detail
that you could not have foreseen.
783
00:35:21,786 --> 00:35:24,254
Sid confronting you at the money drop.
784
00:35:25,156 --> 00:35:27,750
He recognized your ring, didn't he?
785
00:35:27,992 --> 00:35:32,258
That was when you realized
your only way out was to kill him.
786
00:35:33,731 --> 00:35:35,665
You think I killed Mr. Ross?
787
00:35:35,766 --> 00:35:37,893
You can drop the act,
we know what you did.
788
00:35:37,969 --> 00:35:39,493
Even Evelyn saw your ring.
789
00:35:39,604 --> 00:35:43,472
My... No, I bought
this ring at the SN T gift shop.
790
00:35:43,574 --> 00:35:44,734
Lots of people have it.
791
00:35:44,809 --> 00:35:47,972
Yeah, except lots of people
don't have evidence in their apartments.
792
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,015
What are you talking about?
I didn't do anything!
793
00:35:52,116 --> 00:35:54,778
So then why don't you explain
how detectives found a.38 revolver
794
00:35:54,852 --> 00:35:58,083
and a Lucha Libre mask
under your bed.
795
00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:00,482
Um...
796
00:36:01,792 --> 00:36:05,319
Must've been an evil tooth fairy
who put it there, 'cause it wasn't me!
797
00:36:07,431 --> 00:36:09,661
Please, I didn't do this.
798
00:36:09,767 --> 00:36:12,429
All right, then where were you
the night that Sid was murdered?
799
00:36:12,503 --> 00:36:13,492
At home.
800
00:36:13,571 --> 00:36:15,471
Can anyone verify that?
801
00:36:17,508 --> 00:36:18,532
No.
802
00:36:22,547 --> 00:36:25,812
Sid was a tough S OB,
but he loved his job,
803
00:36:25,883 --> 00:36:28,477
and his job was
to get us to make America laugh.
804
00:36:28,553 --> 00:36:31,681
And tonight we honor him
by doing just that.
805
00:36:31,789 --> 00:36:33,313
Chad can't be the killer, can he?
806
00:36:33,391 --> 00:36:36,155
Well, it doesn't feel right.
But there is an abundance of evidence.
807
00:36:36,227 --> 00:36:37,319
Yeah, it's too abundant.
808
00:36:37,395 --> 00:36:40,853
The mask, the gun, the ring.
It's just too perfect.
809
00:36:40,965 --> 00:36:42,364
So, what, you think he was framed?
810
00:36:43,501 --> 00:36:44,559
I think there's more to this story.
811
00:36:44,669 --> 00:36:45,966
You know, it's possible
812
00:36:46,037 --> 00:36:48,665
that the killer wanted Evelyn
to see the mask and the ring.
813
00:36:48,739 --> 00:36:50,206
Chad is the perfect fall guy.
814
00:36:50,308 --> 00:36:53,243
Okay, but if Chad didn't do it,
then who did?
815
00:36:53,344 --> 00:36:55,471
Uh, I may have a line on that.
816
00:36:55,546 --> 00:36:59,346
I figured out what Sid was doing
in his office with those spreadsheets.
817
00:36:59,417 --> 00:37:01,351
He was going over
his corporate bank accounts.
818
00:37:01,886 --> 00:37:03,751
Sid went from
paying a kidnapper at gunpoint
819
00:37:03,854 --> 00:37:05,651
to checking his corporate financials?
820
00:37:05,723 --> 00:37:07,520
That's weird.
821
00:37:07,592 --> 00:37:09,924
That's not the only thing that's weird.
822
00:37:10,027 --> 00:37:12,757
Check out those expenses
he highlighted.
823
00:37:14,332 --> 00:37:17,165
Oh, these are weird. Because?
824
00:37:17,235 --> 00:37:19,066
Because I called the bank
in the Cayman Islands.
825
00:37:19,170 --> 00:37:20,728
All of those expenses are bogus.
826
00:37:21,172 --> 00:37:24,573
So, someone with access at
Sid's company was embezzling money.
827
00:37:24,675 --> 00:37:28,406
Almost $4 million,
the exact amount of the ransom.
828
00:37:28,512 --> 00:37:29,536
Wait, that's it!
829
00:37:29,614 --> 00:37:32,879
The embezzler was trying to replace
the money he'd stolen from Sid.
830
00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:35,180
- I know who the killer is!
- I know who the killer is!
831
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:38,222
Nice. In fairness, though,
I walked you right through that.
832
00:37:41,459 --> 00:37:43,120
Places for the final sketch!
833
00:37:43,194 --> 00:37:45,389
Places for the final sketch!
834
00:37:57,708 --> 00:37:59,938
Oh. Hi. Is everything all right?
835
00:38:00,044 --> 00:38:02,638
Yes. In fact we have some good news.
836
00:38:02,747 --> 00:38:04,715
Great, let's talk after the show.
837
00:38:04,782 --> 00:38:07,717
Actually, show's already over.
At least for you.
838
00:38:07,785 --> 00:38:08,877
Excuse me?
839
00:38:08,953 --> 00:38:11,547
Drop the act, Mr. Vogel.
We know that you killed Sid.
840
00:38:12,657 --> 00:38:13,715
That's insane.
841
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:14,815
Not really,
842
00:38:14,925 --> 00:38:18,486
not considering the partial sale
of Sid's company was on the horizon.
843
00:38:18,596 --> 00:38:21,326
A sale that would mean
a review of the company's books.
844
00:38:21,432 --> 00:38:23,798
Which would expose the $4 million
that you embezzled.
845
00:38:23,901 --> 00:38:26,267
What? Are you out of your mind?
846
00:38:26,337 --> 00:38:27,964
No, but you must've been.
847
00:38:28,072 --> 00:38:29,937
Faced with the inevitability
of being caught,
848
00:38:30,007 --> 00:38:31,907
you had to do something.
849
00:38:31,976 --> 00:38:34,342
So you kidnapped
and ransomed Evelyn
850
00:38:34,445 --> 00:38:36,811
in order to reimburse
the money you'd stolen.
851
00:38:36,914 --> 00:38:40,350
A duffel bag full of cash
would be easy to deposit
852
00:38:40,451 --> 00:38:43,852
in the company's Cayman Island bank,
where no questions are asked.
853
00:38:43,954 --> 00:38:47,151
After that, all you'd have to do
is falsify a few bank statements
854
00:38:47,258 --> 00:38:48,520
and you'd be in the clear.
855
00:38:48,626 --> 00:38:50,958
How dare you? This is absurd!
856
00:38:51,028 --> 00:38:52,757
We followed the money, Gene.
857
00:38:52,830 --> 00:38:56,322
You siphoned the $4 million
to invest in a start-up company.
858
00:38:56,434 --> 00:38:59,631
And when that company went belly-up,
you could not get your money back.
859
00:38:59,704 --> 00:39:01,672
Sid must've recognized you at the drop.
860
00:39:01,772 --> 00:39:05,367
But he didn't confront you until after
he discovered the faked expenses.
861
00:39:06,344 --> 00:39:09,040
So you killed him?
Gene, how could you?
862
00:39:09,146 --> 00:39:10,841
No! These are...
863
00:39:10,948 --> 00:39:13,041
These are baseless accusations.
They can't prove anything.
864
00:39:13,150 --> 00:39:14,174
Actually, we can.
865
00:39:14,285 --> 00:39:15,343
We went through your financials
866
00:39:15,453 --> 00:39:18,786
and found millions in undeclared
deposits from Sid's company.
867
00:39:18,856 --> 00:39:23,691
Oh, by the way, nice touch wearing
the mask and SN T ring that Chad has.
868
00:39:23,794 --> 00:39:25,489
Only problem with your frame job?
869
00:39:25,563 --> 00:39:28,054
You were witnessed hanging around
outside his apartment this afternoon
870
00:39:28,165 --> 00:39:29,860
when you planted them.
871
00:39:30,434 --> 00:39:31,628
Oops.
872
00:39:31,702 --> 00:39:32,896
Gene Vogel, you're under arrest for...
873
00:39:33,838 --> 00:39:36,033
Model cop down! I broke a heel!
874
00:39:36,140 --> 00:39:37,129
Damn it!
875
00:39:40,144 --> 00:39:43,307
Gene Vogel, you're under arrest
for kidnapping and murder.
876
00:40:04,034 --> 00:40:07,231
Beckett, that was a badass takedown
tonight on that show.
877
00:40:07,338 --> 00:40:09,238
It was strong, yet sexy.
878
00:40:09,340 --> 00:40:11,103
Yeah, Beckett,
the camera really loves you.
879
00:40:11,208 --> 00:40:12,937
You guys, shut up, both of you.
880
00:40:13,043 --> 00:40:15,102
What about me, guys? How did I look?
881
00:40:15,212 --> 00:40:17,043
Like you should stick to writing.
882
00:40:17,114 --> 00:40:19,344
Yeah, I think so.
883
00:40:19,417 --> 00:40:22,250
There's only one star
in this family, kiddo.
884
00:40:22,353 --> 00:40:24,412
Mother, how was
your preview performance?
885
00:40:24,522 --> 00:40:26,888
Well, check out the, uh, Twitter-verse,
as they say.
886
00:40:26,957 --> 00:40:28,288
All righty.
887
00:40:30,428 --> 00:40:32,123
"Martha Rodgers is a revelation."
888
00:40:33,364 --> 00:40:36,561
"Martha Rodgers
gives a masterful performance."
889
00:40:36,634 --> 00:40:39,535
"A display of why theater
is still a relevant art form."
890
00:40:40,538 --> 00:40:42,631
"Martha Rodgers is amazeballs!"
891
00:40:42,740 --> 00:40:43,764
Yeah, that, about that.
892
00:40:43,874 --> 00:40:45,239
Is that amazeballs a good thing?
Because...
893
00:40:45,309 --> 00:40:47,368
It sure is. Congratulations.
Congratulations!
894
00:40:47,445 --> 00:40:49,538
Okay! Great! Then we can celebrate!
895
00:40:49,613 --> 00:40:52,741
I brought some champagne
for everybody! If you'll open it.
896
00:40:52,817 --> 00:40:53,806
Sure.
897
00:40:53,884 --> 00:40:54,908
Do we have some glasses?
898
00:40:54,985 --> 00:40:57,215
Well, we don't do
a lot of entertaining here, Martha.
899
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:58,915
But... Ta-da!
900
00:40:58,989 --> 00:41:00,422
- Ah-ha!
- Here you go.
901
00:41:00,624 --> 00:41:03,218
That'll work.
Thank you, thank you.
902
00:41:03,294 --> 00:41:04,556
- May I?
- Thank you.
903
00:41:05,262 --> 00:41:07,787
Perfect. Thank you, Detective Ryan.
904
00:41:07,898 --> 00:41:09,297
Thank you.
905
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,834
Ladies and gentlemen,
to my amazeballs mother.
906
00:41:12,436 --> 00:41:14,996
The best second act on Broadway!
907
00:41:16,974 --> 00:41:18,236
- Cheers.
- Cheers!
908
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:19,333
Well done.
909
00:41:20,244 --> 00:41:22,109
Hear, hear! Congratulations.
910
00:41:25,500 --> 00:41:33,500
