You tell me, kiddo.

00:01:03,196 --> 00:01:06,688
Last time we were together,
you and Richard were...

00:01:06,766 --> 00:01:07,755
(EXCLAIMS) You know.
13
00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:09,698
And now, just a few short weeks later,
14
00:01:09,769 --> 00:01:12,431
you and Richard are, uh...
(SIGHS) You know?
15
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:14,700
It's complicated.
16
00:01:14,774 --> 00:01:18,266
Mmm. So were his last two divorces.
17
00:01:18,378 --> 00:01:19,743
Ah, God, Martha,
we're not getting a divorce.
18
00:01:19,846 --> 00:01:21,507
Well, call me old-fashioned,
19
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:24,175
but don't married couples live together?
20
00:01:24,250 --> 00:01:26,514
Yes, but it gets complicated, and I'm...
21
00:01:26,586 --> 00:01:28,076
I'm working through a few things.
22
00:01:28,188 --> 00:01:30,850
Richard told me that
right before he declared
23
00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:32,858
he was going to win you back.
24
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:34,791
Look, as you know,
25
00:01:34,894 --> 00:01:36,759
my son is a lot of things,
26
00:01:36,863 --> 00:01:41,732
some of them good,
some of them not so good.
27
00:01:41,801 --> 00:01:44,531
But he is someone
28
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:46,799
you can always count on.
29
00:01:47,574 --> 00:01:49,940

Uh. Yeah.

All right, I'll have detectives respond.

there's a murder, and...

Katherine, darling.

00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:11,886
Look, be honest with yourself.

00:02:12,866 --> 00:02:14,891

the second kid would be cheaper,

but Jenny, she wants all new stuff.
41
00:02:26,279 --> 00:02:29,043
You should see the baby stroller
that she picked out.
42
00:02:29,115 --> 00:02:31,583
Seriously, I might have to get
a second full-time job.
43
00:02:31,684 --> 00:02:34,551
Or, you can make more money
from your first job.
44
00:02:34,621 --> 00:02:35,747
What? Like overtime?
45
00:02:35,855 --> 00:02:36,879
No. Promotion.

Sergeant's exam is in a week.
Let's take it.
47
00:02:39,092 --> 00:02:40,252
- A week?
- Yeah.

00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,691
When are we gonna have
time to study?
49
00:02:41,761 --> 00:02:43,558
How hard can it be?
Sergeant Wilkie passed,
50
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:45,723
and he's, like, a chromosome
away from a Neanderthal.
51
00:02:45,798 --> 00:02:47,129
Maybe you're right.
52
00:02:47,233 --> 00:02:49,201
Okay, I'll call One PP, sign us both up.
53
00:02:57,710 --> 00:02:58,699
Good morning.
54
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:01,610
Allow me the pleasure
of introducing you
55
00:03:01,681 --> 00:03:04,047
to Dave Johnson, 52,
56
00:03:04,150 --> 00:03:05,174
single GSW to the sternum.

00:03:05,318 --> 00:03:07,183

59
00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:11,484
What? Did you guys rehearse that?
60
00:03:11,558 --> 00:03:13,287
Former altar boys.
61
00:03:13,359 --> 00:03:16,226
Yeah, probably an involuntary reflex
or something.
62
00:03:16,329 --> 00:03:20,129
Wound suggests he was shot between
8:00 and 11:00 p.m. Last night.
63
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,135
Kind of late for a church
to be open to the public, isn't it?
64
00:03:23,203 --> 00:03:26,832
It wasn't. The sisters of the parish said
the place was locked at 6:00,
65
00:03:26,906 --> 00:03:29,807
but discovered this morning
that the front door had been jimmied.
66
00:03:29,876 --> 00:03:32,743
So what, Dave and the killer
broke in together?
67
00:03:32,845 --> 00:03:36,474
Doubt it. Evidence shows that the killer
snuck in and shot Dave from behind
68
00:03:36,549 --> 00:03:39,484
what was a decorative
stained glass window for prayer.

did you know Dave Johnson?
73
00:03:49,329 --> 00:03:53,595
Oh. Yes. He was a faithful parishioner.
74
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:56,430
Do you have any idea what Dave
was doing at the church last night?
75
00:03:56,536 --> 00:03:57,594
FATHER ARGUELLO: Not a clue.
76
00:03:57,704 --> 00:03:59,763
Perhaps his wife knows.
77
00:03:59,872 --> 00:04:02,568
Have you spoken to Wendy?
78
00:04:02,675 --> 00:04:04,165
No. We haven't notified her yet.
79
00:04:04,244 --> 00:04:05,905
But what can you tell us about Dave?
80
00:04:06,012 --> 00:04:07,707
Did he have any enemies?
81
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:09,338
Oh, no.
82
00:04:09,415 --> 00:04:10,939
He was a good man,
83
00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:13,177
a loving husband,
84
00:04:13,253 --> 00:04:15,949
and arguably one of the greatest...
85
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:18,246
Greatest what?
86
00:04:18,358 --> 00:04:21,953
Well, it's going to come out
sooner or later.
87
00:04:23,229 --> 00:04:27,757
Dave was one of the greatest
novelists of the last 50 years.
88
00:04:28,935 --> 00:04:32,302
Dave Johnson?
I've never heard of him, Father.
89
00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:36,637
That's because he wrote
under a pseudonym.
90
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:37,971
Dad, did you hear?
91
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:40,468
Dad?
92
00:04:40,580 --> 00:04:42,207
My pony. You can't pet it.
93
00:04:43,049 --> 00:04:44,073
Your pony?
94
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:46,415
What? Hey.
95
00:04:49,422 --> 00:04:50,411
What's up?
96
00:04:51,624 --> 00:04:53,091
P.J. Moffet's dead.
97
00:04:55,762 --> 00:04:59,755
P.J. Moffet
was one of my literary heroes.
98
00:05:00,266 --> 00:05:03,667
Mine, too. Remember, I wrote that paper
about him in eighth grade.
99
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:06,330
Every author dreams of writing
the great American novel,
100
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:08,669
but P.J. Moffet actually did it.
101
00:05:10,109 --> 00:05:11,974
On his first try, too.
102
00:05:12,078 --> 00:05:13,102
The Butcherbird's Song.
103
00:05:13,179 --> 00:05:15,773
And in 25 years,
he never wrote another word.
104
00:05:15,848 --> 00:05:18,316
Just one book,
then he disappeared from public life.
105
00:05:18,418 --> 00:05:20,648
According to Twitter, he was murdered
at Saint Mark's on Third.
106
00:05:20,753 --> 00:05:21,811
That's wonderful.
107
00:05:21,921 --> 00:05:23,821
Dad, a little respect for the dead.
108
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:26,448
Not wonderful that he was murdered,
wonderful where he was murdered.
109
00:05:26,526 --> 00:05:27,857
Saint Mark's,
110
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,325
that's in the jurisdiction
of the 12th Precinct.
111
00:05:29,429 --> 00:05:31,863
And I am an expert
on all things P.J. Moffet.
112
00:05:31,964 --> 00:05:33,192
So you're still going with
the "win Beckett back
113
00:05:33,299 --> 00:05:34,960
"by working homicides with her" plan?
114
00:05:35,034 --> 00:05:36,865
That's how I got her
to fall for me the first time.
115
00:05:36,969 --> 00:05:39,938
That, and when I kiss her,
I use the bottom of...
116
00:05:40,006 --> 00:05:41,598
Dad, when it comes to your sex life,
117
00:05:41,674 --> 00:05:43,869
how about we stick
with the after-school special version?
118
00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:46,334
That's fair.
119
00:05:46,446 --> 00:05:49,609
Okay, so what's going to be
your way into the case this time?
120
00:05:50,383 --> 00:05:54,217
Well, all I need is a... A client.
121
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,378
You guys, Lanie called.
122
00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:58,457
No usable prints from the crime scene,
and no hits off ballistics.
123
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:02,221
Yo, The Butcherbird's Song
is still a popular novel, right?
124
00:06:02,328 --> 00:06:03,522
I mean, it's 25 years old,
125
00:06:03,629 --> 00:06:05,824
but our victim should still be getting
huge royalty checks.
126
00:06:05,898 --> 00:06:07,957
Yeah. It's required reading
in most high schools.
127
00:06:08,034 --> 00:06:10,366
Then why was he living
in a one-bedroom apartment,
128
00:06:10,470 --> 00:06:12,665
and working as a janitor
for the past five years?
129
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:14,297
I'll call the publisher,
have them confirm who he is.
130
00:06:14,374 --> 00:06:15,705
CASTLE: No need.
131
00:06:16,876 --> 00:06:18,207
We can do that for you.
132
00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:21,407
Uh... (SIGHS)
133
00:06:21,647 --> 00:06:22,807
Castle, what are you doing here?
134
00:06:22,882 --> 00:06:27,046
Meet my client. This is Wendy Johnson,
wife of Dave Johnson,
135
00:06:27,153 --> 00:06:28,984
also known as famed novelist
P.J. Moffet.
136
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:30,955
We're here to make a statement.
137
00:06:31,023 --> 00:06:33,992
Well, we'll escort her
to Captain Beckett's office.
138
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:35,049
Thank you.
139
00:06:38,464 --> 00:06:39,863
Your client, Castle?
140
00:06:41,033 --> 00:06:42,967
Please don't tell me
you ambulance-chased this woman.
141
00:06:43,035 --> 00:06:45,230
Beckett, that is
an outrageous accusation.
142
00:06:45,338 --> 00:06:47,966
I, as a member
of the writing community,
143
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,634
merely went by her home
to offer my condolences.
144
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:52,678
Hmm. And I suppose you told her
that you're a PI
145
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:55,009
who just happens to have connections
with the NYPD.
146
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:57,049
The topic may have come up.
147
00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:59,050
You look gorgeous, by the way.
148
00:07:03,356 --> 00:07:05,017
Uh. We should go and talk to your client.
149
00:07:07,059 --> 00:07:08,822
WENDY: We'd only been married
for eight months.
150
00:07:08,895 --> 00:07:10,089
(CHUCKLES)
151
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:13,361
I felt like I'd known him my entire life.
152
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:19,700
Probably because I grew up
just loving that book.
153
00:07:20,606 --> 00:07:22,335
BECKETT: Uh. Yeah, about that,
Mrs. Johnson.
154
00:07:22,408 --> 00:07:26,606
Considering your husband's success,
why was he working as a janitor?
155
00:07:26,712 --> 00:07:28,509
Well, that was research for a new book.
156
00:07:29,215 --> 00:07:31,206
A second P.J. Moffet novel?
157
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:33,718
He was doing research
for over five years?
158
00:07:33,786 --> 00:07:35,253
- Mmm-hmm.
- Moffet was legendary
159
00:07:35,321 --> 00:07:39,451
for total immersion in his subject matter.
160
00:07:39,559 --> 00:07:41,390
Much like me with you.
161
00:07:42,428 --> 00:07:44,794
Did you know that
before writing a single word
162
00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:46,194
of The Butcherbird's Song,
163
00:07:46,265 --> 00:07:49,063
Moffet spent seven years
living as a drug-addicted Eskimo?
164
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:50,432
WENDY: It's true.
165
00:07:50,536 --> 00:07:53,562
He was extremely dedicated to his craft.
166
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:56,437
Even though he owns a ranch
in Wyoming,
167
00:07:56,542 --> 00:07:59,534
he insisted we live in Brooklyn
for authenticity.
168
00:08:00,379 --> 00:08:03,644
Why did he break
into Saint Mark's Church last night?
169
00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:04,943
Oh. I can only guess it was to pray.
170
00:08:05,551 --> 00:08:08,816
He'd been extremely troubled recently.
171
00:08:09,422 --> 00:08:10,719
Do you know about what?
172
00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:12,587
WENDY: I think it had
to be his research.
173
00:08:13,759 --> 00:08:16,455
When Dave left, he told me
he met with someone that morning,
174
00:08:16,562 --> 00:08:17,620
and things got heated.
175
00:08:17,730 --> 00:08:18,754
And who did he meet with?
176
00:08:18,831 --> 00:08:21,959
He didn't say.
Just that the man was dangerous.
177
00:08:22,602 --> 00:08:24,263
Well, what was his new book about?
178
00:08:24,971 --> 00:08:26,233
Um. The mafia.
179
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:33,445
Hey, where's Castle?
180
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:34,741
He took his client home.
181
00:08:35,348 --> 00:08:37,111
Remember, he doesn't work cases
with us anymore.
182
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:38,275
RYAN: Hey.
183
00:08:38,351 --> 00:08:40,819
So I found out
where our vic was yesterday morning.
184
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,014
According to his financials,
he took a cab ride to Brooklyn.
185
00:08:44,123 --> 00:08:45,647
- Where was he dropped off?
- This guy's house.
186
00:08:45,725 --> 00:08:47,124
Milton Cicero.
187
00:08:47,193 --> 00:08:48,751
Works in sanitation.
188
00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:50,352
Word is he's totally mobbed up.
189
00:08:50,463 --> 00:08:52,761
If our vic was doing
research for his book
190
00:08:52,832 --> 00:08:54,026
and he asked too many questions,
191
00:08:54,133 --> 00:08:56,829
Milton here might have gotten
suspicious and taken Dave out.
192
00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:01,432
Okay, he did come to my house.
193
00:09:01,507 --> 00:09:02,997
But I didn't kill him.
194
00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:04,703
I swear.
195
00:09:04,810 --> 00:09:06,937
- So, how do you know him?
- I don't.
196
00:09:07,013 --> 00:09:09,106
He just came over,
started asking me all these questions.
197
00:09:09,181 --> 00:09:10,375
About what?
198
00:09:10,449 --> 00:09:11,438
Union kickbacks.
199
00:09:11,517 --> 00:09:13,849
He wanted to know
where all the money comes from.
200
00:09:14,453 --> 00:09:17,889
Say, you two have any idea
who he really is?
201
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:20,788
- Yeah, he's P.J. Moffet, the novelist.
- Yeah.
202
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:21,952
(CHUCKLES)
203
00:09:22,028 --> 00:09:23,825
P.J. What? The what?
204
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:28,660
No, that is Jimmy "Two Guns" O'Malley.
205
00:09:30,503 --> 00:09:31,561
RYAN: Whoa. Wait. Uh...
206
00:09:32,471 --> 00:09:36,066
The Irish mobster who ratted out
his whole crew back in the '80s?
207
00:09:36,142 --> 00:09:37,131
Bingo.
208
00:09:37,209 --> 00:09:40,007
He starts telling me
all about witness protection,
209
00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:41,512
and how the Feds gave him
a new name,
210
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:42,912
Dave Johnson.
211
00:09:43,015 --> 00:09:47,418
Hold up. Doesn't the mob have a
contract out on Jimmy Two Guns' life?
212
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,181
Do they?
213
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:51,314
I wouldn't know anything about that.
214
00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:54,553
Milton, did you try
to collect on that reward?
215
00:09:55,227 --> 00:09:58,594
Don't tell me that you made a call
up to the mob in Boston.
216
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:03,868
I didn't not call them.
217
00:10:03,936 --> 00:10:06,063
Okay, bye-bye.
218
00:10:07,673 --> 00:10:11,109
So, I just got off the phone
with P.J. Moffet's publisher.
219
00:10:11,210 --> 00:10:13,508
Our author is still very much alive.
220
00:10:13,579 --> 00:10:16,946
Dave Johnson
was lying about who he was.
221
00:10:17,049 --> 00:10:18,073
RYAN: Yeah, we figured.
222
00:10:18,184 --> 00:10:21,745
So, Dave tells Milton
that he's Jimmy "Two Guns" O'Malley,
223
00:10:21,854 --> 00:10:24,516
and then Milton
rats him out to the Irish mob.
224
00:10:24,590 --> 00:10:26,251
Maybe our vic was a con man.
225
00:10:26,359 --> 00:10:28,884
And conning the wrong guy
got him killed.
226
00:10:38,137 --> 00:10:39,297
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
227
00:10:39,372 --> 00:10:40,396
Captain Beckett?
228
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:43,131
Hey. You heard back from the FBI?
229
00:10:43,242 --> 00:10:44,539
Yeah, it's looking more and more like
230
00:10:44,610 --> 00:10:46,703
the Irish mob are responsible
for Dave's murder.
231
00:10:46,779 --> 00:10:48,212
Meet Billy O'Rourke,
232
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:50,676
a suspected hitman from Southie.
233
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:53,048
Word on the street is
he landed at JFK yesterday afternoon.
234
00:10:53,119 --> 00:10:54,313
Is he still in town?
235
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:56,911
Well, as of two minutes ago, he hadn't
checked out of the Biltmore Hotel.
236
00:10:56,989 --> 00:10:58,149
Okay.
237
00:10:58,257 --> 00:10:59,485
Go find Espo and pick him up.
238
00:10:59,592 --> 00:11:00,650
Yeah.
239
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,557
- Ryan?
- Hmm?
240
00:11:02,628 --> 00:11:04,095
Be careful.
241
00:11:04,163 --> 00:11:05,630
You got it.
242
00:11:16,308 --> 00:11:17,832
Yeah.
243
00:11:18,844 --> 00:11:19,833
Okay.
244
00:11:19,945 --> 00:11:21,276
One, two...
245
00:11:21,414 --> 00:11:22,403
(DOOR OPENS)
246
00:11:25,818 --> 00:11:26,978
Is he in there?
247
00:11:28,654 --> 00:11:30,144
All right. Thanks. Get out of here, kid.
248
00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:36,785
CASTLE: So, she's telling me
she needs space.
249
00:11:36,862 --> 00:11:39,422
I'm saying that that's a cry for help.
250
00:11:39,498 --> 00:11:40,760
BILLY: Well, Ricky, I completely agree.
251
00:11:40,833 --> 00:11:41,857
Thank you.
252
00:11:41,934 --> 00:11:42,923
BILLY: Mmm-hmm.
253
00:11:43,169 --> 00:11:44,158
NYPD!
254
00:11:45,037 --> 00:11:47,369
Hey, guys!
How are... Are you hungry?
255
00:11:47,473 --> 00:11:48,963
BILLY: Oh, sorry,
256
00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:52,169
neither of us ordered pigs wrapped
in Kevlar. Get out.
257
00:11:52,278 --> 00:11:53,768
On your feet right now, O'Rourke.
258
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:57,508
Castle, how did you get here?
259
00:11:57,616 --> 00:11:59,516
When I gave Dave's wife a ride home,
260
00:11:59,618 --> 00:12:00,778
I saw a receipt from yesterday,
261
00:12:00,853 --> 00:12:02,787
a rush dry cleaning job
on Dave's jacket.
262
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:05,255
The bill was charged to this room.
How did you get here?
263
00:12:05,324 --> 00:12:06,313
The FBI.
264
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:09,657
Castle, this guy,
he's a hitman for the Irish mob.
265
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:11,629
No. Well, yes. Yes.
266
00:12:11,697 --> 00:12:14,632
But when you get to know him,
he's actually really a lovely person.
267
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:15,860
You know, he's a good listener.
268
00:12:15,968 --> 00:12:17,492
BILLY: I am.
CASTLE: Thank you for that.
269
00:12:17,570 --> 00:12:19,504
- Very hospitable...
- There you go.
270
00:12:19,572 --> 00:12:20,664
And he actually told me that Dave...
271
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:21,832
BILLY: Ricky, they're cops.
272
00:12:21,907 --> 00:12:23,067
Shut up.
273
00:12:23,175 --> 00:12:25,700
No, they're my cops, though.
These guys are okay. Just...
274
00:12:25,811 --> 00:12:27,745
Guys, Billy's not your killer.
275
00:12:27,847 --> 00:12:28,973
Oh. You know this how?
276
00:12:29,048 --> 00:12:30,572
Billy told me.
277
00:12:30,683 --> 00:12:32,241
Oh. Yeah.
278
00:12:32,351 --> 00:12:34,478
And did he also cross his heart
and hope to die?
279
00:12:34,553 --> 00:12:37,716
(SIGHS) Billy, tell them
what you told me.
280
00:12:38,324 --> 00:12:40,519
BILLY: Okay. Let's say, uh...
281
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:42,254
- Hypothetically...
- Hypothetically.
282
00:12:42,361 --> 00:12:44,693
I came to town
to whack Jimmy "Two Guns."
283
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:49,326
And, hypothetically,
I threw him in the trunk of my rental
284
00:12:49,401 --> 00:12:51,369
and drove him out to the marsh
by the Meadowlands.
285
00:12:51,437 --> 00:12:52,699
You know where that is.
286
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:55,332
- Only just before, hypothetically...
- Of course.
287
00:12:55,407 --> 00:12:56,601
...I could put a bullet through his brain,
288
00:12:56,709 --> 00:12:59,940
I realize the guy doesn't look anything
like Jimmy "Two Guns."
289
00:13:00,045 --> 00:13:02,013
Right? So, Dave explains
290
00:13:02,081 --> 00:13:03,673
it's all just a misunderstanding,
291
00:13:03,749 --> 00:13:05,011
that he's actually P.J. Moffet.
292
00:13:05,084 --> 00:13:06,449
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
293
00:13:06,552 --> 00:13:08,520
And he's telling everybody
he's Jimmy "Two Guns"
294
00:13:08,587 --> 00:13:10,350
so he can do research
for his new novel.
295
00:13:10,422 --> 00:13:11,582
BILLY: Yeah, I'm a huge fan.
296
00:13:11,690 --> 00:13:13,749
The Butcherbird's Song,
it's my everything.
297
00:13:13,859 --> 00:13:15,884
- Please, that's... I have a copy myself.
- Hey, hey, hey!
298
00:13:15,961 --> 00:13:19,556
No, no. So, Billy brings Dave back here,
and he pays to have his jacket cleaned.
299
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:22,931
Yeah. He even autographed
the book for me.
300
00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:25,300
- ESPOSITO: Uh-huh? Ah.
- Oh. Isn't that lovely?
301
00:13:25,404 --> 00:13:26,962
RYAN: Uh. Hate to burst
your bubble, though.
302
00:13:27,072 --> 00:13:29,233
He ended up not being P.J. Moffet
after all.
303
00:13:29,308 --> 00:13:30,707
Guy was a con man.
304
00:13:30,776 --> 00:13:32,243
- Come on!
- What? No!
305
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:34,905
And, by the way, Castle,
no matter what you say here,
306
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:38,973
it doesn't prove that your new BFF Billy
didn't off Dave.
307
00:13:39,084 --> 00:13:42,645
- No, it doesn't, but his alibi does.
- BILLY: Yeah.
308
00:13:42,755 --> 00:13:44,746
At the time of the murder,
he was front row at The Lion King.
309
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:47,725
Arguably the best musical in town.
310
00:13:47,793 --> 00:13:48,885
CASTLE: Yes, well, you're not wrong.
311
00:13:48,961 --> 00:13:53,421
But tell them what you saw
before you put Dave in the trunk.
312
00:13:53,499 --> 00:13:54,761
- Hypothetically.
- Hypothetically.
313
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,927
BILLY: Yeah, before I snatched up Dave,
314
00:13:57,002 --> 00:14:00,438
I saw him having this knock-down,
drag-out argument
315
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:02,633
with some tall guy
outside his apartment house.
316
00:14:02,741 --> 00:14:04,732
So, the guy says to Dave,
317
00:14:04,810 --> 00:14:06,971
"Hey, you better come through
like you promised,
318
00:14:07,079 --> 00:14:09,809
"or there's gonna be
serious consequences."
319
00:14:12,484 --> 00:14:14,349
Admit it, he's not so bad of a guy.
320
00:14:14,453 --> 00:14:17,013
Ugh. Castle, just because his alibi held
and he paid for lunch
321
00:14:17,122 --> 00:14:18,248
doesn't make him a great humanitarian.
322
00:14:18,324 --> 00:14:19,484
He kills people for a living.
323
00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:23,358
Yes, but without people like him,
people like us would be out of a job.
324
00:14:23,462 --> 00:14:24,952
Now, what's our next move?
325
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:26,691
Locate and identify this mystery man?
326
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:28,198
No, that's our next move.
327
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:29,631
Your next move is to go home.
328
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:31,533
Beckett doesn't want you
working the case. I'm sorry.
329
00:14:31,637 --> 00:14:33,127
No, I get it.
330
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:36,197
Totally understand. I'll circle back
around and update my client.
331
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:40,338
- ESPOSITO: Castle.
- That's...
332
00:14:40,446 --> 00:14:42,175
Yeah, that's too much.
333
00:14:45,985 --> 00:14:47,043
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
334
00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:49,682
Oh, Captain, my Captain!
335
00:14:49,788 --> 00:14:50,812
Carl.
336
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:54,451
Hey, thank you for
coming up from CSU.
337
00:14:54,526 --> 00:14:57,051
I need you to give me a rundown
of narcotic signatures.
338
00:14:57,162 --> 00:14:58,823
Specifically heroin.
339
00:14:58,898 --> 00:15:03,335
Basically, every batch of heroin
is like a snowflake.
340
00:15:03,402 --> 00:15:04,801
No two are alike.
341
00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:06,667
To determine if samples
are from the same batch,
342
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:10,641
we run a chromatographic
impurity signature profile analysis.
343
00:15:10,709 --> 00:15:12,142
Okay. Um...
344
00:15:12,211 --> 00:15:14,577
Let's say I have a sample of heroin,
345
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,841
and I compare it to another sample,
346
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:19,908
and that'll help me determine whether
they originated from the same source?

- CARL: Hey.
350
00:15:29,328 --> 00:15:31,421
Hey, what are you meeting
with CSU's narcotics guy for?
351
00:15:31,530 --> 00:15:34,863
You know, Espo, I do have other cases
that I have to supervise.
352
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:35,992
My apologies, Capitán.
353
00:15:36,068 --> 00:15:38,662
So, any luck
on finding that mystery man?

near David's apartment.
355
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:43,836
But, yo, I think
we're missing something here.
356
00:15:43,909 --> 00:15:45,001
What do you mean?
357
00:15:45,077 --> 00:15:48,774
Well, if Dave was a scam artist,
he is the oddest one I ever heard of.
358
00:15:48,881 --> 00:15:51,008
I mean, yes, he was exhibiting
con man behavior,
359
00:15:51,083 --> 00:15:52,675
but to what end?
360
00:15:52,751 --> 00:15:54,548
Uh. To rip people off.
361
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:56,679
Who? His wife?
362
00:15:56,755 --> 00:15:58,120
She didn't come from money.
363
00:15:58,223 --> 00:15:59,952

364
00:16:00,059 --> 00:16:02,357

Dave never asked him for a payoff.
365
00:16:02,428 --> 00:16:05,795
Okay, that's a good point.

including one with a deadly weapon.
371
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:19,141
You know, maybe Eric and Dave
were working a con together
372
00:16:19,244 --> 00:16:20,609
and something went wrong.
373
00:16:20,713 --> 00:16:21,805

374
00:16:21,914 --> 00:16:23,643

We got a location.

that we were here?

Did you put this tracker on me

today is a sad day

Dave Johnson.
417
00:18:53,365 --> 00:18:58,359
His is a cautionary tale
because last night,
418
00:18:58,437 --> 00:19:01,133
Dave's lies finally caught up with him.
419

424
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:14,244
Makes perfect sense.
425
00:19:15,454 --> 00:19:18,082
Dave wasn't a con man.
He was a pathological liar.
426
00:19:19,725 --> 00:19:20,953
This is ridiculous.
427
00:19:21,059 --> 00:19:23,050
I didn't kill Dave. He was my friend.
428
00:19:23,128 --> 00:19:24,117
You sure about that?
429
00:19:24,196 --> 00:19:26,664
Because the day he was killed,
a witness saw you threatening him.
430
00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:28,426
I was his sponsor.
431
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:29,990
He was in trouble.
432
00:19:30,102 --> 00:19:33,128
I was pushing him to attend a
Pathological Liars Anonymous meeting.
433
00:19:33,238 --> 00:19:35,297
Yeah, that's the ticket. That's it.

- Yeah.

Okay, fine.

But then how can we believe anything
you say about Dave?

00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:04,024
- No.
- A white lie?

00:20:04,102 --> 00:20:06,593
No. I can prove it to you.

00:20:06,672 --> 00:20:08,105

You said Dave was in trouble.
What kind of trouble?
466
00:20:46,378 --> 00:20:48,073
It started a couple of weeks ago.
467
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:51,809
He fell off the wagon.
He started lying out of control.
468
00:20:51,883 --> 00:20:52,975
And he was scared.
469
00:20:53,051 --> 00:20:54,075
Scared of what?
470
00:20:54,186 --> 00:20:55,585

uncovered something.
471
00:20:55,687 --> 00:20:57,518
Something dangerous, illegal.
472
00:20:57,589 --> 00:20:59,056
Why didn't he come to the cops?
473
00:20:59,157 --> 00:21:01,682
He had lied so many times
to so many people.
474
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,352
Even his own wife.
475
00:21:03,428 --> 00:21:05,658
He knew nobody would believe in him.
He was the boy that cried wolf.
476
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:07,823
But whatever it was,
477
00:21:07,899 --> 00:21:12,165

before he could go public.

is telling the truth?

Well, as far as we can tell.

is rock-solid for the murder.

I do love me some Wagyu.
521
00:22:54,339 --> 00:22:55,465
Thank you.
522
00:22:55,540 --> 00:22:56,837
(CELL PHONE CHIMES)
523
00:23:03,315 --> 00:23:04,612
What's up?
524
00:23:04,683 --> 00:23:06,241
(CHUCKLES) Nothing. Jenny just...
525
00:23:06,318 --> 00:23:08,946
You know, she wants me to pick up
some stuff on the way home, that's all.
526
00:23:10,021 --> 00:23:11,079
Really?
527
00:23:11,156 --> 00:23:13,147
'Cause that text message said
"Sergeant's exam."
528
00:23:13,625 --> 00:23:15,650
(CRUNCHING LOUDLY)
529
00:23:18,130 --> 00:23:22,760
Okay, I may have lied earlier.
530
00:23:22,834 --> 00:23:26,634
There was an exam slot open,
but only one.
531
00:23:26,705 --> 00:23:28,536
(SLURPING)
532
00:23:29,808 --> 00:23:30,832
So you took it?
533
00:23:30,942 --> 00:23:32,842
Without even talking to me?
534
00:23:32,944 --> 00:23:34,775
- Bro, that was my idea.
- I'm sorry. I'm...
535
00:23:34,946 --> 00:23:37,141
You know how stressed out
about money I've been lately.
536
00:23:37,215 --> 00:23:38,204
A bump in pay would really help.
537
00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:39,974
Javi. Hey!
538
00:23:40,051 --> 00:23:41,382
No. Save it.
539
00:23:42,053 --> 00:23:43,042
Hey, Ryan.
540
00:23:43,155 --> 00:23:48,058
I couldn't help but overhear
about your financial concerns.
541
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,323
Maybe you and I could work together.
542
00:23:51,396 --> 00:23:52,863
How?
543
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,662
Well, do a little moonlighting for me.
544
00:23:57,736 --> 00:24:00,136
Just keep me in the loop
as to what's going on at the 12th.
545
00:24:00,205 --> 00:24:01,866
You want me to be a rat for you?
Hell, no.
546
00:24:01,973 --> 00:24:03,497
I would pay you $500 a week.
547
00:24:03,575 --> 00:24:04,974
I'll do it.
548
00:24:11,883 --> 00:24:12,872
Hey, partner.
549
00:24:13,685 --> 00:24:14,879
Food truck is here.
550
00:24:14,986 --> 00:24:17,853
So I got you some breakfast.
Double salsa.
551
00:24:17,923 --> 00:24:19,185
Just the way you like it.
552
00:24:19,257 --> 00:24:21,521
Oh. Hey, thanks.
553
00:24:24,029 --> 00:24:25,053
What the hell?
554
00:24:25,163 --> 00:24:28,155
I was just treating that burrito
like you treated me.
555
00:24:28,233 --> 00:24:31,532
Okay, I lied to you. I'm sorry.
I have responsibilities.
556
00:24:31,603 --> 00:24:34,731
I guess looking out for your
partner's back isn't one of them.
557
00:24:35,373 --> 00:24:36,397
You guys okay?
558
00:24:36,508 --> 00:24:37,736
Fine. What's up?
559
00:24:37,843 --> 00:24:39,674
BECKETT: I need you to go down
to City Hall.
560
00:24:39,744 --> 00:24:42,212
Dave's boss said that Dave had
an incident there two weeks ago.
561
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,909
And his janitorial company was forced
to reassign him to another facility.
562
00:24:46,017 --> 00:24:47,177
What kind of incident?
563
00:24:47,519 --> 00:24:51,956
(CHUCKLES) I think that's what she's
sending us down there to find out.
564
00:24:52,057 --> 00:24:53,046
Yeah, we're on it.
565
00:24:53,124 --> 00:24:54,113
BECKETT: Okay.
566
00:24:56,461 --> 00:24:57,723
What have you got for me?
567
00:24:57,796 --> 00:24:58,888
RYAN: (WHISPERING)
Yeah, apparently,
568
00:24:58,964 --> 00:25:01,023
our vic had some sort of confrontation
down at City Hall.
569
00:25:01,099 --> 00:25:03,260
So we're running down there to talk
to the deputy chief of staff.
570
00:25:03,368 --> 00:25:04,357
(LOUDLY) Okay, yeah.
571
00:25:04,436 --> 00:25:06,734
(CHUCKLES) I love you too, sweetie.
Bye-bye.
572
00:25:08,106 --> 00:25:09,095
That was weird.
573
00:25:09,207 --> 00:25:10,936
- What?
- Ryan just told me he loved me.
574
00:25:11,042 --> 00:25:14,068
I'm sure he was just covering.
575
00:25:14,145 --> 00:25:18,206
Don't you feel the least bit conflicted
about turning him into a mole?
576
00:25:18,283 --> 00:25:19,716
He's not stealing state secrets.
577
00:25:19,784 --> 00:25:23,117
I'm just paying him to keep me
in the loop on their cases.
578
00:25:23,221 --> 00:25:25,553
So you can ingratiate yourself
in said cases
579
00:25:25,624 --> 00:25:26,955
and find new ways
to interact with Beckett.
580
00:25:27,058 --> 00:25:29,891
Well, if by "ingratiate myself"
you mean dazzle her
581
00:25:29,961 --> 00:25:33,328
with my Sherlockian genius,
then, yes, that's exactly what I mean.
582
00:25:33,431 --> 00:25:34,455
So what did Ryan say?
583
00:25:34,566 --> 00:25:37,228
That our victim got himself
into some trouble at City Hall
584
00:25:37,302 --> 00:25:38,792
that might have got him killed.
585
00:25:38,904 --> 00:25:43,637
So what do you say we call
my good buddy the mayor?
586
00:25:43,742 --> 00:25:45,266
Dave was a janitor, Dad.
587
00:25:45,343 --> 00:25:47,470
I sincerely doubt
he was on the mayor's radar.
588
00:25:50,415 --> 00:25:53,282
REED: We fired Dave Johnson after
he broke into the accounting office.
589
00:25:53,351 --> 00:25:55,945
And he tried to run
when security caught him.
590
00:25:56,021 --> 00:25:58,148
Well, what did he say
when they caught him?
591
00:25:58,256 --> 00:26:01,020
Oh. Some nonsense about being
on a mission from God or something,
592
00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:03,993
which is incredibly disrespectful, given
how he got the job in the first place.
593
00:26:04,095 --> 00:26:05,494
And how's that?
594
00:26:06,197 --> 00:26:08,961
Well, he was recommended
by Father Arguello at Saint Mark's.
595
00:26:09,034 --> 00:26:10,160
The blind priest?
596
00:26:10,268 --> 00:26:11,360
Yeah. So?
597
00:26:11,469 --> 00:26:12,527
Dave was killed in Arguello's church.
598
00:26:13,705 --> 00:26:14,763
Oh, um...
599
00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:18,268
Well, look, I'm no detective,
but that sounds like a clue.
600
00:26:18,343 --> 00:26:19,469
Ah. If you'll excuse me.
601
00:26:19,544 --> 00:26:20,841
Yeah.
602
00:26:20,946 --> 00:26:23,141
Looks like we need to talk
to the good father. Let's go.
603
00:26:23,448 --> 00:26:25,678
Oh. Wait. Just a second.
604
00:26:25,784 --> 00:26:29,185
I'll make a quick phone call to Jenny.
Be right there.
605
00:26:31,890 --> 00:26:33,448
ALEXIS: A mission from God?
606
00:26:33,525 --> 00:26:34,514
CASTLE: Well, that's what Ryan said.
607
00:26:34,626 --> 00:26:36,491
On the other hand,
Dave was a compulsive liar.
608
00:26:36,561 --> 00:26:39,826
Mmm. Still, most lies
have a kernel of truth in them.
609
00:26:39,898 --> 00:26:41,490
Like when you went to Fashion Week,
610
00:26:41,566 --> 00:26:44,057
but you neglected to mention you were
taking my platinum credit card?
611
00:26:44,169 --> 00:26:45,500
I was more thinking about our victim
612
00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:47,231
and how he lied
about being a fugitive mobster
613
00:26:47,339 --> 00:26:49,671
in order to investigate union kickbacks.
614
00:26:49,741 --> 00:26:51,641
Kickbacks that could be connected
to City Hall.
615
00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:53,644
Hence, Dave breaking into
the accounting office.
616
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:55,236
What does any of this have to do
with a blind priest?
617
00:26:55,747 --> 00:26:57,271
(TAPPING)
618
00:26:57,849 --> 00:27:01,216
Well, ask and you shall receive.
619
00:27:04,990 --> 00:27:06,150
Uh. Excuse me, Father.
620
00:27:06,224 --> 00:27:08,556
We are investigating
Dave Johnson's murder.
621
00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:11,595
We'd like to ask you a few questions
regarding your relationship with him.
622
00:27:11,696 --> 00:27:13,687
I was his priest, my son.
623
00:27:13,765 --> 00:27:16,734
I gave him spiritual guidance.
624
00:27:16,835 --> 00:27:18,029
And which part of that guidance
625
00:27:18,103 --> 00:27:20,731
included breaking and entering
at City Hall?
626
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:26,907
The blind priest just ran away.
627
00:27:30,715 --> 00:27:31,875
CASTLE: This cannot end well.
628
00:27:32,784 --> 00:27:34,115
- Hey!
- Hey, watch it!
629
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:35,577
Huh.
630
00:27:36,888 --> 00:27:38,219
Should we...
631
00:27:38,289 --> 00:27:39,916
Damn it. Yes.
632
00:27:46,698 --> 00:27:48,598
(EXCLAIMS) What?
633
00:27:48,700 --> 00:27:49,758
BECKETT: So, let me get this straight.
634
00:27:49,868 --> 00:27:53,861
You got parkoured by a blind priest?
635
00:27:53,938 --> 00:27:56,463
I'd say the blindness is under dispute.
636
00:27:56,574 --> 00:27:58,303
Uh-huh. And what about
the fact that he's 60?
637
00:27:58,410 --> 00:28:00,071
Was he faking his age, too?
638
00:28:00,145 --> 00:28:01,203
CASTLE: Sixty is the new 20.
639
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:02,769
Did you call just to bust my chops?
640
00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:05,645
Yeah, pretty much.
641
00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:10,481
Um. All right, Speedy, I gotta go.
642
00:28:10,588 --> 00:28:13,148
Make sure you stretch before bed.
643
00:28:13,224 --> 00:28:14,213
(DIAL TONE)
644
00:28:14,492 --> 00:28:15,550
They got the priest.
645
00:28:15,660 --> 00:28:16,649
How do you know?
646
00:28:16,761 --> 00:28:19,594
Beckett was having too much fun. Wait.
647
00:28:19,664 --> 00:28:22,224
Beckett was having fun. With me.
648
00:28:23,301 --> 00:28:24,734
Score.
649
00:28:24,803 --> 00:28:27,067
Imagine how much fun she's gonna
have with the runaway priest.
650
00:28:27,772 --> 00:28:29,399
FATHER ARGUELLO:
Can I be honest with you?
651
00:28:29,474 --> 00:28:31,635
I went blind to get out of Tampa.
652
00:28:33,044 --> 00:28:35,569
It was miserable down there.
653
00:28:38,917 --> 00:28:42,045
The humidity was just oppressive.
654
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,487
When I learned that
priests with certain disabilities
655
00:28:45,590 --> 00:28:48,081
- have their pick of assignments, I...
- (SIGHS)
656
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,951
I didn't even hesitate.
657
00:28:52,897 --> 00:28:56,628
I don't understand what any of this
has to do with Dave Johnson's murder.
658
00:28:57,602 --> 00:29:00,730
Dave's lying was a terrible burden.
659
00:29:01,506 --> 00:29:04,168
One that he'd been carrying
since childhood.
660
00:29:04,809 --> 00:29:07,972
I offered him a way to make amends.
661
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:10,274
And this is you still being honest?
662
00:29:10,348 --> 00:29:11,906
Yes.
663
00:29:11,983 --> 00:29:14,645
Dave's lying
torpedoed his accounting career.
664
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:17,085
That's why he was working
as a janitor at City Hall,
665
00:29:17,155 --> 00:29:20,454
pretending to be a reclusive author.
666
00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:25,461
My parish was about to miss
a payment to the city
667
00:29:25,530 --> 00:29:28,966
due to my mismanagement of funds.
668
00:29:29,868 --> 00:29:32,928
I simply asked Dave to sneak
into the accounting office
669
00:29:33,004 --> 00:29:36,838
and log the payment
into the computer as received.
670
00:29:36,975 --> 00:29:41,844
Oh. So, this wasn't about making
amends, this was about helping you.
671
00:29:42,714 --> 00:29:46,309
When Dave was hacked
into the city budget,
672
00:29:46,384 --> 00:29:49,376
he found evidence
of a secret slush fund.
673
00:29:49,487 --> 00:29:52,479
$10 million
siphoned from social programs
674
00:29:52,557 --> 00:29:54,354
to line someone's pocket.
675
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:57,622
It was a lie Dave couldn't stomach.
676
00:29:57,695 --> 00:30:01,028
So, he vowed to expose it.
677
00:30:01,132 --> 00:30:04,795
And you believe that whoever controlled
this alleged slush fund
678
00:30:04,869 --> 00:30:06,962
discovered Dave's intrusion?
679
00:30:08,173 --> 00:30:10,232
They killed him for it.
680
00:30:13,912 --> 00:30:15,004
RYAN: So, what do you think?
681
00:30:15,079 --> 00:30:16,740
ESPOSITO: It tracks with what
our victim told his sponsor.
682
00:30:16,815 --> 00:30:19,375
And with Dave's questions
about union kickbacks.
683
00:30:19,484 --> 00:30:21,850
It doesn't matter. It's not actionable.
684
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,911
There's no way we're gonna get
a subpoena for City Hall
685
00:30:24,022 --> 00:30:28,482
based on hearsay told to a not-blind
priest from a pathological liar.
686
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,892
I guess Dave was right.
No one believes the boy who cries wolf.
687
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:32,155
RYAN: So, what are you saying?
We give up?
688
00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:33,822
Because that's not the Beckett
that I know.
689
00:30:33,898 --> 00:30:34,990
No, I'm not saying
that we should give up.
690
00:30:35,066 --> 00:30:37,193
What I am saying is I've been a captain
for about five minutes.
691
00:30:37,268 --> 00:30:40,499
If we take this to the DA, nobody
is gonna take me seriously, ever.
692
00:30:40,572 --> 00:30:42,062
Okay. We'll get proof.
693
00:30:42,173 --> 00:30:43,401
Money's gone.
694
00:30:43,508 --> 00:30:46,443
Even if there is a secret slush fund,
the person controlling it
695
00:30:46,544 --> 00:30:48,671
killed Dave to cover it up,
buried the money deep,
696
00:30:48,746 --> 00:30:49,940
covered his tracks.
697
00:30:50,048 --> 00:30:51,106
So, what are we supposed to do?
698
00:30:51,216 --> 00:30:52,444
We do our homework.
699
00:30:53,284 --> 00:30:56,117
We find out who could pull off
a slush fund in the City Budget.
700
00:30:56,221 --> 00:30:57,882
Which means
we have to talk to someone
701
00:30:57,956 --> 00:31:00,015
with contacts and resources
in City Hall.
702
00:31:00,091 --> 00:31:04,084
Someone who's best friends
with the mayor?
703
00:31:04,195 --> 00:31:05,890
Someone like Castle?
704
00:31:08,032 --> 00:31:10,227
He's gonna be so smug about this.
705
00:31:10,301 --> 00:31:11,290
CASTLE: I'm sorry.
706
00:31:11,402 --> 00:31:14,269
Did you say you needed my help?
707
00:31:14,372 --> 00:31:15,566
Castle.
708
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:16,629
You heard her say it, right?
709
00:31:16,741 --> 00:31:17,730
Dad, let it go.
710
00:31:17,809 --> 00:31:18,935
BECKETT: Thank you.
711
00:31:19,043 --> 00:31:20,874
Castle, do you have
the intel we need or not?
712
00:31:20,945 --> 00:31:22,105
(CHUCKLES)
713
00:31:22,313 --> 00:31:23,575
Tell her.
714
00:31:23,648 --> 00:31:25,138
(SIGHS) When I was in middle school,
715
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:27,275
Dad did four months of extensive
research into the inner working
716
00:31:27,385 --> 00:31:29,114
of city finance
for a novel he was writing.
717
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:30,744
Yes, but then I realized that that novel
718
00:31:30,822 --> 00:31:33,120
would be the most boring novel
in the history of novels,
719
00:31:33,224 --> 00:31:35,454
so I wrote a Derrick Storm
book instead.
720
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,391
Okay, so, then you have
a pretty good idea
721
00:31:37,462 --> 00:31:39,930
of which city officials would be able
to hide a $10 million slush fund.
722
00:31:39,998 --> 00:31:42,728
Yes. And it's a pretty small list.
723
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,665
The only people
with access to the entire budget
724
00:31:44,769 --> 00:31:45,895
are the comptroller,
725
00:31:45,970 --> 00:31:47,938
the mayor's chief of staff
and the deputy chief.
726
00:31:48,006 --> 00:31:49,667
Stephen Reed, the guy we met with.
727
00:31:49,774 --> 00:31:51,503
CASTLE: I know for a fact
that the chief of staff
728
00:31:51,609 --> 00:31:52,940
is in London with the mayor.
729
00:31:53,011 --> 00:31:54,308
ESPOSITO: And I made
a few discreet calls.
730
00:31:54,412 --> 00:31:56,972
The city comptroller was
at a fundraiser when Dave was shot.
731
00:31:57,081 --> 00:31:59,345
Which means Reed
is our main suspect.
732
00:31:59,450 --> 00:32:00,610
Okay, so how do we get this guy?
733
00:32:00,685 --> 00:32:04,018
May I suggest
the Midnight Run stratagem?
734
00:32:04,122 --> 00:32:05,146
The what?
735
00:32:05,256 --> 00:32:07,918
Midnight Run. It's one of the top five
buddy movies of all time.
736
00:32:07,992 --> 00:32:09,584
And you're suggesting
we base our legal strategy
737
00:32:09,661 --> 00:32:10,855
upon this buddy cop movie?
738
00:32:10,962 --> 00:32:12,327
No, he's right. It could work.
739
00:32:12,430 --> 00:32:13,522
At the end of the movie,
740
00:32:13,631 --> 00:32:15,826
Robert De Niro tricks a mobster
into taking computer disks
741
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:18,198
he thinks contain evidence against him.
742
00:32:18,303 --> 00:32:19,702
And just by showing up to take them,
743
00:32:19,804 --> 00:32:22,364
the mobster is committing conspiracy
to obstruct justice.
744
00:32:22,473 --> 00:32:24,100
CASTLE: If we can trick Reed
the same way,
745
00:32:24,175 --> 00:32:26,370
then we've got all the leverage
we need to expose the slush fund
746
00:32:26,477 --> 00:32:27,944
and go after him for Dave's murder.
747
00:32:28,012 --> 00:32:30,845
But, Kate, you can't be involved.
748
00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:31,938
Why not?
749
00:32:32,016 --> 00:32:33,176
Because if Reed isn't involved,
750
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:35,844
then all this blows up in our face,
and you take the hit.
751
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:36,909
And you don't need that.
752
00:32:36,988 --> 00:32:39,047
Let us shield you, Captain.
753
00:32:39,223 --> 00:32:40,247
(SIGHS)
754
00:32:40,325 --> 00:32:42,987
Okay. I'm out. For now.
755
00:32:44,228 --> 00:32:45,286
Thanks.
756
00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:50,532
Okay, how do we do this?
757
00:32:50,635 --> 00:32:55,004
First, I'm gonna need to borrow
your blind priest.
758
00:32:55,073 --> 00:32:58,873
FATHER ARGUELLO:
Mr. Reed? Mr. Reed?
759
00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:00,069
- Father.
- Oh!
760
00:33:00,178 --> 00:33:01,304
What are you doing here?
761
00:33:01,379 --> 00:33:03,870
Your office told me where to find you.
762
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:05,677
Ah. Well, sorry, Father.
763
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:07,240
I'm appointment-only,
even for the clergy.
764
00:33:07,352 --> 00:33:12,346
I don't think you want your office to hear
what we're about to discuss.
765
00:33:12,423 --> 00:33:14,755
Dave Johnson was one of my flock.
766
00:33:15,727 --> 00:33:18,696
REED: Who got fired
for being where he didn't belong.
767
00:33:18,763 --> 00:33:20,663
Yes. But while he was there,
Dave told me
768
00:33:20,732 --> 00:33:24,065
he stumbled across
your little secret account.
769
00:33:25,370 --> 00:33:26,894
I got no idea
what you're talking about.
770
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:28,438
And my hotdog's waiting. So...
771
00:33:28,539 --> 00:33:31,201
Dave was a cautious man, Mr. Reed.
772
00:33:31,275 --> 00:33:33,539
He took proof of the account,
773
00:33:33,611 --> 00:33:36,375
proof that he left on a thumb drive
on the altar of my church
774
00:33:36,447 --> 00:33:39,245
behind the chalice before he was killed.
775
00:33:40,051 --> 00:33:43,885
I give you this information as a gift.
776
00:33:43,955 --> 00:33:47,186
If you were to make
the church's debt disappear
777
00:33:47,258 --> 00:33:50,250
as a token of appreciation,
778
00:33:50,361 --> 00:33:53,228
well, the Lord would be grateful.
779
00:33:53,297 --> 00:33:54,764
Hmm. (CLEARS THROAT)
780
00:33:54,966 --> 00:33:57,764
Like I said, Father,
781
00:33:57,869 --> 00:33:59,962
I got no clue what you're talking about.
782
00:34:00,538 --> 00:34:02,870
Don't ever come see me again.
783
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:04,771
Bless you, my child.
784
00:34:05,510 --> 00:34:06,499
You think it worked?
785
00:34:06,577 --> 00:34:07,601
Of course it worked.
786
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:08,736
We'll know tonight.
787
00:34:08,813 --> 00:34:09,802
That it worked.

Go big or go home.

Is that him?

I don't know.
798
00:35:40,438 --> 00:35:41,427
It's gotta be him.

Catching him
with that empty thumb drive

was our whole conspiracy charge.

00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:03,549
Did it work?

Are you the one
that turned the lights out?

- Well, yeah.
- I told her to do that.
812
00:36:10,334 --> 00:36:12,359
Why in the hell would you do that?
813
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:14,961
Well, I thought our Midnight Run
stratagem needed a little twist.
814
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:16,973
Trust me, guys, if this works,
815
00:36:17,041 --> 00:36:18,303
we're gonna have him
on a whole lot more
816
00:36:18,376 --> 00:36:19,673
than just obstruction.
817
00:36:19,744 --> 00:36:20,802
What if it doesn't?

(BEEPS)

00:36:46,404 --> 00:36:50,204
Hi. I'm Richard Castle,
private investigator.
820
00:36:50,441 --> 00:36:53,842
The moment you plugged
this thumb drive into your computer,
821
00:36:53,911 --> 00:36:56,038
it injected a virus into your system.
822
00:36:56,113 --> 00:36:59,913
By now that virus has searched
your keystroke history and found
823
00:37:00,017 --> 00:37:02,383
where you've moved
your hidden slush fund.
824
00:37:02,453 --> 00:37:06,287
It's the computer equivalent
of an exploding dye pack.
825
00:37:06,357 --> 00:37:07,346
Oops.
826
00:37:07,458 --> 00:37:08,720
(GRUNTING)
827
00:37:14,932 --> 00:37:17,924
So I guess we can add destruction
of city property to those charges.
828
00:37:21,939 --> 00:37:24,237
I didn't kill him.
829
00:37:24,308 --> 00:37:25,639
Why would I? He was a liar.
830
00:37:26,377 --> 00:37:28,641
Plus, I have an alibi.
831
00:37:28,746 --> 00:37:30,873
Oh. Let me guess.
You were home alone, asleep.
832
00:37:30,948 --> 00:37:34,941
No. I was out playing poker with
your boss, the police commissioner.
833
00:37:36,587 --> 00:37:38,817
Which means your killer
is still out there.
834
00:37:38,923 --> 00:37:39,981
So, what do we know?
835
00:37:40,091 --> 00:37:41,080
Dave Johnson.
836
00:37:41,158 --> 00:37:43,319
He was a pathological liar
who stumbled upon
837
00:37:43,427 --> 00:37:46,487
the secret slush funds
and then decided to expose it.
838
00:37:46,597 --> 00:37:48,997
And everyone connected to that
alibied out.
839
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:50,658
So we've got nothing?
840
00:37:50,735 --> 00:37:51,724
No.
841
00:37:51,802 --> 00:37:55,101
We can safely assume
that Dave was killed over a lie.
842
00:37:55,172 --> 00:37:56,161
Which lie, then?
843
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:59,732
Well, if I was writing this,
I would fall back on the theme.
844
00:37:59,810 --> 00:38:02,802
A lie is a betrayal of trust.
845
00:38:05,116 --> 00:38:09,644
And there is no greater betrayal
than a lie in a marriage.
846
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:14,990
Yeah, well, that might be. But Wendy
thought that Dave was P.J. Moffet.
847
00:38:15,459 --> 00:38:17,518
What if she found out he wasn't?
848
00:38:18,429 --> 00:38:19,418
WENDY: You have this all wrong.
849
00:38:19,497 --> 00:38:21,021
I didn't kill Dave.
850
00:38:21,132 --> 00:38:23,657
We found fragments
of stained glass in your car.
851
00:38:23,768 --> 00:38:26,965
It matches the broken glass
found in the church.
852
00:38:27,038 --> 00:38:29,302
(CHUCKLES)
853
00:38:32,510 --> 00:38:35,206
WENDY: I only married Dave because
he told me he was a famous author.
854
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:37,804
I just... I thought
I was gonna be living in luxury.
855
00:38:37,882 --> 00:38:42,319
And he insisted that we live in poverty,
856
00:38:42,386 --> 00:38:44,354
even though he had millions.
857
00:38:44,455 --> 00:38:46,980
Only he was lying. And you found out.
858
00:38:48,626 --> 00:38:51,891
You know, what I don't understand is
why would you kill him?
859
00:38:51,996 --> 00:38:53,827
Why didn't you just divorce the guy?
860
00:38:53,898 --> 00:38:56,526
Because he had to pay.
861
00:38:56,634 --> 00:38:58,397
For what he cost me.
862
00:38:58,502 --> 00:39:03,201
I could've married Ben Shapiro,
the carpet king of Nassau County.
863
00:39:03,307 --> 00:39:04,535
But instead,
864
00:39:04,642 --> 00:39:09,409
I married a liar who ruined my life.
865
00:39:12,817 --> 00:39:16,514
Wendy Johnson, you're under arrest
for the murder of your husband.
866
00:39:20,691 --> 00:39:21,919
Wait. Wait!
867
00:39:22,026 --> 00:39:23,084
Oh.
868
00:39:23,494 --> 00:39:26,088
In a few days,
you're gonna receive an invoice.
869
00:39:26,197 --> 00:39:29,325
I'd appreciate prompt payment.
Thanks.
870
00:39:33,237 --> 00:39:34,226
Hey.
871
00:39:34,338 --> 00:39:36,272
- Hey.
- Hey, hey, stop!
872
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:38,171
Stop, stop, stop. Listen. (SIGHS)
873
00:39:39,443 --> 00:39:41,240
I'm gonna call One PP,
874
00:39:41,345 --> 00:39:45,008
and I'm gonna ask 'em to give you that
last Sergeant's exam slot instead of me.
875
00:39:45,082 --> 00:39:46,344
I don't need your charity.
876
00:39:46,417 --> 00:39:47,816
- It's not charity.
- (SCOFFS)
877
00:39:47,885 --> 00:39:50,183
Hey! Hey, I did wrong by you.
878
00:39:53,591 --> 00:39:55,491
I'm trying to make amends here.
879
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,051
Hey, bozos.
880
00:39:59,764 --> 00:40:01,322
Did it ever occur to you
that your captain
881
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:04,857
could pull some strings
and get you both a slot?
882
00:40:05,870 --> 00:40:06,894
Did you?
883
00:40:07,671 --> 00:40:08,763
Yeah.
884
00:40:08,873 --> 00:40:11,671
And I expect you to pass.
885
00:40:11,742 --> 00:40:13,573
Good job today.
886
00:40:13,677 --> 00:40:15,406
- Thanks, Captain.
- Thanks, Captain.
887
00:40:19,850 --> 00:40:20,839
All right.
888
00:40:20,918 --> 00:40:21,942
Good luck, man.
889
00:40:27,291 --> 00:40:29,054
Castle?
890
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,397
CASTLE: Relax. Doesn't mean anything.
891
00:40:38,469 --> 00:40:43,065
It's just a little congratulatory coffee
after solving a tough case.
892
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:58,812
Mmm. Wow.
893
00:40:58,923 --> 00:41:01,619
I can never make it like you.
894
00:41:01,725 --> 00:41:03,283
Even though you taught me how.
895
00:41:03,427 --> 00:41:04,621
It's 'cause I lied.
896
00:41:07,398 --> 00:41:10,890
There's a, uh, special ingredient.
897
00:41:10,968 --> 00:41:12,128
I kept it a secret.
898
00:41:13,103 --> 00:41:15,571
Really? What is it?
899
00:41:15,639 --> 00:41:18,767
Well, now, if I told you that,
you might not need me anymore.
900
00:41:20,478 --> 00:41:22,412
Then don't tell me.
901
00:41:24,114 --> 00:41:27,982
And since we're being honest,
there's something that I have to tell you.
902
00:41:33,023 --> 00:41:34,012
I hated Moffet's book.
903
00:41:34,124 --> 00:41:35,591
What? Why...
904
00:41:37,862 --> 00:41:38,954
Why didn't you tell me?
905
00:41:39,029 --> 00:41:41,156
Because you gave it to me
when we first started dating,
906
00:41:41,265 --> 00:41:42,926
and I knew it was important to you,
907
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,025
so I lied.
908
00:41:45,102 --> 00:41:46,126
(CHUCKLES)
909
00:41:47,071 --> 00:41:48,265
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
910
00:41:51,208 --> 00:41:53,039
I'm sorry. I have to get this.
911
00:41:55,145 --> 00:41:56,169
Okay.
912
00:42:00,618 --> 00:42:01,607
Have a good night.
913
00:42:01,685 --> 00:42:02,674
BECKETT: You, too.
914
00:42:12,897 --> 00:42:13,921
(SIGHS)
915
00:42:14,498 --> 00:42:15,692
Vikram, hey.
916
00:42:15,799 --> 00:42:17,198
Did you get the test results
on the heroin
917
00:42:17,301 --> 00:42:18,893
from the Vulcan Simmons case?
918
00:42:21,739 --> 00:42:25,368
Good. Now we can get to work.
919
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:32,000
