00:00:07,874 --> 00:00:08,863
(GUN COCKS)
2
00:00:23,123 --> 00:00:25,216
Expect the worst.
These guys are beyond dangerous.
3
00:00:25,625 --> 00:00:26,922
Let's go.

Ripped & Corrected By mstoll

00:00:49,783 --> 00:00:52,251
OFFICER: Don't move!
Show me your hands!
6
00:00:56,556 --> 00:00:58,956
Is that all the guys you brought?
7
00:01:06,132 --> 00:01:08,032
How you holding up, kiddo?
8
00:01:08,201 --> 00:01:11,568
Oh. This separation thing
is getting really old.
9
00:01:11,638 --> 00:01:13,230
I know,
10
00:01:13,306 --> 00:01:15,536
but Katherine is at a crossroads.
11
00:01:15,775 --> 00:01:17,743
The loss she suffered
when she was young
12
00:01:17,811 --> 00:01:22,510
has just changed her in ways
that she's just now beginning to realize.
13
00:01:23,683 --> 00:01:27,585
Can your mother give you
a little unsolicited advice?
14
00:01:27,654 --> 00:01:29,645
- No.
- Too bad.
15
00:01:29,756 --> 00:01:31,189
I need to work on my material.
16
00:01:31,758 --> 00:01:33,555
- Material?
- Didn't I tell you?
17
00:01:33,693 --> 00:01:35,126
I'm writing a book.
18
00:01:35,195 --> 00:01:36,958
Unsolicited Advice by Martha Rodgers.
19
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:38,292
That's...
20
00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:41,525
That's actually a great idea.
21
00:01:41,634 --> 00:01:43,124
I know, isn't it?
22
00:01:43,203 --> 00:01:45,000
Oh, and your agent loved it, too.
23
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:46,800
- My agent?
- Never you mind that.
24
00:01:46,873 --> 00:01:48,067
Just listen.
25
00:01:48,475 --> 00:01:50,170
Have faith.
26
00:01:50,276 --> 00:01:51,709
Things between you and Katherine
27
00:01:51,811 --> 00:01:54,041
have a tendency
to just work themselves out.
28
00:01:54,147 --> 00:01:57,173
I think it's probably good that
she's out of town for a couple of days
29
00:01:57,283 --> 00:02:01,379
because a little time apart
is just what you need.
30
00:02:02,388 --> 00:02:04,549
What I need is a distraction.
31
00:02:05,558 --> 00:02:08,959
The burglary at what has been labeled
"New York's most secure building"
32
00:02:09,028 --> 00:02:12,691
is clearly a black eye
for billionaire developer Ronald Booth,
33
00:02:12,799 --> 00:02:15,461
who is keeping quiet
about exactly what was stolen,
34
00:02:15,535 --> 00:02:17,025
- but had this to say earlier...
- (DOOR OPENS)
35
00:02:17,103 --> 00:02:20,095
Hi. Welcome to
Richard Castle Investigations.
36
00:02:22,342 --> 00:02:23,331
Wow.
37
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:26,169
You grew up nice.
38
00:02:26,746 --> 00:02:28,304
I'm sorry. Do I know you?
39
00:02:28,381 --> 00:02:30,474
Old friend of your dad's.
40
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:31,642
Ethan Slaughter.
41
00:02:34,187 --> 00:02:35,484
Of course.
42
00:02:35,555 --> 00:02:38,183
Yeah, let me just tell him you're here.
43
00:02:44,931 --> 00:02:46,899
DEFCON One. Slaughter is here.
44
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:47,989
Here?
45
00:02:49,068 --> 00:02:50,831
- Like right behind the door, here?
- Yeah.
46
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:51,962
What does he want?
47
00:02:52,038 --> 00:02:54,006
I don't know.
He just said he was an old friend.
48
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:56,035
That can't be good.
49
00:02:56,142 --> 00:02:58,804
Is that the old friend who
almost got you killed a few years ago?
50
00:02:58,878 --> 00:03:01,608
Yeah. Like six times.
Okay.
51
00:03:01,714 --> 00:03:02,874
I... Uh...
52
00:03:04,317 --> 00:03:06,877
I can handle this. I'll just...
53
00:03:06,986 --> 00:03:08,920
I'll just tell him...
54
00:03:08,988 --> 00:03:12,048
I'll just tell him I'm not interested
55
00:03:12,825 --> 00:03:15,225
in whatever he... Whatever it is.
56
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:18,419
(EXHALES)
57
00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:30,232
Hey, Sherlock. Long time no see.
58
00:03:30,343 --> 00:03:32,140
(CHUCKLING) Hey, Slaughter!
59
00:03:32,579 --> 00:03:34,069
Buddy. How you been?
60
00:03:34,147 --> 00:03:36,206
Not enough shootouts,
but otherwise, stellar.
61
00:03:36,316 --> 00:03:39,547
Yeah! You're not going to find
many shootouts around here.
62
00:03:39,986 --> 00:03:40,975
Oh.
63
00:03:41,588 --> 00:03:43,419
So, good seeing you,
you should come back again sometime.
64
00:03:43,523 --> 00:03:46,321
Not so fast.
We've got some business to discuss.
65
00:03:46,392 --> 00:03:48,360
What kind of business?
66
00:03:48,428 --> 00:03:50,259
Ma'am, I don't believe
we've had the pleasure.
67
00:03:50,363 --> 00:03:52,354
Don't "ma'am" me, darling,
I'm Martha Rodgers.
68
00:03:52,432 --> 00:03:53,865
Richard Castle is my son.
69
00:03:53,933 --> 00:03:56,424
And the last time
you two did business together,
70
00:03:56,536 --> 00:03:58,902
he was on anti-anxiety medication
for a month.
71
00:03:58,972 --> 00:04:02,032
(CHUCKLING) She's kidding. Kidder.
72
00:04:02,108 --> 00:04:03,905
It was just a few weeks.
73
00:04:04,010 --> 00:04:05,534
You got a real
mama lion here, Sherlock.
74
00:04:05,612 --> 00:04:07,102
But no reason to worry.
75
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:10,772
What I'm here about won't put you
in a lick of danger, I promise.
76
00:04:10,850 --> 00:04:11,942
Hmm. And what's that?
77
00:04:12,018 --> 00:04:13,952
A case I'm working on I need help with,
78
00:04:14,053 --> 00:04:17,022
a high-end burglary
in this big, shiny building in Midtown.
79
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:19,217
The most secure building in New York?
80
00:04:19,692 --> 00:04:21,455
I just watched a news report about it.
81
00:04:21,527 --> 00:04:24,792
Yeah. Seems somebody
was able to bypass the alarm system
82
00:04:24,897 --> 00:04:28,333
and steal themselves some sort of
top-secret microchip.
83
00:04:28,401 --> 00:04:30,198
The whole thing's a little above
my intellectual pay grade,
84
00:04:30,270 --> 00:04:32,101
so I thought Sherlock here
could help me out.
85
00:04:32,205 --> 00:04:33,433
I thought you were gang task force.
86
00:04:33,539 --> 00:04:34,801
Oh, yeah, I got tired of that.
87
00:04:34,907 --> 00:04:37,205
I moved on to a whole new
class of dirtbags.
88
00:04:37,477 --> 00:04:40,139
(LAUGHS) I'm flattered
you thought of me, but I'm just...
89
00:04:40,246 --> 00:04:42,737
I have... My schedule is so full...
90
00:04:42,815 --> 00:04:44,214
- Yeah, we're swamped.
- Completely swamped.
91
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:46,073
Completely.
92
00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:49,046
Okay.
93
00:04:49,555 --> 00:04:51,489
You don't have to tell me twice. I got it.
94
00:04:51,557 --> 00:04:52,717
Great to see you again, Sherlock.
95
00:04:53,393 --> 00:04:56,089
I had some stories I was gonna tell you
to help you with your next book.
96
00:04:56,396 --> 00:04:58,887
Like this time
I was chasing this cartel hit team
97
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:00,728
through the sewers for three days.
98
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,735
But that's just gonna have to be
for another time.
99
00:05:03,836 --> 00:05:04,860
Ciao!
100
00:05:06,472 --> 00:05:07,962
Cartel hit team.
101
00:05:08,074 --> 00:05:09,405
Be strong, Richard.
102
00:05:10,109 --> 00:05:11,406
In the sewers.
103
00:05:14,814 --> 00:05:17,112
- Oh! Ah!
- Slaughter! Wait!
104
00:05:18,985 --> 00:05:20,953
- I'm in.
- Outstanding.
105
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:22,348
What's our first move?
106
00:05:22,422 --> 00:05:25,516
Lower East Side,
a guy I know named Victor Lee.
107
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:28,984
LANIE: Victim's name is Victor Lee.
108
00:05:29,095 --> 00:05:32,121
30-year-old male.
Died of exsanguination
109
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:34,823
from that giant knife in his neck.
110
00:05:34,934 --> 00:05:37,061
Killed between
10:00 and 2:00 last night.
111
00:05:37,503 --> 00:05:40,199
All right, let's find out
who Victor was talking to.
112
00:05:40,273 --> 00:05:41,831
What about that bruising on his face?
113
00:05:41,941 --> 00:05:44,671
That's older. Looks like someone
worked Mr. Lee over
114
00:05:44,777 --> 00:05:46,039
within the last 24 hours.
115
00:05:46,145 --> 00:05:48,136
Any hope of getting
a print off that murder weapon?
116
00:05:48,214 --> 00:05:50,375
Doubtful.
Looks like it's been wiped clean.
117
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:52,281
Hey, Espo.
118
00:05:52,385 --> 00:05:54,478
Guess who the last person
our victim called was?
119
00:05:54,554 --> 00:05:57,045
Do you know how hard it is for me
to not say "your mama" right now?
120
00:05:57,123 --> 00:05:58,112
(CLEARS THROAT)
121
00:05:59,559 --> 00:06:00,651
Slaughter?
122
00:06:00,727 --> 00:06:03,389
Hey. What the hell
happened to my guy?
123
00:06:03,463 --> 00:06:05,658
Castle. Slaughter.
124
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:07,165
This is not a pairing
I would've expected.
125
00:06:07,233 --> 00:06:08,962
- I know, right?
- Huh?
126
00:06:09,602 --> 00:06:12,196
I mean, together again. Yay!
127
00:06:12,905 --> 00:06:14,463
- You got any leads?
- RYAN: Yeah.
128
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:17,634
We got our victim calling you last night.
Care to share what you talked about?
129
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:19,473
Victor was my CI.
130
00:06:19,545 --> 00:06:21,376
Best damn snitch I ever had!
131
00:06:21,481 --> 00:06:23,642
'Cause he wasn't a criminal.
He managed some burger joint.
132
00:06:23,916 --> 00:06:26,009
But he grew up with
a rogue's gallery of lowlifes.
133
00:06:26,085 --> 00:06:28,485
Just too stupid
not to keep bragging to him
134
00:06:28,554 --> 00:06:30,545
about all the crimes
they were committing.
135
00:06:30,623 --> 00:06:31,920
So what was he calling you about?
136
00:06:31,991 --> 00:06:34,357
Uh, he was doing some digging
on this burglary I'm investigating.
137
00:06:35,027 --> 00:06:37,587
Well, it looks like that digging
might have got him killed.
138
00:06:37,663 --> 00:06:39,790
Are you saying this is my fault?
139
00:06:40,032 --> 00:06:42,933
(STAMMERS) Was Victor talking to
anyone else besides you?
140
00:06:43,002 --> 00:06:44,196
No. He said he was
gonna go meet someone.
141
00:06:44,270 --> 00:06:45,396
He didn't give me the name.
142
00:06:45,505 --> 00:06:47,905
All right. Then our first step
is to identify that guy.
143
00:06:48,007 --> 00:06:50,168
No, that's our job.
This is a homicide investigation.
144
00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:51,938
Tough! It was my case first.
145
00:06:52,044 --> 00:06:53,238
Victor was my guy,
146
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,745
so we're gonna find the rodent
that killed him, together.
147
00:06:55,848 --> 00:06:56,974
Come on, Sherlock.
148
00:06:57,049 --> 00:06:58,346
All right. But, Slaughter,
149
00:06:58,851 --> 00:07:00,978
you're gonna keep us in the loop
on every move you make.
150
00:07:01,053 --> 00:07:02,452
Of course.
151
00:07:02,555 --> 00:07:03,988
I'm a team player.
152
00:07:06,893 --> 00:07:08,155
I totally lied to those guys.
153
00:07:08,227 --> 00:07:11,560
I already got a line on who Victor
might've met with last night.
154
00:07:11,664 --> 00:07:12,858
Don't you think that's information
155
00:07:12,932 --> 00:07:14,456
we should share
with Ryan and Esposito?
156
00:07:14,534 --> 00:07:18,095
Nah. Isn't this fun?
You and me, together again.
157
00:07:18,204 --> 00:07:20,331
- (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
- Like Butch and Sundance.
158
00:07:21,774 --> 00:07:23,765
You know they die
at the end of the movie, right?
159
00:07:23,876 --> 00:07:26,538
Yeah. What a way to go!
160
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:31,546
I can't believe it.
I just talked to him yesterday.
161
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:33,016
What did you talk to him about?
162
00:07:33,085 --> 00:07:34,518
Getting back together.
163
00:07:34,587 --> 00:07:38,318
We broke up a few months ago.
I got sick of him not keeping his word.
164
00:07:38,391 --> 00:07:40,416
But he said it was
going to be different this time.
165
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:43,353
Told me he was about to
come into some big money.
166
00:07:43,429 --> 00:07:45,863
We were talking about
taking off together.
167
00:07:45,932 --> 00:07:47,194
California.
168
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,397
I always wanted to live on the beach.
169
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:51,869
Did he say where this "big money"
was coming from?
170
00:07:52,205 --> 00:07:53,229
No.
171
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:55,797
Would you excuse us for a second?
172
00:07:59,712 --> 00:08:02,374
Do you think Victor might've been
involved in stealing that microchip?
173
00:08:02,448 --> 00:08:04,040
No way. He was a straight arrow.
174
00:08:04,116 --> 00:08:05,481
I know you liked the guy,
175
00:08:05,585 --> 00:08:07,109
but he was working
a minimum wage job,
176
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:09,313
while all his criminal buddies
were pulling in big cash.
177
00:08:09,789 --> 00:08:13,555
Is it so impossible to believe
that he might've given in to temptation?
178
00:08:13,626 --> 00:08:15,594
Yeah, it's possible.
179
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:17,561
I just hate the idea he was playing me.
180
00:08:19,398 --> 00:08:21,730
Did Victor say
who he was meeting with last night?
181
00:08:21,801 --> 00:08:23,826
Some guy named Trucco.
182
00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:27,162
So I looked into
Slaughter's burglary case.
183
00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:31,471
The burglars made off with a microchip
for a next-gen cell phone.
184
00:08:31,577 --> 00:08:34,011
Prototype is worth north of
a million bucks on the black market.
185
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,240
- Vikram's looking into the database
- (CELL PHONE DINGS)
186
00:08:35,314 --> 00:08:36,338
Of known fences
187
00:08:36,415 --> 00:08:37,848
to find out who deals
in that kind of loot.
188
00:08:38,251 --> 00:08:41,220
Yo. CSU managed to find a print
on the murder weapon.
189
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:42,618
It was hidden under the hilt of the knife.
190
00:08:42,688 --> 00:08:43,916
They get a match in the system?
191
00:08:43,990 --> 00:08:45,116
Yeah, they're sending it now.
192
00:08:45,958 --> 00:08:47,357
Here it is.
193
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:50,621
What?
194
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:53,521
Yeah. Got it.
195
00:08:53,633 --> 00:08:57,433
Found Trucco, turns out he's a fence,
specializing in high-tech.
196
00:08:57,503 --> 00:08:58,663
What say we go shake his tree?
197
00:08:58,771 --> 00:09:00,170
- (CELL PHONE RINGS)
- Sounds good.
198
00:09:01,340 --> 00:09:02,329
Castle.
199
00:09:02,441 --> 00:09:03,999
- (SIREN WAILING)
- RYAN: Where are you?
200
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:05,099
At the office.
201
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:07,513
- Is Slaughter with you?
- Yeah.
202
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:09,072
Listen, Castle,
203
00:09:09,148 --> 00:09:10,775
his prints were on the murder weapon.
204
00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:13,216
Slaughter killed Victor Lee.
205
00:09:17,823 --> 00:09:19,848
Everything okay, Sherlock?
206
00:09:29,001 --> 00:09:30,866
- Who you talking to?
- Oh, just my mommy...
207
00:09:30,970 --> 00:09:33,063
Mother. Just my mother.
208
00:09:33,172 --> 00:09:34,969
I'm sorry, Mother,
what were you saying?
209
00:09:35,041 --> 00:09:36,201
We're headed to you right now.
210
00:09:36,309 --> 00:09:38,504
You're going to the club?
How long till you get there?
211
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:39,977
RYAN: We're five minutes away.
212
00:09:40,046 --> 00:09:41,035
So just play it cool.
213
00:09:41,147 --> 00:09:42,637
Yeah, don't let on
that you're talking to us.
214
00:09:42,848 --> 00:09:43,837
Yeah. No problem.
215
00:09:44,350 --> 00:09:45,874
That ain't your mom.
216
00:09:46,018 --> 00:09:47,542
It's Elvez and Lucky Charms, isn't it?
217
00:09:49,155 --> 00:09:51,589
- There's a slight problem.
- Give me that phone.
218
00:09:56,062 --> 00:09:57,825
What are you, Inspector Gadget?
This is a gun, not a pen.
219
00:09:57,897 --> 00:10:00,695
You don't keep it in your desk,
you strap it to your side.
220
00:10:00,766 --> 00:10:02,427
Or in your case, keep it in your purse.
221
00:10:02,535 --> 00:10:03,593
Please, don't kill me.
222
00:10:03,703 --> 00:10:05,034
I'm not gonna kill you.
223
00:10:05,104 --> 00:10:07,504
Is that what you told Victor
before you buried a knife in his neck?
224
00:10:07,573 --> 00:10:08,699
That wasn't me.
225
00:10:08,774 --> 00:10:11,368
Then why were your fingerprints
all over the murder weapon?
226
00:10:11,444 --> 00:10:13,878
I gave Victor that knife as a thank-you.
227
00:10:13,946 --> 00:10:15,436
A thank-you...
228
00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:16,947
Flowers are a nice thank-you gift.
229
00:10:17,049 --> 00:10:18,676
A giant Rambo knife, that's psychotic.
230
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:20,651
Different strokes. But it's the truth.
231
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,314
Just turn yourself in to the boys.
They'll treat you fairly.
232
00:10:23,389 --> 00:10:24,583
It ain't that simple.
233
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:27,782
I may have hit Victor a few times
yesterday morning
234
00:10:27,893 --> 00:10:29,383
when he wouldn't
look into that burglary for me.
235
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:30,554
But I didn't kill him.
236
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:32,359
Says the man holding a gun on me.
237
00:10:33,299 --> 00:10:35,392
Here, take it. Take it!
238
00:10:36,068 --> 00:10:38,468
I didn't tell you any of this before
because I know how it looks.
239
00:10:38,571 --> 00:10:40,368
You didn't doubt for a second
that I killed Victor.
240
00:10:40,773 --> 00:10:41,865
Neither will anyone else.
241
00:10:41,941 --> 00:10:44,705
So the only way to clear my name
is to find the real killer.
242
00:10:45,878 --> 00:10:47,106
So...
243
00:10:48,881 --> 00:10:49,870
Why come to me?
244
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:53,744
'Cause I got a lot of enemies.
245
00:10:53,819 --> 00:10:55,582
What I don't got is a friend.
246
00:10:57,957 --> 00:10:59,652
I need a friend, Sherlock.
247
00:11:12,471 --> 00:11:13,563
ESPOSITO: Where's Slaughter?
248
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,005
He's gone. He left a few minutes ago.
249
00:11:16,108 --> 00:11:18,599
- What happened?
- He insisted he was innocent.
250
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:20,578
Said he gave that knife
to Victor as a gift.
251
00:11:20,646 --> 00:11:22,011
A gift?
252
00:11:22,114 --> 00:11:23,240
What's wrong with a nice bottle of wine?
253
00:11:23,315 --> 00:11:25,681
I know, but, guys, I got to tell you,
254
00:11:25,751 --> 00:11:27,116
he really seemed
like he was telling the truth.
255
00:11:27,186 --> 00:11:28,244
RYAN: (SCOFFS) Forget it.
256
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,254
You can't trust a word
of what that guy says.
257
00:11:30,322 --> 00:11:32,085
You above all people
should know that, Castle.
258
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:34,490
It was only a matter of time until
he crossed the line and got caught.
259
00:11:34,593 --> 00:11:36,356
You're just lucky to be alive.
260
00:11:36,429 --> 00:11:37,453
Stay away from him.
261
00:11:50,843 --> 00:11:52,970
CASTLE: I do not like lying
to those guys.
262
00:11:53,045 --> 00:11:56,105
But you were right. They're not going to
give you the benefit of the doubt.
263
00:11:56,182 --> 00:11:57,945
You're a good man, Sherlock.
264
00:11:58,651 --> 00:12:00,551
Now we're neck-deep in this, together.
265
00:12:00,653 --> 00:12:02,120
Then we better get to work.
266
00:12:02,188 --> 00:12:04,884
Ryan and Esposito are good cops.
They're going to find you.
267
00:12:04,990 --> 00:12:07,220
All right, let's go hang
Trucco out a window
268
00:12:07,293 --> 00:12:09,090
till he talks or we lose our grip.
269
00:12:09,428 --> 00:12:10,861
Vámonos, muchacho.
270
00:12:16,936 --> 00:12:18,995
So where is this guy?
271
00:12:19,105 --> 00:12:20,504
My source says he'll be here.
272
00:12:22,007 --> 00:12:23,474
Hey, any chance
that smoking wife of yours
273
00:12:23,542 --> 00:12:25,203
is gonna come hunting for me, too?
274
00:12:25,311 --> 00:12:26,972
It might be worth getting caught
if she does the cuffing.
275
00:12:27,179 --> 00:12:28,203
Um...
276
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,340
No. Beckett and I are sort of
on a time-out right now.
277
00:12:32,084 --> 00:12:33,915
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
278
00:12:34,787 --> 00:12:35,947
Thanks.
279
00:12:36,021 --> 00:12:37,716
So, uh, what happened?
280
00:12:37,823 --> 00:12:38,847
I don't know.
281
00:12:38,958 --> 00:12:41,654
She just said she needed time
to figure things out.
282
00:12:42,294 --> 00:12:44,125
- Women.
- (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
283
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:46,064
If you're looking for a rebound,
284
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:48,930
my cousin Shauna's
got a nympho roommate.
285
00:12:49,835 --> 00:12:53,032
Um, I'm good. I'm good, thanks.
286
00:12:53,139 --> 00:12:54,470
All right, suit yourself.
287
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,369
Nothing makes a woman
want you more than moving on.
288
00:12:56,475 --> 00:12:58,033
Okay, conversation's over.
289
00:12:59,044 --> 00:13:00,306
And another thing.
290
00:13:00,379 --> 00:13:04,748
This time, you need me,
so we're gonna play by my rules.
291
00:13:05,317 --> 00:13:06,375
And what rules are those?
292
00:13:06,685 --> 00:13:08,084
You're not going to hurt anybody,
293
00:13:08,187 --> 00:13:10,314
you're not going to intimidate anybody,
294
00:13:10,389 --> 00:13:12,823
you're not even going to
raise your voice.
295
00:13:12,892 --> 00:13:14,917
You do, and I'm out.
296
00:13:16,662 --> 00:13:18,596
You're kidding, right? (CHUCKLES)
297
00:13:18,998 --> 00:13:20,022
No.
298
00:13:24,036 --> 00:13:25,333
Okay. Deal.
299
00:13:26,038 --> 00:13:27,767
Hey, Trucco! (LAUGHS)
300
00:13:28,374 --> 00:13:29,602
Time to pay the piper, buddy.
301
00:13:29,675 --> 00:13:32,166
Hey, hey, hey. What did I just say?
302
00:13:32,278 --> 00:13:34,007
Huh? Oh.
303
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:35,911
Oh. (CLEARS THROAT)
304
00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:39,442
My apologies, Mr. Trucco.
305
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:42,077
My name is Detective Slaughter,
this is Castle.
306
00:13:42,555 --> 00:13:45,388
We'd like to have a little
chat with you about a Victor Lee.
307
00:13:45,457 --> 00:13:46,481
Never heard of him.
308
00:13:46,892 --> 00:13:48,189
(CASTLE CLEARS THROAT)
309
00:13:50,095 --> 00:13:54,088
Mr. Trucco, we both know that
you fence high-tech items for a living.
310
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,497
And that you had a deal with Victor Lee
311
00:13:55,568 --> 00:13:58,036
to move a certain microchip
that he stole.
312
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:00,264
Now, unless you want us
to go check out your place
313
00:14:00,372 --> 00:14:02,203
and see if we can find
any stolen merchandise,
314
00:14:02,274 --> 00:14:05,141
I strongly recommend you tell us
what we want to know.
315
00:14:05,911 --> 00:14:07,003
And what's that?
316
00:14:07,079 --> 00:14:09,013
Did you buy a stolen microchip
317
00:14:09,081 --> 00:14:10,981
- from Victor last night?
- No.
318
00:14:11,083 --> 00:14:13,813
- Ass clown, I'll tear your face off...
- Dude.
319
00:14:19,291 --> 00:14:20,918
Please, sir, tell us the truth.
320
00:14:21,393 --> 00:14:22,587
I am.
321
00:14:22,661 --> 00:14:24,720
Look, Victor and his partner
were supposed to meet me last night,
322
00:14:24,797 --> 00:14:26,389
but they never showed.
323
00:14:26,465 --> 00:14:27,557
Who's his partner?
324
00:14:27,633 --> 00:14:29,828
I don't know. But from the way
Victor talked about him,
325
00:14:29,935 --> 00:14:31,835
it seems like they weren't
going to be partners for long.
326
00:14:36,775 --> 00:14:39,573
- You thinking what I'm thinking?
- Uh... Probably not.
327
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:42,513
That maybe Victor got greedy,
tried to double-cross his partner?
328
00:14:43,482 --> 00:14:45,677
And the partner
might've killed him for it.
329
00:14:45,784 --> 00:14:48,810
Nice going, Sherlock.
See, we make a perfect team. Let's go.
330
00:14:53,459 --> 00:14:54,448
(CLATTERING)
331
00:14:55,928 --> 00:14:58,226
- What was that?
- What was what?
332
00:15:00,532 --> 00:15:01,829
RYAN: Hey, check this out.
333
00:15:02,434 --> 00:15:04,334
Traffic cam caught Victor parked
334
00:15:04,436 --> 00:15:06,904
a block away from
where the microchip was stolen.
335
00:15:07,373 --> 00:15:10,069
That is Victor right before the burglary.
336
00:15:10,142 --> 00:15:11,439
And there's someone with him.
337
00:15:11,510 --> 00:15:13,034
Must be a partner.
Is there a better look?
338
00:15:13,145 --> 00:15:14,271
Nope.
339
00:15:14,780 --> 00:15:17,613
What if that's Slaughter?
I spoke to his captain.
340
00:15:17,683 --> 00:15:19,310
Slaughter was reassigned from gangs
341
00:15:19,385 --> 00:15:22,877
because a dealer accused him of
pocketing 20K during a drug bust.
342
00:15:22,955 --> 00:15:25,116
Word is, Slaughter
was about to be suspended,
343
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:26,953
quite possibly kicked off the job.
344
00:15:27,026 --> 00:15:28,391
Which means bye-bye pension.
345
00:15:28,494 --> 00:15:31,657
The microchip burglary might've been
Slaughter's retirement plan.
346
00:15:31,730 --> 00:15:33,288
And if Victor tried to double-cross him...
347
00:15:33,365 --> 00:15:34,491
Slaughter would've put him down.
348
00:15:35,067 --> 00:15:37,035
But why involve Castle in all of this?
349
00:15:37,836 --> 00:15:40,270
Maybe Victor hid the microchip
before he died.
350
00:15:40,339 --> 00:15:41,567
Slaughter couldn't find it,
351
00:15:41,674 --> 00:15:44,802
and so he thought he could fool Castle
into using his unique brain
352
00:15:44,877 --> 00:15:45,901
to help him find it.
353
00:15:46,545 --> 00:15:49,446
It's a good thing Castle's not
dumb enough to fall for that.
354
00:15:50,749 --> 00:15:52,114
So, where do you think the chip is?
355
00:15:52,184 --> 00:15:53,776
If Victor's partner
didn't sell it to Trucco,
356
00:15:53,852 --> 00:15:56,286
- then they probably still have it.
- Ah-ha-ha-ha.
357
00:15:57,923 --> 00:15:59,322
Oh, who's the talent?
358
00:15:59,391 --> 00:16:00,415
Slaughter, this is Hayley.
359
00:16:00,826 --> 00:16:01,918
Hi.
360
00:16:02,027 --> 00:16:03,995
No wonder you weren't interested
in that nympho roommate, huh?
361
00:16:04,063 --> 00:16:07,089
- I'm sorry, what?
- No... Just forget it.
362
00:16:07,166 --> 00:16:10,329
Um, Hayley just started working
with me as a consultant.
363
00:16:10,402 --> 00:16:13,030
Yes, Rick has asked me to suss out
the break-in at Booth Tower.
364
00:16:13,605 --> 00:16:15,539
Oh, and she speaks British. That's hot.
365
00:16:15,874 --> 00:16:18,672
Wow. It's always a pleasure
meeting one of your friends, Rick.
366
00:16:18,744 --> 00:16:20,609
He's really not... Just...
367
00:16:20,713 --> 00:16:22,704
Please ignore him.
Did you find anything?
368
00:16:22,781 --> 00:16:24,408
Of course I did.
369
00:16:24,516 --> 00:16:27,383
So the security system at Booth Tower
is definitely cutting-edge.
370
00:16:27,453 --> 00:16:29,944
It would've taken a genius-level
digital locksmith
371
00:16:30,055 --> 00:16:31,784
to get through the several layers
of the alarm system.
372
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:35,058
Genius? That sure as hell ain't Victor.
Or anyone he hangs with.
373
00:16:35,127 --> 00:16:36,185
HAYLEY: You sure about that?
374
00:16:36,261 --> 00:16:37,285
'Cause I did some digging,
375
00:16:37,396 --> 00:16:39,387
and it turns out that Victor
volunteered as a mentor
376
00:16:39,465 --> 00:16:43,526
to an underprivileged 16-year-old boy
named Louis Prince.
377
00:16:43,602 --> 00:16:47,003
Now, I hacked Louis' records,
and he has quite the history of violence.
378
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:50,735
Turns out he has been in and out
of several juvenile detention facilities,
379
00:16:50,809 --> 00:16:52,936
and he was kicked out
of four high schools.
380
00:16:53,045 --> 00:16:54,307
Doesn't sound too smart to me.
381
00:16:56,682 --> 00:16:58,343
- Is that his IQ?
- Oh, yes.
382
00:16:58,450 --> 00:16:59,712
190.
383
00:17:00,419 --> 00:17:01,977
He's like a criminal Good Will Hunting?
384
00:17:02,087 --> 00:17:03,247
Yeah.
385
00:17:04,056 --> 00:17:06,957
And it looks like
he's graduated to murder.
386
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:11,356
Louis has had a rough life.
387
00:17:11,430 --> 00:17:13,364
He was abandoned by his father
when he was five.
388
00:17:13,432 --> 00:17:14,524
Then he was raised by his mother,
389
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,261
who has to work two jobs
to support him.
390
00:17:16,368 --> 00:17:17,801
The kid was on his own 20 hours a day.
391
00:17:17,903 --> 00:17:20,064
Not all latchkey kids wind up killers.
392
00:17:20,139 --> 00:17:22,607
Yeah, they're not all Einstein-level
geniuses either.
393
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:25,609
Louis was...
Honestly, was just too smart.
394
00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:27,702
And he didn't have anyone
to help nurture his talent.
395
00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:30,476
So all he could do was lash out.
396
00:17:31,917 --> 00:17:34,044
That's when I first met him.
397
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,747
I knew right away he was the perfect
candidate for Operation Mentor.
398
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:37,982
What he needed more than anything
399
00:17:38,090 --> 00:17:39,921
was a strong male role model
to look out for him.
400
00:17:39,992 --> 00:17:41,823
- That was Victor.
- Eventually, yes.
401
00:17:41,927 --> 00:17:44,293
But Louis went through
five other mentors first.
402
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:46,387
I got a lot of pressure
to kick him out of the program.
403
00:17:46,465 --> 00:17:47,693
Victor was my last shot.
404
00:17:47,766 --> 00:17:50,132
But they hit it off right away.
And Louis started getting better.
405
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:53,235
You know, Detective, you should
consider becoming a mentor.
406
00:17:53,605 --> 00:17:54,799
(COUGHS)
407
00:17:55,507 --> 00:17:57,941
Yeah, I'm not role model material.
408
00:17:58,010 --> 00:17:59,170
He's really not.
409
00:17:59,778 --> 00:18:01,609
You never know.
I wasn't always a counselor.
410
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,274
I used to chase money around
Wall Street for 15 hours a day,
411
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:06,783
but this here,
this is definitely more fulfilling.
412
00:18:06,852 --> 00:18:07,978
Yes, I imagine so.
413
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:13,081
Now, if Victor were to use Louis' genius
to help commit a crime,
414
00:18:13,158 --> 00:18:15,319
that would have been
quite a betrayal of trust, wouldn't it?
415
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:17,224
Enough to make him snap
and kill his mentor?
416
00:18:17,329 --> 00:18:20,696
Well, Victor was the first person
that Louis ever trusted,
417
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:22,323
besides his mom.
418
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:26,234
So finding out he'd been betrayed
would have been pretty devastating.
419
00:18:27,506 --> 00:18:29,098
Any idea where Louis might be hiding?
420
00:18:29,842 --> 00:18:31,036
MR. WEST: I don't know. Sorry.
421
00:18:31,376 --> 00:18:33,367
Oh. Uh, thank you very much
for your time, Mr. West.
422
00:18:33,445 --> 00:18:34,469
We got to go.
423
00:18:34,546 --> 00:18:36,309
- Now.
- Oh, yeah. Thanks.
424
00:18:45,457 --> 00:18:46,651
Mr. West,
425
00:18:46,725 --> 00:18:50,183
I'm Detective Ryan
and this is Detective Esposito, NYPD.
426
00:18:50,262 --> 00:18:53,754
We just have a few questions about
a kid that Victor Lee was mentoring,
427
00:18:53,832 --> 00:18:54,958
named Louis Prince?
428
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,992
It's possible that
he might have some information
429
00:18:57,069 --> 00:18:58,229
that can help us solve a crime.
430
00:18:58,303 --> 00:19:00,567
That's funny. You guys just missed
the two other cops that were here.
431
00:19:00,639 --> 00:19:02,106
They were asking about Louis, too.
432
00:19:06,078 --> 00:19:07,306
CASTLE: Yes. Got it.
433
00:19:07,379 --> 00:19:10,075
Hayley managed to track Louis down
using the IP address on his computer.
434
00:19:10,149 --> 00:19:11,411
I have an address.
435
00:19:11,483 --> 00:19:12,711
Thank you very much
for doing this, Hayley.
436
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:14,752
I have another call. Thanks.
437
00:19:15,521 --> 00:19:17,921
- This is Castle.
- You lied to us?
438
00:19:18,423 --> 00:19:20,687
Oh, well, when you put it that way...
439
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:22,420
Castle, no... This is not funny.
440
00:19:22,528 --> 00:19:24,393
What are you doing running around
with our murder suspect?
441
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:26,395
Hey, Slaughter didn't kill anyone.
442
00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:27,489
All right? I promise you.
443
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:29,363
He wants to find
Victor's killer just as much as we do.
444
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,061
Really? Did he tell you why
he's not working gangs anymore?
445
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:33,297
Yes. He said he got bored.
446
00:19:33,438 --> 00:19:35,235
No. He got demoted,
447
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:38,639
he's under investigation
for robbing a drug dealer.
448
00:19:39,077 --> 00:19:40,339
You robbed a drug dealer?
449
00:19:40,412 --> 00:19:42,607
Hell, no! That's a BS charge.
450
00:19:42,714 --> 00:19:44,477
Slaughter's about to
lose his pension, Castle.
451
00:19:44,583 --> 00:19:46,881
We figured that he teamed up
with Victor to steal that chip
452
00:19:46,952 --> 00:19:48,852
and then he got greedy.
453
00:19:48,921 --> 00:19:52,721
Give me that. Hey, Detective,
get your head out of our butt.
454
00:19:52,791 --> 00:19:54,520
Yeah, sure, I might've tuned
Victor up a little bit,
455
00:19:54,593 --> 00:19:55,582
but I didn't kill him.
456
00:19:55,894 --> 00:19:57,828
You're wasting your time
chasing after me,
457
00:19:57,896 --> 00:19:59,261
you should be after the kid.
458
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:00,854
(PHONE CLATTERS)
459
00:20:02,434 --> 00:20:03,423
Hello?
460
00:20:03,569 --> 00:20:06,629
You know you can just
take the SIM card out, right?
461
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,435
I lose more phones in this line of work.
462
00:20:13,545 --> 00:20:17,504
If I wanted to just walk away,
you'd let me, right?
463
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:18,777
Having second thoughts?
464
00:20:18,917 --> 00:20:20,748
I think that's reasonable,
given your history.
465
00:20:20,886 --> 00:20:22,513
You mean given our history.
466
00:20:23,021 --> 00:20:24,215
(CRASHING)
467
00:20:27,726 --> 00:20:29,159
Hey! Hey! Freeze!
468
00:20:29,828 --> 00:20:30,817
(GRUNTING)
469
00:20:32,631 --> 00:20:33,928
Stay with the kid, Sherlock.
470
00:20:35,133 --> 00:20:37,101
Whoa. Relax, relax.
We're not here to hurt you.
471
00:20:37,169 --> 00:20:38,659
Please... Please, stay away from me.
472
00:20:47,379 --> 00:20:49,176
(SPITS) Come here.
473
00:20:49,982 --> 00:20:52,075
You're okay. Come on.
474
00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:54,015
We're just trying to figure out
what happened to Victor.
475
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,246
I didn't kill him. I swear.
476
00:20:56,321 --> 00:20:57,379
Hey, hey.
477
00:21:00,826 --> 00:21:02,020
No one's saying you did, okay?
478
00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:06,454
Really?
479
00:21:16,141 --> 00:21:18,405
Not your proudest moment, huh?
480
00:21:19,378 --> 00:21:20,572
I don't think he did it.
481
00:21:20,679 --> 00:21:21,873
Sure he did.
482
00:21:22,347 --> 00:21:24,008
You didn't see his face.
483
00:21:24,082 --> 00:21:26,209
He was scared and young.
484
00:21:26,652 --> 00:21:28,176
That's not the face of a killer.
485
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,345
We're all killers, Castle,
486
00:21:30,455 --> 00:21:32,685
when push comes to shove. Come on!
487
00:21:35,427 --> 00:21:36,451
(SLAUGHTER GRUNTS)
488
00:21:36,528 --> 00:21:38,723
Do I still have to play nice?
489
00:21:39,398 --> 00:21:41,161
- No.
- Good.
490
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:44,193
Now, you're gonna tell me
what you're doing here
491
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,498
or I'm gonna pull your dipstick
up to your chin like a zipper.
492
00:21:46,571 --> 00:21:47,936
Okay, I came for the kid.
493
00:21:48,006 --> 00:21:49,166
Why?
494
00:21:49,241 --> 00:21:50,333
'Cause he's the key.
495
00:21:50,409 --> 00:21:51,706
- I'm going to start zipping.
- No, wait.
496
00:21:51,843 --> 00:21:54,835
Look, I work for a crew
that specializes in high-end B&E's.
497
00:21:54,913 --> 00:21:57,074
Run by a guy named David Lacey.
498
00:21:57,382 --> 00:22:00,351
I know Lacey.
He gives sociopaths a bad name.
499
00:22:00,419 --> 00:22:01,943
So you guys helped Victor
steal the microchip?
500
00:22:02,020 --> 00:22:03,044
No. (GROANS)
501
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:05,385
See, now he's insulting
our intelligence.
502
00:22:05,490 --> 00:22:07,617
Go get the shower curtain.
This is gonna get a little messy.
503
00:22:07,693 --> 00:22:08,717
No, it's true.
504
00:22:09,895 --> 00:22:12,625
Victor and the kid pulled off
the microchip job alone.
505
00:22:12,698 --> 00:22:13,687
To send a message.
506
00:22:13,765 --> 00:22:14,823
What kind of message?
507
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:16,527
Victor was going around town
508
00:22:16,601 --> 00:22:18,865
boasting that he had the key
to any lock.
509
00:22:18,937 --> 00:22:20,029
Meaning Louis.
510
00:22:20,539 --> 00:22:23,007
The kid invented a device
that could disarm any alarm system,
511
00:22:23,075 --> 00:22:24,667
no matter how complex.
512
00:22:24,743 --> 00:22:25,835
So breaking into the Booth Tower
513
00:22:25,911 --> 00:22:27,879
put the town on notice
that Victor's services
514
00:22:27,946 --> 00:22:29,675
were available to the highest bidder.
515
00:22:29,748 --> 00:22:31,511
So Victor was using Louis.
516
00:22:32,784 --> 00:22:36,242
Only your boss, Lacey, wasn't
interested in paying Victor's price.
517
00:22:36,321 --> 00:22:39,518
So Victor ends up dead, you come here,
pick up the kid free of charge.
518
00:22:39,591 --> 00:22:40,888

- RYAN: Slaughter!

00:22:41,059 --> 00:22:42,959
Put your hands up right now!
520
00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:46,061
Do it! Now!
521
00:22:49,634 --> 00:22:50,931
Easy with that.

- Yeah.
523
00:22:52,304 --> 00:22:54,204
You have the right to remain silent.
524
00:22:54,272 --> 00:22:56,433
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Heard it all before.
525
00:22:57,609 --> 00:23:00,976
We're gonna need another unit to
transport a second suspect. Thank you.
526
00:23:01,079 --> 00:23:04,412
Espo. Espo, he didn't kill Victor.
527
00:23:04,483 --> 00:23:06,917
And if my instincts are right,
neither did Louis.
528
00:23:06,985 --> 00:23:09,317
Which means there is
a 16-year-old kid out there,
529
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:11,720
alone, with a very
dangerous crew after him.
530
00:23:11,790 --> 00:23:14,020
We're gonna need
all hands on deck to find him.
531
00:23:14,459 --> 00:23:17,087
It's not gonna happen, Castle.
Slaughter's going in.
532
00:23:17,162 --> 00:23:18,720
And you're lucky I don't arrest you, too,
533
00:23:18,797 --> 00:23:20,059
for aiding and abetting.
534
00:23:20,132 --> 00:23:21,861
- Espo, please.
- No, Castle.

00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,628
I'm not changing my mind on this.

Castle just stole our murder suspect
543

- and our car.

about our car breaking down.

- Hey. Come here.

And tell her what?
556
00:24:28,733 --> 00:24:30,758
That her husband staged a jail break
right under our noses?
557
00:24:30,836 --> 00:24:31,825
Well, technically, your nose.

Why not?
564

Two reasons. One, we're both fugitives,
565
00:24:50,088 --> 00:24:52,147

would be a terrible idea.

- What's her name?
- Maddie.

And I take it
Maddie's a fan of the opera?
573
00:25:10,242 --> 00:25:13,507
She's a mezzo-soprano
with the New York City Opera.

is that we need to find him now.

But, wait, wait,
why did you arrest Slaughter?

According to Dad,
he didn't kill Victor Lee.

- That's not the point.
- It's kind of the point.

that Slaughter killed Victor.

his IP address with Castle,
614
00:26:40,098 --> 00:26:41,690
I noticed that during
the time of the murder,
615
00:26:41,766 --> 00:26:43,290
Louis was at a coffee shop in Brooklyn.
616
00:26:43,368 --> 00:26:44,892
And a barista remembers seeing him.
617
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:47,333
Which makes David Lacey
our prime suspect.

with a trail of bodies.

got into trouble, to find you.

Wait a minute,
how did you find him here?
651
00:27:58,076 --> 00:27:59,441
I hacked his life.

00:28:00,712 --> 00:28:02,543

to get your social security number.
655
00:28:03,915 --> 00:28:05,382
After that, it was simple guess work.
656

I went through your credit cards,
your bank statements,
657
00:28:07,385 --> 00:28:08,750
and when I discovered
that you had an ex-wife

who's currently performing in Italy,
659
00:28:10,955 --> 00:28:12,286
I found it odd
that her home alarm system
660
00:28:12,357 --> 00:28:13,551
had recently been disarmed.
661
00:28:13,625 --> 00:28:15,923
I knocked down a few firewalls,
got into your ex's calendar,
662
00:28:16,061 --> 00:28:18,359
and discovered the housekeeper
doesn't come until Thursday.
663
00:28:18,430 --> 00:28:20,227
So I assumed it was you,
664
00:28:20,298 --> 00:28:22,562
I hacked her desktop's IP address
and here I am.

00:30:06,304 --> 00:30:07,771
Do you think?
696
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:13,808
Okay, chuckleheads.
697
00:30:14,145 --> 00:30:17,740
Killing a police officer is not exactly
a good addition to your rap sheet.
698
00:30:17,882 --> 00:30:19,577
Or a best-selling author.
699
00:30:19,684 --> 00:30:21,413
It's kind of hard
to charge us with murder
700
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:23,681
if nobody ever finds the bodies.
701
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:24,914
Should I take the kid out of here?
702
00:30:25,023 --> 00:30:26,115
No, let him watch.
703
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:28,156
This way he knows
what's going to happen to him
704
00:30:28,226 --> 00:30:30,751
if he doesn't do exactly what I ask.
705
00:30:31,229 --> 00:30:32,355
(SNAPS FINGERS RHYTHMICALLY)
706
00:30:35,934 --> 00:30:36,958
What the hell are you doing?
707
00:30:38,703 --> 00:30:39,692
Hey, knock it off.
708
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:43,205
Sherlock, we're gonna die here,
let's at least try to do it like men, huh?
709
00:30:43,641 --> 00:30:44,938
(SINGING)
710
00:30:54,118 --> 00:30:55,107
(SINGING)
711
00:31:06,931 --> 00:31:08,796
Will somebody
please shoot these guys!
712
00:31:09,767 --> 00:31:11,428
- Fight scene!
- Fight scene!
713
00:31:11,502 --> 00:31:12,491
(GRUNTING)
714
00:31:15,940 --> 00:31:16,929
(GROANS)
715
00:31:17,475 --> 00:31:18,601
Sorry.
716
00:31:24,148 --> 00:31:26,378
OFFICER: Don't move!
Show me your hands!
717
00:31:31,322 --> 00:31:32,414
SLAUGHTER: Is that it?
718
00:31:32,490 --> 00:31:34,856
Is that all the guys you brought?
719
00:31:42,567 --> 00:31:43,591
You think we enjoy this?
720
00:32:00,618 --> 00:32:02,643
Hey, thanks for coming for me.
721
00:32:02,820 --> 00:32:04,549
Victor wasn't wrong about you.
722
00:32:05,123 --> 00:32:07,557
Yeah, but I was wrong about Victor.
723
00:32:07,625 --> 00:32:09,684
He was a crappy role model.
724
00:32:09,761 --> 00:32:11,251
And you're a crappy singer.
(CHUCKLES)
725
00:32:13,331 --> 00:32:15,390
Hey, you nail Lacey and his crew?
726
00:32:15,466 --> 00:32:17,934
Yeah, they'll be doing
some serious time
727
00:32:18,002 --> 00:32:19,902
for kidnapping and attempted murder.
728
00:32:20,471 --> 00:32:22,598
Whoa. Why aren't they getting charged
with actual murder?
729
00:32:22,707 --> 00:32:24,106
Because none of them killed Victor.
730
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:26,672
They were at a restaurant in SoHo
at the time of Victor's homicide.
731
00:32:27,445 --> 00:32:28,844
So we're right back to square one?
732
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:29,971
Not necessarily.
733
00:32:30,114 --> 00:32:32,912
Louis, is there anything you can
remember about Victor's death?
734
00:32:33,017 --> 00:32:34,848
Nothing. I swear.
735
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:37,114
But you and Victor,
you did use your device
736
00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:39,486
to break into Booth Tower
and steal that microchip, right?
737
00:32:42,493 --> 00:32:44,358
Victor came to me
with the idea.
738
00:32:44,462 --> 00:32:46,453
All right, he was sick of living
paycheck to paycheck.
739
00:32:46,531 --> 00:32:47,862
Promised to split the profit
740
00:32:47,932 --> 00:32:50,492
that we got from selling the chip
to Booth's competitor.
741
00:32:51,035 --> 00:32:52,525
And I could take care
of my mom for once.
742
00:32:53,671 --> 00:32:56,105
But when he didn't show up for the chip,
I didn't know what to do.
743
00:32:59,377 --> 00:33:00,674
Wait, you have the chip?
744
00:33:07,352 --> 00:33:08,580
Now, was that part of the plan?
745
00:33:08,686 --> 00:33:10,051
No. And when
we were leaving the tower,
746
00:33:10,121 --> 00:33:11,611
Victor started getting all weird.
747
00:33:11,756 --> 00:33:12,882
Why? What happened?
748
00:33:13,024 --> 00:33:15,322
I don't know.
But he deviated from our plan.
749
00:33:15,393 --> 00:33:17,759
He told me to hang on to the chip,
and that he would catch up later.
750
00:33:17,862 --> 00:33:20,262
He said he had to
take care of some business.
751
00:33:20,865 --> 00:33:23,425
That was probably
part of the bigger score.
752
00:33:24,102 --> 00:33:25,194
What bigger score?
753
00:33:25,336 --> 00:33:27,099
Hate to tell you, kid,
754
00:33:27,205 --> 00:33:30,299
that break-in was never just about
stealing that microchip.
755
00:33:30,375 --> 00:33:33,811
It was an advertisement
to all the heist crews in town.
756
00:33:34,212 --> 00:33:35,304
For your invention.
757
00:33:36,781 --> 00:33:38,180
Victor was using you.
758
00:33:43,921 --> 00:33:46,685
Hey, I need to speak
to somebody in charge.
759
00:33:49,227 --> 00:33:53,061
Mr. Booth, I'm Detective Ryan,
this is Detective Esposito.
760
00:33:53,131 --> 00:33:55,725
Oh. So that's the punk
who broke into my building
761
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,597
and turned me into
a late-night punch line, huh?
762
00:33:57,702 --> 00:33:59,169
We recovered your microchip.
763
00:33:59,237 --> 00:34:01,728
Who cares? Word in private.
764
00:34:01,806 --> 00:34:02,795
Yes.
765
00:34:13,084 --> 00:34:17,646
Gentlemen, as you know,
I am a generous supporter of the NYPD.
766
00:34:17,755 --> 00:34:20,849
Be it the Policeman's Ball,
or the Widows and Orphans' Fund...
767
00:34:20,925 --> 00:34:23,052
Mr. Booth, is there something
you need from us?
768
00:34:23,127 --> 00:34:24,116
A favor.
769
00:34:24,262 --> 00:34:26,321
- A discreet one, I take it.
- Yes.
770
00:34:26,397 --> 00:34:28,331
The money I'd lose
if a rival brought a version
771
00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:30,367
of that microchip to market before me
772
00:34:30,468 --> 00:34:34,598
pales in comparison to the real fortune
that punk kid stole from my building.
773
00:34:35,006 --> 00:34:35,995
What fortune is that?
774
00:34:37,008 --> 00:34:41,638
Earlier today, $50 million was wired
from a Cayman Islands account I have.
775
00:34:42,013 --> 00:34:43,139
A private account.
776
00:34:43,281 --> 00:34:45,306
- You mean a secret account?
- Yeah.
777
00:34:45,416 --> 00:34:48,146
From my wife. It needs to stay that way.
778
00:34:48,319 --> 00:34:49,843
So I need you to do whatever it takes
779
00:34:49,921 --> 00:34:52,321
to recover my money, quietly,
to avoid further scandal.
780
00:34:52,390 --> 00:34:53,414
Do you understand?
781
00:34:53,491 --> 00:34:55,049
What makes you think
this kid stole your money?
782
00:34:55,126 --> 00:34:56,457
Well, who else could have?
783
00:34:56,527 --> 00:34:57,721
The account number,
the transfer codes,
784
00:34:57,795 --> 00:34:59,422
they were kept
in an electronic safe in my office
785
00:34:59,497 --> 00:35:02,489
two floors up from the clean room
where he stole the microchip.
786
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,067
I mean, the kid's a genius.
787
00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:06,330
He's got a device
that can open any lock, right?
788
00:35:07,138 --> 00:35:08,799
LOUIS: I don't know anything
about a Cayman account!
789
00:35:08,906 --> 00:35:10,771
And I sure as hell
didn't steal $50 million.
790
00:35:10,875 --> 00:35:12,103
Louis, come on, man,
be straight with us.
791
00:35:12,176 --> 00:35:15,202
Yeah, kid, if you took that money,
first of all, impressive.
792
00:35:15,313 --> 00:35:16,712
But more importantly,
you got to fess up.
793
00:35:16,814 --> 00:35:18,247
Look, it wasn't me!
794
00:35:18,316 --> 00:35:20,341
Guys, I think he's telling the truth.
795
00:35:20,485 --> 00:35:21,713
If Louis stole the money,
796
00:35:21,786 --> 00:35:23,549
why would he go to Slaughter
for help in the first place?
797
00:35:23,654 --> 00:35:25,246
Why would we find him
hiding in a warehouse?
798
00:35:25,356 --> 00:35:27,756
Look, Sherlock's got a point here,
kid's a genius.
799
00:35:27,825 --> 00:35:29,122
With $50 million,
800
00:35:29,193 --> 00:35:31,787
he'd drop off the face of the Earth
before we could even blink.
801
00:35:31,863 --> 00:35:36,129
Okay, Louis, is it possible that Victor
stole the codes from that safe?
802
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,189
No. No way.
803
00:35:37,268 --> 00:35:39,133
He was with me every second
we were inside that building.
804
00:35:39,203 --> 00:35:43,367
So, what are we saying here, someone
else broke into that building, too?
805
00:35:43,474 --> 00:35:44,463
Wait.
806
00:35:45,543 --> 00:35:49,343
You said that when you and Victor left
the building, he started acting strange,
807
00:35:49,413 --> 00:35:51,404
broke from the original plan
808
00:35:51,482 --> 00:35:53,416
- by giving you the microchip.
- Yeah.
809
00:35:53,551 --> 00:35:55,451
Well, maybe he did that
because he saw something.
810
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:56,646
Like what?
811
00:35:56,721 --> 00:35:57,949
Something that made him think
812
00:35:58,022 --> 00:35:59,819
that someone else
was piggybacking on the burglary
813
00:35:59,891 --> 00:36:01,483
to pull a heist of their own.
814
00:36:01,592 --> 00:36:03,025
Who else knew about your plan?
815
00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:04,118
No one.
816
00:36:04,195 --> 00:36:05,992
At least not from me.
817
00:36:06,063 --> 00:36:07,928
But maybe from Victor.
818
00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:09,188
Hey, wait a minute.
819
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:11,699
When we accessed the building's
service elevators in the basement,
820
00:36:11,769 --> 00:36:14,863
Victor wedged the door open,
but when we left, it was closed.
821
00:36:14,939 --> 00:36:16,600
I assumed it was a draft.
822
00:36:16,674 --> 00:36:18,141
It could've been a second thief.
823
00:36:18,209 --> 00:36:20,177
Hot damn, that's got to be
what spooked Victor.
824
00:36:20,244 --> 00:36:22,644
Maybe when Victor said that he had
to take care of something first,
825
00:36:22,713 --> 00:36:24,578
it was to confront this piggyback thief.
826
00:36:24,715 --> 00:36:26,910
RYAN: Which means
whoever our second burglar was
827
00:36:27,018 --> 00:36:28,918
not only knew about
the plan to rob Booth,
828
00:36:28,986 --> 00:36:31,978
but also had knowledge of where Booth
kept those codes for his secret account.
829
00:36:32,089 --> 00:36:35,422
We find that person, we find our killer.
830
00:36:38,696 --> 00:36:39,856
We're missing something, gentlemen.
831
00:36:39,931 --> 00:36:41,990
More specifically,
we're missing someone.
832
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,567
A person who knew Victor and Louis
were planning their heist,
833
00:36:45,636 --> 00:36:48,537
and had intimate knowledge
of Booth's finances.
834
00:36:48,606 --> 00:36:52,508
We'll find our killer
in the intersection of that Venn diagram.
835
00:36:52,944 --> 00:36:55,640
Only question is, who could that be?
836
00:36:57,315 --> 00:36:58,373
CASTLE: Oh, come on, Espo.
837
00:36:58,783 --> 00:37:00,683
You're not really gonna charge Louis,
are you?
838
00:37:03,454 --> 00:37:05,354
He broke the law, Castle.
It's not Monopoly.
839
00:37:05,423 --> 00:37:06,617
There's no get-out-of-jail-free card.
840
00:37:07,158 --> 00:37:08,216
SLAUGHTER: Grand theft.
841
00:37:08,292 --> 00:37:10,726
Even though he's a minor,
he's looking at real time.
842
00:37:11,395 --> 00:37:12,794
The kid never stood a chance.
843
00:37:13,264 --> 00:37:15,391
All his life, he'd been
taken advantage of by adults
844
00:37:15,466 --> 00:37:17,900
who should be
acting like his role models.
845
00:37:17,969 --> 00:37:18,993
RYAN: Hey.
846
00:37:19,570 --> 00:37:21,367
- What's up, man? You got something?
- Uh... Oh, yeah.
847
00:37:21,472 --> 00:37:23,838
While questioning Mr. Booth
about his Cayman Island accounts,
848
00:37:23,908 --> 00:37:26,433
he told me that they were set up
a mere five years ago.
849
00:37:26,510 --> 00:37:27,670
Yeah?
850
00:37:27,778 --> 00:37:29,336
- So?
- So...
851
00:37:29,447 --> 00:37:33,076
Guess who worked at the accounting
firm that originally set them up.
852
00:37:35,319 --> 00:37:37,014
I'm just glad
you guys were able to find Louis
853
00:37:37,088 --> 00:37:39,283
before something horrible
happened to him.
854
00:37:39,357 --> 00:37:41,917
Yes, we got lucky.
Please, have a seat.
855
00:37:44,595 --> 00:37:47,257
Poor kid, he's been through so much.
856
00:37:47,331 --> 00:37:50,391
You know, I'd like to testify as
a character witness on Louis' behalf
857
00:37:50,468 --> 00:37:51,560
when his case goes to trial.
858
00:37:51,636 --> 00:37:53,797
That's very kind of you, Mr. West.
859
00:37:53,871 --> 00:37:55,805
But won't you be
too busy with your own trial?
860
00:37:57,475 --> 00:37:59,136
(CHUCKLES) My trial?
What are you talking about?
861
00:37:59,510 --> 00:38:00,568
We know.
862
00:38:00,711 --> 00:38:01,837
You know what?
863
00:38:01,946 --> 00:38:05,040
Well, for starters, you didn't
always work with at-risk youth.
864
00:38:05,116 --> 00:38:07,107
No. I mean, I've had other jobs. So?
865
00:38:07,184 --> 00:38:09,448
So, you were Mr. Booth's accountant,
866
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,818
where you worked
on his most sensitive matters.
867
00:38:11,889 --> 00:38:14,449
Like setting up
tax shelters in offshore banks.
868
00:38:14,525 --> 00:38:17,551
Well, yeah.
But the work was unfulfilling, so I left
869
00:38:17,628 --> 00:38:19,095
because I wanted
to give back to the community...
870
00:38:19,163 --> 00:38:21,222
No, you wanted
to give back to Mr. Booth's wife.
871
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:23,597
But she didn't appreciate
your sexual advances,
872
00:38:23,668 --> 00:38:25,602
so Mr. Booth fired your ass.
873
00:38:25,703 --> 00:38:28,570
Yeah, you lost your job,
you lost your pension,
874
00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:30,004
all those stock options.
875
00:38:30,074 --> 00:38:32,406
All right, listen,
I know how this looks...
876
00:38:32,510 --> 00:38:34,535
Your reputation was ruined.
877
00:38:34,645 --> 00:38:37,045
The only job you could get
was working with juvenile delinquents.
878
00:38:37,181 --> 00:38:38,876
Not exactly
the cushy life you were used to.
879
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:41,383
ESPOSITO: So you heard
about Louis' invention,
880
00:38:41,485 --> 00:38:43,680
and you saw not only
a way to get back on top...
881
00:38:43,754 --> 00:38:47,520
But also get revenge on your
former boss, who ruined your life.
882
00:38:47,591 --> 00:38:50,458
That's why you convinced Victor
to pull that heist, didn't you?
883
00:38:50,528 --> 00:38:52,860
So that you could go in right behind him
884
00:38:52,930 --> 00:38:54,659
and steal those
Cayman Island bank codes.
885
00:38:55,232 --> 00:38:58,724
Well, that is an imaginative story.
886
00:38:59,503 --> 00:39:02,199
You got a surprise twist, revenge,
887
00:39:02,940 --> 00:39:05,670
all that's missing is the proof.
888
00:39:06,277 --> 00:39:08,905
Like records of the bank transfers
on your home computer?
889
00:39:09,513 --> 00:39:11,344
We got a warrant for your place, Mark.
890
00:39:11,415 --> 00:39:14,043
We also have
a credit card receipt for a cab ride
891
00:39:14,118 --> 00:39:16,848
that you took to Victor's apartment
on the night he was murdered.
892
00:39:18,389 --> 00:39:19,583
It's over, Mr. West.
893
00:39:19,657 --> 00:39:21,921
Look, Victor wasn't supposed
to know what I was doing.
894
00:39:21,992 --> 00:39:25,359
All right. But somehow he found out.
And he confronted me at his apartment.
895
00:39:25,429 --> 00:39:27,192
Now, I panicked. Okay? I...
896
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:29,890
I didn't mean to kill him.
897
00:39:30,434 --> 00:39:32,959
I... You have to believe me.
That was not...

Ah, come on, it ain't that bad, kid.

- We caught the bastard, didn't we?
- Yeah.
904
00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:51,150
But I'm still going to prison.
905
00:39:51,622 --> 00:39:53,556
How much time am I looking at?
906
00:39:53,624 --> 00:39:54,648
Maybe none.
907
00:39:55,626 --> 00:39:57,059
What? How?
908
00:39:57,161 --> 00:39:59,152
You're a good kid, Louis.
909
00:39:59,430 --> 00:40:02,922
Too good to be rotting in a cell
for a few bonehead decisions.
910
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,195
So from now on,
I'm gonna personally see to it
911
00:40:05,269 --> 00:40:07,430
that you got
someone looking out for you.
912
00:40:07,505 --> 00:40:08,699
That you got a cool role model.
913
00:40:10,207 --> 00:40:11,731
You mean Mr. Castle?
914
00:40:11,809 --> 00:40:12,833
No.
915
00:40:13,344 --> 00:40:14,333
Me.
916
00:40:15,079 --> 00:40:16,103
Really?
917
00:40:16,180 --> 00:40:17,238
You bet.
918
00:40:17,314 --> 00:40:18,975
First thing I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna use my pull
919
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:21,643
to get the Mayor to ask the DA
to reduce your sentence
920
00:40:21,752 --> 00:40:22,980
down to probation.
921
00:40:23,087 --> 00:40:24,782
You've got that kind of clout
with the Mayor?
922
00:40:24,855 --> 00:40:26,550
Hell, no, but Castle does.
923
00:40:26,624 --> 00:40:28,819
And I'm gonna see to it
that he makes that call.
924
00:40:28,893 --> 00:40:29,917
Or else.
925
00:40:30,094 --> 00:40:33,086
So you're gonna beat up Mr. Castle
if he doesn't do what you ask?

(CHUCKLES)
927

Yeah, you got a point.

are gonna have to do

00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:45,936

for each other.

00:41:01,592 --> 00:41:02,923
Um...
935
00:41:02,993 --> 00:41:05,291
I don't know.
I'm just confused about Beckett.
936
00:41:05,362 --> 00:41:06,488
That makes two of us.
937
00:41:06,564 --> 00:41:09,465
I mean, how does a hot lady like that
fall in love with a guy like you?
938
00:41:09,533 --> 00:41:11,592
Especially when there's
a real man like me running around.
939
00:41:11,702 --> 00:41:13,567
Okay, Slaughter, you know,
I'll take a lot of crap from you,
940
00:41:13,637 --> 00:41:15,229
but not about Beckett.
It's not a joke to me.
941
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,467
Just trying to get your attention,
Sherlock.
942
00:41:18,409 --> 00:41:19,842
Look, I don't know much,
943
00:41:19,977 --> 00:41:22,741
what I do know
is that lady has it bad for you.
944
00:41:22,813 --> 00:41:24,178
And you feel the same.
945
00:41:24,248 --> 00:41:25,272
Your point?
946
00:41:25,416 --> 00:41:26,644
Whatever's going on with Beckett,
947
00:41:26,717 --> 00:41:28,309
she shouldn't have
to go through it alone.
948
00:41:28,385 --> 00:41:30,546
Yes, well, I've tried.
She won't let me in.
949
00:41:30,621 --> 00:41:32,885
Then quit asking permission.
950
00:41:35,392 --> 00:41:37,053
I lost my wife
951
00:41:37,161 --> 00:41:40,790

to put her needs ahead of mine.

for all your bluster and bravado,
955
00:41:48,939 --> 00:41:52,568
you are actually a wise
and, dare I say, sensitive...

00:41:52,643 --> 00:41:54,577
Whoa! Stop right there.
