What's wrong
with being too charming?
17

Nothing, except when you are
testifying in a murder trial.
18
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:13,933
Look, being charming tells
the jury that you're confident,
19
00:01:13,975 --> 00:01:16,747
but being too charming tells them that
you're trying to be manipulative.
20

trial we're talking about.

Her reporting from Iraq

shaped the way
many Americans saw the war.
39
00:01:54,874 --> 00:01:57,977

to launch her own news website.

that closed her murder case,

if I didn't show.

How can you be so sure?
74
00:03:10,950 --> 00:03:12,783
The defendant
has a history of arrest
75
00:03:12,818 --> 00:03:15,486
for robbing high-end houses
while working as a cater waiter.
76
00:03:15,554 --> 00:03:17,321
Sadie Beakman caught her
in the act
77
00:03:17,343 --> 00:03:19,790
and the defendant killed her
in order to get away.
78
00:03:19,859 --> 00:03:21,391
Isn't that all circumstantial?
79
00:03:21,460 --> 00:03:23,794
Yes, which is why it's
a good thing I have you...
80
00:03:23,863 --> 00:03:25,129
An eyewitness.
81
00:03:25,231 --> 00:03:27,498
The defendant really should've
taken that plea deal I offered.
82
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,699
Yeah. Why didn't she?
83
00:03:28,801 --> 00:03:30,434
What do you think
their defense is gonna be?
84
00:03:30,469 --> 00:03:31,869
Don't concern yourself
with that.
85
00:03:31,971 --> 00:03:33,837
No matter how he tries
to spin the facts,
86
00:03:33,939 --> 00:03:35,172

As lovely as it is to see you in

115
00:04:45,523 --> 00:04:46,143
Your Honor,
116
00:04:46,178 --> 00:04:48,453
Mr. Novak's wife went
into premature labor last night.
117
00:04:48,695 --> 00:04:49,403
Oh, no.
118
00:04:49,466 --> 00:04:50,948
The baby's fine,
as is the mother,
119
00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:52,516
but obviously Mr. Novak
is unavailable,
120
00:04:52,585 --> 00:04:54,551
so the public defender's office
asked me to take over.
121
00:04:54,587 --> 00:04:56,987
- And you're up to speed on the case?
- Yes, Your Honor.
122
00:04:57,056 --> 00:04:59,222
Plus I did a little work
on my own this morning.
123
00:04:59,338 --> 00:05:02,272
- Any objections, Mr. Weller?
- None, Your Honor.
124
00:05:02,420 --> 00:05:05,395
Then let's proceed, shall we?

Sadie was kind, thoughtful.
She was generous.
127
00:05:09,902 --> 00:05:12,069
I would know. We were friends
for over 20 years.
128
00:05:12,137 --> 00:05:14,104
I was her cameraman back
when she was still
129
00:05:14,139 --> 00:05:16,506

before she started her website.
130
00:05:16,542 --> 00:05:19,176
Thank you, Mr. Masters.
No further questions.
131
00:05:19,245 --> 00:05:22,312
So, the murder took place at
your townhouse, is that correct?
132
00:05:22,414 --> 00:05:23,513
I'm afraid so.
133
00:05:23,549 --> 00:05:25,148
My wife and I hosted
the cocktail party
134
00:05:25,217 --> 00:05:26,450
where your client killed Sadie.
135
00:05:26,518 --> 00:05:28,785
Did you see my client kill her?
136
00:05:29,168 --> 00:05:30,687
No. No, I did not.
137
00:05:30,756 --> 00:05:33,557
Lanie: The fireplace poker
punctured the ribcage
138
00:05:33,592 --> 00:05:35,392
and nicked Mrs. Beakman's aorta,
139
00:05:35,427 --> 00:05:38,295
causing massive blood loss
and her eventual death.
140
00:05:38,364 --> 00:05:40,313
Did Mrs. Beakman
die immediately?
141
00:05:40,555 --> 00:05:42,191
It would've taken
5 to 10 minutes
142
00:05:42,244 --> 00:05:44,034
for her to succumb
to her wounds.
143
00:05:44,069 --> 00:05:47,204
Dr. Parish, would Mrs. Beakman
have been in much pain?
144
00:05:47,273 --> 00:05:49,239
Yes. Excruciating pain.
145
00:05:49,308 --> 00:05:50,607
No further questions, Your Honor.
146
00:05:50,643 --> 00:05:52,342
The defendant was on the run
until me and my partner...
147
00:05:52,411 --> 00:05:54,544
Until my partner and I caught up
with her at Grand Central Terminal.
148
00:05:54,647 --> 00:05:56,613
And... and did my client confess?
149
00:05:56,715 --> 00:05:58,545
No. She didn't make a statement.
150
00:05:58,619 --> 00:05:59,750
- The only thing she said...
- The only thing she said
151
00:05:59,818 --> 00:06:01,952
was that she wanted to speak
with a lawyer.
152
00:06:03,622 --> 00:06:05,965
The people call Richard Castle.
153
00:06:15,042 --> 00:06:16,414
Raise your right hand.
154
00:06:16,604 --> 00:06:18,101
Oh, sorry.
This is the right hand.
155
00:06:18,503 --> 00:06:20,028
[Light laughter] Bailiff: Do you swear
to tell the truth, the whole truth,
156
00:06:20,049 --> 00:06:22,139
- and nothing but the truth?
- I do.
157
00:06:23,564 --> 00:06:26,143
Mr. Castle, what is it
that you do for a living?
158
00:06:26,211 --> 00:06:27,785
I'm a murder-mystery novelist.
159
00:06:27,859 --> 00:06:29,063
Have you held any other jobs?
160
00:06:29,115 --> 00:06:31,588
Yeah, six years
as a civilian investigator
161
00:06:31,672 --> 00:06:35,208
working with the NYPD,
homicides for the 12th precinct.
162
00:06:35,292 --> 00:06:37,118
So, you're a bit of an expert
163
00:06:37,202 --> 00:06:38,288
when it comes
to solving murders?
164
00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:40,290
Yes, and I use that expertise
165
00:06:40,359 --> 00:06:42,559
to lend authenticity
to my novels.
166
00:06:42,594 --> 00:06:46,163
Now, what brought you to the
home of Roger and Joanna Masters
167
00:06:46,265 --> 00:06:48,832
on the evening of September 14th
five months ago?
168
00:06:48,901 --> 00:06:50,500
Joanna Masters won a charity auction
169
00:06:50,536 --> 00:06:52,703
to have me come to her home
and do a private reading
170
00:06:52,771 --> 00:06:54,304
of "Driving Heat," my latest novel,
171
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:56,215

00:06:58,811 --> 00:07:00,844
Richard Castle... In my home.
174
00:07:00,913 --> 00:07:02,279
It is a pleasure to meet you.
175
00:07:02,348 --> 00:07:04,208
Oh, I just adore your books.
176
00:07:04,261 --> 00:07:05,897
I mean, Nikki Heat
is, like, my role model.
177
00:07:05,971 --> 00:07:08,452
- I love her.
- Me, too. You are too kind.
178
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,354
- And you are too cute.
- Keep talking.
179
00:07:10,422 --> 00:07:13,090
[Laughs]
Please come in, come in.
180
00:07:13,192 --> 00:07:14,391
[Indistinct conversations] Oh.
181
00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:16,059
Like you to meet
my husband, Roger.
182
00:07:16,161 --> 00:07:17,160
- Richard.
- Nice to meet you.
183
00:07:17,229 --> 00:07:18,195
- Welcome.
- Thank you.
184
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:19,499
And, uh...
These are the Beakmans.
185
00:07:19,565 --> 00:07:21,412
Castle:
That's when I met Sadie Beakman.
186
00:07:21,531 --> 00:07:24,328
Sadie, Lloyd, and
their lovely daughter, Annie.
187
00:07:24,354 --> 00:07:25,902
- Richard. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
188
00:07:25,971 --> 00:07:27,938
I'm sure you recognize Sadie
189
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,639
from her Iraq war news reports,
190
00:07:29,708 --> 00:07:32,275
but she also owns and operates
beakmanreport.com.
191
00:07:32,344 --> 00:07:34,277
After meeting
the soon-to-be victim,
192
00:07:34,346 --> 00:07:35,912
I met the soon-to-be killer.
193
00:07:35,981 --> 00:07:38,048
Champagne?
194
00:07:38,117 --> 00:07:39,616
Thank you so much
for being here.
195
00:07:39,718 --> 00:07:40,984
Thank you for having me.
196
00:07:41,053 --> 00:07:43,420
Sorry about the small poster.
I ran out of the big ones.
197
00:07:43,455 --> 00:07:44,788
[Light laughter]
198
00:07:44,823 --> 00:07:47,958
"Driving Heat," written by... this guy.
199
00:07:47,993 --> 00:07:49,397
[Laughter]
200
00:07:49,714 --> 00:07:52,095
"The last thing Nikki Heat expected
201
00:07:52,131 --> 00:07:54,664
when she received her promotion
up to captain of the NYPD..."
202
00:07:54,733 --> 00:07:57,634
After the reading,
I needed to use the restroom.
203
00:07:57,669 --> 00:07:59,703
[Handle rattles]
204
00:07:59,772 --> 00:08:01,805
Man: Sorry, I'm gonna be a while.
205
00:08:01,907 --> 00:08:04,741
So I went to use
the facilities upstairs.
206
00:08:04,843 --> 00:08:06,243
Stop!
207
00:08:07,004 --> 00:08:10,540
That's when I saw the defendant
kill Sadie Beakman.
208
00:08:10,698 --> 00:08:13,116
Let the record reflect
the witness has identified
209
00:08:13,185 --> 00:08:16,987
the defendant, Nina O'Keefe,
as the woman in question.
210
00:08:17,479 --> 00:08:19,456
Nothing further, Your Honor.
211
00:08:19,931 --> 00:08:21,620
Mr. Brown, your witness.
212
00:08:21,778 --> 00:08:24,161
Mr. Castle, I-i don't want to
take up too much of your time.
213
00:08:24,263 --> 00:08:25,996
I only have
a handful of questions.
214
00:08:26,098 --> 00:08:28,131
First... is it possible
215
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,233
that my client did not kill
Mrs. Beakman?
216
00:08:30,335 --> 00:08:31,868
Oh, no. It was definitely her.
217
00:08:31,904 --> 00:08:35,294
And you remember the events
of the evening clearly?
218
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,011
Because I know that you have
a history of memory loss.
219
00:08:38,104 --> 00:08:41,311
Objection, Your Honor.
Goes to credibility.
220
00:08:41,380 --> 00:08:43,146
I'll allow it.
221
00:08:43,215 --> 00:08:47,083
Brown: Mr. Castle, is it true
that on may 12, 2014,
222
00:08:47,152 --> 00:08:49,779
you were abducted
by parties still unknown
223
00:08:49,884 --> 00:08:52,556
and then returned 8 weeks later?
224
00:08:52,658 --> 00:08:53,790
Yes.
225
00:08:53,859 --> 00:08:55,158
And you still have memory loss?
226
00:08:55,227 --> 00:08:57,527
Only of those eight weeks.
227
00:08:57,596 --> 00:09:00,931
My memory of your client killing
Mrs. Beakman is crystal clear.
228
00:09:00,999 --> 00:09:02,599
But how can you be sure?
229
00:09:02,701 --> 00:09:04,468
Because I was an eyewitness.
230
00:09:04,570 --> 00:09:06,303
Ah. So glad
that you used that word.
231
00:09:06,405 --> 00:09:07,904
Eyewitness.
232
00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:13,176
Now, Mr. Castle, you gave
a reading of "Driving Heat"
233
00:09:13,278 --> 00:09:14,711
on the evening in question,
234
00:09:14,813 --> 00:09:16,655
the continuing adventures of Nikki Heat.
235
00:09:16,734 --> 00:09:19,228
Might you humor the court and
just give us a short reading?
236
00:09:19,281 --> 00:09:22,605
Just the highlighted section,
if you please.
237
00:09:26,625 --> 00:09:29,394
"Nikki had seen it often,
as every cop had.
238
00:09:29,460 --> 00:09:31,161
Otherwise-reliable eyewitnesses
239
00:09:31,230 --> 00:09:33,997
conflate or confuse details
that seem indelible
240
00:09:34,032 --> 00:09:37,100
to those not caught up
in the trauma of the incident."
241
00:09:37,169 --> 00:09:39,269
According to previous testimony,
242
00:09:39,338 --> 00:09:41,638
you use your expertise
with the NYPD
243
00:09:41,707 --> 00:09:43,974
to add authenticity
to your stories.
244
00:09:44,076 --> 00:09:45,509
Is that correct?
245
00:09:45,577 --> 00:09:47,644
The defendant killed Mrs. Beakman.
246
00:09:47,746 --> 00:09:48,912
I know what I saw.
247
00:09:48,981 --> 00:09:53,185
Just like you knew what you saw
on February 2, 2015?
248
00:09:54,610 --> 00:09:57,153
Mr. Castle, did you give a statement
249
00:09:57,256 --> 00:09:59,789
to a Detective Neely
of Westchester P.D.
250
00:09:59,858 --> 00:10:02,359
That you were an eyewitness
to the murder of Eva Whitfield
251
00:10:02,394 --> 00:10:04,012
and that her husband, Cole, was the killer?
252
00:10:04,091 --> 00:10:04,738
Yes, I did...
253
00:10:04,777 --> 00:10:07,631
- And was Cole Whitfield the killer?
- No.
254
00:10:07,733 --> 00:10:09,599
So you've been wrong before.
255
00:10:09,701 --> 00:10:11,368
That incident was a setup.
256
00:10:11,470 --> 00:10:13,003
What happened to Mrs. Beakman
was not.
257
00:10:13,071 --> 00:10:14,604
I saw the defendant kill her.
258
00:10:14,673 --> 00:10:17,720
Says the man whose own writings
259
00:10:17,786 --> 00:10:20,847
speak to the unreliability
of eyewitnesses,
260
00:10:20,900 --> 00:10:23,842
a man who has given false
eyewitness statements in the past,
261
00:10:23,894 --> 00:10:27,760
a man with a history
of memory loss.
262
00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:31,988
- Marcus... Help him.
- Don't you think I would if I could?
263
00:10:32,057 --> 00:10:34,157
Mr. Castle, let's pretend
264
00:10:34,226 --> 00:10:36,493
that you're a character out
of one of your novels.
265
00:10:36,562 --> 00:10:38,828
Would Nikki Heat think that
you were a reliable witness?
266
00:10:38,897 --> 00:10:41,765
That is a ridiculous question,
and yes, she would.
267
00:10:41,833 --> 00:10:43,366
I'm disappointed in you, Mr. Castle.
268
00:10:43,502 --> 00:10:44,701
I thought you of all people
269
00:10:44,770 --> 00:10:46,475
would be sympathetic to my client.
270
00:10:46,594 --> 00:10:49,826
Weren't you once framed
for murder?
271
00:10:50,974 --> 00:10:55,090
That... yeah, that was 3XK,
the serial killer.
272
00:10:55,156 --> 00:10:56,780
He had a vendetta against me.
273
00:10:56,882 --> 00:10:58,615
That... that was...
That was different.
274
00:10:58,684 --> 00:11:01,518
W-why is it different for you
but not for my client?
275
00:11:01,772 --> 00:11:04,621
What makes you so special,
Mr. Castle?
276
00:11:04,675 --> 00:11:07,457
Dr. parish testified
that the victim, Mrs. Beakman,
277
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,627
was alive for 5 to 10 minutes
after being stabbed
278
00:11:10,729 --> 00:11:13,252
and in excruciating pain.
279
00:11:13,383 --> 00:11:16,866
Might it be that my client
simply came across the victim
280
00:11:16,969 --> 00:11:19,536
after the true killer
stabbed her and fled?
281
00:11:19,638 --> 00:11:22,205
But that... this is not
one of your stories, sir!
282
00:11:22,307 --> 00:11:24,649
You do not get to make up
the facts as you see fit.
283
00:11:24,689 --> 00:11:26,876
Now, my client is fighting
for her life
284
00:11:26,945 --> 00:11:29,245
just as you once fought
for yours against 3XK.
285
00:11:29,348 --> 00:11:33,650
So, now I ask you one last time,
is it possible, Mr. Castle,
286
00:11:33,752 --> 00:11:37,887
that my client did not kill
Mrs. Beakman?
287
00:11:41,226 --> 00:11:43,460
- Yes, it's possible.
- Yes.
288
00:11:43,595 --> 00:11:47,097
Yes, it is possible.
Possible that you are wrong.
289
00:11:47,163 --> 00:11:49,666

I don't know what happened.

- No, no, no, no.

00:12:45,099 --> 00:12:47,044
Beckett, I just blew
the entire case.
307
00:12:47,268 --> 00:12:49,630
Well, the trial's not over yet,
right, Marcus?
308
00:12:49,696 --> 00:12:52,038
Look, I'm not gonna lie to you.
We got a serious problem now.
309
00:12:52,140 --> 00:12:54,774
Castle, you've just given
the jury reasonable doubt.
310
00:12:54,876 --> 00:12:56,839
But there's got to be
something we can do, right?
311
00:12:56,944 --> 00:12:58,344
Well, we have until
court resumes tomorrow morning
312
00:12:58,413 --> 00:12:59,745
to find new evidence
313

or another witness
who can prove Nina's guilt.
314
00:13:01,883 --> 00:13:04,083
Yes. However,
what can you possibly uncover
315
00:13:04,152 --> 00:13:05,217
in less than 16 hours?
316
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,970
I don't know.
But we have to try.

Esposito: How many more times do we
have to go through these case files?
318

00:13:14,262 --> 00:13:16,529
Beckett, we got stacks and stacks
of hay here but no needles.
320
00:13:16,631 --> 00:13:18,722
I think we need a new strategy.
321
00:13:18,906 --> 00:13:21,400
I can't believe
how badly I blew it out there.
322
00:13:21,469 --> 00:13:23,235
This is my fault, guys.
I'm sorry.
323
00:13:23,338 --> 00:13:24,804
Don't do that to yourself.
324

We've all been tripped up
on the witness stand.
325
00:13:27,117 --> 00:13:28,911
True. Back when I
was in uniform,
326
00:13:29,003 --> 00:13:31,177
a defense attorney
got my head so turned around
327
00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:33,412
that I testified the defendant
actually kicked my ass
328
00:13:33,514 --> 00:13:34,832
when I tried to arrest her.
329
00:13:35,096 --> 00:13:36,481
What's wrong with that?
330
00:13:37,885 --> 00:13:41,320
The defendant was a 75-year-old
woman in a wheelchair.
331
00:13:41,422 --> 00:13:43,196
I lost all credibility with the jury.
332

To this day, we pass the park
where she feeds the birds,
333

she snickers, turns to her
nurse, and tells her the tale

testimony in a murder trial?
337
00:14:04,013 --> 00:14:05,438
Exactly.
338
00:14:05,728 --> 00:14:07,413
Hey, Espo,
that story about Ms. Lucinda...
339
00:14:07,515 --> 00:14:10,516
So she still talks about
how she made a fool out of you.
340
00:14:10,618 --> 00:14:13,319
Yes. Thank you for rubbing it
in, Captain Beckett.

00:14:18,393 --> 00:14:21,627
whereas we should be looking for
a clue from after the murder.
344
00:14:21,729 --> 00:14:25,009
Yes. Nina's been held
since her arrest.
345
00:14:25,101 --> 00:14:27,208
She might've confessed something
to a cellmate.
346
00:14:27,274 --> 00:14:29,368
- Let's bring Nina's cellmate in.
- Mm.
347
00:14:31,272 --> 00:14:32,605
Hey, thank you.
348
00:14:32,707 --> 00:14:33,606
For what?
349
00:14:33,708 --> 00:14:35,141
For not giving up on me.
350
00:14:35,243 --> 00:14:37,777
Well, you've never given up
on me, so...
351
00:14:39,414 --> 00:14:40,646
Castle, wait.
352
00:14:40,748 --> 00:14:41,647
Uh, not here.
353
00:14:41,749 --> 00:14:43,959
Oh, right. Separated. Oh.
354
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:45,918
Are you okay?
Do you have allergies?
355
00:14:46,020 --> 00:14:48,220
No, that's the...
That's the signal. That's the...
356
00:14:48,289 --> 00:14:51,157
Oh, yes. You really should think
of something better.
357
00:14:51,259 --> 00:14:53,325
- It's adorable.
- Mnh-mnh.
358
00:14:54,895 --> 00:14:57,296
Damn.
That's a good photo of Nina.
359
00:14:57,494 --> 00:14:59,895
You know, in my mug shot,
I look like a train wreck.
360
00:15:00,013 --> 00:15:01,333
Probably because I was
high on crack at the time.
361
00:15:01,402 --> 00:15:02,635
Just answer the question.
362
00:15:02,704 --> 00:15:04,904
Has Nina revealed anything
about the murder?
363
00:15:04,972 --> 00:15:08,607
Yep. Between the three of us,
she's guilty as hell.
364
00:15:09,385 --> 00:15:10,994
What do you know?
365
00:15:11,913 --> 00:15:14,580
[Sighs]
366
00:15:15,717 --> 00:15:18,317
Ryan: Okay, Bridget,
what do you want?
367
00:15:18,386 --> 00:15:20,219
Oh, what does any girl want, Detective?
368
00:15:20,254 --> 00:15:22,755
The personal satisfaction
of bringing a killer to justice?
369
00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:25,491
50 bucks in my prison commissary
every week for the next 10 weeks.
370
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,226
40 bucks for 5 weeks.
371
00:15:27,261 --> 00:15:29,095
Eight, and that's as low
as I'll go.
372
00:15:29,130 --> 00:15:31,097
Deal. But you better have
some solid information.
373
00:15:31,165 --> 00:15:34,439
Now, has Nina confessed
to the murder?
374
00:15:34,531 --> 00:15:35,336
No.
375
00:15:35,441 --> 00:15:37,069
But I know she did it.
376
00:15:37,138 --> 00:15:39,038
Look, here's the deal with Nina.
377
00:15:39,107 --> 00:15:40,940
She's a mouse.
Doesn't talk much.
378
00:15:40,975 --> 00:15:42,408
Then one day she lets slip
she's worried
379
00:15:42,443 --> 00:15:44,076
the prosecution might find out
about her secret.
380
00:15:44,145 --> 00:15:46,879
- What secret?
- Didn't say.
381
00:15:47,610 --> 00:15:49,982
I think it has to do
with her boyfriend or something.
382
00:15:50,235 --> 00:15:51,726
What boyfriend?
383
00:15:53,401 --> 00:15:54,720
If Nina has a secret boyfriend
out there,
384
00:15:54,789 --> 00:15:56,956
- there's a chance she confessed to him.
- Yeah.
385
00:15:57,024 --> 00:15:58,624
No, I'm just
trying to figure out
386
00:15:58,659 --> 00:16:00,805
who Nina was dating
when she was arrested.
387
00:16:01,121 --> 00:16:03,662
Am I working with the police?
No. No, no.
388
00:16:03,731 --> 00:16:05,898
I went to high school with Nina.
389
00:16:05,967 --> 00:16:09,602
What school? Uh... Taft?
390
00:16:09,704 --> 00:16:11,403
Hello? Uh...
391
00:16:11,506 --> 00:16:12,605
None of Nina's people
392
00:16:12,673 --> 00:16:13,839
are gonna help us
build a case against her.
393
00:16:13,908 --> 00:16:15,541
We're gonna have to
figure out a different way
394
00:16:15,610 --> 00:16:17,109
to identify Nina's boyfriend.
395
00:16:17,178 --> 00:16:19,011
I just did. Follow me.
396
00:16:19,354 --> 00:16:20,880
So, I went through
Nina's financials.
397
00:16:20,982 --> 00:16:23,182
It turns out
the night before the murder,
398
00:16:23,251 --> 00:16:25,751
Nina bought drinks
at a bar on the East Village.
399
00:16:25,853 --> 00:16:28,354
Now, that bar went out
of business.
400
00:16:28,422 --> 00:16:30,523
However, the hotel next door
401
00:16:30,558 --> 00:16:33,547
had surveillance footage
from that night.
402
00:16:33,626 --> 00:16:34,794
Look.
403
00:16:34,829 --> 00:16:38,097
Now, bear in mind, this is the
night before Nina killed Sadie.
404
00:16:38,547 --> 00:16:40,800
There's Nina.
Is Nina's boyfriend in this?
405
00:16:40,902 --> 00:16:43,569
Not her boyfriend. Wait for it.
406
00:16:43,671 --> 00:16:45,671
Her girlfriend.
407
00:16:46,707 --> 00:16:47,835
Sadie!
408
00:16:47,953 --> 00:16:49,441
Yep.
409
00:16:53,114 --> 00:16:55,915
[High-pitched voice] The victim and
the killer were having an affair?!
410
00:16:56,227 --> 00:16:58,584
Why is my voice so high?
[Clears throat]
411
00:17:06,555 --> 00:17:07,921
Weller: You see, Beckett?
412
00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:10,490
This is why I love
the 12th precinct.
413
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:11,825
You guys never let me down.
414
00:17:11,894 --> 00:17:14,127
This recording gives you
new motive for murder,
415
00:17:14,196 --> 00:17:15,161
and it's ironclad.
416
00:17:15,230 --> 00:17:17,197
Nina and Sadie
were having an affair.
417
00:17:17,232 --> 00:17:18,932
Clearly, they were fighting,
418
00:17:18,967 --> 00:17:21,801
and Nina most likely killed her
in a crime of passion.
419
00:17:21,837 --> 00:17:23,670
Okay. I will have
my people track down
420
00:17:23,772 --> 00:17:25,138
former employees of this bar,
421
00:17:25,207 --> 00:17:27,707
and hopefully one of them
can corroborate the affair.
422
00:17:27,743 --> 00:17:29,009
Okay, and I'll have my team
423
00:17:29,077 --> 00:17:30,710
touch base with Sadie's
family and friends.
424
00:17:30,746 --> 00:17:33,877
Maybe they can shed some light as to
what was behind this little love affair.
425
00:17:36,952 --> 00:17:40,620
You see, Marcus?
And you were worried.
426
00:17:40,689 --> 00:17:41,888
[Chuckles]
427
00:17:43,825 --> 00:17:46,660
Okay, boys,
we found Nina's coffin.
428
00:17:46,728 --> 00:17:48,295
Now let's nail it shut.
429
00:17:48,363 --> 00:17:50,163
I'll talk to Nina's employees.
430
00:17:50,265 --> 00:17:52,666
I'll go talk with her friends.
431
00:17:56,447 --> 00:17:59,105
Sadie was having an affair
with that woman?
432
00:17:59,174 --> 00:18:00,507
That is so twisted.
433
00:18:00,575 --> 00:18:03,109
Well, you never know what
goes on behind closed doors.
434
00:18:03,145 --> 00:18:05,578
So you knew nothing about
Sadie's extramarital affairs?
435
00:18:05,614 --> 00:18:07,347
She was good at keeping secrets.
436
00:18:07,382 --> 00:18:10,116
Then why hire the catering
company that Nina worked for?
437
00:18:10,185 --> 00:18:11,200
Sadie's recommendation.
438
00:18:11,239 --> 00:18:12,730
She went to an event
that they catered,
439
00:18:12,783 --> 00:18:14,089
said the food was amazing.
440
00:18:14,129 --> 00:18:17,506
I bet that's
how Sadie and Nina met.
441
00:18:17,585 --> 00:18:19,023
What do you think, Richard?
442
00:18:19,195 --> 00:18:20,493
Entirely possible.
443
00:18:20,529 --> 00:18:23,997
See! I told you I was a Nikki Heat fan.
I even think like her, too.
444
00:18:24,066 --> 00:18:25,956
- It's uncanny.
- [Chuckling] I know.
445
00:18:26,035 --> 00:18:28,317
It's good that you moved the basketball
hoop away from the townhouse.
446
00:18:28,370 --> 00:18:31,237
Oh, yeah, those things, they're just an
invitation for burglars to break in.
447
00:18:31,306 --> 00:18:33,406
Or murderers like Nina
to break out.
448
00:18:33,475 --> 00:18:36,176
Well, we always keep
the hoop there. Nina moved it.
449
00:18:36,228 --> 00:18:39,779
Yeah, we didn't even realize that she
had until the day after the murder.
450
00:18:39,848 --> 00:18:41,648
How are you sure
it was Nina that moved it?
451
00:18:41,717 --> 00:18:43,920
Well, if it wasn't her,
452
00:18:43,972 --> 00:18:46,686
who else could it have been?
453
00:18:47,416 --> 00:18:48,822
Ryan, a moment?
454
00:18:48,890 --> 00:18:50,323
Excuse us.
455
00:18:52,594 --> 00:18:54,194
The basketball hoop being moved
456
00:18:54,296 --> 00:18:55,528
speaks to a premeditative act.
457
00:18:55,564 --> 00:18:57,163
Yeah, but our theory
of this whole thing
458
00:18:57,232 --> 00:18:58,965
is a crime of passion.
What are you thinking?
459
00:18:59,034 --> 00:19:00,786
That we don't know
the whole story.
460
00:19:00,852 --> 00:19:04,716
Someone else was up here
before I caught Nina over Sadie.
461
00:19:04,795 --> 00:19:06,035
Please tell me you're joking.
462
00:19:06,114 --> 00:19:08,575
The fact the basketball hoop
was moved is significant
463
00:19:08,610 --> 00:19:10,942
because Nina didn't have
any reason to do it.
464
00:19:11,431 --> 00:19:14,014
Kate... Why am I back here?
465
00:19:14,116 --> 00:19:15,949
Marcus, this is
a legitimate concern.
466
00:19:16,018 --> 00:19:18,099
If Nina didn't move the hoop,
then who did and why?
467
00:19:18,165 --> 00:19:21,788
Let's stick with what we know.
Castle saw Nina kill Sadie.
468
00:19:21,890 --> 00:19:22,956
End of story.
469
00:19:23,025 --> 00:19:25,487
I'm not actually 100% sure
about that anymore.
470
00:19:25,566 --> 00:19:29,129
Wait. Don't tell me you're buying
into Caleb's ridiculous defense.
471
00:19:29,197 --> 00:19:32,130
Rick, you got your bell rung
in court today. It happens.
472
00:19:32,235 --> 00:19:34,200
Caleb Brown
is a hell of an attorney.
473
00:19:34,269 --> 00:19:35,402
Now you got to let it go.
474
00:19:35,470 --> 00:19:36,813
So you're not
going to investigate?
475
00:19:36,892 --> 00:19:39,359
You saw the tape.
They were having an affair.
476
00:19:39,412 --> 00:19:43,276
It's a crime of passion. Nina
is guilty, plain and simple.
477
00:19:43,345 --> 00:19:45,011
Don't we have to be sure?
478
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,314
Rick, look at me. I'm sure.
479
00:19:48,383 --> 00:19:49,686
- Marcus, if we could just...
- Stop.
480
00:19:49,752 --> 00:19:51,351
This case cannot afford
481
00:19:51,420 --> 00:19:54,238
to have you pour any
more doubt into people's ears.
482
00:19:58,168 --> 00:20:00,894
Listen, I know
you two are separated and all,
483
00:20:00,929 --> 00:20:03,396
- but could you please talk to him?
- Mm-hmm.
484
00:20:11,907 --> 00:20:13,991
Castle, are you sure
that Nina's innocent?
485
00:20:14,268 --> 00:20:15,608
I don't know.
486
00:20:16,181 --> 00:20:19,096
But what's worse than letting
a guilty person go free?
487
00:20:19,677 --> 00:20:21,866
Sending an innocent one to jail.
488
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:23,983
All right.
489
00:20:24,086 --> 00:20:27,104
Go home. I'll swing by later.
490
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,782
Martha: So you don't trust
what you saw?
491
00:20:29,848 --> 00:20:32,125
I don't know that I can anymore.
492
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,763
I just... keep running it
in my head over and over again.
493
00:20:36,798 --> 00:20:39,830
And you think Nina was just
trying to help this poor woman?
494
00:20:39,935 --> 00:20:41,801
Nina's back was to me.
495
00:20:41,870 --> 00:20:44,904
I didn't actually see
the death blow. I...
496
00:20:45,006 --> 00:20:46,439
You got to believe me, you guys.
497
00:20:46,541 --> 00:20:48,074
I-it really looked
like she did it.
498
00:20:48,143 --> 00:20:49,770
Martha: Mm-hmm.
Well, I believe you.
499
00:20:49,810 --> 00:20:52,812
It's just honestly it sounds
to me like Nina killed her.
500
00:20:52,914 --> 00:20:55,641
Me too. I have to
find out for sure.
501
00:20:55,733 --> 00:20:57,550
Dad, there's no way to do that.
502
00:20:57,619 --> 00:20:59,414
I know.
503
00:21:00,589 --> 00:21:02,086
Or is there?
504
00:21:03,036 --> 00:21:04,057
I've got it.
505
00:21:04,126 --> 00:21:05,252
And I'd only have to do two things.
506
00:21:05,318 --> 00:21:07,838
One, delay the trial so I have
a chance to investigate,
507
00:21:07,891 --> 00:21:10,997
and two, have a one-on-one
conversation with Nina.
508
00:21:11,532 --> 00:21:13,600
Uh, Nina's lawyer
will never allow it.
509
00:21:13,668 --> 00:21:15,423
Which is why I'm
going to have to be very clever
510
00:21:15,436 --> 00:21:16,544
with how I go about this.
511
00:21:16,584 --> 00:21:18,438
I take it you have a plan.
512
00:21:18,540 --> 00:21:20,006
You know I do, mother.
513
00:21:20,108 --> 00:21:21,841
Might I ask you what it is?
514
00:21:21,943 --> 00:21:24,177
I'm gonna get thrown in jail.
515
00:21:30,398 --> 00:21:31,414
[Knock on door] Yes?
516
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,461
Good morning, Your Honor.
517
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:36,994
Mr. Castle,
you can't be in here.
518
00:21:37,120 --> 00:21:38,253
And yet here I am.
519
00:21:38,321 --> 00:21:40,622
Your Honor, I was made a fool of
yesterday on the stand.
520
00:21:40,657 --> 00:21:44,025
I have a reputation to protect,
so I would like... a do-over.
521
00:21:44,778 --> 00:21:46,348
- A do-over?
- A do-over.
522
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,530
Okay, two things.
One... that's stupid.
523
00:21:48,598 --> 00:21:51,399
And two... your presence in my
chambers is highly unethical.
524
00:21:51,435 --> 00:21:53,489
I could hold you
in contempt of court for this.
525
00:21:53,528 --> 00:21:57,238
Well, I would like to...
See you try.
526
00:22:00,077 --> 00:22:00,692
[Beeps]
527
00:22:00,771 --> 00:22:03,378
Reggie, come in here, please.
528
00:22:04,438 --> 00:22:07,148
Mr. Castle, I'm aware of your
friendship with the mayor,
529
00:22:07,217 --> 00:22:11,226
so even though you don't deserve
it, I'm gonna let you go.
530
00:22:11,450 --> 00:22:14,168
Reggie, escort him out
of the building, please.
531
00:22:16,833 --> 00:22:19,894
Oh. Your Honor,
I see you attended law school
532
00:22:19,996 --> 00:22:22,230
- at Hudson University.
- Mm.
533
00:22:22,332 --> 00:22:23,832
That explains why
you're so bad at your job.
534
00:22:23,934 --> 00:22:25,600
Excuse me?
535
00:22:25,669 --> 00:22:27,368
Yes, you see, uh, everyone knows
536
00:22:27,437 --> 00:22:29,104
only criminals attend
Hudson University.
537
00:22:29,139 --> 00:22:32,340
I myself have solved
three homicides there.
538
00:22:32,409 --> 00:22:34,275
[Telephone rings]
539
00:22:34,344 --> 00:22:35,243
Hello?
540
00:22:35,312 --> 00:22:36,878
Martha: Gloria Wollcott, please.
541
00:22:36,980 --> 00:22:38,046
Speaking.
542
00:22:38,115 --> 00:22:40,915
Yes, this is
Tri-Mountain Security calling.
543
00:22:40,984 --> 00:22:43,485
The alarm on your
Connecticut home was triggered.
544
00:22:43,553 --> 00:22:45,186
The officer responded,
545
00:22:45,288 --> 00:22:46,654
and I'm afraid the report
546
00:22:46,757 --> 00:22:48,823
is that your residence
was burglarized.
547
00:22:48,925 --> 00:22:50,825
What?! Okay, I'm on my way.
548
00:22:50,894 --> 00:22:53,061
My house has been burglarized.
549
00:22:53,130 --> 00:22:56,264
Your Honor, you know who I am
and what I'm capable of doing.
550
00:22:56,366 --> 00:22:57,966
I can find those burglars for you.
551
00:22:58,034 --> 00:23:00,034
How? Well, first I
would need a listing
552
00:23:00,070 --> 00:23:03,116
of all the Hudson University students
and alumnus in the tri-state area.
553
00:23:03,617 --> 00:23:04,539
Okay, that's it.
554
00:23:04,641 --> 00:23:07,298
Contempt. Have him thrown
into a holding cell.
555
00:23:08,525 --> 00:23:10,745
[Door buzzes]
556
00:23:14,017 --> 00:23:16,384
[Door buzzes]
557
00:23:21,825 --> 00:23:24,859
Hey, my trial was supposed
to begin like five minutes ago.
558
00:23:24,929 --> 00:23:25,602
What's going on?
559
00:23:25,681 --> 00:23:27,330
Judge postponed your trial until tomorrow.
560
00:23:27,422 --> 00:23:30,565
You'll be transported back
to rikers at the end of the day.
561
00:23:30,634 --> 00:23:31,966
Castle: Hey.
562
00:23:32,330 --> 00:23:33,501
So, what are you in for?
563
00:23:34,335 --> 00:23:35,804
[Scoffs] Sorry, bad joke.
564
00:23:35,906 --> 00:23:37,752
[Door closes]
Don't talk to me.
565
00:23:38,750 --> 00:23:41,976
Nina, look, I know
about the affair with Sadie.
566
00:23:42,602 --> 00:23:45,742
The A.D.A. knows it, too.
He is gonna use it to bury you.
567
00:23:45,847 --> 00:23:47,215
Why are you telling me this?
568
00:23:47,250 --> 00:23:51,019
I was there, Nina. I saw you.
I saw you with my own eyes.
569
00:23:51,087 --> 00:23:53,388
I didn't kill Sadie!
I loved her.
570
00:23:53,456 --> 00:23:55,657
So, yeah, you were there,
but you saw it wrong.
571
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:56,958
So tell me what I missed.
572
00:23:57,060 --> 00:24:00,695
I found Sadie on the ground.
Someone had already stabbed her.
573
00:24:00,764 --> 00:24:04,265
She was struggling to breathe,
so I pulled the poker out.
574
00:24:04,334 --> 00:24:06,945
I was trying to help her.
575
00:24:07,447 --> 00:24:08,670
So then why did you run?
576
00:24:08,726 --> 00:24:11,105
I knew how it looked.
I panicked.
577
00:24:11,141 --> 00:24:13,374
Why didn't you tell that to
the police when they caught you?
578
00:24:13,410 --> 00:24:17,499
Please. I've been arrested
before, and I got screwed over.
579
00:24:17,565 --> 00:24:20,326
You know why? Because
none of the cops believed me.
580
00:24:20,444 --> 00:24:22,684
I wasn't gonna make
the same mistake twice.
581
00:24:22,752 --> 00:24:24,919
- Did you at least tell your lawyer?
- Of course.
582
00:24:24,988 --> 00:24:28,489
I told my original public
defender all about the affair,
583
00:24:28,525 --> 00:24:30,651
but he said it'd just
come across as motive.
584
00:24:30,678 --> 00:24:33,061
Surprise, surprise. It did.
585
00:24:33,949 --> 00:24:35,096
What about the fight?
586
00:24:35,165 --> 00:24:36,998
The fight you had with Sadie
outside the bar
587
00:24:37,067 --> 00:24:38,333
the night before the murder?
588
00:24:38,435 --> 00:24:39,868
It was nothing.
589
00:24:40,071 --> 00:24:41,269
Nina...
590
00:24:41,667 --> 00:24:43,037
Nina.
591
00:24:43,106 --> 00:24:44,973
I think you're telling the truth,
592
00:24:45,041 --> 00:24:48,543
but I can't help you unless
you tell me the whole story.
593
00:24:54,007 --> 00:24:55,750
The fight was
about a couple things.
594
00:24:55,852 --> 00:24:57,785
I was sick of sneaking around,
595
00:24:57,821 --> 00:25:00,355
but Sadie was all paranoid
because she had been caught
596
00:25:00,423 --> 00:25:01,890
cheating with other guys
in the past.
597
00:25:01,992 --> 00:25:03,759
Other guys?
598
00:25:04,432 --> 00:25:06,895
So, you were her first...
599
00:25:06,997 --> 00:25:08,162
Lesbian?
600
00:25:08,198 --> 00:25:09,664
Yes. Is that a problem?
601
00:25:09,733 --> 00:25:11,833
No, not with me. You should
check my source history.
602
00:25:11,902 --> 00:25:14,102
But you said you were arguing
about a couple of things.
603
00:25:14,170 --> 00:25:16,738
What really pissed me off
was that Sadie asked me
604
00:25:16,806 --> 00:25:18,573
to do something
at that cocktail party.
605
00:25:18,675 --> 00:25:19,974
What did she ask you to do?
606
00:25:20,043 --> 00:25:22,785
Bring her Roger Masters'
empty champagne glass.
607
00:25:23,511 --> 00:25:25,079
Roger Masters the host?
608
00:25:25,148 --> 00:25:27,882
- Why would she want his empty glass?
- She wouldn't say.
609
00:25:27,984 --> 00:25:29,784
And that really got me fired up
610
00:25:29,853 --> 00:25:31,853
because if I got caught stealing,
611
00:25:31,888 --> 00:25:34,422
even something as trivial
as a champagne glass,
612
00:25:34,447 --> 00:25:35,757
I would've lost my job.
613
00:25:35,859 --> 00:25:37,992
But you stole it for her anyway,
didn't you?
614
00:25:38,819 --> 00:25:40,929
At the end of the day,
I'd do anything for Sadie,
615
00:25:41,031 --> 00:25:42,355
and she knew it.
616
00:25:42,408 --> 00:25:44,866
She had me wrapped around her
finger the moment I met her.
617
00:25:45,152 --> 00:25:47,602
Walk me through it.
Tell me what happened.
618
00:25:47,671 --> 00:25:49,837
When Roger was done
with his champagne,
619
00:25:49,873 --> 00:25:53,207
I retrieved the empty glass and
quietly handed it off to Sadie.
620
00:25:53,276 --> 00:25:55,343
- What did she do with it?
- Went upstairs.
621
00:25:55,412 --> 00:25:57,445
I followed her up
like 20 minutes later
622
00:25:57,514 --> 00:25:58,780
to see what was going on.
623
00:25:58,848 --> 00:26:00,114
That's when I found her.
624
00:26:00,150 --> 00:26:02,283
- And you told all this to your lawyer?
- Yes.
625
00:26:02,352 --> 00:26:03,618
But my original public defender
626
00:26:03,653 --> 00:26:06,220
was too overloaded
with other cases.
627
00:26:06,517 --> 00:26:09,357
And, truth be told,
he thought I was guilty.
628
00:26:09,407 --> 00:26:12,151
He wanted me to take
the A.D.A.'S plea deal.
629
00:26:12,217 --> 00:26:14,329
Thank God Caleb Brown took over.
630
00:26:14,431 --> 00:26:16,164
At least he's fighting for me.
631
00:26:16,199 --> 00:26:18,355
[Door buzzes]
632
00:26:18,902 --> 00:26:21,204
Yo. How's it hanging, jailbird?
633
00:26:21,772 --> 00:26:23,304
You already pissed off the A.D.A.
634
00:26:23,373 --> 00:26:24,639
So, what, you figured,
635
00:26:24,674 --> 00:26:26,574
why the hell not piss off
the judge, as well?
636
00:26:26,643 --> 00:26:28,176
Yeah. Can you guys
get me out of here?
637
00:26:28,244 --> 00:26:30,011
Already done. Bailiff called us
to come get you.
638
00:26:30,113 --> 00:26:32,318
[Door buzzes]
639
00:26:35,629 --> 00:26:37,418
I'm gonna figure out
what happened.
640
00:26:37,621 --> 00:26:39,442
I promise.
641
00:26:41,758 --> 00:26:43,324
Are you out of your mind?
642
00:26:43,426 --> 00:26:44,652
I didn't do anything wrong.
643
00:26:44,705 --> 00:26:46,761
You tricked a judge
to postpone a trial,
644
00:26:46,830 --> 00:26:48,896
and then you illegally
questioned the defendant.
645
00:26:48,965 --> 00:26:51,599
Yeah, but other than that,
I didn't do anything wrong.
646
00:26:51,701 --> 00:26:54,469
Yo, Beckett, Castle's convinced
that Nina's innocent now.
647
00:26:54,571 --> 00:26:55,536
Because why?
648
00:26:55,605 --> 00:26:57,572
Because Sadie wanted
Roger's glass?
649
00:26:58,009 --> 00:27:00,859
I think she was after his DNA.
650
00:27:01,109 --> 00:27:02,176
Why?
651
00:27:02,278 --> 00:27:05,661
Roger was her cameraman
for 20 years.
652
00:27:06,057 --> 00:27:09,283
Nina said that Sadie had had
affairs with men in the past.
653
00:27:09,352 --> 00:27:10,518
Maybe they had had one
654
00:27:10,587 --> 00:27:12,920
and Sadie's daughter
was actually Roger's.
655
00:27:13,248 --> 00:27:16,157
So, uh, what, you think that
Sadie cooked this whole thing up
656
00:27:16,226 --> 00:27:18,684
so she could get a DNA sample
for a paternity test?
657
00:27:18,750 --> 00:27:21,797
Only one way to find out. What
do you want us to do, Captain?
658
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:23,931
- I...
- Beckett. Look.
659
00:27:26,736 --> 00:27:29,771
Uh, go talk to Roger,
see what he knows.
660
00:27:31,020 --> 00:27:32,273
What is he doing here?
661
00:27:32,342 --> 00:27:34,776
I'll handle this.
You just be normal.
662
00:27:35,830 --> 00:27:37,690
Brown: Captain, you crossed the line.
663
00:27:37,783 --> 00:27:40,012
I know that you had Castle go in
and interview my client...
664
00:27:40,078 --> 00:27:42,783
Look, counselor,
Castle and I are separated.
665
00:27:42,835 --> 00:27:45,487
He is no longer associated
with the 12th precinct.
666
00:27:45,513 --> 00:27:47,088
So neither I nor the NYPD
667
00:27:47,190 --> 00:27:49,223
can be held accountable
for his actions.
668
00:27:49,292 --> 00:27:50,558
So you knew nothing about it?
669
00:27:50,660 --> 00:27:51,926
That's what I said, isn't it?
670
00:27:52,028 --> 00:27:53,070
I don't believe you.
671
00:27:53,136 --> 00:27:54,395
And I don't care.
672
00:27:54,497 --> 00:27:55,999
Typical cop.
673
00:27:56,843 --> 00:27:58,299
Wait.
674
00:27:59,310 --> 00:28:00,368
What?
675
00:28:00,708 --> 00:28:02,370
Look, if you repeat
what I'm about to tell you,
676
00:28:02,439 --> 00:28:03,923
I will deny it.
677
00:28:05,208 --> 00:28:07,675
I have people
looking into Nina's case.
678
00:28:09,042 --> 00:28:10,388
Do you believe
that she's innocent?
679
00:28:10,427 --> 00:28:13,281
I didn't say that, but I think
we have to be thorough.
680
00:28:13,349 --> 00:28:14,964
And now that the trial
has been postponed,
681
00:28:15,004 --> 00:28:17,718
we have time
to investigate further.
682
00:28:17,814 --> 00:28:19,587
I appreciate that, captain.
683
00:28:20,321 --> 00:28:22,924
Counselor, Nina wasn't your
client until yesterday morning.
684
00:28:23,026 --> 00:28:25,493
Why are you so passionate
about this case?
685
00:28:25,528 --> 00:28:28,429
[Cellphone ringing] For the same
reason that I assume you are.
686
00:28:28,531 --> 00:28:29,530
Justice.
687
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,033
[Cellphone beeps]
This is Caleb Brown.
688
00:28:32,135 --> 00:28:33,723
Yes.
689
00:28:36,139 --> 00:28:37,438
Yeah?
690
00:28:38,575 --> 00:28:40,847
Yeah. Yeah, I'm on my way.
691
00:28:41,006 --> 00:28:42,105
So, while the judge
was heading home,
692
00:28:42,171 --> 00:28:43,911
she called a neighbor,
who checked on her house.
693
00:28:44,013 --> 00:28:45,913
Turns out, the house
was not burglarized.
694
00:28:45,982 --> 00:28:48,028
Anyway, she's ordered that the
trial resume in a half an hour.
695
00:28:48,081 --> 00:28:50,952
So if your people are going to
help prove Nina's innocence,
696
00:28:51,087 --> 00:28:52,954
they'd better hurry.
697
00:28:58,365 --> 00:29:00,299
[Doorbell rings]
698
00:29:00,367 --> 00:29:01,300
You again.
699
00:29:01,368 --> 00:29:03,071
Hello, Roger. We need to talk.
700
00:29:03,137 --> 00:29:04,456
Now what?
701
00:29:04,509 --> 00:29:05,871
Joanna.
702
00:29:05,973 --> 00:29:08,440
[Gasps] Well, hello!
703
00:29:08,509 --> 00:29:10,386
Sorry for the interruption.
This won't take long.
704
00:29:10,465 --> 00:29:13,212
It actually can't. Trial's gonna
start again in a few minutes.
705
00:29:13,247 --> 00:29:15,447
And we need to nail down
who the real killer is
706
00:29:15,516 --> 00:29:17,116
before an innocent woman
gets convicted.
707
00:29:17,184 --> 00:29:19,284
What do you mean innocent?
You saw that woman kill Sadie.
708
00:29:19,353 --> 00:29:21,020
No, Roger, I only thought I did.
709
00:29:21,088 --> 00:29:22,955
You see,
the mind is a funny thing.
710
00:29:22,990 --> 00:29:25,391
Doesn't like a vacuum.
So it fills in the blanks.
711
00:29:25,426 --> 00:29:27,893
Much like when I discovered Sadie
and Nina were having an affair,
712
00:29:27,928 --> 00:29:30,617
I automatically assumed Nina
killed her in a lover's quarrel
713
00:29:30,723 --> 00:29:32,464
when really the two of them
were working together
714
00:29:32,500 --> 00:29:33,866
to get something
from you, Roger.
715
00:29:33,934 --> 00:29:35,300
[Scoffs]
716
00:29:35,369 --> 00:29:36,902
What is he talking about?
717
00:29:37,004 --> 00:29:38,771
I'm sure I have no idea.
718
00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:40,005
- May I?
- Please.
719
00:29:40,041 --> 00:29:42,441
Turns out that Sadie asked Nina
to bring her a glass
720
00:29:42,510 --> 00:29:43,742
with your DNA on it.
721
00:29:43,811 --> 00:29:45,344
The question is why.
722
00:29:45,413 --> 00:29:46,812
- My turn?
- Go for it.
723
00:29:46,847 --> 00:29:49,715
We think that you were
having an affair with Sadie.
724
00:29:50,933 --> 00:29:52,251
[Scoffs] I knew it!
725
00:29:52,286 --> 00:29:53,704
All those years
you were working together,
726
00:29:53,756 --> 00:29:55,788
your little
secret conversations.
727
00:29:55,801 --> 00:29:57,956
You were cheating on me
this whole time, weren't you?
728
00:29:57,992 --> 00:29:59,525
Honey, it's not true. I swear.
729
00:29:59,627 --> 00:30:01,839
See, Sadie wanted
a sample of your DNA
730
00:30:01,879 --> 00:30:05,197
to prove that you are
the father of Sadie's daughter.
731
00:30:05,266 --> 00:30:06,665
Oh.
732
00:30:07,182 --> 00:30:08,600
Oh, for the love of God.
733
00:30:08,669 --> 00:30:11,637
I told you. I don't understand.
734
00:30:11,739 --> 00:30:14,899
Roger is infertile...
735
00:30:14,979 --> 00:30:18,343
Due to a childhood illness,
and Sadie knew that.
736
00:30:18,412 --> 00:30:21,680
Hell, the mailman probably knows it,
given how much Roger talks about it.
737
00:30:22,446 --> 00:30:24,249
It was a very traumatic experience.
738
00:30:24,318 --> 00:30:26,351
As is this.
I'd like you to leave.
739
00:30:26,387 --> 00:30:29,707
Sorry, Roger. No can do.
Sadie wanted your glass.
740
00:30:29,747 --> 00:30:33,826
- If not for DNA, then why?
- Perhaps a fingerprint.
741
00:30:33,861 --> 00:30:36,028
Why would Sadie need
his fingerprint?
742
00:30:36,699 --> 00:30:38,831
Roger: I have no idea.
743
00:30:38,933 --> 00:30:40,499
Your wife does.
744
00:30:43,404 --> 00:30:45,204
Right over there.
Behind the picture.
745
00:30:45,306 --> 00:30:46,939
Roger: Joanna, how could you?
746
00:30:47,270 --> 00:30:49,741
Oh, please, I've been dying
to know what you've been hiding
747
00:30:49,810 --> 00:30:51,543
in your safe for years now,
Roger.
748
00:30:51,612 --> 00:30:53,412
And the fact that
you didn't knock up Sadie
749
00:30:53,514 --> 00:30:55,247
doesn't mean
you weren't knocking boots.
750
00:30:55,282 --> 00:30:57,783
If you think I'm opening that
without a warrant, you're crazy.
751
00:30:57,852 --> 00:30:59,051
How long would it take
to get us a warrant?
752
00:30:59,153 --> 00:31:00,607
An hour or two.
753
00:31:00,739 --> 00:31:02,588
We don't have that kind of time.
754
00:31:03,047 --> 00:31:05,891
- Joanna, you're a fan of Nikki heat.
- Yeah, so?
755
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,899
So, how would you like to have a main
character named after you in my next book?
756
00:31:08,952 --> 00:31:11,196
Joanna, don't you dare.
757
00:31:13,912 --> 00:31:15,267
How about a villain?
758
00:31:15,336 --> 00:31:16,735
Deal.
759
00:31:19,740 --> 00:31:22,241
[Whispering indistinctly]
760
00:31:23,344 --> 00:31:24,828
You wouldn't.
761
00:31:33,353 --> 00:31:35,912
[Beeps]
762
00:31:49,876 --> 00:31:52,437
What are we gonna find
on this tape, Roger?
763
00:31:56,974 --> 00:31:58,076
Said it's here, right?
764
00:31:58,179 --> 00:32:00,679
Roger: Yeah,
but you know how they lie.
765
00:32:00,789 --> 00:32:04,149
[Rustling, footsteps]
766
00:32:08,889 --> 00:32:11,023
[Sighs]
767
00:32:11,058 --> 00:32:13,192
Here. Found something.
768
00:32:13,260 --> 00:32:15,160
Tell me that's not a WMD.
769
00:32:21,202 --> 00:32:23,569
- Whoa. You know what that is?
- Yeah.
770
00:32:23,604 --> 00:32:24,836
One of the $5-million duffel bags
771
00:32:24,905 --> 00:32:26,838
the CIA's handing out all over Iraq.
772
00:32:26,907 --> 00:32:28,240
Let's take it.
773
00:32:28,309 --> 00:32:29,208
What? No.
774
00:32:29,310 --> 00:32:30,576
Sadie, come on.
775
00:32:30,611 --> 00:32:33,045
It's 5 million bucks, and
no one's ever gonna miss it.
776
00:32:33,147 --> 00:32:35,691
Roger, forget about it.
We're reporters, not thieves.
777
00:32:35,783 --> 00:32:38,810
I'll notify JSOC
when we get back to base.
778
00:32:43,097 --> 00:32:45,123
All right,
let's get out of here.
779
00:32:45,192 --> 00:32:46,892
But you didn't leave it,
did you?
780
00:32:46,994 --> 00:32:48,527
You can see on the tape
that we did.
781
00:32:48,596 --> 00:32:51,363
Sure, and then once you stopped
recording, you went back to get it.
782
00:32:51,432 --> 00:32:53,332
Esposito: Over a billion dollars
in cash went missing
783
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,866
during the Iraq invasion.
784
00:32:54,935 --> 00:32:56,301
What's a lousy $5 mil?
785
00:32:56,337 --> 00:32:57,769
You couldn't just leave it,
could you?
786
00:32:57,805 --> 00:32:59,838
Yeah, that's exactly what I did.
787
00:33:00,874 --> 00:33:03,271
Except Sadie didn't, did she?
788
00:33:04,211 --> 00:33:06,011
No. She didn't.
789
00:33:06,490 --> 00:33:07,813
She snuck back
and took it for herself,
790
00:33:07,848 --> 00:33:10,382
and then she smuggled it to
the states, tried to cut me out.
791
00:33:10,451 --> 00:33:12,351
But you had the tape,
and you used that
792
00:33:12,386 --> 00:33:14,195
to blackmail her
so you could get your share.
793
00:33:14,234 --> 00:33:16,688
But Sadie didn't like
you having all that leverage.
794
00:33:16,757 --> 00:33:18,390
What I can't figure out is,
795
00:33:18,459 --> 00:33:21,132
what took Sadie so long to try
to get this tape back from you?
796
00:33:22,930 --> 00:33:25,030
Oh, I get it.
You burned through the money
797
00:33:25,099 --> 00:33:26,937
that Sadie gave you originally,
so you needed more.
798
00:33:26,990 --> 00:33:29,401
I am mortgaged to the hilt, okay?
799
00:33:29,436 --> 00:33:32,371
All my credit cards are maxed,
and my wife won't stop spending.
800
00:33:32,439 --> 00:33:35,841
Hell, she forked over 15 g's
to that stupid charity auction
801
00:33:35,909 --> 00:33:37,142
to have the great Richard Castle
802
00:33:37,211 --> 00:33:38,777
read a couple of chapters out
of his novel.
803
00:33:38,846 --> 00:33:41,280
Okay, so you went to Sadie
demanding more money,
804
00:33:41,315 --> 00:33:44,116
she refused, and then when
you caught her in your office
805
00:33:44,184 --> 00:33:46,385
that night trying to take
what was yours...
806
00:33:46,453 --> 00:33:48,745
You grabbed the fireplace poker
and you killed her.
807
00:33:48,811 --> 00:33:51,490
No! I didn't even know Sadie
was trying to steal the tape
808
00:33:51,558 --> 00:33:53,325
until you guys showed up
at my house earlier.
809
00:33:53,394 --> 00:33:55,922
Prove it. Where were you
at the time of the murder?
810
00:33:57,798 --> 00:33:59,819
Do you promise
not to tell my wife?
811
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:02,501
I was in the basement
812
00:34:02,569 --> 00:34:04,870
getting baked with chip Evans
and Lester Davis.
813
00:34:04,905 --> 00:34:07,406
I lied because I promised my
wife that I would stop toking.
814
00:34:07,474 --> 00:34:11,510
It's just... I'm under
a lot of stress lately.
815
00:34:14,346 --> 00:34:16,148
Please tell me you solved it.
816
00:34:16,250 --> 00:34:17,482
Roger's alibi checks out.
817
00:34:17,584 --> 00:34:19,651
We're back to square one
with zero leads.
818
00:34:19,753 --> 00:34:20,752
Any luck with Weller?
819
00:34:20,821 --> 00:34:22,120
All he cares about
is getting a conviction,
820
00:34:22,222 --> 00:34:24,022
and from the look of the jury
when they found out
821
00:34:24,091 --> 00:34:25,824
about Nina and Sadie's affair,
he's gonna get it.
822
00:34:25,926 --> 00:34:28,376
We need to figure something out.
823
00:34:28,996 --> 00:34:30,595
I have an idea.
824
00:34:30,664 --> 00:34:32,130
Castle, what are you doing?
825
00:34:32,232 --> 00:34:34,339
Saving an innocent woman's life.
826
00:34:35,235 --> 00:34:37,636
- Judge Wollcott: Mr. Brown, your witness.
- Stop the trial!
827
00:34:37,671 --> 00:34:40,305
[Spectators murmuring]
828
00:34:43,444 --> 00:34:47,279
Okay, so... Now what?
829
00:34:47,381 --> 00:34:49,514
I don't know. I didn't think
this one all the way through.
830
00:34:49,616 --> 00:34:50,749
Mm.
831
00:34:53,685 --> 00:34:55,747
Hello, Your Honor.
Nice to see you again.
832
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,241
Hoping to make another visit to
the holding cells, Mr. Castle?
833
00:34:58,323 --> 00:35:00,256
No, Your Honor.
Once was plenty, thank you.
834
00:35:00,291 --> 00:35:02,425
And my sincerest apologies
for the interruption.
835
00:35:02,493 --> 00:35:04,660
However, there has been
a development in the case.
836
00:35:04,729 --> 00:35:06,696
Beckett: Excuse us, Your Honor,
837
00:35:06,764 --> 00:35:09,971
but the defense has a witness
to call to the stand.
838
00:35:11,235 --> 00:35:13,536
Uh, Your Honor,
the defense would like to call
839
00:35:13,605 --> 00:35:15,104
Richard Castle to the stand.
840
00:35:19,744 --> 00:35:21,377
So, Nina definitely didn't do it.
841
00:35:21,479 --> 00:35:24,000
Tell me something I don't know,
like who did.
842
00:35:24,304 --> 00:35:25,314
No idea.
843
00:35:25,383 --> 00:35:26,849
Bailiff: Do you swear to tell
the truth, the whole truth,
844
00:35:26,918 --> 00:35:29,185
- and nothing but the truth?
- I do.
845
00:35:29,287 --> 00:35:32,129
Looks like I got my do-over
after all.
846
00:35:35,193 --> 00:35:36,392
Um...
847
00:35:36,799 --> 00:35:38,561
Mr. Castle, yesterday, you testified
848
00:35:38,630 --> 00:35:41,197
that my client was guilty
of killing Mrs. Beakman.
849
00:35:41,299 --> 00:35:43,132
Do you still believe that's true?
850
00:35:43,234 --> 00:35:45,001
No. Nina's innocent.
851
00:35:45,069 --> 00:35:47,103
[Jury murmuring]
852
00:35:47,842 --> 00:35:49,438
Okay, and when, may I ask,
853
00:35:49,507 --> 00:35:51,440
did you change your mind
about my client?
854
00:35:51,542 --> 00:35:54,161
When I realized
that Nina was a victim.
855
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,511
Victim of bad timing.
856
00:35:55,580 --> 00:35:57,046
First and foremost, my own.
857
00:35:57,115 --> 00:35:59,100
Bad timing, you say?
858
00:35:59,192 --> 00:36:00,578
It was my bad timing
859
00:36:00,657 --> 00:36:02,318
that brought me
to the crime scene too late.
860
00:36:02,387 --> 00:36:03,619
Had I gotten there earlier,
861
00:36:03,688 --> 00:36:07,095
I would've seen Nina
finding Sadie already stabbed.
862
00:36:07,398 --> 00:36:09,883
Okay, but then my client ran.
863
00:36:10,002 --> 00:36:12,574
- Why?
- Because she knew how it looked.
864
00:36:12,746 --> 00:36:14,474
While we're on the topic of bad timing,
865
00:36:14,527 --> 00:36:16,281
let's not fail to mention the timing
866
00:36:16,374 --> 00:36:18,326
of Nina originally being paired
with a public defender
867
00:36:18,379 --> 00:36:20,820
who didn't care about the truth,
unlike you, sir.
868
00:36:22,078 --> 00:36:25,041
Um...
Well, Mr. Castle, is there anything...
869
00:36:25,109 --> 00:36:26,616
Is there anything else you'd like
to share with the court?
870
00:36:26,669 --> 00:36:29,945
Yes. Good people of the jury, it
is frightening to think about,
871
00:36:30,014 --> 00:36:31,747
but Nina O'Keefe is on trial today
872
00:36:31,783 --> 00:36:33,883
simply because
I needed to use the restroom
873
00:36:33,951 --> 00:36:36,318
and the one downstairs...
874
00:36:39,801 --> 00:36:41,094
Bad timing.
875
00:36:42,915 --> 00:36:45,327
The bathroom downstairs
was occupied.
876
00:36:47,432 --> 00:36:49,298
Call 911!
877
00:36:49,367 --> 00:36:51,400
[Crowd murmuring] Call 911!
878
00:36:51,502 --> 00:36:54,170
I was rushing through
to the back of the house,
879
00:36:54,272 --> 00:36:57,506
thinking Nina was the killer
and that she was getting away,
880
00:36:57,575 --> 00:37:00,443
but the true killer never left.
881
00:37:00,545 --> 00:37:02,178
[Door opens]
The true killer...
882
00:37:02,246 --> 00:37:05,881
Was still in that bathroom,
cleaning the mud from his shoes,
883
00:37:05,983 --> 00:37:10,286
the mud he collected
trudging through the backyard...
884
00:37:11,622 --> 00:37:14,323
to and from killing Sadie.
885
00:37:14,392 --> 00:37:15,858
Mr. Castle, did you see this man?
886
00:37:15,927 --> 00:37:18,260
Yeah. Talk about bad timing.
887
00:37:18,329 --> 00:37:20,994
He came out just in time
for me to catch him.
888
00:37:21,429 --> 00:37:24,300
Can you point to this man
in this courtroom?
889
00:37:24,402 --> 00:37:25,835
The man who killed Sadie Beakman?
890
00:37:25,903 --> 00:37:27,670
Yes, I can.
891
00:37:28,971 --> 00:37:31,173
It was her husband,
Lloyd Beakman.
892
00:37:31,275 --> 00:37:33,476
[Spectators gasp, murmur]
893
00:37:33,578 --> 00:37:35,077
How dare you.
894
00:37:35,146 --> 00:37:37,580
Wait, you and mom
disappeared from the party
895
00:37:37,682 --> 00:37:39,515
at the same time.
896
00:37:39,550 --> 00:37:42,418
No, I-I remember because
I was trying to find you guys.
897
00:37:42,453 --> 00:37:44,386
All right, that's enough.
I want order.
898
00:37:44,489 --> 00:37:46,688
Beckett:
Apologies to the court, Your Honor.
899
00:37:46,768 --> 00:37:48,991
Joanna Masters thought that Sadie
900
00:37:49,060 --> 00:37:51,127
was having an affair
with her husband, Roger,
901
00:37:51,262 --> 00:37:53,395
but she was wrong,
and so were you.
902
00:37:53,464 --> 00:37:56,244
I have absolutely no idea
what you're talking about.
903
00:37:56,376 --> 00:37:57,392
Sure, you do.
904
00:37:57,537 --> 00:37:59,468
You saw your wife head
up those stairs.
905
00:37:59,537 --> 00:38:02,404
You had your suspicions.
She had cheated on you before.
906
00:38:02,507 --> 00:38:04,806
So you headed out to the yard,
907
00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:06,208
you moved
the basketball hoop over
908
00:38:06,277 --> 00:38:08,778
so you could climb up it
and get a better look.
909
00:38:08,846 --> 00:38:11,890
But Sadie caught you spying
in the window, didn't she?
910
00:38:12,259 --> 00:38:13,130
So you came inside
911
00:38:13,222 --> 00:38:15,294
and accused her
of having an affair with Roger.
912
00:38:15,386 --> 00:38:17,299
Dad, what did you do?
913
00:38:17,470 --> 00:38:18,888
What did I do?
914
00:38:18,990 --> 00:38:21,924
Your mother
was having an affair with...
915
00:38:22,453 --> 00:38:24,727
Her, of all people.
916
00:38:24,796 --> 00:38:28,063
And it was so funny to your mother
that I assumed it was Roger.
917
00:38:28,166 --> 00:38:29,632
She laughed and laughed.
918
00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:32,101
So you were upstairs with Sadie.
919
00:38:33,310 --> 00:38:34,303
W-w-w-what I meant was...
920
00:38:34,372 --> 00:38:36,539
What happened, Lloyd?
Did you lose control?
921
00:38:36,607 --> 00:38:38,587
Is that why you killed her?
922
00:38:41,358 --> 00:38:44,847
[Voice breaking] I didn't
mean to. I didn't mean it.
923
00:38:44,949 --> 00:38:46,148
I loved Sadie, but I just...
924
00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:47,716
Mr. Beakman, my advice to you
925
00:38:47,852 --> 00:38:50,961
would be to stop talking
and find yourself an attorney.
926
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,489
Mr. Beakman,
you're under arrest for murder.
927
00:38:53,916 --> 00:38:55,691
Come on. Hands.
928
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,159
[Handcuffs clicking]
929
00:38:57,261 --> 00:38:59,161
[Exhales sharply]
930
00:38:59,517 --> 00:39:01,463
Your Honor,
in light of these developments,
931
00:39:01,532 --> 00:39:03,599
the people file a motion
to dismiss all charges
932
00:39:03,701 --> 00:39:05,668
against Nina O'Keefe.
933
00:39:05,968 --> 00:39:07,881
Judge Wollcott:
Granted. Case dismissed.
934
00:39:07,987 --> 00:39:09,359
Thank you.
935
00:39:09,504 --> 00:39:10,873
[Gavel bangs]
936
00:39:13,144 --> 00:39:15,010
Great job, guys. You should be
proud of yourselves.
937
00:39:15,079 --> 00:39:16,412
- Why? We blew it.
- Yeah.
938
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,014
For five months, we had an
innocent woman rotting in jail.
939
00:39:19,083 --> 00:39:20,649
No, that one's not on us.
940
00:39:20,767 --> 00:39:22,971
Nina's original defense attorney
did that to her.
941
00:39:23,037 --> 00:39:25,730
At the end of the day, we're the
ones who brought her justice.
942
00:39:25,796 --> 00:39:27,623
Speaking of which,
I got to take back
943
00:39:27,658 --> 00:39:29,825
everything bad I've ever said
about defense attorneys.
944
00:39:29,927 --> 00:39:31,403
That guy Caleb Brown,
he's all right.
945
00:39:31,469 --> 00:39:33,529
Ryan: Yeah. He's a stand-up guy.
946
00:39:33,712 --> 00:39:34,797
- We'll see you later, Beckett.
- Yeah.
947
00:39:34,866 --> 00:39:36,899
Beckett: Okay, goodnight, guys.
948
00:39:38,202 --> 00:39:39,235
[Door closes]
949
00:39:39,303 --> 00:39:43,171
Caleb's a "stand-up guy."
If they only knew.
950
00:39:43,329 --> 00:39:44,622
No, they're right.
951
00:39:45,018 --> 00:39:47,843
I mean, Caleb is a monster,
but what we learned today
952
00:39:47,912 --> 00:39:51,205
is that he is a monster
who is desperate to do good.
953
00:39:51,443 --> 00:39:52,081
So?
954
00:39:52,149 --> 00:39:54,511
So, we were looking
for his weakness.
955
00:39:54,775 --> 00:39:57,044
And we just found it.
956
00:39:59,432 --> 00:40:02,097
Castle: Hey. Celebratory champagne.
957
00:40:02,321 --> 00:40:04,089
Felt appropriate,
given the twist it played
958
00:40:04,155 --> 00:40:05,294
in today's courtroom drama.
959
00:40:05,396 --> 00:40:08,345
Yes, enough drama
to fill a legal thriller.
960
00:40:08,714 --> 00:40:09,999
Maybe you should try
a new genre.
961
00:40:10,101 --> 00:40:12,949
Maybe I should try to make sure
I never testify in court again.
962
00:40:13,068 --> 00:40:15,137
You kept an innocent woman out
of jail, Rick.
963
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:16,572
I'm proud of you for that.
964
00:40:16,674 --> 00:40:18,507
Couldn't have done it
without you.
965
00:40:21,868 --> 00:40:23,095
So...
966
00:40:23,464 --> 00:40:25,781
How is your investigation
into Loksat coming along?
967
00:40:25,883 --> 00:40:26,982
You know
I can't tell you about that.
968
00:40:27,051 --> 00:40:28,884
Right, right. For my own safety.
969
00:40:28,953 --> 00:40:31,720
Uh... But I can tell you this.
970
00:40:31,822 --> 00:40:33,367
I'm getting close.
971
00:40:33,591 --> 00:40:36,692
That's good, because so am I.
