Now, Rick, be charming,
but not too charming.
14

That's like asking Superman
not to be too super.
15
00:01:10,537 --> 00:01:11,731
What's wrong with being too charming?
16
00:01:11,805 --> 00:01:15,241
Nothing, except when you are testifying
in a murder trial.
17
00:01:15,308 --> 00:01:18,038
Look, being charming tells the jury
that you're confident.
18
00:01:18,178 --> 00:01:20,840
But being too charming tells them
that you're trying to be manipulative.
19
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:22,074
Oh, I see.
20
00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:25,481
This is why you never had me testify
in any of our cases.
21
00:01:25,552 --> 00:01:26,883
You're jealous of my charm.
22
00:01:26,953 --> 00:01:28,921
I'm serious, okay? Don't get cocky.
23
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:30,922
This is the first time
you'll be testifying in court,
24
00:01:30,990 --> 00:01:32,423
and it can get nerve-racking.
25
00:01:32,492 --> 00:01:33,823
I'll be fine.
26
00:01:33,893 --> 00:01:36,953
Especially since word on the street
is the defense lawyer is a total hack.
27

Oh, yeah? Who is it?
28
00:01:38,965 --> 00:01:40,023

Too bad you won't be there
to see me in action.
33
00:01:49,142 --> 00:01:51,133
- No, but I will.
- Is that wise?
34
00:01:51,244 --> 00:01:53,576
I mean, publicly, aren't we still
supposed to be separated?
35
00:01:53,646 --> 00:01:56,410
This is the Sadie Beakman murder trial
we're talking about.
36
00:01:56,483 --> 00:02:00,283
Her reporting from Iraq shaped the way
many Americans saw the war.
37
00:02:00,353 --> 00:02:03,447
Plus, it gave her the profile
to launch her own news website.
38
00:02:03,523 --> 00:02:07,254
And as Captain of the precinct
that closed her murder case,
39
00:02:07,327 --> 00:02:09,090
it would be odd if I didn't show.
40
00:02:09,162 --> 00:02:11,528
But then we should come up
with a secret signal.
41
00:02:11,598 --> 00:02:14,328
A little thing just between the two of us
that says, "I love you."
42
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,766
Oh, I... You know,
I think that would be a little...
43
00:02:16,836 --> 00:02:18,599
Do you need a tissue?
44
00:02:18,671 --> 00:02:20,366
No, this is my...
That's the secret "I love you" signal.
45
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,930
- Do you like it?
- Rubbing your nose?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's really romantic.

and connecting him to LokSat?
52
00:02:39,626 --> 00:02:41,719
Exactly where we were last week.
53
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:44,058
And the week before that.
And the week before that.
54
00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:45,188
So nowhere.
55
00:02:45,265 --> 00:02:46,994
Our target
at the Public Defender's Office
56
00:02:47,066 --> 00:02:49,193
is like a super villain
with no weaknesses.
57
00:02:49,269 --> 00:02:51,169
- Oh, come on, that's not possible.
- Sure about that?
58
00:02:51,237 --> 00:02:52,499
'Cause Cee Cee and I have tried
every possible...
59
00:02:52,572 --> 00:02:55,063
Wait, what? Who's Cee Cee?
60
00:02:55,175 --> 00:02:56,472
No one.
61
00:02:56,543 --> 00:02:58,670
Did you give your computer
a girl's name?
62
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:01,075
- You don't know my life.
- Huh.
63
00:03:01,147 --> 00:03:02,910
I've never been happier about that
until this moment.
64
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:05,984
Look, I am tired of lying to everyone.
I want my life back.
65
00:03:06,052 --> 00:03:08,282
And given your new relationship
with your computer,
66
00:03:08,354 --> 00:03:10,185
it's time you get yours back, too.
67
00:03:10,256 --> 00:03:13,851
So, let's figure this out.
What is Caleb Brown's weakness?
68
00:03:14,861 --> 00:03:17,830
This is going to be
the easiest case I have ever tried.
69
00:03:17,897 --> 00:03:18,955
How can you be so sure?
70
00:03:19,065 --> 00:03:20,623
The defendant has a history of arrests
71
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:23,692
for robbing high-end houses
while working as a cater waiter.
72
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:25,397
Sadie Beakman caught her in the act,
73
00:03:25,471 --> 00:03:27,939
and the defendant killed her
in order to get away.
74
00:03:28,007 --> 00:03:29,531
Isn't that all circumstantial?
75
00:03:29,609 --> 00:03:33,443
Yes, which is why it's a good thing
I have you, an eyewitness.
76
00:03:33,546 --> 00:03:36,014
The defendant really should've taken
that plea deal I offered.
77
00:03:36,082 --> 00:03:37,242
Yeah, why didn't she?
78
00:03:37,317 --> 00:03:38,841
What do you think
their defense is going to be?
79
00:03:38,918 --> 00:03:40,408
Don't concern yourself with that.
80
00:03:40,486 --> 00:03:43,683
No matter how he tries to spin the facts,
you stick with what you saw.
81
00:03:43,756 --> 00:03:45,280
Nina O'Keefe killed Sadie Beakman.
82
00:03:46,392 --> 00:03:48,986
- The victim's family.
- Oh, yes, I remember.
83
00:03:49,262 --> 00:03:50,729
Hi. Nice to see you again.
84
00:03:50,797 --> 00:03:52,890
Sorry it's under
such terrible circumstances.
85
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:54,263
Yeah, us too.
86
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,867
So how are you holding up?
87
00:03:56,035 --> 00:03:58,265
Some good days, more bad.
88
00:03:58,371 --> 00:03:59,736
We can't seem to get over it.
89
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:02,064
You know, my wife spent two years
embedded with troops in Iraq,
90
00:04:02,141 --> 00:04:03,199
and not a scratch.
91
00:04:03,276 --> 00:04:04,800
And then a party in Manhattan...
92
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:06,240
Doesn't make sense.
93
00:04:06,312 --> 00:04:08,439
Well, we're going to get her justice.

No, no, no, you've got that wrong.

- Lanie asked me.
- Really? That's... But I...

CALEB: Nina.
100
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,498
My name is Caleb Brown.
I'm from the Public Defender's Office.
101
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:37,007
I'll be representing you today.

The honorable
Judge Gloria Wollcott presiding.
107
00:04:46,452 --> 00:04:47,817
Be seated.
108
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:53,152
Well, well, well, Mr. Caleb Brown.
109
00:04:53,226 --> 00:04:56,320
As lovely as it is to see you
in my courtroom, where's Mr. Novak?
110
00:04:56,396 --> 00:04:59,456
Your Honor, Mr. Novak's wife
went into premature labor last night.
111
00:04:59,532 --> 00:05:01,830
- Oh, no.
- The baby's fine. As is the mother.
112
00:05:01,934 --> 00:05:03,697
But, obviously,
Mr. Novak is unavailable,
113
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:06,102
so the Public Defender's Office
asked me to take over.
114
00:05:06,172 --> 00:05:07,969
- And you're up to speed on the case?
- Yes, Your Honor.
115
00:05:08,041 --> 00:05:10,066
Plus, I did a little work of my own
this morning.
116
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:11,941
Any objections, Mr. Weller?
117
00:05:12,011 --> 00:05:13,706
None, Your Honor.
118
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:17,147

Roger Masters, Your Honor.
120
00:05:19,118 --> 00:05:22,212
Sadie was kind, thoughtful.
She was generous. I would know.
121
00:05:22,288 --> 00:05:24,017
We were friends for over 20 years.
122
00:05:24,123 --> 00:05:26,785
I was her cameraman back when
she was still a news correspondent,
123
00:05:26,859 --> 00:05:28,349
before she started her website...
124
00:05:28,461 --> 00:05:31,225
Thank you, Mr. Masters.
No further questions.
125
00:05:31,297 --> 00:05:33,561
So the murder took place
at your townhouse.
126
00:05:33,666 --> 00:05:35,531
- Is that correct?
- ROGER: I'm afraid so.
127
00:05:35,601 --> 00:05:38,570
My wife and I hosted the cocktail party
where your client killed Sadie.
128
00:05:38,805 --> 00:05:41,000
Did you see my client kill her?
129
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,037
No. No, I did not.
130
00:05:43,109 --> 00:05:46,078
The fireplace poker
punctured the rib cage,
131
00:05:46,145 --> 00:05:48,010
and nicked Mrs. Beakman's aorta,
132
00:05:48,081 --> 00:05:50,641
causing massive blood loss
and her eventual death.
133
00:05:50,717 --> 00:05:52,981
Did Mrs. Beakman die immediately?
134
00:05:53,052 --> 00:05:56,852
It would've taken five to 10 minutes
for her to succumb to her wounds.
135
00:05:56,923 --> 00:06:00,017
Dr. Parish, would Mrs. Beakman
have been in much pain?
136
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:02,186
Yes. Excruciating pain.
137
00:06:02,261 --> 00:06:03,489
No further questions, Your Honor.
138
00:06:03,563 --> 00:06:04,825
The defendant was on the run...
139
00:06:04,897 --> 00:06:07,491
...until my partner caught up with her
at Grand Central Terminal.
140
00:06:07,567 --> 00:06:09,899
And did my client confess?
141
00:06:10,002 --> 00:06:11,594
No. She didn't make a statement.
142
00:06:11,704 --> 00:06:15,196
The only thing she said was
that she wanted to speak with a lawyer.
143
00:06:17,076 --> 00:06:19,010
The People call Richard Castle.
144
00:06:28,554 --> 00:06:29,953
Raise your right hand.

the whole truth,

00:06:33,593 --> 00:06:35,959
- and nothing but the truth?
- I do.
148
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:40,126
Mr. Castle,
what is it that you do for a living?
149
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:41,461
I'm a murder mystery novelist.
150
00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:43,065
Have you held any other jobs?
151
00:06:43,136 --> 00:06:45,536
Yes, six years as a civilian investigator,
152
00:06:45,605 --> 00:06:49,473
working with the NYPD,
homicides for the 12th Precinct.
153
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:52,670
So you're a bit of an expert
when it comes to solving murders?
154
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:57,182
Yes. And I use that expertise
to lend authenticity to my novels.
155
00:06:57,250 --> 00:07:00,777
Now, what brought you to the home
of Roger and Joanna Masters
156
00:07:00,853 --> 00:07:03,549
on the evening of September 14,
five months ago?
157
00:07:03,623 --> 00:07:05,420
Joanna Masters won a charity auction
158
00:07:05,491 --> 00:07:07,550
to have me come to her home
and do a private reading
159
00:07:07,627 --> 00:07:10,687
of Driving Heat, my latest novel,
due to come out the following day...
160

00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,934
Richard Castle. In my home.

00:07:16,002 --> 00:07:17,936
It is a pleasure to meet you.
163
00:07:18,004 --> 00:07:21,303
Oh, I just adore your books.
I mean, Nikki Heat is like my role model.
164
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:22,807
- I love her.
- Me, too.
165
00:07:22,875 --> 00:07:25,105
- And you are too kind.
- And you are too cute.
166
00:07:25,178 --> 00:07:28,079
- Keep talking.

00:07:30,082 --> 00:07:31,879

- Thank you.
- And, uh...
171
00:07:34,887 --> 00:07:37,253
CASTLE: That's when I met
Sadie Beakman.
172
00:07:37,323 --> 00:07:40,087
- Nice to meet you.
- Lloyd, and their lovely daughter, Annie.
173
00:07:40,159 --> 00:07:41,183
Richard. Nice to meet you.
174
00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:45,458
Now, I'm sure you recognize Sadie
from her Iraq War news reports.
175
00:07:45,531 --> 00:07:48,466
But she also owns and operates
BeakmanReport.com...
176
00:07:48,534 --> 00:07:50,263
CASTLE: After meeting
the soon-to-be-victim,
177
00:07:50,336 --> 00:07:51,860
I met the soon-to-be killer.
178
00:07:51,938 --> 00:07:53,269
Champagne?
179
00:07:54,507 --> 00:07:57,135
Thank you so much for being here.
Thank you for having me.
180
00:07:57,643 --> 00:07:59,543
Sorry about the small poster.
I ran out of the big ones.
181
00:07:59,612 --> 00:08:00,977
(LIGHT LAUGHTER)
182
00:08:01,047 --> 00:08:04,312
Driving Heat, written by this guy.
183
00:08:04,383 --> 00:08:05,372
(LAUGHTER)
184
00:08:06,185 --> 00:08:08,312
"The last thing Nikki Heat expected
185
00:08:08,387 --> 00:08:11,049
"when she received her promotion
to Captain of the NYPD..."
186
00:08:11,123 --> 00:08:14,320
CASTLE: After the reading,
I needed to use the restroom...
187
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,549
(HANDLE RATTLES)
188
00:08:16,796 --> 00:08:18,923
MAN: Sorry, I'm gonna be a while.
189
00:08:18,998 --> 00:08:21,660
CASTLE: So I went to use
the facilities upstairs...
190
00:08:21,734 --> 00:08:22,962
Stop!
191
00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:27,403
That's when
I saw the defendant kill Sadie Beakman.
192
00:08:27,874 --> 00:08:30,308
Let the record reflect
the witness has identified
193
00:08:30,376 --> 00:08:34,244
the defendant, Nina O'Keefe,
as the woman in question.
194
00:08:34,714 --> 00:08:36,978
Nothing further, Your Honor.
195
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:38,715
Mr. Brown, your witness.
196
00:08:39,485 --> 00:08:42,113
Mr. Castle, I don't want to take up
too much of your time.
197
00:08:42,188 --> 00:08:43,655
I only have a handful of questions.
198
00:08:43,923 --> 00:08:47,984
First, is it possible that my client
did not kill Mrs. Beakman?
199
00:08:48,327 --> 00:08:49,658
Well, no. It was definitely her.
200
00:08:50,096 --> 00:08:53,395
And you remember
the events of the evening clearly?
201
00:08:53,499 --> 00:08:55,933
Because I know
that you have a history of memory loss.
202
00:08:56,135 --> 00:08:57,329
Objection, Your Honor.
203
00:08:58,037 --> 00:08:59,595
Goes to credibility.
204
00:08:59,705 --> 00:09:01,036
I'll allow it.
205
00:09:01,407 --> 00:09:05,275
Mr. Castle, is it true
that on May 12, 2014,
206
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:08,313
you were abducted
by parties still unknown,
207
00:09:08,381 --> 00:09:11,214
and then returned eight weeks later?
208
00:09:11,284 --> 00:09:13,752
- Yes.
- And you still have memory loss?
209
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,213
Only of those eight weeks.
210
00:09:16,289 --> 00:09:19,656
My memory of your client
killing Mrs. Beakman is crystal clear.
211
00:09:19,725 --> 00:09:21,352
But how can you be sure?
212
00:09:21,527 --> 00:09:23,358
- Because I was an eyewitness.
- Ah.
213
00:09:23,429 --> 00:09:26,830
I'm so glad that you used that word.
"Eyewitness."
214
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:30,229
Now, Mr. Castle, you gave a reading
215
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:33,804
of Driving Heat
on the evening in question.
216
00:09:33,873 --> 00:09:35,898
The continuing adventures
of Nikki Heat.
217
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:38,466
Might you humor the court
and just give us a short reading?
218
00:09:38,544 --> 00:09:41,445
Just the highlighted section,
if you please.
219
00:09:46,285 --> 00:09:48,947
"Nikki had seen it often,
as every cop had.
220
00:09:49,055 --> 00:09:52,252
"Otherwise-reliable eyewitnesses
conflate or confuse details
221
00:09:52,325 --> 00:09:53,849
"that seem indelible
222
00:09:53,926 --> 00:09:56,861
"to those not caught up
in the trauma of the incident."
223
00:09:57,096 --> 00:09:58,893
According to previous testimony,
224
00:09:58,965 --> 00:10:03,993
you use your expertise with the NYPD
to add authenticity to your stories.
225
00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:05,503
Is that correct?
226
00:10:05,571 --> 00:10:09,029
The defendant killed Mrs. Beakman.
I know what I saw.
227
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:12,703
Just like you knew what you saw
on February second, 2015?
228
00:10:15,014 --> 00:10:20,145
Mr. Castle, did you give a statement
to a Detective Neely, Westchester PD,
229
00:10:20,252 --> 00:10:22,743
that you were an eyewitness
to the murder of Eva Whitfield,
230
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:24,687
and that her husband, Cole,
was the killer?
231
00:10:24,757 --> 00:10:26,952
- Yes, I did, but...
- And was Cole Whitfield the killer?
232
00:10:27,927 --> 00:10:30,361
- No.
- So you've been wrong before.
233
00:10:30,429 --> 00:10:32,124
That incident was a set-up.
234
00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:33,756
What happened to Mrs. Beakman
was not.
235
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:35,460
I saw the defendant kill her.
236
00:10:35,534 --> 00:10:42,064
Says the man whose own writings speak
to the unreliability of eyewitnesses,
237
00:10:42,141 --> 00:10:45,008
a man who has given
false eyewitness statements in the past,
238
00:10:45,111 --> 00:10:48,342
a man with a history of memory loss.
239
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:52,113
Marcus, help him.
240
00:10:52,184 --> 00:10:53,412
Don't you think I would if I could?
241
00:10:53,486 --> 00:10:58,048
Mr. Castle, let's pretend that you're
a character out of one of your novels.
242
00:10:58,124 --> 00:11:00,490
Would Nikki Heat think
that you are a reliable witness?
243
00:11:00,860 --> 00:11:03,454
That is a ridiculous question.
And, yes, she would.
244
00:11:03,796 --> 00:11:05,457
I'm disappointed in you, Mr. Castle.
245
00:11:05,531 --> 00:11:08,091
I thought you, of all people,
would be sympathetic to my client.
246
00:11:08,401 --> 00:11:11,029
Weren't you once framed for murder?
247
00:11:12,972 --> 00:11:17,033
Yeah, that was 3XK, the serial killer.
248
00:11:17,143 --> 00:11:20,635
He had a vendetta against me.
That was different.
249
00:11:20,713 --> 00:11:23,580
Why is it different for you,
but not for my client?
250
00:11:24,183 --> 00:11:26,777
What makes you so special,
Mr. Castle?
251
00:11:26,852 --> 00:11:30,253
Dr. Parish testified that the victim,
Mrs. Beakman, was alive
252
00:11:30,322 --> 00:11:35,191
for five to 10 minutes after being
stabbed, and in excruciating pain.
253
00:11:35,728 --> 00:11:39,027
Might it be that my client
simply came across the victim
254
00:11:39,098 --> 00:11:41,566
after the true killer
stabbed her and fled?
255
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:44,033
- But that...
- This is not one of your stories, sir!
256
00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:46,697
You do not get to make up the facts
as you see fit!
257
00:11:46,772 --> 00:11:48,763
Now, my client is fighting for her life,
258
00:11:48,874 --> 00:11:51,365
just as you once fought for yours
against 3XK.
259
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:53,412
So, now, I ask you one last time.
260
00:11:53,512 --> 00:11:55,605
Is it possible, Mr. Castle,
261
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:59,082
that my client
did not kill Mrs. Beakman?
262
00:12:03,355 --> 00:12:05,550
- Yes, it's possible...
- Yes!
263
00:12:05,624 --> 00:12:09,287
Yes, it is possible.
Possible that you are wrong.
264
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:11,522
Nothing further, Your Honor.
265
00:12:16,068 --> 00:12:18,400
JUDGE: Mr. Castle, you may step down.
266
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:29,376
Mr. Castle, you may step down.
267
00:12:33,085 --> 00:12:34,484
Mr. Castle.
268
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,285
Step down.
269
00:12:41,627 --> 00:12:43,026
It's nearly 5:00.
270
00:12:43,095 --> 00:12:44,790
We will pick this back up
in the morning.
271
00:12:44,864 --> 00:12:46,957
- Court is in recess until 9:00 a.m.
- (GAVEL BANGS)
272
00:12:58,177 --> 00:12:59,337
Come here.
273
00:12:59,445 --> 00:13:00,605
Marcus, I'm so sorry.
274
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,579
I don't know what happened.
I got torpedoed.
275
00:13:02,648 --> 00:13:04,616
No, no, no. You got nuked.
276
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:10,085
- Are you okay?
- Beckett, I just blew the entire case.
277
00:13:10,156 --> 00:13:12,647
Well, the trial's not over yet.
Right, Marcus?
278
00:13:12,758 --> 00:13:14,851
Look, I'm not gonna lie to you.
We've got a serious problem now.
279
00:13:15,194 --> 00:13:17,492
Castle, you've just given the jury
reasonable doubt.
280
00:13:17,696 --> 00:13:19,789
But there's got to be
something we can do, right?
281
00:13:19,865 --> 00:13:22,425
Well, we have until court resumes
tomorrow morning to find new evidence,
282
00:13:22,501 --> 00:13:24,435
or another witness
who can prove Nina's guilt.
283
00:13:24,770 --> 00:13:27,933
Yes, however, what can you
possibly uncover in less than 16 hours?
284
00:13:28,207 --> 00:13:30,175
I don't know, but we have to try.
285
00:13:33,045 --> 00:13:35,343
How many more times do we
have to go through these case files?
286
00:13:35,414 --> 00:13:36,904
As many as it takes.
287
00:13:36,982 --> 00:13:39,610
Beckett, we've got stacks
and stacks of hay here, but no needles.
288
00:13:39,685 --> 00:13:40,845
I think we need a new strategy.
289
00:13:41,554 --> 00:13:44,045
I can't believe
how badly I blew it up there.
290
00:13:44,123 --> 00:13:45,954
This is my fault, guys. I'm sorry.
291
00:13:46,025 --> 00:13:47,549
Don't do that to yourself.
292
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:49,790
We've all been tripped up
on the witness stand.
293
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,557
True. Back when I was in uniform,
294
00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:54,064
a defense attorney
got my head so turned around
295
00:13:54,133 --> 00:13:57,193
that I testified the defendant actually
kicked my ass when I tried to arrest her.
296
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:58,694
What's wrong with that?
297
00:14:00,706 --> 00:14:04,073
The defendant was a 75-year-old
woman in a wheelchair.
298
00:14:04,143 --> 00:14:05,804
I lost all credibility with the jury.
299
00:14:06,312 --> 00:14:09,372
To this day, we pass the park
where she feeds the birds,
300
00:14:09,481 --> 00:14:11,881
she snickers, turns to her nurse,
and tells her the tale
301
00:14:11,984 --> 00:14:13,975
of how she got one over
on poor little Javi.
302
00:14:14,053 --> 00:14:17,352
Ms. Lucinda. I will get her one day.
303
00:14:19,058 --> 00:14:23,017
But have any of you botched
your testimony in a murder trial?
304
00:14:26,732 --> 00:14:27,756
Exactly.
305
00:14:28,567 --> 00:14:30,330
Hey, Espo,
that story about Ms. Lucinda,
306
00:14:30,402 --> 00:14:33,496
so she still talks about
how she made a fool out of you?
307
00:14:33,572 --> 00:14:36,370
Yes. Thank you for rubbing it in,
Captain Beckett.
308
00:14:36,442 --> 00:14:38,637
No, you guys,
we're approaching this wrong.
309
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:40,906
I mean, we've been trying
to find a clue from the murder,
310
00:14:41,013 --> 00:14:44,676
whereas we should be looking
for a clue from after the murder.
311
00:14:44,750 --> 00:14:45,808
Yes.
312
00:14:46,352 --> 00:14:47,944
Nina's been held since her arrest.
313
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:49,578
She might've confessed something
to a cellmate.
314
00:14:50,289 --> 00:14:52,052
- Let's bring Nina's cellmate in.
- Mmm.
315
00:14:54,026 --> 00:14:55,584
Hey. Thank you.
316
00:14:55,928 --> 00:14:57,896
- For what?
- For not giving up on me.
317
00:14:58,230 --> 00:15:00,460
Well, you've never given up on me, so...
318
00:15:02,034 --> 00:15:04,400
Castle, wait. Uh, not here.
319
00:15:04,637 --> 00:15:06,605
Oh, right. We're separated. Oh.
320
00:15:07,273 --> 00:15:08,672
Are you okay? Do you have allergies?
321
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:11,103
No, that's the... That's the signal.
That's the "I love you" signal.
322
00:15:11,176 --> 00:15:13,940
Oh, yes. You really should
think of something better.
323
00:15:14,179 --> 00:15:15,669
- It's adorable.
- Mmm-hmm.
324
00:15:17,650 --> 00:15:20,278
Damn. That's a good photo of Nina.
325
00:15:20,386 --> 00:15:22,752
You know, in my mugshot,
I look like a train wreck.
326
00:15:22,821 --> 00:15:24,311
Probably because
I was high on crack at the time.
327
00:15:24,390 --> 00:15:25,516
Just answer the question.
328
00:15:25,591 --> 00:15:27,752
Has Nina revealed
anything about the murder?
329
00:15:27,826 --> 00:15:31,387
Yup. And between the three of us,
she's guilty as hell.
330
00:15:32,197 --> 00:15:33,824
What do you know?
331
00:15:34,833 --> 00:15:35,822
(SIGHS)
332
00:15:38,637 --> 00:15:41,071
RYAN: Okay, Bridget,
what do you want?
333
00:15:41,140 --> 00:15:43,108
Oh, what does any girl want, Detective?
334
00:15:43,175 --> 00:15:45,666
The personal satisfaction
of bringing a killer to justice?
335
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:48,474
50 bucks in my prison commissary
every week for the next 10 weeks.
336
00:15:48,747 --> 00:15:50,146
40 bucks for five weeks.
337
00:15:50,416 --> 00:15:52,179
Eight. And that's as low as I'll go.
338
00:15:52,251 --> 00:15:54,412
Deal, but you better
have some solid information.
339
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:58,048
Now, has Nina confessed
to the murder?
340
00:15:58,123 --> 00:16:00,148
No. But I know she did it.
341
00:16:00,659 --> 00:16:02,524
Look, here's the deal with Nina.
342
00:16:02,594 --> 00:16:04,528
She's a mouse. Doesn't talk much.
343
00:16:04,596 --> 00:16:05,893
Then one day she lets slip
344
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:08,399
she's worried the prosecution might
find out about her secret.
345
00:16:08,467 --> 00:16:09,593
What secret?
346
00:16:09,668 --> 00:16:11,067
Didn't say.
347
00:16:11,437 --> 00:16:14,338
I think it has to do
with her boyfriend or something.
348
00:16:14,406 --> 00:16:15,430
What boyfriend?
349
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:19,133
If Nina has a secret boyfriend out there,
350
00:16:19,211 --> 00:16:21,179
- there's a chance she confessed to him.
- Yeah.
351
00:16:21,246 --> 00:16:25,307
No, I'm just trying to figure out who Nina
was dating when she was arrested.
352
00:16:25,384 --> 00:16:27,215
- Am I working with the police?
- No.
353
00:16:27,286 --> 00:16:30,312
No, no. I went to high school with Nina.
354
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:33,085
What school? Uh... Taft?
355
00:16:34,293 --> 00:16:36,022
Hello? Uh...
356
00:16:36,495 --> 00:16:38,963
None of Nina's people are going
to help us build a case against her.
357
00:16:39,031 --> 00:16:41,829
We're gonna have to figure a different
way to identify Nina's boyfriend.
358
00:16:41,900 --> 00:16:44,300
I just did. Follow me.
359
00:16:44,370 --> 00:16:46,235
So I went through Nina's financials.
360
00:16:46,305 --> 00:16:48,500
It turns out, the night before the murder,
361
00:16:48,574 --> 00:16:50,735
Nina bought drinks
at a bar in the East Village.
362
00:16:50,809 --> 00:16:52,106
Now, that bar went out of business.
363
00:16:52,177 --> 00:16:55,010
However, the hotel next door
364
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,949
had surveillance footage
from that night. Look.
365
00:17:00,019 --> 00:17:01,247
Now bear in mind,
366
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,811
this is the night before
Nina killed Sadie.
367
00:17:03,889 --> 00:17:04,947
There's Nina.
368
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:07,424
- Is Nina's boyfriend in this?
- Not her boyfriend.
369
00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:10,360
Wait for it... Her girlfriend.
370
00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:13,024
Sadie?
371
00:17:13,098 --> 00:17:14,429
RYAN: Yup.
372
00:17:18,537 --> 00:17:21,597
(IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE) The victim
and the killer were having an affair!
373
00:17:21,673 --> 00:17:22,935
Why is my voice so high?
374
00:17:23,108 --> 00:17:24,097
(CLEARS THROAT)
375
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:36,484
You see, Beckett,
this is why I love the 12th Precinct.
376
00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:38,347
You guys never let me down.
377
00:17:38,424 --> 00:17:41,484
This recording gives you a new motive
for murder, and it's ironclad.
378
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,660
Nina and Sadie were having an affair.
379
00:17:43,729 --> 00:17:45,219
Clearly they were fighting,
380
00:17:45,297 --> 00:17:48,494
and Nina, most likely,
killed her in a crime of passion.
381
00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:52,367
Okay. I will have my people track down
former employees of this bar,
382
00:17:52,438 --> 00:17:54,770
and hopefully
one of them can corroborate the affair.
383
00:17:54,873 --> 00:17:57,433
Okay, and I'll have my team touch base
with Sadie's family and friends.
384
00:17:57,543 --> 00:18:00,512
Maybe they can shed some light as to
what was behind this little love affair.
385
00:18:04,149 --> 00:18:05,275
You see, Marcus?
386
00:18:06,385 --> 00:18:07,875
And you were worried. (CHUCKLES)
387
00:18:11,390 --> 00:18:14,052
Okay, boys, we found Nina's coffin.
388
00:18:14,126 --> 00:18:15,821
Now, let's nail it shut.
389
00:18:15,894 --> 00:18:17,555
I'll talk to Nina's employees.
390
00:18:17,629 --> 00:18:20,063
And I'll go talk with her friends.
391
00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:27,166
Sadie was having an affair
with that woman?
392
00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:28,569
That is so twisted.
393
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,972
Well, you never know
what goes on behind closed doors.
394
00:18:31,043 --> 00:18:33,534
So you knew nothing
about Sadie's extramarital affairs?
395
00:18:33,846 --> 00:18:35,336
She was good at keeping secrets.
396
00:18:35,581 --> 00:18:38,106
Then why hire the catering company
that Nina worked for?
397
00:18:38,183 --> 00:18:39,548
ROGER: Sadie's recommendation.
398
00:18:39,618 --> 00:18:42,519
She went to an event that they catered,
said the food was amazing.
399
00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:47,252
I bet that's how Sadie and Nina met.
What do you think, Richard?
400
00:18:47,826 --> 00:18:48,918
Entirely possible.
401
00:18:49,027 --> 00:18:52,588
See, I told you I was a Nikki Heat fan.
I even think like her, too.
402
00:18:52,664 --> 00:18:54,894
- It's uncanny.
- (CHUCKLING) I know.
403
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:57,435
It's good that you moved the basketball
hoop away from the townhouse.
404
00:18:57,503 --> 00:19:00,267
Oh, yeah, those things, they're just
an invitation for burglars to break in.
405
00:19:00,339 --> 00:19:02,330
Or murderers, like Nina, to break out.
406
00:19:02,474 --> 00:19:05,443
Well, we always keep the hoop there.
Nina moved it.
407
00:19:05,511 --> 00:19:09,106
Yeah, we didn't even realize that
she had until the day after the murder.
408
00:19:09,181 --> 00:19:10,978
How are you sure
it was Nina that moved it?
409
00:19:11,049 --> 00:19:16,077
Well, if it wasn't her,
who else could it have been?
410
00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:19,549
Ryan, a moment. Excuse us.
411
00:19:22,461 --> 00:19:25,555
The basketball hoop being moved
speaks to a premeditative act.
412
00:19:25,631 --> 00:19:27,963
Yeah, but our theory of this whole thing
is a crime of passion.
413
00:19:28,033 --> 00:19:31,002
- What are you thinking?
- That we don't know the whole story.
414
00:19:31,069 --> 00:19:35,005
Someone else was up here
before I caught Nina over Sadie.
415
00:19:35,073 --> 00:19:36,267
Please tell me you're joking.
416
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:38,866
The fact the basketball hoop
was moved is significant
417
00:19:38,944 --> 00:19:41,845
because Nina didn't have
any reason to do it.
418
00:19:41,914 --> 00:19:44,439
Kate, why am I back here?
419
00:19:44,516 --> 00:19:46,108
Marcus, this is a legitimate concern.
420
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,779
If Nina didn't move the hoop,
then who did? And why?
421
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:50,185
Let's stick with what we know.
422
00:19:50,355 --> 00:19:53,449
Castle saw Nina kill Sadie. End of story.
423
00:19:53,525 --> 00:19:56,358
I'm not actually 100% sure
about that anymore.
424
00:19:56,428 --> 00:19:59,864
Wait, don't tell me you're buying into
Caleb's ridiculous defense.
425
00:19:59,965 --> 00:20:03,196
Rick, you got your bell rung
in court today. It happens.
426
00:20:03,268 --> 00:20:06,601
Caleb Brown is a hell of an attorney.
Now you've got to let it go.
427
00:20:06,672 --> 00:20:09,004
- So you're not going to investigate?
- You saw the tape.
428
00:20:09,107 --> 00:20:12,008
They were having an affair.
It's a crime of passion.
429
00:20:12,077 --> 00:20:14,637
Nina is guilty, plain and simple.
430
00:20:14,713 --> 00:20:16,305
Don't we have to be sure?
431
00:20:16,381 --> 00:20:19,612
Rick, look at me. I'm sure.
432
00:20:19,685 --> 00:20:21,346
- Marcus, if we could just talk to...
- MARCUS: Stop!
433
00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:25,288
This case cannot afford to have you
pour any more doubt into people's ears.
434
00:20:30,095 --> 00:20:32,256
Listen, I know you two
are separated and all,
435
00:20:32,364 --> 00:20:33,922
but could you please talk to him?
436
00:20:33,999 --> 00:20:34,988
Mmm-hmm.
437
00:20:43,976 --> 00:20:45,807
Castle, are you sure
that Nina's innocent?
438
00:20:46,645 --> 00:20:48,112
I don't know.
439
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:51,044
But what's worse
than letting a guilty person go free?
440
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:53,608
Sending an innocent one to jail.
441
00:20:55,754 --> 00:20:58,484
All right, go home. I'll sneak by later.
442
00:21:00,826 --> 00:21:02,623
MARTHA: So, you don't trust
what you saw?
443
00:21:02,694 --> 00:21:04,559
I don't know that I can anymore.
444
00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:09,465
I just keep running it in my head,
over and over again.
445
00:21:09,568 --> 00:21:12,935
And you think Nina was just trying
to help this poor woman?
446
00:21:13,005 --> 00:21:17,169
Nina's back was to me.
I didn't actually see the death blow. I...
447
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:21,436
You gotta believe me, you guys,
it really looked like she did it.
448
00:21:21,513 --> 00:21:23,913
Mmm. Well, I believe you.
It's just, honestly,
449
00:21:23,982 --> 00:21:26,815
- it sounds to me like Nina killed her.
- Me, too.
450
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:28,612
I have to find out for sure.
451
00:21:29,121 --> 00:21:30,816
Dad, there's no way to do that.
452
00:21:30,889 --> 00:21:32,083
I know.
453
00:21:33,959 --> 00:21:35,187
Or is there?
454
00:21:36,695 --> 00:21:38,856
I've got it,
and I'd only have to do two things.
455
00:21:38,930 --> 00:21:41,398
One, delay the trial
so I have a chance to investigate,
456
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:44,492
and two, have a one-on-one
conversation with Nina.
457
00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:47,170
Uh, Nina's lawyer will never allow it.
458
00:21:47,472 --> 00:21:50,464
Which is why I'm going to have to be
very clever with how I go about this.
459
00:21:50,542 --> 00:21:51,907
I take it you have a plan?

00:21:51,977 --> 00:21:53,467
You know I do, Mother.
461
00:21:53,545 --> 00:21:55,410
Might I ask you what it is?
462
00:21:55,781 --> 00:21:57,806

yesterday on the stand.

I have a reputation to protect.
So I would like a do-over.
469
00:22:19,371 --> 00:22:20,895
- A "do-over?"
- A do-over.
470
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:23,634
Okay, two things. One, that's stupid.
471
00:22:23,709 --> 00:22:26,473
And two, your presence
in my chambers is highly unethical.
472
00:22:26,545 --> 00:22:28,536
I could hold you
in contempt of court for this.
473
00:22:28,613 --> 00:22:32,174

of your friendship with the mayor.

So even though you don't deserve it,
I'm gonna let you go.

out of the building, please.

Oh.

Your Honor, I see you attended

What's going on?
503
00:24:03,575 --> 00:24:05,372
Judge postponed your trial
until tomorrow.
504
00:24:05,444 --> 00:24:08,880
You'll be transported back to Rikers
at the end of day.
505
00:24:08,947 --> 00:24:11,347
Hey, so what are you in for?
506
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:12,574
(SCOFFS)
507
00:24:12,651 --> 00:24:14,209
- Sorry, bad joke.
- (DOOR CLOSES)
508
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:15,412
Don't talk to me.
509
00:24:17,055 --> 00:24:20,286
Nina, look,
I know about the affair with Sadie.
510
00:24:20,992 --> 00:24:23,984
The ADA knows it, too.
He is going to use it to bury you.
511
00:24:24,196 --> 00:24:25,629
Why are you telling me this?
512
00:24:25,697 --> 00:24:28,029
I was there, Nina. I saw you.
513
00:24:28,099 --> 00:24:29,464
I saw you with my own eyes.
514
00:24:29,534 --> 00:24:32,002
I didn't kill Sadie. I loved her.
515
00:24:32,370 --> 00:24:34,395
So, yeah, you were there,
but you saw it wrong.
516
00:24:34,473 --> 00:24:35,735
So tell me what I missed.
517
00:24:36,007 --> 00:24:37,907
I found Sadie on the ground.
518
00:24:37,976 --> 00:24:39,637
Someone had already stabbed her.
519
00:24:39,744 --> 00:24:43,145
She was struggling to breathe.
So I pulled the poker out.
520
00:24:43,448 --> 00:24:45,848
I was trying to help her.
521
00:24:46,718 --> 00:24:47,844
So, then, why did you run?
522
00:24:47,919 --> 00:24:50,353
I knew how it looked. I panicked.
523
00:24:50,422 --> 00:24:52,652
Why didn't you tell that to the police
when they caught you?
524
00:24:52,724 --> 00:24:55,454
Please. I've been arrested before.
525
00:24:55,527 --> 00:24:57,859
And I got screwed over. You know why?
526
00:24:58,196 --> 00:25:00,164
Because none of the cops believed me.
527
00:25:00,232 --> 00:25:02,291
I wasn't going to make
the same mistake twice.
528
00:25:02,367 --> 00:25:04,631
- Did you at least tell your lawyer?
- Of course.
529
00:25:04,703 --> 00:25:08,537
I told my original public defender
all about the affair.
530
00:25:08,607 --> 00:25:10,734
But he said
it'd just come across as motive,
531
00:25:10,809 --> 00:25:13,004
which, surprise, surprise, it did.
532
00:25:13,879 --> 00:25:15,141
What about the fight?
533
00:25:15,247 --> 00:25:18,614
The fight you had with Sadie outside
the bar, the night before the murder?
534
00:25:18,683 --> 00:25:19,877
That was nothing.
535
00:25:20,352 --> 00:25:21,376
Nina.
536
00:25:22,020 --> 00:25:25,353
Nina, I think you're telling the truth,
537
00:25:25,423 --> 00:25:28,950
but I can't help you
unless you tell me the whole story.
538
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:36,467
That fight was about a couple of things.
539
00:25:36,535 --> 00:25:38,469
I was sick of sneaking around.
540
00:25:39,037 --> 00:25:40,402
But Sadie was all paranoid
541
00:25:40,472 --> 00:25:42,838
because she'd been caught
cheating with other guys in the past.
542
00:25:43,308 --> 00:25:44,707
Other guys?
543
00:25:45,477 --> 00:25:47,001
So you were her first...
544
00:25:48,213 --> 00:25:50,841
Lesbian?
Yes. Is that a problem?
545
00:25:50,916 --> 00:25:53,009
No, not with me.
You should check my search history.
546
00:25:53,084 --> 00:25:55,450
But you said you were arguing
about a couple of things.
547
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,112
What really pissed me off
548
00:25:57,188 --> 00:26:00,282
was that Sadie asked me
to do something at that cocktail party.
549
00:26:00,358 --> 00:26:01,450
What did she ask you to do?
550
00:26:01,793 --> 00:26:03,920
Bring her Roger Masters'
empty champagne glass.
551
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:06,754
Roger Masters, the host?
552
00:26:06,831 --> 00:26:08,355
Why would she want his empty glass?
553
00:26:08,433 --> 00:26:09,593
She wouldn't say.
554
00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:13,434
And that really got me fired up,
because if I got caught stealing,
555
00:26:13,505 --> 00:26:16,133
even something as trivial
as a champagne glass,
556
00:26:16,207 --> 00:26:17,697
I would've lost my job.
557
00:26:17,842 --> 00:26:20,003
But you stole it for her anyway,
didn't you?
558
00:26:20,946 --> 00:26:23,073
At the end of the day,
I'd do anything for Sadie.
559
00:26:23,148 --> 00:26:24,479
And she knew it.
560
00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:27,074
She had me wrapped around her finger
the moment I met her.
561
00:26:27,452 --> 00:26:29,943
Walk me through it.
Tell me what happened.
562
00:26:30,021 --> 00:26:32,148
When Roger was done
with his champagne,
563
00:26:32,223 --> 00:26:35,681
I retrieved the empty glass
and quietly handed it off to Sadie.
564
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,955
- What did she do with it?
- Went upstairs.
565
00:26:38,029 --> 00:26:41,328
I followed her up, like, 20 minutes later
to see what was going on.
566
00:26:41,399 --> 00:26:42,730
That's when I found her.
567
00:26:43,101 --> 00:26:45,069
- And you told all this to your lawyer?
- Yes.
568
00:26:45,136 --> 00:26:49,505
But my original public defender
was too overloaded with other cases.
569
00:26:49,574 --> 00:26:52,304
And truth be told,
he thought I was guilty.
570
00:26:52,377 --> 00:26:55,540
He wanted me
to take the ADA's plea deal.
571
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:59,311
Thank God Caleb Brown took over.
At least he's fighting for me.

00:27:02,354 --> 00:27:05,346
Yo, how's it hanging, jailbird?
574
00:27:05,423 --> 00:27:07,914
You already pissed off the ADA,
so, what, you figured,
575
00:27:07,993 --> 00:27:09,961
why the hell not
piss off the judge as well?
576
00:27:10,028 --> 00:27:11,655
Yeah. Can you guys get me out of here?
577
00:27:11,730 --> 00:27:13,561
Already done.
The bailiff called us to come get you.

(DOOR BUZZES)
579
00:27:19,437 --> 00:27:21,098
I'm going to figure out what happened.
580
00:27:21,606 --> 00:27:22,937
I promise.
581
00:27:25,844 --> 00:27:27,141
Are you out of your mind?
582
00:27:27,212 --> 00:27:28,702
I didn't do anything wrong.
583
00:27:28,780 --> 00:27:30,907
You tricked a judge to postpone a trial,
584
00:27:30,982 --> 00:27:32,813
and then you illegally questioned
the defendant.
585
00:27:33,151 --> 00:27:35,619
Yeah, but other than that,
I didn't do anything wrong.
586
00:27:35,687 --> 00:27:38,918
Yo, Beckett, Castle's convinced
that Nina is innocent now.
587
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:41,686
Because what?
Because Sadie wanted Roger's glass?
588
00:27:42,427 --> 00:27:44,588
I think she was after his DNA.
589
00:27:45,463 --> 00:27:46,452
Why?
590
00:27:46,631 --> 00:27:50,499
Roger was her cameraman for 20 years.
591
00:27:50,602 --> 00:27:53,594
Nina said that Sadie had
had affairs with men in the past.
592
00:27:53,672 --> 00:27:55,139
Maybe they'd had one,
593
00:27:55,206 --> 00:27:57,299
and Sadie's daughter
was actually Roger's.
594
00:27:58,009 --> 00:28:00,773
So, uh, what, you think
that Sadie cooked this whole thing up
595
00:28:00,845 --> 00:28:03,507
so she could get a DNA sample
for a paternity test?
596
00:28:03,615 --> 00:28:05,446
Only one way to find out.
597
00:28:05,517 --> 00:28:06,916
What do you want us to do, Captain?
598
00:28:06,985 --> 00:28:08,612
- I...
- Beckett, look.
599
00:28:11,923 --> 00:28:14,517
Uh, go talk to Roger.
See what he knows.
600
00:28:16,127 --> 00:28:19,619
- What is he doing here?
- I'll handle this. You just be normal.
601
00:28:21,066 --> 00:28:23,159
CALEB: Captain, you crossed the line.
602
00:28:23,234 --> 00:28:25,702
I know that you had Castle go in
and interview my client...
603
00:28:25,770 --> 00:28:28,238
Look, Counselor,
Castle and I are separated.
604
00:28:28,306 --> 00:28:31,036
He's no longer associated
with the 12th Precinct.
605
00:28:31,109 --> 00:28:34,636
So neither I, nor the NYPD
can be held accountable for his actions.
606
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:37,273
- So you knew nothing about it?
- That's what I said, isn't it?
607
00:28:37,816 --> 00:28:39,841
- I don't believe you.
- And I don't care.
608
00:28:40,051 --> 00:28:41,177
Typical cop.
609
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,612
Wait.
610
00:28:44,856 --> 00:28:45,880
What?
611
00:28:46,491 --> 00:28:49,051
Look, if you repeat what
I'm about to tell you, I will deny it.
612
00:28:51,229 --> 00:28:53,220
I have people looking into Nina's case.
613
00:28:54,999 --> 00:28:57,331
- Do you believe that she's innocent?
- I didn't say that.
614
00:28:57,402 --> 00:28:59,336
But I think we have to be thorough.
615
00:28:59,404 --> 00:29:01,065
And now that
the trial has been postponed,
616
00:29:01,139 --> 00:29:03,630
we have time to investigate further.
617
00:29:03,708 --> 00:29:05,369
I appreciate that, Captain.
618
00:29:06,311 --> 00:29:09,178
Counselor, Nina wasn't your client
until yesterday morning.
619
00:29:09,247 --> 00:29:11,078
Why are you so passionate
about this case?
620
00:29:11,549 --> 00:29:13,813
Well, for the same reason
that I assume you are.

- Justice.

It's Caleb Brown.

Yeah.
626
00:29:25,897 --> 00:29:27,262
Yeah, I'm on my way.
627
00:29:27,332 --> 00:29:28,424
So while the judge was heading home,
628
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:29,831
she called a neighbor
who checked on her house.
629
00:29:29,901 --> 00:29:32,096
Turns out
the house was not burglarized.
630
00:29:32,170 --> 00:29:34,138
Anyway, she's ordered
that the trial resume in a half an hour.
631
00:29:34,205 --> 00:29:36,935
So if your people are going to help
prove Nina's innocence,
632
00:29:37,208 --> 00:29:38,903
they'd better hurry.

Sorry for the interruption.
This won't take long.

00:29:57,629 --> 00:30:00,359
It actually can't. The trial is gonna
start again in a few minutes,

who the real killer is

gets convicted.

What do you mean, innocent?
You saw that woman kill Sadie.

No, Roger. I only thought I did.

You see, the mind is a funny thing.
645

It doesn't like a vacuum,
so it fills in the blanks.

Much like when I discovered
Sadie and Nina were having an affair,
647

Nina killed her in a lover's quarrel.

Sadie wanted your glass.
If not for DNA, then why?

00:31:22,647 --> 00:31:26,208
- Perhaps a fingerprint?
- Why would Sadie need his fingerprint?

that you didn't knock up Sadie

doesn't mean
you weren't knocking boots.

She snuck back and took it for herself.

And then she smuggled it to the States,
tried to cut me out.

to have the great Richard Castle read
a couple of chapters out of his novel.

Okay, so you went to Sadie,
demanding more money, she refused.
733

And then when you caught her
in your office that night,

I was in the basement getting baked

that I would stop toking.

No, Your Honor, once was plenty.

but the defense has a witness
to call to the stand.
767
00:36:08,866 --> 00:36:12,700
Uh, Your Honor, the defense would like
to call Richard Castle to the stand.
768

- So, Nina definitely didn't do it.
- Tell me something I don't know.

First and foremost, my own.

Bad timing, you say.
784

It was my bad timing that brought me
to the crime scene too late.

Had I gotten there earlier,
786
00:37:03,087 --> 00:37:05,783

Okay. But then my client ran.
788
00:37:09,527 --> 00:37:11,518
- Why?
- Because she knew how it looked.
789
00:37:12,363 --> 00:37:15,264
While we're on the topic of bad timing,
let's not fail to mention
790
00:37:15,333 --> 00:37:18,063
the timing of Nina originally being
paired with a public defender

Yes. Good people of the jury,

that Sadie was having an affair
with her husband, Roger.

But she was wrong, and so were you.

I have absolutely no idea
what you're talking about.
828
00:38:59,136 --> 00:39:02,299
Sure you do.
You saw your wife head up those stairs.
829
00:39:02,373 --> 00:39:05,536
You had your suspicions,
she had cheated on you before.
830
00:39:05,609 --> 00:39:09,568
So you headed out to the yard,
you moved the basketball hoop over

so you could climb up it
and get a better look.

But Sadie caught you
spying in the window, didn't she?

00:39:15,419 --> 00:39:17,944
So you came inside and accused her
of having an affair with Roger.

What I meant was...
841
00:39:38,342 --> 00:39:39,400
What happened, Lloyd?
842
00:39:39,477 --> 00:39:41,672
Did you lose control?
Is that why you killed her?
843
00:39:45,015 --> 00:39:48,883
(VOICE BREAKING)
I didn't mean to. I didn't mean it.
844
00:39:48,986 --> 00:39:50,578
I loved Sadie. But I just... I got...
845
00:39:50,654 --> 00:39:52,815
Mr. Beakman, my advice to you
would be to stop talking,
846
00:39:52,890 --> 00:39:54,858
and find yourself an attorney.
847
00:39:55,192 --> 00:39:57,683
Mr. Beakman,
you're under arrest for murder.
848
00:39:57,995 --> 00:40:00,259
Come on. Hands.
849
00:40:00,331 --> 00:40:01,320
(HANDCUFFS CLICKING)
850
00:40:02,533 --> 00:40:03,522
(EXHALES SHARPLY)
851
00:40:03,801 --> 00:40:05,894
MARCUS: Your Honor,
in light of these developments,
852
00:40:05,970 --> 00:40:10,168
the People file a motion to dismiss
all charges against Nina O'Keefe.
853
00:40:10,474 --> 00:40:12,066
JUDGE: Granted. Case dismissed.
854
00:40:12,443 --> 00:40:13,671
Thank you.
855
00:40:13,911 --> 00:40:14,900
(GAVEL BANGS)
856
00:40:17,815 --> 00:40:19,874
Great job, guys.
You should be proud of yourselves.
857
00:40:19,950 --> 00:40:21,144
- Why? We blew it.
- Yeah.
858
00:40:21,218 --> 00:40:23,948
For five months, we had
an innocent woman rotting in jail.
859
00:40:24,021 --> 00:40:25,545
No, that one's not on us.
860
00:40:25,623 --> 00:40:27,955
Nina's original defense attorney
did that to her.
861
00:40:28,025 --> 00:40:30,687
At the end of the day,
we're the ones who brought her justice.
862
00:40:30,761 --> 00:40:31,819
ESPOSITO: Speaking of which,
863
00:40:31,896 --> 00:40:35,024
I gotta take back everything bad
I've ever said about defense attorneys.
864
00:40:35,099 --> 00:40:36,361
That guy, Caleb Brown, he's all right.
865
00:40:36,434 --> 00:40:38,800
Yeah, he's a stand-up guy.
866
00:40:38,869 --> 00:40:40,029
- See you later, Beckett.
- Yeah.
867
00:40:40,104 --> 00:40:42,436
- We're on night shift.
- BECKETT: Okay. Good night, guys.
868
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:44,430
(DOOR CLOSES)
869
00:40:44,542 --> 00:40:46,533
Caleb's a "stand-up guy."
870
00:40:47,411 --> 00:40:49,743
- If they only knew.
- No. They're right.
871
00:40:50,381 --> 00:40:53,282
I mean, Caleb is a monster,
but what we learned today
872
00:40:53,350 --> 00:40:55,910
is that he is a monster
who is desperate to do good.
873
00:40:56,687 --> 00:40:57,711
So?
874
00:40:57,888 --> 00:41:00,288
So, we were looking for his weakness,
875
00:41:00,357 --> 00:41:02,222
and we just found it.
876
00:41:05,329 --> 00:41:07,797
CASTLE: Hey! Celebratory champagne!
877
00:41:08,299 --> 00:41:11,029
Felt appropriate given the twist it played
in today's courtroom drama.
878
00:41:11,101 --> 00:41:14,298
Yes, enough drama
to fill a legal thriller.
879
00:41:14,371 --> 00:41:15,895
Maybe you should try a new genre.
880
00:41:15,973 --> 00:41:18,737
Maybe I should try to make sure
I never testify in court again.
881
00:41:18,809 --> 00:41:21,277
You kept an innocent woman
out of jail, Rick.
882
00:41:21,345 --> 00:41:22,334
I'm proud of you for that.
883
00:41:22,580 --> 00:41:24,309
Couldn't have done it without you.
884
00:41:27,551 --> 00:41:28,882
So...
885
00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:31,484
How is your investigation into LokSat
coming along?
886
00:41:31,555 --> 00:41:32,783
You know I can't tell you about that.
887
00:41:32,990 --> 00:41:34,821
- Right, right. For my own safety.
- Uh...
888
00:41:36,026 --> 00:41:39,018
But I can tell you this.
I'm getting close.
889
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:42,458
That's good, because so am I.
890
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:50,000
