00:07:31,184 --> 00:07:32,446
Oh, That is so sweet. (CHUCKLES)
171
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:36,050
I had a mean roundhouse kick,
but I wasn't much of an actor.
172
00:07:36,155 --> 00:07:37,679
Well, never stopped me.
173
00:07:37,757 --> 00:07:38,746
(ALL CHUCKLE)
174
00:07:38,858 --> 00:07:40,382
Oh, uh, this is my son, Trey.
175
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:41,892
Good to meet you.
176
00:07:42,528 --> 00:07:44,359
Uh, Mr. Harmon,
could we speak privately?
177
00:07:45,431 --> 00:07:46,420
Oh, sure.
178
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:47,822
(GRUNTING)
179
00:07:48,634 --> 00:07:50,829
BROCK: Transplant from
a bone-marrow donor.
180
00:07:50,903 --> 00:07:52,700
That's what put Lance
in remission, saved his life.
181
00:07:52,805 --> 00:07:55,035
He knew he'd been
given a second chance.
182
00:07:55,408 --> 00:07:57,376
He got sober, cleaned up his act.
183
00:07:57,477 --> 00:07:59,342
That's why I gave him
a part in the movie.
184
00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:01,642
This could have
been his big comeback.
185
00:08:01,714 --> 00:08:04,683
So we understand
that he was staying with you.
186
00:08:04,750 --> 00:08:05,842
How did he seem?
187
00:08:06,152 --> 00:08:08,643
Quiet. Secretive, I'd even say.
188
00:08:09,322 --> 00:08:13,918
Lance was always a man of few words,
but even fewer this time out.
189
00:08:14,026 --> 00:08:17,860
Any idea what he was doing on
the Lower East Side last night at 11:30?
190
00:08:17,930 --> 00:08:18,954
I didn't even know he was in town.
191
00:08:19,365 --> 00:08:20,559
You said he was staying with you.
192
00:08:20,833 --> 00:08:23,028
Right, Lance wrapped last week.
193
00:08:23,102 --> 00:08:26,265
I was told transportation took him
straight from the set to the airport.
194
00:08:26,372 --> 00:08:28,340
Okay, well, my detectives
will need to speak with the driver,
195
00:08:28,407 --> 00:08:30,375
along with anyone else
that Lance knew.
196
00:08:30,443 --> 00:08:31,432
'Course.
197
00:08:32,411 --> 00:08:35,005
Um, what exactly happened?
How'd he die?
198
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:38,175
Um, he was strangled.
199
00:08:39,285 --> 00:08:40,445
With a garrote.
200
00:08:42,855 --> 00:08:43,879
Does that mean something to you?
201
00:08:44,957 --> 00:08:46,754
You know Lance was CNI, right?
202
00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:49,018
BECKETT: Spanish Intelligence.
203
00:08:49,095 --> 00:08:50,653
But what does that
have to do with his murder?
204
00:08:50,796 --> 00:08:52,525
Everything.
205
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:53,995
He was a CNI assassin.
206
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:57,133
That was his signature.
He killed people with a garrote.
207
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:00,770
Which is why it was used to kill him.
208
00:09:00,873 --> 00:09:03,467
Lance was murdered because
he's the Spanish Jason Bourne!
209
00:09:03,576 --> 00:09:06,909
Why, Castle? Because a B action
movie star in a kimono said so?
210
00:09:06,979 --> 00:09:08,537
Because it makes sense.
211
00:09:08,614 --> 00:09:11,981
Lance was drawing on his experience
as a ruthless CNI operative
212
00:09:12,084 --> 00:09:13,278
to play action heroes.
213
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:15,149
But his shadowy past
caught up with him.
214
00:09:15,254 --> 00:09:18,815
Maybe it was revenge
for a hit he did back in the day.
215
00:09:18,925 --> 00:09:21,291
Kill him the way he killed.
216
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:23,419
Castle, he left CNI 30 years ago.
217
00:09:23,496 --> 00:09:25,657
Why would his past
catch up to him now?
218
00:09:25,765 --> 00:09:28,791
Mr. Castle might just be right about CNI.
219
00:09:29,035 --> 00:09:30,059
Ah-ha!
220
00:09:30,136 --> 00:09:31,160
How am I right?
221
00:09:31,270 --> 00:09:33,932
Esposito and Ryan are off
interviewing folks on the set,
222
00:09:34,006 --> 00:09:36,099
but before they left,
they got on to something.
223
00:09:36,175 --> 00:09:37,904
They pulled Lance's phone records,
224
00:09:37,977 --> 00:09:41,572
and the day he died, he made
a phone call to Interpol in Spain.
225
00:09:41,714 --> 00:09:44,410
To the office of one Enrique Gomez.
226
00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:46,211
What does Gomez have to do with CNI?
227
00:09:46,285 --> 00:09:48,981
According to his bio,
Gomez used to work there.
228
00:09:49,088 --> 00:09:51,318
At the same time Lance DeLorca did.
229
00:09:52,024 --> 00:09:54,458
So Lance reaches out
to another ex-agent,
230
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:55,891
and he's killed with a garrote?
231
00:09:57,063 --> 00:09:58,087
Mark my words, (SIGHS)
232
00:09:58,164 --> 00:10:00,758
This case is gonna lead us
into a labyrinthian world of deceit,
233
00:10:00,833 --> 00:10:03,427
villainy and international espionage.
234
00:10:04,570 --> 00:10:06,231
This is better than one of his movies.
235
00:10:06,739 --> 00:10:08,104
After what I saw, it'd have to be.
236
00:10:18,217 --> 00:10:19,275
Yeah, thanks.
237
00:10:20,486 --> 00:10:22,681
Update. I contacted Interpol
238
00:10:22,755 --> 00:10:24,985
to track down
that guy Lance called, Enrique Gomez.
239
00:10:25,491 --> 00:10:28,688
Well, it turns out Gomez is here
in New York for a meeting at the UN.
240
00:10:28,961 --> 00:10:30,485
Where was he last night at 11:30?
241
00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:33,760
On a red-eye in from Madrid.
He arrived early this morning.
242
00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:34,925
So he's not our killer.
243
00:10:35,001 --> 00:10:36,764
But Interpol will send him
over here for an interview.
244
00:10:37,536 --> 00:10:39,333
He might have insight on the murder.
245
00:10:39,438 --> 00:10:41,804
Well, I talked to CNI to ask them
about Lance's time there,
246
00:10:41,874 --> 00:10:44,468
about missions that he was involved in,
enemies that he might have had,
247
00:10:44,543 --> 00:10:46,135
and they are stonewalling me.
248
00:10:46,212 --> 00:10:48,043
Intelligence agencies like CNI
249
00:10:48,147 --> 00:10:50,877
avoid disclosing
information on their employees.
250
00:10:50,983 --> 00:10:52,814
But I do have contacts
in the State Department.
251
00:10:52,985 --> 00:10:54,509
Let me just ask around.
252
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:57,885
Great. I've reached out
to my guys in Washington as well.
253
00:10:58,190 --> 00:11:00,681
Hey, Beckett. I think we got
something from that movie set.
254
00:11:00,793 --> 00:11:03,125
We talked to the driver
who took Lance to the airport.
255
00:11:03,195 --> 00:11:04,685
Only that's not what he did.
256
00:11:04,797 --> 00:11:08,233
Lance asked the driver to drop him off
at some seedy hotel on Broome Street.
257
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:10,162
ESPOSITO: And he didn't want
anybody to know about it.
258
00:11:10,236 --> 00:11:12,966
He paid the driver 100 bucks to lie
and say he dropped Lance off at JFK.
259
00:11:13,539 --> 00:11:14,733
Why would he go to this hotel?
260
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,637
Well, that's where it gets weird.
261
00:11:16,709 --> 00:11:18,006
The unis we sent to canvass said
262
00:11:18,077 --> 00:11:20,136
that Lance had rented
a room there for the past week.
263
00:11:20,212 --> 00:11:22,976
Under the name Rico Cruz,
his character from Hard Kill.
264
00:11:23,883 --> 00:11:26,579
Uh, okay, have unis
check for security video at the hotel,
265
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:29,416
and let's round up any of Lance's
personal effects from his room.
266
00:11:29,488 --> 00:11:30,477
RYAN: Yeah.
267
00:11:30,556 --> 00:11:32,717
Thanks, L.T.
268
00:11:32,792 --> 00:11:33,952
You know, I don't understand.
269
00:11:34,026 --> 00:11:36,859
Why would Lance leave
Brock Harmon's Fifth Avenue digs
270
00:11:36,929 --> 00:11:38,590
to go stay in a flophouse?
271
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:41,529
And without telling anyone.
He was definitely up to something.
272
00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:47,965
Hey! A Hard Kill DVD. Looks like Lance
was trying to relive the old days.
273
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,871
RYAN: "Time to hit Cruz control."
274
00:11:50,042 --> 00:11:52,943
You know, maybe that's
what I need. A catchphrase.
275
00:11:53,012 --> 00:11:54,172
"Time to mete out justice."
276
00:11:55,347 --> 00:11:57,281
"Time for prison time."
277
00:11:57,783 --> 00:11:59,114
Yeah, you keep working on that, bro.
278
00:11:59,218 --> 00:12:01,448
"Time to pay the bill for doing the kill."
279
00:12:01,554 --> 00:12:02,919
Okay, on second thought, don't.
280
00:12:04,023 --> 00:12:06,355
Hey, building schematics?
281
00:12:06,792 --> 00:12:08,657
There's a bunch
of weird stuff in this box.
282
00:12:08,928 --> 00:12:12,125
Soldering iron, blue craft paint,
283
00:12:12,798 --> 00:12:16,131
a microphone, a USB drive.
Both empty cases.
284
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:18,135
Looks like he was building something.
285
00:12:18,237 --> 00:12:19,261
Like a recording device.
286
00:12:19,638 --> 00:12:21,936
And then he added stickers to it?
287
00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:23,372
Stickers? What the hell is that about?
288
00:12:23,442 --> 00:12:25,205
I don't know,
but the two and five are missing.
289
00:12:25,277 --> 00:12:26,266
Hmm.
290
00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:31,781
"Trey." Hey, this must
be Trey Harmon, Brock Harmon's kid.
291
00:12:32,718 --> 00:12:34,117
Why would Lance call him?
292
00:12:34,787 --> 00:12:36,948
He wanted to ask me
about the New York club scene.
293
00:12:37,056 --> 00:12:38,785
That's my thing. I'm a club promoter.
294
00:12:38,891 --> 00:12:40,791
But I kind of shut him down,
to be honest.
295
00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:41,849
Why is that?
296
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:44,259
After the cancer, he got sober.
297
00:12:44,330 --> 00:12:45,797
No way I was gonna help him
298
00:12:45,865 --> 00:12:47,492
fall off the wagon
and start partying again.
299
00:12:47,633 --> 00:12:48,622
Hmm.
300
00:12:48,901 --> 00:12:50,425
Do you recognize this?
301
00:12:50,503 --> 00:12:52,767
Think it might be
the floor plan to a club?
302
00:12:52,838 --> 00:12:53,827
(MAN GROANING)
303
00:12:54,140 --> 00:12:55,505
- BROCK: I barely touched you.
- (CLATTERING)
304
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:57,166
I don't know.
I can't really tell what that is.
305
00:12:57,276 --> 00:12:58,971
Did Lance have this?
306
00:12:59,078 --> 00:13:02,309
Yeah, and we don't think
that he wanted to party.
307
00:13:02,414 --> 00:13:04,473
Did he explain to you
why he was interested in clubs?
308
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:05,539
Not really.
309
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:07,882
He just said that there was something
he needed to take care of.
310
00:13:08,954 --> 00:13:11,445
CASTLE: "There was something
he needed to take care of."
311
00:13:12,024 --> 00:13:13,150
I have a theory!
312
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:15,124
Great! 'Cause right now,
I could use one.
313
00:13:15,194 --> 00:13:17,594
It's a classic action movie plot device.
314
00:13:17,663 --> 00:13:19,255
Lance, his Black Op days
long behind him,
315
00:13:19,331 --> 00:13:22,164
decides to go on one final mission.
316
00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:24,361
To vanquish his old nemesis.
317
00:13:24,703 --> 00:13:25,692
Which would be?
318
00:13:26,338 --> 00:13:29,466
Uh, it's a rival assassin, who was once
his best friend but then betrayed him.
319
00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:31,839
Or, actually, a Blofeld-style supervillain,
320
00:13:31,944 --> 00:13:33,434
who killed Lance's wife
and then disappeared.
321
00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:35,977
Yeah, but Kat Kingsley is still alive.
322
00:13:36,282 --> 00:13:39,410
No, Lance's other wife
from his tragic but secret CNI past.
323
00:13:39,485 --> 00:13:40,747
Now, I admit I'm
a little sketchy on the details
324
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:42,287
of the mission and the nemesis,
325
00:13:42,822 --> 00:13:46,656
but bottom line is,
Lance embarked on a mission.
326
00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:49,928
The years had caught up
with him, he had lost his step.
327
00:13:49,995 --> 00:13:51,485
So he was dispatched
by another operative
328
00:13:51,597 --> 00:13:54,122
who was younger, quicker and deadlier.
329
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,599
And possibly female.
330
00:13:56,168 --> 00:14:00,161
Tory screened that security cam video
from the hotel and found this.
331
00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:03,807
That's Lance leaving through
the hotel lobby on his last day on Earth.
332
00:14:04,043 --> 00:14:07,376
And 10 seconds later,
this woman goes after him.
333
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:09,105
That's her! That's the operative!
334
00:14:09,181 --> 00:14:12,309
She's wearing a dark coat, just like
the person who left the crime scene.
335
00:14:12,384 --> 00:14:14,045
She must have
trailed Lance from the hotel,
336
00:14:14,153 --> 00:14:16,178
then moved in for the kill.
337
00:14:16,288 --> 00:14:18,153
She's blond,
but she might be wearing a wig.
338
00:14:18,224 --> 00:14:19,623
Take a look at her sunglasses
339
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:21,853
and the way that she's angled
her face away from the camera.
340
00:14:21,961 --> 00:14:23,019
She didn't want to be ID'd.
341
00:14:23,128 --> 00:14:24,425
- She may have gotten her wish.
- (CELL PHONE CHIMES)
342
00:14:24,496 --> 00:14:26,396
Tory said there's not enough here
to run facial recognition.
343
00:14:26,465 --> 00:14:30,401
You know, she's wearing an earring.
See if Tory can do something with that.
344
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:32,227
Enrique Gomez is on his way up.
345
00:14:32,738 --> 00:14:34,171
Maybe he knows who she is.
346
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,969
GOMEZ: No, I don't recognize her.
347
00:14:37,409 --> 00:14:39,468
I'm sad to learn of Lance's death.
348
00:14:39,545 --> 00:14:42,036
What was your relationship
with him, Mr. Gomez?
349
00:14:42,147 --> 00:14:45,207
We were close as young men.
Less so recently.
350
00:14:45,317 --> 00:14:48,184
Yet he called you
just before he died. Why?
351
00:14:48,254 --> 00:14:50,722
Well, he needed a bodyguard.
Somebody he could trust.
352
00:14:50,823 --> 00:14:52,552
And I know such people.
353
00:14:52,658 --> 00:14:54,683
But none of them
were available on such short notice,
354
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,227
so I couldn't help him.
355
00:14:56,428 --> 00:14:58,362
Why would Lance need a bodyguard?
356
00:14:58,430 --> 00:14:59,988
He didn't tell me, I didn't ask.
357
00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:03,031
You think maybe
he was going on one last mission?
358
00:15:03,102 --> 00:15:05,662
Or perhaps his CNI past
was coming back to haunt him?
359
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:07,706
Well, that would be rather unlikely.
(CHUCKLES)
360
00:15:08,707 --> 00:15:11,073
You see, Lance didn't have a CNI past.
361
00:15:13,212 --> 00:15:14,770
Why is everyone saying that he did?
362
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,049
Well, we grew up together,
but I was the one who went into CNI.
363
00:15:18,117 --> 00:15:19,243
And when Lance came to America,
364
00:15:19,351 --> 00:15:21,182
he asked me to use my backstory
365
00:15:21,253 --> 00:15:23,551
to make himself
more mysterious and interesting.
366
00:15:24,290 --> 00:15:26,383
(CHUCKLES)
I'm so... I'm sorry, are you...
367
00:15:26,558 --> 00:15:30,221
Are you saying Lance DeLorca
wasn't a CNI operative?
368
00:15:30,696 --> 00:15:34,632
Before he started acting,
he was a goat-herder. In the Pyrenees.
369
00:15:42,908 --> 00:15:46,105
Hey! So Enrique Gomez's
story checks out.
370
00:15:46,211 --> 00:15:47,269
And with his authorization,
371
00:15:47,379 --> 00:15:51,713
CNI confirms that
Lance DeLorca was never an agent.
372
00:15:52,051 --> 00:15:55,214
My hero was a liar. And a goat-herder.
373
00:15:55,321 --> 00:15:58,484
Yes, well, despite
this deeply personal betrayal,
374
00:15:58,557 --> 00:15:59,751
we still have a murder to solve.
375
00:15:59,992 --> 00:16:02,085
- How? We're back to square one.
- Not necessarily.
376
00:16:02,161 --> 00:16:05,255
I mean, there's still that mystery woman
that followed Lance from the SRO.
377
00:16:05,331 --> 00:16:07,959
She may not be a mystery anymore.
378
00:16:08,067 --> 00:16:09,261
Is she a goat-herder?
379
00:16:09,635 --> 00:16:11,000
Oh, my God.
380
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:14,065
I didn't get anywhere
with the earrings. They're too common.
381
00:16:14,139 --> 00:16:16,130
But that got me focused on her ear.
382
00:16:16,241 --> 00:16:18,266
Okay. What about it? Looks normal.
383
00:16:18,344 --> 00:16:21,507
It is. But ear biometrics,
size, shape, configuration,
384
00:16:21,613 --> 00:16:23,103
are almost as unique as fingerprints.
385
00:16:23,182 --> 00:16:25,742
An entire field of study
is devoted to the subject.
386
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:27,615
- Earology.
- Earology.
387
00:16:27,686 --> 00:16:28,744
How did you know that?
388
00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:30,914
FBI seminar.
389
00:16:31,357 --> 00:16:32,824
So you used her ear
to identify this woman?
390
00:16:33,325 --> 00:16:36,988
Yes, by isolating the ear and running it
against the mugshot database.
391
00:16:37,096 --> 00:16:38,120
When nothing popped,
392
00:16:38,197 --> 00:16:39,687
I ran it against photos of women
393
00:16:39,798 --> 00:16:41,925
who had any connection
with Lance DeLorca.
394
00:16:42,368 --> 00:16:45,496
The computer analyzed thousands
of images and finally found a match.
395
00:16:45,637 --> 00:16:49,471
With a 99.2% probability
that it's this woman.
396
00:16:50,642 --> 00:16:51,904
That's Kat Kingsley!
397
00:16:51,977 --> 00:16:54,377
Lance was killed
by his soon-to-be ex-wife?
398
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:05,846
Hey, so we heard
Kat Kingsley was here. Whoa!
399
00:17:06,792 --> 00:17:09,488
RYAN: Now that is a sexy outfit
for an interrogation.
400
00:17:09,595 --> 00:17:12,860
It's her costume. They took her
right from the set of her movie.
401
00:17:13,432 --> 00:17:14,797
- RYAN: Man, she is really...
- ESPOSITO: Hot.
402
00:17:15,367 --> 00:17:16,698
- Holding up well.
- Well.
403
00:17:16,769 --> 00:17:17,793
RYAN: What's the movie?
404
00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:20,338
It's direct-to-video.
She plays a female Indiana Jones.
405
00:17:21,106 --> 00:17:22,300
She's an archeologist again?
406
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:24,842
Would it be weird
if I asked her to sign this?
407
00:17:25,644 --> 00:17:27,373
When? On her way to jail?
408
00:17:27,946 --> 00:17:29,379
(SOFTLY) It would mean so much to me.
409
00:17:30,149 --> 00:17:31,616
What would her motivation
be for killing Lance?
410
00:17:31,683 --> 00:17:32,980
Well, it seems
their divorce was a tad messier
411
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:34,679
than she led us to believe.
412
00:17:35,854 --> 00:17:38,482
So what role
are you playing now, Miss Kingsley?
413
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:39,816
Not the grieving widow.
414
00:17:40,959 --> 00:17:42,722
I need to get back to set
415
00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:46,195
or they're gonna shut down production
on Raiders of the Nubian Temple.
416
00:17:46,298 --> 00:17:48,858
Yeah, well, you've got
bigger problems than that.
417
00:17:49,334 --> 00:17:51,063
So I talked to Lance's lawyer,
418
00:17:51,170 --> 00:17:54,401
and he said that your divorce
was anything but amicable.
419
00:17:54,506 --> 00:17:59,239
We're actors. We're passionate people.
Things got stormy at times.
420
00:17:59,344 --> 00:18:01,904
Because you wanted the Malibu house,
and he didn't want to give it to you.
421
00:18:02,014 --> 00:18:04,209
That home has sentimental value to me.
422
00:18:04,316 --> 00:18:05,340
Along with monetary value.
423
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:08,250
I mean, after 20 years,
it's worth $8 million.
424
00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:11,415
And with Lance
out of the picture, it was all yours.
425
00:18:12,524 --> 00:18:14,253
You think I killed my husband.
426
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,849
BECKETT: You tried to before.
427
00:18:16,195 --> 00:18:19,687
Remember the incident where
you discharged a firearm? At him?
428
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:22,165
I was cleaning it.
429
00:18:22,935 --> 00:18:25,267
I know bad acting when I see it.
430
00:18:25,704 --> 00:18:27,331
This is you, Miss Kingsley,
431
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:31,072
following Lance
hours before he was killed.
432
00:18:32,077 --> 00:18:33,169
I was not following him.
433
00:18:35,013 --> 00:18:36,412
He asked me to meet with him.
434
00:18:36,548 --> 00:18:38,106
And he told you to wear a disguise?
435
00:18:38,217 --> 00:18:39,275
I couldn't be seen with him.
436
00:18:39,351 --> 00:18:42,514
After the gun thing,
we were told to avoid contact.
437
00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:44,579
But Lance begged me.
438
00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:47,056
He needed cash. $200,000.
439
00:18:47,793 --> 00:18:49,852
He asked you for a loan?
440
00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:51,623
His assets were all
tied-up with the divorce.
441
00:18:51,730 --> 00:18:53,721
I inherited some money.
He knew I had access to it.
442
00:18:54,266 --> 00:18:57,724
It wasn't a loan.
He sold me his half of the Malibu house.
443
00:18:58,604 --> 00:19:03,769
Are you telling me that he traded you
$4 million for 200,000?
444
00:19:03,876 --> 00:19:08,074
How could I pass up a deal like that?
I have the promissory note to prove it.
445
00:19:08,313 --> 00:19:09,541
Why did he need the money?
446
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:11,775
He said he needed
to set something right.
447
00:19:12,484 --> 00:19:15,612
That he wanted to live up
to the characters he'd played, I think.
448
00:19:15,721 --> 00:19:17,313
I wasn't really listening.
449
00:19:17,422 --> 00:19:19,720
I just wanted him to sign over the house.
450
00:19:20,626 --> 00:19:21,854
I'm just being honest.
451
00:19:21,994 --> 00:19:24,758
Okay, fine. If you're being honest,
then why don't you tell me this.
452
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:28,459
We have a witness that saw
a dark figure fleeing the crime scene.
453
00:19:28,567 --> 00:19:30,000
Was that you?
454
00:19:30,903 --> 00:19:31,961
Yes.
455
00:19:33,105 --> 00:19:34,504
Do you want to elaborate on that?
456
00:19:35,073 --> 00:19:36,062
(SIGHS)
457
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:39,770
Lance called me that night.
From a payphone, I think.
458
00:19:39,845 --> 00:19:42,439
He said he was in trouble
and that people were after him.
459
00:19:42,514 --> 00:19:43,503
What people?
460
00:19:43,582 --> 00:19:44,776
He didn't say.
461
00:19:44,850 --> 00:19:48,013
But he asked me to pick him up
at this theater playing Hard Kill,
462
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:49,485
that it would be easy to find.
463
00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:52,853
He sounded so desperate.
But when I got there
464
00:19:55,594 --> 00:19:56,993
(LOWERED VOICE) he was dead.
465
00:19:58,297 --> 00:20:00,197
Why didn't you tell us this before?
466
00:20:00,299 --> 00:20:01,664
(SOBBING) I panicked.
467
00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:03,058
(SIGHS)
468
00:20:03,135 --> 00:20:06,332
I'm trying to restart my career.
I just knew how it might look.
469
00:20:06,438 --> 00:20:08,929
Well, that's because
it's exactly how it does look.
470
00:20:09,007 --> 00:20:10,031
(GROANS)
471
00:20:10,108 --> 00:20:13,168
CASTLE: Well, not to me it doesn't.
(SIGHS) I don't think she's our killer.
472
00:20:13,278 --> 00:20:15,178
Yes, she's just an innocent archeologist.
473
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,475
My opinion is not affected
by her skimpy outfit.
474
00:20:17,549 --> 00:20:20,017
I'm speaking
as an objective investigator,
475
00:20:20,118 --> 00:20:21,642
someone who has set
their personal feelings aside.
476
00:20:22,321 --> 00:20:23,618
Along with your poster?
477
00:20:23,689 --> 00:20:25,554
Who told you? It was Ryan, wasn't it?
478
00:20:25,657 --> 00:20:28,148
Castle, Kat Kingsley admitted
to being at the crime scene.
479
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:29,285
Yeah, when she didn't have to.
480
00:20:29,361 --> 00:20:30,487
Why admit to that
if you're actually guilty?
481
00:20:30,862 --> 00:20:31,988
To make herself look not guilty.
482
00:20:32,431 --> 00:20:33,955
Look, she had motive.
483
00:20:34,032 --> 00:20:35,761
But parts of her story still check out.
484
00:20:35,834 --> 00:20:38,997
The promissory note, the withdrawal
from her bank for $200,000.
485
00:20:39,104 --> 00:20:42,369
Lance said he needed the money
to set something right.
486
00:20:42,474 --> 00:20:44,135
He needed to live up to
his on-screen persona.
487
00:20:44,509 --> 00:20:46,943
Yes, according to our murder suspect.
488
00:20:47,879 --> 00:20:50,939
So here's Lance
meeting his bone-marrow donor.
489
00:20:51,316 --> 00:20:53,147
Perhaps surviving leukemia
490
00:20:53,218 --> 00:20:55,686
changed him,
drove him to become a better man.
491
00:20:55,787 --> 00:20:57,948
A man more like the hero he portrayed.
492
00:20:58,056 --> 00:21:01,992
That's why when he registered
at the hotel, he did so as Rico Cruz.
493
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:03,789
Because he became Rico Cruz.
494
00:21:04,463 --> 00:21:05,623
What does that even mean?
495
00:21:05,697 --> 00:21:09,656
That despite being an ex-goat-herder
with no formal Black Ops training,
496
00:21:09,735 --> 00:21:10,793
Lance took on a mission.
497
00:21:10,902 --> 00:21:13,234
Oh, okay. So we're back
to "one last mission," now.
498
00:21:13,305 --> 00:21:14,363
Why else would he have the schematic?
499
00:21:14,473 --> 00:21:17,465
Or the listening device?
Or why would he need a bodyguard?
500
00:21:17,542 --> 00:21:20,204
To protect himself from Kat Kingsley.
501
00:21:20,312 --> 00:21:21,836
Yeah, except for
her story is still holding up.
502
00:21:21,913 --> 00:21:23,676
That call she says was from Lance,
503
00:21:23,749 --> 00:21:26,047
came from a payphone
six blocks from the movie theater.
504
00:21:26,151 --> 00:21:29,552
All right, canvass for witnesses that saw
Lance or anyone else by that payphone.
505
00:21:29,655 --> 00:21:32,590
And if he was in trouble, as Kat said,
506
00:21:32,691 --> 00:21:34,215
then let's find out
where he was coming from.
507
00:21:34,326 --> 00:21:36,521
We'll get into it. But we might not
have anything till the morning.
508
00:21:36,595 --> 00:21:37,687
Okay.
509
00:21:38,263 --> 00:21:40,163
(SOFTLY) You told her
about the poster?
510
00:21:40,232 --> 00:21:41,756
I didn't know it was a... (GROANS)
511
00:21:44,536 --> 00:21:48,597
I don't know. Maybe it's the way
that he said it that struck a nerve.
512
00:21:48,707 --> 00:21:51,733
Well, tact isn't exactly
the man's middle name.
513
00:21:51,843 --> 00:21:54,334
Okay, but it's my place,
you know? It's not Castle's.
514
00:21:54,846 --> 00:21:56,780
Who cares if he never liked it?
515
00:21:56,882 --> 00:21:59,510
I don't know why I got so upset.
516
00:21:59,584 --> 00:22:02,917
Because. To him this is just
an apartment with creaky floors.
517
00:22:03,021 --> 00:22:06,684
But to you,
this is where you rebuilt your life.
518
00:22:06,758 --> 00:22:08,225
Where you solved
your mother's murder.
519
00:22:08,794 --> 00:22:10,728
Where you fell in love.
520
00:22:16,535 --> 00:22:20,096
Well, to the best apartment ever.
521
00:22:20,205 --> 00:22:22,469
To the best apartment ever.
522
00:22:25,410 --> 00:22:27,708
RYAN: So we struck gold
on that canvass.
523
00:22:27,779 --> 00:22:29,303
Someone saw Lance
using the payphone?
524
00:22:29,414 --> 00:22:32,474
No, but they saw him before that,
running like hell from an alley.
525
00:22:32,584 --> 00:22:34,609
Which leads us to this
security cam video right here.
526
00:22:34,686 --> 00:22:36,244
- (MOUSE CLICKS)
- You gotta see it to believe it.
527
00:22:36,922 --> 00:22:39,413
These four guys
have got Lance cornered.
528
00:22:40,492 --> 00:22:41,516
Oh, this can't be good.
529
00:22:41,927 --> 00:22:42,951
Who are those guys?
530
00:22:43,028 --> 00:22:44,017
RYAN: I don't know,
531
00:22:44,129 --> 00:22:46,188
but you should wonder what Lance
did to have them come after him.
532
00:22:46,298 --> 00:22:49,267
Four thugs
against an aging Lance DeLorca?
533
00:22:49,401 --> 00:22:50,834
I don't know that I can watch.
534
00:23:05,650 --> 00:23:06,844
Did you see that?
535
00:23:07,786 --> 00:23:09,515
What Lance just did?
536
00:23:10,055 --> 00:23:13,320
That belongs in one of his movies.
He annihilated them.
537
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:15,952
Yeah, but not for long. Half an hour
later, someone annihilated him.
538
00:23:16,728 --> 00:23:19,993
Ah, well, right. But at least
this explains the phone call.
539
00:23:20,065 --> 00:23:21,498
When Lance called Kat Kingsley
540
00:23:21,566 --> 00:23:24,000
and said, "I'm in trouble
and people are after me,"
541
00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:25,468
this is what he was talking about.
542
00:23:25,537 --> 00:23:27,368
And whoever these guys are,
they must have caught up to him.
543
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:29,630
We find these guys, we'll find our killer.
544
00:23:36,848 --> 00:23:40,147
BECKETT: We can't ID any of
these guys off of the surveillance video.
545
00:23:40,218 --> 00:23:43,745
Tory says that the image quality
is too poor to run facial recognition.
546
00:23:43,855 --> 00:23:45,345
Or ear recognition.
547
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:47,920
The key is finding out
what happened to Lance
548
00:23:48,026 --> 00:23:49,687
before he wound up in that alley.
549
00:23:50,662 --> 00:23:54,598
Something that required
$200,000 and a listening device.
550
00:23:54,699 --> 00:23:57,862
But whomever he went up against
sent those four sides of beef after him.
551
00:23:57,936 --> 00:24:01,531
And after seeing the ass-whooping
they got, I checked nearby hospitals.
552
00:24:01,606 --> 00:24:05,007
Turns out that an ambulance was called
to that area during our time window.
553
00:24:05,343 --> 00:24:07,106
They brought in
a heavyset dude to the ER.
554
00:24:07,212 --> 00:24:09,840
He was unconscious, bruised,
and had a possible broken jaw.
555
00:24:09,915 --> 00:24:11,780
- All right, let's go talk to him.
- ESPOSITO: We can't.
556
00:24:11,883 --> 00:24:13,009
He woke up
and checked himself out of the ER
557
00:24:13,084 --> 00:24:14,346
before they could even get his name.
558
00:24:14,419 --> 00:24:15,579
Does the hospital have cameras?
559
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:16,846
I'm glad you asked that.
560
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:18,252
This guy
561
00:24:19,357 --> 00:24:21,382
definitely looks like
one of the guys from the video.
562
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:22,484
Wait a second, I know that guy.
563
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:26,158
Yeah, from the film set.
He was dressed in Afghan garb.
564
00:24:26,231 --> 00:24:28,631
Brock Harmon barely
tapped him in the face
565
00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:29,724
and he screamed like a baby.
566
00:24:30,101 --> 00:24:32,865
Perhaps because he has a broken jaw.
567
00:24:33,605 --> 00:24:34,594
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
568
00:24:35,540 --> 00:24:37,303
AD says his name is Ernest Howe.
569
00:24:37,709 --> 00:24:39,233
He's playing ISIS Militant Number 12.
570
00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:42,769
Not for long.
You know what time it is? It's Ryan time.
571
00:24:43,081 --> 00:24:44,412
Please, just stop.
572
00:24:44,483 --> 00:24:46,951
My name is Ryan, and I hate lyin'.
573
00:24:47,052 --> 00:24:49,145
Ernest Howe? NYPD.
574
00:24:49,588 --> 00:24:51,385
We're here to talk to you
about Lance DeLorca.
575
00:24:51,790 --> 00:24:53,087
Yeah, it's a bummer that he died.
576
00:24:53,458 --> 00:24:54,720
A little problem
with your jaw there, Ernest?
577
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,052
A little TMJ.
578
00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:58,925
You sure it's not from that little
altercation you got into the other night?
579
00:24:58,997 --> 00:25:00,624
Look, I don't want any more trouble.
580
00:25:00,732 --> 00:25:02,757
Well, you got trouble. Ryan trouble.
581
00:25:03,768 --> 00:25:05,099
I don't know what that means.
582
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:06,501
We have you on video.
583
00:25:06,605 --> 00:25:08,300
You and those three mooks
attacked Lance,
584
00:25:08,406 --> 00:25:09,430
and he put the hurt on all of you.
585
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:10,998
But not enough hurt,
because one of them killed him.
586
00:25:11,109 --> 00:25:12,906
Judging by your little trip
to the ER, it wasn't you.
587
00:25:12,978 --> 00:25:14,969
So why don't you give us
the name of your buddies, Ernest?
588
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,342
And whoever put 'em up to this.
589
00:25:16,448 --> 00:25:17,472
You got it all wrong.
590
00:25:17,582 --> 00:25:18,674
Those guys did this to me.
591
00:25:19,784 --> 00:25:22,150
I was on Lance's side.
He hired me to be his bodyguard.
592
00:25:22,621 --> 00:25:24,020
Why would Lance need a bodyguard?
593
00:25:24,122 --> 00:25:25,680
He had a meeting at Club Drift.
594
00:25:25,790 --> 00:25:26,848
He wanted backup.
595
00:25:26,958 --> 00:25:28,755
He brought a briefcase.
I think it had money in it.
596
00:25:28,827 --> 00:25:30,658
Who did he meet there?
What was the money for?
597
00:25:30,762 --> 00:25:33,196
I don't know.
They made me wait downstairs.
598
00:25:33,298 --> 00:25:35,198
But the meeting ended quick.
599
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:38,030
All of a sudden,
four security dudes hustle us out,
600
00:25:38,136 --> 00:25:39,797
accused Lance of wearing a wire.
601
00:25:39,871 --> 00:25:42,704
A wire?
Why would he be wearing a wire?
602
00:25:42,807 --> 00:25:44,274
Well, I didn't exactly
get a chance to ask.
603
00:25:44,342 --> 00:25:47,140
The last thing I remember
was a guy's foot flying across my face.
604
00:25:47,846 --> 00:25:50,076
Maybe Lance was wearing a wire.
605
00:25:50,148 --> 00:25:52,343
That would explain
the microphone and the USB drive.
606
00:25:52,450 --> 00:25:54,042
Yeah, Ernest said
that security didn't find a wire,
607
00:25:54,152 --> 00:25:55,744
and there wasn't one on Lance's body.
608
00:25:55,887 --> 00:25:58,822
But let's say he was all wired up
with a briefcase of money.
609
00:25:58,890 --> 00:26:00,357
What the hell was he doing?
610
00:26:00,458 --> 00:26:03,450
It's like Lance was running some kind
of half-assed sting operation.
611
00:26:03,528 --> 00:26:05,291
Maybe he was. I spoke to Narcotics.
612
00:26:05,363 --> 00:26:08,457
The club that Lance went to
is a major hub for drug sales.
613
00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:10,364
Run by a guy
that you're familiar with, Castle.
614
00:26:12,003 --> 00:26:13,994
Is it... Is that Henry Allen Boothe?
615
00:26:15,173 --> 00:26:16,765
ESPOSITO: El Jefe from Hard Kill?
616
00:26:16,942 --> 00:26:19,240
He made a career out of playing
drug dealers, and then he quit acting.
617
00:26:19,511 --> 00:26:21,069
And then he began living the part.
618
00:26:21,246 --> 00:26:24,181
Apparently, he spent
so much time with drug dealers,
619
00:26:24,382 --> 00:26:26,714
researching his roles,
that he actually became one.
620
00:26:27,419 --> 00:26:29,887
Narcotics hasn't been able
to make a case against him, though.
621
00:26:30,188 --> 00:26:34,147
This is just like Hard Kill,
where Rico Cruz took down El Jefe.
622
00:26:34,259 --> 00:26:35,817
Only now, it's one actor
taking on the other actor.
623
00:26:35,894 --> 00:26:37,828
But the other actor
actually happens to be a drug dealer!
624
00:26:37,896 --> 00:26:38,920
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
625
00:26:38,997 --> 00:26:42,831
But, again, why would Lance do this?
Why would he go after Boothe?
626
00:26:42,901 --> 00:26:45,563
I don't know, but it's so meta.
We should really talk to El Jefe.
627
00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:47,160
Oh, believe me, we will.
628
00:26:47,572 --> 00:26:50,063
Yeah, sure, I met with Lance.
629
00:26:50,175 --> 00:26:51,665
BECKETT: What about?
630
00:26:51,743 --> 00:26:55,941
Old times. He wanted
to share a drink, relive the glory days.
631
00:26:56,047 --> 00:26:57,105
Just out of the blue?
632
00:26:57,215 --> 00:26:59,115
Why not?
Hard Kill did a solid for both of us.
633
00:26:59,250 --> 00:27:01,013
Even after all these years,
not a day goes by
634
00:27:01,086 --> 00:27:04,578
where some middle-aged dude
doesn't see me and shout "El Jefe!"
635
00:27:05,223 --> 00:27:08,886
I suppose I shouldn't complain.
That role bought me this club.
636
00:27:09,227 --> 00:27:11,286
We hear that
it did more than that, Mr. Boothe.
637
00:27:13,732 --> 00:27:14,721
(CHUCKLES)
638
00:27:16,401 --> 00:27:19,427
So the movie drug dealer
becomes a drug dealer, huh?
639
00:27:20,805 --> 00:27:23,273
It'd be a good story if it were true.
640
00:27:23,375 --> 00:27:25,468
That being said, I don't discourage it.
641
00:27:25,577 --> 00:27:28,068
A good fiction
can do wonders for one's reputation.
642
00:27:28,146 --> 00:27:31,638
I've learned that every good fiction
contains a kernel of truth.
643
00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:34,441
What happened to the briefcase
that Lance brought to the meeting?
644
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:36,453
The one with $200,000 in it.
645
00:27:38,690 --> 00:27:39,918
Lance had no briefcase.
646
00:27:39,991 --> 00:27:41,424
And I suppose your guys
didn't chase him out of here
647
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:42,517
and then attack him?
648
00:27:43,028 --> 00:27:44,086
Doesn't ring a bell.
649
00:27:44,162 --> 00:27:45,288
We have video.
650
00:27:45,363 --> 00:27:46,694
BOOTHE: Not of my guys.
651
00:27:46,798 --> 00:27:49,323
You're welcome to check.
I doubt you'll find any of them here.
652
00:27:49,868 --> 00:27:51,859
And since your next question will be
where was I that night,
653
00:27:52,504 --> 00:27:53,994
I'll save you the oxygen.
654
00:27:54,105 --> 00:27:55,629
There are about 20 people downstairs
655
00:27:55,707 --> 00:27:59,609
who can attest that I
never left the building after Lance left.
656
00:28:00,045 --> 00:28:01,706
I didn't kill him.
657
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:05,479
Okay, thanks for your time.
658
00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:11,519
CASTLE: "Thanks for your time"?
659
00:28:11,623 --> 00:28:12,647
Beckett, he was lying.
660
00:28:12,724 --> 00:28:14,692
About the money, about the meeting,
about everything.
661
00:28:14,793 --> 00:28:16,055
Of course he was lying.
662
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:18,959
So why didn't you push harder?
Why didn't we check his alibi?
663
00:28:19,197 --> 00:28:20,721
Because we didn't need to.
664
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:22,830
Since when?
665
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:24,992
Since I figured out
what the numbers five and two meant.
666
00:28:26,004 --> 00:28:27,369
The missing numbers
from the sticker sheet?
667
00:28:27,472 --> 00:28:30,737
That number 52 was on a slot car
in Boothe's collection.
668
00:28:30,842 --> 00:28:32,537
A blue Shelby Cobra, to be exact.
669
00:28:33,178 --> 00:28:34,577
That's what Lance was building.
670
00:28:35,213 --> 00:28:38,182
He put a listening device
inside a replica of one of Boothe's cars.
671
00:28:38,249 --> 00:28:40,911
He must have switched them out
when they had that meeting.
672
00:28:41,019 --> 00:28:44,716
Which means that car was recording
everything that happened in that office,
673
00:28:44,823 --> 00:28:46,347
including why Lance was there.
674
00:28:46,424 --> 00:28:50,155
And why Boothe had him killed.
We need to get that slot car.
675
00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:52,992
We will. We just need a warrant first.
676
00:28:55,333 --> 00:28:56,493
BROCK: I don't understand.
677
00:28:56,568 --> 00:28:58,695
You're telling me
you can't get a search warrant?
678
00:28:58,770 --> 00:29:00,863
Even though that son of a bitch
Boothe is behind this?
679
00:29:00,939 --> 00:29:04,272
Not unless we can provide evidence
that ties Boothe to Lance's death.
680
00:29:04,375 --> 00:29:06,673
And right now, we can't even
prove that the two of them met.
681
00:29:06,745 --> 00:29:09,043
Look, Mr. Harmon, we were hoping
that you could help us with this.
682
00:29:09,114 --> 00:29:11,241
Did Lance tell you
that he was going to the club,
683
00:29:11,349 --> 00:29:13,214
that he was gonna talk to Boothe?
684
00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:17,111
Lance never said a word to me
about Boothe or the club. Nothing.
685
00:29:17,222 --> 00:29:18,849
Hell, I thought he was in LA.
686
00:29:19,357 --> 00:29:21,348
I wish I could help you.
687
00:29:21,593 --> 00:29:22,787
BECKETT: Well, you know what?
688
00:29:22,894 --> 00:29:24,521
We'll keep looking
for the men that attacked Lance.
689
00:29:24,796 --> 00:29:26,354
We're not giving up.
690
00:29:28,066 --> 00:29:29,260
Castle?
691
00:29:31,102 --> 00:29:33,593
How did Lance know to bug a slot car?
692
00:29:33,938 --> 00:29:34,927
Oh.
693
00:29:35,306 --> 00:29:36,796
Boothe and his collection
694
00:29:36,908 --> 00:29:40,036
- were featured in SlotZone magazine.
- Hmm.
695
00:29:40,812 --> 00:29:42,370
So you really think
the proof of who killed Lance
696
00:29:42,447 --> 00:29:44,415
is sitting in that
little blue Shelby Cobra?
697
00:29:45,250 --> 00:29:47,047
Well, it doesn't matter
if we can't get a warrant.
698
00:29:48,953 --> 00:29:51,649
Too bad Rico Cruz isn't around.
I bet he'd find a way, right?
699
00:29:53,925 --> 00:29:56,951
So you were a pretty big fan, huh?
700
00:29:57,595 --> 00:30:01,292
Of Hard Kill?
No, I was average. Ordinary fan.
701
00:30:01,399 --> 00:30:03,333
Not like I had the Hard Kill pajamas.
702
00:30:06,171 --> 00:30:09,937
Say, the gang and I
are going out for drinks later tonight.
703
00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:11,901
How'd you like to come with us?
704
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:17,008
Castle?
705
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:18,840
Hey?
706
00:30:20,685 --> 00:30:22,619
You are never gonna
believe what just happened.
707
00:30:22,687 --> 00:30:24,814
Brock invited me to go
drinking with The Indestructibles.
708
00:30:25,456 --> 00:30:27,321
Me. With them.
709
00:30:27,625 --> 00:30:30,150
But you told them you couldn't
because you're in the middle of a case.
710
00:30:30,228 --> 00:30:31,286
- Right?
- No. What?
711
00:30:31,362 --> 00:30:33,660
No, I just... What... Isn't it okay if I...
712
00:30:33,798 --> 00:30:35,197
Castle, you really think
713
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:38,167
that I could stand between you
and your boyhood dream?
714
00:30:38,269 --> 00:30:39,793
You are my boyhood dream.
715
00:30:39,904 --> 00:30:40,893
Aw. (CHUCKLES)
716
00:30:41,506 --> 00:30:42,996
Well, you and drinking
with The Indestructibles.
717
00:30:43,174 --> 00:30:44,607
You don't always have to keep talking.
718
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:45,700
- Right.
- Yeah.
719
00:30:45,810 --> 00:30:46,868
I'm gonna... I'm gonna go.
720
00:30:46,978 --> 00:30:48,502
I don't know what I'm gonna wear.
721
00:30:48,613 --> 00:30:49,944
I gotta get ready.
722
00:30:54,786 --> 00:30:57,380
CASTLE: (LAUGHING) All right. Okay.
723
00:30:57,488 --> 00:31:00,946
Well, you guys, you have no idea
how excited I am to...
724
00:31:04,996 --> 00:31:06,964
Did you guys
just come from set or something?
725
00:31:07,031 --> 00:31:09,226
- Son, we came straight from hell.
- (ENGINE STARTS)
726
00:31:10,235 --> 00:31:11,293
Let's roll.
727
00:31:14,038 --> 00:31:15,027
So, um,
728
00:31:16,007 --> 00:31:17,031
what's going on?
729
00:31:17,141 --> 00:31:18,472
No warrant is gonna stop us
730
00:31:18,543 --> 00:31:21,068
from getting our hands
on evidence to put away Lance's killer.
731
00:31:21,179 --> 00:31:24,478
Somebody takes out
one of our own, we take him out.
732
00:31:25,183 --> 00:31:26,207
Oh. Guys...
733
00:31:26,317 --> 00:31:29,718
Hey, listen, if your plan is to go
to the club and steal that slot car...
734
00:31:29,821 --> 00:31:32,847
No, no, that would...
That would taint the evidence.
735
00:31:32,924 --> 00:31:35,188
Actually, we can compel
the DA to consider it
736
00:31:35,260 --> 00:31:38,593
since the car technically
belonged to the victim, Lance.
737
00:31:38,696 --> 00:31:40,220
You really are a genius, aren't you?
738
00:31:40,331 --> 00:31:42,390
And also,
none of us is an agent of the law.
739
00:31:42,500 --> 00:31:43,899
That's one of the reasons I chose you.
740
00:31:44,002 --> 00:31:46,027
And because you
have been in Boothe's office.
741
00:31:46,104 --> 00:31:49,505
You're gonna help us find that slot car.
742
00:31:49,574 --> 00:31:50,939
No. No, no.
743
00:31:52,176 --> 00:31:56,203
Guys, my wife is a cop.
If I do this, she'll kill me.
744
00:31:56,281 --> 00:31:57,612
(IMITATING CASTLE)
"Oh, my wife's gonna kill me!"
745
00:31:57,682 --> 00:31:59,206
Is that what Rico Cruz would say?
746
00:31:59,284 --> 00:32:02,014
No, but what if we get caught?
747
00:32:02,086 --> 00:32:03,212
BROCK: We're not gonna get caught.
748
00:32:03,388 --> 00:32:05,117
We're The Indestructibles.
749
00:32:05,957 --> 00:32:08,255
Tense up, guys, it's showtime.
750
00:32:25,276 --> 00:32:26,834
BROCK: The plan is simple.
751
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:28,776
Once we get to the club,
752
00:32:28,913 --> 00:32:33,441
Serafina, Clay, Rolf, go in through
the main entrance, take your positions.
753
00:32:33,952 --> 00:32:34,941
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
754
00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:40,646
Serafina, alert us
when you have eyes on the rear door.
755
00:32:41,592 --> 00:32:42,923
Falcon is in the nest.
756
00:32:43,428 --> 00:32:47,831
Clay, you and Rolf create a diversion
to draw Boothe down to the bar.
757
00:32:47,932 --> 00:32:50,264
Young fella, young fella!
We're doing bottle service.
758
00:32:50,335 --> 00:32:51,859
You got some of that Angel?
You know, the champagne?
759
00:32:52,370 --> 00:32:53,928
Sure do. Just gonna need
your credit card, Mr. Biggs.
760
00:32:54,005 --> 00:32:55,199
If you know who we are,
761
00:32:55,306 --> 00:32:57,171
then you know we haven't
paid for a drink since Reagan.
762
00:32:57,275 --> 00:33:00,972
Sir, Angel's a grand a bottle.
You understand.
763
00:33:01,045 --> 00:33:03,445
Son, we're here
to toast our fallen comrade.
764
00:33:03,514 --> 00:33:05,311
That has-been Boothe
too cheap to pay respects?
765
00:33:10,888 --> 00:33:12,378
- BARTENDER: Mr. Boothe?
- Yeah?
766
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:15,516
Got some old friends of yours at the bar.
You should come down.
767
00:33:16,127 --> 00:33:18,618
All right, I'm coming down. Yeah.
768
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:32,534
BROCK: Once El Jefe's on the move,
Serafina, you will unlock the villa gates.
769
00:33:33,044 --> 00:33:34,739
Prairie dog is on the plain.
770
00:33:36,214 --> 00:33:38,739
BROCK: And Castle and I
will go for the goods,
771
00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:41,811
Hard Kill style.
772
00:33:45,356 --> 00:33:46,448
Okay.
773
00:33:51,062 --> 00:33:52,529
(SOFTLY) Always check.
774
00:33:57,668 --> 00:33:58,760
Okay.
775
00:34:00,838 --> 00:34:02,066
I gotta get going.
Great seeing you, man.
776
00:34:02,173 --> 00:34:03,504
Whoa, where are you going?
777
00:34:03,574 --> 00:34:05,508
- I gotta go. Anything you want...
- Hey, come on, hang out.
778
00:34:05,576 --> 00:34:07,510
...you can have it on me. Enjoy.
779
00:34:08,279 --> 00:34:11,248
Abort! Abort!
Prairie dog pulled a boomerang.
780
00:34:14,919 --> 00:34:16,750
- I got it!
- Boothe's on his way back up.
781
00:34:16,854 --> 00:34:18,378
- What? No!
- Yeah.
782
00:34:25,530 --> 00:34:26,895
(SOFTLY) Prairie dog is in the burrow.
783
00:34:27,532 --> 00:34:30,558
(SOFTLY) Prairie dog's gonna kill us!
We're gonna be killed by a prairie dog!
784
00:34:32,437 --> 00:34:33,699
(ALARM BLARING)
785
00:34:50,121 --> 00:34:53,022
I'm starring in my own action movie.
This is the best night ever.
786
00:34:53,091 --> 00:34:55,821
Go!
787
00:34:56,828 --> 00:35:00,457
You're telling me that this was
handed to you by a concerned citizen?
788
00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:02,088
Uh...
789
00:35:04,368 --> 00:35:05,460
Yes.
790
00:35:05,636 --> 00:35:06,660
Castle?
791
00:35:07,138 --> 00:35:09,470
This is probably one of those times
where I shouldn't keep talking.
792
00:35:09,574 --> 00:35:10,836
For both our sakes.
793
00:35:13,244 --> 00:35:16,680
The recording you are about to hear
will provide incontrovertible proof
794
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:20,911
that Henry Allen Boothe
ordered the murder of Lance DeLorca.
795
00:35:23,054 --> 00:35:24,078
(CLICKS KEYS)
796
00:35:24,155 --> 00:35:25,918
Sound's not working.
797
00:35:26,157 --> 00:35:27,249
Hang on a second, this was...
798
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:33,787
Headphones? Aren't
you gonna let me hear it?
799
00:35:33,865 --> 00:35:36,197
And reward you for
your semi-illegal behavior? I think not.
800
00:35:36,667 --> 00:35:39,101
I... Fine, I'll put it on speaker.
801
00:35:40,037 --> 00:35:43,632
Seriously? Because if it wasn't for me,
we wouldn't even... What?
802
00:35:43,774 --> 00:35:45,332
Lance just walked into Boothe's office.
803
00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:47,273
They're exchanging pleasantries.
804
00:35:47,345 --> 00:35:49,142
And they're getting down to business.
805
00:35:51,516 --> 00:35:52,676
Oh, my God.
806
00:35:53,084 --> 00:35:54,108
What is it?
807
00:35:54,185 --> 00:35:55,243
Oh, my God!
808
00:35:55,319 --> 00:35:57,253
What are they saying?
Please just tell me what they're saying.
809
00:35:57,321 --> 00:35:59,346
This is so not what I expected.
810
00:35:59,991 --> 00:36:01,618
Oh, my God!
811
00:36:04,228 --> 00:36:05,820
So what's this about?
812
00:36:05,897 --> 00:36:08,525
Trey, how well
do you know Henry Allen Boothe?
813
00:36:08,633 --> 00:36:11,329
Well, if someone owns a club,
it's my job to know them.
814
00:36:11,469 --> 00:36:14,029
I met him through my dad.
They did a few movies together.
815
00:36:14,138 --> 00:36:15,969
In fact, Boothe invested
some seed money
816
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,837
so you could become a club promoter.
817
00:36:17,909 --> 00:36:20,469
Then, as a promoter, you had
access to all the clubs in the city.
818
00:36:20,545 --> 00:36:23,708
Boothe used that access
to sell drugs in those clubs.
819
00:36:24,315 --> 00:36:26,579
Or so we're told by Narcotics.
820
00:36:28,152 --> 00:36:29,676
I don't hear you denying this, Trey.
821
00:36:31,989 --> 00:36:33,479
I didn't know about the drugs at first.
822
00:36:33,558 --> 00:36:36,083
And once I did, it was too late.
823
00:36:36,394 --> 00:36:37,383
He owned me.
824
00:36:37,495 --> 00:36:40,055
Let me guess.
Boothe said you could buy him out,
825
00:36:40,164 --> 00:36:42,655
but at a price
he knew you could never afford.
826
00:36:42,767 --> 00:36:44,428
What was it? $200,000?
827
00:36:46,037 --> 00:36:47,732
You didn't tell your parents
about any of this, did you?
828
00:36:47,838 --> 00:36:49,931
I wanted to make my own way.
829
00:36:50,541 --> 00:36:53,169
Not have Brock Harmon
come to the rescue.
830
00:36:53,344 --> 00:36:54,436
But Lance found out.
831
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:57,780
He tried to buy out Boothe,
pay your ransom.
832
00:36:57,882 --> 00:37:00,407
Just like Rico Cruz did in Hard Kill.
833
00:37:00,518 --> 00:37:02,748
Yeah, and I begged him not to.
834
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:04,411
This wasn't some movie.
835
00:37:04,622 --> 00:37:06,613
I knew that Boothe
wasn't gonna let me go,
836
00:37:06,724 --> 00:37:09,784
and Lance couldn't just walk in there
with a bag of money and fix things.
837
00:37:10,027 --> 00:37:11,892
But suddenly he wanted to be a hero.
838
00:37:11,963 --> 00:37:13,692
I told him
he was gonna get us both killed.
839
00:37:13,764 --> 00:37:16,460
But he only got himself killed.
Trying to save you.
840
00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:20,594
We have an audio recording
of Boothe from that night.
841
00:37:21,038 --> 00:37:22,096
How?
842
00:37:22,306 --> 00:37:23,568
Lance bugged his office.
843
00:37:23,774 --> 00:37:25,901
After Boothe
kicked Lance out of his office,
844
00:37:25,977 --> 00:37:27,308
he sent his men after him.
845
00:37:27,411 --> 00:37:30,505
Lance gave them a beat-down
worthy of an action hero.
846
00:37:30,615 --> 00:37:32,810
That's when Boothe
made this phone call.
847
00:37:33,684 --> 00:37:34,673
(CLICKS KEYS)
848
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:36,887
BOOTHE: Trey, your pal
Lance was here.
849
00:37:36,954 --> 00:37:38,649
I think you know why.
850
00:37:38,990 --> 00:37:41,686
He's on the run, somewhere near
that theater playing Hard Kill.
851
00:37:41,792 --> 00:37:43,123
He's your problem now.
852
00:37:43,194 --> 00:37:46,027
You need to take care of him,
to make this right.
853
00:37:46,130 --> 00:37:50,362
Or I'll take care of you.
You do that, Trey.
854
00:37:50,468 --> 00:37:51,992
Get it done.
855
00:37:52,069 --> 00:37:53,058
(CLICKS KEYS)
856
00:37:53,504 --> 00:37:55,369
You were so afraid of Boothe
857
00:37:55,473 --> 00:37:57,805
that you killed Lance
in order to save your own skin.
858
00:37:57,875 --> 00:37:58,899
I would never do that.
859
00:37:59,010 --> 00:38:01,342
It sounds like
that's exactly what you did do.
860
00:38:01,445 --> 00:38:02,878
Now, what happened
after you hung up?
861
00:38:03,814 --> 00:38:05,145
I freaked.
862
00:38:05,883 --> 00:38:09,683
I called my mom.
Told her everything, the whole story.
863
00:38:10,354 --> 00:38:12,982
She said to lay low,
that she'd call a lawyer.
864
00:38:13,057 --> 00:38:15,992
And then the next morning,
Lance was dead.
865
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,452
I figured Boothe's guys got to him.
866
00:38:19,563 --> 00:38:22,157
Look, I was at my office all night.
I slept there.
867
00:38:22,233 --> 00:38:23,996
The cleaning crew saw me.
868
00:38:24,068 --> 00:38:26,298
I swear to you, I did not kill Lance.
869
00:38:27,638 --> 00:38:28,798
And I don't know who did.
870
00:38:32,176 --> 00:38:35,873
Tell me, Trey. Why would Lance
go through all this trouble to help you?
871
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:37,413
I don't know.
872
00:38:38,416 --> 00:38:42,147
He just said
that the cancer really woke him up,
873
00:38:42,219 --> 00:38:44,915
and that after all this was over,
874
00:38:45,022 --> 00:38:47,582
there were some things
that he wanted to tell me.
875
00:38:51,329 --> 00:38:55,561
So the cleaning crew confirmed
Trey's story. He is not our killer.
876
00:38:55,666 --> 00:38:56,997
Well, maybe it was
one of Boothe's men.
877
00:38:57,068 --> 00:38:58,194
We still haven't ruled them out.
878
00:38:58,269 --> 00:39:00,533
Hey, guys. I just found
something very interesting.
879
00:39:00,638 --> 00:39:01,662
The identity of the killer.
880
00:39:01,739 --> 00:39:02,728
RYAN: No, not that.
881
00:39:02,807 --> 00:39:05,207
You know how Trey said
that Lance's cancer woke him up?
882
00:39:05,576 --> 00:39:07,066
Well, I just spoke to his doctor.
883
00:39:07,178 --> 00:39:10,079
When Lance got the name
of his bone-marrow donor, to thank him,
884
00:39:10,181 --> 00:39:13,014
he found out there was a second donor
who was a very close match.
885
00:39:13,117 --> 00:39:14,482
Take a look at that name.
886
00:39:17,521 --> 00:39:18,783
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
887
00:39:23,728 --> 00:39:26,754
Have you released Trey yet?
He had nothing to do with this.
888
00:39:26,864 --> 00:39:29,025
Actually, Trey has
everything to do with this.
889
00:39:29,567 --> 00:39:30,625
I'm not sure I understand.
890
00:39:31,102 --> 00:39:33,195
When Lance needed
a bone-marrow transplant,
891
00:39:33,270 --> 00:39:35,067
Trey gave a sample
to see if he could donate.
892
00:39:35,306 --> 00:39:37,069
We all did. It was the least we could do.
893
00:39:37,141 --> 00:39:39,939
Except Trey's sample
was nearly a match.
894
00:39:40,144 --> 00:39:41,270
Lance must've had his suspicions,
895
00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:44,405
because he ran
a paternity test on that sample.
896
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:46,441
Trey was his son.
897
00:39:47,284 --> 00:39:48,308
No.
898
00:39:48,386 --> 00:39:50,445
He would've been conceived
during the filming of Hard Kill.
899
00:39:50,554 --> 00:39:51,816
Which is inconvenient,
900
00:39:51,922 --> 00:39:53,048
since you were
already married to Brock.
901
00:39:53,891 --> 00:39:55,654
BECKETT: We spoke
to your doorman, Naomi.
902
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,728
He said that you didn't
come home until well after midnight
903
00:39:57,795 --> 00:39:58,921
the night that Lance was killed.
904
00:39:58,996 --> 00:40:00,429
So, where were you?
905
00:40:00,564 --> 00:40:02,998
I didn't kill Lance,
if that's what you're suggesting.
906
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:04,732
CASTLE: You're more than capable of it.
907
00:40:04,802 --> 00:40:06,326
You don't just have a mean roundhouse,
908
00:40:06,437 --> 00:40:07,904
you hold two black belts.
909
00:40:08,439 --> 00:40:09,736
Okay, you need to leave.
910
00:40:09,807 --> 00:40:11,775
BECKETT: We matched the wire.
911
00:40:11,842 --> 00:40:13,639
The wire that you used
for your jewelry line,
912
00:40:13,744 --> 00:40:15,302
like the necklace
that you're wearing right now,
913
00:40:15,413 --> 00:40:17,142
it's an exact match
to our murder weapon.
914
00:40:17,348 --> 00:40:20,249
CASTLE: Trey told you that Lance
had something important to tell him.
915
00:40:20,785 --> 00:40:22,275
You knew the truth would come out.
916
00:40:26,123 --> 00:40:28,023
Lance would have
destroyed everything.
917
00:40:28,526 --> 00:40:30,494
My marriage, my family.
918
00:40:30,594 --> 00:40:34,121
Everything that I spent
almost 30 years trying to build.
919
00:40:35,166 --> 00:40:36,360
I couldn't let him do that.
920
00:40:40,838 --> 00:40:42,032
What's going on?
921
00:40:43,474 --> 00:40:44,805
You might be interested to know
922
00:40:44,875 --> 00:40:47,309
that Henry Allen Boothe
was just arrested by Narcotics.
923
00:40:48,612 --> 00:40:49,977
I thought they couldn't make a case.
924
00:40:50,047 --> 00:40:51,207
GATES: Well, they couldn't.
925
00:40:51,315 --> 00:40:54,045
But when Trey learned the truth
about why Lance really did all this,
926
00:40:54,151 --> 00:40:57,211
he stepped up and decided
to testify against Boothe.
927
00:40:57,721 --> 00:41:00,781
So good work,
Detective Beckett. Mr. Castle.
928
00:41:01,459 --> 00:41:03,723
Don't stay late. You can finish
the paperwork in the morning.
929
00:41:03,828 --> 00:41:04,886
BECKETT: Thank you, sir.
930
00:41:05,196 --> 00:41:06,185
Wow.
931
00:41:06,497 --> 00:41:09,330
Looks like Lance managed
to vanquish his nemesis after all.
932
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,129
An ending worthy of one of his movies.
933
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:15,132
You know, maybe we
should watch Hard Kill tonight.
934
00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:17,539
- In his honor.
- I was just gonna suggest
935
00:41:17,641 --> 00:41:18,665
the exact same thing.
936
00:41:18,742 --> 00:41:19,800
We're starting to think alike now.
937
00:41:19,877 --> 00:41:21,572
That is horrifying.
938
00:41:21,679 --> 00:41:23,306
Okay, uh, go cue up the movie,
939
00:41:23,380 --> 00:41:25,143
open up a bottle of wine,
I'll be home in a bit.
940
00:41:25,216 --> 00:41:27,150
I've just got a stop to make first.
941
00:41:27,585 --> 00:41:29,212
Well, if I'm thinking
what you're thinking,
942
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,084
and it's to pick up a sexy
archeologist costume, don't worry.
943
00:41:32,323 --> 00:41:33,847
(SOFTLY) I've already got the whip.
944
00:41:38,429 --> 00:41:39,760
- BECKETT: Thank you.
- Mmm.
945
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:50,500
