Transcript
00:00It's ringing in my ear from when I called you
00:04Got this tiny little fear that I won't see you
00:14Reading the paper? You are going to lose all of your wire, teen, hyper-texting, nano-gizmo street cred.
00:20I'm a rebel. I kick it old school.
00:22Is this?
00:23Cream to sugars.
00:24Thanks. Style section. Anything I need to know?
00:27The seventies are back.
00:29They're like the Highlander. They just won't die.
00:32Morning, Mother.
00:34You're dressed early.
00:35I have class.
00:36I believe that's a matter of some debate.
00:38At the new school, funny man.
00:42Look, it's not that I don't appreciate everything you've done, but the girl has to stand on her own two feet.
00:48What's the class?
00:50Introduction to life coaching.
00:52It's always been my desire to make a difference, whether on stage or off.
00:56I've had cars made.
00:59That's my item. It says I'm your client.
01:03Well, of course you are. Haven't I been telling you what to do your whole life?
01:06I've been...
01:08Oh, uh, Dad. Julie Smith Swathers back in rehab. So, a spot opened up to chaperone the DC trip.
01:13Where is the... How did you know Julie's dad was back in rehab?
01:16Must be a wired teen hipernano thing. So, what do you say?
01:19Sorry, kiddo. But, uh, with you away, my chaperoning needs reside here.
01:23Or are you forgetting what happened the last time we left her alone?
01:25So, she had a little party.
01:27There were lime shards embedded in the walls.
01:29It was Cinco de Mayo. Exactly.
01:32I hear dead people.
01:35Who was murdered and was it gruesome?
01:41One victim, Donald Kendall, 18. He was a senior at Redding Prep.
01:46Someone's gonna miss prom night.
01:47Redding Prep?
01:48Private school on Park Avenue.
01:50No trust fund baby left behind.
01:52What's he doing in the boat?
01:53No idea.
01:54Dr. Parrish, how you doing?
01:56Feet are cold.
01:57So, what do you got for me?
01:58Single GSW to the chest. Fairly large caliber.
02:01And from the lack of blood inside the boat, I'd say he wasn't killed at sea.
02:05Somebody moved him.
02:06He's got dirt and grass all on his chucky tees.
02:09Other than the post-mortem voyage, looks like a pop and drop.
02:12I'm guessing sometime late last night.
02:14Somebody dragged him here. He couldn't come from very far.
02:16Let's get uniforms down here to do a perimeter walk.
02:18Get him to go from the boats over there down to Fifth.
02:21And tell him they're looking for a blood pool and possible shell casings.
02:23Roger that.
02:25Esposito, did you check the boat house?
02:27Not yet.
02:28So, why the burial at sea?
02:30The Vikings believed that if you wanted to reach Valhalla, you needed a vessel.
02:34Untoting Viking, that's your theory?
02:36No, no, no. They also launched their dead with a sacrificial woman.
02:39And some booze and a good horse.
02:48Do you know what he would have been doing in the park?
02:50No.
02:51When was the last time you saw your son alive?
02:54Yesterday.
02:55When he left for school.
02:57Do you know maybe where he went after?
02:59He was usually with his friends.
03:00He didn't come home for dinner?
03:02Most nights, Donnie ate out or at someone else's place.
03:05He hung out with a pretty tight crowd at Reading.
03:08They've all been together since grammar school.
03:12Donnie used to have them over all the time.
03:14Only you moved recently.
03:16Yes, a few months ago.
03:18I was a partner at Lehman.
03:20When it went under, well, we took a big hit.
03:24That can be pretty tough on a teenager.
03:26You get used to a certain way of living, but it was no one's fault.
03:31Do you think Donnie was depressed?
03:34Donnie was strong.
03:35But to lose everything you have, we were just getting by.
03:40I'm very sorry for your loss.
03:44How did you know they moved?
03:49Either the Kendalls really like art or that shiny screen was meant for a much bigger apartment.
03:54I wonder how they could still afford Reading?
03:56You know the school?
03:57Oh, I've been kicked out of all of New York's finer educational institutions at least once.
04:02The irony is, now that I'm rich and famous, they all claim me as a lot and want money.
04:06It is just so rough being you.
04:08My cross to bear.
04:09When the Kendalls said they couldn't afford tuition, we put Donnie on scholarship.
04:12The family had been very generous in the past, and Donnie was one of our brightest.
04:16We thought he'd do great things.
04:18Any idea what he would have been doing in Central Park at night?
04:21The truth is, all these kids are icebergs.
04:23We only see the tip.
04:25If you want to know the rest, you should probably talk to his friends.
04:29Amanda, Romy, Brandon, Spencer, and Max.
04:33It's strange seeing them without Donnie.
04:36Thanks.
04:39Breaking news.
04:40My parents are off to Abu Dhabi, so I'm in a rent-free zone.
04:44Come over tonight for the Dancing with the Stars results show.
04:46Bedding opens at 7.30.
04:48My dad's cask-aged 16-year-old single malt opens next.
04:53That was before they moved and everything.
04:55Were any of you with Donnie last night?
04:57We hung out after school, but we all headed home around 5.
05:01Do you know of any reason he'd be in the park?
05:08Look, you guys, I went to York. I know all about honor codes and protecting your friends.
05:13You went to York prep?
05:14How's a Yorkie end up a cop?
05:16Things happen.
05:18Things like this.
05:20The point is that if you're trying to protect your friends' memory, I get it.
05:23But eventually the truth comes out.
05:25And the faster it does, the easier it'll be for us to help find who did it.
05:30His family had lost everything.
05:33Not that we cared, but we go out, you know?
05:36We always offered to cover him, but he couldn't handle it.
05:40He just kind of fell apart.
05:42Fell apart how?
05:43Guys, he can't get in trouble.
05:50He kind of got into drugs.
05:52If he had money problems, how'd he support a drug addict?
05:55He started dealing in the park.
06:00Classic tragedy.
06:02Prominent family falls into disrepute.
06:04Science spirals down.
06:06And bad things happen.
06:07Of course bad things happen.
06:08Otherwise it wouldn't be a tragedy.
06:09Did you know in the original Greek tragedy literally means ghost song?
06:12I know.
06:13It doesn't make any sense to me either.
06:15Whatever that first story was, I can't help but think.
06:17Bad things must have happened to that goat.
06:19Beckett.
06:22Mm-hmm.
06:23Yep.
06:24Okay.
06:27Of course.
06:28Sure, I'll be right there.
06:32Next time put it on speakerphone.
06:36I'm going to want to see the pictures of those plaid skirts and knee socks.
06:38Excuse me?
06:39I've seen those York school uniforms.
06:41Okay, I want in on your poker game.
06:45I went to public school.
06:47I just told him that to make him feel comfortable.
06:49Well played, Miss Streep.
06:51Which Merrill, out of Africa or Mamma Mia?
06:54Hey.
06:55Hey.
06:56So a 911 call comes in last night about 50 yards from here.
07:00Esposito's following up, but we found this.
07:02Looks like mud.
07:03It's actually blood.
07:04Figured he was sitting on top of the bench, takes one of the chest, falls back over here, and then he's dragged to the lake.
07:12So what's he doing sitting on a park bench at night?
07:14In my narc days this area was pretty much an open bazaar, especially at night.
07:16Drug deal gone bad.
07:17Fancy private school education.
07:18Don't mean you aren't stupid.
07:19Neither does a career in narcotics.
07:20What are you talking about?
07:21This is a very large pool of blood.
07:22Laney said he was shot with a large caliber bullet.
07:23So if this kid is dragged when he's a fresh kill, wouldn't there be more of a blood trail?
07:27He was lying here for a while.
07:28Why would someone come back and move him?
07:29If it was a drug dealer, then he's going to realize the cops are going to think a drug dealer if they find a body here.
07:32Increasing his chances of getting caught.
07:33So he drags the body over there just to try to throw us off.
07:36I don't know, Castle.
07:37A smart drug dealer?
07:38A smart drug dealer?
07:39No.
07:40I don't know, Castle.
07:41A smart drug dealer?
07:42No.
07:43No.
07:44No.
07:45No.
07:46No.
07:47No.
07:48No.
07:49No.
07:50No.
07:51No.
07:52No.
07:53No.
07:54No.
07:55No.
07:56This guy who'd be a drug dealer?
07:57Well, everything involved might not be in us.
08:02911 caller?
08:03Yeah, Mrs Falcino.
08:04I was walking the dog when she heard the shot last night.
08:07Few seconds later, she said she saw a white dude run past her.
08:09I got her looked into the mug books of dealers arrested in that area.
08:12Hey, detective, get over here!
08:15Hey.
08:17Is there someone you recognize, Mrs Falcino?
08:21No, I miss your sparkling personality.
08:24Yeah, that's the guy I saw right here.
08:27You sure?
08:27What, do you want to give me a lie detector? That's him!
08:31Do you know why you're here?
08:33No idea.
08:35The arresting officer said that he saw you in a hand-to-hand sale of narcotics in the park.
08:42Must have me confused with somebody else.
08:44Really? Is that what you're giving me? All drug dealers look alike?
08:48You were arrested with money and dope, Mr. Scoville?
08:50Well, given the fact that you have two prior felony sales on your sheet,
08:55you should probably come up with something better pretty quick.
08:57Why are you jamming me up like this?
08:58What were you doing in the park last night?
08:59What makes you think I was even in the park?
09:01A very reliable witness said she saw you running towards 72nd Street about midnight.
09:05Shouldn't she put him on his heels? Go straight for the shooting?
09:08It's not about putting him on his heels. It's about building a case for the DA.
09:13So? I was running the park, so...
09:15See? She just got him to put himself at the crime scene.
09:17So running isn't illegal, but shooting someone is?
09:21Shooting someone?
09:23Do you recognize this person? Donnie Kendall?
09:26Never seen him before.
09:28Really? How come I'm getting the feeling that you're not being completely truthful with me?
09:32Watch this. Watch it now.
09:35I want immunity.
09:37For what?
09:38The mumps?
09:39You know what a three-time loser is, Scoville?
09:43It's a person facing a third felony conviction.
09:46Someone just like you, in fact.
09:50All right.
09:51I seen him.
09:52Last night?
09:53Yeah, last night.
09:56Just placed him with the victim.
09:57You sell to him?
09:58No.
09:59You're a drug dealer. How'd you know him?
10:01You poker buddies?
10:01Yes.
10:02It was real nice chatting with you, Mr. Scoville.
10:10Maybe you can drop me a line in about 25 years?
10:13All right. All right. Hold up. Hold up. All right.
10:17I sold to him.
10:19When?
10:20Last night.
10:21A bunch of other times, too.
10:23Him and his little buddies.
10:24What little buddies?
10:29I don't know. Kids. Friends of his.
10:32Describe them.
10:33A couple of dudes. A couple of chicks. One was Asian.
10:36Kind of hot.
10:38Okay. So you're telling me that you saw all of them in the park last night, right?
10:43Yep.
10:46And now we got some witnesses.
10:48Witnesses who lied.
10:55You guys lied to me.
10:59You were all with Donnie when he got shot, weren't you?
11:04Anyone know what obstruction is?
11:08I believe that's when you deliberately give false information in a criminal case.
11:13You go to prison for it.
11:18Max?
11:22Amanda?
11:23Yeah.
11:28We were there.
11:30You were at the park.
11:32Donnie was out of control. We were just trying to stop him.
11:34Why don't I believe you?
11:41Guys, just tell the truth.
11:42Sometimes we go to the park, too.
11:51Yeah, we'd tell our parents we're hanging out at one of our apartments, but we'd actually go to the park and party, and Donnie would...
11:57Would get you whatever you wanted.
12:01So what happened?
12:02We're all just hanging out, having a good time partying, and this guy came over, and he's all messed up, and he's got this gun.
12:11And he's yelling at Donnie, where's my money? I need my freaking money.
12:16Donnie owes him 200 bucks.
12:18Donnie didn't have it.
12:18And the guy points the gun.
12:20And there's this loud pop, and you just see Donnie's body crumble.
12:23What did you guys do?
12:24We ran. We just ran.
12:26You didn't think to call the police?
12:27He was dead. I mean, we knew he was dead.
12:30Calling someone...
12:30Would have just gotten you into trouble?
12:32Did you get a good look at this guy?
12:35Do you think you'd be able to identify him?
12:41It was dark. You know, Donnie was at the end of the bench.
12:44Who was the closest?
12:49Okay, Romy, this will be easy. When we raise the shades, they won't be able to see you.
12:53Are you sure?
12:54I promise. They have no idea who's back here.
12:58You just let me know if you recognize anyone, okay?
13:03Raise the shades, please.
13:08Number one, step forward.
13:09Number one, step forward.
13:19Step back, number one.
13:20Step back.
13:21Number two.
13:22Number two. Step forward.
13:30Do you recognize anyone?
13:33Number two.
13:37Where do you recognize him from?
13:39The park.
13:41He shot Donnie.
13:44Okay.
13:44Okay.
13:44Okay.
13:44Okay.
13:44Okay.
13:52I'm trying to figure out how to murder someone in their sleep again?
14:01Not this time.
14:02Do you know when you were little, I used to watch you sleep every night before I went to bed, just for a few minutes.
14:10It was ridiculous how adorable you were.
14:15Who'd have thought all these years later you're still adorable?
14:17What part of snoring and drooling is adorable?
14:21Well, every 10 or 15 breaths you make a little snort noise and then sometimes you'll even get a little spit.
14:26Okay.
14:26Okay, dad.
14:27Seriously.
14:27Do you do drugs?
14:34No.
14:34Are you sure?
14:36Because you can tell me.
14:38Dad, am I lethargic and uncharacteristically irritable?
14:41No.
14:41Are my eyes bloodshot for no apparent reason?
14:43No, except when you're sick.
14:45Well, that's an apparent reason.
14:46Right.
14:46Are my grades plummeting?
14:48No.
14:48According to New York City's guidelines for parents and teachers, it's a pretty safe bet I'm clean.
14:53You make an excellent case.
14:55Parents are invited to the drug assemblies.
14:57You should come next time.
14:58Drug assemblies?
14:59Is that what the kids are calling them nowadays?
15:00They serve cookies.
15:01And which of your friends are going on this D.C. jamboree with you?
15:05Taylor, Kelsey, and Paige.
15:06Okay, how do I know they're not bringing a blow and party and winehouse style?
15:10Um, because you know them really well and they're good kids.
15:15But maybe they're icebergs.
15:16Does this have something to do with that Redding kid?
15:20Dad, he was in Central Park really, really late at night.
15:25That's something I would never do.
15:27But if you did, you could tell me.
15:30I don't want you to feel you ever have to lie to me.
15:32Anything you and your friends have done, believe me, I've done worse.
15:36I know.
15:37But the good news is, I'm not you.
15:41I just mean you don't have to worry.
15:43Besides, if I ever got in any real trouble, my friends would be there to bail me out.
15:47All right.
15:49Because that's what friends do.
15:54Yeah.
15:55Yeah.
15:56Yeah.
15:57Yeah.
15:58Sometime we really live in a garage in school.
16:00Gentlemen.
16:01Gentlemen.
16:02Excuse me.
16:03I gotta go.
16:04I gotta go.
16:06I didn't Donnie's friends just give him the money.
16:09What are you talking about?
16:10These kids always have cash.
16:12You gonna tell me one of them couldn't spring a few bucks to save his life?
16:15Castle.
16:16Some demented drug dealer's waving a gun.
16:18They probably froze up.
16:19But all of them?
16:20He wasn't asking SAT questions.
16:22He was asking for money.
16:23Something these kids probably count in their sleep.
16:26Look.
16:27The Scoville is a bad dude.
16:29And we got more than enough.
16:30Yeah.
16:31With the girl.
16:32It's a slam dunk.
16:33And who gave you the girl?
16:34Scoville.
16:37So the guy's not a genius.
16:39Okay.
16:40Okay.
16:41Say you're right.
16:42Why would these kids pick the wrong guy for a murder?
16:44Simple.
16:46One of them did it.
16:56Hey.
16:59Beckett.
17:00Yankman.
17:01Who's the sidekick?
17:02He's the...
17:03Fuzzle.
17:04Consultant.
17:05Yeah?
17:06Well, shouldn't you consult the consultant before you arrest the wrong guy?
17:09I'm not sure I have the wrong guy yet, Yankman.
17:12Well, my client's not happy.
17:14He gave you potential witnesses and then you used one against him.
17:18Yeah.
17:19Well, your client wasn't exactly forthcoming.
17:21But I'm willing to reconsider if he tells me everything he knows.
17:25Don't trust her.
17:26Seeing as how you're facing a murder charge, why don't you just go with the flow?
17:29Consultant boy's right.
17:30You got nothing to lose.
17:33The night that Donnie was killed, you sold to him and his friends, right?
17:37No.
17:38No?
17:39That's not how you really get her to reconsider.
17:41I didn't sell to him.
17:44It was working for me.
17:46Working for you.
17:49I supplied that punk.
17:52Alright, his friends bought off me too.
17:54Then they'd go play dealer selling to the upscales in Sheep's Meadow.
17:57Wait a minute, they sold for you?
17:58Donnie, yeah.
18:00The others, it was just like a goof, like walk on the wild side, like truth or dare.
18:04So where were you when Donnie got shot?
18:06I was hanging with my boys down by the Alice in Wonderland statue.
18:09We didn't see nothing.
18:10We heard the shot, took off.
18:12What about the gun?
18:14I told you, I don't pack.
18:16Criminal record with no firearms convictions does sort of give it the ring of truth.
18:20If past is prologue, how we doing on reconsideration?
18:26Don't have to answer if you don't want.
18:28I know the answer.
18:30Anytime.
18:32Anytime, Beckett.
18:33You gotta be kidding me.
18:36I already told the brass that we got the guy.
18:38I can see how that'd be a little awkward.
18:39The mayor even called to thank me.
18:41He's in for the Knicks game, by the way.
18:42Sweet.
18:43Look, I know everyone likes the violent drug dealer for this.
18:46No.
18:47We love the violent drug dealer for this.
18:48Only the violent drug dealer's story makes more sense than our witnesses.
18:51Plus, and I know I'm new here, but aren't you supposed to arrest the right guy?
18:57Okay, go and talk to the girl again.
18:59But my violent drug dealer stays where he is until I say so.
19:03See you at the game.
19:04Got it.
19:09So this dealer asked Donny for the couple hundred he owed him, right?
19:12Yeah.
19:13And Donny told him he didn't have it.
19:15Right.
19:18Mind if I take a look at your purse?
19:19Her purse?
19:20What for?
19:21I can get a warrant if you want.
19:26Gucci.
19:28What does my bag have to do with anything?
19:35If Donny was such a good friend, why did you let him get shot?
19:38Let him?
19:42You had more than enough money to pay off the guy.
19:44I bet you all had more than enough.
19:46And yet Donny is dead.
19:48Why didn't any of you front him the money?
19:50What are you implying?
19:51She isn't implying.
19:52She's saying your daughter is lying about what happened that night.
19:59There wasn't a guy, was there, Romy?
20:04I didn't do anything.
20:06Romy.
20:07What really happened to Donny that night?
20:14It was an accident.
20:18We were just playing a game.
20:19A game?
20:20Like Russian roulette.
20:21Romy?
20:22With a gun?
20:23It was just for fun.
20:24We did it all the time.
20:25For fun?
20:26Where'd you get the gun, Romy?
20:29Spencer had it.
20:30We never meant for there to be bullets.
20:32We just pointed the gun at each other and pulled the trigger just to see what it felt like.
20:36Then how did Donny get shot?
20:39Spencer bought bullets.
20:41We went up to a summer house in Montauk just to shoot around cans and stuff.
20:46One must have got left in by accident.
20:48Who?
20:49Who shot him?
20:50Romy, look at me.
20:55Who shot Donny?
21:00Max.
21:02It was Max.
21:06Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD.
21:07I'm looking for Max Heller.
21:09Is he here?
21:10No.
21:11I'm his mother.
21:12What's going on?
21:13I need to see him right now, Mrs. Heller.
21:14Do you know where he is?
21:15No, I don't.
21:16What is it?
21:17I have a warrant for his arrest.
21:21A warrant?
21:22My God, for what?
21:23He's wanted for murder, Mrs. Heller.
21:25Do you understand?
21:27I need you to go and call him on the cell phone.
21:29Find out where he is.
21:30Tell him not to move.
21:31Everything is going to be all right, but I need you to do it now.
21:33Detective Esposito will go with you.
21:35Get a photograph of him for the APB, please.
21:37Right.
21:39Detective.
21:42Beckett.
21:45What?
21:46Where?
21:51The kid's not answering his cell phone.
21:53Mom thinks maybe he went to the park.
21:55Yeah, he went to the park.
21:57And killed himself.
22:01So, what now?
22:02What should I do?
22:05What?
22:06What?
22:22Hey, if you're looking for lunch money, my wallet's on the nightstand.
22:25I lied to you, Dad.
22:26Well, can this wait?
22:28No.
22:29You need to know.
22:34Oh.
22:35Yeah.
22:38Yeah.
22:39Well, okay.
22:40You know what?
22:41Remember the holiday formal?
22:42How Kelsey and I went to Taylor's house after?
22:45Well, when we left, it was already rainy.
22:46And we tried for like half an hour to get a taxi, but we couldn't.
22:49And we were already so soaking wet and cold that we finally decided to take the subway, even though it was way after 10.
22:55Well, considering that getting a cab in the rain is kind of like winning the Powerball jackpot, I forgive you.
23:00No.
23:01Listen.
23:02The two was coming and Kelsey ran through the door and was going down the stairs to hold the door for me.
23:05But when I swiped my card, it was empty and I didn't have any time to add any more money to it.
23:08And Kelsey was screaming for me to come and I was just so tired and I was just anxious to get home that Dad, I...
23:14I don't even want to say it.
23:16What?
23:17I jumped the turnstile.
23:23Did you make the train?
23:24Yeah, but the point is I didn't tell you even after you were so sweet and concerned yesterday. I'm sorry.
23:30Oh, you actually jumped the turnstile?
23:32But I swiped my card twice the next day and didn't even ride.
23:36Okay.
23:38Sweetie, if that's the worst thing you've done, I'm happy, happy man.
23:43But I lied to you. Shouldn't you punish me?
23:46Yes. No, you're right.
23:50Mandatory ice cream for breakfast. No excuses.
23:52I'm serious. If you won't, I will.
23:54I'm serious about the ice cream.
23:55Fine.
23:57I'm grounded for a week.
23:58Alright, you're tough but fair.
24:00After the DC trip.
24:03That's my girl.
24:07Thanks, John.
24:12Hey, whatcha doing?
24:14Paperwork to dismiss the homicide charges against Scoville.
24:18Ballistics.
24:19Confirms that the gun used on Donnie in the park that night was the same one Max used on himself.
24:23I'm usually better at reading people.
24:27You spent half an hour with Max.
24:28There's no way you could have seen that coming.
24:30Poor kid must have been a mess.
24:32Imagine shooting your best friend and then having to lie about it.
24:35Well, he did more than just lie about it.
24:37What do you mean?
24:39He went back and moved his friend's body.
24:41He went back and moved his friend's body.
24:43Having the presence of mind to move the body isn't exactly consistent with a guilty conscience, is it?
24:52I'd say that's more an act of a cold-blooded killer.
24:55And a cold-blooded killer doesn't suddenly feel guilty enough to commit suicide, does he?
24:59Not in any story I'd write.
25:00So if we're right, and Max didn't move Donnie's body, then who did?
25:09Looks like you're based in garden-variety suicide.
25:12But you said on the phone that there was something that wasn't consistent with the suicide.
25:16Looks like suicide.
25:18But his shooting hand, more specifically, his right index finger has a slight abrasion, visible only under the scope.
25:24Department autopsy protocol doesn't even call to look for that kind of thing.
25:27And the abrasion means what to you?
25:29That someone may have helped him pull the trigger.
25:32Plus, toxicology has his blood alcohol content at 0.28.
25:360.28?
25:37So he was drunk.
25:38Way drunk?
25:40At 0.28, he may not have even been conscious.
25:43So Max was murdered.
25:47Whoever staged Max's suicide wanted us to believe that he killed himself out of guilt over shooting Donnie,
25:53which makes me think Max didn't kill Donnie after all.
25:55The other kids corroborated Romy's story that Max pulled the trigger.
25:59I didn't say he didn't shoot him. I said he didn't kill him.
26:02Is that the Zen Cohen one-hand clapping thing?
26:04These kids played a game of pretending to shoot at each other.
26:08What if one of them wanted Donnie dead for real?
26:09What better way than to get someone else to pull the trigger?
26:12You think one of the other kids put a bullet in the gun without Max knowing?
26:16That's our killer.
26:18Oh, I like that.
26:20You bought the bullets, Spencer.
26:21It was just to screw around.
26:23If by screwing around you mean intentionally putting a bullet in a chamber knowing that Max was going to shoot Donnie, then yes.
26:29You and I are in total agreement.
26:30Detective Beckett.
26:31If the point of the game was to shoot without bullets, then why would you have bullets unless you intended to use them?
26:37I told you. I didn't know there were any bullets in the gun.
26:40Well, somebody did. And I think whoever it is killed Max. Your gun, your bullets. From where I'm standing, Spencer, you did it.
26:46So where were you between 6.30 and 9 last night?
26:52Uh, at my dad's club. The Century. With Brandon.
26:58You better hope that Brandon corroborates that.
27:05Look, I know Rami and Spencer told you guys everything and that we're all in big trouble.
27:11But I'm glad.
27:12You're glad?
27:13Yes. We should have just come clean with you guys after the accident.
27:16You're damn right you should have.
27:17I know.
27:20But we didn't want to screw Max over.
27:22That's why you figured the drug dealer, right? Because he's expendable.
27:25I told Rami that was wrong.
27:27But she wanted to protect Max.
27:28And that junkie's the one who got Donnie into dealing in the first place.
27:31So where were you when Max was killed?
27:33With Spencer. At his dad's club.
27:37Ask him. He'll confirm it.
27:38You guys always have your stories straight, don't you?
27:41We weren't at the park. It was the drug dealer. It was Max. You guys are always in sync.
27:47Maybe that's why I don't believe you.
27:52You don't have to believe me.
27:55I have proof.
27:56I have proof.
28:01We take these videos, you know, just for laughs, doing crazy stuff.
28:06Rami's dad, Mr. Lee, is like this big IT guy.
28:09And he act us up with a file share over Bluetooth.
28:12That way we'd all get the files.
28:13Amanda shot this that night.
28:21What is it?
28:23A video.
28:26Of Donnie getting shot.
28:27We were all supposed to erase it, but I knew that if the truth came out, we'd all be screwed.
28:37And after what happened to those kids in that Duke case, I just...
28:42I didn't want to end up like that.
28:46Here.
28:48Oh yeah, suck it down, Brad.
28:50Suck it! Suck it!
28:52You're so sad.
28:54I just fell in the ground.
28:56Oh, great. Pumped. He's back.
28:57Hi, Mom.
28:58Alright, let's do this, baby.
28:59Class me, Maxo. Take me out.
29:01Hey, you pulled my mom's hair.
29:03You stole.
29:05More than my entire family.
29:07Cue the violins.
29:08Oh, man.
29:10Cue this.
29:12Okay, here we go.
29:13Woo!
29:15Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.
29:28You okay?
29:30I was just thinking about Donnie's parents.
29:33What they'll go through when they watch that video.
29:39Guess it's not too often you get a murder call on tape, huh?
29:41Yeah, well, he was smart to keep it, otherwise they'd all be facing a manslaughter charge.
29:48Yeah.
29:50That was pretty smart when you think about it, wasn't it?
29:53I know that tone, Castle.
29:55I'm just saying, it's pretty lucky they filmed their little game that night.
29:58Yeah, people post crazy stuff on YouTube.
30:00I get filming it the first few times. It's exciting.
30:03But the 10th? The 15th?
30:05What was so special about that night?
30:07Donnie got shot.
30:08So the only reason to film it is...
30:10You knew something was gonna happen.
30:11You knew something was gonna happen.
30:22And that was when?
30:24Okay, thank you, Mrs. Kendall.
30:26Get this.
30:28Donnie and Amanda were dating until about a month ago.
30:30When Donnie broke it off.
30:31Donnie broke it off.
30:38You weren't in school today, Amanda.
30:40So?
30:41I wasn't up for it.
30:42Yes.
30:43Lying can be so exhausting.
30:44So can losing two of your friends.
30:46We saw the video.
30:48Brandon told me.
30:49So now you know everything.
30:51Why'd you shoot the video that night?
30:52I don't know, we did lots of times.
30:54When was the last time before that night?
30:57I don't remember.
30:58Look, I thought you said you saw what happened.
31:00We did.
31:01We're just not sure why we saw what happened.
31:04Your decision to make a video that night doesn't make any sense.
31:08Unless you knew something was gonna happen.
31:11You think I knew?
31:13It was totally an accident.
31:15There's no way I could have known Donnie was gonna get shot.
31:19Sure there is.
31:20If you're the one who put a bullet in the gun.
31:21What?
31:23We spoke to Donnie's parents.
31:25We know you two were dating.
31:26We also know Donnie broke up with you about a month ago.
31:30Oh my God!
31:31It gives you motive, Amanda.
31:33It's not what happened!
31:35Yes, Donnie broke up with me.
31:37But only because he found out I hooked up with Brandon.
31:41Brandon?
31:43Everything with his family, Donnie checked out.
31:47He wasn't there for me and Brandon was.
31:49I bet he was.
31:51It's not like that.
31:52Brandon's a really good guy.
31:54A good guy who kept the only copy of a video he told us you shot.
31:58If Brandon kept the video, he had his reasons.
32:04Brandon told you to shoot the video that night, didn't he?
32:06Yeah.
32:07Guess who just changed his story?
32:08Your buddy Spencer.
32:09Your comrade just gave up your alibi for Max's murder.
32:10You mean Max's suicide, don't you?
32:11The last I checked, I wouldn't need an alibi for that, would I?
32:12The medical examiner concluded that Max's murder.
32:13You mean Max's suicide, don't you?
32:14The last I checked, I wouldn't need an alibi for that, would I?
32:15The medical examiner concluded that Max's death was a homicide.
32:16Oh.
32:17I don't know.
32:18How?
32:19Well, I'm sure there are any number of experts we can hire with, right?
32:21You mean Max?
32:22Okay.
32:23You're not like, huh.
32:29Yeah, sure.
32:30You're not like you.
32:31The man's так and what's wrong with him.
32:33You're just kidding.
32:34You're right.
32:35That's it.
32:36I'm like, okay.
32:37You're done.
32:38And last I checked, I wouldn't need an alibi for that, would I?
32:40The medical examiner concluded that Max's death was a homicide.
32:44Oh.
32:45Well, I'm sure there are any number of experts we can hire who'll disagree with a city employee.
32:50Expert witnesses? Scrambling for alibis? Sounds like you're already building a defense.
32:54You guys have been running around accusing everyone of murder.
32:57I figured my term was coming and I'd better be ready.
32:59Only now we know it was you.
33:01All three of your friends have solid alibis for the night Max was killed.
33:05You say killed, I say suicide.
33:06Where were you that night?
33:07I took a walk.
33:08I knew you guys wouldn't believe me, so I asked Spencer to cover for me.
33:11That's what you guys do, right?
33:13Cover for each other.
33:14Exactly.
33:17Look, detective.
33:19You're hot and everything.
33:21But if you had any actual evidence, you'd have already arrested me.
33:25Me?
33:27I have a video that proves Max killed Donnie.
33:31You really think a jury's gonna believe he didn't get drunken off himself?
33:35This is just a game for you, isn't it?
33:38Like selling drugs in the park.
33:40Well, if it was, it looks like I'd be winning.
33:44But hey, if you think I did it, let's see you prove it.
33:50You know, I actually happen to prove things is really tedious.
34:03Welcome to my world.
34:03Brandon had this all planned.
34:05He gets Max to shoot Donnie, then gets Max drunk and kills him.
34:08There's no such thing as a perfect crime castle.
34:10Not yet.
34:11But one day I'm gonna ride it.
34:13Okay.
34:15We canvassed every store, stand, and homeless guy from the park's entrance at 72nd to the scene.
34:20And no one remembers seeing Max or Brandon last night.
34:23If we can't put Brandon at Max's murder scene, then the DA will never move.
34:27These kids were hooked on video sharing.
34:28There has to be something.
34:29I already scrolled through every video, audio, photo, and text file on that thing.
34:33I guess we weren't lucky enough to have Max take video of Brandon killing her.
34:36My thing is, if he did, Brandon would have known.
34:38Would have popped up on his shared folder as soon as their phone...
34:41Synced.
34:43Synced.
34:45If they were together when Max was murdered, then their phones would have automatically synced.
34:48There'd be a record.
34:49You have the right to have a lawyer present, Brandon.
35:05If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you.
35:09We could afford a million lawyers.
35:11She still has to advise me on my rights, right?
35:13Right.
35:14Anyway, that's cool.
35:15I don't want a lawyer.
35:17This is way more fun.
35:19Maybe you'd like to just sign a confession, then?
35:23Sure.
35:29I confess...
35:33that I'm dying to cop a feeling to hear cop laughs.
35:40There.
35:42Now I feel so much better.
35:43You sure you don't want to call somebody?
35:49Your parents, maybe?
35:51Why would I worry them?
35:52You know, I made a call just a little while ago to my bookie.
35:55Sweet.
35:56I was standing in the street outside Nobu waiting for my car.
35:59Oh, yeah, I love that place.
36:00The black squid pasta is amazing.
36:02Anyway, I was talking on the phone when the valet pulled up with my car, and all of a sudden my call got cut off.
36:07But I realized, oh, the Bluetooth in my car picked up the call automatically because they were linked.
36:14You told us that all your phone's auto-share media files via Bluetooth link, right?
36:19So?
36:19So, your phone linked with Max's phone the night he was killed.
36:23It's a digital fingerprint that places you within 20 feet of Max at the time of his murder.
36:28You did say if she got some actual evidence, she should arrest you.
36:31You took advantage of Max's guilt over Donnie's death, and you got him blackout drunk.
36:36And then you put a gun in his hand, pressed it against his temple, and then you pulled the trigger.
36:41Why would I do that?
36:42To cover your tracks over killing Donnie.
36:44Why would I kill Donnie?
36:48Amanda.
36:49Amanda is with me, not Donnie.
36:52Yeah, only after Donnie lost all his money.
36:55Which makes you sloppy seconds.
36:57I had to eat you alive knowing that Amanda had been with Donnie.
37:00Especially because you got way more than just under her blouse, right?
37:04I love that video that shows that Max killed Donnie.
37:09Not me.
37:11And arranging that was very impressive.
37:14Fooling Spencer, Romy, and Amanda wasn't that hard.
37:16They didn't handle the gun.
37:17But Max was another story.
37:21He actually pulled the trigger, and he just couldn't let it go, could he?
37:25And then he remembered, you gave him the gun.
37:27So he called you and asked to meet you.
37:29We have a record of the call.
37:31You knew something was up, so you brought the gun.
37:35And what, vodka?
37:36Or was Max a scotch guy?
37:38He knew all about you, Donnie, and Amanda.
37:42He had to wonder, did you set me up to kill my best friend?
37:47And when he realized you had, he wasn't going to keep it quiet, was he?
37:54Even with you telling him you'd all go to jail.
37:58If only Max had been strong enough just to man up.
38:03If only Donnie realized he didn't belong with you guys anymore.
38:07He and Amanda were through, but then none of this would have been necessary.
38:10Weak people just don't get it, do they, Brandon?
38:19Sometimes they just have to be led to the truth.
38:25Exactly.
38:27Did he just say exactly?
38:29Because I heard him say exactly.
38:31Yep, I heard it too.
38:35You tricked me.
38:36You tricked me.
38:38It's called admission against interest.
38:40Just a fancy term for confession.
38:42Pretty sweet, huh?
38:43Mm-hmm.
38:43Oh.
38:44And the funny thing is, I bet you thought you were pretty clever to go back and move Donnie's
38:49body, right?
38:50But the thing is, is we would have never figured it out if you hadn't.
38:54Well, she would have never figured it out.
38:56Oh, like you would have figured it out.
38:57I definitely would have figured it out.
38:58Are you kidding me right now?
38:59Honest truth, straight face from my heart.
39:01Okay.
39:10Let's go.
39:24Power up.
39:24I don't want to be late.
39:26You're coming?
39:26You're looking at the official replacement chaperone.
39:29Yay!
39:30I just realized I have some business to take care of in D.C. anyway.
39:33Really?
39:33Yeah, I gotta pick out a spot for my mom, just in case.
39:36I think Washington and Lincoln already have the good ones.
39:38Maybe they can move Jefferson.
39:39Oh, yeah.
39:40I'm sure.
39:40All right, you two kids, hurry off now.
39:44You don't want to miss any of the fun.
39:51Any of your fun, you mean?
39:52It's not what you think.
39:53No, it's exactly what I thought.
40:02Now, does this look like a wild group?
40:05For your information, I am hosting a seminar for my life coaching class, Be the Change
40:11You Want to See.
40:12How very zen of you.
40:13Dad, come on.
40:14We support it.
40:14She's trying to help people.
40:17Yeah, to my liquor cabinet.
40:18No, this is going to be a very civilized affair.
40:20Now, oh, oh, oh, oh.
40:22Have fun.
40:27Okay.
