Transcript
00:00There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people.
00:03Psychopaths and mystery writers.
00:05I'm the kind that pays better.
00:07Who am I?
00:07I'm Rick Castle.
00:08Castle.
00:09Castle.
00:09I really am ruggedly handsome, aren't I?
00:12Every writer needs inspiration, and I've found mine.
00:14Detective Kate Beckett.
00:15Beckett.
00:16Beckett.
00:16Nicky Heath.
00:17The character he's basing on you.
00:18And thanks to my friendship with the mayor, I get to be on her case.
00:21I'd be happy to let you spank me.
00:23And together we catch killers.
00:25Make a pretty good team, you know, like Starsky and Hutch.
00:27Turner and Hooch.
00:28You do remind me a little of Hooch.
00:30This is Blackburn identification.
00:47Designate 223, I am blown.
00:49I am blown.
00:50This call is unauthorized, 223.
00:52This line is not secure.
00:53Where is the safe house?
00:54Negative 223 and other rules.
01:00We've got something between us.
01:24Nothing can change.
01:26Hmm, well, I suppose you're writing away, Warren.
01:29Sure, I'm right.
01:30Aren't you going to answer that?
01:31Nope.
01:32And neither are you.
01:34Ah, who are you hiding from now?
01:38Gina.
01:39Oh, forget an alimony payment?
01:41No, this time she's not calling as my ex-wife.
01:42She's calling as my publisher.
01:44The first draft of my new manuscript was due yesterday and I haven't finished.
01:48Why not?
01:49I haven't felt like writing and besides, I don't think I'm entirely happy with where my characters
01:53are going.
01:54Well, change them.
01:57Working on it.
01:58What are you doing here?
01:59I thought you had an audition for Williamstown tonight.
02:01I do.
02:02Just came to pick up my lucky plouse.
02:03Ah!
02:04I got in!
02:05I got in!
02:06Oh, God!
02:06Oh, my God, you got in!
02:08That's amazing!
02:09I can't...
02:09I don't...
02:09What did you get into?
02:11Princeton Summer Program for High School Students.
02:13I thought you got wait-listed.
02:14Someone just canceled, but we have to send them a deposit ASAP because it starts this weekend.
02:18This weekend?
02:20I know we had plans, but they really...
02:21Not just plans.
02:22Memorial Day.
02:23The Hamptons, our annual kickoff for summer week.
02:26I mean, I got the illegal fireworks, the kind you like, the ones with the silver starburst.
02:31Dad, it's Princeton.
02:33I can't believe you would blow off illegal fireworks for a lousy head start at a top-notch education.
02:36I know.
02:37I'm a huge disappointment.
02:39Now, there are a bunch of forms you need to sign, and I'll fill the rest out for you later.
02:41Mm-hmm.
02:42Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey.
02:44It says here that the dorms are co-ed.
02:47Yeah, it's college.
02:49No, it's a summer program for high school students at a college.
02:53According to this, half the kids in your building will be 16- and 17-year-old boys.
02:58Relax, Dad.
02:59Each floor has a resident advisor who's 21.
03:02Oh, so the one person in charge is conveniently old enough to buy alcohol?
03:06Darling, don't be such a prude.
03:09Remember that trip you took to Italy with your class?
03:11You were younger than Alexis is now.
03:13Mother, if you had any idea what happened on that trip, you would have never let me leave
03:17the house again.
03:19Sometimes the less you know, the better.
03:26Ah!
03:28Beckett.
03:28You have a novel to finish.
03:32It's Castle.
03:34It's kind of like a tradition.
03:36You know, bonfires, roasting marshmallows, telling ghost stories, sleeping late.
03:40We've done it since she was five.
03:42Sounds nice.
03:44Kind of magical, actually.
03:46Yeah, you know what?
03:46You should come.
03:47Oh, it's right on the ocean.
03:49There's a secluded pool.
03:50You could lay out, work on your tan.
03:52Wow, Castle, you were working really hard to see me in a swimsuit.
03:56If you are not comfortable in a swimsuit, you can just skin it in.
04:01Mix of white mail.
04:02Multiple gunshot wounds to the chest.
04:04Found him about an hour ago.
04:06Buggy?
04:07Nah, he still has his watch, wallet, and cash.
04:10Then there's the matter of the phantom bullets.
04:12Yeah, he took five to the chest.
04:14There are no slugs, shell casings, and the killer went so far as to dig his bullets out of
04:17that tree branch.
04:19That's weird.
04:19What about in the body?
04:20They're all through and throughs, exit holes on each wound.
04:23So our doer cleaned up after himself.
04:26It takes a real presence of mind to put five bullets into a man's chest and then keep your
04:30cool long enough to pick up after yourself.
04:33Natural instinct is to run.
04:35I would say we are most likely dealing with a highly trained assassin.
04:40Time of death?
04:41Based on temperature and lividity, I'd say between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m.
04:45I do.
04:46Sean Caldwell, no driver's license, but according to his work ID, he was a consultant for FGS
04:52in Midtown.
04:53Fast Water Global Services?
04:55Sounds like a CIA front.
04:57Okay, found these in his pocket.
05:00Company car keys, there's no house keys on the chain.
05:04There's a generic hotel key card.
05:07In from out of town?
05:08Except the company address is local and so is his gym membership.
05:10All right, I've CSU sweep the area, canvas the homeless people, see if anyone saw or heard
05:15anything.
05:30Ocean view from my patio.
05:32It does not get better than this.
05:34What's wrong?
05:37I tried information, our database.
05:39They even did an internet search and it's like these guys don't even exist.
05:42Who?
05:43Fast Water Global Services.
05:44Ah, see?
05:45I told you.
05:46CIA cover.
05:47No, they probably just don't like to advertise.
05:49Yeah, well, I thought so as well.
05:51So I checked their address, 1747 West 43rd Street.
05:55It's in the middle of the Hudson River.
05:58So I went back and checked through his wallet and looked at his IDs, his gym membership, health
06:03insurance, even his ATM card.
06:05They're all fakes.
06:06You run his name?
06:08Yeah, there's about half a dozen Sean Caldwells in the tri-state area and none of them are
06:11a match.
06:12What about his fingerprints?
06:13Not in our system.
06:15Hey, Beckett.
06:16Hey, what'd you guys find?
06:17Well, we spoke to some homeless guys who were camped a couple hundred yards from the overpass
06:20last night.
06:20They didn't see or hear anything.
06:22Four hundred yards?
06:23How do you not hear five gunshots unless...
06:26He used a silencer.
06:27To kill a man who went out of the way to hide who he was?
06:30This is starting to sound more and more like a professional hit.
06:32Yeah, well, we're nowhere until we figure out who this guy actually is.
06:34So why don't you guys go canvas the area near the entrance to the park, see if you can
06:37find his car.
06:38And fax his photo to a local hotel, see if anyone recognizes his face.
06:42I don't...
06:44You know, I was...
06:47I was kidding about the assassin stuff.
06:52It's Lainey.
06:54Please tell me that you found something.
06:56Well, I found nothing that sheds light on the identity of your victim, but I did find
07:00something that may help with your killer.
07:01We know the shooter tried to scrub the crime scene of ballistic evidence, but one of the
07:06rounds shattered Mr. Caldwell's rib and left this little souvenir.
07:11A bullet fragment?
07:13Can't tell the caliber, but his polygonal rifling along the outer rim is consistent with the
07:16barrel of a Glock.
07:17Hmm.
07:18What?
07:19The grouping of the shots.
07:21You see how tight they all are?
07:23There's no stippling, no muzzle burns.
07:26The killer must have shot from a distance.
07:28Which means he's a very good shot.
07:29He's got it.
07:32Hey.
07:34Great.
07:35Thanks.
07:37They found the car.
07:38The car's registered to Allied Fleet Services, a car rental agency.
07:42Well, I hope they got the insurance option.
07:44Who did they rent it to?
07:45This particular car is on a long-term lease to FGS.
07:49Fast Water Global Services.
07:51Do they know they rented their car to a company that doesn't exist?
07:53Oh, no, it exists, just not in New York.
07:56All correspondence, billing, and payments go through a P.O. box in the Cayman Islands.
08:00It's even weirder.
08:01In the trunk, I found these.
08:04Euros.
08:045,000 of them.
08:06And?
08:06That looks military.
08:12Yeah.
08:12What's in the box?
08:14A fancy pin.
08:16Nice.
08:17Bag full of Euros, a high-tech heater, and a silent killer who leaves no trace.
08:20Good evening, 223.
08:22The informant has been identified.
08:23Ally contact will meet you at Cafe.
08:25I do.
08:26Nice.
08:26With further instructions.
08:28Wear the pen.
08:29Use the following code phrase, aren't you Steve's friend?
08:31Response.
08:32No, Steve is my brother.
08:34Good luck, 223.
08:34Well, now we know why our victim doesn't exist.
08:42He's a spy.
08:57We contacted the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, and Homeland Security, and so far, all of them are denying that he was one of theirs.
09:04Well, of course they're going to deny it.
09:06He was probably disavowed the moment he was killed, making this officially the coolest case ever.
09:10So, what do you want us to do, sir?
09:13Your job.
09:14To someone more important tells us different, treat this like a standard homicide case.
09:18You go to the cafe.
09:19If this contact of his is an ally, they may be willing to talk.
09:22How are we going to identify the contact?
09:25Same way our victim was going to.
09:44Bingo.
09:45Say something.
09:47Her?
09:48She's the only one here alone.
09:55Aren't you Steve's friend?
09:57Pardon?
09:58Aren't you Steve's friend?
10:00Steve.
10:01No, no, I'm sorry.
10:02I don't know Steve.
10:06Okay.
10:07Are you sure?
10:08So he's not your brother?
10:11Go away.
10:12Okay.
10:15Wasn't her.
10:16Yeah, I gathered.
10:18I still feel a little odd to you.
10:20What?
10:21Well, cloak and dagger secret meetings, code words.
10:24It all feels a little old-fashioned.
10:27I mean, why meet face-to-face when you can just send an encrypted email?
10:30Sometimes you just have to do things off the grid.
10:34Speaking of off the grid, I was serious about this weekend.
10:38You're seriously asking me to your place in the Hamptons.
10:42I promise.
10:42No funny stuff.
10:43Just a friendly getaway.
10:45It'll be fun.
10:46Yeah.
10:48No.
10:49You know, some of us have to work for a living.
10:52On Memorial Day?
10:53Yes.
10:54I spent all of my vacation days looking for a new place to live.
10:57Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
11:08Are you Steve's friend?
11:09No.
11:10Steve's my brother.
11:12Brower.
11:14Hans Brower.
11:16Sean Caldwell.
11:16We don't have much time.
11:18The target's in country, but on the move.
11:20Go to Alpha Location and look for the sign.
11:22But Blackbird wants you to know there are other assets in play.
11:24So if they move on you, go to ground.
11:27But if you get a shot, take it.
11:29Understood?
11:31Understood.
11:33Uh, wait.
11:36My people need confirmation on the target's name.
11:39What did you say?
11:40The target's name.
11:41My people need confirmation.
11:42Who are you?
11:46NYPD.
11:48Hands up.
11:50Not you, Castle.
11:52Right.
11:57You people have no idea what you just stepped into.
12:00No idea.
12:02Why don't you tell us?
12:04Because you don't want to know the things that I've seen.
12:08Trust me.
12:09Ignorance is bliss.
12:12Who do you work for?
12:13The government?
12:18Well, if not the government, then who?
12:21What happened to the real Caldwell?
12:22Dead.
12:23When?
12:25Last night.
12:27I mean, they know.
12:29They know about what?
12:31About the target?
12:33About how you were going to take your shot?
12:35Who's your target, Hans?
12:36I spent three weeks in Afghanistan with fire rats crawling on my privates.
12:42Somehow, I don't think your polite but stern routine is going to get you very far.
12:45You can ask me whatever you want, but let me tell you what's going to happen here.
12:56In just a little while, you will receive a phone call from someone much more important than you.
13:02Then they will tell you that there's been a misunderstanding, and you will be instructed to release me.
13:06You will do so, grudgingly, but you will do so nonetheless, and you will watch me walk out of here, into the night, never to be seen again.
13:18What the hell are we into here?
13:29Hopefully, the feds will have more luck.
13:31Somehow, I doubt it.
13:32At least, now I'm trying to stop whatever he's planning.
13:34Yo, Beckett!
13:36That was the manager of the Carter Regency Hotel.
13:38Says he recognized our Vic.
13:40Guy checked in two days ago and never checked out.
13:46Clear.
13:47Castle check the bureau.
13:48Safe is locked.
13:52Open it.
13:55Whatever he was supposed to do was going down today.
13:57He was scheduled to check out tomorrow.
14:01More IDs.
14:02John Mason.
14:04Paul Chonowski.
14:05Probably fake, too.
14:17Castle.
14:18What is it?
14:22It's a security dossier.
14:24Kofi Amanduul.
14:26Who's Kofi Amanduul?
14:27The minister of banking for the Republic of Luvania.
14:30These were taken in front of the U.N.
14:34This is the target.
14:35This is who they're trying to kill.
14:38I have to call the State Department.
14:39I don't think you have to.
14:42When writing Derek Strom, I became somewhat of an expert on world geography.
14:45You ever heard of the Republic of Luvania?
14:46No.
14:47Yeah, neither have I.
14:47Neither have I.
14:48You know why?
14:50Because it doesn't exist.
14:51I got a feeling Kofi Amanduul doesn't exist either.
14:54Then why would they try to kill someone who doesn't exist?
14:56I think I know.
14:59Well, come on.
15:04Hey, so I just got back from ballistics.
15:06That gun that we found in the victim's car?
15:09Let me guess.
15:10It's not real.
15:11It's a game.
15:13What are you talking about?
15:14This whole thing, the fake IDs, the dossiers, Luvania, the banking minister, it's all part
15:18of a game.
15:19Come on, you're breaking the fourth wall here.
15:22Listen, Hans, or whatever your name is, you see that woman?
15:25She's a real cop.
15:26There's been a real murder, and you are really under arrest.
15:29If you don't start talking to us, you're going to stay in jail.
15:33Real jail.
15:36Are you telling me this is real?
15:38Very.
15:39I'm really in jail?
15:40Yes, you are really in jail.
15:41No, no, see, I, I, I, I thought that this is some part of the experience.
15:52What experience?
15:55Companies called Spy Ventures, they specialize in high-end spications for thrill-seekers.
15:59Spications?
16:00Yeah, you want to be kidnapped and interrogated, they got a package.
16:02You want to be a super spy, they got a package.
16:05Their motto is authenticity.
16:06Right down to the offshore accounts, false identifications, and realistic weaponry.
16:10All right, find out who the hell's in charge.
16:13Let's see if authenticity includes murder.
16:15Are you still hiding from Gina?
16:29She's persistent, I'll give her that.
16:31You can't outrun her forever, darling.
16:33Why don't I just talk to her?
16:34No!
16:34No!
16:35Ha ha!
16:36No, no, no!
16:36All right.
16:38Ah, does the re-emergence of summer hats mean you'll be making an appearance in the Hamptons?
16:45Alas, you're going to have to stagger along without me.
16:47I got the part!
16:49Fantastic!
16:50Ha ha!
16:51I'm so proud!
16:52Thank you, thank you.
16:53It's not the biggest role in the world, but I do love summer stock.
16:57Are you going to be okay?
16:59Why wouldn't I be?
17:00I'm going to be gone through August, Alexis is away, and...
17:03I'll be fine, I'll, uh, I'll finish the book.
17:05Good.
17:06What about Chet?
17:06He'll be all alone.
17:07It's good for him to miss me.
17:08I don't want him to assume that I'm going to always just be around.
17:12Sweet place.
17:16Oh, everyone's here.
17:21You were expecting to be alone?
17:22No, you're just home early.
17:24This is Carter.
17:25He's going to the Princeton program, too.
17:28Is he now?
17:29Lovely to meet you, Carter.
17:31Nice to meet you.
17:33Um, I'll meet you in the kitchen.
17:35Oh.
17:35Yeah.
17:36I friended him on the program page and found out he lived nearby, so we decided to hook
17:40up.
17:42We just thought it'd be nice to go there knowing someone, and our rooms are right across from
17:47each other.
17:52How old would you say that kid is?
17:53Old enough to do all the things you did when you were his age.
17:58That's what I'm afraid of.
18:00Oh, I almost forgot to tell you.
18:01James Patterson called.
18:02He's going to be a little late for the poker game tomorrow.
18:04Probably wants to use the time to write another book.
18:18See you later.
18:18Yeah.
18:19Didn't mean to break up your party.
18:25No, no party.
18:26I was actually waiting for you.
18:27We finally got a hold of someone from Spy Ventures.
18:30The owners are meeting us at their offices.
18:32Oh, yeah, and your ex-wife called.
18:33She said that you've been avoiding her because you're late delivering your manuscript of...
18:37Naked Heat.
18:39That's a catchy title.
18:41When were you going to tell me?
18:42Well, I was waiting for the perfect time.
18:44It just never happened.
18:46She's naked on the cover again, isn't she?
18:47Kind of, yeah.
18:48That's great.
18:49No one's going to make fun of me.
18:50Oh, good.
18:53That's Roger Faraday.
18:54He was on the four-day COVID ops package, culminating in a staged assassination of a UN diplomat.
18:59Stanford, Connecticut.
19:01He lists his wife, Melinda, as his emergency contact.
19:05Detective, we're very sorry about the confusion.
19:07We called as soon as we got your messages.
19:09So the fake IDs, the Cayman Islands?
19:11Yeah, they're all part of the experience.
19:13You have no idea how excited people get when they have to wire their payment to an offshore account.
19:18So your slogan is authenticity.
19:19Is it possible one of your other players took things too far?
19:22Mr. Castle, we take the safety of our guests very seriously.
19:26Our weapons look real, but they're legal, inoperable, and rigged for game play.
19:30So if one of the guests killed Roger, they use their own weapon, not ours.
19:33So the weapons are fake, but the money is real.
19:36What money?
19:37The 5,000 euros we found in the car.
19:41Um, yeah, we do money drops sometimes, but never with real currency.
19:45That's more than he paid for his package.
19:47Are you sure it was real?
19:48Positive.
19:49What was Mr. Faraday doing in the park that night?
19:51Was that a part of a mission?
19:53No, no, no.
19:53The park is too dangerous to work at night.
19:56And his last mission should have ended hours earlier.
19:58What was his last mission?
20:01Faraday?
20:02Yeah, I was his handler.
20:03His last mission that day was the bus locker drop.
20:06I checked it at 10.
20:07It was empty, so we know he picked up the pen.
20:09The one with the recording?
20:10Yeah.
20:11His next activity was the cafe meet yesterday.
20:14So where did he go between 10 and midnight?
20:16And how did he end up in the park with 5,000 euros in his car?
20:19Wasn't his last drop an accomplice mission?
20:21An accomplice mission?
20:22Well, sometimes we have players do tasks together, not knowing if the other was friend or foe.
20:27He was paired with designated 145, French intelligence.
20:30Andrea Fisher.
20:31If she was with him, maybe she knows where he went next.
20:36Recognize her?
20:38May we?
20:39Oh, God, you both must think I'm so stupid the way that I acted in the cafe.
20:44All part of the game.
20:45It's a vacation from yourself.
20:47That's what they say.
20:48I mean, don't get me wrong.
20:49I love my husband and my kids.
20:51But every time we go away, I'm still a mom and a wife.
20:55My husband said, if you can pay for it, you can go.
20:57So it took a lot of coupon clipping, but I got to be a spy.
21:02Our victim.
21:03How well did you know him?
21:05We had a couple of tasks together, but we were always playing roles.
21:10You were with Mr. Faraday when he did the bus station drop?
21:13Yeah.
21:14Yeah, we cracked the code and we went to get our packages.
21:18Do you know where he went next?
21:19To deliver the briefcase.
21:21Briefcase?
21:22What briefcase?
21:22It was in the locker.
21:24I didn't get one, so I assumed it was a bonus mission.
21:27Do you know what was in the briefcase?
21:29I don't know.
21:29You have to ask them.
21:31That was Jason from Spy Ventures.
21:33The only thing that was supposed to be in that locker was a pen set which he put in there himself.
21:37He has no idea where that briefcase came from.
21:39If the money and the briefcase weren't connected to the game, maybe they're connected to each other.
21:43Hey, victim's wife and business partner.
21:46I just ID'd the body.
21:48Can you check the lockers at the bus depot, see if they're covered by cameras?
21:52Yeah, sure.
21:52Please take a seat.
21:56I don't want to sit down.
21:58They said it was safe.
21:59They said it was all pretend.
22:01We can't be sure that your husband's death had anything to do with the game, Mrs. Faraday.
22:05Can you think of a reason someone would want to harm Roger?
22:12Roger was one of those guys everybody instantly liked.
22:14That's why he was so good at his job.
22:16We owned a dealership together just outside Stanford.
22:20Can't sell cars if people don't like you.
22:21Who else knew that he was going to be in the city?
22:27Just Lee and I.
22:31Eight years, detective.
22:33We were married for eight years.
22:36And now he's dead?
22:37You know, it used to be if you were going to have a midlife crisis, you'd just buy a Ferrari, get a new girlfriend, even jump out of a plane.
22:46Shot in the park, money in his car, makes you wonder what else he did to get his jellies.
22:51Now that we know who he really is, I've asked Esposito to look into his financials. Maybe we'll see a red flag somewhere.
22:55Well, speaking of red flags...
22:57Hey, Demings.
22:59Hey, Castle.
23:00So you know that little place in Asbury I was telling you about around the corner from our beach house?
23:06Mm-hmm.
23:07Well, they just had a reservation open up on Friday.
23:09If we leave early enough, we could probably make it.
23:11Yeah, um, will you let me check into it?
23:16Great. I'll see you later.
23:24Beach house. Thought you were working this weekend.
23:27Yeah, I'm sorry, Castle. I should have just told you. I just didn't want things to be awkward between us now that Tom and I are together.
23:36No, I get it. Yeah. No, you want your private life to be private.
23:45Yeah, I just don't... I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable.
23:50No, of course not. No, I mean...
23:52Actually, that makes what I was going to say a little easier.
23:56Um, what would my book do? I was thinking it'd be a good time for us to take a break.
24:02A break?
24:02Yeah, God knows you're going to be tired of me following you around all the time, and I really do need to get some work done.
24:08With everyone gone, I figure why not just stay up in the hand?
24:11I thought this would be our last case.
24:16Hey, so, uh, we...
24:24Everything okay?
24:25Great.
24:26Yeah, fine.
24:26Uh, what'd you guys... find?
24:29Surveillance stills from the bus locker. Your Long Island housewife was right. Roger picked up the briefcase from locker 27B shortly before 10 p.m.
24:37Great.
24:40You didn't want to know who put it in there?
24:41Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah.
24:42Okay.
24:47That's Roger's handler from Spy Ventures.
24:49He said the briefcase wasn't part of the game, so why is he putting it in Roger's locker?
24:55And why did he lie?
24:56Exactly.
25:04What was in the briefcase, Hugo?
25:07We talked to your bosses, Hugo. We know it wasn't part of the game.
25:09And yet you had one of your players pick it up and deliver it for you.
25:13And he just happened to end up dead.
25:16I didn't know.
25:17You didn't know what?
25:18Look, no one was supposed to get hurt.
25:20I just... I needed someone to make the exchange.
25:22What was in the briefcase, Hugo?
25:25Drugs? Money?
25:26IDs.
25:27IDs.
25:29Part of my job is to make the ID kits.
25:31Corporate badges, passports from non-existing countries.
25:34But with Jason's equipment, you can forge counterfeit IDs for real countries, too.
25:37But it's illegal.
25:40But that didn't stop you, did it?
25:43So who did you sell to?
25:44College kids, mostly looking to buy beer.
25:47And then you used game players to make the drops.
25:49So if anybody got busted, they couldn't identify me.
25:51I mean, these are college kids.
25:53They'd roll over on their grandmothers if they got caught.
25:55Well, something tells me that Roger wasn't killed by a group of underaged college kids.
25:59No.
26:00This last job, it was different.
26:01I knew I shouldn't have taken it, but they were paying so much money.
26:03Who?
26:04They're Ukrainians.
26:05They found me on the Internet.
26:07They said they needed passports.
26:09I sent Roger to make the drop and pick up the money.
26:115,000 euros.
26:13He thought it was just another mission.
26:14But something must have gone wrong.
26:15After he made the drop, he called me on the hotline.
26:18Said he was being followed by a dark sedan.
26:20A dark sedan?
26:21And what time was this?
26:2311.30-ish.
26:24Look, playing the game, it makes you paranoid.
26:26So I just, I figured it was just his imagination.
26:28So I gave him the standard line about evasive maneuvers.
26:31I didn't really think he was being followed.
26:35But he was.
26:38He called again close to midnight and said, his cover had been blown.
26:42I thought he was messing with me, so I shined him on.
26:46Shined him on and know he's dead.
26:49He must have done something wrong.
26:50He must have messed up the passports.
26:52He was just, they came after him and they killed him.
26:54The briefcase, where did he deliver it to?
26:59Hugo, the Ukrainians.
27:01I need an address now.
27:05Clear! Clear!
27:09Turn around!
27:11Get up there now!
27:12Stay there! Stay there!
27:21Kids.
27:22Yep, they're Ukrainians, but they're students.
27:31They used to being able to drink back home,
27:32but they needed fake IDs to buy booze here.
27:34They got Hugo's information from another kid in the summer program.
27:37Summer program?
27:38Yeah, they're part of the summer exchange program at Hudson University.
27:41Why?
27:41No reason.
27:42Anyway, none of them on a dark sedan.
27:44As soon as how they all went out partying the moment Roger dropped off the IDs,
27:47it's doubtful that any of them are our killer.
27:48You actually think he's being followed?
27:57Well, he calls at 1130,
27:59and then just before he's shot, his car is damaged.
28:03He runs on foot into the park.
28:05Sounds to me like he was running away.
28:07But from whom?
28:08Well, as much as I'd like to help you run down every dark sedan in the city,
28:12I have a poker game to host.
28:14See you in the morning.
28:15See ya.
28:21So,
28:23Castle's last case, huh?
28:25Mm-hmm.
28:26Ryan and I thought we'd do a little going away party.
28:28Yeah, well, it's not like he's leaving forever.
28:32You sure about that?
28:35Why do you think he's been following you around all this time?
28:37What, research?
28:38The guy's done enough research to write 50 books.
28:43Look,
28:44whatever the reason is,
28:46I'm pretty sure it doesn't include watching you be with another guy.
28:56A murder in the middle of a spy game
28:58where nobody knows what's going on?
29:00I like that.
29:02Ukrainians are a nice twist.
29:04So, we've explained the money, the gadgets, and the briefcase.
29:07The only thing we can't explain,
29:09why was he killed?
29:10Maybe that's because you're looking in the wrong place.
29:13All right, Patterson, where would you look?
29:15If I was writing this,
29:16the murder would have nothing to do with the spy game,
29:19except that they gave the killer an opportunity to act.
29:22Knowing that the trappings of the game would cover his tracks.
29:25Which is pretty much what's happened.
29:26Look, Rick,
29:27as much trouble as we go to with these novels,
29:29there's only three reasons to commit a murder.
29:31Love, money, and to cover up a crime.
29:34Kendall's right.
29:35I'd spend more time looking at your victim
29:37and less time looking at the game.
29:38Personally, I'd spend more time writing
29:40and less time hanging out with your cop friend.
29:42I mean, really, Ricky,
29:44just one book a year?
29:46Kind of thin, Rick.
29:49She seems like more of a distraction than a muse.
29:55No, you're right.
29:56I think I've gotten everything I can get out of that relationship anyway.
30:01Hey, you ready?
30:25Yeah, yeah.
30:29Hey.
30:53Hey.
30:54Hey, uh, I was just thinking.
31:02Yeah.
31:05I've been thinking.
31:08Maybe we're looking in the wrong place.
31:11Maybe the murder has nothing to do with the game.
31:13Maybe it just afforded the killer an opportunity to act.
31:18That's so funny, because I was thinking the same thing when I woke up this morning,
31:23that maybe we got so caught up in the game that we stopped looking at what really mattered.
31:28The victim.
31:30Exactly. So check this out.
31:33His financials came back clean, but then we did a search on his business partner, Lee Copley,
31:38and it turns out that he filed for bankruptcy two months ago, overextended himself in real estate.
31:43Let me guess, if Roger dies, his half of the business goes to Copley.
31:47Over half a million dollars worth.
31:49His wife did say the only two people who knew Roger was in the city were her and Copley.
31:53And guess what Copley drives?
31:56A dark sedan.
31:57Roger was my friend. We grew up together. Why would I kill him?
32:00I can give you half a million reasons why.
32:02What, because I'm having financial problems? Because we just happened to own a business together?
32:06Greed, Mr. Copley. It's the purest motive there is.
32:09This is ridiculous.
32:10Where were you the night that Roger Faraday was murdered?
32:12I was home in bed.
32:14Really, then do you care to explain these?
32:15These are photos of you leaving your apartment garage at 8 o'clock the night that he was murdered.
32:20And these are photos of you returning the following morning at 7 a.m.
32:24Kind of blows a hole in your whole home in bed thing.
32:27You lied to me, Mr. Copley. Do you care to revise your statement?
32:318 p.m. That's plenty of time to drive to the city from Stamford.
32:35What'd you do, Lee? Wait for him at the hotel? Follow him till he was alone?
32:38No, I didn't.
32:39And then you used the game as cover.
32:41No. I swear I didn't do it.
32:43Right. You were at home in bed.
32:45I wasn't at home, but I was in bed.
32:52With his wife.
32:55I'm sorry, what?
32:57I was in bed with Roger's wife.
33:05Let me get this straight.
33:06Your alibi for killing your friend is you were doing it as his wife.
33:14Yeah.
33:17Wow.
33:18What?
33:19You want me to say I'm sorry?
33:21You want me to be embarrassed?
33:22I'm not.
33:23Do you know how long it had been since Roger and I made love?
33:26All he cared about was work and his extreme vacations.
33:30So, yeah, I was seeing Lee.
33:32Yeah, I was with him that night.
33:34Well, if things were that bad, why not just get a divorce?
33:36Are you serious?
33:38My house is too nice.
33:42I can see why Roger needed a little extra fantasy in his life.
33:45I talked to the wife's neighbors.
33:47A few of them remember Lee's car outside the house that night.
33:49That doesn't mean anything.
33:50Guy runs an auto dealership. Could just switch cars.
33:53True, except it was a warm night.
33:54Warm enough to leave the windows open.
33:56Oh, no.
33:56Oh, yes.
33:57The next-door neighbor distinctly remembers hearing the sounds of loud, passionate lovemaking
34:01coming from the open bedroom window.
34:03Kept him up till well past midnight.
34:04I don't buy it.
34:06They both had motive.
34:07They were having an affair.
34:09They knew exactly where he was.
34:10Just because they had an alibi does not mean they didn't do it.
34:12Do you think they hired someone?
34:14It had all the hallmarks of a professional hit.
34:16Well, it couldn't have been Lee unless he asked the bankruptcy court for permission to hire a hitman,
34:20and I don't think that's likely.
34:21And the only unusual charge in the Faraday's account was the 10 grand that Roger wired to Spy Ventures account in the Cayman Islands.
34:2810 grand?
34:29Yeah, why?
34:29Because he only should have paid half that much.
34:31Do you remember what the woman at Spy Ventures said about the money we found on the card?
34:34Yeah, that 5,000 euros was more than what he paid for his entire spication.
34:38His bank statement indicates he transferred two payments of 5 grand each to the game for a total of 10,000.
34:47Payments were made at the same time, almost like he paid twice.
34:50If these numbers are correct, he did pay twice.
34:52Once for him, once for another player.
34:54Another player?
34:55Who was the other player?
34:57Andrea Fisher.
34:59Our Long Island housewife?
35:00She said she never met Roger until they were teamed up for the game.
35:03But if they never met, why did he pay for her?
35:08There must be some mistake.
35:20We checked with the bank, Mrs. Fisher.
35:22There is no mistake.
35:24You never paid Spy Ventures.
35:26But Roger did.
35:29The coupon clipping was a nice touch, though.
35:31I assume that was for your husband's benefit?
35:32What was the nature of your relationship with Roger Faraday?
35:38We were, um, friends.
35:43When did the two of you first meet?
35:49Last year.
35:50I was, uh, taking my daughter, Shelby, into the city for dance classes.
35:56After I dropped her off, I'd go to the museum.
36:00Every week I'd see him standing in front of Monet's water lilies.
36:04You know, for an hour, it wasn't, Mommy, can you do this?
36:07Or, Honey, can you do that?
36:09You know, I was me.
36:11Oh, God.
36:11After a few weeks, the museum turned into a hotel, and then Shelby's dance classes ended.
36:18You had no excuse to go into the city anymore.
36:20When we first met, we pretended to be spies, exchanging secrets at the museum.
36:28Roger thought, why not have a real-life spy adventure?
36:31We could have one last time together.
36:35Hey, hon, we're back.
36:37Oh, my God, please don't tell my husband.
36:40We don't have to, Mrs. Fisher.
36:42He already knows.
36:43What's going on?
36:50Mr. Fisher, I'm Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD.
36:54What's this about?
36:55You own a black 2009 four-door sedan?
36:58Yeah.
36:59Why?
36:59Where is it?
37:00It's in the shop.
37:02I hit a pole while I was backing out of the supermarket.
37:05You're a much better shot than you are a liar.
37:08The state of New York lists you as a registered gun owner.
37:11Glock 45.
37:12Oh, my God.
37:14Oh, my God.
37:15What did you do to him?
37:24What he deserved.
37:27Oh, my God.
37:33So Roger was right about being followed that night.
37:35Well, when the husband got onto the affair,
37:37he did a little spy game of his own,
37:40tracked down and killed his wife's lover.
37:43Two affairs, a loveless marriage.
37:46It's sad a man had to die because all the people involved
37:48were too scared to say what they really felt.
37:53Yes, it is sad.
37:56Here.
37:58I'll make it to you and you've got a deal.
37:59All right.
38:01Hey, I've got to run.
38:02I've got to drive Alexis to Princeton,
38:03but I will be back in time for that little surprise party
38:06where the boys have thrown and performed me.
38:07What?
38:07What?
38:10Nothing.
38:13Okay.
38:14I'll see you.
38:14Mm-hmm.
38:15Is there anything you're not bringing?
38:36You.
38:38Are you sure you're going to be okay?
38:39This is the first time you've ever been alone this long.
38:41I'm supposed to be saying that to you,
38:43and besides, I might not be alone for very long.
38:46You invited someone?
38:47She said no at first,
38:48but I got a feeling she'll come around.
38:50Is there anyone I know?
38:52I don't kiss and tell.
38:54Well, looks like I'm not the only one
38:55who's getting lucky this summer.
38:57Kidding.
38:58Kidding.
38:59I'm just, I'm just kidding.
39:00It's not funny.
39:02It's so not funny.
39:06It's not just this weekend we're talking about, is it?
39:10No.
39:11No.
39:16Is it something I said, Kate?
39:18Is it something I did?
39:20No.
39:21You're great.
39:23You're really great, and I really like you.
39:27It's just I don't think that this is what I'm looking for right now.
39:33What is it you're looking for, Kate?
39:42It was very emotional.
39:44Yeah, there were a lot of tears.
39:46Um, Alexis was fine, by the way.
39:48I gotta say, Castle, we're gonna miss you around here.
40:00Yeah, I'm gonna miss you, too.
40:06Still leaving the coffee machine, though, right?
40:08Can't have your stuff for my absence, huh?
40:09We could really use one of those down in the morgue.
40:11With Castle gone, I just hope our clearance rate doesn't drop.
40:13Oh, look who's off-duty.
40:20Yeah, well, Castle, I'm not all work.
40:22Don't get into a drinking contest with her.
40:24She can take you.
40:26Oh, I don't need to drink to take him.
40:28Oh, what's gotten into you?
40:30Castle, do you have a second?
40:32Of course, yeah.
40:32What's up?
40:42Look, I know that I'm not the easiest person to get to know.
40:47And I don't always let on what's on my mind.
40:50But this past year of working with you,
40:54I've had a really good time.
40:59Yeah, me too.
41:03So, I'm just gonna say this, and...
41:05Richard?
41:06You ready?
41:07Hey, Gina.
41:08Becky, do you remember Gina?
41:10Max White.
41:10And publisher.
41:12Yes.
41:12Yeah, we spoke the other day.
41:13Looks like you finally tracked him down.
41:15Oh, yeah.
41:16He's such a little boy sometimes.
41:18I mean, I don't know why.
41:19It's not like I bite much.
41:23But we better get going.
41:24We're gonna be stuck in traffic all night.
41:25Going?
41:26To the Hamptons.
41:27For the weekend?
41:28No, for the summer, actually.
41:30So I can stay on top of him while he finishes his book.
41:35I'm sorry.
41:36I didn't think the two of you got along.
41:38We didn't.
41:39But then last night on the phone, we started talking.
41:43We ended up talking for hours.
41:44Yeah.
41:46Just like old times.
41:47Yeah.
41:52So, I'm sorry.
41:54You were telling me something.
41:56Yeah, I wanted to say, have a great summer.
