00:00Back up your troubles and roll, kick back and smile, smile, smile.
00:13Just think of all the items we'll have and smile, yeah, that's the style.
00:19But to be so boring, it never was but wild.
00:24So back up your troubles and roll, kick back and smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile.
00:34A stabbing, Rick? Isn't that a little pedestrian for you?
00:37Usually when you call me it's to ask what happens if you put a head in a microwave.
00:41Well, this one's a little less made up.
00:43The victim is the mother of that detective I've been following around.
00:47Ah.
00:49The case has been called ten years.
00:51I just figured since you're the best forensic pathologist in the city, maybe you could catch something they missed.
00:56You know reality isn't fiction, right?
00:58The odds of finding anyone's killer after ten years...
01:01Astronomical.
01:01I know, but I'd appreciate it if you took a look.
01:05I'll do what I can.
01:07Just don't go making any promises I can't keep.
01:10Of course not.
01:15Thanks again.
01:16Get back to you as soon as I can.
01:17I appreciate it.
01:18What was Dr. Death doing here?
01:23Just a little consulting.
01:24Coming to me like you were looking into Detective Beckett's mother's murder.
01:28Must you always eavesdrop?
01:30Why wasn't eavesdropping having to walk by your office door?
01:33I live here too, you know.
01:34Yes.
01:35I'm aware.
01:36So does she know you're poking into her mother's case?
01:40What's the sense of telling her until I find something new?
01:44Well, you ever start to think you're invading her privacy?
01:47I'm not poking through her underwear drawer.
01:49I'm investigating her mother's murder.
01:51You are digging up her past, darling, without her permission.
01:54Now you either tell her or leave it alone.
01:57Oh my gosh, Dad!
01:58Dad, Dad, Dad!
01:59What is it?
01:59Dad, he asked me!
02:02Dad, he asked me!
02:04Who asked you?
02:05Owen, but I told him I had to ask you, but you'll say yes, right?
02:07Because I told him yes, but you have to say yes, so say yes.
02:09Yes?
02:10Yes!
02:11Yes!
02:13What am I saying yes to?
02:14The junior-senior prom.
02:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
02:17You are not a junior nor a senior.
02:19True, but Owen's a junior.
02:22Owen, I thought you said he was only 15.
02:23Yeah, he skipped a grade, but he's so cute.
02:25Dad, please, please, please.
02:29If I say yes, will you promise to stay out past your bedtime, have a good time?
02:35Yes!
02:35Not, not too good a time.
02:37Dad, all we've done is hold hands.
02:38Ew, okay, please, don't need details, just...
02:41So I can go.
02:43Of course you can go.
02:46Oh, I'm going to need a dress.
02:48Oh, God.
02:48A beautiful dress, a dress, a dress, a dress!
02:51Thanks, Dad!
02:52So do you like this, Owen?
02:55I don't know, I haven't met him.
02:56You are letting her go out with someone that you've never met?
03:00What kind of a father are you?
03:07I'm not running a background check on your daughter's date.
03:10Oh, come on.
03:11She says he's quiet, he keeps to himself, and he lives with his parents.
03:14Tell me that doesn't sound like a serial killer to you.
03:16Who's a serial killer?
03:17Castle's daughter, Alexis, got invited to prom.
03:19It's her first real date.
03:21And you're worried he's a serial killer?
03:22You should be more worried he's a teenage boy.
03:24Oh, he's only 15.
03:26You've been satellite TV and the internet.
03:27Yeah, 15's the new 25.
03:29Dude's right.
03:30I was 15 once.
03:31Still am.
03:32If I had a daughter her age, I'd never let her out of the house.
03:35Thanks, guys.
03:36Mm-hmm.
03:36Car was towed in a few hours ago.
03:38Parking violations.
03:39When the attendant went to look for the VIN number, found the Vic.
03:42Slumped over with a bag on his head.
03:43Six parking tickets and a tow sticker, and no one bothers to look inside.
03:50Tended windows, sunshade on the windshield.
03:52You think someone would try to at least look inside?
03:54Yeah, welcome to New York.
03:57You got an ID?
03:58Yeah, Dr. Joshua Leeds, 37.
04:01According to the business cards in his wallet, he's a plastic surgeon.
04:05Cars also registered him as well.
04:07Any money in the wallet?
04:08Yeah, a couple hundred bucks.
04:10Well, I guess we can rule out robbery.
04:13A plastic bag and duct tape.
04:15Not a very efficient way to go somewhere.
04:17No, but it's very personal.
04:20All right, find a notify next to Ken.
04:22Let's see how long he's been missing.
04:24From the state of decay, I'd say about a week.
04:26That matches the date on the first parking ticket.
04:29Preliminary cause of death indicates asphyxiation, but I'll run toxicology just in case.
04:33The bag's pretty thin.
04:35Why wouldn't he just rip it off?
04:36He must have been restrained.
04:39That's only half the story.
04:41His fingernails were removed, and each finger presents signs of having been broken pre-mortem.
04:47Broken?
04:48If I had to guess, I'd say our doctor was tortured before he was killed.
04:51This fiancee, Courtney Morantz.
05:10She reported missing a week ago.
05:12CSU have any luck with the car?
05:14Running prints, testing fibers.
05:15We should have results by tomorrow.
05:16All right, thanks.
05:17Ms. Morantz, I'm Kate Beckett.
05:25I'm the detective working on your fiancee's case.
05:27I'm very sorry about your loss.
05:29I was wondering if I could take a moment of your time.
05:32I knew it.
05:34When he didn't come home, I just felt it.
05:37How long were you engaged?
05:39Almost a year.
05:40Remember we were going to get married next month at the Gardens?
05:45Would they want money?
05:46It doesn't appear to be a robbery.
05:50Then why?
05:51Was Josh involved in anything that might have brought him into contact with criminal elements?
05:55No.
05:56No, not my Josh.
05:58That's just not who he was.
05:59On the day he disappeared, did you notice anything different about him?
06:02Uh, different?
06:03Did he seem worried or scared or distracted?
06:07He was fine.
06:08I mean, we were going to meet because we were going to go taste some cakes.
06:14When he didn't show, I called the office and they said he'd left, so I called his cell phone, but he didn't pick up.
06:20If his office was in Midtown, do you have any idea why his car would be found on 133rd Street?
06:27133rd Street?
06:28He'd never go that far north.
06:29He always took the Midtown Tunnel to the LIE, and if he was going to be late, he'd call.
06:36He'd always call.
06:38He'd always let me know.
06:44Anything on the canvas?
06:45Nada.
06:46Locals only remember seeing the car after the tickets.
06:49No security cameras on the street.
06:51Fiance's story checks out.
06:52Cake shop confirmed she was there waiting.
06:54Heading to meet his fiance at a cake shop in Great Neck, how do you wind up dead on a street in Harlem?
06:58Well, maybe he had secrets even his fiance didn't know about.
07:01Like, maybe he secretly made a living out of using his surgeon's skills to harvest organs off of tourists for the black market organ trade.
07:08Whoa.
07:09That was a good one.
07:09I'm writing that down.
07:11So instead of making up stories, we are going to establish a timeline.
07:16When did he get his first ticket?
07:18Last Wednesday morning.
07:18Okay, so you guys go to the Midtown garage where he kept his car, and we'll hit his office.
07:22Cool.
07:22Okay.
07:25Hey, can I ask you something?
07:28Since when do you ask permission to ask questions?
07:30What about your mother's case?
07:34Have you ever thought about reopening it?
07:37What are you doing?
07:41Nothing.
07:42I just thought if we worked together.
07:43No.
07:45I have resources.
07:47Castle, you touch my mom's case, and you and I are done.
07:52Do you understand?
07:55Okay.
07:55Why don't you want to investigate it?
08:08Same reason a recovering alcoholic doesn't drink.
08:13You don't think I haven't been down there?
08:14You don't think I haven't memorized every line in that file?
08:18My first three years on the force, every off-duty moment was spent looking for something someone missed.
08:25It took me a year of therapy to realize if I didn't let it go, it was going to destroy me, and so I let it go.
08:43Sorry.
08:44I didn't know.
08:46Yeah, well, now you do.
08:55Well, this must be the place.
09:05What is it with men and boobs, anyway?
09:08Biological.
09:09We can't help it.
09:10But doesn't it bother you that they're so obviously not real?
09:14Santa's not real.
09:15We still love opening his presents.
09:16It wasn't like him to disappear.
09:20I think that deep down we all knew that something was wrong.
09:25Did he seem agitated at all?
09:26No, I mean, it was pretty much business as usual.
09:29Except for the wedding.
09:30We were trying to clear a schedule for the honeymoon.
09:32When was the last time you saw him?
09:34Last Tuesday.
09:35He was on his way to meet his fiancée.
09:37What time did he leave the office?
09:39Um...
09:39Around 5.30.
09:40Yeah.
09:41When I called at 6, he was fine.
09:43He said he was in traffic at the tunnel.
09:45He'd left Manhattan then.
09:47Why would he come back?
09:50Did Dr. Leeds have any enemies?
09:52Anyone that he had operated on who had had complications or a bad experience?
09:56None of his patients had complications.
09:59That doesn't mean that they were always happy.
10:02Cosmetic surgery is about self-image.
10:04For some people, it changes their lives.
10:06For others, nothing's ever enough.
10:08Did any of his patients ever threaten him?
10:11One.
10:12J.C. Goldberg.
10:14She was a patient of Dr. Leeds until about three months ago.
10:16What happened?
10:17She wanted a facelift.
10:19So?
10:20So sure he had three.
10:22Dr. Leeds refused to perform the operation.
10:24So what'd she do?
10:25She sued him.
10:27He was thrown out of court, of course.
10:29That's when the threat started.
10:31At the very least, she should be arrested for violating the laws of nature.
10:41Check this out.
10:42Tracy Goldberg's husband, Jack, had her committed to Bellevue a month ago for psychiatric treatment for her little obsession.
10:48Guess who testified in support of her commitment?
10:51Dr. Joshua Leeds.
10:52Mm-hmm.
10:53Mandatory one-month treatment program she was released last week.
10:55Three days before our doctor went missing.
10:57Mentally unstable plastic surgery, chick.
11:00That is way better than harvesting organs.
11:01Get her in here.
11:04Wow.
11:05Look at her.
11:09How can anyone do that to themselves?
11:11Right?
11:12It's like she escaped from the island of Dr. Moreau.
11:14Come on, guys.
11:15She's not an animal.
11:16She's a human being.
11:17Yeah, I know, but...
11:19Wait, are you being sincere, according to the elephant man?
11:22Oh, saucy.
11:23Mrs. Goldberg, I'm Detective Beckett.
11:28This is Richard Castle, the consultant at the department.
11:31What's this all about, Detective?
11:32Mrs. Goldberg, are you familiar with a plastic surgeon named Dr. Joshua Leeds?
11:37Yes.
11:38You recently sued him for malpractice.
11:40That's correct.
11:41For refusing to perform elective cosmetic surgery, specifically a facelift, facial implants, and liposuction.
11:47I can assure you, each procedure was medically necessary.
11:51Dr. Leeds didn't seem to think so.
11:53Well, that arrogant bastard thought he could play God.
11:55Well, if you wanted the surgery so badly, why don't you just see another lips?
12:00Doc, doctor.
12:02Because I wanted the best.
12:04Who is he to deny me the best?
12:06So you threatened to ruin him.
12:08Why does he get to tell me what I can and cannot do?
12:11Why does he get to decide what I look like?
12:14Is that why you killed him?
12:16What?
12:16Dr. Leeds was murdered last week.
12:19Murdered?
12:19A couple of days after you were released from the psychiatric treatment facility that Leeds helped commit you to.
12:25That's motive and opportunity, counselor.
12:27I said I'd ruin him, not kill him. Big difference.
12:30Then I suppose you won't mind telling me where you were last Tuesday night.
12:37So, where was she?
12:39She was in the hospital.
12:41Getting more surgery?
12:42Yep.
12:44What's she got left operating on?
12:46Oh, no.
12:48Oh, yes.
12:49Seriously?
12:49What could they possibly do down there?
12:51Well, apparently quite a lot.
12:54Whew.
12:55But if Leeds had a reputation of turning people away, maybe there's someone else out there pissed off.
12:58Yeah, Esposito and Ryan already looking through the patient list, but the CSU came back clean from the car.
13:03It would be almost impossible for a run-of-the-mill revenge murderer to be that invisible.
13:07You're thinking it's professional.
13:08I don't know.
13:09Mrs. Goldberg had enough money to pay someone to do it, and her surgery is a pretty convenient alibi.
13:14But torture and suffocation, that doesn't seem like the work of a disgruntled trophy wife turning 50.
13:19Surgeon with broken fingers?
13:21That's someone sending a message.
13:22What do you think?
13:32You look beautiful.
13:34Dad, you say that about every dress.
13:36Don't you think this makes my skin look pasty?
13:38Sweetheart, I want you to know, no matter how you think you look, you are perfect exactly the way you are.
13:44You're not helping.
13:46Oh, God, no. Hideous.
13:49Here, try this.
13:51All right. Good color for you.
13:55What are you doing?
13:57What?
13:58You look hideous. Are you trying to give her body image issues?
14:01Oh, newsflash, she already has body image issues.
14:04It's an intrinsic part of being a woman.
14:05Everyone in the world has some part of herself that she absolutely hates.
14:09Her hands are too small, her feet are too big, her hair's too straight, too curly, her ears stick out, her, oh, God, her butt's too flat, her nose is too big.
14:19And, you know, nothing you can say will change how we feel.
14:23What men don't understand is the right clothes, the right shoes, the right makeup, just, it hides the flaws we think we have.
14:31They make us look beautiful to ourselves.
14:34That's what makes us look beautiful to others.
14:39Used to be.
14:41All she needed to feel beautiful was a pink tutu and a plastic tiara.
14:45We spend our whole lives trying to feel that way again.
14:51Well...
14:52What do you think?
15:01I think it's you.
15:08Staff just went through all the files, no other red flags.
15:11Any dark secrets in here?
15:12Yeah.
15:13Dr. Leeds had a weakness.
15:15Energy bars.
15:16I volunteered at Doctors International, did pro bono work, this guy's a boy scout, hell, he didn't even have any porn on his computer.
15:23That's weird.
15:23I know.
15:24You know what he had in his locked desk drawer?
15:25Fit the scotch?
15:26Checkbook.
15:27The guy locked up his checkbook.
15:29What about these folders?
15:30Wedding stuff.
15:31Tux deposits.
15:32Catering invoices.
15:33Maybe some angry couple killed him for their wedding venue.
15:34It's as good a theory as any.
15:36Hey.
15:37These aren't all wedding files.
15:38It's odd.
15:39All the patient information is blacked out.
15:40Maybe Dr. Leeds has a secret after all.
15:45It's his handwriting but I've never seen this file before.
15:49I've never seen this file before.
15:54Maybe Dr. Leeds has a secret after all.
15:59It's his handwriting but I've never seen this file before.
16:05Can you identify that patient?
16:06Not from his notes.
16:07Just that it was a male, 55 years old.
16:08How about this kind of procedure?
16:09This is impossible.
16:10I'm his primary nurse.
16:11I run his surgical team.
16:12He never operates without me.
16:13Apparently he did.
16:14Mario.
16:15Check on Dr. Leeds' calendar.
16:16What do you have for March 18th?
16:18He was supposed to be down at Mercy attending the panel on research.
16:21He was supposed to be down at Mercy attending the panel on research.
16:25He was supposed to be down at Mercy attending the panel on research.
16:34He was supposed to be attending the panel on reconstructive surgery.
16:39Why would he lie?
16:41Why would he operate without me?
16:43According to the hospital, the procedure lasted nine hours.
16:46Neither the assisting nor the anesthesiologist were with the hospital.
16:49Both were brought in by Dr. Leeds.
16:51Neither of his regulars.
16:53A nine hour mystery operation he didn't want his own people to know about.
16:56The hospital must have had some record of the patient.
16:58Get this.
16:59The hospital can't find the file.
17:01It's like it never happened.
17:02Who did you talk to?
17:03Patient information.
17:04Well, that was your first mistake.
17:06You want to find someone at a hospital who had a treatment there.
17:09There's only one department to go to where nothing ever falls through the cracks.
17:14Billing.
17:15Someone had to pay for it, right?
17:27No, I appreciate it.
17:30Well, it looks like our mystery patient's hospital bills were paid promptly and in full.
17:34By whom?
17:35Wire transfer.
17:36Esposito.
17:37Yeah?
17:38See what you can find on this account number.
17:39All right.
17:40So, did Alexis find a dress yet?
17:41Yeah.
17:42Yeah.
17:43Cute one, too.
17:44Boy.
17:45I can't believe my little girl's going to prom.
17:48My only comfort now is the long-standing tradition of torturing a boyfriend.
17:52What do you mean?
17:53You know, the time-honored hazing that goes on in those few moments we share where he and
17:58I are alone just before my daughter descends the stairs.
18:01I remember the terror of meeting my date's old man.
18:03What'd he do?
18:04Checked my wallet for condoms.
18:06Showed me his gun collection.
18:07My hands were shaking so bad I could barely put on the corsage.
18:10What'd your dad do?
18:12I...
18:13I don't know.
18:14I was in my room.
18:16How was your date when you finally came out?
18:18You know, actually, now that you mention it, he looked terrified.
18:22And this whole time I thought he was scared of me.
18:24Nope.
18:25And now it's my turn.
18:27What are you planning?
18:28Something befitting the name of Castle.
18:31Yo.
18:32You're never gonna believe this.
18:34What'd you find?
18:35That account the money was wired from belongs to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
18:39Whatever the procedure was, Uncle Sam paid for it.
18:42I guess we can rule out boob job.
18:43Why would the DOJ pay for a cosmetic procedure?
18:46There's only one reason.
18:48To change someone's identity.
18:50So you think the guy was in witness protection?
18:52If Dr. Leeds was tortured, I think that our killer was trying to find this guy.
18:55We better find him first.
18:56How do you find someone who's in witness protection?
18:59We asked the people who are protecting him.
19:02Ask Hard Candy?
19:03Good luck.
19:04Hard...
19:05Hard Candy?
19:06Assistant U.S. Attorney Candace Robinson.
19:08She makes mobsters cry.
19:10I'm sorry, detective, but you must know that information on a protected witness is confidential.
19:15Whether or not you have proof that we employed Dr. Leeds, or whether or not you have proof that an operation took place is irrelevant.
19:21Not to my victim, it's not.
19:25Not to his family, and certainly not to his fiancee.
19:28They were planning a life together that they will never have.
19:32Look, I am not unsympathetic to your situation, but we all have our jobs to do.
19:37Ms. Robinson, doesn't it matter to you that the man that you employed was killed, and whoever murdered him might be looking for your witness?
19:45Detective, you are asking me to expose a witness during an ongoing federal investigation, and I am telling you that is not going to happen.
19:54So what now?
19:55This witness of theirs is key. Without knowing who he is or who's after him, there's no way of getting to the next step.
20:01There's another way to figure out who that witness is.
20:03Yeah? How?
20:04Candace Robinson's office deals almost exclusively with organized crime.
20:07So?
20:08So what if we ask the other son?
20:10You want to ask the mob who the witness is?
20:12Clearly they already know who he is if they're trying to kill him.
20:15Like you said, he's got to be a significant witness in a pretty big case.
20:17So what do we do, hop in the car, drive down the Bada Bing?
20:20I know a guy. He owes me a favor.
20:22You know a guy?
20:24What is this, a mammoth play?
20:25From the early days of Derek Storm.
20:27He's a coppo with one of the families. He's actually pretty nice.
20:30For a criminal?
20:31I'm just saying maybe he knows something.
20:33Maybe he can tell us something the feds won't.
20:36I keep forgetting he reads plays.
20:42I'm a friend.
20:43I'm a friend.
20:44Sal.
20:45Take him out back.
20:46Kill him.
20:47Sal?
20:48What?
20:49Sal?
20:50It's not him.
20:51It's me, buddy.
20:52Vito!
20:53Wait!
20:54Vito!
20:55Wait!
20:56Hold up!
20:57I was just messing with him.
20:58Not funny, Sal.
20:59No, you're right.
21:00No, it wasn't funny.
21:01It was friggin' hilarious.
21:02Richard friggin' Castle.
21:03Master of the macabre.
21:04What brings you back?
21:05I'm a friend.
21:06I'm a friend.
21:07Sal.
21:08I'm a friend.
21:09Sal.
21:10Take him out back.
21:11Kill him.
21:12Sal!
21:13What?
21:14Sal!
21:15It's not him.
21:16It's me, buddy.
21:17Vito!
21:18Vito!
21:19Wait!
21:20Vito!
21:21Wait!
21:22Hold up!
21:23I was just messing with him.
21:24King Castle.
21:25Master of the macabre.
21:27What brings you down off your cloud of money?
21:36The guy you're talking about, he worked for the Spillano family.
21:39Jimmy the Rat Moran.
21:41He was an underboss.
21:42He was a favorite of the old man's, but he got squeezed out by Junior when the old man bit it.
21:47Rumor has it that he turned states a few months ago, and the Spillanos are running scared.
21:53Apparently Moran's got it all.
21:55Bills are laden, calendars, ledgers, the whole shooting match.
21:58Enough to take down all the top guys.
22:00Well, no wonder he wanted to change his face.
22:02Hey, if they got to the surgeon, it's only a matter of time before they get to him.
22:06When I wrote Storm Warning...
22:08Oh, I love that book.
22:10You told me that certain mob hitmen have signature styles or weapons.
22:15That's right.
22:16Okay, well this killer used a plastic bag with duct tape to suffocate his victim.
22:20Does that sound like anyone you know?
22:22You'd have to ask the Spillanos about that one.
22:24Yeah, I don't think they'd like that.
22:26Probably not.
22:27I bet you I know somebody else who might know.
22:30Who?
22:31Jimmy the Rat.
22:35Jimmy the Rat Moran, AKA Jimmy Pretty.
22:38Been linked to gambling, loan sharking, and extortion schemes.
22:41You know, you want a guy to be loyal, you probably should have nicknamed him the Rat.
22:45Okay, so let's start off by digging up all known associates of the Spillano family.
22:49Yeah, sure.
22:50And while we're at it, we'll just bang our heads against a brick wall.
22:52You know, just for fun.
22:54Professional hits are the hardest to close.
22:56Because of the anonymous nature of the murders, the usual rules like motive and relationship to victim don't apply.
23:01We need to talk to Moran.
23:03Gotta see what he knows.
23:04Yeah.
23:07What makes you think your friend Hard Candy's gonna cooperate with you now?
23:10You have your sources, I have mine.
23:12Oh, it's not your ex-boyfriend, is it?
23:14Mr. FBI, tall, brooding, and judgmental?
23:17Why, yes, in fact, it is.
23:18Is that a problem?
23:19No, not for me.
23:20But then again, I'm not the one he's trying to get back together with.
23:34Well, this is a nice surprise.
23:35You know, hopefully this is a nice surprise as well.
23:40Sprinkles.
23:41Am I really that predictable?
23:43Well, maybe I just know you too well.
23:45I mean, we did date once.
23:47Yeah.
23:48What do you need?
23:49I want to talk to Jimmy Moran.
23:50Jimmy Moran the mobster?
23:51Yeah.
23:52Oh, no.
23:53Thanks.
23:54I don't eat sprinkles anymore.
23:55Right.
23:56It's okay.
23:57Is this the part where you asked me to bend the rules to help you on your case?
24:02Am I really that predictable?
24:04Maybe I just know you too well.
24:09What do you need?
24:11I want to talk to Jimmy Moran.
24:14Jimmy Moran the mobster?
24:16Yeah.
24:17What makes you think I can help with that?
24:20The FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office have them in witness protection.
24:24And you know this how?
24:26Word on the street.
24:27Look, even if it's true, I don't work organized crime cases.
24:34Oh, come on, Will.
24:35You and I both know how this works.
24:36You reach out to the agent in charge, he talks to the AUSA running the case, and then I get
24:42to talk to Jimmy Moran.
24:44And I do this for you.
24:45Why?
24:46All right, let me put this another way.
24:48The Spolanos know that Jimmy is cooperating with the government.
24:52We know that they want him dead because they murdered the surgeon you feds hired to change his face.
24:57You guys put that doctor in harm's way, so you're doing it for him, not for me.
25:09This is it.
25:10Don't be nervous.
25:12Dad!
25:13No.
25:14No severed heads.
25:15That's...
25:16I...
25:17It's time honored!
25:18No!
25:19Richard, really...
25:20Take it off.
25:21Come on.
25:22Fine.
25:23Hi.
25:24Hi.
25:25You look really nice.
25:28Thanks, you too.
25:29I'll see you next time.
25:30Good.
25:31Good.
25:32Good.
25:33Good.
25:34Good.
25:35Good.
25:36Good.
25:37Good.
25:38Good.
25:39Good.
25:40Good.
25:41Good.
25:42Good.
25:43Good.
25:44Good.
25:45Good.
25:46Baby, find the lens.
25:47Dad.
25:48I'm not here.
25:49Oh, um...
25:50Dad, Graham, this is Owen.
25:52Delicious.
25:53Hi.
25:54Pleasure.
25:55Oh, don't they look adorable.
25:57And a corsage.
25:58Here, here.
26:00It goes on your wrist.
26:02Oh, okay.
26:03There it is.
26:05It's beautiful...
26:05Ready?
26:06Yeah.
26:07Yeah.
26:07Okay.
26:08Wait, wait, wait, whoa.
26:09That's it?
26:09I don't even get a chance to ask if he's killed a man?
26:12Daddy hasn't, but I might.
26:14But I might.
26:16Alright, get out of here. Don't do anything I would do.
26:18Enjoy yourselves.
26:20Bye.
26:22Oh, my little girls just all grow up.
26:28Well, at least one of you is.
26:30A severed head.
26:32Ooh, I was just getting started too. I was gonna break into my Chris Walken.
26:34Whoa.
26:36Tell me, little man.
26:38Have you ever been to prison?
26:40Very funny. Very funny.
26:42Do the acting to me, honey.
26:44Hi.
26:46Detective Beckett. I'm so glad you called.
26:48Regale me.
26:50Castle? It's my Chris Walken. What do you think?
26:52Uh, needs work.
26:54In all fairness, part of it's visual.
26:56Listen, Sorensen's on board.
26:58He pulled some strings and got someone at the U.S. Attorney's office to cave.
27:00He's gonna let you question Moran.
27:02But we gotta be there in an hour. Are you in?
27:04Am I in? Is the Pope Catholic?
27:06It'll grow on you.
27:08Seriously.
27:10Parking grows.
27:12What?
27:14It's pretty cliche.
27:16Yeah, well, no one said that the feds were original.
27:18Yeah, next thing they'll tell me they'll be pulling up in a black suburban with tinted windows.
27:24Wow, someone's been watching way too many Bruckheimer films.
27:28Five minutes, Detective. That's all you get.
27:30NYPD, thanks to you for your cooperation.
27:32Want me to watch the monkey?
27:34That's okay. Monkey comes with me.
27:36Suit yourself.
27:38Hey, I really like your car. It's very nondescript.
27:42Mr. Moran, I'm Detective Beckett. This is Richard Castle.
27:56Richard Castle, like the novelist.
27:58Exactly like.
28:00Thought you guys were cops.
28:02He's consulting on the case.
28:04Look, I already told the feds everything I know.
28:06You want info on the Spillanos? Ask them.
28:08Actually, we're not here about the Spillanos.
28:10We're here about Dr. Leeds, the man who operated on you.
28:12What about him?
28:14He was found murdered last week.
28:16Murdered? A doc was murdered?
28:18Asphyxiated. They duct taped a plastic bag over his head.
28:22We believe the Spillanos may have been involved.
28:24May have been?
28:26May have been?
28:28Given how Leeds was killed and given your knowledge of the organization,
28:31we were hoping that you would be able to help identify them.
28:34Hey! Hey!
28:36What's wrong?
28:37Get me out of here!
28:38We can help, Mr. Moran.
28:40We can find the guys who did this,
28:42but you have to let me know if there was anyone in the Spillanos family
28:44that kills this way.
28:46Yeah. Yeah, there is.
28:48Me.
28:49The duct tape, the bag, that was my M.O.
28:52Don't you get it?
28:53They're sending a message to me,
28:54and if they got to the doc,
28:56take me back!
28:58Now!
29:00Hey, how'd it go?
29:01Oh, do the words unmitigated disaster mean anything?
29:04What happened?
29:06We scared a key witness in a huge federal case so bad
29:08that now he won't testify.
29:10Oh, is that all?
29:11Beckett?
29:12Just got a call from DOJ.
29:13Sir, I can explain it.
29:14No, no, it's Sorensen.
29:16On the way back to the FBI safe house with Moran,
29:18someone pulled up next to him and opened fire.
29:20He was in the back with the witness.
29:22They both were shot.
29:24The car was a late model sedan with dealer plates.
29:26Guy pulls up at the light with a mask on, blew the tires,
29:27he starts shooting at the back of the vehicle.
29:28I thought the glass would be bulletproof.
29:29They use cop killers.
29:30Teflon rounds went right through the door.
29:31He's still in surgery.
29:33Moran's gonna be okay, though.
29:34You wanna talk?
29:35There's nothing to talk about.
29:36I'm the one who pushed for it and I'm the one who got Will involved.
29:38there's no way you could have known this was gonna happen.
29:51Are you sure about that?
29:55Because their vehicle was attacked, leaving our mend.
29:59And you're the one who has been out of the door here.
30:01No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
30:03You don't mean to talk about herzlich and girlfriend or girl,
30:06was attacked leaving our meat so so we were followed someone who knew about the
30:13investigation found out about the meat we led them to Moran so yeah I should
30:17have known and if I were a better cop I would have
30:26you think this is your fault yeah you pushed for it not because it's your job
30:33but because you care most people come up against a wall they give up now you you
30:43don't let go you don't back down that's what makes you extraordinary
30:55he's gonna make it he's gonna be okay
31:03I uh I had a good time we do

33:00and there was more
33:07and there was more
33:09and there was more
33:10and there was more
33:10and there was more
33:11and there was more
33:12and there was more
33:26and there was no answer to that i'm not giving you any time to keep the question i feel like
33:29Desk officer said she came in at four this morning.
33:44She's been at the board ever since.
33:46She called us in at 6 a.m. to recheck every person we talked to on the case.
33:50And she's had, like, nine double espressos.
33:59Hey, I've been reading on the internet about this new thing called sleep.
34:04It's supposed to be real good for you.
34:09When I gave you that little speech last night, I really didn't mean for you to go all beautiful mind on me.
34:15It wasn't anyone at the U.S. Attorney's office.
34:17They wouldn't need us to find him, so it had to be someone that we talked to.
34:22You don't think it was my mafia connection?
34:24If he's in a rival family, then they would want Moran alive to testify
34:28because if the feds take down the Spolano's, then other families can take over their territories.
34:31No.
34:32We are looking for someone who had access to the doctor before we got the case.
34:38So that leaves the fiancé and his staff?
34:41Yeah, except the fiancé is clean, alibied and accounted for last night.
34:45Phone records don't indicate any calls to unknown numbers.
34:48I thought you already ran his staff up.
34:50We did, and there were no records of anything to indicate ties to organized crime.
34:54What about last night?
34:55Maggie Dowd was at dinner with friends, Mario Guerrero worked late packing patient files,
35:00and a senior nurse, Julia Hammond, claimed she was a home alone.
35:03What was Mario doing packing patient files last night?
35:06In the closing-up shop, patient files are all going to new doctors.
35:09It's just, doesn't that seem like a weird thing to be doing on a Friday night?
35:12Yeah, well, when you're a low man on a totem pole, that's what life is like.
35:16People think they can call you into work at 6 a.m. on a Saturday.
35:20Julia Hammond and Maggie Dowd, how long did they work for Dr. Leeds?
35:23Uh, Hammond was with him 10 years. Maggie came on a few months back.
35:27What?
35:28Because our low man on the totem pole, Mario Guerrero, started working for the doctor about a month ago.
35:34We checked him. We even called his nursing school. He's clean.
35:37Check again. We can't all be clean.
35:40Where are you going?
35:41To see if Mario was actually at the office Friday night.
35:47Detective, is everything okay?
35:48Mario, I need you to come with me.
35:50Why?
35:50We need to ask you some questions.
35:52Did I do something wrong?
35:54Beckett.
35:55It's Maggie.
35:57What?
35:58Maggie.
35:59We double-checked everything, even called the nursing schools again.
36:02This time, we had him send pictures.
36:04And the one of Maggie...
36:05It's a different girl.
36:08It's Maggie.
36:09Where's Maggie Dowd?
36:10She didn't come in today. Why?
36:12Doctor?
36:15Is Dr. Leeds affiliated with St. Marcus Hospital?
36:18Yeah, that's where we do our procedures.
36:20If she has a hospital ID...
36:21She can finish the job.
36:23You're off the hook.
36:26But don't leave town.
36:27Room's restricted.
36:50Need to see your ID?
36:51Sure.
36:52You have a Maggie Dowd on your list?
36:54She's on the roster.
36:55You can let her through.
36:56I gotta say, Jimmy, you're a hard man to find.
37:15Took me weeks to even find out that you changed your face.
37:19Sodium thio pentol.
37:20It's what they use in lethal injection.
37:23It's not as much fun as a plastic bag.
37:26But...
37:27Does the trick.
37:30Oh, and, uh...
37:32I got a message from Junior, Jimmy.
37:35He says...
37:36Go to hell.
37:39You're under arrest for the murder of Dr. Leeds and the attempted murder of Jimmy Moran.
38:03You're too late.
38:05Oh, no.
38:06Oh, God.
38:09Oh.
38:10Don't worry.
38:11It's not attached to anything.
38:13It's like we knew you were coming.
38:15Attempted murder of a federal witness.
38:17What's that going for these days?
38:1825 to life?
38:29Sawyer's.
38:30Looks like he managed to set things right with the U.S. Attorney's Office.
38:33She turned states.
38:34When Moran recovers, the feds will have two witnesses against the Spillanos.
38:37But only Maggie back there can link them to murder.
38:39Oh, but her real name is Carla Dante.
38:41They call her Carla Coldblood.
38:43She's been killing for the family for five years now.
38:46When Jimmy dropped diamonds, Spillanos sent their best.
38:49Lady Hitman.
38:49A real blow for women's rights.
38:51And a real Maggie Dowd.
38:53Works for a hospital in Seattle.
38:54She had no idea that they had stolen her identity.
38:57Carla even pulled a recommendation off of a job hunting site in order to apply for the
39:01position with Leeds.
39:02Originally, she thought she was going to get a photograph of Moran.
39:05When she couldn't, she went after Leeds.
39:06And then when Leeds didn't talk, she killed him.
39:08But why stay around the office?
39:09If she left before Leeds' body was found, it would have looked suspicious.
39:12And she probably didn't think he'd be sitting around for a week.
39:15And we showed up and she waited to see how far we'd get.
39:18That's good work, Detective.
39:19Very good work.
39:19Thank you, sir.
39:21You know, sir, I never thought that I would be saying this, but I don't think I could have
39:28done it without Castle.
39:30Where's Castle, anyway?
39:33The original ME concluded that the stab wounds were random.
39:37Now, maybe the killer got lucky.
39:39But you see this wound here?
39:41Yeah.
39:42It's a low-angle thrust to the kidney.
39:45The wound size indicated that the knife was twisted.
39:47Her body would have gone into immediate shock.
39:51What about these?
39:52Well, their angles indicate that they were delivered after she was immobilized and on
39:56the ground.
39:57They're just for show.
39:59This is the one that killed her.
40:01This is sounding less like a random killing, more like a targeted murder.
40:07There's more.
40:08On a hunch, I checked the city ME files to see if this was an isolated incident, and found
40:14three other stabbings around that time that the ME working the case dismissed as random.
40:22Were they related?
40:25Are you sure you want to know?
40:26You have to tell her, you know.
40:36Do you know what this will do to her?
40:38You have information that could lead to her mother's killer.
40:41You can't keep that from her.
40:43I know.
40:44But she said if I opened the file that we'd be through.
40:48It doesn't matter.
40:50She has to know.
40:51Stop making me laugh.
41:12Oh, come on.
41:13It's not like you've been shot or something.
41:18I thought you were over sprinkles.
41:21Maybe not.
41:23I don't know.
41:26This is the writer monkey.
41:29What is he still doing here?
41:31Haven't you finished your book yet?
41:34Last chapter.
41:37You have a sec?
41:39Yeah.
41:41Pussy kid.
41:43He likes you.
41:45I'll have to forgive him.
41:46He is heavily medicated.
41:51You look awfully serious.
41:53Is everything okay?
41:55Take a seat.
41:57What?
41:59Sit down.
42:00Castle, what's going on?
42:06It's about your mother.
42:07Oh, it's okay.
42:08I think it's about your mother.
42:10Go.
42:10I don't know.
42:18It's about your mother.
