00:00Morning, grande skim latte, two pumps sugar-free vanilla, and a bear claw.
00:16How did you know?
00:17I'm a novelist.
00:18It's my job to notice this.
00:21Sunday morning, shouldn't you be slinking home from a scandalous liaison?
00:25Would you be jealous if I were?
00:27In your dreams.
00:28Actually, my dream is you'll never tell us, and my dream is you'll just join.
00:33Well, my company called and said, come down right away, so it must be gruesome.
00:37Try not to get so giddy every time we go to a crime scene, okay?
00:40Because somebody's dead doesn't mean you have to be grumpy.
00:43Oh, do you want to say grumpy?
00:44How about the cover art for your new novel?
00:47Nikki Heat cover art?
00:48That's only available...
00:49Oh, my God, you subscribe to my website?
00:52Wait a minute.
00:53Are you Castle Freak 1212?
00:55Castle Lover 45?
00:56You do realize that most people would be creeped out by crazy anonymous fans?
01:02Like you.
01:03It was strictly professional curiosity.
01:06So what did you think of your alter ego, Nikki?
01:08Pretty sweet, right?
01:09Sweet?
01:11She's naked.
01:12She's not naked.
01:14She's holding a gun strategically.
01:16You know, I take comfort in the fact that if they're already publishing the cover art,
01:23then your book and our little partnership is almost done.
01:27There's no coffee in here, sir.
01:34Sir, what's going on?
01:36Two-year-old girl, Angela Candela, reported missing by her parents about 8 o'clock this
01:39morning.
01:40Where'd they find the body?
01:41They haven't found her.
01:42She was abducted.
01:43Father was in the other room painting.
01:44Kidnapped from her home?
01:45I don't understand, sir.
01:46If this isn't a murder, why am I here?
01:48The feds requested you to be on the task force.
01:50Feds?
01:51FBI has jurisdiction over child abduction cases.
01:54Then why call me?
01:55Because I like pissing off the FBI.
01:57Because you think outside the box there's something the Feds rarely do.
01:59Sir, who's the special agent in charge?
02:01Beckett, it doesn't matter.
02:02Sir, who?
02:03Sorenson.
02:05Who's Sorenson?
02:07I thought that he was in...
02:08In Boston, not anymore.
02:09He's here.
02:10Who's Sorenson?
02:11This isn't going to be a problem as a detective.
02:12I mean, we're all professionals here, right?
02:14Actually, I'm not.
02:15Who's Sorenson?
02:16No, sir.
02:16Not a problem.
02:17For what it's worth, that missing little girl doesn't care.
02:21about your history, nor do her terrified parents.
02:23They just want their baby back alive.
02:26Where is he, sir?
02:27He's over there talking to the parents.
02:30Montgomery.
02:32Yeah, please.
02:34Whatever you need.
02:35Excuse me.
02:40Hello, Kate.
02:42Hello, Will.
02:42How long have you been back?
02:44A couple months.
02:47Something wrong with Boston?
02:49Fresh lobster gets old fast.
02:51You look good.
02:55Thanks.
02:56I feel good.
02:57Uh,
02:58Agent Sorenson,
02:59this is Richard Castle.
03:01The famous novelist.
03:03Writer of wrongs.
03:04So,
03:05Captain Montgomery
03:06filled me in on your
03:07little arrangement,
03:08and I have no problem with it
03:09as long as it doesn't interfere
03:10with the investigation.
03:11Oh, don't worry about me.
03:12Quiet as a mouse.
03:13Angela Candela,
03:18two years old,
03:20abducted this morning
03:21between 7.30 and 8 a.m.
03:22Parents were home at the time.
03:24How do you get abducted
03:24when your parents are home?
03:27Yeah.
03:29Dad got up with the kid
03:31about seven,
03:31let the mom sleep in.
03:33He planted Angela
03:34in front of the tube
03:34with a juice box
03:35and some cereal
03:36and headed into
03:37his art studio.
03:40Obviously,
03:41he's a painter.
03:42He just left his kid?
03:44Did he hear anything,
03:45at least?
03:46He was listening
03:46to his iPod.
03:48Nothing like a little
03:49quality time with daddy.
03:50When I couldn't find her,
03:58I looked everywhere for her
03:59and then I saw the window.
04:02The lock was jimmied
04:03from the outside.
04:05I ran outside,
04:07I looked for her.
04:09Mr. Candela,
04:10you live on a ground floor
04:11apartment with windows
04:12facing the alleyway.
04:13Most people have bars.
04:14We were going to,
04:15we just...
04:16I never got around to it.
04:17We think the dirt's
04:18from the outside.
04:20How could this happen
04:21in our own home?
04:23So our suspect
04:23climbed in through the window,
04:25grabbed Angela,
04:25and probably walked
04:26out the back door.
04:28Just like that?
04:28We have her photo
04:29on the wires
04:30and issuing an Amber Alert
04:31to Port Authority
04:31in the tri-state area.
04:32How would my guys
04:33run any registered sex offenders
04:35and residential burglaries?
04:36What about the parents?
04:38Anyone they can think of?
04:39No, not that either of them
04:40can think straight right now.
04:42If this thing goes south,
04:43they'll never think straight again.
04:44Agent Sorensen?
04:46The phone's over there.
04:47Get a tap on it.
04:50This will all end better.
04:52I promise.
05:05Six months.
05:07Six months what?
05:10We dated for six months.
05:11I didn't ask.
05:16Yeah, I know.
05:17You were not asking
05:18very loudly.
05:19I know I'm like a Jedi
05:20like that.
05:23So how'd you meet?
05:25Kidnapping.
05:26Six-year-old boy.
05:27How'd it end?
05:29We got the guy.
05:30What do we got
05:31on the parents?
05:32Teresa and Alfred Candela.
05:34Married, ten years,
05:36one child,
05:37Angela Candela.
05:39Whoa!
05:40Sorry.
05:42Sorry, man.
05:42That tie took me
05:43to my surprise.
05:46Okay.
05:47Get it all out.
05:49This is a gift
05:49from my girlfriend.
05:50Girlfriend.
05:51Today's our
05:52two-week anniversary.
05:53Ooh.
05:54Two weeks.
05:55Is that the paper
05:56or the silk?
05:56I believe it's the whipped.
05:58Go with it.
05:58Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:00One child,
06:00Angela Candela,
06:02age two, adopted.
06:03Adopted?
06:04Yeah, two years ago.
06:05Mom, Teresa,
06:06she's a fund manager
06:06at Keller Stanton.
06:07Dad's a small-time artist.
06:09Shows at the Grayson Gallery
06:10in Chelsea once in a while.
06:12Neighbor says
06:12he stays home with a kid.
06:14All right,
06:14here's a list of all the people
06:15who had access
06:16to the apartment.
06:17Babysitters,
06:18cleaning ladies,
06:18super.
06:19Let's cross-reference
06:19that with any registered
06:20sex offenders in the area.
06:21See if anyone had a thing
06:22for little girls.
06:23You're thinking
06:23there's some creepy crawly
06:24probably scattered
06:25from the inside.
06:27Well, the father said
06:28what he did this morning
06:29was part of a routine,
06:30so either somebody
06:31got lucky
06:32or they already knew it.
06:35Beckett.
06:37Yeah, we'll be right there.
06:40Looks like it wasn't
06:40a creepy crawler after all.
06:42Candela's just got
06:42a ransom call.
06:45Hello?
06:46We have your daughter.
06:48Please, she's just a child.
06:49Please don't hurt her.
06:50Whether we hurt her
06:51is up to you.
06:52Whether she lives
06:53is up to you.
06:54You want your daughter?
06:55We want $750,000.
06:57You have 24 hours.
06:59I want to speak to her.
07:01I want to know
07:02she's safe.
07:04I use an internet
07:05voice over IP service.
07:07Meaning it's untraceable.
07:09Can you raise the $750?
07:12It's everything we have.
07:13It means getting Angela
07:14back will pay.
07:15Then you should start
07:16getting your financial
07:17records together.
07:18Mrs. Candela,
07:20is there anyone
07:20that you know
07:21that can help you?
07:22An accountant
07:22or maybe someone
07:23at your firm?
07:24Nina could help.
07:25Nina?
07:26Nina, my sister.
07:27She's a CPA.
07:29But even if we give
07:30them the money,
07:32how can we be sure
07:33we'll get her back?
07:36You have to have hope.
07:38You have to imagine
07:39your little girl
07:40walking through
07:40that front door
07:41safe and sound.
07:42Your daughter
07:43needs you right now.
07:44She needs you
07:45to have faith,
07:46to be strong.
07:47I'm sorry.
07:47I'm sorry.
07:56You do this a lot?
07:58Kidnappings?
07:59You seem to know
08:00what to say.
08:01It's not about
08:02what you say.
08:03It's about controlling
08:03the situation,
08:04controlling the emotions.
08:05You requested your
08:06ex-girlfriend for
08:07the task force.
08:08That doesn't indicate
08:09to me a control
08:10of your emotions.
08:12I requested Beckett
08:13because she's the best
08:14in the city.
08:15Not because you
08:16wanted to see her again.
08:18How about you, Castle?
08:20You've written what?
08:2220 bestsellers?
08:2426, but it's counting.
08:26Why, I said
08:26need to shadow
08:27a real detective.
08:28Well, the ones on TV
08:29seem oddly fixated
08:30on their sunglasses.
08:31So with all the fat,
08:33balding detectives
08:33in the NYPD,
08:35you just happen
08:36to end up shadowing her?
08:37Must be fate.
08:40Bless me.
08:40Candela's have pulled
08:41their financials.
08:42Their sister's on the way.
08:44Anything on the transcripts?
08:46It's clear the ransom
08:47demand has significance.
08:49Kidnappers make an issue
08:50about knowing
08:50what the Candelas have.
08:51They said it's
08:52everything they have.
08:54Whoever made the demand
08:55knows them well enough
08:56to know exactly
08:57what they're worth.
09:01How does it look?
09:03Detective Agent Sorensen,
09:04this is my sister, Nina.
09:07It's doable.
09:08We'll market the stocks
09:09tomorrow morning,
09:09we'll have to wipe out
09:10the retirement account
09:11on both pensions,
09:12and you'll have to
09:13pay penalties.
09:13I don't care.
09:14Whatever it takes.
09:18He paints when he's
09:20stressed.
09:21Does he sell much?
09:23Some.
09:25That's generous.
09:26Sorry.
09:29Why do you ask?
09:31I don't know many artists
09:32with their own pension
09:33account.
09:34Teresa set up
09:35the account for him,
09:36so he'd have something
09:37for him and Angela,
09:38you know,
09:39if something...
09:40Tell me,
09:40Mrs. Candela,
09:42we think the specificity
09:44of the amount of
09:44the ransom demand
09:45suggests that kidnappers
09:46had knowledge of your
09:47finances.
09:48Was there anyone
09:49who might have had
09:49a grudge against you
09:50or maybe someone close
09:51to you who needed
09:52the money now?
09:53No one who would
09:54do something like this.
09:55What about Doug Ellers?
09:58Who's Doug Ellers?
09:59Someone I used to work
10:01with, but no,
10:01I can't imagine...
10:03What about those messages
10:04he left you at work?
10:05Remember you followed
10:05those complaints with HR?
10:07I know what happened,
10:08Alfred.
10:09Mrs. Candela,
10:10I know.
10:12How hard this is,
10:13it's understandable,
10:13I'll get frustrated,
10:14but please,
10:16we need to know everything.
10:18Ellers ran an
10:19asset management group.
10:21They weren't performing,
10:23so I let him go.
10:24Did he ever threaten you?
10:26Well, he blamed me
10:27for his divorce.
10:29He said his wife
10:31left him because
10:32I fired him and...
10:34And what?
10:36And she took
10:37his two kids.
10:42Where'd you find him?
10:42In line at
10:43Off-Track Betting.
10:44ESU just hit his apartment.
10:45No trace of the kid.
10:47That's not good.
10:48Pressure interview?
10:49I'll take the lead.
10:50Yeah.
10:51No.
10:53You'll be fine, Will.
10:54Kate,
10:54I don't care how big
10:55a fan of his you are,
10:56he doesn't come
10:57in the room.
10:59Fine.
11:00It's fine.
11:02Just for the record, though,
11:03how big a fan is she?
11:05Come on, Castle.
11:08Come watch from the bleachers
11:09with us.
11:10See how the Phoebes do it.
11:12Mr. Ellers,
11:12Detective Kate Beckett,
11:13NYPD.
11:16Special Agent Sorensen,
11:17FBI.
11:19When was your last contact
11:21with Teresa Candela?
11:23Teresa Candela?
11:24What, what, what's going on?
11:25Just answer the question.
11:27What did she say about me?
11:28Let's talk about
11:30what you said to her.
11:34I gave you six years
11:35of my life.
11:36Six years.
11:37My profits built
11:38your whole damn division.
11:40And now you want
11:40to bend me over?
11:41You want to cut me out?
11:43Well, karma's a bitch, Teresa.
11:45You burn down my house,
11:46I'm gonna burn yours down.
11:50You left that
11:51three months ago.
11:53Just after your wife left.
11:55Yeah.
11:56So,
11:56every word of it's true.
11:59It's harassment.
12:00Oh, what,
12:00are you gonna press charges now?
12:02Yeah, kidnapping,
12:03assault, breaking and entering.
12:04What the hell are you talking about?
12:05Somebody kidnapped
12:06Angela Candela this morning.
12:09Kidnapped?
12:09Hurting someone else's child
12:11isn't the way
12:11to get back your own.
12:12No, no, no.
12:13This is not me.
12:14Teresa may not be
12:15my favorite person,
12:16but I would never
12:17harm a child.
12:18Your ex-wife wasn't so sure.
12:20According to your divorce papers,
12:21there are allegations
12:21of violence.
12:22My ex-wife was looking
12:23for a payday.
12:25That's all.
12:25You're not looking
12:26for our payday,
12:27are you, Mr. Ellis?
12:28You have
12:29the wrong
12:30guy.
12:35Run him down
12:36where he was all morning.
12:37Who can vouch?
12:38Pretty clear it wasn't him.
12:40You a mind reader, too?
12:41Come on.
12:42If he was your guy,
12:43he'd be downplaying
12:43his feelings for Teresa,
12:44not wearing him on his sleeve.
12:46A couple dozen bestsellers
12:47doesn't make you
12:47a criminologist.
12:49I also don't need
12:49a weatherman to tell me
12:50that the sky is blue.
12:51Oh, for God's sakes.
12:52Why don't you both
12:53just drop your pants
12:54and get it over with?
12:55I'm gay.
12:56The fact is,
12:57you're both right.
12:58He probably didn't do it,
12:59but when a child's life
13:00is at stake,
13:01we have to be sure.
13:02We have to question
13:02everything we think we know.
13:04You guys keep Ellers on ice
13:06until we can trace
13:07every second of his mourning.
13:08Will, you and I
13:09are going back
13:09to the Candelas.
13:10We're going to profile
13:10all of their associates.
13:13What should I do?
13:13I need you to go home.
13:25Okay.
13:26But if you need me,
13:28call.
13:30Even if it's just a talk.
13:31Okay.
13:43Todd, honey,
13:47I really, really need you
13:49to focus on calibrating
13:50your creative energy.
13:52Now, by creative energy,
13:54what do I mean?
13:54I mean the source
13:55of your power.
13:56The source of your power,
13:58Todd, is you.
14:01Howdy, Mother.
14:02Hello.
14:03Bill, you're here.
14:06I'm just finishing up
14:08a session in my office.
14:11I'm so flattered
14:11you have my framed book covers.
14:13In your office.
14:15Well, a coach
14:16can never be too proud.
14:20Mr. Castle,
14:21I just wanted to thank you
14:22for being so honest
14:24about your struggle
14:25with persistent
14:26and chronic writer's block.
14:28Excuse me?
14:28Well, Todd is
14:30an aspiring novelist,
14:32so I shared with him
14:33your inspiring tale
14:35of triumph over adversity.
14:37Well, how courageous of me.
14:40Good luck, Todd.
14:41Thanks.
14:42I'll take the year-long package.
14:44Way to be decisive, kiddo.
14:46Good for you.
14:47I'll see you next week.
14:48Thanks, ma'am.
14:48And remember,
14:49you is who you is.
14:50And if you ain't who you is,
14:52who is you?
14:54Well,
14:56nice to see all those years
14:57as an actress
14:57have really paid off.
14:59Focus on calibrating
15:00your creative energies.
15:02I'll have you know
15:03Todd is a very bright spirit
15:06in need of direction.
15:07Mother,
15:07it's bad enough
15:08that you're slandering me.
15:09Do you have to come
15:09to my office
15:10to do your new-age
15:12coddle session?
15:13Richard,
15:13you can't expect me
15:14to pay Manhattan rates
15:15for office space.
15:16Well, how about this?
15:18You cannot beat this location
15:19proximity to beverages
15:20and sharp utensils.
15:22Sweetheart,
15:23as your life coach,
15:25I have to urge you
15:26to say nay
15:27to your inner naysayer.
15:29I call that a Martha-ism.
15:31How is it that you don't know
15:32who my father is?
15:33You don't know how your ex-husband
15:34stole all your money,
15:35yet you are giving
15:36life coaching advice?
15:38Mistakes are the building blocks
15:39of wisdom.
15:41A Martha-ism.
15:42Besides,
15:43Freud was an addict.
15:44Didn't stop him
15:45from helping people.
15:46Sadly,
15:47faced with his mother's
15:48twisted yet unimpeachable logic,
15:51Richard Castle's head exploded.
15:52Ah, well.
15:55So,
15:55why are you home so early?
15:57Well,
15:57thought I'd take
15:58a little breather
15:58working on a kidnapping case.
16:01A little girl.
16:03No wonder you're so surly.
16:05Those poor parents
16:06having a child ripped away,
16:07I can't imagine
16:08how they must feel.
16:09Is Alexis home?
16:11She's upstairs.
16:12Feeling a deep-seated
16:13need for a hug?
16:14Perfectly understandable.
16:16After all,
16:17we are pod mates.
16:18Another Martha-ism.
16:20I call it the peapod bond.
16:21You know,
16:22the bond that exists
16:23between parent and child,
16:24you and me,
16:25you and Alexis.
16:26We're all peas in a pod.
16:27And whether we like it or not,
16:29everyone who's ever had a child
16:30is in the pod
16:31forever.
16:32The peapod bond.
16:35Alexis!
16:35Thank you, Mother.
16:37Oh.
16:37I'll deduct my session fee
16:38from your rent.
16:39Whoa, whoa, whoa.
16:39You might want to consider
16:40the year-long package.
16:41It's a bargain.
16:42What was that for?
16:48Just a peapod thing.
16:50Graham will explain.
16:59Hey.
16:59Hey.
17:00Hey, yourself.
17:02Want some?
17:03Yeah, thanks.
17:04So, I just got word
17:06from my guy's
17:07and Ellers is a dead end.
17:10The owner over at
17:11Paradise Diner
17:12on East 62nd
17:13vouched that he was having
17:13his usual poached eggs
17:15this morning.
17:15Hmm.
17:17Would've been too easy, right?
17:18Hmm.
17:20Or over easy.
17:26That's like something
17:27Castle would say.
17:28Do you like him?
17:35No, I just, um...
17:38I don't know.
17:40I think he's interesting.
17:42So, you're not...
17:44Together?
17:46No.
17:51I meant to call.
17:54Must've picked up the phone
17:55a dozen times.
17:59Yeah, I know.
18:00You meant to do
18:00a lot of things.
18:01That's why
18:01you left, remember?
18:06Boston
18:06was a great opportunity.
18:08I'm not saying
18:08that it wasn't.
18:09I'm just saying
18:10it was a choice
18:12that didn't include me.
18:16You could've come.
18:17And then done what?
18:19Join the Boston PD
18:20and then you have to
18:20move to Phoenix
18:21and then Cleveland
18:22and then you're back here.
18:23I mean, we both know
18:24what that life is all about.
18:26It didn't stop me
18:29from missing you.
18:31Missing us.
18:33Sundays in the park.
18:36Those ridiculous neon
18:38ice skates
18:38at Rockefeller Center.
18:41I will have you know
18:42that those ice skates
18:44are awesome.
18:47I was in the skates.
18:49Well, I...
18:55I...
18:56I'm...
18:57Oh, I thought
19:03cops and feds
19:03hated each other.
19:05They say justice
19:05never sleeps.
19:06I think I know why.
19:07We were just...
19:08Being consenting adults.
19:10I'm not judging.
19:11I thought I told you
19:11to go home.
19:12I did go home.
19:13But then my mother
19:14told me something
19:14that couldn't wait.
19:15You live with your mother.
19:16Yeah, apparently
19:16we're peas in a pod.
19:17But the important point is
19:18Angela is adopted.
19:20So?
19:20So, prior to giving up
19:22her baby
19:22the birth mother
19:23would have been given
19:24background on the Kintella
19:25specifically
19:26their ability
19:27to support the child.
19:28Knowledge of their finances.
19:30Really?
19:31Kate?
19:32We're gonna waste time
19:33on the insights
19:34of Nancy Drew here.
19:35Is that supposed
19:36to be an insult?
19:36Because Nancy Drew
19:37solved every case.
19:38Look, okay
19:39and I'm quoting here.
19:41When a child's life
19:42is at stake
19:42we have to be sure.
19:43which means
19:44we have to question
19:45everything we think
19:46we know.
19:47I was a junior
19:47in high school.
19:48What was I gonna do
19:49with the baby?
19:51It's been two years
19:52Miss Gomez.
19:54Two years is
19:55still a long time
19:57to think about
19:57a decision you made
19:58when you were 16.
19:59What am I doing here?
20:00What is this about?
20:01We're talking about
20:02the baby
20:02and you're regretting
20:04your decision.
20:05My decision?
20:06I don't regret
20:07my decision.
20:09Then why did you
20:09try to find her?
20:12What are you
20:12talking about?
20:13This is a petition
20:15that you filed
20:16with the adoption
20:16agency a couple
20:17of months ago.
20:19It's a form
20:20requesting the identity
20:21of the adoptive
20:22parents of Angela.
20:24A signed form.
20:26No.
20:27That's not my signature.
20:29You see it?
20:29No, really.
20:30Look, you can see
20:31for yourself.
20:33That's not my signature.
20:35Why?
20:37What's going on?
20:38What happened to her?
20:40Is she okay?
20:41Did anyone in your family
20:42object to you
20:43giving up your baby?
20:44No.
20:45No one.
20:45My mom even helped me
20:46with it.
20:47And the father?
20:50Juan?
20:52He was in Iraq
20:53when I had her.
20:55But we talked about it.
20:57He was cool.
20:59Are you sure about that?
21:02Are you still in Iraq?
21:03No, I got back
21:04a couple months ago.
21:12Juan Restrepo?
21:15NYPD, we'd like to ask...
21:17Go, go, go, go!
21:19Hey!
21:20Freeze!
21:21Hands up!
21:27Freeze!
21:28Keep your hands up.
21:31Get the ground.
21:32On the ground!
21:33Get the ground.
21:34So why'd you run?
21:40Look, in my neighborhood
21:41when you see a cop
21:42that's what you do.
21:43Look, man,
21:43all I'm saying
21:44is you need to change your life.
21:46What?
21:46No, uh,
21:47good cop,
21:48bad fit?
21:49You know this kid.
21:50The guy did two tours
21:51in the Gulf.
21:52I go over there
21:53and turn it into
21:54a piss-a-match
21:55with Kate.
21:57She's got a way
21:57of sneaking up on people.
21:59You mean like last night?
22:00I can't believe this.
22:04He details cars for a living.
22:06He could have a little more
22:06pride in his ride.
22:07I'm just saying
22:11it looked like quite a kiss.
22:15You jealous, Castle?
22:16Me?
22:17No.
22:18No, you have to admit.
22:19I was right.
22:21You are jealous.
22:22And I hooked her.
22:24What's there to be jealous, huh?
22:26You couldn't reel her in?
22:28We'll see about that.
22:31I was 18
22:32when Lucy got pregnant.
22:34Six months in,
22:36I got deployed.
22:38I never even had
22:38the chance to see her.
22:40But you signed
22:41the adoption papers.
22:43You know,
22:43when you're over there,
22:44you see so many kids.
22:46I just...
22:47I needed to know
22:49she was okay.
22:49I...
22:50I filled out the form
22:51and I put Lucy's name
22:52and stuff.
22:54You got an address.
22:56Dude felt bad for me.
22:58He was over there too
22:58in Gulf 1
22:59and he only lost an arm.
23:00And what'd you lose?
23:03Now E.D. hit my MV.
23:06Shrapnel toll to the floor.
23:08Doc says I'm
23:09never gonna have kids
23:10in my home, so...
23:12I got an address
23:13and I went to go see my daughter.
23:15So you kidnap her
23:16and you ask her
23:16adoptive parents for money?
23:19I kidnap her?
23:19She was kidnapped?
23:20And you think I did that?
23:22All I ever wanted to know
23:23was that she was okay.
23:24Is she?
23:25I'm not losing this one.
23:29Yo, birth dad?
23:30Story checks out.
23:32Limo company had him
23:32doing their fleet yesterday.
23:34I don't care.
23:34He had motive and opportunity.
23:36His motive was
23:37the instinct of fatherhood.
23:38If he took her,
23:39he'd have been with her,
23:40not at some $12 an hour
23:41detailing job.
23:41Doesn't matter.
23:42I want ESU on his place.
23:44It's not him, Will.
23:45We're at square freaking one
23:46and we've got nothing.
23:48You can send ESU
23:49wherever you want,
23:50but I'm not losing this one.
23:51What did she mean
23:54not losing this one?
23:58The case we worked.
24:01I thought you got the guy.
24:04We did, but
24:05the kid was already dead.
24:07Sorensen,
24:15I'm away.
24:17Another call about the ransom.
24:20They asked for 75 packs of hundreds,
24:22randomized serial numbers,
24:24and warned against
24:24bait money,
24:25dye packs,
24:26and trackers.
24:27Sounds like they know
24:28your playbook.
24:28They were detailed
24:29down to the make,
24:30model,
24:30and color of the backpack.
24:32Drop instructions?
24:33We wait for their call.
24:35All right,
24:35let's get the money set
24:36and be ready to make the drop.
24:38But why didn't they tell us
24:39where to bring the money?
24:40They're testing you.
24:41It's not unusual.
24:42Which means
24:43before we make the drop,
24:44we'll need to test them.
24:46We'll need proof
24:46that they have Angela
24:47and that she's okay.
24:49What if they don't give any?
24:51What if they refuse?
24:52How can you think that?
24:53I'm just saying.
24:54Wait, what,
24:54do you think she's dead?
24:55No, of course not.
24:57I should have gotten up.
24:58I shouldn't have let you watch her.
24:59Don't tell me what to say.
25:01Tell me, Alfred.
25:02Was it worth it?
25:03What's it worth
25:04our little girl?
25:06Oh, my God.
25:17Mrs. Candela?
25:21Teresa,
25:22you can't give in to your fear.
25:25Neither you nor your husband
25:26is responsible for what happened.
25:28Remember, no proof,
25:38no money.
25:39We need to be firm on that.
25:41Okay.
25:42Here we go.
25:45Hello.
25:45Listen, careful.
25:47Any deviation
25:48in your daughter times?
25:50I understand.
25:52A civilian,
25:53not a cop,
25:54must make the drop
25:55but we will kill the girl.
25:56We see police or FBI
25:58and she dies.
25:59Do you have the money?
26:00Yes,
26:01$7.50,
26:02like you said.
26:03Put it in the backpack
26:04and bring it to the northeast corner
26:06of First Avenue
26:07and 47.
26:08There's a mailbox there
26:09with a cell phone taped underneath.
26:11We'll text further instructions
26:13once you're there.
26:14When we have the money,
26:15then we'll call
26:16with the girl's location.
26:18Ask for proof
26:19that Angela's okay.
26:20You won't get any money
26:22until I know
26:22my little girl is okay.
26:26Mama?
26:28Hi, sweetheart.
26:31What now?
26:38Once they get paid,
26:39there's no incentive
26:40to keep her alive,
26:41so I'll make the drop.
26:43Figure we'll place our people
26:44at a one block radius
26:45from the mailbox.
26:46No.
26:47They said no cops.
26:49It's okay.
26:50I've done this before.
26:51They won't know
26:52I'm an FBI agent.
26:53And if they do?
26:54Mr. Candela,
26:55we need this to go
26:56as smoothly as possible.
26:57She's my daughter
26:59and we're going to follow
27:00their instructions
27:00to the letter.
27:01They said no cops.
27:05Look,
27:07I'm her father
27:08and I can do this.
27:14Do I make myself clear?
27:17No way we can send the father.
27:26Too many things could go wrong.
27:27He's too emotional.
27:28What choice do we have?
27:30Me.
27:31What?
27:32I'm not a cop.
27:34I'm certainly not emotional.
27:36No, absolutely not.
27:38The NYPD already
27:38has a signed waiver from me
27:40and I don't like saying this,
27:43but you're running out of time.
27:44Castle's right.
27:46You can't be serious.
27:47He's been with me on cases before.
27:49He's good under pressure.
27:51And he's our best shot.
27:53He's good under pressure.
28:00Look, look at her.
28:01Look at her.
28:01Look at her.
28:02Look at her.
28:02Look at her.
28:02Okay, so this is usually the part
28:24where I ask if you've thought this through
28:26and then I remembered
28:27you don't think things through.
28:28Cold hands.
28:29Cold hands.
28:32These people are dangerous, Castle.
28:34You need to stay alert and focused.
28:36Alert and focused.
28:38God.
28:38Maybe if you should rub them together
28:40for a second.
28:40Wait, wait.
28:41Alert and what?
28:43I'm just kidding.
28:44You're good to go.
28:45Thanks.
28:46Hey.
28:47It's going to be okay.
28:51Look, about last night
28:54what happened in the kitchen,
28:55I just...
28:55Listen, you don't need to explain that.
28:57I don't?
28:58Unless you want to.
29:00Uh, no, you know,
29:01I just figured for the character,
29:04for Nikki Heat.
29:04Yeah, I think I understand Nikki Heat
29:07better than you think I do.
29:13Be careful, okay?
29:17Do I detect actual concern
29:19for my well-being?
29:20Screw this up and I'll kill you.
29:22It's more like it.
29:25Okay, I have eyes on the target.
29:31Over.
29:32Are you reading me?
29:33We don't have to read you.
29:34We can see you.
29:35Now shut up and focus.
29:37Roger that.
29:38Five, five, five.
29:40He's quite a guy.
29:41You only knew how big a fan you really are.
29:43Yeah, well, he's not going to know.
29:47You never told him how you stood lying for an hour
29:49just to get your book signed?
29:50That was, novels got you through your mother's death.
29:56Is there anything you don't remember?
29:59Not when it comes to you.
30:00I feel like Michael finding a gun taped behind the toilet.
30:16You might want to tell Ryan and Esposito to hang back.
30:23They just sent a text.
30:24It says we're watching you.
30:26Could be just a ruse.
30:28Nope.
30:30They just sent another one.
30:31It says you're wearing a black raincoat.
30:33Okay, so they can see you.
30:35That doesn't change anything.
30:46Tell them to stop falling around.
30:47I like that'll help.
30:50Okay.
30:52It says across the street
30:54and then west on east 47th.
30:58That's left, right?
31:00Right.
31:01Right, right or right, left?
31:02Left.
31:03Left.
31:07Twelve or one.
31:11Got it.
31:11We see him.
31:19You want me to leave the bag at the shoeshine stand
31:22and exit out the side?
31:24Right.
31:32All right, I'm at the stand.
31:37Have him make the drop.
31:38Kessel, leave the bag.
31:40Make the drop and walk away.
31:45Coming in.
31:46Don't have him yet.
31:48I just left it.
31:49I'm headed out.
31:51Esposito, Ryan, you got eyes?
31:53Let's see the shoe shine stand.
31:55Wait, I got the backpack.
31:57Asian male, long hair.
31:58I got him, I got him.
32:01What's the girl?
32:02Where's Angela?
32:03What girl?
32:04I don't know what you're talking about.
32:11Ryan, Ryan!
32:25The kidnappers posted an ad on Craigslist
32:28and said that this was a performance art piece for YouTube.
32:32They sent out nearly two dozen of the backpacks.
32:34The poster used an IP anonymizer making it impossible to trace.
32:38So we just do nothing?
32:40Well, I managed to slip the phone that the kidnappers gave me inside the backpack.
32:45I don't understand.
32:46Well, before I did that, I sent a text message to Detective Beckett.
32:49The phone's under a bulk account, so we can't trace its owner, but we can trace its ID.
32:53So far, we've pinged the phone to a 20-block radius on the Lower East Side.
32:57We'll need another few hours to narrow it down.
32:59In the meantime, I moved a team into the area.
33:02They'll work the streets, be ready to move when we have more information.
33:12Thanks.
33:13You okay?
33:17I keep thinking, if only I saw who took that bag.
33:27Well, that wasn't your job.
33:33I mean, I can't imagine anything like this ever happening to Alexis.
33:36We'll get her back soon.
33:43Not as soon as we hoped.
33:45They must have found it taking the batteries out.
34:06Hey.
34:14Hey.
34:16What are you doing up, stressed about finals?
34:19American lits today.
34:21I was having nightmares about Hester Prynne.
34:24Ah.
34:25The irony for you is not getting enabled to cause you shame.
34:29So why are you up?
34:30Looking for a white rabbit.
34:32Lewis Carroll or the Matrix?
34:34I'm not sure yet.
34:36What did Beckett tell you about taking phone photos of the crime scene?
34:40I don't know.
34:41I wasn't listening.
34:44See all those stuffed animals on the bed?
34:46Aw.
34:47It looks just like mine used to.
34:49Remember when I had all those animals?
34:51If by remember when you mean Monkey Bunky,
34:53who's been watched so many times,
34:54he looks like roadkill now, then yes.
34:56I have no idea what you're talking about.
34:57Oh, then you won't mind next time I see him if I throw him out?
34:59Don't you dare.
35:01I won't.
35:01Don't.
35:02I won't.
35:03I won't.
35:03Okay.
35:04Okay.
35:06So you think the bunny has something to do with the case?
35:11Well, I'll let you know when I go down the rabbit hole.
35:23Castle?
35:24Go back to sleep.
35:27What are you doing?
35:28When Alexis was little,
35:30she had a stuffed monkey that she could not live without.
35:33One time we went on vacation, she forgot to pack her.
35:36I bought her another one, but she knew it was not Monkey Bunky.
35:39So?
35:39So, there's two more pictures of her clutching this bunny out there.
35:45So where's the bunny?
35:47You think whoever took Angela knew her well enough to take the bunny to?
35:51Well, we already checked the Candela's list.
35:53A couple of teenage babysitters, a cleaning lady, they're all been cleared.
35:57Only, not all babysitters are teenagers.
36:00Sometimes they're people close to us.
36:02Sometimes they're family.
36:05When did we lose the signal on the phone?
36:07Right after we told the Candela's we were tracking it.
36:12Teresa's sister, Nina, you got an address.
36:13Nina Medoza, you're under arrest for the kidnapping of Angela Candela.
36:29Taking your own niece.
36:30Put your hands behind your back.
36:32You have a right to remain silent.
36:33Hello, Angela.
36:35I'm so happy to see you.
36:37You want to go and see Mom?
36:39Come on, baby.
36:41Look at you.
36:42Hello.
36:43Hi, beautiful.
36:46You want to grab it?
36:47Then grab it.
36:48No, look at her.
36:51Oh, no.
36:52Oh, no.
36:52Hey.
37:05Oh, my God.
37:07Angie!
37:09Mi corazón.
37:10Wow.
37:12Oh, God.
37:15You look perfect.
37:16Just perfect.
37:18Is she okay?
37:19She's fine.
37:20Yeah.
37:21What are you doing?
37:24She's here.
37:25She's home.
37:25What is it?
37:26What is it?
37:29What's wrong?
37:41What's going on?
37:43Crawford, can you take Angela?
37:46Come here, sweetie.
37:51Come here, sweetie.
37:54Here you go, girl.
37:56Here we go.
38:02What did you do?
38:03I worked 14-hour days, year after year, killing myself so that we can have a life.
38:11And what did you do?
38:13Oh, you painted.
38:16All you did was paint.
38:17That's not true.
38:19Really?
38:19What about that job you said that you were going to get so that I can cut my hours?
38:23I was taking care of Angela.
38:24Taking care?
38:26You left her there.
38:27In front of the TV.
38:29Every day.
38:31Do you know how many times I woke up to her screams?
38:34Because he was in that room, blasting the music in his ears?
38:37It doesn't give you the right to kidnap your own child.
38:39How is it kidnapping?
38:41She's my daughter.
38:42Mrs. Candela, you had your sister climb through that window and take her.
38:46I gave her permission.
38:48It doesn't matter.
38:50You violated your husband's custodial rights.
38:54Custodial rights?
38:55He didn't even notice that she was gone.
38:59What kind of a father does that to his two-year-old child?
39:02Why would you do this?
39:04Why would you put us through that?
39:06And for God's sake, why not just divorce me?
39:09So that you can sue me for alimony?
39:11So that you can get half of everything?
39:14So that you can get custody of Angela?
39:18Because I'm at work all day and you can be there for her.
39:22No.
39:24I've seen what happens to the guys at work.
39:26What happened to Doug Ellers.
39:27No way was that going to happen to me.
39:31You were paying the ransom to yourself.
39:32Once Angela returned, I would file for the papers.
39:43There would be nothing left for him to take.
39:45And if Angela was kidnapped when Alfred was taking care of her, then...
39:48The lawyer said that if I could prove him negligent, I would get custody.
39:52I wouldn't have to move out of the apartment that I paid for so that he could live here with my daughter.
40:00Do you know how hard it was to adopt her?
40:04How much it cost?
40:06Ten years!
40:08How many paintings have you sold, Alfred?
40:12Huh?
40:13How many?
40:18How could you hate me so much?
40:23You made it easy.
40:25So what do you think she'll do?
40:39Well, it depends on how many mothers are on the jury.
40:43So, now that it's over, now that I'm back, I was thinking maybe we could give him a shot.
40:55And when you leave again?
40:58You come with me.
41:07Think about it.
41:23Nice guy.
41:25I can see how it wouldn't work, though.
41:28Really?
41:29Sure.
41:30Huh.
41:31Handsome.
41:32Square-jawed.
41:33By the book.
41:34And that's a bad thing?
41:36Yeah, he's like the male you.
41:38Ying needs yang, not another ying.
41:40Ying yang is harmony.
41:43Ying ying is a name for a panda.
41:47Any more wisdom, Obi-Wan?
41:48Nope.
41:49That's it for today.
41:50What say we celebrate by going out for a drink?
41:52I can't.
41:53I got a date.
41:55A date?
41:56You date?
41:57Who?
41:59That's why it's called private life.
42:00Because it's private.
42:02Unlike you, I don't live my life on page six.
42:04Well, you're a mysterious woman, Detective Beckett.
42:09Maybe there's a little more Nikki Heat in me than you think.
42:11I'm tired, boy.
42:21Need a drink, need a man.
42:27I'm not...
42:29I'm not the answer.
42:29I'm not the source.
42:53I'm not the source.
