00:01There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people psychopaths and mystery writers
00:06I'm the kind that pays better. Who am I? I'm Rick Castle Castle Castle
00:10I really am ruggedly handsome. I every writer needs inspiration and I found mine detective Kate Beckett Beckett Beckett
00:17Nikki Heath the character. He's basing on you and thanks to my friendship with the mayor. I get to be on her case
00:22I'd be happy to let you spank me together. We catch killers
00:25Make a pretty good team, you know, like Starsky and Hutch. Turner and Hooch. They do remind me a little of Hooch
00:47Chef? Chef! Check his pulse
00:55What broke? Stupid glass
00:58Remind me to get smarter glasses. Somehow I feel that the glass is not quite the problem
01:03I got invited to the Hamptons with Lacey's family and a couple other friends
01:06Well it sounds like fun
01:08So why do you look like someone who just got voted off the island?
01:11AP tests are next week so I really need to study all weekend
01:15But I really want to go to the Hamptons
01:17The eternal struggle between work and play
01:19The trick is when you grow up, find work that feels like play
01:23Speaking of work
01:25What are you doing up and dressed so early?
01:27Oh, no reason. Just thought I'd get an early start to my day
01:29Mm-hmm
01:31Bye
01:38He's like, that's my story
01:40What?
01:42Alright, so, um, I'll see you tomorrow night?
01:44Yeah, good. Okay
01:45Okay
01:46What's Deming doing in our break room? Is there something wrong with the coffee downstairs?
01:51Well, you're the one who bought us the cappuccino machine, Castle
01:54Yes, but I bought it for Homicide, not the entire precinct
01:57Oh
01:58What's tomorrow night?
01:59What?
02:00Oh, Tom was wondering if I wanted to get together tomorrow night
02:04Why, is that a problem?
02:06Why would I have a problem with that?
02:08Excuse me
02:10Beckett
02:12Okay, you're right there
02:16Tom
02:18Tom
02:22Right
02:23The murder is at Q3
02:24This place has only been open three months
02:26I can't even get a reservation here
02:27I've been dying to eat here
02:28Well, evidently you're not the only one
02:30Where are we?
02:31In the kitchen
02:32Victim's name is Balthazar Wolf, he's a head chef here
02:35Big Bad Wolf?
02:36Window of Kitchen Wars season six?
02:38I know, right?
02:39Aw, man
02:40Never got to taste this foie gras sandwich
02:42He was found this morning by the pastry chef Spike Ridenour
02:45And one of the dishwashers one close to
02:50Castle, stop!
02:52Do you not see the little orange cones around the body?
02:55Is that actually his hand?
02:56That's the effect of LN2
02:59Commonly known as liquid nitrogen, a cryogenic refrigerant
03:03It instantly freezes anything it comes in touch with
03:06Including Mr. Wolf, made him fragile as glass
03:09This is both literally and figuratively cool
03:13Wolf was a follower of molecular gastronomy
03:16It's using the science to manipulate the...
03:22Then you don't care
03:23It's usually pretty safe unless someone dumps it on you
03:26Time of death?
03:27All our normal indicators are contaminated by the LN2
03:33I'll see what I can do once I get to the morgue
03:36But we're gonna have to let them thaw a bit before we can move them
03:40Looks like there was a struggle
03:42Robbery?
03:43No, no sign of forced entry, nothing's missing
03:46According to Mr. Ridenour and Mr. Costa here
03:49Our victim stayed at the restaurant long after everyone else had left
03:52And what time was that?
03:53It was around 11, one of our clients had special ordered a cake
03:55And Wolf stayed behind to finish it up
03:57Aren't you the pastry chef?
03:59Yeah, but I don't do crazy stuff like Wolf does
04:02I just, uh, I made the cushion and he sculpted the crown, the heart and the jewels
04:06But that's probably why he had the rotary evaporator out and the liquid nitrogen
04:09Alright, after Perlmutter gets the body out
04:11I'm gonna want CSU to come in and sweep for fibers and prints
04:13Yeah, yeah
04:14Yo, Beckett
04:15The owner's here
04:16See, there's been an accident
04:17Madison?
04:20Bex?
04:21What are you doing here?
04:23I'm a homicide detective
04:25Shut the front door
04:26I know
04:27I know, right?
04:29What a messed up way for us to reconnect
04:31Madison Keller, this is Richard Castle
04:33Hi
04:34Hi, please call me Rick
04:35How do you two know each other?
04:36High school
04:37Ninth grade French
04:39I can't believe the biggest scoff lads die became a cop
04:42Yeah
04:44So I'm gonna need contact information for all the restaurant staff
04:48Come on, Bex, you think somebody here might have done it?
04:50You know, no forced entry usually means that the killer either knew the chef or was someone who had keys
04:54So I'm gonna need alibis from everyone
04:56Including you
04:57Sorry
04:58No, no, I understand
05:00I was at a party until the wee hours
05:02Lots of people saw me
05:03Maddie, do you know if Wolf had any enemies?
05:05Anyone that wanted to do him harm?
05:06He was the bad boy America loved to hate
05:09I was a guest judge, that's how we met
05:11Seriously?
05:12You never heard of Kitchen Wars?
05:14Uh, no, I don't really get a lot of time to watch TV
05:20This from the girl who'd spend hours watching Saved by the Bell reruns
05:24Really?
05:26What else did she spend hours doing?
05:28Cancel
05:29Real crime scene, not search time, okay?
05:32Did you notice anything unusual about Wolf lately?
05:35Anything at all?
05:36There was one thing, Wolf usually worked non-stop
05:40I mean, you can tear him away from the kitchen
05:42But for the last couple of weeks
05:44He'd disappear around 3 and come back just in time to prep at 5
05:48Did he say where he was going?
05:49No, he said it was personal
05:51Hey guys, found something
05:53Juan the dishwasher was the last one here last night
05:56He swears he finished every single dish
05:57Two dirty bowls, two spoons and a soup pot?
06:00Looks like Wolf had some late night company
06:02It's popcorn soup
06:04It's Domingo's specialty
06:05Domingo?
06:06Our line chef
06:07He must have come back after everybody left
06:09That means he's the last one to have seen Wolf alive
06:11Do you have an address?
06:12Of course
06:13Alright, track down Domingo and see why he was here so late and what he saw
06:17I'll also need the contact info for Wolf's next of kin
06:24High school friend, huh?
06:25I bet she knows where all your bodies are buried
06:27You can dig all you want, Castle
06:29My secrets are safe with her
06:30How can you be sure?
06:31Because whatever she knows about me
06:33I know worse about her
06:35We used to hang out
06:36Big group of us
06:37Had a good time
06:38And
06:39What's a good time?
06:40Well, if you don't know by now
06:42I'm sure it's too late to show you one
06:45Here's Wolf's emergency contact
06:47David Nicolaitis
06:48Wolf didn't have any real family
06:50He spent most of his childhood in and out of foster homes
06:53Which is
07:01He got out of juvie
07:02It didn't take long to tell that he had a real gift for food
07:13Been like family ever since
07:15Did he have any enemies that you know of?
07:17He had a bad boy image from the show, but he was actually sweet
07:20Winning kitchen wars must have been huge for him, how was he handling it?
07:24He loved it
07:25The fame, the fortune, it was everything he ever dreamed of
07:29Except
07:30Except what?
07:31I think he might have had some financial troubles
07:34What do you mean?
07:35When my dad passed away a few months back
07:38He left his restaurant to Wolf and me
07:40It was nothing fancy like Q3
07:41It was just a little diner in Queens
07:43But
07:44About two weeks ago he came to me asking if I would buy him out
07:48I tried to talk him out of it
07:50I even told him that I would loan him the money, but he refused
07:53In the end I gave in and
07:56I bought out his share
07:57For how much?
07:59$40,000
08:00Didn't he just win a lot of money on kitchen wars?
08:02Well, he put it all into the new restaurant
08:04I tried to tell him to hold some of it back, but
08:07He was an all or nothing kind of guy
08:12Jennifer, Wolf, we've scored your dishes
08:15And although it was very close
08:17Baltazar Wolf, you're the winner of Kitchen Wars New York
08:23Look at his face
08:25See how happy he is?
08:27He had no idea in eight months he'd be dead
08:30Well, the bank has a warrant so we should have his financials
08:33In a couple of hours
08:34He was having money troubles, we'll find out
08:36Becky
08:37Hey, how'd it go with the late night suit maker?
08:40You guys find him?
08:41Oh, we found him, alright
08:42In line at the airport with $5,000 cash in a suitcase
08:45And a one-way ticket to Ecuador
08:47Hmm, nothing says I'm guilty like an attempt to lead a country
08:50The next time you decide to go all Mr. Freeze on someone
09:05You should really clean up after yourself
09:07We found your bowls in the sink
09:09I don't understand
09:10We found you with a packed suitcase
09:13Plane tickets to Ecuador
09:15And $5,000 in cash
09:17That is not a crime
09:19I have a passport
09:20Which you were using to flee a murder
09:22Murder?
09:23Who do you think I killed?
09:25Your boss in the big white hat
09:27Wolf?
09:28Wolf's dead? How?
09:30Mr. Verdugo
09:31Sit down
09:32I did not kill anyone
09:35We know you came to see him last night
09:37Yes
09:38I came back to the restaurant last night
09:41My sister, she's in Ecuador
09:43She's very sick, she needs surgery
09:45I came to ask Chef if I can go home
09:48$5,000 is a lot of money
09:50Where did you get it from?
09:51Chef Wolf gave it to me for my sister's operation
09:55Told me it was crazy, but he insisted
09:57He said, go take care of your sister
10:00Look, five years, I've worked with Wolf
10:02He's my friend
10:03I didn't kill him
10:05And he just happened to have five grand on him
10:07Yes, in his backpack
10:09Look, I promised to pay him back
10:11He had that much money in a backpack
10:13Yeah, he had more, a lot more
10:15Look, I told him he shouldn't carry so much cash
10:18He could get...
10:20Killed
10:22There was no backpack at the scene
10:24Maybe that angry lady stole it
10:25Maybe she's the one who killed Wolf
10:27What angry lady?
10:28One of his girlfriends
10:29I left when she came
10:30When?
10:31After midnight, around 2.45
10:33Do you know her name?
10:35No, but she came into the restaurant all the time
10:37Can you describe her?
10:42So the kitchen staff confirms that Wolf did have a backpack with him yesterday
10:46And the only reason that they noticed it is because he didn't usually carry one
10:49Hmm, so Domingo was telling the truth
10:52Well, just because the backpack exists doesn't mean that the rest of his story is credible
10:56Nobody's telling the truth about the money
10:58Wolf's financials came in
10:59There's nothing out of the ordinary over the last six months
11:02But then, bam, two weeks ago withdraws all his savings from his checking account
11:07$15,000
11:08Two weeks ago
11:09That's about the time that Wolf asked his foster brother David to buy a share
11:14Yeah, as soon as that check cleared he withdrew that $40,000 in cash
11:17On the day he was killed
11:19Why would someone need $40,000 in cash?
11:21Well, nothing legal
11:22You know, Madison said that he would disappear every day between 3 and 5 p.m.
11:26Maybe where he went had something to do with the money
11:29Why don't you guys talk to the kitchen staff again and let's look into his credit card receipts
11:33Maybe we can figure out where he was going
11:36And where are we on the phone records?
11:38Well, the SIM card was damaged from the freezing
11:40Text seeing what they can salvage
11:41And we subpoenaed his phone records from the provider
11:43Waiting on those
11:44Hmm, looks kind of sketchy to me
11:49What?
11:50That's Sandra
11:52She and her husband are in every Saturday
11:54Husband?
11:55Yeah
11:56Domingo hinted at a romantic relationship
11:58Which has to violate several health cards
12:01Do you remember their last name?
12:03No
12:04No, but her information should be in the reservation book
12:06How you holding up?
12:08Huh
12:09I'm still reeling
12:10And I have no time to grieve
12:12Wolf was a friend, but like it or not
12:14I have to interview replacement chefs
12:16I still haven't found that customer slip for that cake Wolf was making
12:19And I have this charity event tomorrow night at Rocco Despirito's
12:23If I don't show up, people will think Wolf's death means the death of Q3
12:27Hey, maybe you should come with me
12:29I could use the moral support and maybe we can catch up at all times
12:33You know, I would love to
12:34It's just I have something
12:36Something?
12:41You know, I'm available for moral support
12:43And I've been dying to try out Rocco's new place
12:45A charming rockin' tour
12:47That's just what the doctor ordered
12:48Thank you, Rick
12:50Unless that's a problem
12:51No, not a problem
12:54Oh, here it is
12:55Sandra Myers
12:57What was the exact nature of your relationship with Wolf?
13:03Food turns me on
13:05Not as a sex toy, but the sensual act of cooking
13:08When I saw Wolf on Kitchen Wars
13:10How passionate he was with his ingredients
13:12I fell in lust
13:14My husband and I were the first through the door
13:18I slipped in my number
13:20Did you always have sex in the restaurant?
13:23Well, Wolf did as well
13:24Well, Wolf did as well
13:28And your husband never suspected?
13:30When he's not working nights at the ER
13:32He's conked out on sleeping pills
13:34I could shoot porn in my living room, he'd have no idea
13:39Are you gonna tell my husband?
13:40You're the primary suspect in a murder investigation
13:43Your husband is the least of your worries
13:45So what happened that night, Sandra?
13:47The sex turned deadly?
13:48No, there was no sex
13:50Two weeks ago, Wolf called me out of the blue to tell me we were through
13:54Two weeks?
13:55I tried calling him, but he wouldn't call me back
13:57So I went to the restaurant last night to find out why
13:59And?
14:00He said he was done screwing around
14:02That it was time to grow up
14:04Turn over a new damn leaf
14:06And that clearly made you angry
14:08Sure
14:09But I didn't kill him
14:11Mrs. Myers, you cheat on your husband on a regular basis
14:14Why should we believe you?
14:15Ask the doorman at my building
14:17I was back before 1.30
14:19When I left the restaurant at 1.15, Wolf was alive
14:23Yo
14:24Doorman confirms Mrs. Myers' story in the hospital
14:27Has Dr. Myers logged his work in the graveyard shift
14:29Well, her lying cheating wife was telling the truth
14:31Yeah, but until we figure out Wolf's time of death
14:33She's still our best suspect
14:35Hey, so I ran down Wolf's daily disappearance
14:38His credit card records show a charge at Café Rex
14:42Every day the last couple of weeks around 3.45
14:45Café Rex? That's on second in the 70s
14:49What was Wolf doing there?
14:50Why don't you guys head up and see if he was meeting with anyone
14:54Beckett
14:56Okay, we'll be right there
14:58Come on, Perlmutter found something
15:00How's our corpuscle?
15:03Thawing nicely
15:04In spite of the obvious challenges
15:07I found enough unaffected tissue to narrow time of death to between 2 and 4 a.m.
15:12Well, that knocks out both Domingo and Mrs. Myers
15:15Once we got him under the heat lamp, some bruising began to present
15:20First, there were significant contusions along his back and legs
15:26Wow, this looks like a pretty bad beating
15:29Did this happen the night of the murder?
15:31Yeah, these bruises are at least 2 weeks old
15:33Bruising on the body, $40,000 in cash, sold his shares in the diner to his foster brother
15:39All within the same 2 week time span
15:41I also found a fresh bruise from a blow he suffered just before he was frozen
15:46I went through the crime scene photos from CSU and the bruise pattern matches one of the objects from the kitchen
15:53Rotary evaporator, it's a tool that chefs use to distill and extract flavors from
15:59And again, you don't care
16:02Yeah, we didn't find any prints on the body of the appliance
16:05But there were some partials on its shattered glass too
16:08Now the guys in the lab were able to humpty-dumpty together a usable print
16:11Didn't match any of the restaurant employees
16:13But when they ran it through APHIS
16:16They got a hit
16:17Jennifer Wong
16:19No
16:20Who's Jennifer Wong?
16:22You knew I was using the veal
16:23So you ran straight to the butcher and bought everything he had
16:26You think I care about sabotaging you?
16:29I can cook you off the show with one hand tied behind my back
16:32You lost because you cook with your head
16:34I cook with my soul
16:36He's a liar! He stole that recipe from me!
16:44I swear to God if Wolfens I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch!
16:52He stole that recipe from me!
16:54I swear to God if Wolfens I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch!
17:00Sounds like you and Mr. Wolf had quite the rivalry
17:02What about it?
17:03Oh come on!
17:04Had to be difficult watching him walk away with that $100,000 prize
17:08Not to mention the publicity and fame that catapulted his career
17:11And it's not hard to believe that the resentment was building up over the past couple of months
17:15Until the pressure finally put you over the edge
17:18Wait, you think I killed him?
17:21That rivalry between Wolf and me?
17:24It was just an act
17:26An act?
17:27I thought that Kitchen Wars was a reality show
17:30Emphasis on show
17:32And win or lose you want people to remember your name when it's over
17:35That's how you build your brand
17:37And who doesn't remember a great villain?
17:39Exactly
17:40Hey, we made for great TV
17:42Why do you think they kept us on until the final two?
17:44But then he won
17:45Personally I was shocked that your oven-roasted pork belly glaze didn't take top prize
17:49That was just...
17:51Look, we both won
17:53Yes, Wolf got his own restaurant
17:55But I secured financing for a catering company and I'm doing great
17:58Well then if you didn't kill him maybe you can explain why we found your prints at the scene
18:03They were all over the appliance used to bludgeon Mr. Wolf to death
18:08Are you talking about the rotary evaporator?
18:11My prints are on it because it's mine
18:14I loaned it to him the day before yesterday
18:16He said he needed it to make something really special
18:18Wait, you saw him the day he died?
18:20He called me early in the morning and asked to meet
18:22Was he carrying a backpack?
18:25Yeah, he seemed in a rush
18:29Like he had a lot of things to do and not a lot of time to do it
18:32I gave him the evaporator and then he said he had a meeting in Midtown
18:36He asked me to drop him off on my way home
18:38And where was that?
18:39The northeast corner of 47th and Lex
18:41One of those big office buildings
18:45Jennifer's employees confirmed that she had a catering job in the Hamptons
18:49And that she stayed the night
18:51Well, just as well, our culinary talents would have been wasted in a prison kitchen
18:56Hey you guys, I need you to check on the tenants at this address
19:00423 East 47
19:02Apparently Wolf visited someone there the day that he died
19:04And he had the backpack with him
19:06Hey, how'd things go uptown?
19:07Well, we talked to every waiter, busboy and manager at Cafe Rex
19:10They remember Wolf coming in and said he sat at the same table out front
19:14But he was always alone
19:15What was he doing?
19:16Sipping tea, staring
19:18Sometimes he ordered the brioche
19:19That's right
19:20That's it
19:21Every day for the last two weeks
19:22Why would he go all the way to the Upper East Side just to sit there alone?
19:25Maybe he had a rendezvous with Destiny and it stood him up
19:28Which reminds me
19:29What color shirt do you think Madison would like on me?
19:35Going out with Beckett's old friend?
19:39That's a mistake
19:40Well, Beckett didn't seem to mind
19:42Oh, honey
19:43Do you want me an apple?
19:44No
19:45Stop frowning, Alexis or your father will freeze your face like that
19:50I didn't have to
19:51I just found out I have to study slides with a microscope for my AP Chem exam
19:55I can't take a microscope to the Hamptons
19:57Well, so you're canceling your trip?
19:59Well, when I'm studying I want to be on the beach with the girls
20:03And when I'm on the beach I feel guilty for not studying
20:05Well, don't look at me
20:06I'm from the Have Your Cake and Eat It 2 school of decision making
20:10I say Dupe
20:11Or maybe by this weekend I'll figure out a way to take this tank of liquid nitrogen and build it into a weather machine
20:21I'll make it rain, your friends will have to cancel their trip, you won't have to choose, and then we can take over the world
20:31Not helpful
20:33But evil
20:35Shouldn't you be getting ready for your date?
20:37Oh, shouldn't you be back home with Chet?
20:39Oh, you're right
20:42Hey!
20:44I froze time
21:05But we are always very grateful for cookies
21:10Well, I'm glad
21:12Hey, Bex
21:14Do you remember when we used to like the same guy in English as us?
21:17Yes
21:18Brent Edwards
21:19Yes
21:20He was very hot
21:21Yes
21:23Do you also remember what happened senior year?
21:27Uh, yeah, why?
21:29This date
21:30With Rick
21:32If you guys are at all...
21:33Castle?
21:34No, no
21:36Are you sure?
21:37Because I really wouldn't want Brent Edwards to happen all over again
21:43Trust me, it's not
21:45Okay, great
21:47So have fun tonight
21:49Thanks
21:50You too
21:51Hey
21:52Hey
21:56Hey
21:57Uh, so you ready?
21:58No
21:59My lieutenant just brought down the hammer
22:01Fives have to be written up before shift end tonight, I'm sorry
22:05Uh, no
22:06Uh, you know, I have...
22:07I have...
22:08I have some paperwork to do as well
22:09So maybe another time
22:11Well, thing is, I kinda had my heart set on tonight
22:15You like Chinese?
22:17It's my favorite
22:18Great
22:19Wait here
22:28Madison, I'm so sorry
22:30It's a tragic loss
22:31And Wolf was a good friend
22:33Yeah, he really admired you
22:35Thanks for coming tonight
22:36It means a lot to me
22:37Rocco, this is Richard Castle
22:39I ought to punch you in the face, Castle
22:42For killing Derek Storm like that
22:44Oh
22:46He was my favorite character
22:48But I'll admit, he waves fun too
22:50Based on my friend Kate Beckett
22:52I should introduce you
22:53You guys might hit it off
22:55I'd like that
22:56If she's half as interesting in person as she is on the page
22:59I think I like her already
23:01Well, you guys have fun, enjoy your dinner
23:02Thanks
23:04Fabulous chef
23:06You...
23:07You really think he's Beckett's type?
23:09Well, Beck's never had a type
23:11She dated a guitarist in a grunge band
23:13A med student
23:14And this French guy
23:15That I'm pretty sure
23:16He was some kind of royalty
23:19Who is she seeing now?
23:21Oh, just...
23:22Some guy
23:23I don't see it going anywhere
23:30This food's amazing
23:32Where did you get it from?
23:34Hung's at China Sea
23:36Oh, get out, Hung's doesn't deliver
23:38Well, he delivers to me
23:40Mr. Hung had this medal
23:43A 15th century Chinese medal
23:44Ming Dynasty
23:45It was passed down through the generations, right?
23:47Well, last year it was stolen
23:49Along with some cash and some kitchen appliances and whatnot
23:52The only thing that mattered to Mr. Hung
23:54was the medal
23:56So I got it back for him
23:58And because I delivered, now so does he
24:00Really?
24:02Hmm
24:04Well, then maybe I should get you to figure out why our victim was carrying a backpack full of cash
24:08Well, maybe you should
24:10You know, I got some guys on the street
24:12If you want, I can put out the feeler, see if anybody knows anything
24:15Yeah, sure
24:16Excuse me, detectives
24:17Hey guys
24:19Wow, nice candle
24:20Come on in
24:21What'd you find?
24:22Well, we checked the sign-in log at that building where Jennifer Wong dropped off Wolf
24:27Turns out he was seeing a guy named Simon Haim, Esquire
24:31He was delivering a backpack full of cash to a lawyer?
24:33Well, according to Mr. Haim, Wolf had the backpack in his possession
24:36But he never opened it and he never mentioned the cash
24:38But he did mention your high school friend, Madison
24:40Apparently Wolf wanted out of his contract
24:43He wanted to leave the restaurant and he wanted his investment back
24:46But the restaurant just opened, why would he want to leave?
24:48Creative differences
24:50But Ms. Keller refused to release him, Wolf was planning to sue
24:53She built the restaurant on his reputation
24:56If he left, she would have lost everything
24:59So what happens to Q3 now that Wolf is dead?
25:02She had business insurance on him
25:04So with the payout, Madison gets the restaurant, free and clear
25:07Wolf's death protects him from potentially losing two million dollars in real estate, appliances and fixtures
25:12Sounds like motive to me
25:23Mmmmm
25:29This
25:31Oh my God
25:33This caviar parfait is delicious
25:35Trade you some of my black truffle risotto with crispy shrimp.
25:39Oh, well, how can I resist?
25:42Oh, yes.
25:44Mmm.
25:45Oh.
25:46Mmm.
25:47That is good.
25:48I'm sorry to interrupt.
25:49Hey.
25:50Becky, what are you doing here?
25:54I need to ask Madison a few questions.
25:56No, we'll pull up a chair.
25:58Not here.
25:59Downtown.
26:05You realize Madison and I weren't halfway through our tasting menus when you stomped in there like the fun police?
26:09What part of her being a suspect in a murder investigation do you not get?
26:13The waiter was about to come out with the duck confit on crew.
26:16Rocco de Spirito's pumpkin gnocchi.
26:18Not to mention the langoustine, the lavender creme brulee that was coming up,
26:21and don't even get me started on the wine parries.
26:23I won't.
26:24I'm just saying, you could have been more civilized and allowed us to finish our meal.
26:28Uh-uh.
26:29You can watch from the observation room.
26:32And now-
26:33And now you're pinching me?
26:35You were just giggling over the risotto with our suspect.
26:39Which was to die for, by the way.
26:44Okay.
26:45Next time I'm hitting on a guy you like, come clean with me before I go out with him
26:49so you don't have to arrest me to break up the date.
26:51Madison, that's not-
26:52No, no, no, no, no.
26:53I get it.
26:54You're hot for castle.
26:56You want to make little castle babies.
26:58Why couldn't you just be honest?
26:59What?
27:00He can hear us.
27:01Oh, really?
27:02Yes.
27:03Rick's behind the mirror?
27:04Yeah.
27:05Oh.
27:06Like on TV?
27:08Hey there!
27:09Sorry we missed the pumpkin gnocchi.
27:14They're really good.
27:16I have to tweet about this.
27:20Madison, put the phone down.
27:25Sit.
27:26You lied to me.
27:27You knew that Wolf wanted out of Q3 and you knew that he was going to sue you.
27:40You know about that?
27:41Yeah, I know about that.
27:42Okay, but I didn't lie.
27:43I just neglected to say anything about it.
27:45Look, you know how hard it is to open a restaurant in Manhattan?
27:50If word got out that Wolf was trying to leave, it would have ruined me.
27:54But if he dies with your insurance policy, you make out just fine.
27:58So what happened, Maddie?
27:59Did you guys get into a fight?
28:00Did you throw something at him?
28:01Because I remember you throwing things at people when you got angry.
28:04Oh, come on!
28:05Don't you people have rules about using personal knowledge against suspects?
28:08Maddie, you better start being straight with me.
28:10Facts, I didn't kill him!
28:15Two weeks ago, Wolf tells me he wants out of the restaurant biz.
28:18Completely out of nowhere.
28:20Says he's trying to change his life.
28:22Now I'm thinking he's being poached.
28:24So I start offering better equipment, a bigger piece in the business, whatever he wants.
28:29He insists he's really getting out and that I can't change his mind.
28:32It was like something changed in his life.
28:36No, I was gonna let him out of his contract.
28:39I just needed time to find a new chef.
28:42But I swear, Bex, I didn't kill him.
28:50You don't really think she did it, do you?
28:51Well, until I can rule her out, it doesn't matter what I think.
28:54She has motive.
28:55Yeah, she also has an alibi which you're conveniently ignoring.
28:58I'm not ignoring, I'm just rechecking.
29:00I asked her to stay in town in any case.
29:03Yes, I know, I heard.
29:05Everything.
29:11Uh, so, uh, selling his steaks in the restaurant.
29:14A backpack full of cash.
29:17That sounds like Wolf was getting ready to run.
29:19Yes, but from what?
29:20Hey guys.
29:21Hey, I'm so sorry to cut out on you earlier.
29:23No worries, gave me time to put the word out on your Vic.
29:26And?
29:27Well, a guy I know runs paper for a local bookmaking ring.
29:30Turns out he's a bit of a foodie.
29:32He clocked Wolf doing business with the bookie at Two Bridges Barred.
29:35Apparently, your boy likes to bet big.
29:37He was in deep with the bookie.
29:39That explains the beating in the cash.
29:41Does this bookie have a name?
29:43Wesley Slade?
29:44Detective Beckett, NYPD.
29:46We're investigating the murder of Balthazar Wolf.
29:49Never heard of him.
29:51Really?
29:52Well, given the marks on his body after the beating your boys gave him, I think you have.
29:56What happened?
29:57He getting too deep with you, so you had to take him out?
29:59You really think I'm gonna tell my business to a cop?
30:02It's either that or you face murder charges.
30:04That can't be good for business.
30:09All right.
30:10Let's say, hypothetically, that I made book for him.
30:14And let's say, for the sake of argument that he owed.
30:17A lot.
30:18How much, hypothetically?
30:1925,000, which maybe he couldn't pay.
30:23So maybe he needed some encouragement.
30:25Maybe the encouragement went too far.
30:27Well, maybe it was the right amount.
30:29So he paid what he owed and went his merry way.
30:32When?
30:33The day he died, he comes with a backpack full of cash,
30:36puts 25,000 on the table, and asks for his ring back.
30:39His ring?
30:40What kind of ring?
30:41Diamond engagement ring.
30:43Why'd you have it?
30:45Hypothetically.
30:46A couple of weeks back, he sent my guys to collect.
30:50Didn't have the money.
30:51Gave him some sob story about a woman,
30:53how he spent everything he had on a diamond ring.
30:55So when my guys go to give him some encouragement,
30:59oh, what did they find?
31:00Nice diamond ring.
31:01Nice.
31:02Must have sent him back 10, 15 grand on my money.
31:06So you guys took it for collateral?
31:08No.
31:09As incentive.
31:10And it worked.
31:12I got my money, he got his ring, and he goes home alive.
31:16Hypothetically.
31:21An engagement ring makes perfect sense.
31:23That's why he broke things off with Mrs. Myers.
31:25That's why he took 15,000 out of his account two weeks ago.
31:28Well then where is it?
31:29He went to the restaurant right after.
31:31We didn't find it at the crime scene.
31:33Unless we did find it, and we just didn't know it.
31:36He's just straight back.
31:38You remember what Spike was saying about why Wolf was staying late?
31:41Yeah, he was finishing off that cake.
31:42The cake?
31:43The cake?
31:44With a heart-shaped mold on it.
31:48He wasn't running away.
32:02He was going to propose.
32:03But to who?
32:04And why hasn't she come forward yet?
32:05Maybe she's scared.
32:06Maybe she's in danger.
32:07Or maybe she killed him.
32:09Who puts an engagement ring inside a cake?
32:23It's romantic.
32:24Oh, it's a choking hazard.
32:27I swear, men act as though there's some cosmic reward for crazy proposals.
32:32What a woman really wants is a man down on one knee, tears in his eyes, ring in his hand.
32:38My proposal to Gina was very romantic.
32:41A balloon ride is lovely, but not in February.
32:45Her hand was shaking so much from the cold it was difficult getting that ring on.
32:49It was a sign.
32:50Mm-hmm.
32:51Mm-hmm.
32:53So have you decided?
32:55No.
33:01Again, David, I am so sorry for your loss.
33:05Hey.
33:06Shed any light?
33:08So David said that he wouldn't have believed it unless I had shown him the ring.
33:12He had no idea who Wolf was proposing to.
33:15Neither did anyone else in his life.
33:17The guy was in love with a ghost.
33:19Ooh.
33:20That'd be cool if it was actually a ghost.
33:22We're back through the phone logs from the restaurant and Wolf's cell.
33:25Every call is a comment for.
33:26What about the cafe uptown?
33:27The waitstaff all checked out.
33:29They're adamant that Wolf never met anybody there.
33:31How do you have a relationship with somebody without leaving any evidence?
33:34Maybe the ring wasn't his.
33:35Maybe he was holding it for a friend.
33:37No, it had to be his.
33:39Look at his behavior.
33:40He stopped sleeping around.
33:41He was paying off his debts.
33:42He sold the one thing in life he actually cared about just to get that ring back.
33:46There's only one reason a man cleans up his act.
33:49Yeah, but murder isn't the usual response to a proposal.
33:52Unless you've got something to lose.
33:54He did like married women.
33:55All right.
33:56Have CSU re-sweep his apartment.
33:58This girl spent any time there.
34:00She must have left some evidence behind.
34:02Hey, Maddie.
34:03Thanks for coming.
34:04I thought you said I was off the hook.
34:06Yeah, witnesses have you at the party until after the time of death.
34:09Then why am I here?
34:11Anyone ever offered you one of these?
34:13No.
34:14You?
34:16Not yet.
34:17I had no idea Wolf was even serious with anyone.
34:20Can you think of any girl that he was close to?
34:22Every time I saw him, he was with someone different.
34:25It's hard to believe he'd ever commit.
34:27The guy lived his job 24-7.
34:29It had to be somebody at the restaurant.
34:31Not necessarily.
34:32I fell in love with random women on the subway.
34:34Well, if you could think of anyone, call me.
34:36Yeah.
34:37And Bex, I'm sorry about lying to you.
34:41And I might have come down a little harder than I needed to.
34:45I fall in love with operators on the phone.
34:47Even asked one out a couple years ago, but she was in Bangladesh.
34:50Yeah, I guess I wasn't seeing you as a cop, but as my friend.
34:55You know, the girl who stole her mom's makeup to give me a makeover?
34:59The first who told me that kissing boys might involve some tongue.
35:03Oh, yeah.
35:04I bought a falafel from the stand every day for two months just so I could talk to a falafel girl.
35:08Yeah, you mean like Deming showing up every morning for coffee just to run into Beckett?
35:12What?
35:13The one who dragged me to stand outside Brent Edwards' brownstone for hours on end just to catch a glimpse of him through the window.
35:31Through the window.
35:33Wolf wasn't going to Cafe Rex to meet his girl.
35:37He was watching her out the cafe window.
35:39That's why there were no phone calls.
35:40He was trying to gather up the courage to propose to her.
35:44So that's the story with the clearest view from the cafe.
35:50Either our mystery girl works here or Wolf is really into women's clothes.
35:57Maybe it's him.
35:59Maybe that's Wolf's big secret.
36:02That's not his secret.
36:04She is.
36:06That's his foster brother's girlfriend.
36:08Yep.
36:10Well, it definitely made proposing tricky.
36:20I don't understand.
36:22Why am I here?
36:23How well did you know Wolf, Cecily?
36:25He was like family.
36:27So you knew him for a long time?
36:29Well, ten years ever since David's father hired me at his restaurant.
36:32Did the two of you ever...
36:35Why are you asking me this?
36:37Every day for the last two weeks, Wolf went to Cafe Rex, which is right across the street from where you work.
36:43You would just sit there and look out the window.
36:45Looking at you.
36:46Now why would he do that?
36:47I don't know.
36:49I think you do.
36:50In the last two weeks, Wolf made a lot of changes.
36:52He'd stop sleeping around.
36:54Paid off all his debts.
36:56And he bought this.
36:58For you.
36:59What makes a man, a self-professed bad boy, suddenly declare himself after ten years?
37:05Unless something changed.
37:07Cecily, these are your phone records.
37:10Four months ago you started calling your OBGYN regularly.
37:14You're pregnant.
37:16It's Wolf's, isn't it?
37:17No one was supposed to know.
37:18It was supposed to be my secret.
37:20But when David told Wolf we were pregnant, somehow he knew.
37:25He...
37:26He knew.
37:27God, you must think I'm awful.
37:30It's not my job to judge.
37:31I'm just here to get the truth.
37:33David's father had just died.
37:35So David went out of the country to bury his father in his hometown.
37:38Wolf came by.
37:40He held my hand and I remembered how much I loved him.
37:44That I'd always loved him.
37:46If you loved him so much, why stay with David?
37:49Because David doesn't leave.
37:51David doesn't sleep with every girl who walks by.
37:54We have no idea how hard it is to love someone knowing they're going to break your heart.
37:58If I couldn't trust him as a man, how could he be a father?
38:04I had to make a choice.
38:06Oh God, please don't tell David.
38:08Are you sure he doesn't already know?
38:10Where was he the night that Wolf was murdered?
38:12At home.
38:13With me in bed.
38:15All night.
38:18Oh God.
38:19What?
38:20I had been having trouble sleeping.
38:23So David gave me a pill, the kind the doctor said was okay.
38:28It was the only time he's ever given me a pill.
38:36Hey man, take him to the whole place.
38:39Yeah, lock him up.
38:41Come on.
38:42Let's go.
38:43He's not talking.
38:44Yeah, but he didn't have to.
38:45We found Wolf's backpack in their apartment, along with the extra cash.
38:48He also found a pair of his shoes with cracked soles from the liquid nitrogen.
38:51Can't imagine the betrayal he must have felt.
38:53Still not an excuse to kill.
38:57You ask me, she should have followed her heart.
39:00Left David gone with Wolf.
39:02You know, I can see the virtue in staying.
39:04I mean, guys like Wolf, they come in, they upset the apple cart.
39:09Of course he makes you feel alive, but eventually you know he's just going to let you down.
39:13So why risk it?
39:15Because the heart wants what the heart wants.
39:19Speaking of, I've got to get out of here.
39:23Madison?
39:24No, actually with everything going on, she said she didn't have time to date.
39:26She didn't tell you that?
39:27Mm-mm.
39:28So, I've got to get home.
39:30Alexis has a little head-heart problem of her own, and I want to be there for the decision.
39:35Case closed?
39:36Yes.
39:37Thank you so much for all of your help.
39:38Anytime.
39:39But you know, we never really finished our dinner.
39:40No more fives.
39:41You want to grab a beer and a burger at Ramy's?
39:42You know, I would love to.
39:43It's just, um...
39:44Can I take a rain check?
39:45Somewhere else you need to be?
39:46Yeah.
39:47How about tomorrow?
39:48Yeah, you're on.
39:49Okay.
39:50Okay.
39:51Oh!
39:52You decided to go away for the weekend with your friends.
39:53How about tomorrow?
39:54How about tomorrow?
39:55It's just, um...
39:57Can I take a rain check?
39:59Somewhere else you need to be?
40:01Yeah.
40:03How about tomorrow?
40:05Yeah. You're on.
40:07Okay.
40:15Oh!
40:17You decided to go away for the weekend with your friends.
40:19They're picking me up in an hour.
40:21You don't sound thrilled with your decision.
40:23I'm not. I feel awful about it,
40:25but either way, it's the same.
40:27Is there anything I can do to make it
40:29easier on you?
40:31Yes.
40:33You can order me to stay home.
40:35You serious?
40:37Alright.
40:39Alexis, your AP exams
40:43are far too important
40:45for you to go gallivanting around the weekend
40:47with your friends at the beach.
40:49You have to stay home and study, I insist.
40:53I think I called Lacey.
40:57Bye.
40:59Lacey?
41:01Yeah, I'm so sorry, but my dad
41:03just told me I can't go.
41:05I have to stay home and study
41:07for exams this weekend.
41:09Yeah, I know. I know. Can you believe it?
41:11Yeah, so much for having a cool dad.
41:13Dude.
41:15Just take lots of pictures and text them to me.
41:17Okay. Bye.
41:21You won't be thanking me
41:23when you see what I have planned for this weekend.
41:25One thousand and one ways to distract someone who's studying.
41:29We start by freezing ping-pong balls.
41:31Hey!
41:32Okay, guys.
41:33Let's remember to be sharp, respectful, and attentive.
41:35Okay? Have a good night.
41:37Hey!

41:42Oh, that's so great.
41:43Yeah.
