Short filmTranscript
00:19Mama said lift your head from the sieve of your hands
00:31Mama said lift your head from the sieve of your hands
00:40Mama said eventually this hurtin' will end
00:47Mama said lift your head back
00:47Mama said lift your head at the edge
01:11Mama said do the much need
01:12Oh, I'm offense
01:13Oh, but as I may, I may that's not
01:14sister's a Kṛṣṇa
01:14Or because I want to 캐�first
01:16Don't look at anything
01:17between 9 and 5.
01:18Well, early Bert gets the caller.
01:19Yeah.
01:23He was here before I was.
01:26Oh, finally.
01:27You are here.
01:27You are going to love this.
01:30Come on, show's over.
01:32Active crime scene.
01:33We appreciate your cooperation.
01:38Awesome, right?
01:39My first cold case.
01:41Come on, that's a little funny.
01:43Not so much funny as true.
01:45She's frozen solid.
01:47What was the temperature last night?
01:48Mid-40s.
01:49It wasn't exposure.
01:51Site's active.
01:52Boys tell me there's no way she was here last night.
02:02She's melting.
02:04Maybe we should be looking for Ruby slippers.
02:06Yeah, while you're at it,
02:07why don't you look for some flying monkeys?
02:09Maybe they left her here.
02:10So what do you got for me?
02:12There are pieces of plastic on her body
02:13from the garment bag.
02:14So she was inside the bag?
02:16Mm-hmm.
02:17Other than that,
02:17it's going to take a while for her to thaw.
02:19I can tell you she hasn't been here long.
02:22Maybe a couple hours.
02:23What about security?
02:25Chainlink.
02:26A pair of bolt cutters took care of that.
02:27Looks like our guy was hoping
02:28she'd disappear into the concrete pour.
02:30A few more feet and she would have.
02:32It's kind of odd,
02:33taking the trouble to freeze a body
02:34and then dumping it.
02:36We've got two personality types working here.
02:38A killer who freezes a body is a keeper.
02:41He wants a souvenir.
02:42But a guy who dumps a body?
02:43Doesn't want to be reminded of the crime.
02:47All right, I'm going to go check out the fence.
02:50Mm-hmm.
02:51Get a close-up of her face.
02:52I want to run her through missing persons.
02:55Oh, cool.
02:55Like on the Discovery Channel
02:56where you plug the photo
02:57into a facial recognition database?
03:00Yeah.
03:00Just like that.
03:02Yes.
03:04Welcome to the department's
03:06official facial recognition database.
03:10By hand?
03:12That's like life before TiVo.
03:14Maybe you could download an app
03:15on that phone with you
03:15or you could just...
03:17There are a lot of missing people.
03:19One way or another,
03:20we eventually find them.
03:21Some end up dead,
03:22some turn up in a double-wide
03:24with a stripper named Trixie
03:25outside Atlantic City.
03:27And some just don't turn up.
03:30Dana Sullivan.
03:31Mm-hmm.
03:32Her and her boyfriend leave a club.
03:34He's a couple steps behind her
03:35because he gets a call on his cell phone.
03:36She turns a corner
03:37just a few seconds before he does.
03:39And when he comes around,
03:40she's gone.
03:41The street's totally empty.
03:43No traffic, no nothing.
03:44In a matter of three feet,
03:46she literally just disappeared.
03:49People don't disappear
03:50off the face of the Earth.
03:51Sure they do.
03:52Quantum physics,
03:53alien abduction,
03:54Schrodinger's cat.
03:55One minute,
03:56you're getting a hot dog in the park,
03:57next you're fighting off sleaze stacks
03:59on the far side of a dimensional rift.
04:00I don't buy it.
04:01There's got to be an explanation.
04:03A story that makes everything make sense.
04:06Okay, Castle.
04:08What's our Jane Doe story?
04:09Well, I don't know how it starts,
04:12but I know how it ends.
04:13Frozen at a construction site.
04:15So, flying monkeys aside,
04:17what's the first question?
04:19How did she get there?
04:20Considering she was frozen solid,
04:22she had to have been kept pretty close.
04:23Not necessarily.
04:25Here is the site.
04:26Her body might not have been kept
04:27as close as you might think.
04:29It takes a long time
04:30for a frozen body to thaw.
04:31What, you freeze a body once
04:33for one of your books?
04:34No, but I cooked a turkey
04:36for Thanksgiving.
04:37It was a 28-pounder.
04:38It took all night to unfreeze.
04:39She's a person, Castle,
04:40not a turkey.
04:41Just making a point.
04:46Back it?
04:48Okay, I'm on my way.
04:51Laney's got an ID.
04:53You'll take care of these.
04:55Hey, Ryan, can you, uh...
04:57Thanks.
05:01Melanie Cavanaugh, 34, time of death.
05:04Turns out COD was blunt force trauma
05:06to her head.
05:09How'd you get her ID?
05:10Her fingerprints were in the system
05:11for misdemeanor drug possession.
05:14She doesn't look like a junkie.
05:16No, she's in pretty good shape
05:17considering.
05:18Judging the lack of frost
05:20and tissue degeneration,
05:21I'd say wherever she was stored,
05:22the temperature rarely varied.
05:24Like a freezer?
05:25Freezer do the job.
05:26How long has she been dead?
05:27Well, considering how long
05:28she's been like this,
05:30factoring decomposition,
05:32I'd say she probably was frozen
05:33within 24 hours of being killed.
05:36What do you mean how long
05:37she's been like this?
05:39According to the records I pull,
05:41this woman's been missing
05:42for over five years.
06:00She had a troubled childhood.
06:02Drug problems in her teens and 20s.
06:04I don't know.
06:06How do you know?
06:07I read the case file.
06:09She kicked the habit,
06:10met and married Samuel Cavanaugh.
06:12She worked in a restaurant.
06:13He managed to bank.
06:15They have two kids.
06:16When did you read the case file?
06:18When you were in the little girl's room.
06:20I was gone for like a minute.
06:21Speed reader.
06:22Something I picked up
06:23from my years stranded
06:24in the New York Public Library.
06:30Would you like the Eclipse notes
06:31or in this case,
06:32the castle notes?
06:34Castle,
06:34how do you know you didn't miss
06:35something important?
06:36Like after Melanie disappeared,
06:37her husband waited a day
06:39before he called the cops?
06:40A day?
06:40That doesn't make any sense.
06:42Until you get to the third paragraph.
06:44Before Melanie was married,
06:45she was what is now referred to
06:46as a runaway bride.
06:48According to her husband,
06:49she ran away a whole two weeks
06:50before their wedding day.
06:52Mm-hmm.
06:52Then she came back
06:53three years happily ever after.
06:55She disappears again,
06:56comes back,
06:58lathering to repeat three times,
07:00no indication of where she went.
07:02Well, she must have had a reason
07:03for running away.
07:04Hmm.
07:05I'm not judging her.
07:06Some people love the institution,
07:08hate the day-to-day.
07:10Are you one of those people, Castle?
07:13I guess I just haven't met
07:14the right girl.
07:18So, that's why her husband
07:19didn't call the cops.
07:21She'd done it before.
07:22Seemed reasonable
07:23to the detective at the time.
07:25There's no evidence of foul play,
07:26so the detective just closed the case.
07:31Five years,
07:32and her husband thought
07:33she just ran away.
07:34Guess it's time to tell him
07:35his runaway bride finally came home.
07:43Who is it?
07:44New York City Police Department.
07:49Can I help you?
07:50Detective Beckett,
07:51are you Samuel Cavanaugh?
07:53Who?
07:55Samuel Cavanaugh.
07:55Our records indicate
07:56that he lives here.
07:57You must have the wrong apartment.
07:59917?
08:00Yeah, but I live here,
08:01and my name is Roger.
08:03It's not Sam.
08:04Do you know any Samuel Cavanaugh?
08:05No.
08:06What's this about?
08:07How long have you lived here?
08:08About eight months.
08:10Well, it's been five years.
08:11You could have moved.
08:12Well, hey,
08:13I hate to break it to you,
08:14but if you're looking for the guy
08:15who lived here before me,
08:16he didn't move.
08:17He was murdered.
08:19Wait.
08:24Hey, Beckett.
08:25Yeah?
08:26Samuel Cavanaugh.
08:27Shot outside a grocery store
08:28about a year ago.
08:29Small caliber,
08:30double tap to the chest,
08:30wallet and valuables missing.
08:31Of course,
08:32Slump's wife disappears.
08:33Four years later,
08:33he gets shot in a muggy.
08:34Yeah, what are the odds?
08:36Long,
08:36unless they're connected.
08:38What, four years between murders?
08:40One's a popsicle,
08:41one just got popped.
08:42How could they possibly be connected?
08:43Maybe he and his wife
08:44got into something
08:45they couldn't get out of.
08:46Maybe something to do
08:47with her drug habit?
08:48So some scowl
08:49waits four years
08:50to finish the job.
08:50Maybe he finally figured out
08:52what happened to his wife
08:53and was about to go
08:54to the police with it.
08:56I don't believe it.
08:58Give me 250 pages,
08:59I bet I could make you.
09:02Resolving a murder castle,
09:03not writing a book.
09:04I would call it,
09:05a chill runs through her veins.
09:07Ooh, I liked it.
09:08Huh?
09:09Bam, said the lady,
09:10not the best seller for me.
09:12What happened to the kids?
09:13Living with Melanie's parents
09:14up in White Plains.
09:15Well, looks like
09:16I'm going to White Plains.
09:18Candace, the construction site,
09:19someone must have seen something.
09:21Yeah, the foreman said
09:21that they have a problem
09:22with the homeless at night,
09:23so I figured I'd go down there later
09:24and try to catch them
09:25at the site.
09:27Homeless, White Plains,
09:28homeless, White Plains.
09:31They're both kind of creepy.
09:34Hi.
09:36Whoa!
09:42Did I scare you?
09:43Mr. Davidson?
09:46Yes, ma'am.
09:47That's me.
09:49I'm Detective Kate Beckett.
09:52Is there somewhere we could talk?
09:54Yes, why don't we go inside?
09:57Girls don't play in the street, okay?
09:59All right, Grandpa will be out in a minute.
10:02I think we've both known for a while now
10:05that Melanie was not going to come home.
10:10What do you remember about the days
10:11leading up to her disappearance?
10:13Well, we talked to her a couple days before.
10:16My wife did, I mean.
10:17Everything seemed fine.
10:19She didn't indicate in any way
10:20that she was leaving?
10:21No.
10:23We're aware your daughter had some issues.
10:26That had nothing to do with what happened here.
10:28How do you know?
10:30You know, now you sound like the cop who first had the case.
10:32Convinced she'd run away, convinced she was still on drugs.
10:35But you didn't think that.
10:39Melanie wasn't the greatest of moms.
10:42But she loved her kids.
10:45She would have never left them.
10:47What about her husband, Sam?
10:50He thought it was drugs, too.
10:52You know he waited over a day before he reported her missing?
10:55She had run off before.
10:57Look, I'm not going to sit here and deny that.
10:59But if Sam thought our daughter was in trouble,
11:01why didn't he report her missing right away?
11:03Why didn't he call for help?
11:04Even if she'd gotten locked up, she'd been better off than...
11:07Oh, what the hell's the difference?
11:09I mean, the time to ask these questions was five years ago.
11:13But the cop who was on the case then didn't want to ask them.
11:17Sounds like they were pretty unhappy with the original investigation.
11:20Yeah, well, from where I stand, they had every reason to be.
11:23The guy whose case it was, you know him?
11:27No.
11:27Detective Sloan was before my time.
11:29He's still around?
11:30Well, if you count being a sheriff in Jersey, then yeah, he's still around.
11:35Melanie Cavanaugh.
11:37So she was finally found after all these years, huh?
11:40She wasn't found.
11:42Her body was.
11:44Oh.
11:46Sorry to hear that.
11:48You know, from the moment I took that case, I figured it was going to end bad.
11:52Her parents led us to believe that you were pretty sure that she'd run off.
11:56Her being found dead and her running off aren't exactly incompatible, not with her history.
12:02Her parents also believe your investigation never made it past her history.
12:05And I was on a missing person, not a murder.
12:07You have a dead body.
12:08All I had was a woman with a drug habit and a history of disappearing.
12:13And a husband who didn't report her missing for over a day.
12:17Don't you dare play Monday morning quarterback with me.
12:20Look, sweetheart, he cooperated.
12:22He voluntarily allowed CSU into their apartment.
12:26I mean, anything I asked, he did.
12:27Did you know he was murdered, too?
12:30Gunned down on the street over a year ago.
12:33Look, what do you want from me?
12:34We had reports of her in Philly with a meth head ex-boyfriend.
12:38I mean, it was what it was.
12:40But you didn't even go down to check it out.
12:42Didn't need to.
12:43Had reports.
12:44Right.
12:44From her husband's best friend, Charles Weiler.
12:48So?
12:49He's not exactly an impartial observer.
12:51The guy owned his own business.
12:52He had a family.
12:53He was a war vet.
12:54Saw no reason to doubt his word.
12:56Plus, Philly's a pretty long drive.
12:59She was only missing back then.
13:01No, Sheriff.
13:02She was already dead.
13:04You just didn't know it yet.
13:08I ever disappear?
13:09Make sure this guy's not on my case.
13:12I hate cops like him.
13:14Guys like him, things only make sense if they fit in a box.
13:17So they make them fit, and murderers go free.
13:20That what happened to your dad?
13:23My dad?
13:24I noticed your watch.
13:26It's your dad's, right?
13:28That's why you're wearing it?
13:33Beckett?
13:41You find a witness?
13:42Yeah.
13:43Homeless guy.
13:44A couple of bucks jogged his memory.
13:46Says this dented yellow truck pull up to the site.
13:48Heavy set guy pulls a large bag out of the back.
13:50When he comes out, he doesn't have the bag anymore.
13:52How'd you find this place?
13:54Guys remembered the word storage written on the side of the truck.
13:56We searched all the storage places on the west side, and found out this one uses yellow trucks.
14:00So who owns the trucks?
14:02According to the DMV, Albert Boland.
14:05What body?
14:06I don't know what you're talking about.
14:08A witness saw someone driving one of your yellow trucks and dumping the body.
14:12You're lying.
14:13No one saw.
14:13Ouch.
14:14Wow.
14:15Maybe you should have tried denying it, person?
14:17Let me help you.
14:19Melanie Cavanaugh, mother of two, wife of Sam Cavanaugh.
14:22Okay, look, I dumped her.
14:25But I swear I didn't...
14:26You didn't kill her, right?
14:27That's right.
14:28I found her.
14:29Uh-huh.
14:29I never even knew she was here.
14:30What do you mean here?
14:32Sixth floor.
14:34Renters were in arrears.
14:36We usually give them three months, and then we cut the locks and we sell their belongings.
14:39Only this time, all I find is a freezer plugged into a light outlet, which, by the way, is totally
14:44illegal.
14:44You didn't think it was illegal to store a dead body in a freezer?
14:47You think I knew?
14:48When I opened it up, I nearly had a heart attack.
14:51You could have called the cops.
14:53So I could make the front page of the ledger?
14:54Yeah, that's good for business.
14:55What if it's a mob hit?
14:57I mean, I got a family.
14:58So did she.
14:59Oh, so you find her.
15:02Next logical step, dump her to construction site?
15:06I know a guy who works over there.
15:08So when I find the body, I figure that's the place, right?
15:12Show us where you found her.
15:28Five years in there.
15:30Nobody deserves that.
15:32How'd they make payments for the unit?
15:34Check?
15:34Code to code?
15:36Cash.
15:37Every six months.
15:38But like I said, there were three months overdue.
15:40What's the last payment at two months after her husband was killed?
15:43You have to make payments when you're dead.
15:47That camera in your office, you got footage of the guy who made payments?
15:51That was nine months ago.
15:52We keep maybe two weeks at a time.
15:55Looks like Sloan was right.
15:56Sam Cavanaugh didn't have anything to do with it.
15:58Well, if not Sam, then who?
16:18You know we have air conditioning.
16:20Hmm.
16:21I'm just trying to figure out why someone would put a dead body in a freezer.
16:26Is this a Nikki Heater Detective Beckett question?
16:29Beckett.
16:30That's right.
16:31The Nikki Heater thing was about incinerating a body and a self-cleaning oven.
16:34Mm-hmm.
16:35I mean, you put things in a freezer to keep them for later, but once they're there, you rarely ever
16:40go back.
16:41If I was putting a body in a freezer, it'd be because I was trying to hide it.
16:45Until you stopped paying for the storage space.
16:47Did I stop or did something stop me?
16:54It's family moments like these I will never forget.
16:59With a good therapist, hopefully I will.
17:04Mr. Weiler?
17:05The detective investigating Melanie's disappearance said that you told him that she went to an ex-boyfriend in Philadelphia?
17:12No, I only told him what Sam told me.
17:14Sam told you?
17:15It's where she went before the wedding and a few times after.
17:18But you're not sure that's where she went.
17:20It's the only thing that made sense.
17:23Melanie was a good person, but Melanie was troubled.
17:28Sometimes when things got hard, she'd go out and score, you know?
17:32Come home high, accuse Sam of ruining her life.
17:35He'd given her everything.
17:38Do you remember the name of the boyfriend?
17:42Kevin Henson.
17:44If something happened to Melanie, he's the one who'd know what.
17:48Kevin Henson, Melanie's ex-boyfriend.
17:50He's serving a year for meth in South Jersey and went in just after the last payment was made on
17:54the storage unit.
17:54He stops payment, storage guy finds her body.
17:57Quite a coincidence.
17:58And he was also on the outside when her husband was whacked.
18:01You sound like he's worth a trip to South Jersey.
18:07You ever been in love, detective?
18:09I used to do crazy things.
18:11Like kill someone?
18:14Mel and I, when we were together, time just stopped.
18:19But even the first day, her and me, we both knew it was never going to work.
18:23God knows her folks were never going to let their little girl end up with some tatted-up addict.
18:30But sometimes, see?
18:33Sometimes when we are alone, together, sometimes we almost believe.
18:42She was going to leave Sam.
18:44That's why she came to see you.
18:46She found out he was having an affair.
18:55She thought he was going to leave her and get custody of the kids, you know, because of the drugs.
18:59She wanted me to go with her, take the kids, just disappear.
19:02So what did you do?
19:06Put her on a bus.
19:07You sent her away?
19:09She wanted, I couldn't give her.
19:12Checked into rehab the next day, I thought if I could get clean.
19:17That's what I was when she disappeared.
19:19The time I got out, she was dead.
19:20How could you be sure she was dead?
19:22She stopped calling.
19:24If she was alive, she would have called.
19:30An affair certainly explains a lot.
19:33Sam kills Melanie, or he and his lover kill Melanie together.
19:37Well, then who kills Sam?
19:38The lover.
19:39When Sam backs out after all she's done for him.
19:42It's not like she could go to police if she broke his promise.
19:44How do you come up with these things, Castle?
19:46I did not come up with this one.
19:47They did.
19:49Okay, you speak, Guy.
19:51If Sam had a lover, would his best friend know about it?
19:54Yes.
20:05Detective.
20:06You lied to us, Mr. Weiler.
20:07Excuse me?
20:08You don't think maybe it's relevant your buddy Sam had an affair right about the time Melanie disappeared?
20:12That was a long time ago.
20:14What's the point of dragging everybody through the mud?
20:16Haven't their kids been through enough?
20:17Don't they deserve some peace?
20:19What they deserve is to know what happened to their mother.
20:26Elizabeth Forte.
20:28Elizabeth Forte is her name.
20:30She worked with Sam at his bank.
20:36Mrs. Forte, I'm Detective Beckett.
20:38This is Rick Castle.
20:41Why am I here?
20:42Does the name Samuel Cavanaugh ring a bell?
20:47What about him?
20:50We found the body of his wife, Melanie.
20:54From the looks of it, she was killed somewhere around the time the two of you were having an affair.
21:00I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.
21:03Do you really want me to start digging around in your life, Mrs. Forte?
21:06Because that's exactly what I will do.
21:08I'll go through your old phone records, your credit card statements.
21:11I'll even talk to your husband if I have to.
21:14Please.
21:15Please don't do that.
21:17Gary doesn't know anything about it.
21:19Just walk us through what you know.
21:25I met Sam when I got transferred to the downtown branch.
21:28He was in new accounts.
21:31We were both pretty unhappy at the time.
21:33How long was the affair?
21:35Not long.
21:36Six months.
21:37Why did it end?
21:38I realized I love my husband.
21:40Thanks.
21:41No one ends an affair because they realize they're still in love.
21:43They end an affair because they're scared.
21:46Scared of taking it to the next level.
21:47Scared of being found out.
21:48Scared of ruining their life.
21:52So, tell us, Elizabeth.
21:54What were you scared of?
21:58Him.
22:02I was scared of Sam.
22:04Why?
22:05He started to ask me what I would do if he wasn't with his wife.
22:08If she wasn't in the picture anymore.
22:10And when was that?
22:12A few weeks before she disappeared.
22:14When I found out she was missing, I broke things off.
22:17He became angry.
22:18It got so bad that I had to transfer to another branch.
22:24I'm sorry.
22:25You had to, uh...
22:33Five years, Mrs. Forte.
22:36Five whole years.
22:39And you never came forward.
22:41What's it matter?
22:42Sam killed Melanie.
22:43He's dead.
22:44They're both dead.
22:45What's it matter anymore?
23:12How'd you do it, Sam?
23:33Run, Rebel.
23:35But you'll never defeat the forces of Vultar.
23:38Ah, death of Vultar!
23:40Death of the Vultar!
23:45I sense fear in you.
23:48You sense nothing.
23:52Has anyone seen my purse?
23:55Mom, we are totally doing battle on the Field of Honor.
23:58How old are you?
23:59Old enough to afford top-of-the-line laser tag.
24:03I'm dead!
24:04Mom!
24:06Now, Vultar will never rule the Omniverse.
24:09Well...
24:10Someone order food?
24:12No.
24:14Better check this out.
24:16I see.
24:18Hi.
24:21Who is it?
24:23Detective Beckett.
24:24Darling, are we entertained?
24:28Um...
24:28Dad!
24:29Yeah?
24:30Miners!
24:31Right!
24:33Come on in, please.
24:35Right?
24:35Don't you?
24:36Welcome.
24:36Thank you, house.
24:37You bet.
24:40you um you remember my mother martha and alexis of course hi yes hello
24:51can i make you a drink
24:58wow i feel like alfred in the bat cave for the first time
25:03hmm batman fan figures why similar origin stories loss of a loved one leads to a life of fighting
25:11crime yes well you are the multi-millionaire crime fighter
25:19that's uh where i outline my books
25:24it's funny looks a lot like our murder board yeah except mine's fake
25:38yeah something wrong
25:41i can't find it find what the answer it was sam everything fits it's a good ending yeah but
25:51without proof it's just a theory and that family those kids they need more than just a theory
25:57they need to know i need to know well you have an ending you want the rest you need
26:03to work backwards you need to finish the story you have an ending you have your killer
26:09you just have to put it all together with the facts at hand the facts
26:16fact
26:18they had two small children so based on police statements they didn't have a babysitter
26:22with him at work she would have had to have been with the kids the day she disappeared but sam
26:27said
26:27that she left later that night which the doorman was never able to cooperate so she was there and
26:32she never left then then she was murdered in the apartment yeah another fact he lived in manhattan and
26:39like most people in the city he didn't own a car so what is a good husband to do living
26:43in
26:44manhattan with his wife's body he can't leave in the apartment he can't walk out the lobby with
26:48it so the only question is how did you get the body to the storage unit she
26:59i could no
27:03you know what helps yeah sometimes when i'm trying to figure out how a character of mine does something
27:08i will walk the crime scene this one time i was trying to figure out how to throw someone off
27:12the
27:12empire state building and that movie sleepless in seattle had just come out so many lonely women
27:17approach me thinking i was there tom hanks i got laid castle point is you want to get into a
27:24killer's head go to where the killer was and see what problems he had to face field trip they told
27:33me
27:33he was shot in a mugging and now you're telling me he was killed here in my apartment not him
27:38his wife
27:39his wife what kind of family was this all right so you and i are married we are not married
27:46relax
27:46just pretend i don't want to pretend schedule like it okay if we're married i want a divorce
27:53you two like this all the time yes all right we're not married but they were let's say the doorman's
27:59that's right melanie gets home about four o'clock she'd have to make dinner for the kids
28:06then sam comes home
28:08banker's hours around six o'clock figure kids have already eaten so they're what um watching tv in the bedroom
28:15in my bedroom she's on a roll they have a fight about the affair about philadelphia just get heated and
28:21she
28:21turns her head he whacks her with something a pot or a pan bam fractures the skull it's over
28:29except the kids are still in the bedroom he's got to figure out a way of getting her out of
28:33the
28:33apartment without them seeing hallway bathroom you needed to buy time okay so he um he puts the body
28:43in the tub closes the door and tells the kids that mom went to the store which according to the
28:49case
28:49file the doorman was never able to substantiate okay so no car how does he get the body out of
28:54the
28:54apartment maybe he hailed the cab yeah maybe the cabbie and the doorman helped him stuff the body in the
29:00trunk how much do you tip for that these days the doorman castle i'm joking what if the body was
29:06already in the freezer when he took it out of the apartment freezer he didn't needed a truck
29:12in my building if you have something picked up or delivered you have to sign for it
29:16yeah here too delivery that big you have to sign the ledger the ledger the doorman's ledger downstairs
29:27yeah that's my name
29:31i know it was five years ago mrs marsh but the only delivery that day was to your apartment
29:35if you remember anything at all about the delivery i remember i had to go downstairs and sort everything
29:42out what do you mean sort everything out i told the doorman i never ordered a freezer but the guy
29:48brought it on up he loaded it on the freight elevator while i was talking to the doorman so what
29:53happened when you were downstairs i told the doorman they got the wrong apartment again and then by the
30:00time i got back upstairs the guy was gone does this have anything to do with that missing woman
30:06yeah it does yeah because i already told the other cop detective sloan i don't know his name but i
30:11told
30:12him everything same as you i don't get it sloan had that woman's report why did he just follow up
30:17he wasn't looking for the story he'd already written it
30:24that's the same kind of truck we saw inside charles wyler's store
30:27i must have a contract with him if you wanted some help with some heavy lifting who would you call
30:33your best friend
30:42we can trace the rental of the delivery truck to you mr wyler if you want i can bring the
30:46lady
30:46you delivered the freezer to in to identify you look i had nothing to do with what happened to
30:51melanie you lied about everything else why not about this i never had any reason to hurt her
30:55but sam did right i mean she kept going back to her ex-boyfriend how much can a guy take
31:06he called me that night he said
31:12he needed me to come over right away when i got there the kids were asleep and melanie was in
31:16the
31:16tub in a garment bag he said she came at him and he just snapped here's an idea instead of
31:27killing her why not just get a divorce you don't think i know how wrong this was why did you
31:32take
31:32the risk why did you move that body because he made a very bad mistake what about the kids their
31:39mom is dead if he goes to prison
31:44so you arranged for the truck he said it could never be traced back to him that's why we sent
31:50the freezer to
31:51the old lady that's why i rented out the storage space because we knew the cops would look at sam
31:56you made the payments sam couldn't take any chances he gave me the cash and i stopped by twice a
32:03year
32:03for five years
32:07seemed a lot easier than moving out
32:10why did you stop paying look i'm truly sorry about what happened to melanie
32:15but what was i supposed to do keep paying for the rest of my life
32:20the da will make sure of that mr weiler
32:32her body gets dumped because this guy weiler didn't pay a bill that's you can say it pretty
32:38cold ironic that such a selfish act ultimately revealed the truth there were people who knew
32:44the truth all along they just chose not to come forward still karma comes back and puts a cap in
32:50her husband's ass so all is right with the world
33:00i'm gonna go talk to melanie's parents let them know how this all shook out
33:05you wanna come the woman with the freezer delivery told us she talked to a cop
33:11yeah slow only he didn't list her name in his report
33:14he didn't feel that it was important after all he didn't believe he was looking at a murder
33:18right so if you're not investigating a murder why would you talk to the neighbor about a freezer delivery
33:29this must be some freezer
33:31you mentioned a police officer mrs marsh i know it's been five years but i never said it was five
33:36years ago when did he come see you last year sometime i remember thinking why is this cop asking
33:42me questions about a freezer i never ordered do you remember anything about the man who came to see you
33:46uh he was older uniform no plain clothes like you he had gray hair and he walked with a limp
33:56ben davidson melanie's dad
34:08you could just leave it like this
34:20that's the difference between a novel and the real world castle
34:25cop doesn't get to decide how the story ends
34:52detective beckett so i'm gonna have to take you with me down to the station who is it honey
35:00what is it
35:01so i'm here because i question a woman about a freezer not any freezer mr davidson the freezer
35:20that your daughter's body was stored in
35:25for the moment let's let's assume what you say is true
35:30what's the charge if mrs marsh's answer led to sam's death then the charge would be murder
35:38i kept going over everything sam said everything he claimed happened that night
35:45until i came to the same conclusion that you both apparently did
35:49that melanie never left her apartment alive
35:52mrs marsh's answer is merely confirmed what i already knew
35:56that your son-in-law was a killer
35:59if you had figured out what sam had done
36:02why not just go to the police he would have gone to prison for the rest of his life
36:05if he'd been convicted
36:07they didn't have a body at the time remember
36:11his lawyers would have put melanie on trial
36:13not him
36:14so you took matters into your own hands
36:20you could certainly understand how a father might want to
36:25how he might follow his daughter's murderer one dark night when he was sure no other people
36:30would be around
36:32how he might confront him with a gun he brought back from the war
36:37might even promise forgiveness in exchange for the truth
36:44and hearing his admission
36:49be overcome with rage
36:53every time he brought the girls to see us
36:57i watched a little piece of my wife die
37:01a visit from your grandkids should be life-affirming
37:04not a reminder of how your only child was murdered
37:14killing him wasn't the answer
37:18i never said i killed him
37:21i said a father might be justified
37:28police told me sam was shot in a robbery
37:31and without evidence
37:33it'd be a little chance that his killer would ever be brought to justice
37:41so i guess we'll find out if that's really true
37:49i'd like to see a lawyer if i could
38:04no sweetie i just wanted to make sure i said goodnight
38:07you got it strawberry happy face pancakes on me
38:10later
38:14Alexis missed me
38:17how did you know
38:18it's about any sense
38:24by the way it was my mother
38:26not my father
38:33we were supposed to go to dinner together
38:35my mom my dad and i and she was gonna meet us at the restaurant
38:39but she never showed
38:42two hours later we went home
38:45and there was a detective waiting for us
38:47detective raglan
38:54they found her body
38:57she had been stabbed
39:00a robbery
39:03no
39:07she still had her money and purse and jewelry
39:12and it wasn't a sexual assault either
39:16they attributed it to gang violence
39:19random wayward event
39:23so just like in melanie's case
39:26they couldn't think outside the box
39:29so they just tried to package it up nicely
39:32and the killer was never caught
39:37why do you wear the watch
39:42my dad took her death hard
39:45he's sober now
39:46five years
39:50so
39:52this is for the life that i saved
39:56and
39:59this
40:00is for the life that i lost
40:05so
40:07i guess your nikki heat has a backstory now castle
40:13i don't know
40:15i did kind of like the hooker by day caught by night thing
40:19but uh
40:21i guess a
40:23heavy emotional angle could work too
40:26well
