Short filmTranscript
00:00It's ringing in my ear from when I called you
00:04Got this tiny little fear that I won't see you
00:14Reading the paper? You are going to lose all of your wire, teen, hyper-texting, nano-gizmo street cred.
00:20I'm a rebel. I kick it old school.
00:22Is this?
00:23Cream to sugars.
00:24Thanks. Style section. Anything I need to know?
00:27The seventies are back.
00:29They're like the Highlander. They just won't die.
00:32Morning, Mother.
00:34You're dressed early.
00:35Ah, I have class.
00:36I believe that's a matter of some debate.
00:39At the new school, funny man.
00:42Look, it's not that I don't appreciate everything you've done, but the girl has to stand on her own two
00:48feet.
00:49What's the class?
00:50Introduction to life coaching.
00:52It's always been my desire to make a difference, whether on stage or off.
00:58I've had cars made.
01:00That's my item. It says I'm your client.
01:03Well, of course you are. Haven't I been telling you what to do your whole life?
01:08Oh, Dad, Julie Smith's father is back in rehab, so a spot opened up to chaperone the DC trip.
01:13Where is the... How did you know Julie's dad was back in rehab?
01:16Must be a wired teen hipernano thing. So what do you say?
01:19Sorry, kiddo, but with you away, my chaperoning needs reside here. Or are you forgetting what happened the last time
01:25we left her alone?
01:25So she had a little party.
01:27There were lime shards embedded in the walls.
01:30It was Cinco de Mayo.
01:32Exactly.
01:33I hear dead people.
01:35Who was murdered and was it gruesome?
01:40One victim, Donald Kendall, 18. He was a senior at Redding Prep.
01:46Someone's gonna miss prom night.
01:47Redding Prep?
01:48Private school on Park Avenue.
01:50No trust fund baby left behind.
01:52What's he doing in the boat?
01:53No idea.
01:55Dr. Parrish, how you doing?
01:56Feet are cold.
01:57So what do you got for me?
01:58Single GSW to the chest. Fairly large caliber. And from the lack of blood inside the boat, I'd say he
02:04wasn't killed at sea.
02:05Somebody moved him.
02:06He's got dirt and grass all on his chucky tees. Other than the post-mortem voyage, looks like a pop
02:11and drop. I'm guessing sometime late last night.
02:14Somebody dragged him here. He couldn't come from very far.
02:16Let's get uniforms down here to do a perimeter walk. Get him to go from the boats over there down
02:20to Fifth. And tell him they're looking for a blood pool and possible shell casings.
02:24Roger that.
02:25Esposito, did you check the boathouse?
02:27Not yet.
02:28So why the burial at sea?
02:30The Vikings believed that if you wanted to reach Valhalla, you needed a vessel.
02:34Gun-toting Viking, that's your theory?
02:36No, no, no. The odds are launched, they're dead with a sacrificial woman.
02:40And some booze and a good horse.
02:48Do you know what he would have been doing in the park?
02:50No.
02:51When was the last time you saw your son alive?
02:55Yesterday, when he left for school.
02:56Do you know maybe where he went after?
02:59He was usually with his friends.
03:00He didn't come home for dinner.
03:02Most nights, Donny ate out or at someone else's place.
03:05He hung out with a pretty tight crowd at Reading.
03:09They've all been together since grammar school.
03:11Donny used to have them over all the time.
03:14Only you moved recently.
03:15Donny?
03:16Yes, a few months ago.
03:18I was a partner at Lehman.
03:20When it went under, well, we took a big hit.
03:24That can be pretty tough on a teenager.
03:26You get used to a certain way of living, but it was no one's fault.
03:32Do you think Donny was depressed?
03:35Donny was strong.
03:37But to lose everything you have, we were just getting by.
03:43I'm very sorry for your loss.
03:48How did you know they moved?
03:50Either the Kendalls really like art or that shiny screen was meant for a much bigger apartment.
03:55I wonder how they could still afford Reading.
03:57You know the school?
03:57Oh, I've been kicked out of all of New York's finer educational institutions at least once.
04:02The irony is, now that I'm rich and famous, they all claim me as a lawman and want money.
04:06It is just so rough being you.
04:08My cross to bear.
04:09When the Kendalls said they couldn't afford tuition, we put Donny on scholarship.
04:13The family had been very generous in the past, and Donny was one of our brightest.
04:16We thought he'd do great things.
04:18Any idea what he would have been doing in Central Park at night?
04:21The truth is, all these kids are icebergs. We only see the tip.
04:25If you want to know the rest, you should probably talk to his friends.
04:30Amanda, Romy, Brandon, Spencer, and Max.
04:33It's strange seeing them without Donny.
04:37Thanks, sir.
04:39Breaking news, my parents are off to Abu Dhabi, so I'm in a rent-free zone.
04:43Come over tonight for the Dancing with the Stars results show.
04:46Bedding opens at 7.30.
04:48My dad's cask-aged 16-year-old single malt opens next.
04:53That was before they moved and everything.
04:55Were any of you with Donny last night?
04:57We hung out after school, but we all headed home around 5.
05:01Do you know of any reason he'd be in the park?
05:07Look, you guys, I went to York. I know all about honor codes and protecting your friends.
05:13You went to York prep?
05:14How's a Yorkie end up a cop?
05:15Things happen.
05:18Things like this.
05:20The point is that if you're trying to protect your friend's memory, I get it.
05:23But eventually the truth comes out.
05:26And the faster it does, the easier it'll be for us to help find who did it.
05:31His family had lost everything.
05:33Not that we cared, but we go out, you know?
05:36We always offered to cover him, but he couldn't handle it.
05:40He just kind of fell apart.
05:42Fell apart how?
05:47Guys, he can't get in trouble.
05:50He kind of got into drugs.
05:52If he had money problems, how'd he support a drug addict?
05:56He started dealing in the park.
06:01Classic tragedy.
06:02Prominent family falls into disrepute.
06:04Science spirals down.
06:06And bad things happen.
06:07Of course bad things happen.
06:08Otherwise it wouldn't be a tragedy.
06:10Did you know in the original Greek, tragedy literally means goat song?
06:13I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either.
06:15Whatever that first story was, I can't help but think.
06:17Bad things must have happened to that goat.
06:19Beckett.
06:21Mm-hmm.
06:23Yep.
06:24Okay.
06:27Of course.
06:28Sure, I'll be right there.
06:32Next time put it on speakerphone.
06:36I'm gonna want to see the pictures of those plaid skirts and knee socks.
06:38Excuse me?
06:39I've seen those York school uniforms.
06:42Okay, I want in on your poker game.
06:45I went to public school.
06:47I just told him that to make him feel comfortable.
06:49Well played, Miss Streep.
06:52Which Merrill, out of Africa or Mamma Mia?
06:55Hey.
06:56Hey.
06:56So a 911 call comes in last night, about 50 yards from here.
07:00Esposito's following up, but we found this.
07:02Looks like mud, it's actually blood.
07:04Figured he was sitting on top of the bench,
07:07takes one of the chest, falls back over here,
07:11and then he's dragged to the lake.
07:14So what's he doing sitting on a park bench at night?
07:16In my narc days, this area was pretty much an open bazaar,
07:19especially at night.
07:20Drug deal gone bad.
07:21Fancy private school education.
07:23Don't mean you aren't stupid.
07:24Neither does a career in narcotics.
07:26What are you talking about?
07:26This is a very large pool of blood.
07:29Laney said he was shot with a large caliber bullet.
07:31So if this kid is dragged when he's a fresh kill,
07:33wouldn't there be more of a blood trail?
07:36He was lying here for a while.
07:38Why would someone come back and move him?
07:40If it was a drug dealer, then he's gonna realize
07:42the cops are gonna think a drug dealer if they find a body here.
07:45Increasing his chances of getting caught.
07:47So?
07:48He drags the body over there just to try to throw us off.
07:54I don't know, Castle.
07:55A smart drug dealer?
07:57Why, everything evolves.
07:59Why not criminals?
08:02911 caller?
08:03Yeah.
08:04Mrs. Falsigno.
08:05Was walking a dog when she heard the shot last night.
08:07A few seconds later, she said she saw a white dude run past her.
08:09I got her looking through mug books of dealers arrested in that area.
08:13Hey, detective, get over here!
08:20See someone you recognize, Mrs. Falsigno?
08:22No, I miss your sparkling personality.
08:24Yeah, that's the guy I saw right here.
08:27You sure?
08:27What, do you want to get me a lie detector?
08:29That's him!
08:31Do you know why you're here?
08:33No idea.
08:35The arresting officer said that he saw you
08:38in a hand-to-hand sale of narcotics in the park.
08:42Must have me confused with somebody else.
08:44Really? Is that what you're giving me?
08:45That all drug dealers look alike?
08:48You were arrested with money and dope, Mr. Scoville?
08:51Given the fact that you have two prior felony sales on your sheet,
08:55you should probably come up with something better pretty quick.
08:57Why are you jamming me up like this?
08:58What were you doing in the park last night?
08:59What makes you think I was even in the park?
09:01A very reliable witness said she saw you running towards 72nd straight about midnight.
09:06Shouldn't she put him on his heels? Go straight for the shooting?
09:08It's not about putting him on his heels. It's about building a case for the DA.
09:13So? I was running the park somewhere.
09:15See? She just got him to put himself at the crime scene.
09:18So running isn't illegal, but shooting someone is.
09:21Shooting someone?!
09:23Do you recognize this person? Donnie Kendall?
09:26Never seen him before.
09:28Really? How come I'm getting the feeling that you're not being completely truthful with me?
09:32Watch this. Watch it now.
09:35I want immunity.
09:37For what?
09:38The mumps?
09:39You know what a three-time loser is, Scoville?
09:43It's a person facing a third felony conviction.
09:46Someone just like you, in fact.
09:50Alright.
09:51I seen him.
09:52Last night?
09:53Yeah, last night.
09:56Just placed him with the victim.
09:57You sell to him?
09:58No.
09:59You're a drug dealer. How'd you know him?
10:01You poker buddies?
10:06It was real nice chatting with you, Mr. Scoville.
10:10Maybe you can drop me a line in about 25 years.
10:13Alright, alright, hold up, hold up, alright.
10:17I sold to him.
10:19When?
10:20Last night.
10:21Bunch of other times, too.
10:23Him and his little buddies.
10:28What little buddies?
10:30I don't know.
10:31Kids, friends of his.
10:32Describe them.
10:33Couple of dudes, couple of chicks, one was Asian.
10:36Kinda hot.
10:38Okay, so you're telling me that you saw all of them in the park last night, right?
10:43Yep.
10:46And now we got some witnesses.
10:48Witnesses who lied.
10:55You guys lied to me.
10:59You were all with Donnie when he got shot, weren't you?
11:04Anyone know what obstruction is?
11:08I believe that's when you deliberately give false information in a criminal case.
11:13You go to prison for it.
11:18Max?
11:22Amanda?
11:27Yeah.
11:29We were there.
11:30You were at the park.
11:32Donnie was out of control.
11:33We were just trying to stop him.
11:34Why don't I believe you?
11:41Guys, just tell the truth.
11:48Sometimes we go to the park, too.
11:51Yeah, we'd tell our parents we're hanging out at one of our apartments, but we'd actually go to the park
11:54and party.
11:55And Donnie would...
11:56Would get you whatever you wanted.
12:01What happened?
12:01So what happened?
12:04We're all just hanging out, having a good time partying.
12:07And this guy came over, and he's all messed up, and he's got this gun.
12:11And he's yelling at Donnie, where's my money? I need my freaking money.
12:16Donnie owes him 200 bucks.
12:18And Donnie didn't have it.
12:18And the guy points the gun.
12:20And there's this loud pop, and you just see Donnie's body crumble.
12:23What did you guys do?
12:24We ran.
12:25We just ran.
12:26You didn't think to call the police?
12:27He was dead.
12:28I mean, we knew he was dead.
12:30Calling someone...
12:30Would've just gotten you into trouble?
12:32Did you get a good look at this guy?
12:35Do you think you'd be able to identify him?
12:41It was dark.
12:42You know, Donnie was at the end of the bench.
12:44Who was the closest?
12:49Okay, Romy, this'll be easy.
12:50When we raise the shades, they won't be able to see you.
12:53Are you sure?
12:54I promise.
12:55They have no idea who's back here.
12:57You just let me know if you recognize anyone, okay?
13:03Raise the shades, please.
13:08Number one, step forward.
13:09Number one, step forward.
13:19Step back, number one.
13:20Step back.
13:21Number two.
13:22Number two, step forward.
13:30Do you recognize anyone?
13:33Number two.
13:36Where do you recognize him from?
13:39The park.
13:41He shot Donnie.
13:44Okay.
13:58Are you trying to figure out how to murder someone in their sleep again?
14:01Not this time.
14:03Do you know when you were little?
14:05I used to watch you sleep every night before I went to bed, just for a few minutes.
14:10It was ridiculous how adorable you were.
14:14Who'd have thought all these years later you're still adorable?
14:18What part of snoring and drooling is adorable?
14:21Well, every 10 or 15 breaths you make a little snort noise, and then sometimes you'll even get a little
14:25spitball.
14:26Okay, Dad, seriously.
14:32Do you do drugs?
14:35No.
14:35Are you sure? Because you can tell me.
14:38Dad, am I lethargic and uncharacteristically irritable?
14:41No.
14:41Are my eyes bloodshot for no apparent reason?
14:44No, except when you're sick.
14:45Well, that's an apparent reason.
14:46Right.
14:47Are my grades plummeting?
14:48No.
14:49According to New York City's guidelines for parents and teachers, it's a pretty safe bet I'm clean.
14:54You make an excellent case.
14:56Parents are invited to the drug assemblies. You should come next time.
14:59Drug assemblies? Is that what the kids are calling them nowadays?
15:01They serve cookies.
15:02And which of your friends are going on this D.C. jamboree with you?
15:05Taylor, Kelsey, and Paige.
15:07Okay, how do I know they're not bringing a blow and partying winehouse style?
15:11Um, because you know them really well and they're good kids.
15:15But maybe they're icebergs.
15:18Does this have something to do with that Redding kid?
15:22Dad, he was in Central Park really, really late at night.
15:26That's something I would never do.
15:28But if you did, you could tell me.
15:31I don't want you to feel you ever have to lie to me.
15:33Anything you and your friends have done, believe me, I've done worse.
15:36I know.
15:38But the good news is, I'm not you.
15:42I just mean you don't have to worry.
15:44Besides, if I ever got in any real trouble, my friends would be there to bail me out.
15:48Right.
15:53Because that's what friends do.
15:55Yeah.
16:00Gentlemen, gentlemen.
16:01Excuse me, I gotta go. I gotta go.
16:06Why didn't Donnie's friends just give him the money?
16:09What are you talking about?
16:10These kids always have cash.
16:12You're gonna tell me one of them couldn't spring a few bucks to save his life?
16:15Castle.
16:15Some demented drug dealer's waving a gun.
16:18They probably froze up.
16:19But all of them?
16:20He wasn't asking SAT questions, he was asking for money.
16:23Something these kids probably count in their sleep.
16:26Look, the Scoville is a bad dude and we got more than enough.
16:30Yeah, with the girl. It's a slam dunk.
16:32And who gave you the girl?
16:34Scoville?
16:37So the guy's not a genius.
16:39Okay, okay. Say you're right.
16:41Why would these kids pick the wrong guy for a murder?
16:44Simple.
16:45One of them did it.
16:57Hey!
16:59Back in.
17:00Yankman.
17:00Who's the sidekick?
17:01He's the...
17:02Fuzzle?
17:03Consultant.
17:03Yeah?
17:04Well, uh, shouldn't you consult the consultant before you arrest the wrong guy?
17:09I'm not sure I have the wrong guy yet, Yankman.
17:12Well, my client's not happy.
17:14He gave you potential witnesses and then you used one against him.
17:17Yeah, well your client wasn't exactly forthcoming.
17:21But I'm willing to reconsider if he tells me everything he knows.
17:25Don't trust her.
17:26Seeing as how you're facing a murder charge, why don't you just go with the flow?
17:29Consultant boy's right.
17:30You got nothing to lose.
17:33The night that Donnie was killed, you sold to him and his friends, right?
17:37No.
17:38No?
17:39That's not how you really get her to reconsider.
17:41I didn't sell to him.
17:44They was working for me.
17:46Working for you?
17:49I supplied that punk.
17:52Alright, his friends bought off me too.
17:54Then they'd go play dealer, selling to the upscales in Sheep's Meadow.
17:57Wait a minute, they sold for you?
17:59Donnie, yeah.
18:00The others, it was just like a goof, like walk on the wild side, like truth or dare.
18:05So where were you when Donnie got shot?
18:06I was hanging with my boys down by the Alice in Wonderland statue.
18:09We didn't see nothing.
18:10We heard the shot, took off.
18:12What about the gun?
18:14I told you, I don't pack.
18:16Criminal record with no firearms convictions.
18:19Does sort of give it the ring of truth.
18:21If past is prologue, how we doing on reconsideration?
18:26Don't have to answer if you don't want.
18:28I know the answer.
18:30Anytime.
18:32Anytime, Beckett.
18:35You gotta be kidding me.
18:37I already told the brass that we got the guy.
18:38I can see how that'd be a little awkward.
18:40The mayor even called to thank me.
18:41He's in for the Knicks game, by the way.
18:43Sweet.
18:44Look, I know everyone likes the violent drug dealer for this.
18:46No, we love the violent drug dealer for this.
18:49Only the violent drug dealer's story makes more sense than our witnesses.
18:52Plus, and I know I'm new here, but aren't you supposed to arrest the right guy?
18:58Okay, go and talk to the girl again.
18:59But my violent drug dealer stays where he is until I say so.
19:03See you at the game.
19:04Got it.
19:09So this dealer asked Donny for the couple hundred he owed him, right?
19:12Yeah.
19:13And Donny told him he didn't have it.
19:15Right.
19:18Mind if I take a look at your purse?
19:20Her purse?
19:20What for?
19:21I can get a warrant if you want.
19:26Gucci.
19:28What does my bag have to do with anything?
19:35If Donny was such a good friend, why did you let him get shot?
19:38Let him?
19:41You had more than enough money to pay off the guy.
19:44I bet you all had more than enough.
19:46And yet Donny is dead.
19:48Why didn't any of you front him the money?
19:50What are you implying?
19:51She isn't implying.
19:53She's saying your daughter is lying about what happened that night.
19:59There wasn't a guy, was there, Romy?
20:04I didn't do anything.
20:06Romy.
20:07What really happened to Donny that night?
20:14It was an accident.
20:17We were just playing a game.
20:19A game?
20:19Like Russian roulette.
20:21Romy?
20:21With a gun?
20:22It was just for fun.
20:24We did it all the time.
20:25For fun?
20:26Where'd you get the gun, Romy?
20:29Spencer had it.
20:30We never meant for there to be bullets.
20:32We just pointed the gun at each other and pulled the trigger just to see what it felt like.
20:36Then how did Donny get shot?
20:39Spencer bought bullets.
20:40We went up to a summer house in Montauk just to shoot around cans and stuff.
20:45One must have got left in by accident.
20:48Who?
20:49Who shot him?
20:53Romy, look at me.
20:55Who shot Donny?
21:00Max.
21:02It was Max.
21:05Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD.
21:07I'm looking for Max Heller.
21:09Is he here?
21:10No.
21:11I'm his mother.
21:11What's going on?
21:12I need to see him right now, Mrs. Heller.
21:14Do you know where he is?
21:15No, I don't.
21:16What is it?
21:19I have a warrant for his arrest.
21:21A warrant?
21:22Oh my God, for what?
21:23He's wanted for murder, Mrs. Heller.
21:25Do you understand?
21:28I need you to go and call him on the cell phone.
21:30Find out where he is.
21:30Tell him not to move.
21:31Everything is going to be all right, but I need you to do it now.
21:34Detective Esposito will go with you.
21:35Get a photograph of him for the APB, please.
21:37Right.
21:39Detective.
21:42Beckett.
21:45What?
21:46Where?
21:51Kid's not answering his cell phone.
21:53Mom thinks maybe he went to the park.
21:55Yeah, he went to the park.
21:57And killed himself.
22:01So what now?
22:02What should I do?
22:05What?
22:22Hey, if you're looking for lunch money, my wallet's on the nightstand.
22:25I lied to you, Dad.
22:27Well, can I just wait?
22:28No.
22:29You need to know.
22:34Oh.
22:35Yeah.
22:38Yeah.
22:39Well, okay.
22:39I'm sorry.
22:40Remember the holiday formal, how Kelsey and I went at Taylor's house after?
22:45Well, when we left, it was already rainy.
22:47And we tried for like half an hour to get a taxi, but we couldn't.
22:49And we were already so soaking wet and cold that we finally decided to take the subway,
22:53even though it was way after 10.
22:55Well, considering that getting a cab in the rain is kind of like winning the Powerball jackpot,
22:59I forgive you.
23:00No.
23:01Listen.
23:02The two was coming, and Kelsey ran through the door and was going down the stairs to hold the door
23:05for me.
23:05But when I swiped my card, it was empty, and I didn't have any time to add any more money
23:08to it.
23:08And Kelsey was screaming for me to come, and I was just so tired, and I was just anxious to
23:11get home that Dad, I...
23:13I don't even want to say it.
23:16What?
23:18I jumped the turnstile.
23:23Did you make the train?
23:25Yeah, but the point is I didn't tell you, even after you were so sweet and concerned yesterday.
23:29I'm sorry.
23:30Oh, you actually jumped the turnstile?
23:32But I swiped my card twice the next day and didn't even ride.
23:36Okay.
23:38Sweetie, if that's the worst thing you've done, I'm happy, happy man.
23:43But I lied to you.
23:45Shouldn't you punish me?
23:46Yes.
23:47No, you're right.
23:50Mandatory ice cream for breakfast.
23:52No excuses.
23:53I'm serious.
23:53If you won't, I will.
23:54I'm serious about the ice cream.
23:55Fine.
23:56I'm grounded for a week.
23:58All right, you're tough but fair.
24:00After the DC trip.
24:03That's my girl.
24:07Thanks, Jim.
24:12Hey, what you doing?
24:14Paperwork to dismiss the homicide charges against Scoville.
24:18Ballistics.
24:19Confirms that the gun used on Donnie in the park that night was the same one Max used on himself.
24:25I'm usually better at reading people.
24:27You spent half an hour with Max.
24:29There's no way you could have seen that coming.
24:30Poor kid must have been a mess.
24:32Imagine shooting your best friend and then having to lie about it.
24:35Well, he did more than just lie about it.
24:37What do you mean?
24:38He went back and moved his friend's body.
24:41He went back and moved his friend's body.
24:45Having the presence of mind to move the body isn't exactly consistent with a guilty conscience, is it?
24:51I'd say that's more an act of a cold-blooded killer.
24:54And a cold-blooded killer doesn't suddenly feel guilty enough to commit suicide, does he?
24:59Not in any story I'd write.
25:00So if we're right, and Max didn't move Donnie's body, then who did?
25:08Looks like your basic garden-variety suicide.
25:11But you said on the phone that there was something that wasn't consistent with the suicide.
25:15Looks like suicide.
25:17But his shooting hand, more specifically, his right index finger has a slight abrasion visible only under the scope.
25:24Department autopsy protocol doesn't even call to look for that kind of thing.
25:27And the abrasion means what to you?
25:29That someone may have helped him pull the trigger.
25:32Plus, toxicology has his blood alcohol content at 0.28.
25:350.28?
25:36So he was drunk.
25:38Way drunk?
25:39At 0.28, he may not have even been conscious.
25:43So Max was murdered.
25:47Whoever staged Max's suicide wanted us to believe that he killed himself out of guilt over shooting Donnie,
25:52which makes me think Max didn't kill Donnie after all.
25:55The other kids corroborated Romy's story that Max pulled the trigger.
25:58I didn't say he didn't shoot him. I said he didn't kill him.
26:02Is that the Zen Cohen one-hand clapping thing?
26:04These kids played a game of pretending to shoot at each other.
26:07What if one of them wanted Donnie dead for real? What better way than to get someone else to pull
26:11the trigger?
26:11You think one of the other kids put a bullet in the gun without Max knowing?
26:16That's our killer.
26:18Oh, I like that.
26:20You bought the bullet, Spencer.
26:21It was just to screw around.
26:23If by screwing around you mean intentionally putting a bullet in a chamber knowing that Max was going to shoot
26:27Donnie, then yes.
26:28You and I are in total agreement.
26:30Detective Beckett.
26:31If the point of the game was to shoot without bullets, then why would you have bullets unless you intended
26:36to use them?
26:37I told you, I didn't know there were any bullets in the gun.
26:39Well, somebody did. And I think whoever it is killed Max.
26:43Your gun, your bullets. From where I'm standing, Spencer, you did it.
26:48So where were you between 6.30 and 9 last night?
26:52Uh, at my dad's club. The Century. With Brandon.
26:58You better hope that Brandon corroborates that.
27:06Look, I know Romy and Spencer told you guys everything and that we're all in big trouble.
27:12But I'm glad.
27:13You're glad?
27:13Yes. We should have just come clean with you guys after the accident.
27:16You're damn right you should have.
27:17I know.
27:20But we didn't want to screw Max over.
27:22That's why you figured the drug dealer, right? Because he's expendable.
27:25I told Romy that was wrong. But she wanted to protect Max.
27:28And that junkie's the one who got Donnie into dealing in the first place.
27:31So where were you when Max was killed?
27:33It was Spencer. At his dad's club.
27:37Ask him. He'll confirm it.
27:38You guys always have your stories straight, don't you?
27:42We weren't at the park. It was the drug dealer. It was Max. You guys are always in sync.
27:47Maybe that's why I don't believe you.
27:52You don't have to believe me.
27:55I have proof.
28:00We take these videos, you know, just for laughs, doing crazy stuff.
28:05Romy's dad, Mr. Lee, is like this big IT guy.
28:08And he act us up with a file share over Bluetooth.
28:11That way we'd all get the files.
28:20Amanda shot this that night.
28:21What is it?
28:23I did a video of Donnie getting shot.
28:30We were all supposed to erase it, but I knew that if the truth came out, we'd all be screwed.
28:37And after what happened to those kids in that Duke case, I just...
28:42I didn't want to end up like that.
28:46Here.
28:48Oh yeah, suck it down, friend.
28:50Suck it!
28:51Suck it!
28:52Suck it!
28:53Suck it!
28:55Oh, great.
28:56Pumped.
28:56He's back.
28:57Hi, Mom.
28:57Alright, let's do this, baby!
28:59Last me, Max.
29:00Oh, take me out!
29:01Hey!
29:01You pulled my mom's hair.
29:02He wants to test me.
29:03I'm glad you stole.
29:04Horrowed.
29:05More than my entire family.
29:07Cue the violins.
29:08Aw.
29:10Aw.
29:10Aw.
29:10Okay, here we go.
29:13Woo!
29:15Goodbye, Mr. Anderson.
29:28You okay?
29:30I was just thinking about Donnie's parents.
29:34What they'll go through when they watch that video.
29:39Guess it's not too often you get a murder call on tape, huh?
29:42Yeah, well, he was smart to keep it, otherwise they'd all be facing a manslaughter charge.
29:48Yeah.
29:50It was pretty smart when you think about it, wasn't it?
29:53I know that tone, Castle.
29:55I'm just saying, it's pretty lucky they filmed their little game that night.
29:58You know, people post crazy stuff on YouTube.
30:00I get filming it the first few times, it's exciting.
30:02But the 10th?
30:04The 15th?
30:05What was so special about that night?
30:07Donnie got shot.
30:08So the only reason to film it is...
30:10You knew something was gonna happen.
30:17The 15th?
30:20The 15th?
30:22And that was when?
30:23Okay, thank you, Mrs. Kendall.
30:26Get this.
30:27Donnie and Amanda were dating until about a month ago.
30:30When Donnie broke it off.
30:38You weren't in school today, Amanda.
30:40So?
30:41I wasn't up for it.
30:42Yes.
30:43Lying can be so exhausting.
30:45So can losing two of your friends.
30:46We saw the video.
30:48Brandon told me.
30:49So now you know everything.
30:51Why'd you shoot the video that night?
30:52I don't know, we did lots of times.
30:54When was the last time before that night?
30:57I don't remember.
30:58Look, I thought you said you saw what happened.
31:00We did.
31:01We're just not sure why we saw what happened.
31:04Your decision to make a video that night doesn't make any sense.
31:08Unless you knew something was gonna happen.
31:10You think I knew?
31:12It was totally an accident.
31:15There's no way I could have known Donnie was gonna get shot.
31:18Sure there is.
31:20If you're the one who put a bullet in the gun.
31:23What?
31:24We spoke to Donnie's parents.
31:25We know you two were dating.
31:26We also know Donnie broke up with you about a month ago.
31:30Oh my god!
31:31It gives you motive, Amanda.
31:33It's not what happened!
31:35Yes, Donnie broke up with me.
31:37But only because he found out I hooked up with Brandon.
31:41Brandon?
31:42Everything with his family, Donnie checked out.
31:47He wasn't there for me and Brandon was.
31:49I bet he was.
31:51It's not like that.
31:52Brandon's a really good guy.
31:53A good guy who kept the only copy of a video he told us you shot.
31:57If Brandon kept the video, he had his reasons.
32:04Brandon told you to shoot the video that night, didn't he?
32:12Yeah.
32:28Guess who just changed his story?
32:31Your buddy Spencer.
32:32Your comrade just gave up your alibi for Max's murder.
32:35You mean Max's suicide, don't you?
32:38And last I checked, I wouldn't need an alibi for that, would I?
32:40The medical examiner concluded that Max's death was a homicide.
32:45No.
32:45Well, I'm sure there are any number of experts we can hire who will disagree with a city employee.
32:50Expert witnesses?
32:52Scrambling for alibis?
32:53Sounds like you're already building a defense.
32:54You guys have been running around accusing everyone of murder.
32:57I figured my term was coming and I'd better be ready.
32:59Only now we know it was you.
33:01All three of your friends have solid alibis for the night Max was killed.
33:05You say killed, I say suicide.
33:06Where were you that night?
33:07I took a walk.
33:08I knew you guys wouldn't believe me, so I asked Spencer to cover for me.
33:11That's what you guys do, right?
33:12Cover for each other.
33:14Exactly.
33:17Look, detective, you're hot and everything.
33:21But if you had any actual evidence, you'd have already arrested me.
33:25Me?
33:27I have a video that proves Max killed Donnie.
33:31You really think a jury's gonna believe he didn't get drunken off himself?
33:35This is just a game for you, isn't it?
33:38Like selling drugs in the park.
33:40Well, if it was, it looks like I'd be winning.
33:44But hey, if you think I did it, let's see you prove it.
33:55I hate that kid.
33:59You know, actually having to prove things is really tedious.
34:03Welcome to my world.
34:03Brandon had this all planned.
34:05He gets Max to shoot Donnie, then gets Max drunk and kills him.
34:08There's no such thing as a perfect crime castle.
34:10Not yet.
34:11But one day I'm gonna ride it.
34:13Okay.
34:15We canvassed every store, stand, and homeless guy from the park's entrance at 72nd to the scene.
34:20And no one remembers seeing Max or Brandon last night.
34:23If we can't put Brandon at Max's murder scene, then the DA will never move.
34:26These kids were hooked on video sharing. There has to be something.
34:29Nah, I already scrolled through every video, audio, photo, and text file on that thing.
34:33Guess we weren't lucky enough to have Max take video of Brandon killing her.
34:36My thing is, if he did, Brandon would've known.
34:38Would've popped up on his shared folder as soon as their phone...
34:41Synced.
34:43Synced.
34:45If they were together when Max was murdered, then their phones would've automatically synced.
34:48There'd be a record.
35:03You have the right to have a lawyer present, Brandon. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to
35:08you.
35:08Well, you could afford a million lawyers.
35:11She still has to advise me on my rights, right?
35:13Right.
35:13Anyway, that's cool. I don't want a lawyer.
35:17This is way more fun.
35:20Maybe you'd like to just sign a confession, then?
35:23Sure.
35:30I confess...
35:33that I'm dying to cop a feeling to hear cop laughs.
35:40There.
35:42Now I feel so much better.
35:48You sure you don't want to call somebody? Your parents, maybe?
35:51Why would I worry them?
35:52You know, I made a call just a little while ago to my bookie.
35:55Sweet.
35:56I was standing in the street outside Nobu waiting for my car.
35:59Oh yeah, I love that place.
36:00The black squid pasta is amazing.
36:02Anyway, I was talking on the phone when the valet pulled up with my car.
36:05And all of a sudden my call got cut off.
36:07But I realized, oh, the Bluetooth in my car picked up the call automatically.
36:11Because they were linked.
36:14You told us that all your phones auto share media files via Bluetooth link, right?
36:19So?
36:20So, your phone linked with Max's phone the night he was killed.
36:23It's a digital fingerprint that places you within 20 feet of Max at the time of his murder.
36:28You did say if she got some actual evidence she should arrest you.
36:31You took advantage of Max's guilt over Donnie's death and you got him blackout drunk.
36:36And then you put a gun in his hand, pressed it against his temple, and then you pulled the trigger.
36:41Why would I do that?
36:42To cover your tracks over killing Donnie.
36:45Why would I kill Donnie?
36:48Amanda.
36:49Amanda is with me, not Donnie.
36:52Yeah, only after Donnie lost all his money.
36:55Which makes you sloppy seconds.
36:56I had to eat you alive knowing that Amanda had been with Donnie.
36:59Especially because he got way more than just under her blouse, right?
37:04I have that video that shows that Max killed Donnie.
37:09Not me.
37:10And arranging that was very impressive.
37:14Fooling Spencer, Romy, and Amanda wasn't that hard.
37:16They didn't handle the gun.
37:17But Max was another story.
37:20He actually pulled the trigger and he just couldn't let it go, could he?
37:25And then he remembered, you gave him the gun.
37:27So he called you and asked to meet you.
37:29We have a record of the call.
37:31You knew something was up.
37:33So you brought the gun.
37:35And what?
37:35Vodka?
37:36Or was Max the Scotch guy?
37:39He knew all about you, Donnie, and Amanda.
37:42You had to wonder, did you set me up to kill my best friend?
37:48And when he realized you had, he wasn't gonna keep it quiet, was he?
37:54Even with you telling him you'd all go to jail.
37:58If only Max had been strong enough just to man up.
38:03If only Donnie realized he didn't belong with you guys anymore.
38:07He and Amanda were through, but then none of this would have been necessary.
38:12Weak people just don't get it.
38:14Do they, Brandon?
38:19Sometimes they just have to be led to the truth.
38:24Exactly.
38:27Did he just say exactly?
38:29Because I heard him say, exactly.
38:31Yep, I heard it too.
38:35You tricked me.
38:36You tricked me!
38:38It's called admission against interest.
38:40Just a fancy term for confession.
38:42Pretty sweet, huh?
38:43Oh.
38:44And the funny thing is, I bet you thought you were pretty clever to go back and move Donnie's body,
38:49right?
38:50But the thing is, is we would have never figured it out if you hadn't.
38:54Well, she would have never figured it out.
38:56Oh, like you would have figured it out.
38:57I definitely would have figured it out.
38:58Are you kidding me right now?
38:59Honest truth, straight face, from my heart.
39:23Let's go! Power up! I don't want to be late.
39:26You're coming?
39:26You're looking at the official replacement chaperone.
39:28Yay!
39:30I just realized I have some business to take care of in D.C. anyway.
39:33Really?
39:33Yeah, I've got to pick out a spot for my mom, just in case.
39:36I think Washington and Lincoln already have the good ones.
39:38Maybe they can move Jefferson.
39:39Oh yeah, I'm sure.
39:40All right, you two kids, hurry off now.
39:44You don't want to miss any of the fun.
39:51Any of your fun, you mean?
39:52It's not what you think.
39:55Hello.
39:58I don't want to.
40:00No, it's exactly what I thought.
40:02Now, does this look like a wild group?
40:05For your information, I am hosting a seminar for my life coaching class, Be The Change You Want To See.
40:12How very zen of you.
40:13Dad, come on.
40:14You're supportive.
40:14She's trying to help people.
40:17Yeah, out of my liquor cabinet.
40:18No, this is going to be a very civilized affair.
40:20Now.
40:21Off, off, off, off.
40:23Have fun!
40:24One, two, one, two, one, two, two, one, two, one.
40:25Ha, ha, ha!
40:27Okay.
40:28Ho, ha!
40:29Ho, ha!
