00:01Bending spoons with my mind
00:04Memolastic man of all kinds
00:08In my spare time
00:13Oh, how I struggled in vain
00:17Saw this riddle with my brain
00:21When the answer's in my hand
00:24So I'm gonna move you around
00:30Got to turn you inside out
00:37Yeah, I wanna move you, move you around
00:43I wanna move you, I wanna move you around
00:48All right, everybody, last hand for the night.
00:51Oh, phooey, it's only, it's not even midnight
00:55People have jobs to go to in the morning
00:57Oh, my son, the working stiff
01:02Pooey, I vote
01:04If you don't mind me saying, Mrs. RU, vote a lot
01:08I just don't believe in stringing along a bad hand, why waste time?
01:11Actually, Mother's Game isn't really Texas Hold'em, it's strip poker
01:14Keeps things humming along, if you know what I mean
01:16Well, frankly, I prefer strip, because even when you lose, you win
01:20Raise 20
01:21Call
01:27Make it 100
01:28Whoa
01:30100 bucks
01:31Man up, bro
01:35Really?
01:37I'm out
01:38Slop
01:39What about you, Cassie? You're already in for the blind
01:41Not scared of a little action, are you?
01:47Action is my middle name
01:50Ah
01:52Don't worry, sweetheart, he's bluffing
01:53Whenever he blinks too much, it means he's got a lousy hand
01:56Mother
01:56Well
01:58All right, here we go
02:04There it is
02:09Uh-oh
02:11What?
02:11What?
02:11He's not blinking, but now he's tapping, which means he might have the nuts
02:16What's the matter? You're not afraid of a little action, are you?
02:24All in
02:25Woo-hoo!
02:28Take him down, Becky
02:28Yeah, make him pay
02:30Can't write your way out of this one, huh, Castle?
02:47Oh
02:48Oh
02:48Oh
02:49Oh
02:49Oh, Becky
02:51Maybe someone should change their middle name to
02:54Lousy
02:55Lousy
02:55Lousy
02:56It just wasn't my night
02:58See, I told you he was bluffing, it's the
03:00It's the blingy thing, yeah, right
03:04Beckett
03:07Yeah, we'll be there in 20
03:10Homicide on Henry Street
03:11I'll take care of this for you
03:13Thank you
03:13Well, at least you guys are already downtown
03:15But it's after midnight
03:17Murder never sleeps, Mrs. R
03:19Yeah, neither do we
03:20Whoa, whoa, did someone say murder?
03:22Hold on, I'll get my coat
03:24Look at him, I'm all excited
03:25Yeah, like a kid at Christmas
03:27With a dead body under the tree
03:45Is that motor oil?
03:47Looks like it
03:48But I'll have to pump out the tub and rent some tests to be sure
03:51It's motor oil, alright
03:5310W-40
03:54Empty as in the closet
03:55What kind of freak drowns a woman in motor oil?
03:57Someone's trying to send a message
04:05I already told the uniforms
04:07Once people check in, I don't want to know what they do up there
04:10Her purse was missing and she didn't have an ID on her
04:13Any chance she paid for the room with a credit card?
04:17All I can tell you is
04:18Whoever rented a room on Friday paid cash for a five-day stay
04:21They were supposed to be out tonight
04:23So at midnight I went up to check the place was empty
04:25And found her in the tub
04:27Gonna be a bitch to clean it
04:28So if anybody was meeting her here
04:30Yeah, it's not like the guests arrive and I ring them up
04:33This ain't the Ritz
04:34Clearly
04:35What about tonight? Anyone strange coming in or going out?
04:38Hey, Bill
04:40Jasmine, how's it hanging?
04:43I think you just described half their clientele
04:48Unidentified woman, early 40's
04:50Good health
04:51She's wearing a wedding ring, but there's no inscription
04:53Cause of death? Drowning
04:55There's a nasty contusion on the back of her head
04:58So somebody hit her hard enough to knock her out
05:00And then gave her a motor oil bath
05:01And I found this
05:03In one of her pockets
05:05Ticket stub for the Metro North
05:07Our victim took the train in from Westchester yesterday morning
05:10Westchester to lower Manhattan?
05:12That's a long way to go for a lube drop
05:15See, when married ladies go to cheap hotels, it's always about sex
05:19Or drugs
05:20The sample in one of the wine glasses tested positive for Remian
05:24The sleeping pill
05:26This was not a crime of passion
05:28That room was rented for five days and someone stocked the place up with motor oil
05:32That takes planning
05:34And nice suburban ladies don't just take the train into the city and not return without somebody noticing
05:40Irvington PD logged a call last night from a Michael Goldman wanting to report his wife Allison missing
05:45Clothing and description match
05:47Said she went to the city for work and never came back
05:49Said he knew something was wrong
05:51Poor guy
05:52Unless he's the killer and he's covering his tracks by calling the police before the body's discovered
05:58How about we question him before we convict him?
06:01You got an address?
06:02Thanks
06:06Okay
06:06I don't understand
06:08Where did you say that she was found?
06:11At an SRO in the city
06:13It's a single room occupancy, it's like a transient hotel
06:17Why would she be in a place like that?
06:19Can you think of anyone she might have been meeting?
06:21No, my wife and I were happily married detective, we had no secrets
06:24You told police last night that your wife went into the city for her job?
06:29She was working part time
06:31We'd had some financial setbacks the last few years, I'd been laid off
06:34We had to give up the apartment
06:35How did your wife handle the move to the suburbs?
06:39Not, uh, not too well
06:41Allison missed the city
06:42So a couple months ago she got a job working three days a week at a clothing boutique in Manhattan
06:46This little place on 72nd called Lehane's
06:50She said that being there
06:59I'm sorry, she said that being there reminded her of the good old days
07:09So, I'm trying to put together a timeline of Allison Goldman's last hours
07:12The first call I make is to Lehane's, the store where she worked
07:15I say to the owner, good morning sir, I'd like to talk to you about your employee, Allison Goldman
07:20And?
07:21And, he says, who?
07:24Allison didn't work there
07:25Not yesterday, not ever
07:27Well, if she wasn't going into the city three times a week for her job, then what was she doing
07:31there?
07:31How did she come home Friday night with 400 bucks in cash for the family kitty?
07:35Maybe Castle was right, maybe this is about sex
07:36The lady was a soccer mom
07:38Come by my daughter's school about 3.30, places like happy hour
07:42Maybe she had a boyfriend
07:43Yes, my boyfriend
07:45Someone she met in line at Zabar's
07:47Or one afternoon at the museum when she ducked in to escape a rainstorm
07:52Maybe it was someone she already knew from the city
07:54Someone who reminded her of when times were good
07:57Before she had to give up that cute apartment with the partial river view
08:01Someone who was slipping a little cash while he was slipping her something else
08:04Yeah, Allison Goldman wouldn't have some cheap affair
08:07This person would have had to have meant something to her
08:09Someone who cared for her, someone who listened to her
08:12Only now, he wanted a little more return for his investment
08:16Something she wasn't willing to do
08:17Like leave her husband
08:19And when she wouldn't, then he got violent
08:21You know, I feel so stupid
08:23Here I am looking for evidence and all I had to do was just make something up
08:27So, this imaginary boyfriend killer, do you think that he has an imaginary address?
08:33Detective Beckett?
08:36Mr. Goldman, what is it?
08:41My lawyer called the social security office this morning to let them know that Allison had passed away
08:46He faxed this to me two hours ago
08:51A death certificate?
08:53Yeah, for Allison Porter
08:54Porter was my wife's maiden name
08:57But it says here that Allison Porter died in 1963
09:01When she was three months old
09:04But this child's social security number is the same as my wife's
09:10My wife wasn't the woman she said she was
09:14Her whole life together was a lie
09:31So, for 20 years, this woman was living under a false name? That's crazy
09:37Yeah, her husband was pretty shaken up
09:39Trust me on this one, kiddo
09:40When a woman marries a man and doesn't bother to tell him who she is for 20 years
09:44She's a criminal
09:46Mata Hari, shady lady
09:47In other words, a very good actress
09:49Speaking of which, you seem to have inherited a bit of my talent
09:53Oh? How so?
09:54The poker game, you let Beckett win
10:00I don't know what you're talking about
10:01Oh, come on, I checked your cards
10:06I-I didn't want to take her money in front of all her friends
10:09Kate Beckett is not some bimbo who needs big strong you to look out for her
10:13She's a real woman, and a real woman does not want to be patronized
10:16She's right, Dad
10:17Yeah, I was being nice
10:22Castle
10:24Yeah, I'm on my way
10:26Alright, I'm on my way to the precinct to find out who this Mata Hari really was
10:32Allison Goldman's email account
10:34Allison writes, Lee, can we meet on Tuesday instead this week?
10:38Lee writes back, sounds good, the usual place
10:40Tuesday, the day that she was murdered
10:43So, Allison's imaginary boyfriend has a very real email account
10:46It goes by the screen name, L-Wax220
10:50The husband said it didn't sound familiar to him
10:51Cyber tracked it down, check this castle, the guy's a writer
10:56A real writer, or I took a course at the learning index writer?
10:59His name is Lee Wax
11:01He writes true crime
11:03Bobby Socks and Blood
11:04The true story of a cheerleader, an Eagle Scout
11:07And the murder that shocked America
11:10Give me a break
11:11Well, maybe he got tired of writing about other people's murders
11:14And decided to commit one on his own
11:25What's this?
11:26Your winnings from the other night
11:28I'm not an idiot, I know you threw the last hand
11:33How did you figure it out?
11:36That's not the point
11:37Well, my mother called you, didn't she?
11:39You owe me a rematch
11:43Fine, you wanna play? Let's play
11:45How about tomorrow night?
11:47With your mystery buddies?
11:49What, are you kidding? No, no, no, those guys would eat you alive
11:51No, I was thinking of something a little more local
11:54My, uh, Gotham City crew
11:55Guys I beat on a regular basis
11:57Your Gotham City crew?
11:59Yeah, Captain the Mayor and Judge Markaway
12:01You know your boss, your boss's boss
12:03And the guy that signs your warrants
12:04Or would that make you nervous?
12:05I mean, I wouldn't wanna throw your game
12:07But I also don't want you to feel patronized
12:08Just set it up
12:10And prepare to get your ass kicked
12:21Hello?
12:27Hello?
12:46Look who's talking
12:49Stay here
13:02Hey, who the hell are you?
13:04Who the hell are you?
13:05Lee Wax, what are you doing in my apartment?
13:09You're a woman
13:10Either you tell me who you are right now
13:12Or I am calling the cops
13:14I am the cops
13:16My name is Detective Kate Beckett
13:18Uh, we would like to ask you some questions about Alice and Goldman
13:21Allison
13:22Oh
13:25Just...
13:26Just, uh, let me get my lawyer
13:29Why do you need a lawyer?
13:30Why do you think?
13:32So you're confessing?
13:34No, I'm not confessing to anything
13:36It's just...
13:37My publisher instructed me not to talk to law enforcement until I had a lawyer present
13:42Your publisher?
13:42You know, I would like to state for the record that I never harbored nor did I conceal a fugitive
13:49What are you talking about?
13:50Allison Goldman
13:51If that's why you're here then obviously you found her
13:55Yes
13:57Murdered
13:57Murdered?
13:59Murdered by who?
14:00Well, given your unhealthy obsession for her, I'm going to take a wild stab at you
14:06Me?
14:09No, I am a ghost writer. We were working on her memoir
14:12Memoir? Why would Allison Goldman need a memoir?
14:16Wait, so you don't know who she really is?
14:19We do now
14:21Apparently our Westchester housewife was also a fugitive
14:33That's Allison Goldman?
14:35A.k.a. Cynthia Dern
14:36In 1989 she and two friends set off a bomb on a tanker owned by a big oil company
14:41I remember this
14:43Some radical environmentalists protesting the Exxon Valdezville
14:45Yes, one was killed, one was caught, but Cynthia Dern was never found
14:49Looks like her past finally caught up with her
14:51Jared Swanstrom built the bomb, Susan Mailer and Cynthia snuck on board to set it
14:56Only something went wrong
14:58You see the ship was supposed to be empty of oil and people
15:02But the Captain Sam Pike had come back
15:04He was paralyzed from the explosion
15:07How did you track down Cynthia?
15:09I didn't
15:11She contacted me
15:13Cynthia had decided to turn herself in
15:15But before she surrendered she wanted to get her story out to the public and express her remorse
15:20And get public opinion on her side
15:22It's a great way to influence a potential jury pool
15:25But she didn't, right? So how was she planning on influencing them?
15:28Cynthia told me that on the night of the bombing she had tried to back out
15:32When she realized that the Captain was aboard she argued with Susan Mailer to call it off
15:37But Susan refused
15:38Susan went to set the bomb herself and ironically died in the explosion
15:43She was vaporized
15:45So why would she come out of hiding now?
15:48Money
15:49She needed the cash
15:51You were paying her?
15:52A couple hundred a week
15:53If the book had sold well
15:56I don't have to tell you how much money was at stake
16:04When was the last time you saw Cynthia?
16:06Tuesday afternoon
16:10Did she mention that she was going to see anyone else? Maybe someone from her past?
16:14No, no, Cynthia was really paranoid about being discovered before the book came out
16:19She didn't want me to get in touch with anyone from her old life
16:22But you did anyway
16:24Any true crime writer worth their salt is going to check her story with other sources
16:31Okay, so I made a few calls
16:33The sources that you were talking to, did any of them want her dead?
16:37Maybe, but remember nobody knew how to find her, I mean I didn't even know where she lived
16:43I'm going to need to see your interview notes and your manuscript
16:49You can have whatever you want, but in return I'd like to be kept in the loop as the investigation
16:54proceeds
16:55What for?
16:55My book
16:58Well, you're going to go through with it?
17:00But Cynthia's dead
17:01Corrections, Cynthia was murdered
17:02Which means her memoir just became a true crime story, which is kind of my forte
17:07You'd be doing me a huge favor
17:09You know, I would love to
17:11But I have a whole list of writers who are hanging around, looking for favors
17:17So thank you very much though for cooperating and I'll catch you on the dark side
17:25I will
17:30That's a pretty sweet gig you've scored for yourself, Mr. Castle
17:33Is this your secret to writing bestsellers?
17:36Follow the pretty cop lady around and take copious notes?
17:40I like to think talent played a small part
17:42Still, this is the kind of all-access past most writers would kill for
17:46Let's get to the part where you tell me what you want
17:49Well, maybe you can give me a call sometime
17:53One professional to another
17:56Or do you need to check with your boss lady?
17:59Why don't you give me your number?
18:01And I'll see what I can do
18:12A domestic terrorist who clips coupons
18:15I just might buy the movie rights myself
18:17Well, the bombing obviously wasn't a very sophisticated operation
18:21Susan Mailer was killed in the blast and Jared Swanstrom was caught by the FBI and served 15 years
18:27Alison Goldman, aka Cynthia Dern, managed to stay a fugitive for nearly two decades
18:31And then she poked her head out of hiding and a couple months later, she's dead
18:35Who would hold a garage for 20 years?
18:42How about the people whose lives she's ruined?
18:47You say she was living in Irvington?
18:49Uh-huh
18:50That's just a couple of miles away from here
18:52In the months leading up to her death, Cynthia was working with a journalist
18:57We spoke with Lee Wax several times
18:59She never told us Cynthia was involved
19:03She should have
19:05Excuse me, will you excuse me, please?
19:12This is hard for him
19:14He's still angry about what happened, we all are
19:18Who's your son?
19:20Adam
19:20A sailor just like his dad?
19:23The settlement wasn't enough to cover all of Sam's medical costs
19:27Adam's been working and helping out since he was a teenager
19:35Adam?
19:37I'm Detective Kate Beckett
19:38Is this about her?
19:40Cynthia or Alison or whatever she called herself?
19:44Did you have any idea that she lived so close?
19:46Didn't know, didn't care
19:49You didn't care about the woman who almost killed your father?
19:53I find that hard to believe
19:55You know, my family waited 20 years for the cops to find Cynthia Dern
19:59So my dad could get just a little bit of justice
20:02Well, it's too late for that now
20:04So what do you want from us?
20:06Well, I thought you might want to know how Cynthia died
20:09She was drowned
20:11In motor oil
20:13Motor oil?
20:14It's almost as if whoever did it had a personal connection to the bombing
20:18Adam, if I looked in your garage right now, would I find motor oil?
20:24I own a boat and a car, Detective
20:27And where were you last Tuesday?
20:29I bartend at the Foxtail Grill on Manchester every Tuesday
20:35Are we done?
20:37Yes, for now
20:39Thank you
20:42You know what?
20:44Hope his alibi checks out, I hope he didn't do it
20:46And here I thought you would be saying what a great story it would make if Adam Pike did it
20:50A son taking revenge for his father
20:53It is a good story, it's a great story
20:54Personally, I would just write a happy ending for that family
20:57Becker, FBI files on the tanker bombing in 89
21:01I've been going through them
21:02And?
21:02Three days after the bombing, they captured Jared Swansham at a motel where he'd been hiding out
21:06Feds had a tip line, some helpful citizen calls and said they'd seen Swansham at the motel
21:11Feds go in, grab him up, easy peasy
21:14It's pretty standard stuff
21:15Yeah, until you get to the part where the tipster never collects on the reward
21:19Who was the tipster?
21:20That's just it, FBI never knew, cause she didn't leave a name
21:25She?
21:26Records describe the voice as young and female
21:30Could be Cynthia Dern
21:32Do you think she would give up her friends to the cops?
21:35Doesn't matter what I think
21:36Only it matters with Swansham thought
21:38The guy did 15 years in prison
21:40That's a long time to think about who put you there
21:57Jared Swansham?
21:59Yeah?
22:00NYPD, we'd like to ask you some questions about Cynthia Dern
22:05I'm not sure what I can tell you
22:06I hadn't seen her in 20 years
22:08But you knew she was writing a book, right?
22:10You spoke to Lee Wax?
22:11I spoke with her
22:12I told her to give Cynthia my regards
22:15So you weren't bearing any old grudges?
22:17Against Cynthia?
22:19What for?
22:20We're turning you in
22:21It was Cynthia who called the cops and that you were arrested
22:26That's true, she was just trying to save herself
22:29Right after the bomb and Cynthia wanted to run
22:31I tried to make it to Canada, but I, uh, I fell apart
22:35Why?
22:36Guilt
22:37I'm the one who built the bomb
22:40I'm the one who messed it up
22:41Messed it up how?
22:42The girls were supposed to have three minutes to get off that shit before it went off
22:45Three minutes
22:46When Cynthia got back in the car that night
22:48She said that something had gone wrong
22:50That the bomb had, had blown early
22:55I'm the reason that Susan Mailer is dead
23:05At least one of them took responsibility for what happened that night
23:09Yeah
23:10Maybe even a little too much responsibility
23:13You don't believe Jared Swanstrom's story?
23:15Well that's the thing, it's not his story, it's Cynthia's
23:17You wanna break it down for those of us who've already had a glass of wine?
23:21Cynthia told Lee Wax that she and Susan Mailer had an argument as to whether or not to set off
23:26the bomb once they knew the captain was on board
23:28Cynthia backed out, Susan went on to set off the bomb by herself, and boom
23:34Huh
23:34But today, Jared Swanstrom said that Cynthia told him there was something wrong with the timer
23:39She never said anything about an argument
23:41Oh, well, that is a rather glaring omission
23:44You know, when I'm writing, I find it's all about choices
23:47What to put in, what to leave out, when to reveal some information, when to hold something back
23:52But as someone else's ghostwriter, you only know what they want you to know
23:56But Lee Wax isn't Cynthia's ghostwriter anymore, right?
23:59Now that she's dead, it's no longer a memoir
24:02It's a true crime story
24:04And it sounds like the true story is a whole lot juicier than Cynthia's lies
24:17Good morning
24:19Oh, hey
24:21Sorry, just been going over Lee Wax's interview notes
24:26As she spoke to Jared Swanstrom, he told her the same thing he told us
24:29Cynthia said the bomb blew early, she left that version out of her book
24:32That's because it contradicted Cynthia's latest story
24:35The girls argued when they discovered that Captain Pike was still on board
24:38And that Susan set the bomb alone
24:40According to the publisher, Cynthia has full approval over everything Lee Wax wrote
24:45It was her way or the highway
24:47You talked to the publisher?
24:48I am somewhat known in those circles
24:52Anyway, they didn't like it
24:54They were looking for a true crime tell-all
24:56And what they were getting was some sanitized bunch of remorseful boohooing
25:00They were getting ready to pull the plug
25:01And now?
25:02Well, now that Cynthia's murder's all over the media, they're back on board
25:05So long as the book takes a more sensationalized angle
25:08Kaboom!
25:09The true story of a domestic terrorist turned suburban housewife
25:12And the crime that shocked America
25:14Catchy
25:16So with Cynthia out of the way, Lee Wax is sitting on a potential bestseller
25:20People have killed for a lot less
25:27Beckett
25:30All right, bring him in
25:34What?
25:35Adam Pike's alibi fell apart
25:36He was lying about being at work on Tuesday night
25:41I didn't kill her
25:42I didn't even know where she was
25:45We're not gonna get anywhere if you keep lying to me
25:48I know you went to Westchester
25:50I spoke to Cynthia's husband
25:51He remembers seeing a guy just like you outside their house a couple weeks before she was murdered
25:59Don't make me put you in a lineup
26:03I just
26:03Wanted to talk to her
26:05How'd you find her?
26:06That writer
26:07The way she kept talking about what happened to my dad
26:10She knew things that only someone on that ship could know
26:14So I started following her around
26:17Eventually she led me to Cynthia Dern
26:19And why didn't you call the police?
26:21Because I wanted to look her in the eye
26:23I wanted to tell her none of it mattered
26:25Her blood money wouldn't buy our forgiveness
26:28What money?
26:29What do you mean by blood money?
26:31After I found out where Cynthia lived
26:33I went and told my mom
26:34I didn't know if we should call the feds or what
26:38She started crying
26:39She told me we've been getting money every month since the bombing
26:42Different amounts, sometimes more, sometimes less
26:44But every month
26:45And she thought that the money was coming from Cynthia Dern?
26:48The first envelope there was a note
26:51Please forgive me
26:53Susan Mailer was dead, Swanstrom was in prison
26:55There wasn't anybody else
26:57You know what this kind of evidence Cynthia could have been caught years ago
27:01Mom said without that money we wouldn't have made it
27:04She figured as long as Cynthia was free the money would keep coming
27:08So why did you lie to me about where you were last Tuesday?
27:17Because I was there
27:18At the hotel
27:20I followed her
27:21I was just gonna talk to her
27:23I spent an hour walking up and down that hallway trying to get up the courage to go and knock
27:27on that door
27:28You know, I was gonna do it
27:31But then someone got off the elevator and knocked on her door instead
27:35You saw her kill her?
27:36I didn't get a good look
27:39But I did hear them talking
27:41And I can tell you one thing
27:42What?
27:44It was a woman
27:47Lee Wax
27:49Lee Wax
27:50Beckett!
27:51It was Lee Wax
27:53Beckett
27:55Lee Wax
27:57Lee
27:59Lee Wax
28:00Lee
28:11murder are you people crazy i have an eyewitness who can place you at the sro where cynthia's body
28:16was found you had motive means and opportunity please only a novelist could come up with a twist
28:22this absurd as absurd as killing a woman to salvage your story drowning her in motor oil
28:28give you just the ending you needed i'm a true crime writer so i don't have your talent for fiction
28:35we know your publisher wanted to dump your contract because i told them that i thought
28:40cynthia was lying so you didn't believe her remorse was genuine when cynthia cried it was for herself
28:46she wanted to cash in and keep herself out of jail that's it well she must have felt some
28:50responsibility for what happened after all she sent the pikes money year after year
28:56what money every month since the bombing the pikes have been receiving money courtesy of
29:02cynthia durn only there's nothing about that in your notes because she never told me are you sure
29:07we're sure look the tuesday that cynthia was killed i was out to dinner with my publisher until after
29:13midnight so i couldn't have killed her remind me if i ever decide to write a memoir to never write
29:30why not because memoirs are about truth and i'm not a very truthful person it'd be too easy to make
29:36myself look good might be harder than you think maybe but i would sure start with the most generous
29:43thing i ever did
29:47you mean like how you anonymously sent money to your victims because you felt so guilty about what
29:52you've done the object of cynthia's memoir was to gain sympathy what could be more sympathetic than
29:58sending the pikes guilt money for 20 years it doesn't make sense that cynthia didn't tell lee wax
30:03unless the money didn't come from cynthia it had to be from cynthia swanstrom was in prison and
30:08susan malin was dead call and you're sure no one else was involved well just the three of them
30:13assuming you believe the fbi call you know we don't really have to talk about this anything to
30:18stop his honor here from talking about budget initiatives okay judge who was it that appointed
30:24you again now the fbi i believe but why take cynthia durn's word for anything that happened the night
30:30of the bombing when her own ghostwriter didn't even trust her you know the judge is right
30:36what do we actually know about what happened
30:45not much according to lee wax's notes captain pike heard two women arguing just before the explosion
30:52cynthia claims that she was trying to change susan's mind fold but if we assume cynthia was lying
30:57then maybe it was susan that wanted to save pike and cynthia that wanted to run raise 20 right
31:05but the bomb was already set so the three minute timer is already ticking the girls argue
31:10wasting precious seconds susan runs towards the ticking bomb to try to shut it down while cynthia
31:15runs for cover right susan gets to the bomb but too late boom which means susan maylor didn't die
31:21trying to set the bomb she died trying to save an innocent man's life fold it still doesn't explain
31:27where the money came from fold well what about it castle you're good with twists where'd the money
31:34come from thinking yeah well you might want to think up some chips for the pot because it looks like
31:39it's just you and me
31:40oh all right detective beckett i'm all in oh what's the matter you're afraid of a little action
31:50oh do us a favor detective beat his pants off yes please beat my pants off if you dare
31:56beckett do me proud to hell with proud make him cry like a little girl
32:05all right
32:22sorry fellas it's just not my night
32:26oh who's a good little boy who's a good little boy you are and you are and you are don't
32:33you ever
32:33get tired of winning castle you think so right but no well i think that's it for me detective
32:39it was a pleasure mr mayor sorry we couldn't solve your case and i'm sorry i couldn't make him cry
32:46like
32:46a little girl well it's not your fault detective no matter how down he gets he always manages to rise
32:52from the dead oh now that'd be a twist what the money had to come from cynthia because swanstrom
33:00was in jail and susan mailer was dead right right well what if susan mailer didn't die in that
33:06explosion what if she's still alive
33:20susan mailer alive her body was never found yeah because she was vaporized in the explosion well
33:26maybe she was thrown clear well then she would have been badly burned and would have needed care
33:30no one match your description ever checked in area hospitals mere details my good man um around here
33:35we call them back well then let's go get us some facts
33:41please don't think less of me i did what i had to do to survive
33:48these are from all over the place not the recent ones the recent ones are all the same
33:55lit it's pennsylvania
33:58if we're gonna road trip i'm gonna have to pee first
34:04i've never seen her before are you positive didn't he sound positive castle okay
34:09how about her
34:12she'd be older now how much older 20 years
34:19i don't think so that's what i get for listening to a mystery writer
34:23she might have scars or walk with a limp like she's been in an accident
34:29could be mary wright
34:32mary wright
34:34she comes in once a month or so buys a money order to send to her relatives in new york
34:40do you have her address
34:44it sounds naive now but um
34:49everything i did back then i did because i thought it would help
34:53we're not here because of the bombing
34:55susan we're here because of what you did to cynthia dern
34:58her body was found in a tub of motor oil
35:01but you already know that
35:03forensics is going through that room as we speak
35:06and believe me they will find something
35:08something that connects you to cynthia's death
35:11she should have just left it all alone
35:13she had a husband a good life
35:15well it wasn't cynthia once she decided on something well you just better not be in her way
35:20like that night on the tanker
35:22i saw the captain go below
35:24i don't know how he got back on board without us seeing you
35:27i i tried
35:30i was i was too late when the bomb exploded i was thrown overboard
35:36i can still feel the heat on my skin
35:41even today
35:42how did you survive without medical attention
35:52um a friend took me in a med student nurse me back to health
35:57i got a new identity
35:58then mary wright was born
35:59it's not hard to live like a ghost when everyone you love thinks you're dead
36:06i never contacted anyone from my former life
36:10not even my parents
36:12but you still sent money to the pikes
36:15they had a son
36:18medical bills
36:18i was responsible
36:22everything could have stayed
36:23just the way it was except
36:25except cynthia decided to write a book
36:27that reporter put a post on an environmental board asking for info on cynthia
36:33i emailed pretending to be an old friend of the group
36:35didn't take long for me to figure out that she had found cynthia and cynthia was lying about what happened
36:40on the ship
36:40you tracked her down
36:41you confronted her
36:44i threatened to turn myself in if she went through with the book
36:47give myself up tell the authorities
36:50everything
36:50she begged
36:52to meet with me first
36:54somewhere we could talk
36:55that's when you rented the room
36:57oh cynthia rented the room not me
36:59it was all part of her plan
37:01her plan
37:02her plan to murder me
37:05when i got there
37:06she poured me a drink
37:08let's toast
37:09to old friends
37:11she said
37:12only you see
37:13i don't drink
37:16i tried to leave
37:17she wouldn't let me
37:19i hid in the bathroom
37:22that's when i saw it
37:24a tub
37:25full of oil
37:28then i understood
37:31she didn't plan to talk to you
37:33she planned to kill you
37:34and make it look like suicide
37:36that wine
37:37was laced with a sleeping pill
37:39you were supposed to drink it
37:40and then drown in the oil
37:41and then the world would think that you were racked with guilt
37:44over the pikes all these years
37:46and that you finally decided to commit suicide
37:48once your body was discovered
37:50the public would clamor for the true story
37:52cynthia's true story
37:54with you
37:55now cast as the villain
38:04we struggled
38:06she lost her balance
38:07and fell against the sink
38:08and hit her head
38:16i should have called for help
38:17but i just wanted it to be over
38:22so i
38:24i dragged her to the tub
38:26and
38:31i
38:32i pushed her
38:33you see i was already dead
38:39i just wanted to keep it that way
39:01i heard you made an arrest
39:03you can hear all about it in the morning news
39:06oh come on
39:07after all the help i gave you on this case
39:09you can't give me any more information than that
39:11well i could
39:13but i just keep thinking that if it wasn't for you
39:15there wouldn't be a case in the first place
39:17what does that mean
39:19all the people from cynthia's past that you interviewed
39:22how did you manage to let every one of them know
39:25that you were in contact with her
39:28what are you implying
39:29you wanted someone to put two and two together
39:31and call the cops
39:32you wanted cynthia in prison
39:34that way you could tear up the contract you had with her
39:36and write the story you wanted to write
39:39with an ending that would sell more books
39:42i mean you couldn't call the authorities yourself
39:43what kind of story would that be
39:46that's a lovely
39:48theory
39:50but even if it's true
39:51i didn't kill cynthia dern
39:53i didn't even do anything
39:54illegal
39:56oh no no no
39:57it's not illegal
40:00it's just slimy
40:02so your uh
40:03all-access pass
40:05has been revoked
40:13oh and one more thing

40:34susan mailer is in booking
40:39all these years
40:40trying to do the right thing
40:41trying to make amends
40:43because of cynthia's greed
40:45she's gonna end up in jail
40:46if you're looking for a happy ending
40:48you've come to the wrong place
40:49next time i guess i'll just try that massage parlor on second avenue
40:53just kidding
40:53actually who needs a happy ending
40:55when you have a story with
40:56people pretending to be dead
40:58living under assumed names
41:00plotting fake suicides
41:02and murder for revenge
41:03you know i'm glad to see that you're entertained
41:05i however have to call michael goldman
41:07and let him know that his wife was a sociopath
41:09but you also get to call jared swanstrom
41:12and tell him that he's no longer responsible
41:14for susan mailer's death
41:15as a matter of fact susan mailer's still alive
41:17which is why cynthia is now dead
41:18wow you are all about the cloud aren't you
