00:07Back up your troubles and roll kit bag and smile, smile, smile Just think of all the items of hang
00:15and smile, yeah that's the style
00:19Won't be so worrying, it never was before So back up your troubles and roll kit bag and smile, smile,
00:29smile, smile, smile, smile
00:34A stabbing, Rick? Isn't that a little pedestrian for you?
00:37Usually when you call me it's to ask what happens if you put a head in a microwave
00:41Well this one's a little less made up
00:42The victim is the mother of that detective I've been following around
00:49The case has been cold 10 years.
00:51I just figured since you're the best forensic pathologist in the city,
00:54maybe you could catch something they missed.
00:56You know reality isn't fiction, right?
00:58The odds of finding anyone's killer after 10 years...
01:01Astronomical, I know, but I'd appreciate it if you took a look.
01:05I'll do what I can.
01:07Just don't go making any promises I can't keep.
01:10Of course not.
01:15Thanks again.
01:16I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
01:17I appreciate it.
01:20What was Dr. Death doing here?
01:23Just a little consulting.
01:24It sounded to me like you were looking into Detective Beckett's mother's murder.
01:28Must you always eavesdrop?
01:30Why wasn't eavesdropping having to walk by your office door?
01:33I live here too, you know.
01:34Yes, I'm aware.
01:37So does she know you're poking into her mother's case?
01:40What's the sense of telling her until I find something new?
01:43Well, you ever start to think you're invading her privacy?
01:47I'm not poking through her underwear drawer.
01:49I'm investigating her mother's murder.
01:51You are digging up her past, darling, without her permission.
01:54Now you either tell her or leave it alone.
01:56Oh my gosh, Dad!
01:59Dad, Dad, Dad!
01:59What is it?
02:01Dad, he asked me!
02:02Dad, he asked me!
02:04Who asked you?
02:05Owen, but I told him I had to ask you, but you'll say yes, right?
02:07Because I told him yes, but you have to say yes, so say yes.
02:09Yes?
02:10Yes!
02:11Yes!
02:12What am I saying yes to?
02:14The junior-senior prom.
02:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
02:17You are not a junior nor a senior.
02:19True, but Owen's a junior.
02:21Owen, I thought you said he was only 15.
02:23Yeah, he skipped a grade, but he's so cute, Dad.
02:25Please, please, please.
02:29If I say yes, will you promise to stay out past your bedtime, have a good time?
02:35Yes!
02:35Not, not too good a time.
02:37Dad, all we've done is hold hands.
02:38Ew, okay, please.
02:39Don't need details.
02:40Just...
02:41So I can go.
02:43Of course you can go.
02:46Oh, I'm going to need a dress.
02:48A beautiful dress, a dress, a dress, a dress!
02:51Thanks, Dad!
02:52So do you like this, Owen?
02:55I don't know.
02:55I haven't met him.
02:56You are letting her go out with someone that you've never met?
03:00What kind of a father are you?
03:07I'm not running a background check on your daughter's date.
03:10Oh, come on.
03:11She says he's quiet, he keeps to himself, and he lives with his parents.
03:14Tell me that doesn't sound like a serial killer to you.
03:16Who's a serial killer?
03:17Castle's daughter Alexis got invited to prom.
03:19It's her first real date.
03:21And you're worried he's a serial killer?
03:22You should be more worried he's a teenage boy.
03:24Oh, he's only 15.
03:26Satellite TV and the internet?
03:2815's the new 25.
03:29Dude's right.
03:30I was 15 once.
03:31Still aren't.
03:32If I had a daughter her age, I'd never let her out of the house.
03:35Thanks, guys.
03:36Mm-hmm.
03:36Car was towed in a few hours ago.
03:38Parking violations.
03:39When the attendant went to look for the VIN number, he found the Vic.
03:42Slumped over with a bag on his head.
03:46Six parking tickets and a tow sticker and no one bothers to look inside.
03:50Tended windows, sunshade on the windshield.
03:52You think someone would try to at least look inside?
03:54Yeah, welcome to New York.
03:57You got an ID?
03:58Yeah.
03:59Dr. Joshua Leeds, 37.
04:01According to the business cards in his wallet, he's a plastic surgeon.
04:05The card's also registered him as well.
04:07Any money in the wallet?
04:08Yeah.
04:08A couple hundred bucks.
04:10Well, I guess we can rule out robbery.
04:13Plastic bag and duct tape.
04:15Not a very efficient way to go somewhere.
04:17No.
04:18But it's very personal.
04:20All right.
04:21Find a notify next to Ken and see how long he's been missing.
04:23From the state of decay, I'd say about a week.
04:26That matches the date on the first parking ticket.
04:29Preliminary cause of death indicates asphyxiation, but I'll run toxicology just in case.
04:34The bag's pretty thin.
04:35Why wouldn't he just rip it off?
04:37He must have been restrained.
04:39That's only half the story.
04:41His fingernails were removed.
04:43And each finger presents signs of having been broken pre-mortem.
04:47Broken?
04:48If I had to guess, I'd say our doctor was tortured before he was killed.
05:08His fiancee, Courtney Morantz.
05:10She reported missing a week ago.
05:12CSU have any luck with the car?
05:14Running prints, testing fibers.
05:15We should have results by tomorrow.
05:16All right, thanks.
05:17Uh-huh.
05:22Ms. Morantz, I'm Kate Beckett.
05:24I'm the detective working on your fiancee's case.
05:26I'm very sorry about your loss.
05:29I was wondering if I could take a moment of your time.
05:32I knew it.
05:34When he didn't come home, I just felt it.
05:37How long were you engaged?
05:39Almost a year.
05:40We were gonna get married next month at the gardens.
05:45What do they want?
05:46Money?
05:46It doesn't appear to be a robbery.
05:50Then why?
05:51Was Josh involved in anything that might have brought him into contact with criminal elements?
05:55No.
05:56No, not my Josh.
05:58That's just not who he was.
05:59On the day he disappeared, did you notice anything different about him?
06:02Uh, different?
06:03Did he seem worried or scared or distracted?
06:07He was fine.
06:08I mean, we were gonna meet because we were gonna go taste some cakes.
06:14When he didn't show, I called the office and they said he'd left, so I called his cell phone, but
06:19he didn't pick up.
06:20If his office was in Midtown, do you have any idea why his car would be found on 133rd Street?
06:27133rd Street?
06:28He'd never go that far north.
06:29He always took the Midtown Tunnel to the LIE.
06:32And if he was gonna be late, he'd call.
06:36He'd always call.
06:38He'd always let me know.
06:44Anything on the canvas?
06:45Nada.
06:46The locals only remember seeing the car after the tickets.
06:49No security cameras on the street.
06:51Fiancee's story checks out.
06:52Cake shop confirmed she was there waiting.
06:54Heading to meet his fiancee at a cake shop in Great Neck, how do you wind up dead on a
06:57street in Harlem?
06:58Well, maybe he had secrets even his fiancee didn't know about.
07:01Like maybe he secretly made a living out of using his surgeon's skills to harvest organs off of tourists for
07:06the black market organ trade.
07:08Whoa!
07:08That was a good one. I'm right in that town.
07:11So instead of making up stories, we are going to establish a timeline.
07:16When did he get his first ticket?
07:18Last Wednesday morning.
07:19Okay, so you guys go to the Midtown garage where he kept his car and we'll hit his office.
07:22Cool.
07:22Okay.
07:25Hey, can I ask you something?
07:27Since when do you ask permission to ask questions?
07:30What about your mother's case?
07:34Have you ever thought about reopening it?
07:39What are you doing?
07:41Nothing. I just thought if we worked together.
07:43No.
07:45I have resources.
07:47Castle, you touch my mom's case and you and I are done.
07:51Do you understand?
07:54Okay.
08:01Why don't you want to investigate it?
08:07Same reason a recovering alcoholic doesn't drink.
08:13You don't think I haven't been down there?
08:14You don't think I haven't memorized every line in that file?
08:18My first three years on the force, every off-duty moment was spent looking for something someone missed.
08:27It took me a year of therapy to realize if I didn't let it go, it was going to destroy
08:31me.
08:31And so I let it go.
08:43Sorry.
08:44I didn't know.
08:46Yeah, well, now you do.
09:02Well, this must be the place.
09:06What is it with men and boobs, anyway?
09:08Biological. We can't help it.
09:09But doesn't it bother you that they're so obviously not real?
09:14Santa's not real. We still love opening his presents.
09:18It wasn't like him to disappear.
09:20I think that deep down we all knew that, um, something was wrong.
09:25Did he seem agitated at all?
09:26No, I mean, it was pretty much business as usual.
09:29Except for the wedding.
09:30We were trying to clear a schedule for the honeymoon.
09:32When was the last time you saw him?
09:34Last Tuesday.
09:35He was on his way to meet his fiancé.
09:37What time did he leave the office?
09:38Um...
09:39Around 5.30?
09:40Yeah.
09:41When I called at 6, he was fine.
09:43He said he was in traffic at the tunnel.
09:45He'd left Manhattan then.
09:47Why would he come back?
09:50Did Dr. Leeds have any enemies?
09:52Anyone that he had operated on who had had complications or a bad experience?
09:56None of his patients had complications.
09:58That doesn't mean that they were always happy.
10:02Cosmetic surgery is about self-image.
10:04For some people, it changes their lives.
10:06For others, nothing's ever enough.
10:08Did any of his patients ever threaten him?
10:10One.
10:12J.C. Goldberg?
10:14She was a patient of Dr. Leeds until about three months ago.
10:16What happened?
10:17She wanted a facelift.
10:19So?
10:20So sure he had three.
10:22Dr. Leeds refused to perform the operation.
10:24So what'd she do?
10:25She sued him.
10:27He was thrown out of court, of course.
10:29That's when the threat started.
10:37At the very least, she should be arrested for violating the laws of nature.
10:41Check this out.
10:42Tracy Goldberg's husband, Jack, had her committed to Bellevue a month ago for psychiatric treatment for her little obsession.
10:48Guess who testified in support of her commitment?
10:51Dr. Joshua Leeds.
10:52Mm-hmm.
10:53Mandatory one-month treatment program she was released last week.
10:55Three days before our doctor went missing.
10:57Mentally unstable plastic surgery chick.
11:00That is way better than harvesting organs.
11:01Get her in here.
11:04Wow.
11:05Look at her.
11:09How can anyone do that to themselves?
11:11Right?
11:12Like she escaped from the island of Dr. Moreau.
11:14Come on, guys.
11:15She's not an animal.
11:16She's a human being.
11:17Yeah, I know, but...
11:18Wait, are you being sincere according to the elephant man?
11:22Oh, saucy.
11:26Mrs. Goldberg, I'm Detective Beckett.
11:28This is Richard Castle, the consultant at the department.
11:31What's this all about, detective?
11:32Mrs. Goldberg, are you familiar with a plastic surgeon named Dr. Joshua Leeds?
11:37Yes.
11:38You recently sued him for malpractice.
11:40That's correct.
11:41For refusing to perform elective cosmetic surgery, specifically a facelift, facial implants, and liposuction.
11:46I can assure you, each procedure was medically necessary.
11:51Dr. Leeds didn't seem to think so.
11:53Well, that arrogant bastard thought he could play God.
11:55Well, if you wanted the surgery so badly, why don't you just see another lips?
12:00Doc, doctor.
12:02Because I wanted the best.
12:04Who is he to deny me the best?
12:06So you threatened to ruin him.
12:08Why does he get to tell me what I can and cannot do?
12:11Why does he get to decide what I look like?
12:14Is that why you killed him?
12:16What?
12:16Dr. Leeds was murdered last week.
12:19Murdered?
12:19A couple of days after you were released from the psychiatric treatment facility that Leeds helped commit you to.
12:24That's motive and opportunity, counselor.
12:27I said I'd ruin him, not kill him. Big difference.
12:30Then I suppose you won't mind telling me where you were last Tuesday night.
12:37So, where was she?
12:39She was in the hospital.
12:41Getting more surgery?
12:42Yep.
12:44What's she got left to operate on?
12:47Oh no.
12:48Oh yes.
12:49Seriously?
12:49What could they possibly do down there?
12:51Well, apparently quite a lot.
12:55Well, if Leeds had a reputation of turning people away, maybe there's someone else out there pissed off.
12:58Yeah, Esposito and Ryan are already looking through the patient list, but the CSU came back clean from the car.
13:03It would be almost impossible for a run-of-the-mill revenge murderer to be that invisible.
13:07You thinking it's professional?
13:08I don't know. Mrs. Goldberg had enough money to pay someone to do it, and her surgery is a pretty
13:12convenient alibi.
13:14But torture and suffocation, that doesn't seem like the work of a disgruntled trophy wife turning 50.
13:19Surgeon with broken fingers? That's someone sending a message.
13:30What do you think?
13:32You look beautiful.
13:33Dad, you say that about every dress. Don't you think this makes my skin look pasty?
13:38Sweetheart, I want you to know, no matter how you think you look, you are perfect exactly the way you
13:44are.
13:44You're not helping.
13:46Oh, God, no. Hideous.
13:48Here. Try this.
13:51All right. Good color for you.
13:55What are you doing?
13:57What?
13:58You look hideous? Are you trying to give her body image issues?
14:01Oh, newsflash. She already has body image issues. It's an intrinsic part of being a woman.
14:05Everyone in the world has some part of herself that she absolutely hates.
14:09Her hands are too small. Her feet are too big. Her hair's too straight, too curly. Her ears stick out.
14:15Her, oh, God, her butt's too flat. Her nose is too big.
14:19And, you know, nothing you can say will change how we feel. What men don't understand is the right clothes,
14:26the right shoes, the right makeup, just, it hides the flaws we think we have.
14:31They make us look beautiful to ourselves. That's what makes us look beautiful to others.
14:39Used to be. All she needed to feel beautiful was a pink tutu and a plastic tiara.
14:45We spend our whole lives trying to feel that way again.
14:51Well.
14:59What do you think?
15:01I think it's you.
15:07Staff just went through all the files. No other red flags. Any dark secrets in here?
15:13Yeah. Dr. Leeds had a weakness.
15:17Energy bars.
15:19Volunteered at Doctors International. Did pro bono work. This guy's a boy scout. Hell, he didn't even have any porn
15:23on his computer.
15:24That's weird.
15:25I know. You know what he had in his locked desk drawer?
15:27Fit the scotch.
15:29Checkbook. The guy locked up his checkbook.
15:32What about these folders?
15:34Wedding stuff. Tux deposits. Catering invoices.
15:38Maybe some angry couple killed him for their wedding venue. Hmm?
15:41It's as good a theory as any.
15:46Hey. These aren't all wedding files.
15:53Inside.
15:55All the patient information is blacked out.
15:58Maybe Dr. Leeds has a secret after all.
16:04It's his handwriting, but I've never seen this file before.
16:08Can you identify that patient?
16:11Not from his notes. Just that it was a male, 55 years old.
16:15How about this kind of procedure?
16:17This is impossible. I'm his primary nurse. I run his surgical team. He never operates without me.
16:23Apparently he did.
16:26Mario, check on Dr. Leeds' calendar. What do you have for March 18th?
16:32He was supposed to be down at Mercy attending the panel on reconstructive surgery.
16:39Why would he lie?
16:41Why would he operate without me?
16:43According to the hospital, the procedure lasted nine hours.
16:46Neither the assisting nor the anesthesiologist were with the hospital.
16:49Both were brought in by Dr. Leeds. Neither of his regulars.
16:53A nine-hour mystery operation he didn't want his own people to know about.
16:56The hospital must have had some record of the patient.
16:59Get this. The hospital can't find the files, like it never happened.
17:03Who did you talk to?
17:04Patient information.
17:05Well, that was your first mistake.
17:06You want to find someone at a hospital who had a treatment there.
17:09There's only one department to go to where nothing ever falls through the crimes.
17:15Billing.
17:16Someone had to pay for it, right?
17:27No, I appreciate it.
17:30Well, it looks like our mystery patient's hospital bills were paid promptly and in full.
17:34By whom?
17:35Wire transfer.
17:37Esposito.
17:37Yeah?
17:38See what you can find on this account number.
17:40All right.
17:40So, did Alexis find a dress yet?
17:42Yeah.
17:43Yeah.
17:43Cute one, too.
17:44Boy.
17:46I can't believe my little girl's going to prom.
17:48My only comfort now is the long-standing tradition of torturing the boyfriend.
17:52What do you mean?
17:53You know, the time-honored hazing that goes on in those few moments we share where he and
17:58I are alone just before my daughter descends the stairs.
18:01I remember the terror of meeting my dates, old man.
18:04What'd he do?
18:05Check my wallet for condoms.
18:07Showed me his gun collection.
18:08My hands were shaking so bad I could barely put on the corsage.
18:11What'd your dad do?
18:13I...
18:14I don't know.
18:15I was in my room.
18:16How was your date when you finally came out?
18:19You know, actually, now that you mention it, he looked terrified.
18:23And this whole time I thought he was scared of me.
18:25Nope.
18:25And now it's my turn.
18:27What are you planning?
18:29Something befitting the name of Kessel.
18:32Yo.
18:33You're never gonna believe this.
18:34What'd you find?
18:35That account the money was wired from belongs to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
18:39Whatever the procedure was, Uncle Sam paid for it.
18:42I guess we can rule out boob job.
18:44Why would the DOJ pay for a cosmetic procedure?
18:46There's only one reason.
18:48To change someone's identity.
18:50So you think the guy was in witness protection?
18:52If Dr. Leeds was tortured, I think that our killer was trying to find this guy.
18:55We better find him first.
18:57How do you find someone who's in witness protection?
18:59We ask the people who are protecting him.
19:03Ask Hard Candy? Good luck.
19:05Hard candy?
19:06Assistant U.S. Attorney Candace Robinson.
19:09She makes mobsters cry.
19:10I'm sorry, detective, but you must know that information on a protected witness is confidential.
19:15Whether or not you have proof that we employed Dr. Leeds, or whether or not you have proof that an
19:19operation took place is irrelevant.
19:23Not to my victim, it's not.
19:25Not to his family, and certainly not to his fiancé.
19:29They were planning a life together that they will never have.
19:32Look, I am not unsympathetic to your situation, but we all have our jobs to do.
19:38Ms. Robinson, doesn't it matter to you that the man that you employed was killed, and whoever murdered him might
19:44be looking for your witness?
19:46Detective, you are asking me to expose a witness during an ongoing federal investigation, and I am telling you that
19:52is not going to happen.
19:54So what now?
19:55This witness of theirs is key. Without knowing who he is or who's after him, there's no way of getting
20:00to the next step.
20:01There's another way to figure out who that witness is.
20:04Yeah? How?
20:05Candace Robinson's office deals almost exclusively with organized crime.
20:08So?
20:09So what if we ask the other side?
20:11You want to ask the mob who the witness is?
20:13Clearly they already know who he is if they're trying to kill him.
20:16Like you said, he's got to be a significant witness in a pretty big case.
20:18So what do we do, hop in the car, drive down the Bada Bing?
20:21I know a guy. He owes me a favor.
20:22You know a guy?
20:25What is this, a mammoth play?
20:26From the early days of Derek Storm.
20:28He's a coppo with one of the families. He's actually pretty nice.
20:31For a criminal?
20:32I'm just saying maybe he knows something. Maybe he can tell us something the feds won't.
20:36I keep forgetting he replays.
20:56Oh, wow. I'm a friend. I'm a friend.
20:59Sal, take him out back. Kill him.
21:03Sal, what?
21:04Sal!
21:04It's not me.
21:05Oh, Jesus.
21:06It's me, buddy.
21:07Vito! Vito! Wait! Vito! Wait! Hold up!
21:09I was just messing with him.
21:17Not funny, Sal.
21:18No, you're right. No, it wasn't funny.
21:20It was friggin' hilarious.
21:24Richard friggin' Castle.
21:25Master of the macabre.
21:28What brings you down off your cloud of money?
21:36The guy you're talkin' about, he worked for the Spillano family.
21:40Jimmy the rat Moran.
21:41He was an underboss.
21:43He was a favorite of the old man's, but he got squeezed out by Junior when the old man bit
21:47it.
21:48Rumor has it that he turned states a few months ago, and the Spillanos are runnin' scared.
21:54Apparently Moran's got it all.
21:55Bills are laden, calendars, ledgers, the whole shootin' match.
21:58Enough to take down all the top guys.
22:00Well, no wonder he wanted to change his face.
22:02Hey, if they got to the surgeon, it's only a matter of time before they get to him.
22:07When I wrote Storm Warning-
22:08Oh, I love that book.
22:11You told me that certain mob hitmen have signature styles or weapons.
22:16That's right.
22:16Okay, well this killer used a plastic bag with duct tape to suffocate his victim.
22:20Does that sound like anyone you know?
22:22You'd have to ask the Spillanos about that one.
22:25Yeah, I don't think they'd like that.
22:27Probably not.
22:28I bet you I know somebody else who might know.
22:31Who?
22:31Jimmy the rat.
22:36Jimmy the rat Moran, AKA Jimmy Pretty.
22:38Been linked to gambling, loan sharking, and extortion schemes.
22:42You know, you want a guy to be loyal, you probably should have nicknamed him the rat.
22:45Okay, so let's start off by digging up all known associates of the Spillano family.
22:49Yeah, sure.
22:50And while we're at it, we'll just bang our heads against a brick wall.
22:52You know, just for fun.
22:55Professional hits are the hardest to close.
22:56Because of the anonymous nature of the murders, the usual rules like motive and relationship to victim don't apply.
23:02We need to talk to Moran.
23:04Gotta see what he knows.
23:05Yeah.
23:08What makes you think your friend Hard Candy's gonna cooperate with you now?
23:11You have your sources, I have mine.
23:13Oh, it's not your ex-boyfriend, is it?
23:15Mr. FBI, tall, brooding, and judgmental.
23:18Why, yes, in fact, it is.
23:19Is that a problem?
23:20No, not for me.
23:21But then again, I'm not the one he's trying to get back together with.
23:34Well, this is a nice surprise.
23:36No, hopefully this is a nice surprise as well.
23:40Sprinkles.
23:41Am I really that predictable?
23:43Well, maybe I just know you too well.
23:45I mean, we did date once.
23:47Yeah.
23:50Oh, no, thanks.
23:52I don't.
23:52I don't eat sprinkles anymore.
23:54Right.
23:56It's okay.
23:58Is this the part where you asked me to bend the rules to help you on your case?
24:03Am I really that predictable?
24:05Maybe I just know you too well.
24:10What do you need?
24:12I want to talk to Jimmy Moran.
24:15Jimmy Moran the mobster?
24:16Yeah.
24:19What makes you think I can help with that?
24:21The FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office have them in witness protection.
24:25And you know this how?
24:27Word on the street.
24:31Look, even if it's true, I don't work organized crime cases.
24:35Oh, come on, Will. You and I both know how this works.
24:37You reach out to the agent in charge, he talks to the AUSA running the case,
24:42and then I get to talk to Jimmy Moran.
24:44And I do this for you, why?
24:47Right, let me put this another way.
24:49The Spolanos know that Jimmy is cooperating with the government.
24:53We know that they want him dead because they murdered the surgeon you feds hired to change his face.
24:58You guys put that doctor in harm's way, so you're doing it for him, not for me.
25:10This is it.
25:12Don't be nervous.
25:17Dad, no, no severed heads.
25:20That's, I, it's time honor.
25:22Richard, really.
25:24Take it off.
25:26Come on.
25:28Fine.
25:39Hi.
25:40Hi.
25:41Hi.
25:42You look, uh, really nice.
25:44Thanks, you too.
25:46Baby, find the lens.
25:47Dad.
25:48I'm not here.
25:49Oh.
25:50Dad, Graham, this is Owen.
25:52Hi.
25:53Delighted.
25:54Hi.
25:54Pleasure.
25:55Oh, don't they look adorable and a corsage.
25:59Oh, ah.
26:00Here, it goes on your wrist.
26:02Oh, okay.
26:04Oh.
26:05It's beautiful.
26:06It's beautiful.
26:07Ready?
26:08Yeah.
26:08Yeah, okay.
26:09Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa.
26:10That's it?
26:11I don't even get a chance to ask him if he's killed him yet?
26:12Daddy hasn't.
26:14But I might.
26:16All right, get out of here.
26:17Don't do anything I would do.
26:18Bye.
26:19Enjoy yourselves.
26:20Bye.
26:21Hey.
26:22Oh.
26:23Oh.
26:25My little girl, she's all grown up.
26:28Well, at least one of you is.
26:30Uh.
26:30A severed head.
26:32Ooh, I was just getting started, too.
26:33I was gonna break into my Chris Walken.
26:35Whoa.
26:36Tell me, little man.
26:38Have you ever been to prison?
26:40Very funny.
26:41Very funny.
26:41But leave the acting to me, honey.
26:46Hey, Detective Beckett.
26:47I'm so glad you called.
26:49Regale me.
26:51Castle?
26:51It's my Chris Walken.
26:52What do you think?
26:53Uh.
26:54Needs work.
26:55In all fairness, part of it's visual.
26:57Listen, Sorensen's on board.
26:59He pulled some strings and got someone at the U.S. Attorney's Office to cave.
27:01He's gonna let you question Moran.
27:02But we gotta be there in an hour.
27:04Are you in?
27:04Am I in?
27:05Is the Pope Catholic?
27:08It'll grow on you.
27:10Seriously?
27:11Parking garage?
27:12What?
27:13It's pretty cliche.
27:16Yeah, well, no one said that the feds were original.
27:19Yeah, next thing they'll tell me they'll be pulling up in a black suburban with tinted windows.
27:25Wow, someone's been watching way too many Bruckheimer films.
27:32Five minutes, Detective.
27:33That's all you get.
27:35NYPD, thanks to you for your cooperation.
27:37Want me to watch the monkey?
27:38That's okay.
27:39Monkey comes with me.
27:41Suit yourself.
27:42Hey, I really like your car.
27:44It's very nondescript.
27:53Mr. Moran, I'm Detective Beckett.
27:55This is Richard Castle.
27:57Richard Castle, like the novelist.
27:59Exactly like.
28:00I thought you guys were cops.
28:02He's consulting on the case.
28:04Look, I already told the feds everything I know.
28:07You want info on the Spillanos?
28:08Ask them.
28:09Actually, we're not here about the Spillanos.
28:11We're here about Dr. Leeds, the man who operated on you.
28:14What about him?
28:15He was found murdered last week.
28:16Murdered?
28:18A doc was murdered?
28:20Asphyxiated.
28:20They duct taped a plastic bag over his head.
28:22We believe the Spillanos may have been involved.
28:25May have been?
28:27May have been?
28:29Given how Leeds was killed and given your knowledge of the organization,
28:32we were hoping that you would be able to help identify them.
28:35Hey!
28:36Hey!
28:37What's wrong?
28:37Get me out of here!
28:39We can help, Mr. Moran.
28:40We can find the guys who did this, but you have to let me know
28:43if there was anyone in the Spillano family that kills this way.
28:46Yeah.
28:47Yeah, there is.
28:49Me.
28:50The duct tape, the bag, that was my M.O.
28:52Don't you get it?
28:53They're sending a message to me, and if they got to the duct,
28:57take me back!
28:58Now!
29:00Hey, how'd it go?
29:01Oh, do the words unmitigated disaster mean anything?
29:05What happened?
29:06We scared a key witness in a huge federal case so bad that now he won't testify.
29:10Oh, is that all?
29:11Beckett, just got a call from DOJ.
29:14Sir, I can explain it.
29:15No, no, it's Sorensen.
29:16On the way back to the FBI safe house with Moran,
29:19someone pulled up next to him and opened fire.
29:21He was in the back with the witness.
29:23They both were shot.
29:32The car was a late model sedan with dealer plates.
29:34Guy pulls up at the light with a mask on, blew the tires,
29:36and starts shooting at the back of the vehicle.
29:38I thought the glass would be bulletproof.
29:40They use cop killers.
29:41Teflon rounds went right through the door.
29:45He's still in surgery.
29:48Moran's gonna be okay, though.
29:56You wanna talk?
29:57There's nothing to talk about.
29:59I'm the one who pushed for it, and I'm the one who got Will involved.
30:02There's no way you could have known this was gonna happen.
30:04Are you sure about that?
30:06Because their vehicle was attacked, leaving our meat.
30:09So?
30:10So we were followed.
30:12Someone who knew about the investigation found out about the meat.
30:15We led them to Moran's.
30:16So yeah, I should have known.
30:18And if I were a better cop, I would have.
30:26You think this is your fault?
30:29Yeah, you pushed for it.
30:31Not because it's your job, but because you care.
30:35Most people come up against a wall.
30:37They give up.
30:40Not you.
30:42You don't let go.
30:45You don't back down.
30:48It's what makes you extraordinary.
30:56He's gonna make it.
30:58He's gonna be okay.
31:17I, uh, I had a good time.
31:21Me too.
31:34Good night.
31:37Night.
31:52You had fun?
31:55As a matter of fact, I did.
31:59This dating thing was kinda nice.
32:02I was Owen.
32:03Don't worry, I closed my eyes for the kissing part.
32:05Yeah, me too.
32:09You know you didn't have to wait up.
32:11It's my job.
32:12I wait up.
32:13I make sure you're alright.
32:15But tonight, I realized I'm not gonna be doing that for much longer.
32:19Dad.
32:20A couple years, you're gonna go off to college.
32:21You're gonna get married.
32:22You're gonna have kids.
32:23And I'm only gonna see you on holidays.
32:27Until some gold digger steals all my money.
32:29But then I get to move in with you.
32:31Wow.
32:32I feel like I just lost 30 years of my life.
32:34That's how it happens.
32:35One day, you're in two twos.
32:37And the next day, you're too old for severed heads.
32:43Dad, don't worry.
32:44No matter how old I get, I'll always be your little girl.
32:49Promise.
32:50Promise.
32:50Promise.
32:58I'll go to bed.
33:00Okay.
33:41Desk officer said she came in at four this morning.
33:44She's been at the board ever since.
33:45She called us in at 6 a.m. to recheck every person we talked to on the case.
33:50And she's had, like, nine double espressives.
34:01Hey, I've been reading on the internet about this new thing called sleep.
34:04It's supposed to be real good for you.
34:06Shh.
34:09When I gave you that little speech last night,
34:12I really didn't mean for you to go all beautiful mind on me.
34:15It wasn't anyone at the U.S. attorney's office.
34:17They wouldn't need us to find him,
34:19so it had to be someone that we talked to.
34:22You don't think it was my mafia connection?
34:24If he's in a rival family,
34:26then they would want Moran alive to testify
34:28because if the feds take down the Spillanos,
34:30then the other families can take over their territories.
34:31No.
34:33We are looking for someone
34:35who had access to the doctor before we got the case.
34:38So that leaves the fiancé and his staff.
34:41Yeah, except the fiancé is clean,
34:43alibied and accounted for last night.
34:45Phone records don't indicate any calls to unknown numbers.
34:48I thought you already ran his staff up.
34:50We did.
34:51And there were no records of anything
34:52to indicate ties to organized crime.
34:54What about last night?
34:56Maggie Dow was at dinner with friends.
34:58Mario Guerrero worked late packing patient files.
35:00And the senior nurse, Julia Hammond,
35:02claimed she was a home alone.
35:03What was Mario doing packing patient files last night?
35:06They're closing up shop.
35:07Patient files are all going to new doctors.
35:09It's just, doesn't that seem like a weird thing
35:11to be doing on a Friday night?
35:12Yeah, well, when you're a low man on the totem pole,
35:15that's what life is like.
35:16People think they can call you into work
35:17at 6 a.m. on a Saturday.
35:20Julia Hammond and Maggie Dowd,
35:22how long did they work for Dr. Leeds?
35:24Uh, Hammond was with him 10 years.
35:26Maggie came on a few months back.
35:27What?
35:28Because our low man on the totem pole,
35:30Mario Guerrero, started working for the doctor
35:32about a month ago.
35:34We checked him.
35:35We even called his nursing school.
35:36He's clean.
35:37Check again.
35:38We can't all be clean.
35:40Where are you going?
35:41To see if Mario was actually
35:43at the office Friday night.
35:47Detective, is everything okay?
35:48Mario, I need you to come with me.
35:50Why?
35:50We need to ask you some questions.
35:52Did I do something wrong?
35:54Beckett.
35:55It's Maggie.
35:57What?
35:58Maggie.
35:59We double-checked everything,
36:00even called the nursing schools again.
36:02This time, we had him send pictures.
36:04The one of Maggie?
36:06It's a different girl.
36:08It's Maggie.
36:09Where's Maggie Dowd?
36:10She didn't come in today.
36:11Why?
36:12Detective?
36:15Is Dr. Leeds affiliated with St. Marcus Hospital?
36:18Yeah, that's where we do our procedures.
36:20If she has a hospital ID...
36:21She can finish the job.
36:23You're off the hook.
36:26But don't leave town.
36:48Room's restricted.
36:49Need to see your ID?
36:50Do you have a Maggie Dowd on your list?
36:54He's on the roster.
36:55You can let her through.
37:12I gotta say, Jimmy, you're a hard man to find.
37:15Took me weeks to even find out that you changed your face.
37:20It's what they use in lethal injection.
37:23It's not as much fun as a plastic bag.
37:26But it does the trick.
37:30Oh, and I got a message from Junior, Jimmy.
37:35He says...
37:36Go to hell.
37:39Go to hell.
37:53Hi.
37:59you're under arrest for the murder of dr leads and the attempted murder of jimmy moran
38:03you too late oh no oh god
38:10oh don't worry it's not attached to anything it's like we knew you were coming attempted
38:15murder of a federal witness what's that going for these days 25 to life
38:29she's all yours looks like you managed to set things right with the u.s attorney's office
38:33to turn states when moran recovers the feds will have two witnesses against the spolano's only
38:38maggie back there at the length of the murder oh but her real name is carla dante they call her
38:41carla cold blood she's been killing for the family for five years now when jimmy dropped
38:46diamond spolano's sent their best lady hitman a real blow for women's rights and a real maggie
38:52doubt works for a hospital in seattle she had no idea that they had stolen her identity carla even
38:58pulled a recommendation off of a job hunting site in order to apply for the position with leads
39:02originally she thought she was going to get a photograph of moran when she couldn't she went
39:05after leads and when leads didn't talk she killed him but why stay around the office if she left
39:10before leads's body was found it would have looked suspicious and she probably didn't think he'd be
39:13sitting around for a week and we showed up and she waited to see how far we'd get it's good
39:18work
39:18detective very good work thank you sir you know sir i never thought that i would be saying this but
39:27i don't think i could have done it without castle where's castle anyway the original me concluded that
39:34the stab wounds were random now maybe the killer got lucky but you see this wound here yeah it's a
39:42low
39:42angle thrust to the kidney the wound size indicated that the knife was twisted her body would have
39:49gone into immediate shock all about these well their angles indicate that they were delivered
39:54after she was immobilized and on the ground they're just for show this is the one that killed her
40:01this is sounding less like a random killing more like a targeted murder
40:07there's more on a hunch i checked the city me files to see if this was an isolated incident
40:14and found three other stabbings around that time that the me working the case dismissed as
40:21random were they related are you sure you want to know
40:33you have to tell her you know
40:36do you know what this would do to her you have information that could lead to her mother's killer
40:40you can't keep that from her i know but she said if i open the file that we'd be through
41:09stop making me laugh oh come on it's not like you've been shot or something
41:15but i thought you were over sprinkles maybe not
41:26this is the writer monkey as he's still doing here haven't you finished your book yet
