TVTranscript
00:01There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people.
00:04Psychopaths and mystery writers.
00:06I'm the kind that pays better.
00:07Who am I?
00:08I'm Rick Castle.
00:09Castle.
00:10Castle.
00:10I really am ruggedly handsome, aren't I?
00:13Every writer needs inspiration, and I've found mine.
00:15Detective Kate Beckett.
00:16Beckett.
00:16Beckett.
00:17Nicky Heath.
00:18The character he's basing on you.
00:19And thanks to my friendship with the mayor, I get to be on her case.
00:22I'd be happy to let you spank me.
00:24And together we catch killers.
00:25Make a pretty good team, you know, like Starsky and Hutch.
00:28Turner and Hooch.
00:29She do remind me a little of Hoot.
00:49We love you.
00:50I love you.
01:03What is it about full moon that's bringing all the crazies?
01:08I don't know. You tell me.
01:15Hey, Karpowski, how's it going?
01:17Same old Samuel. You, Becca?
01:19I can't complain.
01:25You guys should really sell tickets. I mean, you got everything.
01:29Madness, mayhem. Now all you need is...
01:35Beckett.
01:40Ashley Cosway, 32. Couples therapist.
01:44Husband found her just before midnight.
01:46I was picking her up on his way home after the St. John's game at the Garden.
01:49Any witnesses?
01:49None so far, but I did find a receipt for this take-out right here.
01:53Dinner for two.
01:54Yeah, it's from Szechuan Walk over on 9th.
01:56Receipt doesn't match any of the cards in Vic's wallet.
01:59Husband recognize the number?
02:01Mm-mm.
02:02When was it charged?
02:036.02 p.m.
02:04Lainey puts the time of death around 8.
02:06Whoever she had dinner with may have been the last person to see her alive.
02:09Or the first one to see her dead.
02:10Run the card.
02:13You know, if this was one of those super-sciencey forensic shows, stick some electrodes in these
02:18fishes' brains, get a fisheye view of whatever they saw.
02:27Dr. Parrish.
02:29Why don't they change dress code downtown?
02:31Well, unlike you, I don't sit around work all night waiting for the next Vic to show.
02:35Quit looking at the girls, Castle.
02:37Roger that.
02:39Multiple GSWs, entries look fairly small caliber, probably a .22.
02:44Psycho the Rapist?
02:45You're out of time?
02:47Looks like a patient lost their patience.
02:50Also, it's command of grammar.
02:52Your should be U, or possibly R-E, as in U-R.
02:55It's not even a tough one, nothing like when to use who or whom.
02:58Do you really think that's the takeaway here, Castle?
03:01I'm just saying, whoever killed her also murdered the English language.
03:05Any signs of struggle?
03:07Well, bruises on both arms.
03:09Check for fibers in here, see if our killer left anything behind.
03:12Okay.
03:16Castle.
03:18Uh, no, she, uh, she never discussed her patience.
03:22Ash was, uh, was very professional that way.
03:24What was she doing here so late?
03:26Uh, she always would have a couple nights a month where she'd work late, writing up case notes.
03:32I'd use that as a time to go up with the boys and have a boys' night, and when I'd
03:34get back, I'd walk her home.
03:35Did you know who she was having dinner with?
03:37No.
03:38I mean, unless someone called her after we spoke.
03:40What was that?
03:41It was before I left work, six-ish.
03:43I was, uh, I was heading out to the game.
03:45What did you talk about?
03:46Just a meaningless check-in, and I...
03:49Right now, I remember I didn't say I love you.
03:55Thank you, Mr. Causeway.
03:57Yeah.
03:59I got another.
04:00Pop and drop on a hundredth and second.
04:02Full moon strikes again.
04:03All right, you guys go on uptown, and I'll finish up here.
04:06So much for my famous warm honey milk with Jenny tonight.
04:09Did I just say that loud?
04:14Her husband calls before six, and the food's picked up at six-oh-two.
04:18She knew who she was having dinner with.
04:21Someone with bad grammar.
04:24A, uh, warm milk nightcap with your lady.
04:27That is sad, bro.
04:29It helps her sleep.
04:30How about the sound of your voice?
04:31It doesn't...
04:33works on me.
04:34How you doing, Dr. Perlmutter?
04:35Shh.
04:37The body is speaking.
04:39What's it saying?
04:41It's saying someone shot me.
04:43One to the midsection.
04:4438, maybe even a 45.
04:46He was shot at close range and from behind.
04:49It's cold.
04:50Yeah, well, that's the living for you.
04:52You have any ID?
04:53Uh, wallet's gone.
04:55No watch, no jewelry.
04:56Maybe a mugging gone bad.
04:57Well, looky-loo said she recognized him from the neighborhood.
05:00Gave his input at Officer Hoogamaphase over there.
05:04Hoogamaphase?
05:06Nice to see you're making an effort to bond with the rank-and-file, Perlmutter.
05:15It's not like you're just leaving yourself a note, you know, to buy bread on the way home.
05:19You're writing on a person you just murdered.
05:22You're trying to make a point.
05:24A point you care a great deal about, presumably, because you just killed someone to make it.
05:28So how do you not make sure that you're using the proper language to make that point?
05:32Frank Anderson, retired middle school math teacher from IS-161.
05:36You want in?
05:37Uh, no, thanks.
05:38Full up.
05:47So, how'd you find the body?
05:50On the ground?
05:51Was he positioned in a creepy way?
05:54Yeah, like a guy who was shot.
05:57Oh.
05:59So, just your garden-variety homicide robbery, huh?
06:04Actually, poppin' drops are some of the hardest cases to close.
06:06Randomness of the victim, anonymous nature of the crime.
06:09Takes some real serious detective work.
06:11Okay.
06:12Well, if you guys want any help, you know where to find me.
06:15Help?
06:17Did you just say help?
06:19Don't worry about us, Castle.
06:21We'll probably close the arms before your therapist.
06:23Really?
06:24Mm-hmm.
06:24Well, perhaps you'd like to make things interesting.
06:28Whoa.
06:29Wait.
06:31You saying you want to wager on who solves our case first?
06:34That's sick, bro.
06:37Fifty bucks?
06:38We win, you pay us both.
06:39Deal.
06:44Not a word to Beckett, okay?
06:46If she finds out about this, she'll shoot us.
06:50Secrets, murder, and gambling.
06:52Three of my favorite pastimes.
06:55We're the best, man, Wayne.
06:57May he.
07:03Richard, that's appalling.
07:04Wagering on death.
07:06They're already dead, mother.
07:07And who's to say that catching killers cannot be fun?
07:10Hey, Dad, are you working tonight?
07:11Maybe.
07:12Why?
07:13Oh, I just have math club till six,
07:15and then I wanted to take Owen out
07:16for a birthday banana split at Serendipity.
07:18I just want to do something special
07:20because things have been a little rocky with us lately.
07:23Nothing smooths rocky like Rocky Road.
07:26Just remember, it's a school night.
07:27Be home by midnight.
07:28Dad, I'll be home by nine.
07:30Love you.
07:31Love you.
07:31Bye, darling.
07:32Bye, guys.
07:33Ah, young love.
07:34First banana splits, then splitting assets.
07:37Ah, mother, you are a hopeless romantic.
07:39I know.
07:43Oops, I'm off to an audition.
07:44And I have a bet to win.
07:49Yes, detective, that's my credit card.
07:51I had dinner with her last night.
07:52She's my best friend.
07:53When I left her there, she was alive.
07:55What time did you leave, Miss Rossi?
07:57Around seven.
07:58Then where did you go?
07:59To drinks with other associates from my firm.
08:01I was at the Gansworth Bar until 11.
08:03Did you make plans to have dinner together,
08:05or did you just show up?
08:06She called me.
08:07She said she wanted to talk.
08:12But I didn't know.
08:15You didn't know what?
08:16I should have said something.
08:18I should have done something, you know?
08:21Why did she call Miss Rossi?
08:22She needed my advice as a lawyer.
08:26Something happened last Friday, something bad.
08:29What?
08:29She wouldn't say.
08:31But I knew it was one of her patients.
08:34She wanted to know how to get a restraining order.
08:37Against who?
08:38Whom?
08:40She wouldn't say.
08:42God.
08:43I should have stayed with her.
08:45I shouldn't have let her off the hook.
08:51Looks like Ashley took her oath seriously.
08:53Her husband had no idea that something bad happened on Friday.
08:56Doctor patient privilege is supposed to protect people,
08:58not get them killed.
09:01Hey, so the Vick's girlfriend, alibi's good.
09:05Co-workers confirmed that she arrived for drinks at 7.15,
09:07left at 11.
09:08The husband's buddy places him at the garden
09:10from 7 till about 10.
09:11Which leaves us with Friday's patients.
09:14I sure would like a peek at Dr. Cosway's notes.
09:16Not without a warrant.
09:17We start by running the names.
09:18If he threatened and then killed her,
09:20he's probably got violent priors.
09:21Once again, Mr. and Mrs. Marks,
09:23I'm very sorry for your loss.
09:36And a dark cloud descends.
09:38Any hot leads?
09:39Matter of fact, yes.
09:41Turns out our victim went for a walk every night.
09:43Guess who hangs in the park
09:45right where our victim was popped?
09:46Recently fired postal workers.
09:48No.
09:49Gang kids.
09:50Very rough guys.
09:52Did they hang out there regularly?
09:54That's right.
09:55Then they didn't do it.
09:56If they're known to hang out there,
09:58then they're going to know they're going to get caught.
09:59If they're going to do something,
10:00they're going to do it somewhere else.
10:02I know what you're doing, Castle.
10:03You're trying to mess with our confidence.
10:04If I was trying to mess with your confidence,
10:05I would tell you that our victim
10:07talked to her lawyer friend on the night she was murdered
10:09about a restraining order.
10:11And do you have a suspect?
10:12We're narrowing it down.
10:13But doesn't that have a lovely ring to it?
10:17Restraining order.
10:20Restraining order.
10:21Restraining order.
10:24Hey.
10:25Hey.
10:27I was just...
10:28There were...
10:30There was two...
10:31Yeah.
10:31Beckett, we got a hit.
10:35Hal Ross?
10:36Multiple assault charges over the last ten years.
10:38He and his wife are Dr. Cosway's two o'clock.
10:40Friday.
10:49What are you doing?
10:50Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
10:52Castle?
10:53Not cool.
10:54Stairs.
10:55Why'd you do that?
10:58Do what?
11:08All right.
11:09I'm just going to say it.
11:11I've got a feeling.
11:12It doesn't happen often,
11:13but I am feeling it.
11:16This is our guy.
11:19Mr. Ross?
11:23What's up?
11:24Garbage on my sidewalk again?
11:27Uh, would you mind putting that down?
11:34Where were you last night between the hours of...
11:37When was that again?
11:39What are you talking about?
11:40Are you familiar with Ashley Cosway?
11:43Well, yeah, sure, the doc.
11:45Well, she was murdered last night.
11:46What?
11:47The doc's dead?
11:48Can you confirm your whereabouts between 7.30 and 9 last night?
11:52Yeah, sure.
11:52I was here.
11:53I'm open till 10 every night.
11:54Can anyone corroborate that?
11:55My employees.
11:57Well, how convenient that your alibis are on your payroll.
12:00What would make you think that I killed the doc?
12:02Mr. Ross, you have a history of violence.
12:05Assault, battery...
12:06Okay, well, why do you think I was in...
12:09Therapy.
12:11Okay, Doc Cosway showed me that I was only hurting myself.
12:15Come on, how?
12:16We know something bad happened last Friday.
12:18Come on.
12:19Something happened, all right.
12:20But it wasn't in my session.
12:21Uh-uh.
12:21You want to talk to somebody?
12:22We tried the appointment before mine.
12:24Why is that?
12:26Judy and I, we are in the little waiting room before our session.
12:28We hear all this yelling.
12:30About what?
12:30I don't know.
12:31But this guy was cursing Doc Cosway out big time.
12:34And it was kind of scary.
12:35I was tempted to go in there, but then we heard the guy leave.
12:38Did you get a good look at his face?
12:39No, no, no.
12:39He went out the hallway door.
12:41Doc got us.
12:42She was rattled.
12:43But she did our session anyway.
12:45I got a feeling this isn't our guy.
12:49Hinkle.
12:50Ivan Hinkle.
12:51He's had the appointment before the Rosses every week for the last two years.
12:55Yeah, the guy's clean.
12:56There's no record of anything.
12:57Two straight years of therapy, maybe he just snapped.
13:00Have uniforms.
13:01Bring him in.
13:03I'm going to go get a coffee.
13:10I suppose he'd have tipped me off to the vet.
13:13Thought I'd toss a little towards ours.
13:16Toss away, my friend, and spread the word around if anyone else wants a taste.
13:23Let's go.
13:23Come on, big fella.
13:24Come on.
13:27Lefty over here.
13:30Take a seat.
13:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
13:35I thought you said you guys were looking for a gang member like a teenager.
13:37You were right.
13:38They alibied out.
13:40So who's in cuffs?
13:41Just a mugger who happened to be working in the same area the same night our Vic was killed.
13:45Oh, yeah.
13:45It was picked up with a .45 on him, which happens to be the same round that was found in
13:48our Vic.
13:49Just waiting on ballistics.
13:50Unless he confesses first.
13:52So where's his lawyer?
13:53Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
13:56Hasn't asked for one.
13:57Well, I know a guy.
13:58Oh, what's the matter?
13:59Castle, are you getting worried?
14:01Worried?
14:02I'll make you cry.
14:03You want to bet?
14:04Or maybe double down?
14:05No, no, no, no, no, no.
14:06Not money.
14:08Humiliation.
14:09Loser wears a dress to the precinct for a week.
14:12Then why stop there?
14:13Loser also shaves his head.
14:15Or are you chicken?
14:22You're wrong, honey milk.
14:26Honey milk.
14:27Damn it.
14:28For the record, Mr. Hanko, you are admitting that you are Dr. Cosby's one o'clock appointment?
14:33I knew this would happen.
14:34I knew it.
14:35First time I met her, I knew she'd leave me.
14:38Why does this always happen?
14:40Why do people keep leaving me?
14:41She didn't leave you, Mr. Hinkle.
14:43She was murdered.
14:44Yeah.
14:45Just like my first wife.
14:47Your first wife was murdered?
14:49That's right.
14:50I smothered her to death.
14:52Yeah.
14:53That's what she told me.
14:55I murdered her with love.
14:57That's why she left.
15:00Just tell us about your last appointment with Dr. Cosby.
15:03We were just starting to make progress.
15:05You know the irony here?
15:07Her death is my moment of greatest crisis, and I don't have her to lean on.
15:13What was all the screaming about at the appointment last Friday?
15:17Scream?
15:17Last Friday?
15:18I did not see her last Friday.
15:20You're in the books.
15:21You're with an apostrophe.
15:24Yeah, well, I canceled an hour before.
15:27You canceled?
15:28Yes.
15:28Yes, I was having chest pains.
15:30I went to the ER at St. Vincent's.
15:32$15,000 later, turns out I was just having a panic attack about mother.
15:37You know?
15:42I think we're done here.
15:45You know, at least Dr. Cosby didn't charge me for her canceling last minute.
15:48Why not?
15:49She said she was going to have lunch with her husband, so it was time well spent.
15:54Thank you, Mr. Hinkle.
15:56Oh, and by the way, it's a common mistake, but it's not ironic that Dr. Cosby is not here
16:00for you to lean on.
16:01It's just simply tragic.
16:02It'd be ironic if her death made you feel better.
16:05Castle?
16:08Just even...
16:12What's with the super cop?
16:13I have no idea what you're talking about.
16:16Okay, thank you.
16:17I appreciate it.
16:18You know that.
16:20Uh-huh.
16:25So what you got?
16:27I just got a ping on Ashley's credit card.
16:30Lunch charge at Petit Bistre right next door to her office.
16:33The hostess confirmed that Ashley and Jason were having lunch there on Friday, and the
16:37only reason she remembers it is because they were making kind of a scene.
16:40He's our screamer.
16:41They were arguing all the way back to the office.
16:44He's the one she was getting the restraining order against.
16:46Jason's alibi that he was at the game with his friend feel a little squishy to you?
16:50Like a wormy apple.
16:53Hey, Karpowski.
16:54Yo.
16:54Why don't we take a better look at Jason Cosway?
16:57Work situation, financials, and hotel bills.
17:00Yeah.
17:00Hey, top of your vet.
17:03Want a coffee?
17:04You give it to him.
17:05No.
17:05Thanks.
17:07Thanks.
17:08Thanks.
17:12Thanks.
17:12Thanks.
17:13Thanks.
17:13Thanks.
17:35Hey, Stegner.
17:38Just admiring the great board work, Beckett.
17:41Care to share any insight?
17:43I really need to go file.
17:47Uh-huh.
17:47I'd be more than happy to take that off your hands.
17:52Son of a...
17:55Nobody move!
17:58What is this?
18:00Girl Scout cookie orders.
18:01Huh?
18:03Girl Scout cookie orders?
18:04Yeah, just helping out the trip.
18:07Funny.
18:07I didn't realize Alexis was a Girl Scout.
18:10Oh, no.
18:11She's got so many activities I can barely keep track.
18:13Freaking great.
18:14What happened?
18:15Ballistics screwed us.
18:17Our mother's gun doesn't match the bullet taken from our vic.
18:22What's going on?
18:23Betting on murder cases, guys?
18:25Really?
18:26Whoa!
18:26No!
18:27What?
18:27No!
18:27I'm telling you, it's Girl Scout orders.
18:29Girl Scout cookies are sold in February.
18:31You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.
18:33Now get back to work.
18:34Okay.
18:38Okay.
18:41Okay.
18:43Okay.
18:43Okay.
18:43Listen.
18:45I'm sorry.
18:46I know it was wrong.
18:48I just thought...
18:48Becca, you are never going to believe this.
18:50Oh, the bar on Unbelievable is pretty high right now.
18:52Vic's husband took out a $3 million life insurance policy on his wife last month.
18:57A hundred on us.
19:02Look, um, the life insurance was Ashley's idea, okay?
19:05Okay, fine, Jason.
19:06It was Ashley's idea.
19:07Can anyone confirm that?
19:09Yes, I'm sure someone can.
19:10Maybe a friend.
19:11Well, her best friend Brandy had no idea about the life insurance, but she did know about
19:15a restraining order that your wife was trying to get against you.
19:17That's insane.
19:19It is absolutely ridiculous.
19:21You want to tell us about last Friday?
19:23What about last Friday?
19:24About the screaming match at lunch that led all the way back to her office.
19:27We have multiple witnesses, Jason.
19:29Okay.
19:30Great.
19:30You have witnesses.
19:31We had a fight.
19:32You want to approve?
19:33We're married.
19:34What did you fight about?
19:35I don't know what the fight was about.
19:36I can't remember.
19:37See, I'm having a hard time believing that.
19:39How's even no one watching?
19:40Ah, no wonder she's going after him so hard.
19:44Was that a basketball game?
19:46Oh, yes.
19:46That's right.
19:47With your frat buddy, Skip.
19:49Yes, juries do love it when friends are hallowed by friends.
19:53Why don't you get the hot dog guy to vouch for me, okay?
19:55If you trust him.
19:57What was your seat number?
19:58What do you, uh, excuse me?
19:59Come on, it was just last night.
20:02Don't tell me you don't remember.
20:04They were, they were Skip's tickets.
20:05Why don't you ask him?
20:06Don't tell me for one second.
20:08You didn't have to get up during that lame halftime show and remember what section to go back to.
20:12The only thing I remember is the fact that we were sitting there right behind the home bench.
20:16Ah, okay.
20:16You ever have seats like that?
20:17Yeah, right.
20:18So divorce isn't an option.
20:20Divorce.
20:22Divorce?
20:22Yeah, you're going to grow me.
20:24I didn't want a divorce, okay, pal?
20:26And I didn't kill my wife!
20:30So, can we charge him?
20:31We still need evidence.
20:33I'm going to get a warrant for his apartment and see what it turns up.
20:38Are they watching TV?
20:40I'm afraid they're thrown in the proverbial town.
20:43Huh.
20:45Hey, guys.
20:47Everything okay?
20:48Yeah, we're just, uh, just enjoying last night's game.
20:51Yeah.
20:51Well, isn't it great when you get it on demand?
20:53Ooh, I love this part.
20:55Check it out.
20:56Everybody's covered up good.
20:57And there yet is another...
20:58Whoa!
20:59This is a third time out.
21:01Yeah.
21:02Already.
21:02We're just barely halfway through the first half.
21:05Yeah, that would be, what, just before 8 o'clock?
21:16That's Jason Cosway.
21:17Mm-hmm.
21:18And I believe that that, my friends, is the definition of an airtight alibi.
21:24Castle, which size dress do you wear?
21:266?
21:268?
21:27Mm-hmm.
21:2816?
21:29Mm-hmm.
21:30Mm-hmm.
21:31Mm-hmm.
21:31Mm-hmm.
21:49Mm-hmm.
21:50Mm-hmm.
21:51Yes?
21:52You okay?
21:55Okay?
21:58Have you ever been really sure about something and then have it all just fall apart?
22:03As a matter of fact, I have.
22:06Owen?
22:07It was a train wreck.
22:11What happened?
22:13Talia.
22:14What's a Talia?
22:15Some perky girl with big teeth.
22:19She came over to our table gushing about how she and Owen with the Camp Kumaj together,
22:22third grade summer, and how she was his first crush.
22:25The whole night was one big walk down memory lane.
22:28I'm sorry, sweetie.
22:32And the weird part was that Owen didn't even remember her.
22:36Not that it stopped him from being totally into it.
22:38I mean, even in the taxi back, he kept saying how amazing it was.
22:41They met after all these years.
22:42It's serendipity.
22:43How so serendipitous.
22:45Serendipitous.
22:49How am I supposed to compete with that?
22:57Sorry.
23:01Where are you now?
23:03Yes, I'm on the elevator right now.
23:05Where have you been?
23:07Apologizing for the male race?
23:09We catch a break?
23:10No, but the boys did.
23:12Another mugger?
23:12I don't know, but they look pretty hot on something.
23:16What?
23:17What do you have?
23:18Let's go ahead and give them a little tase, bro.
23:20Well, turns out a Vic had a rent-controlled apartment.
23:22Stays in the family, it stays rent-controlled.
23:26$562 a month.
23:27Three bedrooms.
23:28I'd kill for that.
23:29According to a neighbor, Vic's son-in-law borrowed money from the old man a bunch of times over the
23:33years,
23:33but recently he cut him off.
23:35Son-in-law.
23:37Ryan.
23:40Really?
23:40Yeah, we're on it.
23:42Come on.
23:42Something good?
23:43Let's go.
23:43What is it?
23:44Wouldn't you like to know?
23:45Hey, come on!
23:47Come on!
23:48Come on!
23:50I've got a bad feeling about this.
23:52Are we really rooting against solving a murder?
23:54Well, I don't want to shave my head, do you?
23:56Why would I shave my head?
23:57You're in on the bed, aren't you?
23:59Yeah, but I didn't realize...
24:02Beckett?
24:06Okay, we'll be right there.
24:08Laney just found something in the forensic report.
24:11Well, it's better than their son-in-law.
24:15And you're sure it was them?
24:18Okay, thanks.
24:20I don't even want to know.
24:22Two bartenders and the manager put Frank's son-in-law, Eric, and daughter Christina,
24:26uptown at the friend Eddie's birthday party at Dublin House from 9.15 till after midnight.
24:30Dude, if I have to shave my head, it's going on you.
24:32What are you doing here?
24:33What are you doing here?
24:34Laney called us.
24:35No, she called us.
24:37Yeah.
24:37Actually, I called both of you.
24:40I think your cases might be connected.
24:48Perlmutter was giving me the rundown on Ryan and Esposito's mugging case when a certain
24:52forensic detail popped out at me.
24:55Orthosolicic acid.
24:56Ortho what now?
24:57It's the fancy term for saltwater compound.
25:00That's not very specific.
25:02True, but we identified the diatoms in the sample as well, which makes it extremely specific.
25:06It narrows it down to a single body of water.
25:09Oh, so I got took a swim?
25:10Not quite.
25:11It was only trace amounts, but we found orthosolicic acid with the exact same diatoms on Ashley
25:17Causeway as well.
25:18Both victims had contact with the same body of water?
25:20Direct contact.
25:21What are the odds?
25:22It'd be like finding the same fingerprint on both bodies.
25:24Do we know what body of water?
25:26No, I would need a sample to test it against.
25:31Castle?
25:31Could it be a small body of water?
25:33Sure, as long as it's saltwater.
25:37Dr. Cosway's fish tank.
25:38Check out Nemo.
25:39Clownfish needs saltwater to live.
25:42Okay, but how did this get on both of our Vicks?
25:44Wouldn't they have had to stick their hands in there or something?
25:47You see that salt encrustation along the top?
25:50Yeah.
25:51The pump just kicks it into the air.
25:53Anyone who spent time in that office would have trace amounts of that tank-specific saltwater
25:57compound on them.
25:58So then Frank had to have been in Ashley's office sometime before he was murdered?
26:01That's possible, but remember, Ashley was murdered first.
26:04Then our perp was in there.
26:06That's where he got the compound on him.
26:08Then he transferred it to Frank when he took his watch and wallet.
26:10Which means both of our Vicks were killed by the same person.
26:15I thought Dad was mugged.
26:17Yeah, like, randomly.
26:18We don't believe it was random anymore.
26:21Mr. Cosway's wife, Ashley, was killed earlier that night.
26:23We think the same person killed your father and then tried to stage it as if there were
26:27two isolated incidents.
26:28We're trying to find a connection between them.
26:31This is Mrs. Cosway.
26:34And this is Mr. Anderson.
26:37Do either of them look familiar?
26:39No.
26:41Not at all.
26:41I'm sorry.
26:42Mrs. Cosway was a therapist.
26:45Did your father ever go to therapy?
26:46Dad?
26:48No.
26:49No disrespect to your wife, but he didn't really go for that kind of stuff.
26:53Well, this is a list of Mrs. Cosway's patients.
26:55Would you mind taking a look at the names, see if you recognize any of them?
27:01I don't think so.
27:04No.
27:04Take your time.
27:06And do you really think there's a connection here?
27:07I mean, we live in different parts of the city.
27:10You know, we work at different places.
27:12We're...
27:13Good, you can say it.
27:14We're black and you're white.
27:15No, no, I'm just saying we're different.
27:18That's all I was saying.
27:19They may have inadvertently witnessed something or been privy to some information that someone
27:24very powerful wanted to keep under wraps.
27:27There are any number of possibilities.
27:29We just want...
27:29Grosvenor.
27:31What was that?
27:32This name, Grosvenor, it kind of rings a bell.
27:36Do you remember about five years back?
27:38Some kid's dad shoved him for some reason.
27:41Yeah, school security got involved.
27:43I think his name was Grosvenor.
27:45We'll get a warrant for his patient file.
27:47If there's a connection, we'll find it.
27:56So.
27:57The principal at IS-161 said that Grosvenor assaulted your Vic after Mr. Anderson reported
28:02him on suspicion of child abuse.
28:04Which is why Grosvenor and his wife were the couple's counseling.
28:06Apparently, it didn't go too well, though, because they ended up filing for divorce.
28:09And, get this, Mrs. Cosway testified against Grosvenor in court.
28:13So Grosvenor had reason to go after both our victims.
28:15Yeah, went away for five years for domestic abuse.
28:17Says right here it was released last month.
28:19What are the odds, huh?
28:20Two people from my opposite lives being connected by one jackhole.
28:23Just demonstrates that any two people can be connected.
28:26Yeah, like the movie Crash.
28:27Dude, Crash is overrated.
28:57Actually, it's more like six degrees of Kevin Bacon.
28:59Oh, come on, Debbie Downer.
29:01There are no such things as coincidences in murder cases.
29:04How many times do I have to tell you?
29:05I mean, it's the basic foundation of every crime book I've ever written.
29:10No coincidences.
29:20Put your hands up!
29:21Let's see him, buddy!
29:22Keep him up!
29:23Keep him up!
29:23Keep him up!
29:25Wesley Grosvenor, I'm Detective Kate Beckett.
29:27What, I missed another parole meeting?
29:30He's clean, so to speak.
29:33Where were you last Tuesday night?
29:37Am I being punked?
29:38If I'm punked, you mean arrested for murder, yeah.
29:41You think I went somewhere Tuesday night and killed somebody?
29:43Actually, two somebodies.
29:47Hey, I'm Houdini!
29:50Nice bling, huh?
29:54Oops.
29:56Check this out.
30:00This stoop is the edge of my earth since I busted parole a week ago.
30:04Whatever you think I did, I ain't your guy.
30:11That's quite the coincidence.
30:19How dare you!
30:20How dare you take my dress!
30:22You're as thoughtless as your father!
30:24I'm sorry!
30:24I didn't stop!
30:27I didn't think this was a deal!
30:29I'm about to break your little wrist!
30:31Mother, have you finally...
30:34Have I finally what, dear?
30:36Hey, Dad.
30:39You're rehearsing.
30:39Yes, I have a call back.
30:41Oh, and you believed us!
30:43Oh, my God!
30:44That's marvelous!
30:45No, I am a better actress than I think I am.
30:50You okay, Dad?
30:52You look upset.
30:53Turns out something I was so sure of was just a coincidence.
30:56Oh, is this about the murder?
30:58Exactly.
30:59It so happens that our two victims were connected.
31:02It just had nothing to do with their deaths.
31:04You know, I bet if you looked hard enough, you'd find a connection between everybody in
31:08this city.
31:09I mean, that's the great thing about New York.
31:11Yeah, and if there wasn't a connection, you could always pretend there's one.
31:15Besides the rehearsal, we have another drama going on here this evening.
31:19Oh, Owen?
31:20You know how Talia said she had a crush on Owen at Camp Kumash?
31:23Serendipity at Serendipity, yeah?
31:25No.
31:26More like subterfuge at Serendipity.
31:28She never even went to Camp Kumash, but her friend did, and Talia wanted to meet Owen,
31:32so she staged the whole thing.
31:33Oh, that is so budding sociopath.
31:36I knew it couldn't be a coincidence.
31:38I mean, really?
31:39What are the odds?
31:45Yeah.
31:45What are the odds?
32:07Hey, Castle.
32:08How are you doing?
32:09Well, for a second last night, I thought my mother was beating Alexis, so...
32:13Yeah, well, Grosvenor was a head turner for all of us.
32:18His GPS checked out, by the way.
32:22Well, crash was on this morning, followed by Footloose, so...
32:24I guess anything can happen.
32:29Are you okay?
32:30Yeah.
32:35It's just this one reminds me of my mom's case.
32:40What Frank Anderson's family must be going through, especially Christina, mourning her dad's death,
32:46thinking that it was random, and then finding out that it wasn't.
32:51I guess you could say, what does it matter?
32:52The person that you love is dead, but knowing why matters.
33:01Yo.
33:02Fish tank's a bust.
33:04What?
33:05Laney called.
33:06Water sample is not a match.
33:08You believe that?
33:09We're nowhere.
33:10What is it with these two cases?
33:12Yeah, Grosvenor was almost too good to be true.
33:13Not almost.
33:14Yeah, and you guys and the husband.
33:15I was sure it was him and your son-in-law.
33:17I know, same deal.
33:18Felt it.
33:21Okay, it's not the fish tank, but they are connected.
33:24We just have to figure out how.
33:26It's just we've been over these cases so many times it's hard to see straight anymore.
33:31All right.
33:32We'll start over.
33:33Fresh eyes.
33:34You take our murder, we'll take yours.
33:36All right.
33:37Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
33:39Say that again.
33:42You take our murder, we'll take yours.
33:47Could it be that easy?
33:49You take mine, I'll take yours.
33:52What do you get in that castle?
33:54Strangers on a Train.
33:55The Hitchcock movie.
33:56I'm partial to the novel by Patricia Highsmith, but yes, we have two strong suspects, but with
34:02airtight alibis, right?
34:03Right.
34:04We know they're connected.
34:06What if the connection is the killer's?
34:08Jason and Eric committed each other's murders.
34:11And made sure they had an airtight alibi for the murder they knew they'd be suspected of.
34:15It's not our victims who are connected.
34:18It's our murderers.
34:20Crisscross.
34:22Okay, so we know Jason was at the garden watching the game until it finished at 10.
34:26And then he made a call from Ashley's office at 11.47.
34:29The garden is on 32nd.
34:31Her office is on 18th.
34:32Would have taken a max of 20 minutes.
34:34So why did it take him two hours?
34:35Because Esposito jumped in a cab, went uptown, killed Frank.
34:39Which happened at 11.
34:40He easily makes it back to his wife's office in time to find her body at 11.47.
34:45And we know that Eric clocked out of work at 6.03.
34:47And Ashley's killed at 8.
34:48He shows up for the party at the bar at 9.15.
34:52Something tells me their alibis are not going to be so airtight for the other murders.
34:59Mr. Causeway, we were just coming to see you.
35:02Oh, hey.
35:03You guys have news?
35:04I mean, is it the old patient of Ashley?
35:06Has that turned out to be anything?
35:06No, but we are making progress.
35:09Okay.
35:09What can I do for you?
35:11I'd just like to ask you a few questions about the night of the murder.
35:14Do you guys have any suspects at all yet?
35:15We're looking at someone right now.
35:17Okay, well, actually, I have to meet the movers at Ashley's office, so...
35:19But if you don't mind walking with me...
35:21Not at all.
35:22Could you tell us what you did right after the basketball game?
35:26After?
35:27Well, why do you ask?
35:27We're just trying to get our timeline straight.
35:30You're not accusing me of killing my wife again, are you?
35:32I can assure you that we are 100% certain you did not kill Ashley.
35:35It's just the night of the murder.
35:37You said that you were on your way to pick her up right after the game.
35:40Yeah, so?
35:41Well, then why did it take you two hours to get from the garden to 18th Street?
35:46Look, I knew Ashley wanted to work late, right?
35:48I didn't want to bother her, so I just killed some time.
35:50Well, sorry.
35:52Go ahead.
35:55And then I stopped at a newsstand.
35:57Where?
35:58Somewhere on 7th.
35:59Maybe it was 26th.
36:00I don't know.
36:01Anyway, I bought myself a slice of pizza.
36:03At Ray's.
36:04Original famous or famous original?
36:07There's one on 28th, and there's one on 23rd.
36:09I can't remember which.
36:11I'm a little, uh, confused here.
36:13You know, there is somebody out there that killed my wife.
36:14Mr. Cosway, we were just trying to figure this out.
36:18Um, I, uh, after that, I went home.
36:21Is there anyone that can vouch for that?
36:23Yeah, I'm sure somebody in my building.
36:25Thank you so much for your time.
36:27Of course.
36:28Okay.
36:46Looks like we found our body of water.
36:49Strangers on a boat?
36:57So what's the verdict?
36:59Eric Marks takes the same water taxi to work, too.
37:01Damn, said the lady.
37:02There's our connection.
37:03Oh, no, it gets better.
37:04Laney ran the substance on her Vicks against the Hudson River water.
37:07It's a match.
37:08Marks is on the boat uptown.
37:09Cosway joins him at Chelsea Piers, and they ride to Pier 11 together.
37:13So one day, maybe they start talking.
37:15Maybe about the Yankee bullpen.
37:16Maybe about the attractive secretary leaning up against the railing.
37:20Oh, and Jason starts grumbling about his wife.
37:23Eric maybe mentions how he covets Frank's apartment.
37:25Yeah, well, there's an open up her deck.
37:27I figured that's what they were doing.
37:28They're plotting.
37:29And how the water from the Hudson got on both of them.
37:31It gets transferred from Eric Marks' jacket and gloves to Ashley Cosway when they struggle.
37:35Then to Frank Anderson when Jason Cosway swipes his watch and wallet.
37:38Done deal.
37:39Except it's all circumstantial.
37:40The DA will never buy it without hard evidence or a confession.
37:44Oh, we're going to get a confession.
37:49Not if we get one first.
37:52So, bet's back on.
37:54You bet your britches the bet is back on.
38:09What are the odds?
38:14You guys really think a jury is going to believe in such a crazy story like this, huh?
38:18Juries are smart.
38:20Yeah, yeah, they are.
38:22But you see, they're going to have to do two separate trials here.
38:25And the prosecutor is going to have to convince them that I killed someone who I have no connection to.
38:30And no motive whatsoever to want dead.
38:33And to me, that's ridiculous.
38:34Sounds like you've given this some serious thought, Mr. Cosway.
38:39Cute.
38:40But wrong.
38:41You made a pact with Eric Marks on the deck of that boat.
38:44Don't crack.
38:46No one will ever be able to prove what you did.
38:48I told you guys everybody only met him the other day.
38:50You rode the same water taxi to work every day.
38:53And so does a hundred other people.
38:55Every day.
38:56It was your idea, wasn't it?
38:57Really?
38:58Yeah.
38:59There's always one alpha in every conspiracy, and that was you.
39:04Eric was malleable, wasn't he?
39:05And that suited you just fine.
39:09But Ashley wasn't, was she?
39:12She was a strong, professional woman.
39:14A psychologist, no less.
39:16You couldn't just push her around.
39:19I wanted to marry her.
39:22That's the question you ask yourself every day, isn't it?
39:25Because you realized you didn't want a wife.
39:29You wanted a puppy.
39:32Are you going to judge with political aspirations, bro?
39:34Yeah, we're talking death penalty.
39:36New York's still a lethal injection state.
39:38Now, you confess, cop a plea, that's a different story.
39:41You're going to save the state all sorts of money.
39:43Yeah, practical guarantee to get off with his life.
39:45Yeah, and then the judge can get his political bones on someone else, like your boy Jason.
39:49I know my rights.
39:50All right, so you can stop with this old good cop back.
39:52It's good you know your rights, Eric, because your buddy Jason just rolled on you.
39:56Man, come on.
39:56Oh, yeah.
39:57Yeah, Cosway just signed his confession.
39:59Copped a nice little plea at your expense.
40:01Sorry, dude.
40:01Told you we'd get our guy first.
40:03No, no, wait.
40:04Wait, wait, wait.
40:11It was his idea, not mine.
40:15He planned the whole thing.
40:32Ryan, you were on fire in there.
40:34New nickname, Ice Pazito.
40:36Excellent work, detective.
40:38Yeah, well, once we realized that Jason was the alpha and wouldn't break, it was obvious that Eric was a
40:43weak link.
40:44Nice.
40:44When you guys came in the room and we knew you were playing, everything just kind of...
40:48Yeah, that's right.
40:49Of course, we were right with you guys.
40:50Oh, please.
40:51That was the whole point, was that you weren't in on it.
40:53That's how we sold it.
40:54Well, that's neither here nor there because we won the bet.
40:57How's that?
40:58Our guy broke.
40:59Yeah, because we broke him.
41:01Uh, so what?
41:02It's like soccer.
41:03You score on our goal, it's still our point.
41:06Soccer?
41:06Really?
41:07You're going with that one?
41:08It works for me.
41:09Well, then how about baseball?
41:10Because this team just knocked it out of the park.
41:16Yeah, but our team was supposed to be at the back.
41:18Again with that one?
41:20Your team never made it to the field because they were too scared to get off the bus.
41:22Uh, Castle, our team drove the bus.
41:24Yeah.
41:25Well, then how about NASCAR?
41:26As our car flew to the checkered line, you guys crashed and burned.
41:30Under a few.
