00:25You are not going to believe this.
00:28You are so not going to believe this.
00:30What are you doing here?
00:31I can't even believe it.
00:32Believe what?
00:33I can't tell you.
00:34I'm still asleep, aren't I?
00:35I'm dreaming.
00:36I'm having a dream where my book agent has shown up at my house at 7am to not tell me
00:41something.
00:42Okay.
00:43It's not official yet, but you, my dear, are at the top of their list.
00:50And I can't give you any more details than that.
00:52You want some coffee?
00:53I'd love to sit down and not discuss this further.
00:55I will tell you this.
00:56It's a major relaunch of a major franchise, a three-book deal, and they want you.
01:03Heatwave comes out in less than a week.
01:05The book party, which you arranged, is Monday night.
01:07I'm trying to launch my own character.
01:09Why would I want to get involved with somebody else's?
01:10What if I told you the character in question is a certain British secret agent?
01:17You mean it's going to be...
01:18Shh.
01:19Don't say it.
01:20You'll jinx it.
01:20He's the reason I became a writer.
01:22I know.
01:23I mean, he's the coolest spy ever.
01:24Right?
01:25He's got gadgets.
01:26He's got babes.
01:26He's...
01:27And a payday that is unbelievable.
01:29And they want me for three new books.
01:30Yes.
01:31Now, you're going to get that because an unanswered phone gives me agita.
01:35It's Beckett.
01:36That body must have dropped.
01:41I'll call her back.
01:42What other details can't you tell me?
01:47Morning, gentlemen.
01:49So what do you got for us?
01:50Caucasian female, early thirties.
01:52No purser ID found on the body.
01:54Where is she?
01:56City workers found her when they opened the mantle to check the line.
02:07Something tells me she didn't trip.
02:11Cause of death appears to be blunt force trauma.
02:13She took a nasty blow to the back of the head.
02:16We found traces of blood spatter over there on the sidewalk.
02:19Well, then it couldn't have been a robbery.
02:21A mugger wouldn't bother dragging her body that far just to hide it.
02:23Given the amount of decomposition, I'd say she was killed about two days ago.
02:28Any chance you can narrow that down for us?
02:30Any chance I can get her to the lab first?
02:33I should be able to get you a tighter window, maybe down to six or seven hours.
02:37Alright, thank you.
02:39Ah, good morning.
02:41Look who decided that Grace is with his presence.
02:43Did you have something more important to do, Castle?
02:45I got held up at home.
02:47Was that the body?
02:47Yeah, it's on its way to the morgue.
02:49Huh.
02:50What, you wanted us to wait?
02:51Yeah, it's too bad too.
02:53It's your kind of case, bro.
02:54Yeah?
02:55Yeah, the body was found down that manhole over there.
02:58Half eaten.
02:59Eaten?
03:00Yeah, it was covered in some kind of green slime.
03:02Whoa.
03:03Yeah, it was creepy.
03:04It's as if someone or something is down there.
03:07Ah, that's okay.
03:09Very funny.
03:10That's great.
03:10Was there a body down the manhole?
03:12Yeah.
03:13Okay, thank you.
03:13An adult.
03:14Yeah, you should have seen what else was down there.
03:16Two metal canisters with biohazard stickers and yellow powder inside of it.
03:20You opened the...
03:22All right, will someone please tell me what's really going on here?
03:25We're gonna check nearby trash cans for the murder weapon.
03:27Uh, what was the murder weapon, by the way?
03:29Some kind of death ray?
03:30Turns your insides out.
03:34Her fingerprints came back negative.
03:37Missing persons didn't have anyone matching her description.
03:42You boys didn't happen to find her purse by any chance.
03:45No.
03:45No purse, no murder weapon.
03:47And we have ourselves a Jane Doe.
03:49Two days and no one steps forward to say she's missing.
03:52Which means she probably lived alone and she didn't have a job where she needed to be.
03:56I can tell you this much, she's an immigrant.
03:58Probably from Eastern Europe.
04:00Her dental work?
04:01She's got a couple of stainless steel crowns.
04:03We don't use them anymore in the States, but they're still common in the former Soviet bloc.
04:07Uh, we found this scrunched in the bottom of her pants pocket.
04:11Candy wrapper.
04:12It's got some kind of writing on it.
04:14The lettering has diacritical marks on it.
04:17They're accent marks used to represent sounds that are alien to Latin.
04:20I'm gonna go with Slavic Cyrillic?
04:22No.
04:23Check.
04:23And you know the sound.
04:25I almost ordered a Russian bride once.
04:27You know, a checkmate.
04:30I'm gonna run this down.
04:31There can't be too many shops in the area that sell this stuff.
04:36Hey Perlmutter, I'm having a book launch party Monday night.
04:39You wanna come?
04:39Please.
04:40I'll put you down as a maybe.
04:45This is gonna weird you out a little bit, but check this out.
04:47I mean, it just seems like, it seems to bend the space time continuum.
04:51Look, just when you think there can't be another one.
04:53What is he doing?
04:53We hit about a dozen little shops trying to find that candy wrapper, and he insisted on
04:58buying something in every shop.
05:01In every shop?
05:03No wrapper though.
05:04Something tells me if he decides to put the great candy wrapper hunt in his next book,
05:07he'll give it a happier ending.
05:08Wait, sir?
05:09Sir, uh, next book?
05:13Is he writing another Nicky Heat novel?
05:14The deal was for one book.
05:16I assumed that-
05:16You were off the hook?
05:18You know how the mayor feels about Castle.
05:19If the man is gonna write another book about you-
05:21I am not Nicky Heat, sir.
05:25Yeah, well, uh, his honor expects your cooperation out of the way.
05:31Yo, found your candy.
05:33You found it?
05:34Get out of town.
05:35A little grocery on 47th and 9th.
05:37Yep.
05:38I told you we should've checked the West End.
05:40Owner recognized our Vicks picture.
05:42Said she'd come by every couple of weeks to stock up on stuff from back home.
05:46Mmm.
05:47Can't taste like soap.
05:48I like it.
05:50Did he give you her name?
05:51No, but he did point us to where he thought she might live.
05:53Apparently there's an SRO not far from where he found the body,
05:56caters to check illegals.
05:58Well, then let's pay her to visit.
06:01Yeah, I know her.
06:02The lady in 5C, Eliska Sokol.
06:05She was a nice person.
06:06She kept to herself, but nice.
06:09Yeah, why anybody would want to kill her.
06:11How long did she live in the building?
06:13About six months.
06:14Never gave you any trouble?
06:16No, I wish all my tenants were like her.
06:18She paid her rent on time every week in cash.
06:21You said 5C?
06:22Yeah.
06:22You want to see it?
06:23Yeah, please.
06:24Once you guys start knocking on doors, we'll see if any of the other tenants can shed some light.
06:27Alright.
06:32Here it is.
06:33Let me know when you're done.
06:35Thanks.
06:38From what I'm seeing, it's a pretty good bet she lived alone.
06:41There's not even a telephone.
06:47Something tells me she didn't have many visitors.
06:50Hey.
06:52Work calendar maybe? Keeping track of shifts?
06:55There's nothing past last Wednesday.
06:59Postcards from home.
07:08Hmm.
07:18If a picture's worth a thousand words, this one says, not a fan.
07:23Scratches go through the paper.
07:25Whoever she is, looks like our Vic hated her.
07:28Could be the feeling was mutual.
07:39Hey.
07:40Hey.
07:40Want a lollipop?
07:41Oh, yes.
07:42Tastes like so?
07:44I'll pass.
07:45Sit yourself.
07:46Oh, Dad.
07:47Taylor asked if she could come to your book launch party with me.
07:49Would that be okay?
07:50Sure.
07:52Oh, so.
07:54Taylor likes my stuff, huh?
07:55Not that I know of.
07:58Then...
07:58Oh, you are so dense.
08:00She wants to get dressed up, go to a party, meet boys.
08:04She doesn't care about your little book.
08:06Thanks, Dad.
08:08You really are sucky, you know?
08:10You always think everything's about you.
08:12Here.
08:13What are these?
08:14Oh, them flyers for my play.
08:15I thought you could hand them out when you're signing books at the party tomorrow.
08:18Uh, gee.
08:19I was thinking, actually, that I might keep the evening about me.
08:23See if I plug your book when I'm doing PR.
08:26Will my career survive?
08:29Oh, you know, ever since that little visit from your Agent Paula, you have been insufferably
08:33cocky.
08:34And frankly, I never understood the appeal of...
08:36I'm not...
08:37Don't say it!
08:37You'll jinx it.
08:39Certain British spy.
08:40And I have loved him since I was a kid.
08:42I know.
08:43I know.
08:44It's a big deal.
08:45Hmm.
08:46Congratulations.
08:47Well, I haven't got the official offer yet.
08:49And it would mean not doing another Nicky Heat book.
08:53Well, I know somebody that you would make very happy.
08:56Beckett.
08:57Oh, please.
08:58She'll be thrilled not to have you following her around.
09:01I'm sure the poor girl is counting down the days.
09:03Actually, I'd like to think I've been fairly useful to her, solving cases-wise.
09:07Oh, please.
09:08I'm sure she got along fine before you arrived.
09:16K-O-L.
09:17Sokol.
09:18No, she doesn't have a social security number.
09:20She's illegal.
09:22All right.
09:22Notify all precincts, including the boroughs.
09:28So I did a records check on Eliska Sokol.
09:31She didn't have any run-ins with law enforcement, so I asked Central to put her name out on the
09:35blotter.
09:35You never know.
09:36It might turn something up.
09:37You know, I was thinking about how to track down this mystery woman.
09:41I bet you Parks and Recreation will be able to tell us in which playground this photo was taken.
09:45You see how there's sand at the bottom?
09:46A lot of playgrounds have wood chips or this green, spongy stuff used to freak Alexis out.
09:51There's also a climbing wall feature in the back here that's not a 75th and Lexington.
09:58Hmm.
10:00Great minds think alike, I guess.
10:02The best thing you're going to do is tell me that I should go down there with the photograph.
10:05Wouldn't be a horrible idea.
10:08Oh, look.
10:09Esposito's calling.
10:10I wonder what he and Ryan have been doing all morning.
10:15Hello?
10:17No, it's just Cass.
10:19A nanny on the playground said she recognized the kid in the photo.
10:21She said she was pretty sure that the family lived in this building.
10:27Can I help you?
10:28I'm Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD.
10:30We were wondering if you recognized anyone in this photograph.
10:34That's Zane Talbot and his mother.
10:37Were there tenants here?
10:39Can I ask what this is about?
10:41We're conducting an investigation into the murder of a woman named Aliska Sokol.
10:45Aliska?
10:47She's dead?
10:48You know her?
10:49She worked here until just a few days ago.
10:52In what capacity?
10:53She started off in the laundry room a few weeks ago.
10:57We promoted her to client services.
10:59This is a concierge building.
11:00We have a staff of over 75 providing our tenants with round-the-clock attention.
11:04Living in a fancy hotel.
11:06Do you have any idea why Aliska left her job?
11:09She didn't.
11:11She was let go.
11:13There was an incident with one of the tenants.
11:16Mrs. Talbot, actually.
11:20Poor woman.
11:21Do you have any idea who killed her?
11:22We're working on it.
11:24The manager said that there's some sort of an incident.
11:27I suppose you could call it that.
11:29Really, I think the whole thing's gotten blown way out of proportion.
11:32Could you tell us what happened?
11:34It was last Wednesday, I think, and I was with Zane in his room.
11:38She came in to change the towels in his bathroom.
11:41I got up to go answer the phone.
11:43When I came back, the door was closed.
11:45I go in and she's sitting on the floor playing, I suppose, but I couldn't really tell because all I
11:52could think was, he's got a lollipop in his mouth.
11:56She'd given him a lollipop.
11:58You just don't do that.
11:59You don't give someone else's child candy without permission.
12:03They could be allergic or diabetic.
12:06Maybe she was just trying to be nice.
12:07You have to understand, we hardly knew this woman.
12:09It wasn't like she was our housekeeper that we saw every day.
12:12I didn't say anything, but I think she sensed that I was unhappy because she got very flustered and couldn't
12:18get out of there fast enough.
12:19Zane seemed to be fine, so I decided to let it go, but then the more that I thought about
12:24it, the more I realized that that was not the first time that she had seemed overly familiar with him.
12:33Overly familiar.
12:36Giving him more attention than seemed appropriate.
12:38Did you ever think it might have been cultural that that might be the way that people are with children
12:44in her country?
12:44Of course. All I did was mention to the manager that maybe somebody would want to talk to her, you
12:50know, about what's appropriate.
12:52I didn't even know that she had been fired until you told us, and now she's...
12:57I mean, I feel horrible. I really do.
13:00I'm sorry. I'm on call.
13:03Unless there's something else?
13:04No. No. I think we have everything we need.
13:08Um, you don't suppose that her being let go has anything to do with what happened to her?
13:14Do you?
13:15We can't rule anything out. It's possible that she was hard pressed for money and she got into something that
13:21she shouldn't have.
13:22Then it's my fault.
13:23No, Mrs. Talbot, it's the fault of the person who killed her.
13:28Thank you for your time.
13:30That's pretty nice of you, letting her off the hook like that.
13:32It's pretty obvious that Lyska blames her for losing her job.
13:35Maybe so, and maybe being let go somehow led to her being killed, but making that woman feel any worse
13:40won't get us closer to solving the crime.
13:41Hey, got anything?
13:43Just that our Vic used to be married.
13:44Housekeeper I was talking to said that Lyska mentioned it to her once.
13:47Ryan's running it.
13:48His name is Theodore Hayek.
13:51Records check came up with a domestic disturbance call from two years ago.
13:54Abusive ex-husband.
13:55Maybe he came back for an on-court performance.
14:00NYPD, we're looking for Theodore Hayek.
14:10Theodore Hayek?
14:12Yes?
14:13Step around, please. We'd like to ask you a few questions.
14:27Ryan, cut him off!
14:31Ryan, cut him off!
14:42Stop! Stop!
14:44Come here!
14:48Are you stuck?
14:49Stay down, buddy!
14:49Let's go! Whoa!
14:51Theodore Hayek, you're under arrest.
14:57Mr. Hayek, you've been advised of your rights?
15:01Yes.
15:02And you declined an attorney?
15:04For what?
15:05You're going to deport me either way, yes?
15:07Mr. Hayek, we're not from immigration.
15:11Is that why you ran?
15:12My visa is expired many years before.
15:15Well, we're not interested in your immigration status.
15:17I'm a homicide detective.
15:19Homicide.
15:20We'd like to ask you a few questions about your ex-wife.
15:22Yes?
15:24What happened?
15:25Tell me.
15:26She was killed three nights ago.
15:38Where were you on Thursday between 5 and 9 PM?
15:42I was home asleep.
15:44I wore double shift and was tired.
15:48Can anyone verify that?
15:50Maybe neighbors, so I don't know.
15:53We have a domestic disturbance complaint from two years ago involving you and your wife.
15:57Would you mind telling us about that?
15:58We were arguing.
16:00Neighbors call police.
16:03What did you argue about?
16:04She wanted to leave me.
16:06I didn't want her to go.
16:08Why did she want to leave?
16:10She said to be with me.
16:13Hurt her.
16:16Because too much I remind her of Martin.
16:20Our son.
16:23God took him from us three years ago.
16:27I'm very sorry to hear that.
16:29It tore her heart away.
16:31He was everything to her.
16:33He was so perfect when he was born.
16:36But the sickness was in him even then.
16:39There was nothing we could do.
16:43Except, uh...
16:46Watch him...
16:49Waste away and...
16:52Away.
17:04This was my family.
17:07We were happy once.
17:11Now they're gone for me.
17:13Both of them.
17:17Gone.
17:26Kinda puts a whole new perspective on the Talbot incident.
17:31Well, he probably reminded Aliska of her own little boy.
17:34She was trying to be nice to him.
17:35And next thing you know, she's out of a job.
17:38Yo.
17:40Ex-husband's alibi checks out.
17:41Neighbor remembers seeing him come home around five.
17:43No surprises there.
17:45He was never our guy.
17:45Okay, guys.
17:46Let's put ourselves in Aliska's shoes.
17:48She's suddenly unemployed.
17:49She's worried about making rent.
17:51What kind of trouble can she get herself into?
17:52The usual suspects are kinda hard to see with her.
17:55Drugs.
17:56Prostitution.
17:57Okay, well there's gotta be something else then.
17:59You know what?
18:00Let's go back to the building.
18:01See if there's anyone we missed on the first canvas.
18:03Someone must have seen or heard something.
18:07Thank you so much for your time.
18:09If you can think of anything else, please don't hesitate to call.
18:13Well, that's everybody on our list.
18:15That's all.
18:15Brian and this bazito are having better luck upstairs.
18:17Can I ask you a question, Castle?
18:19I already know what you're going to ask.
18:20The dress code for the party is Evening Cocktail.
18:22If you're stumped, just ask yourself,
18:23what would Nikki Heat wear?
18:25When were you gonna tell me about the other book?
18:27You heard about that?
18:28So it's true?
18:30Well, it's not a done deal yet.
18:32Well, did it ever occur to you to talk to me first?
18:36Well, frankly, I thought you'd be relieved.
18:38Oh, don't flatter yourself.
18:39Well, I mean, I'm flattered to even be considered
18:40writing a certain British secret agent
18:42would be a very vague opportunity for me.
18:44I was talking about Nikki Heat.
18:46Oh.
18:47Wait a minute.
18:47A certain British secret agent?
18:49Are you...
18:49If they actually offer it to me.
18:51They may not.
18:52Yeah, but if they do?
18:54Well, I would certainly consider it.
18:56Like I said, I thought you'd be relieved.
18:59I am.
19:00I mean, I would be, if they offered it to you.
19:03You sure we talked to 4E last time?
19:05What, the robe lady?
19:07She didn't know our Vic wanted us to help with the ghosts in our apartment.
19:10Oh, yeah.
19:10You guys a bust too?
19:11Yeah, we talked to everybody who wasn't home last time.
19:14Nothing.
19:14Well, that's it then.
19:15We hid everybody in the building.
19:16Yep.
19:19Sorry.
19:19Pardon us.
19:20Sorry.
19:24Did you?
19:25Did you?
19:26It was...
19:27Miss!
19:27Yes!
19:28She was out of town for our first canvas, but the night of the Vicks murder, she remembers
19:32seeing her arguing with the man in the hallway.
19:34Well dressed?
19:35Mid forties?
19:36Didn't exactly narrow things down.
19:37No, but the page on his belt does.
19:41Rebecca.
19:44What do you think, Castle?
19:45Look like someone we know?
19:48Paging Dr. Talbot.
19:52I admit there's a similarity, but it wasn't me.
19:57Do you really want us to pull you out of here and put you in a lineup because that's
20:00exactly where this is headed?
20:01Okay.
20:02This is insane.
20:03I hardly knew the woman.
20:04We did some checking, Dr. Talbot.
20:06Before she worked in your apartment, she also worked at Bryan General.
20:08That's where you see your patients, isn't it?
20:10What exactly was the nature of your relationship with this woman?
20:12There was no relationship.
20:14Alright.
20:14We're out of here.
20:15You're coming with us to the precinct.
20:17You meet a nice class of people in our lineup.
20:19You'll be surprised.
20:19Okay, wait.
20:22There was a relationship.
20:26Aliska and I, we were having an affair.
20:34We met when she was working at the hospital.
20:36I was there late one night and we got to talking.
20:40Anyway, we crossed paths a couple of times after that and one thing led to another.
20:48God, this is humiliating.
20:50What happened when she found out you were married?
20:52Well, she was upset.
20:56But I convinced her that I just needed some time to figure out how to end things with Melissa.
21:02Which you never intended to do.
21:03And it was good for a while, but she was losing patience.
21:07And then she even started paying special attention to Zane as if she was almost getting ready to become part
21:14of his life.
21:14And it was just impossible.
21:16Well, then why did you just break up with her?
21:18I tried.
21:19She just wouldn't let go.
21:21And then that day with my wife and the candy, that was the last straw.
21:28Truth is, it was a relief when she got fired.
21:31And so I did.
21:32I went to see her the next day to give her money and then she started screaming at me.
21:37And, I mean, there was nothing for me to do but to leave, to turn around and walk away.
21:45Where were you on Thursday between 5 and 9 PM?
21:50I was here at the office and I worked late that day.
21:55Excuse me, doctor, but your wife and son just arrived.
21:59You were supposed to have lunch today?
22:01Of course.
22:02Can you just give me one more second?
22:04Of course.
22:07Please.
22:08You check my alibi, do whatever you have to do, but I'm begging you, please leave my wife out of
22:13it.
22:13There are no promises, Dr. Talbot.
22:15I am following this investigation to wherever it leads.
22:19Daddy!
22:21Hey, buddy. Come here.
22:26Detective Beckett, I didn't expect to see you here today.
22:31Um, a clerk misplaced the notes from our first interview and your husband was very kind to let us go
22:37over it all again.
22:38I see.
22:39Happy to help.
22:41Have a wonderful lunch.
22:44Yes, I'll hold.
22:46So you're asking about last Thursday?
22:48That's right.
22:49That was a long day. We were booked solid from mid-morning on and stayed late for monthly inventory.
22:54Dr. Talbot too?
22:55Uh, hi. Yes, it's Dr. Talbot's office calling.
22:58Him too. We wrapped up a little after nine.
23:02You gotta be kidding.
23:03He alibied out?
23:04Oh, come on.
23:05We had him arguing with our Vic on the day of her murder.
23:08It wasn't him.
23:10Hey, Beckett.
23:11Just got off the horn with the 74th in Brooklyn.
23:13Uniform recognized your Vic's name off the blotter.
23:15He thinks from a call he answered about two years back.
23:18What kind of a call?
23:19He doesn't remember exactly and the incident report was never computerized, but he's fairly sure someone filed a complaint against
23:24her Vic.
23:25That could be almost anything.
23:26Yeah, well they shouldn't have the file pulled by morning.
23:28Sounds like our Vic isn't as squeaky clean as we've been making her out to be.
23:31Whatever the complaint is, I'm gonna need the two of you to pick it up first thing in the morning.
23:35Well guys, I got two words to tide you over in the meantime.
23:39Open bar.
23:56So this is how the other half lives.
24:06Hi, did you sign it?
24:08Isn't this great?
24:09You're acting again.
24:10I'm making straight A's and Dad finished writing another book.
24:13Cherish the moment, kiddo.
24:14If there's one thing I've learned in life, nothing ever lasts.
24:18Hey, it's Nicky Heath!
24:34You clean up nice, detective.
24:35Thank you, sir.

27:47fine fine
28:12what are you doing here castle don't you have bigger more lucrative fish to fry
28:17actually i just left my sunglasses here yesterday oh please that is the lamest excuse i have ever
28:26you know what while you're at it don't forget those
28:32you guys get the incident report yeah and apparently aliska was seen on multiple occasions
28:38hanging around some local park and at some point she walked up to somebody's kid and spoke to him
28:42kid's mom thought it was a little odd because she wasn't there with a child of her own so
28:46mom mentioned it to a patrolman any charges filed no supposedly she was very cooperative and left
28:51quietly sounds a lot like the incident with the talbot boy poor lady you got a feel for what
28:56she went through sorry to interrupt but javik super's on the phone and wants to know if he can go
29:01ahead
29:01and rent her apartment and she's paid all the way till friday but he's got somebody who wants it now
29:05tell him to go ahead we already have everything we need from the crime scene you guys check with the
29:09mom who filed the report there might be something more to it than we realized on it
29:20you're still here
29:25karpowski did the super say she was paid up to friday that's what he said
29:30that doesn't make any sense that place rents by the week
29:34she was killed last thursday how could she be paid up through this coming friday
29:42aliska never missed a payment yeah i found her uh rent money slid under my door on friday
29:47i didn't think anything of it because i didn't know she was dead yet
29:51not until you guys showed up the next day now why would someone pay her rent after she's dead
29:56whoever killed her must have figured there'd be less chance she'd be reported missing that way
30:00look i don't want to seem cold or anything uh she was a nice lady may she rest in peace
30:05but can i
30:06rent the apartment should i give her stuff to her friend her friend yeah a lady who picks up her
30:12mail every day someone is picking up her mail yeah she's got a cute in a mailbox i figure it
30:16was a
30:17friend a relative what does this friend look like oh well-dressed early 40s blonde hair
30:24are you thinking what i'm thinking melissa talbot super said he remembered her coming in the hallway
30:31around lunchtime it's already past two a threatening letter i've been sitting here thinking what reason
30:39would the wife have to want to intercept aliska's mail maybe she sent her some kind of threatening
30:43letter a keep your hands off my man kind of thing she gets impatient she confronts her and then aliska's
30:48dead meanwhile the letter is still in root so talbot's afraid it'll connect them the irony is it
30:55never would have connected them we don't go through a victim's mail unless there's probable cause and a
30:59warrant first thank you for what for using irony correctly ever since an alantus morissette song
31:08people use it when they actually mean coincidence drives me nuts yeah well it must be your great
31:13grammatical influence over me i may be going but i'm leaving something of myself behind
31:32castle it's her it's talbot's wife come on
31:39she's going for the mail
31:45mrs talbot
31:48whoa you're not the wife you're the nurse
31:54dr talbot is a good man i've worked for him for 10 years i know he had nothing to do
32:02with what
32:02happened to that lady what exactly did he tell you to do he kept a little apartment for her where
32:11they would meet
32:16he gave me a key to the mailbox he said he'd sent her a check he'd felt bad about the
32:22way things had
32:23ended between them and he wanted to give her some money is that what's in here a check he told
32:30me to
32:31look for an envelope stamped confidential with an address from new jersey from his brokerage account
32:37he wanted me to get the check so no one would be able to put the two of them together
32:41that's all you were helping him cover the affair it doesn't mean he killed her when you told us he
32:47worked late at the office that day were you telling the truth he didn't stay late that night
32:56he left at six so the envelope came from an office parked in paramus is there a uh brokerage firm
33:04of
33:04some kind there true way insurance chromo diagnostic lab systems brandby financial group that would be
33:11where the check came from if talbot was telling the truth i got a feeling he wasn't even telling the
33:15truth about the affair with aliska he's hiding something the answer is in here how long before
33:20the warrant comes through we can open it a couple of hours at least
33:26hey did you find the mom who filed the complaint found her talked to her it all went down pretty
33:30much
33:30the way the incident report said turns out the reason that the mom first noticed our vic hanging
33:35around the playground was she said she looked kind of familiar as it happens they were both in the
33:39same post delivery ward in the hospital yeah both babies were born on the same day can you believe
33:44that both boys too did she happen to mention one hospital yeah brian general why brian general where
33:51talbot works what do you want to castle i'm not sure but i wonder if we look into it we're
33:57gonna find
33:57that the talbot boy was born at brian general on the same day as well would you check that for
34:03me
34:04did you see there was a lab at that office yeah chromo diagnostic lab systems i think i know what's
34:11in that envelope i'm sorry i'm confused we want to help you in any way that we can but like
34:16we already
34:16told you we barely knew the woman she'd only been working in the building a few months as it turns
34:21out
34:21your paths crossed long before you realized aliska sokol had a son who was born in the same hospital
34:28on the same day as your boy zane he passed away three years ago he died of neiman pick syndrome
34:35it's a rare congenital disorder oh my god that poor woman that's probably why she was so attentive
34:44to zane they were the same age actually we think there was more to it than that how so the
34:50incident
34:50with the candy that you told us about we think she gave that to him to distract him so she
34:55could swab his
34:55mouth swab his mouth what for she was trying to get a dna test done
35:04why would she i mean i don't we got a warrant for aliska's mail just before she was killed she
35:10sent
35:10two mouth swabs to a mail order lab in new jersey one of them was your son's the other was
35:17hers
35:20these were the results i'm sorry melissa
35:27i'm so sorry
35:31when the amnio came back i just didn't know how to tell you and i knew you'd just you just
35:36see it
35:36through no matter what the test said and i thought i just i'd put it off and deal with it
35:40after the baby
35:41was born cameron i don't understand what you're saying neiman pick our baby had neiman pick no zane
35:49is fine what are you talking about it's no treatment it's always fatal usually by age three
35:58i don't even think it crossed my mind that i could get away with it until i was in the
36:02nursery
36:03checking on the baby you were still in recovery and there they were side by side in their cribs
36:11i just thought how hard would it be i know i would suspect they all know me around here they
36:16see me
36:17practically every day i can change the charts later right now i just have to switch the tags and pick
36:26him up and bring him to you in the room and everything would be all right he'd be ours
36:34and you'd never have to know cameron please tell me you didn't kill that woman
36:41please god tell me you didn't kill that woman
36:47oh my god
36:50oh my god i couldn't let her destroy our lives i couldn't let her take them away
36:58what am i gonna do
37:02please someone tell me what am i supposed to do
37:08after talbot dumped aliska's body he grabbed her keys and went back to her apartment to get rid of
37:12anything else that connected the two of them that's when he found the paperwork for the lab
37:17nice detective work you two actually sir it's aliska sokol who deserves the credit for the detective
37:23work the way we figure it she got the job at the hospital cleaning crew solely to get access to
37:29the
37:29birth records she made it her mission to find out the truth yeah but did it cost her life
37:35seems so pointless somehow maybe not thank you
37:43my hands they're shaking it'll be okay we told mrs talbot that you have no intention of taking zane
37:51away she knows you just want to be a part of his life hello mrs talbot please call me melissa
