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?
00:12Every writer needs inspiration.
00:14And I've found mine.
00:15Detective Kate Beckett.
00:16Beckett.
00:17Beckett.
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.
00:29Should they remind me a little of Hoot?
00:51Hey.
00:55What's wrong?
00:57Dad, they're saying she's dead.
00:59Who's dead?
01:01Hayley Blue.
01:02The Gawker website just posted it.
01:04Oh, the girl from the band you like.
01:06They say they found her body in an alley in Chelsea.
01:08Oh, Angel.
01:08Are you sure it's not just a rumor?
01:10I mean, those gossip blogs, they don't really check facts.
01:12They were right when they said Hayley was breaking up the band to go solo.
01:16Look, if there was any truth to it, I'm sure Detective Beckett would have called by now.
01:30They have to go solo.
01:32They have to go solo.
01:33They have to go solo.
01:35Okay.
01:38They're calling me, they're calling you.
01:43You know her?
01:45Are you sure it's her?
01:46That's Haley Blue.
01:47It took Alexis to see her band, The Blue Pill, last year.
01:50What happened?
01:51Well, it looks like she was killed off-site, then brought here and staged.
01:55Time of death?
01:56Uh, I'd say between midnight and 3 a.m., give or take.
02:01Did you guys hear that?
02:03What?
02:03The song.
02:04It's playing again.
02:12It's on a repeat.
02:13What?
02:15Hear Kitty Kitty by The Blue Pill.
02:16That's one of hers.
02:18Well, it's got to be a message, right?
02:19All right, have CSU bag this, check the body, fibers, prints, the whole works.
02:23Guy could have tossed the body in a dumpster, and instead he hangs her from a fire scape.
02:27He is sending a message.
02:34It's about time you got back.
02:35We've got a very persistent citizen waiting to ask you some questions.
02:39Alexis, what are you doing here?
02:41How come you're not at school?
02:42I've studied all first period.
02:44Dad, is it true?
02:45Uh, yeah, sweetie, I'm afraid so.
02:48What happened?
02:49Was it the drugs?
02:50Doesn't look like it.
02:51Why?
02:52Did she have a drug problem?
02:53Well, she used to.
02:54She went to rehab three months ago after her friends found her choking on her own.
02:56Oh, okay.
02:57You know what?
02:58I think it's time we reset the parental controls on your computer.
03:00Please, I had to set parental control on your computer, remember?
03:04Speaking of which.
03:06Beckett.
03:07Yeah?
03:07The street was negative for cameras.
03:09We got a dozen shoe prints off the alley, size 5 through 11.
03:12Checked her DMV records online.
03:13She moved from the address they have listed three months ago.
03:16That was about the same time that Hayley went into rehab.
03:18But, check this out.
03:20I ran a search for that song on Hayley's iPod, here, Kitty Kitty.
03:23Look what popped up.
03:25I can see the writing cause I wrote it on the wall.
03:28A music video?
03:29Let's see if this looks familiar.
03:32You can't talk around the vibe just because I'm open wide.
03:36You can't catch me though you try.
03:38You can kiss this goodbye.
03:41Here.
03:41Here.
03:41Here.
03:42Here.
03:43Is that how you found her?
03:45Does that mean anything to you?
03:47Yeah, Hayley wrote this song about some obsessed fan who was stalking her.
03:51Do you know who he was?
03:52Wait, there might be something in the song.
03:54Play it again.
03:55It's okay to want me, but you want nothing else.
03:59Sitting back and plotting is a crime in itself.
04:03Sitting back and plotting.
04:04Sounds like she thought he was dangerous.
04:06Yeah, listen, here's the part.
04:0750 feet or less mean anything to you at all.
04:1250 feet or less.
04:13She got a restraining order against him.
04:15All right, run in and get me a name.
04:17And you will go off to school.
04:20But I was just helpful.
04:22Yes, but if I let you out of class every time you were helpful, you'd never go.
04:25But I won't be able to focus on school today.
04:26I just can't concentrate.
04:28Which will make you just like all the other kids in your class.
04:30Dad.
04:30I am serious, or I will call the truant officer.
04:33Do you still have truant officers?
04:34Budget cuts.
04:36You're so lucky.
04:38Found your stalker.
04:39Franco Marquez, a.k.a. Frankie Markey.
04:42Hayley filed half a dozen complaints against him.
04:44It says here that he even tried to break into her apartment.
04:47And when she filed against him, he showed up in court and he called her a...
04:54B-I-T-C-H.
04:56She can spell, detective.
04:57Probably better than you.
04:59Bring him in.
05:00And you.
05:01To school.
05:03Fine.
05:12What?
05:13Nothing.
05:15It's just I'm so used to you acting like a 12-year-old all the time.
05:18It's kind of refreshing to see you as a father.
05:20Makes you want me, right?
05:22And there's a 12-year-old again.
05:24Who are you calling?
05:25Alison King Rehab Center.
05:27It's where all the stars go to clean up.
05:29Figured Hayley must have given them her home address on her exit interview.
05:31If Hayley cleaned up, that's where she would have gone.
05:36Mrs. Bush, the rehab center said that you and your husband paid for her treatment
05:40and that she moved in with you after she left the facility.
05:43Yeah.
05:44She'd become like family.
05:46Do all record producers pay for their artists to go to rehab?
05:49No.
05:50Most just score them drugs and then look the other way.
05:53Manager gets them some pot so they can relax.
05:55The producer gets them some blow so they can...
05:58so they can work.
06:00And someone gets them heroin.
06:02By the time we got to Hayley, she was already hooked.
06:06We told her our door was always open if she wanted to get clean.
06:09She was always better than that band.
06:11She was the talent.
06:13When they finally broke up, she wanted off the drug, so we took her in.
06:17She was ready.
06:18She was recording again.
06:19And to be killed by a fan.
06:22Actually, we don't know for sure that it was Franco.
06:24You don't?
06:25No.
06:26But you weren't there in the middle of the night when she was waking up screaming.
06:29Terrified that something like this was going to happen.
06:32We were supposed to protect her.
06:34We should have tried harder to find her.
06:36To find her?
06:37Last Monday, she didn't show up at the studio for a session.
06:41When we got home, she was gone.
06:42So were her clothes, her watch, her jewelry, anything she could sell.
06:47We figured she'd relapsed.
06:49We tried calling her, but her cell phone was disconnected.
06:52It, you know, it wasn't like her to just disappear.
06:55Something spooked her.
06:57Did Hayley have any family?
06:58Yeah.
06:59A sister, Skye.
07:02Do you know where we could find her?
07:03Wherever she is, she probably has a needle in her arm.
07:06When Hayley got out of rehab, all she could talk about was saving Skye.
07:10Not that Skye wanted saving after what Hayley did to her.
07:13What did Hayley do to her?
07:15She got famous?
07:20Oh, excuse me.
07:24Beckett.
07:25Our fanatic fan is rabbiting.
07:27A neighbor saw him leaving with a backpack this morning.
07:29From the looks of this place, he left in a hurry.
07:32Any idea where he was going?
07:33Yeah, wait.
07:34He also charged a bus ticket at Port Authority this morning.
07:37He's headed upstate.
07:37Bus pulled off five minutes ago.
07:39You hear that?
07:40Yeah.
08:02All right, got her.
08:03Here's where I can see him.
08:04Now!
08:05Nobody move!
08:06Let's go.
08:43Franco Marquez, you're under arrest
08:45for the murder of Hayley Blue.
08:46Get up.
08:49Easy, easy, man.
08:50I'll go.
09:01You guys are so stupid.
09:05I loved Hayley.
09:06She was my soulmate.
09:07Why would I kill her?
09:09Why did you run?
09:11When I heard how you found her,
09:12I knew what you'd think.
09:13She wrote a song about me,
09:14so of course I must have...
09:17Where were you after midnight last night?
09:20She played a set at the Bitter End last night.
09:23Brand new song.
09:25It was like a total surprise,
09:26like there was no email blast or nothing,
09:28so I wasn't there.
09:29I asked you where you were,
09:30not where you weren't.
09:32Someone recorded the concert
09:33and posted it online.
09:34It's gone totally viral already,
09:36so that's where I was.
09:37At home, in my room,
09:39listening to Hayley's final show.
09:40You say final show like you knew
09:42it was going to be your last.
09:44I did know.
09:46So did Hayley.
09:48She knew last night she was going to die.
10:18She knew he was going to kill her last night,
10:20and he knew he could frame me when he did.
10:22Who are you talking about?
10:23I know I'm not supposed to,
10:25but the restraining order...
10:26I followed her.
10:28I came around the corner,
10:29he was yelling at her.
10:32He said he was going to kill her.
10:34Who said?
10:36Franco, who did you see?
10:38Zach Metzger.
10:41Her guitarist.
10:43Zach Metzger, guitar guy.
10:45Juvie records are sealed,
10:46but he's got a half a dozen priors as an adult.
10:48A couple of them are domestic assaults, too.
10:50Apparently, he likes to hit women.
10:53Look at this guy.
10:53If I was a woman, I'd just hit him back.
10:56Does he look like a killer to you?
10:57Everybody looks like a killer to me, Tassel.
10:59Job requirement.
11:01Do I look like a killer to you?
11:03Yes, you kill my patients.
11:07Hey, so...
11:08I just took a report from the receiving officer
11:10at the 20th Precinct.
11:11He recognized Hayley from the news.
11:13And?
11:14He says Hayley showed up at their door
11:15to file a report the day she went missing.
11:18About what?
11:19He doesn't know.
11:20She asked to speak with the detective.
11:22By the time the receiving officer found one,
11:23she'd skipped out.
11:25There's only one reason you go to the cops.
11:27To report a crime.
11:28Or to get help because you think you're in danger.
11:49We heard about what happened to Hayley.
11:52It sucks, right?
11:53Can I get you a tissue?
11:55We have a witness who saw you guys fighting.
11:58So?
11:59So she's dead now.
12:00Well, I didn't kill her.
12:02You sure about that?
12:03You sure you didn't get a little high?
12:05Maybe pull a hoax smash on your bandmate?
12:08Yeah.
12:09Yeah, I'm sure.
12:10Where were you between midnight and 3 a.m. on Sunday night?
12:14We had a gig.
12:17Gillespie Suite 16 over on 82nd.
12:19We finished around 1.30.
12:20We packed up and we were out by 2.
12:22Me and Nick shared a cab to Williamsburg.
12:24I paid with a credit card.
12:26Are we done?
12:27Wow.
12:28Sweet 16 parties.
12:30When Hayley was with the band, weren't you opening for Pink?
12:32What do you guys want me to say?
12:34Okay?
12:34She screwed all of us when she had her little meltdown and decided to go solo.
12:38Do I hate her?
12:39Yes.
12:39Did I kill her?
12:41No.
12:41What did you guys fight about?
12:44Her being a selfish bitch.
12:46She found out that we were holding auditions for her replacement and she had those D-bag producers
12:51send us a cease and resist letter.
12:52Or a cease and desist letter.
12:56We made the reputation for the name Blue Pill, but she owned it.
13:00So what?
13:01She has a meltdown and disappears off the map and we can't use our own damn name?
13:06How?
13:07We can't even get arrested now.
13:09Poor choice of words.
13:13Beckett.
13:16Okay.
13:19Hayley's sister is on her way to the morgue to identify the body.
13:23Don't leave town.
13:24One more time is what I want.
13:27But feel free to bathe.
13:29Whenever I begin to turn.
13:31Yeah, we need security down here right away.
13:34You are.
13:36What's going on in there?
13:37Hayley Blue's sister, Skye, is having a very emotional reaction to her sister.
13:42Definitely.
13:43Who's dead now, huh?
13:44You are.
13:45Skye?
13:47Ow.
13:49Ow.
13:50What do you want?
13:51I'm talking to my sister.
13:53I'm Detective Kate Beckett.
13:55I'd like to ask you a few questions, if that's okay.
13:57You're a cop?
13:59Yeah.
14:00Is that a knife?
14:01Am I breaking the law?
14:03Yeah.
14:04Bad?
14:06Pretty bad.
14:19Do you want to know a secret?
14:24I think I might have killed her.
14:27I think I might have killed her.
14:38How did you kill her?
14:39I told her to do the world a favor and drop dead.
14:42And then she did.
14:43It's funny.
14:44She usually doesn't listen to me.
14:46Why would you tell her to drop dead?
14:47She's your sister.
14:48She was an ass.
14:50When did you see her last?
14:52I don't know.
14:52Wednesday, Thursday.
14:53What day is it today?
14:54Where'd you see her?
15:03She found me selling a bracelet that she bought me for my birthday.
15:08Do you know where she was staying?
15:10No.
15:11Not since she left Brannians, the Church of Holier Than Thou.
15:14She said she was going off the grid.
15:16She didn't even have a phone.
15:18Secret agent, clean and sober, Haley Blue.
15:20Why'd she leave their place?
15:22She always leaves.
15:25You said she was looking for you last week.
15:28Yeah, she had something to tell me.
15:29Something important.
15:31What?
15:31I don't know, because I told her to go screw herself.
15:34I mean, I really don't need her trying to fix me or trying to save me
15:37or making promises that she knew she wasn't going to be able to keep.
15:41What promises would she make?
15:42She said that I could come back.
15:44She said that we were going to be a team.
15:48But I had to get clean.
15:50You've got to clean up, baby girl.
15:52You're going to end up dead.
15:53Hmm.
15:55Thus, irony.
15:57How was I supposed to get clean
15:59when she couldn't even do it?
16:01Wait a minute.
16:01She was using again.
16:03Yeah, she was with Tony the day after I saw her.
16:05Who's Tony?
16:07My dealer.
16:09She was handing him a lot of cash.
16:14I was just thinking, if she was using it again,
16:16that would explain why she left her producers,
16:18but not why she was killed, who killed her,
16:21or why she went to the police.
16:23What I just said was not confusing enough
16:24for your face to do what it's doing.
16:26That was Perlmutter.
16:27The tox results just got back from the lab.
16:30There were no drugs in Haley's system.
16:32She was 100% clean and sober.
16:34Then why was she giving a lot of cash to Tony the drug dealer?
16:42She didn't want drugs.
16:43She wanted a gun.
16:45A gun?
16:46Not a punk-ass .22 either, a .38.
16:48She wanted to put a hole in her brother.
16:50Seeing as she's dead,
16:51I say I did the right thing at the time.
16:53The girl was scared.
16:54Of what?
16:55Didn't say, and I didn't ask.
16:58She just wanted the gun.
17:01Are you sure?
17:02You're telling me how to do my job?
17:04No, Perlmutter.
17:04I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job.
17:06Good.
17:06I'm not talking to you yet.
17:08Hello?
17:10He just hung up on me.
17:12There's a reason he hangs out with dead people.
17:13So what did he say?
17:14He identified the lipstick that was used to paint a smile on Haley's face as Daniela Boland's Velvet Kiss Lipstick,
17:20Lava Red.
17:20Yes, but what about the gun?
17:21What did he say about the gun?
17:22Oh, I thought you'd never ask.
17:24They found gunpowder residue on Haley's hands.
17:26So not only did she buy a gun, but she used it.
17:29But why didn't we find it?
17:31It's because we didn't find her where she was killed.
17:32So someone attacked her, someone that she was afraid of.
17:37She tries to shoot them, and in the struggle, the assailant breaks her neck, drags her down an alleyway, hangs
17:41her upside down, paints a smile on her face, which apparently was a lot like a music video that has
17:48nothing to do with our murder.
17:50You thought you sounded so smart when you started that sentence, didn't you?
17:53Okay, Mr. Mystery Writer Man, what's your best-selling theory?
17:56I'm going to go with the butler.
17:58The butler?
17:59That's who we always go with when we run out of ideas.
18:01How about Alexis?
18:02Oh, Alexis.
18:03She's perfect.
18:04She's peripheral to the case.
18:05We don't suspect her.
18:06She has no alibi.
18:08Okay, I'll tell you what.
18:09Why don't you go home and question her, and if she breaks, call me.
18:14Hey.
18:16If you killed someone, you would tell me, right?
18:19Of course.
18:22I need help hiding the body.
18:24That's my girl.
18:25Hi, darling.
18:26Did you get my texts?
18:27Yeah, did you really meet the rest of the blue pill?
18:29Yes, I did.
18:30And all I can say is, admire them from afar.
18:34What are you listening to?
18:35It's Haley's last performance.
18:38Oi.
18:38She hasn't stopped listening to it all night.
18:41It's called Threshold.
18:43Oh, yeah.
18:43It's pretty.
18:44A little creepy, though.
18:46Very creepy.
18:47How's it creepy?
18:48Death she grows near.
18:49It's kind of like final destination, but in song form.
18:52She doesn't mean death, death.
18:54Well, what other kinds of deaths are there?
18:57Allegorical, metaphoric, symbolic, spiritual, emotional, sexual.
19:00Oh, okay.
19:01Okay.
19:02That's quite enough.
19:03I think I'm paying part too much for her education.
19:05I think this one's symbolic.
19:07Haley was in the all sorts of new agey imagery.
19:10Numerology, astrology, tarot.
19:12And in tarot, the death card doesn't symbolize dying.
19:15It symbolizes transformation, change.
19:18Listen.
19:19The hands were dealt.
19:21Will never disappear.
19:25The hands were dealt.
19:26Like, she's having her cards read.
19:28Death grows near means change is coming.
19:30Oh, oh, that reminds me of sitting around with Lisa Olsen trying to decode the Beatles' lyrics.
19:36Spinning the record backwards and to see if Paul was dead.
19:40And who could forget the countless hours I spent pondering the lyrics to Van Halen's Hot
19:43for a teacher?
19:44Hmm.
19:47Whoa.
19:48Sounds like a drama is afoot.
19:50Who kissed whom at which bleachers?
19:51No.
19:52It's the official Blue Pill website.
19:54There's a new thread talking about the band getting back together.
19:56What?
19:58Look at this.
20:00Sky Blue is supposed to take Haley's place as lead singer.
20:03This is all but a dumb deal.
20:05I heard the starting rehearsals right away.
20:07OMG, OMG, OMG.
20:09Oh, look at this one.
20:09A source at John McGinnis Management confirmed it when I called.
20:12The Blue Pillow is definitely getting back together.
20:15Haley blew tribute to her.
20:16I thought you said Haley wouldn't let the band have the name back.
20:18She wouldn't.
20:19Then how can they use it?
20:20Well, Haley is dead and Sky's her only family.
20:23If Haley owned the name, then it would go to Sky.
20:25You don't think Sky killed her own sister?
20:27Sky is 100 pounds dripping wet.
20:30The only neck she could break is her own.
20:33John McGinnis Management.
20:35Who's John McGinnis?
20:36Haley's old manager.
20:37She fired him when she got clean.
20:38She didn't say his name, but in our interview in Spin last month, she pretty much implied
20:43that he's the one that got her hooked to begin with.
20:46If the band got back together, he'd have the most to gain.
20:48Now, does that man look like a killer to you?
20:51Everybody looks like a killer to me.
20:53It's a job requirement.
20:55You didn't say that about Sky.
20:57Just let me have this moment.
21:03I told you, Sunday night I was in Philly scouting a band.
21:07I hit a motel, I watched a little pay-per-view, and I went to bed.
21:11Which may say something about my taste, but it does not make me a criminal.
21:15But your rap sheet does.
21:18Six counts of misdemeanor possession, two counts of felony possession, with the intent to distribute.
21:23What did you do, McGinnis?
21:25Give him a little taste?
21:27Make him need you?
21:29Make him depend on you?
21:31You want to know what I do?
21:33I make things happen.
21:36When I met Haley and her sister, they were playing open mics at coffeehouses in the East Village.
21:41Who do you think got her a vocal coach?
21:44Who paid for her stylist?
21:45I took a third-rate, a third-rate Miley Cyrus, and turned her into the next Gwen Stefani.
21:51And right before my payoff, she walks away.
21:57I, I, I...
21:58And since she owned the band name, your hands were tied.
22:02But now that she's dead, all you needed to do was rope in Sky.
22:08Look, the way I see it, the band gets back together.
22:13Everybody makes a lot of money.
22:15Everybody's happy.
22:16Except for Haley.
22:18Because she's dead.
22:19Which will, no doubt, help us sell lots of tickets when the band goes back on tour.
22:25Is that why you killed her?
22:30Now, I know my rights here, and I'm done talking.
22:34You think you got a case?
22:36Arrest me.
22:37I would love to have that kind of publicity.
22:40I never fully appreciated the nuances of the word skeevy until just now.
22:45Hey, Ryan, did you get the phone records for John McGinnis and McGinnis Management?
22:49I just got him.
22:51I don't think he did it.
22:53He challenged me to arrest him.
22:54He's probably screwed and figures bluffing as his best bet.
22:57Ryan, let's cross-reference his calls with our hit list.
23:00Find out if he was in contact with anyone from Haley's inner circle.
23:03What about him being in Philadelphia?
23:04With the right connections, you can kill with a phone call.
23:07Yeah, right here.
23:09Looks like the day before Haley died, McGinnis put in a ten-minute phone call to Zach, the guitarist.
23:15He hasn't represented the band in months.
23:18Why would he call Zach the day before Haley died?
23:21Let's go find out.
23:24What is your problem?
23:26You're free!
23:27You're completely mental.
23:28Who the hell do you think you are, loser?
23:30What?
23:32Get the hell away from me!
23:34Touch me again and I'll kill you.
23:37Hey!
23:37Screw you, you stupid whore!
23:39Stop!
23:40Hey, Skye.
23:42No, leave me alone!
23:43What did you do to her?
23:44Nothing, man.
23:45She attacked me.
23:46We were riffing on one of Haley's songs.
23:48One minute she's singing along, the next minute she goes postal and starts telling me I'm stealing from Haley.
23:53She's crazy!
23:54It doesn't look good, Zach.
23:55Beating up one blue, killing another.
23:57Look, I already told you guys.
23:58Sit down!
23:59Sit!
24:02Now talk.
24:05I already told you guys.
24:07I didn't kill Haley.
24:08Okay?
24:09I was at the birthday gig, remember?
24:10Right.
24:11The Gillespie Sweet 16.
24:13You took three half-hour breaks in between sets during which no one remembers seeing you.
24:19You could have easily slipped away and killed Haley.
24:22Nobody saw me because I didn't want to spark up a pipe in front of a bunch of teenagers.
24:26Well, your innate sense of decency is inspiring.
24:28Why did you talk to John McGinnis the day before Haley was killed?
24:31He's my manager.
24:32Is that a crime?
24:32Ex-manager.
24:33He let all of you guys go after Haley disbanded the group.
24:37So why did he call you, Zach?
24:39I'll tell you why.
24:41You both needed to get rid of Haley to get the band name back, and he called with a plan.
24:46Okay, look.
24:47Fine, he had a plan.
24:48But it wasn't to kill Haley.
24:49He wanted to find Skye.
24:51Why?
24:51He heard that Skye and Haley were talking again.
24:53He wanted me to grease her wheels a bit.
24:55What, with your vast array of charms?
24:59McGinnis wanted me to give her dope, and have her talk to Haley, and get the band name back.
25:05He knew that the only way to get to Haley was through Skye.
25:09So I got her wasted.
25:11Okay?
25:11A little too wasted.
25:13And I went to go see Haley myself.
25:16You saw Haley the night that she was killed.
25:20You should have told us that, Zach.
25:22What?
25:23Make me look even more guilty to you guys?
25:25No.
25:26I watch TV.
25:27I know how the jury works.
25:29These are the little things that get you convicted.
25:31So does lying to cops.
25:32Keep going.
25:33Spill it.
25:35She was at a coffee house.
25:38She was writing songs again.
25:40Everything was fine until her phone rang.
25:42What happened?
25:44She freaked.
25:45She hit ignore.
25:46But every time she did, it just rang again.
25:49And every time it rang, she just flicked out even more.
25:52You have any idea who it was?
25:53Yeah, because they called so many times I saw the caller ID.
25:58Scared me when I saw it, too.
26:02I said it was death calling.
26:08I thought she didn't have a phone.
26:09She probably had a pay-as-you-go plan, paid cash, and gave the phone company false information.
26:15Well, that makes sense if she was hiding from death and trying to stay off the grid like Skye said.
26:19Okay, so obviously there's a human being at the other end of the phone.
26:22And whoever it is probably tracked her down and then killed her.
26:25So, who had the dubious distinction of being known by Haley as death?
26:30Okay, well, how does the song go?
26:32Death, she grows near.
26:34She, death as a woman.
26:35Okay, following you so far.
26:36Okay, Alexa says that Haley liked to draw from tarot cards in her writing.
26:40In tarot cards, death isn't death.
26:42Death means change.
26:43Okay, so she wasn't hiding from death.
26:45She was hiding from change.
26:47She hated Obama.
26:48Who was the embodiment of change?
26:51What woman represented the biggest change in Haley's life?
26:56The one who sent her to rehab.
26:58The one who saved her life.
27:00Brie Bush?
27:00Why would Haley's producer want to hurt her?
27:02I don't know, but it's worth a shot.
27:08Are you crying?
27:16Hey.
27:20I was singing her words.
27:23I could hear her voice.
27:26I could feel her like she was here.
27:33That's because your sister was strong.
27:37You thought that she was using again, but she wasn't.
27:39She was clean.
27:49I wish there was something we could do.
27:50Can't we send her to rehab or something?
27:52No one can help her until she's ready to get clean.
27:56So, I called in the warrants you wanted on Brie Bush.
27:59Phone records are going to take a day, but her credit card puts her in the city at 1048.
28:03Now, I checked her interview notes.
28:05She said she was at home at Brooklyn at 10.
28:07Where was she at 1048?
28:08I got a pharmacy at 12th and 19th.
28:10That's three blocks from the crime scene.
28:12Yeah.
28:13Made me wonder what she was shopping for, so I called the store.
28:15They faxed over a receipt.
28:18Bottle of water.
28:19Energy bar.
28:21And a tube of Daniela Boland Velvet Kiss Lava Red Lipstick.
28:25That's the same lipstick used to paint a smile on Haley's face.
28:32Okay, it's true.
28:33I saw her the night she died.
28:36Why didn't you tell us that before?
28:38She'd called the studio.
28:39Earlier that day, she spoke to my assistant, Kelly.
28:41Okay?
28:41She said she wanted to come by and pick up some stuff she'd left behind.
28:44A guitar and some pedals.
28:46That's how you got her new number.
28:47I called her back immediately.
28:48You know, I kept calling.
28:49She wouldn't pick up.
28:50I must have left half a dozen messages.
28:52So finally, I, you know, left her message saying, come by tonight.
28:55You know, someone will be here to give you your stuff.
28:57And I didn't tell her it was going to be me, so she showed.
29:00What time was that?
29:01About 11.
29:04Anyway, I said, I'm not going to give you your stuff unless you tell me what was going on.
29:07You know?
29:08Oh, she wouldn't even look at me.
29:10You have to understand, I had put so much money into this record.
29:14If she didn't finish it, I was going to lose this studio.
29:20So I had to get her to stay, right?
29:24Well, she was using anyway.
29:27You offered her drugs?
29:29A bag.
29:30I offered her a bag.
29:32I said, there's plenty more where that came from.
29:35I would have gotten her help.
29:38After she finished, I couldn't let her walk away.
29:42Yeah, well, here's the thing, Mrs. Bush.
29:44Haley was clean when she died.
29:46She wasn't using.
29:47Well, I know that now.
29:49I mean, she opened up her jacket and showed me what was tucked inside.
29:54A gun.
29:56She had a gun.
29:58And she said, I would rather put a bullet in my brain than to be using again.
30:02Let me make sure I'm getting this right.
30:05You lured Haley here under false pretenses, offered her drugs, got into a heated argument,
30:11and you're telling me that she walked out of that door alive.
30:15When did you replace the panel on this baffle?
30:19I don't think it's ever been replaced.
30:21Yeah, it has.
30:22It's newer than the other ones.
30:22Could you be careful, please?
30:24That's expensive equipment.
30:26Castle, what are you doing?
30:34Apparently, I'm uncovering a bullet hole.
30:41Judging from the diameter of the hole, it's a 38.
30:44That gunpowder residue on Haley's hands, this is where the gun was fired.
30:50I have no idea how that bullet hole got there.
30:53You and Haley fought.
30:54You knew that if she walked out of that door, you would never see her again.
30:57And so you grabbed her from behind.
30:59She pulled out a gun.
31:01It scared you.
31:02You held her tight.
31:03A shot went off.
31:04You held her tighter still.
31:06And before you even knew what happened, she stopped struggling.
31:09You broke her neck without realizing it.
31:11That's not what happened.
31:13That's not what happened at all.
31:15If it was an accident, if it was an act of self-defense, you're going to make this all
31:19easier on yourself just by telling us the truth.
31:23She's going to do 20 years instead of pleading out and doing five.
31:27Guilty conscience or lousy lawyer?
31:30Brie, please.
31:30I can't lose you for 20 years.
31:33I can't lie.
31:34I didn't hurt her.
31:36I guess it's up to the lawyers now.
31:38That's not what happened.
31:55You're going home to tell Alexis the news?
31:58Just thought I'd go for a walk.
31:59Any place in particular?
32:04Kills me thinking about her out there alone.
32:09Come on.
32:10I'll drive.
32:15Skye?
32:16Skye?
32:18Are you sure Zach said she was crashing here?
32:21Yeah.
32:30It's over there.
32:33Skye.
32:34Skye.
32:38Skye.
32:40You okay?
32:41Can you hear me?
32:43How much did you take?
32:46McGinnis gave us a signing bonus.
32:48We could hold us a place we could fix for cheap.
32:53I couldn't do it.
32:56Hayley didn't want me to.
33:02I'm clean.
33:07You couldn't help me, right?
33:09Wherever she is.
33:12She's looking out for me, right?
33:15She's already doing it.
33:18Come on.
33:20Let's get you out of here.
33:34Is Skye going to be okay?
33:36Is Skye going to be okay?
33:38I think so.
33:40The worst part is over.
33:42Now she just has to figure out the rest of her life.
33:46And Hayley?
33:47The whole thing was just some stupid accident?
33:51It's just so pointless.
33:53I know.
33:55I know.
33:55Sometimes when we lose an artist we like, it's kind of like losing a friend.
33:59You know, I remember when John Lennon died.
34:03I didn't leave my room for a week.
34:05She was only 25.
34:07I can't help but think about all the songs she won't write that we won't get to hear now.
34:12And all because the producer thought she was back on drugs.
34:17Why would she even think that?
34:18You know, when people we care about suddenly turn against us, we can come up with all sorts of reasons
34:24to explain it.
34:27Who knows what really happened?
34:34Well, that's it for me.
34:36You stand up?
34:38Is it okay?
34:39I just want to listen a little longer.
34:42Of course.
34:47I can't explain if you're listening.
34:55I can explain if you're listening.
34:58What, Dad?
35:01She wrote that song a week before she died.
35:04After she left her producers and went to the cops.
35:06Maybe she was trying to tell us what was going on.
35:10Locked up in silence.
35:12A living hell.
35:14Rehab?
35:15Or her producers.
35:17The loving hand that saved me.
35:21Her producers brain in?
35:23Wait.
35:25What is she saying there?
35:27It's darkness or his darkness?
35:29It's darkness weighs on me at night.
35:34I never asked or wanted to.
35:41You stepped across my threshold.
35:45How could you?
35:47You stepped across my threshold.
35:49How could you?
35:51Oh, God, Dad.
35:54Does that mean what I think it means?
35:59It means we have the wrong killer.
36:05The identity of our killer is in the swamp.
36:08It's right there.
36:09Listen.
36:09I know.
36:10I already heard it.
36:11Don't you think that if Hayley knew who was going to kill her, she would have tried to prevent the
36:14murder?
36:14It never made sense until now.
36:15Why would she up and disappear when everything seemed to be going so well?
36:18It's in the words.
36:19She even says it.
36:20I can explain if you're listening.
36:40Just like that, I'm free to go.
36:42Just like that.
36:44We need to sign a few release forms, if you don't mind.
36:46I can't believe it.
36:47Thank God.
36:48Thank you so much.
36:49Does this mean you found the real killer?
36:52We're about to make an arrest.
36:54That's great.
36:56You know what's even better is that it was Hayley herself who led us to her killer.
37:01How'd she do that?
37:02Her last song.
37:03The one that was playing the night she died.
37:05It's all over the web.
37:06You know the one.
37:15It's the lyrics that really get me.
37:17So many layers.
37:18It took me a few listens to get to the bottom of them.
37:20First time I heard it, I thought it was about going into rehab.
37:24It is.
37:24It's about coming from a dark place and having the courage to get on with your life.
37:30Different dark place.
37:31Listen, this is the part that gives it away.
37:33I never asked or wanted to.
37:44You stepped across my threshold.
37:48How could you...
37:50I don't understand, Tom.
37:52Somebody crossed over her threshold.
37:53She didn't want him to.
37:55Someone forced himself on her.
37:57You're getting all that from a song.
37:59Well, there's other places where it's more overt.
38:01But if you listen to the words, analyze them, it's all there.
38:04Father figure.
38:06Betrayal.
38:07Violation.
38:09It's truly awful.
38:12Why didn't she say anything?
38:15Ian, did she ever say anything to you?
38:17No, she didn't.
38:19You told your husband about arguing with Haley the night she was killed, didn't you?
38:23Yes.
38:24He was there when I got home from the studio.
38:26I told him the whole thing.
38:29I was so upset I took a sleeping pill to get some rest.
38:33That's when you borrowed your wife's cell phone.
38:35And her brand new lipstick.
38:37It's a good thing we'd subpoenaed your wife's phone records when I had this whole crazy lyric idea.
38:42Otherwise, we might have missed out on those texts you sent Haley.
38:44What texts?
38:48Text message from your phone at 1152.
38:51Ian told me the whole thing.
38:53We have to talk right away.
38:54Meet me at the studio.
38:55I never sent that text.
38:571154.
38:57I'm so sorry for what he did to you.
38:59I'm leaving him.
39:00Please come talk to me.
39:02And then finally, at 1156, a reply from Haley.
39:05See you there.
39:08What did you do?
39:09A loving hand that saved me held too tight.
39:12He pretended to be you.
39:15Because he was the one who forced himself on Haley.
39:19He was afraid she was going to talk.
39:21So he pretended.
39:23By the time Haley realized it was Ian waiting for her at the office, it was too late.
39:28Ian?
39:34Ian!
39:35I didn't force myself on Haley.
39:37She seduced me.
39:39From the time she moved in, the way she talked to me, the way she touched me.
39:44And now, after all we'd done for her, she was going to make up this lie to destroy our marriage
39:48and ruin our business?
39:51No.
39:52So you snapped her neck.
39:54The gun didn't do her any good, did it?
39:57You were too strong.
39:58Just like the night when you assaulted her.
40:02You killed her.
40:04And you almost got away with it.
40:06But Haley...
40:08wouldn't shut up, was she?
40:09That was pretty smart staging the crime scene like the stalker video, making it look like someone else did it.
40:15She loved you like a father.
40:18The way she looked up to you.
40:22It made me love you more.
40:26Look at me!
40:28I'd like a lawyer now.
40:36Brie turned on her husband the moment she found out what he had done to Haley.
40:40Needless to say, she's filed for divorce.
40:43It's no wonder Haley couldn't tell Brie why she ran away.
40:45You see, she didn't have anyone to talk to.
40:47So she did the one thing that she could.
40:49She wrote about it.
40:50It kind of reminds me of what I wrote when it comes to slaughter.
40:53It was at a time in my life when I was just, I was trying to work through the...
40:59Not important.
41:00So is he pleading out?
41:01Oh, he can try.
41:03Perlmutter ran his coat and found the same gunpowder residue that he found on Haley.
41:06He's going away for a long time.
41:08Good.
41:10Nice job.
41:12Both of you.
41:19So what are you going to tell Alexis?
41:22What do I always tell her?
41:24The truth.
41:34Haley, Maria, Blue, we love and miss you.
41:37This one's for you.
41:38Inside this life, under its spell
41:50I close my eyes and live to tell
42:01The hairs where death will never disappear
42:06Death, she grows near
42:14People change and instantly
42:19I'm not the same girl I used to be
42:25I can't erase all the memories
42:30But I can't...
