TVTranscript
00:00There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people.
00:03Psychopaths and mystery writers.
00:05I'm the kind that pays better.
00:06Who am I?
00:07I'm Rick Castle.
00:08Castle.
00:09Castle.
00:09I really am ruggedly handsome, aren't I?
00:12Every writer needs inspiration, and I've found mine.
00:14Detective Kate Beckett.
00:15Beckett.
00:16Beckett.
00:16Nicky Heath.
00:17The character he's basing on you.
00:18And thanks to my friendship with the mayor, I get to be on her case.
00:21I'd be happy to let you spank me.
00:23And together we catch killers.
00:24Make a pretty good team, you know, like Starsky and Hutch.
00:27Turner and Hooch.
00:28You do remind me a little of Hooch.
00:30Sophie?
00:31Sophie, are you in there?
00:33Sophie, the procession starts in 15 minutes.
00:36If that girl ruins your wedding.
00:38I'm not worried about the wedding, Mother.
00:40I'm worried about Sophie.
00:42Do I fight as much champagne as she did last night?
00:44I'd probably be late for February.
00:46Oh, hey, can you open this door for us?
00:48It's an emergency, please.
00:55Sophie?
00:56Sophie?
00:58The bed hasn't been slept in.
01:04She's not in the bathroom.
01:06Go and see if her dress is still here.
01:15Make sure it's nice and tight.
01:18Sir, what on earth are you two doing?
01:21Research.
01:22Dad has Nikki Heat duct taped to a chair in his next chapter and he doesn't know how to get
01:26her out of it.
01:27I thought what better way to figure it out than to get into the mind of my character.
01:30I don't know.
01:31I suppose you could just use your imagination.
01:34I want it to be authentic.
01:36Hands.
01:38Well, hurry taping up your father.
01:40We don't want to be late.
01:42Oh, God, I can't believe I just said that.
01:44Were you two off to?
01:45Graham's got a dress rehearsal.
01:46I thought I'd go watch.
01:47Watch me or watch the adorable delivery boy in the second act?
01:52Too tight?
01:54Perfect.
01:55And you're sure about your mouth?
01:56Like I said, authentic.
02:03Not if you're okay.
02:04Okay, we're off.
02:05And after, we might go shopping.
02:08So...
02:10You don't mind, right?
02:12Oh, come on, Dad.
02:14We both know you'd have no respect for me if I didn't.
02:16Have fun and good luck.
02:18Uh-huh.
02:19I don't know where she gets it from.
02:20Honestly, I don't.
02:22Bye.
02:23Adios.
02:46Victim is Sophie Ronson, 35.
02:48She's in from L.A. for the wedding.
02:49Is she a guest?
02:50Uh-uh.
02:51Bridesmaid.
02:54Bride came looking when Miss Ronson didn't show up for her hair and makeup.
02:58Got her stuffed in that armoire.
03:02What do you see?
03:03Preliminary causes asphyxiation.
03:05And from the way her windpipe is crushed, I'd say the killer choked her from behind.
03:09You've got contusions on her throat.
03:11One of her earrings is missing.
03:13It looks like it was yanked from her lobe.
03:16We searched the room.
03:17The earring's not here.
03:18Get CSU to print out a picture so that uniforms can start searching the hotel.
03:22Yeah.
03:23Time of death?
03:25Based on temperature and lividity, I'd say between 3 and 5 a.m. this morning.
03:30Mm-hmm.
03:31Let's talk to hotel security.
03:32I want to see surveillance tapes and a list of all registered hotel guests.
03:35Get records for her room phone and her cell.
03:37I'm on it.
03:38Uh-huh.
03:39Hotel says only one key card was issued to the victim.
03:41It was last used to enter the victim's room at 3.18 a.m.
03:43Well, that coincides with time of death.
03:45Where are the bride and groom?
03:46Bridal suite at the end of the hall.
03:48Uh, Greg and Kira.
03:50Okay, have uniforms assemble the wedding guests in the bar to be interviewed.
03:53Which castle?
03:54I don't know.
03:55Figured the death of a bridesmaid would be right up his alley.
03:57Heard wedding and probably got cold feet.
04:01Hmm.
04:02Hmm.
04:03Oh.
04:05Ah!
04:06Ah!
04:08Ah!
04:10Ah!
04:12Ah!
04:12Ah!
04:13Ah!
04:13Ah!
04:13Ah!
04:14Ah!
04:14Ah!
04:15Ah!
04:15Ah!
04:15Ah!
04:16Ah!
04:18Ah!
04:19Ah!
04:21When was the last time that you saw Sophie?
04:23At the rehearsal dinner last night.
04:26I don't even think I talked to her.
04:29She came all this way for us and I don't think I even said hello.
04:32It's not your fault, Kira.
04:34It was a crazy day.
04:36Did you talk to her after I went up to bed?
04:38No.
04:39You know how Uncle Teddy is.
04:40He wouldn't let me leave without doing tequila shots.
04:43I escaped up to my room around 1.
04:45I'm not sure if Sophie was still at the bar.
04:47The two of you weren't in the same room last night?
04:49No.
04:51It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding.
04:55Is there anything else you can tell me about Sophie?
04:57Was she in a relationship?
04:58Did she have any enemies?
05:00I don't know.
05:02She lived in L.A. and we were never super close.
05:05Sophie introduced us.
05:07She's the reason we're together.
05:09So when we were planning the wedding, we thought she should be there.
05:12But the engagement party was the first time we'd seen her in a couple of years.
05:16Now she's dead.
05:19Who would do something like this?
05:21That's what we're here to find out.
05:23Here you go.
05:24Thanks, Joe.
05:25That's great.
05:27Hotel security?
05:28Yeah.
05:29They do background checks on all their employees.
05:31Seemed pretty sure there wasn't a killer among them, but he gave me the list.
05:34He's also pulling the surveillance tapes.
05:36Good news is the elevators are all wired.
05:37Bad news is the stairwells and hallways aren't.
05:41Oh, look who it is.
05:43You're about to send out a search party.
05:44Where you been?
05:45I got a little tied up with work.
05:47Which way did the crime scene?
05:48Sixth floor.
05:50Hey, bro.
05:52Is that duct tape on your pants?
05:57Yes.
05:58Yes, it is.
06:02So, bridesmaid, huh?
06:03What happened?
06:05You get caught dead in that dress?
06:07Actually, not that bad.
06:08A subtle mauve chiffon.
06:10Dude, really?
06:11Mauve?
06:12What, I have sisters.
06:13You should have seen their dresses.
06:14Hideous.
06:15Ah, bridesmaid dresses are supposed to be hideous.
06:17Really?
06:18Why?
06:18So that the bride looks more beautiful in comparison.
06:20Ah, see?
06:21Not a woman alive who doesn't think about her wedding day.
06:24Not even Kate Beckett.
06:25Tell me you never tore a picture of a wedding gown out of a magazine.
06:28I've never torn a picture of a wedding gown out of a magazine.
06:33You're lying.
06:35She's lying.
06:44So who's the unlucky bride?
06:46Uh, her name is...
06:49Kira?
06:55Rick?
06:59Rick Castle.
07:01You do know each other?
07:02That would be an understatement.
07:12I read somewhere that you were working with the police, but I never would have expected to...
07:18How long has it been?
07:19Too long.
07:20You look exactly the same.
07:23And you've improved.
07:25You always did know how to turn a phrase.
07:29This is...
07:31so surreal.
07:33It's my wedding day, and you...
07:36show up.
07:40Castellini's got something for us.
07:41I'll catch up.
07:45Hmm.
07:46Okay.
07:48What'd you find?
07:50Once I turned her over,
07:52I saw these abrasions across her upper back.
07:55They were definitely made before she died.
07:57Probably during the struggle.
07:58Any idea what made them?
08:00No, but there's an odd shape to the wounds.
08:02I'll have a better idea once I get her back to the lab.
08:04Okay.
08:05So how's everything going in the bridal suite?
08:07Not the day they had planned.
08:09Yeah, or the surprise guest.
08:11Apparently, Castell has a history with the bride.
08:13Ancient, modern, or sexual?
08:16Seems like all of the above.
08:17You're okay with that?
08:19Yeah.
08:20Why wouldn't I be?
08:22Just keep me posted on the labs.
08:24Mm-hmm.
08:26So, what happened to the girl who said that marriage was a Jurassic institution?
08:31She grew up.
08:32Hmm.
08:33Does that mean the groom is a grown-up, too?
08:34All work and no play?
08:36No.
08:37He plays just enough.
08:38He's a lucky man.
08:41Except today.
08:43All the things you worry about going wrong at your wedding.
08:47Sorry.
08:49Hey, honey.
08:51Greg.
08:52This is Rick Castle.
08:54Rick Castle.
08:55Your ex.
08:57Rick's...
08:58Oh, yes.
08:59No.
09:00Nice to meet you.
09:01Rick's working with the police now.
09:03Do they think the murder's still in the hotel?
09:06Well, that depends on whether the attack was random or someone she knew.
09:09So you think one of the guests could have killed her?
09:11We have to consider every possibility.
09:13You'll have to excuse us.
09:15We have people arriving downstairs.
09:17Of course.
09:22Keira Blaine.
09:26Wow.
09:29I take it she was someone very special.
09:32She's the one that got away.
09:34Could you please tell me your name and relationship to the bride and groom?
09:37Sheila Blaine.
09:38Mother of the bride.
09:39Keith Murphy.
09:40I'm the brother of the groom.
09:42Lori Hill.
09:42Maid of honor.
09:43Friend of the bride.
09:44Ted Murphy.
09:45Broom's uncle.
09:46Ruby Osiris Schwartzman.
09:47I was once married to Keira's father's brother's uncle, twice removed, and boy, was that a mistake.
09:52Is the bar open yet?
09:53Do you have any idea who might have killed her?
09:55Of course not.
09:56No.
09:57No.
09:58No.
09:58I heard that Sophie almost didn't come to the wedding.
10:00She called Keira up and tried to back out of being a bridesmaid.
10:03But then she called and said she changed her mind.
10:05I warned Keira.
10:07That girl was too unreliable to be put in a wedding party.
10:10But did she listen to me?
10:11No.
10:11Thank you very much.
10:12Next.
10:13Is everyone right?
10:14I think so.
10:15Wait.
10:16There's a groomsman that's not checked off.
10:19Mike Weitz?
10:20Hmm.
10:21I didn't talk to him.
10:23You?
10:23No.
10:26Mr. Murphy.
10:27Have you seen Mike Weitz?
10:29No, actually.
10:31Has anybody seen Mike?
10:32Oh, God.
10:32He was with Sophie at the rehearsal dinner.
10:34She's right.
10:35I saw them together in the bar after.
10:37You don't think something happened to him, too, do you?
10:40None of the guests have seen Mike since last night.
10:42We checked his room.
10:43The bed's made.
10:44His tux is still hanging in the closet.
10:45And his key card shows his last entry at 2 a.m.
10:482 a.m.?
10:49All right.
10:50Any signs of foul play?
10:51No, but his toothbrush and bags are still there.
10:53Have hotel security start searching the premises.
10:55You think we're going to find another body?
10:57More likely, Mike's our killer.
10:58And he ran off after strangling Sophie.
11:00So put an APB out.
11:01Get Mike's photos to all airports and train stations.
11:04I'll check back with a wedding guest to see if I can get a clear picture of Mike and Sophie's
11:07interactions.
11:08Okay.
11:08Okay, thank you.
11:11Or we could watch last night's festivities for ourselves on these handy-dandy digital video cameras.
11:20Here we are, running for our lives, right?
11:23That's Mike giving a speech.
11:25And that's Sophie looking away from us.
11:30And that's when Keith decides he's going to slow down a little bit.
11:35So he's got his fire extinguisher.
11:36I think they called her in a speech.
11:38Right?
11:39Rude.
11:42Wonder who she's talking to.
11:48Pause that.
11:50Does anyone else find it odd that Sophie would leave in the middle of Mike's speech?
11:53Maybe whoever called wanted to meet.
11:56Yeah, but who?
11:57Everyone at the rehearsal dinner is sitting in that room.
11:59According to the time code, that call came in at about 741.
12:02Sophie's cell phone history shows the call coming from hotel lobby.
12:10Check with the hotel.
12:12See if they have any security cameras covering the phones.
12:17It's perfect.
12:19Thanks.
12:23Wait a minute.
12:25I know this guy.
12:26Uh, Gamble.
12:27Boyd Gamble.
12:29So he's a dealer?
12:30Mostly weed and coke back in the day.
12:32Did a couple years for assaulting another drug dealer who was trying to muscle in on his turf.
12:36Beat him up real bad, too.
12:37Sounds like he's got a bad temper.
12:39Maybe he's graduated to murder.
12:41Great.
12:41Go pick him up.
12:44Was that about Mike?
12:46Uh, no.
12:46Just following up on a lead.
12:58Your dress is lovely, by the way.
13:00Oh, thank you so much.
13:02It's Kate, right?
13:04Yeah.
13:04I feel like I know you a little.
13:06From Nikki Heed, the dedication.
13:08Oh.
13:08I still read all of Rick's books.
13:11Yeah, well, most of that book is just a result of Castle's overactive imagination.
13:17It's funny that you call him that.
13:20Castle.
13:21When I know him, he was just Rick.
13:24Brush off his first bestseller.
13:29Well, overactive imagination or not, I know he only dedicates his books to people he really cares for.
13:41Murder?
13:41What are you, nuts?
13:43We know you met Sophie at the hotel, boy.
13:45A couple hours later, she turns up dead.
13:47You want to tell us how that happened?
13:49She met me in the park.
13:51We had a mutual acquaintance who recommended my services.
13:53She knew I could get her what she needed.
13:55Why didn't you just sell her the drugs and be done with it?
13:57Why did you show up at the hotel?
13:59Because she needed a specialty item.
14:01I didn't have any on me, so I told her I'd call her when I did.
14:04What specialty item?
14:08Flunitrazopam.
14:10Roofies.
14:11Why would a bridesmaid need roofies?
14:14You want to take advantage of a guy knocking him unconscious?
14:16It kind of defeats the purpose.
14:17The best way?
14:18Just ask.
14:20I'll take care of it for you.
14:22Hello, Sheila.
14:24Richard.
14:26Figures you'd be at the heart of this mess.
14:28Detective Beckett.
14:29This is Sheila Blaine, mother of the pride.
14:32So, I guess I didn't end up homeless or teaching at a third-rate college in New Hampshire after all.
14:37There's still time.
14:38I've missed our special talks.
14:41Sheila didn't approve of struggling artists.
14:44You must like Greg, though.
14:45He's from money, right?
14:46It was never about the money, Richard.
14:48It was about character.
14:49And you would know that if you had any.
14:55Wow.
14:57Just imagine, if things had worked out, you'd be spending Thanksgivings with her.
15:02Beckett.
15:04Okay, great.
15:06They think they found Mike.
15:11Mr. Weiss?
15:16Mike?
15:18Where's that bitch Sophie?
15:19I'll kill her.
15:21Timing very poor.
15:23What happened?
15:24That little freak drugged me.
15:29All right, Mike.
15:30Walk me through what happened with you and Sophie last night.
15:34She came on to me is what happened.
15:36Acted all flirty.
15:38Brought me a drink.
15:39A drink spiked with Roofie's.
15:40Yeah, nuts, right?
15:41I mean, who Roofie's a guy?
15:43All the girl has to do is ask.
15:45Hmm.
15:46Did the two of you have history?
15:48No.
15:48I mean, I saw her last year at Greg and Kira's engagement party.
15:53She was definitely the kind of girl you noticed.
15:55But, uh, no, I don't think we so much as even talk.
15:58Any idea why she'd want to drug you?
16:00No clue.
16:01Did she seem angry, nervous, or scared?
16:04No.
16:05She seemed determined.
16:08Guess I should have known it was too good to be true, huh?
16:11If you can think of anything else, let us know.
16:13Okay.
16:19What was Sophie up to last night?
16:21She went out of her way to get those drugs.
16:23She definitely had a plan.
16:25To Roofie Mike and lock him in a closet?
16:27What kind of a bizarre plan is that?
16:29Maybe.
16:33No, I got nothing.
16:34Oh, dude, catering, grab it.
16:35Oh, I'm so sorry.
16:41What are you guys doing?
16:42I haven't eaten all day.
16:44These potato pancakes are incredible.
16:46You know what else is incredible?
16:48How much information we're going to find
16:50once we start investigating our victim's life?
16:53I want to know everything about Sophie Ronson
16:56from the moment that her plane landed in New York
16:58to the moment she was found dead.
16:59Who she called, what she did, and where she ate.
17:04This is Detective Kate Beckett.
17:06I need a warrant on financials for a Sophie Ronson.
17:09Yeah.
17:10Hey, Sheriff.
17:10Yeah, I need you to get a check.
17:11All the taxes, your favor.
17:13In about an hour.
17:14So...
17:31Couldn't let it go to waste.
17:34How did you find me?
17:35I just figured, what was the one place
17:37where no one would think to look for you?
17:39At a wedding?
17:40At your wedding.
17:41Hmm.
17:43Where's...
17:44Greg?
17:45Right.
17:45He's taking care of things.
17:47He's good at that.
17:50So, if you don't get married,
17:52is it just a regular old cake?
17:56It's still a wedding cake.
17:57It's tiered, got flowers.
17:59It's in a ballroom.
18:03If things had gone as planned today,
18:06I would be twirling around on the dance floor
18:08with my husband right about now.
18:12Do you remember the last time we danced?
18:16Under the clock at Grand Central Station.
18:19You were on your way to JFK
18:20to catch a flight to London?
18:21You were supposed to follow me.
18:23You said you needed space.
18:27I didn't mean forever.
18:36So, you've done all of this before.
18:39Twice.
18:40And each time, did you think that she was the one?
18:44It seemed like the right thing to do at the time.
18:48But it wasn't, was it?
18:53Some girls would think what happened today is a sign.
18:56Of their murder.
18:59And you.
19:03Castle?
19:07We're on our way.
19:08I thought you might need a ride.
19:11I should go upstairs.
19:12They'll be looking for me.
19:29Cake?
19:31Cake?
19:32No, thank you.
19:42We met in college.
19:44We were together nearly three years.
19:47I didn't ask.
19:48Yes, you were not asking very loudly.
19:52She's different from your ex-wives.
19:56What do you mean?
19:58She's real.
20:00I didn't think you went for real.
20:06Tough breakup?
20:09It was a long time ago.
20:17Hey.
20:18Hey.
20:18You called?
20:19Yes.
20:20I found traces of metal in the abrasions on Sophie's back.
20:24What kind of metal?
20:24I have no idea.
20:26But I sent a sample over to the FBI lab to see if they can narrow down the chemical signature.
20:30We should have the results tomorrow.
20:31If I find the object that made the wounds, you'll be able to match it?
20:34Absolutely.
20:35Great.
20:36Anything else?
20:37You tell me.
20:39What?
20:40Don't what me.
20:42Castle's lost love?
20:43Yeah, what about it?
20:45Girl, I'm gonna smack you.
20:46You work side by side every day.
20:49He writes a sex scene in his book about you that had me reaching for ice water.
20:53Now little Miss Bride shows up.
20:55Don't tell me you're not the least bit jealous.
20:56Oh, please.
20:57You've been inhaling too many autopsy fluids.
21:00Honey, just because you can't see what's going on doesn't mean everyone else doesn't see what's going on.
21:05Shut up.
21:07Mm-hmm.
21:08I see it.
21:10You may not, but I do.
21:13There's a lot of detail in this love scene.
21:15Aren't you guys supposed to be running background checks?
21:17We are.
21:18On the bride.
21:19All day yesterday, I kept feeling like I'd heard the name Kira Blaine before, and then it hits me.
21:24The dedication of Castle's second book arose forever after.
21:28For Kira Blaine, you make the stars shine.
21:34When I'm not here, do you guys braid each other's hair and debate who's the coolest Jonas brother?
21:37No.
21:38But it's totally Nick.
21:39Absolutely, Nick.
21:40Yeah.
21:40Kevin's a talent.
21:41Yeah, Nick's a cute one.
21:42Joe.
21:50The key card.
21:52Mike's key card!
21:53Hotel records indicate that Mike's key card last accesses hotel room at 2 a.m. yesterday morning.
21:58Well, he was busy, passed out, in a supply closet with a belly full of roofies.
22:02So who swiped into Mike's room?
22:06Mike said his key card was missing when he woke up.
22:09Well, Sophie must have stolen it, but what?
22:16Didn't uniforms already search this room when he went missing?
22:18Yeah.
22:18Mike said he didn't notice anything out of place.
22:20So, what could be so important in this room that it'd be worth the trouble of drugging a man?
22:30Maybe it wasn't this room she was trying to get into.
22:32The only reason to unlock the door adjacent to yours is if...
22:39You knew who your neighbor was.
22:44Maybe Sophie only wanted to get into Mike's room so she could get into this one.
22:48So, whose room is this?
22:57Castle.
23:08Sophie's missing earring.
23:11This could be where she was killed.
23:17Hey, what are you doing in my room?
23:28This is crazy.
23:29I did not kill Sophie Ronson.
23:31Then how did her earring end up in your room?
23:35You've a chance to come clean here, Greg.
23:37If I were you, I would take it.
23:40I got back to the room around 1.
23:43I was pretty drunk.
23:44Next thing I know, it was 2 in the morning and somebody was in bed with me and they had
23:48their hands down my pants.
23:50I thought it was Kira.
23:51I figured she changed her mind about spending the night apart.
23:55But it wasn't.
23:56It was Sophie.
23:57And you figured, what the hell, love the one you're with?
23:59No.
23:59Oh, come on, Greg.
24:01Sophie's a beautiful girl and you were hours away from strapping on the ball and chain for life.
24:05No.
24:06I love Kira.
24:07I would never cheat on her.
24:08Especially with Sophie.
24:10Why especially with Sophie?
24:14Had you slept with her before?
24:18Why is he here?
24:19He's a writer, not a cop.
24:21Answer the question, Greg.
24:22Did you ever sleep with Sophie?
24:25Once or twice.
24:27But it was before Kira and I even met and we both knew that it was a mistake.
24:30A mistake that Sophie tried to repeat.
24:32Or maybe she succeeded.
24:33No.
24:34When I saw her, I freaked.
24:36I shoved her away.
24:37She fell on the floor.
24:38That must have been when her earring came off.
24:41Before I could do anything else, she ran out the door.
24:44I mean, it all happened so fast.
24:46It didn't even seem like it was real.
24:48Why didn't you say anything when you found out that Sophie was murdered?
24:52Because I knew how it would sound.
24:54Pretty much like it sounds right now.
24:56Like a lie.
24:57Okay, that's it.
24:58I want him gone.
24:59He's clearly got it out for me because he wants to get back in my fiance's pants.
25:03I'm not the murder suspect here.
25:05I am done answering questions until he is gone.
25:07You don't make demands here, Greg.
25:08Castle.
25:10Go and see if Ryan and Esposito have come back with the forensics from Greg's hotel room.
25:24Now walk me through what happened again.
25:32Hey, don't you worry about this, Greg.
25:33I've got to get your back, though.
25:34Thanks, Uncle Teddy.
25:40Can't believe you're letting him just walk out of here.
25:42Yeah, well, I don't have enough evidence to convict him.
25:45Well, don't tell me you believe that story.
25:47It's like a porn movie gone wrong.
25:49Exactly.
25:49And if you were going to make up a story, would you make up something like that?
25:52So, the guy is a suit, not a storyteller.
25:54It doesn't make him any less guilty.
25:56Look, don't get me wrong.
25:57He's still our best suspect.
25:58I'm just not as ready to convict him of murder as you seem to be.
26:01Is that why you kicked me out of the interrogation?
26:04It was clear that I was going to get more out of Greg alone.
26:05You're just too close to this case to see that.
26:08You mean I'm too close to her?
26:10Yes.
26:11And do you know how I know that?
26:12If you weren't, you'd be all over the possibility that Kira could have killed Sophie.
26:17That's impossible.
26:18See, that's not what Richard Castle would say.
26:21He would paint a picture about the night before the wedding.
26:25About how Kira couldn't fall asleep.
26:27And so she went down to see Greg, only to find Sophie emerging from his room.
26:31And the thought that her fiancé could cheat on her the night before their wedding was too much.
26:36And so she follows Sophie to her room and confronts her.
26:39And when things get violent, Sophie ends up dead.
26:45You have to stay away from her castle until this case is closed.
26:54You have to stay away from her castle until this case is closed.
27:15Richard Castle, what the hell are you doing?
27:18Nothing.
27:19She's getting married to another man.
27:22It's just a picture.
27:23No, it's a loaded gun.
27:27Castle.
27:28Is everybody's wedding like this?
27:30Kira.
27:31So, my bridesmaid's dead, my fiancé might be a murderer, and then there's you.
27:37You've just been through a bad shock, that's all.
27:40Will you come meet me somewhere?
27:42I don't think that'd be a good idea.
27:43Please.
27:45I just need to get out of the hotel for a little while.
27:48If I have to listen to my mother judge me anymore, I might start taking hostages.
27:51I understand completely.
27:56How about the roof?
27:57Our secret roof.
28:00That's perfect.
28:05Well, brother, I hope you know what you're doing, kiddo.
28:11Yeah.
28:14Me too.
28:26How did you know the door would still be unlocked after all these years?
28:30Some things never change.
28:34We spent so much time up here that summer.
28:37You would come over after I got out of class, bag of food in one hand, and that notebook in
28:45the other.
28:45And that I would write, and you would pretend to study?
28:48I wasn't pretending.
28:50Oh?
28:51Oh.
28:52Okay.
28:53Well, I just had a hard time keeping my hands off of you.
29:00Does Greg know you're here?
29:02He told me about Sophie in his room.
29:06About him and Sophie before.
29:13He said he was sorry.
29:14He didn't tell me.
29:18Do you believe him?
29:24I just don't want to see you get hurt.
29:29Too late.
29:42I missed you, Rick.
29:45And I didn't realize how much until I saw you yesterday.
29:52I missed you, too.
29:55I missed you.
30:20What did I tell you?
30:23What?
30:24Did I or did I not?
30:26Make myself clear.
30:29Yes?
30:30Do you know how much it annoys me knowing what you're doing?
30:33Touching things that shouldn't be touched?
30:35Yanking on things that shouldn't be yanked?
30:37No, no.
30:38Nobody yanked on anything.
30:39Billy, then how do you explain this?
30:44Huh?
30:45Oh, don't give me that look.
30:46I've told you a million times not to mess with my chair.
30:51Right.
30:51No.
30:52I'm sorry.
30:54And it won't happen again.
31:08I saw her last night.
31:15I know.
31:17What?
31:19I know.
31:34What?
31:35It's not you, Kira.
31:37Why would you have Kira under surveillance?
31:38She's a murder suspect.
31:40Oh, no, no.
31:41See, Sophie's murder was an isolated crime of passion.
31:44Watching Kira after the fact would be a waste of police resources, which we both know you would
31:49not do.
31:50I had to make sure that you didn't do anything stupid, which you did.
31:54We just kissed.
31:55That's all that happened.
31:56That's all that happened for now.
31:59Hey, the finance.
32:02Everything okay?
32:03Yeah.
32:03No.
32:05Okay.
32:07Financers came in on our groom.
32:08No red flags.
32:09He actually lives pretty modest for someone with a trust fund.
32:11Anything back from the lab?
32:12Nothing useful.
32:14Greg's hair and fiber samples came back negative.
32:16Other than the earring, there's no physical evidence tying him to the murder.
32:19So I retraced Sophie's steps leading up to the wedding.
32:21She checked into the Beaumont on Friday, but she flew into the city on Thursday morning.
32:26What was she doing all day Thursday?
32:28I don't know.
32:29I didn't even see her until the rehearsal dinner and we didn't even talk.
32:33I'm afraid I can't help you.
32:34I barely knew the girl.
32:36No.
32:37The first time I saw Sophie was at the wedding breakfast on Friday morning.
32:40I have no idea what Sophie was doing, but I'm sure it was nothing good.
32:46Did you know that she called me after the engagement party to ask me to pay for her flight?
32:50And did you?
32:51Of course not.
32:53I told her.
32:54People have to make their own way.
32:56So you have no idea what Sophie did on Thursday?
32:58No.
32:59But guess what she was doing on Friday when I first saw her?
33:03What's that?
33:04Shopping at the hotel store.
33:07Here she's telling everybody how broke she is and somehow, oh, suddenly she has money to burn.
33:14Between the shoes, the dress, the hotel, and the flight, Sophie must have dropped three grand on this weekend.
33:19Easy.
33:20I don't know how.
33:21Her bank balance is $18 and her credit cards are maxed out.
33:25How much did the drug dealer say she paid for the roofies?
33:27200 bucks.
33:28Cash.
33:29The problem is, Sophie withdrew her last hundred dollars to fly to New York.
33:32As far as I can tell, she didn't have the 200 bucks to give.
33:35So who paid for the drugs?
33:36Forget the drugs.
33:37I've been a bridesmaid six times.
33:38How did she pay for the dress?
33:42Okay.
33:44So not only did Sophie pay for her flight in cash, but she also made her last three rent payments
33:49in cash as well.
33:50Any idea where it all came from?
33:52Not yet.
33:55So, six times a bridesmaid, huh?
33:58You wouldn't happen to have any pictures, would you?
34:00Who feels like watching the little bridal shop surveillance video?
34:03Is it good?
34:04Will I be shocked?
34:05Oh, you definitely did not see this one coming.
34:09Okay, there's Sophie.
34:16Greg's Uncle Teddy.
34:17He said he barely knew her.
34:18Oh, he definitely knew her.
34:20According to the bridal shop owner, when Teddy was paying for the dress, Sophie told him she wasn't sure if
34:23she could go through with it.
34:24But Teddy said after all he'd done for her, she couldn't back out now.
34:27Now, I've heard of brides getting cold feet.
34:29But bridesmaids?
34:31Did he pay for the dress in cash?
34:32Yeah.
34:33How'd you know?
34:33All that cash means that Uncle Sugar Daddy didn't want a paper trail tying him to whatever Sophie was doing
34:38for him.
34:38Yeah, but what could it be?
34:39And why was it so important for Sophie to go to Greg's wedding?
34:47This is ridiculous.
34:49You don't have enough to build a case against me so you go after someone else in my family?
34:53We're trying to get to the truth.
34:54By hauling in my uncle?
34:56For God's sakes, he barely knew Sophie.
34:58And yet he paid for her $700 dress and her plane ticket out here.
35:02He bought her dress?
35:03If he barely knew her, why would he do that?
35:06We heard through the grapevine that Sophie might have some trouble making the money to come out here to the
35:10wedding.
35:11Maybe Teddy was trying to help her out.
35:13For us.
35:13That doesn't explain the $1,500 that he paid her the last three months.
35:17He was paying her?
35:18Mm-hmm.
35:19For what?
35:19Some kind of deal they got going on.
35:21We think it could have something to do with the way she was behaving the night before your wedding.
35:24Yeah, sure.
35:25He paid Sophie to roofie a groomsman and then to climb into bed with me.
35:29Look, we know how this sounds.
35:30Yeah, it sounds like something out of one of Rick's little books.
35:33Little books?
35:34What would even be the point of that except to mess up the wedding?
35:37Why the hell would Teddy want that?
35:38That's what we're trying to find out.
35:39Oh my God, for God's sakes.
35:41Next you're going to tell me that he's in love with Kira too.
35:43What is that supposed to mean?
35:44You guys?
35:45You know damn well what it's supposed to mean.
35:47No, Greg, I don't.
35:48If you've got something to say to me, why don't you just say it?
35:50I love Kira, Rick.
35:53She means the world to me.
35:54Maybe you can't see it.
35:56Maybe you don't care.
35:57But Teddy has been nothing but supportive of us the whole way.
36:02He filed our wedding license.
36:03He helped us write our prenup.
36:05He always looks after...
36:09What?
36:10I got to make a call.
36:21Do you know how long I've been sitting in here?
36:24I'm sorry for the wait.
36:25I hadn't had anything to eat.
36:26We couldn't decide on a restaurant.
36:28What do you think this is, funny?
36:30Do you recognize these files, Mr. Murphy?
36:33You went to my office?
36:34We got a warrant first, don't worry.
36:36Look, a layman like you couldn't possibly understand the financial and the legal complications of a state like Greg's.
36:43I think he just called you stupid.
36:46Greg's grandparents established a trust fund that he was going to receive on his wedding day and named you executor.
36:53How am I doing so far?
36:55And for the past five years, you've been stealing from that fund to fuel your expensive lifestyle.
36:59A house in the Hamptons?
37:01A Ferrari?
37:02A pair of top-of-the-line breast implants I'm assuming was over you, though.
37:06My personal life is none of your business.
37:08It is when it leads to a murder.
37:11You lost a ton of money in the market.
37:13Everybody did.
37:14But not everybody had access to Greg's trust fund.
37:17When you ran out of your own money, you started using his.
37:20Burned through almost the entire two million, and then when he called you to tell you he was getting engaged,
37:24you panicked because you didn't have enough equity to put it back.
37:26You realized the only way to avoid detection was to put a stop to the wedding, but how?
37:30No. Greg was clearly in love with Kira. Kira was in love with him.
37:34And then you met Sophie at the engagement party, and you realized that she was the perfect instrument to sabotage
37:39Greg's wedding because she was so desperate for money.
37:41That's ridiculous.
37:42The fact that she still carried a torch for Greg made it that much easier to convince her to sneak
37:47into Greg's room in the middle of the night.
37:50With this. Sophie's video camera.
37:54We found this in your luggage in the hotel.
37:56It still has Sophie's fingerprints all over it.
37:59Only she didn't quite get the footage you were hoping for, did she?
38:02When Greg refused Sophie's advances, she had a change of heart.
38:06She ran back to her room where you were there waiting for her.
38:09What happened, Mr. Murphy?
38:10Did she threaten to expose you to tell everybody what you asked her to do?
38:14You couldn't let that happen.
38:15And then you realized there was another way to sabotage Greg's wedding.
38:19Kill a bridesmaid.
38:21Wow. What a story.
38:23And very well told, I might have.
38:25But that's all it is.
38:26A story.
38:28Really?
38:30Do you remember how I told you that we went through your luggage?
38:33We found this tie tack.
38:37Platinum, right?
38:39Did you know that we found trace evidence of platinum in the wounds in Sophie's back?
38:44You probably didn't even realize you were making them when you were choking her from behind.
38:49Which is why it never occurred to you to get rid of the one piece of physical evidence that tied
38:53you to the crime.
38:54We're sorry we kept you waiting.
38:59Sophie, what are you doing?
39:00Come on, Greg.
39:01You and me one last time, we were good together.
39:04No, stop it.
39:05Come on, it'll be fun.
39:06No, what's the matter with you?
39:08I just thought...
39:08I'm getting married tomorrow, okay?
39:10To the woman that I love.
39:14Teddy's plan would have worked, too.
39:17If it weren't for the one thing he didn't count on.
39:20Greg.
39:23He's a good man, Kira.
39:26He's an honorable man.
39:30And he loves you.
39:33I know.
39:36And I love him, too.
39:41But that does not mean that I'm not going to think about you from time to time.
39:44Well, you better.
39:50Of all the murders in all the cities at all the weddings, then you walk into mine.
39:58I'm glad I did.
40:07Thank you, Rick.
40:23He's all yours.
40:41If any person can show just cause as to why these two may not be joined together, let them speak
40:47now or forever hold their peace.
40:55By the power vested in me, by the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
41:01You may kiss the bride.
41:02One step forward, but two steps are better time, go slower, but in my heart beats.
41:11Because there's nothing that's sure to be, and bigger than this.
41:16I want to live life.
41:18There's something to show.
41:20I want to look like.
41:22I figured it out.
41:24I want to love, love, love, love, love.
41:28I want to love.
