1
00:00:00,458 --> 00:00:01,437
There are two kinds of folks
2
00:00:01,464 --> 00:00:03,064
who sit around thinking
about how to kill people:
3
00:00:03,398 --> 00:00:05,124
psychopaths
and mystery writers.
4
00:00:05,362 --> 00:00:06,384
I'm the kind that pays better.
5
00:00:06,785 --> 00:00:07,385
Who am I?
6
00:00:07,474 --> 00:00:08,613
I'm Rick Castle.
7
00:00:08,614 --> 00:00:09,014
Castle.
8
00:00:09,048 --> 00:00:09,708
Castle.
9
00:00:09,709 --> 00:00:11,709
I really am ruggedly handsome,
aren't I?
10
00:00:11,855 --> 00:00:14,045
Every writer needs inspiration.
And I found mine.
11
00:00:14,255 --> 00:00:15,074
Detective Kate Beckett.
12
00:00:15,109 --> 00:00:16,129
- Beckett.
- Beckett.
13
00:00:16,164 --> 00:00:18,070
- Nikki Heat?
- The character he's basing on you.
14
00:00:18,116 --> 00:00:19,602
And thanks to my friendship
with the mayor,
15
00:00:19,603 --> 00:00:20,603
I get to be on her case.
16
00:00:20,637 --> 00:00:22,580
I would be happy
to let you spank me.
17
00:00:22,615 --> 00:00:23,491
And together, we catch killers
18
00:00:24,439 --> 00:00:25,427
We make a pretty
good team, you know?
19
00:00:25,428 --> 00:00:26,428
Like Starsky and Hutch.
20
00:00:26,562 --> 00:00:27,256
Turner and Hooch.
21
00:00:27,619 --> 00:00:29,219
You do remind me
a little of Hooch.
22
00:00:34,243 --> 00:00:38,138
♪ 7 stars in the sky,

23
00:00:38,173 --> 00:00:40,204
Yeah, Paula,
that sounds perfect.
24
00:00:40,238 --> 00:00:41,736
Yeah, close the deal.
25
00:00:41,771 --> 00:00:43,501
Thank you. And to you.
26
00:00:43,535 --> 00:00:45,866
Hey.
Hey.
27
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:48,730
Ask me why I'm here.
You know, I ask myself
that question every day.
28
00:00:48,765 --> 00:00:50,630
That was Paula, my agent,
with big news
29
00:00:50,665 --> 00:00:52,862
about my book "Heat Wave."
mm-hmm.
30
00:00:52,897 --> 00:00:55,694
Wanna guess?
Guessing would imply caring.
31
00:00:55,729 --> 00:00:57,195
I'll give you a hint.
32
00:00:57,228 --> 00:00:59,128
The headlines in the trades
might read,
33
00:00:59,162 --> 00:01:04,526
"Castle best seller
to 'heat' up big screen."
34
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,557
Your book is being made
into a movie?
35
00:01:06,591 --> 00:01:08,557
And you are about to be
immortalized
36
00:01:08,591 --> 00:01:10,457
on the silver screen.
37
00:01:10,492 --> 00:01:14,492
Actually, Nikki Heat is going
to be immortalized, not me.
Yes, well, technically,
38
00:01:14,527 --> 00:01:17,095
but it's been widely publicized
that you are the inspiration.
39
00:01:17,129 --> 00:01:19,592
So who would you like
to play you in the movie?
whoa. Are you kidding?
40
00:01:19,626 --> 00:01:21,357
They're really making
a Nikki Heat movie?
41
00:01:21,391 --> 00:01:23,625
Dude, did I call it or what?
Ah, congrats, bro.
42
00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:25,731
Thank you!
What do you think,
43
00:01:25,765 --> 00:01:28,198
can we get James McAvoy
for Detective Raley?
44
00:01:28,232 --> 00:01:30,198
I'm gonna go
with Javier Bardem.
Beckett.
45
00:01:30,233 --> 00:01:32,696
In your casting dreams.
Yes, I'd like to report a murder.
46
00:01:33,943 --> 00:01:35,609
Do you have an address?
47
00:01:35,794 --> 00:01:37,994
Where's the fun in that?
48
00:01:38,028 --> 00:01:40,061
Okay.
49
00:01:41,070 --> 00:01:42,735
Who is this?
50
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:44,102
Oh, a fan.
51
00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:47,436
Tell me more about this murder.
Tracing.
52
00:01:47,470 --> 00:01:48,870
Well, I did it.
53
00:01:48,904 --> 00:01:50,904
And that's all
you need to know.
54
00:01:50,938 --> 00:01:52,371
Got it.
55
00:01:52,405 --> 00:01:54,705
Hello?
42nd and Lex.
56
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:57,139
That's Grand Central Station.
Yeah, let's go.
57
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,980
According to tech,
58
00:02:00,014 --> 00:02:02,747
The phone call came from
the second booth on the end.
59
00:02:29,644 --> 00:02:31,010
Here's his wallet.
60
00:02:32,812 --> 00:02:33,612
Thank you.
61
00:02:33,747 --> 00:02:34,646
You got it.
62
00:02:34,793 --> 00:02:37,359
His name's Alex Peterman,
lives in Dobbs Ferry.
63
00:02:37,393 --> 00:02:39,460
So it wasn't a robbery.
64
00:02:39,494 --> 00:02:41,028
He's a personal injury attorney.
65
00:02:41,062 --> 00:02:42,428
Taking the late train home.
66
00:02:42,463 --> 00:02:43,963
Anything
other than G.S.W.S?
67
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:47,365
Nope, just the 5 shots
to the chest from a .45.
68
00:02:47,399 --> 00:02:49,933
A .45 makes a pretty loud
snap, crackle and pop.
69
00:02:49,968 --> 00:02:52,535
I find it hard to believe no one
heard it on the main concourse.
70
00:02:52,945 --> 00:02:54,245
He must have used
a suppressor
71
00:02:54,270 --> 00:02:56,071
and waited for the train
to pass by.
72
00:02:56,081 --> 00:02:57,781
And let's face it--
New Yorkers are famous
73
00:02:57,805 --> 00:03:00,272
for their "hear no evil,
see no evil" attitude.
74
00:03:00,306 --> 00:03:01,539
I'll give you a call
with an update
75
00:03:01,540 --> 00:03:03,741
once I get him back to the lab.
Thank you.
76
00:03:03,775 --> 00:03:06,943
Quick--who do you want to play
you in the Nikki Heat movie?
Halle Berry.
77
00:03:06,977 --> 00:03:09,843
See? Some people
are just great at that game.
78
00:03:09,877 --> 00:03:13,077
You know who we could get
for you? Angelina. No.
79
00:03:13,112 --> 00:03:15,946
Kate Beckett,
Kate Beckinsale.
80
00:03:15,980 --> 00:03:17,947
We'll call you K-Becks.
81
00:03:17,981 --> 00:03:19,983
Hey, guys,
where are we on the case?
82
00:03:19,993 --> 00:03:21,813
We got a woman
who says that she heard
83
00:03:21,817 --> 00:03:23,417
a loud sound around 8:45--
84
00:03:23,452 --> 00:03:25,286
sounded like
a car door slamming.
85
00:03:25,296 --> 00:03:26,296
And she said she saw
a white male,
86
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,755
30s, average height,
exiting the waiting room,
87
00:03:29,790 --> 00:03:31,192
moving very quickly
to the 42nd street exit.
88
00:03:31,202 --> 00:03:34,002
Said he was wearing a black
coat, black ball cap, sunglasses
89
00:03:34,627 --> 00:03:36,494
and had some sort of beard,
maybe a goatee.
90
00:03:36,528 --> 00:03:38,929
All right, let's see if anyone
can corroborate her description,
91
00:03:38,963 --> 00:03:41,531
and let's make up a sketch, show
it to Alex Peterman's family,
92
00:03:41,565 --> 00:03:44,099
See if they recognize the killer.
Right.
93
00:03:47,301 --> 00:03:48,601
What is it?
94
00:03:50,336 --> 00:03:52,671
He called
to report his crime.
95
00:03:52,705 --> 00:03:55,039
And that voice...
96
00:03:55,073 --> 00:03:58,374
it's like
he did this for fun.
97
00:04:05,514 --> 00:04:07,514
Hey.
You're up early.
98
00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:09,982
Yes, I have a date
with Beckett at the morgue.
99
00:04:10,016 --> 00:04:12,916
What nefarious plots
are you two hatching?
Uh--
100
00:04:12,951 --> 00:04:14,950
My birthday is coming up.
101
00:04:14,984 --> 00:04:16,817
Uh-huh.
102
00:04:16,852 --> 00:04:19,152
I think
you should tell him, gram.
103
00:04:19,186 --> 00:04:21,020
Sometimes he gives
good advice.
104
00:04:21,054 --> 00:04:23,486
Sometimes?
Yeah, maybe you're right.
105
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,920
But I am not in the mood for
any of your cavalier quips.
106
00:04:26,055 --> 00:04:27,389
I'll be serious
as a shark attack.
107
00:04:27,399 --> 00:04:29,399
Chet has asked me
to move in with him.
108
00:04:31,124 --> 00:04:33,858
I told her... that I thought
it was too soon.
109
00:04:33,892 --> 00:04:35,794
They've only been dating
a few months.
110
00:04:35,885 --> 00:04:38,687
When you get to be our age,
every minute counts.
111
00:04:38,721 --> 00:04:41,790
To that end, I have made
a list of pros and cons.
112
00:04:41,824 --> 00:04:43,525
So far the pros are winning.
113
00:04:43,559 --> 00:04:46,494
"pro-- he makes me feel young."
well...
114
00:04:46,528 --> 00:04:49,597
I make you feel young.
Oh, darling.
115
00:04:49,631 --> 00:04:52,566
"cons--I don't want to live
in another man's home."
116
00:04:52,601 --> 00:04:55,569
You are not another man.
Besides, I trained you.
117
00:04:55,604 --> 00:04:57,905
Who knows what bad habits
118
00:04:57,939 --> 00:04:59,974
Chet picked up along the way,
you know?
Mm-hmm.
119
00:05:00,122 --> 00:05:02,289
Mother, whatever you decide,
I will support you,
120
00:05:03,142 --> 00:05:04,811
the same way I have since
the last man you lived with
121
00:05:05,049 --> 00:05:06,783
stole your life savings.
122
00:05:09,470 --> 00:05:11,471
Cause of death
is multiple gunshot wounds.
123
00:05:11,505 --> 00:05:14,708
Tox indicates he had a martini
about an hour before he died.
124
00:05:14,742 --> 00:05:16,075
Other than that,
125
00:05:16,109 --> 00:05:18,777
there is nothing interesting
about the body.
126
00:05:18,812 --> 00:05:20,779
So then why the call?
127
00:05:20,814 --> 00:05:23,515
The body isn't interesting.
Excuse me.
128
00:05:23,549 --> 00:05:25,116
But the bullets are.
129
00:05:25,150 --> 00:05:26,251
Check out the marking
on the end of the slugs.
130
00:05:26,423 --> 00:05:27,990
Aftermarket factory stamps?
131
00:05:28,025 --> 00:05:29,258
No.
132
00:05:29,293 --> 00:05:32,128
Those aren't stamps.
They're letters.
133
00:05:33,602 --> 00:05:36,637
And look,
they're hand-etched.
134
00:05:38,340 --> 00:05:40,107
They spell something.
135
00:05:40,141 --> 00:05:41,741
They spell...
136
00:05:41,776 --> 00:05:43,776
"kinki."
137
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:47,612
No.
138
00:05:53,185 --> 00:05:54,652
"Nikki."
139
00:05:54,687 --> 00:05:56,487
Nikki Heat.
140
00:05:58,157 --> 00:06:00,125
That's why he called me.
141
00:06:00,159 --> 00:06:02,094
That's why he said
he was a fan.
142
00:06:02,128 --> 00:06:04,597
He dedicated
this murder to me.
143
00:06:06,064 --> 00:06:08,133
Does he realize she's a fictional
character not a real person?
144
00:06:08,324 --> 00:06:11,327
Obviously, he's delusional,
but given that Nikki Heat
145
00:06:11,361 --> 00:06:13,629
is based on Detective Beckett,
maybe he's confusing the two.
146
00:06:13,663 --> 00:06:14,829
And we showed
Alex Peterman's family
147
00:06:14,975 --> 00:06:16,308
the sketch of our suspect.
He did not look familiar.
148
00:06:17,552 --> 00:06:18,819
How are we on forensics?
149
00:06:19,059 --> 00:06:20,626
C.S.U. grabbed
about 200 fingerprints,
150
00:06:20,660 --> 00:06:22,894
a thousand fibers
and 60 odd D.N.A. samples,
151
00:06:22,929 --> 00:06:25,363
and that was
just from the phone box.
152
00:06:25,397 --> 00:06:28,733
They're working them up now...
after they clear their backlog.
153
00:06:28,767 --> 00:06:32,568
Beckett. Guy on the phone's
asking for Detective heat.
154
00:06:39,493 --> 00:06:40,859
Beckett.
155
00:06:40,894 --> 00:06:44,629
Nikki, did you get
the first part of my message?
156
00:06:44,664 --> 00:06:46,497
Yes, I did.
157
00:06:46,532 --> 00:06:50,467
Well, the second is
at the Central Park carousel.

Same M.O.

00:08:03,801 --> 00:08:06,369
She was shot 4 times with
a .45.
162
00:08:06,403 --> 00:08:09,071
There are contusions
on the victim's left side
163
00:08:09,105 --> 00:08:11,106
consistent with the muzzle
of a .45
164
00:08:11,140 --> 00:08:12,908
being jammed into her ribs.
165
00:08:12,942 --> 00:08:14,875
I'm guessing the killer
is left-handed.
166
00:08:14,910 --> 00:08:18,044
C.S.U. pulled the slugs
from the back of the carriage?
167
00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:20,046
Yes, there were letters
on the slugs.
168
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,982
They spell "w-i-l-l."
169
00:08:22,016 --> 00:08:24,053
So he's sending a message.
170
00:08:24,088 --> 00:08:26,289
"Nikki will"...
171
00:08:26,324 --> 00:08:28,991

Thank you, Lanie.
Mm-hmm.
173
00:08:34,161 --> 00:08:36,362
I guess it's official.
Our guy is a serial killer.

00:08:36,473 --> 00:08:37,707
I would think
that a serial killer
175
00:08:37,890 --> 00:08:40,158
would be like the holy grail
for a crime novelist.
176
00:08:40,226 --> 00:08:42,628
I guess it would be if it weren't
for the Nikki Heat of it all.
Ah.
177
00:08:43,162 --> 00:08:45,064
I'm feeling
a little bit responsible.
178
00:08:46,072 --> 00:08:48,273
Really? Like the Beatles
are responsible
179
00:08:48,307 --> 00:08:50,042
for Charles Manson
'cause of "Helter Skelter"?
180
00:08:50,076 --> 00:08:52,377
Or is it more like
Jodie Foster is responsible
181
00:08:52,411 --> 00:08:53,447
for John Hinckley
shooting Reagan?
182
00:08:53,457 --> 00:08:55,157
If I hadn't created
Nikki Heat--
183
00:08:55,435 --> 00:08:57,235
He would still be killing.
184
00:08:57,270 --> 00:08:59,105
He'd just find
another reason why.
185
00:08:59,115 --> 00:09:00,615
All right, folks.
Make way.
186
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:02,807
Now what's going on?
187
00:09:02,841 --> 00:09:05,775
Either a U.F.O. just landed
on the other side of the park...
188
00:09:05,810 --> 00:09:09,511
or else the FBI is here to claim
jurisdiction over this case.
189
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:12,055
Maybe they just want to ride
on the carousel
190
00:09:12,248 --> 00:09:14,749
before the line
gets too long.
191
00:09:14,783 --> 00:09:17,317
Rope off a 10-foot circumference
around the carousel.
192
00:09:17,352 --> 00:09:19,352
Sweep for prints
and trace evidence.
193
00:09:19,387 --> 00:09:21,654
Close off the park entrance
at 6th.
194
00:09:21,689 --> 00:09:24,723
Work up the entire footpath.
Mm-hmm.
195
00:09:24,757 --> 00:09:26,957
Here goes.
Nikki Heat I presume.
196
00:09:26,992 --> 00:09:29,226
It's Beckett.
Detective Kate Beckett.
197
00:09:29,261 --> 00:09:32,062
Yeah, I read all about you
in "Cosmo."
198
00:09:32,096 --> 00:09:34,898
And you must be the celebrity
writer tagalong, Richard Castle.
199
00:09:34,932 --> 00:09:37,867
Special Agent Jordan Shaw.
Jor-Jordan Shaw?
200
00:09:37,902 --> 00:09:40,602
The same Jordan Shaw
that broke
201
00:09:40,636 --> 00:09:43,169
the Hudson Valley Strangler Case
back in 1991?
202
00:09:43,203 --> 00:09:45,170
I also play
a mean game of scrabble.
203
00:09:45,205 --> 00:09:48,172
Now that we all know each other,
I'd like to see the body.
204
00:09:48,207 --> 00:09:51,141
Agent Shaw, my people have
already secured the area.
205
00:09:51,175 --> 00:09:53,982
C.S.U. is on the scene,
and we are canvassing the park.
206
00:09:54,016 --> 00:09:56,451
So as happy as I am
to see the cavalry,
207
00:09:56,485 --> 00:09:57,653
there's really not much left
here for you to do.
208
00:09:57,866 --> 00:09:59,833
Detective, the gods
in the Marble Halls
209
00:09:59,867 --> 00:10:01,768
have sent me here to catch
a killer, which I will do
210
00:10:01,778 --> 00:10:03,278
with or without your help, okay?
211
00:10:04,865 --> 00:10:08,167
Now could I see the body?
That is so going in the movie.
212
00:10:08,201 --> 00:10:10,070
Can you say that again,
but start from "Marble Halls"?
213
00:10:10,818 --> 00:10:13,520
Unis pulled this from
a trash bin. Wallet's inside.
214
00:10:13,555 --> 00:10:14,922
The vic's name
is Michelle Lewis.
215
00:10:14,932 --> 00:10:17,332
According to her business card,
she's a dog walker.
216
00:10:17,645 --> 00:10:20,812
There's a print here, and it's
too large to be our victim's.
217
00:10:20,847 --> 00:10:23,447
Let's get it to the lab for--
218
00:10:23,482 --> 00:10:25,650
What are you doing?
219
00:10:25,684 --> 00:10:27,886
That print is already in the lab
and being processed.
220
00:10:28,020 --> 00:10:30,023
No muss, no fuss,
no black powder on your clothes.
221
00:10:30,596 --> 00:10:32,799
Wow. There's an app for that?
222
00:10:32,809 --> 00:10:36,109
That's why I joined the FBI,
Mr. Castle, for the toys.
223
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:39,571
I'm really eager
to see that body.
224
00:10:39,606 --> 00:10:42,674
Can I take a look
at that--
225
00:10:42,708 --> 00:10:45,276
Be a chance
to check it later.
226
00:10:49,638 --> 00:10:51,806
What is going on?
227
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,740
They're setting up
the war room.
228
00:10:54,775 --> 00:10:57,309
War room?
229
00:10:57,343 --> 00:10:59,011
Tell me everything
you know about Jordan Shaw.
230
00:10:59,021 --> 00:11:00,221
She is like the federal you.
231
00:11:00,789 --> 00:11:03,089
She is good.
She is real good.
232
00:11:03,124 --> 00:11:05,158
She cracked open that
Hudson valley Strangler Case
233
00:11:05,191 --> 00:11:06,559
when she was just 25.
234
00:11:06,593 --> 00:11:08,797
I thought they caught him
off of a speeding ticket.
235
00:11:08,931 --> 00:11:12,001
Well, don't ask me how, but she
profiled that he drove a Yugo.
236
00:11:12,235 --> 00:11:13,737
They found a girl
tied up in the back.
237
00:11:13,747 --> 00:11:16,647
Uh-huh. Jordan Shaw
saved that girl's life.
238
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:19,154
I've never seen you so excited
to meet anyone before.
239
00:11:19,189 --> 00:11:22,091
No, I just--I'm--
oh, I'm impressed with--
Excuse us.
240
00:11:22,457 --> 00:11:24,190
Watch it.
I...
241
00:11:24,224 --> 00:11:28,394
Can we go see
the war room now?
242
00:11:28,428 --> 00:11:31,095
You're running partials,
too, right?
Through all databases.
243
00:11:31,163 --> 00:11:33,964
The lab's getting us information
as fast as we can follow up.
244
00:11:34,258 --> 00:11:36,191
I thought there was
a backlog at the lab.
245
00:11:36,225 --> 00:11:39,094
I have a federal fast pass,
so I get to jump the line.
246
00:11:39,128 --> 00:11:41,630
Currently we a running
35 solid leads
247
00:11:41,664 --> 00:11:43,098
based on D.N.A., prints,
248
00:11:43,132 --> 00:11:44,999
trace evidence found
from both crime scenes,
249
00:11:45,033 --> 00:11:48,001
and we're running it through
the FBI data matrix.
250
00:11:48,035 --> 00:11:49,769
The matrix also looks
for a connection
251
00:11:49,804 --> 00:11:52,504
between the victims
in case the killer has a type
252
00:11:52,538 --> 00:11:55,606
or a favorite hunting ground
or isn't killing randomly.
253
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,807
Both Alex Peterman
and Michelle Lewis belonged to
254
00:11:57,841 --> 00:12:00,676
the same Wessex gym, but they
went to different locations.
255
00:12:00,710 --> 00:12:02,678
They were both members
of moma.
256
00:12:02,712 --> 00:12:05,546
Hmm. They both adopted
their dogs
257
00:12:05,581 --> 00:12:07,081
from the same A.S.P.C.A.
258
00:12:07,115 --> 00:12:09,049
Sounds like it does
your job for you.
259
00:12:09,083 --> 00:12:10,984
A machine can collate.
It can't think.
260
00:12:11,018 --> 00:12:13,787
it takes a mind
to hunt a mind.
261
00:12:13,822 --> 00:12:15,756
Take this guy.
wow.
262
00:12:15,791 --> 00:12:19,360
He calls the police
to report his own crime,
263
00:12:19,394 --> 00:12:21,929
likes to kill
in heavily populated areas
264
00:12:21,963 --> 00:12:23,897
and uses bullets as messages.
265
00:12:23,932 --> 00:12:27,234
Now most of these stalker types
can barely tie their own shoes.
266
00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:29,603
This one's different, smarter.
267
00:12:29,637 --> 00:12:32,473
You almost sound like
you admire him.
268
00:12:32,507 --> 00:12:36,276
I admire him the way Robert Shaw
admired the shark in "Jaws."
269
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:37,877
The better I know him,
270
00:12:37,911 --> 00:12:40,547
the easier it'll be to catch him.
That's like when I'm writing.
271
00:12:40,582 --> 00:12:42,649
The killer's voice
doesn't sound authentic
272
00:12:42,684 --> 00:12:44,853
unless I understand
his motivation.
273
00:12:44,863 --> 00:12:46,363
Well, this guy
likes to make a scene.
274
00:12:46,487 --> 00:12:49,055
I wouldn't be surprised
if he was also an arsonist.
275
00:12:49,056 --> 00:12:51,024
In fact, I think
that's what drew him
276
00:12:51,058 --> 00:12:53,760
to the Nikki Heat character
in the first place--her name.
277
00:12:53,794 --> 00:12:56,563
Speaking of Detective Heat...
Oh.
278
00:12:56,597 --> 00:12:58,164
Whoa. Whoa. Guys. Listen.
279
00:12:58,199 --> 00:13:00,834
Not that I don't appreciate
the royalties, but, uh,
280
00:13:00,868 --> 00:13:02,171
why do you need
a hundred copies of "Heat Wave"?
281
00:13:02,379 --> 00:13:05,448
If our killer is obsessed with
Nikki Heat, then so are we.
282
00:13:05,482 --> 00:13:06,916
Avery, Cliff notes, please.
283
00:13:08,982 --> 00:13:10,916
A real estate tycoon
is killed.
284
00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:13,184
Detective Nikki Heat
catches the case
285
00:13:13,219 --> 00:13:16,488
and investigates suspects
who wanted the man dead.
286
00:13:16,522 --> 00:13:18,856
There's a trophy wife,
of course,
287
00:13:18,891 --> 00:13:20,858
dangerous mobsters---
uh, uh, excuse me.
288
00:13:20,893 --> 00:13:23,361
It's--it's a--it's
a "New York Times" best-seller.
289
00:13:23,395 --> 00:13:26,364
I don't think there's a need
to make it sound quite so dry.
290
00:13:26,398 --> 00:13:27,765
Thanks.
291
00:13:27,799 --> 00:13:30,934
Heat's life is complicated by
a reporter named Jameson Rook,
292
00:13:30,968 --> 00:13:33,937
who's following her around
for an article he's writing.
293
00:13:34,004 --> 00:13:37,506
Heat and Rook verbally spar,
and in chapter 11,
294
00:13:37,541 --> 00:13:40,678
admit their attraction
for one another and have sex.
295
00:13:43,178 --> 00:13:45,646
Mm-hmm.
296
00:13:46,523 --> 00:13:48,224
It's fiction.
297
00:13:49,827 --> 00:13:52,529
In the end,
when the killer's revealed,
298
00:13:52,563 --> 00:13:54,998
it turns out it's actually--
299
00:13:55,032 --> 00:13:57,934
Oh, oh, oh.
Spoiler alert.
300
00:13:57,968 --> 00:14:01,304
In deference to Mr. Castle's
artistic sensitivity,
301
00:14:01,338 --> 00:14:03,907
you can all read the book
to find out the identity
302
00:14:03,941 --> 00:14:05,942
of the killer.
Thank you.
303
00:14:05,976 --> 00:14:08,677
And if you want me
to autograph those for you,
304
00:14:08,712 --> 00:14:11,046
just form a single file line
right here.
305
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,815
Or not.
306
00:14:13,850 --> 00:14:16,687
We got a hit. That pinkie print
off the second victim's purse
307
00:14:16,721 --> 00:14:19,290
belongs to a Donald Salt,
2-time loser,
308
00:14:19,324 --> 00:14:22,561
on parole for a manslaughter
conviction in 2005.
309
00:14:22,595 --> 00:14:25,364
They just matched it
to the partial pinkie print
310
00:14:25,399 --> 00:14:28,067
your team recovered from Grand Central.
Two pinkie prints?
311
00:14:28,166 --> 00:14:30,467
So he was at the station
and the carousel.
312
00:14:30,501 --> 00:14:32,736
And the purse puts him
with our victim.
313
00:14:32,770 --> 00:14:35,438
Let's mount up.
314
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:43,574
Yeah. Okay.
Just pulling up now.
315
00:14:43,608 --> 00:14:46,742
Yep, got it.
316
00:14:46,777 --> 00:14:49,344
Salt lives
in that brick building.
317
00:14:49,378 --> 00:14:50,879
His supervisor says
he left work an hour ago.
318
00:14:51,233 --> 00:14:52,101
So he should be home
by now.
319
00:14:52,195 --> 00:14:54,261
When the others get here,
we'll take him.
320
00:14:54,295 --> 00:14:56,997
What is he doing?
He, um, touches things.
321
00:14:58,619 --> 00:15:02,722
Night vision goggles. I think
I have the newer model, though.
322
00:15:02,756 --> 00:15:04,557
You know,
maybe in my third book,
323
00:15:04,591 --> 00:15:06,192
Nikki Heat will cross swords
324
00:15:06,226 --> 00:15:09,895
with a good-looking,
yet coldhearted FBI profiler.
325
00:15:09,929 --> 00:15:12,730
Call it "Federal Heat."
326
00:15:12,765 --> 00:15:14,465
Or maybe not.
327
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,122
So howi'm... We're-- two been
we're not sleeping together.
328
00:15:21,310 --> 00:15:22,711
Um...-
329
00:15:22,721 --> 00:15:24,421
We're- we're not sleeping together
330
00:15:24,721 --> 00:15:26,741
We--he--
he just observes me.
331
00:15:26,742 --> 00:15:28,772
Yeah. I've seen
how he observes you.
332
00:15:28,807 --> 00:15:31,808
no, she's right.
Aside from my second wife,
333
00:15:31,843 --> 00:15:33,239
This is the most sexless
relationship I've ever been in.
334
00:15:33,463 --> 00:15:35,259
I've been profiling people for a long time.
335
00:15:35,295 --> 00:15:36,362
I'm hardly ever wrong.
336
00:15:36,872 --> 00:15:39,172
Well, this time you are...
Wrong.
337
00:15:40,982 --> 00:15:42,082
So if you're not
sleeping together,
338
00:15:42,126 --> 00:15:44,061
Why do you keep him around?
339
00:15:44,095 --> 00:15:46,696
You know I can hear you?
340
00:15:46,730 --> 00:15:49,265
He's actually proven
to be surprisingly helpful.
341
00:15:49,299 --> 00:15:51,834
Hmm. Have to take
your word on that.
342
00:15:54,070 --> 00:15:56,571
Put the taser down.
343
00:16:01,008 --> 00:16:03,075
Okay, the team's here.
344
00:16:03,110 --> 00:16:04,943
You stay in the car.
345
00:16:04,978 --> 00:16:08,614
You heard her, Castle.
Stay.
346
00:16:08,648 --> 00:16:11,584
Could you at least
crack the window for me?
347
00:16:14,254 --> 00:16:17,189
Come on. Let's go.
Move, move.
348
00:16:17,224 --> 00:16:20,860
Let's make it quick
and bloodless.
349
00:16:23,831 --> 00:16:26,566
Go, go, go, go.
350
00:16:28,235 --> 00:16:30,670
Hang on.
351
00:16:30,737 --> 00:16:33,038
Stop! FBI!
Hey!
352
00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:39,111
Aah!
353
00:16:39,145 --> 00:16:41,779
Aah! Oh!
354
00:16:41,814 --> 00:16:42,814
Oh!
355
00:16:42,848 --> 00:16:45,383
Ohh! Oh!
356
00:16:45,417 --> 00:16:46,851
Oh!
357
00:16:46,886 --> 00:16:48,321
See, I'm helping.
358
00:16:48,354 --> 00:16:50,156
Yeah. I'll buy you
an ice cream later.
359
00:16:50,378 --> 00:16:53,013
Agent Shaw,
we got a problem.
360
00:16:53,048 --> 00:16:55,015
His pinkie finger's missing.
361
00:16:56,517 --> 00:17:00,050
Which one of you
is Nikki Heat?
362
00:17:03,728 --> 00:17:05,995
So I was on one of those
internet barter sites,
363
00:17:06,029 --> 00:17:08,163
And I was looking--
364
00:17:08,197 --> 00:17:10,130
It, uh, doesn't matter
what I was looking for.
365
00:17:10,164 --> 00:17:12,665
But I came across the ad.
366
00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:14,367
"finger wanted.
Will pay top dollar."
367
00:17:14,401 --> 00:17:16,536
And what's top dollar
for a pinkie finger?
368
00:17:17,562 --> 00:17:19,863
5,000 bucks.
369
00:17:19,898 --> 00:17:21,432
Sounds like a real deal.
370
00:17:21,666 --> 00:17:23,334
Hey, you get less than that
for a kidney.
371
00:17:23,868 --> 00:17:25,302
So anyway,
I e-mailed him back.
372
00:17:25,336 --> 00:17:26,903
I told him I had
everything he wanted.
373
00:17:26,927 --> 00:17:30,061
You gave him the finger.
What more did he want?
374
00:17:30,195 --> 00:17:33,229
He wanted me to have
a violent felony conviction
375
00:17:34,130 --> 00:17:36,030
and to be recently paroled.
376
00:17:36,065 --> 00:17:38,500
And you also had to be
willing to suffer through
377
00:17:38,534 --> 00:17:40,335
the indignity
of a false arrest.
378
00:17:40,370 --> 00:17:44,840
He told me Detective Nikki Heat
would be coming for me...
379
00:17:44,874 --> 00:17:47,876
and it might get physical.
380
00:17:47,910 --> 00:17:50,345
He didn't mention anything
about Captain America
381
00:17:50,379 --> 00:17:51,746
with the taser gun.
382
00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:53,180
So he warned you
383
00:17:53,215 --> 00:17:55,916
that he would be planting
your print at a murder scene.
384
00:17:55,950 --> 00:17:57,917
Which is why you have
an alibi.
385
00:17:57,952 --> 00:17:59,919
Was perched on
my favorite bar stool
386
00:17:59,954 --> 00:18:01,987
at McSorley's
until closing every night
387
00:18:02,022 --> 00:18:04,223
since that man took my digit
and walked away with it
388
00:18:04,462 --> 00:18:06,796
in his cooler.
Is this the man?
389
00:18:06,831 --> 00:18:09,164
I'm not sure.
I didn't really see him.
390
00:18:09,199 --> 00:18:11,900
He had a hat and sunglasses.
Who bandaged your finger?
391
00:18:11,935 --> 00:18:13,367
He did.
392
00:18:13,402 --> 00:18:16,773
He said you'd notice.
393
00:18:18,308 --> 00:18:21,309
Ooh,e gentle with me,Nikki.
394
00:18:29,917 --> 00:18:32,018
There's numbers here.
395
00:18:35,388 --> 00:18:37,122
This looks like a code.
396
00:18:38,263 --> 00:18:39,631
Severed digits,
397
00:18:39,814 --> 00:18:42,315
A secret code--this is like
one of my books.
398
00:18:42,316 --> 00:18:44,617
You should've been with me
on the recapitator case.
399
00:18:44,651 --> 00:18:46,952
What, that guy in Phoenix who
switched his victims' heads?
400
00:18:46,953 --> 00:18:47,989
That was your case?
401
00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:49,899
Our techs
have run the numbers
402
00:18:50,021 --> 00:18:52,856
through all conventional
cryptology. We can't crack it.
403
00:18:52,890 --> 00:18:55,724
Which means what?
There's either a reference key
that we don't have
404
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:58,827
or the code itself is just
a random string of numbers.
It's not random.
405
00:18:58,861 --> 00:19:00,963
He bought another man's finger
so he could leave a print
406
00:19:01,186 --> 00:19:02,453
that would lead us
directly to this code.
407
00:19:02,660 --> 00:19:03,794
It's how he taunts Nikki.
408
00:19:03,980 --> 00:19:05,981
"are you clever enough
to solve my riddle?"
409
00:19:06,015 --> 00:19:07,882
So whatever
this reference key is,
410
00:19:07,916 --> 00:19:09,252
he thinks you can find it.
411
00:19:09,262 --> 00:19:10,962
Those numbers
could mean anything.
412
00:19:11,418 --> 00:19:13,586
Well, the left-hand
column is less than 300.
413
00:19:13,621 --> 00:19:15,554
Right-hand column
is no more than 260.
414
00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:17,556
And the combination
of the joined pair
415
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:20,325
Most likely yields a word.
Words.
416
00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:22,160
It's "Heat Wave."
417
00:19:22,194 --> 00:19:26,497
When we typeset a manuscript,
it's usually 300 words a page.
418
00:19:26,531 --> 00:19:28,966
And "Heat Wave"
is less than 300 pages.
419
00:19:30,506 --> 00:19:32,275
First column
is a page number...
420
00:19:32,309 --> 00:19:33,809
Counting backwards
from the bottom.
421
00:19:33,865 --> 00:19:36,800
79. Second column
is a word.
422
00:19:36,835 --> 00:19:39,069
32, 33. "I."
126--80, "will."
423
00:19:39,104 --> 00:19:41,473
145--204, "kill."
424
00:19:41,507 --> 00:19:42,907
"I will kill"...
425
00:19:42,941 --> 00:19:45,709
Hang on. I'm uploading
the text right now.
426
00:19:47,713 --> 00:19:49,280
"I will kill
427
00:19:49,314 --> 00:19:51,416
"someone else before
428
00:19:51,451 --> 00:19:54,887
"midnight tonight
unless you stop me."
429
00:19:57,491 --> 00:19:59,890
Midnight.
That's eight hours away.
430
00:19:59,924 --> 00:20:03,091
He's putting us on the clock.
He's daring us to stop him.
431
00:20:09,596 --> 00:20:11,197
Kickin' it old-school?
432
00:20:11,231 --> 00:20:13,232
The white board's
always worked for me.
433
00:20:14,686 --> 00:20:15,986
I've been going over
subway routes,
434
00:20:16,314 --> 00:20:18,048
trying to see
if I can trace a pattern
435
00:20:18,211 --> 00:20:20,177
from Grand Central
to the carousel
436
00:20:20,211 --> 00:20:22,779
to the next location,
and so far, nothing definitive.
437
00:20:22,813 --> 00:20:24,547
Well, maybe there's something
438
00:20:24,581 --> 00:20:26,782
about how he chooses
his victims.
439
00:20:26,816 --> 00:20:28,951
First a man, then a woman.
A lawyer and a dog walker?
440
00:20:28,985 --> 00:20:30,685
Let's face it.
There's no pattern there.
441
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,689
There's no way to predict
where he's gonna go next,
442
00:20:33,723 --> 00:20:37,059
And it's already 9:00,
and we're out of time.
443
00:20:37,093 --> 00:20:41,665
And every murder he commits
in the name of Nikki Heat...
444
00:20:42,912 --> 00:20:44,480
A very wise woman
once told me,
445
00:20:44,603 --> 00:20:46,716
you can't blame Jodie Foster
for John Hinckley.
446
00:20:48,838 --> 00:20:51,575
But you can blame her
for "Nim's Island."
447
00:20:53,378 --> 00:20:56,446
Llead just came in now.
Let's get it to Avery.
448
00:20:59,250 --> 00:21:00,350
What have you got?
449
00:21:00,460 --> 00:21:02,060
Lab results came back
on that bandage.
450
00:21:02,085 --> 00:21:03,386
Tested positive
for formaldehyde,
451
00:21:03,420 --> 00:21:05,054
methanol and ethanol.
452
00:21:05,189 --> 00:21:06,658
Embalming fluid.
Embalming fluid.
453
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,229
The lab found traces of
formaldehyde at Grand Central
454
00:21:10,263 --> 00:21:12,433
and ethanol at the carousel.
455
00:21:12,443 --> 00:21:14,243
Our killer
works at a mortuary.
456
00:21:15,008 --> 00:21:16,875
Or he could be
a hospital employee
457
00:21:16,910 --> 00:21:17,678
or a janitor at a morgue.
458
00:21:17,802 --> 00:21:19,837
No. Castle's theory
is more likely.
459
00:21:19,871 --> 00:21:21,639
Bring up all the mortuaries
in the city.
460
00:21:21,673 --> 00:21:24,474
We've got over a thousand
in the New York City area alone.
461
00:21:24,509 --> 00:21:25,375
We can't hit all these
before midnight.
462
00:21:25,385 --> 00:21:27,485
Can you cross-reference
mortuary experience
463
00:21:27,509 --> 00:21:30,109
with criminal records?
Or job finder groups for ex-cons.
464
00:21:30,143 --> 00:21:32,611
Yes!
I can try.
465
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:35,393
Six names.
466
00:21:35,534 --> 00:21:37,635
Mobilize the troops.
I want every one of these guys
467
00:21:37,669 --> 00:21:39,536
in our custody
before midnight.
468
00:21:39,570 --> 00:21:43,740
I see what you mean
about him being helpful.
469
00:21:45,809 --> 00:21:49,411
Any of these undertakers
look good for it?
470
00:21:49,445 --> 00:21:52,380
They all say the same thing,
"we work with dead bodies
471
00:21:52,414 --> 00:21:54,381
all day,
we don't need to make more."
472
00:21:54,415 --> 00:21:56,483
He baited us, just like
with that fingerprint.
473
00:21:56,517 --> 00:21:58,451
We're wasting our time.
474
00:21:58,486 --> 00:22:01,520
He's on the phone.
He's asking for Nikki Heat.
475
00:22:01,555 --> 00:22:04,190
We're tracing the call.
476
00:22:05,725 --> 00:22:07,359
Hello.
477
00:22:07,393 --> 00:22:08,527
Nikki?
478
00:22:08,561 --> 00:22:10,962
You were supposed to stop me.
479
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:13,298
I wanted you to stop me.
480
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:15,300
Tell me where you are.
481
00:22:16,215 --> 00:22:19,050
Will you come alone?
482
00:22:19,718 --> 00:22:21,352
Yes, just you and me.
483
00:22:21,420 --> 00:22:24,322
We can figure this out.
484
00:22:25,375 --> 00:22:27,644
I can help you.
You just need to trust me.
485
00:22:29,110 --> 00:22:32,645
Tell me something...
486
00:22:32,679 --> 00:22:37,116
how does it feel
to know that you have failed?
487
00:22:51,752 --> 00:22:54,189
Check the stairs.
Get a unit on the roof.
488
00:22:54,227 --> 00:22:55,996
I want eyes on every inch
of this structure.
489
00:22:56,128 --> 00:22:58,596
He was just here.
That body can't be too far.
490
00:22:58,631 --> 00:23:00,932
Over here!
A lot of blood.
491
00:23:00,967 --> 00:23:03,001
A woman's shoe.
492
00:23:03,035 --> 00:23:04,435
Got a broken heel.
493
00:23:04,468 --> 00:23:07,436
Strands of hair.
Looks like she put up a fight.
494
00:23:07,470 --> 00:23:08,836
There's four shell casings.
495
00:23:08,870 --> 00:23:11,305
There's no way
she would've survived
496
00:23:11,339 --> 00:23:13,740
without medical attention.
Then where's the body?
497
00:23:13,774 --> 00:23:15,709
He always leaves the body
where he kills.
498
00:23:15,743 --> 00:23:17,444
And he always kills
in famous places
499
00:23:17,478 --> 00:23:18,880
with lots of foot traffic.
500
00:23:19,913 --> 00:23:20,847
He's changing his M.O.
501
00:23:21,064 --> 00:23:21,998
which makes him
more unpredictable,
502
00:23:22,178 --> 00:23:23,179
which makes him
more dangerous.
503
00:23:23,527 --> 00:23:25,561
Structure's clear.
There's no body.
504
00:23:27,096 --> 00:23:28,930
Where the hell
did he put her?
505
00:23:28,965 --> 00:23:30,365
He put her in his trunk.
506
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,602
That blood trail ends
right here.
507
00:23:34,709 --> 00:23:37,344
So he waited,
probably left his car idling,
508
00:23:37,379 --> 00:23:39,680
takes down his victim,
popped his trunk, put her in,
509
00:23:39,715 --> 00:23:42,450
drove away, body on board.
Get the parking attendant
510
00:23:42,484 --> 00:23:44,519
to give us a list
of all the vehicles through here
511
00:23:44,553 --> 00:23:46,220
and the video footage.
Mm-hmm.
512
00:23:46,255 --> 00:23:47,254
You think
he used his own car?
513
00:23:47,264 --> 00:23:49,087
No, but if he
stole it tonight,
514
00:23:49,088 --> 00:23:50,788
he might not have had time
to switch the plates.
515
00:23:50,912 --> 00:23:52,912
We put out an A.P.B.
I'll get my guys to get a roster
516
00:23:53,047 --> 00:23:54,514
Of all the people who had
monthlies on this floor.
517
00:23:54,524 --> 00:23:55,724
My people are already on it.
518
00:23:55,912 --> 00:23:57,380
I got way more people
than you do.
519
00:23:57,667 --> 00:23:59,302
Your captain has a unit
on your apartment.
520
00:23:59,336 --> 00:24:00,737
Go home. Get some rest.
It's not necess--
521
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,622
No argument. You're no good
to me if you're burned out.
522
00:24:17,962 --> 00:24:20,830
He roars
like an angry, caged animal.
523
00:24:20,898 --> 00:24:23,466
He's heading towards
the outer hatch area.
524
00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:25,802
The blows don't seem to be
injuring his hands.
525
00:24:25,836 --> 00:24:27,837
There's no--there's no blood
that I can see.
526
00:24:27,872 --> 00:24:29,506
Hey.
527
00:24:29,540 --> 00:24:31,541
Hi.
What are you still doing up?
528
00:24:31,575 --> 00:24:33,642
Oh, can't sleep.
Too much on my mind.
529
00:24:33,677 --> 00:24:37,045
You know,
decisions to make and...
530
00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:39,080
Wow. One of
your old wedding videos.
531
00:24:39,114 --> 00:24:41,648
Oh-ho-ho.
Are you kidding?
532
00:24:41,683 --> 00:24:44,084
This guy's a pushover
compared to my ex-husbands.
533
00:24:44,118 --> 00:24:46,620
So the pros
outweighed the cons?
534
00:24:46,654 --> 00:24:49,456
Darling, this was always
supposed to be
535
00:24:49,491 --> 00:24:52,860
a temporary situation--un-until
I got back on my feet, you know.
536
00:24:52,894 --> 00:24:55,696
Well, the Rodgers women
always follow their hearts.
537
00:24:55,730 --> 00:24:58,165
Yeah.
538
00:24:58,199 --> 00:24:59,799
You okay?
539
00:25:01,049 --> 00:25:02,651
This case, it just...
540
00:25:03,949 --> 00:25:04,816
If it wasn't for my book--
541
00:25:05,008 --> 00:25:05,908
What are you gonna do,
darling,
542
00:25:06,141 --> 00:25:09,009
stop writing because some idiot
has got a screw loose?
543
00:25:09,043 --> 00:25:10,844
No, it's just...
544
00:25:12,352 --> 00:25:14,454
I never intended
to put her in harm's way.
545
00:25:14,588 --> 00:25:16,555
Let me tell you something
about Kate Beckett.
546
00:25:16,590 --> 00:25:19,258
That gal can take care
of herself.
547
00:25:19,293 --> 00:25:21,127
Really.
548
00:25:53,995 --> 00:25:54,929
Whoo! Wow!
549
00:25:55,076 --> 00:25:58,010
Castle?
What are you doing here?
550
00:25:59,484 --> 00:26:00,684
Wine?
551
00:26:00,718 --> 00:26:02,718
So what happened
to your security detail?
552
00:26:03,253 --> 00:26:04,786
I didn't see anyone outside.
553
00:26:04,820 --> 00:26:08,053
I sent them home
after I got in.
554
00:26:08,088 --> 00:26:09,786
What?
555
00:26:09,820 --> 00:26:11,953
The windows are locked,
the door is locked,
556
00:26:11,987 --> 00:26:13,887
I'm armed.
557
00:26:13,921 --> 00:26:16,659
So our guy killed the others
where they were found.
558
00:26:18,183 --> 00:26:19,617
Why not this girl?
559
00:26:19,651 --> 00:26:20,887
Why didn't he just leave her
in the garage
560
00:26:20,921 --> 00:26:22,054
where we'd find her?
561
00:26:22,306 --> 00:26:23,739
He's changing it up.
562
00:26:23,773 --> 00:26:26,009
Or this victim is special.
Oh, no, thanks.
563
00:26:27,753 --> 00:26:30,757
No, no, Agent Shaw said
we need to decompress.
564
00:26:30,791 --> 00:26:34,661
Nothing decompresses like
a 2000 Châteauneuf-du-pape.
565
00:26:34,695 --> 00:26:37,363
Oh, well, if special agent Shaw
said so...
566
00:26:37,397 --> 00:26:38,366
What is that supposed to mean?
567
00:26:38,376 --> 00:26:41,876
Nothing. I just see the way
that you listen to her,
568
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,667
the way that you look
at all of her fancy equipment.
569
00:26:44,702 --> 00:26:46,736
Now my murder board's
not enough for you?
570
00:26:46,770 --> 00:26:48,470
Now you need a smart board?
571
00:26:48,504 --> 00:26:51,138
Are you jealous?
I'm not jealous. I'm just embarrassed...
572
00:26:51,362 --> 00:26:52,729
the way that you act like
a 10 year old,
573
00:26:52,940 --> 00:26:54,841
all impressed
by her data matrix.
574
00:26:55,072 --> 00:26:57,539
"oh, it collates information
so quickly, Agent Shaw.
575
00:26:57,574 --> 00:26:59,908
Tell me all about it."
You are ridiculous.
576
00:26:59,942 --> 00:27:02,611
And then to top it off, you are
now building theory with her.
So?
577
00:27:02,645 --> 00:27:05,181
So you're supposed to be
building theory with me.
578
00:27:05,215 --> 00:27:07,218
You're supposed to be
on my team.
579
00:27:07,228 --> 00:27:08,728
Well, I thought we were all
on the same team?
580
00:27:08,930 --> 00:27:11,898
We are. It's just... I think
that if you have an insight,
581
00:27:11,933 --> 00:27:14,667
you should
run it by me first.
582
00:27:14,701 --> 00:27:16,568
Fine. I will.
Now drink your wine.
583
00:27:16,602 --> 00:27:18,069
Thanks.
584
00:27:18,830 --> 00:27:21,197
But I am tired.
585
00:27:21,232 --> 00:27:23,933
And... I need to go to bed.
586
00:27:23,967 --> 00:27:26,202
Oh, no. I'm not leaving.
587
00:27:26,236 --> 00:27:28,636
I'm here to protect you.
588
00:27:28,671 --> 00:27:31,106
What, with your vast arsenal
of rapier wit?
589
00:27:31,996 --> 00:27:34,498
There is a madman
gunning for you because of me.
590
00:27:34,796 --> 00:27:37,330
I am not
going to leave you alone.
591
00:27:37,365 --> 00:27:40,533
Okay, fine.
I am too tired to argue.
592
00:27:40,567 --> 00:27:42,868
But if I see
that doorknob turn,
593
00:27:42,902 --> 00:27:44,436
I will have you know,
594
00:27:44,470 --> 00:27:47,708
Mr. Castle, that I sleep with a gun.
Understood.
595
00:28:14,872 --> 00:28:17,774
You're still here...
And you're making pancakes?
596
00:28:17,808 --> 00:28:21,109
I was hoping for bacon and eggs,
but your eggs are expired
597
00:28:21,144 --> 00:28:22,979
and your bacon
has something furry on it.
598
00:28:22,989 --> 00:28:24,789
Yeah, well,
I mostly order in.
599
00:28:24,914 --> 00:28:25,981
I figured that
from the styrofoam temple
600
00:28:26,094 --> 00:28:27,429
you've got going on
in that refrigerator.
601
00:28:27,585 --> 00:28:29,586
Coffee's brewed. I think
your filter's broken though.
602
00:28:29,620 --> 00:28:31,189
I'll order you
a new one later.
603
00:28:31,199 --> 00:28:33,699
Wow. Looks like
you thought of everything.
604
00:28:33,723 --> 00:28:35,190
Except the paper.
605
00:28:35,874 --> 00:28:37,809
Castle, we don't have time
for the paper.
606
00:28:37,843 --> 00:28:40,778
There's a body out there
that I gotta find.
Woah!
607
00:28:42,213 --> 00:28:45,181
Looks like it found you.
608
00:28:53,382 --> 00:28:55,350
So you had
just gotten up, right?
609
00:28:55,538 --> 00:28:57,538
Yeah. Castle just finished
making breakfast,
610
00:28:57,573 --> 00:28:59,907
and he went to the door--
What kind of breakfast?
611
00:28:59,941 --> 00:29:01,674
Uh, I'm sorry?
612
00:29:01,709 --> 00:29:04,209
What kind of breakfast
was he making?
613
00:29:04,244 --> 00:29:06,044
Pancakes.
614
00:29:06,078 --> 00:29:07,978
Well, isn't that domestic?
615
00:29:08,013 --> 00:29:09,313
Anyway,
616
00:29:09,347 --> 00:29:12,382
the paper usually arrives
at 4:00, and we were up at 7:00.
617
00:29:12,536 --> 00:29:13,937
So that means the killer had
a 3-hour window
618
00:29:14,133 --> 00:29:15,568
where he could've left
the body there unnoticed.
619
00:29:15,578 --> 00:29:16,598
And exactly what time
620
00:29:16,694 --> 00:29:18,562
did you and Mr. Castle
go to bed last night?
621
00:29:20,345 --> 00:29:22,080
I think we're done here.
622
00:29:22,114 --> 00:29:24,515
Dude, I see
Beckett in her jammies...
623
00:29:24,550 --> 00:29:26,884
Wine glasses on the table.
624
00:29:26,918 --> 00:29:30,020
There's nothing going on
with Beckett and me.
625
00:29:30,055 --> 00:29:33,491
No more than there was yesterday.
Dude, you made her pancakes?
626
00:29:33,525 --> 00:29:36,593
It's just breakfast.
Pancakes is not just breakfast.
627
00:29:36,628 --> 00:29:38,962
It's an edible way
of saying,
628
00:29:38,996 --> 00:29:41,030
"thank you so much
for last night."
629
00:29:41,064 --> 00:29:43,532
Castle, come on.
We're your friends. Details.
630
00:29:45,001 --> 00:29:47,068
All right. Come here.
631
00:29:49,138 --> 00:29:51,673
There are no details.
632
00:29:51,708 --> 00:29:54,676
I can't even look at you
right now.
633
00:29:54,710 --> 00:29:57,010
Witness refuses
to cooperate.
634
00:29:59,999 --> 00:30:01,300
Now we know
why he took the body.
635
00:30:01,669 --> 00:30:04,971
"I know where you live."
this was a threat.
636
00:30:05,306 --> 00:30:07,373
More than that.
637
00:30:08,493 --> 00:30:10,261
He's saying
he's disappointed in you.
638
00:30:10,441 --> 00:30:11,108
In his mind,
639
00:30:11,168 --> 00:30:13,635
he gave you fair warning that
he was going to kill again.
640
00:30:13,669 --> 00:30:16,570
If you had been smarter, you
would've been able to stop him.
641
00:30:16,604 --> 00:30:20,439
He's saying,
"this one is on you."
642
00:30:20,474 --> 00:30:23,643
I'm profiling him, Detective,
not agreeing with him.
643
00:30:23,677 --> 00:30:25,712
The guy
is a friggin' nut bar.
644
00:30:25,746 --> 00:30:27,514
Don't let him get to you.
645
00:30:27,548 --> 00:30:29,783
Talk about irony.
646
00:30:30,876 --> 00:30:32,745
Do we have an I.D. on our vic?
No, not yet.
647
00:30:32,929 --> 00:30:35,898
There's no purse, no missing
person's report filed.
648
00:30:35,932 --> 00:30:37,332
The coroner's van's
downstairs.
649
00:30:37,367 --> 00:30:39,368
We need to get the body to
the morgue and pull the slugs.
650
00:30:39,522 --> 00:30:40,989
Only four entry wounds.
651
00:30:41,024 --> 00:30:42,457
If the pattern holds,
652
00:30:42,492 --> 00:30:44,292
he should have a 4-letter word.
653
00:30:44,327 --> 00:30:47,229
That's sunny. I have
a 4-letter word for him, too.
654
00:30:47,263 --> 00:30:50,232
Why don't you two escort
the body to the morgue
655
00:30:50,266 --> 00:30:52,300
and let me know what you find?
Okay.
656
00:30:52,335 --> 00:30:54,836
Once you're dressed,
of course.
657
00:31:01,010 --> 00:31:03,877
Hey. Heard you two
were making pancakes
658
00:31:04,093 --> 00:31:05,594
when the body dropped.
659
00:31:05,628 --> 00:31:08,264
Nothing happened.
Right.
660
00:31:08,298 --> 00:31:10,099
So what do you got?
661
00:31:10,133 --> 00:31:11,634
Letters on the slugs.
662
00:31:11,668 --> 00:31:13,736
"b-u-r--"
663
00:31:13,770 --> 00:31:16,438
"burn." Nikki will burn.
Well, that's chilling.
664
00:31:16,660 --> 00:31:19,195
Our victim's fingerprints
aren't in the system.
665
00:31:19,229 --> 00:31:21,130
Do you have anything
that can I.D. her?
666
00:31:21,164 --> 00:31:23,100
Well, I found formaldehyde on her.
Yeah, that's from the killer.
667
00:31:23,259 --> 00:31:24,526
He left it
at the other scenes as well.
668
00:31:24,748 --> 00:31:27,583
Not traces. It was under
her fingernails, in her hair.
669
00:31:27,617 --> 00:31:29,585
She worked
with embalming fluid.
670
00:31:29,620 --> 00:31:33,122
I also found traces of clay,
polyurethane and animal blood.
671
00:31:33,156 --> 00:31:35,725
I don't know who she is, but I
can tell you what she does.
672
00:31:35,759 --> 00:31:37,329
She's a taxidermist.
673
00:31:37,339 --> 00:31:40,139
It's so cute,
the way you two do that.
674
00:31:42,893 --> 00:31:45,896
Taxidermy?
Embalming fluid plus animal hair
675
00:31:45,930 --> 00:31:47,330
equals Norman Bates'
favorite pastime.
676
00:31:47,398 --> 00:31:50,300
It can't be just a coincidence
that we found embalming fluid
677
00:31:50,334 --> 00:31:53,502
at our first two crime scenes
as well.
678
00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:57,539
So the killer and this victim
were connected.
679
00:31:57,574 --> 00:31:59,208
It seems so.
680
00:31:59,242 --> 00:32:01,210
So there's only seven
taxidermy shops in the city.
681
00:32:01,244 --> 00:32:02,611
My guys are running them down
right now.
682
00:32:02,772 --> 00:32:04,639
But if there was a connection
between them,
683
00:32:04,673 --> 00:32:05,608
why didn't comparison matrix
find it?
684
00:32:05,618 --> 00:32:07,918
Maybe it's not as simple
as a work relationship
685
00:32:08,143 --> 00:32:10,010
or going to the same gym.
686
00:32:10,044 --> 00:32:13,914
Like you said, it takes a mind
to hunt a mind.
Yo.
687
00:32:13,948 --> 00:32:15,783
We got an I.D.
on our third vic.
688
00:32:15,817 --> 00:32:17,651
Her name is Sandra Keller.
689
00:32:17,685 --> 00:32:19,787
She works
at a taxidermy shop downtown.
690
00:32:19,821 --> 00:32:22,289
Any connection
between her and our killer?
691
00:32:22,324 --> 00:32:24,425
A colleague of hers said
she had a run-in with a guy
692
00:32:24,459 --> 00:32:27,128
who maybe matched our sketch--
a customer whose Bichon Frise
693
00:32:27,163 --> 00:32:29,432
had been killed in the park
by another dog--a Rottweiler.
694
00:32:29,442 --> 00:32:30,542
Customer was heartbroken.
695
00:32:30,780 --> 00:32:32,948
He paid half up front
to have his Mr. Bumpkins
696
00:32:32,983 --> 00:32:34,484
preserved for eternity.
697
00:32:34,518 --> 00:32:36,587
When he came back to pick up
his dog, didn't have the fee.
698
00:32:36,722 --> 00:32:38,423
When Sandra refused
to give up stuffed Bumpkins,
699
00:32:38,657 --> 00:32:41,457
the guy went ballistic
and stormed out of the store.
700
00:32:41,491 --> 00:32:43,125
Two nights later,
they had a break-in.
701
00:32:43,159 --> 00:32:45,290
Among the things that
went missing are this guy's
702
00:32:45,324 --> 00:32:47,992
stuffed Bichon Frise
and a bunch of embalming fluid.
703
00:32:48,002 --> 00:32:50,302
That explains why we found traces
of it at the murder scenes.
704
00:32:50,448 --> 00:32:52,349
He also trashed
the store's computer.
705
00:32:52,458 --> 00:32:56,161
There's no client data, no name.
My agents interviewed
706
00:32:56,195 --> 00:32:59,197
all of Michelle Lewis'
dog walking clients.
707
00:32:59,231 --> 00:33:02,032
One couple had to put
their Rottweiler down because
708
00:33:02,066 --> 00:33:05,034
Michelle lost control of it,
and it killed another dog.
Mr. Bumpkins.
709
00:33:05,068 --> 00:33:08,470
So grief-stricken, our killer
blames Michelle and Sandra
710
00:33:08,504 --> 00:33:11,673
for the loss of his best friend
and decides to get revenge.
711
00:33:11,707 --> 00:33:13,174
All of this about a dog?
712
00:33:13,208 --> 00:33:16,243
What does this have to do
with Nikki Heat?
The dog's the trigger.
713
00:33:16,278 --> 00:33:17,913
Maybe he was reading the book
when it was killed.
714
00:33:18,093 --> 00:33:19,961
When he snapped, he somehow
blamed Nikki for it.
715
00:33:20,971 --> 00:33:22,371
It seems a little absurd.
716
00:33:22,753 --> 00:33:23,921
You must be a cat lover.
717
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,548
Detective, he's looking for
a reason to kill. This is it.
718
00:33:27,258 --> 00:33:28,458
What about our first vic?
719
00:33:28,851 --> 00:33:30,086
How does Peterman
fit in to all this?
720
00:33:30,096 --> 00:33:31,996
Well, he was
a personal injury lawyer.
721
00:33:32,225 --> 00:33:34,160
Maybe our murderer
wanted to file
722
00:33:34,194 --> 00:33:35,830
a wrongful doggy death suit.
723
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,140
According to Peterman's notes,
724
00:33:37,355 --> 00:33:40,890
back in January, he had
a meeting with a Ben Conrad
725
00:33:40,925 --> 00:33:42,824
over a lawsuit
about a dead dog.
726
00:33:42,859 --> 00:33:44,492
Peterman declined to take
the case though.
727
00:33:44,502 --> 00:33:46,102
That's the last piece
of our puzzle.
728
00:33:46,376 --> 00:33:49,277
What do you have on Conrad?
729
00:33:49,312 --> 00:33:52,346
Just a photo from the D.M.V.
730
00:34:00,487 --> 00:34:04,390
Got you,
you son of a bitch.
731
00:34:09,556 --> 00:34:12,158
Yeah.
732
00:34:12,192 --> 00:34:13,426
Okay.
733
00:34:13,460 --> 00:34:14,494
Okay, sweetie.
734
00:34:14,689 --> 00:34:16,623
Mommy's gotta go
arrest somebody, okay?
735
00:34:16,657 --> 00:34:19,625
I'll be home for dinner.
All right. I love you.
736
00:34:19,659 --> 00:34:20,760
Bye.
737
00:34:20,794 --> 00:34:23,229
You're a mom?
Yeah.
738
00:34:23,263 --> 00:34:26,699
And you can holster your gun.
You're both staying here.
What? No, come no.
739
00:34:26,733 --> 00:34:29,169
This is the final takedown.
You can't let her do this to us.
740
00:34:29,333 --> 00:34:32,335
No, Agent Shaw is right.
I'm his target.
741
00:34:32,956 --> 00:34:34,356
I can't compromise your team
742
00:34:34,391 --> 00:34:35,359
by walking into the line of fire.
743
00:34:35,508 --> 00:34:38,009
We'll take him down.
It'll still be your collar.
Mm-hmm.
744
00:34:40,472 --> 00:34:43,273
Wow. She's a mom. I never
would've pegged her for that.
745
00:34:43,307 --> 00:34:45,574
I figured she was
a career-driven woman
746
00:34:45,609 --> 00:34:48,110
with no time for a family.
Well, not everybody makes that choice.
747
00:34:48,144 --> 00:34:51,513
Beckett.
He's calling for you.
748
00:34:51,547 --> 00:34:53,850
Put him on.
749
00:34:53,884 --> 00:34:55,118
Hello.
750
00:34:55,153 --> 00:34:58,560
Oh, you think you're so smart,
don't you, Nikki?
751
00:34:58,594 --> 00:35:04,730
You think, what, just because
you found me that you won?
752
00:35:04,764 --> 00:35:06,531
He knows we're here.
753
00:35:06,566 --> 00:35:10,601
It's over, Ben.
Time to give up.
754
00:35:10,636 --> 00:35:14,541
No, it is not over!
755
00:35:15,958 --> 00:35:17,191
Ben, listen to me.
You're surrounded.
756
00:35:17,324 --> 00:35:18,792
I need you
to put the gun down.
757
00:35:19,727 --> 00:35:23,497
You know
I can't do that, Nikki.
758
00:35:23,531 --> 00:35:26,766
Ben, I need you to step outside
of your apartment
759
00:35:26,801 --> 00:35:29,268
with your hands raised.
760
00:35:29,303 --> 00:35:32,271
That's not our game.
One of us has to die.
761
00:35:32,305 --> 00:35:36,074
No one has to die.
Somebody always has to die!
762
00:35:40,478 --> 00:35:44,347
And since it can't be you...
763
00:35:44,381 --> 00:35:47,049
Ben.
764
00:35:48,184 --> 00:35:49,918
Go!
765
00:35:49,953 --> 00:35:52,589
Go! Go! Go!
766
00:35:52,623 --> 00:35:54,459
Kitchen's clear!
767
00:35:54,494 --> 00:35:57,029
Bathroom's clear!
768
00:36:01,167 --> 00:36:03,201
We're sending
the gun to ballistics,
769
00:36:03,236 --> 00:36:05,170
but given it's a .45,
it's probably the same one
770
00:36:05,204 --> 00:36:06,972
he used on our other victims.
771
00:36:06,982 --> 00:36:09,082
And probably the same one
he was gonna use on you.
772
00:36:09,326 --> 00:36:11,027
Uh, actually, no.
773
00:36:11,062 --> 00:36:14,664
He was planning something
a little bit more spectacular.
774
00:36:14,699 --> 00:36:16,733
Cell phones?
775
00:36:16,767 --> 00:36:20,804
He was making
a detonator.
776
00:36:23,241 --> 00:36:26,343
Good-bye, Nikki.
Good-bye, Nikki.
777
00:36:26,377 --> 00:36:28,978
He was extracting formaldehyde
778
00:36:29,013 --> 00:36:32,015
from the embalming fluid
he stole to create cyclonite--
779
00:36:32,049 --> 00:36:33,983
A near
military-grade explosive.
780
00:36:34,018 --> 00:36:36,719
When you profiled him, you said
he was probably an arsonist.
781
00:36:36,753 --> 00:36:39,320
I also said
he liked to make a big scene.
782
00:36:39,355 --> 00:36:41,323
Schematics of the precinct.
783
00:36:41,357 --> 00:36:42,358
He was planning on killing you
784
00:36:42,549 --> 00:36:44,583
and taking
the whole station with you.
785
00:36:44,618 --> 00:36:47,786
"Nikki will burn."
I can see the poetry in that.
786
00:36:47,820 --> 00:36:51,056
The terrible,
homicidal poetry.
787
00:36:52,410 --> 00:36:56,112
I just wouldn't have profiled
this guy as suicidal.
788
00:36:56,147 --> 00:36:58,048
I guess once we found him,
789
00:36:58,082 --> 00:37:00,152
it was the only way he could
control the situation.
790
00:37:00,958 --> 00:37:03,726
Well, at least Conrad saved us
the trouble of a trial.
791
00:37:03,761 --> 00:37:07,230
And the best news is,
I'm out of your hair.
792
00:37:08,295 --> 00:37:10,430
The best news...
793
00:37:10,464 --> 00:37:12,665
is that it's over.
794
00:37:27,681 --> 00:37:28,948
Hey.
795
00:37:28,982 --> 00:37:31,050
I thought you went to bed
an hour ago.
796
00:37:31,084 --> 00:37:33,485
I couldn't sleep.
797
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,288
I thought the case
was over.
798
00:37:36,322 --> 00:37:39,324
Oh, it is. Wrapped up
all nice and neat.
799
00:37:39,358 --> 00:37:41,726
That's a good thing, right?
800
00:37:41,761 --> 00:37:44,129
In a book,
that's a good thing.
801
00:37:44,163 --> 00:37:47,098
In real life,
nothing is that neat.
802
00:37:47,133 --> 00:37:49,868
What's got you still up?
803
00:37:49,902 --> 00:37:52,203
Gram.
804
00:37:52,238 --> 00:37:54,239
I can't believe
she's leaving tomorrow.
805
00:37:54,273 --> 00:37:56,207
I mean, yeah,
when she first moved in,
806
00:37:56,242 --> 00:37:59,210
I couldn't imagine having her
around all the time.
807
00:37:59,245 --> 00:38:04,148
But now I...
can't imagine her being gone.
808
00:38:05,204 --> 00:38:06,106
Listen...
809
00:38:06,976 --> 00:38:07,943
It's a fact of life.
810
00:38:09,131 --> 00:38:12,600
People we love leave us.
811
00:38:12,634 --> 00:38:14,468
Unless you chain 'em
to a radiator,
812
00:38:14,502 --> 00:38:17,204
which for some reason
is illegal.
813
00:38:17,238 --> 00:38:21,475
But, uh... knowing her...
814
00:38:21,510 --> 00:38:24,345
She'll be back
in six months.
815
00:38:24,379 --> 00:38:26,380
Oh, good.
You're both up.
816
00:38:26,611 --> 00:38:28,312
Darling, I need you to help me
decide on what to take.
817
00:38:28,505 --> 00:38:30,039
Oh, and I need to get
my bags down.
818
00:38:30,257 --> 00:38:31,725
Richard, could you
give us a hand?
819
00:38:33,035 --> 00:38:33,955
A hand.
820
00:38:34,802 --> 00:38:36,103
What?
821
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:40,653
The bruising pattern
on the second victim--
822
00:38:40,801 --> 00:38:43,636
The killer used
his left hand.
823
00:38:43,670 --> 00:38:46,272
And... you see
his handwriting?
824
00:38:46,306 --> 00:38:49,208
Look at the slope on the "4"
and the loop on the "6."
825
00:38:49,242 --> 00:38:50,343
Yeah. So he was left-handed.
826
00:38:50,589 --> 00:38:53,090
Well, Ben Conrad shot himself
with his right hand.
827
00:38:53,124 --> 00:38:55,291
If the man in the window
was Ben Conrad,
828
00:38:55,326 --> 00:38:58,160
He would've shot himself
on the left side.
829
00:38:58,194 --> 00:38:59,728
Ben Conrad
didn't kill himself.
830
00:38:59,763 --> 00:39:01,866
Ben Conrad was murdered
by the man in the window.
831
00:39:01,901 --> 00:39:03,302
Ben--Ben's not our killer.
832
00:39:03,336 --> 00:39:06,071
The real killer
was just playing with us.
But the evidence--
833
00:39:06,106 --> 00:39:09,106
No, it was--it was planted there
to lead us to Ben.
834
00:39:09,140 --> 00:39:11,374
He wants us to think
it's over.
835
00:39:12,361 --> 00:39:14,295
He wants us to drop our guard.
836
00:39:14,329 --> 00:39:16,232
He wants to make a big scene.
837
00:39:17,245 --> 00:39:18,580
"Nikki will burn."
838
00:39:19,714 --> 00:39:20,681
Beckett.
839
00:39:20,876 --> 00:39:22,976
Oh, God.
840
00:39:23,011 --> 00:39:26,980
Montgomery took the detail
off her place. She's alone.
841
00:39:37,191 --> 00:39:39,028
She's not picking up.
Call the precinct.
842
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,307
Tell them to get over there
right away.
843
00:39:41,342 --> 00:39:43,044
Tell them we were wrong. Tell
them the killer's still alive.
844
00:39:43,439 --> 00:39:45,742
You lock this door behind me.
Don't let anyone in.
845
00:39:45,752 --> 00:39:48,852
Captain Montgomery, please.
Yes, tell him it's an emergency.
846
00:40:06,380 --> 00:40:09,916
Come on, Beckett. Pick up.
Pick up the phone. Pick it up!
847
00:40:24,338 --> 00:40:25,272
What, Castle?
848
00:40:25,354 --> 00:40:27,355
It wasn't Ben Conrad.
He's not the killer!
849
00:40:27,356 --> 00:40:30,558
The killer's still alive!
The killer's still alive!
850
00:40:30,593 --> 00:40:32,727
Good-bye, Nikki.
851
00:40:33,051 --> 00:40:34,585
Kate!
852
