00:00Oh my god, this is quite possibly the worst coffee I've ever tasted.
00:11It's actually kind of fascinating. It tastes like a...
00:15It tastes like a monkey peed and battery acid. Try some?
00:20Don't you have a book coming out today or something?
00:23Yeah, so?
00:24So, you are watching me do paperwork. It's creepy.
00:28Did you have somewhere else to be?
00:30I like it here.
00:34Oh my gosh, I get it. You're hiding.
00:37Your book is coming out today and you are hiding.
00:39No, hiding would be building a fortress out of my comforter and then downing a fifth of scotch,
00:43but apparently that's considered unhealthy.
00:44I thought that you don't care what people think.
00:47I don't. Much.
00:53Beckett. Yeah, right, on my way.
00:58Did Buddy?
01:00Yes.
01:03Set it up.
01:05This the guy?
01:06You heard, huh?
01:07Oh, everyone's heard.
01:08You really base your next character on Detective Beckett?
01:10Every artist needs a muse.
01:13Call me a muse again and I will break both your legs. Okay?
01:16Okay.
01:17Detective Beckett. Jack Clifford and Hall Morrison.
01:20While moving in, they see a rolled up rug sticking out of a dumpster.
01:25They figure it's a lucky day.
01:26They bring it home only to find there's a prize inside.
01:29Dead guy in a rug.
01:30Naturally, we thought of you.
01:31Yeah.
01:3338 caliber, close range.
01:35Killed him instantly.
01:36You got an ID?
01:37Yeah, pockets were empty.
01:38No wallet, no keys, no jewelry.
01:40We figure a robbery gone wrong.
01:41This wasn't a robbery.
01:42This wasn't a robbery.
01:43This wasn't a robbery.
01:44I robbed someone.
01:45I'm not gonna stick around and wrap them up and throw them away.
01:47Blood spatter indicates he was standing near the rug when he was shot.
01:51Where did they find this?
01:52East 3rd, about two blocks away.
01:54Alright, let's get CSU on the rug.
01:56Fibers, blood, identifying marks.
01:59Let's get a team down in the dumpster to see if they can dig anything else up.
02:02Laney, you do what you can about an ID.
02:03Got it.
02:04Don't bother.
02:07I know who he is.
02:15You got something?
02:16Jeff Warren, 48.
02:17Two terms, city council member.
02:18Friend of yours?
02:19I recognize him from the bus side.
02:21He's running for re-election.
02:22Press is gonna be all over this.
02:23Does he have a family?
02:24Yeah.
02:25Well, let's try to notify him before the jackals do.
02:30Mrs. Warren, I know this is difficult, but when was the last time you heard from your
02:33husband?
02:34I...
02:35I called him last night around 11.
02:38He was finishing up a fundraiser and heading back to the office.
02:42Did he always work that late?
02:43During elections.
02:44He believed that it was a politician's obligation to get the people's work done.
02:49Even while running for office.
02:51And when he didn't come home?
02:54Well, it wasn't unusual for him to crash on his couch instead of coming home, but...
03:01When Frank called this morning...
03:04Frank?
03:05Frank Nesbitt, Jeff's campaign manager.
03:10How did your husband sound last night?
03:13What do you mean?
03:14Did he seem troubled, like there was something wrong?
03:18No, he seemed happy.
03:22It doesn't make any sense.
03:24He's a good man.
03:25And he's a good father.
03:26And every day he would go out there and try to make the city a better place.
03:30Every day.
03:31And for him to die like this...
03:33What am I supposed to tell my girls?
03:39You okay?
03:40Yeah.
03:41Why?
03:42It can't be easy breaking that kind of news.
03:56Yeah.
03:57Well, thanks for not making it a joke.
04:00Yeah, I'm a wise ass, not a jackass.
04:02Jackass.
04:03I didn't know there was a difference.
04:06So, what's your next move?
04:09Last person to see him alive?
04:10Establish a timeline?
04:12Grab a donut?
04:13More really bad coffee?
04:14This female detective of yours, exactly how much will she be based on me?
04:18Well, she's not too bright and kind of slutty.
04:21Right, so was that wise ass or jackass?
04:23Actually, that was jackass.
04:24No, honestly, you're not gonna have anything to be embarrassed about.
04:27She's gonna be...
04:28She's gonna be really smart.
04:30Very savvy.
04:32Haunting good looks.
04:34Really good at her job.
04:37And kind of slutty.
04:39Castle...
04:40I should really get that.
04:42Hello?
04:43Oh, sweetheart, I...
04:44Oh, mother, slow down.
04:45What's wrong?
04:46I just wanted to make sure you were all right.
04:48Why wouldn't I be all right?
04:50No one is buying your book.
04:52What are you talking about?
04:53I am standing in the middle of the bookstore and no one is buying your book.
04:57Okay, what are you doing in a bookstore?
04:59I was hungry, I came in for a pastry.
05:02And there they were, all your books just sitting there.
05:06Well, they only just went on sale two hours ago.
05:09What did you expect, to line up the door?
05:11There was one for the last Harry Potter.
05:13Yes, well, uh, Dirk Storm is not Harry Potter.
05:16Clearly.
05:17No one's buying one.
05:18Hang on, kiddo.
05:19Hang on.
05:20Uh...
05:21No.
05:22You okay?
05:23Yeah.
05:24I don't care if it was free.
05:25Even if you pay me, I'm still not gonna take that rug.
05:27You tell me you lived in New York your whole life and you never scored a piece of roadkill.
05:30Roadkill?
05:31It's an accepted practice, bro.
05:32You're done with your old stuff.
05:33You're leaving on the street for those less fortunate.
05:34Artists, students, former hedge fund managers.
05:35It's trickle-down economics at its finest.
05:36Yeah, well, I prefer not to be trickle-down.
05:37I prefer not to be trickle-down.
05:38I don't care if it was free.
05:39I don't care if it was free.
05:40Even if you pay me, I'm still not gonna take that rug.
05:41You tell me you lived in New York your whole life and you never scored a piece of roadkill.
05:42Roadkill?
05:43It's an accepted practice, bro.
05:44You're done with your old stuff, you're leaving on the street for those less fortunate.
05:45Artists, students, former hedge fund managers.
05:46It's trickle-down economics at its finest.
05:47Yeah, well, I prefer not to be trickle-down.
05:48You know that red couch I have?
05:49One you like so much?
05:50Don't you say it, bro.
05:51Fifty-fourth and Lex.
05:52That's gross.
05:53Gross.
05:54We are never playing mad in your place again.
05:56Detective.
05:57Yeah.
05:58Yeah.
05:59I'm dead.
06:00I'm dead.
06:01I'm dead.
06:02I'm dead.
06:03I'm dead.
06:04I'm dead.
06:05I'm dead.
06:06I'm dead.
06:07I'm dead.
06:08I'm dead.
06:09I'm dead.
06:10I'm dead.
06:11I'm dead.
06:12I'm dead.
06:13I'm dead.
06:14I'm dead.
06:15I'm dead.
06:16I'm dead.
06:17You just got in there.
06:18Jeffrey Horne.
06:19Nice work, Scott.
06:20Yeah, Esposito.
06:21No, Ron Ludd's on his phone.
06:22See if he talked to anyone other than his wife.
06:23They found the wallet.
06:24Money and credit cards were gone.
06:25Anything from the neighbors?
06:26The usual, wailing cats, loud TVs, car locks.
06:27I'm dead.
06:28I'm dead.
06:29I'm dead.
06:30I'm dead.
06:31I'm dead.
06:32I'm dead.
06:33I'm dead.
06:34I'm dead.
06:35I'm dead.
06:36I'm dead.
06:37I'm dead.
06:38I'm dead.
06:39I'm dead.
06:40I'm dead.
06:41I'm dead.
06:42I'm dead.
06:43I'm dead.
06:44I'm dead.
06:45TV's, car alarms.
06:46No shots, though, and no blood spatter.
06:48A real robber would've left the wallet where he killed the guy, not where he moved him.
06:52It's a sloppy cover-up, but it does tell us one thing.
06:55This was premeditated.
07:01Excuse me.
07:02Detective Kate Beckett, NYPD.
07:03We're looking for Frank Nesbitt.
07:05Horn's campaign manager.
07:07Ryan, could you give us a minute?
07:09Sure.
07:10We've, uh, called in grief counselors for the kids.
07:13I know it's a cliché, but he meant a lot to all of us.
07:18Well, it sounds like he was more than just a candidate.
07:20We were friends.
07:21We wanted to change the world.
07:23Were you with him last night?
07:24Yeah.
07:25Until about, uh, I don't know, 11.
07:27I offered to share a taxi, but he wanted to walk.
07:30Where was the fundraiser?
07:31Marconi's.
07:3283rd Off-Broadway.
07:33It's just a dozen blocks from here.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Mr. Horn's body was found all the way downtown.
07:39Did he have any enemies?
07:41Well, he was a politician.
07:42What about his opponent?
07:44It's hard to imagine Jason Bollinger doing something like this.
07:47He is eight points up in the polls.
07:49Did Horn or the campaign receive any threats recently?
07:52Uh, just your usual crack boss.
07:54Nothing special.
07:55Unless you count hate mail from Calvin Creason.
07:57Creason, the hotel and club owner?
08:00Owns, uh, Axiom in the Soho Majestic.
08:03Even ran Club Tasty back in the day.
08:04There was this one time.
08:06Some story for another time.
08:08What did Horn do?
08:09Crack down on the ecstasy dealers?
08:10Creason bought that old meat packing warehouse on the Lower East Side.
08:13He wanted to turn it into his next hip hotspot.
08:15300 rooms, sake bar, nightclub.
08:18Neighbors didn't want a bunch of drunken B&Ters running through the streets,
08:21so Horn killed it in committee.
08:23Leaving Creason with millions of dollars of now-worthless real estate.
08:27Creason had a beef with Horn.
08:29It doesn't mean he killed him.
08:30It doesn't mean he didn't.
08:32Excuse me.
08:41Want to know what I did when I found out that he was dead?
08:43I ordered myself an ice-cold bottle of Chris
08:45and toasted the sweetness of the universe, okay?
08:47That's pretty callous, Mr. Creason.
08:49Listen.
08:50What do I care?
08:51What do I care?
08:52This guy was such a putz acting like another hotel going up.
08:55That was going to be the end of the world.
08:56Do you have any idea what one of my properties does for the local economy?
08:59This city should be paying me, not stopping me.
09:02So I guess we could say you had motive.
09:04Who the hell is it?
09:05You a cop?
09:06I say we arrested.
09:07Castle.
09:08Please.
09:09You got nothing here.
09:10If I was going to go around killing everybody that ever got in my way,
09:12there would be bodies stacked higher than the Chrysler building.
09:15I don't need to kill anyone to bury them.
09:17Where were you last night?
09:19I was at my club and saw them.
09:20Anybody see you?
09:21Detective, when I go out, everybody sees me.
09:26Thank you very much, Mr. Creason.
09:29Sure.
09:30I want to take a shower.
09:34Where to next?
09:35To check his alibi.
09:37Actually, that may not be necessary.
09:41Why not?
09:45Castle?
09:46What are you doing?
09:47Promise not to hate me.
09:48I already hate you.
09:49Fair enough.
09:50This morning, with the body, I took a couple of pictures.
09:52You took photos of my crime scene?
09:54Well, you get mad.
09:55I emailed a couple of them to a friend of mine.
09:57You emailed them to a friend?
09:58Well, not exactly a friend.
09:59She's my interior decorator, but then we slept together,
10:02so I don't really know what she is now.
10:03What the hell were you thinking?
10:04I know, right?
10:05You work together, you think it'll be fun,
10:07but then it always makes things weird.
10:09It's a real cautionary tale.
10:11I'm talking about the photographs of the body.
10:14What?
10:15No!
10:16I didn't send her pictures of the body.
10:17I sent her pictures of the rug.
10:19I thought maybe she might be able to tell me where it came from.
10:22And guess what?
10:23She did.
10:29That's the rug.
10:33That's the same rug.
10:34Don't gloat, okay?
10:38Because it's really unattractive.
10:42Now can we arrest him?
10:51I feel you, man.
10:53Yeah, okay.
10:54He didn't ride with the club until after midnight.
10:56So what do we do now?
10:57Wait for his lawyer to show up?
10:58Actually, we follow other leads to something that we call working.
11:01Other leads?
11:02Good.
11:03Since we both know he didn't do it.
11:04Creason?
11:05What makes you think he didn't do it?
11:06Isn't it obvious?
11:07All the evidence points to him.
11:08And that somehow makes him not guilty.
11:10He's totally the red herring.
11:11The red herring?
11:12An innocent character who appears guilty.
11:14I know what a red herring is, Castle.
11:16It's a literary device used in literature.
11:18In real life, we don't dismiss a suspect just because he appears too guilty.
11:22Besides, I thought you wanted to arrest him.
11:25Yeah, because he's a tool, not because he's guilty.
11:28That guy's a multimillionaire.
11:29He's not going to be dumb enough to wrap a dead body up in his own rug.
11:32It doesn't matter.
11:33Those rugs were custom designed for Creason's Hotel, so we know he's connected.
11:36Hey, Esposito.
11:37Yeah?
11:38See what you can find on that rug.
11:40If one went missing, what room it's from, and maybe who had access.
11:43Yeah.
11:44Thanks.
11:45Road trip.
11:50You're very good at bossing men around.
11:53I've noticed.
11:55You're telling me that it's just a coincidence that a man whose murder you celebrated by drinking
11:59champagne was found wrapped in a rug from your hotel.
12:02There are identical rugs in every room of the Axiom.
12:04You can't expect my client to be responsible for their whereabouts.
12:07Sure I can.
12:08Until the jury tells me otherwise.
12:10Ah!
12:11You are wasting my time.
12:13Did I go over?
12:14I told you exactly what I was doing last night.
12:16Right.
12:17You were at the club.
12:18They said that you made quite the entrance a supermodel on each arm.
12:20Uh, yeah.
12:21You know, last time I checked, um, it's not a crime, is it?
12:25No.
12:26But you know what it is?
12:28Memorable.
12:29Witnesses don't place you at the club until 1 in the morning.
12:33And Horn was murdered somewhere between 11 and 12.
12:36Here it comes, eh?
12:38So where were you between 11 and 12, Mr. Creason?
12:41Booyah.
12:43I was asleep.
12:44Asleep?
12:45You were lame!
12:46You were so lame!
12:47You were so lame!
12:48You were lame!
12:49You were so lame!
12:50You were so lame!
12:51Lame!
12:52It's a well-known fact that Mr. Creason sleeps from 6 p.m. to midnight in order to maintain
12:57a late-night presence at his club.
12:59Did anyone witness you sleeping between the hours of 11 and 12 last night, Mr. Creason?
13:04Creason.
13:05Hold on one sec.
13:07Hold on one sec.
13:08Hold on!
13:09I didn't kill him.
13:10I had no reason to.
13:11He was in your way.
13:12Yeah, but not for long.
13:13I knew he was gonna lose the election, okay?
13:14So I didn't have to kill him.
13:15All I had to do was wait.
13:16You couldn't be sure that he was gonna lose the election?
13:17Yes, actually, I could.
13:18What do you know about Jason Bollinger Horn's opponent in the race?
13:21Is the statement ready?
13:22Mike's still working on it.
13:23He's still working on it.
13:24I'm not.
13:25I'm not.
13:26I'm not.
13:27I'm not.
13:28I'm not.
13:29I'm not.
13:30I'm not.
13:31I'm not.
13:32I'm not.
13:33I'm not.
13:34I'm not.
13:35I'm not.
13:36I'm not.
13:37I'm not.
13:38I'm not.
13:39I'm not.
13:40I'm not.
13:41Mike's still working on it.
13:42Well, tell Mike that the Ledger website updates in 20 minutes, and I want my quote of outrage
13:46and sympathy in a damn article.
13:47I'm sorry.
13:48It's been all hands on deck since we found out.
13:50If you don't handle these things right, you'd get crucified.
13:52Mr. Bollinger, I was...
13:53Mr. Bollinger is my father.
13:54Call me Jason.
13:55Okay.
13:56Jason.
13:57How well do you know Calvin Creason?
13:59He threw me a couple fundraisers.
14:00We met a few times.
14:01Why?
14:02Well, he seems to think that you have some information on Horn.
14:05Something that would guarantee you the election.
14:07Castle?
14:08Sorry.
14:09Come on.
14:10Opposition research?
14:11Conducted by a licensed private investigator.
14:12Listen, I want to stress that everything we did was completely vetted by our lawyers.
14:21None of it was illegal.
14:22We were just trying to determine if the councilman had any significant vulnerabilities.
14:26And you found some.
14:27Oh, yes.
14:28Look, politics is politics, but I'm not a bad guy.
14:32I figured as long as I was ahead in the polls, there was no reason to use it.
14:37That's Councilman Horn?
14:42And that is not his wife.
14:47I got to hand it to Councilman Horn.
14:58He is incredibly flexible for a guy his age.
15:02Look at that.
15:03You ever do that?
15:04Would you put those away?
15:05I'm just saying, he's got to do yoga or Pilates or something.
15:08Why is it always the family value guys that get caught with their pants down?
15:11Because the universe loves irony.
15:13And because most people are hypocrites.
15:15And what was that girl thinking that he would leave his wife and kids for her?
15:19That is so sexist.
15:21How is that so sexist?
15:22You assume that just because she's a woman, that she was after a relationship.
15:26Do you ever think maybe she was in it for the sex?
15:28Yes, I did.
15:29And then I saw him.
15:30What was it that turned you off?
15:33That he was wearing a rug?
15:35Too soon?
15:37I just hope that the P.I. can help us.
15:42Beckett?
15:43Yo.
15:44So the rug is a dead end.
15:46According to housekeeping, they dumped a couple dozen of them last week.
15:49Half of them went into the dumpsters.
15:50Half of them were donated to thrift shops.
15:52I already have a boyfriend.
15:54Creason's clientele is known for being hard on rooms.
15:57Right here, do it.
15:58That's fine.
15:59What?
16:00Dude, dude, not cool, not cool.
16:02So you have my car.
16:06You know, I'll push us all up to the back.
16:12Are you sure I can't tempt you?
16:15No, thanks, Mr. Kirby.
16:16I'm on duty.
16:17Oh.
16:18It never stopped me.
16:20You were on the job.
16:2120 years out of the 134.
16:24Of course, back then we had other cops as partners.
16:27Not second-rate novelists.
16:29Yeah, don't get me started.
16:31Uh, excuse me.
16:32Second-rate?
16:33Hot lead poured out of cold steel.
16:35Come on.
16:36It's not exactly Shakespeare.
16:38Will you put that down?
16:39How long were you working for the Bollinger campaign, Mr. Kirby?
16:42Oh, a couple weeks.
16:43But it was a fun one.
16:45Mr. Family Values tells his wife he's gonna work late.
16:48Probably crash at the office.
16:50Twenty minutes later, he is polling his constituency.
16:57And what about the girl?
16:59Well, what I could see, she was worth every cent.
17:01She was a pro.
17:02You don't think with a body like that she's gonna swoon over his stump speeches, do you?
17:06Makes you wonder what else he had a taste for.
17:07And what it led to.
17:08Do you have an address?
17:09Strictly alcohol.
17:11You know, whores used to have street corners.
17:16And now they have websites.
17:21Damn!
17:22Those are some seriously fine five-star claspy misdemeanors.
17:26Dude, between you and me, you ever pay for it?
17:28Are you counting my marriages?
17:30Wait, stop!
17:31That's the girl in the photos.
17:32Ah, look at her.
17:33I had your money.
17:34This isn't phone sex, Ryan.
17:36You don't just pay for the two minutes that you used.
17:39The 800 number is registered to a P.O. box from out of state.
17:42We're gonna have to get Cyber to track down the IP, see where it's hosted.
17:45Well, what if the IP's out of state, too?
17:47We just coordinate with local PDs.
17:48If they want to cooperate.
17:49Sites like these are designed to evade authorities.
17:51We'll get there.
17:52Just take us some time.
17:53Or you could just do it the easy way.
17:57Castle, what are you doing?
17:58Hi, my name's Richard.
18:00I'm a very generous man, looking to arrange a very special date with Timothy.
18:03Please give me a call on my phone, which is 347-555-0179.
18:10Castle, you can't just call and arrange a date with a prostitute.
18:13Why not?
18:14Because we're the police.
18:15No, no, no, no.
18:16You're the police.
18:17I'm just a lonely, upscale gentleman looking for a date.
18:20Bet I find her first.
18:22Hey, there are Rick Castle here?
18:24Right here.
18:25Where do you want it, boss?
18:26Ah, straight through there.
18:28Castle?
18:29You are gonna love this.
18:31No, I'm pretty sure I won't.
18:32Guys.
18:33Guys.
18:34Guys.
18:35Just put it right over there.
18:36Perfect.
18:37Lift your knees, Matt.
18:38Stay here for one second, would you?
18:41Because you guys have been so wonderfully hospitable to me, I just want to return the favor.
18:46And because your coffee is basically crap, I got you an espresso machine.
18:53How cool is that?
18:54I think my phone's ringing.
18:55I don't know how to put this together.
18:56That's part of the delivery, right?
18:57Excellent.
18:58This is a love song you'll never hear.
18:59I don't get it.
19:00If Creason didn't do it, then how does the rug fit in?
19:01Killer probably heard about the feud between the two of them and tried to shift suspicion.
19:03Which is stupid, because without the rug it would just look like a mugging gone wrong.
19:04So by trying to look smart they were actually being stupid?
19:05I think you just described the human condition.
19:06Speaking of the human condition, how's it going with Detective Beckett?
19:07What do you mean?
19:08Oh, come on, Dad.
19:09You are basing a character off her.
19:10And you always say you have to love you.
19:11I don't get it.
19:12I don't get it.
19:13If Creason didn't do it, then how does the rug fit in?
19:14Killer probably heard about the feud between the two of them and tried to shift suspicion.
19:17Which is stupid, because without the rug it would just look like a mugging gone wrong.
19:21So by trying to look smart they were actually being stupid?
19:23I think you just described the human condition.
19:26Speaking of the human condition, how's it going with Detective Beckett?
19:30What do you mean?
19:31Oh, come on, Dad.
19:32You are basing a character off her.
19:34And you always say you have to love your characters.
19:36Well, she is a character.
19:38But, uh, just research.
19:40Nothing more.
19:41Yeah, I'm sure.
19:43Well, found out why your books aren't selling.
19:46Listen to this review.
19:47His work has become so hackneyed, so cliché, that we wonder if Mr. Castle has anything new to say.
19:55It appears the magic, if there ever was any, is long gone.
19:59Oh, darling, I know it's awful.
20:01It's awful.
20:02I'm sorry.
20:03Daggers to the heart.
20:05The Syracuse Times reader.
20:07But don't you worry.
20:08I am going to write them a piece of my mind.
20:10And who cares if they say the magic is gone.
20:13Harper Lee only wrote one book.
20:15You've written dozens.
20:17Of course, hers was literature.
20:18But still, I...
20:20How long do you think I took her to find that review?
20:26Probably all afternoon.
20:27Oh, yeah.
20:28Oh, come on.
20:29You know she does it out of love, right?
20:31I mean, she thinks it's her job to keep you grounded.
20:33Well, I certainly feel grounded.
20:34You have the bridge, number one?
20:36Hello?
20:37Is this Richard?
20:38Yes, it is.
20:39Who's this?
20:40It's Tiffany.
20:41You called me for a date?
20:42Yes, I did, Tiffany.
20:43And I am so glad you called.
20:46Just out of curiosity, what are you wearing right now?
20:47Hey.
20:48Damn, girl, you scared me.
20:49Lainey, you're surrounded by corpses.
20:50Yeah, I don't expect the living after 7 o'clock.
20:53Funny, neither do I.
20:54I'm an M.E.
20:55What's your excuse?
20:56Oh, don't be mean.
20:57You deserve it.
20:58Give me a call.
20:59You deserve it.
21:00Give me a call.
21:01I'm a call.
21:02I'm a call.
21:03I'm a call.
21:04I'm a call.
21:05I'm a call.
21:06I'm a call.
21:07I'm a call.
21:08I'm a call.
21:09I'm a call.
21:10I'm a call.
21:11I'm a call.
21:12I'm a call.
21:13I'm a call.
21:14I'm a call.
21:15I'm a call.
21:16Getting a drink with me after work instead of getting your freak on with Ryder Boy?
21:19Yeah, well, he is annoying, self-centered, egotistical, and completely...
21:24Fun.
21:25And take it from me, girlfriend, you need some fun.
21:31I mean, how bad can he be?
21:37Beckett.
21:38Guess who's got a date with a prostitute?
21:46Richard.
21:47I'm Tiffany.
21:48It's a pleasure to meet you, Tiffany.
21:49Please.
21:50Oh.
21:51A gentleman.
21:52We're a dying breed.
21:53A woman is lucky I found you.
21:55Actually, it's lucky we found you.
21:57Detective Kate Beckett, we need to ask you some questions regarding your relationship with Councilman Jeff Horne.
22:06Sorry.
22:07He was one of my regulars, but I swear I had nothing to do with his death.
22:08How often did you see Councilman Horne?
22:09Once, maybe twice a week.
22:10At first he just wanted to talk.
22:11Right, he paid you just to talk.
22:12Detective, most men come to me because they're lonely.
22:13Because the people in their lives don't listen anymore.
22:14The sex is just a way for them to feel comfortable today.
22:15If not, I'm sorry.
22:17I don't know what she's here.
22:18I don't know what I'm going to tell if I just want to tell you.
22:19No.
22:20I'm not going to tell you.
22:21No.
22:22No.
22:23I'm not going to tell you.
22:24I'm not going to tell you about the thing.
22:25That's going to tell you too.
22:26I'm going to tell Sam.
22:27Please.
22:28I'm going to tell you a little bit of their life together.
22:29I'm going to tell you about the fact that you can talk to me.
22:31That's what I'll tell you about the fact that you can talk to myself,
22:32to talk detective most men come to me because they're lonely because the people in their lives
22:37don't listen anymore the sex is just a way for them to feel connected again okay when was the
22:42last time that you and councilman horn connected a couple of weeks ago he came to me hysterical
22:48he said that he couldn't see me anymore what happened his wife found out i know someone else
22:54he said that he was being blackmailed someone had photos of us who he didn't know at first he thought
23:01it was me he got upset and then he panicked he thought that i had told my friends and did you
23:06i may surprise you detective but i have dreams of my own look this just pays the bills if our
23:13relationship ever went public he's not the only one that would be ruined you said he panicked yeah he
23:20was desperate to find out who was behind it he wanted to cut a deal he said that he couldn't
23:24keep making payoffs without the campaign finding out politics escorts and blackmail this just keeps
23:31getting better councilman was looking for his blackmailer what if you found him he gets violent
23:36blackmailer responds and then tries covering what he's done by implicating creason so all you need to
23:41do is find your blackmailer that's impossible i kept those photos under lock and key no offense
23:46jason but your desk isn't exactly fort knox if somebody knew about them they wouldn't be difficult
23:50to get do you know how many people are in and out of this office no but i would like a list
23:53now wait a minute you intend on opening up an investigation of my campaign with two weeks
23:57left in the election what are you trying to do cost me the race what are you worried about you're
24:01running unopposed not anymore lori horn announced that she's running for her husband's seat
24:06yesterday i had an eight point lead with the sympathy bump by tonight we'll be tied
24:11that we cannot let our personal tragedy stand in the way of my husband's vision for the future of
24:20new york irony is that if i release those photos now the people will love her even more
24:25at least 300 people have access to those photos are you planning on questioning all of them
24:31no they're just for reference horn was worried he couldn't keep paying without the campaign finding
24:36out so so if the money was coming from the campaign then there is bound to be a trail
24:40black man we believe he may have been making payoffs through the campaign
24:54i've known jefford years he's a good man a family man you had no idea none this gets out mr nesbitt
25:05if he used campaign funds to make payments then we should be able to trace him back to the
25:09blackmailer but we need access to your campaign ledgers yeah of course i'll get you a disc
25:13detective
25:17what he did was wrong i'm not excusing it but if you release those photos you'll be doing
25:28irreparable harm to all the good he did in this city
25:30not to mention causing immeasurable pain to his family
25:34these photos are evidence in a murder investigation we have no intention of releasing them
25:41well thank god for that but you should be aware that one way or another these sorts of things
25:48inevitably see the light of day
25:50oh you got something against foamy richness
26:05yeah it annoys me
26:09detective beckett
26:11you cross-reference horns campaign payouts to the volunteers employees of bilinger's office
26:16and the worst series of off book payments totaling 30 grand product bank to bank with no payee just an account number
26:21were you able to track down the accounts oh yeah there's a bruce kirby that pi that took the pictures
26:31he is your blackmail did you run him up of course real peach lost his badge for excessive force
26:36on probation for criminal intimidation and he has registration for a 38 same caliber that killed councilman horn
26:42oh it's good that's the stuff yeah it's good man flavor country
26:53what i figure i got the photos the gutless punk isn't gonna use them what else shouldn't i because
27:03it's illegal hey i'm not the one that was dipping my churro and sugar nearly half my age the guy had it
27:09coming except he found you out he came after you yeah so what happened kirby he loses cool he get
27:14violent what no he put a round in his head and tried to pin it on crecent
27:21sherlock i didn't kill him he was coming to meet with me yes with a proposition he wanted to know what
27:28it would take to make it all go away forever what did you tell him i thought what the hell 250
27:34thousand i never thought he'd say yes he did he got the money the night he was killed he was coming
27:39to meet me with it he never showed
27:45what do you think waiting to receive a blackmail payoff from the vic
28:07my three-year-old son could come up with a better story than that so bad it might be true yeah well
28:11we got a team tossing his place for the weapon book him on the blackmail till we see what the search
28:14turns up in the meantime follow the money if this bozo is telling the truth then horn had a quarter
28:18million dollars on him when he was killed yeah so where's the money and where does the underpaid
28:22public servant get it from in the first place i need to go where all politicians go to people who like
28:31people who gave him money before
28:42what happened to jeff horn was a tragedy not just for his family but for all of us he served
28:48and even though violence stole his life his wife is here with us today refusing to let violence steal his
28:55dream of a better new york ladies and gentlemen laurie horn
29:05thank you thank you so much we all know it should be my husband speaking with you today
29:12it should be his calming voice not mine that you hear this is a city council race not the u.s senate
29:20we rely on thousands of small donations not a few big ones well some of them must have deep pockets
29:24well the depth of those pockets is limited by the law and if it wasn't limited by law did horn have
29:29any supporters that would be willing to go the extra mile detective with all due respect there's no way
29:37in hell i'm helping you start a witch hunt against our top supporters now you want to go through our
29:42campaign contributors fine that's a matter of public record but anything else and you're on your own
29:49okay
30:01hey hey finished your homework yeah you want to finish mine well that depends how much you're offering to
30:08pay me oh i thought you will jeannie called she wanted me to remind you about the reading and book
30:14signing in broadway books tomorrow night oh that was nice of her yeah and if you don't show she will
30:20drip honey on your eyeballs and let loose 100 fire ants okay what's worse 100 fire ants on your
30:26eyeballs or reading to a crowd prose so bad it sent me screaming out into the snow you know if you
30:34really want to feel sorry for yourself you should read the review in the legend really what's that damn
30:38liberal elite media saying about me now richard castle's stirring finale reminds us what good
30:45pulp fiction is all about it makes us desire a world of startling imperfection so we can rise above and
30:51become the heroes we always imagined ourselves to be used to be such a good paper to see it fallen so
30:57far it's sad really shut up i'm proud of you well you remember that next time i sing the peanut butter
31:03song in front of your friends have you caught the killer yet no hey if you were in a lot of trouble
31:10and you needed a quarter of a million dollars where would you get it i just ask you
31:15i just ask you
31:45hi hi something i need to show
32:15i found this in the archives from his first run for office see horn wasn't wealthy but his wife
32:24came from money she tapped into her family trust to finance his first campaign all this time we
32:29thought that horn was hiding his affair from his wife yeah but what if she knew about the affair
32:34what if he got the blackmail money from her
32:36yes ma'am account number seven three seven eight eight one oh three according to the
32:45administrator of the family trust mrs horn marketed about three hundred thousand dollars worth of
32:49stocks last week she knew bank records indicate the funds will have drawn two days before the exchange
32:56her husband's killed two hundred fifty thousand dollars goes missing she doesn't say a word
32:59of course i didn't say a word it's none of your damn business despite the fact that it could have
33:04had significant bearing on your husband's murder i have a family detective beckett their father is dead
33:10what use is dragging their names through the mud providing fodder for late night comedians
33:15when did you know the trust called to confirm the stock sale my wonderful husband forged my signature
33:21on the papers thinking i would be too stupid to notice and when i confronted him he claimed he
33:26needed the money for tax reasons reasons that i wouldn't understand but i understood all right
33:33everything that i wanted everything that i wanted us to be and he can't keep his fly zipped
33:40so what'd you decide to do between public humiliation and blackmail i chose blackmail and i told him to make
33:47it go away so what do you think happened that night i don't know okay so that night when he called
33:58what did he actually say that he had the money that he was going to meet the guy and that was the last
34:04thing he said to me and god knows what happened after that and you're sure that he had the money yes
34:09why because we found it at your house
34:13my house the search warrant was served this morning your housekeeper was very cooperative
34:22if your husband had the money when he was killed how did it get back to your house
34:30you were more than angry weren't you you were outraged
34:34he didn't just betray you he humiliated you and everyone was going to know and so you just decided to
34:40make it go away
34:49you see those wives in the inevitable press conference standing stone-faced next to their
34:55men and you think how do they do that how do they just stand there how do they watch as their whole
35:03world melts into a spotlight of shame and so you killed him no no i i was home you called your
35:12husband at 11 pm what did you say i i was with my daughter conspiracy to commit murder is the same
35:17as murder whether you were there or not are you ready to deal
35:30it was my job to make the call
35:35i was supposed to tell him that the blackmailer changed the meat
35:38i was supposed to tell him where to go down by the underpass where no one would see
35:51he had it all arranged even that rug for his body all i had to do was make a call
36:08he said he would make everything like it was he said he would make it look like someone else did it
36:24he said no one would ever know mrs horn lori i need to know who it's not supposed to be like this
36:33we were friends and we were going to change the world
36:44frank nesbitt you are under arrest for the murder of jeff horn
36:48what that's ridiculous mrs horn doesn't think so cuff him
36:53mr nesbitt you have the right to remain silent hey hey hey
36:59stop running bro campaign's over yes wasn't quite finished back there mr nesbitt
37:09you have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of
37:13law after we found the weapon in nesbitt's office he made a full confession he got horn to call her
37:18husband and get him down to the overpass and then he took care of the rest politics was nesbitt's life
37:23he figured if the scandal broke his career would be over and he'd be damaged goods sad thing is he
37:28was probably right so what happens to the girls horn had a sister upstate she's coming down tomorrow
37:33to pick him up from social services good in the rug i read harry nesbitt heard they were dumping a
37:38bunch of them figured it would keep us off his trail nice work very impressive
37:43oh and uh you too beckett sir just shaking your chain detective just shaking your chain
37:54hello hey dad where are you where am i supposed to be fire ants eyeballs right uh stall for me i'm on my way
38:02move straight she stood there in stunned disbelief as the light in his eyes dimmed
38:14he reached out for her and she took his hand squeezing it for the very last time
38:22she felt her heart stop a beat and in that moment she knew he was gone
38:27darkness fell across the face of the city and across her face as well
38:35good she thought as the wind gathered up her hair no one
38:41good she thought as the wind was gone
38:52you'll see my tears
38:53I don't know if I would say that that is.
39:11Detective Beckett, to what do I owe this very unexpected pleasure?
39:16Excuse me. Thank you.
39:19I just figured if you're going to bother me at my work, I should bother you at yours.
39:23That was quite a reading. Very moving.
39:27Are you making fun of me?
39:29Good, she thought. As the wind gathered up her hair, no one will see my tears.
39:38How does wind gather up hair? I'm just curious.
39:40Oh, you're telling me how to do my job.
39:42Irritating, isn't it?
39:43Oh, look at you.
39:47Denise from the ledger says you're going to be number one this week.
39:50And look, everyone is buying your book.
39:53Now, don't you feel silly for believing all those reviews?
39:56Yes. Yes, I do.
39:58Well, let's just hope Nicky Heat does as well.
