00:00Back up your troubles and roll kit bag and smile, smile, smile Just think of all the items of hang and smile, yeah that's the style
00:18A stabbing, Rick? Isn't that a little pedestrian for you? Usually when you call me it's to ask what happens if you put a head in a microwave
00:41Well this one's a little less made up
00:43The victim is the mother of that detective I've been following around
00:47No
00:49The case has been cold 10 years
00:51I just figured since you're the best forensic pathologist in the city maybe you could catch something they missed
00:56You know reality isn't fiction, right? The odds of finding anyone's killer after 10 years
01:01Astronomical, I know, but I'd appreciate it if you took a look
01:04I'll do what I can, just don't go making any promises I can't keep
01:10Of course not
01:12Thanks again
01:16Get back to you as soon as I can
01:17Appreciate it
01:19What was Dr. Death doing here?
01:21Just a little consulting
01:23Coming to me like you were looking into detective Beckett's mother's murder
01:27Must you always eavesdrop?
01:29Why wasn't eavesdropping having to walk by your office door? I live here too, you know
01:33Yes
01:35I'm aware
01:37So does she know you're poking into her mother's case?
01:40What's the sense of telling her until I find something new?
01:43Well, you ever start to think you're invading her privacy?
01:47I'm not poking through her underwear drawer, I'm investigating her mother's murder
01:51You are digging up her past, darling, without her permission
01:54Now you either tell her or leave it alone
01:56Oh my gosh, Dad!
01:58Dad, Dad, Dad
01:59What is it?
02:00Dad, he asked me! Dad, he asked me!
02:03Who asked you?
02:04Owen, but I told him I had to ask you, but you'll say yes, right?
02:07Because I told him yes, but you have to say yes, so say yes
02:09Yes?
02:10Yes!
02:11Yes!
02:12Yes!
02:13What am I saying yes to?
02:14The junior-senior prom
02:16Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
02:17You are not a junior nor a senior
02:19True, but Owen's a junior
02:21Owen, I thought you said he was only 15
02:23Yeah, he skipped a grade, but he's so cute, Dad, please, please, please
02:29If I say yes, will you promise to stay out past your bedtime, have a good time?
02:34Yes!
02:35Not, not too good a time
02:37Dad, all we've done is hold hands
02:38Ew, okay, please, don't need details, just
02:40So I can go?
02:42Of course you can go
02:44Oh, I'm gonna need a dress
02:48A beautiful dress, a dress, a dress, a dress
02:50Thanks, Dad
02:52So do you like this, Owen?
02:54I don't know, I haven't met him
02:56You are letting her go out with someone that you've never met
03:00What kind of a father are you?
03:07I'm not running a background check on your daughter's date
03:10Oh, come on, she says he's quiet, he keeps to himself, and he lives with his parents
03:13Tell me that doesn't sound like a serial killer to you
03:15Who's a serial killer?
03:17Castle's daughter Alexis got invited to prom
03:19It's her first real date
03:21And you're worried he's a serial killer?
03:22You should be more worried he's a teenage boy
03:24Ah, he's only fifteen
03:25You've been satellite TV and the internet? Fifteen's the new twenty-five
03:29Dude's right, I was fifteen once
03:31Still aren't
03:32If I had a daughter her age, I'd never let her out of the house
03:34Thanks, guys
03:35Car was towed in a few hours ago
03:37Parking violations
03:39When the attendant went to look for the VIN number, he found the Vic
03:42Slumped over with a bag on his head
03:46Six parking tickets and a tow sticker and no one bothers to look inside
03:50Tended windows, sunshine on the windshield
03:52You think someone would try to at least look inside?
03:54Yeah, welcome to New York
03:56Park
03:57You got an ID?
03:58Yeah, Dr. Joshua Leeds, 37
04:01According to the business cards in his wallet
04:03He's a plastic surgeon
04:05The card's also registered him as well
04:07Any money in the wallet?
04:08Yeah, a couple hundred bucks
04:10Well, I guess we can rule out robbery
04:13Plastic bag and duct tape
04:15Not a very efficient way to go somewhere
04:17No, but it's very personal
04:20Alright, find and notify next to Ken
04:22And see how long he's been missing
04:24From the state of decay, I'd say about a week
04:27That matches the date on the first parking ticket
04:29Preliminary cause of death indicates asphyxiation
04:31But I'll run toxicology just in case
04:34The bag's pretty thin
04:35Why wouldn't he just rip it off?
04:37He must have been restrained
04:39That's only half the story
04:41His fingernails were removed
04:43And each finger presents signs of having been broken
04:46Pre-mortem
04:47Broken?
04:48If I had to guess, I'd say our doctor was tortured before he was killed
04:54His fiancee, Courtney Morantz
05:09She reported her missing a week ago
05:11CSU have any luck with the car?
05:13Running prints, testing fibers
05:15We should have results by tomorrow
05:16Alright, thanks
05:17Ms. Morantz, I'm Kate Beckett
05:23I'm the detective working on your fiancee's case
05:26I'm very sorry about your loss
05:28Just wondering if I could take a moment of your time
05:31I knew it
05:33When he didn't come home, I just felt it
05:36How long were you engaged?
05:38Almost a year
05:40We were gonna get married next month
05:42At the gardens
05:43What do they want? Money?
05:46It doesn't appear to be a robbery
05:48Then why?
05:51Was Josh involved in anything that might have brought him into contact with criminal elements?
05:55No
05:56No, not my Josh
05:57That's just not who he was
05:59On the day he disappeared, did you notice anything different about him?
06:01Uh, different?
06:03Did he seem worried, or scared, or distracted?
06:07He was fine
06:08I mean, we were gonna meet
06:10Because we were gonna go taste some cakes
06:14When he didn't show, I called the office
06:17And they said he'd left
06:18So I called his cell phone, but he didn't pick up
06:20If his office was in Midtown
06:22Do you have any idea why his car would be found on 133rd Street?
06:26133rd Street?
06:28He'd never go that far north
06:30He always took the Midtown Tunnel to the LIE
06:32And if he was gonna be late, he'd call
06:36He'd always call
06:38He'd always let me know
06:44Anything on the canvas?
06:45Nada
06:46The locals only remember seeing the car after the tickets
06:49No security cameras on the street
06:51Fiancee's story checks out
06:52Cake shop confirmed she was there waiting
06:54Heading to meet his fiancee at a cake shop in Great Neck
06:56How do you wind up dead on a street in Harlem?
06:58Well, maybe he had secrets even his fiancee didn't know about
07:01Like maybe he secretly made a living out of using his surgeon's skills to harvest organs off of tourists for the black market organ tree
07:07Whoa!
07:09That was a good one, I'm writing that down
07:11So instead of making up stories, we are going to establish a timeline
07:15When did he get his first ticket?
07:18Last Wednesday morning
07:19Okay, so you guys go to the Midtown garage where he kept his car and we'll hit his office
07:22Cool
07:23Okay
07:25Hey, can I ask you something?
07:27Since when do you ask permission to ask questions?
07:30What about your mother's case?
07:31Have you ever thought about reopening it?
07:37What are you doing?
07:40Nothing, I just thought if we worked together
07:43No!
07:45I have resources
07:47Castle, you touch my mom's case and you and I are done
07:51Do you understand?
07:53Okay
08:02Why don't you want to investigate it?
08:08Same reason a recovering alcoholic doesn't drink
08:11You don't think I haven't been down there?
08:14You don't think I haven't memorized every line in that file?
08:18My first three years on the force
08:21Every off-duty moment was spent looking for something someone missed
08:27It took me a year of therapy to realize if I didn't let it go, it was going to destroy me
08:31And so I let it go
08:41Sorry
08:45I didn't know
08:46Yeah, well now you do
09:02Well this must be the place
09:06What is it with men and boobs anyway?
09:08Biological, we can't help it
09:10But doesn't it bother you that they're so obviously not real?
09:14Santa's not real, we still love opening his presents
09:18It wasn't like him to disappear
09:20I think that deep down we all knew that something was wrong
09:25Did he seem agitated at all?
09:26No, I mean it was pretty much business as usual
09:29Except for the wedding
09:30We were trying to clear a schedule for the honeymoon
09:32When was the last time you saw him?
09:34Last Tuesday
09:35He was on his way to meet his fiancee
09:37What time did he leave the office?
09:39Um
09:40Around 5.30
09:41Yeah
09:42When I called at 6 he was fine
09:43He said he was in traffic at the tunnel
09:45He'd left Manhattan then
09:47Why would he come back?
09:50Did Dr. Leeds have any enemies?
09:52Anyone that he had operated on who had had complications or a bad experience?
09:56None of his patients had complications
09:59That doesn't mean that they were always happy
10:02Cosmetic surgery is about self-image
10:04For some people it changes their lives
10:06For others nothing's ever enough
10:08Did any of his patients ever threaten him?
10:10One
10:11J.C. Goldberg
10:13She was a patient of Dr. Leeds until about three months ago
10:16What happened?
10:17She wanted a facelift
10:18So?
10:19So
10:20So surety had three
10:21Dr. Leeds refused to perform the operation
10:24So what'd she do?
10:25She sued him
10:26She sued him
10:27He was thrown out of court of course
10:29That's when the threat started
10:32At the very least she should be arrested for violating the laws of nature
10:40Check this out
10:42Tracy Goldberg's husband Jack had her committed to Bellevue a month ago
10:45For psychiatric treatment for her little obsession
10:48Guess who testified in support of her commitment?
10:50Dr. Joshua Leeds
10:52Mandatory one month treatment program she was released last week
10:55Three days before our doctor went missing
10:57Mentally unstable plastic surgery chick
10:59That is way better than harvesting organs
11:01Get her in here
11:03Wow
11:05Look at her
11:07How can anyone do that to themselves?
11:11Right?
11:12Like she escaped from the island of Dr. Moreau
11:14Come on guys
11:15She's not an animal
11:16She's a human being
11:17Yeah, I know
11:18But
11:19Wait, are you being sincere according to the elephant man?
11:22Oh, saucy
11:26Mrs. Goldberg
11:27I'm Detective Beckett
11:28This is Richard Castle
11:29The consultant at the department
11:31What's this all about, detective?
11:32Mrs. Goldberg
11:33Are you familiar with a plastic surgeon named Dr. Joshua Leeds?
11:36Yes
11:38You recently sued him for malpractice
11:40That's correct
11:41For refusing to perform elective cosmetic surgery
11:43Specifically a facelift, facial implants, and liposuction
11:47I can assure you each procedure was medically necessary
11:51Dr. Leeds didn't seem to think so
11:53Well that arrogant bastard thought he could play God
11:55Well if you wanted the surgery so badly
11:57Why don't you just see another lips?
11:59Doc, doctor
12:01Because I wanted the best
12:04Who is he to deny me the best?
12:06So you threatened to ruin him
12:08Why does he get to tell me what I can and cannot do?
12:11Why does he get to decide what I look like?
12:14Is that why you killed him?
12:16What?
12:17Dr. Leeds was murdered last week
12:18Murdered?
12:19A couple of days after you were released from the psychiatric treatment facility that Leeds helped commit you to
12:24That's motive and opportunity, counselor
12:27I said I'd ruin him, not kill him, big difference
12:30Then I suppose you won't mind telling me where you were last Tuesday night
12:37So, where was she?
12:39She was in the hospital
12:41Getting more surgery?
12:42Yep
12:43What's she got left to operate on?
12:45Oh no
12:47Oh yes
12:48Seriously?
12:49What could they possibly do down there?
12:51Well, apparently quite a lot
12:53But if Leeds had a reputation of turning people away, maybe there's someone else out there pissed off
12:58Yeah, Esposito and Ryan are already looking through the patient list
13:01But the CSU came back clean from the car
13:03It'd be almost impossible for a run-of-the-mill revenge murderer to be that invisible
13:07You think it was professional?
13:08I don't know
13:09Mrs. Goldberg had enough money to pay someone to do it
13:11And her surgery is a pretty convenient alibi
13:14But torture and suffocation, that doesn't seem like the work of a disgruntled trophy wife turning 50
13:19A surgeon with broken fingers? That's someone sending a message
13:30What do you think?
13:32You look beautiful
13:33Dad, you say that about every dress
13:35Don't you think this makes my skin look pasty?
13:38Sweetheart, I want you to know, no matter how you think you look, you are perfect exactly the way you are
13:44You're not helping
13:45Oh, God, no, hideous
13:47Thank you
13:48Here, try this
13:51Alright, good color for you
13:55What are you doing?
13:57What?
13:58You look hideous? Are you trying to give her body image issues?
14:01Oh, newsflash, she already has body image issues
14:04It's an intrinsic part of being a woman
14:06Everyone in the world has some part of herself that she absolutely hates
14:09Her hands are too small, her feet are too big
14:11Her hair's too straight, too curly
14:13Her ears stick out
14:14Her...
14:15Oh, God
14:16Her butt's too flat
14:17Her nose is too big
14:19And you know, nothing you can say will change how we feel
14:23What men don't understand is
14:25The right clothes, the right shoes, the right makeup
14:28Just, it hides the flaws we think we have
14:31They make us look beautiful to ourselves
14:34That's what makes us look beautiful to others
14:38Used to be
14:40All she needed to feel beautiful was a pink tutu
14:43And a plastic tiara
14:45We spend our whole lives trying to feel that way again
14:51Well
14:59What do you think?
15:02I think it's you
15:08Staff just went through all the files
15:10No other red flags
15:11Any dark secrets in here?
15:13Yeah
15:14Dr. Leeds had a weakness
15:17Energy bars
15:18He volunteered at Doctors International
15:20Did pro bono work
15:21This guy's a boy scout
15:22Hell, he didn't even have any porn on his computer
15:24That's weird
15:25I know
15:26You know what he had in his locked desk drawer?
15:27Fit the scotch
15:29Checkbook
15:30The guy locked up his checkbook
15:32What about these folders?
15:34Wedding stuff
15:35Tux deposits
15:36Catering invoices
15:38Maybe some angry couple killed him for their wedding venue
15:41It's as good a theory as any
15:42Hey
15:46These aren't all wedding files
15:53It's odd
15:55All the patient information is blacked out
15:58Maybe Dr. Leeds has a secret after all
16:00It's his handwriting but I've never seen this file before
16:08Can you identify that patient?
16:11Not from his notes
16:12Just that it was a male, 55 years old
16:15How about this kind of procedure?
16:18This is impossible
16:19I'm his primary nurse
16:20I run his surgical team
16:21He never operates without me
16:23Apparently he did
16:25Mario
16:26Check on Dr. Leeds calendar
16:27What do you have for March 18th?
16:31He was supposed to be down at Mercy attending the panel on reconstructive surgery
16:36Why would he lie?
16:40Why would he operate without me?
16:42According to the hospital the procedure lasted nine hours
16:46Neither the assisting nor the anesthesiologist were with the hospital
16:49Both were brought in by Dr. Leeds
16:51Neither of his regulars
16:53A nine hour mystery operation he didn't want his own people to know about
16:56The hospital must have had some record of the patient
16:59Get this
17:00The hospital can't find the files like it never happened
17:03Who did you talk to?
17:04Patient information
17:05Well, that was your first mistake
17:06You want to find someone at a hospital who had a treatment there
17:09There's only one department to go to where nothing ever falls through the cracks
17:15Billing
17:17Someone had to pay for it, right?
17:23Thank you
17:27No, I appreciate it
17:30Well, it looks like our mystery patient's hospital bills were paid promptly and in full
17:34By whom?
17:35Wire transfer
17:37Esposito
17:38Yeah?
17:39See what you can find on this account number
17:40All right
17:41So did Alexis find a dress yet?
17:42Yeah, yeah, cute one too
17:45Boy
17:46I can't believe my little girl's going to prom
17:49My only comfort now is the long-standing tradition of torturing the boyfriend
17:53What do you mean?
17:54You know, the time-honored hazing that goes on in those few moments we share
17:58Where he and I are alone just before my daughter descends the stairs
18:02I remember the terror of meeting my dates, old man
18:05What did he do?
18:06Checked my wallet for condoms, showed me his gun collection
18:08My hands were shaking so bad I could barely put on the corsage
18:12What'd your dad do?
18:14I... I don't know
18:15I was in my room
18:17How was your date when you finally came out?
18:18You know, actually, now that you mention it, he looked terrified
18:23And this whole time I thought he was scared of me
18:25Nope
18:26And now it's my turn
18:28What are you planning?
18:29Something befitting the name of Castle
18:32Yo, you're never gonna believe this
18:35What'd you find?
18:36That account the money was wired from belongs to the U.S. Attorney's Office
18:39Whatever the procedure was, Uncle Sam paid for it
18:42I guess we can rule out boob job
18:44Why would the DOJ pay for a cosmetic procedure?
18:47There's only one reason
18:49To change someone's identity
18:51So you think the guy was in witness protection?
18:53If Dr. Leeds was tortured, I think that our killer is trying to find this guy
18:55We better find him first
18:57How do you find someone who's in witness protection?
19:00We ask the people who are protecting him
19:03Ask Hard Candy? Good luck
19:06Hard... Hard Candy?
19:07Assistant U.S. Attorney Candace Robinson
19:09She makes mobsters cry
19:10I'm sorry, Detective, but you must know that information on a protected witness is confidential
19:16Whether or not you have proof that we employed Dr. Leeds
19:18Or whether or not you have proof that an operation took place is irrelevant
19:23Not to my victim it's not
19:25Not to his family and certainly not to his fiancé
19:29They were planning a life together that they will never have
19:32Look, I am not unsympathetic to your situation
19:35But we all have our jobs to do
19:37Ms. Robinson, doesn't it matter to you that the man that you employed was killed
19:42And whoever murdered him might be looking for your witness?
19:46Detective, you are asking me to expose a witness during an ongoing federal investigation
19:51And I am telling you that is not going to happen
19:54So what now?
19:55This witness of theirs is key without knowing who he is or who is after him
19:59There is no way of getting to the next step
20:01There is another way to figure out who that witness is
20:04Yeah? How?
20:05Candace Robinson's office deals almost exclusively with organized crime
20:08So?
20:09So what if we ask the other son?
20:11You want to ask the mob who the witness is?
20:13Clearly they already know who he is if they are trying to kill him
20:15Like you said, he has got to be a significant witness in a pretty big case
20:18So what do we do, hop in the car, drive down the Bada Bing?
20:21I know a guy, he owes me a favor
20:23You know a guy?
20:25What is this, a Mammet play?
20:26From the early days of Derek Storm
20:28He is a coppo with one of the families, he is actually pretty nice
20:31For a criminal?
20:32I am just saying maybe he knows something
20:34Maybe he can tell us something the feds won't
20:37I keep forgetting he reads plays
20:38I am a friend, I am a friend
20:43Sal
20:44Take him out back
20:45Kill him
20:46Sal, what?
20:47What?
20:48Sal?
20:49It's not him you go
20:50Oh jeez, Sal
20:51It's me, buddy
20:52Fido, Fido
20:53Fido
20:55Fido
20:56Fido

21:09Wait, Fido
21:10Wait, hold up
21:11I was just messing with him
21:17Not funny, Sal
21:18No, you're right, no
21:19It wasn't funny
21:20It was friggin' hilarious
21:23Richard friggin' Castle
21:25Master of the macabre
21:28What brings you down off your cloud of money?
21:30The guy you're talking about, he worked for the Spillano family, Jimmy the rat Moran, he was an underboss, he was a favorite of the old man's, but he got squeezed out by Junior when the old man bit it. Rumor has it that he turned states a few months ago and the Spillanos are running scared. Apparently Moran's got it all. Bills are laden, calendars, ledges, the whole shooting match. Enough to take down all the time.
21:47Well, no wonder he wanted to change his face. Hey, if they got to the surgeons, it's only a matter of time before they get to him. When I wrote Storm Warning, I love that book. Thank you. You told me that certain mob hitmen have signature styles or weapons. That's right.
22:04Okay, well this killer used a plastic bag with duct tape to suffocate his victim. Does that sound like anyone you know? You'd have to ask the Spillanos about that one. Yeah, I don't think they'd like that. Probably not. I bet you I know somebody else who might know. Who? Jimmy the rat.
22:34Jimmy the rat Moran, aka Jimmy Pretty. Been linked to gambling, loan sharking, and extortion schemes. You know, you want a guy to be loyal, you probably should have nicknamed him the rat.
22:45Okay, so let's start off by digging up all known associates of the Spillano family. Yeah, sure. And while we're at it, we'll just bang our heads against a brick wall, you know, just for fun.
22:53Professional hits are the hardest to close. Because of the anonymous nature of the murders, the usual rules like motive and relationship to victim don't apply.
23:02We need to talk to Moran. Gotta see what he knows. Yeah.
23:07What makes you think your friend Hard Candy's gonna cooperate with you now?
23:10You have your sources, I have mine. Oh, it's not your ex-boyfriend, is it? Mr. FBI, tall, brooding, and judgmental?
23:17Why, yes, in fact, it is. Is that a problem? No, not for me. But then again, I'm not the one he's trying to get back together with.
23:25Well, this is a nice surprise. You know, hopefully this is a nice surprise as well.
23:40Sprinkles. Am I really that predictable? Well, maybe I just know you too well. I mean, we did date once. Yeah.
23:48Yeah. Oh, no, thanks. I don't eat sprinkles anymore. Right. It's okay.
23:58Is this the part where you asked me to bend the rules to help you on your case?
24:03Am I really that predictable? Maybe I just know you too well. What do you need?
24:12I want to talk to Jimmy Moran. Jimmy Moran the mobster? Yeah.
24:18What makes you think I can help with that? The FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office have them in witness protection.
24:25And you know this how? Word on the street.
24:28Look, even if it's true, I don't work organized crime cases.
24:35Oh, come on, Will. You and I both know how this works. You reach out to the agent in charge, he talks to the AUSA running the case, and then I get to talk to Jimmy Moran.
24:44And I do this for you. Why?
24:47All right, let me put this another way.
24:49The Spolanos know that Jimmy is cooperating with the government.
24:53We know that they want him dead because they murdered the surgeon you feds hired to change his face.
24:58You guys put that doctor in harm's way, so you're doing it for him, not for me.
25:10This is it. Don't be nervous.
25:13Dad, no, no severed heads.
25:19That's, I, it's time honored.
25:21No.
25:22Richard, really.
25:24Take it off. Come on.
25:27Fine.
25:28Fine.
25:39Hi.
25:40Hi.
25:41Hi.
25:42You look, uh, really nice.
25:44Thanks, you too.
25:45Baby, find the lens.
25:47Dad.
25:48I'm not here.
25:49Oh.
25:50Dad, Graham, this is Owen.
25:52Hi.
25:53Delighted.
25:54Hi.
25:55Pleasure.
25:56Oh, don't they look adorable.
25:57And a corsage.
25:59Oh, ah.
26:00Here, it, uh, it goes on your wrist.
26:02Oh, okay.
26:03I bet.
26:04Oh.
26:05It's beautiful.
26:06It's beautiful.
26:07Ready?
26:08Yeah.
26:09Yeah, okay.
26:10Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa.
26:11That's it?
26:12I don't even get a chance to ask him if he's killed him yet?
26:13Daddy hasn't.
26:15But I might.
26:16All right, get out of here.
26:17Don't do anything I would do.
26:18Bye.
26:19Enjoy yourselves.
26:20Bye.
26:21Oh, my little girl, she's all grown up.
26:28Well, at least one of you is.
26:30Uh.
26:31A severed head.
26:32Ooh, I was just getting started, too.
26:33I was going to break into my Chris Walken.
26:35Whoa.
26:36Tell me, little man, have you ever been to prison?
26:40Very funny.
26:41Very funny.
26:42But leave the acting to me, honey.
26:45Hey, Detective Beckett.
26:47I'm so glad you called.
26:49Regale me.
26:50Castle?
26:51It's my Chris Walken.
26:52What do you think?
26:53Uh, needs work.
26:55In all fairness, part of it's visual.
26:57Listen, Sorensen's on board.
26:58He pulled some strings and got someone at the U.S. Attorney's Office to cave.
27:01He's going to let you question Moran.
27:03But we've got to be there in an hour.
27:04Are you in?
27:05Am I in?
27:06Is the Pope Catholic?
27:07It'll grow on you.
27:10Seriously?
27:11Parking garage?
27:12What?
27:13It's pretty cliche.
27:15Yeah, well, no one said that the feds were original.
27:18Yeah, next thing they'll tell me they'll be pulling up in a black suburban with tinted windows.
27:25Wow, someone's been watching way too many Bruckheimer films.
27:32Five minutes, Detective.
27:33That's all you get.
27:34NYPD, thanks to you for your cooperation.
27:37Want me to watch the monkey?
27:38That's okay.
27:39Monkey comes with me.
27:40Suit yourself.
27:42Hey, I really like your car.
27:44It's very nondescript.
27:53Mr. Moran, I'm Detective Beckett.
27:55This is Richard Castle.
27:57Richard Castle, like the novelist.
27:58Exactly like.
27:59I thought you guys were cops.
28:02He's consulting on the case.
28:04Look, I already told the feds everything I know.
28:07You want info on the Spillanos?
28:08Ask them.
28:09Actually, we're not here about the Spillanos.
28:11We're here about Dr. Leeds, the man who operated on you.
28:14What about him?
28:15He was found murdered last week.
28:16Murdered?
28:18A doc was murdered?
28:19Asphyxiated.
28:20They duct taped a plastic bag over his head.
28:22We believe the Spillanos may have been involved.
28:25May have been?
28:28May have been?
28:29Given how Leeds was killed and given your knowledge of the organization,
28:32we were hoping that you would be able to help identify the...
28:35Hey!
28:36Hey!
28:37What's wrong?
28:38Get me out of here!
28:39We can help, Mr. Moran.
28:41We can find the guys who did this, but you have to let me know
28:43if there was anyone in the Spillano family that kills this way.
28:46Yeah.
28:47Yeah, there is.
28:48Me.
28:49The duct taped the bag.
28:51That was my M.O.
28:52Don't you get it?
28:53They're sending a message to me, and if they got to the doc...
28:57Take me back!
28:58Now!
29:00Hey, how'd it go?
29:01Oh, do the words unmitigated disaster mean anything?
29:05What happened?
29:06We scared a key witness in a huge federal case so bad that now he won't testify.
29:10Oh, is that all?
29:11Beckett, just got a call from DOJ.
29:14Sir, I can explain it.
29:15No, no, it's Sorenson.
29:16On the way back to the FBI safe house with Moran,
29:19someone pulled up next to him and opened fire.
29:21He was in the back with the witness.
29:23They both were shot.
29:25The car was a late model sedan with dealer plates.
29:26Guy pulls up at the light with a mask on, blew the tires, and starts shooting at the back of the vehicle.
29:38I thought the glass would be bulletproof.
29:40They used cop killers.
29:41Teflon rounds went right through the door.
29:46He's still in surgery.
29:47Moran's gonna be okay, though.
29:57You wanna talk?
29:58There's nothing to talk about.
29:59I'm the one who pushed for it, and I'm the one who got Will involved.
30:02There's no way you could have known this was gonna happen.
30:04Are you sure about that?
30:06Because their vehicle was attacked, leaving our meat.
30:09So?
30:10So we were followed.
30:12Someone who knew about the investigation found out about the meat.
30:15We led them to Moran, so yeah, I should have known.
30:18And if I were a better cop, I would have.
30:26You think this is your fault?
30:29Yeah, you pushed for it.
30:31Not because it's your job, but because you care.
30:36Most people come up against a wall.
30:38They give up.
30:40Not you.
30:43You don't let go.
30:45You don't back down.
30:48That's what makes you extraordinary.
30:56He's gonna make it.
30:58He's gonna be okay.
31:15I, uh, I had a good time.
31:20Me too.
31:22Good night.
31:24Good night.
31:25Good night.
31:26Good night.
31:27Good night.
31:40Good night.
31:41Good night.
31:42Good night.
31:43Good night.
31:44Good night.
31:45Good night.
31:46Good night.
31:47Good night.
31:48Good night.
31:49Good night.
31:50Good night.
31:51Good night.
31:52Good night.
31:53Good night.
31:54Good night.
31:55Good night.
31:56Good night.
31:57Good night.
31:58Good night.
31:59Good night.
32:00Good night.
32:01Good night.
32:02Good night.
32:03Good night.
32:04Don't worry, I close my eyes for the kissing part.
32:06Yeah, me too.
32:09You know you didn't have to wait up.
32:11It's my job. I wait up.
32:13I make sure you're all right.
32:16But tonight, I realized I'm not gonna be doing that for much longer.
32:19Dad.
32:20A couple years, you're gonna go off to college, you're gonna get married, you're gonna have kids, and...
32:25I'm only gonna see you on holidays.
32:28Until some gold digger steals all my money, but then I get to move in with you.
32:31Wow, I feel like I just lost 30 years of my life.
32:34That's how it happens.
32:36One day you're in two twos, and the next day you're too old for severed heads.
32:43Dad, don't worry.
32:45No matter how old I get, I'll always be your little girl.
32:49Promise.
32:50Promise.
32:59Now go to bed.
33:00Okay.
33:02And there was more
33:04One day I woke up
33:07And there was more to love of you
33:12That way
33:13You was new.
33:14Next-
33:26ientмы
33:29Let's go.
33:30Huh?
33:31Bye.
33:32Now go.
33:34There was more обнаруж추IC finished.
33:35So did you to pray?
33:37First, take any drink.
33:39Here's the drink.
33:41The desk officer said she came in at 4 this morning.
33:44She's been at the board ever since.
33:46She called us in at 6 a.m.
33:48to recheck every person we talked to on the case.
33:51And she's had, like, nine double espressos.
34:01Hey!
34:02They're reading on the internet about this new thing called sleep.
34:05It's supposed to be real good for you.
34:10When I gave you that little speech last night,
34:12I really didn't mean for you to go all beautiful mind on me.
34:15It wasn't anyone at the U.S. attorney's office.
34:17They wouldn't need us to find him,
34:19so it had to be someone that we talked to.
34:22You don't think it was my mafia connection?
34:24If he's in a rival family,
34:26then they would want Moran alive to testify,
34:28because if the feds take down the Spillanos,
34:30then the other families can take over their territories. No.
34:32We are looking for someone
34:35who had access to the doctor before we got the case.
34:38So that leaves the fiancé and his staff.
34:41Yeah, except the fiancé is clean,
34:43alibied and accounted for last night.
34:45Phone records don't indicate any calls to unknown numbers.
34:48I thought you already ran his staff up.
34:50We did.
34:51And there were no records of anything
34:52to indicate ties to organized crime.
34:54What about last night?
34:55Maggie Dow was at dinner with friends,
34:58Mario Guerrero worked late packing patient files,
35:00and the senior nurse Julia Hammond claimed she was a home alone.
35:03What was Mario doing packing patient files last night?
35:06They're closing up shop.
35:07Patient files are all going to new doctors.
35:09Doesn't that seem like a weird thing to be doing on a Friday night?
35:12Yeah, well, when you're a low man on a totem pole,
35:15that's what life is like.
35:16People think they can call you into work at 6 a.m. on a Saturday.
35:19Julia Hammond and Maggie Dowd, how long did they work for Dr. Leeds?
35:23Uh, Hammond was with him 10 years. Maggie came on a few months back.
35:27Why?
35:28Because our low man on the totem pole, Mario Guerrero,
35:31started working for the doctor about a month ago.
35:34We checked him.
35:35We even called his nursing school. He's clean.
35:37Check again. We can't all be clean.
35:40Where are you going?
35:41To see if Mario was actually at the office Friday night.
35:46Detective, is everything okay?
35:48Mario, I need you to come with me.
35:50Why?
35:51We need to ask you some questions.
35:52Did I do something wrong?
35:55Beckett.
35:56It's Maggie.
35:57What?
35:58Maggie.
35:59We double-checked everything, even called the nursing schools again.
36:02This time, we had him send pictures.
36:04The one of Maggie...
36:07It's a different girl.
36:09It's Maggie.
36:10Where's Maggie Dowd?
36:11She didn't come in today. Why?
36:12Doctor.
36:16Is Dr. Leeds affiliated with St. Marcus Hospital?
36:18Yeah, that's where we do our procedures.
36:20If she has a hospital ID...
36:21She can finish the job.
36:24You're off the hook.
36:27But don't leave town.
36:28The room's restricted.
36:29Need to see your ID?
36:30Sure.
36:31You have a Maggie Dowd on your list?
36:32She's on the roster. You can let her through.
36:33The room's restricted.
36:34Need to see your ID?
36:35Sure.
36:36You have a Maggie Dowd on your list?
36:38She's on the roster.
36:39You can let her through.
36:40The room's restricted.
36:41Need to see your ID?
36:42Sure.
36:43Sure.
36:44You have a Maggie Dowd on your list?
36:45She's on the roster.
36:46You can let her through.
36:47I gotta say, Jimmy, you're a hard man to find.
36:50It took me weeks to even find out that you changed your face.
36:51It took me weeks to even find out that you changed your face.
36:52So do you have a Maggie Dowd on your list?
36:53She's on the roster.
36:54You can let her through.
36:55I gotta say, Jimmy, you're a hard man to find.
36:59It took me weeks to even find out that you changed your face.
37:19Sodium Thoglio Pinto.
37:21It's what they use in lethal injection.
37:23It's not as much fun as a plastic bag, but it does the trick.
37:30Oh, and I got a message from Junior Jimmy.
37:35He says, go to hell.
37:53Hi.
37:59You're under arrest for the murder of Dr. Leeds and the attempted murder of Jimmy Moran.
38:03You too late?
38:05Oh, no. Oh, God.
38:09Oh, don't worry. It's not attached to anything.
38:13It's like we knew you were coming.
38:15Attempted murder of a federal witness. What's that going for these days?
38:1825 to life.
38:23She's all yours.
38:30Looks like you managed to set things right with the U.S. Attorney's Office.
38:33She turned states.
38:34When Moran recovers, the feds will have two witnesses against the Spillanos.
38:37But only Maggie back there can link them to murder.
38:39Oh, but her real name is Carla Dante.
38:41They call her Carla Coldblood.
38:43She's been killing for the family for five years now.
38:46When Jimmy dropped diamonds, Spillanos sent their best.
38:49Lady Hitman, a real blow for women's rights.
38:51And a real Maggie Dowd.
38:53Works for a hospital in Seattle.
38:55She had no idea that they had stolen her identity.
38:57Carla even pulled a recommendation off of a job hunting site in order to apply for the position with Leeds.
39:02Originally, she thought she was going to get a photograph of Moran.
39:05When she couldn't, she went after Leeds.
39:06And then when Leeds didn't talk, she killed him.
39:07But why stay around the office?
39:09If she left before Leeds' body was found, it would have looked suspicious.
39:12And she probably didn't think he'd be sitting around for a week.
39:15And we showed up and she waited to see how far we'd get.
39:18That's good work, Detective.
39:19Very good work.
39:19Thank you, sir.
39:21You know, sir, I never thought that I would be saying this, but I don't think I could have done it without Castle.
39:29Well, where is Castle anyway?
39:31The original M.E. concluded that the stab wounds were random.
39:37Now, maybe the killer got lucky.
39:40But you see this wound here?
39:41Yeah.
39:42It's a low angle thrust to the kidney.
39:45The wound size indicated that the knife was twisted.
39:48Her body would have gone into immediate shock.
39:51What about these?
39:52Well, their angles indicate that they were delivered after she was immobilized and on the ground.
39:57They're just for show.
39:59This is the one that killed her.
40:01This is sounding less like a random killing, more like a targeted murder.
40:07There's more.
40:09On a hunch, I checked the city M.E. files to see if this was an isolated incident.
40:14And found three other stabbings around that time that the M.E. working the case dismissed as random.
40:22Were they related?
40:25Are you sure you want to know?
40:26You have to tell her, you know.
40:36Do you know what this will do to her?
40:38You have information that could lead to her mother's killer.
40:41You can't keep that from her.
40:43I know.
40:44But she said if I opened the file that we'd be through.
40:48It doesn't matter.
40:50She has to know.
40:51No.
40:51Stop making me laugh.
41:11Oh, come on.
41:13It's not like you've been shot or something.
41:18I thought you were over sprinkles.
41:22Maybe not.
41:23Oh.
41:23This is the writer monkey.
41:29What is he still doing here?
41:30I haven't you finished your book yet?
41:34Last chapter.
41:37Do you have a sec?
41:39Yeah.
41:41Fancy cake.
41:43He likes you.
41:45I'll have to forgive him.
41:46He is heavily medicated.
41:47You look awfully serious.
41:53Is everything okay?
41:55Take a seat.
41:58What?
41:59Sit down.
42:00Castle, what's going on?
42:06It's about your mother.
42:07I'm not her father.
42:23I don't know.
42:29Bye, Father.
42:32Bye, God.
