00:00There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people.
00:03Psychopaths and mystery writers.
00:05I'm the kind that pays better.
00:06Who am I?
00:07I'm Rick Castle.
00:08Castle.
00:09Castle.
00:09I really am ruggedly handsome, aren't I?
00:11Every writer needs inspiration.
00:13And I've found mine.
00:14Detective Kate Beckett.
00:15Beckett.
00:16Beckett.
00:16Nicky Heath.
00:17The character he's basing on you.
00:18And thanks to my friendship with the mayor, I get to be on her case.
00:21I'd be happy to let you spank me.
00:23And together we catch killers.
00:25Make a pretty good team, you know.
00:26Like Starsky and Hutch.
00:27Turner and Hooch.
00:28You do remind me a little of Hooch.
00:30Oh, I've got a crush on you.
00:42Skull and bones.
00:45Rock and roll.
00:47Magpie.
00:48Oh, I've got a crush on you.
00:51Fertile fly.
00:53Laser eyes.
00:55Freedom flies.
00:57Oh, I've got a crush on you.
01:00Check your six maverick.
01:10This is your captain up and on the mouse.
01:12Listen up, ladies and gentlemen.
01:14Our fugitive has been on the run for 90 minutes.
01:16We're in the pipe.
01:17Let's keep our feet dry this time.
01:19Jungle radio.
01:20This is One Delta Bravo.
01:22Eyes on suspect.
01:23Requesting back up.
01:24Over.
01:25Requesting permission to deploy laser-activated radioactive immobilizer.
01:30Permission denied.
01:32Really?
01:33Richard, I have all of these new lines to learn before my play goes into rehearse.
01:37I'm going in.
01:39If that comes any closer, you're going to have Black Hawk down on your hand.
01:42Ah!
01:43What's all this?
01:48Official police tactical training.
01:50Oh, hey, Dad.
01:50Did you get a chance to sign that permission slip I gave you the other day?
01:53Haven't you learned to forge my signature yet?
01:55Credit cards, yes.
01:56Permission slips, no.
01:57It's for my civics class.
01:58Every student has a three-day volunteer internship at one of the city's agencies.
02:02Law enforcement, sanitation, fire.
02:04I'll go with fire.
02:05They have the best calendars.
02:07I went with law enforcement.
02:08Detective Beckett already said it's cool if I volunteer down at the station.
02:10Oh, well, as a member of the NYPD volunteer squad, I would be happy to show you the ropes.
02:15Actually, Detective Beckett is giving me my orientation course tomorrow morning.
02:19Then I would be honored to carpool with you or share a cab.
02:26Cash?
02:28Prelims suggest victim died of a single gunshot wound to the chest at close range.
02:33Any signs of struggle?
02:35Contusions coming up here and here, but it's likely a result of his tumble down the trash chute.
02:45What?
02:46What are you doing?
02:48Well, I can't breathe through my nose.
02:49I happen to have a very acute sense of smell.
02:52Suck it up, Castle.
02:53Real cops deal with worse.
02:54Yeah, not to mention medical examiners.
02:56Do you know how long I have to shower before heading out on a date?
03:01No, but if you need someone to time it for you, I'd be happy to have...
03:03Found it!
03:07That must have fallen on his jacket on the way down.
03:11Yep, that's our guy.
03:12All right, the name is Sam Parker.
03:14And the driver's license has his address placed in Connecticut.
03:18Maybe he's visiting someone in the building.
03:20You're being dropping by?
03:22Brian here.
03:24Thanks, bro.
03:25Esposito's up on 15.
03:27Says he found out where our guy was shot.
03:29All right, let's go.
03:30When the blood's better, our guy was shot right here.
03:38Then...
03:39You shoved head first down the chute.
03:43A killer who cleans up after himself.
03:45Very American psycho.
03:46He probably wanted to get out of the building unnoticed.
03:48Figured that the dumpster wouldn't be emptied for a couple of days.
03:51He didn't count on a tenant on the seventh floor.
03:53A hottie.
03:55Seen the body drop as she threw out her pizza box.
03:58Is she distraught?
03:58Because I can be very comforting.
04:00CSU's?
04:01Team's on its way.
04:02Neighbors didn't hear the shot.
04:03Uh...
04:04Poor man's silencer.
04:07Must have picked it up from this pile here and then thrown it back when he was done.
04:10Resourceful.
04:11How did a clean-cut suburban guy end up this far from home, dead and thrown out with the trash?
04:22Are you ready?
04:23Here we go.
04:31I know Alexis already talked to you.
04:32I just wanted to make sure that you're really okay with having her here.
04:35I wouldn't have said yes if I wasn't.
04:37Well, yeah, but you're busy and I just don't want her to be in the way.
04:41Big Castle is the one who likes to get in the way.
04:43I'm sure Little Castle will be a pleasure.
04:45Sam Parker.
04:46Age 38.
04:47Lives in Connecticut with his wife, Helen, and his two kids.
04:49Wife's in route to the morgue to ID the body.
04:51We contacted the leasing office and they don't have a Sam Parker listed as a tenant.
04:54So he probably was visiting someone.
04:56Uniforms are canvassing.
04:57No hits yet.
04:58CSU's working to untangle the prince, but since it's a common room, there's probably dozens of them.
05:02However, the chute handle, doorknob, and soda bottle were all wiped clean.
05:07All right, let's go visit the wife at the morgue.
05:08Maybe she can tell us what he was doing in the city tonight.
05:10And if she doesn't know, that tells us something too.
05:12Mm-hmm.
05:13What do you...
05:14Fresh.
05:16And hot.
05:16And hot.
05:17And hot.
05:18He doesn't make me coffee.
05:22You okay?
05:22This is never easy.
05:24No matter how much experience you have.
05:26I'm Detective Kate Beckett.
05:34I'm with the NYPD.
05:35I'm very sorry for your loss.
05:37Do you have any idea who did this?
05:40We are doing everything we can to figure that out.
05:47Excuse me.
05:47We're in the middle of an identification.
05:49That's why she's here.
05:52And you are?
05:53I'm here to identify my husband.
05:55Oh, my God.
05:59Excuse me?
06:00Your husband?
06:03What's your relation to the victim?
06:05I'm his fiancée.
06:06I'm sorry.
06:07What did you just say?
06:09I'm his fiancée.
06:11I'm his fiancée.
06:12Dude, you are so busted.
06:39I don't even know how to get the children out of here.
06:41I'm just kidding.
06:43Is that our bitch's wife?
06:46Fiancée.
06:47The wife is over there.
06:51Come again?
06:53Fiancée?
06:53Mm-hmm.
06:54Wife.
06:56Mm-hmm.
06:58Oh, boy.
06:58I know.
06:59Isn't it delicious?
07:01Okay, who do we talk to first?
07:04Mm-hmm.
07:04I know this is difficult, Miss Reed, but if we could ask you a few questions.
07:14How long did you know Mr. Parker?
07:18Parker?
07:19Sam.
07:20His name's Jake.
07:22Jake Holland.
07:23Um, according to his driver's license, it's Sam Parker.
07:29It was all a lie?
07:32Even his name?
07:35Where did the two of you meet?
07:37At work.
07:38A girlfriend of mine said that there was this great guy in her department, and did I want
07:42to meet him?
07:43And when did you two last speak?
07:45This afternoon.
07:45He called to say he was on his way back to the city.
07:48His father is in the hospital upstate.
07:50He has late-stage Alzheimer's, and Jake would drive up to see him every...
07:57I'm so stupid.
08:01He was spending the weekends with his wife.
08:06So you were intending to see him tonight?
08:09We were going to get takeout and watch a movie.
08:12A neighbor stopped me in the hallway and told me that the police had been there, but when
08:16I called, nobody could tell me anything.
08:18I guess now we know why.
08:19Because we ID'd him as Sam Parker.
08:21Somebody at the morgue confirmed that a body had been picked up at his address, so I went
08:26down there.
08:29When he proposed, I told my best friend, and she was all...
08:34We've only known him six months, but I didn't care.
08:39He was the one.
08:43How could he do this?
08:45This is insane.
08:47Who is this woman?
08:48Sam would never.
08:49Sam would never.
08:50He...
08:51He loved me.
08:52Our kids meant everything to him.
08:54Apparently, there was more to it than just the affair, Mrs. Parker.
08:57Your husband was using a false name at his job.
09:00Well, I don't understand.
09:01Why would he do that?
09:02We're still trying to figure that out, but from what we understand, he met Miss Reed at
09:06his office.
09:07He started there about six months ago.
09:10He'd been passed over for promotion at his old firm.
09:14There are not a lot of opportunities in Green Solutions, so he took the job, even though
09:20it was in the city.
09:21Green Solutions, as in environmentally conscious.
09:24He did corporate consulting.
09:26I had to reduce waste, save energy.
09:29It was a passion of his.
09:31It's very commendable.
09:32Well, all that working and commuting were running him ragged, so he found a cheap sublet.
09:38It was hard, but if it all worked out, we were going to move down to the city so that
09:43we could all be together.
09:45Mrs. Parker, did you have any idea that your husband was having an affair?
09:50I know what you're thinking.
09:52Why didn't I notice the signs?
09:55We have two children together.
09:57We do not have a nanny, so every second of every minute of my day is about my kids.
10:02And if there was an issue, I'd call Sam on his cell phone, and he would always answer.
10:10I never, never thought I'd be sitting here justifying my marriage.
10:16With the wife, it was only call my cell during the week routine.
10:20With the fiancee, it pulled out the trustee, I can't call you from the hospital act.
10:23Man, my girlfriend freaks out if I don't check in like every hour.
10:27You do check in like every hour, sometimes more.
10:31This guy had both of these women believing that they were his one and only.
10:35People believe what they want to believe.
10:37Until the dead truth sets in.
10:38Wait, you think one of them caught on to what Sam was doing?
10:40And didn't take too kindly when they discovered they weren't the only woman in his life.
10:43Hmm, I don't know. They seem pretty shocked to me.
10:46Yeah, to me too. But we gotta cover all of our bases.
10:49Both of them had soft alibis.
10:51The wife said that she was watching TV while the kids were upstairs sleeping,
10:55and the fiancee said that she was home alone getting ready to meet him.
10:58We'll run phone and financials, see if anything pops.
11:01Could I run right?
11:03Do you think he would have gone through with it?
11:06Through with what?
11:07Marrying Sarah if he hadn't gotten killed.
11:10Well, it was a pretty big rock he put on her finger with the fake identity he had set up.
11:15The county clerk's office never would have flagged him for someone who was already married.
11:18Yeah, but Sam was pretending to be Jake before he met Sarah.
11:21I don't understand the fake identity.
11:23Maybe to land the job.
11:24I understand fibbing on your resume, but changing your identity, the math doesn't quite add up for me.
11:28You know what math doesn't add up for me?
11:30Hmm?
11:31Two wives.
11:32One wife too many for you?
11:33Two wives too many.
11:34Seems like the common denominator in that equation is you.
11:37Good news!
11:38I'm finally embracing the lecture you gave me on the importance of organic food.
11:56You made my lunch.
11:57You think I'm gonna let you risk your life on the vending machines and stale doughnuts of the break?
12:02Wow.
12:03What?
12:04You look so...grown up.
12:11Really?
12:12Really.
12:13Well, Graham said presentation is vital.
12:17Well...
12:18Oh, I forgot my phone.
12:24That ever happen to you with me?
12:26One day you look and you see your boy is all grown up?
12:29I was still waiting for that moment, actually.
12:31I set you up with that, didn't I?
12:33Okay, so this is the property room.
12:38It's where we keep all the items that we find at a crime scene that aren't classified as evidence.
12:43Sort of like a lost and bound?
12:45Um, sort of.
12:47Why don't the victim's families claim this stuff?
12:50Well, loved ones are aware of the big ticket items, like rings and watches, but things like sunglasses and lighters, those usually go unclaimed.
12:57Are these case numbers?
12:59Exactly.
13:00So, the idea is to get rid of all of this stuff and stick it into storage, but before we do that we have to catalog it just in case someone comes in with a claim.
13:07Okay, so you need a description of every item, along with its corresponding case number, downloaded into the database.
13:12Mm-hmm.
13:13And I know that this isn't exactly what you were thinking of when you asked to volunteer, but we're low on manpower and this would be very helpful.
13:18Don't worry about it.
13:19This place is going to be so organized when I'm done you won't even recognize it.
13:21I bet I won't.
13:23Detective Beckett?
13:24Huh?
13:25I know my dad can sometimes be a handful, and by sometimes I mean all the time, but I want to let you know you don't have to worry about me. I'm about getting the job done.
13:34Beckett?
13:35Sir.
13:36Hello?
13:37Alexis?
13:38She's fine.
13:39You know, our first day of preschool, I hid outside in the bushes all day just to make sure she was all right.
13:53First time my son went to summer camp, I followed the bus all the way to the Adirondacks.
13:57You two are both either very sweet or very creepy.
14:01Super led us into Sam Parker's apartment.
14:04Jake Holland's apartment.
14:05Same guy.
14:06Yeah, just trying to keep it straight forever.
14:08Anyway, there was no signs of a struggle when Sam's bag was...
14:10Jake's bag.
14:12...was still sitting by the door from when he came home from visiting his family in Connecticut.
14:16Which explains why we found the Sam Parker wallet on when he was killed, as opposed to this one we found in his dresser.
14:22Jake Holland's wallet.
14:23It's got his driver's license with his New York address, work ID, the whole shebang.
14:28Oh, please tell me that's the whole double-sided picture frame gag.
14:32A lovely fiancee, which can easily be swapped out for the wife and kids, should they ever visit daddy in the big city.
14:39Big news is, we found this sitting on the kitchen counter. There's a voicemail you're going to want to hear.
14:43I'm not going to let you get away with this, you worthless piece of trash.
14:47If you don't call me back tonight, then my next call is to Helen.
14:50Someone caught on to Sam's double-life.
14:52Ran the number. Belongs to one Charles DiPetro.
14:55DiPetro? That's his wife's maiden name. It's hyphenated on her driver's license.
14:58Mm-hmm. Charlie is Helen's brother.
15:01He found out what Sam was up to.
15:03And decided to take out the trash.
15:05Mr. DiPetro, I can understand the instinct of protection.
15:15If I had a sister and her husband was cheating on her, I'd want to set him straight too.
15:19That's not why I left the message.
15:20Did you know that Sam was cheating on Helen?
15:22Not until she called me last night and told me he'd been killed.
15:25Then what did you mean when you said, I won't let you get away with this?
15:28He owed me money.
15:30So, Sam borrowed money from you?
15:3320 Gs. He needed it to cover the mortgage.
15:36He had already borrowed against the equity in the house.
15:38And what was the arrangement?
15:39He said he needed a couple months.
15:41And when he started the new job in the city, I figured he'd be making more dough.
15:44Helen didn't know about this.
15:46He didn't want her to worry. And as long as he paid me back, I said it'd be our secret.
15:50And did he pay any of it back?
15:52Not a cent. He kept saying he was pulling in less money. I thought he was lying.
15:57And why take the job that far from home and force Helen to deal with the kids on her own?
16:01Comes out now, he wasn't doing it for his family. He wanted the freedom to cheat on my sister.
16:07Brother's alibi checked out. He was working late when Sam Jake was shot.
16:13Any word on Parker's financials?
16:15Yeah, they were paycheck away from defaulting on their mortgage.
16:17You know, the brother said that Sam was pulling in less money at his new job.
16:21If Sam was strapped for cash, why would he quit the job he had to take one that paid less?
16:25Didn't his wife say he was passed over for a promotion? Maybe it was a pride thing.
16:29Yeah, but you factor in the sublet, not to mention gas, that's a high price to pay for pride.
16:34Yeah, we'll never underestimate the fragility of the male ego.
16:37Oh, see, that's just a stereotype.
16:38No, no, that's... she's baiting us. All right? Just ignore her and she'll lose her witchy powers.
16:43You wish. All right, let's go off to Parker's office.
16:46There's something?
16:47Um, where, where, uh, where's my broom?
16:51I was looking.
16:52Yeah.
16:53For the record, I did not.
16:55I don't know, maybe I should have seen it. His resume was almost too good to be true.
16:56Top of his class at Berkeley, Stanford Business School. He must have really needed this job to lie so bad.
17:01So there's no other reason you could think of as to why he lied?
17:02No.
17:03When you hired him, did you look into any of his references?
17:04Of course I did, Detective. I called him on myself. And I got nothing but glowing recommendations.
17:08For a guy who didn't exist.
17:09I'd like to take a look at a copy of his resume if you still have it.
17:11I'll have human resources email it over to you.
17:12Uh, before we go, did you know that Mr. Parker was romantically involved with one of your employees?
17:14Sarah. Yeah, she's one of my best engineers.
17:38Yeah, she's one of my best engineers.
17:42Ever notice any drama there?
17:44Drunken fighting at an office party, that sort of thing?
17:46No, never.
17:47They actually seem like a pretty solid couple.
17:50And she must be going through hell right now.
17:54We're sorry.
17:55The number you have reached is not in service.
17:58Please check the number or try your calling.
18:00That's the last one.
18:01Every single reference he gave is suddenly out of service?
18:04When according to his boss, they're all up and running six months ago?
18:06So who's answering the dummy lines?
18:09Let's get a warrant for all these numbers.
18:10I'd like to know who they were registered to.
18:12Okay.
18:16This guy went to some pretty serious lengths to get this job.
18:19He must have amazing dental.
18:22Yo.
18:23I don't know where you got this work ethic, but it certainly was not for me.
18:28How's it going?
18:29Pretty good.
18:30The computer was a little glitchy at first,
18:31but that's because no one had run a software update in like two years.
18:34Plus it picked up some viruses at the zap.
18:36I aren't realizing that you are way overqualified for this job.
18:40Told you she was this smarty.
18:41But I do have one question.
18:43Like you said before, most of the items here are pretty junky and meaningless.
18:46I did find this though.
18:51Oh, it's a brag book.
18:52So you can brag about your kids.
18:53I used to have one in my wallet.
18:54Now it's on my phone.
18:56Some of the pictures are really old.
18:57Like they're one of a kind.
18:59Seems like something worth returning, only it wasn't tagged or anything.
19:02Yeah, but the problem is, is without a case number,
19:04it's difficult to find out who the victim was and how to get this back to the family.
19:09Okay.
19:10So then it just goes in the storage box, right?
19:13I'll tell you what.
19:14I'll give you a list of all the detectives who possibly worked this case.
19:18Show them the pictures.
19:19Maybe it'll strike up a memory.
19:21Only don't bother them if they seem busy.
19:22You're one to talk.
19:24Thanks so much.
19:25Excuse me.
19:27Beckett.
19:28Hmm, what's this?
19:30Dad.
19:31Okay, I'll be right there.
19:34My fiance's here.
19:35She wants to talk.
19:36Have fun.
19:43I knew she looked familiar at the morgue, but I couldn't place it at first.
19:46So you're saying that last night wasn't the first time you had seen Helen Parker?
19:50Well, there was something about her face, and then it hit me.
19:53I had seen her in front of Jake's apartment a couple weeks ago.
19:56Was she leaving the building?
19:57No, she was sitting in her car across the street.
20:00And you're sure it was Helen Parker?
20:01I'm sure of it now.
20:03Positive identification from all the way across the street in a car?
20:06I made a note of it because the way she was staring at me was creepy, like she was sizing me up.
20:11Miss Reed, the past 24 hours have been overwhelming, to say the least.
20:18It's not uncommon for witnesses' memories to be confused after a traumatic event.
20:23We just need to be absolutely sure.
20:25Look, I know what I saw.
20:27She was sitting in a silver hybrid, staring at the front of the building.
20:30And did you tell your fiancé about this?
20:33No, at the time I just dismissed it, but now...
20:37It makes me wonder if I'm the only person in the whole situation who didn't know what was really going on.
20:42Silver hybrid.
20:51I guess Helen did know about her husband's affair.
20:54That would be a pretty strong motive.
20:58You came all this way because she told you some crazy story about me being parked outside the apartment.
21:03Miss Parker, we have to take every lead seriously.
21:06Did you ever think that maybe she made this up to take the attention off of herself?
21:10She was specific about your car.
21:13Silver hybrid? That's like saying somebody was wearing black shoes.
21:17That still doesn't answer the question.
21:21No.
21:24In the six months Sam had the apartment, I never went there.
21:28You never popped down just once for a date night?
21:30I mean, Connecticut's not that far a drive.
21:33Well, when you have two children under the age of ten,
21:35popping down for date night midweek is nearly impossible.
21:40Sam only came home every weekend, and I would see him then.
21:46Okay, well, we just needed to check.
21:48It's possible that Miss Reed was mistaken.
21:50Did it ever occur to you that maybe she was the one that knew he was lying?
21:55We're considering every scenario.
21:57We got a lot of hang-ups last month.
21:59Do you think that's a coincidence?
22:00Did you tell Sam about it?
22:02I did.
22:02He said it was telemarketers, but it was her.
22:06How can you be sure?
22:07I know she has our phone number.
22:09She's called since Sam was killed.
22:11Sarah called you?
22:12She called about the funeral details.
22:14Can you believe that?
22:15If she thinks she's going to show her face her, she's sadly mistaken.
22:18Was that the only time you heard from Sarah?
22:19No.
22:20She called this morning and left some ridiculous message about getting things back from Sam,
22:25that she had given him, and then on and on about some pen that had been her grandfather's.
22:28She said, we were married for ten years and eight months.
22:34If she thinks that her six-month affair can hold a candle to that, I'm not giving her anything.
22:42That was a long drive.
22:45I can see why you got the apartment in the city.
22:47So, I did some background on Parker's job situation.
22:51It turns out that his old employer, Connecticut Solutions, has been circling the drain.
22:55Over the last couple of years, they've lost half their market share to his new employer, New York Recycle.
23:00Sounds like Sam was abandoning a sinking ship.
23:02To join the winning team.
23:04Supposedly, New York Recycle came up with some new technology that turned out to be a game changer.
23:08Apparently, these two CEOs have been major rivals from day one.
23:11Like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
23:13Kobe and LeBron.
23:15Joe Lee and Aniston.
23:16We get the picture.
23:17Rivals.
23:18Yes.
23:19My point was, maybe that's why Sam faked his resume.
23:21He didn't think that New York Recycle would hire him if they knew he was from Connecticut Solutions.
23:25Well, that makes sense.
23:28You're kidding me.
23:31You've been very helpful.
23:33Hey, the warrants just came through on the numbers on Sam's resume.
23:36His reference is phone numbers.
23:37They're all billed and registered to Connecticut Solutions, his old firm.
23:41Okay, why would they set up dummy phone lines and give phony recommendations?
23:45They wanted Sam to get hired.
23:47He wasn't passed over for promotion.
23:49He was planted at New York Recycle as a corporate spine.
23:55I'm sorry.
24:04I'm just trying to get my head around this idea.
24:06I mean, this is the guy who organized the potato sack race at the Labor Day picnic.
24:10Well, there's considerable circumstantial evidence that he was planted here by his former employer.
24:15We just don't have proof yet.
24:17Obviously, no one wants to get to the bottom of this more than I do.
24:20So you'll have our complete cooperation.
24:21Well, what do you think Connecticut Solutions was after?
24:24It was our battery recycling technology.
24:26I'm sure you both know you're not supposed to dump your batteries in with your trash.
24:29Batteries need to be disposed of properly or else the acids and the heavy metals will leach out into...
24:34And get into the water table.
24:35Exactly, yes.
24:37The problem is storing battery sludge can be quite expensive.
24:40But we've figured out a way to actually recycle the stuff.
24:42So when you bid on a contract to haul away old batteries, you can do it cheaper.
24:46Which is why Connecticut Solutions lost half of its market share to you.
24:50Bottom line is they can't compete.
24:51Was Sarah Reed on the team of engineers that developed that technology?
24:55Yeah, that's right.
24:56That's probably why Sam Parker went out of his way to Romancer for access.
24:59It's pretty smart.
25:00Pardon me, but don't you mean despicable?
25:02The two aren't mutually exclusive.
25:04Would you mind if our forensic IT team took a look at Sarah's computer and Sam's, Jake's, as well?
25:09They should be able to tell us whether your security was compromised and whether he got a hold of anything proprietary.
25:13Anything we can do to help.
25:15Okay, thanks.
25:16Forensic IT has taken possession of Sarah and Sam's computers.
25:19You know, there's a lot of corporate secrets I can see sending us by to steal, but all the skulking around for some battery sludge?
25:24Well, like the man said, it's a business, like any other.
25:28But whoever runs Connecticut Solutions is going to have a hell of a lot of explaining to do.
25:34Is it true?
25:37Ms. Reed?
25:38What they're saying, is it true?
25:41Look, I can't go into details, but there's evidence that Jake was trying to steal information.
25:47Then it was all an act?
25:50No, that doesn't mean he didn't care about you.
25:54That's exactly what it means.
25:56He never loved me.
25:58You're just using me the whole time.
26:04This guy was good.
26:07He was running a secret email client from inside a hidden partition in his hard drive.
26:11English?
26:12From my partner here.
26:14He set things up so that he could send emails outside a company network in case anyone ever came snooping.
26:19What kind of emails?
26:20I speak computer.
26:22This, however, looks like chemistry.
26:26Was he communicating with anyone in particular?
26:28Yeah.
26:29All these emails were to the same guy.
26:32aberman at con-soul.net.
26:37Andy Berman.
26:38He's the CEO of Connecticut Solutions.
26:40He must have been who Sam was reporting to.
26:42They exchanged a bunch of emails a couple months ago, then nothing to the night Sam was killed.
26:46What'd that one say?
26:47Call me.
26:48We need to talk.
26:51Okay, yes, it's true.
26:52Sam emailed me the other night and I called him.
26:54From a pay phone?
26:55At a gas station near my house.
26:57Very cloak and dagger of you.
26:59He said he needed to meet me in the city.
27:01He said he finally figured out how New York Recycle was pulling it off.
27:03So you admit that you planted him there to steal their battery technology?
27:07They've been underbidding us left and right, stealing our business.
27:10Getting our hands on their recycling method was a way to level the playing field.
27:14They weren't going to share it, so I offered Sam a million-dollar payday if he could get a hold of it.
27:20And when he called and said he completed his mission, you rushed right over?
27:24The thing about Sam is he and I had been down this road before.
27:28What do you mean?
27:29He told you he'd found it before?
27:31I wasted hundreds of thousands on research and development with the stuff he brought me.
27:36The chemical formulas were never complete.
27:38So when my engineers tried to fill in the blanks and test them, we failed every time.
27:41Finally, we ran out of money.
27:43So a couple of months ago, I had to cut Sam loose.
27:45If Sam wasn't working for you, what was he calling about?
27:49He said he needed to show me something.
27:51What?
27:52I don't know.
27:53I drove into the city to meet him at his apartment, but as I pulled up, there were cops all over the entrance.
27:58I got a bad feeling about it, so I turned around and I drove home.
28:03That's a very interesting story, Mr. Berman, but I have a different ending.
28:07One where you went upstairs to Sam's apartment and he told you that he finally found the real thing.
28:14You said so yourself.
28:16Your company didn't have the million dollars to pay him.
28:19So you did the one thing that you could.
28:23You killed him and you stole it in a desperate attempt to save your sinking company.
28:31I would like to call my lawyer now, please.
28:34It was pretty cool, the way you filled in the story there.
28:38I think I must be rubbing off on you.
28:41That sounded dirtier than I meant it.
28:42Yo, Beckett.
28:44Dispatch just got a call out of Connecticut.
28:46New Haven PD have two women involved in an altercation.
28:49Speaking of dirty.
28:50And the ladies in question are asking for you before they're taken in for booking.
28:54For me?
28:55Why?
28:57Oh, no.
28:58Oh, yes.
28:59They're holding Helen Parker for assault and Sarah Reed for trespassing.
29:02A wife and fiancé cat fight.
29:04Please tell me we can stop for popcorn on the way.
29:07Castle.
29:16Miss Reed was trespassing in the detached office.
29:19When Mrs. Parker confronted her, an altercation ensued.
29:22She tried to rip my purse off my arm.
29:24Almost dislocated my shoulder.
29:25Miss Reed, what were you doing in the Parker's office?
29:28She wouldn't give me back my pen.
29:30Your pen?
29:31My grandfather's fountain pen.
29:33I gave it to Jake.
29:33Sam!
29:34His name was Sam!
29:36I gave it to him before I knew he was a lying sack.
29:38And she wouldn't give it back to me.
29:39I looked for it in the office.
29:41There was nothing there.
29:41I have no idea what she's talking about.
29:43Oh, really?
29:44Huh.
29:45Well, then what do you call this?
29:48That was in the office.
29:49Yes.
29:49It was right there in the drawer.
29:51How she could have missed it.
29:52I don't know.
29:52Unless, of course, she was lying and never bothered to look.
29:54Miss Reed, I understand how you're feeling.
29:56But breaking into someone's home is...
29:57No, this is my grandfather's pen.
29:59I never would have given it to Jake if I had known.
30:01Ladies, I'm wondering if maybe we can put this whole nasty episode behind us.
30:06She broke into my house.
30:07God knows what else she stole.
30:09Do you mind if I take a look at the purse?
30:11Not at all.
30:12Happy now?
30:23Is everyone okay?
30:24Can we all just walk away?
30:28If I ever catch your face around me...
30:30For crying out loud, give it a rest.
30:31No wonder the guy had an ulcer.
30:32I would, too, if I was married to you.
30:34An ulcer?
30:34What are you talking about, you crazy lunatic?
30:36Look!
30:36Look!
30:37Hello?
30:37You broke into my house!
30:38Look!
30:39Look!
30:39Okay!
30:39I understand that you're both angry and feeling betrayed, but taking it out on each other
30:46isn't going to help.
30:47So you can both press charges and make a bad thing worse, or you can calm down and walk
30:51away.
30:54Option number two is a limited time offer.
31:05Love you.
31:07See ya.
31:09Please tell me you did not sleep in the break room again.
31:19I went home.
31:20I just couldn't stop thinking about that cat fight last night.
31:22Ooh, would you think less of me if I said me too?
31:26I kept thinking that that was a long way for Sarah to go, just to pick up that pen.
31:30And that whole thing with the ulcers was...
31:32Oh, I know, that was a great desperate housewives moment, the way Sarah just rubbed Helen's face
31:36in it.
31:37The thing is, there's nothing about an ulcer in Lanny's autopsy report.
31:41Sam had a clean bill of health.
31:43And what was Sarah talking about?
31:44The boys are looking into it right now.
31:46But, according to Sam's date book, he had doctor's appointments every Tuesday for the last
31:51three weeks.
31:52Well, if he was being a hypochondriac about it, they would have told him right away he didn't
31:55have an ulcer.
31:56So what was he doing every Tuesday at 1 p.m.?
31:58Another woman?
31:59So, the doctor's office has no patient records for Sam Parker or Jake Howard.
32:04Car service Sam was using confirmed that he gave the doctor's office as his destination
32:08when he was scheduling the cars.
32:10Oh, thanks, Elise.
32:11But I talked to the drivers.
32:13Sam changed the destination once they picked him up.
32:16First week, he headed out to this residential address out in Long Island.
32:20Then next week, he drove out to New York Recycles Processing Plant up in Paramus.
32:24And then last week, he hit the port out in Newark.
32:28Sam wouldn't have wanted Sarah to get on to his 007 routine.
32:30So maybe he was slipping away to do his spying.
32:32At some house in Long Island?
32:34So, another woman.
32:35She and Sam were taking long romantic walks at Port Newark.
32:39Why you gotta ruin the dream?
32:41Listen, Sam was changing his destination last minute with the car service because he
32:44was trying to hide something.
32:45So, let's look in the addresses and see why he felt the need to give Sarah a cover story.
32:54State law requires a 10-minute break every five hours.
33:08Thanks, Dad.
33:09I needed this.
33:10So, how goes your property room sleuthing?
33:12Not amazing.
33:13Oh, no.
33:14What happened to that list of detectives Becca gave you?
33:17I had to say my last dead end.
33:19Oh, well, what's important is that you tried.
33:23I know.
33:23I just really wanted to get those pictures back to the victim's family.
33:28I mean, I'd want them if there were pictures that you'd carry it around.
33:31If you are imagining a scenario where I am no longer here and watching over your every
33:38move and protecting you from every danger, I can assure you that will never happen.
33:44I'm just saying I think it's important.
33:47No, you're right.
33:48But remember, there's a reason why a lot of this stuff goes unclaimed.
33:51I guess I just need to focus on cataloging for the rest of my time here.
33:55And before you know it, you'll be retired from law enforcement and back in the 11th grade.
34:01Thanks, Dad.
34:03For what?
34:04You're welcome.
34:04You just gave me a new leap.
34:08So I'll finish your cocoa.
34:12Two relationships.
34:13Can you imagine the stress of trying to pull that off?
34:18Yes.
34:21From a literary point of view.
34:24Hey, what'd you guys find?
34:25Well, we canvassed using a picture.
34:26We came up with a longshoreman in Port Newark who remembered Sam.
34:29Apparently, he'd been asking about shipping manifests.
34:32Sounds random.
34:33The longshoreman couldn't help him, so Sam moved on.
34:35What about the address from the first Tuesday?
34:37Oh, here's where it gets good.
34:39The Long Island address is the residence of a single mother,
34:41Laura Branston, and her six-year-old daughter.
34:43I told you, it was another woman.
34:45Our love triangle just became a love square.
34:47Nope, still a triangle.
34:49Different name, but that's...
34:52The fiancée.
34:53Sarah Reed.
34:55Well, it looks like Sam wasn't the only one hiding his identity.
34:57The engagement, the relationship, we know they were all fake.
35:12Love is a hard thing to disprove, Detective Beckett.
35:14This is a copy of your real driver's license.
35:18And this is your social security card.
35:21And this is the employment record from New York Recycle under an assumed identity.
35:28Nothing like a fresh start.
35:29We did a little digging.
35:31Turns out New York Recycle isn't the first company you've worked for under a new identity.
35:35That girl's got to make a living.
35:36Here's what I'm thinking.
35:40Lance Carlberg figured out that Sam was a spy.
35:43He contacted you, an expert in corporate espionage,
35:47and asked you to intercept him.
35:48I was just doing my job.
35:50Leading a man on isn't a crime, is it, Detective?
35:53Should be.
35:54I'm not looking into the leading on part.
35:55I'm looking into a murder, and you had access to Sam's apartment,
35:58and you were hired to take care of him.
36:00I was hired to get in his way.
36:02It was supposed to look like I had access to classified information,
36:04so when I struck up a flirtation,
36:06he thought the relationship would give him the access he needed.
36:09Once you had the relationship, what was the plan?
36:12I just had to leave my laptop lying around his apartment once or twice.
36:15My key card ended up in his laundry one weekend.
36:18Men think they're smart.
36:19The trick is to keep letting them think it.
36:23Um, so what was on the computer?
36:26Lance was feeding Sam these partial chemical formulas.
36:29He thought it would keep Connecticut Solutions going in circles.
36:32Why not just fire him?
36:33Why not kill two birds with one stone,
36:35keep the enemy close, and run Connecticut into the ground?
36:38And what makes you think that Sam was falling for your routine?
36:42Well, I wondered at first, because he wouldn't sleep with me,
36:45and then I realized that he was being faithful to his wife,
36:47so I pretended to buy his whole I'm old-fashioned thing.
36:52He thought he was playing me.
36:54He was.
36:54This is Sam's autopsy report.
36:59Hmm.
37:00Sam didn't have an ulcer.
37:02He was seeing a doctor for it.
37:03No, that was just a story.
37:05He made you.
37:06No way.
37:07I would have been able to tell.
37:09Oh, I hate to burst this little alias bubble you got going on,
37:12but Sam found your house in Long Island.
37:15He knew you were more than just a flirty engineer.
37:18He played along not to arouse suspicion,
37:20but I think you already knew that.
37:22You knew that he made you,
37:24and that he found the secret method,
37:25and that's why you killed him.
37:26I think that sounds like a great spy versus spy story,
37:34but there is one problem.
37:36The night Sam was killed,
37:38I was at my daughter's recital,
37:39and there's about 20 other parents that can vouch for that.
37:44I like her.
37:46For the murder.
37:47See that crazy look in her eye?
37:48That's crazy killer look.
37:50Yo, Sarah's alibi checks out.
37:53Dance teacher puts her in the front row at the time of the murder.
37:55She's still got crazy eyes.
37:57He never loved her, she never loved him,
37:58and they both thought that they were playing each other.
38:00Which still doesn't explain he killed him.
38:02We're missing something.
38:03The pen.
38:05If Sarah's relationship with Sam was a fake...
38:07Then why did she give him her grandfather's special pen?
38:10And what was Sarah really looking for in Sam's office last night?
38:16Nothing.
38:17This doesn't make any sense.
38:19We went through Sarah's purse.
38:20If there was something in it, we would have found it.
38:25Castle, what are you doing?
38:29I'm writing the scene.
38:32Let's say Sarah found what it was she was looking for.
38:35She had it in her hand.
38:38That's when she would have heard Helen coming out of the house.
38:40She would have had to have gotten rid of whatever it was that she found.
38:45Great.
38:46You want to write the part where we find it?
38:48So Helen would never know.
38:49What do you know?
39:02Power motor's still on.
39:09We're going to need some tape.
39:10These are the pics that our Vic took while we were supposedly at the doctor.
39:15According to New York Recycle, they shipped their battery sludge up to the recycling plant in Paramus.
39:20You don't need a boat to get to Paramus.
39:21Secret method, my ass.
39:23They weren't processing it.
39:24They were switching labels and dumping it.
39:31That Sam was quite the Aaron Brockovich, wasn't he?
39:33There was no secret method to battery recycling.
39:37You shipped the sludge out on cargo barges and dumped it in the ocean.
39:40The money you saved on storage and processing, you just put into your own pocket instead.
39:44Listen, I know my rights.
39:46And I don't have to say anything.
39:50You sold a bill of goods to your customers.
39:53You promised them that they were going to help save the world.
39:56Instead, you poisoned it for money.
39:59What happened, Goldberg?
40:00Sam confront you?
40:02Threaten to ruin you?
40:02I didn't kill anyone.
40:05And you?
40:07You have no proof.
40:09Actually, I do.
40:19We ran ballistics.
40:21It's a match.
40:23We found it in the dumpster outside your apartment building.
40:25Had you recycled, you might have gotten away with it.
40:32The night that your husband was murdered, he went back to his office to grab the last few pieces of evidence he had collected.
40:38And by then, Carl Berg had already become suspicious.
40:42When he realized that your husband was contacting his old boss for help in exposing his company, Carl Berg attempted to buy his silence.
40:48But Sam wouldn't accept the bribe.
40:51Of course not.
40:53Not Sam.
40:54You said that the environment was the most important thing to your husband.
40:57Well, he died trying to save it, and we thought that you should know that.
