00:00There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people.
00:03Psychopaths and mystery writers.
00:05I'm the kind that pays better.
00:06Who am I?
00:07I'm Rick Castle.
00:08Castle.
00:09Castle.
00:09I really am ruggedly handsome, aren't I?
00:12Every writer needs inspiration, and I've found mine.
00:14Detective Kate Beckett.
00:15Beckett. Beckett.
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, like Starsky and Hutch.
00:27Turner and Hooch.
00:28You do remind me a little of Hooch.
00:30Hooch.
01:00Why is that name familiar?
01:02Because it probably crossed over all our desks a dozen times in the last few years.
01:07Aggravated assault, ADW, arson.
01:09Coonan had a heavy rep. Word is, he's an enforcer for the Westies.
01:12Okay, remind me who are the Westies again.
01:15Irish Mafia out of Hell's Kitchen.
01:17They deal in cargo theft, counterfeiting, extortion.
01:20And public urination on St. Patrick's Day.
01:22Our boy Coonan also had a home security system. 12-gauge hollow point.
01:27That thing could stop a Kodiak in Kevlar.
01:29Who did he think was coming through the door?
01:31Well, whoever it was left him leaking from about 30 holes that don't normally appear in a healthy 35-year-old male.
01:37Nine millimeter sig still in his waistband.
01:40Didn't even have time to pull it out.
01:41This guy was armed and ready.
01:44Whoever got him was very, very good.
01:46Ninja assassin.
01:47Ninja assassin? Isn't that kind of redundant?
01:50Aren't all ninjas by definition assassins?
01:51Fine. Webster and Roger are ninja. Assassination implied by definition.
01:57Scales the building, slips in through this window, and then hides himself.
02:00I don't know about...
02:01Hey, look at this.
02:03Our victim is a Johnny Vong fan.
02:05Someone actually bought those tapes?
02:07What?
02:08Who's Johnny Vong?
02:09Come on, you're kidding me.
02:10Every insomniac in New York knows who Johnny Vong is.
02:12This infomercial runs all night.
02:14Most people think you gotta have money to make money, but that's not true.
02:18Look at me.
02:19When I come to this country, I come with nothing.
02:22I come on boat, and now I own a boat.
02:26Your friends might tell you.
02:27I'm sorry.
02:28Do you guys mind if we finish dealing with the dead guy on the carpet?
02:33Beckett, cell phone.
02:35Looks like it took a direct hit from the knife.
02:38Have tech pull the SIM card.
02:39I want to know who Coonan was talking to before he died.
02:42Ryan?
02:43No.
02:44Did my brother suffer?
02:56Yes.
03:01Thank you for your honesty.
03:04I guess you could have lied to me.
03:06No, I couldn't.
03:07I've been on your side of the table, and when I was, what I needed most was the truth.
03:11I, uh, I built schools in Afghanistan.
03:17I don't give kids over there a fighting chance.
03:19I get all this recognition.
03:21Here's my big brother Jackie, the guy who taught me to fight for the little guy.
03:25What does he get?
03:28What does he get worse than he deserved?
03:30I make no excuses for the things my brother did, but growing up, we were on our own a lot.
03:36Jackie was the toughest kid on the block.
03:38That's what first brought him to Rourke's attention.
03:41Finn Rourke?
03:41He runs the Westies.
03:45What did he actually do for Finn?
03:48Jackie never said.
03:51But whatever it was, pretty sure I got him killed.
04:03Castle.
04:04These Westies can be pretty rough.
04:08So you sure you don't want to stay in the car?
04:10No way.
04:12Okay.
04:12Keep your mouth shut and try to butch up a little.
04:25I'm looking for Finn Rourke.
04:27Is that right?
04:28Well, as far as I'm concerned, you and your wife there can keep looking.
04:39This is the part where I tell you that one phone call from me and the Department of Health will be down here.
04:45You'll be shut down for 30 days.
04:47I guarantee it.
04:48Do you really want to do that to your boss?
04:50It's not like I'm asking you to cough up.
04:55Come on now.
04:56Got to hear the game.
04:57Tommy.
04:58Point for the pretty boy, huh?
05:00Saddle his stomach.
05:03Thanks.
05:08Mr. Rourke, I'm Detective Kate Beckett.
05:10I'm here about Jack Coonan.
05:14So you are.
05:17When did you last see Jack Coonan?
05:19I don't remember.
05:21In fact, none of us remember.
05:25I think you'll find the Department of Health.
05:27Take a very liberal attitude to my establishment.
05:32And this is the part where I tell you to pound sand, detective.
05:37Step away.
05:50Step away.
05:55Are you okay?
05:57Me?
05:57Mario Mendoza, also known as Trucho.
06:09You did four years upstate for distribution in Queens, and you just got off of parole.
06:14Congratulations.
06:15I've got a dead Westie on my hands, and it looked like you were about to join, so you want to tell me what you were doing in Finn Rourke's back room?
06:23Can I be real with you?
06:25Oh, please do.
06:25I had too much to drink, and I accidentally fell.
06:29You fell?
06:30I fell.
06:31Well, then how'd you get that mouse on your eye?
06:33I ran into the wall.
06:35How'd you burn your hand?
06:36After I ran into the wall, and I fell, I put my hand out on the grill just to break my fall.
06:46Well, thanks for keeping it real.
06:48Look, I get it, the whole street code thing and all, but in my experience, Mario, guys like you end up catching another case sooner or later, and when you do, wouldn't you like to have a detective on your side?
06:58No, thanks.
07:04I'm good.
07:07Oh.
07:10He was my collar from back in the day.
07:12Guy ran dope for the Latin Kings.
07:14Latin Kings?
07:15It's a violent street gang.
07:16They mostly peddle girls and drugs.
07:18Yeah, Choo Choo's their blade man.
07:20Real handy with the knife.
07:21We never popped him for murder, but I met plenty of folks with fingers missing.
07:25So was there bad blood between them?
07:27Yeah, they're like the Hatfields and McCoys of Hell's Kitchen.
07:30So the Westies figure that the Latin Kings killed Kunin, and they snatch their blade guy and bring him in for a little enhanced interrogation.
07:36Which no one wants to admit to.
07:37Uh-huh.
07:38In my experience, if Finn went all get more on him, it was for a reason.
07:42You got a Westie with holes in him, Choo Choo's probably your guy.
07:45He's right.
07:46We found Choo Choo's vehicle in an alley behind a little bodega in Rico Park.
07:49It's a big dope spot.
07:50And he left his little letter opener tucked behind the driver's side sun visor.
07:57That's not it.
08:02You didn't even look.
08:03Sure I did.
08:04It's a stiletto, four-inch Damascus blade, and it's way too small to make these wounds.
08:08Well, maybe he used a different knife.
08:11Just how tall is this true Choo?
08:13He's, um, five-six.
08:16Standing on his toes.
08:17And he's not your guy.
08:19Thrust angle on these wounds indicate Kunin's killer was over six foot.
08:22Well, maybe instead of using a stiletto, he was wearing stilettos.
08:28Excuse me.
08:31Beckett.
08:34Hey.
08:35Hey.
08:36You okay?
08:37Yeah, thanks.
08:38I'm fine.
08:43Tech's got some hits off of Kunin's phone.
08:45Maybe they can shed some light.
08:46Thank you, Lainey.
08:47Mm-hmm.
08:48The last call that Kunin made was to a New York landline.
08:56Because of the damage to the sim, it's missing the last two digits of the phone number.
09:00Well, that's 99 possibilities.
09:02We better get dialing, Ryan.
09:03I'm looking at you.
09:03Well, no, the numbers are off on the same phone tree.
09:06Here's where it gets interesting.
09:07They all trace back to the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
09:11What's an Irish street thug doing talking to the FBI?
09:15My program is idiot-proof.
09:25Look at me.
09:26I never went to college.
09:28You're back.
09:28The FBI agent's here.
09:32Wasn't that DVD supposed to be booked in as possible evidence?
09:35Uh, yeah, but, you know, I thought there might be something.
09:38Put it back.
09:40Okay.
09:41I appreciate your coming down, Agent Forrest.
09:44Most of your FBI colleagues would expect the locals to come to them.
09:47Most of my colleagues worry about hair products and press conferences when they should be out catching bad men.
09:52I take it you're not from around these parts?
09:54No, sir.
09:55I'm not.
09:56But for my many sins, the Bureau has transferred me here to New York.
10:00How did you come into contact with Jack Kunin?
10:03He reached out to us about a week ago.
10:04And you signed him on as an informant?
10:06Nope.
10:06Why not?
10:09Because all there were were overtures.
10:11And I wasn't about to trade the family cow for a bunch of magic beans.
10:14You didn't trust him?
10:15When a case like Kunin reaches out to the Bureau, it's usually because he crossed his bosses.
10:19And he's hard up to trade them into the Bureau for a quick trip into the waiting arms of Witsick.
10:24Who was Kunin offering up?
10:26Never found out.
10:26Well, whoever it was must have gotten wind of it.
10:29And then killed Kunin before he had a chance to deliver them to the FBI.
10:32The Westies are a bit like the rogue state of Iran and the great state of Texas.
10:38They're not too shy in handing out the death penalty.
10:41And talking to the FBI is definitely a capital offense.
10:44We need to talk to Finn Rourke again.
10:47An angel visited Jackie's home two nights ago.
10:53Same Angelus took the Pharaoh's firstborn.
10:56Now I know so many of you think you don't know the angel of death.
11:02Trust me, Lance.
11:04He knows you.
11:06So, here's to darling Jackie.
11:10He's up in heaven now.
11:12You can be sure he broke in when there was in Vespers.
11:26Come to honor the dead, I hope.
11:30If not, I'll thank you to move away out of this place.
11:33You're lying.
11:35You know exactly what happened to Jack Kunin.
11:39That once over that you gave Trucha was just a piece of theater to throw them all off, just like your eulogy.
11:44Now you be careful, detective.
11:47Or else what?
11:49You'll kill me just like you killed Kunin after he went to the feds about you?
11:53I know.
11:55I'm not of you slandering like this.
11:58Not tonight.
11:59I got it straight from the FBI.
12:02Jack reached out to them just before he died.
12:07He turned on you, didn't he?
12:09You don't know what you're talking about, Boyle.
12:12Jackie Kunin was loyal.
12:14To his last breath, he died in a state of grace.
12:18Even if what you say is true, you can be sure Jackie wasn't talking to the Gs about any of us.
12:23How can you be so sure?
12:30You've heard of me.
12:32You've heard I'm a gangster and a thief.
12:36Surely.
12:38You've heard I killed men.
12:41Would you answer me this, detective?
12:42Have you ever heard Finn Rourke running drugs?
12:47Someone was bringing it in here.
12:50Into my neighborhood, my backyard.
12:53I sent Jackie to find the bastards behind it.
12:57Find them and punish them.
13:00According to our rules.
13:02Only they punished you instead.
13:06Aye.
13:08That's it, it's...
13:12Here.
13:14If you've probable cause,
13:15I suggest you arrest me now.
13:19If not, I'll remind you,
13:20this is a private party.
13:22And I'll thank you
13:23to get the hell
13:24out of my place!
13:35Another.
13:36Give her a minute, Castle.
13:47She can't just follow us out.
13:49It'd be too obvious.
13:50You noticed her?
13:52I'm a homicide detective.
13:53There's one thing I know how to spot.
13:55It's a lady looking to unburden herself.
14:00She's looking for us.
14:01No, no, no.
14:02Don't honk deep throat.
14:03You'll spook her.
14:13Hi.
14:14I'm Molly.
14:15Hi, Molly.
14:16I'm Kate.
14:17Can we maybe give you a lift somewhere?
14:19Anywhere but here.
14:20Of course, I knew Jack's reputation.
14:27It's part of what attracted me to him.
14:31What?
14:32You telling me you never had a thing
14:34for bad boys, Kate?
14:36No comment.
14:37So Jack never mentioned
14:38going to the FBI?
14:40Jack never discussed business.
14:42But I knew he wanted out.
14:44We talked about going somewhere far away.
14:48Last week, Jack warned me
14:50he might get there first.
14:52Jack saw this coming?
14:54We spent every night together.
14:56He couldn't get to sleep
14:57without me next to him.
14:59But last week,
15:00he wouldn't even let me come over.
15:02Anybody but Jack.
15:04And I'd have thought
15:05he had something going on the side.
15:07That never crossed your mind?
15:14This is the last thing
15:20Jack ever gave me
15:22on the last night
15:23I ever spent with him.
15:26Jack said if things broke bad,
15:28he wanted me to give this to the police.
15:32And how do you know
15:33it's to a bus locker?
15:34It's always to a bus locker.
15:36TSA tore most of them out,
15:38but a few terminals still have them.
15:41And this one is the closest
15:42to Kunin's apartment.
15:43Wait, wait, no, no, wait,
15:44don't do that.
15:44What?
15:45Well, once you open it,
15:45then we'll know.
15:46Could be an alien corpse in there.
15:49Ark of the Company.
15:51Or Johnny Vong DVDs.
15:53You gotta be kidding me.
15:54This is what Kunin
15:55wanted to give to the feds?
15:56Hold on.
16:01No.
16:04This is.
16:14Heroin.
16:15That was so cool just now.
16:17You like that?
16:18Yeah, it was very mammy vice.
16:19Hmm.
16:23Kunin wasn't going to the feds
16:25to rat out his Westie pals.
16:26He was looking to rat out
16:27the drug dealer
16:28Finn Rourke sent him to find.
16:30Well, the dealer flips the script,
16:31knifes Kunin
16:32before he can close
16:33the deal with the feds.
16:33So then we find the dealer
16:34and we find the killer.
16:36These boxes say the DVDs
16:37were packaged in Hong Kong.
16:39Someone must be slipping
16:40the heroin in before they shipped.
16:41Which means someone on this end
16:42had to know
16:43which boxes contain the drugs.
16:44And which boxes contain
16:45the secret path
16:46to financial independence.
16:49What?
16:51It'd have to be someone
16:51in Johnny Vong's organization.
16:53I don't care if you're a busboy.
16:59I don't care if you wear
17:00the green apron
17:01and serve fancy coffee
17:03to a jerk
17:03talking on his Bluetooth.
17:05I was like you once.
17:07Then I discovered
17:09the one secret
17:10that changed my whole life.
17:11Who out there is ready?
17:13This place reminds me
17:14of my second wedding.
17:18Yeah!
17:20Who is ready to close
17:21Esco on a new life!
17:24Come on!
17:27Don't even think
17:28about taking them off.
17:29If you do,
17:29I will pepper spray you.
17:34Mr. Vong?
17:35Thank you!
17:36Mr. Vong,
17:37I'm Detective Kate Beckett
17:38with the NYPD.
17:39I'd like to ask you
17:40a few questions.
17:41Sure, sure, sure.
17:42We believe that
17:43one of your employees
17:44was smuggling heroin
17:45into the country
17:46using your supply chain.
17:48Smuggle what?
17:48Smack.
17:50Would you mind
17:51if we looked in here?
17:51What?
17:52What?
17:52What?
17:52What?
17:53What?
17:53What?
17:54What?
17:54What?
17:55What?
17:55What?
17:56Ah!
17:56Ah!
17:57Ah!
17:57Oh, ooh.
17:59Heroin trafficking.
18:00That's good for a
18:0110-year prison bid.
18:03So I don't blame you
18:04for running.
18:04This is all
18:05a big mistake.
18:07I never do drugs.
18:09Drugs are for losers.
18:10I'm a businessman.
18:11I try to help people
18:12achieve their goals.
18:14So long as their goals
18:15are to blow 300 bucks
18:16on your bogus
18:17real estate system.
18:17No, listen.
18:18I offer you
18:1930-day money-back guarantee.
18:21If you don't start
18:22building wealth by then,
18:23I refund all your money.
18:24No questions asked.
18:26Could I make that offer
18:26if this was some kind of scam?
18:28Amanda DePoie.
18:29Shut up.
18:30You don't think you...
18:31No.
18:31No.
18:32Look.
18:32Here's the deal.
18:33I'm not a dope cop.
18:36I'm a homicide detective,
18:37so usually I don't even bother
18:39with your sort of an operation,
18:40but my problem
18:41and yours
18:42is the fact that
18:43you had Jack Coonan killed
18:45in order to hide
18:46your heroin smuggling.
18:47Wait, Jack Coonan's dead?
18:49Whoa.
18:50Careful there, Johnny.
18:51Your accent's
18:52starting to fade a little.
18:54Look,
18:55I didn't come over
18:56on a boat, okay?
18:57I've never even been to Laos.
18:58I'm from Danville, California.
19:00And this whole
19:01Johnny Vong thing?
19:02No one wants to buy
19:03a real estate system
19:04from a Harvard MBA.
19:05I'm gonna show them
19:06an idiot with a Rolls Royce
19:07and they'll knock down doors.
19:08So I played Johnny Vong.
19:09People want all that
19:10Horatio Alger crap,
19:12so that's what I give him.
19:13All that and heroin.
19:14How exactly did you know
19:15Jack Coonan?
19:16Look,
19:17whatever you think you know,
19:19I promise you
19:20I didn't kill Coonan.
19:22You have to believe me.
19:23Do I?
19:24Nothing about you is real.
19:26No.
19:26No.
19:31I needed money.
19:32To take the program national.
19:34He needed a way
19:35to get product into the country.
19:37Stupid,
19:38but once you make
19:39a deal with the devil,
19:40you belong to him.
19:42Who do you belong to?
19:43Who are you working for?
19:45He'll kill me.
19:45I can protect you.
19:46You can't.
19:48Nobody can.
19:49You don't know
19:50what he's capable of.
19:51You don't believe me?
19:51Ask Jack Coonan.
19:52Look, Mr. Vong,
19:53I got to...
19:53No.
19:55He'll take my chances
19:55in prison.
19:56I'd rather lose
19:58ten years of my life
19:59than all of it.
20:02Whoever he's working for
20:04scares him a lot more
20:04than prison.
20:05There has to be a way
20:06to get it out of him.
20:08We could force him
20:08to watch Paris Hilton videos.
20:10Do you want me
20:10brought up on charges?
20:11Beckett.
20:12Hey, Laney.
20:13What are you doing here?
20:15It's about the Coonan case.
20:17This is Dr. Clark Murray.
20:19He's a forensic pathologist.
20:21I asked him to consult.
20:23I'm Detective Kate Beckett.
20:24This is Richard Castle,
20:25the novelist.
20:26We've met.
20:31Note the rectangular bruising
20:33around these wounds.
20:35Here and here.
20:37Caused by the hilt of the knife,
20:38striking with force enough
20:39to compress the skin.
20:41And as a result,
20:42the injuries penetrate deeper
20:43than the actual length
20:44of the blade.
20:45He's also honed the blade
20:46so fine,
20:48it's brittle enough
20:48for bits to break
20:49when it strikes bone,
20:51which is why slivers of blade
20:52were found inside
20:53both of his victims.
20:55We now know
20:56those slivers come
20:57from the same murder weapon.
20:59Wait, two victims?
21:01How many people
21:01has he killed?
21:03Five that we know of.
21:04So we're looking
21:05at a serial.
21:06Yes and no.
21:07We believe we're dealing
21:08with a professional.
21:10Someone with extensive
21:10military training.
21:11A contract killer.
21:13I use tomographic
21:14reconstruction
21:15of Kunin's wounds
21:16to generate a 3D model
21:18of the blade used.
21:20It's a special operations
21:21group knife.
21:23The kind favored
21:23by special forces
21:24in Gulf War I.
21:26He kills with a single blow,
21:29using these other wounds
21:30to camouflage the skill
21:32with which the initial stroke
21:33was delivered.
21:36The very same method
21:37and the very same weapon
21:38that the killer employed
21:40ten years ago.
21:46Lainey.
21:49I'm so sorry.
21:51Detective Beckett,
21:53there is no doubt
21:55in my mind
21:55that Jack Kunin
21:58was killed
21:59by the same man
22:00who murdered your mother.
22:00I am the investigator
22:12of record
22:13on this case.
22:13You had no right
22:14to withhold evidence
22:15from me.
22:16Well, what did you expect?
22:17The last time Castle
22:19tried to talk to you
22:19about your mother's murder,
22:20you bit his head off.
22:22Please, Lainey.
22:23I noticed
22:24the wound similarity.
22:27I've reached out
22:28to Dr. Murray.
22:29I held off
22:30from telling you
22:30until I knew
22:31the evidence
22:31was rock solid.
22:33Beckett,
22:33we came to you
22:34the moment we were sure.
22:36Beckett,
22:37can I have a word with you?
22:49Poor man's painkiller.
22:50I know your mother's murder
22:57was the reason
22:58you became a cop.
23:00And I know
23:00how you almost lost yourself
23:01trying to solve her case
23:02the first time you tried.
23:04I figured sooner or later
23:05when you were ready,
23:07you would want
23:07to take another run at it.
23:09I just never expected
23:10a killer to come around
23:11and sucker punch you
23:12like this.
23:14Kate, listen to me.
23:16You're the finest homicide
23:17I've ever trained,
23:18bar none.
23:19And I want you
23:20to stay on this one
23:21if you can.
23:22If you're up to it.
23:25But I wouldn't be doing
23:26my job as your captain
23:26if I didn't ask.
23:29Can you handle this?
23:36I'm sorry, sir.
23:38I can't.
23:45Beckett.
23:47Kate.
23:49Okay, Dad.
24:10Okay, Dad.
24:10Okay, Dad.
24:12So, what have you found?
24:31I don't know yet.
24:33But enough to scare you?
24:35Yeah.
24:35Yeah.
24:35I didn't sleep well
24:39that whole first year
24:40after you got out of the academy.
24:42I'd hear sirens in the night
24:43and imagine you off
24:44in the darkness someplace.
24:47I had nightmares
24:48where it swallowed you whole.
24:49Dad, I don't want to lose this one.
25:00Your mother always said
25:01that life
25:02never delivers anything
25:03that we can't handle.
25:05I mean,
25:05she lived by that.
25:08Called it Johanna's
25:09immutable law
25:10of the universe.
25:12And for years,
25:13I thought she was wrong
25:14because I couldn't handle
25:17losing her.
25:19Now,
25:19I can almost hear her whisper,
25:22I told you so.
25:24More of Mom's favorite words.
25:27Look,
25:29she was a devout believer
25:30in the truth.
25:31And if she were here right now,
25:33she'd tell you the truth
25:33can never hurt you.
25:34And this may be
25:37your mother's way
25:38of reaching out to you, Katie.
25:41And reminding you
25:42that the truth
25:43is still your weapon to wield,
25:47not theirs.
25:56Hey.
25:57Hey.
25:59Come in.
26:02Mm.
26:04Hang in there, kiddo.
26:07Thank you, Martha.
26:09Leftovers in the fridge.
26:11Upstairs if you need us.
26:14Please.
26:18I will do anything
26:19that you need,
26:20including nothing,
26:21if that's what you want.
26:25What I want
26:25is to find my mother's killer.
26:28Well, then,
26:29we need to break Johnny Vong.
26:31So let's break him.
26:35I owe you an apology,
26:36Mr. Vong.
26:39Apparently, in my haste,
26:40I forgot to read you
26:40your Miranda rights.
26:42You're free to go.
26:43No, I remember distinctly.
26:45You read them to me.
26:46And I waved them all.
26:47You did.
26:48She did.
26:48You remember, right?
26:49Sorry, man.
26:50It's a rookie mistake.
26:51What?
26:51No, wait.
26:52You can't.
26:53You can't do this.
26:54If I walk out of here now,
26:55he'll think I'm cooperating
26:56with the cops.
26:57I'll be dead by morning.
26:58Yes, you will.
27:03Or you can tell me
27:04who you're working for,
27:06and I will protect you.
27:13Dick Coonan.
27:16I work for Dick.
27:18You're telling me
27:19Jack Coonan's brother
27:20is a drug trafficker?
27:22He comes off like Jimmy Carter,
27:24but it was all a scam
27:25to funnel money
27:25to the warlords
27:26with the poppy fields.
27:27Sure, he'd build a few schools
27:29so he had pictures
27:30for his donors,
27:31but most of their money
27:33funded his cartel.
27:34So he had access
27:34to all the dope he wanted.
27:36He just needed a way
27:37of getting it into the country.
27:38You couldn't get an aspirin
27:39from Cobble to New York
27:40without somebody
27:41knowing about it.
27:41Not since 9-11.
27:42All I had to do
27:43was let him package the drugs
27:44at my factory in Hong Kong.
27:47He'd pick up the dirty shipments
27:48once they cleared customs.
27:49And he had the Latin kings
27:50put it on the street.
27:51Perfect system.
27:53Perfect until Trucho
27:54caught a case as stupid
27:55started selling
27:55in the Westies' territory.
27:57And then that's what
27:57brought Jack sniffing around.
27:59Jack threatened to give him
28:00to the feds unless he quit.
28:01So Dick killed his own brother.
28:03Oh, no.
28:05Jack had been with the Westies
28:06a long time.
28:07I ain't grown eyes
28:08in the back of his head.
28:09Dick hired a professional.
28:12What's his name?
28:14He called him Rathborn.
28:16How do I find him?
28:20Ask Dick Cunin.
28:21So, any, uh, progress
28:29on the son of a bitch
28:30who killed my brother?
28:32We're close.
28:32We think that Jack was killed
28:34after Rourke asked him
28:35to hunt down a drug dealer.
28:36Turns out the Westies
28:37have done a pretty good job
28:38with the war on drugs
28:39these past few years.
28:40Talk about zero tolerance.
28:42The punishment for dealing drugs
28:43in their neighborhood
28:44is death.
28:44But when he tracked down
28:46this dealer for some reason,
28:49Jack didn't have the heart
28:50to kill him.
28:52That is so Jackie.
28:54He always led with his chin.
28:55Went through life
28:56like he was expecting
28:57to win the Good Sportsman Award
28:59on trophy night.
28:59Cut the crap, Cunin.
29:02We know all about
29:04your heroin triangle.
29:05Afghanistan, Hong Kong,
29:10New York.
29:11And we also know
29:12that you hired an assassin
29:13named Rathborn
29:14to kill your brother
29:15before he went to the feds
29:16about you.
29:27Prove it.
29:27Are you okay?
29:50Ten years
29:51since we came home
29:53and found that detective
29:54waiting for us.
29:57Ten years
29:59since we crossed
30:00that yellow tape
30:01and went into that alley
30:02and every time
30:02I crossed the tape
30:03at a crime scene
30:04I think of that night.
30:07That's what makes you
30:08such a good cop.
30:13What if I let her down?
30:23Do you know why
30:24I chose you
30:24as my inspiration
30:25for Nikki Heat?
30:26No.
30:29Why?
30:30Because you're tall.
30:36Now go in there
30:37and do your job.
30:39I have forensic accountants
30:41digging through
30:42your organization,
30:43Mr. Cunin.
30:44If there's evidence
30:45of heroin trafficking
30:46they will find it.
30:48But that's not
30:49your biggest problem
30:50right now.
30:52Hiring an assassin
30:53like Rathborn
30:54shows premeditation
30:55and that makes
30:56this a special
30:56circumstance case
30:58which qualifies you
30:59for the needle.
31:02Now,
31:03I am willing
31:04to take the special
31:05circumstance allegations
31:06off the table
31:07if you give me
31:10Rathborn.
31:11The only special
31:12circumstance here,
31:14detective,
31:14is your complete
31:15lack of evidence
31:17against me.
31:17I have Johnny
31:19Vong.
31:23The guy
31:23with the phony
31:24accent
31:24and the real
31:26estate scam?
31:28Is that the best
31:29you can do?
31:32Are you really
31:32willing to bet
31:33your life that
31:34Vong can't hold
31:35his mud,
31:36Mr. Cunin?
31:37Give me the killer
31:38and I will put
31:39the DA in the mood
31:40for a second degree
31:41plea.
31:41When we first
31:44met,
31:46you told me
31:47you'd been
31:47on the other
31:48side of this.
31:49Remember?
31:51Now,
31:53could that be
31:54why you seem
31:55so eager
31:56to get your hands
31:57on this mysterious
31:58assassin?
32:00Because if I had
32:00to guess,
32:01I'd say that
32:02someone close to
32:03you was murdered
32:04and you think
32:05Rathborn had
32:06something to do
32:06with it.
32:07But I don't
32:09have to guess,
32:10do I?
32:12Because it's
32:12all over your face.
32:16That still
32:16doesn't change
32:17the fact that
32:18you're guilty
32:18of murder.
32:20Maybe not.
32:22But for the
32:23low, low price
32:24of transactional
32:26immunity,
32:27I can give you
32:29the closure
32:29you've been seeking.
32:31You get Rathborn
32:32and I walk.
32:35And that detective
32:36is my final
32:37offer.
32:40Transactional
32:41immunity, Paul,
32:42and I'm inclined
32:42to give it to him.
32:44Rathborn has killed
32:45five that we know
32:46of, including
32:47the mother of
32:48one of my people.
32:50It's one of our
32:51own, Paul.
32:52I remember that
32:53used to mean
32:53something in this
32:53town.
33:01Well?
33:03He went for it.
33:04The district attorney
33:05is going to offer
33:05Coon an immunity
33:06if he gives us
33:07Rathborn.
33:08I hope you know
33:08what the hell
33:08you're doing.
33:11Describe him.
33:13About my height?
33:15Just so average,
33:16he's almost
33:16invisible.
33:17How did you meet?
33:19We're in the
33:20service together.
33:21They said he'd
33:22been killed back
33:22in a training
33:23exercise in 95,
33:24but about a year
33:26ago, I'm sitting
33:27at a bar, and I
33:29glance across, and
33:30I'm looking at a
33:30ghost.
33:31Turns out he'd
33:32actually been
33:32recruited back
33:33then, not killed,
33:34to do the bad
33:36stuff that
33:37governments like
33:38to deny.
33:39How'd you hire
33:39him?
33:40He'd given me the
33:40number to his
33:41answering service in
33:42the Caymans, and
33:43they provided me
33:44with a single-use
33:44email address,
33:46number to count,
33:47emailed him the
33:47name of his target,
33:48wired him the
33:49money, and waited.
33:50Okay.
33:51Here's the deal.
33:52You're going to
33:54contact Rathborn with
33:55a contract on
33:57Vong.
33:57You're going to
33:58tell him that the
33:58police are taking
33:59him to the DA's
34:00office for a
34:00deposition, that he
34:01can't make it there
34:02alive.
34:02It doesn't work
34:03like that.
34:04He wants his
34:05money up front.
34:06It's a hundred
34:07grand, non-negotiable.
34:08A hundred grand.
34:09The city is never
34:10going to agree to
34:11that.
34:11Look, you want to
34:12catch your killer?
34:13The price is a
34:13hundred grand.
34:14I can't just shoot
34:15that kind of money
34:15out into space without
34:16any hope of getting
34:17it back.
34:18You can't.
34:19I can't.
34:20This one's on me.
34:20Castle.
34:21Do we have a deal?
34:22We do.
34:24But my client's
34:25immunity kicks in the
34:25moment Rathborn accepts
34:26the contract, once the
34:28wire transfer is
34:29complete.
34:36As soon as Rathborn
34:37takes the job, your
34:39part is done.
34:40And I walk.
34:41And you walk.
34:46Rathborn has taken
34:47the bait.
34:48Now for today's
34:49performance, the role
34:50of Johnny Vogue will
34:51be played by Officer
34:52Clayton Lee.
34:53We are about to die.
34:54Salute you.
34:55Ryan and Esposito will
34:56escort Lee to the
34:57DA's office via a
34:59prearranged route.
35:00We'll have plane
35:01clothes in place on
35:02every corner and
35:03mid-block, and there
35:04will also be air
35:05support, for what
35:06it's worth.
35:07Not a whole lot.
35:08No one even knows
35:08what Rathborn looks
35:09like.
35:09Well, you shouldn't
35:10be a too hard
35:10spot.
35:11Yeah, he'll be the
35:12one who's trying to
35:12kill you.
35:13All right, let's go,
35:14everybody.
35:14Be advised, we are
35:17southbound Lafayette
35:18approaching Wirth.
35:20Roger on Wirth, let
35:20me know when you
35:21clear the intersection.
35:23We're through the
35:23intersection, continuing
35:25eastbound Wirth.
35:27It's a solid plan.
35:29We're entering the
35:30parking garage.
35:35Eyes out.
35:36This guy's supposed to
35:37let close-up work.
35:38Be advised, we are
35:59now on foot.
36:08Rathborn's making his
36:10move.
36:18Drop it, drop it!
36:19What the hell's wrong
36:21with you?
36:22It's a phone.
36:24Disregard, disregard.
36:25It's not him.
36:27We must have spooked
36:28him.
36:29Rathborn didn't show.
36:38I let her down.
36:46No, you didn't.
36:47Rathborn's in the wind.
36:48Dick Coonan's about to
36:50walk.
36:53I missed something.
36:55Could have been me.
36:57Rathborn could have
36:58checked the routing
36:58number, realized the
36:59money was coming from
37:00my account, not Dick's.
37:02I was arrogant.
37:04I don't think you're
37:04arrogant, Castle.
37:05I thought what you did
37:06was sweet.
37:06And I will pay you
37:08back.
37:08Negative, Ghost Rider.
37:10Small price to pay for a
37:11shot at your mother's
37:11killer.
37:16Her killer?
37:18What?
37:20Coonan said it was
37:21a hundred grand to catch
37:22her killer.
37:23And you never told him
37:25it was your mother that
37:25was murdered.
37:27There was no Rathborn.
37:29That was just a cover.
37:30It was you.
37:35Clever, girl.
37:36All right.
37:42Here's what's going to
37:43happen.
37:44You're just going to
37:44stroll on over to the
37:46elevator together.
37:48Nice and easy.
37:51That'll never happen.
37:53You make a sound, you
37:54attempt to signal you so
37:56much as clear your throat.
37:57And I'll put a round in
37:58this man's liver and he
38:00will die slowly.
38:02In inconsiderable pain.
38:04Let's go.
38:15What?
38:15No pithy remarks from the
38:17peanut gallery?
38:18Not so funny facing your own
38:20death, is it?
38:21Oh, Dick.
38:22You tell me.
38:23Asked him I checked this
38:24was a police station.
38:26You knew before I arrested
38:28you, didn't you?
38:28You knew my mom was your
38:29victim.
38:31It wasn't personal, okay?
38:32She was just another job.
38:33She was my mother.
38:36Who hired you to kill her?
38:38Forget it.
38:38You'll never touch him.
38:39We'll bury you.
38:41Tell me who.
38:42No, no, no!
38:43Sir!
38:44I need him alive.
38:45That's right.
38:46You do need me.
38:46Now back him off or Castle
38:48dies.
38:48Sir, back off, please.
38:52You know I can't do that.
38:54Hey!
38:55You want to learn who
38:56ordered the head on your
38:56mommy?
38:57You better make sure I
38:57make it out of here.
39:06Roy, please.

39:51More than friends I always pledge
39:58Cause friends they can't go
40:01People changes, does everything
40:06I wanted to grow
40:09I just want to grow
40:13I'm just a human being
40:24I will take the blame
40:28But just the same
40:30This is not me
40:32You see
40:34But me
40:36Montgomery's post-incident evaluation
40:38You come off like Steven Seagal
40:40Should I be flattered or insulted?
40:43Both
40:44I didn't know what you felt like
40:48So
40:49I got
40:50Sushi
40:52Got some Italian
40:54Got some Thai
40:55I'm gonna even grab some hot dogs
40:57It wasn't your fault, you know
41:00I overstepped
41:09I came down here to say that I was sorry
41:13And that I'm through
41:15I can't shadow you anymore
41:19If it wasn't for me
41:20If it wasn't for you
41:21I would have never found my mom's killer
41:23And someday soon
41:26I'm gonna find the sons of bitches
41:28Who had Kunin kill her
41:29And I'd like you around when I do
41:32And if you tell anyone
41:35What I'm about to say
41:36There's gonna be another shooting
41:37But
41:38I've gotten used to you
41:41Pulling my pigtails
41:42I have a hard job, Castle
41:46And having you around
41:47Makes it
41:48A little more fun
41:49Your secret safe with me
41:56Give me something
42:01To echo in my unknown future
42:05See you
