00:00Last time on Castle.
00:02Ask me why I'm here.
00:03You know, I ask myself that question every day.
00:05That was Paula, my agent, with big news about my book, Heat Wave.
00:09Are they really making a Nicky Heat movie? Dude, did I call it or what?
00:12And you are about to be immortalized on the silver screen.
00:15Yeah, I'd like to report a murder. I did it.
00:17He called to report his crime.
00:19It's like he did this for fun.
00:21Nicky Heat. He dedicated this murder to me.
00:24Nicky Heat, I presume.
00:25It's Beckett.
00:27Special Agent Jordan Shaw.
00:28Tell me everything you know about Jordan Shaw.
00:29She is like the federal you.
00:31If our killer is obsessed with Nicky Heat, then so are we.
00:34So how long have you two been sleeping together?
00:36Excuse me?
00:37I am not going to leave you alone.
00:40Why don't you two escort the body to the morgue once you're dressed, of course.
00:44B. U. R. Burn.
00:47Nicky will burn.
00:48Somebody always has to die, Nicky.
00:50If the man in the window was Ben Conrad, he would have shot himself on the left side.
00:53Ben's not our killer.
00:54Beckett.
00:55What castle?
00:56He wasn't Ben Conrad.
00:57He's not the killer.
00:58The killer's still alive.
00:59The killer's still alive.
01:00Goodbye, Nicky.
01:01Goodbye, Nicky.
01:02Goodbye, Nicky.
01:03Goodbye, Nicky.
01:04Goodbye, Nicky.
01:05Goodbye, Nicky.
01:06Goodbye, Nicky.
01:08Goodbye, Nicky.
01:09dens
01:27Kate?
01:28Kate?
01:30Kate?
01:33Kate?
01:36Kate?
01:37Kate!
01:49Kate!
01:52You're alive.
01:54Oh, and you're naked.
01:55Castle, turn around.
01:58You know, your apartment is on fire.
02:01Now might not be the best time for modesty.
02:03Castle, hand me a towel.
02:07The towels are on fire.
02:08But what about the bathroom?
02:09Do you have anything to wear that's not flammable?
02:13Sorry.
02:15Give me your jacket.
02:18Don't look.
02:19I'm not.
02:20Don't look.
02:21I'm not looking.
02:23Okay.
02:28Right?
02:29Yeah.
02:30Okay.
02:31I drove into the tub just as a blue.
02:34Can you walk?
02:35Yeah, it's just a little banged up.
02:41Nice and easy.
02:42Yeah.
02:42Nice and easy.
02:44You need any pain?
02:46Well, not nearly as much as you.
02:48It's killing you, isn't it?
02:50What?
02:52Having to wait this long to tell me how you banged down the door.
02:55You want me to start from the beginning?
02:56It's killing me.
03:02Hi.
03:03Hi.
03:03Hi.
03:06Beckett?
03:07How you doing?
03:09Yeah, fine.
03:10What'd you see when you came home?
03:11Yeah.
03:12The doors were locked.
03:13Like I left them.
03:14The windows were shut.
03:15And I don't know.
03:16Nothing seemed out of place.
03:18But I don't know.
03:19You know?
03:20Because I thought the case was done.
03:21It's not.
03:22But you are.
03:22What?
03:25Until we find the right guy.
03:26Wait.
03:28This is my apartment.
03:30Okay?
03:31My life and my case.
03:33Okay, fine.
03:35My rules.
03:37You do what I say, when I say, and how I say it.
03:41And there will be a security detail on you at all times.
03:44Fine.
03:44Good.
03:45Fire's out.
03:45You can head up now if you want.
03:46Did anybody find my father's watch?
04:04It's not the hole.
04:05The damage isn't as bad in your bedroom.
04:07But your clothes do smell like smoke and explosives.
04:09Does anyone know if insurance pays for dry cleaning?
04:12I've got the blast seat here.
04:13Well, it had to have been a small device.
04:16Otherwise, I would have seen it.
04:18The lab will have the breakdown by morning.
04:20But that's cyclonite.
04:21Same thing we found in Ben Conrad's apartment.
04:25So what tipped you?
04:26It wasn't me.
04:28It was Castle.
04:30Well, our supposed killer Ben Conrad shot himself with his right hand.
04:33Yet, the man that Detective Beckett and I saw in the window was holding the gun in his left hand.
04:38The shot went off just as soon as he stepped out of view.
04:40He wouldn't have, couldn't have had time to switch hands that fast.
04:44A real killer shot Ben Conrad, placed the gun in his hand, making it look like a suicide.
04:48We were outside the door.
04:49We heard a shot.
04:51There's no way else out of that apartment.
04:54So if Ben Conrad didn't kill himself, then our killer was in the apartment the whole time.
04:58How the hell did we miss him?
05:00Let's go find out.
05:01You guys?
05:15Take a look in here.
05:19I think I found something.
05:20What have you got?
05:23Maybe his hiding place.
05:24Discarded clothing.
05:38The exact same outfit Conrad was wearing when we found him.
05:42Right down to the fake beard to match Conrad's.
05:45The killer wanted us to think he was Conrad.
05:47That's why the man that I saw in the window, the one from our eyewitness accounts, led us straight to Ben.
05:54Which means the real Ben Conrad was being held hostage in his own apartment the entire case.
06:01He must have been bound and duct taped with no idea that he was being blamed for three murders.
06:07Each of our victims was carefully selected for their connection to Ben Conrad, making him the perfect pansy.
06:12The killer's a chameleon, changing his identity to get close to the victims.
06:17He becomes Ben Conrad.
06:19Becomes invisible.
06:20Nobody's looking for him.
06:21And then we come here and we find exactly what we expect to find.
06:24Our suspect dead on the ground.
06:26Case closed.
06:27Meanwhile, our killer was right here, hidden in this secret room.
06:30He was here the whole time and we missed him.
06:35I'll get the evidence team down here.
06:36See what they can find.
06:38Beckett.
06:39You are supposed to be dead.
06:41I'm sorry to disappoint you.
06:43It was supposed to be over, Nikki.
06:45It was supposed to be done.
06:47But now, now I have to keep going.
06:50He used her cell phone and then he left it on so we could trace it.
07:13Gloria Rodriguez.
07:16It's her ID badge from a hotel in Midtown.
07:19I'll be on her way home from work.
07:20Huh.
07:21Found a slug.
07:22Letter at you?
07:24No, it looks clean.
07:27The other murders were planned.
07:29This one was done out of anger.
07:31Wanted to be in control.
07:32All because I lived.
07:34I can't blame yourself for that.
07:35How did he know you lived?
07:42He was watching.
07:44At the aftermath.
07:46Everything about this guy's profile tells me he was watching at the other crime scenes.
07:51Yeah, but the first thing we did was compare crime scene photos.
07:54Yeah, I know we ran them through facial recognition, but he was there.
07:57I know he was there.
07:58He wouldn't be in the crowd.
08:00He'd know that's where we'd look.
08:01No, he hides in plain sight.
08:03He's a chameleon.
08:04We didn't see him in the crowd because he was dressed as one of us.
08:10Same cop, 30 photos.
08:12Now, one of them has a clear shot of his face.
08:15That is not a coincidence.
08:17He knew where the camera was.
08:18He knows their playbook.
08:20I'm going to get Ryan and Esposito to canvas the other uniforms.
08:22Maybe they can get a description.
08:24Not that it'll do any good.
08:26The last sketch we got of this guy, he looked like Ben Conrad.
08:29Okay, do you have a better idea?
08:31Because I am all out.
08:33And if we don't catch him soon, he's going to kill again.
08:35You can't take this personally.
08:36The hell I can't.
08:38He just blew up my apartment.
08:40I think that's pretty damn personal.
08:42Do you know how they caught Son of Sam?
08:44A parking ticket.
08:45Bergowitz Park too close to a fire hydrant.
08:47All we need to find is our parking ticket, and we catch this son of a bitch.
08:52As smart as he is, he's got a fatal flaw.
08:54Hubris.
08:55It's not enough for him to be smart.
08:57He wants us to know it.
08:58He wants us to know he fooled us.
09:01All of his first victims.
09:03The personal injury lawyer, the dog walker, the taxidermist.
09:07They all link back to the death of Ben Conrad's dog.
09:13How could our killer have known all the players in someone else's life?
09:17He must have known Ben Conrad.
09:19So that's where we start.
09:20We treat Ben Conrad as the first victim in this case.
09:25And then we find out where he intersected with our killer.
09:27Dad!
09:32Hey, hey, oh, hey, oh, I'm all right.
09:35I'm all right.
09:36Where's Detective Beckett?
09:37At the precinct.
09:39I can't imagine how she survived that explosion.
09:42Where was she when it went off?
09:43She was there.
09:44She, uh, jumped into the bathtub.
09:47The bathroom door and the cast-iron tub protected her from the blast.
09:50Oh.
09:51Dad, why is that person going after Detective Beckett?
09:54Well, at the moment, all we have is a theory, but we know more now.
09:58And we have a strategy.
10:00Do you think we'll come after you?
10:01Oh, sweetheart, I'm going to be fine.
10:03You are stuck with me for a long, long time.
10:04You know, I'm supposed to move out today.
10:06I think I should stay here with Alexis.
10:07Well, there's no need.
10:08Montgomery has someone keeping an eagle eye on our building.
10:10But all the same, we should be on the alert.
10:16I need to go change.
10:18Go back and help.
10:21Sadie.
10:22Oh, Jesus.
10:23Oh.
10:26Hey.
10:28Hey.
10:29Where is everybody?
10:31Ryan and Esposito are talking to Conrad's sister,
10:35and Agent Shaw is briefing the mayor.
10:38Oh.
10:40I'm sure he'll be less than thrilled to learn that Conrad is just another victim.
10:44Nothing like the threat of being murdered by a serial killer to stifle tourism.
10:48And it doesn't help that everyone in the city thinks that we caught the guy.
10:51Speaking of Ben Conrad, what have you found out?
10:5434 years old, never married.
10:56I'm going out on a limb here saying, judging from his relationship with his dog, Mr. Bumpkins,
11:02he didn't have a girlfriend.
11:03Yeah, well, other than the people that we've already run down from the dog park,
11:06he doesn't even have friends.
11:07The man stuffed his dog.
11:09Well, Conrad's sister confirms that he was a loner, told her when he lost his job a couple
11:14of months ago that he spent his days emailing resumes at coffee shops that offer free internet.
11:19And other than Bumpkins, his only other joy in life was at Nick's.
11:22Poor guy.
11:22Jordan said the profile indicated that the killer hunted Conrad.
11:26If he wasn't a friend, then he must have met up with him somewhere where people strike
11:29up a casual conversation.
11:31We figured if he camped out with his laptop at a coffee shop, our killer could have sat down
11:34next to him, and they got to talking.
11:36His sister said that he was a Nick's fan?
11:39What's missing from these pictures?
11:41Good taste.
11:42Very rough.
11:43Decent lighting.
11:44A TV, which means he would have to walk to a local bar in order to watch the games.
11:49Yeah, if you're a Nick's fan, you've got to share your pain with somebody.
11:51True.
11:52Okay, you two take all of the coffee shops within a five-block radius of Conrad's apartment.
11:56See if anyone remembers him talking to a customer.
11:58Castle and I will take the bars, and if you keep quoting Jordan, I am going to turn the
12:02radio way up.
12:04I'm jealous.
12:11The puff crawls are supposed to reach it with a smile and a shot of Jaeger.
12:15Not, no, we've never seen the guy before keep moving.
12:17This is beginning to feel pointless.
12:19Buck up, Castle.
12:20I got a feeling this place is different.
12:27It's still an ongoing investigation, so we're going to need you to take that banner down.
12:32I was just trying to work an angle.
12:34You should understand what it's like being a woman in a man's world.
12:39Did Ben Conrad ever talk to you about the recent death of his dog?
12:44Sure.
12:45He loved to flap his gums to me about that little drop kick.
12:48One time, he cried.
12:49What about the other customers?
12:51He ever talked to them?
12:52He mostly drank alone and watched the games.
12:54A couple of weeks ago, he did strike it up with some guy.
12:56Can you describe him?
12:57Average looking.
12:58A bit off, like Conrad.
13:00He sat at that high top over there.
13:02I figured, hey, words of a feather.
13:05This other guy, did he ever pay with a credit card?
13:09The only time he ever said two words to me was the other week when he asked me to call him a cab.
13:13Do you remember when?
13:13I remember exactly when.
13:15The Knicks were in overtime, and I missed the end while I was on hold.
13:19Thanks.
13:20Cab company said that they sent a taxi there.
13:2310.45 the night of the Knicks game.
13:25Got the drop off point?
13:26Yeah, West Village, corner of Varick and Downing.
13:30Home?
13:30You know, I bet about 50,000 people live within walking distance of that corner.
13:34We could canvas local businesses.
13:35For an average looking white guy?
13:38I mean, we can't even be sure what he looks like.
13:41Looks aren't the only method we have to identify him.
13:44We also have behavior.
13:45You think you can identify him through behavior?
13:47Well, originally his behavior seemed inconsistent, but that was because he was pretending to be someone else.
13:54We know a lot more now.
13:56He is the show-off.
13:57A game player with an exceptionally high IQ, but it's not enough to be smart.
14:02He also has a pathological need to validate it, which tells me that he probably belongs to an organization like Mensa or Prometheus.
14:13He is a chameleon, so we can assume that he is living under a stolen identity.
14:18And he is literate.
14:21He's already shown certain dispositions in his fascination with Nicky Heat.
14:26So we've drawn up a list of periodicals and magazines that he likely subscribes to.
14:33I get half of these.
14:35Yes, and you also kill people for a living.
14:38In your books.
14:40This is a pretty wide net.
14:42So is Varric and Downing, and so are memberships in high IQ societies.
14:47But put them all together, and sometimes we get lucky.
14:52You mean like Berkowitz's parking ticket?
14:54Oh, it's not always that neat.
14:55You just keep adding pieces of the puzzle until the picture emerges.
14:59Collated subscription information from the profiled periodicals, as well as member lists from the high IQ organizations within a one-mile radius of the Varric and Downing area.
15:09You have 17 hits.
15:11Run the names through a database.
15:13Most serials have some kind of indication of violent behavior, criminal or psychiatric records.
15:18Negative for any matches.
15:22All right, well, at least we gave it a shot.
15:24I'll have our teams interview these guys.
15:26Huh, what?
15:27Listen here, Chris Doherty.
15:29He's got a recent driver's license, but according to his social security number, Chris Doherty died six years ago.
15:37He's living under a stolen identity.
15:39So does it say where our dead guy supposedly lived?
15:46His address puts him half a block from Downing and Berk.
15:48Okay.
15:49Now I'm officially impressed.
15:51Don't be.
15:52Not until he's in our custody.
15:54Let's roll.
15:54Go, go, go.
16:15Yeah, clear.
16:17Member, clear.
16:19All clear.
16:20All clear.
16:24All clear.
16:54All clear.
17:25He's done this before.
17:34Hey, I signed this.
17:37To Scott, write what you know.
17:39Scott, do you remember him?
17:41No, but I signed hundreds of books.
17:44His manifesto?
17:46His manuscript.
17:47Dead heat?
17:49Heat examined the bullets, each of them perfectly engraved with a letter.
17:53She rearranged them like scrabble tiles until they spelled her name.
17:57A book.
17:57All of this over a damn book.
18:00He was writing about his murders long before Nicky Heat.
18:03Night terrors.
18:04Looks like it's about killing prostitutes in Seattle.
18:06Looks like it's about killing prostitutes in Seattle.
18:07I don't remember that case.
18:09I thought they caught that guy.
18:11Not so much caught as found dead.
18:13He hanged himself.
18:15Another patsy, just like Ben Conrad.
18:17He gets away with murder.
18:19Why would he write about it?
18:20Why risk it?
18:22Writing is probably a symptom of the psychosis, like taking a trophy.
18:27He both memorializes the deed and distances himself from it, like turning fact into fiction.
18:32And then along comes Nicky Heat, tailor-made for his psychosis.
18:38One part fact, one part fiction, just like him.
18:43What better for him to challenge?
18:45Must have known.
18:46By going after Beckett, we'd realize Ben wasn't the killer.
18:49Why tip his hand?
18:50It's a part of the thrill.
18:52He needed to escalate in order to feel alive.
18:54Or he's a psychotic, obsessive-compulsive and has already decided how it has to end.
19:01Agent Shaw.
19:02I've been dusting for Prince trying to get an ID.
19:04Problem is, there aren't any.
19:06That's not possible.
19:07You can't live in a place without leaving Prince.
19:09Unless he doesn't have any.
19:11He likes to play with fire.
19:12Maybe he'd burn them off.
19:14Well, without Prince, we can't get an ID.
19:16We don't need an ID.
19:17Put this back where you found it.
19:18Let's unass this place right now.
19:20He's got to come back sometime.
19:28Agent Shaw, my surveillance team is moving into position now.
19:31Copy that.
19:32Standing by.
19:36Be advised.
19:38Our subject is a white male, 6'2", approximately 200 pounds.
19:42Profiles suggest he studied our tactics and has prepared for contingency.
19:46So communique people.
19:47If he shows no one, I repeat, no one is to make a move until Agent Shaw gives the order.
19:54Man, it's all here.
19:56The engraved bullets, the cat and mouse phone calls, the cipher.
20:00Only it's Nikki Heat investigating and she's always one step behind him.
20:03Till now.
20:04Castle, what part of unass, don't you understand?
20:08All of it.
20:10For future reference, it means get the hell out and don't take anything.
20:15Unass.
20:16Nice.
20:17Unass.
20:17Is he always like this?
20:20Castle has the attention span of a cocker spaniel.
20:23Oh, and the loyalty.
20:26The way he follows you around.
20:28From what I've observed, this unorthodox partnership works well for you.
20:35For now.
20:37Is it enough?
20:38Is it enough for you to hop on a Learjet six times a year, catching serial killers across
20:44the country?
20:45I'd be lying if I said it was easy.
20:48How do you manage?
20:51You miss a few birthdays and you make a lot of phone calls.
20:57My husband tucks her in every night.
21:00Tells her that mommy's off slaying dragons.
21:02The trick to this kind of operation is having enough personnel in play to take the target
21:10down, but not so many that he can smell a trap, which is why we have to get our people
21:14to go downwind.
21:16Avery, tell our guy on the roof to find another spot.
21:20I can see him from the street.
21:22Viggin?
21:22The guy on the roof.
21:24Southeast corner.
21:25One with the binocs.
21:27We don't have anybody up there.
21:29It's him.
21:30All units, be advised.
21:32We have contact Southeast corner, Bedford and Downing.
21:36Subject is on the roof.
21:40We're blown.
21:41We're blown.
21:41All units, go hot now.
21:47Stay in the van.
21:48You're the target.
21:52Now you know what it's like for me.
21:56Viggin.
21:59Viggin, seal off the west side.
22:02That's him.
22:05He must have jumped the rooftops.
22:07He's getting away.
22:10Beckett!
22:11Wait!
22:13No.
22:20What's that?
22:20What's that?
22:21Pardon me.
22:29NYPD on the ground now!
22:34Get down!
22:35Come on!
22:37Come on!

22:49Stop!
22:50Let's go.
23:20Let's go.
23:50Let's go.
23:52Scott Dunn.
23:53Busted, you smug jackhole.
23:55Lost a child, sealed juvie record, three-year stint in the Bay Area Psychiatric Institute,
24:00and a single arson conviction.
24:02Ray burns his hands in a fire.
24:04He hit all the cliches.
24:06Last seen February 15, 2004.
24:08Six years ago, he simply disappears.
24:10I want every bit of research you have on this guy on my desk half an hour.
24:14You know, I'll have my guy's contact Dunn's family in case he reaches out.
24:19You're out.
24:20I'm sorry, what?
24:21I told you to stay in the van.
24:22I just broke this case.
24:23I need people backing me I can trust.
24:25Well, hold on a second.
24:26Sorry, detective.
24:27You're off the case.
24:32She's got jurisdiction.
24:33Becky, there's nothing I can do.
24:34Sir, this is my case.
24:36He's coming after me.
24:37Like it or not, I'm already on the front line.
24:40You and Castle found him.
24:41That's the hard part.
24:42They've frozen his financials.
24:44They've alerted TSA.
24:45His face is all over the news.
24:46We got him cornered.
24:47And you're the one who taught me that when you have an animal cornered,
24:50that that's when they're the most unpredictable.
24:52Yes, and that's also when they make mistakes.
24:54He does something stupid, and we will take him down.
24:56And you've been running flat out for days.
24:57You need to go home and get some sleep.
24:59Sir, I don't have a home.
25:01Yes, you do.
25:03It's a secure building with an extra bedroom,
25:05with people who care about you.
25:07With the federal detail at the door, it's the safest place in the city.
25:09Thank you, Castle, but I couldn't.
25:11You can, and you will.
25:13Detective, I took that security off of your apartment,
25:16and that gave him an opportunity to get to you.
25:18And I'm not going to make the same mistake twice.
25:20Consider it an order.
25:30Well, who would have thought that I would be homeless and caseless in one day?
25:35I know I'm the king of going rogue, but you were right to chase after Dunn.
25:40And Agent Shaw was right to kick me off the case.
25:43I would have done the same thing if I was in her spot.
25:46I'm too close to it.
25:48I'm sure after all this you're a little sorry you let me follow you around.
25:52No, not this.
25:53All the other annoying things that you do, but not this.
25:56What about you?
25:59Are you sorry that you ever wrote Heat Wave?
26:02The way I look at it now, if it wasn't for Nicky Heat,
26:04this guy would have just gone on killing
26:06because he wouldn't have met anyone smart enough to catch him.
26:10I'm speaking, of course, about Special Agent Shaw.
26:15Night, Castle.
26:17Good night.
26:19First thing in the morning, I'll check your homework, okay?
26:23It's time for you to get some sleep.
26:28Okay.
26:31Oh, I love you too, sweetie.
26:34Good night.
26:48Hello, Jordan.
27:02Martha.
27:04Kate.
27:06I'm here on orders from the FBI.
27:10Darling, I'm hardly the one to judge.
27:12I'm sorry, I wouldn't impose, but my place is...
27:15Ashes.
27:16No, I know.
27:17Well, that explains the pat down by the hunky guy with the earbud.
27:22I assumed it was Richard making a dramatic statement
27:24about the conditions for my dropping by unannounced.
27:28I just woke up and literally smelled the coffee and the bacon.
27:33Dropping by to return your key?
27:35Very funny, very funny.
27:36No, I am looking for my aqua gloves because these flash.
27:41Well, she cooks.
27:42Actually, my mom was an amazing cook.
27:45She used to make a Sunday brunch,
27:47and I would get the choice between pancakes, omelets, waffles.
27:53Wow, that's funny.
27:54Every Sunday, my mom would have me make her an ice pack and a Bloody Mary.
27:58Don't listen to them.
27:59That only happened twice.
28:02Tops.
28:04My girl.
28:05Oh, I missed you.
28:07I missed you.
28:08Choppa, choppa, choppa.
28:09I think it was months.
28:10It's been a day.
28:12Excuse me.
28:16Beckett.
28:19Okay.
28:20I'll be right there.
28:23Castle, that was Agent Avery.
28:25Jordan never made it home last night.
28:26She left the precinct just after nine.
28:40Husband said she never came home.
28:41What about the car?
28:42Stationary at this location since the transmitter was activated 20 minutes ago.
28:47Our vehicle security tech said this was his way in.
28:49So he was already in the car waiting for her when she got in.
28:57The purse is still in here.
28:58There's no bullet hole.
29:00Medium velocity spatter.
29:02So he leans in from behind, she elbows him in the nose.
29:07He recoils, and a blood trail flies from that direction.
29:12She took a shot.
29:14And left us some breadcrumbs.
29:15Here's another one.
29:17Then another one here.
29:19His nose is still bleeding, but he has Jordan at gunpoint.
29:24And he brings her to here, where there's a car waiting.
29:26There's tire treads.
29:28Let's run down reports of all stolen vehicles from the past 24 hours.
29:32Beckett.
29:33There's nothing like the bond between girlfriends, is there, Nikki?
29:34You must really miss her.
29:35Where is she?
29:37Safe.
29:38For now.
29:39If you hurt her, I will.
29:41Well, that all depends on you, doesn't it?
29:43This is your story, Nikki, not hers.
29:45She's just an extra.
29:46The showdown only works if it's between you and me.
29:48Come to the Battery Park Ferry Terminal at midnight tonight, Nikki.
29:49And come alone, or she dies.
29:50How can I be sure she's still alive?
29:51I'll send you an e-mail.
29:52Say hi to your friends, Agent Shaw.
29:53I've got a hell done.
29:54If you hurt her, you hurt her.
29:55If you hurt her, I will.
29:56If you hurt her, I will.
29:57Well, that all depends on you, doesn't it?
29:58This is your story, Nikki, not hers.
29:59She's just an extra.
30:00The showdown only works if it's between you and me.
30:01Come to the Battery Park Ferry Terminal at midnight tonight, Nikki.
30:02And come alone, or she dies.
30:04How can I be sure she's still alive?
30:05I'll send you an e-mail.
30:06Say hi to your friends, Agent Shaw.
30:07Go to hell, Tom.
30:08I don't care if it's your story, detective.
30:09I'm bringing her back alive.
30:10It's not my story, it's his.
30:12And if Agent Shaw was here, she'd say the same thing.
30:15Whatever he's got planned, it's a trap.
30:16If I don't show up, she dies.
30:17But if you do, you both die.
30:18We need to get to him before the exchange.
30:19How can I be sure she's still alive?
30:20How can I be sure she's still alive?
30:21I'll send you an e-mail.
30:22Say hi to your friends, Agent Shaw.
30:23I've got a hell done.
30:24I don't care if it's your story, detective.
30:25I'm bringing her back alive.
30:26It's not my story, it's his.
30:27If I was here, she'd say the same thing.
30:28Whatever he's got planned, it's a trap.
30:30If I don't show up, she dies.
30:32But if you do, you both die.
30:34We need to get to him before the exchange.
30:36We trace the e-mail's IP address to an internet cafe in Midtown.
30:40Not that it helps us find her.
30:45There's no reflective surfaces and the windows are all blacked out.
30:48Not all of them.
30:49Look.
30:52Let's out that window.
30:53Agent Avery, if you don't mind me rejoining this investigation,
30:56I suggest we take this party next door.
30:58Zoom in.
31:02What are those?
31:03Buildings?
31:04Bridge towers.
31:06Call up all the bridges in the city.
31:07See if our partial view fits.
31:12Ah, a Whitestone.
31:14It means we're looking south and east.
31:15But we still need another coordinate to find them on the axis.
31:18Play the audio again.
31:20But this time without the voices.
31:24And get rid of all the traffic as well.
31:26That's a subway.
31:29And not just any subway.
31:31Those are elevated tracks.
31:32I'll pull up the subway map.
31:34See where it intersects with the approximate line of sight.
31:37That's the IRT Pelham Line.
31:38What's the stop that intersects?
31:39Zarega Avenue Station.
31:40Zarega Avenue Station.
31:42Got it.
31:43Got it.
31:44Got it.
31:45Got it.
32:16Got it.
32:17Got it.
32:18Got it.
32:19There's a hot spot on the fourth floor.
32:20That's where he's holding her.
32:21Team's going to enter on his blind side of the building.
32:23This is wrong.
32:25What's wrong?
32:26I feel like Princess Leia when the Millennium Falcon escaped the Death Star.
32:29It's too easy.
32:30What do you mean too easy?
32:31We've seen the sneak peek out the window waiting to record the message just as the train was
32:34going by.
32:35He led us here.
32:36You remember how perfect everything was with Conrad.
32:37Yeah.
32:38I got the trap memo too.
32:39That doesn't mean I'm going to sit on my ass and do nothing.
32:41That's my partner up there.
32:42She'll be dead the moment you breach that door.
32:47That's why we're not going to breach.
32:49Hostage exchange goes down at midnight.
32:51That means he has to move it before then.
32:53We move in quietly.
32:54Take position.
32:55And then as soon as Dunn comes out?
32:57I'll put him down.
32:58Like the rabid dog he is.
33:00Make an entry to the south side.
33:20I don't know how he's doing it, but he's not up there.
33:46And what are you basing that on?
33:47I don't know how I know.
33:49I just...
33:50You just what?
33:52Castle, you and I have known each other long enough for me to know that sometimes your
33:56silly theories are right.
33:57So if you have a reason to believe that he's not up there, then you need to tell me why
34:01now.
34:02Just because it's not how I would write it.
34:08What happens in your version?
34:10He lets us think we've found him to lure us here.
34:13Let's the FBI converge on the building when he's not in there.
34:16Where is he?
34:17You're by, watching, watching it all unfold.
34:20He's got something planned.
34:22If it were me, I'd wait until they all got inside, got settled into position, and then
34:29I'd blow the building.
34:31Where is he watching from?
34:33I don't know.
34:34He wants to show he's smarter than us, so he'd be somewhere close by and out of the
34:41way.
34:42Castle, if it were you, where would you be watching from?
34:47I wouldn't be watching from this building where they are.
34:50I'd be watching from here.
34:52Come on.
34:56Here.
34:57Want me to hold it while you tie your shoe?
35:12No, I want you to take it.
35:13Just in case.
35:14Oh, that's all.
35:15Alright, let's go.
35:17Give me another ring.
35:18I'm almost sad to see it come to an end agent show.
35:22You know, I'd expected more from you.
35:29I heard such a great thing.
35:34Castle, he's there.
35:39I'm gonna draw him away.
35:41You free agent Shaw and get some help.
35:45Castle, you're my only best friend.
35:51You're my only backup.
35:54Okay, go.
36:02I thought it was me you were after.
36:09Nicky.
36:12You came.
36:21Put your hands up, Dunn, or I will take you down.
36:32I've got a better idea, Nicky.
36:34Why don't you put your gun down?
36:37Or I'll detonate the 19 pounds of cyclonite that I have in the building across the street.
36:42Turning Agent Avery and his entry team into mist.
36:46If you shoot me, Nicky, it might cause my body to tense up and push the button.
36:51Do you really want to take that chance?
36:55They're not in the building anymore.
36:58I only sent them in there to throw you off.
37:03You're lying.
37:05Why would they be in there if I knew that you were in here?
37:10Face it, Dunn.
37:12I beat you.
37:14Nicky Heat won.
37:17No.
37:19No!
37:20No!
37:21Where's my people?
37:35Across the street, sitting on 19 pounds of cyclonite.
37:39She was bluffing?
37:40She was profiling.
37:41Go help break it, flank her.
37:42Go, go, I've got this.
37:43Don, give it up.
38:03Nobody has to die.
38:04Go, go, go, go!
38:21Wait!
38:22Come on!
38:24Come on!
38:25No!
38:26Come on!
38:28Ah!
38:29No!
38:29That's how all my stories end.
38:36With someone else dead.
38:38No!
38:44I believe this is your caller.
38:50This isn't overheat.
38:52It's not heat.
38:54It's Beckett.
38:56You have the right to remain silent.
38:59So shut the hell up.
39:07Ditto.
39:11I love a shot, Castle.
39:15I was aiming for his head.
39:24Hey, we thinking maybe you could talk to Montgomery about finding some room in the budget for those smart boards?
39:28Sure.
39:29While they're at it, maybe they can buy us Batmobile.
39:32That'd be cool.
39:32Yeah.
39:33Our murder boards are just fine.
39:35We're a caveman.
39:39Agent Shaw?
39:40I was just writing you a note.
39:42Don is being transported to the tombs, where he'll enjoy his stay in the intensive management unit with the state's most dangerous criminals.
39:48Well, he's getting his 15 minutes.
39:51That's what he wanted this whole time.
39:53Yeah, but it'll be on our terms.
39:54I want you to know that I learned a lot from you on this one.
40:00You did most of the heavy lifting.
40:02Honestly, the thing that impressed me most is that you came in with Castle.
40:06You know, some people would call that foolish.
40:10You made a tough decision on your feet.
40:12Use the resources at hand.
40:13I'd say that's heroic and somewhat poetic.
40:17In the end, Don did actually face Nicky Heat.
40:21She is, after all, part you, part Castle.
40:24He cares about you, Kate.
40:29You may not see it.
40:30You may not be ready to, but he does.
40:35Yeah, well, the situation with Castle is complicated.
40:40Ladies?
40:43Detective Beckett?
40:46It's been a pleasure.
40:47We'll see you around.
40:49Castle, thank you for your help.
40:52You are a valuable asset to Detective Beckett's team.
40:56Well, it would be great if you would call her and remind her of that from time to time.
41:06Wow.
41:07What's this?
41:08Open it.
41:15My father's watch.
41:20You're welcome.
41:22I found it in the wreckage.
41:23Had it fixed.
41:26I've got good news.
41:27Yeah?
41:28I talked to Avery about buying one of those incredible Fedmobiles.
41:32Without the weapons, of course, but I could stock it with my own gadgets.
41:35I could get Ryder airbrushed across the back window.
41:37Ryan and Esposito have a better car than you do.
41:40I'm just embarrassed to have criminals in the back of that thing.
41:42And I don't know about your seat, but mine's got a spring that hits me the...
41:45Oh, Richard, darling, you're just in time.
41:50I made dinner.
41:51Mother, what are you doing here?
41:53Well, we're eating.
41:55You know, something families do a couple of times a day.
41:58Hi, Dad.
41:59Hi.
41:59So, uh, what about Chet?
42:02Well, darling, I never said I was going to be chained to the man's side.
42:05Besides, Arthur Rogers is a woman of mystery.
42:09And in order to maintain that, I'm going to have to divide my time accordingly.
42:14Like having dual citizenship.
42:16Exactly.
42:18Besides, it's better for my relationship with Chet.
42:21So, if I have to eat a few meals a week and do all of my laundry here,
42:26I'll just have to, um, make that work.
42:30I think that sounds like a fine plan.
42:31Hmm.
42:32Well, I hope you'll be comfortable sleeping in the home theater chairs I'm having delivered to your room.
42:37They do recline.
42:39Ah.
42:44I think that sounds like a fine plan.
