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.
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, like Starsky and Hutch.
00:27Turner and Hooch.
00:28You do remind me a little of Hooch.
00:30And did you hear?
00:32Our favorite golfer is in the news again.
00:35Missed a charity tournament over the weekend.
00:38Really unfortunate.
00:39The world's top golfer had to pull out.
00:42In fact, it's the first time he's pulled out of anything in five years.
00:45Oh!
00:46Hello!
00:47Ow, shit!
00:48Do you think, Hank, should I take a mulligan?
00:50No!
00:51Play through, buddy!
00:52Ah, well, my friend, we have a great show for you tonight.
00:54Ellie Monroe...
00:55Mr. Castle?
00:56Hi, I'm Caleb.
00:57Please follow me.
00:57Sure.
00:58My favorite writer, Richard Castle.
01:00Here you go, Mr. Castle.
01:03Deb, the makeup artist will take care of you from here.
01:05Thank you, Kayla.
01:06And you're up right after Miss Monroe.
01:10Hi, it's Ellie.
01:12Rick.
01:12Can I just say, wow, like, I can't believe I'm meeting you right now.
01:17Really?
01:17Well, you're, like, my favorite author ever.
01:20I mean, I've read Heat Wave at least three times.
01:22Can I tell you, I have seen every movie you've ever been in.
01:24Really?
01:25Oh, not Viper Mountain, I hope.
01:27Yes, Viper Mountain.
01:28You were the best thing in that movie.
01:30As soon as that snake ate you, the whole movie fell apart.
01:32Folks, please help me in welcoming Richard Castle.
01:37Richard Castle.
01:40Oh, it looks good.
01:43Welcome.
01:45First of all, congratulations on Heat Wave, New York Times bestseller.
01:49And you know what?
01:50I really loved writing it.
01:52Well, the paperback comes out July 27th, right?
01:54July 27th, that's right.
01:55And it's being made into a movie.
01:58Now, you worked with actual NYPD homicide detectives to research Heat Wave.
02:03Yes, yes, I did.
02:04And they still won't let me carry a gun.
02:07I didn't know you worked with law enforcement.
02:10That's kind of my weak spot.
02:12Hello.
02:12Waiter, check, please.
02:15Wow, you guys are single, right?
02:17Well, actually, not anymore, Bobby.
02:18Thank you very much.
02:20Wow.
02:20The camera really does add 10 pounds to his ego.
02:25Call me old-fashioned when a beautiful movie star is impressed with my fake law enforcement
02:29credentials, I mean.
02:30Do you think he's asked her out yet?
02:32Your father, pretty girl like that, he may have proposed by now.
02:36That's our show for tonight.
02:37Stay tuned for Late Talk with Mickey Reed.
02:40I'm Bobby Mann.
02:41Remember, folks, the boys will be back on duty tomorrow night.
02:44I always wonder what they're saying when they lean in like that.
02:53Thank you for coming.
02:55They want me dead.
02:57I'm sorry, what?
02:58I'm serious.
02:59You work with cops, right?
03:00That was a great show, guys.
03:02I'm so sorry about segment three.
03:04Next time we put the emo in a diaper.
03:06Oh, the box-in-box with Justin.
03:09Yeah.
03:09Looked great.
03:10I love it.
03:10Good.
03:10Good.
03:11Good.
03:11Good.
03:18Um, you're going orienteering, not library-ing.
03:23You sure you want to take that many books?
03:25No, we're ambitious for a five-day trip.
03:26You're going to be responsible for your own pack.
03:30I think you're supposed to be more Sacagawea than a scholarly reader.
03:34Besides, look at all those pages.
03:35The trees might want revenge.
03:37Richard?
03:39What's wrong?
03:41Bobby Mann is dead.
03:43What?
03:44What happened?
03:45They're saying he had a heart attack.
03:52I'm telling you, the guy said that somebody wanted him dead,
03:55and then he ends up dead.
03:57That can't be a coincidence.
03:58Bobby Mann had a history of heart disease,
04:00and on the autopsy reports,
04:01it states that the cause of death was a heart attack.
04:04That can't be a coincidence either.
04:06Did Lainey do the autopsy?
04:07No, but she sent it to me.
04:10The guy was walking his dog,
04:11saw Mr. Mann collapse on the sidewalk, alone.
04:14There's no puncture wounds, no bruising,
04:16and the tox panel came back negative.
04:17There's no foul play, Castle.
04:22I talked to his producer this morning.
04:24She said that Mann left the studio at 1245 in his Bugatti Veyron.
04:29That's a $2 million car.
04:30He collapsed on foot a few blocks from his house at 450.
04:34So?
04:36So where's the car?
04:37He's like a gazillionaire, Castle.
04:39He probably just parked it
04:40and expected someone else to pick it up the next morning.
04:42In my book, Gathering Storm,
04:44the former KGB official killed with an undetectable poison
04:47that stopped the heart.
04:49What if that's what happened to Mann?
04:50Need I remind you that you make up stuff for a living
04:53and there is no such poison in real life.
04:56And if there was,
04:57there would be a whole slew of angry spouses
04:59who'd be getting away with murder.
05:01Could you just have Lainey take a closer look?
05:04Please.
05:08You know how many strings I had to pull for this castle?
05:10If I'm wrong, I'll reimburse the city.
05:13To hell with the city.
05:14It's me you're gonna owe.
05:15I take spa certificates, jewelry, and cash.
05:17Duly noted.
05:18What's that?
05:19The contents of Bobby Mann's pockets when he was brought in.
05:23I'm gonna go check on the laps.
05:24Okay.
05:26What are you doing?
05:28It's called investigating.
05:29You should try it.
05:31I usually wait until there's a crime.
05:33Cell phone, money clip.
05:36He stuck a piece of gum to a paper
05:37before he put it in his pocket.
05:39One of his last acts was not littering.
05:41Yes, but there's a word on this paper.
05:43Tori could be a mystery woman.
05:45Wow, Castle.
05:46Crack in this case.
05:47Wide open.
05:48Hey, it's his idea notepad.
05:50This is a joke from last night.
05:51Charity golf.
05:52First time he's pulled out in years.
05:53Do you realize that you are now investigating a heart attack?
05:58Hmm.
05:59What?
05:59His signature line of 20 years.
06:01The boys will be back on duty tomorrow night.
06:03Looks like he was thinking of changing it.
06:05The crew will be back on duty tomorrow night.
06:10Maybe he's trying to make it hipper.
06:11Hmm.
06:13We should have a signature line.
06:15She's armed.
06:16He's dangerous.
06:19No.
06:19No.
06:20How about a whole new chapter in crime solving?
06:23Oh.
06:24Chapter.
06:25Get it?
06:26No.
06:26Okay.
06:27I ran every extra tox screen outside of standard protocol.
06:32All negative.
06:33No trace of any known poisonous substance.
06:35Okay, Castle.
06:36Don't forget to tip your Emmy on the way out.
06:37Oh, not so fast.
06:39Secondary tox panel detected traces of tyramine, which is harmless, but its presence raised a
06:45red flag for me, so I ran some more tests.
06:47Bobby Mann was taking phenolzine.
06:50Phenolzine.
06:51A prescription drug for depression.
06:53So...
06:53So, phenolzine is in a class of drugs called MAO inhibitors that have powerful chondra
06:58indicators.
06:59You mean drug interactions?
07:00In this case, interactions that can kill.
07:03MAO inhibitors chondra indicate with anything fermented, wine, beer, certain kind of cheeses,
07:09even the smallest amount can trigger a hypertensive crisis.
07:13Oh, almost like an undetectable poison that's supposed to hurt.
07:15Which doesn't mean that he was murdered.
07:17He could have accidentally eaten or drank something he shouldn't have.
07:20That's what I thought.
07:20So, I ran the contents of his intestines.
07:23In the hours prior to his death, he ingested three substances.
07:26Something sugary, like hard candy.
07:28Or chewing gum.
07:29There you go.
07:30Also, cranberry juice and balsamic vinegar.
07:33Which is fermented.
07:35And there was no trace of anything that you would find balsamic on.
07:38No chicken, no fish, no pasta.
07:41Just the cranberry juice.
07:42Which could have easily masked the color and the taste of the balsamic vinegar.
07:45So, you're saying that somebody knew about Bobby Mann's condition,
07:48slipped balsamic vinegar into his cranberry juice, knowing that it would kill him.
07:51This was no accident.
07:53Bobby Mann was murdered.
07:56Well, Bobby, you were right.
07:57No crime scene.
08:11No clear place to begin the investigations.
08:13Don't you just love poisoning?
08:16Especially a poisoning without poison.
08:18Whoever did this was very smart.
08:20Chose a murder weapon that's probably in half the kitchens in the city.
08:24Good thing we're smart, too.
08:25Thanks.
08:25That was Lainey.
08:27Based on possible rates of fatal MAOI interactions,
08:30she was able to narrow the window of poisoning down between 1.30 and 4.30 in the morning.
08:34That makes this our kill zone.
08:411.30 to 4.30.
08:44What else?
08:44The lab said that there was no traces of cranberry juice or balsamic vinegar in the gum we found in Mann's pocket,
08:49so he must have chewed that before he was poisoned.
08:51Well, we know he left the studio at 12.45.
08:53Which means he wasn't poisoned there.
08:55And we know that his home security records show that he never made it there.
08:5812.45 to 4.50 in the morning.
09:00Leaves in his car.
09:01He's found on foot.
09:03So what was he doing that whole time?
09:04So, the vehicle locator at Mann's Bugatti is not sending a signal.
09:08Probably an underground parking garage.
09:10Which means it could be anywhere.
09:12All right, check his cell phone, see if he made any calls last night,
09:14and then go to his brownstone castle.
09:15And I'll head to the studio and see what we can dig up there.
09:18No, guys?
09:19Yeah.
09:20No talk of murder.
09:21The longer we can keep this away from the press, the better off we'll be.
09:24I'm sorry, I don't know where he went after the show last night.
09:28What is this about, anyway?
09:30I thought Bobby died of a heart attack, right?
09:32We're just tying up loose ends for the coroner.
09:35How was Mr. Mann acting recently?
09:37Did you notice anything unusual?
09:39Oh, he was great.
09:43Except yesterday.
09:44What happened yesterday?
09:45I don't know.
09:46I mean, he spent the morning locked up in his office alone,
09:49and then the rest of the day, he was agitated.
09:52He was acting weird.
09:52Weird?
09:53How?
09:54Paranoid.
09:55At one point he asked me if I had heard anything,
09:57and I said, about what?
09:58And he just shrugged it off.
10:00Were you aware that he was on powerful antidepressants?
10:04I mean, he tried to be very private about it,
10:06but when he went on them, he had to quit drinking,
10:08and people wondered why.
10:10So what got around?
10:11You don't think that's what killed him, do you?
10:13Something he ate or drank?
10:15He was very careful.
10:17Like I said, we're just following up.
10:20I keep looking over that curtain, you know,
10:24waiting for him to walk through.
10:26Like this was all one big publicity stunt.
10:30The two of you were close, right?
10:31Since before all this,
10:33since we were just kids together back in NAMM.
10:35So he would have told you if there was anything wrong.
10:39Like what?
10:40Like if he was concerned for his well-being.
10:42What's this all about?
10:43I thought he died of a heart attack.
10:45Just routine questioning, Mr. McPhee.
10:47You know, some of the people said that he seemed a little agitated recently.
10:51Come to think of it, he was a little preoccupied.
10:54I asked him about it after the show last night,
10:56but he insisted he was fine.
10:59Hank.
11:00And I am so sorry.
11:04Nightmares really happened, huh?
11:06You know, Mickey, host a late talk right after our show.
11:09Yes, of course.
11:10I'm a big fan.
11:11I love your whole booty roulette gag.
11:12That's great.
11:13I'm Rick.
11:13Castle.
11:14Yeah, saw you on the show last night.
11:16I'm Detective Kate Beckett.
11:17Nice to meet you.
11:18So do either of you know where Bobby went after the show last night?
11:20We're trying to track his last hours for the coroner's report.
11:24No clue.
11:25I think he said something about going to see his ex-wife.
11:29Did he say which one?
11:31How many ex-wives did he have?
11:32Six.
11:33Ranging in ages from 25 to 50.
11:38Seems every five years he traded in for the latest model.
11:40So he didn't so much marry them as lease them.
11:43So I ran all their names to the system and guess what popped up?
11:46Seems wife number five here was arrested over an altercation with Bobby at a restaurant uptown.
11:52She's got crazy eyes.
11:54There's more.
11:54According to the doorman in her building, Bobby Mann was there last night after the show.
11:59Mrs. Mann, when was the last time you saw your ex-husband?
12:02About a year ago.
12:03In court, he took out a restraining order against me.
12:09Well, according to the complaint, you did threaten to kill him.
12:13Well, I don't really remember what was said.
12:15I wish you were dead, you little we soul.
12:18He was dating a younger woman, and she looked just like me.
12:21Tell that to his previous wife.
12:23Were you aware of his dietary restrictions?
12:24Sure.
12:25Nothing fermented, or it could give him a heart attack.
12:29Why?
12:30You think I had something to do with it?
12:31You tell me, Mrs. Mann.
12:33According to your doorman, Bobby showed up at your building last night.
12:36He did?
12:37Cindy, we know you saw him.
12:39How do you know he wasn't there to see Barbara?
12:42Barbara?
12:42His first wife.
12:44She's got an apartment in the building, too.
12:47We both got him in the divorce settlement.
12:50Bobby co-owned the building.
12:52Yeah, I saw Bobby last night.
12:54He came by around one in the morning.
12:56Woke me up, as usual.
12:57Did he often surprise you in the middle of the night?
13:00I was the one woman who fell in love with him before all the fame and the money.
13:06Whenever he felt insecure, he came around.
13:09Mostly it was the same old stuff.
13:11His ratings were down, or he was getting old.
13:16But last night...
13:18What?
13:19It was different.
13:21He looked haunted.
13:24He said something was going on, something awful.
13:27What was going on?
13:29He wouldn't tell me.
13:30He asked me if I thought he was a good person.
13:34I held his hand and I said,
13:35Bobby, you're a lousy husband.
13:39But you're a hell of a man.
13:42Then he left.
13:45At what time?
13:46Around quarter after one.
13:50Did he say where he was going?
13:53No.
13:56I thought he was going home.
13:59Something awful was going on.
14:00He knew someone was after him.
14:03But he doesn't tell his ex-wife or his best friend.
14:05Instead, he tells me.
14:06Maybe it's because he knew you were working with the cops.
14:09Tell me I'm a good person.
14:11Like he was doing something he was ashamed of.
14:14Okay, neighbors confirmed Barbara Mann's story.
14:18One of them saw Bobby leave her apartment at 1.15 a.m.
14:21That's outside of our kill zone,
14:23which means we need to figure out where he went to next.
14:26Let's canvas all the garages in the area,
14:28see if we can find Mann's car.
14:29Let's also look into his financials for the usual secrets.
14:32Drug, scambling, prostitution.
14:34Yeah.
14:34Okay.
14:39Hello?
14:40Ellie, hi.
14:42Ellie Monroe from the show.
14:45Yeah, no, I know.
14:46I understand.
14:48No, I think that's a great idea.
14:51Yeah.
14:52Okay, I'll meet you there.
14:55Bye.
14:56Ellie Monroe, huh?
14:58Yeah, she's pretty upset about this whole Bobby Mann thing
15:02that we were his last guests.
15:03She thinks it would be comforting if we were to be together.
15:07Comforting?
15:08Is that what the cool kids call it these days?
15:11Wow.
15:12You are so cynical.
15:15You know, sometimes after a tragedy,
15:16two human beings just need to be with each other
15:20just for no other reason than to show each other
15:22some understanding and support.
15:24I'm just glad I can be comforting.
15:40Good morning, detective.
15:45Really?
15:46What?
15:47Lose the I just got laid voice, all right?
15:49What are you talking about?
15:51I am a trained detective, so don't bother denying it.
15:54Okay, fine.
15:56Oh, so now you're not denying it.
15:58You just told me not to.
16:02Hey, guys.
16:03Any news on the car?
16:05Nothing in any of the garages near Barbara Mann's building.
16:07So we checked restaurant valets in the area.
16:09Bobby paid the guy at Mozart's 100 bucks
16:12to keep it close while he ran up to his ex.
16:14Witness says he left a little before 1.30.
16:1661st and Central Park West.
16:23Where did he go after that?
16:25Maybe check traffic cams in the area.
16:27A guy in a sports car like that
16:28might have blasted through some red lights.
16:30That's a bit of a Hail Mary, but it's worth a try.
16:32Maybe we don't need traffic cams.
16:33Why not just the man on the street?
16:35I mean, a celebrity and a Bugatti Varon.
16:36Come on.
16:37People aren't just going to notice that.
16:38They are going to talk about it.
16:40Or more specifically, tweet.
16:42And, oh, yeah.
16:451.37 a.m.
16:46Bobby Mann, FTW.
16:47Just saw him driving some spaceship car
16:49into a garage at Broadway and 57th.
16:52Ooh, on it.
16:55FTW?
16:56For the win.
16:57Means, uh, my tweet kicks your tweet's butt.
17:00Come on, Beckett.
17:00You gotta keep up.
17:01Hang with the cool kids.
17:05I believe this is for you.
17:08I'm, I'll just, I'll just,
17:11I'm just going to take that.
17:14Pardon me a second.
17:16Hey, Ellie.
17:19Yes, yes, last night was great, wasn't it?
17:23Yeah, I'd love to.
17:25Tonight, sure.
17:27All right, I'll see you then.
17:30More comforting?
17:32Uh.
17:33Parking garage at 1525 Broadway confirms
17:36Bobby Mann pulled in at 1.37 a.m.
17:38and he never came back for his car.
17:39And what's at 1525 Broadway?
17:41The Parkview penthouse of Mickey Reed,
17:43the gregarious and affable host of Late Talk.
17:46Oh, Mickey, not so fine.
17:48Dorman let Bobby up to his place at 1.45 a.m.
17:50Neighbors complained of a loud argument.
17:52Bobby left a little after, too.
17:54So Mickey lied to us.
17:55He saw Bobby somewhere
17:56right in the middle of our kill zone.
18:00You think he was a good host?
18:01Offered Bobby a drink?
18:02This set looks like an old-age home.
18:17Everything needs to be updated.
18:19No purple, no suede, no faux finish,
18:22and get rid of this stupid thing.
18:24Measuring drapes already, Mr. Reed?
18:26Like it or not, Detective,
18:27the network wants me to take over
18:29Bobby's time slot next week
18:31right after the tribute.
18:32I know it seems callous,
18:34but it's what Bobby would have wanted.
18:36Even over his dead body.
18:38Excuse me?
18:38Why did you lie to us
18:39about seeing Mann the other night?
18:44Okay.
18:46Look, I'm sorry,
18:48but I lied because I didn't want it getting out.
18:50That you two were fighting?
18:51It's hard enough
18:52filling a man's shoes around here.
18:53I don't need the tabloids
18:55writing about us getting into it
18:56on the night he died.
18:58So I lied.
18:59So what?
18:59So you lied to a cop.
19:02Let's be realistic.
19:04The guy died from a heart attack, right?
19:07What?
19:08It was a heart attack
19:08that was a result of toxins in his system.
19:11Toxins that he ingested
19:12somewhere around the time that you saw him.
19:16So you guys are saying I killed Bobby?
19:18Why?
19:19Well, it's no secret
19:20you were supposed to get his 1130 slot,
19:22but Bobby extended his contract.
19:24Maybe you couldn't wait.
19:25You sound as demented as Bobby.
19:27What do you mean?
19:28Last time I saw him,
19:30we're best of pals, right?
19:31The other night he comes over,
19:32he's ranting and raving,
19:34talking about what a disloyal punk I've been.
19:35Why?
19:36Man, I don't know.
19:37All he kept saying was he knew things.
19:40And I'm like,
19:40Bobby, what are you talking about?
19:42He storms out saying,
19:43I knew what I'd done.
19:44CSU's at Mickey's apartment
19:49running a sweep for our toxin.
19:50Killing the king of late night
19:52to take his throne.
19:52It's very Richard III.
19:53Appeals to the writer in me.
19:54Did you want a bite at this?
19:56Hell, I'll say God on you!
19:59And you,
20:00I don't ever want to see you
20:01on my network again.
20:02You're banned.
20:04And you,
20:05I don't know you.
20:06You're all a bunch of nobodies.
20:09I can buy this precinct!
20:10Howard Weisberg,
20:14president of the network.
20:15He just found out
20:16about the search warrant
20:17for Mickey Reed.
20:18He also found out
20:19that we think Bobby Mann
20:20was murdered.
20:20How?
20:21Breaking news.
20:22On a different network,
20:23the guy got scooped
20:25on his own star's murder.
20:26So much for keeping the press out.
20:28You two better be right
20:28about all this.
20:33Text giggling?
20:34Really?
20:36It's Alexis.
20:37She just saw a loon feeding.
20:39Funny, so did I.
20:40Hey, so Mann's Bugatti
20:42is still in the garage.
20:44They won't let us touch it
20:44without a search warrant.
20:46Two million dollar car.
20:47Apparently it's worth more
20:48than their insurance policy.
20:49You sure they had a joyriding?
20:50All right, check with the judge.
20:52Mm-hmm.
20:52Yeah.
20:54But his car's still in the garage.
20:56Where'd he go after Mickey's place?
20:58It couldn't have been very far.
21:01Hey, Ryan,
21:02did Mickey's doorman mention
21:03what direction Mann
21:04was headed when he left?
21:06Uh, south.
21:08South.
21:08South.
21:08South on Broadway from 57th.
21:12That's the theater district.
21:13At two in the morning?
21:14There's nothing playing then.
21:15Well, there's diners,
21:16there's clubs,
21:16there's restaurants.
21:17Well, other than the poison
21:18and the gum,
21:18we know he didn't eat
21:19or drink anything.
21:24Maybe Tori is a place
21:26he went.
21:27Uh, conservatory,
21:28inventory, purgatory.
21:30Factory.
21:31The comic factory.
21:32Mann was a comedian.
21:33He went to a comedy club.
21:34Comic factory is on, uh,
21:3555th and Broadway.
21:36That's two blocks south.
21:37He put his gum
21:38in a piece of paper
21:38from a comic factory flyer.
21:40You're right.
21:40And then from the forensics,
21:41we know he didn't have
21:42the cranberry or the balsamic
21:43before he spit it out.
21:44So he was poisoned
21:46either at or after the club.
21:49Then Mickey Reed
21:50didn't kill Bobby.
21:51He's not our guy.
21:53Hey, guys,
21:54how do you feel about
21:55going to see a little comedy?
21:56The guy's got the most
21:58recognizable face in common.
22:00Yeah, I know.
22:01Look, I got a call
22:02on the club phone.
22:03Caller ID's from Bobby's show.
22:05Guy asked about
22:05one of my comedians.
22:06Couple hours later,
22:07guy shows up
22:08to see that comedian.
22:09But he's got a funny
22:10looking mustache
22:11and he's wearing
22:11a baseball cap.
22:13He looked like Bobby.
22:14Did he talk to anyone?
22:15Did he have a drink?
22:16No.
22:16He sat in the back,
22:18left his drink ticket,
22:19and bolted out the side
22:20after watching the comedian
22:21he came to see.
22:22Anything special
22:23about this particular comedian?
22:24Angel Santana?
22:26The proverbial rising star?
22:29I'm assuming you know
22:30about the incident that night.
22:32What incident?
22:34I'm Angel Santana.
22:35Good night, y'all.
22:40Miss Santana,
22:41I'm Detective Esposito.
22:43This is Detective Ryan.
22:44Oh, hey, thanks for coming.
22:45The officer I talked to
22:46did not instill
22:47a lot of confidence.
22:48You want to tell us about it?
22:49Not much to tell.
22:50During my set that night,
22:51someone smashed
22:52my bike's taillight,
22:53banged up the fenders,
22:54and scratched late-night
22:55bitch into the tank.
22:56I mean,
22:57what does that even mean?
22:58I actually would not
22:58hear about your bike.
23:00Miss Santana,
23:00did you know Bobby Man?
23:02You mean personally?
23:03No.
23:04Why?
23:05Well, because he came
23:06to see your act
23:06on the night he was killed.
23:08Any idea why?
23:09Well,
23:10he probably trashed my bike.
23:11I've heard stories about him.
23:13I know guys he's blackballed
23:14just because they did
23:15his competitor's show.
23:16Is there any reason
23:17why he might have wanted
23:17to come after you?
23:18His producer tried to book me
23:20on his show last month,
23:21but Mickey Reed wanted me, too.
23:23I had to pick.
23:24Mickey felt more like my vibe.
23:27Club owner said Bobby
23:28left at 2.30
23:29and the bartender confirms
23:30he didn't drink anything.
23:31Which leaves us
23:32two hours left
23:34to account for
23:35and a whole lot
23:36of strange behavior.
23:38Why would Bobby
23:39go see a comedian
23:40who didn't want to do
23:40his show
23:41and then bust up her bike?
23:42Aren't famous people
23:43crazy and narcissistic?
23:45I don't know.
23:45Gotta ask Castle.
23:46Where is Castle, anyway?
23:54Gotta need some new shirts.
23:55No, sir.
23:59Good morning.
24:04It's okay, Castle.
24:05You don't have to pretend
24:06to not be in a good mood
24:07for my sake.
24:09Why should I be in a good mood?
24:11I mean,
24:12I'm a writer.
24:13He famously brewed.
24:15I should brood more.
24:18You want to brood?
24:21Forensics on
24:21Angel Santana's motorcycle
24:23are a bust.
24:25There's no fingerprints, nothing.
24:26We have no idea
24:27where man was after 2.30.
24:30What about his car?
24:31Brian and Esposito
24:32got a warrant this morning,
24:33but seeing that
24:34he was poisoned
24:35after he parked it,
24:36chances are
24:36we won't find anything.
24:38And his financials
24:39were clear.
24:40He pays more in alimony
24:41in a day
24:42than I make
24:42in an entire year.
24:44There's no red flags
24:44on his phone records,
24:45and I re-interviewed
24:46all of his colleagues.
24:47No one has any idea
24:48why he was acting
24:49so paranoid.
24:50You're not paranoid
24:51if someone's actually
24:52trying to kill you.
24:54Hey, Tony!
24:56How's my favorite movie mogul?
24:58Yes, right?
25:00She'd be perfect for Nikki.
25:02Yes.
25:03Perfect.
25:05That's a heat wave producer.
25:10That wasn't about
25:12Ellie Monroe, was it?
25:13Yeah, why?
25:14Oh.
25:16What?
25:17That's why she was
25:18throwing herself at you.
25:19She wanted you
25:20to recommend her
25:21for the part.
25:22What?
25:23For the record,
25:24she's nothing like Nikki Heat.
25:25Oh, you just can't stand it
25:27that a beautiful actress
25:28is actually interested in me.
25:29Why would I care?
25:30Exactly.
25:31That's a good question.
25:32Why would you care?
25:33I don't.
25:34Fine.
25:34I'm gonna go get some coffee.
25:35Fine.
25:36I've got work to do.
25:40Great room's that way.
25:41Desk.
25:42Becky.
25:43Castle.
25:44Check this out.
25:45We just finished
25:46the sweep of Bobby's car.
25:48First off,
25:48the Bugatti.
25:49Holy shift.
25:50When you start this thing,
25:51you can feel it, right?
25:52But as exciting
25:53as the car is,
25:54I think we figured out
25:55why Bobby Mann
25:56was so tweaked.
25:57Found this
25:57in his glove compartment.
26:00That's Kayla.
26:01She's an intern
26:02at Bobby's show.
26:03Looks like she was
26:04doing more than interning.
26:05Should check out the back.
26:07If they find out,
26:08you're dead.
26:09Blackmail,
26:10death threats,
26:10and scandal.
26:11That explains why
26:12his behavior was so erratic.
26:13And probably why
26:14he was killed.
26:23It was last week.
26:24I stayed late
26:25to help Bobby
26:26with some bits.
26:27Do you have any idea
26:27who took that, Kayla?
26:29It must be someone
26:30who works on the show.
26:31Who just happened
26:32to have a camera
26:33and managed to catch
26:34the two of you in the act?
26:35Or were they tipped off, maybe?
26:38Were you blackmailing Bobby?
26:40Oh my God, no!
26:41He's three times your age
26:43and you are an intern
26:44on the show.
26:45That adds up to
26:45embarrassment and scandal,
26:47which I'm sure
26:48he'd pay a lot to avoid.
26:49No, I would never do that.
26:52We were in love.
26:54In love, really?
26:55And how long
26:57were the two of you together?
26:58Three weeks
26:59this past Monday.
27:02Um, who else knew?
27:04No, no one.
27:06Bobby and I kept it a secret.
27:09We didn't want my mom
27:10to find out.
27:12Your mom?
27:13Who's your mom?
27:14He was banging my daughter
27:15right under my nose.
27:16I will kill him.
27:18He's already dead.
27:18Well, I will kill him again.
27:20I don't care.
27:21Where's the corpse?
27:21Miss Marks, we just...
27:22Kayla!
27:23My office!
27:24Now!
27:24Move it!
27:26Mom, you don't...
27:27Move it!
27:27You realize if this gets out,
27:29it'll destroy Bobby's reputation.
27:31We're not trying to add
27:32to an already difficult situation.
27:33We're just trying
27:34to find the killer.
27:35Bobby wasn't an angel,
27:36but you look at the man
27:37in his entirety.
27:38He deserves to be
27:39remembered with grace.
27:40This business gets clouded
27:41by money, fame, ambition.
27:44The only thing that Bobby
27:45really cared about
27:46was making people laugh.
27:48Well, whoever took this
27:49either works for this show
27:51or had access to this building.
27:52And maybe it was someone
27:53in a financial jam
27:54who was looking to score
27:55a quick buck,
27:56or maybe it's someone
27:57with a grudge against Bobby.
27:58I can't imagine anyone
28:00doing that.
28:00He was a great boss.
28:01Everyone loved him.
28:02Yeah, and apparently
28:03he loved them back.
28:06Okay.
28:07Uh, Janine can get you
28:08a list of everyone
28:09on the crew
28:09once she's done
28:10yelling at Kayla.
28:11Poor kid.
28:12Who knows?
28:12She might have ended up
28:13being number seven.
28:17Beckett.
28:19What have we got?
28:21Well, once we suspected
28:22blackmail,
28:23I ran through his financials again.
28:25I thought they were clean.
28:26Well, they were,
28:27going back,
28:27we found this.
28:31He spent a hundred grand
28:32on a kitchen run-o.
28:34Totally legitimate,
28:35but we searched
28:35his brownstone.
28:36And he wasn't
28:37renovating his kitchen.
28:38So who was on the receiving
28:39end of the hundred grand?
28:41Zach Robinson.
28:43Ooh, good bad guy name.
28:46Snakey Z, hard K,
28:47even has Rob in.
28:49Good bad guy rap sheet, too.
28:50Former low-life
28:51private investigator.
28:52I remember this guy.
28:53He had some celebrity clients
28:55back in the day.
28:56He was known for digging
28:56up dirt on folks
28:57and turning it
28:58into a personal payday.
28:59He did a nickel
29:00on multiple counts
29:01of extortion,
29:02wiretapping,
29:03racketeering,
29:03and blackmail.
29:05Well, Robinson must have
29:05gotten the picture
29:06from somebody on the inside.
29:07Sure, he figured
29:08it was worth a fast buck.
29:10But if Bobby paid,
29:11why would he kill him?
29:11Bobby figured out
29:12that Robinson was
29:13a blackmailer
29:14and then he threatened
29:14to take him to the cops?
29:15Bobby pushes,
29:16Robinson pushes back harder.
29:17Let's go pick him up.
29:18Easier said than done.
29:20Esposito already ran down
29:21his last known address.
29:22Robinson's in the wind.
29:23Well, let's keep looking.
29:26You are a bad man,
29:28Zach Robinson.
29:30A dirty, naughty,
29:32no-good blackmailer.
29:34Do you do all your
29:35interrogations in bed,
29:36Detective Heat?
29:37You think this is
29:38funny, Robinson?
29:39Hmm?
29:39Okay, okay.
29:40I'll do whatever you want,
29:41Nikki.
29:41Okay, that's why
29:44I like it.
29:48You are so sweet.
29:57And brilliant.
29:59Guilty.
30:01What are you thinking?
30:04Nothing.
30:06It's ridiculous.
30:07What?
30:07Come on, tell me.
30:08I want to know
30:08what goes on inside
30:09that incredible mind
30:10of yours.
30:12Well, since you put it
30:13that way,
30:14I have this friend
30:18at work who thinks
30:19that the only reason
30:20you're with me is,
30:21you know,
30:22for the part in the movie.
30:26Wow.
30:29Really?
30:32What is this friend
30:33of yours based out on?
30:35You know what?
30:36I'm sorry.
30:37I shouldn't have
30:37repeated that.
30:38Does this friend know me?
30:39No.
30:40Has he read anything
30:41about me that would
30:42make him think
30:42that I would
30:43prostitute myself
30:44for a role?
30:45No, of course not.
30:47You know, I...
30:48He's an idiot.
30:49Do you have any idea
30:50how hard it is
30:51to be a woman
30:52in Hollywood?
30:57Ellie.
30:58Ellie.
31:06Beckett.
31:09Oh, yeah.
31:17He looks like a Zach Robinson.
31:20Where'd you find him?
31:21The boys caught up with him
31:23at a craps table
31:24at Mohegan Sun.
31:25Already gambling away
31:26his hard-earned blackmail money?
31:28So how was your date
31:29with your little starlet?
31:30How could you tell this time?
31:31Like I said, Castle.
31:33Trained detective.
31:35Well, it went lovely.
31:38No thanks to you.
31:40What did I have to do with it?
31:41Filled you a Jedi mind trick on me.
31:43Made me doubt Ellie's honesty.
31:44Foolishly, I told her
31:45what you said.
31:46Made her cry.
31:48Castle.
31:49She's an actress.
31:50A professional liar.
31:53She's paid to cry on cue.
31:59No.
32:00No.
32:01I've never seen
32:02this picture before.
32:03Really?
32:04You sure you didn't use it
32:06to blackmail Bobby Mann?
32:07Blackmail.
32:09Fishing in the wrong pond, detective.
32:11What about the hundred grand
32:13from Bobby Mann
32:14in your bank account?
32:15Am I in the right pond now?
32:18That was for
32:20services rendered.
32:22I don't think Webster's
32:23defines blackmailing
32:24as a service.
32:26More like a coercive threat,
32:28Mr. Robb and some.
32:29No, no.
32:30No, no.
32:31I never threatened Bobby.
32:32He hired me.
32:34To do what?
32:39My guys say
32:40that you don't have
32:41an alibi for the night
32:42that man was murdered.
32:44You can't be serious.
32:45I guess it'll come out
32:46when we go to the murder trial.
32:48Have a nice life.
32:50Sentence?
32:50What?
32:51No, no.
32:51No, no.
32:52No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:53Look, hey.
32:53He reached out to me.
32:55Said he needed some work done.
32:57What kind of work?
32:58The kind that you get
33:00paid a lot extra to do.
33:02Something illegal.
33:04Well.
33:07Okay, look.
33:07He thought that somebody
33:08was out to get him.
33:09He said he needed to know,
33:10and so he paid me
33:12to bug a guy's office.
33:14Who?
33:16Howard Weisberg.
33:17The president of the network?
33:18Easy gig, too.
33:20Bobby got me into the building.
33:22When was this?
33:23A week ago.
33:24What did you do
33:25with the recordings?
33:25I delivered the CDs to Bobby.
33:27When?
33:30You know,
33:31the morning before he died.
33:34Bobby's producer
33:35said he locked himself
33:36in his office that morning.
33:38He was listening to the recording.
33:39And then they said
33:40he started acting paranoid
33:41after that.
33:41So what did he hear?
33:44Am I good to go?
33:52I found the recordings
33:53in Mann's office
33:53mixed in with his DVD collection.
33:55Heard anything yet
33:56that would explain
33:56why Mann was listening in
33:57on his boss?
33:58No, just a bunch of talk
33:59about setting up breakfasts,
34:00lunches, dinners,
34:01and drinks
34:02with writers, actors,
34:03and directors.
34:03Where are we in the blackmail?
34:04Oh, we got uniforms
34:05running down all show employees
34:06who could have had access
34:07to the studio
34:08to take that photo.
34:08Yo.
34:10You guys are gonna
34:10want to hear this.
34:12You know what the hell
34:13with Bobby, man?
34:14We're losing money on him
34:15every damn night.
34:16I want him out.
34:17Our hands are tied.
34:18You can't fire him.
34:19He's got five years
34:20left on his contract.
34:21What if he drops dead?
34:22Huh?
34:23Seriously,
34:23the guy's got a bad heart?
34:24How hard would it be
34:26to make him go away?
34:27I mean, hell,
34:27I got Mickey Reed
34:28telling me every day
34:29he's ready to step in
34:30if we could just get
34:31Bobby Mann
34:32out the damn door.
34:34Well, no wonder
34:35Bobby thought
34:35Mickey was disloyal.
34:36And no wonder
34:37he thought someone
34:37wanted him dead.
34:38Someone did.
34:41What if he drops dead?
34:42Huh?
34:43Seriously,
34:43the guy's got a bad heart?
34:45How hard would it be
34:46to make him go away?
34:48Looks like you got
34:48your wish, Mr. Weisberg.
34:50Detective,
34:51none of the recordings
34:51are admissible in court.
34:52Now relax,
34:53and I didn't kill anyone,
34:54okay?
34:55Save it for when
34:55I actually do.
34:56Detective,
34:57I wasn't serious.
34:58Bobby thought you were.
34:59Well, then maybe
35:00you shouldn't have
35:00been bugging my office.
35:02Hell, in private,
35:02I issue a dozen
35:03death sentences a day
35:04on underperforming,
35:05overpaid jackasses
35:07at my network.
35:08Now, what I wanted
35:08was Mickey Reed
35:09pulled to 1130,
35:11but Bobby had
35:11an $80 million penalty
35:12on his contract.
35:13Which still had
35:14another five years
35:15left on it.
35:16Yeah.
35:17Now, what I did
35:18was lean on Bobby
35:19for a few months
35:20to appeal
35:20to a younger audience,
35:21but the worst thing
35:22that I did
35:23was threaten
35:24to fire him
35:24and pay him
35:25the 80 mil.
35:25Mr. Weisberg,
35:26where were you
35:27between 1.30
35:28and 4.30 a.m.
35:30the night of the murder?
35:31You don't have
35:31to answer that.
35:32It's fine.
35:32Bert, chill out.
35:34Was it the Essex House Hotel?
35:35Were you with anyone?
35:36As a matter of fact,
35:37I was.
35:38This actress I was screwing
35:40wanted a part
35:40on one of my sitcoms.
35:42I met her
35:42after Bobby's show.
35:43I'm going to need a name.
35:46Sure.
35:47Ellie Monroe.
36:00Thank you for coming
36:01by, Miss Monroe.
36:02Of course.
36:03Weisberg's alibi
36:13is good.
36:16Well, go on.
36:17You can say it.
36:18I told you so.
36:20No, thanks.
36:20I'm actually not
36:21in the gloating mood.
36:22His alibi
36:23sets us back
36:24to square one,
36:25which means
36:26we have no idea
36:27who the blackmailer is
36:28and we don't know
36:29why man went
36:30to the comedy club
36:31and trashed Angel Santana's bike
36:32and we have no idea
36:34who the killer is.
36:35Well, the good news is
36:36that can work all night.
36:38No plans.
36:40You know, it's late
36:41and I'm kind of tired.
36:43How about we pick this up
36:44in the morning?
36:45Alrighty then.
36:46And the boys
36:47will be back
36:48on duty tomorrow
36:48going to a phrase
36:49which would be inaccurate
36:53because you are not a boy.
36:58Is this some kind
36:59of a weird come on?
37:00I think I know
37:01what Bobby Mann
37:01was doing
37:02at that comedy club.
37:02I think I know
37:03why he thought
37:04he was an awful person
37:04and I think
37:06I know who killed him.
37:08Mr. McPhee?
37:10Oh, I was just
37:12going over my notes
37:13for the tribute.
37:1535 years of friendship.
37:17It's kind of hard
37:18to find just
37:18the right story to tell.
37:20What can I do for you?
37:22I just came by
37:22to give you this,
37:23Bobby's idea book.
37:24We thought you might like it.
37:26Thanks.
37:26We did have a question
37:27about what he wrote
37:28on the last page.
37:29The boys will be back
37:32on duty tomorrow night.
37:33Actually, he crossed out
37:34boys and wrote
37:35gang, posse, and crew.
37:38Any idea why?
37:41I guess we'll never know.
37:43I wouldn't be too sure
37:43about that.
37:44The network was pressuring
37:45Bobby to make a change.
37:47They threatened
37:47to cancel him
37:48unless he did.
37:49And the night
37:49that he was murdered,
37:50he told Barbara
37:50that something awful
37:51was going on.
37:54He asked her
37:54if he was a good person.
37:55Why would he say that?
37:56Because of Kayla.
38:01Not Kayla, Hank.
38:02Because of you.
38:04He knew that
38:04he had to fire you.
38:05He knew he needed
38:06to find someone younger
38:07and hipper
38:08if he was going to survive.
38:09Someone like Angel Santana.
38:11Weisberg confirmed
38:12that she was
38:13on the network's short list.
38:14That's why it wasn't
38:14boys anymore, Hank.
38:16Because Angel's a girl.
38:18This is ridiculous.
38:19Bobby would never fire me.
38:21And why did you kill him?
38:22I didn't.
38:23We ran your credit cards, Hank.
38:25The night that he was murdered,
38:27you went to a 24-hour
38:28grocery store
38:29and bought two things,
38:30cranberry juice
38:30and balsamic vinegar.
38:32It's time stamped,
38:331.56 a.m.
38:35And I'm betting
38:35if we test your keys,
38:36we'll find metal
38:37from Angel Santana's
38:38motorcycle
38:38where you scratched in
38:39late-night bitch.
38:41He told me
38:49that night
38:50just before he left
38:51the studio.
38:55Oh, we'd heard Weisberg
38:56say they were going
38:57to bury him
38:58unless he made a change.
39:0135 years I had his back,
39:03he was going to toss me aside
39:04like one of his ex-wives,
39:06humiliate me
39:06in front of the whole country.
39:08I knew it was coming.
39:10I saw all the little signs,
39:12the awkward moments
39:13in the hall.
39:14I sent him that picture
39:16of him and Kayla
39:17to remind him
39:17of all the secrets I kept.
39:20You know what he said?
39:21The scandal would only
39:23help his ratings.
39:24You bought your poison
39:25and you followed him
39:27to the club.
39:28I confronted him
39:29when he came out.
39:31I told him not to throw away
39:32everything we'd built.
39:33He told me he couldn't save me.
39:35Weisberg was going younger
39:36with or without him.
39:38Well, if you knew
39:38he didn't have a choice,
39:40why did you kill him?
39:41Because he did have
39:42another choice.
39:43Go down with the ship.
39:45We both go out gracefully
39:47and Bobby gets 80 million bucks
39:50instead of him continuing
39:51the show with some kid.
39:55I gave him over 4,000 shows
39:58laughing at every lousy joke
40:00he cracked,
40:01whether they were funny
40:02or not.
40:02Jesus.
40:03So how did you manage it?
40:08When I knew I couldn't
40:12change his mind
40:13I told him
40:14I understood.
40:16We walked over
40:17to the West Side Highway
40:18sat on a bench
40:21looked out at the water
40:22talked about
40:24what a great run we'd had.
40:25and I offered him
40:29a drink.
40:31He was my best friend.
40:34You don't do that
40:35to your friend.
40:40Yet another example
40:42of why you shouldn't
40:43mix business
40:43with pleasure.
40:45Even show business.
40:46Are you talking about
40:47the case or yourself?
40:48Yeah, touche detective.
40:52So you want to go
40:53for a victory lap
40:54and grab a burger?
40:55Oh, can't.
40:56Gotta go.
40:56Big date.
40:57You're kidding, right?
40:58You're going out
40:59with Ellie Monroe
40:59even though you know
41:00the only reason
41:01that she was interested
41:02in you was for a part?
41:03Have you lost all sense
41:05of human decency
41:07and self-resp...
41:08What?
41:10My big date
41:11is with Alexis.
41:13She's getting back
41:14from her trip.
41:17Oh.
41:18Right on time, Alexis.
41:39Oh, Sacagawea
41:40has returned.
41:43And you are not
41:44Sacagawea, but
41:45come in.
41:47Thanks.
41:48I'm headed back
41:51to L.A.
41:51and I just wanted
41:52to say sorry.
41:56Thanks.
41:57But the truth is
41:58I've never had
41:59so much fun being used.
42:00You feel free
42:01to have at me anytime.
42:02Well, I guess
42:03you'll resend
42:04your recommendation
42:04of me to your producers
42:05and that it's
42:06the least I deserve.
42:07No.
42:07Tony thinks you are
42:08great for it
42:08and so do I.
42:09You are a better actress
42:11than I thought
42:11when I recommended you.
42:13Well, you should know
42:13I wasn't acting
42:14the whole time.
42:15Me neither.
42:16Thanks, Rick.
42:20Take care.
42:22You too.
42:23Bye.
42:25Hi.
42:26Dad, was that...
42:27My Sacagawea
42:28has returned.
42:29Oh, my God.
42:29My face is cold.
42:30I missed you so much.
42:31Oh, my God.
42:32I'm so glad you're home.
42:33I missed you too, Dad.
42:36You're not just saying that,
42:37right?
42:38That's right.
42:38Oh, don't you.
42:39Tell me you're hungry.
42:40I'm sorry.
42:41I'm sorry.
