All language subtitles for Castle (2009) S05E14 Reality Star Struck.en

They were on top
of the world

Until the financial crisis
struck and they flamed out.

That's when their wives
got busy taking over.

"The wives of wall street"--

Penelope, the fashion mogul...

You look amazing
in my dress.

Margo, the cosmetics queen...

If you weren't my son,
i'd fire your ass.

Colette, home decor diva...

Let's sell today, people.

And then of course
there's hannah.

What will she do next?

Don't let anyone stop you

From getting what you want.

No, no, no.

We need more hannah.

She's the reason
our numbers are spiking.

We all like this
at the network, peter.

Maybe that works for your
brain-Numbing finance shows.

But this is reality tv.

We need to hype
the conflict.

We need the unexpected.

Uh, sorry to interrupt
mr. Monroe.

The police are calling for you.

There's been a murder.

Okay. Okay.
Heart-Shaped cuff links?

Could you
stop guessing?

Okay, a pony?
It's a rocket.

It's a limited-Edition
"star wars" lightsaber

Signed by george lucas.

Yes, because nothing says
"happy valentine's day"

Like a "star wars" toy.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Please tell me that you
didn't get me a lightsaber

For our first valentine's day
together.

Please give me some credit.

You are gonna love
what i got you.

And you're gonna love
what i got you.

What about you, espo?

Any plans for
valentine's day tomorrow?

Uh, yeah.

Investigating a murder.

I see.

Victim is hannah green, 23.

She's one of the stars
of the show

"The wives of wall street."

Her brother's on his way
into the precinct from jersey.

"Wives of wall street,"
the reality show?

Yeah. Seen it?

Just long enough to make me
want to kill myself.

One minute of lunatics
backstabbing each other

Is enough.

Speaking of backstabbing...

She almost looks like
she's asleep.

The bus driver
who came through last night

At 11:15 thought she was.

It wasn't until this morning
anyone realized she was dead.

Based on liver temp,

The earliest she could've died
is 10:00, 10:30.

Okay, so she was killed
in that hour.

Looks that way.

There's no purse
or cell on the body

But if she was mugged,
the doer missed

That diamond tennis bracelet
on her right wrist.

And if it was a mugger,

He has exquisite taste
in cutlery.

That's a takahara v.G.
Chef knife.

That's pretty high-End
for a murder weapon.

Well,
whoever attacked her,

It looks she fought back.

She has defensive wounds,
abrasions on her wrists,

And some
possible genetic material

Underneath her fingernails.

I'll run d.N.A. Once i
get back to the morgue.

She live in the area?

No, downtown.
Thompson hotel.

So what was she doing
up here?

Said they weren't filming
in this area.

Hey.

Sorry i'm... late.

Yeah. Jenny again?

Yeah.

Her temperature
spiked this morning,

And suddenly it's showtime.

She's got this baby making
down to a science.

Sounds romantic.

I feel like a rooster
in a henhouse.

Except for,
there's only one hen--

A very bossy hen.

Okay, espo,
you and the rooster

Start a canvass,

See if he can give us
any background on hannah's life.

Look, i am not this person.

Things just happen,
and they...

They end up defining you,
but it's...

It's not always fair.

That's it.

That's the last image
we shot of hannah.

Poor girl.

Such a loss.

She was ratings gold.

You're gonna have to find
who did this.

Yeah, not to mention
her family, the d.A...

Mr. Monroe,
when was this shot?

Uh...

Day before yesterday,
around 8:00 p.M. Why?

Because she's wearing
the same clothes

That we found her in.

That's a full day later.

Do you know where she went
after filming

Or why she would've been
on the upper west side?

Well, to be honest,
when the cameras go away,

So i don't even know
what she did on her free time.

In the video, she seems upset.
Any idea what about?

Oh, you gotta understand,

We brought hannah in
to be penelope's assistant.

You know, to mix things up
a little bit.

The small-Town girl
with the big-Time dreams

Of becoming
a fashion designer.

Will she make it with
the wives of wall street?

She's just milking it
for the camera.

They all do.

So it's a reality show,
just without the reality.

I like to think of it
as heightened reality.

Reality-Ish.

Did she have problems
with anyone on the show?

Well, you put a bunch of
tough-Minded women together,

You're gonna get
a spat or two.

But hannah
was part of the family.

Okay, well, i'm gonna need
all of her tapes

Just in case
there's something relevant.

Although, you might want
to check out her own family.

I know that she had trouble
with her brother--Charlie green.

Hannah always wanted
to make it big in the city,

And when she came here,
she, uh,

She lost her way.

I should've done more.

I was her brother.
I should've protected her.

Mr. Green,

When was the last time
you talked to hannah?

Uh, a few days ago.

I called her. We fought.

About what?

The usual.

About how she was putting
her life out there

For the world to see,

What it was doing
to the family.

She...

She said
i didn't understand,

That there was more
going on than i knew.

But to me, it was simple--
She needed to come home.

So... you didn't approve
of her

Being on
"the wives of wall street"?

Approve?

No,
it was killing us...

To see the choices she made,
the way she was living her life,

All of it out there
on national television.

And that was before
she started having the affair.

Affair?

You screw my husband,
you think you're welcome here?

He chose me, penelope.

Deal with it.

I am coming for yo.

So our victim was sleeping
with the husband

Of one of the other women
in the show?

Not just sleeping with.

Hannah and bob
moved in together

After penelope
found out about them.

And yet the show's producer
said nothing about it.

I'd say he was covering
his own asset.

This affair was broadcast
on national television.

Did he really think that we
weren't gonna find out about it?

Oh, my goodness.

It was penelope,
wasn't it?

Well, after what hannah
did to her marriage,

I wouldn't blame her.

Okay,

See, penelope
kept her family afloat

After bob lost his job,

And then she gives hannah
this--This big break,

And then hannah repays her

By screwing her
worthless excuse of a husband.

You're a fan
of "wives of wall street"?

Oh, yeah.
It's the best show on tv. Why?

I don't--I just assumed
that a woman like you

Would prefer
more... sophisticated fare.

Excuse me?

W-What did you just say?

Hey, lanie. What's up?

I'm sending you a picture
of a fingernail fragment

I pulled
from the victim's scalp.

I figured it came from
the killer during the attack.

Can you run d.N.A.?

It's already happening.

Great. Thank you.

'Sito, is it just me or...

Is that a perfect match?

Okay, wait a minute.

You're reading
too much into this.

Can you at least wait
until we're done filming?

I am not having--
-What a classy thing to say.

Oh, my--
You don't know how i meant it.

Like she did it on purpose?
I'm not saying that.

Well, we're not canceling
the wedding.

Look, i'm just saying that
this sucks, okay?

Hannah dying a month before
our wedding...
hush, darling.

Ashley's right. Maybe we should,
like, postpone it or something.

Postpone?

For that bitch?

Penelope!

Look, it's not like
i killed her.

Excuse me, ms. Foster.

Detective beckett, nypd.

How do you do?

I'm fine.

Uh, but you...

For the murder
of hannah green.

So i guess it is
like you killed her.

Are you still
rolling? Did you get that?

How dare you arrest me
in front of the cast and crew.

You should be more worried
about this, penelope.

That's a lab report

For a fingernail fragment
found in hannah's hair.

It's a d.N.A. Match to you.

You want to tell me
how it got there?

Because if you won't,

I'm sure
your husband bob will.

Bob? Come on.

What do you think
he's gonna tell you?

That poor bastard
is so stupid

He thought hannah
actually had feelings for him.

And everybody knew
all she wanted to do

Was up her profile
on the show.

She was just using him.

It was true love.

Hannah and i were in love.

Well, we know your wife penelope
and hannah had a fight.

Had things been escalating
between them lately?

Hannah and i never talked
about penelope.

But you lived
with hannah.

Do you know where she was
last night?

No.

She didn't come home
last night

And i didn't see her
all day yesterday.

Was that unusual?

Yeah, i was worried.

But do you really think
penelope coulda killed her?

Hell, yeah,
i wanted to kill her.

But with all of america
watching?

How stupid
do you think i am?

What about the fingernail?

The truth is...

Hannah and i did have
a little dustup.

But not the night
that she was killed.

It was the night before.

Okay, so what was the nature
of this dustup?

We were filming confessionals.

Hannah waited for me
outside the studio,

Said she wanted to talk.

About what?
Margo.

Margo hired hannah
after i fired her ass.

And no surprise,

Hannah and margo
were having trouble at work.

And crazy as it sounds,

That bitch wanted me
to rehire her.

Do you actually expect me
to believe

That she asked you
for her job back

After she ruined
your marriage?

Why do you think
i lost it?

I yanked her hair
and broke my nail.

But that was it.

She broke free, took off,

And that was the last
i saw of hannah.

And i suppose
you won't mind me asking

Where you were between 10:15
and 11:15 last night?

Okay, so the kickboxing teacher
at noho gym

Confirms that penelope was
"sweating her ass off"

Downtown in a class
from 10:00 till 11:00.

So whoever killed hannah,

It wasn'penelope foster.

Okay, then. Where are we
on the murder weapon?

You know what?
There's no fingerprints.

But they did find
antimony oxide

On the knife's handle.

A fire retardant
if memory serves.

It looks like the knife
was new or had never been used.

Hey, guys.
Check this out.

A fan took this and posted it

To a "wives of wall street"
fan site

The night of the murder.

That's hannah.

Yeah,
and it was time stamped.

This is 20 minutes
before she was killed.

So that building must have
something to do with the murder.

Uh, any idea where it is?

But you can see part of
the building's number

Ends in 46.

And i can tell you
who lives here.

I know this building.

It's from the show.

This is margo's place,
somewhere on the upper west.

South of 83rd.

Wait. That means

Margo lives
right around the corner

From where hannah was killed.

My mom's just wrapping up
a call,

But she'll be right out,
as soon as s--

I will talk to you later.
Here i am.

Thank you, sweetheart.

How can i help you?

Uh, we just needed
to go over

The last 24 hours
of hannah's life.

And we were wondering,

When was it
that you last saw her?

She came by
around 10:00 last night

For a few minutes. Why?

Because she was killed
around the corner from here

Just after leaving.

That's terrible.

Yes, yes, it is.

Um, would you mind telling us
why she came by?

To apologize.

For what?

After penelope fired hannah
for the affair,

I hired her to develop
a clothing line

With my son stone.

I heard she had talent and...

It wouldn't hurt to get
some screen time.

Bob and hannah's affair
has been

The big story arc
these past few months.

Three days ago,
she was supposed to come by

And present her ideas.

The "wives of wall street"
cameras

Were here
and ready to roll,

And hannah's a no-Show.

Did she say why?

If it was anyone else,
i would fire her.

But it didn't hurt that you got
a little more screen time.

I know that's crass,

But that's how this works.

When she came that night,

Hannah only said
she was worry

And promised to recommit
to her job.

Did she tell you where
she was going afterwards?

No. I-I assumed that...

She was going home.

And what did you do
when she left?

I jumped on a conference call
with my entertainment attorney

To discuss
stone and ashley's spin-Off.

So phone records confirm
that margo made

A 56-Minute phone call
to her entertainment lawyer

At 10:23 from her landline
at the apartment.

You know, the truth is
anyone who subscribes

To the "wives of wall street"
web site

Would've know that hannah
was at margo's building

From that photo.

They send out text alerts
any time there's a new post.

And they have hundreds
of thousands of subscribers.

Hey. I got
a little mystery here.

You mean besides
your valentine's day plans?

Shh.

Hannah's financials.

For the past two months,
she's been making

Weekly cash deposits
of 5 grand.

Now i checked with her family,
everyone on the show.

No one knows
where it's coming from.

I take it she didn't make it
selling girl scout cookies.

Well, maybe it has something
to do with where she was

When she missed
the pitch meeting with margo

On her fashion line.

Credit card charge puts her
at a dive bar in brooklyn

Called the last stop.

A dive bar?
What was she doing there

Instead of at the most important
meeting of her life?

I don't know. The bartender
said she was having

So i got the bartender sitting
down with a sketch artist.

See if we can figure out
who he is.

Hey.

Uh, sorry.

I had to run home
and, uh...

Cock-A-Doodle-Doo?

That's good.

Uh, yeah.

The least romantic
valentine's day ever.

Oh, thank you.
Yeah.

So i had tech

Look into hannah's
last 24 hours,

After her fight
with penelope

And before showing up
at margo's.

And did they find
anything useful?

They didn't find
anything at all.

She didn't make any calls,

Didn't answer any calls,
sent no texts.

She didn't even log on
to her e-Mail

Or any other online accounts.

No digital fingerprint
whatsoever.

Well, it's like
she disappeared.

Why would she go radio silent
for 24 hours?

And where the hell
was she?

I'll tell you
where she was--

Madagascar.

As in the country

Off the southeastern coast
of africa,

Made famous by
the adorable animated film?

Yep. The material i found
underneath her fingernails--

Not skin from an attacker.

It's alluaudia.

And what is alluaudia?

A rare spiny plant

Cultivated primarily
in madagascar.

So how did it get
under her fingernails?

Beats me.

They were not sustained
at the time of murder.

They're from 24 hours prior.

That's about the time
that she went off the grid,

Which means there's gotta be
a connection.

Oh, i think there is.

Remember this abrasion?

Yeah.

Well, i figured out
what caused it.

Her diamond tennis bracelet.

But wasn't that...

On her right wrist?

Good memory.

So her wrists
were tied together.

Tight and for several hours.

Now it's making sense--

Wearing the same clothes
overnight...

The radio silence...

And the defensive wounds
24 hours prior to death.

Hannah was held hostage.

Then why didn't she
report it?

And how did she get magically
transported to madagascar?

And why would she go
afterwards to margo's

To apologize
for missing work?

It has to have something to do
with those $5,000 payments

And that meeting
with that mystery man

At the bar in brooklyn.

It all seems so random.

I mean,
i know by the end of this,

All of these clues
will fit together beautifully

In a murderous mosaic.
Mm-Hmm.

But... how?
Mm.

Wait.

Is this
your valentine's day gift to me,

A complex mystery
where nothing makes sense?

You know me so well.

Um, i hate to interrupt your
little, uh, love connection.

But i checked traffic cameras.

I found footage of hannah

I got the medallion.
I talked to the cabbie,

Whose log showed that he picked
up hannah at 78th and lex.

Did he say
where she was coming from--

Building, store?

Standing on the corner
when she flagged him down.

Well, then she could've
come from anywhere.

There's no way we can
narrow that down, bro.

Maybe there is.

I spoke to a regulator

At the department
of agriculture.

It seems alluaudia

Is used in green
sustainable architecture

In rugs, flooring, wallpaper,

Possibly from a building
nearby.
All right.

Espo, you get uniforms
to canvass the area

Around 78th and lex

And see if there's any
green sustainable buildings

That might use that allu--
Whatever the plant is.

As you wish.

Participating in the case,
engaging in idle speculation--

We are not so different,
you and i.

There's...
there's a difference.

You know, this could actually
be our big break,

Only we may not
have gotten to it

If i hadn't recognized
margo's building in that photo,

Which is why i think
each of you should watch

Some "wives of wall street"
episodes tonight--

For the good of the case.

So...

Would you like to come over
for a little viewing party?

So you can badger me about
what i'm getting you

For valentine's day?

No, thanks.
I think i will pass.

I'm kind of competitive
when it comes to giving gifts.

Don't feel bad if yours isn't
as good as mine.

What if it's better?

Better?

Mm-Hmm.

Oh, i guess it just depends
on what you got me.

Oh, richard.
These are breathtaking.

Beckett is
going to love them, dad.

Right?

One of the perils
of dating a gift ninja.

Ooh, you want to be
a real ninja?

You just slip these
into her coat pocket

When she's not looking.
Ooh.

Mother, i like that idea.
The element of surprise.

What about you, alexis?
Any plans with max?

Uh, we're just
going to study together.

Doesn't sound very special.

Well, i think we'll mostly
just study each other's eyes.

And you, mother,
any special plans?

We're gonna do dramatic readings
of "love letters"

At my studio.

Oh, well, that's nice.

And speaking of drama,
would anyone like to join me

For a screening of
"wives of wall street,"

Popcorn included?

2-Hour lunches
are not acceptable, hannah.

We're running a business here.

I wasn't at lunch.
I was getting fabric samples.

That is no excuse
for being late.

You are not
in kansas anymore, toto...

Shoot me now.

Boy, i wish i'd had
these reality shows in my day.

No script, overacting,

Screaming at everybody--
What a gig.

Now i have written
new promo copy.

So what's going on
between you two?

Nothing.

What do you mean?

You're sleeping with her,
aren't you, bob?

No. No.

Don't lie to me.

You're screwing hannah!
Admit it.

Admit it!

Yes! All right?

I'm sorry.

He chose me, penelope.
Deal with it.

And i will
rip your throat out.

Coming up next week--
Margo's son stone,

Who's learning the family
business from mom,

And colette's daughter ashley,
budding ceramic entrepreneur,

Planning their
fairy-Tale wedding.

Coming up next--
The "shark pool"

With bad-Boy billionaire
mike chilean.

You're funded!

Oh, my god, dad.

You're still watching?

I...

I can't feel my butt.

That's exactly what i mean.

Hannah didn't stand
a chance.

I mean, she's a small-Town,
naive young woman.

She was chum to piranhas.

Yeah, but look what
she did to bob.

Okay, okay,

Do you really think
that she played him,

That penelope was right
about that?

Oh, that girl was smarter than
anybody gave her credit for.

You know what?
I think you're right.

What about you, detective?

Did you watch

"Wives of wall street"
last night?

I watched an episode.

Just one episode?

That's like eating
one potato chip.

I usually just eat
one potato chip.

So what's the status
on the canvass, detective?

Uh, uniforms are still
making their way

Through every building that
uses any trace of alluaudia

On the upper east side,

So nothing yet.

Yo. You guys
aren't gonna believe this.

The sketch of the guy
that hannah met

In brooklyn out at that
little restaurant just came in.

Was anyone at the bar
able to i.D. Him?

They didn't need to.

That's mike chilean.

And the entrepreneur host
of the financial channel's

Other hit reality tv show--
The "shark pool."

So why would hannah

Ditch her shot to pitch margo
a clothing line

To meet with chilean
at a seedy bar in brooklyn?

Meeting at that dump
was her idea.

Me, i'm more
of a le cirque guy.

But she said
she needed privacy.

For what?

We met last month
at a financial channel party.

She was...

Cute and young.

She calls me out of the blue
and asked to meet.

So it was a date?

That's what i thought,
yes.

But when i get there...

She goes all "shark pool"
on me.

Starts pitching her idea

For a vegan, organic, hipster
clothing line.

Wait. She asked you
to fund her clothing line?

Margo gower was set
to back it on the show.

Well, that was
the weird part.

I was ready to offer
her financing.

Her name recognition
from the show

Almost guarantees
a profit.

But then she says,

"What if i were to leave
the show?

She told you that she might
leave the show?
Yep.

So i said,

"Yes, sweetie, that would make
a big difference."

Without the show,
her brand isn't worth jack.

Why would hannah suddenly
want to leave the show

After everything
she ever dreamed of

Well, whatever was going on,
she clearly wanted...

To keep it under wraps.

Hey.

Uniforms just got a hit
on the canvass

From a pretzel vendor
who saw hannah

Walk into a nearby building

Right in
our abduction time frame.

Records show
it's l.E.E.D. Certified

Green construction.

Any evidence of alluaudia
in the building?

I checked.

It's in the wallpaper.

She was held hostage
someplace in that building.

Find out where.

Castle, let's go.

On my way.

Oh, you got
the wrong blazer there.

No, i don't. Let's go.

Is everything all right,
mr. Castle?

Uh...

Castle.

Come on.

Yeah, that's definitely her.

Have you ever seen her
in the building before?

Uh, no. It was just
the one time the other night.

I was doing rounds
when i saw her go into 29-J.

And who owns 29-J?

Ocean terrace holdings.
It's a corporation.

Is there a name
listed on it?

Under corporate names
for privacy, so...

Wait. Wait. Wait.
Do you hear that?

Sounds like someone
pounding on a wall.

Penelope?

And bob?!

You two are back toge--

Spoiler alert.

Bob and penelope together?

I can't believe it.

I know, right?

Neither of them is talking
about hannah.

Well, clearly they have
a lot more to hide

Than the fact that they were
sleeping together.

Well, this is a plot twist
i didn't see coming.

Hey, so i did some digging
on the apartment.

Ocean terrance holdings,
it's a shell company

Owned by bob.

The lease began just after he
and hannah started their affair.

That's odd.

When bob left penelope,

He moved into the thompson hotel
with hannah.

So why would he lease
another apartment?

I looked into
penelope's financials.

Remember those $5,000 payments
that hannah got?

They line up exactly with
withdrawals that penelope made

From her checking account.

Penelope was paying hannah?

Wh-Why would she do that?

There's no way to know
unless we get her to talk.

I'm s--I'm sorry.
Have you seen the show?

Penelope is the strong one.

If anyone's gonna talk...

It's bob.

But he's not.

And my guess is,
he's afraid of penelope.

Well, then perhaps it's time

To tear a page
from penelope's play book.

Oh, come on. You guys
aren't actually--

Couldn't hurt.

I told you,
i have nothing to--

Did i say you could talk?

Did someone give you permission
to open your sorry little mouth?

No!

So sit down, shut up,
and listen.

We know
that apartment's yours, bob.

We know that hannah
was held hostage there,

Which means...

I can nail you
for kidnapping.

What? No. I--
But you know what?
I'm not gonna stop there.

I am going to

Fry you for murder.

Wait. Me?
I-I didn't kill her.

Don't lie to me!

You locked her up.

You held her hostage.

Who does that to someone
that they love,

You lying sack of...

We weren't in love, okay?!

It was a lie.
The whole thing was a lie.

There was no relationship.

Hannah and i were never
even together.

What?!

We only did it
for the ratings.

The ratings?

Ashley and stone's engagement

Was sucking up
all the attention on the show.

Penelope's screen time
was dropping,

Which was killing
her clothing sales.

She was out of her mind.

So we came up with a plan.

Hannah was reluctant
at first,

But penelope can be
pretty persuasive.

So the $5,000 that penelope
was paying hannah,

That was to fake
a relationship?

We never intended
for it to end like this.

What happened, bob?

The other night,

After taping
her confessional,

Hannah said
she needed to talk.

Well, the three of us
couldn't be seen together,

So we met at the apartment.

She told us
she couldn't bear

Everyone thinking
she was this home wrecker.

She couldn't go on
living a lie.

Yeah, she said she was
gonna go public,

Reveal the affair
had been faked all along.

That's a pretty big bombshell.
How'd you guys take it?

How'd we take it?
We panicked.

If we let her
go through with it,

It would blow up the show.

No one would buy
penelope's clothes anymore.

Plus, we'd be
in breach of contract

And the show could sue us
for every cent we had.

Our whole lives
would be ruined.

So then you guys
tied her up.

We didn't know
what to do.

So a whole day went by.

We realized we couldn't
hold her forever s--

So we made a call.

So who'd you call?

Bob!

Who'd you call?

Peter monroe.

The "wives of wall street"
producer?

Yeah, we needed help.

It's his show. He had
as much to lose as we did.

What did you tell him?

Everything.

Then he came over and told
penelope and me to leave,

That he would handle hannah.

We thought he was just gonna
talk some sense into her,

You know,
maybe sweeten her deal.

But the next thing we knew,

Hannah was dead.

I'm so sorry, sir.
I tried to stop them.

Mr. Monroe, are you
pathologically incapable

Of telling the truth?

Well, that depends.
What's this about?

Your role in hannah's murder.

Whoa. I had nothing
to do with her murder.

Bob thinks you did.

We know about him
calling you from the apartment

About hannah
just before she died.

Okay, penelope and bob
called me.

Couple of moron idiots...

Taking her hostage
like that.

So you went over there?

Of course
i went over there.

Hell, i saved her
from those two lunatics.

I'm the good guy.

You know what i did
when i got there?

I let her go. Water?

Look, if hannah exposed that
your main storyline was faked,

Your show
would go down in flames.

The fans would be outraged.

Hell, i'm outraged.

I offered hannah more money,
her own series,

To not blow the lid
off the show.

I mean...

She was gonna ruin everything.

I begged her to stay.

I followed her out and gave her
every decent pitch i had.

But she wouldn't deal.

She got into a taxi,
and i never saw her again.

Here's a better story--

You grabbed a knife
and you followed her.

No, i didn't. I swear.

I went straight to
the player's club,

Ordered
a couple of cocktails,

And waited for my world
to start to cave in.

But nothing happened.

Next morning, i found out
that she was dead.

So the manager
at the player's club confirms

That monroe was there
from 10:00 p.M.

Till well after midnight.

He's not our guy.

Which leaves margo,

Because that's where
hannah went next, but...

After being held hostage

And demanding
to leave the show,

I doubt she went there
to recommit to the job.

Margo had to have been
lying to us.

Margo was lying, all right.

She told you she buzzed up
hannah that night, right?

Mm-Hmm.
That's impossible.

The buzzer on the building
connects through her phone.

According to the phone records,

Hannah was buzzed up
at 9:57 p.M.

Well, according to
margo's financials,

At almost exactly
the same time, 9:58 p.M.,

She was using her credit card

At lorenzo's deli
ten blocks away.

Thanks, espo.

Margo's got
some explaining to do.

If she didn't buzz hannah in,
then who did?

And why would she lie
about it?

Castle, what's going on
with you and gates today?

What do you mean?

Seriously, castle,

What were you thinking?

Well, i wanted
to surprise you.

By putting my gift
in gates' blazer?

Well, why do you gates have to
wear such similar blazers?

Did you write a note?

Of course i wrote a note.
I'm a writer.

Was it romantic?

It's valentine's day,
so, yeah, it was romantic.

Did you put my name
on it?

Oh, god, castle, please.
Did you put my name on it?

I can't remember.

I put my name on it.
I know that much.

Oh!

If gates finds out
that we're dating,

Then that's it.

We're not gonna be
working together anymore.

Why do you think i've been
trying so hard to get it back?

Oh, we will get it back,

Right when we get
to the precinct.

But right now we got
a murder to solve.

Maybe our last.

Come in.

Thanks for buzzing us in.

You know, the interesting thing
about this building

Is that the buzzer system
runs through your telephone.

So?

So anytime someone
gets buzzed up,

It gets time stamped.

And since we know you were
at lorenzo's deli buying onions,

You couldn't have buzzed
hannah up

The night of the murder.

Which means
somebody else did.

Why did you lie to us?

From watching the show,
i know that

Your husband is in brussels
working on a deal.

So it couldn't have been him,

Which leaves only one other
person living in this house.

Your son stone.

He worked with hannah,
didn't he?

I don't like
what you're implying.

Were they having problems
with each other?

Where is stone right now,
ms. Gower?

I don't know.
He's an adult.

Really? Because in
season three, episode five,

You said that you are
your son's keeper,

Always knowing where he is
and what he's doing.

Looks like one of us
did their homework.

Now, ms. Gower,
where is stone?

I would like
to talk to my attorney.

Entertainment
or criminal?

Yeah.
Sir, we got him.

Stone bought a one-Way ticket
to buenos aires.

Flight departs in an hour.

Bob and penelope
fake their breakup,

And now poor sweet innocent
stone's a killer?

Is there anything real
on that reality show?

Just the headache i get
when i watch it.

Call t.S.A.

Do not let him
get on that flight.

Oh, my... god.

Why the sudden trip
to argentina, stone?

I just needed
a little time away.

We know that hannah
showed up at your apartment

The night that she was killed,

And we know
that you let her in.

And then for some reason,

Your mother lied about it.

Now why would she do that?

Was it because
hannah told you

That she was gonna
blow up the show

Of an ashley/stone spin-Off
going out the window?

Is that why your mom lied?

'Cause you followed hannah
out of the apartment

And you killed her?

I didn't kill her.

Don't you guys get it?

I was in love with her.

Whoa. Love?

What about ashley?

That was my mom's idea.

Look, i like ash.

We've known each other
since we were kids.

But...

Then i met hannah.

We bonded over being forced
into things

That weren't really us.

Did anyone else know
about the two of you?

No.

There's too much at stake.

For the past few weeks,

Hannah just couldn't
take it anymore,

What the show
was doing to her, her family.

She was looking
for a way out.

We both were.

But the lies had just...

Gotten so big--

Her fake affair,
my engagement.

Ash and my mom...

They were counting on
that spin-Off.

What happened the night
that hannah showed up?

She was hysterical.

She said she wanted
to leave town right away,

That it was now or never.

And i was going to, but...

But what?

Then my mom came home.

When she found out
about our relationship,

She went crazy.

She threw hannah out.

But the worst part...

Was that hannah begged me

To go with her.

But i couldn't.

In the moment
when she needed me

To stand up to my mother...

I couldn't.

Stone...

Did your mother
go after her?

No.

As soon as hannah left,

I knew i'd made a mistake.

So i ran out to catch up
with her in the street.

And i kissed her.

And i told her i loved her.

But she said
it was too late...

That she never wanted
to see any of us again.

Can anyone verify
your whereabouts

After you and hannah
went your separate ways?

I took a long walk,

So, no.

So what do you think?
You believe him?

He had motive.
She was leaving him.

And he was the last one
to see her alive

A block away from where
she was killed, so...

Only problem is,

We don't have any proof.

We can't tie stone
to the crime scene.

Actually, we can.

On a hunch, i took a look
at his wedding registry.

It turns out that ashley
and stone are registered

For a set
of takahara v.G. Knives,

Including the 240 millimeter,

Which shipped out
three weeks ago.

The lab report did say
that it was a new knife.

Then that seals it.

No, not necessarily.

We're forgetting
wedding etiquette.

The gifts don't go
to the groom.

Thank you for coming,
ashley.

Oh, anything i can do
to help.

You must be so busy planning
for the wedding right now

And dealing
with all of the gifts.

Oh, yeah.

Well, we know that your cousin

Bought you that set
of takahara v.G. Knives,

The ones that you have
on your registry.

Okay.

The funny thing is,

When we went
to your apartment,

You don't have
the 240 millimeter.

And isn't just a little weird

That she wouldn't get you
the whole set?

You were in my apartment?

Yeah, we also went to
your ceramic studio as well.

Ah, your work
is lovely, by the way.

The colors of your glazes
are stunning.

I mean, it must take a lot
of work to get--

To get them just right,
a lot of chemicals.

Like the, um,

Antimony oxide we found,
for example.

What is that for?

It's an opacifier.
It makes things opaque.

Only in this case,
it seems to make things clear.

The knife that was used
in hannah's murder,

We found traces
of antimony oxide on it

From you.

No.

You got an alert
on your phone

From the fan site,
didn't you?

That photo of hannah
at stone's apartment--

I mean, you already had
your suspicions.

You just confirmed
your worst fears.

No. No.

I think we're done here.
I'm gonna go.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. I've just--
Let me find my keys

And i will go.

Fine!

I had my suspicions.

And when i saw that picture,
i grabbed the knife,

Just to scare her.

But when i got there,
stone was kissing her

And saying he loved her.

I couldn't just let her
steal my fiance.

Our spin-Off
was in final negotiations,

For god sakes.

So...

When stone left,

I followed hannah.

I put an end
to the threat.

The next generation of
"the wives of wall street,"

And ashley takes it
to a whole new level.

Well, maybe she was just
following their motto--

"Don't let anyone stop you
from getting what you want."

Somehow made her immune
to the consequences.

You know, at least we can
tell hannah's family

That the affair
wasn't real,

That she was actually
planning on going home.
Mm-Hmm.

Speaking of consequences...

Why hasn't gates
said anything yet?

Yeah, i don't know.

Maybe
she's choosing to ignore it

Or just biding her time

Like a shark.

Night, guys.

Happy valentine's day.

Ah, once more
onto the breach?

Uh, actually,
jenny just texted me,

And i have the night off.

I mean, we'll probably still,

Uh, you know,

But tonight it will be
for romantic reasons.

Yeah.

Hey, espo.

Your date's here.

I knew they had plans.

You knew they had plans
and you didn't tell me?

Yeah,
because she asked me

To keep it a secret.

This is a really big deal
for them.

She doesn't want you
making fun of 'em.

That's not true.
That'd be fish in a barrel.

Oh.

Lanie...

You look great.

Yeah?
It's not too much?

No. It might be a little
too much for castle.

Eyes up, bud.
I do.

You look amazing, lanie.

Thanks, javi.
Mm-Hmm.

So what's the plan?

Uh, reservations
at le fourneau.

French?

Mm-Hmm.
I love french.

Je le sais,
ma petite jolie.

Ooh.

Au revoir.
Au revoir.

Ah, the magic of valentine's day
is upon us.

Mr. Castle.

My office, now.

And there it goes.

Did you really think

That i, of all people,

Would be okay with this?

No, i...

Thought--I...

"You are beauty, passion,

"And fierce intellect.

Be my valentine.
Rick."

Is that all i wrote
in there?

Isn't that enough?

What the hell
is wrong with you?

I'm a married woman.

N--I-I know. No, i know.
I just thought--

Is this some lame,
harebrained scheme

To garner favor with me?

Yeah.

That's--That's what
this is.

Well, it backfired.

And i am willing to forget
that this ever happened

If you assure me that you can
tame your childish nonsense

And accord me some respect.

I-I will. I can. I will.

And now i will go home

To my husband,

Because...

I'm his valentine.

But she already
hated you, castle.

So it doesn't sound like
you're any worse off.

I do respect the way
she handled it, though--

Strong, decisive.

I feel like somehow,

It brought us closer.

I am sorry about
the earrings, though.

Yeah, me, too.
They were... stunning.

Mm. I will get you
something else

I'll just try not to give it
to another woman first.

Oh, that would be nice.

Which reminds me...
hmm?

What did you get me?

Open it.

Maybe it's in another drawer.

It is the drawer.

It's your drawer.

I-I mean, i know it's not
a lightsaber, but--

No.

It's perfect.

Happy valentine's day.

Now...

Take your clothes off,

Put them in your drawer,

And meet me in the bed.

Seriously?
