THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF FOLKS
WHO SIT AROUND THINKING ABOUT

HOW TO KILL PEOPLE--PSYCHOPATHS
AND MYSTERY WRITERS.

I'M THE KIND THAT PAYS BETTER.
WHO AM I?
I'M RICK CASTLE.

CASTLE.
CASTLE.

I REALLY AM
RUGGEDLY HANDSOME, AREN'T I?
EVERY WRITER
NEEDS INSPIRATION,

AND I'VE FOUND MINE.
DETECTIVE KATE BECKETT.

BECKETT.
BECKETT.

NIKKI HEAT?
THE CHARACTER
HE'S BASING ON YOU.

AND THANKS TO MY FRIENDSHIP
WITH THE MAYOR,

I GET TO BE ON HER CASE.
I WOULD BE HAPPY
TO LET YOU SPANK ME.

AND TOGETHER,
WE CATCH KILLERS.
WE MAKE A PRETTY GOOD TEAM,
YOU KNOW?

LIKE STARSKY AND HUTCH,
TURNER AND HOOCH.
YOU DO REMIND ME
A LITTLE OF HOOCH.

(men) ♪ OH-A-OH-OH ♪

♪ OH-A-OH-OH ♪

I HAVE TO LAUGH AT HER JOKES.
SHE'S MY BOSS.

DO YOU HAVE TO STARE
AT HER BOOBS, TOO?
I WASN'T. SHE HAD A STAIN.

AND YOU WERE TRYING
TO MEMORIZE THE SHAPE?

WHAT? NO. I SWEAR.

IF I'M LYING,
MY GOD STRIKE ME DOWN--

OH!
AAH!

OH!

AAH!

YEAH, I WANT TO.
I JUST--I DON'T KNOW.

YES, I...

(sighs)

I CAN'T TELL HIM.
HE'LL FREAK.

HE WILL.

I GOTTA GO.
(cell phone beeps)

WHO'LL FREAK?
WHAT?

WHO'S GONNA FREAK?
OH, UM, SOMEONE FROM SCHOOL.
YOU DON'T KNOW THEM.

ARE YOU SURE?

MM-HMM.

BUT I THOUGHT I KNEW
ALL YOUR FRIENDS.

HEY, I'M SORRY, DAD,
BUT I HAVE A TON OF SCHOOLWORK.

OH, NO. YEAH.

HEY, UH...

YOU KNOW YOU COULD
TELL ME ANYTHING, RIGHT?

YEP.

(cell phone rings)

(beeps)

CASTLE.

(siren wailing,
camera shutter clicking)

(man) A BODY
FALLS OUT OF THE SKY,

AND SOMEHOW
THAT'S MY FAULT?
UGH!

HEY, CASTLE.

I HOPE WE DIDN'T TAKE YOU AWAY
FROM SOMETHING IMPORTANT

OR SOMEONE.

DID YOU EVER KEEP SECRETS
FROM YOUR DAD?

SURE.

WHAT KIND?

DO YOU REALLY
WANT TO KNOW?

ABOUT YOUR SECRETS?
ABSOLUTELY.

ABOUT MY DAUGHTER'S? MM.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M SURE IT'S NOTHING.

ALEXIS WOULD NEVER KEEP
ANYTHING SERIOUS FROM ME.

I'M THE COOL DAD.
UH-HUH.

(camera shutter clicks)

SIR, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
THE VICTIM'S JACK BUCKLEY.

WHO'S JACK BUCKLEY?
AN ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS.

BUCKLEY HATED MAKING DEALS,

LOVED PUTTING BAD GUYS
BEHIND BARS.

HE'S THE LAWYER EVERY COP
WANTED PROSECUTING THEIR CASE.

WELL, LOOKS LIKE HE DIDN'T
GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

YEAH, HIS JACKET WAS TORN.

WE FOUND HIS BRIEFCASE
UP ON THE ROOF

ALONG WITH HIS LEFT SHOE.

C.S.U. IS DOING
A FULL SWEEP.

WELL, JACK'S A BIG BOY.
WHOEVER DID IT MUST BE STRONG.

WAIT. I KNOW WHAT THIS IS.

LAWYER PUTS CRIMINAL IN JAIL.
CRIMINAL FEELS WRONGED.

CRIMINAL KILLS LAWYER.
THIS IS "CAPE FEAR."

ANY IDEA WHAT HE WAS
DOING UP THERE?
NO, I TALKED
TO HIS SECRETARY,

AND SHE SAID BUCKLEY
LEFT WORK AROUND 8:00,

HEADING STRAIGHT HOME,
WHICH IS ON THE WEST SIDE.
(Ryan) AND GET THIS.

BUCKLEY WAS A SUBWAY RIDER.
HE DIDN'T OWN A CAR.
THEN WHAT'S HE DOING

AT A PARKING GARAGE
ON THE EAST SIDE?
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

WAS BUCKLEY MARRIED?

DIVORCED. EX-WIFE
LIVES IN CALIFORNIA.

REACH OUT TO HIS WIFE.
LET'S START LOOKING

INTO HIS PERSONAL LIFE
AND SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.

THE MAYOR WANTS THIS
SOLVED QUICKLY.

NOBODY KILLS A LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER AND GETS AWAY WITH IT.

(woman) I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT HE'S DEAD.

AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHY HE WAS IN THE GARAGE?

NO.
UH, HERE ARE THE PRINTOUTS OF
MR. BUCKLEY'S CASES YOU WANTED.

THANKS.

I'M TELLING,
YOU THIS "CAPE FEAR" LIST

IS GONNA BE A GOLD MINE
OF SUSPECTS.

CHECK OUT THIS GUY--
ARCHIBALD SPINKS.

FIVE COUNTS
OF ATTEMPTED MURDER,

ONE COUNT
OF INDECENT EXPOSURE.

YOU DON'T SUPPOSE HE TRIED
TO KILL 'EM WITH HIS...

YEAH, THAT WOULDN'T WORK.

HAD MR. BUCKLEY EVER RECEIVED
ANY THREATS,

ANY PROSECUTIONS
THAT WENT UGLY?
WELL, HE DIDN'T THINK
HE WAS DOING HIS JOB RIGHT

IF HE WASN'T BEING THREATENED,
BUT NOTHING RECENTLY, NO.

HE DID SEEM TO BE UPSET
THE PAST FEW DAYS.
ANY IDEA WHY?

NO.
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS THAT MAN
THE POLICE BROUGHT IN.

WHAT MAN?
IT WAS RIGHT AFTER LUNCH
ON MONDAY. A COP BROUGHT IN

A TOUGH-LOOKING GUY IN
HANDCUFFS, TOOK HIM RIGHT IN

TO MR. BUCKLEY'S OFFICE
AND THEN WAITED OUTSIDE.
YEAH, WE HEARD THEM YELLING
THROUGH THE DOOR,

AND THEN THE OFFICER
TOOK HIM AWAY.
THAT KINDA THING
HAPPEN A LOT?

(woman) NEVER.
DO YOU REMEMBER
THE OFFICER'S NAME?

YEAH. FRANK. UH, FRANK--
FRANK CURTIS.

(Beckett)
CURTIS DOESN'T REMEMBER

WHY BUCKLEY ASKED HIM
TO BRING THE GUY IN,

BUT HE DOES REMEMBER HIS NAME.
JOHN KNOX.

DOZENS OF PRIORS.
UNIFORMS ARE BRINGING HIM IN.

I'M GUESSING THIS GUY
ISN'T EXACTLY AN ALTAR BOY.

YOU THINK?
COME ON. LET'S GO.

YOU'VE GOT QUITE A RECORD,
MR. KNOX.

YOUR PARENTS
MUST BE PROUD.

YEAH, THEY HANG ALL MY
MUG SHOTS ON THE FRIDGE.

CAN WE CUT TO THE CHASE?
TWO DAYS AGO,

YOU HAD AN ARGUMENT
WITH BUCKLEY IN HIS OFFICE.

LAST NIGHT WE FOUND HIM DEAD.

SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
OUR INTEREST.
SURE, BUT YOU'RE WASTING
YOUR TIME.

I DIDN'T KILL THE GUY.
REALLY?

BECAUSE IT SAYS HERE
THAT YOU HAVE QUITE A HISTORY

OF TRYING TO KILL PEOPLE--
THREE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS,

OR AM I MISSING ANY?
I WAS NEVER CONVICTED
OF ANYTHING.

THAT'S NOT EXACTLY
A DENIAL.

DO YOU WORK OUT?

YOU KNOW, BENCH PRESS,
DEAD LIFT?

IT MUST TAKE
A LOT OF UPPER BODY STRENGTH

TO THROW A GUY OFF A ROOF.

(laughs) WHO IS THIS GUY?

WHAT DID YOU AND BUCKLEY
FIGHT ABOUT?

LOOK, HE HAD IT OUT FOR ME
BECAUSE HE PUT ME ON TRIAL

FOR AN ASSAULT I DIDN'T COMMIT
AND HE LOST.

AND RATHER THAN BEING
A MAN ABOUT IT,

HE DECIDED TO RATTLE MY CAGE,

TO SHOW ME
WHO WAS THE ALPHA MALE.

SO, YEAH, IT WAS ANNOYING
AND CHILDISH,

BUT NOT SOMETHING YOU KILL
A GUY OVER, ESPECIALLY A D.A.

NOW I MAY BE A CRIMINAL,
BUT I'M NOT... STUPID.

DO YOU HAVE AN ALIBI
FOR BUCKLEY'S MURDER?

I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT TIME WAS HE KILLED?

9:30 P.M.
I WAS AT AN A.A. MEETING.

ANONYMOUS? THAT'S CUTE.

YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?
MNH-MNH.

WELL, THEN MAYBE
YOU'LL BELIEVE MY SPONSOR...

REVEREND DANIEL MILLER.

DID YOU SAY "REVEREND"?

(Montgomery)
SO WHERE ARE WE WITH KNOX?

THE ALIBI LOOKS SOLID.

CASTLE AND BECKETT
ARE INTERVIEWING

THE GOOD REVEREND RIGHT NOW.
WHAT ABOUT FORENSICS?

LOOKS LIKE A BUST, BUT I DID
FIND SOMETHING INTERESTING

WHEN I CHECKED INTO BUCKLEY'S
METRO CARD HISTORY.

HIS CARD ONLY MADE TWO SWIPES
A DAY FOR THE WHOLE MONTH--

6:00 A.M. AT THE SUBWAY
BY HIS APARTMENT,

8:00 P.M. BY HIS OFFICE.
BUCKLEY LIVED FOR THE JOB,
ESPECIALLY AFTER THE DIVORCE.

PROBABLY TRYING TO
LOSE HIMSELF IN THE WORK.
ON THE DAY HE WAS KILLED,
BUCKLEY DID SOMETHING UNUSUAL.

HE MADE AN EXTRA TRIP
UP TO WEST 77th STREET

BEFORE HE WENT TO WORK.

HIS SECRETARY HAS NO IDEA WHY.
SEE IF YOU CAN FIND OUT.

YO, CAP. LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY
WAS FOLLOWING OUR BOY BUCKLEY.

THE DOORMAN IN HIS APARTMENT
SAID THAT A GUY

CAME IN THERE TWO DAYS AGO
DEMANDING TO TALK TO BUCKLEY,

WOULDN'T TAKE NO
FOR AN ANSWER.

DOORMAN PRACTICALLY HAD TO
THROW THE GUY OUT.

THEN ON THE MORNING OF BUCKLEY'S
MURDER, THE DOORMAN SWEARS

THAT HE SAW THE SAME GUY HANGING
AROUND OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.

I SNAGGED A PHOTO
OFF THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE.
START LOOKING THROUGH
SOME MUG SHOT BOOKS.

THANK YOU, REVEREND.

PLEASURE MEETING YOU.
THANKS.

IS THIS FOR OUR CASE?

YEAH, THE GUY WHO TRIED TO
HASSLE BUCKLEY AT HIS BUILDING.

WAIT A SECOND.
I KNOW THIS GUY.

YES. MY "CAPE FEAR" FILE.
(rubber band snaps)

OW!

RIGHT HERE. RIGHT... HERE.

HIS NAME IS NORMAN JESSUP.

BUCKLEY GOT HIM FOUR YEARS AGO

ON A BANK ROBBERY
WHERE A GUARD GOT SHOT.

SEE? I TOLD YOU THIS FILE
WOULD SOLVE THIS CASE.

IT SAYS HERE HE GOT OUT
TWO WEEKS AGO

WHEN HIS CONVICTION
WAS OVERTURNED

BY THE APPELLATE COURT
ON A TECHNICALITY.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REASON
FOR JESSUP TO CELEBRATE

NOT TO KILL BUCKLEY.
YEAH, EXCEPT BUCKLEY
ALREADY FILED

AN INTENT TO RETRY.

JESSUP WAS LOOKING
AT ANOTHER TWO YEARS IN JAIL

IF BUCKLEY WON.
WELL, THAT MIGHT HAVE
MADE JESSUP A LITTLE MAD.

RIGHT, AND THEN IT'S ALL...

(as Robert De Niro) "COME OUT,
COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE."

REALLY?
THAT'S YOUR De NIRO?

GET A CURRENT ADDRESS
AND A LIST OF KNOWN ASSOCIATES.

I'D LIKE TO HEAR
WHAT JESSUP HAS TO SAY.

WAIT. WAIT.
YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG.

(man grunts)
HEY!

COME ON! POLICE! BREAK IT UP!
(men grunting)

ARE YOU GONNA DO SOMETHING?
BREAKING UP A BAR FIGHT
IS A SURE WAY TO GET HIT.

DON'T WORRY.
IT'LL BE OVER IN A MINUTE.

YOU KNOW, I WAS
IN A BAR FIGHT ONCE.

REALLY? WHO WON?

OW! AH!
OH, LET ME GUESS. (grunts)

NOT YOU.
(groaning)

YOU WANT TO FIGHT, MR. JESSUP?
YOU CAN FIGHT A MURDER CHARGE.
(handcuffs click)

♪♪

YO, I'M SORRY, MAN.

I DIDN'T MEAN
TO EMBARRASS YOU

IN FRONT OF
YOUR GIRLFRIEND THERE.
I AM NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND.
I AM A HOMICIDE DETECTIVE.

AND YOU SHOULD BE TAKING THIS
A LITTLE BIT MORE SERIOUSLY.

HEY, THAT GUY IN THAT BAR, HE
STARTED THIS WHOLE THING, OKAY?

HE THOUGHT I WAS
HITTING ON HIS GIRLFRIEND,

AND I WAS NOT
HITTING ON HIS GIRLFRIEND.

IT WAS JUST
A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING.
RIGHT. JUST LIKE
THE BANK ROBBERY.

EXACTLY.
I HAD NO IDEA MY BUDDIES

WERE GONNA ROB THAT BANK--
NO IDEA AT ALL.

THEY SAID THEIR CAR BROKE DOWN
AND THEY NEEDED A RIDE.

AND I GAVE THEM A RIDE.
AND THAT ARGUMENT
DIDN'T SWAY BUCKLEY?

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? HE TOLD MY
LAWYER THAT THE GUARD GOT SHOT,

AND THEREFORE,
IN THE EYES OF THE LAW,

I WAS JUST AS RESPONSIBLE
AS THE GUY WHO SHOT HIM.
THAT MUST HAVE MADE YOU ANGRY.

HOW'D YOU FEEL ABOUT THE FACT
THAT BUCKLEY

WAS GONNA RETRY YOUR CASE
AND TRY TO MAKE YOU SERVE

THE FINAL TWO YEARS
OF YOUR SENTENCE?
HONESTLY, LADY?
I CRIED LIKE A BABY.

HUH.
PRISON IS NOT FUN, OKAY?
I DID NOT WANT TO GO BACK.

I FIGURED IF I COULD
JUST TALK TO MR. BUCKLEY,

I COULD LET HIM KNOW
WHERE I'M COMING FROM.
WHICH IS WHAT YOU WERE DOING
AT BUCKLEY'S BUILDING.

WHOA. WHOA. I FOLLOWED THE MAN
AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS, OKAY?

JUST SO I COULD GET
MY COURAGE UP TO TALK TO HIM.
YOU WERE STALKING BUCKLEY?

STALKING IS
A PRETTY DAMN UGLY WORD.

LET'S NOT USE STALKING, OKAY?

I WAS JUST TRYING
TO FEEL THE GUY OUT.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? TRYING TO
CONVINCE HIM, YOU KNOW?

IN CASE YOU GUYS
HAVEN'T NOTICED,

I'M SOMEWHAT OF A WORDSMITH,
YOU KNOW? (chuckles)

A REAL MASTER OF,
YOU KNOW, OF, UH...
WORDS?

WHERE WERE YOU BETWEEN 9:00
AND 10:00 LAST NIGHT?

I WAS SITTING IN THE BAR
YOU GUYS JUST DRAGGED ME OUT OF.

OKAY. WELL, WE'RE GONNA
CHECK INTO YOUR ALIBI.

IN THE MEANTIME, YOU'RE GOING
BACK INTO HOLDING

UNTIL WE CAN PROCESS YOU
FOR ASSAULT.

OH, OH, COME ON!
I SAID I WAS SORRY.
(Castle) WAIT.
BUCKLEY'S MYSTERY TRIP.

WERE YOU FOLLOWING BUCKLEY
UPTOWN YESTERDAY MORNING?

YEAH, YEAH, I WAS.

WHERE DID HE GO?
HE MET SOME ASIAN DUDE

OUTSIDE THIS REAL FANCY
APARTMENT BUILDING.

THEN THEY STARTED TO ARGUE
WITH EACH OTHER.

YOU THINK MAYBE THAT'S
THE GUY WHO KILLED HIM?

WOULD YOU RECOGNIZE THE BUILDING
IF YOU SAW IT AGAIN?

OH, YEAH. I GET AROUND.

ROAD TRIP.

♪♪

HEY, YOU GUYS MIND
IF I TAKE THESE THINGS OFF?

I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE
A STEREOTYPE

RIDING AROUND IN THE BACK
OF A POLICE CAR WEARING 'EM.
SURE. DO YOU WANT MY KEY?

NO. I GOT IT. THANKS.

(metal clicks)

(exhales)

HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

(chuckles) I'VE ALWAYS
BEEN GOOD WITH LOCKS.

WHEN I WAS IN THE JOINT,
I WAS THINKING,

HOW CAN I TAKE THIS AND MAKE IT
MORE PRODUCTIVE, YOU KNOW?

SO I BEEN APPLYING
TO LOCKSMITH SCHOOLS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY WON'T LET ME
IN ON ACCOUNT THAT I'M A FELON.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
A FELON WHO WANTS TO BE
A LOCKSMITH.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY
GO WRONG THERE?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE MEAN
ABOUT IT.

YEAH, WOW.

♪♪

IF YOU'RE GONNA BE A LOCKSMITH,
YOU GOTTA LISTEN.

LEFT TO RIGHT,
RIGHT OVER LEFT.
I THINK I MADE IT TIGHTER.

JESSUP,
DO YOU SEE THE BUILDING?

UH, THAT'S A NEGATIVE.
NOW BRING IT AROUND...

(cell phone rings and beeps)
BECKETT.

OH, HEY. ALEXIS. UH, ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR YOUR DAD?

TO ME?

OKAY, WHAT'S UP?

YEAH, YEAH. WE CAN MEET
AT SUTTON'S AROUND 7:30.

IS THAT OKAY?

ALL RIGHT,
I'LL SEE YOU THEN.
(beep)

WAS THAT ALEXIS CALLING YOU?
WHY?

SHE NEEDED MY ADVICE.

ABOUT WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S PROBABLY NO BIG DEAL.

WHEN YOU KEPT SECRETS
FROM YOUR FATHER,

WAS IT NOT A BIG DEAL?

YOU KNOW,
I'M NOT EVEN GONNA ASK.

THAT'S THE BUILDING
ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE.

RIGHT THERE.
OKAY.

LET'S GO GET 'EM.
NOT YOU. US.

(woman) YEAH, 801. RIGHT THERE.
APARTMENT 801?
OKAY. THANKS.

SO IT TURNS OUT

THAT THE BUILDING'S
ONLY ASIAN TENANT IS PAUL CHO,

WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE
BUCKLEY'S EX-BROTHER-IN-LAW.

OH, WELL, MAYBE IT'S NOT
"CAPE FEAR" THEN.
(doorbell buzzes)

MAYBE IT'S "FAMILY FEUD."
MAYBE BUCKLEY'S BITTER DIVORCE

CAUSED ENOUGH HARD FEELINGS
THAT THINGS TURNED VIOLENT?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I HAVEN'T SEEN JACK IN MONTHS.

NOT SINCE
HE DIVORCED MY SISTER.

REALLY?

BECAUSE I HAVE AN EYEWITNESS

WHO SAW THE TWO OF YOU ARGUING
YESTERDAY MORNING.

SO THAT MEANS YOU'RE LYING
TO ME.
(whispers)
SHE HATES BEING LIED TO.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

GREAT. LET'S GO DOWN
TO THE PRECINCT.

I'LL ARRANGE A PERP WALK,

AND YOU CAN PUT ON
A SHOW FOR THE CAMERAS.
LOVE A GOOD PERP WALK.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

THE NIGHT BEFORE LAST,

I WAS ATTACKED BY A MAN
IN A SKI MASK.

HE WARNED ME TO TELL BUCKLEY
TO BACK OFF DANTON

OR HE WOULD RUIN ME.
WHO'S DANTON?

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT JACK DEFINITELY KNEW HIM.

HE SAID HE WASN'T GONNA
LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THIS.

THAT'S WHY WE WERE FIGHTING.

I TOLD JACK TO LISTEN
FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE.

HE HAD TO PROTECT ME.
FROM WHAT?

THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
PERP WALK IT IS.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

I HAVE A...

SLIGHT FONDNESS...

FOR GIRLS.

YOUNG GIRLS?

FAT GIRLS?

SCHOOLGIRLS?

CALL GIRLS.

(whispers) OH.
WHO ELSE KNOWS ABOUT
THIS FONDNESS?

JUST THE GIRLS.

ACTUALLY, THE GIRLS...
AND THEIR PIMP.

WHOSE NAME
IS PROBABLY DANTON.

O-OKAY, FINE.
BUT I WASN'T REALLY LYING.

I-I'VE ACTUALLY
NEVER MET DANTON.

UH, I GOT THE PHONE NUMBER
FOR THE AGENCY FROM A FRIEND.

I CALL IT,
AND THEN SEND OVER A GIRL.

SO BUCKLEY IS INVESTIGATING
DANTON'S CALL GIRL RING.

WHEN DANTON DISCOVERS

THAT BUCKLEY'S BROTHER-IN-LAW
IS A CLIENT,

HE SENDS A MESSAGE--BACK OFF
OR YOUR FAMILY GETS HURT.

AND THEN WHEN BUCKLEY
DOESN'T BACK DOWN,

DANTON KILLS HIM.

SO HOW DO WE FIND DANTON?

WE TALK TO
ONE OF THE CALL GIRLS.

CALL THAT NUMBER AND TELL HIM
TO BRING ONE OF HIS GIRLS OVER.

AND TELL HER
TO WEAR SOMETHING SEXY.

NO REASON WE CAN'T ENJOY
THIS INTERVIEW.

(doorbell buzzes)

(woman) HEY, PAUL.

COULDN'T WAIT
TO SEE ME, HUH?

ACTUALLY, I'M THE ONE
WHO ASKED FOR THE DATE.

ISN'T THAT THE GIRL
FROM BUCKLEY'S OFFICE?

DID SHE
LOOK LIKE THAT BEFORE?

(Castle) SO HOW EXACTLY
DOES A CALL GIRL

END UP WORKING FOR
JACK BUCKLEY, SUPER D.A.?

AM I UNDER ARREST?

YOU WILL BE IF YOU DON'T
ANSWER THE QUESTION.

JACK WAS A CLIENT.

I-I'M SORRY, SCARLETT.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

I STARTED SEEING HIM
ABOUT A YEAR AGO.

HE HADN'T BEEN WITH ANYONE
SINCE HIS DIVORCE.

HE WAS JUST LONELY,
YOU KNOW?

WE'D SPEND
MOST OF HIS DATES TALKING.

HE'D TAKE ME
TO FANCY RESTAURANTS...

EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HIM
HE DIDN'T HAVE TO.

BUT I THINK HE WANTED
TO MAKE IT FEEL

AS NORMAL AS POSSIBLE.

THEN ONE NIGHT, HE SAW...

A LAW BOOK IN MY BAG.

I TOLD HIM I WAS ONLY
WORKING AS AN ESCORT

TO PAY MY WAY
THROUGH LAW SCHOOL.

A FEW MONTHS LATER, HE SAID
HE HAD AN INTERNSHIP

OPENING UP IN HIS OFFICE.

WOULD I BE INTERESTED?

HE WANTED TO HELP YOU
ESCAPE THE LIFE?

WHO'S DANTON?

I DON'T KNOW.
DON'T LIE TO US, SCARLETT.

I'M NOT.

I-I KNOW HE RUNS THE BUSINESS,
BUT I'VE NEVER MET HIM.

IT'S NOT LIKE
I'M A STREETWALKER

AND HE'S IN A FEDORA
AND A LONG FUR COAT.

HE'S ORGANIZED
THE ENTIRE OPERATION

TO PROTECT HIS IDENTITY.

THE GIRLS ARE
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS.

THE CLIENTS
ARE ALL GIVEN NUMBERS

SO WE DON'T KNOW
THEIR LAST NAMES.

THEY PAY THE BUSINESS
BY CREDIT CARD.

AND OUR FEES GET DEPOSITED
DIRECTLY INTO OUR BANK ACCOUNTS.

CREATING THE PERFECT FIREWALL

BETWEEN THE GIRLS
AND THE MANAGEMENT.

SO THEN WHEN WE ARREST YOU,
YOU CAN'T GIVE UP DANTON.

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
WHO HE IS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE JACK BUCKLEY
WAS SEEING PROSTITUTES.

YEAH, WELL, HE WORKED
14 HOURS A DAY,

DIDN'T HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE.

MAYBE HE JUST WANTED
A LITTLE EASY COMPANY.

WELL, THE MATH
JUST DOESN'T ADD UP, THOUGH.

BUCKLEY WAS WARNED
TO BACK OFF DANTON.

WHY WOULD BUCKLEY
BE INVESTIGATING

A CALL GIRL SERVICE
HE WAS USING?

MAYBE DANTON TRIED TO BLACKMAIL
BUCKLEY, AND IT BACKFIRED.

SO THEN DANTON
TRIED TO SCARE BUCKLEY

BY THREATENING
HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW.

AND THEN WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK,
DANTON KILLED BUCKLEY.
ALL RIGHT.

LET'S FIND OUT EVERYTHING WE CAN
ABOUT THIS DANTON CHARACTER.

HAVE RYAN AND ESPOSITO REACH OUT
TO VICE IN THE MORNING.
YES, SIR.

CASTLE, I NEED YOU TO SIGN
THESE CHARGES AGAINST JESSUP

SO I CAN SEND HIM DOWNTOWN.

WHAT?

(pen hits clipboard)

NO, DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE GOT
A SOFT SPOT FOR THIS GUY.

HE'S A WORDSMITH.

OKAY. FINE.

(clicks keypad buttons)

HI, IT'S BECKETT.

UH, CHARGES ARE BEING DROPPED
AGAINST JESSUP.

PROCESS HIM OUT.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
(hangs up receiver)

I HOPE THE TWO OF YOU
ARE VERY HAPPY TOGETHER.

ARE YOU OKAY?

NO. I... BROKE A HEEL.

LET ME GUESS.

THEY WERE YOUR FAVORITE PAIR,

PASSED THROUGH YOUR FAMILY
FOR GENERATIONS.

MY GREAT-GREAT-GRANDMOTHER
WORE THEM OVER

ON THE "MAYFLOWER."

I KNEW IT.

SO WHAT'S A NICE GIRL
LIKE YOU...

REALLY?
THAT'S YOUR LINE?

I'M OLD-FASHIONED.

I CAME TO NEW YORK
IN THIS ANCIENT BLUE BEETLE.

THE FLOOR WAS SO RUSTED,

IT LITERALLY SAGGED
IN THE MIDDLE.

BUT I CAN STILL REMEMBER
COMING OVER THE BRIDGE

AND SEEING THE CITY
RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME.

I THOUGHT EVERYTHING
WAS GONNA BE PERFECT.

SOMETHING TELLS ME THIS STORY
TAKES A TURN FOR THE WORSE.

THE FIRST NIGHT, UH,
SOMEBODY BROKE INTO MY CAR

AND STOLE ALL MY STUFF.

THEN THE COLLEGE FRIEND
I WAS GONNA STAY WITH

TOLD ME HER BOYFRIEND
WAS MOVING IN.

I HAD TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE.
OOH.

BUT SOMEHOW, I SURVIVED.

SPENT A YEAR BARELY EATING,

LIVING IN A CLOSET.

WHEN A FRIEND MENTIONED
DOING THIS,

I THOUGHT...
COULDN'T BE WORSE.

AND IS IT?

MOSTLY NO.

THANKS FOR LISTENING.

GOOD NIGHT, CASTLE.

YOU GOING TO MEET ALEXIS?
YEAH.

CAN I COME?
NO.

BUT I WANT TO.

WHY ARE YOU
SO WORRIED, CASTLE?

I THOUGHT
YOU WERE THE COOL DAD.

I AM.

WHAT'S THE SECRET?

ALL IN THE BREATHING, DEAR.

NO, WHAT'S ALEXIS' SECRET

THAT SHE'LL TELL BECKETT ABOUT
BUT NOT ME?

I DON'T KNOW.
THERE ARE SOME THINGS A WOMAN

WANTS TO TALK
TO ANOTHER WOMAN ABOUT.
THE "NEW YORK TIMES"

PRAISED THE DEPTH
OF MY FEMALE CHARACTERS.

I KNOW.
AND I COULDN'T BE PROUDER.

BUT THIS IS REAL LIFE.

AND OBVIOUSLY,
ALEXIS LOOKS UP TO BECKETT.

AND BECKETT'S SMART AND STRONG
AND INDEPENDENT.
SO ARE YOU.

THAT'S SWEET. MM.

I'M ON THE WRONG SIDE OF 40

FOR WHAT ALEXIS
IS GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW.
40?

DEFLECT ALL YOU WANT, KIDDO,

BUT I RECOGNIZE
THE FEAR IN YOUR EYES.

YOU'RE AFRAID ALEXIS HAS
MORE RICK CASTLE IN HER

THAN YOU THOUGHT.
HEY, SWEETIE. HOW DID
YOUR TALK WITH BECKETT, GO?

FINE. SHE'S REALLY NICE.

YEAH, SHE IS.

YOU KNOW, SWEETHEART,
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TELL ME

WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT
WITH BECKETT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
OKAY. THANKS, DAD.

(grunts)
WHAT IS THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST ASK HER?

BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE PRYING,
AND COOL DADS DON'T DO THAT.

AHH.
THEY GO BEHIND
THEIR DAUGHTER'S BACK,

AND THEY BEG BECKETT
TO TELL 'EM.

(elevator bell dings)

YOU EVER HAVE
ANY CASES WITH BUCKLEY?
A FEW.

GUY WAS WOUND A LITTLE TIGHT
IF YOU ASK ME.

SAW HIMSELF
AS A CRUSADER FOR JUSTICE.

YO, ESPOSITO.
GIL MAZZARA.
WHAT'S UP, MAN?

HOW YOU DOING?
SO YOU STILL LOOKING AT
DIRTY PICTURES UP IN VICE?

YEAH, TELL YOUR MOM
TO SEND OVER SOME NEW ONES.

THE ONES I GOT
ARE GETTING OLD.
(laughs)

YOU KNOW MY PARTNER--RYAN?
YEAH. HONEY MILK.
NICE TO SEE YOU.

SO, UH, I HEAR YOU'RE
LOOKING TO TALK ABOUT DANTON.

YEAH. YOU KNOW HIM?
YEAH, I ARRESTED HIM
FIVE YEARS AGO.

REAL NAME'S DAN TONELLI.

DAN-TON.

YEAH.
HE'S CURRENTLY SERVING

A 7-YEAR STRETCH
IN GREEN HAVEN CORRECTIONAL.

WAIT A MINUTE.
HE'S STILL IN PRISON?

AND YOUR BOY BUCKLEY
PUT HIM THERE.
BUCKLEY PROSECUTED DANTON?

YEAH. AND HE WAS ALL OVER US
TO MAKE A ROCK-SOLID CASE.

WE GAVE BUCKLEY ENOUGH TO PUT
THE GUY AWAY FOR 20 YEARS.

COULD TONELLI STILL BE RUNNING
THE OPERATION OUT OF PRISON?
NAH.

THESE CALL GIRL RINGS
ARE LIKE FRANCHISES.

THE BUSINESS CHANGES HANDS,
BUT THE NAME STAYS THE SAME.

SO WHO'S THE NEW DANTON?

I WISH I KNEW.
GUY'S LIKE A GHOST.

EVERY TIME WE THINK WE'RE
GETTING CLOSE, HE DISAPPEARS.

FIVE WARRANTS IN THE LAST YEAR,
AND EVERY TIME WE SHOW UP,

THE PLACE HAS BEEN CLEARED OUT
LIKE HE KNEW WE WERE COMING.
YOU CALL THE PRISON. GET 'EM
TO BRING TONELLI OVER HERE.

HEY. YOU GUYS SEEN BECKETT?

SHE WENT WITH THE CAPTAIN
TO UPDATE CITY HALL ON THE CASE.

SHE'LL BE HERE IN A MINUTE.
SOMETHING WRONG?

NO. YES.

I THINK MY DAUGHTER MIGHT BE
KEEPING SOMETHING FROM ME.

MAYBE SHE GOT
KICKED OUTTA SCHOOL.
WHAT?

OR SHE'S DOING DRUGS.
MM-HMM. TEEN PREGNANCY
IS ON THE RISE.

WHOA. ALL RIGHT,
YOU'VE MET MY DAUGHTER.

YOU KNOW THAT SHE IS
THE CLOSEST THING TO PERFECT

AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.
(snickers)

CASTLE, COME ON. YOU'VE BEEN
WITH US LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW

THAT PEOPLE ARE NEVER
WHO YOU THINK THEY ARE.

ISN'T IT POSSIBLE
YOUR PERFECT DAUGHTER

ISN'T AS PERFECT
AS YOU THINK?
IS DANTON HERE YET?

YEP.
INTERROGATION ROOM ONE.

WAIT, DANTON?

COME ON, CASTLE.
KEEP UP.

WE BROUGHT YOU IN HERE
TO TALK ABOUT DANTON.

ANCIENT HISTORY.

IT SAYS HERE, BUCKLEY MADE
A PLEA DEAL WITH YOU--

7 YEARS INSTEAD OF 20.

BUT I HEARD
BUCKLEY DOESN'T MAKE DEALS.

WHAT COULD I SAY?
I GOT LUCKY.

THE ONLY REASON THAT BUCKLEY
WOULD AGREE TO A DEAL

IS BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT HIM
SOMETHING BIG IN RETURN.

SO WHAT WAS IT?

WHY DON'T YOU ASK HIM?
BECAUSE HE'S DEAD.

WHAT? HOW?

HE WAS MURDERED
TWO NIGHTS AGO.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE SAME PERSON
WHO TOOK OVER YOUR OPERATIONS

KILLED HIM.
(laughs)

WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

WELL, YOU SEE, THAT WOULD
MAKE IT A SUICIDE.

SUICIDE?
WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU'RE SAYING THAT JACK BUCKLEY
WAS THE NEW DANTON?

BUCKLEY MADE ME A DEAL.

I PROVIDE HIM WITH
MY CLIENT LIST, MY GIRLS,

HE KNOCKS 13 YEARS OFF
MY SENTENCE.

IT WAS A NO-BRAINER.
OUR D.A. WAS A PIMP.

JACK BUCKLEY WAS DANTON.

THAT'S WHY
ALL VICE'S WARRANTS FAILED.

THEY HAD TO GO THROUGH
THE D.A's OFFICE,

AND BUCKLEY SAW THEM COMING.

HE WAS IN THE PERFECT POSITION
TO PROTECT HIS OPERATION.

BUT WHY WOULD A RESPECTED
PROSECUTOR BECOME A PIMP?

THE OUTFITS.
(Esposito) IT WAS THE MONEY.

BUCKLEY'S EX-WIFE
TOOK HIM TO THE CLEANERS.

BETWEEN ALIMONY
AND HIS OWN BILLS,

BUCKLEY WAS BEYOND BROKE.
YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M BETTIN' IT WAS
MORE THAN JUST THE MONEY.

EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT
HOW GREAT JACK BUCKLEY WAS,

HOW HE WAS THE LAW.

YOU START THINKING LIKE THAT,

SOMETIMES YOU CAN START THINKING
MAYBE YOU ARE ABOVE THE LAW,

THAT YOU CAN GET AWAY
WITH ANYTHING.

SIR, HOW DID THE MAYOR
HANDLE THE NEWS?
WHEW.
YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

UGH. OKAY, THIS DOESN'T
MAKE ANY SENSE.

IF BUCKLEY WAS THE NEW DANTON,
THEN WHY WOULD THE MASKED MAN

TELL BUCKLEY
TO BACK OFF OF DANTON?

BUCKLEY WOULDN'T
THREATEN HIMSELF.

UNLESS BUCKLEY WASN'T
THE BOSS ANYMORE.

A HOSTILE TAKEOVER.
OF COURSE.

WE KNOW DANTON WAS JUST
A BUSINESS NAME.

SO "BACK OFF OF DANTON"

WAS THE NEW BOSS
TELLING THE OLD BOSS,

"DON'T RESIST THE TAKEOVER

OR I'LL START
RUINING REPUTATIONS."
MAKES SENSE IN THEORY,
BUT HOW DO YOU PROVE IT?

WE TALK TO THE CALL GIRL.

THERE IS NO WAY

THAT SCARLETT DIDN'T KNOW
THAT BUCKLEY WAS IN CHARGE.

NO, SERIOUSLY, WHAT DID
ALEXIS TELL YOU LAST NIGHT?

I PROMISED
I WOULDN'T SAY.

WELL, AT LEAST TELL ME
IF IT WAS BAD.

AND PUT YOU
OUT OF YOUR MISERY?

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SCARLETT.
SHE'S PACKING HER THINGS.

WE CAN'T HAVE CALL GIRLS
WORKING HERE.

NO, ONLY PIMPS.

DETECTIVE.

COULD YOU GIVE US
A MOMENT, PLEASE?

SCARLETT, YOU LIED TO US.

BUCKLEY WAS RUNNING
THE CALL GIRL RING,

AND THERE'S NO WAY
THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW.

PLEASE. I HAD TO LIE.

HE'D KILL ME IF HE THOUGHT
I TOLD YOU ANYTHING.

WHO'D KILL YOU,
THE NEW DANTON?

SOMEONE TOOK OVER BUCKLEY'S
BUSINESS. WHO WAS IT?

ANSWER ME.
HE USED TO WORK FOR BUCKLEY.

HE MADE SURE NO ONE HURT
THE GIRLS AND EVERYONE PAID.
WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
SCARLETT, I'M DONE PLAYING.

YOU'VE DONE NOTHING BUT LIE
TO US. DON'T THINK THAT I'M NOT

GONNA SEND YOU AWAY
FOR OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE

AND ANYTHING ELSE
THAT I CAN THINK OF.
HE'LL KILL ME.

WE WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN.
DETECTIVE BECKETT CAN HELP YOU,

BUT YOU HAVE TO
HELP US FIRST.
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS TO ME?

YOU THINK I'M GONNA BE
A LAWYER NOW?

JACK WAS GONNA WRITE ME
A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION,

PULL SOME STRINGS
TO GET ME A JOB.

WHO'S GONNA HELP ME NOW?
HONESTLY? NO ONE.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO IT
BY YOURSELF, SCARLETT.

AND I GOT A FEELING
THAT YOU CAN.

TELL US WHO THE NEW BOSS IS...

AND DETECTIVE BECKETT
WILL MAKE SURE

NO ONE KNOWS
IT WAS YOU WHO TALKED TO US.

YOU PROMISE?

YES.

HIS NAME IS JOHN KNOX.

KNOX? BUT THAT'S--

THE GUY THAT BUCKLEY
DRAGGED IN HERE IN HANDCUFFS.

HOW DOES A PROSECUTOR GET INTO
BUSINESS WITH A CRIMINAL?

WELL, IT'S HARD OUT THERE
FOR A PIMP...

WHO'S ALSO A D.A.

OOH, THAT'D BE
A GOOD CHARACTER FOR A NOVEL.
MM.

A STAR PROSECUTOR
WHO'S ALWAYS EXCELLED

AT ANYTHING HE'S EVER DONE...

HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY IMAGINE
THAT BEING A PIMP

WOULD BE A BIGGER JOB
THAN HE COULD HANDLE BY HIMSELF.

BUT ONE DAY HE GETS A CALL--

ONE OF HIS GIRLS HAS BEEN
KNOCKED AROUND BY A CLIENT.

HE REALIZES THERE'S NOTHING
HE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

HE'S A VERY PUBLIC FIGURE.
MM-HMM.

SO A WHITE-COLLAR PROSECUTOR
DECIDES TO HIRE

A BLUE-COLLARED ENFORCER.

CAN'T EXACTLY TAKE OUT AN AD
ON craigslist FOR THAT,

BUT FORTUNATELY ENOUGH,
HE HAS A BIG STACK

OF QUALIFIED CANDIDATES
SITTING RIGHT ON HIS DESK.
WHICH IS WHERE HE FOUND
JOHN KNOX,

A CRIMINAL WHO MOSTLY MANAGED
TO STAY OUT OF PRISON.
WHICH MAKES HIM
A SMART CRIMINAL.

YEAH.
BUCKLEY OFFERS HIM A DEAL--

"COME WORK FOR ME,
I'LL THROW YOUR CASE."

AND KNOX DOES.
MM-HMM.

FOR A WHILE,
EVERYONE'S HAPPY.

BUT THEN KNOX DECIDES

HE'S NOT HAPPY
BEING NUMBER TWO ANYMORE.

HE TAKES BUCKLEY'S CLIENT LIST,
TELLS BUCKLEY TO TAKE A HIKE.

KNOWING THAT BUCKLEY
CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

WITHOUT RISKING EXPOSURE.
MM-HMM.

BUT BUCKLEY'S NEVER BACKED DOWN
FROM A FIGHT IN HIS LIFE.

HE GETS THE COPS TO DRAG KNOX
DOWN TO HIS OFFICE

TO REMIND HIM WHO'S BOSS.
BUT KNOX TOOK IT UP A NOTCH,

SENDING A WARNING SHOT
ACROSS BUCKLEY'S BOW

BY THREATENING
HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW.
AND WHEN BUCKLEY
WOULDN'T BACK DOWN,

KNOX THREW HIM OFF THE ROOF
OF A PARKING GARAGE.
JEEZ, IF ONLY
WE HAD SOME PROOF.

(chuckles) WHO NEEDS PROOF?
WHAT A GREAT STORY.

OF COURSE, KNOX HAS AN ALIBI.

YOU KNOW,
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

MAYBE KNOX IS SMART.
MAYBE HE SENT SOMEONE ELSE.

OOH, I LIKE THE TWIST--

THE ENFORCER
HAS AN ENFORCER.

BUT WHO?

♪♪

NO, IT WORKED OUT WELL.
IT WAS GOOD.

YOU KNOW, I'LL TALK
TO YOU GUYS LATER, OKAY?
(men speak indistinctly)

HI. REMEMBER US?

I DEFINITELY REMEMBER YOU.

WE NEED TO ASK YOU
A FEW QUESTIONS.

I ALREADY ANSWERED
YOUR QUESTIONS.

MAYBE YOU DIDN'T SEE
THE BADGE.

OH, I SAW IT.

YOU LADIES READY?
EXCELLENT.

YOU TWO
HAVE A NICE EVENING.

(Knox) WHO'S HUNGRY?
WHAT DO YOU GUYS FEEL LIKE?

AREN'T YOU GONNA STOP HIM?

I CAN'T.
UNLESS WE ARREST HIM,

THE LAW SAYS THAT HE DOESN'T
HAVE TO TALK TO US,

AND HE KNOWS THAT.
SO ARREST HIM.

ON WHAT GROUNDS?

WE PROMISED SCARLETT
THAT WE'D KEEP HER OUT OF IT.

SO UNLESS
WE GET SOME EVIDENCE,

HE'S GETTING AWAY WITH THIS.

SCARLETT?

YOU'RE HURT.

(voice breaks) I DIDN'T
KNOW WHERE ELSE TO GO.

COME. SIT DOWN.

YOU SHOULD GO
TO A HOSPITAL.

IT'S JUST A FEW BRUISES.
I'LL BE FINE.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

A CLIENT
IN THE PUBLISHING BUSINESS

GAVE ME YOUR ADDRESS.

DINNER FOR ONE?

YEAH, MY FAMILY
IS AT THE THEATER.

GOOD.

I WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE ELSE
TO SEE ME LIKE THIS.

DID KNOX DO THIS TO YOU?

(sniffles)
IT DOESN'T MATTER.

OF COURSE IT DOES.

DO YOU THINK
THAT BY PROTECTING HIM,

YOU'RE SAVING YOURSELF SOMEHOW?
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT.

AND IF YOU DON'T GET OUT
FROM UNDER HIS THUMB NOW,

YOU NEVER WILL.

WHY ARE YOU SO NICE TO ME?

HOW DO YOU KNOW
I'M NOT THIS NICE

TO ALL THE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
I FIND ON MY DOORSTEP?

YOU REALLY THINK
I'M BEAUTIFUL?

LOOK, MAYBE WE SHOULD--

I'M SORRY.
NO.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.
IT'S OKAY. IT'S...

YOU'RE HURT
AND YOU'RE SCARED.

BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
THAT PERSON WITH ME.

YOU'RE SAFE HERE.

KNOX KILLED BUCKLEY.

NO. NO, HE HAS AN ALIBI.

(sniffles)

THE REVEREND?

KNOX MADE ME TAKE IT.

REVEREND DANIEL IS A CLIENT.

KNOX IS BLACKMAILING HIM
INTO SAYING

THEY WERE TOGETHER
WHEN BUCKLEY WAS KILLED.

THANK YOU.

NOW I'M TAKING YOU
TO A HOSPITAL. NO ARGUMENTS.

OKAY.

HEY.

I'M THINKING
KNOX KILLED BUCKLEY.

KNOX HAS AN ALIBI.

HMM, DOES HE?

REVEREND ALIBI IN THE FLESH--
LOTS OF FLESH...

TOO MUCH FLESH.

WHERE'D YOU GET THIS?
SCARLETT PRICE.

YOU SAW HER WITHOUT ME?

UH, WELL, YES.

SHE'S A PERSON OF INTEREST
IN OUR INVESTIGATION,

OUR MURDER INVESTIGATION.
NO, I KNOW.

WHERE'D YOU SEE HER?
UH... MY APARTMENT.

WHAT?
WHEN I CAME HOME LAST NIGHT,
SHE WAS IN MY HALL,

AND SOMEBODY HAD BEATEN HER UP.
AND YOU DIDN'T THINK
TO CALL ME?

WELL, I TOOK HER
TO THE HOSPITAL.

THE NIGHT KINDA GOT AWAY
FROM ME, AND THEN I CAME HERE,

YOU KNOW, TO SURPRISE YOU
LIKE--LIKE I DO.
WE ARE NOT DONE
TALKING ABOUT THIS.

(Beckett) ESPOSITO.

YEAH.
HAVE SURVEILLANCE
PULL IN KNOX.

ON IT.
WHOA. YOU HAD KNOX
UNDER SURVEILLANCE

AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?
AT LEAST I DIDN'T GO OUT
ON A DATE WITH HIM.

IT WASN'T A DATE.
REALLY?

TROUBLE.
KNOX'S APARTMENT IS EMPTY.

HE MUST HAVE SLIPPED OUT
DURING THE NIGHT.

SCARLETT...
(keypad beeps)

I LEFT HER
AT ST. VINCENT'S HOSPITAL.

YES. HELLO. I DROPPED A YOUNG
WOMAN OFF THERE LAST NIGHT.

HER NAME IS SCARLETT PRICE.
SHE'D BEEN BEATEN UP.

I NEED TO SPEAK TO HER
RIGHT AWAY, PLEASE. WHAT? WHEN?

THANK YOU.

A MAN CHECKED HER OUT
RIGHT AFTER I LEFT.
KNOX.

GET A UNIT OUT
TO SCARLETT'S APARTMENT

AND GET AN A.P.B. OUT
ON BOTH OF THEM.

(cell phone rings and beeps)

HELLO.
(Scarlett) He's got me.

SCARLETT, HANG ON,
HANG ON.

(beep)
I think he's gonna kill me.

WHERE ARE YOU?
I don't know. I...

(Knox) Hey, what are you
doing in there?!
SCARLETT.

(beep)
WHAT DO WE DO?
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING?

RYAN, GET THE CARRIER
ON THE PHONE.

LET 'EM KNOW THAT I'M ABOUT
A MINUTE AWAY

FROM GETTING A TRACE WARRANT
ON THE FOLLOWING NUMBER--

212-555-0179.

GOT IT.
(cell phone dials)

THIS IS DETECTIVE KATE BECKETT,
BADGE NUMBER 4-1-3-1-9.

I NEED TO TALK
TO JUDGE BEALL RIGHT AWAY.

SCARLETT'S PHONE TRACED
TO THE EAST SIDE

OF THE BUILDING.

HOTEL MANAGER SAID THAT A GUY
MATCHING KNOX'S DESCRIPTION

CHECKED INTO ROOM 4-F
THIS MORNING.
CASTLE, YOU'RE STAYING HERE.

NO, I'M NOT.

OKAY, BUT STAY BEHIND ME.

(Scarlett) STOP! NO!

(gunshots)

(Beckett) POLICE!

OVER THERE. IT'S KNOX.

SCARLETT.

HEY. HEY.

HEY, IT'S OKAY.

I KILLED HIM.

IT'S OKAY. YOU'RE OKAY.

I KILLED KNOX.

HE HEARD A NOISE OUTSIDE,
AND WH--

AND WHEN HE TURNED TO LOOK,
I GRABBED HIS GUN.

HE TOLD ME TO GIVE IT BACK.
HE CAME AFTER ME.

I TOLD HIM TO STOP,
BUT HE WOULDN'T.

WHY WOULDN'T HE STOP?

WHY WOULDN'T HE STOP?

YOU THINK SHE'LL BE OKAY?

WELL,
GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES,

I DON'T THINK THE D.A.
WILL PRESS CHARGES.

NO, I MEAN, DO YOU THINK
SHE'LL BE OKAY?

I DON'T KNOW.

GIRLS IN THE SEX INDUSTRY

USUALLY COME FROM A HISTORY
OF CHILDHOOD DYSFUNCTION.

IT'S HARD TO ESCAPE THAT.

BUT IT'S POSSIBLE, RIGHT?

YEAH.

(man) HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!

CASTLE, LITTLE HELP?

OH, YEAH. JULIAN, IT'S FINE.
HE'S WITH ME.

YOU ARE
OUTTA CONTROL, MAN.

I GOT GOOD NEWS. I FINALLY
FOUND A LOCKSMITH SCHOOL

THAT'S WILLING TO ADMIT ME.
REALLY?

YEAH. ALL I NEED IS A LETTER OF
RECOMMENDATION FROM THE POLICE,

AND I AM IN.
WILL YOU WRITE IT FOR ME?
NO!

WHAT?
COME ON. HAVE A HEART.

HE'S A CRIMINAL.
IF I WRITE HIM A LETTER,

I'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIM. I
CANNOT WATCH YOU 24 HOURS A DAY.
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT'D YOU SAY?

I WOULD BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR HIM.

NO, NO, NO.
YOU CAN'T WATCH HIM...

WHEN DID YOU PUT
THE SURVEILLANCE CAR ON KNOX?

RIGHT AFTER WE LEFT THE BAR.
AND THEY FOLLOWED HIM
ALL NIGHT?

YEAH. HE GOT HOME
AROUND 2:00 A.M.
THEN HOW COULD HE
HAVE BEATEN UP SCARLETT?

YOU GUYS DO KNOW
THAT THE DEADBOLT

WASN'T SET ON THIS LOCK WHEN
YOU GUYS KICKED IT IN, RIGHT?
WHAT?

SEE? IF IT WOULD'VE BEEN,

THIS WHOLE FRAME
WOULD'VE BEEN DESTROYED.

LOCKING THE DOOR--
THAT'S HOSTAGE TAKING 101.

UNLESS SCARLETT
WASN'T A HOSTAGE.

SHE WAS IN ON IT
FROM THE START.
BUCKLEY DIDN'T
SET HER UP IN HIS OFFICE

OUT OF THE GOODNESS
OF HIS HEART.

HE NEEDED SOMEBODY WORKING THERE
TO MAN THE CALL GIRL BUSINESS.

NOT REALIZING THAT HE WAS
GIVING SCARLETT FULL ACCESS

TO EVERY FACET
OF HIS ORGANIZATION.
KNOX DIDN'T STEAL
THE CLIENT LIST.

SCARLETT GAVE IT TO HIM
SO THAT THE TWO OF THEM

COULD GO
INTO BUSINESS TOGETHER.
AND WHEN BUCKLEY WOULDN'T
WALK AWAY, KNOX KILLED HIM,

NEVER THINKING WE'D FIND OUT
ABOUT THE CALL GIRL RING.
AND THEN WHEN WE DID,
SCARLETT REALIZED

THAT THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE
HERSELF WAS BY GIVING UP KNOX

BY PLAYING THE ULTIMATE VICTIM,
MAKING YOU BELIEVE THAT KNOX

BEAT HER UP SO WE'D THINK SHE
KILLED HIM OUT OF SELF-DEFENSE.
AND I FELL FOR IT.

WE ALL DID.
I DIDN'T.

(cell phone rings and beeps)

HI. HOW CAN I
MAKE YOU HAPPY TODAY?

YES, CANDY IS
ABSOLUTELY AVAILABLE.
(clicks keyboard keys)

HOW WOULD YOU
LIKE HER TO LOOK?

GIRL NEXT DOOR
SOUNDS PERFECT.

CAN YOU CONFIRM
YOUR CLIENT CODE?

AND YOUR CARD INFORMATION
IS THE SAME?

GREAT.
CANDY WILL SEE YOU AT 7:00.

(beep)

(ring)

(ring)

(beep)

HI. HOW CAN I
MAKE YOU HAPPY TODAY?

(Castle) Yes, I'm looking
for a girl.

WELL, YOU'VE CERTAINLY COME
TO THE RIGHT PLACE.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE HER?

She came to New York
in an ancient blue Beetle,

the floor so rusted, it
literally sagged in the middle.

CASTLE. HOW DID YOU
GET THIS NUMBER?

I have a friend
in the publishing business.

I'M SORRY
IF I DISAPPOINTED YOU.

I-I JUST NEEDED TO TAKE
A FEW MORE JOBS

TO SET MYSELF UP.

You never stop manipulating,
do you, Scarlett?

I should be impressed, really,

how easily you played me,

but all I can think about
is how sad it is...

all that brains and beauty
wasted on a heart gone rotten.

You're so busy building up walls
to keep people out,

YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE THAT
YOU'RE THE ONE TRAPPED INSIDE...

ALL ALONE.

WILL YOU STAND UP, PLEASE?

(handcuffs click)

(Ryan) YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.

ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL
BE USED AGAINST YOU...

THANKS.

FOR WHAT?

FOR NOT SAYING
I TOLD YOU SO.

OH, THAT STARTS TOMORROW.

♪♪

(sighs)

(mouths word)

♪♪

(man) ♪ EVERY DAY ♪

OH! (groans)
WHAT WAS THAT FOR?

FOR BEING
THE BEST DAD EVER.

IT'S TRUE, YOU KNOW. I HAVE
THE NOVELTY MUG TO PROVE IT.

MM. THANKS FOR TRUSTING ME,

FOR NOT PUSHING WHEN YOU KNEW
I WAS WORKING SOMETHING OUT.

WELL... I KNEW WHEN YOU
WERE READY, YOU WOULD TELL ME.

SO HERE IT IS...

♪ ...JUST NEXT TO ME ♪

MY SCHOOL IS STARTING
A FOREIGN EXCHANGE PROGRAM

TO FRANCE.

FRANCE?
YEAH.

YOU WEREN'T KICKED OUT
OF SCHOOL?
NO.

(exhales)
NO, THE PROGRAM LASTS
THREE WEEKS,

AND SO I'D MISS YOUR BIRTHDAY.
AND I KNEW THAT BECKETT

HAD SPENT A SEMESTER ABROAD
IN COLLEGE,

AND I WANTED TO ASK HER IF
THE EXPERIENCE WAS WORTH IT.
AND WHAT'D SHE SAY?

SHE SAID THAT I'D BE GOING OFF
TO COLLEGE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS,

AND THAT EVERYTHING
WAS GONNA CHANGE,

AND MAYBE IT'D BE GOOD IF WE GOT
A TASTE OF THAT CHANGE NOW.

WELL...

SHE'S A SMART WOMAN.

YEAH, SHE IS.

BUT I DECIDED
NOT TO GO ANYWAY.

BECAUSE TWO YEARS
WILL BE HERE SOON ENOUGH,

AND I ALREADY GOT YOU
YOUR PRESENT,

AND I WANT TO WATCH YOU
OPEN IT. (chuckles)

MM. I SAY WE CELEBRATE
WITH ICE CREAM.

WE'D BE FOOLS NOT TO.
SERVE ME.

(laughs)
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?

DUH. CHOCOLATE.

OH, AND WHILE WE'RE EATING,
WE CAN TALK ABOUT COLLEGES.

I PICKED UP
A COUPLE OF BROCHURES

AT THE GUIDANCE OFFICE,

AND YOU KNOW WHAT LOOKS
REALLY COOL?
WHAT?

OXFORD.

OXFORD?

YOU KNOW--YOU KNOW
THAT'S IN ENGLAND, RIGHT?

YEAH.
