1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:00,245
Fool Me Once
2
00:00:00,258 --> 00:00:01,237
There are two kinds of folks
3
00:00:01,264 --> 00:00:02,864
who sit around thinking
about how to kill people:
4
00:00:03,198 --> 00:00:04,924
psychopaths
and mystery writers.
5
00:00:05,262 --> 00:00:06,284
I'm the kind that pays better.
6
00:00:06,385 --> 00:00:07,085
Who am I?
7
00:00:07,174 --> 00:00:08,313
I'm Rick Castle.
8
00:00:08,314 --> 00:00:08,714
Castle.
9
00:00:08,748 --> 00:00:09,408
Castle.
10
00:00:09,409 --> 00:00:11,409
I really am ruggedly handsome,
aren't I?
11
00:00:11,655 --> 00:00:13,845
Every writer needs inspiration.
And I found mine.
12
00:00:13,955 --> 00:00:14,774
Detective Kate Beckett.
13
00:00:14,809 --> 00:00:15,829
- Beckett.
- Beckett.
14
00:00:15,864 --> 00:00:17,770
- Nikki Heat?
- The character he's basing on you.
15
00:00:17,816 --> 00:00:19,402
And thanks to my friendship
with the mayor,
16
00:00:19,403 --> 00:00:20,703
I get to be on her case.
17
00:00:20,737 --> 00:00:22,480
I would be happy
to let you spank me.
18
00:00:22,415 --> 00:00:23,591
And together, we catch killers
19
00:00:24,139 --> 00:00:25,827
We make a pretty
good team, you know?
20
00:00:25,828 --> 00:00:26,628
Like Starsky and Hutch.
21
00:00:26,962 --> 00:00:27,656
Turner and Hooch.
22
00:00:27,757 --> 00:00:29,257
You do remind me
a little of Hooch.
23
00:00:30,258 --> 00:00:32,258
# oh, oh #
24
00:00:36,659 --> 00:00:39,059
Everybody, settle down.
Quiet down, please.
25
00:00:39,260 --> 00:00:40,760
Come to the front.
You know your assigned seats.
26
00:00:42,862 --> 00:00:43,462
Careful.
27
00:00:45,663 --> 00:00:46,463
Take your seats.
28
00:00:46,664 --> 00:00:47,364
Now listen,
29
00:00:47,665 --> 00:00:50,365
if you remember, the last time
we spoke with Fletcher,
30
00:00:50,866 --> 00:00:52,466
he had just entered
the polar ice cap.
31
00:00:52,667 --> 00:00:54,167
from Greenland, right here,
32
00:00:54,168 --> 00:00:55,568
headed toward the North Pole.
33
00:00:55,869 --> 00:00:56,569
Remember?
34
00:00:56,870 --> 00:00:59,170
Now he was supposed to ski
about 10 miles a day,
35
00:00:59,771 --> 00:01:03,871
which would have put him
right about here.
36
00:01:05,773 --> 00:01:08,473
Oh, good. Right on time.
Now listen, everyone.
37
00:01:08,474 --> 00:01:11,674
Remember,
Fletcher can't hear us, right?
38
00:01:12,175 --> 00:01:13,475
So no yelling out questions,
39
00:01:14,076 --> 00:01:15,176
especially you, Kahlil.
40
00:01:17,077 --> 00:01:18,077
Hey, kids.
41
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:21,078
Hi, Mr. Fletcher.
42
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:23,679
I don't know if you can tell,
but a blizzard just blew in
43
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,180
about an hour ago.
44
00:01:25,181 --> 00:01:27,481
And let me tell you,
it wasn't easy setting up camp
45
00:01:27,482 --> 00:01:29,382
in 50-mile-an-hour winds.
46
00:01:29,383 --> 00:01:30,383
ooh.
- good thing I was able to buy
47
00:01:30,384 --> 00:01:31,584
such a strong tent
48
00:01:31,685 --> 00:01:33,085
with all the, uh, money--
49
00:01:33,286 --> 00:01:34,386
money you raised.
50
00:01:35,687 --> 00:01:37,087
Must be a polar bear out there
51
00:01:37,088 --> 00:01:39,088
looking for a little bit
of trouble, huh?
52
00:01:39,289 --> 00:01:42,789
Anyway, I want to tell you
about this herd of Caribou
53
00:01:42,790 --> 00:01:45,290
I saw yesterday
while I was out skiing.
54
00:01:45,291 --> 00:01:47,991
There were 12 of 'em,
including 4 calves
55
00:01:47,992 --> 00:01:50,592
who had just started to grow
the velvet on their horns.
56
00:01:50,593 --> 00:01:51,993
Oh, talk about cute.
57
00:01:52,194 --> 00:01:53,594
So there I am,
58
00:01:53,995 --> 00:01:56,095
and I'm trying to pull out
my camera when all--
59
00:01:57,196 --> 00:01:58,196
Wait, what are you...
60
00:01:58,397 --> 00:02:00,097
No, No, No, don't.
Don't! Don't! Aah!
61
00:02:16,401 --> 00:02:18,801
Hi, I'm Dylan.
I'm here for Alexis.
62
00:02:20,402 --> 00:02:22,002
I'm her new violin teacher.
63
00:02:22,003 --> 00:02:23,903
Dylan, Hi.
Thanks for coming.
64
00:02:26,204 --> 00:02:26,904
Dad, let him in.
65
00:02:27,905 --> 00:02:28,705
Yeah.
66
00:02:34,307 --> 00:02:35,407
What happened to Olga?
67
00:02:35,908 --> 00:02:36,508
She retired.
68
00:02:36,709 --> 00:02:37,709
So you went male model?
69
00:02:37,910 --> 00:02:39,910
Dylan goes to Julliard.
He's a musical prodigy.
70
00:02:40,211 --> 00:02:42,011
I was lucky to get
a lesson with him.
71
00:02:42,112 --> 00:02:44,912
Prodigies are supposed to be
all nerdy and awkward,
72
00:02:44,913 --> 00:02:46,113
not... that.
73
00:02:46,914 --> 00:02:50,414
Well, hello there.
I'm Martha.
74
00:02:50,315 --> 00:02:51,315
Hi. Dylan.
75
00:02:51,416 --> 00:02:54,716
Dylan. Oh, Alexis tells me
you're very talented.
76
00:02:54,717 --> 00:02:55,717
and,
77
00:02:55,718 --> 00:02:56,718
very strong, I might add.
78
00:02:57,019 --> 00:02:57,919
- uh, gram.
ooh. Quite a grip.
79
00:03:00,021 --> 00:03:02,521
Uh, why don't we get started?
I can assess where you are,
80
00:03:02,522 --> 00:03:04,322
and then tomorrow we can
start your lessons. Does that
81
00:03:04,523 --> 00:03:05,223
sound good.
82
00:03:05,224 --> 00:03:06,324
Yeah, my room's upstairs.
83
00:03:06,925 --> 00:03:07,725
Lead the way.
84
00:03:08,026 --> 00:03:10,726
Uh, wh-why don't you
do it down here?
85
00:03:10,927 --> 00:03:12,227
You know how I love
watching you play.
86
00:03:13,028 --> 00:03:13,928
Nonsense.
87
00:03:14,629 --> 00:03:16,429
She needs privacy,
not a performance.
88
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:19,330
Spoken with
true artistic insight.
89
00:03:19,331 --> 00:03:20,231
Well, thank you.
90
00:03:20,232 --> 00:03:22,932
I'm an actor,
so it stands to reason.
91
00:03:24,033 --> 00:03:24,733
Well...
92
00:03:24,734 --> 00:03:25,534
So how have you been?
93
00:03:25,535 --> 00:03:26,735
He's a charming
you man.
94
00:03:27,436 --> 00:03:28,336
Well, I'm off.
95
00:03:29,137 --> 00:03:30,237
See you later, darling.
96
00:03:32,138 --> 00:03:32,838
I liked Olga.
97
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Castle.
98
00:03:39,641 --> 00:03:40,541
Hey, Mike.
99
00:03:40,542 --> 00:03:41,342
Where's the body?
100
00:03:42,543 --> 00:03:43,243
You didn't tell him?
101
00:03:43,244 --> 00:03:44,044
Tell me what?
102
00:03:44,145 --> 00:03:45,045
And ruin the surprise?
103
00:03:45,546 --> 00:03:46,346
What surprise?
104
00:03:48,648 --> 00:03:49,548
Hey, kids.
105
00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:53,149
I don't know if you can tell,
but a blizzard just blew in
106
00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:54,350
about an hour ago...
107
00:03:54,551 --> 00:03:56,451
Do we have jurisdiction
in the North Pole?
108
00:03:56,552 --> 00:03:57,252
Wait for it.
109
00:03:57,253 --> 00:03:59,253
...50-mile-an-hour winds,
good thing that--
110
00:03:59,854 --> 00:04:02,754
...of Caribou I saw yesterday
while I was out skiing.
111
00:04:02,755 --> 00:04:03,955
Okay.
there comes the guy.
112
00:04:03,956 --> 00:04:05,256
there were 12 of 'em
including 4 calves...
113
00:04:06,257 --> 00:04:06,757
Whoa.
- who had just started to grow
114
00:04:06,758 --> 00:04:07,958
- the velvet on their horns.
- We see the gun.
115
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:09,759
I'm trying to pull out
my camera when all--
116
00:04:10,860 --> 00:04:12,060
Wait, what are you...
117
00:04:12,161 --> 00:04:13,761
No, No, No, don't.
Don't! Don't!
118
00:04:14,763 --> 00:04:17,563
That was awesome! I mean, well,
obviously it was horrible, but--
119
00:04:18,064 --> 00:04:19,064
That's not the Arctic.
120
00:04:19,465 --> 00:04:20,765
That's an apartment.
But where?
121
00:04:21,266 --> 00:04:22,166
Ryan, rewind it.
122
00:04:22,167 --> 00:04:24,067
I thought I saw something
when the camera was falling.
123
00:04:25,968 --> 00:04:27,168
Stop. Right there.
124
00:04:27,269 --> 00:04:28,369
Out the window
in the background.
125
00:04:31,770 --> 00:04:33,770
That's classic
upper West Side architecture
126
00:04:34,071 --> 00:04:35,571
Take a picture of it.
Send it to the precinct.
127
00:04:35,572 --> 00:04:37,472
See if any of the beat cops
recognize it.
128
00:04:37,473 --> 00:04:38,273
On it.
129
00:04:42,774 --> 00:04:44,874
Mr. Wheeler,
I'm Detective Kate Beckett.
130
00:04:44,875 --> 00:04:45,875
This is Rick Castle.
131
00:04:46,576 --> 00:04:47,576
I just don't understand.
132
00:04:47,577 --> 00:04:48,877
Everything seemed
on the up and up.
133
00:04:49,278 --> 00:04:50,478
He had Yale, PhD.
134
00:04:51,379 --> 00:04:53,179
When was the first time
that you met Mr. Fletcher?
135
00:04:53,580 --> 00:04:55,280
A few months ago.
He came into the school
136
00:04:55,281 --> 00:04:56,981
and made a presentation
to the school board--
137
00:04:57,382 --> 00:04:59,682
A month-long, one-man trip
to the North Pole.
138
00:04:59,783 --> 00:05:01,283
We agreed to help fund
the expedition.
139
00:05:01,284 --> 00:05:03,584
in exchange, Fletcher said
he would give
140
00:05:03,585 --> 00:05:05,585
a unique educational experience
for the kids,
141
00:05:05,586 --> 00:05:08,686
including weekly video reports
from the Arctic Circle.
142
00:05:08,687 --> 00:05:09,787
How much did you raise?
143
00:05:09,788 --> 00:05:12,088
Between our school and others
in the area, around $50,000.
144
00:05:12,089 --> 00:05:12,489
hmm.
145
00:05:12,490 --> 00:05:14,490
Wow.
That's a lot of pemmican.
146
00:05:15,591 --> 00:05:18,691
A basic staple of the, uh,
polar explorer diet.
147
00:05:18,692 --> 00:05:20,692
High in fat and protein--
Basically, it's beef and grease
148
00:05:20,693 --> 00:05:21,993
kind of melted together
into a jerky.
149
00:05:22,094 --> 00:05:23,894
You think it'd be disgusting,
but surprisingly...
150
00:05:25,395 --> 00:05:26,495
I'll fill you in later.
151
00:05:26,896 --> 00:05:28,596
When was the last time
you saw Mr. Fletcher?
152
00:05:28,897 --> 00:05:30,397
He came by the school
two weeks age to pick up
153
00:05:30,398 --> 00:05:32,298
a stack of letters the kids
wrote to him for his trip.
154
00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:34,999
He was supposed to get on the
plant to Greenland the next day.
155
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:37,400
We got an I.D. on the building.
156
00:05:37,401 --> 00:05:38,201
79th and Amsterdam.
157
00:05:38,202 --> 00:05:40,102
All right, tell Lanie
that we'll meet her there.
158
00:05:44,405 --> 00:05:46,205
Uniforms said the door
was unlocked when they got here.
159
00:05:46,606 --> 00:05:48,006
Either the victim left it
that way or, uh--
160
00:05:48,107 --> 00:05:49,507
or the killer had a key.
161
00:05:49,508 --> 00:05:50,108
mm-hmm.
162
00:05:50,309 --> 00:05:51,309
All right, talk to
the neighbors.
163
00:05:51,410 --> 00:05:52,810
See if Fletcher had
any regular visitors.
164
00:05:53,111 --> 00:05:56,011
But first, I'm thinking our vic
might have been a squirrel.
165
00:05:56,012 --> 00:05:57,312
Mm. I'll check the bedroom.
166
00:05:58,313 --> 00:05:59,513
I'm sorry, a squirrel?
167
00:05:59,514 --> 00:06:01,314
Likes to hide his nuts
for the winter.
168
00:06:02,715 --> 00:06:03,915
And by "nuts" you mean.
169
00:06:04,316 --> 00:06:05,216
- Valuables.
- Ah.
170
00:06:05,517 --> 00:06:07,517
Secrets, anything s guy
living a lie
171
00:06:07,518 --> 00:06:08,818
wouldn't want someone
to find.
172
00:06:10,219 --> 00:06:13,319
Oh, yeah.
173
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:20,420
This reminds me of that movie
"Capricorn One,"
174
00:06:20,421 --> 00:06:21,921
But with, like,
a winter-land twist.
175
00:06:22,122 --> 00:06:22,722
Yeah.
176
00:06:25,222 --> 00:06:26,222
Lanie, what do we got?
177
00:06:26,523 --> 00:06:29,423
Victim was shot in the face
with a large caliber bullet.
178
00:06:30,024 --> 00:06:31,724
- Ouch.
- Oh, I don't think he felt
179
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:33,125
much with a bullet that size.
180
00:06:33,726 --> 00:06:36,526
Face shots usually indicate
a deep anger in the shooter.
181
00:06:36,627 --> 00:06:38,827
Literally trying to erase
what makes the victim a Peron.
182
00:06:39,128 --> 00:06:41,428
Well, con men do leave
a wake of angry people.
183
00:06:42,229 --> 00:06:43,629
It's amazing
that this is all it took
184
00:06:43,630 --> 00:06:44,930
to fake two weeks
in the Arctic.
185
00:06:45,031 --> 00:06:47,731
Mm-hmm. The wonders
of modern technology.
186
00:06:48,232 --> 00:06:49,732
A lot of criminal today
don't take advantage,
187
00:06:50,133 --> 00:06:50,833
I blame the parents.
188
00:06:52,434 --> 00:06:56,034
I'll give this to Fletcher--
He did do his homework.
189
00:06:57,435 --> 00:07:00,035
Oh! This is a library book.
190
00:07:00,336 --> 00:07:02,036
Something tells me he wasn't
planning on returning it.
191
00:07:05,037 --> 00:07:05,937
You were right.
192
00:07:05,938 --> 00:07:07,838
Look what our little squirrel
was hiding in the air vent.
193
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:13,139
Something tells me
our Steven Fletcher
194
00:07:13,140 --> 00:07:14,340
wasn't actually
Steven Fletcher.
195
00:07:14,541 --> 00:07:15,041
Hmm.
196
00:07:15,042 --> 00:07:17,642
Multiple I. D.s
usually indicates multiple cons.
197
00:07:17,643 --> 00:07:20,143
I'd say our killer is someone
who Fletcher duped.
198
00:07:20,944 --> 00:07:22,644
From the height of
the bullet hole in the tent,
199
00:07:22,645 --> 00:07:25,645
I'd say our shooter was anywhere
between 5'3" and 6'.
200
00:07:25,646 --> 00:07:26,146
Mm-hmm.
201
00:07:26,247 --> 00:07:27,747
I guess that rules out
the first graders.
202
00:07:27,848 --> 00:07:30,148
Unless one was standing
on another one's shoulders.
203
00:07:30,249 --> 00:07:31,749
Hiding inside
of a trench coat, maybe.
204
00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:33,450
Diabolical. I like it.
205
00:07:33,451 --> 00:07:34,351
Thank you.
206
00:07:34,352 --> 00:07:35,752
Lanie, I'm gonna need a rush
on the fingerprints.
207
00:07:35,753 --> 00:07:37,453
We're gonna need to know
who our victim really was.
208
00:07:37,454 --> 00:07:38,254
Okay.
209
00:07:38,255 --> 00:07:39,855
Let's bag all of this,
get it back to the station.
210
00:07:39,956 --> 00:07:41,056
- Right on.
- Um-hmm.
211
00:07:42,957 --> 00:07:43,857
Just like cap, huh?
212
00:07:44,658 --> 00:07:45,658
If I climbed
in a tent,
213
00:07:47,659 --> 00:07:49,259
Couple of U.S. passports.
214
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,260
Hmm.
215
00:07:50,461 --> 00:07:52,261
- See ya.
- Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh.
216
00:07:52,262 --> 00:07:53,462
Oh, thank you.
217
00:07:53,563 --> 00:07:54,563
So have you read it?
218
00:07:55,664 --> 00:07:56,264
Read what?
219
00:07:56,365 --> 00:07:57,065
The book.
220
00:07:57,466 --> 00:07:58,266
What book?
221
00:07:58,967 --> 00:08:02,067
Oh, your book.
"Heat Wave."
222
00:08:06,268 --> 00:08:07,068
Well?
223
00:08:07,269 --> 00:08:08,669
I haven't gotten to it yet.
224
00:08:09,770 --> 00:08:11,070
What do you mean,
you haven't gotten to it yet?
225
00:08:11,371 --> 00:08:12,971
I'm sorry. I've just been
so busy with work.
226
00:08:12,972 --> 00:08:13,872
I haven't had time.
227
00:08:14,173 --> 00:08:16,273
You were all over me to get
a copy of that book,
228
00:08:16,574 --> 00:08:18,474
Do you have any idea how many
hoops I had to jump through
229
00:08:18,475 --> 00:08:20,275
just so my editor
wouldn't send an armed guard
230
00:08:20,276 --> 00:08:22,076
to watch over you
while you read it?
231
00:08:22,377 --> 00:08:23,577
The least you could do
is to...
232
00:08:25,878 --> 00:08:29,078
Oh. Oh.
I see what you're doing.
233
00:08:29,279 --> 00:08:30,079
I'm not doing anything.
234
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,380
Oh, yes, you are.
Yes, you are.
235
00:08:32,381 --> 00:08:33,581
You're trying to push
my buttons,
236
00:08:33,582 --> 00:08:34,582
but it's not gonna work.
237
00:08:34,583 --> 00:08:35,483
Really?
238
00:08:35,484 --> 00:08:36,484
mm-hmm.
239
00:08:36,485 --> 00:08:38,485
'Cause it seems to be working
just great.
240
00:08:40,386 --> 00:08:42,086
Now if you'll excuse me,
I have to input these I. D.s
241
00:08:42,187 --> 00:08:44,787
into Vi-CAP to see if any of
Fletcher's other identities
242
00:08:44,788 --> 00:08:45,588
have been flagged.
243
00:08:45,689 --> 00:08:47,489
Where do you want all this stuff
from Fletcher's apartment?
244
00:08:47,490 --> 00:08:48,290
Right here.
245
00:08:48,391 --> 00:08:49,491
How come you have to
carry everything?
246
00:08:51,492 --> 00:08:52,392
Ryan hurt his back.
247
00:08:54,193 --> 00:08:56,693
We checked with
all of Fletcher's neighbors.
248
00:08:57,094 --> 00:08:59,094
None of 'em could remember
seeing anyone but Fletcher
249
00:08:59,095 --> 00:09:00,795
coming or going
from the apartment. Ah.
250
00:09:01,196 --> 00:09:03,096
And we called Yale.
Turns out Steven Fletcher
251
00:09:03,097 --> 00:09:05,797
Does have a PhD
in Wildlife Biology, only--
252
00:09:05,898 --> 00:09:08,798
Only their Steven Fletcher
is a 7-foot-tall Albino.
253
00:09:09,099 --> 00:09:10,999
No. 300-pound Hawaiian,
but close.
254
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:12,300
You know what I don't get?
255
00:09:12,301 --> 00:09:12,601
Mm-hmm.
256
00:09:12,602 --> 00:09:15,102
Why go to so much trouble to
create such an elaborate scam?
257
00:09:15,303 --> 00:09:16,503
Fletcher
must have spent weeks
258
00:09:16,504 --> 00:09:17,604
going through
all the prep work.
259
00:09:17,905 --> 00:09:19,705
I can give you
50,000 reasons why.
260
00:09:20,006 --> 00:09:22,006
Yeah, but for con men,
it's not just about the money.
261
00:09:22,407 --> 00:09:24,707
I mean, for them,
it's about the game.
262
00:09:25,408 --> 00:09:27,908
The-the thrill they get
from pulling a con?
263
00:09:27,909 --> 00:09:28,909
It's like a drug high.
264
00:09:28,910 --> 00:09:30,310
Con man was on drugs?
265
00:09:30,711 --> 00:09:33,011
No, sir. Castle was just
giving us psychological insight
266
00:09:33,012 --> 00:09:34,912
based on his extensive
experience as a fraud.
267
00:09:35,913 --> 00:09:36,613
Meow.
268
00:09:36,614 --> 00:09:37,714
Well, I just fielded
several phone calls
269
00:09:37,715 --> 00:09:39,515
from some very embarrassed
private schools,
270
00:09:39,516 --> 00:09:41,416
and they want this solved
quickly and quietly.
271
00:09:41,417 --> 00:09:43,317
Unfortunately,
it looks like our con man
272
00:09:43,318 --> 00:09:45,018
was running a whole
slew of cons.
273
00:09:45,019 --> 00:09:46,919
unraveling all of them
and finding the killer
274
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,920
is gonna take some time.
275
00:09:49,522 --> 00:09:50,522
or maybe not.
276
00:09:52,024 --> 00:09:54,724
One of Fletcher's aliases conned
a woman named Patty Schultz
277
00:09:54,725 --> 00:09:56,725
out of her life savings
about a year ago.
278
00:09:56,726 --> 00:09:58,426
Sounds like a motive
for murder to me.
279
00:09:58,827 --> 00:10:01,127
Apparently Ms. Schultz
has spent several stints
280
00:10:01,128 --> 00:10:03,828
in Greystone Park
Psychiatric Hospital,
281
00:10:04,229 --> 00:10:06,329
and none of them voluntary.
282
00:10:08,330 --> 00:10:09,530
Straightjacket.
283
00:10:09,531 --> 00:10:17,531
# Castle 2x04 #
Fool Me Once
Original Air Date on October 12, 2009
284
00:10:18,832 --> 00:10:20,332
Ms. Schultz
I'm, Detective Beckett.
285
00:10:20,333 --> 00:10:23,033
Is this about Sanchez? 'Cause,
you know, I only hit him
286
00:10:23,034 --> 00:10:24,934
because he was drilling holes
in the wall
287
00:10:24,935 --> 00:10:26,335
to watch me exercise.
288
00:10:26,336 --> 00:10:29,336
This isn't about Sanchez.
This is about him.
289
00:10:30,137 --> 00:10:33,337
Steven Fletcher--
also known as Steven Miles.
290
00:10:34,238 --> 00:10:35,438
Are you arresting me?
291
00:10:36,139 --> 00:10:37,739
Why would we arrest you?
292
00:10:37,740 --> 00:10:39,240
Because I killed him.
293
00:10:40,241 --> 00:10:43,141
Um, Mrs. Schultz,
you've just confessed to a crime.
294
00:10:43,142 --> 00:10:44,442
- I'm gonna read you your--
- in my mind
295
00:10:46,043 --> 00:10:47,143
Did you just say
296
00:10:47,244 --> 00:10:48,744
you killed him
in your mind?
297
00:10:48,745 --> 00:10:51,945
I meditate--
an hour every day.
298
00:10:51,946 --> 00:10:54,646
It--Doctor's orders. And
299
00:10:54,647 --> 00:10:56,547
all I think about
are my cats...
300
00:10:57,948 --> 00:11:00,048
and killing
this son of a bitch.
301
00:11:00,649 --> 00:11:02,149
And it finally worked,
didn't it?
302
00:11:03,050 --> 00:11:03,850
Well, I'm not sure.
303
00:11:04,251 --> 00:11:05,951
How did you kill him
in your mind?
304
00:11:06,152 --> 00:11:07,552
With a belt sander.
305
00:11:08,553 --> 00:11:10,453
Where were you at 9:00 A.M.
this morning?
306
00:11:10,454 --> 00:11:11,354
At the Vet.
307
00:11:11,755 --> 00:11:13,955
Mr. Muffins has
high cholesterol, so--
308
00:11:14,056 --> 00:11:15,456
Okay. Thank you.
We're done.
309
00:11:15,457 --> 00:11:17,357
How did--How did
Mr. Fletcher con you?
310
00:11:17,858 --> 00:11:19,458
He said he was
a Cryogenist
311
00:11:19,459 --> 00:11:21,759
and that he would freeze me
and my cats
312
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,160
so we could
be resurrected
313
00:11:23,261 --> 00:11:25,661
once science had conquered
the death barrier.
314
00:11:26,362 --> 00:11:27,162
And you believed him?
315
00:11:27,463 --> 00:11:28,963
Have you ever been duped?
316
00:11:29,264 --> 00:11:30,464
I've been married twice.
317
00:11:30,865 --> 00:11:32,865
You think I got suckered
because I'm crazy.
318
00:11:33,666 --> 00:11:34,566
Well, you're wrong.
319
00:11:34,867 --> 00:11:37,967
I have paranoid
personality disorder,
320
00:11:37,968 --> 00:11:39,968
which makes me the
most suspicious person
321
00:11:39,969 --> 00:11:40,869
you've ever met.
322
00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:43,470
And Steven just
made me feel safe
323
00:11:43,471 --> 00:11:44,971
for the first time in years.
324
00:11:45,472 --> 00:11:49,172
And then he vanished
with $60,000 of my money.
325
00:11:51,873 --> 00:11:54,073
That man could sell sand
to a camel.
326
00:11:55,374 --> 00:11:56,174
Thank you...
327
00:11:57,475 --> 00:11:58,075
for coming.
328
00:12:01,876 --> 00:12:03,376
Can I see his body?
329
00:12:06,077 --> 00:12:06,877
Uh...
330
00:12:08,278 --> 00:12:08,878
No.
331
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,480
You know, I can't help
but be a little impressed
332
00:12:14,481 --> 00:12:15,481
with our boy Fletcher.
333
00:12:15,782 --> 00:12:16,782
Please tell me
you're kidding.
334
00:12:16,783 --> 00:12:18,283
Not on a personal level.
335
00:12:18,284 --> 00:12:20,084
Just more of
a professional one.
336
00:12:20,085 --> 00:12:21,285
I mean, one storyteller
to another.
337
00:12:21,686 --> 00:12:22,586
The guy's a master.
338
00:12:22,587 --> 00:12:23,487
He's a leech.
339
00:12:23,488 --> 00:12:26,488
He preys on innocent victims
and ruins their lives.
340
00:12:26,489 --> 00:12:28,589
Well, it looks our leech has
jumped up to the major leagues.
341
00:12:28,590 --> 00:12:29,390
What do you mean?
342
00:12:29,391 --> 00:12:32,091
One of Fletcher's identities was
recently engaged to be married.
343
00:12:32,092 --> 00:12:33,192
To Elise Finnegan.
344
00:12:33,293 --> 00:12:34,793
Wait. Finnegan.
Where do I known that name?
345
00:12:35,094 --> 00:12:36,994
Her family owns
half of Park Avenue South.
346
00:12:37,195 --> 00:12:39,595
Our lovely bride-to-be is worth
a cool 100 million bucks.
347
00:12:40,097 --> 00:12:41,897
Ooh.
Now I'm really impressed.
348
00:12:42,498 --> 00:12:44,298
He wasn't a con man.
349
00:12:44,299 --> 00:12:45,699
I'm afraid he was, Elise.
350
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:47,200
We've already uncovered
two other scams,
351
00:12:47,201 --> 00:12:48,501
and I'm certain
we'll find more.
352
00:12:48,802 --> 00:12:51,202
No. No.
I don't believe you.
353
00:12:51,403 --> 00:12:52,003
Elise--
354
00:12:52,004 --> 00:12:53,004
It's okay, Sue.
355
00:12:53,205 --> 00:12:55,405
They were getting married
next weekend.
356
00:12:55,606 --> 00:12:57,206
Elise was so excited.
357
00:12:57,807 --> 00:12:59,207
How long
did she know Fletcher?
358
00:12:59,608 --> 00:13:00,408
Six month.
359
00:13:00,409 --> 00:13:01,809
That's quite
the whirlwind romance.
360
00:13:01,810 --> 00:13:03,910
It was love at first sight
for both of them.
361
00:13:03,911 --> 00:13:06,311
So there were no clues
that he was setting her up?
362
00:13:06,412 --> 00:13:08,812
Stories that didn't add up
or bills he couldn't pay?
363
00:13:08,813 --> 00:13:11,613
He insisted on, uh,
paying for the wedding
364
00:13:11,614 --> 00:13:14,414
even though the cost
was substantial.
365
00:13:14,915 --> 00:13:17,715
He seemed to live
to make her happy.
366
00:13:18,016 --> 00:13:21,016
That's because making her happy
was vital to his con.
367
00:13:21,017 --> 00:13:21,917
You're wrong.
368
00:13:22,918 --> 00:13:25,318
I have been rich
my whole life, Detective.
369
00:13:25,719 --> 00:13:28,019
So if there's one thing
I've learned, it's how to spot
370
00:13:28,020 --> 00:13:30,420
a man who's only interested
in me for my money.
371
00:13:31,221 --> 00:13:32,821
Steven wasn't like that. He...
372
00:13:34,322 --> 00:13:35,922
He love me
for me.
373
00:13:37,223 --> 00:13:39,023
I can't believe
how naive she's being.
374
00:13:39,124 --> 00:13:42,324
even with overwhelming evidence
that her fiance was a con man,
375
00:13:42,325 --> 00:13:43,925
she still believes
he loved her.
376
00:13:43,926 --> 00:13:45,426
People see
what they want to see.
377
00:13:45,527 --> 00:13:46,827
It's what con artists
prey on.
378
00:13:47,628 --> 00:13:48,828
It's really kind of
a psychopathy--
379
00:13:48,829 --> 00:13:51,629
to be so cold that you can
look someone in the eye,
380
00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:53,630
tell them that you love them
and then rob them blind
381
00:13:53,631 --> 00:13:55,131
without the
slightest remorse.
382
00:13:55,132 --> 00:13:57,932
Whoa. I just flashed back
to the eighth grade.
383
00:13:57,933 --> 00:14:00,733
Sherry Ort--broke my heart
stole my lunch money.
384
00:14:00,734 --> 00:14:01,734
Beckett.
385
00:14:01,735 --> 00:14:03,235
Then she laughed about it
with her friend.
386
00:14:03,836 --> 00:14:05,036
All right, thanks.
387
00:14:05,437 --> 00:14:06,037
Well?
388
00:14:06,138 --> 00:14:07,538
No match on
Fletcher's fingerprints.
389
00:14:08,239 --> 00:14:09,639
We still don't know
his real identity.
390
00:14:11,540 --> 00:14:12,240
What you got?
391
00:14:12,441 --> 00:14:14,541
Trying to find a clue to
the con that killed Fletcher,
392
00:14:14,542 --> 00:14:17,342
but it looks like our guy
was a criminal overachiever.
393
00:14:19,344 --> 00:14:19,844
What?
394
00:14:19,845 --> 00:14:21,945
Oh, you know those
Nigerian e-mail scams?
395
00:14:21,946 --> 00:14:23,446
Oh. Fletcher didn't pull
one of those?
396
00:14:23,447 --> 00:14:26,047
No. It looks like someone
tried to pull one on him.
397
00:14:26,048 --> 00:14:27,548
Fletcher conned the guy
out of 10 grand.
398
00:14:28,249 --> 00:14:29,549
Man, our boy
was good.
399
00:14:29,550 --> 00:14:30,350
Damn good.
400
00:14:30,351 --> 00:14:32,651
Don't be so impressed.
The guy was a criminal.
401
00:14:32,652 --> 00:14:35,452
Oh, no, there's something
about a-a well played con
402
00:14:35,453 --> 00:14:37,253
that just makes you want
to tip your hat, though.
403
00:14:37,254 --> 00:14:39,854
and they have such great names--
the Spanish prisoner,
404
00:14:39,855 --> 00:14:41,755
The pig in the poke,
the pigeon drop.
405
00:14:41,756 --> 00:14:43,056
Oh, I love
a good con movie--
406
00:14:43,057 --> 00:14:44,957
"House of Games",
"Catch Me if you Can."
407
00:14:44,958 --> 00:14:46,358
"Ocean's Eleven," baby.
408
00:14:46,359 --> 00:14:48,359
"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."
409
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,360
"Mother?"
410
00:14:50,161 --> 00:14:51,261
"Not Mother?"
411
00:14:52,763 --> 00:14:55,663
For my money, it starts
and it ends with "The Sting."
412
00:14:55,664 --> 00:14:56,464
Oh.
413
00:14:56,465 --> 00:14:58,065
How about you Beckett?
What's your favorite?
414
00:14:58,066 --> 00:14:58,966
I hate con movies.
415
00:14:59,067 --> 00:14:59,767
What?
416
00:14:59,768 --> 00:15:00,868
Really?
417
00:15:00,869 --> 00:15:04,069
How can you hate "The Sting"?
It, like, what, took 20 Oscars?
418
00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:04,970
Something like that.
419
00:15:05,171 --> 00:15:07,171
Because the only people
that get conned
420
00:15:07,172 --> 00:15:09,472
in a con movie
are the audience members.
421
00:15:09,673 --> 00:15:12,673
You can't invest in anything
because nothing is real.
422
00:15:12,674 --> 00:15:13,874
That's what makes it fun.
423
00:15:14,075 --> 00:15:15,875
Well, it wasn't fun
to these kids--
424
00:15:16,176 --> 00:15:18,676
The ones from Wheeler's class
who wrote to Fletcher?
425
00:15:19,377 --> 00:15:21,477
"Dear Mr. Fletcher,
when do Polar Bears sleep?"
426
00:15:21,978 --> 00:15:24,778
"Dear Mr. Fletcher, do Penguins
really wear tuxedos?"
427
00:15:25,079 --> 00:15:25,979
Penguins are South Pole.
428
00:15:26,180 --> 00:15:27,980
Hey, these are 6-year-old kids.
429
00:15:28,181 --> 00:15:29,381
And he scammed them.
430
00:15:29,782 --> 00:15:31,582
You guys still impress
by this dirt-bag?
431
00:15:31,583 --> 00:15:33,983
If you were just scamming
these kids,
432
00:15:34,584 --> 00:15:35,884
Why would you
write them back?
433
00:15:35,885 --> 00:15:37,185
'Cause it's all
a part of the con.
434
00:15:37,486 --> 00:15:39,186
Yeah...
I'm not sure.
435
00:15:39,187 --> 00:15:41,687
I mean, if you were just
a greedy monster,
436
00:15:41,688 --> 00:15:44,488
would you really bother
writing back to all of them?
437
00:15:44,489 --> 00:15:45,189
He's got a point.
438
00:15:45,190 --> 00:15:45,590
Yeah.
439
00:15:45,591 --> 00:15:46,791
Oh, now who's
the sucker?
440
00:15:49,592 --> 00:15:50,192
Sir.
441
00:15:51,093 --> 00:15:51,993
Sucker or no sucker,
442
00:15:52,194 --> 00:15:54,094
clearly there's more to
this guy than meets the eye.
443
00:15:55,995 --> 00:15:57,295
Busted.
444
00:15:59,096 --> 00:16:00,396
Shut up, Esposito.
445
00:16:00,797 --> 00:16:02,497
All right, I'm gonna
leave you guys to it.
446
00:16:03,698 --> 00:16:04,998
Where you going?
It's early.
447
00:16:05,099 --> 00:16:05,899
I got plans.
448
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,200
Oh, you have a date,
don't you?
449
00:16:08,201 --> 00:16:09,001
No.
450
00:16:09,002 --> 00:16:10,502
You liar.
Who's the unlucky guy?
451
00:16:10,503 --> 00:16:12,803
Ha Ha. Yeah, right.
See you guys in the morning.
452
00:16:12,804 --> 00:16:13,704
All right,
see you tomorrow.
453
00:16:13,705 --> 00:16:14,505
Careful.
454
00:16:16,306 --> 00:16:17,306
Okay, so who is it?
455
00:16:17,307 --> 00:16:18,407
- I don't know.
- Got me.
456
00:16:18,508 --> 00:16:20,608
So she hasn't
mentioned anyone?
457
00:16:20,609 --> 00:16:21,709
In case you
haven't noticed,
458
00:16:21,710 --> 00:16:24,910
Beckett isn't exactly
what you'd call a "sharer."
459
00:16:25,011 --> 00:16:26,811
Why do you care
anyway, Castle?
460
00:16:27,112 --> 00:16:28,712
Do you have
some unresolved feelings?
461
00:16:28,713 --> 00:16:29,513
mm.
462
00:16:29,614 --> 00:16:30,314
For Beckett?
463
00:16:30,315 --> 00:16:31,215
Yeah.
464
00:16:31,216 --> 00:16:32,616
The woman
hates con movies.
465
00:16:43,318 --> 00:16:45,618
# speak to me #
466
00:16:46,519 --> 00:16:49,819
# read my mind #
467
00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:53,820
# fill your mouth #
468
00:16:54,721 --> 00:16:56,021
# with flesh #
469
00:16:56,822 --> 00:16:57,822
# and wine #
470
00:16:58,623 --> 00:17:01,323
# and I'll be yours #
471
00:17:01,724 --> 00:17:03,424
# just give #
472
00:17:03,425 --> 00:17:05,225
# me time #
473
00:17:05,226 --> 00:17:06,926
# mm #
474
00:17:09,527 --> 00:17:12,227
# give me time #
475
00:17:13,828 --> 00:17:17,728
# and I just can't stop #
476
00:17:18,529 --> 00:17:21,329
# Lord, I can't stop #
477
00:17:21,330 --> 00:17:22,630
# myself #
478
00:17:22,631 --> 00:17:25,231
# I can't stop #
479
00:17:26,532 --> 00:17:29,232
# Lord, I can't stop #
480
00:17:29,233 --> 00:17:31,333
# myself #
481
00:17:31,634 --> 00:17:33,334
# now #
482
00:17:33,335 --> 00:17:35,335
##
483
00:17:44,237 --> 00:17:45,737
I thought you said
her lesson was tomorrow.
484
00:17:46,238 --> 00:17:47,638
Oh, Dylan
had a cancellation.
485
00:17:47,639 --> 00:17:49,539
Alexis begged him to let her
take the slot.
486
00:17:50,540 --> 00:17:52,540
So it's B-flat
and C-sharp, right?
487
00:17:54,042 --> 00:17:54,842
What are you doing?
488
00:17:54,943 --> 00:17:55,743
Nothing.
489
00:17:55,744 --> 00:17:56,744
Rest.
Beautiful.
490
00:17:57,745 --> 00:17:58,945
Right, I know
I keep forgetting that rest.
491
00:17:58,946 --> 00:17:59,946
Very nice.
492
00:18:01,447 --> 00:18:02,347
Why'd it just get
so quiet?
493
00:18:03,348 --> 00:18:04,548
Maybe he's teaching her
something.
494
00:18:04,849 --> 00:18:07,049
Maybe he's filling her head
full of lies.
495
00:18:07,450 --> 00:18:08,950
What are you
talking about?
496
00:18:09,451 --> 00:18:11,051
All right, that's it.
I'm going up there.
497
00:18:11,052 --> 00:18:12,052
Oh.
498
00:18:13,753 --> 00:18:16,153
So when I start the piece,
should it be up-bow?
499
00:18:16,554 --> 00:18:18,054
- Ah, Yeah, I would.
- Okay.
500
00:18:18,055 --> 00:18:20,355
Oh, hey, you guys. I had
no idea you were even here.
501
00:18:20,556 --> 00:18:22,656
Well, she's a
very talented girl.
502
00:18:22,657 --> 00:18:23,957
And a real hard worker.
503
00:18:23,958 --> 00:18:25,858
So, um,
practice your sautillé,
504
00:18:25,859 --> 00:18:27,659
and we'll take another stag
at Brahms next week,
505
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,460
Okay, great.
506
00:18:29,161 --> 00:18:29,861
Have a good night.
507
00:18:29,862 --> 00:18:30,462
You too.
508
00:18:30,563 --> 00:18:31,563
Night, Dylan.
509
00:18:31,564 --> 00:18:32,564
Bye.
510
00:18:34,665 --> 00:18:35,465
You be safe.
511
00:18:39,467 --> 00:18:40,267
I don't trust him.
512
00:18:41,668 --> 00:18:42,268
What? Why?
513
00:18:42,269 --> 00:18:43,569
What do we really know
about this guy?
514
00:18:44,070 --> 00:18:45,670
I know that he's
an amazing violinist
515
00:18:45,671 --> 00:18:46,871
and a really great teacher.
516
00:18:47,372 --> 00:18:48,372
Olga was a great teacher.
517
00:18:48,373 --> 00:18:50,573
Olga kept a tissue
up her sleeve
518
00:18:50,574 --> 00:18:51,874
and smelled like
hard candy.
519
00:18:53,275 --> 00:18:54,375
What's this about, Dad?
520
00:18:54,376 --> 00:18:55,576
I just don't think
that you realize
521
00:18:55,577 --> 00:18:57,877
that what you see
is not always what you get.
522
00:18:57,878 --> 00:19:00,378
I mean. how do you know that
Dylan really goes to Julliard?
523
00:19:00,379 --> 00:19:01,279
Did you call the school?
524
00:19:01,580 --> 00:19:02,080
No.
525
00:19:02,081 --> 00:19:02,881
Check his transcripts?
526
00:19:02,982 --> 00:19:03,982
No, but, Dad, I--
527
00:19:03,983 --> 00:19:05,383
Okay, I don't think you should
take any more lessons
528
00:19:05,384 --> 00:19:06,684
from this guy until he's been
properly vetted.
529
00:19:06,985 --> 00:19:09,985
I want credit check, school
reports, maybe even a polygraph.
530
00:19:10,286 --> 00:19:12,386
Okay, you're officially
out of control.
531
00:19:12,387 --> 00:19:14,387
No, I'm not.
And back me up here.
532
00:19:14,388 --> 00:19:16,788
You want her violin teacher
to take a lie detector test?
533
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:18,389
You're off the
reservation, kiddo.
534
00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:19,590
Okay, you know what?
You're cut off?
535
00:19:19,591 --> 00:19:20,391
- Oh.
- Dad.
536
00:19:20,392 --> 00:19:22,392
No, you know what?
I am the grown up here.
537
00:19:22,393 --> 00:19:23,693
Oh, this is scary.
538
00:19:23,694 --> 00:19:25,494
And I say no more lessons
from this guy
539
00:19:25,495 --> 00:19:26,695
until we've got him
checked out.
540
00:19:28,296 --> 00:19:28,896
What?
541
00:19:29,297 --> 00:19:31,897
I finally find a teacher
that I connect with,
542
00:19:31,898 --> 00:19:33,898
who's as excited about music
as I am.
543
00:19:34,499 --> 00:19:35,399
Why are you trying
to ruin it?
544
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,400
I'm not. I'm just...
545
00:19:38,501 --> 00:19:39,201
Hey.
546
00:19:42,203 --> 00:19:43,103
What's going on with her?
547
00:19:43,104 --> 00:19:46,104
Besides your unreasonableness?
Hormones.
548
00:19:47,005 --> 00:19:48,005
What's your excuse?
549
00:19:58,406 --> 00:20:01,206
Okay, Castle,
what was so important
550
00:20:01,207 --> 00:20:03,007
that you had to cut
my sparring session short?
551
00:20:03,008 --> 00:20:05,908
Just that I cracked this case
wide open.
552
00:20:06,009 --> 00:20:08,009
You know, the thought of you
fighting in a ring
553
00:20:08,010 --> 00:20:10,310
with another woman--
strangely arousing.
554
00:20:10,311 --> 00:20:12,411
Who says I was sparring
with a woman?
555
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:14,412
Oh, your mystery date.
556
00:20:14,413 --> 00:20:16,613
Oh, do I detect
some jealousy?
557
00:20:17,614 --> 00:20:17,714
Me, jealous? Ha!
558
00:20:18,415 --> 00:20:19,715
Double Ha!
559
00:20:21,416 --> 00:20:23,216
What if I told you
that my date
560
00:20:23,217 --> 00:20:25,317
was with your book?
561
00:20:25,518 --> 00:20:26,318
Really?
562
00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:28,219
No.
563
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:29,520
God, you're easy.
564
00:20:30,521 --> 00:20:32,121
Give me your
case-breaking information
565
00:20:33,781 --> 00:20:36,832
Well, I went a little
"Daddy Dearest" on Alexis,
566
00:20:36,842 --> 00:20:37,515
and it got me thinking.
567
00:20:37,516 --> 00:20:40,016
If I can go this crazy
over a violin teacher.
568
00:20:40,225 --> 00:20:41,483
How crazy would I go
if my daughter
569
00:20:41,484 --> 00:20:43,184
was about to marry
a scam artist?
570
00:20:43,593 --> 00:20:45,343
Crazy enough to kill, maybe?
571
00:20:45,772 --> 00:20:46,476
- That is--
572
00:20:46,477 --> 00:20:47,377
- Inspired?
- No.
573
00:20:47,378 --> 00:20:47,878
- Brilliant?
- mnh-mnh.
574
00:20:47,879 --> 00:20:48,679
- Genius?
- Unh-unh.
575
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:49,780
- What?
- Thin.
576
00:20:49,847 --> 00:20:50,363
- Oh
577
00:20:50,373 --> 00:20:51,463
We don't have
the slightest indication
578
00:20:51,464 --> 00:20:53,764
that Elise's father knew
that Fletcher was a con artist.
579
00:20:54,073 --> 00:20:57,014
Maybe not, but Castle here
suggested that we check
580
00:20:57,024 --> 00:20:59,402
gun registration records
for Gerry Finnegan.
581
00:20:59,412 --> 00:21:00,377
and guess who happens to own
582
00:21:00,378 --> 00:21:02,478
the same caliber handgun
as our murder weapon.
583
00:21:02,587 --> 00:21:03,848
- Who?
- Gerry Finnegan.
584
00:21:03,883 --> 00:21:05,251
Shut the front door!
585
00:21:05,261 --> 00:21:07,766
No time for dirty talk,
Go get changed.
586
00:21:08,646 --> 00:21:10,315
I keep it
locked in the safe.
587
00:21:10,325 --> 00:21:11,818
Hasn't been fired
in years.
588
00:21:12,253 --> 00:21:13,915
Did anyone else
have the combination?
589
00:21:13,950 --> 00:21:14,954
No one.
590
00:21:17,701 --> 00:21:20,586
Hasn't been fired recently
or cleaned.
591
00:21:22,163 --> 00:21:24,067
I'd like to take it
to the lab if you don't mind.
592
00:21:24,077 --> 00:21:25,081
Certainly.
593
00:21:25,234 --> 00:21:26,466
- Mr. Finnegan.
- Hmm?
594
00:21:26,476 --> 00:21:28,570
One father to another,
595
00:21:29,256 --> 00:21:31,745
I just can't believe
that you never had the urge
596
00:21:31,780 --> 00:21:33,719
to check out your
future son-in-law.
597
00:21:33,729 --> 00:21:35,897
I mean, you never thought
for a moment that maybe
598
00:21:35,932 --> 00:21:38,179
Fletcher wasn't what he was
making himself out to be?
599
00:21:38,189 --> 00:21:39,189
I didn't think.
600
00:21:39,224 --> 00:21:40,224
I knew.
601
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,519
Two weeks ago, I hired a private
investigator to look into Steven.
602
00:21:44,554 --> 00:21:46,817
Not that I was suspicious
I wasn't.
603
00:21:46,827 --> 00:21:49,579
I just thought
better safe than sorry.
604
00:21:49,589 --> 00:21:51,149
I was shocked
when he called to tell me
605
00:21:51,150 --> 00:21:53,250
that Steven was a fraud.
606
00:21:53,651 --> 00:21:55,483
Then I got angry.
607
00:21:55,702 --> 00:21:56,702
Please.
608
00:21:58,334 --> 00:21:59,836
I confronted Steven.
609
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:02,479
I told him
I was going to expose him.
610
00:22:02,955 --> 00:22:04,786
and have the wedding
called off.
611
00:22:04,821 --> 00:22:07,991
Well, he begged
me not to.
612
00:22:08,602 --> 00:22:11,748
He said he was head over heels
in love with Elise,
613
00:22:11,783 --> 00:22:14,478
wanted to spend the rest
of his life with her.
614
00:22:16,358 --> 00:22:18,831
I told him
I wasn't buying it,
615
00:22:19,061 --> 00:22:22,534
but he promised
that he was done with cons,
616
00:22:22,544 --> 00:22:25,171
that the only reason
that he was still pretending
617
00:22:25,181 --> 00:22:27,504
to be a polar explorer
was for the kids.
618
00:22:27,539 --> 00:22:29,007
He didn't want
to let them down.
619
00:22:29,042 --> 00:22:31,468
He was a professional liar,
Mr. Finnegan.
620
00:22:31,678 --> 00:22:33,223
Yes, I know that.
621
00:22:33,824 --> 00:22:37,127
But what ultimately
convinced me was the prenup.
622
00:22:37,264 --> 00:22:39,777
He said I could draw up
any document,
623
00:22:39,812 --> 00:22:43,036
cut him out of our fortune
entirely if I wanted,
624
00:22:43,071 --> 00:22:44,418
and he would sign it.
625
00:22:44,428 --> 00:22:47,082
After a lifetime of greed,
he said,
626
00:22:47,092 --> 00:22:50,263
he'd finally found something
more important than money--
627
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,021
- Love.
- And you believed him?
628
00:22:53,056 --> 00:22:54,290
Yes, I did.
629
00:22:54,325 --> 00:22:57,796
So I never said a word
about it to anybody.
630
00:22:58,868 --> 00:23:01,979
and then when you
showed up here yesterday,
631
00:23:02,163 --> 00:23:04,382
I... I-I just
couldn't tell Elise.
632
00:23:04,914 --> 00:23:06,652
The private investigator
that you hired,
633
00:23:06,653 --> 00:23:08,153
did he take
any photographs?
634
00:23:08,262 --> 00:23:09,265
Yes.
635
00:23:09,526 --> 00:23:11,193
He followed Steven
for a week.
636
00:23:11,228 --> 00:23:13,619
He offered me the photos,
but I said I didn't want
637
00:23:13,620 --> 00:23:16,620
them in the house
were Elise might see them.
638
00:23:17,011 --> 00:23:18,195
What are you thinking?
639
00:23:18,957 --> 00:23:19,704
That Fletcher's killer.
640
00:23:19,805 --> 00:23:21,805
might be in one
of those photographs.
641
00:23:22,168 --> 00:23:22,854
You think it's possible
642
00:23:22,855 --> 00:23:24,855
that Fletcher was
telling Gerry the truth?
643
00:23:24,964 --> 00:23:27,470
That he's suddenly a con man
with a heart of gold? No.
644
00:23:27,505 --> 00:23:28,727
That's just another con.
645
00:23:28,762 --> 00:23:29,834
Who, Who.
646
00:23:29,869 --> 00:23:31,680
You don't think
people can change?
647
00:23:32,146 --> 00:23:33,153
No.
648
00:23:34,140 --> 00:23:35,712
I've seen too many
repeat offenders
649
00:23:35,713 --> 00:23:37,713
to believe for one second
that a guy who promises
650
00:23:37,722 --> 00:23:40,587
never to beat his wife again
actually won't.
651
00:23:41,332 --> 00:23:43,552
- That's a pretty bleak attitude.
- Not bleak.
652
00:23:43,587 --> 00:23:44,798
Realistic.
653
00:23:47,357 --> 00:23:48,422
After Mr. Finnegan hired me,
654
00:23:48,423 --> 00:23:51,023
I followed your boy
night and day.
655
00:23:51,032 --> 00:23:53,765
It became clear pretty fast
he was a grifter.
656
00:23:54,003 --> 00:23:55,318
Hello.
657
00:23:55,353 --> 00:23:56,445
What?
658
00:23:58,604 --> 00:24:00,059
- Isn't that
- Jim Wheeler.
659
00:24:00,069 --> 00:24:02,460
First grade
teacher extraordinaire.
660
00:24:02,773 --> 00:24:04,641
- When was this taken?
- Ten days ago.
661
00:24:04,676 --> 00:24:06,899
When Fletcher was supposed
to be in the Arctic.
662
00:24:07,128 --> 00:24:09,489
Looks like Mr. Wheeler
was in on the scam.
663
00:24:15,090 --> 00:24:15,690
Um..
664
00:24:18,269 --> 00:24:20,077
Okay, I... I'm not
gonna lie to you.
665
00:24:20,112 --> 00:24:22,154
Really? 'Cause clearly,
you're pretty good at it.
666
00:24:22,249 --> 00:24:25,722
Listen, I realized
that Fletcher was faking it
667
00:24:25,757 --> 00:24:26,972
when I discovered
that the pictures
668
00:24:26,973 --> 00:24:28,973
in his promotional booklet
were photo-shopped.
669
00:24:28,982 --> 00:24:30,470
So you figured you'd make
a few bucks.
670
00:24:30,471 --> 00:24:31,871
rather than,
671
00:24:32,058 --> 00:24:34,087
I don't know,
protect your students?
672
00:24:34,122 --> 00:24:36,352
No. I-I know
this sounds crazy, but...
673
00:24:37,456 --> 00:24:38,771
the kids were learning.
674
00:24:38,806 --> 00:24:40,784
Fletcher loved those kids,
and they loved him.
675
00:24:40,794 --> 00:24:42,864
Sure, he was faking the trip,
technically,
676
00:24:42,899 --> 00:24:43,973
but he went out of his way
677
00:24:43,974 --> 00:24:46,774
to provide a dynamic,
fact-filled presentation.
678
00:24:46,783 --> 00:24:48,154
I just figured,
if he was making money on it,
679
00:24:48,155 --> 00:24:50,955
why shouldn't I?
Nobody was getting hurt.
680
00:24:51,001 --> 00:24:53,533
He was scamming little kids,
and you were his accomplice.
681
00:24:53,568 --> 00:24:56,272
Any jury in the world
would convict you of that.
682
00:24:56,282 --> 00:24:57,301
Jury?
683
00:24:58,286 --> 00:24:58,955
I didn't kill him.
684
00:24:58,956 --> 00:25:00,556
I was standing right here
when he was murdered.
685
00:25:00,590 --> 00:25:02,780
Doesn't mean I won't prosecute
you for criminal fraud.
686
00:25:02,790 --> 00:25:04,335
Now you want
to stay out of jail,
687
00:25:04,370 --> 00:25:06,781
You better point us
towards Fletcher's killer.
688
00:25:07,029 --> 00:25:09,700
Listen, I-I swear,
I don't know who killed him.
689
00:25:10,809 --> 00:25:12,181
Have you spoken
to his partner?
690
00:25:12,216 --> 00:25:13,260
- Partner?
- Partner?
691
00:25:13,295 --> 00:25:13,911
I guess that's who
she was.
692
00:25:13,912 --> 00:25:16,312
She was with him at the cafe
when I met him.
693
00:25:16,321 --> 00:25:17,875
She's in the picture.
694
00:25:19,284 --> 00:25:20,534
Where?
695
00:25:23,581 --> 00:25:24,732
Hard to see.
696
00:25:24,767 --> 00:25:26,193
Do you have
a magnifying glass?
697
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:27,400
Better.
698
00:25:37,370 --> 00:25:39,955
That's Elise Finnegan,
Fletcher fiance.
699
00:25:40,470 --> 00:25:43,224
Who is conning
whom here?
700
00:25:44,308 --> 00:25:44,812
First you tell me
701
00:25:44,813 --> 00:25:47,713
that you have no idea
that Fletcher is a con man.
702
00:25:47,885 --> 00:25:49,103
And then I find
a picture of you
703
00:25:49,104 --> 00:25:51,504
witnessing him make a payoff
during one of his scams.
704
00:25:51,538 --> 00:25:53,281
That's not what it was.
705
00:25:53,291 --> 00:25:55,636
- Then what was it?
- I can't...
706
00:25:57,972 --> 00:26:00,906
Elise, the man
that you loved is dead.
707
00:26:00,941 --> 00:26:03,220
I am trying to find
his killer.
708
00:26:03,666 --> 00:26:04,742
Help me.
709
00:26:08,926 --> 00:26:11,139
Steven wasn't a con man.
710
00:26:11,149 --> 00:26:12,983
- Elise, we--
- He wasn't.
711
00:26:13,226 --> 00:26:15,015
He was in the CIA.
712
00:26:15,381 --> 00:26:17,004
- This is the best case ever
- Shut up.
713
00:26:17,014 --> 00:26:19,010
What makes you think
he's in the CIA?
714
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,595
A month
after we started dating,
715
00:26:20,596 --> 00:26:23,896
he told me that he couldn't bear
lying to me anymore.
716
00:26:24,025 --> 00:26:26,269
He wasn't really
a corporate lawyer,
717
00:26:26,299 --> 00:26:29,781
he was a CIA agent
on a top-secret case.
718
00:26:29,811 --> 00:26:32,513
And what part of this case
involves conning first graders?
719
00:26:32,543 --> 00:26:34,837
Well, that was part
of his mission.
720
00:26:35,418 --> 00:26:36,214
Next you're gonna tell me
721
00:26:36,215 --> 00:26:38,415
that Wheeler
was also a secret agent.
722
00:26:39,524 --> 00:26:41,370
- Oh, come-on.
- Think about it.
723
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,070
Wheeler works
at the International School.
724
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:45,611
Half of those students
are the children
725
00:26:45,612 --> 00:26:47,312
of U.N. diplomats--
726
00:26:47,341 --> 00:26:50,250
Syria, China, the Middle East.
727
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,937
Getting close to their kids
allowed Steven unique access
728
00:26:53,967 --> 00:26:56,565
to some of our country's
worst enemies.
729
00:26:56,595 --> 00:26:58,950
- That is--
- Pretty smart.
730
00:26:59,917 --> 00:27:03,237
Steven wasn't killed
for being a con man,
731
00:27:03,267 --> 00:27:06,237
he was killed
for his intelligence work.
732
00:27:07,384 --> 00:27:08,437
No.
733
00:27:08,719 --> 00:27:10,303
- I'm just saying--
- No.
734
00:27:10,493 --> 00:27:14,103
- You can't deny it's a possibility...
- He is not in the CIA.
735
00:27:16,222 --> 00:27:17,870
I'll bet you a dollar.
736
00:27:18,511 --> 00:27:19,816
All right.
You're on.
737
00:27:21,907 --> 00:27:24,796
- Who are you calling?
- My guy in the CIA.
738
00:27:24,826 --> 00:27:26,508
You have a guy
in the CIA?
739
00:27:26,824 --> 00:27:29,522
When you gonna learn?
I've got a guy everywhere.
740
00:27:29,866 --> 00:27:32,854
Thai food is pleasing
to the tongue.
741
00:27:33,948 --> 00:27:35,233
Secret code.
742
00:27:35,653 --> 00:27:36,989
He'll call me back.
743
00:27:39,391 --> 00:27:42,178
I met agent Gray when I was
researching "Storm Warning".
744
00:27:42,188 --> 00:27:43,105
Now this guy was invaluable
745
00:27:43,106 --> 00:27:48,506
for the really hard-core
secret agent stuff.
746
00:27:46,535 --> 00:27:48,632
This guy is a machine.
747
00:27:49,194 --> 00:27:51,942
I've interviewed
serial killers, hit men.
748
00:27:52,271 --> 00:27:53,343
- Agent Gray?
- mm-hmm.
749
00:27:53,344 --> 00:27:55,944
By far the deadliest man
I've ever met.
750
00:27:57,012 --> 00:27:59,003
He once killed
a North Korean agent
751
00:27:59,004 --> 00:28:00,404
with a melon baler.
752
00:28:00,433 --> 00:28:02,970
It was an
ice cream scoop, Castle.
753
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:05,348
and that information
was supposed to remain private.
754
00:28:05,478 --> 00:28:07,554
- Sorry.
- Agent Gray.
755
00:28:07,584 --> 00:28:10,511
Not quite what I pictures
based on Castle's description.
756
00:28:10,541 --> 00:28:13,621
I live in a world where nothing
is as it seems, Detective.
757
00:28:13,651 --> 00:28:14,887
For good reason.
758
00:28:14,917 --> 00:28:17,043
Transparency gets you killed.
759
00:28:17,073 --> 00:28:19,277
Didn't you use that line
in "Storm Warning"?
760
00:28:19,307 --> 00:28:21,551
Yeah. I use some of your kines
in "Heat Wave," too.
761
00:28:21,581 --> 00:28:23,363
Which you'd know
if you'd read it.
762
00:28:23,493 --> 00:28:24,129
I read it.
763
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,248
I thought it was terrific,
especially that sex scene.
764
00:28:27,249 --> 00:28:28,249
Talk about racy.
765
00:28:28,778 --> 00:28:30,510
Wait. There' a sex scene
in the book?
766
00:28:30,811 --> 00:28:31,711
Between us?
767
00:28:31,940 --> 00:28:34,000
There's a sex scene in
the book between Nikki Heat
768
00:28:34,010 --> 00:28:36,161
and the roguishly handsome
reporter who's helping her.
769
00:28:36,191 --> 00:28:38,500
Oh, good.
So he's nothing like you.
770
00:28:38,530 --> 00:28:39,549
Funny.
771
00:28:39,579 --> 00:28:42,361
Wait, how did--How did you
get a copy of the book?
772
00:28:43,849 --> 00:28:46,047
Look... Can you just tell us
that Fletcher wasn't a spook
773
00:28:46,077 --> 00:28:48,637
so wee can get on
with the case?
774
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:50,095
Not here.
775
00:28:58,113 --> 00:28:59,219
Get out.
776
00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:06,915
Officially, I am not
at liberty to confirm or deny
777
00:29:06,925 --> 00:29:08,479
whether anyone is an agent,
778
00:29:08,780 --> 00:29:10,380
but unofficially...
779
00:29:13,367 --> 00:29:15,456
We've never heard
of your boy.
780
00:29:22,580 --> 00:29:23,975
- So cool.
- Wh--
781
00:29:25,114 --> 00:29:26,816
I can't believe
Fletcher conned me.
782
00:29:26,846 --> 00:29:28,648
We need to take
another run at Elise,
783
00:29:28,678 --> 00:29:31,033
see if there's anything else
she's holding out on us.
784
00:29:31,063 --> 00:29:32,068
Dad!
785
00:29:33,151 --> 00:29:34,528
We need to talk.
786
00:29:37,462 --> 00:29:39,161
- Sweetie...
- Sit.
787
00:29:41,355 --> 00:29:41,987
Dylan called.
788
00:29:42,288 --> 00:29:44,688
Did you call Julliard
and check on him?
789
00:29:45,457 --> 00:29:46,563
Maybe.
790
00:29:46,593 --> 00:29:48,446
I can't believe you.
After I told you.
791
00:29:48,476 --> 00:29:50,312
how much taking lessons
from him means to me?
792
00:29:50,322 --> 00:29:51,678
- Sweetie--
- No, no, quiet.
793
00:29:51,688 --> 00:29:53,244
Am I a troublemaker, Dad?
794
00:29:53,374 --> 00:29:54,228
Do I get drunk,
795
00:29:54,629 --> 00:29:56,629
disobey authority,
steal police horses...
796
00:29:56,630 --> 00:29:57,630
- That--
- Naked?
797
00:29:57,858 --> 00:29:59,430
No, That's be you.
798
00:29:59,620 --> 00:30:01,278
I seem to be the only person
in this family
799
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:02,379
blessed with good judgment,
800
00:30:02,408 --> 00:30:04,085
And yet,
you don't trust me.
801
00:30:04,115 --> 00:30:07,417
I trust you. It's just--it's
a dangerous world out there...
802
00:30:07,447 --> 00:30:08,423
and people lie.
803
00:30:08,424 --> 00:30:11,124
You don't think I know that?
I'm in high school.
804
00:30:11,253 --> 00:30:13,128
it's like the wild wild west
with hormones, and I think
805
00:30:13,158 --> 00:30:14,516
I'm doing a pretty good job
navigating it.
806
00:30:14,517 --> 00:30:15,617
You are, and I'm proud.
807
00:30:15,618 --> 00:30:17,318
Well, then why don't you
trust me to pick the person
808
00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:18,919
Who's gonna inspire me
as an artist?
809
00:30:21,446 --> 00:30:24,328
I love you, daddy, but I'm not
a little girl anymore.
810
00:30:24,338 --> 00:30:26,349
You can't protect me
from everything.
811
00:30:34,024 --> 00:30:35,026
She's good.
812
00:30:36,286 --> 00:30:38,163
She took you apart
like a pro.
813
00:30:38,173 --> 00:30:40,597
- You saw that?
- Mm-hmm. Through the glass.
814
00:30:42,208 --> 00:30:44,338
It was actually kind of
difficult to watch.
815
00:30:44,368 --> 00:30:46,869
Even harder to experience.
816
00:30:48,001 --> 00:30:50,936
So do you need a minute,
or can we get back to work?
817
00:30:51,511 --> 00:30:52,893
I'll give you a minute.
818
00:30:56,536 --> 00:30:58,470
You're the one who's been
pushing her to break the rules,
819
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,480
and when she suddenly steps
outside of your comfort zone,
820
00:31:01,610 --> 00:31:03,533
I didn't freak out.
I was...
821
00:31:04,639 --> 00:31:06,619
I freaked out a little,
didn't I?
822
00:31:06,629 --> 00:31:09,405
Welcome to parenting
a teenage girl.
823
00:31:09,415 --> 00:31:12,911
as someone who used to be one,
you have my sympathy.
824
00:31:13,631 --> 00:31:14,699
Detective...
825
00:31:15,997 --> 00:31:17,370
Can we come in?
826
00:31:18,498 --> 00:31:19,586
Sure.
827
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:28,654
Is everything okay?
828
00:31:28,877 --> 00:31:29,905
Fine.
829
00:31:30,269 --> 00:31:33,624
We did some checking, Elise.
Fletcher wasn't in the CIA.
830
00:31:33,659 --> 00:31:35,395
Okay. I-Is that all?
831
00:31:36,485 --> 00:31:37,203
I don't understand.
832
00:31:37,204 --> 00:31:39,404
You fight me tooth and nail
that he wasn't a con man,
833
00:31:39,413 --> 00:31:40,540
and now you just give in?
834
00:31:40,875 --> 00:31:43,774
I just--I just want
this whole thing behind me.
835
00:31:44,291 --> 00:31:45,702
There's something
you aren't telling us.
836
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:47,755
I don't know
what you're talking about.
837
00:31:47,765 --> 00:31:49,542
Elise, tell them
the good news.
838
00:31:49,577 --> 00:31:51,096
- What good news?
- Nothing.
839
00:31:51,131 --> 00:31:52,481
Fletcher alive.
840
00:31:53,909 --> 00:31:55,968
Best case ever.
841
00:31:59,140 --> 00:32:01,000
I'm sorry
I tried to fool you.
842
00:32:01,001 --> 00:32:01,701
It's just...
843
00:32:02,035 --> 00:32:05,144
Steven left me a voice mail
a half an hour ago.
844
00:32:05,379 --> 00:32:06,729
And you're sure
it was him?
845
00:32:07,577 --> 00:32:09,070
Elise,
they're after me.
846
00:32:09,071 --> 00:32:11,071
I'll contact you
when I can.
847
00:32:11,362 --> 00:32:13,012
Trust no one.
848
00:32:13,487 --> 00:32:15,558
Okay, I just got
a chill.
849
00:32:18,729 --> 00:32:19,578
That's not possible.
850
00:32:20,279 --> 00:32:21,279
and yet...
851
00:32:22,942 --> 00:32:23,886
But if Fletcher's alive,
852
00:32:23,887 --> 00:32:26,187
then who's the dead guy
in out morgue?
853
00:32:30,332 --> 00:32:31,875
It's Fletcher, right?
854
00:32:32,020 --> 00:32:35,020
Honestly,
I'm not 100% sure.
855
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,684
His prints match the ones
found at the apartment,
856
00:32:37,694 --> 00:32:40,389
but we never got a fingerprint
match on his real identity.
857
00:32:40,399 --> 00:32:42,362
So I have nothing else
to compare it to.
858
00:32:42,372 --> 00:32:45,525
Plus, Fletcher has seven known
identities, and so far,
859
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,721
I haven't found a single one
that went to the dentist.
860
00:32:47,756 --> 00:32:49,805
So I have no dental records
to compare.
861
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:50,677
Okay, bottom line?
862
00:32:50,878 --> 00:32:53,278
This body could
or could not be
863
00:32:53,287 --> 00:32:55,411
a man whose alias
is Steven Fletcher.
864
00:32:55,546 --> 00:32:58,146
- But we saw him die.
- Or did we?
865
00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:03,267
- I hate this case/
- I know, isn't it great?
866
00:33:04,431 --> 00:33:07,131
Wait. What are you... No.
No. No, don't. Don'! Don't!
867
00:33:07,332 --> 00:33:08,132
Aah!
868
00:33:09,149 --> 00:33:10,351
We don't actually see
his murder.
869
00:33:10,361 --> 00:33:12,168
The camera's already fallen
when the shot went off.
870
00:33:12,178 --> 00:33:14,210
And the body we have
doesn't even have a face.
871
00:33:14,745 --> 00:33:18,505
But why? Fletcher was about to marry
into an obscene amount of money,
872
00:33:18,515 --> 00:33:20,923
and the only other scam
he had going was at the school.
873
00:33:20,933 --> 00:33:23,122
Why would he just jump ship
and fake his death?
874
00:33:23,157 --> 00:33:25,656
It's possible agent Gray
was lying to us about Fletcher
875
00:33:25,657 --> 00:33:26,557
to protect the mission.
876
00:33:26,691 --> 00:33:27,900
No, he wasn't in the CIA
877
00:33:27,901 --> 00:33:30,201
the paper trail for the cons
is way too extensive.
878
00:33:30,735 --> 00:33:32,111
There's something else
that we're not seeing here.
879
00:33:32,112 --> 00:33:32,912
Yeah.
880
00:33:33,146 --> 00:33:34,645
Yeah, one of Fletcher's
credit cards was just used
881
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,574
to buy a plane ticket--
JFK to Jakarta, Indonesia.
882
00:33:37,575 --> 00:33:38,475
He's making a run for it.
883
00:33:38,484 --> 00:33:39,074
- Why Indonesia?
884
00:33:39,175 --> 00:33:40,475
it's a non-extradition country.
885
00:33:40,684 --> 00:33:42,876
- What time does the plane leave?
- 5:00 o'clock.
886
00:33:44,318 --> 00:33:45,992
Alert D.H.S. and T.S.A.
887
00:33:46,093 --> 00:33:47,493
We'll coordinate a plan
of attack on the way.
888
00:33:47,602 --> 00:33:49,071
Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait.
889
00:33:49,106 --> 00:33:50,715
We also got hits
on five other identities--
890
00:33:50,725 --> 00:33:52,339
credit card reservation
for flights out of Newark
891
00:33:52,340 --> 00:33:54,340
and LaGuardia, car rental
reservations out of New York
892
00:33:54,349 --> 00:33:56,343
and Philadelphia
and an Amtrak out of D.C.
893
00:33:56,478 --> 00:33:58,438
He's trying to confuse
his trail, spread us thin.
894
00:33:58,448 --> 00:33:59,018
Well, it's gonna work.
895
00:33:59,019 --> 00:34:01,019
We don't have resources
to cover that territory.
896
00:34:01,253 --> 00:34:02,567
And these are just the ID's
that we know about.
897
00:34:02,702 --> 00:34:04,117
I guarantee you he's got
at least one identity
898
00:34:04,118 --> 00:34:05,218
we've never heard of.
899
00:34:05,252 --> 00:34:06,702
So he's gonna get away
with this murder?
900
00:34:07,362 --> 00:34:08,649
- No.
- What do you mean, "No"?
901
00:34:08,684 --> 00:34:10,275
By the time we figure out
his real escape route,
902
00:34:10,276 --> 00:34:12,376
He'll be on a beach somewhere
laughing at us.
903
00:34:12,410 --> 00:34:14,063
We don't need to figure out
his escape route,
904
00:34:14,064 --> 00:34:16,464
Because all roads lead
to Elise.
905
00:34:17,654 --> 00:34:20,692
Why would he risk everything
by calling Elise?
906
00:34:21,224 --> 00:34:22,709
Sir, I believe
he really does love her,
907
00:34:22,710 --> 00:34:24,610
and he was planning on
running away with her.
908
00:34:24,944 --> 00:34:27,192
If we get to Elise,
we'll find Fletcher.
909
00:34:27,227 --> 00:34:28,243
Go.
910
00:34:29,477 --> 00:34:30,593
You just missed her.
911
00:34:30,594 --> 00:34:33,794
She left about ten minutes ago
after she got another call.
912
00:34:33,928 --> 00:34:34,602
From Fletcher?
913
00:34:34,803 --> 00:34:37,103
She wouldn't say.
She just ran out the door.
914
00:34:37,337 --> 00:34:39,296
But I think she might have
written something down
915
00:34:39,297 --> 00:34:39,997
by the phone?
916
00:34:42,603 --> 00:34:43,728
What's going on?
917
00:34:43,763 --> 00:34:44,962
Try the old pencil trick
where
918
00:34:44,963 --> 00:34:45,863
- I know.
- you rub it--
919
00:34:49,961 --> 00:34:51,061
Damn it.
920
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:54,167
I'm gonna call in
an A.P.B. on Elise,
921
00:34:54,202 --> 00:34:57,009
see if we can get lucky
at one of the airports.
922
00:34:58,531 --> 00:34:59,623
or...
923
00:35:03,919 --> 00:35:04,919
What?
924
00:35:05,701 --> 00:35:08,131
- Mrs. Finnegan, What is this?
- Oh, oh.
925
00:35:08,166 --> 00:35:10,318
that's their
engagement album.
926
00:35:10,627 --> 00:35:12,061
it just came.
927
00:35:12,071 --> 00:35:13,396
Sue made it for the wedding.
928
00:35:13,397 --> 00:35:15,597
Every guest
was going to get one.
929
00:35:15,631 --> 00:35:16,466
This looks just like the--
930
00:35:16,467 --> 00:35:18,367
The Arctic brochure
Fletcher handed out.
931
00:35:18,376 --> 00:35:19,852
You said Sue made this?
932
00:35:19,887 --> 00:35:21,437
Yes,
she's a graphic artist.
933
00:35:21,664 --> 00:35:23,170
How long has
Sue known Elise?
934
00:35:23,205 --> 00:35:24,955
Oh, I don't know.
A year, maybe.
935
00:35:25,268 --> 00:35:26,781
Sue is Fletcher's partner.
936
00:35:26,816 --> 00:35:28,531
It's the
undercover lover con.
937
00:35:28,766 --> 00:35:31,420
Sue is the scout.
She gets close to Elise first,
938
00:35:31,430 --> 00:35:32,586
learns everything
there is to know,
939
00:35:32,587 --> 00:35:33,987
paving the way
for Fletcher.
940
00:35:33,996 --> 00:35:34,948
Who comes in
with a playbook
941
00:35:34,949 --> 00:35:37,049
of all of Elise's
hopes and dreams,
942
00:35:37,050 --> 00:35:39,550
and voila,
it's love at first sight.
943
00:35:39,913 --> 00:35:42,159
Oh, no, no, no.
Something doesn't quite track.
944
00:35:42,169 --> 00:35:44,731
Why would they fake Fletcher's
death in such a public way?
945
00:35:44,741 --> 00:35:46,659
They had to know the police
were gonna get involved,
946
00:35:46,669 --> 00:35:48,791
exposing their con to a lot
of dangerous scrutiny.
947
00:35:48,801 --> 00:35:50,842
Unless Fletcher
really is dead.
948
00:35:50,852 --> 00:35:51,931
If her dad is right,
949
00:35:51,932 --> 00:35:53,932
and Fletcher really
fell in love with Elise...
950
00:35:53,966 --> 00:35:55,894
And was going to give up
his con man ways...
951
00:35:55,929 --> 00:35:58,235
Then Sue stood to lose a fortune
by not finishing the con,
952
00:35:58,245 --> 00:36:00,322
and if Fletcher married Elise,
then Sue had no chance
953
00:36:00,323 --> 00:36:01,423
of pulling off the con
on her own.
954
00:36:01,457 --> 00:36:03,090
So Sue takes matters
into her own hands,
955
00:36:03,091 --> 00:36:05,091
she kills Fletcher,
shooting him in the face,
956
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:06,907
making sure a positive I.D.
is impossible.
957
00:36:06,917 --> 00:36:07,279
Bingo.
958
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,880
But what about the
phone call from Steven?
959
00:36:11,139 --> 00:36:12,210
Well, she must have
faked it somehow.
960
00:36:12,511 --> 00:36:13,811
Why?
961
00:36:14,145 --> 00:36:15,341
Because...
962
00:36:15,567 --> 00:36:17,354
- The con is still on.
- The con is still on.
963
00:36:17,389 --> 00:36:18,750
If Elise needed money
where would she go?
964
00:36:18,951 --> 00:36:21,751
National Bank and Trust.
84th and Lexington.
965
00:36:22,039 --> 00:36:24,910
- Thank you Mrs. Finnegan.
- Save these, they're evidence.
966
00:36:26,644 --> 00:36:27,675
Sue.
967
00:36:28,199 --> 00:36:29,409
Is Steven okay?
968
00:36:29,419 --> 00:36:31,811
Yeah, yeah. He would've called
himself, but it wasn't safe.
969
00:36:31,846 --> 00:36:34,079
and-and he's sure that
a million's going to be enough?
970
00:36:34,089 --> 00:36:35,486
it's enough to get you
out of the country.
971
00:36:35,487 --> 00:36:36,987
He's got money
stashed overseas.
972
00:36:36,996 --> 00:36:38,418
Oh, thanks, Sue.
973
00:36:38,453 --> 00:36:40,304
- You need to hurry.
- Okay.
974
00:36:50,976 --> 00:36:52,477
- Any problems?
- No, no.
975
00:36:52,487 --> 00:36:53,847
Ms. Finnegan!
976
00:36:56,875 --> 00:36:59,349
- You forgot your phone.
- Oh, thank you.
977
00:36:59,359 --> 00:37:00,542
Your welcome.
978
00:37:01,703 --> 00:37:03,286
Steven just called.
979
00:37:03,296 --> 00:37:05,038
He wants me to drop the money
at the safe house,
980
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:06,339
while you go pack.
981
00:37:06,348 --> 00:37:08,083
He said to meet him
at Grand Central at 9:00
982
00:37:08,084 --> 00:37:09,584
after he does
one last thing.
983
00:37:09,793 --> 00:37:11,389
- And then you two
can be together.
984
00:37:11,390 --> 00:37:12,290
Here.
985
00:37:13,074 --> 00:37:14,773
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
986
00:37:32,395 --> 00:37:33,195
Newspapers
987
00:37:33,596 --> 00:37:35,596
I didn't think people
read those anymore.
988
00:37:43,699 --> 00:37:44,895
Outta the car, you.
989
00:37:45,223 --> 00:37:46,734
Come on,
Let me see your hands.
990
00:37:46,924 --> 00:37:47,935
Turn around.
991
00:37:48,662 --> 00:37:49,746
You know,
Detective Beckett here
992
00:37:49,747 --> 00:37:52,047
didn't think we could con
a con artist, but
993
00:37:52,081 --> 00:37:53,732
I told her
you just weren't that smart.
994
00:37:54,067 --> 00:37:56,040
You did, after all, fall for
the oldest con in the book--
995
00:37:56,775 --> 00:37:58,102
The lazy Susan
996
00:38:00,916 --> 00:38:02,725
The lazy Susan?
997
00:38:02,735 --> 00:38:04,111
It's either that
or the grumpy beaver.
998
00:38:04,112 --> 00:38:05,212
I always get
them mixed up.
999
00:38:05,221 --> 00:38:06,236
Detective.
1000
00:38:09,199 --> 00:38:10,867
Thank you so much
for your help.
1001
00:38:10,877 --> 00:38:11,881
Absolutely
1002
00:38:12,222 --> 00:38:13,722
It's my job
to protect our clients.
1003
00:38:14,623 --> 00:38:15,923
Hey.
1004
00:38:16,163 --> 00:38:17,471
Oh, wow. Whoa.
Hang on a second.
1005
00:38:17,472 --> 00:38:19,872
I thought you said
you hated con movies.
1006
00:38:20,106 --> 00:38:23,657
Oh, Castle, you are such
an easy mark, aren't ya?
1007
00:38:23,692 --> 00:38:25,473
Hey, I got something.
1008
00:38:29,068 --> 00:38:31,002
Elise,
they're after me.
1009
00:38:31,432 --> 00:38:34,543
I'll contact you
when I can. Trust no one.
1010
00:38:34,575 --> 00:38:37,725
When you see how it's done,
it really takes the magic out of it.
1011
00:38:37,770 --> 00:38:38,785
Detective?
1012
00:38:42,261 --> 00:38:43,961
Is Steven really dead?
1013
00:38:45,889 --> 00:38:46,989
I'm afraid so.
1014
00:38:49,115 --> 00:38:51,139
Then it was all a lie?
1015
00:38:52,296 --> 00:38:52,774
No, Elise.
1016
00:38:52,775 --> 00:38:55,675
You need to know that Steven
loved you very much.
1017
00:38:56,687 --> 00:39:01,137
He changed his ways because you
made him want to be a better man.
1018
00:39:03,136 --> 00:39:04,147
Thank you.
1019
00:39:14,705 --> 00:39:16,190
No hot date tonight?
1020
00:39:16,225 --> 00:39:17,954
No, Just the paperwork.
1021
00:39:17,964 --> 00:39:20,275
One of the many reasons I'm glad
I'm not actually a cop.
1022
00:39:20,276 --> 00:39:21,276
Uh-huh.
1023
00:39:21,510 --> 00:39:23,779
- Have a good one.
- Yeah, you, too.
1024
00:39:52,180 --> 00:39:52,880
Aha.
1025
00:39:52,942 --> 00:39:54,757
Oh! Castle,
What are you doing here?
1026
00:39:54,792 --> 00:39:57,412
- I knew you were reading it.
- Uh, I w--
1027
00:39:57,447 --> 00:40:00,569
- It's one page 105, by the way.
- What?
1028
00:40:00,579 --> 00:40:02,338
That sex scene
you're looking for.
1029
00:40:02,439 --> 00:40:04,839
And Agent Gray was right.
It's steamy.
1030
00:40:05,473 --> 00:40:06,132
I wasn't.
1031
00:40:06,242 --> 00:40:07,046
See you tomorrow
1032
00:40:14,351 --> 00:40:15,251
Oh.
1033
00:40:36,130 --> 00:40:37,995
Wait.
Who's getting a lesson?
1034
00:40:38,030 --> 00:40:39,045
Gram.
1035
00:40:39,143 --> 00:40:41,643
- Very good. Very good.
- Thank you.
1036
00:40:42,042 --> 00:40:43,784
- That's nice
- Yeah.
1037
00:40:47,059 --> 00:40:49,750
- Very nice
- Yeah
1038
00:40:55,171 --> 00:40:57,671
Yeah, Oh, I-It's--Yes.
1039
00:40:57,911 --> 00:41:00,415
I'm sorry for how I acted.
1040
00:41:00,983 --> 00:41:03,614
There's no one in the world
I trust more than I trust you.
1041
00:41:05,015 --> 00:41:06,515
And I'm gonna try
to be more respectful.
1042
00:41:07,864 --> 00:41:09,645
Just promise me one thing.
1043
00:41:12,586 --> 00:41:14,162
Be patient with me.
1044
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,172
I've never had
a teenage daughter before.
1045
00:41:19,288 --> 00:41:20,319
Deal
1046
00:41:20,571 --> 00:41:21,573
Thanks.
1047
00:41:28,993 --> 00:41:32,452
Aren't you worried about Dylan's
intentions towards Gram?
1048
00:41:32,487 --> 00:41:34,539
I'm hoping they involve
running away together,
1049
00:41:34,540 --> 00:41:35,840
