Previously on "Castle"...
That's Sara El-Masri. She was abducted.
I will pay anything.
She's my only child.
They took Alexis, too.
She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
If there is a lead, we are gonna find it.
Go! Go!
The farmhouse was empty.
We searched top to bottom. They're gone.
Roger Henson-- he was tortured at length
by someone who knew what they were doing.
Henson was working for the kidnappers.
Why would they torture him?
I got it.
You're going to get out of here.
Daddy!
Alexis. Where are you?
I don't know.
They're coming. They found out we're gone.
Get out of there now.
Can you tell where the call is coming from?
The call originated from a cell tower
in Paris, France.
Help!
No! No!
Get off me!
Aah!
They're in another country. How is that possible?
We don't know, but clearly
the kidnappers were working for outside interests.
The voices on the call have been identified as Egyptian.
This isn't a kidnapping for ransom,
is it?
Why are they in Paris?
I don't know.
They took your daughter there,
and my daughter along with her. There must be a reason.
I don't know!
They are covering their tracks. Why?
Please.
They have our daughter, too.
Show them the sketch.
A neighbor spotted this man
coming out of the farmhouse driveway
after the girls were taken.
Do either of you recognize him?
No, he's not familiar.
So what's our next step?
The Skype call was made over a cellular data network,
so we have isolated the signal
to a 30-square-kilometer area.
30-square kilometers is the whole city.
I know.
But hopefully, an analysis of the video
will give us a clue as to where they're being held.
In the meantime, we're reaching out to the embassy to estab--
Reaching out? What does that mean?
There are certain protocols we have to follow
before we can move forward, permissions we have to get.
And how long will that take?
A day or two at the most.
A day or...
Our daughters are out there right now.
They need our help right now.
If you want to help your daughter,
you're gonna have to be patient.
Hey.
She sounded so scared.
I could hear it in her voice,
just like when she was a little girl.
And there was nothing I could do.
She wasn't hurt, Castle.
That's what matters.
That's what we hold on to.
I just want her home.
We're not giving up yet.
Hey.
They just called El-Masri with terms.
It's too soon. We can't be in position in time.
I don't care. I'm getting her back.
- What did they say? - It was a ransom demand.
$15 million euro-- from anti-Mubarak dissidents.
They set an exchange three hours from now.
Where?
In Paris down by The Seine.
Mr. El-Masri, you have to let me contact
- the local authorities. - No!
They were clear.
They see police, my daughter dies.
We'll pay to get her back.
Did they...
Did they say anything about Alexis?
Anwar insisted,
and they've agreed to release both our daughters.
If there is anything I owe you...
You owe me nothing.
If the police aren't involved, then who's making the drop?
My wife has a sister living in Paris.
Her husband will do the exchange.
Now if you'll excuse us, we have many calls to make.
Thank you.
Just pray these men are honorable.
There are security cameras
covering that portion of The Seine.
At the very least, maybe we can get a tap in,
see who these guys are.
Sir, we're live.
Any activity?
It looks deserted so far.
There.
Can you get any closer?
That's him. That's Ahmed.
This doesn't even seem real.
It's like some kind of show.
Everyone is intimidated by a shark. Become a Card Shark AMERICASCARDROOM.COM
Ahmed!
Get the Paris police on the phone. Now.
No, no, no, no! Wait. Wait.
No. No!
Where--where are they? Where are the girls?
He has her. She's safe.
Where's Alexis?
Agent Harris just spoke with Sara.
She and Alexis were separated after the escape attempt.
And that was the last time that she saw her.
They got what they wanted. She's of no value anymore.
You don't know that.
Yes, I do.
Where you going?
To tell my mother. She doesn't know yet.
I'll go with.
No.
I need to do this alone.
Castle may be right.
Sara was the objective.
Alexis is just a liability now.
Then why didn't they bring her to the exchange?
The same reason they took her-- a bargaining chip,
insurance in case something went wrong.
Insurance they don't need anymore.
We'll keep moving forward.
But we have to manage expectations now.
Agent Harris, I'm not gonna manage expectations.
I'll be solving a murder.
The girls' kidnapper Roger Henson
was tortured and killed,
most likely be the people that hired him.
We find those people, we will find Alexis.
Castle, it's me again.
Can you just call me when you get this?
He still not answering?
No.
Thanks.
You're welcome. Any luck on the dead guy?
Henson's been... completely off the grid.
I can't even find a known address.
All right, here's what I don't get--
How does a mid-level narcotics smuggler
get hooked up with a bunch of Middle-Eastern radicals?
Espo, I can't find a connection
if I don't even know where to start.
How are you guys doing on the planes?
Ryan and I have been through every flight plan
of every private jet that's departed from here to Albany,
and only a couple of 'em filed flight plans for France.
So far,
they all seem legit.
So Ryan and I are gonna expand our search in the morning.
Kate.
What?
You should go.
He needs you.
Kate.
Thank God. Is there any news?
Uh, no, not yet, but we are doing everything that we can.
Well, where's Richard?
I thought that he was with you.
No. He told me he was gonna be with you,
working on the case.
Martha, I haven't seen him all day.
Oh, no.
What?
No.
It's gone.
What's gone?
Oh, it's so stupid. It's just stupid.
Martha, what's going on?
Pick up. Pick up. Pick up. Pick up.
Castle.
Richard, where are you?
I'm at the precinct with Beckett. Why?
Don't lie to me, Richard.
Beckett is here. Your passport is gone.
Now what the hell do you think you're doing?
Getting my daughter back.
Sync by YYeTs.com Corrections by Alex1969 www.addic7ed.com
Paris? What the hell is he doing in Paris?
He thinks that he can find her.
What, so he's Liam Neeson now?
Liam Neeson? The dude's barely Ashley Judd.
Look, in the state that he's in,
who knows what he's capable of?
But he says that he knows someone that can help.
You gonna go after him?
And a lose a day flying out there
and another one tracking him down
in a place that I don't have jurisdiction or authority?
No.
Look, he's...
He's acting like a father,
and... I have to act like a cop.
Can you circle back with the feds?
Have 'em widen the search to any private jets
flying out to anywhere in Europe.
And, Ryan, I'm hitting a wall with Roger Henson.
You think you can reach out to your guys in Narcotics?
Maybe they heard something on the streets.
Yeah.
Look, you guys, I don't know who Castle
thinks he knows.
But let's find his daughter before he does something stupid
and gets himself killed.
Merci, Colette.
Et si jamais vous quittez votre petit ami...
Richard?
Hello, Gaston.
Richard, I am so terribly sorry.
If there's anything I can do...
You're still working as an advisor
to the minister of defense, right?
Yes, but that gives me very little pull
with the police nationale.
Uh, I could make inquiries, though.
No. Um... I appreciate it.
I'm not really looking for a bureaucratic runaround.
When you were advising me
on those last few Derrick Storm novels,
you mentioned a man that the French government
would sometimes hire
when they couldn't afford to take official action.
Ricky, I told you that in confidence.
But he exists?
It is one thing to write about these characters
from the safety of your own desk.
But men like this,
they are not the kind of people you ever want to know.
Beatrice--she must be, what, 14 now?
Patrice going on 9?
I want you to think about how it feels
when you hug them,
the look in their eye when you come home.
And now imagine them gone.
He's expensive.
I don't care.
Gaston, please.
Stay close to your phone.
Yo, Beckett.
They didn't fly to Paris, at least not at first.
FAA shows a Dassault Falcon
departing Teterboro to Brussels
18 hours after the girls were taken.
The plane was then designated a Medical Angel Flight,
transporting two young women awaiting organ transplant
from Brussels to Paris.
Alexis and Sara.
French immigration met the plane and processed the girls
before they were loaded onto an ambulance.
They were both unconscious at the time.
That's how they did it.
What do we know about the plane?
It's owned by one of those Russian oligarchs--
Uh, Vladimir Abramovich.
And how is he connected to the El-Masris?
He's not.
In fact, it's possible he's not even involved.
His plane was in Paris under repairs.
And none of his people even knew it was taken.
These people stole a jet?
For a simple hostage exchange?
That doesn't add up.
Hey, so I talked to my guys in Narcotics.
Now they didn't seem to know much
about what Henson had been into recently
or where he'd been living,
but they did know something that we didn't.
Henson had a girlfriend.
"'Vengeance is mine,' sayeth the Lord.
'I will repay.'"
But sometimes,
the Lord needs a little help, huh?
Thank you for coming.
Don't thank me yet.
My terms.
Half now. Half when I find her.
Can you find her?
Yes.
But I don't promise to find her alive.
That, I'm afraid, is out of my control.
Where do we start?
I understand there is a recording
of a call she made to you.
How did you...
Yeah, there's a recording.
I'll need a copy.
There's nothing on it that indicates where she is.
And who told you that?
The FBI.
Well, then you thank God I'm not the FBI.
Come.
Where are we going?
To see a friend.
Bonjour, Henri.
Bonjour.
Monsieur Castle, I presume.
Yeah.
And--and you are?
We call him Le Taupe.
The mole.
Il est tendu, huh?
- Mm. Pas mal. - What?
He says you're nervous. He can hear your heart?
What's out-- what's outside the window?
Nothing. Nothing. I can't see anything.
The windows are covered up.
They're coming. They're coming. They found out we're gone.
Baby, get of there. Get out of there now.
I told you, there's nothing on there.
Nothing to see or hear.
Ah. You listen with your eyes. Shh.
There. Hear that?
No.
Right there.
Church bells.
St. George's, in the 16th.
From the sound of it,
she's, uh, six,
maybe eight blocks away.
And there's a restaurant in the building she's in.
How can you tell that?
Sounds, Mr. Castle, are like fingerprints.
No two are alike.
Ah, that hum?
It's from a restaurant ventilation system,
commercial grade,
and, uh...
It needs servicing.
When was the last time you slept?
I-I don't know. I'm good.
No, this will take some time.
I will wake you when we find something, huh?
What's out--
What's outside the window?
They're coming.
They found out we're gone.
Baby, get out of there. Get out of there now.
Ms. Degarmo,
I'm gonna ask you again.
What else can you tell me about Roger Henson's murder?
I don't have to tell you nothing.
I know my rights. You can't keep me here.
He's dead,
tortured.
I'm just trying to find the people that did it to him.
Listen, bitch,
I don't talk to cops.
Now go get me my lawyer and then go to hell--
Do you have any idea what this is all about?!
You think I'm some beat cop
busting you on possession charges?
My partner's daughter is missing,
and you...
are in my way.
Now you don't talk to cops?
I'm not a cop today, honey.
Who was he working for?
He didn't say.
Who's this guy?
I don't know.
What?
But Roger got strange calls in the middle of the night.
People with accents.
What kind of accents?
- Foreign. - What phone did he use?
He didn't give me the number!
Good. I believe you.
Now you're gonna give me his address.
Looks like somebody got here first.
These people hired him to kidnap those girls.
So why would they torture and murder him?
Why would they toss this place?
Maybe it wasn't the same guys.
Who else is it gonna be?
Check with the neighbors. See if they saw anything.
Yeah.
Beckett, computer.
Get it to Tech.
Have them tear it apart. Find me something,
anything.
What's going on?
You found something?
Maybe.
Acoustic tiles,
office space, close to a rooftop--
might fill the bill.
I'm coming.
No, no, no. It might not be the place.
I don't care.
It could be the place.
My daughter, my money.
I'm coming.
They were here.
Not anymore.
This is not the work of typical kidnappers.
The place is clean.
It's too clean.
This is tradecraft.
Tradecraft as in spies?
Whoever is behind this has intelligence training.
They left no trace.
So how do we find 'em?
You said you could find them--
They're listening.
So if the cops find this place,
they stay ahead of the investigation.
Who are these people?
Let's find out.
I know you're out there.
I know you're listening, so you know I'm not a cop.
I'm not interested in you, your cause, or the law.
All we want is the girl.
You got what you wanted.
Now she's meaningless to you, but not to me.
So if you're smart, you call,
we discuss terms.
But if you are stupid,
then I will come for you.
I expect by now you have run voice recognition,
so you know who I am, you know my reputation,
and you know what I will do when I find you.
The choice is yours.
Oui.
Venez seul.
"Sans le père"?
Without the father?
Don't you see? This is good news.
They want to negotiate. It means she's safe.
You're not having that meeting without me.
You are emotionally compromised.
That makes you like an animal to them--
unpredictable and dangerous.
Monsieur Castle...
This is what I do.
It's what you pay me for.
Now let me meet with them.
Let me negotiate the terms.
Oh, and of course they will ask for more money.
I need to know...
How much can you afford?
Yo, Beckett.
One of Henson's neighbors saw someone leaving his apartment
two days back.
We just got the sketch.
That's the same dude who was spotted leaving the farmhouse
where Henson's body was found.
First he tortures Henson,
and then he trashes his place. Why?
Where are you with Henson's hard drive?
It's been erased,
and not with commercial software.
Were you able to pull anything from it?
I'll do what I can,
but I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Do it. We gotta figure out what he was looking for.
Don't worry.
Henri always comes through.
Shouldn't he be back by now?
He is.
Was she there?
Yes, and she is safe.
This is today's paper.
Why did they take her?
It was convenient, but they've agreed to let her go.
When?
Later today, in the forest of Fontainebleau.
It will give you time to get the money together.
Detective Beckett!
Henson was looking at these.
Surveillance photos.
Oh, God. Alexis.
She wasn't at the wrong place at the wrong time.
She was the target.
Where's Alexis? I don't see her.
Stay calm.
No, no, no. This isn't right.
It's not right.
Don't move.
You're selling me out? Why?
I value my life more than my word.
If I had known who was really holding your daughter,
who your daughter really is...
Who she really is? Look, I-I don't understand.
I would never have taken the job.
She's nobody.
Attendez.
Mon paiement?
Wait. Okay, wait.
Just... what do you want?
If I'd wanted you dead,
you'd be dead.
You're the guy in the sketch. You were at the farmhouse.
That's right.
Your friend there was pretty good,
but a bit out of his league.
I am not surprised that he crossed to the other side.
You know what's going on here?
You--do you know where my daughter is?
Look, we're exposed here. We gotta go now.
Go? What are you talking about? Go where?
Somewhere safe. Get in the car.
No, not until you tell me what's going on.
Beckett, I am so glad you called.
Castle, Alexis wasn't
taken by accident.
She was the target. They wanted her.
Listen, I--
What are you doing?! That was a $200 phone.
And that's how they track you.
Now get in the car.
Hey, I am not getting in the car.
Oh, don't be an idiot. I'm the good guy.
Oh, you expect me to trust you?
Well, you're still alive, aren't you?
What are you gonna do,
stay out here in the woods with all the dead guys?
Fine.
I'll get in the car.
Given how you're feeling so bad
about your 200-buck phone,
you might want to pick up that $3-million briefcase.
Take it with you.
At least tell me your name.
Hunt. Jackson Hunt.
That sounds made up.
It is.
Hey!
Hey, could someone just please tell me what's going on?
Why am I here?
We should be safe here for now.
Where did you get these?
That's not important.
You know what's important, is we get her back.
Well, I don't even know you. Why would you care?
It's my job. I was sent.
By whom, the El-Masris?
What's the difference?
You need to tell me who hired you
and why these people took my daughter.
That's yours.
You want to get it?
How is it mine? You shot mine.
It's a clone. That's how I tracked you.
The difference is that that one's secure.
It's probably Beckett.
You ought to let her know you're safe.
It's not Beckett. It's a local number.
Alexis.
Alexis?
I'm afraid not, Mr. Castle.
But I am the one holding her.
If you value her life,
you will give the phone to the man standing next to you,
the one responsible
for all the bloodshed in the woods.
Yeah?
It's you.
After all these years, it's finally you.
Time to let her go, Volkov.
The way you let Anna go?
No. It's time to end things.
A life
for a life.
Tomorrow, 6:00 AM.
Outside the Palais Bourbon.
If you show, I'll spare her.
But if you don't,
I will put a bullet in her brain instead of yours,
and we start again.
This is about you?
Yeah.
I don't understand.
What does this have to do with Alexis?
Why would they take her?
Because I was careless.
Because somehow he found out who she was, who you were,
and he knew I'd come for her.
Why? Why would you come for her?
Because she's my granddaughter.
Richard,
I'm your father.
You're telling me you're a spy?
"Intelligence asset" is the term.
My dad's a spy.
Does my mom know?
What did she tell you about me?
Uh, that it was a special night.
She was in love.
She woke up the next morning, you were gone.
She never saw you again.
Yeah, that night,
I had just finished a job at the UN.
Least I thought I had.
And the next day, things went south.
I had to get out of the city fast.
It was a year before I was stateside again.
That's when I found out about you.
You've known about me...
about us, all these years,
and you never once let us know you were out there?
What I do means no communication,
no relationships, to anyone.
But... hey, I've been around.
We've met before.
Yeah.
When you were about 10 years old,
your mother took you to the library,
and you were looking for a book and, uh,
I gave you a copy of, uh--
"Casino Royale."
Yeah.
That was you?
That book made me want to become a writer.
I couldn't believe it when I read your first spy novel.
You read my books?
Oh, yeah. I greased some wheels at the CIA
when you were trying to get access
to some information for research.
I know that's not much,
but for a minute there...
it made me feel like a father.
No, I've been, uh, checking on you and your mom
and Alexis
your whole lives.
This man who has my daughter, who is he?
Gregor Volkov?
The KGB's most feared agent.
I killed his wife Anna,
a counter-intelligence operative,
12 years ago in an operation here in Paris.
The first time he came after me,
I put him away in a Chechen prison for life.
Then... he escaped.
And he's been trying to figure out a way
to draw me out ever since.
If this was about Alexis,
why would he take the other girl?
Because if he just took Alexis,
it wouldn't be international news.
He needed somebody high-profile. He needed me to know.
And now he's got me exactly where he wants me.
If I don't show up tomorrow, he will kill her.
And if you do show up?
He'll kill us both just for fun.
If you know me at all, you know I'll do anything.
Then our only advantage is
Volkov doesn't know I've found him.
He may not be prepared for a direct assault.
If I can get inside his compound,
I can get Alexis out.
A direct assault?
This is our best shot, her best shot.
But we need a tactical advantage.
I can't do this alone.
Tell me what you need.
Where she's being held,
there's a conduit supplying it
that runs through the old sewer system.
You cut those cables, you cut their power.
Lights, alarm, security video--
that conduit's the key.
What do you say, kid?
You been playing cop for years.
You ready to play spy?
How are we doing?
Yeah, I'm almost there.
You should see a junction box
with six conduits coming from it.
I see it.
The one you want is the third one from the bottom.
Got it.
Wrap the charge around it like I showed you
and then attach the detonator.
All right. I'm setting the detonator for 30 seconds...
Now.
Hey.
Don't move.
We may have a problem.
Dad?
Dad.
Alexis?
Alexis.
- Dad. Dad! - Alexis.
Alexis.
Hey.
You okay?
Yeah, but... what are you doing here?
Did they kidnap you, too?
Uh... yeah.
Trying to... rescue you.
You shouldn't be here.
Shh. It's okay. We're together now.
It's gonna be okay.
You--you look good.
You are like your father, Mr. Castle.
Getting involved where you don't belong.
Did he really think
I would not prepared for an attack?
Dad, what's he talking about?
Tell her.
Go on. Tell her why she's here.
You have me now.
She's of no use to you. Let her go.
When a man doubles his wealth,
why should he give half of it away?
He had this on him.
Time to end this.
I know that you are here.
I know that you are close.
And I want you to know
that I have your son.
You have ten seconds to show yourself
to my men out front.
Give yourself up...
or I will kill him.
Dad.
It's okay.
Ten...
Nine...
Eight...
- Seven... - I'm sorry.
- It's all right. - Six...
Five...
Four...
- Three... - You're not gonna kill my son, Volkov.
No?
And why is that?
Because you'll be dead.
Get down.
Once the charge goes off,
there'll be a moment when it all hits the fan.
Use this to get her out.
Close your eyes, sweetheart.
And then run.
Go.
Let's go.
His men will move to the front
to respond to my attack.
You move to the back,
through these doors
and right down this corridor.
And what about his men?
What if they try to stop us?
Don't let them.
Just keep moving until you hit the back door
'cause I'll be coming in the front.
Don't stop running, ever...
Not until you reach the US embassy.
And once you reach the embassy,
ask for Deputy Chief of Missions Jim Aldacott.
And he'll provide you both with an official cover story.
One that credits Interpol and the French police
and doesn't include me.
What happens to you after?
Assuming... we're both not killed,
I-I disappear.
No, but we just--
That's the job. That's my life.
Yeah, but, uh... we just met.
I mean, I got a lot of questions,
a lot of things I want to say.
I don't--I don't...
I-I need to have more time.
Maybe we can do that sometime,
you know, someday.
How will I know if you made it?
Oh, you won't. Not officially at least.
I know this has been tough for you, Richard, and...
I just want you to know, son,
I've always been proud of you.
Always.
I have never in my life been so happy to be home.
Amen.
I know we're not supposed to talk about
what really happened, but...
Thank you for everything.
Hey, it's what fathers do.
You think he made it out?
I wish I knew.
You ready?
You're back!
- You're back! Ohh. - It's great to be home.
I'm so glad you're okay.
Please don't do anything like that again without me.
I won't.
It's okay, gram. I'm okay.
Ohh.
Honey, hi.
Come here.
You are brilliant.
Just bril--everybody must be starving.
Come on. I've made breakfast.
Ohh.
Mother, what's this?
Oh, it came for you this morning.
Why, is it important?
Mom...
There's something I want to tell you.
